Chapter 68 Ninety-five Pioneers
"Mom mess with Fake..."
The commander is not an idiot, he has no strength left to be angry.
He knew that when the prey tried to break out of the encirclement, the wolves would attack immediately, regardless of whether the encirclement was completed or not. At this time, no matter whether he chose to gather troops or defend on the spot, it was not as effective as letting the train continue to run wildly.
Those red dots "running wildly" above the train are swimming in the sea. The tentacles of the "mimic" alien can rotate at high speed like propellers, and there is a layer of oily mucous membrane on the surface of the body, making it like a high-speed submarine when swimming.
But once they spread out their tentacles and drilled into the mud on the seabed to launch an attack on the train, their speed would drop sharply.
If you pause for a moment, you will be left behind by a train traveling at 300 kilometers per hour.
This is the speed of life and death!
Now the freight train has become a more attractive one. As long as it survives the last ten minutes and breaks out of the ground, the British side will have missile aircraft to support it and artillery positions to respond.
So there is only one order left that can be issued at this time, "The train will not stop and cannot stop! Troops at all levels must defend themselves!"
However, no one heard this sentence, because at the same time, a voice exactly like his appeared on the channel, "I am the commander, follow my orders!"
"Fuck Fuck!"
The real commander is incompetent and furious because he was actually banned from the channel!
*****
"Whoosh~whoosh~!" The train was speeding forward at an extremely fast speed.
Suddenly some soil fell from the top of the reinforced concrete tunnel and hit the train with a "crash~".
A tentacle stretches out from the wall, presses the inner wall, and "pulls" the body out of the wall.
Then countless tentacles came from deep inside the wall, and the soil fell down, as if large bushes sprouted from the roof, and the tentacles swayed in the darkness like snakes.
Those half-biological, half-metal tentacles twisted together and rotated, breaking through the thick concrete like drills and sending the body into the tunnel.
The mimic's tentacles were no harder than concrete. The front penetrated the wall, causing serious wear and tear on the mimic itself. The mimic creature behind simply pushed away or even tore apart the remains of the body in front, and then crawled along the top of the tunnel flexibly like a spider.
"shooting!"
Countless lines of fire extended upward, and the battle broke out in the most violent manner in an instant!
Thousands of mimic aliens rushed into the tunnel along the holes, just like the swarm of octopus robots attacking Zion in "The Matrix". When they charged forward, they did not rush forward in a swarm, but in layers, in waves, like a tidal wave.
They don't want to destroy anyone at all, but they want to drown someone!
The military train attracted most of the "mimic" firepower. As expected, the "mimic" aliens swimming in the sea could still firmly bite the speeding train with their speed. But those "mimics" who wanted to attack, when they
When they drilled through the wall, they found that most of the train was already speeding past below.
These "mimics" either jumped down desperately, then landed on the roof of the car, hit the wall, or were torn apart by bullets and bullets... It was completely up to fate;
Or if you "hesitate" for just a second or two, you will simply fall on the track behind the train, wave your tentacles and run after the train like a dog.
When the tunnel above the head was drilled full of holes, the transparent seawater poured down and hit the roof of the car.
In the reflection of the gunfire, it seemed like a pouring rain.
This tens-billion-dollar undersea tunnel may collapse at any time. The surging seawater converges into a river, which not only submerges the railway tracks, but also makes the "mimic" creatures immersed in the water feel like a fish in water, and the pursuit speed suddenly accelerates!
Mimicry aliens can survive underwater or underground, but humans don't have this ability.
"Speed up! Speed up! Speed up!" Everyone almost converged into one thought, and the two trains went one behind the other, like running towards the end of the world!
The "mimic" aliens chasing behind were sneaking and jumping, and seemed ready to turn into a flood and engulf the second half of the train at any time.
Wang Hu temporarily took over the position of the commander. He continued to issue short and clear instructions through the human accident system. The computing resources were limited, and there was no sophisticated tactical command at this time. The most effective command was a few simple and clear words.
.
"C6, C12, machine gunners get on the roof and block the roof of the tunnel behind", "D2 to E10, fire freely!", "Be careful of tunnel collapse, heavy weapons are never allowed to be used" and so on.
…
The (trailer) letter + number number is the team number that was temporarily formed during the retreat. Since the team is temporarily put together from several disabled squads, the numbers are arranged in the order of the trailers after boarding.
Therefore, in this case, it is simply impossible to establish an effective multi-level command system.
Without a God's perspective and no clear understanding of the situation of the troops, Wang Hu could only maximize the limited resources in his hands. He pretended to be the "supreme commander of the regiment", directly commanded the team vertically, and issued
Some simple and correct instructions.
The content of each article is very simple, but the effect is very significant!
Because Wang Hu's purpose is not to command the troops at all, but to calm down the troops in chaos. Especially when he keeps repeating, "Time is on our side."
Sure enough, it worked. As one team after another returned to normal command, the resistance continued to increase. After calming down, orders such as shooting in a certain direction did not need to be issued by the regiment commander at all. The team could do it by themselves.
judge.
8 minutes left...
At this time, Wang Hu finally had the energy to care about the other side.
After seeing the result, I was surprised at first, because there were actually two carriages missing on the opposite side! Did you give up voluntarily to maintain the speed? Or did you have to give up because the "mimic" aliens got into the carriage behind?
Wang Hu suddenly didn't want to know...
He pulled his thinking tentacles back and prepared to take the most critical step. Yes, what he said before was not a lie. Time is indeed "on our side" but the premise is that there is still time!
As seawater pours into the tunnel, the shallow water submerging the railway tracks is gradually rising into deep water.
In water, the speed of sneaking "mimic" aliens will increase exponentially.
At the same time, what is even worse is that the speed of the train running in the sea will inevitably decrease!
That is to say, according to Wang Hu's prediction, the column will be overtaken by the "mimic" aliens behind it before rushing out of the tunnel, and the result will be that the entire vehicle will be killed...
The "mimic" aliens are intelligent. After discovering this, they drilled through the wall even more crazily, allowing more seawater to pour in.
Although there are only 8 minutes left in the end, these 8 minutes are like an eternal chasm!
"F1, F2, abandon your vehicles and move forward. The G1 and G2 teams are responsible for covering. After receiving the response from F1 and F2, they advance staggered to E2, and E2 receives the response. E3, set a 2-minute timer to blast and then retreat... Others,
Defend yourself!”
The order was simple and clear. The soldiers of the F1 team in the last trailer jumped off the military truck and waded forward through the water.
A "mimic" suddenly emerged from the water behind the car. Several tentacles surged and grabbed two soldiers from behind!
One was dragged directly into the dark deep water, and disappeared without a trace with a grunt. The other was penetrated by a tentacle in the chest, and before he could speak, the second tentacle penetrated his tentacle and tore the soldier from the middle!
"Touch ve! Touch ve! Touch ve!" the squad leader roared at the top of his lungs.
No one in the attacked group looked back. They knew their fate from the moment they jumped out of the car! The responding group on the opposite side burst into gunfire! The "mimic" behind them chased after them like crazy!
"Boom" The truck they were riding in was overturned by the "mimic" and fell into the water. The carriage was torn open like paper, and a "mimic" alien spun and rushed in.
If they were still in the carriage, they would have been cut into pulp by the jagged tentacles...
All they had to do was lower their heads and run wildly! Bullets flew past their heads and around them. They might be accidentally killed by the corresponding guns, or they might be torn apart by the chasing aliens!
But no one has a choice!
A moment later, the F2 that was responding to them joined the running ranks, and another truck behind them was dragged into the water...
The water has already covered my thighs, and the flood peak coming from behind seems to be able to swallow the roof of the train. What is particularly terrifying is the tentacles trembling in the flood peak.
"You still have 65 seconds! Drop your weapons and move forward at full speed!" They heard someone say in the headphones. The F1 and F2 teams dropped their weapons and backpacks without saying a word, trying to squeeze out the last bit of energy from their bodies and charge forward.
"We are G1." Another group joined the retreat.
The speed of the train combined with the speed of running finally pushed the "mimicry" of the chase away by a small distance.
Ahead, the E3 truck is not far away.
It was an ammunition supply truck, with a truckload of arms, missiles and explosives filling the compartment!
Everyone guessed what the commander was going to do...
Chapter completed!
