Chapter 210 Repelling the Insect Swarm
Meanwhile, the artillery battalion was located on the second line.
It involves continuously filling the cannonballs and then firing them.
The shell shot out of the cannon barrel, arcing gracefully before landing amidst the densely packed Zerg army in the distance.
It hits precisely, then explodes.
Hundreds of insects, along with pieces of flesh and blood blasted into fragments, splattered onto the ground.
Even on the insects around them.
But that's all.
Faced with such a massive number, even with shells constantly falling and exploding, causing the deaths of hundreds of insects, the situation became dire.
It was only a short while later.
The empty spaces were then filled by the surging Zerg.
Such fierce firepower coverage.
The effect it had was, surprisingly, negligible.
"This... is this the Zerg?"
Han Bei and his group arrived at the area between the first and second lines of defense.
Watching the Zerg constantly taking to the air, he fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
They initially thought the Zerg would be easy to deal with.
But now it seems...
Things were not as they imagined.
When the Zerg reach a point not far from the front line, they will take flight.
At this point, shells from the second-line positions could no longer inflict effective damage on them.
The only way to kill those insects is through the soldiers on the front lines.
Only then can we stop the Zerg from further invading.
What the second-line artillery positions can do is to continuously provide fire coverage.
To minimize the number of Zerg sent to the front lines, thus reducing the burden on our comrades.
"Why don't I see Orphan?"
Han Bei, who had been observing for a long time without seeing a single Orphan, couldn't help but frown.
This was clearly unexpected.
Despite the sheer size of the Zerg army, not a single Orphan was seen.
This seems rather bizarre.
"Indeed, they might be hiding behind the Zerg army."
Guo Yong frowned and nodded.
Such a dense army of Zerg is not easy to deal with.
"Our weapons might prove surprisingly effective on the front lines."
Guo Yong said in a deep voice.
In this situation, they brought with them new types of weapons.
It might have unexpected results.
Arrived at the front line.
What comes into view are warriors wielding weapons, constantly fighting against the Zerg.
The person leading them was none other than Jiang Cheng, whom they had encountered earlier.
"Comrades, hold on!"
"Reinforcements from Commander He's side are arriving soon!"
Jiang Cheng roared.
These words were like a shot of adrenaline to everyone.
Many insects bared their fangs and charged into the battle line, only to be killed by the fierce firepower.
The roars rose and fell.
Fire and blood intertwined, and they used their own flesh and blood to build a solid fortress.
Even so.
The number of insects swarming into the area is also increasing.
"Damn it, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"
Seeing the increasing number of insects, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but curse.
Look back.
But then they saw Guo Yong and his men approaching them with weapons.
Meanwhile, Guo Yong and the others continuously used their weapons to assist Jiang Cheng and his men in killing one insect after another.
"Why are you here? Go back! Don't you know how dangerous it is here?!"
Jiang Cheng frowned immediately.
"Of course I'm here to help you."
Guo Yong smiled, but his hands didn't stop moving.
In the blink of an eye.
Many more Zerg died at the hands of Han Bei and his men.
"Don't worry, we'll retreat if there's danger. With us here, your pressure is much less, isn't it?"
Holding the Resonant Shattering Gun, Han Bei smiled and spoke after killing the Zerg creature in front of him.
"you."
Jiang Cheng was speechless upon hearing this.
But a warm feeling welled up inside me.
Even people they had only known for a short time came to help them defend their lines.
So what do they have to complain about?
Even if it means death.
They should die on the battlefield, thus gaining the glory of sacrificing themselves for their country.
With the addition of Han Bei and others.
The pressure in Jiang Cheng's area immediately decreased significantly.
However, the pressure in other regions is getting heavier and heavier.
Just then.
Jiang Cheng glanced back unintentionally.
Dense lines of reinforcements were seen rushing towards various areas at an extremely fast pace.
Upon witnessing this scene.
Jiang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Reinforcements have arrived.
Their pressure will be much less.
The battle lasted for more than two hours.
The once dense Zerg population suddenly seemed to have a gap, with its numbers far less than they had an hour ago.
"Why does it seem like the quantity is decreasing?"
Shaking his slightly numb and stiff arm, Han Bei asked in confusion.
At the same time, my gaze involuntarily turned to the distance.
What was once a vast, densely packed army of Zerg was now in sight.
It is receding like the tide at this moment.
It revealed a large area of charred black soil, smothered by artillery fire, mixed with dark green viscous liquid and various severed limbs.
"Finally, they've driven them back."
Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
After dealing with the Zerg that hadn't managed to retreat within the front lines.
"Finally, they've driven them back."
Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
After dealing with the Zerg that hadn't managed to retreat within the front lines.
Jiang Cheng then collapsed to the ground with a huge sigh of relief.
More than three hours.
They held their ground once again.
"Captain Guo, look."
Han Bei pointed to the Orphan in the distance, whose size and appearance were completely different from ordinary Zerg.
"Olfa"
Looking at the Orpha, which was over two meters tall.
Guo Yong's gaze sharpened.
He quickly raised the electromagnetic gun in his hand, then aimed and pulled the trigger in one smooth motion.
next moment.
The bullet struck Orpha precisely in the right chest, instantly creating a hole larger than a fist.
The Orphan fell to the ground with a thud.
The Zerg didn't even glance at the Orphan.
They all left on their own.
"We have the research materials."
Su Yang's eyes lit up when he saw this.
I was just worried about not being able to find a suitable research subject.
Using ordinary insects as research subjects always feels like something's missing.
Orpha is different.
As an advanced form of the high-level Zerg, it also possesses the ability to resurrect.
Bringing an Orphan back would be perfect as research material.
"Well done."
Su Yang gently punched Guo Yong's shoulder and spoke with a smile.
Based on the information they had seen before.
Orpha has two fatal weaknesses.
One is the brain, and the other is the heart, located in the right chest.
By simply destroying one place, one can completely kill Orpha.
In the current situation.
Clearly, damaging the heart is the primary target.
A healthy brain is far more valuable for research than a heart.
Even if the heart is missing.
There should also be heart samples at Parallel Tower.
After all, the Zerg have been invading for so long.
He didn't believe that there wasn't even a single heart sample.
I'll tell Jin Weiguo that I'll bring back some Zerg specimens and that Orphan for research.
It's not a difficult thing.
