Metal umbrellas bloomed over the base, intercepting all biological missiles. William still had time to shoot down several black-winged aerial beasts high in the sky with anti-aircraft guns.
These huge aerial beasts, which are only a few kilometers high and fly very slowly, are living targets for the fortress's anti-aircraft guns. Even if they maneuver to avoid, the shells are end-guided and can pursue them on their own, ensuring that they explode within a certain range of the target.
Seeing that the four umbrella-shaped air defense systems were fully firing, completely protecting the fortress from the air, William finally handed over the command to his deputy. He boarded the mecha and lifted a several-meter-long mecha from the weapon rack. He inserted the single-barreled cannon into a magazine marked with a special eye-catching mark, then came to the city wall and waited quietly for something.
Joseph had climbed up from the ground and climbed onto the wall again.
The empty area outside the city that was originally blasted by small nuclear bombs has now been mostly refilled by war beasts.
However, Joseph was not surprised but overjoyed. After this attack on the beast tide outside the city, almost all the Thornback beasts were wiped out, and many lizard beasts were also wiped out. This kind of invisible little thing likes to accompany the spinyback beasts very much, and will often wait until the group of alien beasts is almost dead or injured before moving out.
It’s just that if the same conspiracy is used too often, no matter how stupid a person is, he will find a solution. Joseph used a miniature nuclear bomb to kill most of the spinyback beasts and lizard beasts.
The giant rhino beasts charged against the hail of bullets as always, but their speed was too slow, and their solid bodies were not enough to stand out against the obviously more powerful rapid-fire cannons on the fortress walls. Dozens of giant rhinoceros beasts fell down one by one before they finally rushed to the city.
"Something is wrong. Why are there so few giant rhinos?" Joseph said.
"There's nothing wrong! Because they are all damn living missiles!" William was already a little angry. Umbrellas bloomed one after another in the sky, intercepting an endless stream of small living missiles.
In the blink of an eye, the ammunition inventory of the umbrella system had bottomed out, but after seeing the power of biological missiles, William did not dare to let any missile fall into the fortress.
At this moment, Joseph was standing in the position, carrying a huge rapid-fire machine gun, constantly shooting at the beast tide outside the fortress. As he strafed, he said loudly: "Did you find where the missiles came from?"
"No!"
"Can't even calculate ballistics? Damn it, I forgot they are alive again."
After another wave of living missiles was intercepted, no new missiles finally appeared. William stared at the sky with all his concentration, and did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief until a few minutes later.
"Gone?"
"It's gone... right?" William wasn't sure either.
"It's just gone!" Joseph ruthlessly swept the last few beasts into pieces and slowly lowered the muzzle.
William came to his side, looked at the devastated fortress, and suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong? Didn't we win the battle? The casualties are still within an acceptable range, why are you still sighing? You are not worried about those two little guys, are you?"
"There is no need to worry about those two little guys, they will definitely not survive. If they are smart enough, they should change places early." After a pause, William said: "After several days of replenishment, we have expanded enough defenses. The facilities and combat power have nearly doubled. I originally thought that I could easily deal with the beast tide again, but I didn’t expect that they almost broke through the fortress. If there are more waves of living missile attacks, we will not have the ammunition ready. , I can only watch them blow up the fortress."
"What do you think the next time the beast tide appears again, what new tricks will it have?" Joseph asked.
William was silent and shook his head.
Joseph also sighed and stopped talking.
At Base No. 2, Chu Jungui sat in a daze on the weapons tower at the top of the base as usual. Next to him, Lin Xi stood taller than him, and simply stood on the barrel of the air defense tower.
She looked far into the distance, not knowing what she was looking at. She had to stand here and watch for a while every day for the past two days. Chu Jungui didn't want to ask the reason, and even if he wanted to ask, he couldn't. His brain was all used to analyze a very critical research project, a new type of hard composite material.
This composite material has the hardness of an alloy and corrosion resistance comparable to biological materials. In Chu Jungui's plan, this material will be used to produce a new generation of mechanical components to replace the old transmission structure in the weapon tower. In this way, the pointing of the weapon tower will be faster and more accurate, not only increasing the power, but also allowing Chu Jungui to consume less, indirectly increasing the number of weapon stations that can be controlled at the same time.
Anything that can improve firepower has always been a high-priority project.
His research process was going very smoothly, but was suddenly interrupted by a cheer.
"The beast tide is coming!" Lin Xi shouted happily.
Chu Jungui was stunned. The beast tide is coming. Is it such a joyful thing?
Lin Xi didn't pay attention to the strange expressions of the test subjects, and directly ordered all members on the communication channel: "Discover the beast tide, prepare to fight!"
Thanks to Lin Xi's excellent and meticulous planning, all combatants knew what they had to do in normal times and which positions they were in during wartime.
Three red flares were raised in the base to notify the soldiers who were out harvesting resources in this ancient way to return to the base.
The soldiers who were still collecting resources immediately jumped on the engineering vehicle and returned at full speed. The soldiers on duty in the base rushed to the predetermined position, and then quickly marked and took over the weapons station. Under normal circumstances, Chu Jungui will not take over the marked weapons station. Of course, when necessary, Chu Jungui still has the highest authority and can take over control of any weapons station at will, including Lin Xi's.
It only took a few minutes from the time the beast tide was discovered to when all the weapons stations in the base pointed their guns in the direction of the beast tide. At this time, the front line of the beast tide has not yet come within ten kilometers.
The entire No. 2 base was completely silent, and everyone was waiting for the beast tide to arrive. Although they are still far apart, looking at the dark area, you can tell that the scale of this beast wave is far greater than before. Even some veterans of the Lancers have sweaty palms at this moment.
Chu Jungui has long regarded fighting as a part of his life. He is fearless and will not be arrogant. He calmly waits for the beast tide to arrive, just like waiting for his daily breakfast, without any fluctuations. Lin Xi also calmed down from her excitement and poked out a large number of gun barrels from her position.
At this moment, the little princess secretly connected to Chu Jungui's channel: "Jun Gui, will we die from such a huge beast wave?"
"Won't."
Chu Jungui's voice was very calm, and the little princess was also affected and not so flustered. However, she was still a little worried and asked, "Can we really beat him?"
"difficult……"
Chu Jungui's words made the little princess feel excited.
But he immediately added: "With so many war beasts, it still takes a while to kill them."
The little princess once again had the urge to strangle him.
