One day and one night, the mobile base covered 600 kilometers, and really did not encounter any big beast tide.
It's not that Chu Jungui trusts Xiao Kai, but by relying on the firepower of the mobile base, coupled with the firepower of dozens of modified large-scale engineering vehicles, even if he encounters a wave of A-level beasts, he can fight and run away and slowly escape. Only with the assurance of self-protection can we have the confidence to take risks.
At this time, Planet 4 is gradually ushering in a new dawn. At the end of the horizon, the outline of a base has faintly appeared.
Chu Jungui did not approach rashly, but called Kaitian and asked him to explain the few messengers he caught along the way. These messengers flew into the sky, two of them flew directly towards the fortress, and several others flew around.
After a while, the two messengers circled the fortress and returned. Micro reconnaissance instruments were hung on them. Based on the captured images, Lin Xi, who was proficient in fortress construction, quickly found most of the potential firepower points and defense facilities, while Chu Jungui silently calculated the coordinates.
Xiaokai was originally only responsible for command and translation. After all, the messenger often failed to express what he meant, but after reading the aerial photos, it actually gave the coordinates. The coordinate system is the same as Chu Jungui, with the current position of the mobile base as the origin, and the accuracy is actually quite excellent.
Chu Jungui knew that Lemang had been teaching Xiaokai basic human science knowledge, but he didn't expect it to learn so quickly. How many days has it been?
What's even more amazing is what's to come. Smoke and dust are everywhere on the distant horizon, and a herd of beasts appears and ferociously attacks the Jolly Roger Fortress!
This is when the messenger who went out summoned all the small-scale beast groups encountered nearby to form a beast tide, and then attacked the Jolly Roger Fortress.
On the fortress wall, two soldiers sitting in the turret control position were observing the surroundings while chatting boredly on the internal channel.
"This damn place, even if you want to chat with more people, it's impossible! The range of the internal channel is said to be 500 meters, but in fact it's only 50 meters at most. Outside of this range, you can't even hear what's being said."
"I heard that we have made several reports for better internal communication equipment, but they have been suppressed by the people above and have not been delivered until now."
"Why doesn't Old Mock talk? We are the only three who can chat in this channel."
Old Mock's voice sounded on the channel: "Just stare outside, what's there to talk about? All we could talk about was finished a few days before falling. There are only more than 700 people in the fortress now, don't wait with your eyes wide open. Die?"
"Don't be so nervous! I heard that the latest research results have been published, and the conclusion is that the beast tide has a limit, and the targets they attack are selective. Don't look at the Doomsday Shadow Fortress because there are many people. , so it is the first target of the beast tide. We are so calm here, I guess most of the beast tide has gone to the Shadow of Doom."
"Don't talk nonsense! Don't forget, General Leitner is also in the Shadow of Doom now."
"Why hasn't the general come back yet? By the way, have you heard? It is said that they suffered heavy losses in this attack! Less than 30% can come back alive."
"Where did you get the news?"
"Of course the people who came back alive told me. Although they were given a silence order, I still have a few good brothers who can ignore the order. Besides, this matter can't be kept secret for long."
"8,000 people died just to save a little woman?" someone said in a weird way.
There was silence in the channel. Only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing, so he remained silent.
Old Mock suddenly spoke, his voice trembling: "Look at the screen, there seems to be something!"
"Tide of beasts!" A voice shouted in the channel. Then there were exclamations one after another, and in the blink of an eye a piercing alarm sounded throughout the base. All combatants quickly got into position, and those who were not front-line combatants were immediately evacuated underground.
Dozens of laser beams lit up in the sky above the base, sweeping rapidly through the air and instantly forming a large, airtight net. These laser beams are not for attack, but for scanning. Once they hit the flying beasts or living missiles coming from the air, they will direct air defense firepower to destroy them immediately.
However, nothing was found in the air interception, and the herd on the ground gradually became clearer.
There were a lot of sounds of relief in the communication channel, and someone laughed and said: "You dare to attack with just this little money? Do you have a thousand?"
"The war beast won't take out all the old people who are watching the nest, right?"
"It's very possible! I heard that their lair was taken away once."
The incoming beast tide was sparse and limited in number, and most of them were the lowest-level exotic beasts. There were no giant rhino beasts, no air troops, and not a single living missile. Such a small number of troops is not even a warm-up for a fortress that once withstood attacks from A-level beasts.
Sparse gunshots rang out from the fortress walls, and the guarding soldiers didn't even bother to fire their cannons. The tide of war beasts was so scattered that even one cannon couldn't blow up a few things. This war beast is just right for everyone to practice their marksmanship. However, the laser beams over the fortress did not stop and were still sweeping intensively.
The temporary commander's face was not good-looking. He knew very well how expensive these laser detectors were and how many days they would last in this environment. However, it is impossible to stop them. In the past when the beasts raided, the living missiles left everyone with the impression that they were piled up with corpses. He would rather use up all the detectors in two days than let a living missile fall into the fortress.
Some experienced veterans were a little confused. Why was there so much smoke and dust in the distance when there were only so many war beasts?
Just when most of the soldiers were happily practicing hitting the moving target, there was a sudden roar on the city wall, and something exploded a few meters away from a turret. Even the fortress wall made of alloy armor plates blasted a small gap.
The soldiers guarding the turret had long since left their posts and ran to the observation port to practice individual shooting. He was caught off guard and almost fainted.
"What's going on? Living missile?" the commander asked in the communication channel.
The guard soldiers quickly hid in their fighting positions deep in the turret and searched everywhere, but could not find any sign of living missiles.
Deep in the distant smoke, a mobile base and dozens of armed trucks are driving back and forth, creating smoke and dust. The planet's static and corrosive smoke can effectively block most detection methods. Although Chu Jungui was approaching several kilometers away, the fortress defenders still knew nothing.
The returning messenger reported the location of the impact point of the explosion. Chu Jungui frowned, dissatisfied with the error in the impact point. The shot missed by a full ten meters. But there was nothing we could do. Long-range accuracy was not considered when mechanical keyboards were first manufactured. At that time, there was no point in having a long range.
However, the images brought back by the messenger allowed Chu Jungui to judge that there were not many defenders in the base. Seeing that nearly half of the beasts that were used as cannon fodder and cover in front were killed, Chu Jungui immediately made a decision to attack!
