Chapter 540 Drone Offensive

Luo Mu in the aircraft carrier narrowed his eyes, frowned and pondered.

It was only the beginning of the game, and they had already lost ten people. The losses of both the Red and Blue factions were the Federation's losses.

And Guganxing's backup plan is definitely not just the anti-landing system. Coming here is like being surrounded on all sides...

In order to avoid the enemy's lock, the landing ship deviated from its original trajectory and landed in the desert in a somewhat embarrassing manner.

Boom... Boom... The sound of landing ships crashing to the ground continued to be heard.

Gu Ganxing's first counterattack forced them to land in extremely scattered locations, and also ruined Xiao Feng's plan to destroy the Red Team the moment he landed.

"Luoyue Town!" Yun Mo said.

"Got it," everyone responded.

Before landing, Yun Mo had already sent down the coordinates.

The time they set out was the month of Si, and the combination of the month and the day was of the element of fire.

Yun Mo calculated the good and bad luck of the HLD dungeon by referring to the map, and got the hexagram of Fire Wind Ding, which changed to Fire Thunder Shi Ke.

From the perspective of direction, the northwest in the hexagram is Hai water, Chou earth moves to generate and support You metal, You metal generates Hai water, Xu, Gan, and Hai are northwest. Although it is located in the desert, it is concluded that there is water north of You.

The inner hexagram of the changed hexagram is Zhen, which belongs to wood and is in the east. Chou, Gen and Yin are in the northeast, so there are trees in the east and northeast.

According to the Five Elements, water overcomes fire, and wood generates fire, so you should avoid the northwest and go east or northeast.

The Eastern Zhen Wood Yi plus Geng represents a curved boulevard with large metal equipment piled up.

If the White Tiger opens the gate, it will be difficult for chariots and horses to enter, but infantry can enter. If you are a guest, there are enemies in the small military camp, so you should check and be prepared.

The East is an opportunity. I don’t know what the large metal equipment is, but it should be a help.

Everyone quickly opened the hatch and jumped out of the landing ship to avoid being treated as a target.

The group did not reunite, but headed east. When their feet stepped on the sand, the soft, concave feeling made them feel a little uncomfortable. At this moment, Fang realized that it was fortunate that their backpacks were not that heavy.

In front of the people watching the live broadcast at the base, countless routes appeared at the same time, all leading to the same destination, a small base in the desert.

Bu Yan watched with a dark face, still immersed in the unhappiness of being rejected, but after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but magnify it.

Lambert sat next to him. "No additional information, no discussion, just went straight over? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

With their bird's-eye view, they could naturally see a small base to the east, housing abandoned vehicles and equipment and relatively lightly defended. Other locations were either filled with enemy forces waiting eagerly or faced harsh conditions.

Yun Mo's voice rang out over the channel: "Hurry up! The Blue Team's pursuers are approaching. Spread out and try to find shelter like boulders. Watch out for the sky..."

Xiao Feng watched them running away and waved forward: "Want to run?"

"Go ahead, close the head count gap first!"

The blue team chased and shot at the same time, while the red team members covered their buttocks and fled forward for their lives.

Lin Fancheng panted as he ran, "They're too fast, they're catching up soon. Should we fight back?!"

Yun Mo carried a gun on his shoulder, his expression unwavering: "No, we can't win. Run, run faster, our friendly forces will be here soon!"

"What?" Allen choked on a mouthful of sand. "What friendly forces?"

"Watch your head, watch your head, always watch your head!"

"Turn on maximum shielding and stay hidden!"

Yun Mo quickly ran and jumped behind a huge rock and spoke very quickly: "Now, immediately, everyone lie down on the spot! Keep hidden!"

"What?!"

The Red Team was completely bewildered. They were about to be caught up, and now they were lying there, are you kidding me?!

Fortunately, action was faster than thinking. Everyone lay down on the beach and crawled quickly towards the huge rocks they could see.

Many people reacted quickly. After lying down, they immediately turned around, raised their guns, and prepared to launch a sniper attack.

“Idiot!”

Xiao Feng ran while holding the sniper rifle against his right shoulder. For him, it was almost not difficult to hit the target while running.

The reason we didn't hit them before was, firstly, because their movements were so agile and unexpected, and secondly, the distance was too far, making it difficult to kill them.

Now? Haha, isn't this courting death?

At this moment, "Overhead! Overhead! Everyone take cover!" Yun Mo's voice roared again in the headset.

The roar made the members of the red team bury their heads.

Bu Yan, who was standing in front of the live broadcast screen, opened his mouth wider and wider: "Fuck! How did she know?!"

Five minutes ago, the moment their landing ship landed.

The conversation between the other NPC was interrupted in front of everyone on the live broadcast.

A commander-like figure said, "Another fusion has arrived!"

The adjutant snorted and laughed: "You don't know whether to live or die."

The commander asked, "Have you found the coordinates?"

The adjutant replied: "In the HLD desert, the exact location needs to be further determined."

The adjutant's finger brushed across the light screen. "Shall we try to release the mechanical creatures?"

The commander said, "No need. As usual, let's release the 'bee swarm' first..."

As he finished speaking, several catapults in the Northwest Base were erected with a "buzzing" sound, and hundreds of circular launch holes instantly launched a flood of drones.

The swarm tactic actually originated in China during the Great Earth Era. This tactic once made the arrogant United States nervous.

In reality, drones are being used to mimic the behavior of bees, miniaturizing and maneuvering combat units through dense and tightly coordinated commands. This allows for intensive firing, accurate formations, formation changes, and ground reconnaissance and strike capabilities, as well as precision strikes.

Imagine a vast swarm of small, cheap drones carrying offensive ammunition flying densely over the target. The mere thought of dropping blanket bombs is enough to make one's scalp tingle.

How to respond? Use missiles?

Launching a missile worth millions to attack a drone worth less than ten thousand? And there's no guarantee it'll hit the target. Even if you take down one, there are still countless more!

War is the fastest way to promote technological development.

Later, confrontational counterattacks also appeared quickly, and the most effective one was still the sniping of drone swarms.

Afterwards, after thousands of years of evolution, especially with the increasing sophistication of control methods, the attacks of swarm drones have become even more difficult to defend against.

In particular, the Federation cannot bring large-scale countermeasure equipment this time.

The drones were flying at a low altitude, and unless Luo Mu's warships lowered their altitude and deployed the Federation's counter weapons, the people on the ground could only rely on themselves.

However, Luo Mu couldn't do it.

At this moment, just as the red team members lay down.

A swarm of drones flew over everyone's heads, covering the sky.

"boom……"

"boom……"

The guns of the blue team flashed with reflections, and the biological signals of many people were captured, and they immediately became living targets.

"Oh shit!"

They finally understood why the Red Team reacted.

Some veterans reacted quickly, immediately lowered their bodies, opened their shields, and looked for cover.

However, the corner of Gu Ganxing's NPC commander's mouth curled up coldly, and his finger decisively pointed to the red button.

Drones were densely packed, covering the area, pointing straight down.

Suicide attack, full fire coverage!

Even with a body of steel, it would be difficult to withstand this kind of play.

Xiao Feng was so bloodthirsty that he hid behind a rock and shot at the drone with a sniper rifle.

“Crackle…”

There was a sound of broken wings being hit.

But there were too few of them, the swarm was moving too fast, and the bombing was overwhelming.

"Oh shit!"

Countless members of the Blue Team cursed loudly and were then ejected from the system.

Lambert rolled his eyes at the veteran who had thrown the simulation equipment aside not far away.

Oh, is that all? Didn't even make it through a single episode?

The recruits' faces were filled with excitement. Regardless of whether they could complete the mission in the end, judging from their current situation, they were almost certain to win.

Just as Yun Mo said, strong strength is important, but it doesn’t mean that new recruits have no chance!

Bee Swarm: This is a drone weapon that my country has recently invested in. You can go to bilibili to check it out. It's really exciting.
