Chapter 40 Protecting the Good Fields
No one on the second line has changed.
The time left for the second line of fire to fire freely is shorter, and the lethality is not as strong, because the fallen insects have entered the ruins area and there are too many covers.
The old streets and alleys, the red brick bungalows, the asphalt roofs, and the old elm trees at the doorways were all trampled by tentacles.
The complex information was automatically filtered before his eyes, then naturally categorized and output as commands in an orderly manner after entering the void of his mind. When Qi An retreated from the second line, he ordered the two purifiers on the second floor to disconnect from their original connections.
"Only two people broke up?"
Commander Ren was originally going to the garrison command post in the town, but after the remote purification began, for some reason, he seemed to have his feet glued to the factory floor and just stood there at the entrance of the power distribution room, refusing to move.
He had already understood Qi An's actions in closely following the battle situation, and at this moment he blurted out a sentence.
The initial worms are almost at point-blank range with the soldiers, and now the entire ambush team is showing signs of increasing contamination levels.
At this point, the soldiers who are simply weak in resistance are in greater danger.
Old Wei snorted softly: "The soldiers that Xiao Hua and Xiao Liu resonated with had relatively small fluctuations in their pollution values. The other companies' soldiers weren't as calm."
If the resonance suddenly breaks when the soldiers rely on it most, and the Fallen Insects are nearby, their contamination levels will actually spike.
Most soldiers in the close-in defense team do not have high resistance to pollution.
Commander Ren pursed his lips, glanced at Qi An, who was still small and motionless in the center of the cabin, and his gaze was no longer cold.
Qi An spoke in a calm and composed tone: "Now, numbers 4 and 5 are disconnected, and number 4 is connected to numbers 9, 12, 60, 79..."
Next, please equip the purifiers on the second floor with computers. If the battlefield descends into chaos, I will assign areas to the purifiers on the second floor, allowing them to decide on their own purification strategies.
The first sentence is an order, while the second sentence is addressed to the person outside the door.
The technician nodded repeatedly, then took notes.
Qi An glanced at the reconnaissance aircraft's surveillance footage, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Just as she was squinting, the surveillance camera suddenly went black.
A shotgun shell hit the reconnaissance plane!
Qi An immediately said, "Lin Jia Ran, disconnect from numbers 15-22 and reconnect to numbers 45, 50-53, 110, and 112. Quickly!"
Commander Ren, Ren Haoyuan, glanced at the soldier information with the corresponding number on his tablet, and a smile appeared on his lips, but his eyes were still solemn.
On the battlefield, numbers 45 and 50-53 were almost pounced on in the face by a "captain"!
This fallen insect unit even has a "captain"! None of them are "sergeant majors"!
The captain resembled a humanoid porcupine, his round body covered with short, hard, needle-like tentacles. The long tentacles extending from his body were also like needles with thread ends, moving silently and strangling the two soldiers operating the mortar together!
Number 110's heart was punctured, and the connection was automatically cut off.
Lin Jiaran, however, also took several more hits under Qi An's orders.
Number 45 reacted quickly, grabbed the seriously injured Number 112 and pushed him behind him, while simultaneously thrusting his gun forward, forcing the insect to retreat.
Number 112 was caught by Number 51, who picked it up and handed it to the military doctor downstairs.
They were on the roof of a four-story building.
Number 45 felt a chill when he saw a "Captain" level Wisps of Insect suddenly appear, but then immediately realized that he had a remote resonance.
He has the protection of that "White Pagoda"!
Number 45 suddenly twisted his body, dodging a "needle" shot, his hands firing continuously, and he had already slid to the left of the "captain".
Number 51 moved at the same time as him, his movements even more agile, and he floated to the right of the "Captain".
Number 52 is the sniper; he's in a small corner on the roof, seemingly blending into the roof.
He was now in a state of complete unity, except that both he and the gun were turned around, facing the "captain" from behind.
The captain's eyes darted around, and "embroidery needles" rained down from all directions!
The needle tip is sharp, and the thread is flexible; if it gets on you, it will cause serious damage. However, the No. 45 and No. 51 needles on both sides react very quickly.
Number 51 moves like a gentle breeze, or a slender orchid swaying in the breeze, swaying left and right, yet not a single needle sticks to her.
Number 45's response was simple and brutal: he lay down and, while lying down, removed a long metal tube from his back and extended it forward.
Blue flames shot out from the metal tube, instantly burning the wave of tentacles that were attacking him to the root!
However, the spikes on the "Captain's" body do not burn. When bullets hit them, it's as if they're hitting a metal jungle, making a clanging sound, as if they don't even penetrate the flesh!
The captain's scream seemed triumphant, but something immediately went into its flesh!
One of the embroidery needles held by the "captain" was also pointed directly forward.
Number 53, directly in front, threw down his rifle and drew his knife from behind.
The knife flashed like a wheel or a tornado, completely enveloping the "embroidery needle" tentacles!
He coiled it up and lifted it up again, stretching the tentacle into a straight line. At the same time, he drew the short knife from his waist, twisted his body, and used his waist and hips to drive his arms, throwing it with force!
The dagger plunged into the "captain's" abdomen!
The "Captain" was covered in thorns, with long thorns on his back and short, thick, round thorns on his abdomen, like a layer of bumpy scales!
However, this fine steel dagger was sharp enough, and with the immense force that could hold a high-level intelligent insect in place for a moment, it still pierced into its scales, even forcing the insect to retreat backward!
Number 53 hesitated for a moment, but still threw down the long sword and rushed forward like an arrow, gripping the hilt of the short sword and thrusting it forward!
"Holy crap! Sister Jiang dares to get close!" Number 51 exclaimed.
"Don't go too far!!" Lin Jiaran screamed in the town's power distribution room.
Pollution level 53 spiked dramatically!
If Lin Jiaran were on the battlefield, even if Sister Jiang's face was touched by the "Captain," she could still purify it back, but the equipment has its limits!
Lin Jiaran noticed that all the terminal pollution values were soaring. In her shock, her own pollution value also rose sharply, but it was immediately suppressed by Qi An.
As Jiang Jie, on the front line, gripped her short knife and pushed the insect back, she was also enveloped by long tentacles, and two "embroidery needles" had deeply pierced through her bulletproof vest!
But a sharp shout rang out behind her: "Sister, bow your head!"
Despite being seriously injured and bound, Jiang Jie still heard the voice and gritted her teeth, shrinking her body sharply downwards.
The moment she ducked down, a blade flashed horizontally above her head.
The captain's head flew up!
Number 51 picked up the long sword right after Number 53 threw the knife and beheaded him in one stroke!
There were no cysts on his head, so "Captain" was not dead yet, but all the tentacles that had been binding No. 53 had loosened.
Number 45 rushed over, pulled out the two "needles", hugged Sister Jiang and rushed downstairs.
Downstairs, there were also purification specialists from their squad who had gone to the battlefield.
Number 45 felt dazed. Jiang Jie was right next to a high-level wisdom insect, yet she didn't experience a level 4 mutation!
What about him? He also engaged in close combat, and he's still quite lucid! He doesn't even seem particularly panicked or scared!
Is this the blessing from the "White Pagoda"?
He will never wash his hair again, and he will never take off that soft cap again! The "captain" is not dead yet, but he is seriously injured.
Number 51 was also stabbed hard, but his body only swayed slightly. He raised his long knife and stabbed it fiercely down from the headless severed head!
But it didn't work.
The captain suddenly turned around, dodging the knife, and simultaneously rammed his back into number 51.
However, as the captain turned around, he exposed his abdomen to sniper number 52.
The sniper fired three large-caliber armor-piercing rounds in quick succession, hitting the three areas with the densest armor plates.
The captain staggered when he was hit in the abdomen, near his navel.
The sniper immediately fired two more shots at that spot!
The "captain" lay in a pool of blood.
Three mortars, including a 120mm mortar mounted on the roof of this four-story building, and the other two on the roof of the adjacent building one story lower.
Lin Jiaran was attacked by the Huichong on both sides at the same time, which is why he was under too much pressure and almost lost his composure!
But they managed to stabilize the situation; the other side's Wisps was just a weak apprentice priest.
The moment the reconnaissance plane went black, Qi An knew that the next fierce battle would likely take place next to the two artillery pieces.
Of course, she had already considered this even without the black screen; the black screen simply made her issue the command to disconnect faster.
Heavy weapons have always been a key focus for high-combat-power Fallen Insects, especially since they are attacking a town this time.
The wheat seedlings on thousands of acres in the town have already formed ears, and their color is transitioning from emerald green to golden yellow.
Cotton and peanuts have also been planted.
She wore a thick coat before getting on the bus this morning because it was windy.
If the Fallen Insects could capture a mortar, with shells having a range of nearly 7 kilometers, they could easily fly over concrete walls and explode in the farmland.
With sparks flying and a strong wind blowing, will the townspeople's year's work and livelihood be destroyed in an instant?
Qi An is in command now; this kind of thing will never happen!
