Chapter 175 Southern Theater
The huge mushroom cloud brought by the explosion rose into the sky over the vast land.
Due to the altitude of Hai'an Mine, the amazing destructive power of the antimatter bomb was clearly presented to everyone.
Boom...
The strong shock wave swept across the ground, and the lush forest was like weeds in front of a plow and a rake, and was easily torn into countless flying debris.
The explosion points of the three "nuclear bombs" were perfect.
In front of such a powerful thermal weapon, those small Karami were obviously not enough.
The originally magnificent tide of intelligent machines was torn open in just a few minutes.
Xu Hongming's pupils trembled slightly, and he murmured in a low voice: "This, this is the number..."
"The fourth one."
Lin Hui looked at the missiles that kept "exploding" in the sky, and swallowed hard: "If you count the one at the beginning, it should be the fifth one."
Xu Hongming was shocked by the answer.
Five "nuclear bombs" with super large yields!
He didn't know how many nuclear bombs were left at the rebel headquarters, but he knew that the rebels' nuclear bomb inventory in the southern theater was only about thirty...
Oh, no, there should be only 29 left now.
Considering the vast land of the entire southern theater, it was almost the limit for Hai'an to be allocated one nuclear bomb.
But the opponent's behavior gave Xu Hongming an illusion in his heart - this powerful deterrent weapon seemed to be just a conventional weapon in the eyes of the opponent?
In addition...
Is this thing really a nuclear weapon?
Looking at the extremely large mushroom cloud that covered the sky, Xu Hongming was a little confused.
In his impression, these mushroom clouds seemed to be a little different in appearance from those mushroom clouds he had seen before?
Could it be that...
This is a new type of weapon?
In any case, this friendly army that he had never met must have far more strength than the rebels!
"Commander Xu, we are now..."
Lin Hui looked at the messy forest and asked in a low voice.
"..."
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Xu Hongming's mind.
He knew something about history and knew that the tide of omnics would never end so easily, otherwise it would not be called a "tide".
Just like the tide.
The tide of omnics would continue to come in waves until the target was completely submerged.
The horror of the tide of omnics is beyond doubt. Not to mention the current resistance army, even in the prosperous era of its peak, it would be difficult to stop the endless omnics!
But...
the thought that flashed through his mind before reappeared.
After experiencing this war, Xu Hongming completely realized a problem: Even if the resistance army had been planning for decades under the name of underground warfare, in the face of absolute strength, relying solely on its own strength, the resistance army still could not fight against the increasingly powerful omnics!
And the friendly forces that suddenly appeared were probably their only hope.
The existence of the other party must have made [Source] feel threatened, otherwise [Source] would not have been able to launch such a fierce offensive again!
The distracting thoughts in Xu Hongming's mind gradually dissipated, and only one thought remained:
"Support!"
Xu Hongming gritted his teeth: "Let's go support the friendly forces!"
Lin Hui was shocked: "The Southern Theater and the headquarters have not issued such an order. When the time comes..."
"I'll take responsibility!"
Xu Hongming's eyes gradually became firm: "You go and send a telegram to the Southern Theater and the headquarters."
...
The electrical signal followed the lines hidden underground and was transmitted to an independent underground city 12,000 kilometers away.
The underground city is huge, even faintly surpassing the Hai'an underground city.
This is a creation of the rebels at their peak.
But compared with other civilian underground cities, this underground city obviously has more advanced science and technology-
high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete stand in the underground city, and heavy trucks are driving on the smooth asphalt roads. A large amount of industrial raw materials are transported by these trucks to the automated factories on the edge of the underground city and processed into various industrial products.
In addition to various basic industrial production lines, there are even corresponding weapons production lines in the underground city.
This is not only the headquarters of the rebels, but also the core production area of the rebels!
A well-behaved, unremarkable building stood quietly in the central area of the underground city.
Undoubtedly, this was the highest command center of the resistance army.
At this moment, the highest command center of the resistance army was not quiet.
"Intelligent wave? Unknown friendly forces?!"
A middle-aged man with half white hair frowned and looked at the man in standard military uniform in front of him: "Is this news from the Southern Theater?"
"Commander, to be precise, it is Hai'an City under the Southern Theater." The man responded in a deep voice.
"Haian... that's an important location." The middle-aged man's face was a little solemn, "I remember that there was intelligence that the number of intelligent machines there has decreased a lot, and the activity has also decreased, right?"
"Yes! The Southern Theater is unwilling to miss this opportunity and has taken the initiative to launch an attack on the intelligent machine production base in the Hai'an area."
The commander raised his eyebrows slightly and did not speak.
"The battle was won, and now the intelligent machine production base in the Hai'an area has been completely destroyed!"
"Good!" The chief smiled slightly on his serious face, "Well done! With Hai'an City in our hands, the resistance army's resource pressure will be reduced a lot."
"Let the Southern Theater send some engineers and resistance army members over. We can't give up Hai'an City, which we have finally acquired, to the intelligent machines!"
"Yes." The young man nodded, "But according to the latest intelligence, this war was successful with the help of a third party, and it was a bitter victory."
The smile on the chief's face gradually faded: "The unknown friendly force mentioned just now?"
"Yes." The man was silent for a moment, and added, "According to the speculation of the commander of the Hai'an area, the unknown force seems to have mastered more advanced technology..."
"That's for sure." The chief interrupted the man's words directly, "Without real skills, how could [Source] launch a wave of intelligent machines?"
"But... in this era, where did they get advanced technology from?" The chief frowned and muttered to himself, "Roca ruins? Aren't those ruins all in the hands of [Source]?"
The chief's eyes moved slightly: "Could it be... new Roca ruins?"
After the voice fell, he turned and walked directly to a paper world map covering the entire wall.
The paper map was tinged with a strong yellow.
The chief did not speak, and quickly found the location of Hai'an City in the southern hemisphere.
He bent his finger and gently tapped a small dot on the map.
After a moment of silence, he turned around abruptly, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Fight!"
"Let the Southern Theater quickly support the Hai'an area!"
"The Eastern and Western Theaters have also entered a state of war!"
"No matter what happened in Hai'an, and no matter what the details of that unknown force are, I have only one request: never let [Source]'s plan succeed!"
"Yes!" The young man straightened his back and shouted in a deep voice.
"Tell the Southern Theater." The leader's eyes flashed, "Take out all your assets!"
"That unknown force must not follow the footsteps of the rebels!"
...
The southern hemisphere of Varela, Hai'an area.
"The obstacle has been cleared."
Along with the roar of the antimatter bomb explosion and the missile explosion overhead, Yi's electronic synthesized voice sounded in the control center of the Hercules bulldozer: "The trajectory of the intelligent machine's movement has changed."
In the holographic projection in front of him, a huge gap appeared in the originally complete intelligent machine encirclement. Not only that, the original perfect circular encirclement was slightly deformed at this time.
The omnics around the gap were changing their trajectory, trying to fill the gap before the Hercules bulldozer broke free from the encirclement.
Chen Fan didn't care about the abnormal behavior of these omnics.
He still had six individual antimatter bombs in his hand. If anything unusual happened...
it would be simple, he would just throw another bomb.
"One, just break out of the encirclement!"
"Got it."
The moment the electronic synthesized voice sounded, the roar of the Hercules bulldozer below him became louder again.
Looking at the encirclement gap getting closer and closer and the tide of omnics that had not yet completed the trap, Chen Fan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Just escape the encirclement.
This account will be settled with [Source] one by one when his starship arrives!
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the familiar alarm sounded again, and a yellow alarm sign flashed in the holographic projection in front of him.
"Warning." "
A large-scale omnic tide was discovered 100 kilometers ahead!"
Looking at the semi-arc encirclement that quickly showed the full picture on the holographic map, Chen Fan was stunned.
What, this thing has a second wave? !
Are you playing Plants vs. Zombies here?
"Not just the second wave." Yi interrupted Chen Fan's thoughts, "According to the images sent back by the detection drone, the third wave of intelligent machines has begun to take shape, and the current distance is 500 kilometers."
"This machine has just performed a simple deduction."
"In theory, based on the computing power previously demonstrated by [Source], as long as there are sufficient resources, it can create a continuous wave of intelligent machines in our area."
Chen Fan's heart sank.
The power of antimatter bombs is indeed terrifying, but the antimatter bombs in his hand are limited after all.
If this goes on, he will be surrounded by endless layers of intelligent machines sooner or later!
"Damn..."
He cursed in a low voice.
"Warning! The detection drone of Varela City has sent an early warning message!"
Before the voice fell, another new early warning message popped up on the holographic projection: "Signs of intelligent machines gathering within 50 kilometers outside Varela City."
The aerial pictures from the drone then emerged-a number of intelligent combat robots of different shapes came from all directions and quietly surrounded Varela City!
Looking at the picture in front of him, Chen Fan's face changed completely.
"Damn it!"
"Why would the Omnics attack Varela City?!"
In a flash, he quickly realized the reason:
during the brief confrontation at the Hai'an Deep Space Observatory, [Source] discovered Isa's identity!
