The giant rat was enraged to see its offspring slaughtered.
It let out a deafening roar and suddenly accelerated towards the crane, accidentally trampling many of the mutated rats along the way.
It is extremely fast, and despite its huge size, it is incredibly agile.
"Balloons ready! Fire!" Wu Ming ordered decisively.
Three ballistae fired simultaneously, the bolts, each over ten meters long, whistling through the air like three white lightning bolts shooting towards the giant rat.
The three crossbow bolts were fired at the giant rat from three different directions.
The barbs on the crossbow bolts gleamed coldly, and thick steel cables were attached to their tails.
The giant rat reacted extremely quickly, suddenly turning to the side to avoid the crossbow bolt aimed at its heart.
However, the other two crossbow bolts struck its left shoulder and right thigh respectively.
The sharp arrow pierced its fur and penetrated deep into its body.
The giant rat let out a painful roar as it tried to break free of the crossbow bolt.
The crossbow bolt pierced very deeply!
Of the fifteen-meter-long crossbow bolt, less than two meters of its length were visible.
Moreover, the barbs on it were deeply embedded in its muscles, and every struggle brought intense pain.
Countless drops of blood seeped from the wound, staining its body red and slowly turning the ground red as well.
At the same time, two heavy cranes started up simultaneously, and the steel cables were slowly tightened, firmly fixing the giant rat's body in place and restricting its range of movement.
Meanwhile, the giant ballista was already preparing to load its second bolt.
Seeing their leader being restrained, the ordinary mutant rats became even more frenzied.
Especially the mutated rats near the giant rat, they rushed towards the giant rat desperately, trying to rescue it.
Wu Ming issued a new order: "Heavy machine gun units, increase firepower! Don't let them get close to the giant rats!"
The next second, the heavy machine guns and cannons mounted on tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored vehicles all opened fire.
A dense barrage of large-caliber bullets rained down like a storm.
Now, these mutated rats are in deep trouble.
A 20mm machine gun is enough to kill them instantly.
The 35mm caliber autocannon is even more terrifying.
If you get hit, you'll be blown to bits!
More and more mutated rats died, and the ground was completely stained red with blood.
The mutated giant rat, suspected to be a level three, was utterly terrified and no longer coveted the corpses of the T4 and M4.
Instead, he turned around and tried to run away.
But those two giant crossbow bolts were connected to two heavy cranes on this side.
This directly prevented it from escaping.
The giant rat was still struggling frantically, its strength was astonishing, and the steel cables of the heavy crane were pulled taut, making a "buzzing" sound.
Just as the stalemate was at hand, three more crossbow bolts came flying in.
This time, all three crossbow bolts pierced its body.
One of them even pierced it straight through from the side!
The giant rat let out a shrill scream, its body convulsing violently, and its struggles weakened considerably.
Perhaps a vital organ was injured.
Perhaps the injury was too severe.
This time, the heavy-duty cranes that were prepared have not yet started operating.
The mutated giant rat trembled violently a few times before collapsing to the ground, motionless.
Immediately, everyone, from high-ranking commanders like Wu Ming to staff members and ordinary soldiers, erupted in jubilation!
That giant ballista is incredibly powerful!
Two rounds of fire were enough to completely incapacitate such a massive beast.
Even kill it!
In the future, we will have powerful weapons to deal with these behemoths!
No more risking our lives by having the evolved beings carry steel cables up there!
When the ordinary mutant rats saw their leader fall, they immediately fell into chaos, and some of them began to scatter and flee.
The other part continued its frenzied charge towards the human forces.
Regardless of the method chosen, under such heavy weapon attacks...
They face only death.
Soon, all the mutated rats that rushed out were shot dead.
At the same time, the zombies in the county town heard the commotion and smelled the overwhelming scent of blood.
They surged in from every corner of the county town.
Faced with this horde of zombies that weren't even level two, and faced with tens of thousands of ordinary zombies.
The soldiers of the First Army, who did not have heavy machine guns, showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they were filled with excitement.
Finally, it's their turn to crush the noobs!
They had been itching to get their hands on the machine guns that had been slaughtering the mutated rats for a while!
As more and more zombies arrived at the scene, their howls merged together, creating a truly eerie atmosphere.
"Attention all personnel! Free fire! All heavy firepower, cease fire." With the new order issued, a dense barrage of gunfire instantly resounded throughout the land.
The rat-a-tat-tat of automatic rifles and the rat-rat-rat of light machine guns mingled together.
Bullets rained down on the horde of zombies.
The zombies at the forefront fell instantly, their heads pierced with precise bullets.
Lin Lu stood beside the command vehicle, stunned.
With her eyesight, she could clearly see that almost all the zombies she saw that had fallen had been shot in the head!
Some zombies were hit in the head multiple times in an instant!
That's over two hundred meters apart!
And they were all carrying automatic rifles!
These soldiers are all such good marksmen!
Dozens or hundreds are fine.
There are thousands of soldiers here!
Is this the kind of marksmanship they all use?
That's terrifying!
She couldn't help but look at the mutated giant rat, which was as tall as a small mountain.
From the moment she appeared until her death, only a little over two minutes had passed.
