The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 399: Super Thunder Beast! Hundred-meter-class Hunter Mech! Phase Crusher Cannon!

War is about to break out!
Since only Zerglings can directly climb the taller city walls, other bugs cannot get up for a while, so the AI ​​turret array of the Universal Corporation can still shoot from a high position.

Soon, a large number of springtails were blown off their limbs by the hail of bullets, hard light rays cut the insects in half, the gravity field gathered the insects together, and then they were blasted into debris by artillery fire.

But this advantage did not last long. With the arrival of the Thunder Beast, the Zerg's fierce offensive resumed.

The huge thunder beast, like a living siege vehicle, charged straight towards the protective wall.

Every step it takes will stir up a large amount of dust on the ground, causing violent tremors and leaving huge footprints along the way.

Those Zerglings that don't have time to dodge will eventually become the dead souls under the feet of the Thunder Beast. Soon, the Thunder Beast, with its monomolecular giant blade, slammed into the city wall.

At this moment, the splattered rubble scattered all over the ground, and a big hole was immediately knocked out in the nearly ten-meter-thick city wall. The thunder beast also went straight through the gap and continued to rush inside.

The shock caused by the collision quickly spread throughout the entire city wall area. Fortunately, this thick protective wall was still strong and was not knocked down in one go.

AI turret arrays deployed on protective walls can still function normally.

However, after the thunder beast created such a gap, the surging tide of insects suddenly rushed into the depths of the base like a dam bursting.

Combined with the Zerg troops transported by the tunnel worms, the Zerg attack seems unstoppable.

At this moment, there was more than one wall that was knocked open. The rest of the thunder beasts were also desperately using their monomolecular giant blades to dig out a tunnel.

More and more Zergs rushed into the core area. Fortunately, the AI ​​turrets on the city walls were still able to function, so the situation did not get out of control immediately.

However, the huge thunder beasts were already rampaging around the edge of the core area of ​​the front-line base, leaving no grass growing wherever they went, and the thick city walls were completely unable to stop their charge.

Even with fortifications and traps deployed, they were ineffective against these thick-skinned thunder beasts.

For terrifying behemoths like these, there is no need to worry about complex terrain restrictions. They just charge forward recklessly, and any building will simply collapse under their impact.

If the Thunder Beasts continue to be allowed to wreak havoc, it won't be long before this Zerg army rushes to the area where the Keystone is charged.

Seeing this group of thunder beasts rushing into the core area of ​​the base, David Martinez's eyes flashed with a chill, and he immediately gave an order: "It's time to take action!"

[Yes.] A response came from the communication device.

The huge thunder beasts were rampaging in the city. The bunkers and turrets were only the size of their feet. They turned into scrap metal in an instant with one step. These giant beasts could do nothing to them.

The thunder beast that appeared at the front-line base was obviously larger than the one Paul had encountered during his previous mission to rescue survivors.

In addition to being taller and stronger, they are also covered in a layer of reinforced bone plate armor, which makes them more difficult to kill with guns.

After all, this troop of thunder beasts is the elite trump card drawn by the Queen of Blade from the main nest of the Zerg, and is of course different from ordinary thunder beasts.

To put it in the game terminology of "StarCraft", it is a Ultralisk unit with three attacks and three defenses strengthened by bone plates. There is naturally a huge difference between this and a blank Ultralisk that has not undergone any upgrades.

The six-piece set of thunder beasts have strengthened their armored shells to the extreme. They can easily withstand the fusion attack of the Terran Federation.

It can even take a Yamato cannon shot from a battlecruiser. As the undisputed king of the Zerg on land, the defensive capabilities of this group of thunder beasts exceed those of any armored tank.

Even an ordinary hard light turret would not be able to kill it within a short period of time.

At this time, a Chimaera chariot fired a cannon and hit a thunder beast. The shock wave generated by the explosion instantly formed a large pit on the ground.

The sweeping air waves and dust were mixed with countless shattered springtails, and then the huge body of the Thunder Beast rushed out of the dust and continued to destroy the surrounding turret facilities.

Even though it was hit by the Chimera tank's main gun, only a piece of the Thunder Beast's skull was broken off.

The damaged parts of the body are protected by multiple bone plate structures, so this injury is not worth mentioning at all.

As for the shock wave generated by the explosion, it was absorbed by the Thunder Beast's strengthened muscle fibers and did not cause any serious internal injuries to it.

Even if they are really injured, the spare organs in the thunder beast's body can replace the damaged organs, which allows them to still jump around alive after being hit by a cannon.

Just as the thunder beast was charging forward with unstoppable force, ready to crush the Chimera chariot in front of it, a huge figure fell from the sky.

The mechanical body, like a heavy artillery impact, suddenly fell on the head of the thunder beast, smashing the thunder beast into the pit on the ground.

The visitor is none other than the hunter mecha from the 002 "Pacific Rim" universe - the Dangerous Wanderer!

This is an ultra-heavy mecha that reaches a scale of 100 meters, equivalent to the height of two ordinary Ultramen.

The strengthened Thunder Beast is only a little over 50 meters in size. Compared with the Dangerous Wanderer, the Thunder Beast is as small as a kitten.

The dangerous wanderer punched the thunder beast one after another, and every punch caused the thunder beast to sink one or two meters into the ground.

The part that had already been broken by the Chimera chariot was further dented inward. No matter how hard the bone plate armor was, it could not withstand such a beating.

Half a century ago, the 100-meter-long Hunter Mech was considered an impossible weapon unit within the world's giant companies.

However, with the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of technology, the cost of this seemingly fantastic combat weapon has been "brought down" by giant companies!

After being transformed by the research and development department of a global giant enterprise, this 100-meter-class hunter mecha can be as flexible and powerful as a Transformer.

In addition, these Hunter mechas are also equipped with Protoss technology, namely the Immortal's Phase Disruptor Cannon. The caliber of these disruptor cannons has been doubled, and their power is even greater than before.

The phase-disruption cannon fires antimatter wrapped in pure energy. The enormous energy generated by this annihilation can penetrate and destroy any armor plate almost instantly.

This has always been the main weapon used by the Protoss against the Ultralisk.

The only drawback of this weapon is that during the launching process, the energy of the contained antimatter will dissipate and be lost as the distance increases.

This results in the Phase Disruptor's range being quite limited. To maximize its power, it's best to fire at close range.

In addition, the recoil of the fragmentation cannon is extremely large, and it cannot be supported without a certain amount of weight. For an antimatter cannon with such obvious advantages and disadvantages, only a 100-meter-class hunter mecha is most suitable for using it.

At this moment, Storm Crimson, Tango Wolf, Cherno Alpha, Danger Wanderer, Eureka Raider, Sabre Athena, Phoenix Guerrilla and Revenge Wanderer appeared one by one!

They strode in front of the Thunder Beast, facing its head at close range, and fired their super-heavy phase-disruption cannons.

In an instant, the antimatter engine emitted a blood-boiling roar, and this combat weapon, which was a gathering of industrial miracles, displayed its domineering and majestic side.

"How could you have mastered the Protoss's weapon technology so quickly? This, this is simply unbelievable!"

Jim Raynor, who was standing by, was stunned when he saw this. He had thought about using the Protoss' weapons and equipment to fight the Zerg.

It's a pity that this is simply impossible. Not to mention the Rangers, a group of vagrant soldiers with no industrial system or technological foundation, even the most outstanding academy of sciences in the Terran Federation cannot do this.

But when it came to the Universal Corporation, it took only three months for the technological weapons learned from the Tal'darim Protoss to be applied to its own troops!

This ability to get something for free is simply used to perfection.

"We won't just sit there and wait for death. The scientific system of psychic energy is a key development project of the giant company, and we have only achieved some results so far."

Paul responded to Renault calmly.

In terms of reverse engineering technology, the Universe Corporation has gathered a large group of outstanding scientists, including those from the Covenant, the Enemies of Cybertron, and other civilizations.

Each Hunter mech is assigned a psyker within it, who is specially trained in the use of phase disruptor cannons.

After mastering the basic psychic theory and developing psychic power with the help of terazine, using this kind of psychic weapon is no longer impossible.

The power of the Phase Disruptor Cannon, in particular, depends primarily on the annihilation of antimatter, but it just requires psychic energy to launch it.

This is easier to control than weapons that rely purely on psychic energy to exert their power.

Sure enough, when the Thunder Beasts saw that these Hunter Mechs were equipped with Phase Disruptor Cannons, they began to struggle desperately, trying to destroy them before the Disruptor Cannons were fired.

However, the Hunter mechas relied on their own size and weight advantages to hold the Thunder Beast tightly throughout the entire process. In the face of the absolute crushing power, any resistance seemed so pale and powerless.

The Revenge Wanderer piloted by Tang Weilong directly faced the charge of the Thunder Beast, then put the muzzle of the gun against the Thunder Beast's head and fired with a bang, hitting the target.

When the fragmentation cannon hit the thunder beast, the energy wrapped in the antimatter cannon dissipated instantly, followed by the annihilation of matter and antimatter, and the heavy armored shell of the thunder beast suddenly disappeared.

This is the horrific annihilation effect of antimatter!
No matter how strong the armor is, it cannot withstand the effects of the laws of physics.

After the armored shell of the Thunder Beast was annihilated, the huge energy generated by the antimatter cannon was also released, and the violent explosion blew the Thunder Beast to pieces.

No matter how many spare organs there are, they cannot save a shattered body in an instant.

A bloody rain with an extremely foul odor fell from the sky. Countless internal organs fell to the ground with a clatter, polluting a large number of blocks.

The Vengeance Wanderer shook off the blood on his body, raised his Phase Crusher Cannon to prepare for the next Thunder Beast, and activated other devices on his body, firing freely at the Zerg on the ground.

The appearance of the Hunter Mech brought this troop of Thunder Beasts to a devastating disaster. They were completely unable to shake these steel behemoths that were raised and fed by the industrial system!
After the Thunder Beast responsible for the charge was killed, the Zerg's advance speed suddenly slowed down.

Even the Ultralisk's top-level armor defense cannot withstand the Hunter Mech's phase-shattering cannon, let alone other Zerg combat units.

The hunter mechas standing in various areas of the core of the base are like mountain gods, able to defeat a thousand enemies with one man guarding the pass.

The strength of the Hydralisk's spines is like a small bamboo stick in front of this super giant mecha, and it is completely helpless against the Hunter mecha.

The acidic venom of cockroaches does have a certain corrosive effect, but unfortunately these insects are too fragile and can be killed with just one round of long-range cannon fire.

Thanks to the high-speed response of the AI ​​turret array, Zerg units with corrosive venom, such as cockroaches and banelings, will be prioritized as killing targets.

With AI recognition and calibration, cockroaches and banelings can be killed instantly as soon as they show their heads.

At the same time, with the assistance of the drill beast, the Zerg troops on the ground would be dragged underground from time to time and strangled into debris by the drill beast's serrated blade.

As the battle entered a white-hot stage, the Zerg's attack actually showed signs of decline.

But the Queen of Blades obviously could not accept the slowdown in the Zerg's offensive rhythm. She once again summoned more Zerg airdrop bags and continued to dispatch a large number of new thunder beasts, cockroaches, and dragons to arrive here.

From the beginning to now, the number of Zerg combat units killed has probably exceeded three hundred trillion, including in outer space battlefields, front-line base battlefields, and other orbital war zones.

There are mountains of Zerg corpses and seas of blood everywhere!
For the Zerg, the sunk costs they have paid are already extremely high, and they must seize the key stone at all costs.

Here, in order to cope with the new round of Zerg attacks, the missile silos of various departments of the giant enterprises once again launched metal hydrogen bombs. As soon as the thunder beasts and cockroaches in the air fell, most of them were intercepted by the hydrogen bombs.

Countless dazzling mushroom clouds bloomed in the sky, the light from the hydrogen bomb explosion seemed to tear the sky apart, and a huge shock wave swept across the ground.

Looking from afar, it looks like Tathagata's palm is hitting the earth, and the shock wave it creates is the strong industrial strength of the giant enterprise.

In order to ensure effective strikes against alien insects including the Thunder Beasts, the giant company launched a second round of carpet bombing immediately after the first round of hydrogen bomb explosions.

After several rounds of fierce bombardment, a large number of alien insects such as thunder beasts and flying dragons that had not yet escaped from the airdrop capsule were all reduced to ashes.

At this moment, the engineer who was in charge of the operation and evacuated from other blocks has returned to the front-line base headquarters.

Paul nodded to these people and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

If these people had not risked their lives to debug the AI ​​turret array on the front line and guard the base's defense system, the plan to stop the Zerg would not have gone so smoothly.

However, the Zerg will soon make a comeback, and now is not the time to relax. They have to actively repair some defense facilities and retake some positions.

However, just when the executives of various departments of the global giant company thought that the Zerg would temporarily stop, the unexpected situation still occurred!
