Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 285 Cyber ​​Monster?

The battle at the base is almost over.

But the fighting on the entire battlefield is far from over.

Yu Qian followed closely behind Chen Jian, holding the 191 rifle that Chen Jian had just given him and firing at everything he could see. Chen Jian, on the other hand, was clearing the battlefield and regrouping the scattered reserve soldiers.

"Everyone, assemble around me!"

"The mandrills have been eliminated; now only ordinary small monsters are coming!"

"Rebuild the defenses!"

"Yellow croaker! Where's the yellow croaker?!"

"Captain! I'm here!"

Huang Yu limped over, dragging his injured leg. Chen Jian frowned slightly and asked:
"How's the injury?"

"It's just a sprain, nothing serious!"

Huang Yu's expression was somewhat distorted; clearly, his injuries were not as simple as he had claimed.

Before this, Chen Jian had personally witnessed him rushing towards the mandrill with only a rifle in his hand. He was lucky that he didn't collide head-on, but was just flung away by the mandrill with a casual wave of its hand.

Otherwise, if Chen Jian called him now, he would probably at least be lying on the ground responding.

"You stay at the base and organize ammunition resupply and transportation."

"The supply rate at the front is being depleted faster than expected. I need to activate the buffer supply point and send ammunition there!"

"understand!"

Huang Yu didn't try to be brave; he knew that this was the best arrangement for him under the current circumstances.

"Fuxi, open the main passage gate, prepare supplies and weapons, and load them onto the trucks to depart in 5 minutes!"

"receive."

Fuxi's voice came through the earpiece. Chen Jian looked at the battle map scrolling on the smart eyepiece in front of him and continued to give orders:
"Huang Meng, detour to the southeast!"

"There are four giant monsters moving at high speed over there. The buffer zone might not be able to hold them off. Let's go help them!"

"understand!"

Huang Meng's hoarse voice came through the earpiece, and immediately the tanks on the battle map changed direction.

Under the rapid-fire bombardment of more than a dozen cannons, nearly half of the dozens of large monsters attacking from the front had been eliminated. Most of them did not even have time to get close to the first layer of defense before they were hit, penetrated, and then blown into pieces by the cascading artillery fire.

However, some monsters managed to get close, but at that moment, the pre-deployed tanks and bombers dealt them a heavy blow.

Compared to the small monsters that swarmed like locusts, the attacks of these large monsters seemed rather weak.

They were too few in number, while the number of shells was too many.

Once inside the dead end line drawn by Chen Jian, no matter how fast they moved, they couldn't outrun the dense artillery fire that left almost no blind spots.

Chen Jian waited silently for a moment, and after confirming that the defensive line had not been breached after the tanks were moved, he immediately issued a new order.

"All reserve team members, follow me to prepare the airport."

"Lei Jie, Jiang Yu, prepare for landing!"

"Received. Expected landing in 5 minutes. Do you agree?"

"Landing in 5 minutes!"

Chen Jian confirmed the information again, and then immediately led the reserve team to the airport.

At this moment, the airport runway was littered with the corpses of monsters, all swept down by the fixed weapon station.

In terms of density, the number of monsters at the airport is far higher than in other areas.

This means that these small monsters are indeed being controlled by some force and are launching targeted attacks on the 011 base.

Upon closer examination, the beast tide's attack tactics are indeed quite comprehensive and "professional."

On the main battlefield, large numbers of "armored groups" deplete the enemy's heavy firepower. Small, highly mobile units, with their numerical advantage, break through the defenses and tear apart the defensive zone while suffering some casualties. Then, powerful units led by the "Mandrill" penetrate the core to carry out decapitation strikes. The Mandrill also leads some conventional combat units that have successfully broken through to carry out sabotage missions in the enemy's rear.

If they were controlling the beast tide themselves, they would most likely produce almost the exact same result. Therefore, tonight it can be said that the beast tide is being controlled by a mastermind.

The next step is to find the mastermind and raid their house.

Chen Jian took a deep breath and directed the group to move the bodies and quickly repair the larger craters caused by the bullets.

A few minutes later, the airport runway was basically repaired. Chen Jian sent a signal into the air, and Lei Jie piloted the bomber to land gracefully.

Immediately afterwards, the river fish landed smoothly.

"Change the battery, install the bomb—no, install the nuclear warhead!"

Lei Jie, panting heavily, said:

"I flew around once and saw that there were reserve teams behind me."

"The number of monsters is more than we expected. There are hundreds of large monsters, and we can't see any small monsters, but there are definitely more than just a few thousand."

"Xuancheng has been completely swallowed up; the entire city has been destroyed."

“The situation in the surrounding cities isn’t much better—you need to inform He Shuo and tell him to prepare for the worst.”

"The Han River is also an important point. A large number of monsters will pass through there. If all else fails, we should take the people there and evacuate."

"If we hide in the mountains, we should be able to survive. Most of the civilians in Xuancheng have evacuated to the mountains, and I estimate that about half of them will survive."

"clear."

While directing everyone to move the bombs and batteries, Chen Jian continued to ask:
"How's the situation at the front?"

"We can hold on; the defense is solid and won't fall for the time being."

Lei Jie took a sip of the water Jiang Yu handed him, spat, and said:
"However, these monsters are clearly trying to wage a war of attrition against us; they have calculated that our ammunition supply is limited."

"They might know we have nuclear weapons as a trump card, which is why they didn't choose to commit all their forces at once."

"Very cunning, extremely cunning."

"We need to find a way to fight a decisive battle and destroy their command center."

"Or at least, we should detonate a few nuclear bombs and try to destroy their control systems."

"Understood, will follow your advice."

Chen Jian nodded solemnly, while Lei Jie continued to ask:
"How's the situation at the base? What about that mandrill? Is it dead? What happened to it?"

A series of questions left Chen Jian momentarily speechless. After a pause, he finally spoke:
"Dead. Not an ordinary monster."

"Now I finally understand why Zeng Yi said it could kill thousands of people overnight—it was artificially enhanced."

"It is covered with a man-made flexible electrochromic armor that almost completely blocks infrared radiation and also has a wave-absorbing coating, making it almost impossible for our intelligent fire control system to detect it."

"Moreover, this thing might even be connected to a brain-computer interface inside its body."

"What I mean is, not the ordinary brain-computer interface, but a mature brain-computer interface that has both input and output capabilities."

"This is a genuine cyborg, cyberpunk-style monster."

"Damn, that's an exaggeration?"

Lei Jie was dumbfounded.

"It's that exaggerated."

Chen Jian let out a heavy breath, then said:
"Our enemy is much stronger than we expected; they haven't even used their full strength yet."

"The good news is that, purely in terms of killing ability, we are not much worse than them."

"No matter how strong that mandrill is, it can't be stronger than a furnace of molten iron."

"If the other side can pull out something like a mandrill, we'll have to use thermite to teach them a lesson."

"Alright, let's take off."

"Bomb wherever they need to, and give them something real!"
