Chapter 174 Annihilation of the Search Air Force

The night passed quickly. The Lingnan base was harassed by flying dragons in the first half of the night, but finally got some rest time in the second half of the night. They rested for several hours in the wild mountains and recovered some of the energy consumed during the day.

At 5:30 the next day, the sky just brightened, and the tents in the Lingnan base were boiling. The soldiers ate the biscuits and food, packed up the tents and weapons, and set off towards the road.

Instead of taking the damaged road, they turned around and walked back. The scouts spread from the road to the wild, and the helicopters also flew more than ten kilometers to find a relatively flat terrain with fewer trees, which could bypass the damaged winding mountain road and come to the intact road behind the winding mountain road.

The search of the Lingnan base was not harassed by flying dragons, which made the soldiers who had been worried all the time breathe a sigh of relief, speed up the spread to the surrounding terrain, and draw a simple sketch.

However, the absence of Wang Jin's flying dragon harassment does not mean that the soldiers are safe. There are many mutant beasts in the forest. Although the scouts are agile, they are still too weak for the mutant beasts who call the forest home.

From time to time, soldiers would scream when they encountered mutant beasts. When other soldiers rushed over, what was left was mostly a blood-stained rifle or a skeleton left by the flesh and blood being eaten dry.

The horror of the forest was revealed to the soldiers for the first time. When the soldiers lost the support of heavy weapons and the teamwork, the mutant beasts that had been slaughtered began to become ferocious.

The identities of hunters and prey on both sides began to change. The quiet and dense forest became a place of death, constantly devouring one living life after another. Short gunshots and screams became the only witnesses of their survival in the world.

Even mutants searching in the forest may die if their numbers are too small.

Compared with mutants of the same level, mutant beasts are still stronger, because mutant beasts are strong and powerful, and they live in the dangerous mountains every day, which has trained them to kill skills. With their innate strong bodies, it is difficult for human mutants to defeat them, especially in the familiar environment of the forest.

Although humans are intelligent, they rely more on strength in a life-and-death struggle, and wisdom accounts for a small proportion. Therefore, the mutants in Lingnan Base have also suffered losses one after another, which has made the whole army panic. The feeling of being besieged has become worse, and their fighting spirit has been destroyed bit by bit.

There are too many people in Lingnan Base. The smell of humans has drifted far away, attracting a large number of carnivorous mutant beasts to wander around. If Chen Jie and his men have been driving on the road and have not entered the forest, the mutant beasts will not dare to move.

Now the soldiers have begun to enter the forest, or enter separately. The consequences can be imagined. The mutant beasts will not let go of the feast that is delivered to their mouths.

Wang Jin, who was observing from a high altitude, sneered in his heart. He let the actions of Lingnan Base go, allowing them to find a way out at the risk of being slaughtered by mutant beasts.

This is exactly what he wants. Wang Jin has no time to delay. Although Wang Jin has an idea, if he can keep them here and wait for them to collapse, he can annihilate them without any effort.

But although the idea was good, it was too late. Just this morning, the base of Lingnan Base had found that things were out of control. The fighter planes that had set out did not return, and Chen Jie's communication unit had not appeared for a long time. Even a fool knew that something was wrong.

Liu Jun of Lingnan Base was certainly not stupid. There were few fools who could sit in this position. After finding that something was wrong, he sent five fighter planes and twenty helicopters to find Chen Jie's troops. Wang Jin's Feilong was going to intercept this air force, so he did not continue to harass Chen Jie and his men.

At this moment, on the outskirts of the mountain range, five fighter planes spread out and searched deep around the mountain road, while twenty helicopters flew at low altitude and carefully searched for traces of Chen Jie's troops in another direction.

"J-103, no abnormal situation at 5 o'clock, repeat, no abnormal situation at 5 o'clock, and currently heading to 7 o'clock."

A voice came from the communication channel of the fighter plane, and a fighter plane changed direction and flew deeper into the mountain range.

"Received, received! J-101 is ascending, currently at an altitude of 8,500 meters, 9,000, 9,500, 10,000. Ah, what is this? An abnormal situation has been discovered. A group of large mutant beasts have appeared in front of the left, 2,974 meters away, and are rapidly approaching. Please be prepared, please prepare for bombing!"

The faces of the pilots of the other fighters changed. When they heard the explosion in the communication channel and saw the red flash in the clouds in front, accompanied by the falling of steel wreckage, they didn't know what the pilots had encountered.

"Prepare for battle!" The captain of the five fighters checked the radar display, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, and hurriedly said: "The order is canceled, return to the base at full speed, there are too many enemy mutant beasts, we can't deal with them."

The other three pilots who had already prepared for the battle were stunned. The captain, who had always been brave, actually ordered them to retreat. However, when they saw the display on the radar, they immediately understood the captain's order to retreat, and turned the fuselage around without saying a word to escape.

However, they were still a step slow. When they turned around, a large number of bat-like mutant beasts emerged from the clouds, emitting terrifying roars and flapping their broad wings to rush towards them.

"J-103 requesting support, requesting support!" A fighter plane fell behind due to the previous reconnaissance. As the flying dragon chased it, the distance was getting closer and closer, and it anxiously asked for help from its companions.

"Launch missile interference!" The three fighter planes in front were very loyal and delayed launching missiles at the flying dragon in an attempt to buy time for their companions.

To the surprise of the pilots, just when they thought that the missiles could shoot down a few mutant beasts, these mutant beasts lifted their tails and dozens of half-moon blade insects were shot out at an astonishing speed of several times the sound. Not only did they blow up the missiles they launched, but even the fighter plane of their companions was destroyed, which was split into a ball of fire and fell by countless blade insects.

"Run!" The pilots who saw this scene felt their bladder tighten. Knowing the power of these mutant beasts, they dared not delay any longer and flew out of the mountains at a very fast speed.

They had just entered the mountains not deep, and were less than 50 kilometers away from the old nest of the Lingnan base. With the high speed of the fighter planes, they could return in a few minutes and report the situation to the army commander.

But something happened that made them despair. In front of them, dozens of mutant beasts flew down from the clouds and surrounded them.

"These mutant beasts are intelligent. They have been lying in ambush for us to enter the net!" The captain of the fighter planes thought of this. Seeing that there was no way to retreat, a trace of ferocity appeared on his face, and he shouted: "Brothers, let's fight them and kill our way out."

"Kill!" Several crazy roars came from the communication channel. The fighter planes rushed towards the flying dragon group, missiles were launched, aircraft cannons fired bullets, and fighter engines were roaring.

A few minutes later, several fireballs exploded in the sky, and a large amount of wreckage fell into the forest. The huge movement attracted many mutant beasts. When they found that it was just a pile of discarded steel, they howled unwillingly and dispersed.

The same scene happened 20 kilometers away. There were also dozens of flying mutant beasts, but the crashed objects were not fighter planes, but as many as 20 helicopters.

At this point, the reconnaissance air force sent by the old nest of Lingnan Base was completely destroyed, and Chen Jie and his team fell into a state of isolation and helplessness again.
