Chapter 179 Cockroach's Recovery
The killing continued. The riverbed, which was tens of meters wide, became a deadly zone. Rows of spikes shot out from the ground, piercing the soldiers' bodies. After taking the lives of soldiers one by one, they drilled back into the ground and continued to pierce when they shot out again. This was repeated over and over again. Water began to flow in the dry riverbed. It was the blood of the soldiers.
Wang Jin deployed a full hundred stalkers here. Each of these spider creatures had dozens of spikes. A hundred of them had thousands of deadly spikes. The damage caused in this instant was very terrifying.
The soldiers were pierced, and the armored vehicles were no exception. They were pierced by sharp spikes. Those troop carriers were the favorites of the stalkers. Destroying them could kill dozens of soldiers in an instant.
Under the attack of the stalkers, the soldiers screamed and ran around, but the range of the stalkers reached an astonishing 500 meters. Wang Jin also dispersed the stalkers, resulting in dense spikes waiting for them no matter which direction the soldiers ran.
Puff!
The sound of spikes piercing human bodies continued to sound in the riverbed. The ground was already a river of blood, and dead bodies pierced through the body could be seen everywhere.
In just a few minutes, at least thousands of soldiers died, and it also caused chaos in the large army of Lingnan Base.
"The enemy is hiding deep underground!"
In the center of the army, a mutant with mutated eyes pointed to the ground and shouted. He could actually see the stalkers hiding deep underground.
Xu Chengjun, who was near him, heard it and looked in the direction pointed by the mutant with mutated eyes. The ground was normal, but when he controlled the gravity to squeeze downwards, he really touched a creature.
"Die!"
Xu Chengjun clenched his palms, and gravity exploded. The lurkers underground could not withstand this terrifying gravity and were squeezed into a meat pie. It can be clearly seen that the ground above the stalkers collapsed slightly, forming a pit with a radius of 20 meters.
"Order the soldiers to leave this area. Mutants should do their best to kill the mutant beasts underground. We can't let them continue to kill like this."
Chen Jie was furious when he saw a large number of soldiers die, and he quickly ordered the soldiers to evacuate.
A large number of mutants began to move out. After relying on mutants to determine their positions, mutants that could attack the ground took action and killed the stalkers who were hiding underground and unable to escape.
Stalkers also have their flaws. Although they can cause amazing damage to light armored troops, their low defense and the disadvantage of not being able to escape underground also make them very easy to be targeted.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of the bombing was so intense that the heavy artillery behind the troops' positions roared, and in the fire of the shells, shells were fired rapidly.
The soil on the ground where the stalkers were densely covered rolled, and deep pits appeared one after another. In the subsequent shells, the deep pits became larger and deeper.
The soil was blown up countless times. Under the carpet bombing of the artillery group, a large area sank, and most of the stalkers hiding in it were blown to pieces.
With the cover of mutants and artillery, the soldiers began to leave the riverbed full of stalkers one after another, but before the soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief, new situations appeared in the forest near the riverbed.
Roar!
Hundreds of ten-meter-long cockroaches drilled out of the ground, shaking their hideous heads, opening their bloody mouths, and launched an attack on the Lingnan base position.
Green mucus shot out one after another, and the soldiers who ran into the forest to avoid the stalkers were in trouble. The soldiers who were shot by the green mucus were all covered with green smoke, and even their bones and guns turned into pus.
Swish!
The mucus hit a tank, and the tank's super defense could not withstand it. The fine steel melted and was penetrated by the strong corrosiveness of the mucus, revealing a one-meter-sized transparent hole. The parts and equipment inside were damaged, the barrel melted half, and the driver was basically dead, instantly destroying the tank.
The cockroach's range reached three kilometers, and all the troops in the Lingnan base were within the cockroach's range, so the cockroach's attack not only hit the outer troops, but also the artillery positions inside. Dozens of artillery were destroyed, and hundreds of artillery turned into pus.
"What are you, destroy them for me!" Liu Lang was the commander of the armored forces. Seeing the horrible attack of the cockroach, his eyelids twitched, and he screamed and shouted for the tank to fight back.
Bang! The heavy body of the tank shook, and the long barrel burst into flames. The armor-piercing bullets slid out of the barrel and shot straight at the cockroach.
Hundreds of tanks fired one after another, and the fire flashed by the riverbed. The soldiers were shaken and their steps were unstable, as if they were about to be blown into pieces by this steel monster.
The armor-piercing bullet fired at a very fast speed, hitting the cockroach in the blink of an eye. The shell of the place hit by the armor-piercing bullet burst, and a big pit appeared, revealing the bright red muscles and white bones inside.
Liu Lang's face was happy, and he was about to laugh out loud, but the next scene shocked his eyes.
The seriously injured cockroach did not fall down. After shaking its huge body a few times, it was able to continue to attack the troops.
The wounds at the place hit by the armor-piercing bullet recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. It recovered as before in just half a minute, and there was no sign of injury at all.
This is the most powerful part of the cockroach, the recovery ability. Although the cockroach does not have the amazing defense of the thunder beast, the abnormal recovery ability also greatly increases their survival rate. Except for the headshot, the fatal injuries of the cockroach in other parts can be healed quickly, which is worthy of the name of the cockroach.
After the tanks launched the attack, other armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles also opened fire one after another. The heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles fired wildly, all at the cockroaches.
However, even the tanks could not kill the cockroaches, let alone these small shells. They could only barely break the defense when shot at the cockroaches, making a small wound, and the cockroaches recovered in a few seconds.
The speed of firing shells to destroy was not as fast as the recovery of the cockroaches. These armored vehicle gunners almost found a crack in the ground to crawl into. This is not a good way to play!
The machine gunners stopped shooting. The bullets hit the cockroaches like tickling, and they couldn't even penetrate the shells, let alone kill the cockroaches.
Faced with the monster that can't be killed, the artillery group of Lingnan Base couldn't help it. Hundreds of artillery fired in unison, carpet bombing the cockroaches in an area.
Boom boom boom!
The shells fell like rain, and fifty of them were like the angry god of fire, blowing the soil more than ten meters away and creating a deep pit on the ground.
The soil in the carpet-bombed area rolled like waves, the smoke from the explosion filled the air, and the smell of gunpowder drifted throughout the position. When the smoke cleared, the soldiers could see the situation inside.
As expected, the cockroaches still stood upright. Even though they were riddled with holes from the artillery, their strong recovery ability allowed them to survive and recover quickly, and they would be able to continue fighting again soon.
However, the cockroaches were not without casualties. More than a dozen cockroaches were bombarded by heavy artillery in succession, and were torn into pieces in the explosion, or were shot in the head by artillery shells, and their recovery ability did not work and they died completely.
However, this number was really insignificant for the 500 cockroaches. By the time they killed all the cockroaches, Wang Jin's cockroaches had already penetrated their troops several times.
