More than 40 armored vehicles drove into the infected area in high spirits. Just when everyone thought that this would be a one-sided military show by the United Kingdom, the situation took a dramatic turn in just a minute.
No one knew how intense the firefight in the infected area was, but almost the whole world saw the result of the firefight. Only five of the forty armored vehicles returned, and all the infantries were lost. Colonel Moston, who was in command of the battle, could not accept the fact that the long guns and cannons had suffered a loss in the hands of a group of insects.
Not only could he not accept it, but the people watching the disaster with their mobile phones also couldn't accept this reality.
From City K to Yoto, the word biohazard struck the fragile nerves of people around the world again and again. The concept that was originally thought to only appear in literature and films was now brought to reality, and it easily attracted enough attention on a global scale.
And panic …
On social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Weibo, the discussion about X2 bacteria had turned the world upside down.
"Last time it was the T virus, this time it's X2 bacteria? God, are those capitalists crazy? Is it good for them to research this kind of thing? The country should legislate to prohibit these dangerous research! "
"Unbelievable, was it really the British army that just went in? Were the British armoured vehicles made of paper? It's just a group of mutants, they can crush them with their tracks! Could it be that their teeth can bite through armor? "
"Doomsday Survival Handbook, a ten-year doomsday enthusiast teaches you how to survive in the apocalypse. Limited quantity, buy now."
"Send out peacekeeping forces, this is not a problem of one country, this is a problem of the world …"
"I'm very curious now, is there such a research institute in every Arrow military base?"
"…"
Colonel Moston couldn't see what was going on on social media. He was now worried about how to explain this disastrous fiasco to the Ministry of Defense and the parliament. An entire mechanized battalion fell into the enemy's hands without being able to fight back!
God, the Prime Minister still counted on him to solve this matter beautifully and pull Finland into the NATO family. But now, his face was pale, and he didn't even have the courage to formulate a combat plan. He refused to send any more troops.
Not to mention a brigade of mechanized troops, even a division wouldn't be enough!
The Finnish government was anxious and half-threatened that if they couldn't solve the problem of the nest, they would contact Celestial Trade for a solution.
Morston scoffed at the Finnish government's argument because it was not a matter of combat effectiveness at all. Even an armored vehicle could be melted by the acid, could the kinetic skeleton of Celestial Trade be harder than an armored vehicle?
It was better to wait for the scientists to figure out what the X2 bacteria was. Morston had a hunch that as long as he could develop something that could kill the spores, the mutants themselves would be wiped out.
"I admit that we underestimated the Mother Nest's strength. Sending troops into the infected area hastily was the wrong choice." Standing in front of the media, Moston bit the bullet and explained, "The scientific research team from London is already studying the DNA structure of these spores. I believe it won't take long to design a way to inactivate the X2 bacteria."
The reporter asked, "Colonel Moston, does this mean that Britain will give up military aid to Finland?"
"NATO will never give up any friendly partner, but this is no longer something the UK can solve alone."
"…"
"God … look! What is that! "
Just as Colonel Moston was busy explaining to the media, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd around him. A female reporter looked at the sky with a shocked expression and pointed in the direction of the infected area.
"Fireballs" fell from the sky.
Even from a few kilometers away, the explosion that broke through the sound barrier could still be clearly heard.
The cameras that were originally aimed at Colonel Moston all turned to the airspace. Almost at the same time, an earth-shattering tremor came from the soles of everyone's feet. While everyone's eyeballs were shocked, everyone's heart was shaken.
It was the first time that Celestial Trade's space-based weapons appeared in front of the media.
Moston was glad that the media moved the camera away. He knew very well that the expression on his face must be fascinating.
…
One hundred kilometers away in Murmansk, in the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel, Jiang Chen sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He looked down through the holographic screen and remotely commanded the battle between Celestial Trade and mutants.
Space-based weapons dispersed the spores that shrouded the military base in a short period of time. After a round of bombardment, Jiang Chen saw the shattered ground through the satellite map in the holographic screen.
"Eh? It didn't collapse? "Staring at the holographic screen, Jiang Chen was baffled.
Logically speaking, even if the underground bunker was more than 500 meters deep, it was impossible to block the bombardment of tungsten rods. This was a tungsten ball that fell from the synchronous orbit. Even if the 500 meters were made of reinforced concrete, it should have turned into cement chips by now.
This nest was indeed strange.
Jiang Chen's eyes moved slightly and he gave an order to Ivan.
"Continue to bombard! If the first round doesn't work, then go for the second round! Until he exits his body! "
The recovery ability of mutants was very strong. Ordinary minor injuries could heal at a speed visible to the naked eye with just a few breaths of air with spores.
Although the British army carried out several rounds of bombardment on the military base, they didn't really kill many mutants. Broken arms and legs may be fatal for humans, but for this group of organized mutants, it was just a matter of resting in the nest for a while to recover.
Even if they were killed on the spot, as long as the body was dragged back, it wouldn't take long for it to be recycled into organic matter and hatched into new mutants.
What's more, most mutants hid underground.
Jiang Chen's battle plan was very simple and brutal. It was a tactic to tire out the mutants by bombarding them with space-based weapons! As long as they could break through the mutants' defense, one punch wouldn't kill them until the nest exposes its body!
The tungsten rods weren't aimed at the mutants from the beginning, but to destroy the underground bunker. All the impact points were confined to a radius of ten meters. Even if the nest's recovery ability was as strong as the mutants, Celestial Trade's space-based weapons weren't just for show. In terms of the vertical penetration of weapons, no country on the planet could match them!
Jiang Chen didn't know that his simple and brutal plan caused Carmen, who was hiding underground, to complain incessantly.
The first round, the second round … rounds of tungsten rods smashed down from the geosynchronous orbit. Jiang Chen burned money, and Carmen burned organic matter. Both sides were bleeding, but Carmen, who had limited resources, was more distressed.
Soon, the nest couldn't hold on any longer.
As for how Jiang Chen knew, it was obvious from the satellite images.
As the dust dissipated, the soil layer had completely peeled off, exposing the intertwining roots underground. There was no doubt that these strong roots were the reason for the sturdiness of the underground bunker. The soil under its reinforcement exerted a concrete-like defense.
The nest released its spores in vain, trying to cover up its weakness. However, Jiang Chen didn't miss this opportunity and ordered Ivan to pursue.
The attacks from the geosynchronous orbit continued to fall. When the Stingray C-1 deployed in the geosynchronous orbit dropped the last tungsten rod, the tentacles covering the underground bunker also broke. The nest's defense completely collapsed, exposing the flesh bubbles hiding in the underground bunker.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen knew the opportunity had come and immediately ordered Ivan.
"The nest has been exposed. Stop the orbital weapons attack. Pass my order, the Third Power Armor Brigade, airborne combat begins! "
"Yes, sir!" Ivan replied in a sonorous voice.
The waterfall-like orbital strikes ended, and a full fifteen minutes had passed since the beginning. The reporters, soldiers, and townspeople standing next to the town of Paltamo were still frozen in the same dumbfounded posture. They raised their heads at a 45-degree angle and looked up at the clear airspace.
Colonel Moston opened and closed his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. The Finnish Minister of Defense standing next to him had a dark expression and was full of regret. He should have asked Celestial Trade to settle this from the beginning. As for the reporters, they had already begun to think about what words to use to add narration to this devastating "air strike".
Everyone had yet to recover from the shock.
Just when everyone thought that everything was over, rows of flames fell from the clear sky towards the ground ….
