"What do you think the boss is going to do?" A soldier with a rifle and wearing carbon nano armor walked in front of the team.
"I don't know." The comrade walking next to him was silent. The tactical helmet blocked the expression on his face, but from the way he looked around, it was easy to see the anxiety in his heart.
They were the private soldiers of the Zhao Corporation.
Two spider tanks, five armored vehicles, four modified trucks, twenty power armors, and one hundred and twenty infantrymen.
Eighty percent of the combat power was placed on the gambling table.
Another five kilometers and they would enter the city center. The place was filled with nuclear craters. It was a death zone that even the Death Claws didn't dare to enter.
The order that Zhao Chenwu gave them was ambiguous – follow the Crimson Chamber of Commerce fleet and wait for orders.
Just follow?
Not only were the two sentries in the front anxious, but the captain of the fleet, Chen Wei, who was sitting in the armored vehicle, also frowned.
Chen Wei stared at the Wanderer tank on the screen as he gulped.
It was ten meters long, 3.8 meters wide, and 2.6 meters tall. It weighed 112 tons and could accommodate three to four occupants. The main weapons were a type-52 particle cannon as the tank's main cannon, and a 2kg rapid-fire electromagnetic pulse cannon as the secondary cannon. The entire body was covered with a 140mm A-type steel armor. The built-in dense supramolecular compartment could resist the high-energy neutron radiation released by the neutron bomb explosion. The particle shield could effectively resist the attack of energy weapons.
It was simply a moving fortress.
The zombies swarmed in like a tide, but under the power of the giant, all the zombies could do was to lubricate its tracks with flesh and oil.
The main cannon as thick as a thigh was covered with snow. From the moment it left the base, it didn't fire once. The 2kg coaxial electromagnetic pulse cannon was also very quiet. Only when it saw a giant monster like Roshan would it casually fire a few shots.
One shot blew away the arm that protected the head, and the other shot blew off the skull where the neck couldn't be seen.
Under the power of the steel behemoth, even in the dangerous city center, the two teams did not encounter much resistance.
"They stopped," the sentries in the front said casually.
"It's probably time to rest."
Because the zombies in front of them had already been cleared by the Crimson Chamber of Commerce, they didn't even need to do any shooting. That was why they were able to do this so easily.
The expression under the tactical helmet of the Sentinel gradually turned into fear.
"No, something's wrong. Their cannons —"
Buzz!
The sound of cannonballs leaving the chamber stopped him from exclaiming.
The 2kg bomb easily separated his flesh and lifted the roof of an armored vehicle.
"We're under friendly fire! Damn it, what are they trying to do! "
"Hide! Get behind cover, quick! "
"Everyone, listen up. That's not an ally. I repeat, that's not an ally." Chen Wei's voice rang in everyone's communication channel. The vanguard troops that were fleeing in panic were stunned for a moment before they began to retaliate.
The spindle-shaped spider tank slid around the main road. Six pairs of load-bearing wheels split from the middle, forming four square-shaped mechanical legs that quickly climbed up the roof of the half-collapsed building. The remaining four armored vehicles and modified trucks also quickly went around the corner and used the terrain to avoid the barrel of the Wanderer tank. The infantry, on the other hand, looked for cover, took out their rifles and rocket launchers, and began to retaliate.
Because he felt something was wrong from the beginning, Chen Wei ordered the team to form a long line. Although forming a long line in the city center was not as effective as forming a square formation to resist the zombies' attack, in the case of an enemy at the front, the rear could quickly disperse and minimize the loss.
"Did they already find the satellite wreckage?" Chen Wei slammed on the armored shell as he stared at the image on the soldier's tactical helmet.
That insufferably arrogant attitude completely ignored the rockets flying towards its armor.
Even if he had two spider tanks on his side, he still did not have much chance of winning.
Four orange characters appeared in the center of the screen. A bitter smile appeared on Chen Wei's face.
They had already begun to retaliate.
Although he still hoped that the boss could mediate the war through negotiation, it seemed that he had to bite the bullet.
Boom!
Two shells exploded from the half-collapsed roof at a fifty-degree angle, dragging an orange arc as they slammed into the turret of the Wanderer tank, and then bounced into the window of an abandoned store.
"Ricochet!"
The blue electric arc densely covered the shell of the tank, and the flat surface of the armor didn't even leave a dent.
"Dammit! It's electromagnetic reactive armor! "
Against the steel core armor-piercing shell, through a special field, the metal shell reached the superconducting state after breaking through a certain speed threshold. Under the effect of the strong magnetic field outside the armor, according to the Meissner effect, the shell that became a superconductor would produce an equal and opposite magnetic field inside, which would attenuate its kinetic energy and cause the angle of the shell to shift.
This kind of armor had a miraculous effect against the electromagnetic cannon shell that must use conductive materials. It also had a certain effect against the steel core armor-piercing shell that was usually driven by artillery.
"Change to insulated shells."
"Roger."
The Wanderer tank quickly retreated. Because of the limitation of the elevation of the barrel, it could only aim at the spider tank on the roof by increasing the distance.
But the spider tank that occupied the advantageous terrain would not let it succeed. It kept moving while firing at the steel behemoth on the road.
Zombies, Crimson Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Corporation.
The three parties began to fight.
As the heavy armor left the battlefield, the zombies that were no longer blocked charged at the two parties.
If it was just the zombies, the well-trained soldiers on both sides would never let these stupid guys get close to them. But now, everyone was not only facing the zombies, but also the bullets from the other side.
It was a complete mess.
"Fu * k, their firepower is too strong! We need backup! " With their backs against the bunker, a soldier in a carbon nano combat suit screamed into the communication device while firing at the incoming zombies.
"Someone is down, medic!"
"Dammit, it's the Death Claw! AHHHHH! "
"The zombies have broken through the defense line! Requesting armored vehicle backup! "
"Denied, the enemy anti-armor units have not been cleared, unable to enter the warzone —"
…
Chen Wei turned off the messy communication device and pinched his eyebrows. A hideous expression flashed across his face as his eyes locked onto the words on the screen.
Now, he finally understood the meaning of Zhao Chenwu's "use with caution" before he left.
The boss predicted from the beginning that the Crimson Chamber of Commerce definitely had a problem.
This kind of lethal weapon with less usage was definitely not meant to be used against zombies.
If the trump card of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce was the Wanderer tank, then Zhao Corporation's trump card was these things. The fuel-air bombs that were given to the Fishbone base were just some old goods. The more powerful stuff was always in Zhao Chenwu's hands.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Wei pressed the button.
Without the slightest sign.
In the wilderness one hundred kilometers away, the flat land suddenly cracked open. After the cover was removed, the metal plates hidden under the soil gradually separated.
This was the missile silo left by PAC. To avoid airstrikes, there were a lot of temporary, disposable missile silos on this piece of land.
The light blue signal light extended from the top to the bottom of the silo.
"Silo 72 is about to launch. Staff, please retreat immediately."
The electronic voice made the launch announcement as it scared the mutated rats biting the plant roots to scatter.
In an instant, thick smoke erupted and instantly covered the entire area.
The ten-meter-long missile was like an arrow piercing through the clouds as it broke through the airspace filled with radiation dust.
"It is estimated to reach the target area in ten seconds. Commander, please set the attack target."
Chen Wei took a deep breath as his eyes locked onto the rampaging Wanderer tank. With his finger, he dragged the crosshair to the red box.
"Attacker A, Attacker B pay attention, quickly move away from the local target."
"Roger."
After receiving the order, the spider tank quickly jumped down from the building. The six pairs of wheels were reconnected and switched to wheel drive mode.
Seeing the enemy unit suddenly retreating, the Wanderer tank realized that it may have been targeted by long-range weapons. It quickly dropped the thermal and electromagnetic decoy bombs, and at the same time, it rushed into the building on the side.
The solid concrete wall was shattered like a piece of paper under the impact. It attempted to use the ten-meter-tall building as a cover.
But it was too late.
A gray smoke trail instantly fell from the air.
The light suddenly dimmed.
The arc-shaped flame suddenly exploded, and the shockwave blew away the concrete blocks, the particle shield, and the armor shell.
The ten-meter-tall skyscraper withstood the aftermath of the nuclear explosion, but it collapsed under the direct attack of the cruise missile. The Disaster-32 cruise missile was designed with the NATO warship as the imaginary enemy. It was a piece of cake to deal with a tank.
Even the people thousands of meters away felt the tremor of the earth.
The flames that blossomed in the sky made the fluttering wind and snow lose their splendor. It was to the extent that even the endless gunshots became muted.
The battle was reversed in an instant.
The Crimson Chamber of Commerce, which lost its strongest armored unit, was forced to flee by the two spider tanks. Other than the Wanderer tank, they didn't bring too many weapons on this trip, only a few dozen infantries and a dozen power armors.
Seeing that his soldiers gained the upper hand, Chen Wei slowly let out a sigh of relief.
The Zhao Corporation had already won this war.
Although the price was expensive.
The Sixth Street council must have been in an uproar, but that was not something he should worry about.
The gunshots gradually became sparse. The soldiers of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce erupted with the courage to fight to the end.
But it still couldn't change the outcome of their defeat.
"The enemy unit has been eliminated." When he heard the communication sound, Chen Wei's face flashed with a hint of relief.
"Pull back the battle line, put up a wall to block the zombies, take a break, we're going back-"
"What is that!"
"God …"
Two soldiers opened the trunk of the captured armored vehicle.
Staring at the screen, Chen Wei's pupils contracted.
Nuclear bomb!
…
Looking at the mushroom cloud in the distance, Cao Jinsong's face flashed with mockery.
He was standing in the wilderness a few kilometers away with a pickup truck parked next to him.
"Tsk tsk, Disaster-32, finally used?"
He put the binoculars into his pocket, shook his head, and returned to the car.
Regardless of whether the Sword of Damocles existed or not, the sword hanging above his head was gone.
He used a Wanderer tank to exchange for Zhao Chenwu's most feared trump card. He used a nuclear bomb and 72 lives to exchange for 80% of his combat power.
And he still had four Wanderer tanks left.
If it was poker, the winner would have been decided?
