Inside the radar station in Liuding town, more than twenty workers in old PAC Marine Corps uniforms were nervously staring at the screen.
A middle-aged man with a general's hat stared at the red dot on the radar with a stern expression. Between his eyebrows, there was also a hint of nervousness.
"Launched?"
"Launch confirmed." A drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. The worker closest to the general's fingers trembled as he repeatedly confirmed the reliability of the signal.
[What is that b * tch Tang Miya doing? Didn't she say she reached an agreement with the dictator?] The general stared at the rising red dot as he cursed a certain person countless times in his mind.
"The missile is approaching the troposphere."
The general cursed as he took out the phone from his waist.
"Cannon No. 1, heed my orders. Raise the electromagnetic cannon."
"Roger."
Since the failed falcon crash last year, the heavy electromagnetic cannon hadn't been used for a long time. But because of the Fishbone base's dangerous move, the electromagnetic cannon was once again put to use.
But everyone knew that if they fought without caring about anything else, Liuding town would lose. Once the Fishbone base's tanks broke through the vulnerable allies and rushed to the Bohai aircraft carrier, it would only be a matter of time before Liuding town sank.
"The missile reached the stratosphere and began to change direction."
"Landing point confirmed. The target is at the edge of Songjiang city center."
"Alert dismissed."
In just two seconds, the situation once again took a dramatic turn.
Alert dismissed? Not targeting Liuding town?
The general was stunned.
He originally thought the dictator on the west side of Wanghai finally couldn't sit still anymore and revealed his sinister claws towards Liuding town. But he didn't expect the target of the ballistic missile wasn't Liuding town or Liuding town's allies, but an unknown force in the city center?
The general thought for a moment before he continued to order.
"… Aerospace department, send out helicopters to investigate the target area."
"Roger."
…
The Northwind-76 ballistic missile was developed and completed by Jiang Lin from the Aerospace Research Institute. In the battle against the mutated humans, it displayed its destructive power for the first time. After taking over Fallout Shelter 027, Jiang Lin further improved it. For example, changing the engine, fuel, simplifying the combat components, and so on. Finally, this Northwind-76 imitation ballistic missile was created.
The Fishbone base produced a total of five of these missiles and deployed them in the lower terrain of the rural area to replace the previously unreliable cannon to counter the threat of the electromagnetic cannon in Liuding town.
At this moment, in front of the launch pad in the Shenxiang colony southwest of Wanghai, several rocket maintenance personnel from the Fishbone base were busy performing the final launch inspection.
The No. 5 launch pad deployed in Shenxiang received the order from the supreme leader of the base and immediately initiated the missile launch procedure.
The green indicator light lit up, and the launch coordinates had been transmitted to the rocket's main control program.
"Area coordinates locked."
"Ignite the engine."
"Launcher separated."
"Fire!"
Thick white smoke billowed across the entire street. It separated from the launch pad of the 6m tall ballistic missile and flew towards the sky covered in radiation dust.
The grey ballistic missile pierced through the clouds like a sharp sword.
Then, like a roaring fireball, it ruthlessly smashed into the ground.
These were the coordinates Jiang Chen obtained from the bearded mercenary. Due to the strong defense, he couldn't confirm if there was a connection between this place and Lin Chaoen's base.
But it wasn't important now. Lin Chaoen had completely pissed Jiang Chen off.
Robot? Digitalized human? I don't care what secrets you have, you can all go to hell! I'll let your base test my weapon!
The radar installed on the apartment building detected the ballistic missile, but before the sentry machine gun could aim at the sky, the missile smashed through the target apartment building like a meteorite and exploded in the middle of the building.
The high temperature even melted the cement. The scattered metal pieces and cement pieces were blown away by the shockwave. The entire apartment building exploded like a balloon.
The shockwave of the explosion destroyed the building structure.
Five minutes later, the two adjacent apartment buildings also collapsed in the ruins.
…
Standing in the command center of camp 27, Jiang Chen stared at the ruins on the screen.
The shockwave of the explosion even shook the drones five kilometers away.
"Send out ground forces to search the area."
"Yes!" Wang Zhaowu saluted and left the office.
Just as Wang Zhaowu left, Xu Lu walked in.
With a smile, Xu Lu took out the tablet in her hand and reported to Jiang Chen, "The sample analysis results are out. The poison sac of the spider egg contains a hallucinogenic toxin. Those poisoned will show symptoms such as madness and foam at the mouth. "
"Hallucinogenic?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
Xu Lu nodded and continued.
"In addition, according to pharmacological analysis, some of the organic components contained in this toxin are similar to the 'Good Time' potion that the unidentified merchant sold at the camp's entrance last time … Based on this, it can be preliminarily concluded that this spider egg is the raw material for preparing the 'Good Time' potion."
[Good Time …]
The robot obviously didn't need the drug, so the drug should be for humans to use. [Earn crystals through selling drugs? Doesn't seem like it. Lin Chaoen doesn't look like a merchant.
And the Crimson Chamber of Commerce, their relationship is not normal.]
[Paramount?]
Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes in deep thought.
If possible, he didn't want to start a war with a force that didn't have a conflict of interest. In the face of the apocalypse, people had a lot of thoughts. Including the Dusk Church that practiced escapism, the People's Liberation Army that attempted to restore the 20th century, the Northern Alliance Area that claimed to be the orthodox Pan-Asia Cooperation (PAC), and the force behind Lin Chaoen that represented the Paramount … From a profit perspective, the Fishbone base didn't have a direct conflict with them.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the conversation between him and Academician Qin.
"The rebirth of civilization must be accompanied by bloody savagery." Jiang Chen murmured this monologue.
Xu Lu stood quietly in front of the desk, waiting for his instructions.
Then, the phone on the desk suddenly rang and interrupted Jiang Chen's thoughts.
He pressed on the desk and a soldier's face appeared in the center of the screen. He saluted Jiang Chen and quickly reported.
"Liuding Town helicopter appeared above the target area."
"Liuding Town?" Jiang Chen touched his chin.
The launch of the ballistic missile was for revenge, but it was also to deter Liuding Town. Since the Northwind-76 was not cheap, it would be a waste to use it to take revenge on the force behind Lin Chaoen.
"Don't worry about them, continue to search the target area," Jiang Chen ordered.
"Roger!" The soldier saluted again and ended the communication.
