#322 - Chapter 322: Earth-penetrating missile air strike
Shen Tu Zheng Hao and Bai Li Ji reconnected by phone, and he immediately sent the location information marked by Dai Zheng back to the council.
He needed to request an aerial strike from the council.
Night was approaching, and once it fell, the zombies would be able to come out and move around. Once they were out, it would be even more difficult to completely eliminate them.
Moreover, the armored ants that Dai Zheng mentioned could join the battle at any time. If they attacked, they would become sitting ducks.
The best course of action was to launch an aerial strike directly on the zombies' hiding places, which would eliminate them at the smallest cost.
Shen Tu Zheng Hao quickly obtained authorization.
Twenty-three DCS-6 ground-penetrating missiles were launched from a missile base in the Northwest Military Region.
He wanted to destroy those armored ants and zombies in one fell swoop.
The DCS-6 ground-penetrating missile could reach a speed of 1 kilometer per second, and it would take only a dozen minutes to reach Bato City after being launched from the Northwest Military Region.
However, these 23 missiles were destined to be a wasted effort.
While Dai Zheng was revealing this information, the Queen Bee had already begun attacking several places where the zombies were hiding.
It needed those crystal cores to develop here.
More than a million zombies meant at least a million crystal cores, which was enough for the Queen Bee to build a small-scale underground base here.
On the other side, after Ling Su obtained Ling Tian's consent, she began to mobilize the giant ant legion to advance towards the Ulahan District. This decision just happened to prevent the ants from being wiped out.
When the giant ant legion began to move, Dai Zheng received the news.
"Report!" Dai Zheng hurried to find Shen Tu Zheng Hao.
"Enter!" Shen Tu Zheng Hao had already issued the launch order.
"Commander, there's a situation! Those armored ants have moved out!" Dai Zheng said.
"What?" Shen Tu Zheng Hao stood up abruptly.
"It's true. They are on their way here now, and I'm afraid the aerial strike will not be effective," Dai Zheng said.
"When did this happen?" Shen Tu Zheng Hao asked.
"Probably a dozen minutes ago," Dai Zheng said.
Shen Tu Zheng Hao looked at his watch. He had only issued the order five minutes ago. Therefore, the possibility of a leak was ruled out, and it should just be a coincidence.
"Alas!" Shen Tu Zheng Hao sighed.
Unfortunately, the missiles had already been launched and could not be recalled.
"Commander, what's wrong?" Dai Zheng asked.
Shen Tu Zheng Hao glanced at him, didn't answer, but said:
"The battle in Bato City will not end in a short time. I need you to carry out another mission."
"Commander, please give your orders," Dai Zheng said, standing at attention.
"There are still nearly 100,000 citizens of China whose whereabouts are unknown. I hope you can find out as soon as possible," Shen Tu Zheng Hao said.
"Yes! I guarantee to complete the mission!" Dai Zheng replied.
"We also captured more than a dozen prisoners before. You can take a few and see if you can get some useful information," Shen Tu Zheng Hao said.
"That's great. With these prisoners, I think it will be much easier," Dai Zheng replied.
"Don't be too optimistic. These prisoners are modified humans, very tight-lipped, and the information they provide needs to be carefully identified for its authenticity. Don't underestimate the enemy, lest you suffer a big loss," Shen Tu Zheng Hao reminded.
Their current encirclement in Bato City was related to the false information provided by that female modified human.
"Don't worry, Commander, I know what to do," Dai Zheng said confidently.
"Okay, then go," Shen Tu Zheng Hao waved his hand.
Dai Zheng saluted and left.
More than a dozen minutes later, twenty-odd missiles arrived in Bato City.
Twenty-odd locations in the Geller District and the Zhuerhe District exploded simultaneously, with loud rumbling sounds. The ground trembled violently.
The attack targets did not include the temple in the northern part of Bato City.
There were still more than 3,000 people there, and it was inhumane to bomb it directly.
Subsequently, Shen Tu Zheng Hao ordered all 60,000 simulated spider robots to be dispatched. At the same time, some flying robots were also dispatched to investigate the movements of the armored ants.
The advantages of simulated spider robots are their high mobility and extremely tacit cooperative combat capabilities. Therefore, waiting for the armored ants to come to their door here was too passive, and Shen Tu Zheng Hao decided to take the initiative.
Those dung beetles posed no threat to the simulated spider robots, so their existence could be completely ignored.
Because he knew the hiding places of those armored ants in advance, Shen Tu Zheng Hao could also roughly judge their movements. In this way, the simulated spider robots could completely intercept them halfway and annihilate them one by one.
The situation was similar to what he had expected. The flying robots quickly transmitted the images back, and the armored ants were crawling south simultaneously on multiple streets.
However, because they were equipped with various armors and thermal weapons, their speed was very slow, very slow. It was estimated to be about the same as a person's walking speed.
The Baler District is located directly north of the Ulahan District and is relatively close, while the Zhuerhe District is located northwest of the Ulahan District and is relatively far away. Therefore, it was impossible for the armored ants to arrive in the Ulahan District at the same time, which created very convenient conditions for the simulated spider robots to carry out annihilation one by one.
