Chapter 1153: Bombers Swarm Out!!
A 155mm grenade accurately hit the top of the spiral spire-shaped anthill!
The hard shell made of a mixture of soil, stone, chitin and biological mucus, which is strong enough to withstand conventional attacks, is as vulnerable as a fragile eggshell under the combined effect of kinetic energy and high-explosive charges!
The exploding fireball soared into the sky, instantly cutting off a large section of the top of the anthill. Countless fragments, sticky biological tissues, and shattered ant remains mixed in the scorching air waves and burst in all directions!
A huge hole appeared on the anthill, revealing the intricate honeycomb-like channel structure inside.
But this is just the beginning!
More shells followed!
boom! boom! boom! boom!
The dense explosions hit every huge anthill like drumbeats!
Some anthills were blown in half, and the upper part slowly tilted and collapsed with a deafening roar, carrying with it smoke and countless ants, and smashed into the streets below that had already been covered, causing a secondary impact and destruction!
Some anthills had huge holes blown out on their surfaces, as if they had been gnawed by a giant beast. The dark red biological mucous membranes quickly charred and shrank under the high temperature, emitting the stench of burnt protein.
Those soldier ants that tried to rush out of the holes, check the situation or launch a counterattack were torn into pieces by the subsequent shock waves and fragments as soon as they appeared, or turned into charcoal in the high-temperature flames.
However, the destruction covering the earth's surface was only the prelude to this divine punishment.
The truly fatal blow comes from those specially designed heavy assault bombs with extremely strong ground-penetrating capabilities!
Several giant earth-penetrating shells with slender bodies and specially reinforced warheads, with shrill screams, easily penetrated the relatively fragile surface and the soil layers dug and reinforced by ants on the upper layer of the ant nest like a hot knife cutting through butter!
They drilled into the ground unstoppably along the cracks and holes created by artillery shells or naturally existing ones, falling towards the core of the huge underground nest that was hundreds of meters deep!
Some special shells filled with special chemical reagents followed closely behind, falling into the depths of the nest along the passage opened by the bunker-buster bombs!
Boom——! ! !
Extremely dull explosions, as if coming from deep within the earth, rang out one after another!
The earth began to shake violently, as if a high-intensity earthquake had occurred!
Above the surface, the surviving giant anthills, which were already scarred, let out teeth-grinding groans under the shaking from their foundations. Huge cracks quickly spread throughout their bodies like spider webs, and more structures began to collapse and slide.
And underground, the real doomsday has already arrived!
The earth-penetrating warhead exploded in the core area deep inside the nest, and the violent shock wave spread crazily along the extensive tunnel network, like a destructive storm blowing in the underground world!
Countless passages collapsed in an instant, burying and crushing thousands of worker ants, soldier ants, egg chambers, and mushroom beds!
Immediately afterwards, the special chemical bomb exploded, releasing deadly clouds or high-temperature flames, which raged along the passages that had not yet been completely blocked, greedily devouring all oxygen and organic matter along the way, killing countless ants in an instant, and even melting and vitrifying the nest structures in some areas!
Under the blow of this industrial disaster, the Ant Empire, which was once well-ordered and seemed to have a collective will, fell into madness and helplessness!
On the surface, the surviving ants were running around like headless flies. They could not understand the attacks from the sky and underground, and could only rely on instinct to frantically secrete alarm pheromones, but this only exacerbated the chaos.
Some soldier ants attempted a futile charge in the direction of the incoming shells, but were quickly overwhelmed by the subsequent artillery fire.
In the underground nest, the pheromone communication network was physically severed and completely destroyed by chemical pollution, and the entire social structure collapsed instantly.
Driven by instinct, the ants trample on each other and fight for narrow escape passages, but are often completely buried by the subsequent secondary collapse or chemical flames.
The solid nest structure is disintegrating and collapsing from the inside. Huge holes are appearing one after another, triggering a chain reaction, causing more surface areas above to sink downward, forming shocking giant pits.
The artillery fire continued to cover and extend without stopping.
Steel and fire are tearing, smashing and burning this "kingdom of flesh and blood" built by billions of lives inch by inch in the most primitive and brutal way!
In the face of this devastating industrial force, individual struggles and group collaboration seem so insignificant and ridiculous, leaving only the most complete destruction and helpless madness!
...
Just as the roar of the artillery cluster was still echoing between heaven and earth, turning the Fortune Building and the giant ant nest into a sea of fire and ruins, another deeper roar, as if coming from the abyss, rolled in from the direction of Longbao Air Force Base, from far away.
On the main screen of the joint command center, the airspace monitoring image was instantly covered by densely packed light spots representing large aircraft.
These spots of light were like flocks of migrating birds or gathered messengers of death, approaching the sky above the night market with an unstoppable momentum.
In the observation corridor, an Air Force major general from the Eastern Theater subconsciously adjusted his glasses and muttered, "What kind of plane is this... Another unheard-of aircraft..."
"It's so sci-fi, this design! It's just like the United States... No... It's even more sci-fi than their B-21..."
His voice trembled with a hint of overturned cognition. Not only because of the H-20's sci-fi appearance, but also because Zhou Bang, a dignified Air Force Major General, had no idea about the bomber that appeared on the screen...
If it was an experimental model, it would be fine, but this damn thing is almost covering the entire sky... and I just found out about it???
I became a foreign soldier??!
...
Soon, through the ultra-high-definition real-time images transmitted back by the front-line high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, everyone in the command center witnessed the shocking scene that was enough to be recorded in history and unforgettable.
On the distant skyline, a moving "dark cloud" as heavy as a lead block first appeared.
As the distance got closer, the "dark cloud" revealed its true appearance:
They were giant gray birds with huge bodies, sharp shapes, and flying wing layouts!
They are not just a few scattered planes, but form a huge flying formation that covers the sky!
Three main formations, each consisting of more than twelve H-20s, were like three dark clouds of death. With a low and majestic roar, they formed an almost parade-like formation, slowly but unwaveringly covering the sky above the entire Night Market war zone!
Covering the sky and the sun!!
The sunlight was blocked by the huge fleet of aircraft, casting large moving shadows on the ground, as if the day suddenly ended early, and night arrived along with death.
Buzz——————
The roar of the engines merged into a continuous, oppressive background sound, as if the sky itself was groaning in pain! !
