Chapter 1157 Sweep!
Biological weapons!!! ??
The muscles on the face of Wu Xianglin, commander of the Southern Theater Command, instantly stiffened. The slight relaxation that had been present due to the smooth advance of the ground troops vanished, replaced by extreme shock and an indescribable sense of dread.
He stared intently at the black figures that surged wildly through the ruins, their movements coordinated yet imbued with inhuman power. A terrifying thought, like a venomous snake, slithered into his mind—
The Central Plains Theater... just like in those science fiction movies, has actually developed and deployed real biological weapons?!
And what's more, these...these "things" are clad in such sophisticated, technologically advanced armor?!
This thought sent a chill down his spine!
This means that the Central Plains Theater has not only achieved an overwhelming advantage in the fields of artificial intelligence and heavy industry, but has also reached such an alarming level in the most cutting-edge and taboo field of biotechnology!
This completely exceeded all his imagination of post-apocalyptic technological development!
After the initial extreme shock, Zhou Wei and Wang Zhiming from the Eastern Theater Command experienced a flash of insight, instantly understanding many previously incomprehensible aspects!
Crystal nucleus!
The Central Plains War Zone's urgent, even "thirsty," need for massive amounts of zombie and mutated beast crystal cores is actually for this purpose!
It's not about energy research or unknown technology at all, but about creating, or rather "feeding" these terrifying biological weapons!
The thought that the zombies and mutated beasts scattered across the land and sea might no longer be a threat in the eyes of the Central Plains War Zone, but rather a continuous source of "raw materials" for producing these black nightmares sent a chill down Zhou Wei and Wang Zhiming's spine!
They finally understood where Gu Chengyuan's seemingly indifferent attitude towards the threat from the ocean came from!
With such a terrifying biological weapon army, coupled with unpredictable artificial intelligence and a torrent of steel, the threats in the ocean are probably not something the Central Continent War Zone takes seriously!
This is not a comparison of power on the same level at all!
The entire observation corridor fell into a deathly silence, with only the muffled, thunderous running sounds of the "ghoul" troops and the occasional inhuman roars echoing from the screen.
The generals of the three theater commands, whether commanders or senior staff officers, were all frozen in place, their eyes fixed on the black torrent tearing apart the flanks of the battlefield on the screen.
...
When Barto's black torrent arrived at the giant anthill, the nest, torn open by artillery fire, was convulsing violently.
Surviving soldier ants kept pouring out of the broken holes, but what awaited them was an even more brutal massacre.
"Waaaah—" "Break in through the breach on the right!"
Barto’s roar echoed inside the armor, and his dark red figure, trailing pale red tassels, left a trail of afterimages in the smoke, crashing into the anthill with the ferocity and rage of a cannonball.
\"boom--\"
The Vanguard Night Hunter armor crashed directly into the already crumbling nest structure, and Barto smashed into the underground passage like a heavy battering ram.
Swah——
The obsidian claw blades flashed four times in the dim nest, slicing the oncoming soldier ants in half.
"Follow up! Follow up!" The ghoul warriors poured in from all the breaches like a flood bursting its banks.
The interior of the nest was much larger than imagined.
The shelling caused a landslide that blocked the main passage, but this only fueled the ghouls' ferocity.
"Landslide ahead! Dig it open!"
The thought that their commander might be watching them right now made the entire ghoul army incredibly excited, filled with a destructive desire!
Barto took the lead, his obsidian claws frantically digging at the blocking soil and rocks. The claw blades, made of a special alloy, sparked continuously as he dug, and each swing carried away large chunks of rock and soil.
"Hiss hiss hiss—"
The hydraulic system emitted a sharp hiss when operating at full power, and the sight of five hundred Night Hunter armored vehicles exerting their power simultaneously was terrifying.
The collapsed soil and rocks were cleared away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and worker ants trapped inside were crushed along with the collapse.
When the first main passage was forcibly opened, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a breathtaking sight—
This is a huge underground cavity with a diameter of over fifty meters, with countless viscous biomass pipes hanging from the dome, emitting a ghostly green fluorescence.
The cavity was surrounded by honeycomb-like cells, where tens of thousands of soldier ants, the size of African hyenas, were crawling anxiously.
In the center of the cavity, dozens of exceptionally large guard ants swarmed around a huge ovary that was still pulsating.
"Target spotted!" Barto's crimson eyepiece locked onto the ovary: "Leave no one alive!"
"Waaaaah—!!!"
The ghouls roared with deafening battle cries, surging into the cavity like a black torrent of iron bursting its banks.
The battle became intense in an instant.
Puff~Puff~
Barto transformed into a dark red whirlwind, shattering carapaces and sending slime flying wherever it passed.
With each swing of his obsidian claw blade, he could easily cleave through the soldier ants' hard head armor. Occasionally, when he encountered a particularly tough guard ant, he would simply ram into it, using the weight of his armor to crush the opponent against the rock wall, creating a shallow crater.
A special operations soldier, facing an attack from three soldier ants, charged head-on without dodging or avoiding, focusing solely on offense and defense, growing increasingly ferocious with each attack!
The full power output created a sonic boom effect from the impact, instantly shattering the soldier ants in front and blasting away the enemies on both sides.
"Leave the left side to me!" Another warrior slid sideways, his sharp claws piercing the soldier ant's soft abdomen, and then ripped it open completely.
The viscous entrails spilled onto the armor, immediately sending up a plume of corrosive blue smoke...
Some soldiers even grabbed the ant segments and used their armored strength to swing them as weapons, smashing them at the swarming ant colony.
Bang bang bang——————
Sweep!
The cracking sound of the shell shattering was incessant, and each swing cleared an area.
When they broke through to the center of the cavity, the guardian ants formed a solid defensive line.
These three-meter-tall giant ants raised their forelimbs, their sharp mandibles opening and closing repeatedly.
"Focus fire! Break through!" Barto roared and launched the first charge.
The dark red figure crashed into the guard ant formation like a cannonball, its four claws drawing deadly arcs in the air. One guard ant tried to block with its forelimbs, but was severed along with its armor.
Faced with the immense achievements of human industrial civilization, the power of natural mutation is still far too weak.
The transformations of the poor ultimately become toys for the technology of the rich...
