Chapter 577 Great Counterattack 14
Just when Cai Wenjie was thinking about what problems would arise tomorrow, the troops across the country had almost finished the first day of the counterattack. Reading
How should I put it? The results of the first day of the counterattack were not very ideal. Most of the troops did not get any advantage at all when they faced the dense zombies and various mutant creatures in the city for the first time. They were either evenly matched or suppressed. There was basically no one like Cai Wenjie who recovered a small part of the city in one day.
This is not to say that Cai Wenjie's troops are so powerful. It is purely because there are not many zombies left in the entire YJ city after nearly a month of large and small battles, so Cai Wenjie easily took over a part of the city. If he were to attack a city without any consumption, it would probably suffer heavy losses.
Other cities, especially those big cities, had a large population before the doomsday, and there were also many zombies after the doomsday. Although the troops attacking the big cities were very strong, with regular army-level weapons and equipment, and equipped with a large number of artillery and long-range attack methods, they could only use artillery and rockets to carry out large-scale pre-war bombing in the face of the tide of zombies.
Although the bombing was effective, it was just that. There were too many zombies, so even the regular army could not resist them. They could only fight and retreat. Basically, they would use rocket launchers or artillery to bombard the zombies a few kilometers away for several rounds, and then immediately retreat a few kilometers.
Although it was very time-consuming to consume the number of zombies in a cycle, it was also the safest method. We couldn't just use the troops to resist the attacks of these zombies, right? You know, even the armored troops would only be disappointed in the northwest when they encountered zombies like a tide, not to mention them.
So they could only use this method to consume the number of zombies, and decide on the next action plan after the number of zombies dropped to a certain extent.
The troops in other small cities were even worse. Although the cities were not large, the number of zombies also exceeded hundreds of thousands. With the weapons and equipment of small troops, they had no way to deal with the zombie army with a number of hundreds of thousands, but they also had their own methods.
For example, dig a huge pit, or find a natural valley surrounded by mountains, fill it with flammable and explosive items, and then sprinkle a lot of gasoline to ensure that as long as the fire was lit, it would turn this place into a sea of fire.
After the traps are completed, some troops are sent to the city to attract a large number of zombies into these traps. When the zombies step into the giant pit or the valley, they are directly set on fire to turn the place into a sea of fire. Then they can prevent the escaped zombies from escaping. The rest will turn into human-shaped charcoal.
Doing this repeatedly several times can basically consume a large number of zombies in the city. Finally, concentrate the troops to pull out the zombies hidden in every corner of the city and kill them.
The main reason is that the mutant zombies have simple thinking and judgment abilities. Ordinary means can't attract their attention at all. Unless they are lured by living people or living things, they will be lured out. Otherwise, they usually ignore it, even if they are observed by helicopters at close range, because they know clearly that no matter how hard they rush, they can't do anything about these flying things. It's better to ignore them from the beginning than to waste their efforts.
In addition to these mutant zombies, there is another reason why most troops dare not directly break into the city, that is, the soldiers do not want to face dense mutant creatures, such as mutant rats and the like, and the zombie birds flying in the sky. These two mutant creatures are simply bug-like existence.
Facing such mutant creatures, unless you are wearing exoskeleton armor or holding a big killer weapon such as a flamethrower, there is no way to effectively fight them.
Fortunately, these mutant creatures will not cooperate, otherwise it will be a big trouble.
…
The next day, Cai Wenjie called the system as soon as he opened his eyes in the morning and gave him today's task.
And the system was not vague and directly gave him a difficult task.
Task difficulty: difficult
Task goal: Destroy the alien fighting beast Obern!
Task reward: Exoskeleton mecha worth 10 million!
To be honest, when Cai Wenjie saw this task, his eyes jumped immediately, and his nerves, which were originally a little tired, immediately became energetic. In short, he was scared.
"Wait a minute! What does the alien beast Obern mean? Where is he? In YJ city?"
"Please calm down, chief. After systematic investigation, the alien beast Obern will arrive in YJ city in three hours. Please kill the mission target at that time."
"Three hours? That means the so-called alien beast Obern is not here now, right?"
"Yes"
"That's good"
Cai Wenjie is not afraid of the alien beast. He was not excited just now because he was going to face the alien beast. The main reason is that if this alien beast has been lurking in the city and Cai Wenjie and others are still unaware of it, it is very likely to cause a disaster.
For example, when Cai Wenjie's troops are fighting in the front, if a alien beast suddenly jumps out from the back and sneak attacks the combat troops, it is very likely to cause the annihilation of a unit.
Although Cai Wenjie's troops have killed at least two alien beasts, they were only able to do so because of sufficient firepower and a large number of heavy weapons. If there were no heavy weapons that could effectively damage the alien beasts, they would probably have died on the spot.
After thinking for a while, Cai Wenjie asked the system.
"Where is this alien beast Obern you mentioned? If possible, I hope you can provide the data of this alien beast."
"...Okay, this is the detailed data of the alien beast Obern."
Soon, the system showed Cai Wenjie all kinds of data about the alien beast Obern. The data is actually just intelligence, such as what kind of combat forms the alien beast Obern has, what are its weaknesses, and what is its current status.
In the final analysis, the first principle of the system is to help Cai Wenjie survive this apocalypse. The system will not betray Cai Wenjie, let alone hide anything from Cai Wenjie. This does not conform to his principles.
After Cai Wenjie looked at the data, or intelligence, given by the system, he immediately realized that this alien beast was a bit difficult to deal with. Why?
Because there is such a comment in the data given by the system.
Attention! The alien fighting beast O'Bourne was severely injured not long ago. When he was on the verge of death, he used up his last strength to devour a large number of mutated zombies around him, causing the alien fighting beast O'Bourne to undergo the sixth mutation. Not only did his injured body return to normal, but his physical strength and ability to withstand attacks also increased several times, making him extremely powerful.
