#467 - Chapter 467 So Hot
Escape!
For the four New Sheep City personnel who had survived inside the tank, their immediate thought was how to escape back to base alive and inform their leader!
With just a single tank, they had no chance of winning this war!
However, they weren't overly panicked, as being surrounded by steel gave them a significant sense of security!
As long as they didn't do anything foolish and go outside, the enemy shouldn't be able to penetrate the tank's defenses, right!?
At this moment, the driver quickly turned the tank around, intending to return the way they had come.
Another crew member was also adjusting the turret, planning to fire a few shots at the hidden enemies who hadn't appeared in their line of sight from the beginning.
Even just to intimidate them!
At least it might make the enemy hesitate to pursue them.
Clank, clank!
The tank's massive tracks began to turn, causing the dozens of tons of metal to move backward.
"Thwack!"
Suddenly.
The commander and driver, who were responsible for observation, noticed their vision darken, and one of their observation devices could no longer see the outside!
"Thwack!"
"Thwack!"
...
Continuous thwacking sounds rang out inside the vehicle, and the crew quickly realized that the observation mirrors in various locations on the tank had turned black!
"Holy crap!! Captain! Our vision is blocked by something! We can't see the road!!"
The driver's scream made him jump, his face pale, and sweat pouring down his head like it was free.
Not just him, the other three in the tank instantly realized the situation was serious. The enemy had somehow deprived them of their vision!
Without vision, they were just an iron turtle at the mercy of others!!
"Fire! Bombard those bastards outside!! Don't save the shells!! Kill them!!"
The squad leader had gone mad.
He originally thought they had a good chance of escaping, but now that their vision was gone, how could they drive the tank back!?
Blindly driving for hundreds of kilometers!?
What a load of bullsh*t!?
A sense of despair washed over them. Remembering the tragic deaths of their comrades, they seemed to see a scythe-wielding grim reaper waving at them...
******
The scene shifts back to Green Source's side.
The operation to deprive the tank of its vision was naturally their doing.
Upon confirming that there were people inside the tank and that they were trying to escape, Zhong Yu issued new orders.
Take down this tank!
And capture it!
Their old friend Qin Jin had already made a battle plan with them. Knowing that the New Sheep City base possessed tanks, a weapon of destruction, how could they not have a specific countermeasure?
Before the war, they had already confirmed through military spy drones that the New Sheep City convoy carried tanks.
So naturally, they would come up with a solution.
If the New Sheep City people were arrogant and didn't have personnel stationed inside the tanks in advance, that would be the best-case scenario. They could have eliminated them all in the previous attack without wasting extra time and effort to capture the tank.
But it didn't matter, everything was still under control.
Just now, the Green Source team members had manipulated several drones to fly over the tank and drop black ink balls onto the tank's observation devices!
These were specially prepared items brought by the base to block the enemy's vision. They were very useful for vehicles or anything else.
Green Source team members often used them to intercept vehicles when chasing survivors who had committed crimes in Green Source.
It was just that today, it was a tank.
"Continue with the next operation!"
Seeing that the tank, which had just started to escape, had become blind, Zhong Yu gave another order in the team channel.
The drones that had just dropped the ink balls returned, and another batch of drones, with unknown objects hanging under their bodies, took to the field again and flew straight to the tank, which was firing wildly like a headless fly!
The enemy had no idea that their enemies were hiding far away from them. The tank's main gun hitting the surrounding buildings was completely irrelevant to them.
A few minutes passed.
"Captain! What do we do!? If we keep firing like this, we'll run out of ammo and we're doomed!? We're going to die! Hahaha!!"
Inside the tank.
The gunner in charge of operating the main gun was a little broken down. He couldn't see the outside at all, and he didn't know if the shells he had fired had achieved anything. The only order he had received was to keep firing.
He couldn't see any hope of escaping this battlefield!
Damn it, it's over!
"Slap!"
The squad leader inside the tank slapped him and grabbed his neck, roaring:
"Die your a**! We're inside a tank! This is a tank! People outside can't get in! What the hell are you afraid of! If we don't return to base today, the leader will definitely know something happened to us and send people to find us! We won't die!! Damn!!"
!!?
The gunner slowly reacted after being slapped and hearing the squad leader's words.
That's right!
We can stay in the tank and not go out. When the New Sheep City base's Leader Luo finds out, he will definitely come to save them!
There's still hope!
The others in the tank instantly perked up upon hearing the squad leader's words. People fear hopelessness, and once they find hope, they will desperately grasp at it.
"Let's stay put and conserve ammunition and fuel! Let's see what the enemies outside have to say! But no matter what, we absolutely cannot open the door! Even if they bomb us, we can't!"
The squad leader spoke firmly, looking like he would defend the position and never give up.
So what if the enemy has landmines and bombs?
They can't possibly kill them inside the tank, right!?
Without anti-tank weapons, ordinary bombs can't penetrate the tank's defenses!
At most, it would be a little uncomfortable.
They won't die!
The hope of survival spread inside the tank, and they no longer blindly manipulated the tank to escape, because they couldn't see the outside at all. Many of the tank's electronic devices had suddenly malfunctioned some time ago, and they could only observe the outside world through the simplest lenses and reflecting mirrors.
Today, with the observation holes blocked, they immediately became blind.
However.
The people outside obviously wouldn't let them have it so easy.
After they stopped struggling, there were only a few heavy breaths inside the tank. Fortunately, the tank had an internal and external circulation system, so it wouldn't suffocate them to death.
"I'm a little scared... Why haven't the people outside come to talk yet!? There hasn't been an explosion either. Have the people outside given up on us?"
The gunner muttered, looking around at his companions in the dim light of the vehicle, and saw a strong sense of unease on their faces.
It's too strange.
There's no way the enemies outside would let them go.
"Could it be that they know they can't break through our defenses and plan to starve us to death!?"
Another crew member suddenly said in realization.
His words stunned the other companions. It wasn't impossible!
That would be the best!
Let them continue to stay here, and New Sheep City will eventually come to rescue them!
Not moving means there's still hope.
"Speaking of which! It's so hot! With this hot weather and us being trapped in here with no air circulation, I feel like it's getting hotter and hotter inside the tank."
One of the crew members mumbled, sweating all over. He reached out and wiped the sweat from his head.
"Hiss——!"
Just as this person was about to lean against the edge of the tank's interior to rest, he suddenly jumped up as if electrocuted!
"Holy crap! It's so hot next to me!!"
He touched his red-hot back, and screamed in disbelief!
Some of the metal parts of the tank's body were actually hot to the touch!
