#975 - Chapter 975: New War, Disappearing People
Drones, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, surged towards the tank on the flatbed!
They used their fragile bodies to directly ram into it!
Boom boom boom—!!!
The series of violent explosions deafened the personnel at the Prison-style base nearby.
When they finally came to their senses and looked over, they saw that the once-imposing tank had suffered damage in many places!
In particular, important parts such as the observation ports, gun barrel, turret rotation mechanism, and tracks were all destroyed by the suicide drones!
Yes!
These were suicide drones that Green Source specialized in using to destroy valuable targets!
Green Source Base already had several weapons like tanks, and with the base's development, they no longer valued these cumbersome trump cards as much as they used to.
Occasionally, they could be used in zombie defense battles within the base, or to deal with bases in Guangnan Province that were unwilling to cooperate, but they would become turtles that couldn't escape when faced with enemies possessing a certain level of power.
Another important reason was that tanks were not suitable for long-distance raids, and their mobility was completely inferior to helicopters and airships.
Using aircraft to reach the target's head, and then coordinating with drones or other weapons to kill enemies was more efficient.
Times have changed.
Tanks, as a weapon, were being subjected to dimensional strikes by new types of equipment that transcended levels.
This tank, on which the Prison-style base had pinned high hopes, had its critical equipment damaged before it even reached the battlefield, rendering it unable to be deployed for combat in the short term.
Against other ordinary bases, tanks might have an overwhelming advantage, but unfortunately, when facing a force like Green Source Base, it was targeted and destroyed before it could even display its advantages.
This isn't to say that tanks are completely useless in the apocalypse.
It just depends on who is using them and how they are used.
Moreover, although this tank looked severely damaged on the outside, once the battle was over, Green Source would have plenty of time to slowly take over such spoils of war.
Just like how they dealt with the New Sheep City base before, they would always find a way to force the enemies hiding inside to come out, and then successfully capture the weapon.
Suicide drones can more accurately carry out precise bombings of high-value targets.
After learning that the enemy might appear and attack soon, the trading outpost discussed with Captain Liu and decided to use the fastest way to eliminate the invaders.
The suicide drones used are basically some cheap models, and with the current development speed of Green Source Base, and its current massive drone inventory, it is believed that it will soon have the ability to acquire them in large quantities.
The larger the area controlled, the more resources will be obtained in the future, and it is naturally better to quickly flatten the obstacles blocking the base's development path.
Returning to the battle.
The process of the drones destroying the tank was very fast, so fast that the people from the Prison-style base who came to attack the Green Source trading outpost had not even reacted yet, and their greatest reliance was lost.
That Boss Xin, who was respectfully treated by the young captain of Hunting Team 13, was completely dumbfounded.
He had finally accepted Black Boss's assignment to come here to eliminate the resisters, wasn't he supposed to show off his power, obtain benefits, and enjoy himself?
How could something like this happen?
What was going on with this operation of a large number of drones crashing into the tank?
Which base is so extravagant?
For a moment, Boss Xin didn't know what to say as he looked at the secret weapon with its dilapidated appearance.
But while he could be in a daze, the battle had not stopped.
Bang—!
A Prison-style base personnel who was hiding behind a car and peeking around was shot, and a huge blood hole was blasted out of his entire chest by a high-powered sniper rifle bullet, killing him on the spot.
The battle was still ongoing!
"Give me a counterattack!! Shoot over there!! Start all the cars!!"
"The enemy's drones have all crashed and been destroyed! And there are not many people shooting at us!! Counterattack immediately!!"
Boss Xin finally reacted at this time, and he quickly roared loudly at his remaining subordinates.
Of the ten cars they had come in, apart from the flatbed carrying the tank being affected by the drones and stopping, there were still nine cars continuing to rush towards the Green Source outpost!
The convoy that came to eliminate the enemy this time had nearly a hundred people, and even if twenty or so died, there was still a large part of the force!
They must go to the other party's lair and make them pay their blood debt!
The Prison-style base had not yet failed!
The remaining people quickly regained their confidence in the battle under Boss Xin's shouts.
These people were originally desperadoes, so naturally they would not be easily frightened by the death of a few companions.
Sporadic gunshots soon rang out, counterattacking in the direction they had been attacked from before.
There were several buildings over there, the enemy must be hiding there!
Boss Xin was not wrong.
Those who attacked them were just the reconnaissance personnel that the Green Source trading outpost had deployed at several key road locations.
They were the main force of the combat troops that Liu Wenhao had brought to support this side.
"The enemy is coming! We fight and retreat! Knocking out the other side's tank has initially completed the mission!"
On the roof of a building more than seven hundred meters away from the Prison-style base invaders, a Green Source squad leader in combat uniform shouted in the team channel.
This reconnaissance point only had ten members, barely able to control multiple suicide drones with pre-set programs to bombard the target.
It was still too difficult to completely defeat an enemy ten times their size with them alone.
But don't worry.
There were more companions from the trading outpost rushing to support this side, and victory would ultimately belong to Green Source!
Heng City.
Returning the perspective to the Prison-style base.
The high-level personnel here naturally did not know that the teammates sent to Anyong City to deal with the rebellious forces had encountered strong resistance.
Even if they knew, they would not panic.
Because this was the daily routine of hell.
Encounter the enemy, eliminate the enemy, and finally eat the enemy.
This was what Hell had been doing since its establishment.
Not only in Anyong City, but Hell was also carrying out large-scale development after the snow melted this year. Most of Xiang Province had not yet been brought under control, so encountering resistance in the process of external expansion was very normal.
The Prison-style base continued to carry out its daily work.
As for what work?
That was naturally to continuously make the meat pigs captured by the hunting team into large pieces of meat!
Large meat was the unregulated currency of the Prison-style base, and it could be eaten or taken out for trading, a good thing to support most people to survive.
Compared to other bases without a stable source of food, Hell had found a stable source that they had developed themselves.
Although this source was very disgusting.
But today, a ripple appeared in what should have been a peaceful day in the Prison-style base.
Some personnel in the Prison-style base were missing!
"Have you heard? Two people with some status in Area C have disappeared from their posts!"
"Yes! I heard this morning that someone in Area D went to the toilet and disappeared!"
Many people noticed that partners who should have been working together were missing, alive or dead, so they reported the situation to their superiors. As a result, the middle-level cadres who came to their senses noticed that nearly ten personnel had not appeared today!
This was no small matter!
