Bullets, grenades, rockets, and flamethrowers are the attack methods used by the convoy to resist cockroach attacks. At this time, many cockroach corpses of different sizes were left on the ground, and the civilized armed forces had the upper hand in front of the savage killing machines. The casualties paid by the convoy were relatively minor.
Among them, there are four Awakened Armors that contribute.
When it comes to long-range strikes, cockroaches can be said to have no strengths, the only advantage is their wings flying into the air for air strikes.
But once brought closer by an air raid, human firearms and weapons are greatly restricted, requiring the use of flamethrowers and close combat.
When it comes to melee combat, the two Awakeners in the Spring Knife Squad, dressed in Jade Rabbit Type II armor, are quite skilled. Due to their enhanced power advantage, their fists and sharp blades can effectively combat mutated cockroaches that invade the battlefield. Even Zhao Xin, who was once timid and timid like a mouse, can now compete with a single mutated cockroach.
This is a big guy who is taller than a person lying on his stomach. The night after Tom woke up, he met one of them. If it weren't for having a gecko cookie to attract hatred, Tom would have been able to swallow it in one gulp as soon as he met him.
Now with the Awakened Armor, even weak chickens like Zhao Xin can fight it back and forth with 5 times the power of 72 points, and then successfully kill it with the help of an assault rifle from a security soldier.
The three of them, dressed in Awakened Armor, have all received sufficient training in the eighth courtyard of the psychic team. When fighting, they can rely on brute force to deal with it as long as they follow the routine taught by the instructor and combine it with the actual situation.
By comparison, Tom's combat style is simpler, with punches, kicks, or a knife, relying on his accumulated rich hand to hand combat experience to kill those mutated cockroaches that break in more efficiently than they do.
On the contrary, soldiers from the Special Investigation Department also joined hand to hand combat. Although their strength is not as strong as the Awakeners, three or five of them, relying on firearms and knives, can still kill approaching mutated cockroaches with a small cost.
As for foreign mercenary groups, they also have their own strengths, firearms, bombs, and even strength and rich experience. Whether in close combat or long-range shooting, they have performed well.
The battle lasted for a while, with more and more cockroaches dying. Many living cockroaches began to fear and run away, but they didn't run far and turned around extremely awkwardly to fight back. It seems that the mutated cockroach gave them an irresistible attack command.
Immediately, the pressure on the team intensified again, and the cockroaches rushed forward one after another, putting the defensive line to a severe test.
"Damn it, why are there so many cockroaches left?"
"On the left, hit it right!"
The soldiers in the security department were first overwhelmed by the attack of cockroaches, and the soldiers using heavy machine guns on the armed pickup truck to the east were knocked down by a mutated cockroach flying over. The chewing mouthpiece quickly opened and closed, just like Tom's plastic handguard was bitten off by a cockroach. With a few efforts, half of his head was shaved off.
Subsequently, two rounds of pistol bullets from a specialized soldier were accurately fired into the mouth of the cockroach, flipping its skull and splashing juice from the wound on its head.
The soldier waved his hand and said, "Steady, don't be afraid, aim at the target, don't shake your hands!" After saying this, he jumped onto the back of the car, pushed the cockroach away from the dead soldier's body, grabbed the heavy machine gun, pulled the trigger, and shot down another flying cockroach in the air.
At this point, the role of the elite soldiers in the special investigation department was reflected. They quickly dispersed to various teams and led them to resist the surging tide of cockroaches, killing most of the mutated cockroaches that were suppressed in front of them.
Just as the pressure was slightly relieved, the awakened person with night vision ability, Lin Leshan, shouted loudly, "The big cockroach is flying, be careful!"
The headlights of the armored vehicle were lifted by him and shone on top of his head. The huge figure flapped its wings and swayed left and right in the air, looking very clumsy.
Two heavy machine guns aimed at it at the first moment, but most of the bullets were dodged by its precarious posture, and the rest fired sparks on it, seemingly ineffective.
"Hurry up!" Lin Leshan shouted as he climbed out of the armored vehicle and jumped. The huge mutated cockroach crashed to the ground, crushing both armored vehicles. Those who couldn't escape in time were instantly crushed into meat cakes.
"Big cockroach, big cockroach!" Number 17 jumped out of the only remaining armored vehicle in the front row and loudly ordered the soldiers around him. "Concentrate your firepower and eliminate the target at all costs!"
This mutated cockroach is completely black and shiny, and can still reflect light under various car lights. The head is raised to a height of 27 centimeters, but the width reaches 31 centimeters, and the body length reaches 53 centimeters, which is equivalent to 6.4 meters high, 7.5 meters wide, and 13 meters long before. This is a circle larger than the longhorn wood that Tom collected, and its length is even longer than the previous container truck. It is truly a big guy.
Of course, the usual posture of cockroaches is high in the front and low in the back, relying on the support of their legs, with their head at its highest and then all the way down, and their tail almost touching the ground.
The most deadly thing is that it is not only large, but also has a strong and resilient shell all over its body.
The soldiers of the foreign mercenary regiment turned the muzzle of the rocket launcher and fired it without hesitation. However, in the thick smoke, its huge figure collided directly, crushing the foreign soldier underfoot.
"Fire, fire, fire!" Kratos, the leader of this mercenary team, shouted fiercely, his heavy machine gun roaring and firing deadly bullets, leaving only a series of sparks on the mutated cockroach before the bullets were fired. So he exclaimed in shock, "Damn it, I can't go in. What kind of dog poop has God made?"
On the 17th, upon seeing the situation, he immediately adjusted his strategy, "The mercenary regiment's firepower is restrained, with two rounds of heavy weapon firepower. The Awakener's armor! Tom, find a way to go up and look for weaknesses!"
Tom was still at the back of the convoy formation, unable to pull himself away when he heard the words of 17 in the howling wind. A mutated cockroach that had reached the size of a sedan was flipped over by him, and at this moment, he was holding down the struggling cockroach and letting other soldiers shoot it in the abdomen with assault rifles.
The bullet tore open the shell of the cockroach's abdomen, and bodily fluids splashed up, burning his face and head. After wiping it off, he turned back and shouted, "Come on!"
Throwing away the body of the cockroach, he greeted a soldier from the special investigation department and quickly ran towards the front of the team.
The Jade Rabbit Type III armor provides him with a 2-second cooldown reduction for ability switching. Previously, it required a 3-second cooldown, but now with the help of cooldown, even if he stops power mode, the armor still maintains his 2-second power enhancement. After 3 seconds, the speed mode was activated and the giant mutated cockroach ran towards it with a bang.
At this moment, the two awakeners of the Spring Knife had jumped onto the back of the mutated cockroach, while their captain Liang Guodong was directing loudly while strafing. He saw Tom coming over and said disdainfully, "You go and support other places. My people have already gone up, so you don't need to interfere."
Tom turned to look at the attitude of number 17, who saw that there were already two armor on his back, so he decided to transfer him to the defensive position on the west side, where a large mutant cockroach appeared again.
Tom looked anxiously at the two shaky armor on the back of the mutated cockroach. Although he was a bit worried, he could only obey orders and run to the west side to reinforce.
Dealing with these ordinary mutated creatures, Tom wearing the Jade Rabbit Type III armor can easily handle it, but on the contrary, the two awakeners on the back of the mutated cockroach are not so easy.
The heavy weapons, ammunition, and explosives of the foreign mercenary group can indeed interfere with the attention of the mutated cockroach. At first, these two awakeners easily swam on its back, searching for a slight gap.
Unfortunately, the back of a cockroach is covered with front wings, which are made of leather. Simply put, it is made of a material similar to leather.
This type of leather not only makes the wings smooth but also has excellent toughness, which is used to protect the membranous hind wings of cockroaches used for flight.
After a powerful mutation, the leather front wings of this mutated cockroach have better toughness, good enough to fire bullets from a heavy machine gun.
This huge leather front wing completely covers the entire back of the mutated cockroach, and there is no evidence of any gaps.
At first, it was curious about human attack methods, so it leisurely swung its long antennae to observe, and the bullet hitting it felt as comfortable as scratching (if it itched).
After observing for a while, it felt its descendants continue to die tragically, and its patience was swept away as it began to rampage forward.
At this point, the two awakeners lying on its back were having a tough time. With their smooth backs and intense movements, they could only cling to the spikes on the leather front wings caused by mutations. But with a few efforts, they were swept down by the antennae of the mutated cockroach that had grown over their bodies.
As soon as the two landed, the mutated cockroach turned its body and its two short forelimbs held down one of the awakeners who had just climbed up.
The unlucky awakener was clutching the ground with both hands, but the mutated cockroach's thick forelimbs rudely dragged him to the chewing mouthpiece. He shouted loudly, saliva and nose all flowing out: "Brother... help me... ah..."
The cockroach's chewing mouthpiece can bite anything, even wood, and after mutation, it is like a meat grinder. Even with hard iron leg guards, the legs of the awakened cannot avoid being sawn apart. With the help of the cockroach's flexible forelimbs, he was like a pig's trotters being fed into a meat grinder, crushed from foot to head.
The captain of the Spring Knife, Liang Guodong, was both angry and painful, shouting loudly, "Ah Jun, Ah Jun!" The assault rifle in his hand was thrown away and he was about to charge forward, but was hugged by a team member. "Captain, calm down, calm down..."
Number 17 on the side also realized that they had angered the mutated cockroach, and could only loudly warn the armed pickup trucks surrounding the mutated cockroach to disperse quickly.
The mutated cockroach only took two seconds to crush and swallow the awakener wearing the Jade Rabbit Type II armor. Since the start of the war, it has finally nibbled on the sweet flesh of humans, and is instantly excited. Its 68 centimeter long antennae quickly swing and sweep away several soldiers who cannot avoid it.
"Scatter, everyone scatter!" Number 17 continued to shout, but apart from the elite veteran soldiers from the foreign mercenary regiment who quickly distanced themselves from it, the other security department soldiers reacted half a beat slower. Someone was quickly crushed by its long legs, and then the whole person was torn apart and swallowed.
The armed pickup truck circled around it, and the heavy machine gun on the car kept spitting out flames, probing every part of the body of this giant insect with large caliber bullets, attempting to find weak defenses and tear open its shell.
But the antennae of the mutated cockroach suddenly emitted a red light, and its massive body suddenly accelerated. With a quick swipe of its six legs, it knocked over an armed pickup truck.
"All Awakeners, hold onto it with all your might! Quick!" Number 17 realized that this group was more agile than expected. The front of the defensive position formed by the convoy had been disrupted, and if it were to disrupt the defense in other directions, the entire convoy would be in chaos, with everyone being divided and killed by cockroaches from all directions.
