Beast tides are undoubtedly terrifying!
Especially that kind of overwhelming onslaught; an ordinary person who hasn't been through rough times would probably go weak at the knees and collapse on the spot amid those roars of myriad beasts.
Those huge wild beasts.
They were even larger than those big trucks, their colossal feet stamping on the earth, the dull sounds they made were more thunderous than thunder itself, deafening and soul-seizing.
But fortunately, the War Wolf Squad consisted of the elite of the elite. Although the beast tide was shocking, they quickly regained their composure. These creatures, when compared to those tens of thousands of tons of huge ships, the nuclear weapons that maintained world peace, and the terrifying Guardian Anti-aircraft Gun that destroyed everything.
And that which made The Wandering Earth most proud and confident, the pinnacle of human technology embodied in the enormous planetary engines that propelled the entire Earth!
Compared to these things.
What were beast tides?
Liu Peiqiang silently adjusted the firing rate of his gauss rifle and took out the carbon nano knife and shield from his back.
Although The Wandering Earth had mastered nuclear battery technology and obtained Ark Reactor technology from Logic, when facing this teeming mass, a war that might even be against the entire planet's lifeforms was different.
The energy of firearms would always run out.
By then, cold weapons would become the best weapons for combat.
Carbon nano materials were still experimental products in laboratories, with a hardness hundreds of times that of steel, but they were expensive and had certain issues. Yet, for this must-win mission of planetary conquest by humanity, the united government had taken out all these treasures from storage.
However, once these weapons were deployed.
It would also mean.
That the War Wolf Squad had reached a real dead end!
Liu Peiqiang inhaled deeply and silently listened to Mos' report on the numbers. He didn't bolster his team's spirits because perhaps everyone knew, perhaps...
They would stay here!
"Two thousand five hundred meters..."
"Two thousand meters..."
"One thousand eight hundred meters..."
"We've reached the optimal firing range!"
Liu Peiqiang shouted, "Deceleration troops!"
A person behind him tapped quickly on the computer on his arm, and the machines placed on the ground spun rapidly, ejecting beautiful sparks into the sky.
The sparks scattered like a fairy shedding flowers or like meteors falling, crashing down on the routes taken by the charging beast hordes, firmly embedding themselves in the ground like sprouting seeds.
These devices quickly lit up with red lights.
With the ongoing beeps, one by one, invisible thin wires connected, forming the presence that made the entire ETO organization tremble in fear from Different Space-Time.
Nano-materials!
Flying Blades!
The magic of these devices was not just that; their tops opened, and a faint humming sound could be heard.
With this invisible hum, the area around the entire War Wolf Squad seemed to enter a domain of absolute silence. The flock of strange birds diving with their four wings emitted a bizarre cry, wildly flailing themselves, crashing and stumbling through the sky in agony and mournful howls.
In the Na'vi's bewildered and frightened eyes, as if struck by a god's curse, the birds exploded one after another, turning into a sky full of blood mist, leaving no trace of flesh or bone.
The dense four-winged birds all began to veer away, some even scattering in flight, not daring to come close anymore, beating their wings especially hard, running at an unbelievably fast pace!
The members of the War Wolf Squad, witnessing this horrifying sight, couldn't help but remark, "Every time I see these infrasound weapons, I find them too terrifying, even more so than bullets and guns."
Guns and bullets can still be seen.
This invisible sonic wave assaults a creature's body, even directly passing through the skin and turning the internal organs to mush, much like being crushed by a huge truck, and the worst part is not even realizing it, then your body explodes like a watermelon.
Absolutely undefendable!
Humans may still be able to detect it with instruments, but a herd of wild animals would likely have no idea how they died until it's over.
Just as he anticipated.
With the four-winged birds in the sky scattering, the herd of charging wild beasts on the ground showed no signs of fear. They kept rushing crudely forward, yet couldn't get very far before being sliced into pieces by the death threads of the Flying Blades in the darkness, turned into scattered chunks of flesh.
The charge.
Cut.
Shredded flesh.
Charge.
Cut.
Shredded flesh!
The Na'vi felt as if their souls were searching, standing there dumbfounded, unable to utter a single word. Their blue faces had taken on a faint tint of some other color.
It was an expression of extreme terror.
They were the braves of nature, the fearless warriors of the forest, but their opponents had always been visible to the naked eye.
Hidden in the shadows.
Methods akin to those of deities.
They were thoroughly creeped out.
Just like encountering a Phantom Winged Beast.
Unbeatable! Unbeatable!
Compared with the Na'vi's fear, Liu Peiqiang and his team's spirits had nosedived to the extreme. The subsonic weapon consumed a lot of energy, and the cutting of the Flying Blades had its limits.
The bodies that had been cut fell to the ground, sticking into the mud, and trampled repeatedly by charging beasts, already piling up in a thick layer.
A few more charges.
And those bodies would surpass the height of the Flying Blades, becoming steps for other beasts to charge over.
The first layer of defense they had set up would burst open!
Then,
it would be time to test how nimble their fingers were.
Liu Peiqiang and his team were quietly waiting, but what they didn't expect was that the charging beasts suddenly stopped their attack and stood silently, motionless.
"What's wrong with them?"
The members of the War Wolf Squad looked at each other, bewildered.
Using a telescope and the Hummingbird, Liu Peiqiang carefully observed the movements of the other side and noticed that those strange blue-skinned people seemed to be arguing. Then, one of them flew towards them on a strange bird.
As it approached the subsonic device.
The blue-skinned person pulled out a bow and arrow, shooting forcefully at the subsonic vocal device, penetrating the alloy with arrows of an unknown material.
Liu Peiqiang was full of question marks.
At that moment, he even wanted to grab the other's collar, slap their head, and bellow loudly, "Your bow and arrow, ground from who knows what, just penetrated my alloy?"
"Isn't that just cheating?"
"Do you find this reasonable?"
"With such casualness, why would humanity even invent any technology at all?"
But what Liu Peiqiang didn't expect even more was,
that the blue-skinned person did something even more baffling and mind-boggling— they opened their mouth as if to say something.
Liu Peiqiang sneered at this, thinking even though you're an alien, you're not fully an alien; at least, you come from a less developed alien civilization without a language translator, so what's the point of shouting?
But when Mos conveyed the sound,
they were all dumbfounded!
Because the blue-skinned person was actually speaking...
English???
Is the whole universe speaking Earth's language?
Liu Peiqiang was in utter disarray amidst the wind...
