Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 344 Undercurrent
Having just experienced an enhanced natural disaster, the ordinary natural disaster this time has less sense of existence.

The reason for this phenomenon is nothing more than the emergence of a more attractive point of interest, which makes all parties involved in it fascinated.

Shentang is busy preparing orbital elevators and repairing crack-class battleships, while other parties are busy collecting metal garbage in the ground. Everyone is so happy with it that they get carried away.

Born in the last days, it will definitely not be a good end if you lose your vigilance.

On the bottom of the sea, in deep space, and underground in Skyrim III next door, different dangers have quietly approached.

however,
It may be to let the testers have a longer memory. This time the oracle did not issue any test tasks, just as if nothing happened. And the forces of the stars who have been accustomed to the oracle's reminders, presumably the loss this time is to suffer. deal.

……

In a blink of an eye, time has come to the last day of natural disasters.

At the same time, it is also the last day of the Tianjixing truce period.

All parties involved in the desert excavation took advantage of this last safety window to start destructive excavation crazily, and all the harvests that had been obtained were loaded into vehicles, and they set off immediately to return to the voyage as soon as the natural disaster was over.

One hour before the end of the natural disaster, the magnetic storm and associated disasters began to weaken rapidly, and the traffic environment was greatly improved.

Some daring forces of Yigao people couldn't bear to return home, and planned to evacuate the most important batch of supplies in advance.

Just then, an accident happened.

Masonic Excavation Site 0.

"Don't wait, let's go now! We must arrive at the lighthouse colony before the end of the truce period. The transport ship is waiting for us over there. As soon as the natural disaster is over, we can say goodbye to the sand and mob here!"

"Whoo~ Long live the boss! Let those savages who covet our wealth wait to eat dirt, hahahaha!"

"That's right! And this damn desert, I don't want to come here for the rest of my life, is there anyone going to Paradise Bar for a drink tonight? This time the bonus should be quite a lot..."

In the temporary warehouse of the excavation camp, a huge convoy is ready to go.

There are 36 special ten-wheel off-road heavy trucks that make up the fleet.

These big guys are produced by Dawn Colony. They are more than a circle larger than the trucks on Earth. They are equipped with 2000 horsepower electric motors, powered by energy coins, and have a load of more than [-] tons.

The front end of the car is equipped with a heavy-duty ramming angle, and a 30mm remote-controlled weapon station and a drone launcher are installed on the top of the cockpit. It can carry 8 suicide anti-armor drones, equipped with light armor, and can be used unimpeded in the desert. Big wide bulletproof tires, and smoke launchers for retreat.

For desert bandits with generally low technical skills, they don't need many escorts to walk sideways in this desert.

It was specially manufactured by the Freemasons using an industrial mothership for this excavation operation.

As for the Lighthouse Colony,
It is a small colony located on the edge of the wasteland continent, which was developed by the Freemasons into a subsidiary of the Dawn Colony, and has a landing pad and hangar dedicated to cargo ships.

They did not directly send cargo ships to the depths of the mainland to load goods. First, it was discussed a long time ago, which was the premise of Shenzhou allowing them to come to the desert to make a fortune; The oracle's advanced weapons were knocked down, the convoy was more concealed under the cover of wind and sand, and the risks were more controllable.

Lu Feng: No-fly zone, no one told me about it!

Soon, loaded with the essence dug in the past 15 days, the huge treasure transport convoy quietly set out on the road under the cover of wind and sand, accompanied by only 8 light armored vehicles and more than 100 soldiers as escorts.

From the perspective of the convoy commander, this is not a problem at all.

No matter how crazy the looters on the wasteland are, they are unlikely to take the initiative to attack such a tough-looking tough team, even if the carriage is full of precious cultural relics, advanced ammunition and expensive alien equipment unearthed from the ruins .

However, who said that there are only desert bandits in the desert?
Twenty minutes later, the Yunbao convoy was galloping in the vast desert. Suddenly, the co-pilot of No. 20 car found something out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey, buddy, look over there!"

In addition to the driver and co-pilot on each truck, there is also an escort soldier in charge of controlling the drone and the weapon station in the back row. After hearing this, the soldier immediately turned the probe of the weapon station on the roof, and under the waves of snowflakes that still interfered, a The fuzzy sand waves were attacking his car at high speed, and it was about to cut the convoy in half.

"Enemy attack!"

The escort soldiers reacted quickly, immediately sounded the alarm, and at the same time manipulated the large-caliber cannon on the weapon station to fire at the unknown enemy.

Puff puff……

After a muffled sound, a large column of smoke suddenly rose from the sand, and the sand wave seemed to be completely fine, and directly hit the speeding car No. 13.

Boom-!
After a loud noise, the heavy truck weighing more than 200 tons was suddenly overturned. The inertia caused it to roll over and plunge into the yellow sand. It was impossible to turn over again for a while.

Everyone in the car sent seat belts, but it was no big deal.

But in the next second, they felt their blood turn cold - the captain's voice came from the channel: "Accelerate! Keep going!"

They were abandoned!

Obviously, in the captain's mind, the latter is obviously more cost-effective than "taking half of the truck as bait and bringing back the other half" in the captain's mind.

As for those who are left behind, don't worry, your family will get your pension.

Hearing the harsh curses coming from the wrecked vehicle, the escort captain remained unmoved, but blindly ordered the convoy to disperse at a faster speed, and not to entangle with the underground enemies.

He already recognized what it was—a sandworm.

Since the Freemasons dared to dig in the desert, they naturally knew something about the overlord here. Although the sandworms are violent, as long as they leave their territory quickly, the sandworms will stop chasing them.

As long as you stop the loss in the middle, you must not provoke the giant beasts in the ground.

Soon, the second and third trucks were overturned by sandworms and remained in this desert forever, but the frequency of losses was completely bearable.

Just when the Masonic leader thought it was safe to get rid of the sandworm attack,
boom--!
A second sandworm appeared, then a third, a fourth...

In less than a minute, the convoy was killed by four sandworms of different sizes.

The team leader's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered the convoy to turn around and flee towards the deserted valley with a hard gravel ground in the opposite direction.

The sandworm was chasing after him, but the attack frequency was much slower.

The Masonic convoy thought it was the sandworms who were tired, and happily rushed into a valley made of red rocks with only two-thirds of the convoy left.

Sure enough, the sandworms in the rear didn't go deep into the hard rocky area, they went back dragging their prey one after another, and disappeared into the desert.

The escort team members who survived the catastrophe let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly slumped on their seats.

The quality of the team leader should be higher, and he must observe the surrounding environment mentally.

what!
The terrain here is actually very suitable for ambushes. If the desert bandits ambushes an army here, they will surely catch us all in one go!
Wait, ambush?
The captain's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, the scene suddenly changed.

boom--!boom--!
Two loud bangs sounded in succession, causing the team leader's expression to froze immediately, the expression of disbelief was almost uglier than crying.

Severe smoke and dust rose from the front and rear of the convoy, and large disintegrated rocks rolled down, blocking the end of the canyon and blocking the treasure transport convoy in an instant.

"Captain, there are a lot of falling rocks, we are trapped!"

Hearing the bad news, the captain's heart was completely cold, and he didn't even notice his trembling hands.

It's over, now I'm really a turtle!
There must be something wrong with the sandworm just now, how could it be so coincidental to force the convoy into the ambush circle, this must be a trap!
"There is an ambush! Quickly, release the drone and seize the high ground on both sides!"

At the critical moment, the strong desire to survive made the Masonic leader's mind turn, and he picked up the horn and shouted loudly.

Because the electromagnetic interference has not completely subsided, his voice is intermittent and a little out of tune, which sounds as funny as crying and howling wolves.

But the soldiers with the car still understood, and instantly understood their situation.

Escort troops are not freelancers, on the contrary, they are all well-trained elites of the Freemasonry, and the captains of each team are official guards of the Freemasonry.

There was no need for the team leader to elaborate, the tops of the trucks opened one after another, and suicide drones wobbled up from inside.

"God bless, you must hold on..."

Looking at the crooked drone, the hearts of the escorting troops suddenly rose to their throats.

Finally, after half of the drones fell, the remaining drones finally broke through the bottom of the valley and flew to the tops of the mountains on both sides, staring at the strong interference.

However, the expected ambush did not appear, and there was nothing around, as if the valleys on both sides exploded by themselves.

"How the hell is that possible?"

The team leader glanced at the time anxiously. There were still 21 minutes until the end of the natural disaster, and the truce was in sync with it.

Calm down and think about it, the oracle's definition of truce is to prohibit armed conflict involving more than a hundred people, and whether it was a sandworm attack or a falling rock blocking the road just now, it obviously did not exceed this limit.

The leader immediately understood that the enemy who hadn't shown up was waiting for time.

After waiting for the last 21 minutes, you can launch a fatal attack on the convoy without any scruples!

"Damn!"

The pressure of death made the team leader and his subordinates sweat profusely, holding the steel gun tightly in their hands.

The leader's brain was racing.

Need help?
No, there is no reply to the remote communication now. Even if the lighthouse colony receives the signal, it can only use a few armed rotorcraft. If it is discovered and shot down by the Shenzhou colony, the consequences will be disastrous.

So I can only save myself...

"Brothers, we only have the last 18 minutes, listen to my order: the marines get out of the car with weapons! The engineers will immediately check for explosives! Hurry up!"

The team leader shouted loudly.

boom!
The doors of the armored vehicles opened one after another, and heavily armed soldiers came out one after another.

He first assigned more than half of the soldiers and asked them to climb to the tops of the mountains on both sides with the help of powered exoskeletons to seize the commanding heights.

Then order the transport vehicles to be arranged in two rows, and use the vehicle body to build a simple position in the limited space.

Then, he ordered the drones to be taken back temporarily, because in this moment alone, another dozen drones lost control, and they couldn't afford to lose them.

In the end, the team leader ran to the No. 25 and No. 27 delivery cars in person, and led people to tinker inside.

Time passed by,

The performance of the Masonic exoskeleton is good. With a strong output, even if the rock wall is steep, it can be climbed up with a rifle on its back.

It took more than ten minutes for the climbing soldiers to finally reach the top of the mountain. What they saw was a desolate gravel beach, and they didn't see any ghosts.

But they didn't care too much, they spread out and fell down on the spot, holding guns on the gravel beach without a bunker to guard their surroundings.

Even if the parts not protected by the exoskeleton were bleeding from the gravel, no one dared to stand up.

"As soon as the shield disappears, immediately ask for help from Dawn Colony and ask them to send warships over! I don't care how they deal with the people in Shenzhou, the support must arrive within 15 minutes, otherwise let them collect the corpse for us!"

The team leader turned his head and gave serious instructions to the deputy beside him, who nodded approvingly, wishing to change the reinforcement time to less than 5 minutes.

tick...

1 minute countdown... 20 seconds... time is up!

"Fire quickly, suppress the firepower, don't stop!"

The Masonic soldiers had enough ammunition. Because they were equipped with exoskeletons, less than half of them were equipped with belt machine guns. With an order, the dense fire nets immediately tore through the air on the hills on both sides, setting off a large cloud of smoke and dust.

Even at the moment before firing, there was nothing in sight.

The sound of violent firing gave the team leader a sense of security. Seeing the gradually recovering signal, he ordered the re-release of the drone while looking expectantly at the deputy who called the headquarters.

After a few seconds, the deputy's face changed suddenly, and all the blood faded.

"what happened?"

The leader anxiously slapped the deputy, but the deputy still had a desperate expression: "Our distress signal has been hijacked, the enemy has tampered with our coordinates, and our vehicle equipment cannot break through the blockade!"

"Oh, God……"

The team leader felt a chill in his heart, "There will be no more reinforcements."

Just as despair rose from the bottom of my heart, there was a sudden muffled sound in the distance.

"Bombardment!"

The rich experience made the team leader subconsciously shout out.

In the next second, shells rained down from the sky. The shells were not very powerful, they were just ordinary mortars, but for soft targets that lacked protection, the raging shock waves and shrapnel instantly swept across the mountain tops on both sides.

Before seeing the enemy, the soldiers who had worked so hard to climb up were overturned by the air waves and fell back into the valley screaming, bloody and bloody.

A long-planned ambush broke out in an instant.

Well-prepared ambushers do not need to get close to the ambushing soldiers. They only need to bombard the elements according to the settings, and they can easily harvest the vital forces in the valley.

The fact is exactly the same, the Masonic convoy was hit hard almost immediately after being attacked, and the scene took a turn for the worse.

At the same time, the headquarters of Dawn Colony, which received a false distress signal, immediately dispatched a frigate to rescue. This was the result of an emergency consultation with Shenzhou.

Just as the frigate was flying across the strait, the alarm on the frigate suddenly rang.

Enemy attack!
