Chapter 548: The Spider Queen is the strong one, what does it have to do with you?
For the soldiers of Shelter No. 8.
The attack on Shelter No. 36 was indeed fierce, and the coordination between the various arms was excellent.
But they believed that as long as these infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed, the soldiers of Shelter No. 36 would collapse without a fight.
An infantry fighting vehicle turned its turret, trying to destroy this brave power armor, but its turret was hit continuously by the machine gun and it was unable to lock onto the target well.
At maximum power, the cables and mechanical muscles throughout the power armor released a massive amount of heat, and the oil cooling system had no time to dissipate it. The temperature in the cockpit had already risen to an unbearable 50 degrees Celsius. The pilot was already soaked in sweat, but his face was filled with fanatical devotion.
"The Spider Queen is with me!"
The platoon leader of the shelter told him that as long as he died fighting for the Spider Queen, he would be able to serve the Spider Queen forever along with the warriors in history. Therefore, in his view, death is not the end but the beginning.
He put the side of the infantry fighting vehicle into the crosshairs of the machine gun on the power armor helmet display. As long as he pulled the trigger, he could easily destroy this expensive battlefield vehicle.
At this moment, an armored off-road vehicle suddenly rushed out from the slope, hit the waist of the power armor hard, and pushed it flat against the wall.
"go to hell!"
The soldier driving the armored off-road vehicle stepped on the accelerator. The sound of the engine was like the roar of a giant beast, and the tires rubbed against the ground, making a sharp scream.
The furious power armor driver pulled the trigger at the armored off-road vehicle. The machine gun roared, easily tearing through the bulletproof glass and tearing the driver inside into pieces.
Even so, the armored SUV still held its power armor firmly against the wall. Although the soldier was already dead, his foot was still firmly on the accelerator.
The driver turned his gun, hoping to destroy the armored vehicle's engine, but it was too late. The infantry fighting vehicle blasted him to pieces in the cockpit.
This defeat dampened the morale of the soldiers of Shelter 8, but they were soon rekindled. Charging velociraptors joined the fray. These terrifying creatures moved with astonishing speed, their sharp claws leaving a trail of claw marks on the ground.
"Roar!!!"
A cavalryman roared, took the lead, and swung his saber to cut a soldier from Shelter No. 36 into two pieces.
Although he was quickly killed by the whistling hail of bullets, more cavalry rushed out from behind him. All the soldiers of Shelter No. 36 present had expressions of despair on their faces. They had tried their best, but they were simply unable to resist the enemy before them.
At that moment, the charging bio-raptors were suddenly swept down by a hail of bullets. Several power armors were hit simultaneously, the highly penetrating armor-piercing rounds piercing through them directly.
The sudden fire caught the soldiers of Shelter No. 8 off guard, causing heavy losses. Most of them didn't even know who fired the shot before they died.
The infantry fighting vehicle directly rammed the building blocking its path. Its autoloader, operating at full capacity, unleashed deadly rounds upon rounds, its barrels even emitting white smoke from overheating. The power armor, using its high mobility, began to maneuver, outflanking the rear of all the Shelter 8 cavalry.
Shen Bei sat in an armored off-road vehicle, looking at the battlefield ahead, his face somewhat grim. The casualties in this battle were far greater than in previous battles, and had reached the point of serious damage.
The only consolation was that the enemy's defensive positions had been captured, and all the mobile forces in the back mountain were surrounded by them, making it impossible to escape.
The helicopter that had been hovering in the airspace had returned. It still had plenty of energy, but its ammunition had been exhausted. There was no need to stay in the air, lest it become a target that could not fight back.
The biochemical velociraptor cavalry was still struggling, charging left and right, trying to break through the blockade. Unfortunately, it was ultimately futile. With each charge, some of the cavalry fell forever. Soon, they were completely wiped out.
Their bodies fell to the ground, and the air was filled with the unique fishy smell of the biochemical velociraptor's blood.
A fallen biochemical velociraptor howled, a massive, penetrating wound across its chest, its foul-smelling entrails oozing from the wound. The wound throbbed violently, its tenacious vitality allowing the beast to linger for hours.
Shen Bei pointed the gun at its eyes.
The beast stared at Shen Bei with its cold vertical pupils, suddenly jumped up from the ground, opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, and wanted to bite off Shen Bei's head.
"Oh!"
With a gunshot, the bullet penetrated the biochemical velociraptor's eyes, rolled and bounced in its skull, and completely took its life.
Shen Bei kicked its head, confirming it was dead. Although these ferocious beasts were on the verge of death, they could still pose a huge threat to the soldiers.
Medics from the Niuben Research Institute were treating the wounded. There were still survivors among the wreckage of the power armor. They used welding to cut open the cockpit, which had been stuck due to distortion, and rescued the seriously injured inside. Due to a shortage of medical equipment, they could only provide basic treatment to control the injuries.
All the wounded were gathered together, and helicopters would arrive to transport them to the Titan Biological Research Institute in the rear for further treatment. Not all of the wounded could survive, and one soldier's aorta was severed, and he was afraid that he would not have much time left.
The soldiers were resting and inspecting their weapons. This was especially true for the power armor and infantry fighting vehicles. After such intense fighting, these complex, heavy weapons had experienced minor glitches, requiring replacement parts, refueling, and recharging before they could resume their combat operations.
The battle is not over yet. They will not be able to rest for long and will soon launch an attack on the garrison of Shelter No. 8 in the back mountain.
Shen Bei knew that time was running out and he had to capture the back mountain before the reinforcements from Shelter No. 8 arrived. They had already penetrated Shelter No. 8's defenses and were considered a thorn in the side of Shelter No. 8. Soon, the commander of Shelter No. 8 would mobilize troops to eliminate them.
Only by taking over the rear mountain and establishing a fixed stronghold could the Air Force transport a large amount of supplies and troops, strengthen the stronghold, firmly pin it down in this area, and use it as a springboard to rescue the besieged commandos. They could attack when advancing and defend when retreating, thus taking the strategic initiative.
Shen Bei looked toward the nearby mountain behind him. The visor on his helmet zoomed in, allowing him to discern every movement within the camp without the need for binoculars. He was determining the location of the airstrike.
The people in Shelter No. 8 were in a state of panic. The loss of their biochemical velociraptors and power armor had thrown them off balance. Without these highly mobile troops, they were like having a leg severed. They could only huddle in the camp, passively waiting for Shen Bei to launch an attack, completely losing their initiative.
Intelligence about air support arrived over the communications system. Shelter No. 36's leadership clearly hadn't anticipated Shen Bei's ability to pull off such a feat with such limited forces. They'd assumed the unit would either be annihilated after leaving the outpost, or retreat to Titan No. after a brief defensive rotation. They'd never imagined they could actually reach the rear mountain.
After all, they are Shelter No. 8, with the Spider Queen backing them up. Anyone who jumps back and forth is simply courting death.
And now, Shelter No. 36 gave them a hard slap in the face.
The Spider Queen is the strong one, what does it have to do with you?
Therefore, they increased their air support, and soon, strategic bombers would arrive to provide air support. The ammunition they carried at one time was enough to flatten the entire back mountain.
