The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 260 259. Pointless Resistance

From a visual perspective, the United Government's Aerospace Forces warship cluster's attack on the Zerg swarm on the surface of the Administrative Star was a complete success.

Almost all areas where swarms of more than one million people gathered were hit by at least one strategic nuclear warhead.

More than 4,000 nuclear weapons with a yield of more than one million tons exploded almost at the same time.

Almost half of the land area of ​​the Administrative Planet was greatly affected by this unprecedented nuclear attack.

The high temperature and high pressure coupled with the violent shock wave instantly evaporated the dense swarms of insects on the surface.

This does not even take into account the impact of geological and meteorological disasters caused by the concentrated explosion of large numbers of nuclear bombs on the administrative planet.

The Arach Zerg suffered their heaviest losses since entering the Thraide system.

After assessing the extent of the disaster on the administrative planet's surface, the Aerospace Force's intelligence monitoring department concluded that the Arazi Zerg no longer posed a lethal threat.

But no one could have imagined that the Zerg troops lurking beneath the surface were not at all deterred by the horrific strategic nuclear strikes of human civilization.

In other words, they don't have any fear at all.

It can even be said that behind the Zerg, the senior command units that actually control the operations of the grassroots Arach Zerg have a strong desire for revenge.

After more than 4,000 strategic nuclear bombs exploded, the surviving Arazi long-range strategic strike force: the plasma worm force, was ordered to immediately launch a strike on the aerospace warship force stationed in outer space.

Thousands of dazzling blue plasma balls spurted out from the ground like meteors, breaking through the air towards the fleet of warships.

"An energy group attack has been detected on the way. All warships and units are activating energy shield protection at full power.

Be prepared for a collision emergency..."

Personnel on the Aerospace Force warships can even observe the movements below with their naked eyes.

Those energy balls that broke through the radioactive dust and volcanic ash clouds were rushing towards the space battleships with unstoppable force.

Various urgent alarms sounded in the space battleships. The blue and red siren alarm lights were extremely harsh, making people feel uneasy.

The light blue translucent energy shield was quickly activated, and the warships with the highest level of protection were closely arranged to provide protection for the transport ships and personnel landing ships in the rear.

Not long after, balls of plasma energy broke through the constraints of the atmosphere, reached outer space, and hit the warships in the protective formation.

The moment it touched the energy shield, the blue plasma energy ball exploded instantly.

Releases a terrifying explosive energy shock.

Fortunately, the energy shield is reliable enough when it is activated at full power, and water-wave-like ripples continue to appear on the surface of the shield.

However, they were never able to break through this thin layer of protection and cause casualties to the warships and personnel inside the shield.

The anxious hearts of many senior officers in the Aerospace Force Command finally settled down.

Although according to the artificial intelligence's assessment of the ground energy strike group, the energy shield of the space battleship can easily defend against it.

But after all, this was the first time that the United Government's Aerospace Forces had a "space showdown" with the Arazi Zerg.

Neither of them understands the depth of each other.

The order received by the Aerospace Force was to guard the transport ships and landing ships and provide fire support for the interstellar legions landing on the ground.

In addition, after turning on the full-power energy shield, the energy supply of the battleship's power system is greatly reduced.

So the Aerospace Force Command decided to maintain the status quo.

But this does not mean that they will stay where they are and take the beating in vain.

"Mark the exact location of the enemy plasma worm attack cluster.

After confirmation, launch a counterattack immediately! "

The radiation mushroom cloud formed by the nuclear explosion and the volcanic ash emitted by the volcanic eruption greatly reduce the outer space's ability to detect the earth's surface.

It also provides a layer of "fog of war" for the Arazi Zerg long-range strike forces.

This is a problem for the United Government's Aerospace Forces, but that's all.

Hypersonic space reconnaissance aircraft, unmanned detection aircraft, high-penetration full-band radar...

The United Government's Aerospace Force has a variety of means to locate those alien bugs on the administrative planet who dare to attack them.

However, before truly dealing with these guys who can threaten the safety of the Aerospace Forces, the Interstellar Legion soldiers who have already landed on the surface will have to rely on their own strength to hold on for a while.

Zhang Xiaoqiang and a group of soldiers of the Dragon Flame Interstellar Legion had no idea what was happening in outer space.

At this point they were completely bloodthirsty.

The twenty-meter-high metal walls were filled with interstellar legionnaires wielding bolters, chainswords, melta axes, and swords.

The demon-like Arachnid war bugs in the eyes of the natives were as fragile as a large livestock in front of these double-hearted and heavily armored interstellar legion warriors.

An ordinary caliber automatic rifle fired two magazines in succession at the fatal parts of the Arazi war bug.

The opponent can still struggle and fight for dozens of seconds before completely dying.

This has caused despair among countless Aboriginal security personnel.

But in the hands of the Space Marines, a close-range explosive bomb is enough to flip over the head skeleton of an Arachnid war insect.

The chopped blow from the Melta Axe was like an amputation surgery on the Arazi warbug.

What really troubles the Space Marines is not the individual combat effectiveness of the Arachnids, but their terrifying numbers.

After the firepower support from the Aerospace Forces, most of the insect swarms that had flooded into the residential area had been cleared out, turning it into a hell of burnt and smelly insect corpses.

However, in just half an hour, the originally empty residential area was once again filled with a massive swarm of insects.

The Arazi war bugs launched their charges relentlessly, so much so that after they were killed on the city walls, their bodies were piled up under the walls, forming gentle slopes.

There were only a few Aboriginal guards left on the city walls.

In addition to those who were killed by the insects that climbed onto the city walls, there were also quite a few who were frightened out of their wits, cowered away from the fight, and even tried to escape from the city walls.

When faced with deserters, the Interstellar Corps inherited its approach from the United Government Army.

The reserve soldiers of the Dragon Flame Legion who were in charge of supervising the battle personally picked up these deserters, and then broke their cervical vertebrae while they begged for mercy or shouted insults.

He raised his foot and gave a struggling insect on the top of the city wall a hard hit, kicking it off the city wall.

Zhang Xiaoqiang took the flamethrower handed to him by the reserve soldier and began to spray at the "gentle slope of insect corpses" that was more than ten meters high below.

Guided by the flame nozzles, the gushing flammable liquid quickly ignited the insect corpses on the gentle slope below.

When burned at high temperatures, carbon-based proteins emit long-lasting thick smoke and a foul odor.

"Why are there so many of these damn bedbugs?"

He took off his helmet and spat fiercely at the burning pile of insect corpses. The strong stench forced Zhang Xiaoqiang to put on his helmet again.

The comrades around him did not answer this meaningless question.

Because everyone knows that the coalition government sent them to solve problems, not to raise questions.

Perhaps it was because the fighting power of the Interstellar Legion warriors was too terrifying. After nearly an hour of attack by the Arachi Zerg swarm and suffering tens of millions of casualties, they still failed to take the second city wall.

The surging swarm of insects suddenly slowed down.

However, before the Space Marines on the city walls could relax for long, buildings in the residential area in the distance began to break and collapse.

The surface of the ground also began to strangely develop large cracks and bulges, as if some terrifying monster was "coming out from under the ground".

"earthquake?"

"Oh no! It's a fucking tank bug!"

Although it was the first time that they participated in a large-scale battle between Arach Zerg, the soldiers of the Dragon Flame Star Legion had already known the relevant intelligence information. The tank worms, which weighed tens or hundreds of tons and could dig underground and move forward, were known as "fortification destroyers". They were indeed a great threat to the soldiers of the Star Legion.

Once the metal walls are gone as cover, even the Star Legion soldiers have superhuman combat power compared to ordinary people.

Faced with an endless swarm of insects, your chances of winning are still slim if you rely on yourself alone.

What's more, those reserve soldiers have never received the blessing of [God's Chosen Blessing].

Once surrounded by the insect swarm, heavy casualties will be the inevitable outcome.

The Dragon Flame Interstellar Legion, which adopts airborne combat methods, does not have the support of heavy war machines.

The air support called for had to be temporarily interrupted due to the attack by the plasma worm strategic forces.

Zhang Xiaoqiang stared at the tank worm that was slowly crawling underground in the distance.

The mission the legion commander had given him before the battle echoed in his ears.

Hold the second line of defense and persist until the mission target is successfully captured.

There was no time to hesitate. Zhang Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth, threw away the flamethrower in his hand, and took out a tactical nuclear bomb launcher from the weapons box behind him.

The large warhead means that the launcher cannot accommodate another spare bullet.

In fact, there is no need for it, because its terrifying power is enough to melt all Zerg creatures currently known to the United Government.

There were two portable bunker-buster bombs on his waist.

Then he controlled the power armor's jet device and jumped up from the metal wall.

“Come two teams, cover me!

Blast that thing out of the ground!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the twenty or so Star Legion soldiers closest to him also took off into the air without hesitation.

With the help of the power armor jet device, Zhang Xiaoqiang and his team soon appeared above the tank worm that was still crawling.

The tank worm's body is almost completely hidden underground, making it difficult to cause damage using conventional means of attack.

More than twenty legion soldiers quickly cleared out the swarm of insects that were madly pouring in from the surrounding areas.

Amid the continuous sound of explosive gunfire, Zhang Xiaoqiang inserted a portable bunker-buster bomb into the crack on the ground.

After a brief delay of a few seconds, there was a loud bang and the dust was blown into the air.

A hole with a diameter of about one meter and a depth of several meters also appeared on the ground.

The tank worms beneath the surface also let out muffled wails, trying to continue digging downwards to avoid the attack.

However, at this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang had already picked up the tactical nuclear bomb launcher, aimed it at the underground pit with a fierce look, and pressed the launch button.

"Everyone! Evacuate!

Retreat quickly! "

As the launch button was pressed, everyone also received the signal to evacuate.

The power of the power armor's jet device was instantly fully utilized, and more than 20 people took off into the air in the blink of an eye and evacuated to a safe area.

The tactical nuclear bomb with a 10-second delay exploded quickly. Even though they had evacuated two or three hundred meters, the people who had escaped from the air were still knocked down by the shock wave and fell inside the high wall.

The violent explosion of the micro-tactical nuclear bomb swept away the swarm of insects within a diameter of 200 meters, and turned them into ashes with the explosion of the huge fireball.

The tank worms crawling underground disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a terrifying crater more than ten meters deep.

The Space Legion soldiers in other defensive directions did not just stand there and watch. A series of tactical nuclear bomb roars continued to sound in the direction of the residential area.

After the threat of the tank bugs was temporarily resolved, the bugs swarmed over again.

After the nuclear explosion, the Zerg's attack became even more fierce.

The war bugs charged forward in waves.

There were also large numbers of "jumpers" launching death raids in the air.

Groups of "Rippers" continuously launched long-range corrosive insect thorns at the top of the city.

The Space Marines were once again caught in a bloody fight.

In the city's core administrative area, Corps Commander Liu Peiqiang also encountered unexpected troubles.

“The Earth Federation has made it clear that it is preparing for an expedition to the Arazi Zerg homeworld.

There is no spare capacity to support the Slade galaxy in the short term.

So where do you guys come from?
If I don’t get a satisfactory answer, I will never open the bunker door…”

What appeared before Liu Peiqiang was a carefully prepared bunker structure.

It is made entirely of high-strength composite metal materials and buried deep underground.

This is to prevent unexpected situations such as the current Zerg invasion.

Among the senior executives of Slade Mining Company, the first and second senior managers were on an interstellar spaceship, which was destroyed by a Zerg plasma energy group during launch.

Only the third-ranked senior executive was left frightened and hid in the bunker, waiting for rescue from the Earth Federation.

Liu Peiqiang originally wanted to pretend to be "Earth Federation reinforcements," but it was obvious that the top executives of the mining company were not as easy to fool as ordinary indigenous people.

After being exposed, he had no choice but to charge forward with his men, and all the indigenous security personnel who tried to intercept them were wiped out.

Liu Peiqiang was troubled for a moment when faced with the mining company executives who were hiding in the bunker like cowards.

The bunker is extremely sturdy and is designed to be impossible to open from the outside.

Liu Peiqiang was not worried about not being able to open it, but he was afraid that if he broke it violently, he would accidentally injure or kill the indigenous people who held high-value intelligence.

Then they would have worked in vain.

But right now, the legion soldiers on the second line of defense were in a tough battle, and Liu Peiqiang really didn't have the patience to continue wasting time with these cowardly natives.

A medium-sized nanoworm warhead was fired at the bunker.

The three-meter-thick metal door instantly corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The nanoworm warheads are incredibly powerful without the interrupt controller.

Metal materials are like cheese on charcoal fire and are vulnerable in front of nanoworm molecular robots.

Faced with the increasingly rapid metal corrosion, Liu Peiqiang seized the opportunity and rushed in.

Liu Peiqiang, who is blessed with the [God's Chosen Blessing], has a strong resistance to the devouring and decomposition of nanoworm molecular robots.

But the natives in the bunker were not so lucky.

Liu Peiqiang quickly identified several senior executives of mining companies in the intelligence materials.

Drag them out of the bunker.

At this time, they were also more or less contaminated with some nanoworm molecular robots.

The hair and skin on the body began to slowly dissolve. Although the speed was not as fast as the decomposition of metal, it still terrified the natives.

It was not until Liu Peiqiang used a biomass blade to cut off several arms and legs of the indigenous people that the decomposition of the nanoworms was stopped.

Looking at the aboriginal mining company executives lying on the ground and wailing, Liu Peiqiang curled his lips.

"Why would you surrender earlier? How shameless of you to surrender..."
