Steel torrents pioneering a different world

Chapter 110 I think the bomb's destructive power is slightly insufficient! (Bonus chapter for two chapters, please subscribe)
Another world!
The atmosphere inside the command center was so heavy it could be squeezed out of you.

Su Mingjin's knuckles unconsciously tapped lightly on the control panel, making a monotonous "tap, tap" sound. Her eyes, like those of the other brigade commanders, were fixed on the huge electronic sand table.

The intelligence gathered from the nearly half-hour saturation attack weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

Although the blizzard slowed things down, there were too many enemies.

Based on the number of injuries, it can cause a maximum of five percent of the damage.

The powerful artillery has a wide coverage area, but this powerful weapon is designed to target organic life forms.

When an enemy target is missing an arm or a leg, or even has a head injury, yet can still wield their weapon, the power of those high-powered weapons is greatly reduced.

A single 155mm shell can cover an area equivalent to a football field, but against the skeletons of the undead, it can only shatter the undead corpses with an absolute shockwave within a 15-meter radius.

The undead's characteristics allow them to continuously launch attacks without inflicting fatal wounds.

Just like the ability to love in certain special groups!
This makes traditional bomb-based ground sweeping less effective.

Those strange necromancers are the core of controlling the skeletons, but they are extremely cunning. From the moment they discovered that humans have ranged attacks, they became even more elusive than Teemo hiding in the bushes.

To destroy the enemy, the only option is to rely on full artillery coverage.

The power of modern weapons lies in their accuracy. However, in terms of range and shell power, they are slightly inferior to those of World War II era.

To destroy so many scattered enemies, we would need to increase modern firepower by at least twenty times, or even more, in terms of firepower delivery capabilities.

This is clearly not acceptable.

Even if the military brings over old equipment that was mothballed decades ago and uses up its stockpile, the consumption of weapons and ammunition would still be an extremely large expense.

With the power of precision long-range artillery shells, a single shell costs 500,000 RMB or more, and even more powerful shells can cost over a million RMB – enough for a house in a small county town.

The enemy is gathering in increasing numbers and getting closer. The southern bird and beast tide has also been fully assembled, forming a dark mass that could launch a general attack on the base at any moment!

Although they can unleash deadly, wide-area attacks instantly, they came to explore this other world!
It's easy to just throw mushrooms around, but when it comes to dealing with the deadly radiation afterwards, they'll all be completely silent.

For this reason, the military now has to use Truth-class weapons with caution.

Achieve the greatest results with the least cost.

This is what the troops need to consider right now.

"I wonder if the air defense network can withstand it..."

After discovering that the birds in the other world could be controlled, they urgently installed an air defense network.

But who could have imagined that the other side would be able to gather such a terrifying number of troops?

Everyone now regrets that they didn't have enough anti-bird equipment and firing positions. If they had more firepower and more powerful shells, the enemy would definitely be dealt a heavy blow.

Not far away, Brigade Commander Fu paced back and forth anxiously, his rugged face full of worry.

"Still no news from Xiao Zhao and the others? They've been out of contact for almost forty minutes!"

"Report: Unable to contact them!"

Just then, a burst of rapid electrical noise came through the communication channel. The dispatcher was jolted and almost instinctively pressed the connect button.

"Command center! Command center! This is Zhao Chong! Damn it, the signal's finally working!"

"Zhao Chong! Report your situation!" Brigade Commander Man rushed to the communicator and shouted.

"Report! We were ambushed on our way back. We are currently replenishing our ammunition at the B5 logistics camp. We are safe for now, but we are surrounded!"

Zhao Chong's voice was hoarse, with the background filled with the impenetrable roar of gunfire.

He quickly informed the command center of his situation.

"So many undead have crept over? Do you need fire support?"

"Required! Coordinates: 150 meters outside Camp B5, five rounds of saturation coverage! Requesting the use of white phosphorus bombs and cluster bombs! Thermobaric and incendiary bombs are also acceptable. We are currently under attack by thousands of undead!"

Zhao Chong took a deep breath and quickly dropped a bombshell.

"By the way, these undead will reassemble after being shattered! Headquarters, the undead will reassemble and regain their mobility after being shattered; only fire can destroy them. They are extremely dangerous."

"Headquarters, please burn all those undead material samples stored in the warehouse! Repeat, burn them all! That stuff is dangerous!"

The command center fell into a deathly silence.

The undead corpses stored separately in the warehouse were actually time bombs?

The opponent can actually resurrect and launch an attack?

The other party was actually hiding their strength?
"Received!" Su Mingjin's voice was frighteningly calm. "I'll send someone to handle it immediately! What new discoveries have you made? Is it still possible to withdraw them now?"

"We can't retreat! Looking out from B5, the road is full of undead. We can only hold our ground at the camp."

"Artillery support will arrive within three minutes! Take cover!"

"Understood!" Zhao Chong's voice came again. "Command, we've encountered something new! A giant made of ice, snow, and skeletons, about five meters tall, that can throw stones from a distance! Some crows have also been turned into undead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blurry combat video was transmitted back.

In the wind and snow, several enormous creatures made of ice crystals and bones appeared and disappeared, running and hurling huge rocks toward the camp. Machine gun bullets hit them, exploding into clumps of debris, but the ice crystals and bones quickly wriggled and reformed.

"We spotted these things before, thanks for the reminder. Be careful of artillery fire!"

"understand!"

"Artillery!" A cold glint flashed in Su Mingjin's eyes as she issued the order directly, "Coordinates B5 area! Blast those skeletons that dare to attack our comrades to smithereens!" Her order was given without the slightest hesitation.

The self-propelled howitzer positions deployed around the base immediately adjusted their angles, raised their muzzles, and emitted a deafening roar!

Dozens of shells tore through the wind and snow, carrying a deathly shriek, precisely covering the area surrounding Zhao Chong's squad.

The towering flames instantly turned the pale world orange-red, and the flames of the white phosphorus bombs, like hellfire, devoured swarms of charging undead and frost giants.

The cluster bomb's detonation unleashed a devastating storm of metal.

Amidst the explosions, those fearless spirits were torn to pieces and then burned to charcoal.

"Bomb! Great bomb!" Zhao Chong couldn't help but laugh out loud on the comms as he watched the enemy engulfed in flames on the monitor. "Give those bastards a few more rounds!"

The artillery fire continued for a full three minutes.

After the final round of shelling ended, the command post re-established communication.

"What's going on now?"

"Great!" Zhao Chong's laughter was filled with the exhilaration of surviving a disaster. "The comrades are getting ready to go out and snipe the necromancer. Artillery support will be temporarily suspended!"

"Please contact us anytime if you need artillery support!"

"Understood. We have enough ammunition here; we can take it a few more times!"

The communication was temporarily disconnected, and the atmosphere in the command center eased slightly.

The headquarters of the interdimensional exploration team.

The joy of providing artillery support to Zhao Chong's squadron was shattered in the command center in less than three minutes by a sharp alarm.

"Report! The visual surveillance system on the southern border of the camp is malfunctioning!"

An intelligence gatherer looked at the latest data, his voice trembling.

"Large-scale flight units detected! The number... the number is incalculable! They really have arrived!"

He sent the latest information to the central electronic sand table.

Soon, the area representing the south was instantly dyed a shocking blood red and blue.

Red indicates high-threat targets, mainly flocks of birds, while blue indicates ground-based animal swarms.

The anti-jamming video surveillance system, deployed by the General Staff at great cost to combat this damned blizzard, is now transmitting its final images—

A wall made up of countless kinds of birds, moving at high speed, almost blotting out the sky.

The birds are hurtling towards the camp at high speed!

The ground-based visual surveillance system wanted to capture even more footage as hundreds and thousands of birds flew in.

Then countless birds flapped their wings, the surveillance camera shook violently, and then rolled to the ground.

At the end of the video, a large amount of bird droppings fell, obscuring the camera lens!

Seeing the scene completely transformed into a mess of bird droppings, Su Mingjin frowned deeply.

Everyone in the command center would change their expression upon seeing this.

The atmosphere, which had eased slightly after Zhao Chong's team was rescued, froze, becoming even colder than the wind and snow outside.

"Those birds are deliberately and systematically destroying our video surveillance network!"

"We dissected their bodies and confirmed that they were not very intelligent. The scientists' speculation was correct; they were clearly controlled by some god in the south."

"Controlling so many birds, the power of magic is truly enviable!"

Su Mingjin glanced subconsciously at the clock on the wall, then looked out the window.

The sky was darkening at a visible speed; the solar eclipse had begun. In another hour, the sun would be completely swallowed up, and the world would be plunged into endless darkness.

The undead launched a feint attack, while the flock of birds launched the main attack, deliberately choosing to strike during a solar eclipse.

Haha, what a clever scheme.

"Commander Su, please apply for Miss Qiu's marriage!"

"Comrade Man, now is not the time. This tactic is too extreme! It is not conducive to the sustainable development of the otherworld and the green development plan. We must not act until a crisis occurs."

She took a deep breath and decisively gave the order.

"Air defense units shall execute the airspace clearance plan according to the previously rehearsed scheme. Don't hold back on air defense weapons; I want to ensure not a single one of them gets into the camp!"

Su Mingjin shifted her gaze from the main screen to a corner of the sand table, where a unit was protected by a special mark.

She picked up the communicator, her voice eerily calm, "Notify Miss Qiu's security team to send them the real-time coordinates of the Undead Catastrophe."

She paused, a cold smile curving her lips.

"The guests are almost all here. Let's open the eyes of those skeletons who have never seen the world."

"Let them see what truth is."

"The beast tides and birds of another world are all valuable resources for our family. In the future, they may even become our national treasures and top tourist attractions! So, if we can avoid destroying them, we should!"

Hearing Su Mingjin's words, everyone present laughed.
