Chapter 426: Assault Boat
Translator: 549690339
The rain on the sea became heavier.
The vanguard of the counterattack army had already left the safety zone of the island chain.
Looking down from the sky, the hundreds of assault boats looked like a dense school of sardines.
The alchemical assault boat of the Freedom Army was Qian Bukui’s proudest creation in his early years.
There were three types of alchemy arrays etched on it. It could open a defensive shield that could block an attack from an A-grade exotic beast, and it could also instantly unleash an A-grade acceleration. Finally, there was a self-destruct array.
Once the soldiers on the assault boats realized that they could not defeat the enemy and had no hope of escaping, they could at least activate the self-destruct program and give the enemy a hard blow.
Deercry was wearing a standard military uniform and had a fish bone in his mouth as he sat at the front of the alchemy assault boat.
“F * ck, are those bureaucrats in the General Staff Department eating sh * t? You can’t even predict the weather?” After wiping the rain off his face, Deercry patted the assault boat.” Even if we can’t predict it, can’t we let water-type ability users temporarily change the weather?”
Wu Mei looked at the raindrops that kept falling from the sky and muttered, “”Rainy days are not bad either. At least it’s a little cooler. ”
“Hehe, don’t you hate the rain the most? Why are you so nervous?”
Actually, Lu Ming was not disgusted by the rain. Although the rain that filled the sky blocked his vision, with the help of the tactical goggles, he could still clearly see the situation in front of him.
He was throwing a tantrum so that the atmosphere on the assault boat would not be too lifeless.
Didn’t you see that those brats ‘faces were all pale?
“Huahua, this is your first mission, right?”
Deercry and the others found a windproof corner for Huahua, so she was the only person on the boat who did not get wet.
She even used her superpower to weave vines under her feet to block the rainwater from flowing back, so the socks on her feet were also very dry.
Unlike other people, if they turned the Sea Boots upside down, a lot of rain would flow out.
“Yes, Captain.”
Flowey replied in a low voice. The first day of the war happened to be her period. Although the Freedom Army had special medical methods that could delay the inconvenience of the female soldier to a few months later, she always felt that her lower abdomen was slightly twitching.
Maybe it was a psychological effect caused by nervousness?
“Maybe today is the day you get rid of the title of new recruit! “Deercry spat out the fishbone in its mouth and stared ahead.
On the surface of the sea, a half-meter-tall fin was exposed and was approaching the vanguard.
“Sound the alarm and inform our comrades in the rear. Brats, cheer up. The mutated beasts are here! ”
Deercry made arrangements in an orderly manner. From his tone, one could not hear the nervousness of encountering exotic beasts at all. Instead, he was a little relaxed.
Perhaps his emotions disturbed his comrades around him. In addition to Wu Mei, the younger members accurately completed his instructions.
“Activate the shield first.’ Deercry instructed indifferently.
“Now?”
The team member was a little surprised. He had to activate the shield so early? If the energy was used up, there would be nothing left!
Lu Ming did not say a word and covered the team member’s head.” Have you forgotten what we practiced? Don’t doubt or question the orders of your superiors! ”
“Yes, sir! Captain!”
A light blue light curtain appeared from the edge of the alchemical assault boat and enveloped it.
Even the rain outside was isolated.
The shape of the shield exposed on the surface of the sea was a hemisphere. In fact, half of it was still under the surface of the sea. Its purpose was naturally to resist attacks under the sea.
On the hundreds of alchemical boats of the vanguard, only a few shields lit up.
Deercry did not care about the energy consumption. He had secretly calculated the losses in the past. Many of the destroyed assault boats had almost never activated their shields. Obviously, many times, humans had died under the mentality of luck.
Sizzle…
Deercry’s communication was connected. The voice came from the assault boat, Puffs, 20 meters away.
“Captain Lu Ming, where did you see the enemy?”
“First Lieutenant Zooey, an exotic beast appeared in the three o’clock direction, three hundred meters away.”
“Can you tell the type and level of the mutated beast?”
“B-rank exotic beast, suspected to be the Mantha Black Whale. Please be on your guard! ”
“You guys pulled up the protective shield? It was too early! This was used to defend against A-rank exotic beasts. If you opened it for a B-rank exotic beast, what would happen after that?”
First Lieutenant Zooey said casually. His team had gone through three exotic beast battles and only suffered 20% losses. This was all thanks to his ability to arrange resources reasonably.
Good steel should be used on the blade.
Deercry said indifferently, “To be safe, I’ll drive first.
He did not suggest that the other party be like him. Although his military rank was higher, both of them were team leaders.
Those who could become team leaders were all elites in the army. Naturally, they could judge the situation on their own.
Besides, giving advice to others rashly would cause resentment. Many ability soldiers in the army were conceited people.
“Alright, keep in touch.”
The assault boat on the Puff still didn’t light up with its blue shield. Perhaps it was because First Lieutenant Zooey didn’t want to waste precious energy on a B-grade exotic beast. After all, this shield could withstand an attack from an A-grade exotic beast. It could save her life at a critical moment.
The vanguard continued to advance according to the plan. If nothing unusual happened on their side, the alchemical warships carrying a large number of troops would continue to follow them and rush straight to Crimson Frost Island.
As time passed, the rain in the sky became lighter. One-third of the energy of the transparent barrier had been consumed.
“Did I see things just now?”
Even Deercry began to doubt his decision. If he turned off the shield now, he could still save two-thirds of the energy.
Just as he was about to order his team members to turn off the shield, something strange happened.
The dark surface of the sea suddenly lit up, as if there was a spiderweb-like electric current flashing under the surface of the sea.
Then, a three-meter-tall wave suddenly appeared and pressed against the entire vanguard from the right!contemporary romance
Roaring–!!
One after another, strange beasts broke out of the sea and rushed toward them.
“Look at the Puffs…!! ”
Flowey covered her mouth with her left hand and pointed at Puff with her right hand.
Under the puff, there was obviously a light source that gathered energy!
Lu Ming quickly picked up the call.” First Lieutenant Zooey, activate the shield!
Activate the shield!”
Unfortunately, everyone’s attention was focused on the approaching exotic beasts from the flanks. They didn’t expect that a portion of the exotic beasts had already escaped the radar detection and appeared below the assault boat!
Gulp, gulp, gulp… *
The seawater under the Puff bubbled, and a bolt of lightning shot into the sky.
Zooey’s team on the ship was instantly electrocuted into charcoal, leaving only broken limbs floating on the surface of the sea!
“Damn it, concentrate your firepower and attack the target under the sea! ” Although he could not see the origin of the black shadow, Deercry did not hesitate to give the order to attack!
Wind blades shot out of the sea along with the fireballs!
