Chapter 662: The First Battle
ing, the Imperial Guard met with the Wise Counselor alone, their expression grave, and reported their findings:"Those five people were infected because the clothes they wore seemed to have been worn b..."Do as the ripples say!"
Carter glanced at William and said coldly.
William hesitated for a moment, but finally had to compromise.
All those who escaped ran on foot, but they had motorcycles, so in just six hours they reached the town, which was almost a ruin.
The middle-aged man leading the way refused to get close to the abandoned town. Without knowing the specifics, Carter's squad didn't move forward recklessly. They observed from a safe distance instead.
They saw swarms of black mosquitoes crawling all over town, making people's skin crawl and triggering intense fear in those with a phobia of crowds.
Carter put down the telescope in front of him and spoke directly to Ripple:
The swarm of black flies hasn't had time to nest yet, but there are too many of them for us to handle.
Ripples took the telescope from the other person's hand and looked at it. There were indeed a lot of them. If they rushed over, it would be easy to get caught in them. However, she had quite a bit of stock here, so dealing with this swarm of black mosquitoes should be no problem.
"Captain Carter, you guys must be mercenaries, right!"
The ripples asked an unrelated question.
Carter paused for a moment, then nodded.
"As for the use of hot weapons, there should be no problem, right"
The ripples continued to ask.
"Of course!"
This time Carter answered very definitively.
"No problem then! I got lucky and when I entered the game, I drew a big treasure chest. It had some heavy weapons inside. Just make sure you know how to use them, and I'll provide weapon support."
The ripples handed the telescope back to Carter, smiling.
In the proxy mission, Ripples acquired an entire cargo ship's worth of weaponry. After completing the task, these weapons were awarded to her and stored in her space as a reward. She rarely used them, but this time she decided to take out the heavy artillery to deal with these black mosquitoes.
Ripple's words made Carter's eyelids twitch, while William beside her eyed Ripple with suspicion, seemingly unable to believe she could produce a hot weapon.
"That was a town, and to wipe out those bugs, at least heavy weapons were needed."
Although Carter didn't finish his words, the meaning was clear.
So she directly waved her hand, taking out a row of long-range attack artillery and three heavy tanks from space. Ten air defense missiles, and then asked Carter:
Is this enough
At this time, all the members including Carter stared straight ahead, their jaws about to drop to the ground. One of the crew with a buzz cut and a scar whistled at the heavy tank, then eagerly clambered aboard, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
The other two burly, muscle-bound men were busy tinkering with the long-range cannons. With this weapon, they could attack without having to get close to the town.
Willie, with a complex expression, looked at the ripples. He said in a somewhat hesitant voice:
"You're lucky! I didn't see that coming!"
"That's right! My previous partner also said the same thing. After all, I am a kind person!"
Ripples blinked, and the next second she leaped onto the tank. With a flick of her wrist, the Death Silk shot out, entangling the black dot in the air. Ripples gave it a light tug, and the black dot plummeted downward. When it hit the ground, its head was already separated from its body.
And it wasn't just one, but a whole bunch of them, estimated to be around ten. And they were deader than dead. They were black flies, just this particular group was smaller, clearly the scout type.
It seems we need to act faster. These mosquitoes have already found us.
Ripple turned her wrist, swiftly retracting the Death Silk. Her display had effectively intimidated her comrades. William instinctively swallowed, some fear making him distance himself from the corpse of the Insectoid.
This time, everyone agreed. After discussing it, they decided to first attack with long-range artillery and missiles, and then the two of them would operate a tank together to go in for the kill, finishing things off. The plan was simple and brutal, but it was the most effective.
Since Ripples had already provided the weapons, she first chose a tank and drove into it. The rest was, of course, left to her adorable teammates.
Carter only then walked up to William and whispered,
Although she's a mid-level tasker, her combat strength is SSS-grade. You better keep your mouth and eyes shut, because if she wants to kill you, I can't stop her.
William's breath caught in his throat when he heard Carter's words. He felt like he had just danced with death and had an urge to slap himself. He thought he had chosen a docile rabbit to join him, only to realize that the rabbit was actually the big boss, now seemingly the invisible leader.
"William, why are you dawdling Hurry up!"
The sweet sound of ripples entered William's ears, but for William, it was like a death knell. He immediately responded:
"Cough, I'll be right there!"
William, after finishing his words, turned around and began to adjust his weapon, determined to make it a one-hit kill, proving his worth.
Ten minutes later, the town, already a black mosquito breeding ground, was subjected to an indiscriminate bombing. Not a single black mosquito that had gathered here escaped unscathed, as deafening explosions reverberated through every corner, sending flames soaring into the sky.
Those mosquitoes that hadn't yet taken flight were blown to pieces, and even those that were flying were engulfed by the flames of the explosion. There were shattered insect carcasses and scattered limbs everywhere. This day became the end for the mosquitoes.
While the black insects that had barely survived were being targeted by Kat's tank squad, they finally died outside the town. They littered the ground in a sea of darkness. The squad crushed them as they advanced, carrying out a second wave of bombardment on any insects that hadn't been completely killed.
Four hours later, the battle finally came to an end, and there wasn't a single black mosquito left in the air.
"Ding ding ding! Congratulations to Carter Squad, for annihilating the fastest-breeding black flies in the Wasteland World. The squad has gained 500,000 points. Keep up the good work!"
A prompt tone sounded in everyone's ears, letting them know they had actually wiped out the black mosquitoes.
"Miss Ripple, this town is a ruin. There's no supplies here, no need to stay. According to the tip, there's an underground base a hundred miles from here with survivors. We could go check it out."
Carter proposed.
Then, let's just switch to a motorcycle and go check it out.
Now ripples is with the small team, no need to worry about herself, just follow along.
After confirming their target, Carter was still driving with Ripple in the car. The team accelerated towards the underground city base, hoping to reach it before sunset. The wasteland became even more dangerous at night.
Perhaps because the surrounding area was a black mosquito swarm's territory, even after being wiped out, no other alien insect races came to take over for a while. Therefore, their group successfully reached the underground city base.
Looking at the enormous dome before them, everyone finally dismounted their motorcycles and walked towards the entrance.
There was a long queue there, not everyone could get in. There were people at the door registering and testing, those with special abilities went in smoothly, while those without any special skills could only exchange materials for the right to enter.r directly."You continue to travel according to the coordinates, I will make Lao Dan's ship sink behind you."Yes, Yun Jie!These people quickly changed their identities and immediately responded.The li...
