Alien paradise

……

Outside the city of XM, outside the air force base.

This place has become a heavily guarded war front. Several layers of wire mesh are set up on the gravel road from the highway to the base wall. Soldiers lean against the sand fort with live ammunition, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

The sun has just risen at dawn. Fortunately, it is a cloudless day today. With the help of the golden morning light, the vision can cover the entire desert.

"Yawn..." Tevry rubbed his dry eyes and looked at his team leader Harry with a listless face, "Sir, who are we going to fight with?"

Their team was awakened in their sleep late last night.

Unlike previous assault training, they did not receive any mission notifications, and just picked up their guns and entered the air force base in a daze. The group first stayed in the airport for a few hours, and then was transferred to the suburbs west of the base and squatted directly in the sand fort position.

As the marines responsible for defending the base, their status is undoubtedly the lowest. It is common for them to be ordered around, but at least there must be a reason, right? In fact, until now, Tevry has only heard one order, "Destroy all suspicious moving targets, this is not an exercise." As for why this target is suspicious, the superior officer did not give any explanation.

In addition, he also found a strange thing, that is, only their group of cowherds were in action, and the air force was extremely peaceful. Not only did the airport not launch a single plane, but even the sound of the hot engine could not be heard.

If it is not an exercise, and the situation does not require the deployment of the air force, it means that the enemy is quite weak? Weak enough to be easily dealt with by dozens of rifles.

"Maybe a civil war has broken out." Another soldier, George, chewed gum and said, "Didn't a movie just come out recently... Maybe reality will come true, and our great president will decide to take up arms to fight against the injustice of the rule of law."

"Shut up, all of you." Captain Harry cursed, "Look at what's behind us? They are all cannons, not army cannons, but real naval cannons! Have you seen naval cannons in the air force wing base? So many were transferred in one night. I haven't seen such powerful logistics for a long time. It can keep those lazy guys busy all night. I can only say that the higher-ups have given a death order!"

"Fuck, it's true!" George turned his head and squinted for a while and said in surprise, "Where did they move them from?"

Tevry then discovered that the piles of black shadows they were guarding at night were actually naval cannons of various types. In order to accommodate their huge ammunition supply mechanisms, temporary square steel frames were built underneath. In addition to naval guns, he also saw several multi-barreled close-in weapon systems used on warships. This thing is generally only used for air defense - it's not that it can't hit people, but it's too cruel to hit people. If someone takes a picture of it, it will definitely become a hot search on the Internet.

"Who knows, maybe it's inventory, maybe it's removed from a warship." The captain shrugged, "But it's definitely not used against civilians. Our enemies are definitely extraordinary."

"Then why not use the Air Force? We have F22 stationed here."

"That's why I said it's extraordinary. You can't use airplanes to shoot birds, right?"

At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded in the base!

"The enemy is coming!"

Harry shouted and pulled the bolt safety.

Tevery's sleepiness was gone immediately. He opened the safety and looked in front of the sand fort. There was nothing strange in the suburbs.

"Guys, look at the sky!" Suddenly a soldier shouted.

The sky?

Tevry raised his telescope and looked towards the western sky. This time he found the target, which looked like a few strange iron birds. Their bodies were square boxes with flapping wings on both sides. Their flying speed was quite slow, estimated to be only 40 to 50 kilometers per hour.

Before they could come to their senses, the cannons behind them suddenly opened fire!

Only a few rapid roars were heard, and brilliant fireworks instantly exploded in the sky five or six kilometers away.

It was a standard programmed proximity bomb!

When the smoke cleared, Tevry raised his telescope again and found that the target had disappeared without a trace.

"That's it?" George whistled, "Using a naval gun to hit a palm-sized thing, isn't this a waste of taxpayers' money?"

"Don't relax, there's movement on the ground too!" Harry warned.

I saw several crawling mechanical bodies appearing on the horizon, using rugged gravel as cover, as if someone was controlling them.

"So today's actual combat is target practice?"

A soldier's sharp comment caused everyone to laugh.

Taveri waited until they got close before firing, which was about 300 meters away. Although these little creatures were quite agile, they still couldn't make it to the front line under the sniper fire from multiple sources.

Then the anti-aircraft artillery fired again, destroying the second wave of invaders in the sky several kilometers away.

After several rounds of this, everyone had completely relaxed, and even the captain lit a cigarette.

However, a question also formed in Taveri's mind-why did the enemy in the air need to be defended with naval guns, while the enemies on the ground relied on rifles to attack the area? Couldn't they arrange a few infantry fighting vehicles to deal with the enemy? The latter had a long range and strong firepower, and could shoot more than a thousand meters away, which was much better than the small water gun in his hand.

And speaking of which, who produces these weird-looking machines? Why does the 49th Wing Base have to treat them as the enemy? Could it be... where to dismantle it?

By noon, there had been seven or eight waves of similar "attacks."

In addition to iron birds and iron spiders, drones, remote-controlled toy racing cars and balancing cars have also become "invading enemies".

Such a strange phenomenon naturally aroused heated discussions among the soldiers, but they could not come up with a reason even after repeated discussions. This kind of thing is not uncommon for lower-level soldiers. As long as their superiors keep their mouths shut, they will never know the truth of the incident. .

When the sun reached its peak, Tyfre suddenly heard a series of thick roars coming from behind.

He looked back, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on his arms.

Several dark transport planes appeared in the east direction and rushed towards the base at an alarming speed. Their paintings are very distinctive, and you can tell at a glance that they are our own C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft. It is also the largest military transport aircraft in active service. Even if the distance is more than ten kilometers apart, its huge wings are clearly visible.

It is not strange for the air force base to frequently have aircraft taking off and descending. They are also used to using transport aircraft to replenish supplies. However, the attitude of these aircraft is abnormal at first glance - the angle of their dive is too steep! Dive at this speed can easily cause the fuselage to disintegrate. Even if it does not disintegrate, this pitch angle will definitely not be used for landing.

Reminiscent of those drones that flew like moths to a flame, a boundless fear suddenly appeared in Tyfre's heart.

The people at the base obviously also noticed this situation. Several artillery pieces began to turn around and raised their muzzles high - only this time, they fired far less resolutely than before.

After seemingly dozens of seconds of hesitation, the naval gun finally started firing. However, the C-5 was no better than those toys. They could not be vaporized by the shells. Even if the 127mm warhead could tear the wings and fuselage of the aircraft, its broken body remained. It is equivalent to a meteorite that keeps coming, and there are more than one such meteorite!

In full view of the frontline soldiers, the plane dragged countless disintegrated parts and hit the base's airport with billowing flames. A large amount of cargo also jumped out of its body and was scattered everywhere. When the "cargo" stood up, Tyfrey discovered that they were all mechanical dogs.

Mechanical dog?

How much trouble can these military toys without weapons cause them? There's no way a person could be killed by this thing!

Seeing the still-moving mechanical dogs fleeing in all directions, Captain Harry suddenly murmured, "Oh my god..."

Tyfrey followed his gaze and found that two close-in defense guns in the distance had lowered their muzzle height at some point and turned to the front line.

"Damn it, isn't it..."

Before he finished speaking, a series of fierce shots tore apart the sand barrier next to him and completely penetrated his body!
