attack city

In order to cooperate with the combat training in the building, Shenlong City rested for two more days at the Conch Port Trading Ground, and then continued south to the area where Death Island is located.

Of course, training still has to continue on the road.

In order to avoid the mountains with a large number of flying energy beasts, Shenlong City made a large circle.

Before they reached the lake, they discovered some conditions on Death Island.

"There are so many high-rise buildings?"

The lake in front is very large, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers. It passes through the swamps in the south and is still far away from the south shore of the island in the center of the lake.

But the weather is very good today. Even without a lookout, you can vaguely see the buildings in the distance with your naked eyes, just like a ground city like a metropolis.

Although the island is not large, everywhere they can see there are buildings tens of meters or even hundreds of meters high, at least along the coast they look at.

If the economy is prosperous, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will become a metropolis with a smaller area.

This is obviously not a place just used for experiments.

"This island was developed into a prosperous city, so when an accident occurs, so many people are transformed into zombies."

"Maybe it's used to hide experimental research."

"In the end, the people living on this island became victims."

Others also speculated.

"It seems like we can change our tactics."

Xiang Yang said: "Since there are so many high-rise buildings, Shenlong City can soar to an altitude of thirty or forty meters, pass through the third and second ring islands from the air, and directly enter the central island."

Originally, he had always thought that this island of death was composed of low-rise buildings and a large number of basements and other facilities.

A building of about ten stories is considered relatively tall. There are probably only one or two central office buildings that are this high, and the others are probably just buildings of a few stories high.

After all, it is just an experimental site for genetic and biochemical research. Who would have thought that there are so many high-rise buildings.

In that case, no matter how high the city soars, it will become an obvious target.

In fact, from the ground level, at the height of the second-stage city, it will be more conspicuous. This is a characteristic of open areas.

In this case, any behavior that allows you to rise is an unwise choice.

Now he finally understood why the information he heard in his previous life did not mention passing through the air. This was not just because he was afraid of being targeted by the energy giants in the mountains.

The height of a city on land is about fifty meters in the air. It is not calculated based on the altitude, but based on the current ground as a rough reference standard, that is, the height of the ground near where you are currently is about fifty meters in the air.

Not those buildings, or the big trees that appeared, or the mountains in front.

Because there are always high-rise buildings over fifty meters on this island, whether it is passing on the ground or after taking off, it will happen that it hits several buildings.

The lack of maneuverability in land-based cities makes it very dangerous in this situation.

In any case, it is safest to pass through the ground.

Dragon City flies into the air and has no problem maneuvering. As long as there is enough space, it can even go around in the steel jungle without any problem.

And with so many high-rise buildings, even if they rise thirty or forty meters, they can be completely blocked. It is a bit difficult to find this place from a distance.

This way you can avoid the zombies on the ground and only worry about the ones jumping from the stairs.

There are also zombies in the building, and jumping from the air into the city is a crisis that needs to be considered.

The only disadvantage is that there is no way to turn on the defensive armor in the air. The most important thing is the egg-shaped defensive armor on the top. Zombies jumping from high places may directly smash through the outer glass wall and enter inside.

But they only need to control the height so that the outer part of the urban glass wall just exceeds the height of nearby buildings.

Although sometimes, it is still too high, which will make the overall height of the city exceed too much.

But with so many high-rise buildings nearby, they only need to take time to choose a path, try to avoid buildings over 60 meters high, and use those buildings as cover to block distant sight lines.

With Shenlong City's maneuverability in the air and its lookouts, Xiang Yang felt that it was not difficult to choose the best route.

The specific plan still needs to be drawn up after getting closer and searching for more information on Death Island.

Shenlong City continues to move forward.

With a lookout, it is not difficult to find the opportunity to enter the Death Island. Before arriving at the lake, Xiang Yang and the others had been observing the energy behemoth in the sky.

Therefore, the next morning after entering the predetermined position, they began to head towards the island in the middle of the lake.

As soon as Shenlong City entered the water and transformed into sailing mode, Xiang Yang sped up and moved forward at a speed of over sixty kilometers per hour.

"It really works."

When it was twelve kilometers away from the Island of Death, Shenlong City began to slow down, and Xiang Yang controlled one of the lookout's telescopes, turned on the thermal imaging mode, and initially scanned the island in front.

In the thermal imaging field of view, what appear are color difference images of different depths, which require relatively professional knowledge to identify. Fortunately, Yu Bin is very knowledgeable about this because he has used this kind of instrument before.

Therefore, they can achieve basic recognition capabilities.

After viewing the thermal imaging, Xiang Yang clearly saw many creatures moving slowly on the island or standing there.

Those are zombies.

In common understanding, the undead are corpses and do not emit heat. If there are no other radiation phenomena, they will not be found in thermal imaging images.

Of course, there are also external heat sources such as light, but even if they are present, they are destined to be very weak and difficult to distinguish.

However, the zombies on the island do not seem to be undead. They still have body temperature, but it is lower than that of normal people. Therefore, their appearance on the imaging map is a little different from that of normal people, but they can still be easily identified.

With this, it's easier because they can find the location of most zombies.

Bai Qianxue and the others were not in the control room, but in the observation room, observing the situation on the island through optical imaging or thermal imaging. From the coast, the buildings were higher than they thought before.

Most of the buildings are tall buildings over 60 meters tall, and they are scattered among low-rise buildings and roads.

"I think it is more feasible to enter from the direction of the pier. The waiting hall of the pier is a large, low-rise building about thirty meters high, and you can pass through it."

Bai Qianxue did some calculations and felt that this was a good plan.

Xiang Yang switched to a normal optical field of view, which was definitely possible because the buildings on both sides that were more than eighty meters high were far away.

After passing the dock waiting hall, there are no very tall buildings ahead.

They can park in the waiting hall of the pier, use the buildings on both sides to block it, and inspect the inside of the island first.

Shenlong City began to take off, the chassis deformed, and the hull structure was retracted.

The mobile jet port mounted on the outer wall behind Shenlong City began to operate, and it slowly moved towards the island at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per hour.

When he got there, Xiang Yang saw the general appearance of the island.

Although the buildings along the coast are still relatively intact, many buildings inside have collapsed, accounting for about 30% of the total, and there are still many damaged buildings.

Many of the gaps in the buildings looked like they had been blasted away, and the ground was covered with rubble and bricks, downed telephone poles, and a large number of dilapidated cars.

Apparently there had been a lot of chaos and a lot of small-scale battles here.

Overall, this island is considered a ruin that has not been damaged too badly.

There are no high-rise buildings on the central island. The tallest building is about thirty meters tall. There is only one building with a helicopter landing pad on the roof. It is probably the main office and experimental building. The other buildings are generally no more than twenty meters tall.

The level of damage there is also lowest.

These are very similar to Xiang Yang's initial estimates.

On Death Island, the only airport is on the left side of the central island, near the river bank of the second circular island, where there are a large number of zombies.

After choosing the route, Shenlong City continues to move forward.

"Be careful, there are a lot of zombies on the top of the building about fifty meters high on the left." Bai Qianxue reported in an observation room.

In this kind of building forest and sparse place, it is not efficient to use multiple telescopes for comprehensive large-scale projection observation. It is best to use independent telescopes and send people to conduct independent observations.

Because everyone can be as flexible as possible.

Although everyone's field of vision is very narrow, there are advantages to having a narrow field of vision, that is, the area that can be taken care of is smaller, and you can focus more.

You can also respond quickly to crises in your field of vision.

"There are already dozens of zombies in the field of vision, and there are also some that cannot be observed by thermal imaging inside the building. I guess they are all here."

Xiang Yang also used one of the lookout's front telescopes to conduct a thermal imaging scan.

This kind of desolate place has no life, no lights, and many places and objects that do not emit heat. The use of thermal imaging is more efficient than direct optics.

Because a few organisms that emit heat will appear quite conspicuous.

Their current route is on the east side of the island and requires a semi-arc to enter the central island, because the high-rise buildings on the third and second circular islands are basically distributed along the lake shore and near the artificial river.

There is no artificial river on the east side of the island. It is mainly a residential area, so except for the buildings along the lake, the buildings elsewhere are not so dense.

The fifty-meter-high building on the left is a commercial building facing the street in a residential area.

Shenlong City must pass by this building. The zombies in the building can easily jump out and fall to the top of Shenlong City.

"Wu Zhongjun, demolished that building." Xiang Yang said lightly.

The current configuration of combat personnel in the control room is that Wu Zhongjun is in charge of the city cannon, Gao Hongzhan is in charge of the city's fury, Luo Xiaoya is in charge of the giant crossbow, and Lin Shengguang is in charge of the energy cannon.

Xiang Yang is responsible for driving, plus brutal collision and rotating stage.

Then, in terms of the number of telescope stands for the observers, Xiang Yang, Luo Xiaoya, Gao Hongzhan, and Lin Shengguang were assigned another one, front, back, left, and right.

Xiang Yang is responsible for the front, Lin Shengguang is responsible for the rear, Gao Hongzhan is responsible for the left, and Luo Xiaoya is responsible for the right.

There are four telescopes left for Bai Qianxue and Yu Bin's team.

Bai Qianxue's team is responsible for the front and left side, and Yu Bin's team is responsible for the rear and right side. If they go out of the city to fight, they will be assigned to the deputy over there.

The city is in the sky, and brutal collisions cannot have much effect.

Because the stability after the collision is troublesome, Shenlong City might even roll over completely.

Rollover is not the biggest problem. With good control, it can still be avoided. There is also the issue of retreat after the collision is completed.

Because the collision is accelerated, after the collision is completed, not only does it take a while to retreat and accelerate again in the opposite direction, but it also takes a while to return to the normal speed mode after the previous acceleration, such as engine cooling, etc.

If you don't control the timing well, you may be taken down by the impact target as it falls.

In short, using this weapon in the air is a relatively risky behavior.

But on the ground, it will still be a very safe and easy-to-use super killer weapon.

Therefore, when in the air, the weapon actually controlled by Xiang Yang can only be regarded as responsible for rotating the stage.

The operation of this urban combat weapon is extremely simple, just start and start a certain serrated blade, or stop and stop a certain serrated blade.

There is no need to aim at all, so there is no scope. Each monitor lizard blade has only two fixed fields of view, up and down.

After obtaining the rotating stage, the blind spots on the outer wall of the city were also made up. Not only was the attack blind spot made up, it was also an unexpected benefit.

As long as zombies don't climb up the outer wall of the city, the rotating stage will not start.

Therefore, it seems that Xiang Yang has so many responsibilities, but in fact, Xiang Yang's work is basically focused on driving and observation.

Energy cannons in this kind of place are not very useful. Whether it is facing buildings or zombies, the effect is not good. The energy cannons do not have shrapnel. They are mainly used to deal with single targets, and it is difficult to cause large-scale explosion damage.

In the air, City's Wrath is not very useful, because the charged swing must be fixed at a fixed point. Swinging it in the air will cause problems with the city's force-bearing points.

It can be done with difficulty, but the consumption of stabilization is too high, and the probability of accidents is high if it cannot be stabilized.

After all, the position of the city when flying is not completely stable. When maneuvering, it often tilts or rotates forward.

Therefore, there are too many things that need to be paid attention to when using this weapon in the air. It can be said to be extremely difficult, and it is not cost-effective at all even if you only consider the pure consumption.

The giant crossbow will be very flexible in the air, but it is mainly used to support ground combat.

Therefore, Gao Hongzhan, Lin Shengguang and Luo Xiaoya basically focused on observation, and only the urban artillery controlled by the Wuzhong Army was the core attack point.

In order to carry out this task, Xiang Yang also specially prepared a lot of submunitions, plus armor-piercing bombs, which are very useful whether it is for large-area group damage or for breaking down obstacles.

"We are already looking for the location of the load-bearing pillars of the building." Wu Zhongjun reported: "It is recommended to reduce the speed first and delay passing there."

"Reduce the speed to ten kilometers per hour." Xiang Yang lowered the speed.

Their goal is not a zombie, but to directly destroy the building. This is the safest, most direct way, simple and efficient.

Cluster bombs are more difficult to demolish buildings and will only cause a large-scale destructive explosion inside.

They have to use armor-piercing bombs. Although the explosion range of armor-piercing bombs is not large, it is aimed at the city itself or the giant beast.

In fact, when such a huge cannonball explodes, it will affect a wide area.

But based on this, it is still difficult to destroy a fifty-meter-high super building made of reinforced concrete with a frontal shot.

They can't hit them from the air.

City cannons don't have that kind of attack angle. It's possible to use ground-attack energy cannons, but energy cannons can easily melt a certain part of the building, but they can't be destroyed.

Therefore, the best way is to attack the load-bearing pillars of the building. There are more than one such load-bearing pillars, so that it can be done with just a few shots.

"Get ready to fire the first armor-piercing projectile." Wu Zhongjun reminded.

When the city is in the air, there will still be a lot of bumps when using the city cannon, which is different from the ground.

With a bang, the city cannon was fired, hitting the wall of the building more than ten meters above the ground, penetrating directly and exploding inside, shaking the whole building.

The second, third, fourth, and fifth armor-piercing rounds continued to be fired.

With a rumble, the glass curtain on the outer wall of the building shattered, and then collapsed downward at a visible speed, almost vertically.

Halfway down, the building began to tilt. A large number of zombies in the building also fell to the ground and were pressed into the broken pieces of the wall. Although the weak point was only the head, they were basically dead after this, and only a few were still alive.

.

That area was covered in smoke and dust, and only a ten-meter-high part of the building remained, which was vacant.

Shenlong City accelerated again and passed through the air. Without this building, the air was wider and maneuvering was much easier.

Therefore, next, even if there is no zombie crisis, we will try our best to blow away the buildings that are a bit annoying on the road.

It only took about an hour for them to reach the central island.
