Knocking wonders from the space station

I had just experienced an enhanced natural disaster, but this time the ordinary natural disaster had less of a presence.

The reason for this phenomenon is nothing more than the emergence of a more attractive point of interest, which makes all parties involved in it like crazy.

Shentang was busy preparing the orbital elevator and repairing the Rift-class battleship, while other parties were busy collecting metal waste in the fields. Everyone was enjoying it to the point of forgetfulness.

In the last days of life, if you lose your vigilance, the consequences will definitely not be good.

Under the sea, in deep space, and underground in Skyrim 3 next door, different dangers are quietly approaching.

However,

Perhaps in order to make the trialists have a longer memory, the oracle did not issue any trial tasks this time, just as if nothing happened. However, the Tianji star forces, which have long been accustomed to the oracle's reminders, must have suffered this time.

It’s settled.

…

In the blink of an eye, time has come to the last day of the natural disaster.

At the same time, it is also the last day of Tianjixing’s truce period.

All parties involved in the desert excavation took advantage of this last safe window and began frantic destructive excavations. All the harvests that had been obtained were loaded into trucks, and they only waited for the natural disaster to end and immediately set off to return home.

With one hour left until the end of the natural disaster, the magnetic storm and associated disasters began to weaken rapidly, and the traffic environment was greatly improved.

Some talented people and bold forces could not bear to return home, and prepared to evacuate the most important batch of supplies in advance.

Just then, an accident happened.

Freemasonry Excavation Site No. 0.

"No more waiting, let's leave now! We must arrive at the Lighthouse Colony before the truce ends. The transport ship is waiting for us there. As soon as the natural disaster is over, we can say goodbye to the sand and mobs here!"

"Woohoo~ Long live the boss! Let those savages who covet our wealth wait to eat dirt, hahahaha!"

"That's right! There is also this damn desert. I never want to come here in my life. Does anyone want to go to the Paradise Bar for a drink tonight? The bonus should be quite big this time..."

In the temporary warehouse of the excavation camp, a huge fleet of vehicles is ready to go.

The fleet consists of 36 specially-made ten-wheel off-road heavy-duty trucks.

These big guys are produced by Dawn Colony. They are more than a circle larger than trucks on Earth. They are equipped with 2000 horsepower electric motors, driven by energy coins, and have a load capacity of more than 200 tons.

The front end of the car is equipped with a heavy-duty ram angle, and a 30mm remote-controlled weapon station and drone launcher are installed on the top of the cockpit. It can carry 8 suicide anti-armor drones. It is equipped with light armor and can use accelerators that can travel unimpeded in the desert.

Largely widened bulletproof tires and smoke launchers for retreat.

For desert bandits who generally have low technical skills, they don't need many escorts to walk sideways in this desert.

It was specially manufactured by the Freemasons from an industrial mothership for this excavation operation.

As for the lighthouse colony,

It is a small colony located on the edge of the Wasteland Continent. It was developed by the Freemasons into a subsidiary of the Dawn Colony, with a dedicated landing field and hangar for cargo ships.

They did not directly send cargo ships to the depths of the mainland to load goods. First, it had been discussed long ago and was the prerequisite for China to allow them to come to the desert to make a fortune. Second, it was to prevent the cargo ships from being destroyed during natural disasters or being taken by some upstart midway.

Oracle's advanced weapons have been shot down, and the convoy is more hidden under the cover of wind and sand, and the risks are more controllable.

Lu Feng: No one told me about the no-fly zone!

Soon, loaded with the essence dug in these 15 days, the huge treasure transport convoy quietly set out on the road under the cover of wind and sand, accompanied by only 8 light armored vehicles and more than a hundred soldiers as escorts.

From the convoy commander's point of view, this is no problem at all.

No matter how crazy the looters in the wasteland are, they are unlikely to take the initiative to attack such a tough guy who looks very tough to mess with, even if the carriage is filled with precious cultural relics excavated from the ruins, advanced ammunition and expensive alien equipment

.

However, who said there are only desert bandits in the desert?

Twenty minutes later, the Yunbao convoy was speeding through the vast desert. Suddenly, the co-pilot of car No. 13 spotted something out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey, man, look over there!"

In addition to the driver and co-pilot, each truck also has an escort soldier in the back who is responsible for controlling the drone and weapons station. After hearing this, the soldier immediately turned the weapon station probe on the roof of the truck. Under the waves of snowflakes that still interfered, a

The blurry waves of sand were speeding towards his car, and were about to cut the convoy in half.

"Enemy attack!"

The escorting soldiers reacted quickly and immediately sounded the alarm. At the same time, they controlled the large-caliber cannon on the weapons station to fire at the unknown enemy.

Puff puff puff...

After a muffled sound, a large column of smoke suddenly rose from the sand, and the wave of sand crashed into the speeding car No. 13 as if it was nothing.

Boom——!

After a loud noise, the heavy truck weighing more than 200 tons was suddenly overturned. The inertia caused it to roll over and plunge into the yellow sand. It was impossible to turn it over again for a while.

Everyone in the car was given seat belts, so it was no big deal.

But the next second, their blood ran cold - the captain's voice came from the channel: "Speed ​​up! Keep moving forward!"

They were abandoned!

Obviously, in the captain's mind, compared with "causing the whole army to be annihilated in order to save a vehicle" and "using half of the truck as bait and successfully bringing back the other half", the latter is obviously more cost-effective.

As for those left behind, don't worry, your families will receive your pension.

Listening to the harsh curses coming from the wrecked vehicle, the escort captain remained unmoved and simply ordered the convoy to disperse quickly and not to tangle with the enemies underground.

He already recognized what it was - a sandworm.

Since the Freemasons dare to come to the desert to dig things, they naturally have some understanding of the overlord here. Although the sandworms are violent, as long as they speed up and leave their territory, the sandworms will no longer pursue them.

Just stop the loss midway and be sure not to anger the giant beast underground.

Soon, the second and third trucks were overturned by sandworms and left in the desert forever, but they could completely withstand this frequency of losses.

Just when the Masonic leader thought it was safe to escape the sandworm attack,

boom--!

The second sandworm appeared, then the third, the fourth...

In less than a minute, the convoy was killed by 4 sandworms of different sizes.

The leader's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered the convoy to turn around and flee towards the barren valley with hard sandy gravel ground in the opposite direction.

The sandworms were chasing after them, but their attack frequency was much slower.

The Masonic convoy just thought that the sandworms were tired, and happily rushed into a valley made of red rocks with only two-thirds of the convoy left.

Sure enough, the sandworms behind did not go deep into the hard rock area, but went back to drag their prey and disappeared into the desert.

The escort team member who was surviving the disaster let out a long breath and suddenly slumped down in his seat.

The team leader should be of higher quality and have the energy to observe the surrounding environment.

ha!

The terrain here is very suitable for an ambush. If the desert bandits ambush an army here, they will surely catch us all in one go!

Wait, ambush?

The captain's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

At this moment, the situation at the scene suddenly changed.

Boom——!Boom——!

Two loud noises were heard in succession, causing the leader's expression to freeze immediately. The look of disbelief was even uglier than crying.

Violent smoke and dust were seen rising from the front and rear of the convoy, and large disintegrated rocks rolled down, blocking the end of the canyon and instantly blocking the treasure transport convoy inside.

"Captain, there are a lot of rocks falling, we are trapped!"

Upon hearing the bad news, the captain's heart was completely cold, and he didn't even notice his slightly trembling hands.

Damn it, now I have really become a turtle!

There was definitely something wrong with the sandworm just now. How could it happen that the convoy was forced into an ambush circle? This must be a trap!

"There is an ambush! Quick, release the drone and seize the high ground on both sides!"

At the critical moment, the strong desire to survive made the leader of the Freemasons' mind spin, and he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted loudly.

Because the electromagnetic interference has not completely subsided, his voice is intermittent and slightly out of tune, sounding as funny as a wolf howling.

But the soldiers accompanying the vehicle still understood and understood their situation instantly.

The escort troops are not freeloaders, on the contrary, they are all well-trained elites of the Freemasonry, and the captains of each team are the official bodyguards of the Freemasonry.

There was no need for the team leader to explain in detail. The roofs of each truck opened one after another, and suicide drones rose precariously from inside.

"God bless, you must hold on..."

Looking at the crooked drone, the escorting troops' hearts suddenly rose to their throats.

Finally, after dropping half of the drones, the remaining drones finally successfully broke through the bottom of the valley and flew to the top of the mountain on both sides while staring at the strong interference.

However, the expected ambusher did not appear, and there was nothing around him, as if the valleys on both sides had exploded by themselves.

"What the hell, how is this possible?"

The team leader glanced at the time anxiously. There were still 21 minutes until the end of the natural disaster, and the truce period was synchronized with it.

After calming down and thinking about it, the oracle's definition of truce prohibits armed conflicts involving more than a hundred people, and neither the sandworm attack nor the falling rocks blocking the road just now clearly exceeded this limit.

The team leader immediately understood that the enemy who had not shown up was waiting for time.

After waiting for these last 21 minutes, you can launch a fatal attack on the convoy without any scruples!

"Damn it!"

The pressure of death made the team leader and his team members sweat profusely, holding steel guns tightly in their hands.

The leader's brain was working rapidly.

Looking for help?

No, there is no reply to the long-distance communication now. Even if the lighthouse colony receives the signal, it can only use a few armed rotorcraft. If it is discovered and shot down by the Shenzhou colony, the consequences will be disastrous.

So we can only save ourselves...

"Brothers, we only have the last 18 minutes. Listen to my order: Marines get off the vehicle with weapons! Engineers will check for explosives for me immediately! Quick, quick, quick!"

The leader shouted loudly.

Bang!

The doors of each armored vehicle opened one after another, and heavily armed soldiers filed out.

He first divided out half of the soldiers and asked them to use powered exoskeletons to climb to the top of the mountain on both sides to seize the commanding heights.

Then the transport vehicles were ordered to be arranged in two rows, and a simple position was constructed using the vehicle bodies in the limited space.

Then, he ordered the drones to be temporarily taken back, because in just this moment, more than ten drones went out of control, and they could not afford the losses.

Finally, the team leader personally went to the 25th and 27th carriages and led people to tinker inside.

Time passes minute by minute,

Freemason's powered exoskeleton has good performance. With strong output, even if the rock wall is steep, you can climb it with bare hands while carrying a rifle.

After more than ten minutes, the climbing soldiers finally succeeded in climbing to the top of the mountain. What they saw was a desolate gravel beach, and no ghosts were seen.

But they didn't care too much. They dispersed and fell down on the spot, holding guns and guarding the surroundings on the gravel beach without shelter.

Even though the parts not protected by the exoskeleton were bleeding from the gravel, no one dared to stand up.

"As soon as the shield disappears, ask for help from the Dawn Colony and ask them to send warships! I don't care how they deal with the people in China. The support must arrive within 15 minutes, otherwise we will let them collect the corpses for us!"

The team leader turned to the deputy beside him and gave serious instructions. The deputy nodded in agreement and wished he could change the reinforcement time to within 5 minutes.

Tick ​​tock…

Countdown is 1 minute... 20 seconds... time is up!

"Open fire quickly, suppress fire, don't stop!"

The Masonic soldiers had plenty of ammunition because they were equipped with exoskeletons, and less than half of them were equipped with belt-loading machine guns. With an order, dense fire nets immediately tore the air on the hills on both sides, raising large amounts of smoke and dust.

Even a moment before firing, there was nothing in sight.

The fierce firing gave the team leader some sense of security. Looking at the gradually recovering signal, he ordered the drone to be released again while looking expectantly at the deputy calling the headquarters.

After a few seconds, the deputy's face suddenly changed, and the color drained away.

"What's wrong?"

The team leader anxiously slapped the deputy, but the deputy still looked desperate: "Our distress signal has been hijacked, the enemy has tampered with our coordinates, and our on-board equipment cannot break through the blockade!"

"God..."

The team leader felt a chill in his heart, "There will be no more reinforcements."

As soon as despair rose from the bottom of my heart, a muffled sound suddenly came from the distance.

"Bombardment!"

The rich experience made the team leader subconsciously shout out.

The next second, raindrops of artillery shells fell from the sky. The shells were not very powerful, just ordinary mortars. But for soft targets that lacked protection, raging shock waves and shrapnel instantly swept across the mountaintops on both sides.

Before the soldiers who had worked so hard to climb up saw the enemy, they were overturned by the air waves and fell back into the valley screaming, leaving their bodies bloody and bruised.

A long-planned ambush broke out in an instant.

A well-prepared ambusher does not need to get close to ambush the soldiers. He only needs to bombard the elements according to the settings, and he can easily harvest the active forces in the valley.

This was indeed the case. The Masonic convoy was severely damaged almost immediately after being attacked, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

At the same time, the headquarters of Dawn Colony, which received the false distress signal, immediately dispatched a frigate to rescue. This was the result of emergency consultations with Shenzhou.

Just as the frigate was flying across the strait, the alarm bell suddenly sounded on the frigate.

Enemy attack!
