Chapter 34: The T-Virus Goes Online, Launching a General Offensive
On the surface of Area 51, human soldiers are leading robotic soldiers to clean up the site.
Just then, the alarm sounded again.
[Warning: Biological attack. Emergency response activated. Base sealed off.]
All ground personnel must immediately proceed to their designated areas and stand by.
As the base's broadcast sounded, the human soldiers who were cleaning up the severed limbs were stunned.
"Hall, what's going on?"
"It's probably a system error, a biohazard attack. These aberrant creatures do look a bit like them."
"Really? I remember the base's main control program is an artificial intelligence, and if it issues an incorrect command, the base commander would stop it, right?"
"I don't know then. Never mind, let's just follow orders."
"What about these things at the scene?"
"Just leave it to the robots. Can't you see they've already started moving?"
"That's great! These things are making me feel nauseous. Let's go."
Although they didn't understand the reason for the base's latest order, the soldiers weren't too panicked, since none of their comrades had shown any abnormalities.
Soon, all the soldiers arrived at the biohazard quarantine zone. After being cleaned in the decontamination room, they all entered their respective quarantine areas to await orders.
Inside the underground base of Area 51, the base commander looked at the isolated soldiers on the screen and inquired about the legion.
"Why wasn't the biological attack detected before?"
"Sir, in the previous battles, it was mainly the mechanical legion fighting against these bio-weapons. These bio-viruses have no effect on the mechanical legion."
Upon hearing the legion's words, the base commander waved his hand helplessly.
"Does this mean that the Starry Sky Group already knows that we orchestrated all of this?"
"Sir, based on the current situation, the enemy hasn't detected us, and the robots we're using here aren't from the Mechanical Legion, so the chance of them detecting us is only 10%."
"That's good. Actually, whether we've discovered it or not is no longer important. The most important part of the Great Flood Plan has been completed. When the time comes, we'll activate the Garden of Eden Plan, and a new world will descend."
Just as the base commander was talking to himself, a new change occurred at the quarantine site in the scene.
Several of the soldiers began to show unusual reactions, appearing to be in great pain.
"what!"
With a piercing scream, a soldier collapsed to the ground, his body contorted in agony, like a grotesque creature.
Before the base commander could react, the screaming soldier went silent.
"Sir, this soldier has lost vital signs."
"Damn it, is this a biological attack?"
Just then, a new change occurred in the scene. The soldier, who had previously lost vital signs, started moving again, his body contorted as he stood up.
"What's going on? It's alive again?"
"Sir, no, the other person's body doesn't show any signs of life; the heart isn't beating."
"Send robots to collect biological samples and send them to the biological research lab for study. We must figure out the main methods of the biological attack as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir."
Meanwhile, at a temporary base on the outskirts of Las Vegas, Shirakawa smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the satellite images.
"It seems the virus that came with the bioweapon worked; all the hosts are in place, right?"
"Sir, everyone is in position!"
"Very good. Order the long-range artillery units to immediately launch a long-range strike. The host's biological warfare unit should take over and strive to capture the base in the shortest possible time."
"Yes, sir."
With the new orders issued, the long-range artillery unit, hidden in a bunker, immediately began its operation.
"Coordinates received, firing parameters corrected."
"All firepower cleared, fire!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
......
As rockets were launched in succession, a sky full of meteors appeared, immediately alerting the air defense radar of Area 51 base.
"Ugh!!!"
The air raid siren blared directly over the base, and all the robots that were cleaning up the battlefield immediately dropped the severed limbs they were holding and ran towards the cover.
These battlefield-cleaning robots are not the same model as the base's defense robots. They are not connected by cables and do not have unlimited energy. They can only fight with ordinary gunpowder weapons.
Therefore, upon receiving the long-range firepower attack from the system, the built-in intelligent core immediately completed its analysis and rushed towards the nearest cover.
"call out!"
With a sharp sound from the sky, countless meteors fell and crashed to the ground.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Sizzle!"
A violent explosion occurred inside the base, tearing open countless bunkers and killing all the robots inside.
Moreover, along with conventional high-explosive rounds, many plasma rounds and pulse rounds also landed here.
Countless electric arcs flashed, completely destroying the electrical systems inside nearby buildings.
At the same time, one or two pulse grenades mixed in with the main force also exploded, and intense electromagnetic interference instantly enveloped the entire base area.
Inside the underground base, the officer who had just felt the base shake hadn't even had a chance to speak when he found the entire base plunged into darkness. But in an instant, the lights came back on.
"Legion, what just happened?"
"Sir, we have just been subjected to long-range enemy fire. According to radar detection, the attack consisted of 300 conventional high-explosive shells, 10 plasma shells, and two pulse shells."
"So many?"
"Yes, sir. The power system in the upper area has been destroyed. The backup power system was able to take over the base's power system for a short time because it was not activated."
"Report the losses. Also, notify the nearby underground base to locate the enemy and eliminate them."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, the losses to the base were tallied.
"Sir, according to the statistics, we can confirm that all of our ground anti-aircraft firepower has been destroyed in this attack, and all ground troops, except for the isolated human soldiers, have been eliminated."
"So, the ground is currently completely undefended?"
"Yes, sir, and because of the previous electromagnetic pulse, we have lost our ability to monitor the ground."
"Bang!"
"Damn it, when will the reinforcements from Base 1 and Base 2 arrive?"
"We expect to have about half an hour left."
"How long will it take for the nearest mechanical base to provide support?"
"Sir, just now, all the nearest mechanical bases have been subjected to a fierce attack by the Star Group's biological legion, and there are no extra troops to support this place."
"Damn it, these guys came prepared."
"Warning, sir. The isolation door in the upper A1 area has been under heavy attack. Due to the damage to the monitoring equipment, we cannot know what is attacking from the outside. Based on the current data collection, there is a 70% chance that it is a biological soldier from the Star Group."
"So fast? Get all the soldiers to their respective defensive positions. We must hold them off for at least half an hour."
"Yes, sir."
At this point, the area of Sector 51, now in ruins, has been occupied by biological forces after all hosts have been deployed.
Inside the ruins of a building, hundreds of puppies are frantically digging at the ground.
Soon, a large pit was dug out, and then a culture device was placed there.
Inside the temporary base, Baihe is observing the enemy and friendly forces on site.
"Sir, the breeding facility is operating normally. The first round of breeding is expected to be completed in an hour. At that time, our biological army will be able to increase its strength by tens of thousands of puppies."
"Very good. We don't yet know how many defensive forces the underground base has. The more biological legions the better, and we should place more cultivation devices."
"Yes, sir."
"Also, sir, Morning Star has just sent in new intelligence: two mixed human-machine teams have appeared on the ground and are heading towards Area 51. They are expected to arrive in half an hour."
"A team that's a mix of humans and machines?"
"Yes, sir. According to the data from Morning Star, the Legion may not have lost control, but rather is deliberately carrying out a massive cleansing of the entire Earth, much like the Great Flood in the West, in an attempt to recreate the world."
"Hiss! Can this information be confirmed?"
"This is also an important objective of our operation."
"If it's true, then these people really deserve to die."
Baihe is also human. Billions of people died on Judgment Day. If it really is a conspiracy, then all the masterminds behind it should go to hell.
"Get the biological warfare unit moving faster and storm the underground base. I want to see if there's a mastermind behind this!"
"Yes, sir."
After receiving the order, the biological weapons at Area 51's ground base went even more frenzied.
With the help of the plasma bugs, countless puppies quickly broke through the gate to the underground base.
"Enemy, open fire!!"
The moment they saw the puppy, all the soldiers opened fire, and the powerful firepower instantly overwhelmed the puppy in front of them.
"Jingle bells!"
The chitinous shell on the puppy's body directly blocked the attacks of these ordinary gunpowder weapons.
Moreover, because it is an underground base, heavy firepower is completely unusable.
"what!"
As the first puppy broke through the defenses, the entire human front collapsed instantly. In just one minute, countless explosions rocked the battlefield.
These were all achieved by the legion remotely detonating hidden bombs inside the soldiers' bodies.
However, this is only the first line of defense. After entering the third underground level, you enter the core area of Area 51, where the guards are no longer human soldiers, but mechanical warriors.
"Enemy sighted! Open fire!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
With the electromagnetic weapon firing, the puppy's offensive was finally halted; its chitinous shell could not withstand the attack.
Fang Heng had been keeping a close eye on the battlefield, and upon seeing these electromagnetic weapons, he felt somewhat relieved.
