Chapter 376: Retreat
Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi
Fire at the Ministry of Geology?
But aren't they inside?
The helicopter crew only hesitated for two seconds before they executed the mission.
As knights of the Fishbone base, the leader's order is absolute.
”Target locked.”
”Fire.”
The gunner pressed the trigger.
Buzz-!
The 10 kilograms bomb penetrated through the three-floor high dome. The shattered concrete crumbled like an avalanche and dropped to the lower underground level. The explosion exposed the deep underground structure underneath.
Rocks and debris rained down and penetrated the web and hit the giant spider on the back. Unfortunately, the slightly off-target bomb got stuck on the wall of the B12 level and didn't directly hit the giant spider, the collapsed concrete debris still destroyed the spider web and pinned the massive beast to the bottom floor.
”Siiiiiiii!”
The pained screech came from across the hall. The hurt spider moved its fearsome legs in an attempt to stand up.
”Are you crazy, if this building collapses, we might-” Sun Jiao shouted.
Jiang Chen continued to order, ”Continue to fire.”
Boom-!
The dust caused by the explosion covered the entire hallway. Jiang Chen covered Yao Yao with his arms. At the same time, the rumbling dust swept through the hallway and inside the data center. The falling rocks made a series of clanking sound on the power armor of the two soldiers.
There was no more noise from the other side; the spider died.
Sun Jiao dusted off the rifle and gave Jiang Chen a hard stare.
”You almost buried us.”
”I didn't, did I?” Jiang Chen shrugged innocently.
Yao Yao hidden behind Jiang Chen peeked her head out, quivering.
”It's okay now,” Jiang Chen rubbed Yao Yao's head as he said lightly.
”Woooo-” But the loli docked down covering her head.
”Fool, your hands are full of dust,” Sun Jiao mocked in the private channel.
Jiang Chen had to retract his hand awkwardly.
[This girl is getting more naughty, I'll teach her a lesson when we go back.]
Jiang Chen stared back at Sun Jiao.
Though with the mask in between, they couldn't see each other's expression.
…
He ordered the soldiers to take samples of the giant spider as well as the remaining spider eggs, then Jiang Chen ordered the retreat.
Although the majority of the structure of the surface had collapsed, fortunately, the collapsed concrete blocks didn't completely drop underground to bury the team alive.
The rotating stair was destroyed, Sun Jiao hugged Yao Yao, and the four power armors started to ascend with the blue trail of flames.
It incident didn't alert the zombies, but the four giant metal suits attracted the attention of the throwers. This type of mutated zombie has an acute vision and a natural anti-air unit. It dragged their infant zombies and threw it at Sun Jiao near the shambles.
Jiang Chen saw this and took out his tactical rifle instantly. With his right hand holding the barrel, he swung the rifle like a baseball bat at the infant zombie.
Follow by a stuffed sound; the barrel hit the zombie infant back into the air.
