"Click, click, click," the sound of the mechanical watch ticked in his ears.
The atmosphere inside the car was far from solemn; everyone was chatting and laughing.
Only Lin Yuan quietly waited for the sound of the explosion.
"All cars, attention. Car 1 takes the lead, all other cars follow, and exit the residential area."
Mu Qingtian had already surveyed the road conditions outside while Lin Yuan was returning to burn books. There were no anomalies. The obstacles previously placed on the road had been cleared. From the rooftop of one of the three buildings to the south, he had used binoculars to check the road ahead, and it was not blocked.
They could pass.
The rumbling sound in the sky approached from afar.
The fighter jets had arrived.
"Headquarters, Headquarters, Pomegranate is in position, laser targeting is normal, ready to attack. Repeat, laser targeting is normal, ready to attack!"
"Headquarters, Headquarters, Sixteen is in position, laser targeting is normal, ready to attack. Repeat, ready to attack!"
Two seconds later, the communicator crackled: "Headquarters received, attack immediately, attack immediately!"
"Understood!"
Two fighter jets pressed the launch buttons simultaneously.
Four red-painted missiles were launched one after another. These were thermobaric bombs.
The destructive effect of thermobaric bombs on targets is mainly due to the overpressure and thermal field effects generated by the detonation, as well as the scouring action of high-temperature and high-pressure detonation. Thermobaric agents release much more energy than the same mass of explosives, and the resulting blast wave can destroy large military targets. The detonation wave reflects and superimposes between walls, resulting in an overpressure value much higher than in open spaces. Therefore, thermobaric bombs are more effective in killing targets in enclosed spaces. Thus, individual thermobaric bombs are particularly suitable for striking living targets within houses, buildings, and fortifications.
These were for "breaching."
The mutated nest sensed the approaching danger and released spore clouds in advance, contracting its body and secreting a large amount of mucus on its surface in an attempt to block the destructive effect of the thermobaric bombs. Unfortunately, its reaction was not as fast as the missiles.
The rapidly approaching thermobaric bombs directly blew the upper half of the creature into pieces of burning fragments, revealing its internal network of intertwined hyphae. The high-temperature mist cloud generated by the explosion expanded rapidly at a speed of 2000 to 2500 meters per second. The spores escaping from the outside were vaporized by the liquid at nearly 2500°C before they could do anything.
The attack did not stop. The fighter jets approached the mutated nest and, after the thermobaric bombs exploded, dropped four white-blue painted aerial bombs. These were fuel-air explosives.
Fuel-air explosives are conventional weapons but possess unconventional lethality and destructive effects. Because fuel-air explosives are more effective in enclosed spaces, they are particularly suitable for killing living targets in caves, underground fortifications, and buildings. Compared to weapons of mass destruction, fuel-air explosives have immense destructive power and are relatively inexpensive, earning them the nickname "sub-nuclear weapons."
These were for "silencing."
The fuel-air explosives directly entered the gap created by the thermobaric bombs. The resulting explosion was clearly more violent. The two fighter jets were not done yet; they simultaneously launched six white phosphorus incendiary bombs.
There was no need to explain this one; it was meant for complete annihilation.
Having delivered all their ordnance, the fighter jets did not linger and directly returned. The subsequent effect confirmation would be carried out by the satellite image observation department.
Lin Yuan and his group did not witness this sea of fire. Instead, they watched the zombies rushing past them one after another. Such a massive explosion, and so many consecutive ones, had incited almost all the zombies in the entire county town, and they were all rushing towards the center of the explosion.
This attraction was simply too great.
The full running speed of zombies was faster than that of human hundred-meter champions. This distance would be covered in no time. Lin Yuan and his group did not wait long before the stream of running zombies thinned out considerably.
"All cars, attention, depart immediately. Maintain distance between vehicles, do not get too far apart."
The five cars started simultaneously, accelerating to seventy kilometers per hour, rushing towards the southern highway entrance.
This road actually offered a view of the magnificent fiery scene of the old town. Lin Yuan and his group saw it in the rearview mirror after they drove onto the street.
They could only exclaim, "As expected of Master 16, the ammunition he carried is truly potent."
Indeed, Lin Yuan had peeked when the planes flew over. The things hanging under their bellies, their size, made him fearful.
Master 16 is awesome! wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Master 16 completed the mission and retreated. Lin Yuan and his group were also rapidly withdrawing when, suddenly, the intercom crackled.
"Captain! I want to see if our armored vehicle can still be driven. After so many days, the zombies wrapped around the tires should have turned into slime and mushrooms. I want to give it a try!"
Zhao Mengnan's words made Wang Zhihai, who was driving, widen his eyes. That's right, why had he forgotten about the armored vehicle?
He turned to look at Lin Yuan: "Captain! I also think it's possible. The alley where I parked is within 500 meters ahead."
The southern exit, getting closer and closer!
