Chapter 285 Rapid Shooting

"Action."

The airship descended and the hatch opened.

The gray soldier loaded a bullet into the gun chamber and strode away from the airship.

Dozens of corrupt wasps were returning to the nest area not far away with wooden materials, and a large number of corrupt wasps were digging large pits and throwing food into them for storage. Hexagonal buildings made of wooden materials and secretions of corrupt wasps were scattered at the bottom of the mountain. Some wasps were taking food out of the pits and feeding them to the larvae inside.

The corrupt wasps patrolling outside the nest saw these uninvited guests and hissed at them from a distance to drive them away. They guarded their new home and did not welcome uninvited guests.

What responded to them were the rifles and hot lead bullets in the hands of the soldiers.

Just in time, Ji Lin did not welcome uninvited guests.

The bullet turned into a sharp blade, breaking the black and yellow carapace covering the corrupt wasp and smashing it. One bullet hit was not enough to kill them, but a large-caliber full-power bullet hit was enough to eliminate their flying ability.

Kinetic energy, penetration, shattering.

Sprinkling a pool of dirty blood.

Pulling the bolt, reloading.

The fast-moving soldiers turned around to cover each other, forming a small group of three people covering each other on the ground, and a large number of guard spiders were mixed in the skirmish line to protect the shooting team. Soldiers raised their guns to patrol the possible dangers nearby, and the raised crosshairs were ready to fall on the enemy at any time.

The floating carrier that descended to the ground level was slowly floating behind the skirmish line and following forward, providing them with supporting firepower as an armored unit to cover them.

Compared with the infantry deployed into a combat group, a group of people firing outside in the shooting cabin can solve the safety problem, but the shooting efficiency can only be described as low.

They want to eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible, instead of hiding in the shooting cabin and inefficiently shooting outside.

"Hiss--Gah!"

The shot-down wasp hissed, raised its head, and used its compound eyes to lock onto the nearest three-person combat team and launched a final struggling charge.

Three scout hunting spiders used their bodies to block the dying counterattack of the violent creature, buying time for the shooting team to reload.

A bullet landed on the dying wasp, breaking its limbs, smashing its head, and terminating any of its mobility.

The rapid shooting of the three-person combat team smashed all the important parts of the corrupted wasp that fell to the ground within a minute. Whether it was looking at the terrifying head, the colorless wings that were shaking wildly, or the fat and huge bee tail.

The 12.7mm large-caliber full-power bullet could easily destroy the not-so-strong carapace on its body, tearing open the flesh and blood in its body like a heavy hammer, and the splashed flesh and blood tissue stained the green ground.

Completely cut off the last glimmer of life of the corrupted wasp.

Maintain the formation and move forward.

Five hundred meters from the battlefield, the exploration escort team.

They were wearing camouflage uniforms, hiding in the forest and observing the every move of the gray-clad soldiers not far away.

The captain of the escort team had also seen that kind of big spider, and was even discovered by them. The big spider just ran over to it and stared at him for a long time, as if to confirm whether it had seen this guy with ears.

He learned the way those soldiers fed it and threw a piece of dried meat to this big spider. It finally took a piece of dried meat and quickly returned to their team.

The captain of the escort didn't know whether the big spider had discovered that it was actually different from the soldiers, but it ran away and didn't bring anyone to trouble itself.

"They are more efficient in killing enemies."

The exploration escort team followed the airship and sometimes they would go around the possible route of the airship to save time and wait for these iron-gray guys to arrive-thanks to a high-level geologist in their team, the escort team's understanding of some terrains can be said to be far better than the Sky Island Close-Flight Fleet.

Their goal was to clear the Corrupted Wasps, and the captain of the escort had determined this halfway based on their direction and the map in his hand.

Corrupted Wasps are a very difficult swarming creature. When the kingdom's colonial forces operate against large sky islands, they will produce a large number of corpses that are difficult to recover, and Corrupted Wasps are not picky eaters. They will collect these corpses as food to expand their colonies.

Dangerous creatures with highly toxic and carrion-eating properties will cause extremely heavy losses to adventurers and pioneers after their colonies expand - there are too few people equipped with long-range weapons, and they are not this gray army that uses special long-range weapons.

Later, the Governor dispatched a fleet of three artillery cruisers to the city of Ate to completely clear the Corrupted Wasp nest area... They have even evolved into larger aerial beasts. However, even if there are cruisers equipped with arcane focusers, it is not easy to deal with the beasts deep in the large sky islands.

They were still looking at the weapon that was extremely difficult to load. The reloading speed is too slow. Once the 30-meter hand-to-hand combat distance is reached, it is still unclear who will have the upper hand when the spears and rune swords of both sides intersect.

When the Prospector Guard concluded that the target of this fleet was the Corrupted Wasp, they were a little excited, thinking that they could finally watch a big battle. These flying creatures with some protective shells can definitely rank at the top in terms of lethality.

But now, they seem to have solved this problem.

The captain of the guard slid his throat, watching the soldiers reloading smoothly and quickly as if they were reloading a crossbow. After reloading, they immediately released fatal damage to the target, and a round of accurate shooting could send a corrupted wasp to the ground.

Stop resistance and cut off life.

Reloading once only takes five seconds.

The best rune shooter in the kingdom can only accurately shoot down corrupted wasps in the sky.

The captain of the guard imagined in his mind the scene of the soldiers/adventurers in the kingdom forming a line, and disappearing like corrupted wasps falling from the sky as the death sickle swept by. The captain of the guard also heard about the invasion of other colonies in the kingdom... Were they invaded by this kind of thing?

He shuddered.

He remembered that the last time he saw these soldiers, they were still using weapons that were extremely difficult to reload... When did they upgrade?
