Chapter 157 The Clearance of the Left Half of the Steel Plant is Complete
To avoid alerting smaller enemy units, the cat does not intend to use the energy-charge mode for shooting.
However, to maximize the damage of this shot, the cat loaded an armor-piercing high-explosive round into the chamber.
Using information transmitted back from the reconnaissance aircraft, the cat, under the cover of the bushes, had already located the small individual's position.
As time passed, the small creature seemed to relax slowly. When the reconnaissance plane's camera captured its turning motion, the cat raised the sniper-type Gauss rifle on its back and fired the armor-piercing high-explosive round from the chamber.
With a crisp, clean explosion, the small individual scrambled back to the warehouse.
Images transmitted back by the reconnaissance aircraft show that the armor-piercing high-explosive shell successfully severed one of the legs of the small individual.
Then, in the familiar formation, Tengu led a strike team to completely surround the warehouse.
Since the other warehouse was still in an unknown state, Qiexue and Diting led the assault team 2, the reconnaissance team, and Roy to surround it.
Subsequently, with Roy's help, the warehouse door was opened, and two unmanned combat vehicles from the Listening and Reconnaissance teams quietly entered the warehouse to begin their reconnaissance mission.
Di Ting followed behind one of the unmanned combat vehicles and quietly entered the warehouse in the shadow of the unmanned combat vehicle.
The situation inside this warehouse is different from that of the one next door. The large number of steel plates stored in this warehouse are still in place, and there are no drag marks on the ground.
After surveying the ground, the photoelectric probe on the back of the Listening device rotated upwards to check the top of the warehouse.
It would have been better if they hadn't checked. But listening carefully, they discovered a small, suspicious heat source on the top of the gantry crane above the warehouse. Its infrared signature was similar to that of the small individuals they had previously eliminated, but the intensity was much weaker.
Subsequently, Diting adjusted the sensitivity of the photoelectric probe and carefully scanned the space above the warehouse.
From the perspective of thermal imaging, four unknown humanoid figures were seen lying on the four corners of the warehouse roof.
Upon discovering the anomaly, Diting did not immediately use radio to contact Roy and Qiexue outside the warehouse. Instead, it pretended that everything was normal and completed the second round of inspections together with the unmanned combat vehicle.
When leaving the warehouse, Di Ting did not hide in the shadow of the unmanned vehicle, but instead left the warehouse first and came to Roy's side.
Di Ting silently raised one leg and tapped Roy's front leg, then silently drove towards the middle of the two warehouses.
After Roy and Qiexue followed Diting to the road between the two warehouses, Roy controlled the robotic arm to pull out two data cables from his back and connected them to Diting and Qiexue, who were standing nearby.
Through the wired network, Diting informed the two mechanical dogs of the anomaly it had just discovered in the warehouse.
Roy then activated the radio detection device inside his body and set it to maximum power, successfully capturing the extremely weak radio signal.
After a brief discussion, the three mechanical dogs unanimously agreed that the small individual in the adjacent warehouse must have been abandoned, otherwise the reconnaissance team would have been riddled with bullets the moment they entered the warehouse.
Although they concluded that the special individuals inside the warehouse would not act rashly, just in case, Kheshig decided to lead Assault Team 2 to guard the warehouse.
Roy and Diting returned to the side of Tiangou and Maomao with the reconnaissance team, and told Tiangou, Maomao and Xuantie about what happened in the warehouse next door through the wired network.
Infrared images taken by cats reveal that these unique individuals with low detectability have a "tube" about one meter long on each of their arms.
After learning the details, the robotic dogs maintained their wired connection and began moving towards the middle of the two warehouses.
Subsequently, Tengu used 10% of the computing power of the other mechanical dogs to command the assault team to launch a probing attack.
At the same time, he did not stop the discussion on the wired network.
Cat's hummingbird drone landed on the warehouse gantry crane, providing vision for the assault team that was conducting a probing attack.
Using the vision provided by the Hummingbird drone, the assault team activated X-ray vision, and a large number of 8mm steel nails flew towards the small individual with the tumor-like leg.
After being hit by an 8mm steel nail, the small individual with the tumor-like leg rolled over lazily, straightened up slightly, and began to retaliate using its electromagnetic weapon.
Before he could fire even a few kinetic energy projectiles, several 8mm steel nails pierced its body. Sensing the damage it was inflicted, the small creature could only helplessly roll around on the ground to avoid the 8mm steel nails fired by the assault team.
Seeing that the enemy began to move, Tengu commanded the assault team to suppress them with concentrated firepower, luring them to a leaky bunker.
During the process of inducing them to move, the outer walls of the warehouse, the steel plates stored inside the warehouse, and the iron barrels in the middle of the warehouse used to store the larvae were all damaged to varying degrees.
The small individual emitted angry radio waves while dodging the fire of the assault team.
The induction was successful, and the small individual's movement trajectory followed the dog's prediction exactly.
After luring them to the cover, two unmanned combat vehicles that were waiting in the rear quickly moved forward under the cover of their teammates' firepower, quickly took up advantageous terrain, and then began to suppress the small individuals behind the cover with firepower.
Subsequently, more unmanned combat vehicles began to enter the warehouse, maintaining firepower suppression while gradually expanding the encirclement, pinning the small individual behind cover and rendering it unable to move.
At the same time, Roy detected a radio wave originating from the right half of the steel plant.
The good news is that their guess was correct, and they may have narrowly escaped a deadly threat.
The bad news is that the right half of the steel plant has more buildings and a more complex terrain, making it extremely difficult to clear out.
If the enemy has deployed a large number of specialized units inside the building, these unmanned combat groups are very likely to be wiped out and unable to complete the task of clearing out the steel plant.
Since it is unclear whether the other side has deciphered our communication channels and language, in order to avoid attracting attention, the robotic dogs can only wait for a suitable opportunity to send a radio message to the flagship for help.
[The small individual inside the warehouse has been eliminated; Assault Team 1's mission is complete.]
The perfect opportunity has arrived!
Roy disconnected from Xuan Tie, Mao Mao, and Di Ting, and entered the warehouse used for raising young animals with Tian Gou.
Under the escort of the assault team, the two robotic dogs inspected the warehouse before preparing to transmit the information and images back to the flagship.
Under Roy's operation, the distress call was cleverly hidden in the image and sent to the reconnaissance aircraft that was on standby in the air.
