Chapter 255: Chapter 232: The Insect King of Tianzhu Strikes! (8000)_2

Cui Weimin instructed Xuanwu to bring up the holographic map, marked with hundreds of red circles.

"These red circles indicate areas densely populated by the Zerg. The Insect Nest might be among them!"

"Your mission is to penetrate these areas, search for the Insect Nest location, and once the target is locked, our remote missiles will destroy it directly!"

"The areas you will search are overrun with Zerg, and there might even be nuclear-powered giant insects. You have no large-scale support, only the option to call in remote missiles, so it’s extremely dangerous!"

"This mission is crucial and will impact the outcome of the war! Do you all understand?"

"Understood!" everyone responded loudly.

"Good!" Cui Weimin said with satisfaction, "Your fighting spirit is impressive, and I trust your tactical skills. ’Not entering the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger cub?’ This mission is codenamed ’Hunting Tiger Operation’, and I will be directly commanding it. Qiu Hong, Jie Lang, and He Xiaolong will each lead a team."

"Now, proceed to the logistics department to receive your equipment." With that, Cui Weimin finished, and the team members assembled and headed to the logistics department, where Lv Mei had already prepared a large number of large crates.

The size of these crates was similar to sea freight containers. The team members were both curious and eager.

"Commander Lv, what kind of equipment do we have here?" Qiu Hong couldn’t help but ask.

Lv Mei smiled and said, "These are the latest batch of ground combat equipment manufactured by the military factory, and you are the first to use them!"

"Them? How many types are there?" He Xiaolong caught the keyword in her words and spoke with excitement.

"Let’s see them quickly!" Jie Lang said, "Everyone can’t wait any longer!"

"Yes!" the team members echoed eagerly.

Lv Mei pressed a control button and opened the first crate, revealing a light combat vehicle. Its size was smaller than armored vehicles, and its body was streamlined like a sports car, with armor made of a special alloy giving it a tech-savvy aesthetic!

"What is this?" Qiu Hong moved closer to look.

Lv Mei introduced, "This is your first set of equipment, the Tyrannosaurus Mecha, also known as the Tyrannosaurus Battle Car. It has strong land mobility, excellent off-road capability, and excavation capability, equipped with electromagnetic guns and laser weapons."

"Its exterior shell has a color-changing coating that can adapt to the environment. The interior features layers for electromagnetic and sonic interference protection, offering top-tier concealment and defense!"

"Awesome! This is way better than the armored vehicles we previously operated!" Deng Jian shouted, eager to try it out immediately.

"Imagine driving a Tyrannosaurus Battle Car with millions of insects chasing behind! Just thinking about it is thrilling!" Huang Sheng couldn’t help but fantasize.

"The first set?" Xiong Manni exclaimed with surprise, "Do we have other sets of equipment?"

Lv Mei looked at her and mysteriously said, "Next is the second set!"

She opened the second container, revealing mecha modules.

"I know this, it’s the laser array and arc array module!" a soldier shouted, "During the island war, this really wiped out the insects in droves!"

"Indeed, it’s the laser array and arc array, and each person gets a set!" Lv Mei said.

"Every person gets a set, that’s amazing!" Feng Xiaolong exclaimed excitedly, "In the past, not even one set was allocated to an entire combat unit!"

"It must be this way!" Lv Mei became serious, "You are infiltrating the Insect Nest, and you may very well find yourselves surrounded by a large swarm."

"These weapon array modules can wipe out small clusters during attacks and create a safe zone during retreats."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lv Mei continued, "The final set is personal armor, a light armor, not a heavy mecha!"

"Light armor?" They’re used to operating the Red Flame, at most having experienced the Red Dragon and Thunder Shark, but never equipped light armor.

The third box opened, revealing a light suit of armor standing as tall as a person.

With a silver coating, perfectly ergonomic lines and design, upon seeing it, Xiong Manni exclaimed, "Isn’t this Commander He’s Meteor Armor?"

"It really is the Meteor Armor, I’ve seen it in the news!" other soldiers recognized it too, having seen a news report showing He Xingzhou wearing an identical new armor at a university campus!

"It’s the Meteor Armor!" Lv Mei said, "The Meteor Armor is manufactured with nanotechnology, extremely expensive, costing over a billion per set! We can’t mass-produce them yet, so there are only a limited number of sets."

"The greatest advantage of the Meteor Armor isn’t in attack or defense, but in mobility!"

"It can accelerate to supersonic speeds in an extremely short time, just like a hyperloop, capable of reaching speeds of 20,000 kilometers per hour."

"At top speed, you can circle Earth in a little over two hours, matching the speed of our intercontinental cruise missiles!"

"Considering human endurance and range issues, truly circling the Earth in one go is still difficult."

"The Meteor Armor is your most crucial equipment for exploring the Insect Nest. With such mobility, unless you encounter something special, the insects can’t catch you!"

Upon hearing Lv Mei’s explanation, the team members were thrilled!

"It’s possible to circle the Earth in just a few hours! I dreamed of this as a kid, and now it’s actually coming true!"

"So cool!!!"

"With the Tyrannosaurus Battle Car, weapon arrays, and Meteor Armor, plus we can call missiles, I can’t see how this mission could fail!" Huang Sheng boasted.

"Don’t jinx it!" Deng Jian reminded, "Be cautious with your words!"
