The sulfur dioxide gas spreads through the village and penetrates through the gaps in the building. The variants hidden in the building quickly feel the "toxicity" of sulfur dioxide.

Their eyes were first stimulated, and bursts of burning sensations were heard, causing them to close their eyes to relieve the pain.

Then the respiratory organs, the trachea and lungs also felt a strong burning sensation. However, this time, they could not relieve the pain by stopping breathing.

Under severe stimulation, these mutants escaped from the building in a panic, trying to escape from this place where they felt pain in their breathing.

But after these variants stumbled for a while, their eyes began to red, swollen and cry under the poison of sulfur dioxide, and they almost lost their vision.

This led to many mutants hiding in the heart of the village and falling to the ground due to difficulty breathing. The mutants in the buildings outside the village were much luckier and successfully escaped towards the open area outside.

However, the outskirts of the village were surrounded by infantry from the First Battalion, and these staggering mutants immediately entered their range.

Bang bang bang...

For a moment, gunfire sounded from time to time around the village, and these escaped mutants were immediately shot and killed by the infantry of the first battalion.

As the gunshots slowly faded, no mutants in the village escaped.

About an hour later, as the concentration of sulfur dioxide gas in the village decreased, the infantry outside then entered the village wearing gas masks for the final cleaning.

At this time, there were still mutants in the village, but their respiratory organs were damaged and they were in a state of extreme hypoxia, and they all lost their ability to move.

After the soldiers entered the village, they did not need to fight any battles, they just needed to replenish guns on these mutant lying on the ground.

Scrambles of gunfire came from the village. After the combat teams cleared their areas, they immediately reported until the entire village was completely cleaned up.

With the recovery of Lianshan Village, the other three infantry battalions also carried out their own practical training.

With the help of poison gas bombs, the villages in the north of the old city were recovered one by one, and the next target was Lingchuan Old Town.

After two days of rest and supply, several infantry battalions gathered and rolled towards the wilderness in the northern suburbs of the old city.

A huge convoy of more than 1,600 people and a hundred and fifty armored vehicles was shipped out on the road for nearly two kilometers.

Although the fleet contains a large number of steam modified vehicles, the fleet is not moving fast.

But the thick smoke emitted by the steam armored vehicles filled the sky above the convoy, forming a large cloud of dark clouds, which looked amazing from a distance.

beep--

With the sound of steam armored vehicles, the convoy finally drove into the wilderness in the north of the old city.

As the battlefield that had previously annihilated 70,000 mutants in Lingchuan City, even after a long period of cleaning, the bodies were burned and the craters were filled, the soil here still showed a dark red color that could not fade for a long time.

Just as the convoy entered the wilderness, an airship also rose from the base and flew over the old city, and this airship was the command center of the battle.

In the airship, Liu Zheng stood in front of the window with a telescope, observing the situation of the convoy. He was the commander of this battle.

Originally, the base mobilization was promoted by Wu Xin. It is logical that Wu Xin should be the commander of this battle, but Liu Zheng snatched this position.

It’s not that he wanted to compete with Wu Xin for merit, but because Wu Xin had never commanded such a large-scale battle and had not even received relevant military training.

Wu Xin himself knew this. He had only commanded more than 100 people in his previous life. Faced with such a large number of troops, he did not have this experience in combat command in the entire old city.

Although Liu Zheng did not have such experience, at least he had seen real big scenes in the army after formal military training.

From a military perspective, he is indeed more competent than Wu Xin.

Of course, Liu Zheng also had another consideration, that is, if this battle fails, he plans to take all the blame.

Although Wu Xin had previously revealed that she had asked him to take over after failing to step down, Liu Zheng was unwilling to see such a situation.

Because Wu Xin is still very young compared to himself, he still has a lot of room for growth in the future, and the base also needs a courageous and responsible leader like him.

If Wu Xin really stepped down due to the failure of this battle, it would be a loss for both Wu Xin and the base.

Compared to his aging self, ensuring Wu Xin's reign is a rational and long-term approach. Of course, in addition to being a public, Liu Zheng also has some personal considerations. After all, Wu Xin is his son-in-law!

"The main force is in the bridgehead position, so be careful to guard against abnormal movements of the variant."

Seeing that the convoy entered the predetermined position step by step, Liu Zheng put away his messy thoughts, picked up the intercom and started to issue orders.

"I understand!" The voice replying on the walkie-talkie was Wu Xin.

In order to prevent the mutant from sneaking into the bridgehead position on the west bank of the Lingchuan River Bridge and then threatening the base, someone must stay behind to command it here.

This mission was naturally taken down by Wu Xin. Although he did not have the ability to command the entire battle, he was more than enough to command and defend a stronghold.

"Ao————”

Suddenly, waves of howling came from the old city, and this large formation at the base made the mutant begin to react.

On the roof of a building in the bridgehead position, Wu Xin took a telescope to observe the situation inside while reporting to Liu Zheng: "The mutant has abnormal movements in the command boat!"

After receiving the report, Liu Zheng immediately asked the soldiers on the airship to release the drone and approach to observe the situation in the city.

But when the drone was approaching more than ten meters above the ground, it was suddenly thrown and attacked. A large piece of gravel was thrown out from a building next to the drone and shot down the drone to the ground.

At the same time, the howlings of mutants on the ground were increasing, extending from the north of the old city to the south, but after a while, the howlings came back from the south to the north.

Subsequently, a large number of variants hiding in the northern edge of the city began to gather in the city, as if they were planning to shrink their troops and lure the enemy into depth.

Not only that, as the variants shrink, the variants near the bridgehead fortress in the West Bank also gather here.

"The bridgehead position, the mutant shows signs of moving towards you!"

The airship sent a warning message to Wu Xin, but Wu Xin had already noticed it because there were traces of mutants in the surrounding buildings.

The mutation that had not appeared nearby for a long time suddenly emerged, and its intention was also obvious.
Chapter completed!
