322: Chapter 322: Earth-penetrating missile air strike

Shen Tu Zheng Hao and Baili Ji reconnected by phone, and he immediately sent the location information marked by Dai Zheng back to the council.

He needed to request an aerial strike from the council.

It was almost dark, and after dark, the zombies could come out and move around. Once they escaped, it would be even more difficult to completely eliminate them.

Moreover, the Armored Ants Dai Zheng mentioned could join the battle at any time. If they attacked, they would become living targets.

The best course of action now was to directly launch an aerial strike on the zombies' hidden locations, which would allow them to be eliminated at the lowest cost.

Shen Tu Zheng Hao quickly received authorization.

Twenty-three DCS-6 type bunker-buster missiles were launched from a missile base in the Northwest Military Region.

He intended to destroy those Armored Ants and zombies in one go.

The flight speed of the DCS-6 type bunker-buster missiles could reach 1 kilometer per second, and they could arrive in Batuo City within ten to twenty minutes after being launched from the Northwest Military Region.

However, these 23 missiles were destined to hit nothing.

At the same time Dai Zheng revealed this intelligence, the Bee Queen had already begun attacking the several locations where the zombies were hidden.

For it to develop here, it needed those crystalss.

Over a million zombies meant at least a million crystalss, which were enough for the Bee Queen to build a small-scale underground base here.

On the other side, after Ling Su obtained Ling Tian's approval, she began mobilizing the Giant Ant Legion to advance towards Wu La Han District. This decision just happened to prevent the Antss from being completely wiped out.

When the Giant Ant Legion began to move, Dai Zheng received the news.

"Report!" Dai Zheng quickly ran to find Shen Tu Zheng Hao.

"Enter!" Shen Tu Zheng Hao had already issued the launch command at this point.

"Commander, there's a situation! Those Armored Ants have moved out!" Dai Zheng said.

"What?" Shen Tu Zheng Hao stood up abruptly.

"It's absolutely true. They are currently on their way here, and I'm afraid the aerial strike will not be effective," Dai Zheng said.

"When did this happen?" Shen Tu Zheng Hao asked.

"It's probably been over ten minutes," Dai Zheng said.

Shen Tu Zheng Hao looked at his watch; he had issued the order only five minutes ago. So, ruling out the possibility of information leakage, this must have been a coincidence.

"Sigh!" Shen Tu Zheng Hao sighed.

However, the missiles had already been launched and could not be recalled.

"Commander, what's wrong?" Dai Zheng asked.

Shen Tu Zheng Hao glanced at him, did not respond, but instead said:

"The battle in Batuo City won't end anytime soon. I need you to carry out another mission."

"Commander, just give the order," Dai Zheng said, standing at attention.

"Currently, there are still nearly a hundred thousand Citizens of Huaguo whose whereabouts are unknown. I hope you can find out as soon as possible," Shen Tu Zheng Hao said.

"Yes! Mission accomplished!" Dai Zheng responded.

"We also captured over a dozen prisoners before; you can take a few of them and see if you can extract any useful intelligence," Shen Tu Zheng Hao said.

"That's great. With these prisoners, I think it will be much smoother," Dai Zheng replied.

"Don't be too optimistic. These prisoners are Modified humans, very stubborn, and the information they provide needs to be carefully verified for authenticity. Do not underestimate them, lest you suffer a great loss," Shen Tu Zheng Hao reminded him.

Their current encirclement in Batuo City was partly due to the false intelligence provided by that female Modified human.

"Don't worry, Commander, I know what I'm doing," Dai Zheng said confidently.

"Good, then go," Shen Tu Zheng Hao waved his hand.

Dai Zheng saluted and left.

Over ten minutes later, over twenty missiles arrived in Batuo City.

Twenty-odd locations in Gaole District and Zhuerhe District exploded simultaneously, with loud rumbling sounds. The ground trembled violently.

The temple in the northern part of Batuo City was not included in the attack targets.

There were still over three thousand people there, and direct bombing would be inhumane.

Subsequently, Shen Tu Zheng Hao ordered all 60,000 Simulation Spider Robots to be dispatched. At the same time, a portion of the flying robots were also sent out to investigate the movements of the Armored Ants.

The advantage of Simulation Spider Robots was their high mobility and extremely well-coordinated combat capabilities. Therefore, waiting for the Armored Ants to come to them was too passive, so Shen Tu Zheng Hao decided to take the initiative.

Those dung beetless posed no threat to the Simulation Spider Robots, so their existence could be completely ignored.

Because he knew the hiding places of those Armored Ants in advance, Shen Tu Zheng Hao could also roughly determine their movement paths. This way, the Simulation Spider Robots could completely intercept them halfway and eliminate them one by one.

The situation was roughly as he expected; the flying robots quickly sent back footage showing the Armored Ants crawling south simultaneously on multiple streets.

However, due to being equipped with various armor and thermal weapons, their movement speed was very, very slow. It was estimated to be about the same as a person's walking speed.

Bale District is located directly north of Wu La Han District, relatively close, while Zhuerhe District is to the northwest of Wu La Han District, further away. Therefore, the Armored Ants could not arrive in Wu La Han District simultaneously, which created very convenient conditions for the Simulation Spider Robots to carry out a piecemeal annihilation.
