Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 450 Section 446 - Heaven Retains the Guest, I Do Not Retain

What would it be like to be recklessly impacted by a herd of horses?

It might feel like a small boat caught in a stormy sea. Despite weighing nearly 80 tons, the Mobile Base Vehicle still seemed vulnerable to impacts, with one side of its five pairs of load-bearing wheels occasionally lifting off the ground under the continuous barrage.

The entire cabin shook violently nonstop, and had it not been for the seatbelts, those inside would likely have been thrown around.

A horse weighs about 300 kilograms, so the total weight of 331 horses would be about 99 tons. Adding the force of acceleration, if they could maintain a certain rhythm, they would be capable of flipping the Mobile Base Vehicle, which was about 20 meters long, right there on the spot.

The Mobile Base Vehicle, engulfed by the horse herd, was completely immobilized, only able to endure the horses' reckless and desperate charges.

The crazed horses could even leap more than a meter high, slamming into the vehicle, one after another.

"Have these horses gone mad? Fire, fire!"

Initially concerned about the herdsmen's assets, the officer, seeing no hope of escape, had no choice but to issue an extremely difficult command.

The higher-ups were probably going to face heavy compensation, as a horse was not cheap.

"There are cattle coming up behind us, should we fire at them too?"

The stony-hearted Chen Fei had already issued a warning.

With the loss of drone surveillance, the scouting radius of the Mobile Base Vehicle was not sufficient to completely avoid the nearest herds of cattle and horses, and who knew if more large livestock were approaching from nearby.

The Mobile Base Vehicle had initially smashed through with blood and flesh flying everywhere, but after several horses depleted the vehicle's kinetic energy, its speed quickly dropped to a critical point, no longer strong enough to break through the encircling herd of horses.

"What? There's more behind?"

The officer looked at the creature in the cage with a complex expression; this creature was the biggest troublemaker, continuously producing new troublemakers.

The most noticeable difference between firearms and other weapons is the sound of bullets being fired. The Railgun Combat Rifle was much quieter, but the bullets, given several times the speed of sound, easily penetrated the bodies of the horses, carrying on to pierce through the next horse, and sometimes even several horses in a row.

Although the horses were in a frenzy, they still felt pain, their cries echoing one after another.

With about a dozen railgun rifles firing at once, the scene resembled a massacre. In an instant, a large number of horse corpses lay outside the vehicle, some dead from the impact, but many more were shot dead by the Railgun Combat Rifles on the spot.

The Mobile Base Vehicle remained surrounded by layers upon layers of horse corpses, its wheels slipping continuously in the bloody mud, unable to squeeze out for the time being.

To break through, they would probably need to move those horse corpses first.

Seeing the hesitation on the other side, Chen Fei urged, "Make a decision quickly; if you get any closer, the railguns won't be able to open fire."

He could understand the other side's sentiment; the army's sacred duty was to protect the lives and property of the people, and now the railgun rifles were slaughtering what was the property of the people, making such a decision indeed required significant courage.

Another group of cattle was approaching in the distance, like Pandora's Box being opened — once opened, there was no closing it back.

"Only eight hundred meters left!"

The distance had been less than a kilometer when "Adam" issued the warning.

The blind spot radius of the railgun on the roof of the mobile base vehicle was about 30 meters, but... the demolition bomb's killing radius was around 300 meters.@@@@

If the distance was too close, they could certainly fire, but that would mean the mobile base vehicle would also fall within the firing range, a single shot could indeed obliterate the enemy target, but they would likely suffer as well.

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible to fire within a hundred-meter range.

"Fire!"

The officer, of course, was aware of the limitations of artillery strikes, which were more advantageous the farther the target was, with close range easily causing hesitation and lots of concerns.

"Launch!"

Chen Fei gently uttered the word.

"The Wolf King? Can this work?"

The officer was half-doubtful; this act was catching everyone off-guard.

"Who knows? Just howl a few times!"

Chen Fei was just giving it a shot in the dark, not knowing if it would work, but figured that howling a few times definitely couldn't hurt.

"Wow~~ Ooooo!"

It appeared that the leading wolf howled back.

Hurriedly, Chen Fei howled as well; in the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area, no wolf could escape his pat on the head.

"Really freaking weird!"

The officer frowned, his body breaking out in goosebumps, as if there was indeed another wolf that had eerily appeared in the compartment.

"Wow~~ Ooooo!" "Wow~~ Ooooo!" "Wow~~ Ooooo!"

You howl, I howl, howling at each other for a long while.

Yet, the pack of wolves gathered together, suddenly charging towards the Mobile Base Vehicle.

"They're coming!"

A soldier quickly sounded the alarm.

"Fire!" The officer ordered without hesitation.

Then again, there was a series of whooshing sounds through the air, continuous wails echoing.

Although wild wolves were being killed on the spot by steel core bullets, their speed was faster and they were more cunning, not running in straight lines, repeatedly darting in Z-shapes. One wolf successfully broke through under the vehicle, a blind spot for the Railgun Combat Rifle.

Just as a soldier was about to stuff a grenade through the firing hole, a loud "Boom!~" was heard. The Mobile Base Vehicle shook, and the wolf that had rushed underneath was blown out, crashing heavily among the carcasses of the horses, howling in pain, unable to rise until a steel core bullet pierced its skull.

The officer asked uncertainly, "What blew up?"

Although he had his suspicions, he still wanted to get the answer from Chen Fei.

Chen Fei helplessly said, "A tire blew up!"

Then he added, "That's not the main issue, the urgent task is to move the bodies in front of the vehicle."

Otherwise, they would just have to wait for them to freeze naturally, and then the Mobile Base Vehicle would have to forcefully push its way out.

However, it was certain that staying here would definitely not bring anything good.

Chen Fei looked at the troublemaker inside the cage; all these messy attacks were the last-ditch struggles concocted by the opponent.

Once delivered to the destination, it would have nothing to do with him.

"I'll arrange for people to move the bodies, hmm, at least two, no, four people are needed."

The officer's manpower was limited, needing to continue on guard while keeping an eye on the middle task target in the cage, unable to dispatch more mobile personnel.

"No, I can do it alone; you all stay in the vehicle."

Chen Fei walked towards the vehicle door.

Suddenly, he halted, stood in his tracks, and did not move an inch.
