Chapter 170 Trebuchet!
"Damn!!"

Lin Hui's curse came from beside him: "How can this thing be a line of defense that humans can break through?"

Xu Hongming, who was hiding at the edge of the forest and observing the battle from a distance, said nothing. After hearing Lin Hui's curse, he couldn't help but frown.

As Lin Hui said, these city walls guarded by [Martial Soldiers] and [Falcon Eagles] are not a line of defense that humans can break through at all.

At least it's almost impossible for humans now.

The power of those electromagnetic rapid-fire cannons is no joke - just now Xu Hongming saw a metal projectile the size of a fist smashing a deep pit nearly half a meter in diameter on the concrete wall in the distance!

Compared with the omnics in the resistance records, the current omnics undoubtedly have more advanced technology.

The resistance is constantly regressing, and the omnics are constantly evolving...

Thinking of this, Xu Hongming suddenly felt a little heavier.

He silently stared at the omnic production base in the distance, trying to find a breakthrough point.

The main thing is an offensive puller.

A nuclear warhead was lifted out of the tunnel by several people, and then...

In this way, his operating space will be huge!

Xu Hongming can only think of one reason:
The "master" of these omnics, the artificial intelligence named [Source], does not control the omnics in these production bases at this time.

Lin Hui: "...Ah?!"

It's better to explode than not to explode, right?

A metal storm roared over the forest, and the firelight of rocket explosions illuminated the faces of every resistance member.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Hongming's eyes suddenly lit up.

His guess was not wrong! The omnics in the production base in front of you will only perform passive defense work!
As for why this situation occurs...

but now……

In this regard, the rebels who have survived in the tunnels for decades have a say!

After waiting for a moment and confirming that there were no threats around, the muzzle of the electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon on the shoulder of the [Martial Soldier] who was waiting on the city wall slowly lowered.

According to Xu Hongming's original plan, the nuclear bomb would be detonated at the very edge of the forest, less than three thousand meters away from the omnic production base.

The reason may be the previous huge explosion of unknown origin near the Kukan Underground City.

The [Harrier Eagle] drone circled over the production base for several times before falling back inside the city wall again.

boom! boom! ! boom! ! !

Whoever comes up to play Landlord will throw Wangbang!

At this moment, the omnics in front of him were just rigid machines that would only react according to predetermined programs!

"Nuke the bomb."

Although this would significantly reduce the explosive power of the nuclear bomb,...

Isn't it just to circumvent the detection procedures of those omnics...

Xu Hongming's voice came again: "Try to wrap it as roundly as possible."

Considering that the distance is too far, the lethality of the nuclear bomb may be greatly affected. In his plan, the resistance forces need to "seduce" the omnic to the forest area as much as possible.

The best way to explode a nuclear bomb is undoubtedly to detonate it at high altitude.

But... today's resistance army simply does not have this condition!
Let alone airplanes, the current resistance forces don’t even have a usable drone!

It makes sense, a defense with gaps is easier to break after all!
"By the way, make some camouflage on the surface of the nuclear bomb. Pile all those vines, branches, leaves, etc. on it."

……

A nuclear bomb was launched before the battle even started?

"Go and shoot two more shots at that production base!"

But now, these omnics seem to be simply performing passive defense work!
As long as there are no threats around, they will stay safely in the production base!
In order to confirm his thoughts, Xu Hongming issued the order again.

It seems that the behavior of these omnics has changed a lot?
In the past, those omnics that were attacked were eager to search their surroundings to eliminate all potential threats.

So, a few minutes later.

Lin Hui suddenly realized.

The fire from the rocket explosion gradually dissipated.

Xu Hong gave an order to Lin Hui beside him in a concise and concise manner: "Just bring up the nuclear bomb."

"We must first make an opening in the defense line of this base." Seeing the doubts in the eyes of everyone around him, Xu Hongming explained simply.

Looking at the drone that took off again and landed inside the city wall again, the excitement in Xu Hongming's eyes became more intense.

Lin Hui: "Huh?"

Therefore, ground detonation became a helpless choice.

Under the confused gazes of the resistance members, the nuclear warhead was wrapped in layers of broad leaves like a beggar's chicken about to enter the stove.

Also seducing a hammer and throwing the nuclear bomb directly into the face of the omnic is the best explosion plan!

Gradually, this streamlined nuclear warhead was wrapped into a not-so-standard sphere.

In order to ensure the structural stability of the "Beggars Bomb", its outer layer was tightly tied twice with those mutated vines in the forest.

A simple trebuchet made of several sets of pulleys and motors stood quietly next to the nuclear bomb wrapped into a rice dumpling.

The pulleys and motors were removed from the tunnel.

The main trunk of the trebuchet was made on site from the trunks of the nearby mutated trees.

The main focus is an original and authentic taste.

This is Xu Hongming's plan.

Based on the resistance's experience over the past few decades, when [Source] is not involved, the omnic recognition program can only identify objects already in the database.

Weapons and equipment from the prosperous and post-prosperous eras are naturally recorded in that database - therefore, rockets will be intercepted and counterattacked by omnics.

But...Xu Hongming believes that as long as [Source]'s core processor and logic program are not broken, omnics will never include a vine ball made of dead branches and leaves into the database!
To be on the safe side, he specially had more than a dozen vine balls made for deception and experiment.

These vine balls with similar specifications to nuclear bombs did not contain any "private goods", but only a large number of dead branches and leaves and strong mutated vines.

"Prepare to launch the vine ball."

After all preparations were completed, Xu Hongming directly issued the order.

The buzzing sound of a high-power motor suddenly came from behind.

……

Swish!
A slightly dull sound of breaking through the air sounded above the head, and a yellow and green vine ball drew a beautiful parabola and flew straight towards the distant omnic production base.

After a short wait, [Martial Soldier] and [Falcon Eagle] entered the alert state again.

But unlike before, [Martial Soldier] only pointed the high-definition camera at the vine ball in the air, and the electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon on its shoulder did not fire.

[Falling leaves, safe. 】

[Vine, safe. 】

[Twigs, safe. 】

[Unknown spherical object... status unknown. 】

[Attempting to report to the central host... Warning, the link has been interrupted, and the reporting will be restarted in five minutes. 】

puff!
Just when [Martial Soldier] hesitated, the vine ball had already drawn an arc and landed straight on the ground.

Like a large basketball, it bounced on the ground a few times and then rolled towards the tall metal wall.

Eventually, it came to rest at the base of the metal wall.

A [Harrier] flew out from the wall and landed in front of the vine ball to inspect it.

After a short wait, it activated the electromagnetic cannon on its abdomen.

Puff puff! ! !
The powerful electromagnetic bullets fired at the vine ball, making a dull popping sound.

For a time, dead branches and leaves were flying all over the sky.

In just an instant, the vine ball completely fell apart and became dead branches and leaves scattered on the ground.

[Basic check has been completed and the target is not a threat. 】

Whoosh! !

Before the hawk could leave, another vine ball flew from the sky and landed not far away.

It’s the same testing process again.

[The target is not a threat, the target information has been entered, waiting for review by the central host...]

Whoosh! Whoosh! ! Whoosh! !
Several vine balls appeared near the production base.

This time, [Harrier] did not continue the inspection, but slowly took off and returned to the production base again.

Not only the [Harrier], but also the [Warrior] also completely put down the electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon on their shoulders.

"It's done!"

Xu Hongming's eyes flashed: "Quick, throw out all the remaining vine balls!"

"Save that nuke for last!"

He turned around and waved to the surrounding resistance members: "Everyone, prepare to retreat!"

Swish! !

The simple trebuchet is still diligently throwing seemingly harmless vine balls towards the production base ahead.

The last one, and the only vine ball that contained "private goods", made an extremely heavy sound of breaking through the air, and flew towards the omnic production base amidst the difficult roar of the motor.

In the distance, facing these non-threatening vine balls, [Martial Soldier] and [Falcon Eagle] did not make any reaction, they just stayed at their posts quietly and performed their defensive tasks.

The last vine ball fell to the ground with a dull crashing sound.

It did not bounce off the ground, but rolled slowly towards the metal wall in front of it under the action of inertia.

On the metal wall, the camera of [Martial Soldier] silently watched the last vine ball.

[Comparison completed, confirmed that the target is not a threat. 】

It retracted its gaze and looked at the empty forest again.

……

There was chaos in the rebel tunnels in the forest.

"Get out, get out, get out!"

Xu Hongming's expressionless face showed a rare look of anxiety: "Everyone, retreat immediately!!"

"The bomb will explode in an hour!"

"Retreat as far as you can!"

"If it doesn't work, go hide in Hai'an Dungeon!"

……

An hour passed.

These vine balls are still scattered randomly under the metal wall.

suddenly.

A dazzling light burst out from one of the vine balls!
boom! ! !
The violent energy slanted out from the vine ball, turned into a demon that devoured all things, and rushed straight towards the metal city wall beside it!
Zero range nuclear bomb attack!
Even though this metal wall is incredibly hard, it cannot withstand such violent fission energy!

With just one encounter, the metal city wall was torn into pieces under the firelight.

Naturally, the [Martial Soldiers] and [Falcon Eagles] above the city wall cannot escape this ending.

A huge mushroom cloud slowly rose from the surface, and a powerful explosion shock wave spread in all directions!
