On the Picasso Bridge, a large number of blockade stone pillars were piled up as cover.
General Ross and Lieutenant General A Luo De were deploying.
A large number of missile launchers ensured that this place was as solid as a rock, and thousands of Black Hawk Armed Helicopters made the sky as impenetrable as an iron barrel.
Three hundred thousand Marine Corps troops were encamped at the end of the Picasso Bridge; due to special combat readiness, their weapons were changed from assault rifles to light machine guns, which was an extreme test of the soldiers' physical fitness.
Communicator: "Report, General Ross, the military headquarters has sent a telegram. Satellite imagery shows a terrifying group of creatures moving from the Red Zone to the Green Zone. Their target is... the Picasso Bridge."
General Ross and Lieutenant General A Luo De were greatly alarmed and immediately checked the military report. On the screen, a dazzling number of thermal reactions were passing through the Quarantine Yellow Zone, moving from the Red Zone to the Green Zone.
General Ross said, "Based on our understanding of the Dominator, his Zerg have species that are very good at digging, but on the Picasso Bridge, there's nothing they can do. Below is all seawater. Is this a desperate move, sending out their entire army?"
"Order the fighter jets to take off and release solid incendiary bombs to reduce their numbers, otherwise, this many will be extremely disadvantageous to us," Lieutenant General A Luo De ordered.
From warships in the nearshore waters, several fighter jets took off, carrying solid incendiary bombs, heading to the designated targets for deployment.
Although fighter jets are fast, can deploy accurately, and have some air combat capability, they require too much from the pilots and are very expensive. Therefore, they are not as common as helicopter pilots.
Sidewinder 1: "Arriving at the drop point, preparing to proceed..."
Dandelion 4: "Arriving at drop point 2, preparing to drop."
Destroyer 41: "Drop point 3 in position."
Three 10,000 kg solid incendiary bombs were released simultaneously from three drop points.
The Arachnid Big Claws burrowed out of the ground only to be bombed by solid incendiary bombs, and the instantaneous temperature of tens of thousands of degrees instantly carbonized the Big Claws' bodies.
The Arachnid advanced through a sea of fire several thousand degrees hot, with only tens of thousands dying due to the instantaneous high-temperature wind pressure generated by the explosion.
General Ross and Lieutenant General A Luo De were dumbfounded. What were these Zerg? They weren't burned to Death in high temperatures?!
Moreover, as more and more Arachnid emerged from the ground, the sea of fire was extinguished by the bodies of these Big Claws.
General Ross, despite his extensive experience, felt a chill.
This was the advantage of numbers!
Inside the Overlord in the air, Lin Fan said, "If the bombing had been any slower, the casualties among the Big Claws would have exceeded a hundred thousand. But now..."
Sidewinder 1: "Are you ready for the second bombing?"
"Drop them immediately!" General Ross roared.
Although these Big Claws were not afraid of flames, solid incendiary bombs could still eliminate them, which was enough for a second deployment.
However, at this moment, a new type of Zerg appeared among the Big Claws—a strange Zerg resembling a scorpion, with its tail held high. It condensed energy and blasted Sidewinder 1 in low altitude.
Sidewinder 1 was blown up, and the solid incendiary bombs on its fuselage were detonated in the air, turning the sky into a fiery cloud.
The massive fiery cloud spread out, affecting two nearby fighter jets, causing their System to malfunction and sending them plummeting towards the ground.
However, they were blown up by Laser Scorpion before they even hit the ground!!
General Ross and Lieutenant General A Luo De exchanged glances.
At this time, due to the fiery cloud, the satellite's thermal map malfunctioned, making it impossible to identify the movements of the Arachnid within it, creating a blind spot all the way to the Picasso Bridge.
"Quick, dispatch armored vehicles, replace with liquid nitrogen and foam adhesive, and withdraw all flamethrowers. These things have too high a resistance to flames," General Ross said.
Lieutenant General A Luo De said, "Also, warn all soldiers: this is Manhattan's last gate. If it falls, the consequences will be unimaginable. Use your lives to hold the line; these things cannot be allowed to get out."
A sharp siren blared on the Picasso Bridge.
On numerous heavy armored vehicles, fuel tanks were replaced with liquid nitrogen and foam adhesive, standing ready as outposts against the Arachnid.
All soldiers took up their equipment and got into position.
General Ross was giving his final motivational speech: "Soldiers, those hateful Zerg are about to break through, but don't forget, behind you are your wives, children, parents, and friends. Show your courage and fight these damned Zerg to the Death, otherwise, you will surely regret it."
"Black Hawk Armed Helicopters, watch out for the long-range Destroyers in the Zerg. Conduct Rocket pod bombardments when appropriate. In an emergency, you can destroy the Picasso Bridge," Lieutenant General A Luo De was responsible for commanding and motivating the air forces.
The Arachnid Big Claws surged forward, but the Picasso Bridge was only 100 meters wide, which somewhat restricted their charge.
On the heavy armored vehicles, multi-purpose long-range spray guns shot out rapidly hardening foam adhesive. This composite Materials was once used to suppress the Hulk, but the Hulk's strength almost constantly refreshed, greatly reducing the effectiveness of this new type of Materials.
Much of the foam landed on the Big Claws, then immediately solidified and hardened into a yellowish-gray substance, trapping the Big Claws within and preventing them from advancing.
The effect of the foam adhesive was truly unexpected, delighting General Ross and Lieutenant General A Luo De, but this joy only lasted for a few short seconds.
Three or four gigantic beetles, Tank Worms, emerged from underground. Their foreheads flashed with electricity, and they spewed flammable gastric fluid from their mouths, melting the continuously accumulating hardened foam in front of them.
The Big Claws continued to advance.
Laser Scorpion hid among the Big Claws; their body strength was only Zero-rank, ordinary people could kill them, but their mental strength reached third-rank, and the energy pulses shot from their tails could rival Rocket missiles.
Even heavy armored vehicles could not withstand sustained bombardment from such energy pulses for long.
Basically, ten or more Laser Scorpion could instantly smash a heavy armored vehicle.
The 20mm thick armor was effectively useless, and the operators inside couldn't even escape.
The Arachnid successfully ascended the Picasso Bridge.
