Breakthrough to the Gate Level!
Chapter 1648 Breakthrough to the Gate Level!
Gate-level BETA.
Upon seeing the Gate-level BETA controlling the next path to the main hall from afar, Banshee Gundam raised its right hand, and all the mobile suits following behind it immediately slowed down and dispersed to occupy all the attack positions, leaving Banshee Gundam alone to face the Gate-level BETA.
He Ming lowered his gaze and looked at the large BETA that served as the portal to the various passages inside the nest, and an idea arose in his mind.
This large BETA, which appears to be fixed to the ground and unresponsive to any outsiders entering its nest, is actually a venomous snake lying on the ground playing dead.
Once an outsider approaches the portal controlled by the gate-level BETA, the gate-level BETA will suddenly release a strong high-voltage current to kill the outsider.
The protagonist's team in the original timeline deeply understands this point.
But He Ming would not knowingly step into a trap.
"Number one, number two, missiles targeting the fortress! Number three, chain-type armor-piercing mines, prepare!"
At He Ming's command, two GM-2 helicopters, having just completed a round of ammunition resupply, came up with heavy missiles and unleashed a barrage of fire at the tightly closed gate.
Amidst several flashes of fire, a heavy missile, specifically designed to target the thick armor of large targets, struck the tightly closed door without hindrance.
"boom!"
"boom!"
As Banshee Gundam raised her left hand to shield her eyes, she also gave the order to activate the chain-type armor-piercing mines to GM-3 II.
The ready-to-go GM-3 II charged forward swiftly, and under the cover of the intense light from the explosion, it approached the portal with lightning speed, then flicked its wrist to attach the chain-type armor-piercing mine to the portal that had been shattered by the heavy missile.
"five!"
"···"
"one!"
As the countdown began, GM-23 quickly returned to Banshee Gundam, removed the shield from its back, and held it in front of it. A more violent explosion suddenly followed.
The surging flames, the scorching heat, and the shattered portal all demonstrated that the traps of the Gate-level BETA were completely ineffective.
With a flick of his wrist, He Ming's Banshee Gundam raised her right hand, and a beam of flame swept across, destroying the brainstem of the Gate-class BETA and completely thwarting the Gate-class BETA's plot to ambush them with high-voltage current.
"go!"
Seeing the portal, still warm from the explosion and with its entrance wide open, the assault team, led by Banshee Gundam, was the first to rush into the final stretch of road leading to the core hall.
Meanwhile, Christina's assault team also encountered a gate-level BETA.
Perhaps due to the influence of He Ming's actions, when Christina's team appeared in front of the Gate BETA, they saw hundreds of BETAs of all sizes waiting for them, and among these BETAs, there seemed to be some Light-class BETAs.
"Reaction that fast?"
Christina's eyes flashed, and her expression turned somewhat serious.
Other betas are manageable, but light-based betas are more challenging.
After looking up and around, she gradually formed an idea in her mind.
"Nana, do you have a way to snipe those beam-level BETAs later? And also take out the weaknesses of the general-level BETAs!"
"Yes! As long as we can attract their attention."
"I can say that with certainty as I pilot the specially equipped sniper GM," Nana said confidently.
"Alright! Everyone, defensive stance, follow me! Make sure you don't fall behind!"
Without hesitation, Christina immediately controlled her Gundam NT1 Custom Shield and charged out.
The other team members did the same, adding shields and following suit. Of course.
Christina wasn't acting recklessly; she deliberately found an Assault-class BETA as cover, preventing the Ray-class BETAs from immediately sniping Christina's Gundam NT1 Kai and the mobile suits piloted by her teammates. This forced them to break away from the protection of other BETAs and move to a position where they could snipe the mobile suits.
This process provided the perfect opportunity for Nana, the sniper, to launch her attack.
"One!"
Two!
"three!"
While Christina and the others were constantly drawing away the Assault-class BETAs, intentionally causing them to change positions and disrupting the attack routes of the Beam-class BETAs, Nana was already counting the number of kills while changing the muzzle of her gun, quickly reaping the Beam-class BETAs.
"The last one! Captain!"
After Nana destroyed the last Ray-class BETA, she shouted and pointed her gun at the Gate-class BETA.
"Buzz!"
As a beam of light swept across the head of the Assault-class BETA, it accurately struck the Gate-class BETA, but instead of killing it instantly, it continued to irritate the Gate-class BETA's every move with pain.
"Don't die so easily!"
While extending her left hand to adjust the output of the sniper beam rifle on the control keyboard on the left, Nana observed the actions of the Gate-level BETA after it was hit.
The massive portal trembled incessantly, as if in great pain.
"Just as the intelligence indicated, it's alive. Well then, excuse me! Open the door for us!"
As Nana slightly twisted the knob on her left hand that controlled the sniper beam output, the portal controlled by the Gate-level BETA trembled more and more violently, even Christina and the others who were clearing out the Assault-level BETAs could feel it.
"Earthquake?! Nana. What happened?"
"No! It's just a death throes. It's nothing!"
Nana smiled confidently and finally locked in the most suitable output frequency.
"Buzz!"
The deadly beam suddenly pierced through the brainstem region of the gate-level BETA, successfully opening that tightly closed door.
"Phew! Done! Captain. Why go through all that trouble? Just use firepower to clear the way, like Colonel Ming said!"
Nana rolled her eyes and complained.
They were just comfortably paving the way with endless ammunition, but they had to stop at the Gate BETA level and cause this mess.
"This is for the future. Not every time will we be able to have such an unimaginable supply of ammunition as we do with Colonel Ming."
Christina said with a stern face.
"What's there to worry about? Just follow Colonel Ming, right? I heard he's planning to form a special unit specifically to deal with these monstrous insects! How about..."
"Lieutenant Nana, we are now in combat readiness! Focus!"
"Yes! Captain!"
Christina's squad is the second squad, following the squad led by He Ming, to enter the second phase of the assault operation.
The team consisting of Guang Haifeng and his two companions followed closely behind, and further back were the various assault teams that had already undergone the first round of pilot rotation.
