Chapter 69
So close, so far away.
Several groups may not have heard this sentence, but they definitely understand what it means.
The one who traveled the farthest among them was the F2 team who started from the rear of the vehicle. They waded through the gradually deepening seawater, passed six military trucks, crossed the triple trailer fence, and advanced 100 meters in extremely difficult conditions! More importantly,
Along the way, you will also be hunted crazily by "mimic" aliens.
Along the way, I abandoned my equipment, gave up counterattack, and didn't even look back to save my comrades. I finally climbed over the last obstacle and arrived only a few meters away from the target E2 truck.
However, the huge wave coming towards me firmly blocked him next to the E3 truck!
You must know that the E3 truck is the truck loaded with individual missiles and explosives. It has been set to self-destruct and is entering the final countdown... It is simply desperate!
The self-destruction program cannot be deactivated, even the E3 team is lying here!
Of course, no one can surpass F2 in terms of sadness. They really gave up everything, but in the end they moved themselves from one god of death to another. Apart from complaining about the unfair fate, what else can they say?
At this time, let alone moving forward, I was already trying my best to hold on to the fence and not be washed away by the water.
The water was not that deep originally.
The culprit is indeed that when the speeding locomotive splits the seawater submerged on the rails, the wedge-shaped water ripples formed are like the water waves set off on the left and right sides behind the speedboat speeding on the lake.
However, this is not a wide water surface but an undersea tunnel!
The wedge-shaped water ripples spread and hit the concave tunnels on both sides, and then turned back, forming higher water waves that hit the trailer behind... It is unknown whether a shock wave effect was formed when the train was at its highest speed.
You need to take a pen and calculate it.
However, the reality is that as the seawater floods the railway track and the driving resistance increases, the speed of the train has been reduced a lot. However, the train moves forward at full power to push a larger mass of water, and the final wave hits the position at the E3 point... I am afraid that this accident is
No one could have predicted it at the beginning of the plan.
(Wang Hu and Ren Gu both nodded: That’s right. I didn’t expect it. Fluid mechanics is very complicated. Several mathematical models are needed here... Huh? How did I solve it? Wait, I will check it 100 times.
)
Just as they were struggling, the lock of the truck on the trailer was suddenly opened. The E3 military truck, with a thunderous posture, slammed into the guardrail behind the trailer with a "bang!"! The steel guardrail was directly hit.
Into a concave shape.
"Ahhhhh" several groups of people screamed in unison, thinking that the truck was going to explode.
The only good news is that they can't rush through, and neither can the "mimic" aliens. The waves stopped several teams and also blocked the aliens from behind who tried to rush up to hunt them. After all, they were just swimming against the current, not
Fly against the current.
"There are still 15 seconds! This car is going to explode!" the engineer shouted sadly.
"Hold on, we still have a chance!" a squad leader shouted on the channel.
"Yes, we still have a chance, I'm calculating! This is a tunnel model. As the depth of the seawater increases, the speed of the vehicle further decreases..." A graduate of Frankfurt University.
"speak English!"
"The wave will move! As long as we hold on, it won't keep hitting us, it will move away!"
"There are still 10 seconds until the explosion!"
"It's moving, but it's moving forward!"
…
"Fuck You's mother!" A group of people were scolding, why don't you just ignore it...
The remaining dozen or so people crowded on the left and right sides, feeling extremely bitter in their hearts. They huddled up to resist the wall-like waves while waiting for their lives to come to an end.
They knew they couldn't blame the commander who gave the order.
Not to mention that if you stay where you are, you will be torn into pieces by the "mimic" aliens.
Just talking about ordering the E3 truck to self-destruct, is there any problem even if they are not notified in advance to evacuate? Without notifying them, directly sacrificing them, there is no problem at all from the commander's point of view!
Patton also sent people on suicide missions.
"Hold the rope!"
Just when they fell into despair, the commander's voice suddenly sounded on the channels of several groups, like listening to the sounds of nature!
What rope? We haven’t been given up yet?!
They looked up and saw four military backpacks rushing toward them from the front along the waves. After arriving at their location, they were suddenly pulled by something from behind.
The backpack was pulled up and floated up, revealing the tight rope on the back of the backpack!
Great! At that moment, it was like rising from hell to heaven!
"Tie the rope tight! Lower your head!"
After hearing the order, some subconsciously fastened their belt hooks to the rope, and some firmly grasped the straps of the water backpack. Before they could understand the meaning of this sentence, the rope tightened suddenly and dragged them forward against the current.
.
At the same time, there was only a "swish" sound, and a bright tail flame flew over their heads, leaving a trace of light in the dark tunnel.
The super-caliber 112mm rocket flew into the bottom of the cocked E3 truck. With a "boom" explosion, the E3 truck flew into the sky!
Below is the impact of the explosion, and behind is the resistance of the rear end of the car stuck on the guardrail. The huge waves on both sides hit the side of the carriage. Plus the centrifugal force of the train moving forward. The heavy truck is like being grabbed by a giant and thrown away.
Get out the toys!
He rolled away from the train and plunged into the huge waves behind him.
"It's going to explode!"
after zero seconds
"boom!!!!!"
An earth-shaking loud noise!
The truck loaded with missiles and ammunition completely detonated in the surge!
The explosion shattered the huge wave into pieces, killing hundreds of "mimicry" soldiers hiding in the wave in an instant!
The transparent air waves pushed the water wall, caught up with the running train, and slapped the dozen or so people on the back! They flew up...fortunately or unfortunately, it was up to fate. Most of the people who flew up were being pulled
Successfully grasp the guardrail or the edge of the truck under the pull of the rope.
But the unlucky one was detached in the air and hit the tunnel, shattering his body to pieces!
Or he was swept into the crack under the trailer with a "swish", and a blood stain appeared from the water in the blink of an eye, leaving nothing behind.
Eighteen or nineteen survivors, five or six more people were reduced in the blink of an eye, but all this is not over yet...
The entire undersea tunnel was twisted and shaken by the explosion, and rails and concrete sleepers were flying everywhere in the air. Everyone held their heads tightly and prayed to God, the Buddha Muhammad... At this moment, no amount of calculations were useless.
.
Following the explosion, air waves, and vibrations, came the beautiful but terrifying embers.
The orange-red flames flowed and surged in the tunnel like liquid, burning all the air along the way and chasing the train. The orange-red flames seemed to be slow but urgent, and they kept clinging to the back of the train, almost burning the tail of the military column.
!After several seconds, it was gradually thrown away by the speeding military column, and finally turned into a deep red background color.
At that moment, the water was pushed away, and together with the original passengers of the E2 car, there were thirty people crowded together in an awkward manner, and everyone held their breath.
The flames of hell almost licked the eyebrows, but finally let go... At this moment, everyone had faith.
Seeing that the explosion finally died down, before they could take a breath of relief, there was another loud "boom" behind them!
Again?
And this roar was obviously different from the previous ones. This time the sound was dull and profound, like a cry coming from the earth's crust.
The ground shook and the cement cracked.
In the eyes of everyone, the reinforced concrete tunnel is as soft as dough, stretched and squeezed, and then flattened with a bang.
The undersea tunnel, which was drilled with holes everywhere, finally... collapsed!
*****
There are hundreds of millions of tons of seawater above the head. The structural damage caused by the explosion will cause a chain reaction in an instant once it collapses.
Instead of collapsing on both sides with the explosion point as the center, it is sinking downwards as a whole like a seafloor sinkhole!
Even the surface of the sea was pulled out into a large whirlpool. The scene was really scary. Both the satellite and the President of the United States who had just finished tweeting in the morning were shocked... Huh? Britain is going to sink? I have to send a tweet quickly!
Wang Hu himself was also frightened by the huge scene.
The destructive effect of the explosion far exceeded calculations. What does this mean? It means that there are structural hidden dangers in the Channel Tunnel itself. It is very likely that there is a huge "cavity" underneath, which is why it collapsed so badly... This "mimicry" was crushed to death
"I'm afraid it won't be tens of thousands.
Although "mimicry" can survive underground and underwater, it does not mean that they can withstand the repeated ravages of gravity. In a sudden collapse, stones will be nothing more than dust.
And this is what Wang Hu is afraid of...
As we all know, "Edge of Tomorrow" is about Tom Cruise being thrown into the Normandy landing battlefield, where a rookie wandered in and accidentally killed a blue Alpha-level "mimic".
Being stained with Alpha's blood, he gained the ability to reset time.
Specifically speaking, it is not that he has the ability to reset time, but that he has become the "coordinate" of this ability.
As long as he dies, time will be reset to one day ago by the higher-level "mimicry" Omega Meow... Remember, it is not Alpha Dog that is truly awesome, but Omega Meow.
Moreover, Omega Meow has many dogs, and it doesn’t care which one dies. Anyway, it resets when it feels that a dog dies.
It doesn't matter even if it's just a human being stained with dog blood... Idleness is idleness, who can guess what Meow is thinking?
Wang Hu is afraid of chasing the "mimic" alien, but he accidentally hides an alpha dog!
If this dog dies and time is reset, then everyone's work will be in vain.
Especially since people carry memories with them every time they reset. As everyone knows in "Groundhog Day", time reset is a cheat. If it fails once, it will not be played like this next time, and there will be a traffic jam from the beginning.
Even if Wang Hu is extremely powerful, he can't turn the tide.
Fortunately, after waiting for a few seconds, I saw no sign of the time being reset, so I felt relieved.
It seems that those who died were all ordinary "mimics", and there was no alpha dog in them. Humans can die, but dogs cannot.
