I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 702 - 600: Slaying the Fire-Breathing Monster

The missile pierced through the night sky and, guided by the helicopter's laser, accurately hit the alien creature that was as massive as a mountain.

However, to everyone's surprise, when the fiery explosion of the missile faded, what appeared before them was the creature still dripping with flames.

Although the missile penetrated the outer shell of the alien creature, it did not kill it. It merely inflicted severe damage and ignited some of the body fluids inside it, which flowed out through the creature's shattered shell like a colossal torch.

The burning of its inner body fluids caused the creature immense pain, making it emit intense howls and spray liquid from its oral apparatus around its head.

These liquids burst into flames as soon as they were expelled, making it seem as though the creature was spouting fire.

"Damn, this is a damn siege weapon!" Wang Jiang and Old Li saw the flames sprayed from the creature's mouth reach several dozen meters, naturally imagining the terrible consequences if this creature got close to the defense line.

Even the missiles launched by the Mobile Base couldn't kill it, they only penetrated its shell. Watching the creature still lively, Wang Jiang even felt that the missile hadn't inflicted serious enough injury.

With such powerful defenses, if it approached the defense line, even a Titan would struggle to kill it.

And if such a massive fire-breathing beast approached the defense line, it could potentially destroy the entire line by itself!

Luckily, they discovered it here! Wang Jiang and Old Li exchanged a glance, both seeing relief in each other's eyes.

But now was not the time to rejoice, the creature was far from dead!

Wang Jiang continued to call the Mobile Base at the rear, instructing them to make another attack while maneuvering the helicopter towards the alien creature.

"Old Li, get ready to attack, fire at will!" Wang Jiang shouted to Old Li beside him.

"Got it!" As an old partner, Old Li knew exactly what Wang Jiang intended: "Our equipped missiles and rockets have limited power, attack where the first missile hit!"

"Understood, keep an eye out, this creature breathes fire, there must be some part of its body storing fuel, set it directly on fire!" Wang Jiang observed the creature still spouting flames and speculated.

Old Li's face at this moment showed a confident yet serious expression: "Watch closely, we're the army region's contest, ground target champions!"

Saying so, Old Li operated the weapons mounted on the helicopter and, in cooperation with Wang Jiang, launched a full-scale attack on the blasted open region on the creature's back.

In an instant, missiles, rockets, and machine guns riddled the back of the creature, which was venting its anger and pain, with flesh and blood, inflicting even greater pain.

At the same time, either through Old Li's claimed marksmanship or sheer luck, during his shooting, the creature's back suddenly experienced a violent explosion which even blew off its side's armor!

"Holy shit, Old Li, did you really hit it?" Wang Jiang quickly gripped the control stick to stabilize the helicopter, avoiding being overturned by the explosive shock wave.

"I don't know either, but it seems like I hit it!" Old Li, watching the beast below, was also somewhat incredulous.

However, the beast was evidently not completely annihilated; the previous explosion, albeit severely damaging, was not enough to kill it.

Fortunately, at this moment, the second missile launched by the Mobile Base had arrived, and Wang Jiang quickly had Old Li perform the laser guidance while he maneuvered the helicopter to swiftly pull away, avoiding being engulfed in the missile's explosion. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

As the downward-plunging missile pierced into the creature's back like a sharp sword, another violent explosion occurred, finally blasting the creature into two halves.

Seeing the creature blown into two halves, Wang Jiang and Old Li reported this result to the Mobile Base and then, following the instructions from the Mobile Base, returned.

This creature was humanity's first encounter, and as the first witnesses, Wang Jiang and Old Li, along with the data from their helicopter, were incredibly valuable in helping humanity understand this newly emerged creature immediately.

"Tell me, you two, what are your specific impressions of this creature." In a room within the Mobile Base, Chen Xin, who had just hurried over, flung the creature photos taken by Old Li onto the table, asking him and Wang Jiang.

At this time, Chen Xin had no time for pleasantries or excess words, going straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Wang Jiang and Old Li exchanged a glance again, aware of the importance of the matter, prompting Old Li to speak first: "The creature was huge. When we arrived at the target area, it had just emerged from the ground. It was so massive, and since we had never seen anything like it, we called the Mobile Base to have them launch a missile to eliminate it."

Old Li paused, unconsciously swallowing as he recalled, though during the battle in the helicopter, he hadn't felt it, now safe behind the lines, both he and Wang Jiang were somewhat awed by their own boldness.

In those circumstances, they were highly likely facing destruction, potentially dying, not needing much, just a single spit of fire from that beast would have spelled their end.

According to the helicopter's onboard instruments' results, the flames the beast sprayed were over a thousand degrees, capable of instantly destroying the helicopter they piloted.

"At the time, our thought was to eliminate this creature if possible, so when the first missile didn't finish it off, we didn't overthink and flew directly to attack the creature's wound." Wang Jiang continued narrating after Old Li, although his tone was calm, the emotion from that time still resonated: "Missiles, rockets, machine guns, every weapon we could, we used."

"I don't know if it was luck, but we hit some organ inside the creature, leading it to explode again, blowing off the shell on one side, which was when the second missile arrived. I had Old Li guide the second missile straight into the creature's back, blasting it into two pieces."

Listening to Wang Jiang's words, Chen Xin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, asking him: "Did you hit some organ that caused the creature to explode?"

"Yes, that creature can breathe fire, and the first missile attack set it on fire, the stuff flowing from it was like flames, not blood." Wang Jiang recalled and affirmed to Chen Xin.

This situation caused Chen Xin's eyes to narrow, speculating: "Then you probably hit its organ that stores fuel."
