302 Chapter 302: Exhaustion
Ji Xiaoning's eyes showed a deep look of exhaustion.
The sunset is obliquely shining, and the sky is crying blood.
dragging the young man's particularly lonely and tired figure, he couldn't say how lonely he was.
Even if it's an ancient demon body.
Immortal Body.
Able to restore his body and physical strength.
But he could not recover from his mental weariness.
In the days of high-intensity battles, fighting countless alien beasts every day, he was the only living person on the battlefield, and the world he saw in his eyes was full of alien figures, and he resisted the threats of life and death again and again.
But I can't resist loneliness and loneliness.
This made his mind more and more tired.
The nerves gradually numb.
Standing stunned at the entrance to the military fortress, he looked back behind him.
His eyes were numb and tired, and he swept over the mountain of corpses of strange beasts that he had slaughtered, and looked at the sky.
Far away, far away, there is nothing but the distance......
He glanced back at the rotating surveillance equipment.
Some numb eyes.
Only then did a hint of human anger emerge.
The twilight was dim, and the remnant sun was like blood.
The lonely shadow of the blood-stained young man with the color of endless tiredness merged with the last trace of mottled and shattered blood on the ground.
The tall body is still not bent.
He walked silently to the military base, without a moment of rest, ignoring the fatigue caused by the tense nerves for several days, and began to overhaul the formations in the military fortress.
The formation that will be destroyed by the king beast will be repaired as soon as possible.
"Who is he?"
The generals of the various military fortresses saw that they were covered in blood, and their bodies were covered with dark red blood scabs after they had been dried and hard, and their black hair was glued to the forehead by the blood scabs, and they gradually approached, and they looked extremely lonely under the blood-colored sun.
"Wait a minute, what a teenager!"
Recruiting Ran, there was a general, with an incredible look, shouted out of his voice.
"He... He... He's ......"
Rumble!
Soul-stirring.
"Why is he at Base Eleven!"
Everyone's pupils shrank suddenly.
Ding Houshao, 23 years old this year, is exactly one year after he joined the army.
The life and death grind on the battlefield has long given him a tenacious will like steel.
It's just that the youthful childishness on his face that has just graduated from college for a year is still there, and the cyan of the years has not completely faded.
Because of an incident in which a foreign beast attacked a human, Ding Houshao lost all his relatives at a very young age.
When military rescue arrived, they killed all the beasts and found him under the rubble.
He will never forget that scene for the rest of his life.
When the military rescued him.
When he saw the scene in front of him, when he saw his parents, he couldn't help but cry.
Under the rubble, it was his parents, who held him tightly between the two of them at the last moment when they were buried in the rubble, and they made the last choice of life for him.
From that day on, he began to understand hatred.
Hatred made him become, thirsting for power all the time.
After being sent to an orphanage, hatred caused him to escape from the orphanage again and again, fall in the mud, fall in the rain, and get up in the bruises.
He ran to the local garrison again and again, stubbornly bit his lower lip, clenched his hands into fists, and shouted hysterically: "I want to join the army!"
"I'm going to kill all the beasts!"
Again and again he was sent to an orphanage.
I escaped from the orphanage again and again.
Every day he ran to the gate of the garrison camp, hysterically roaring the hatred in his heart, he wanted to kill the strange beast.
Until one day.
An old man in a straight, clean military uniform saw him as he was about to enter the camp with the army convoy.
When there were soldiers ready to pull him away.
The old man stopped the soldiers.
Then the old man ignored the dirty water on the ground under the rain curtain, squatted down, looked at him who had become a soup chicken, sorted out his messy clothes wet by the rain for him, and said kindly: "Little guy, what is your name?"
"My name is Ding Houshao!"
"Can you let me join the army?"
Ding Houshao looked at the old man.
"Do you know what a soldier is?" said the old man kindly.
"As long as you can kill strange beasts, you are soldiers!" he said stubbornly, for him who was only young at the time, soldiers are to kill foreign beasts, and the only people who can kill foreign beasts are soldiers.
The old man shook his head slightly.
"The duty of a soldier is to obey orders absolutely. ”
Then, the old man said with a solemn expression: "Ding Houshao, I will give you the first order now, do you have the courage to accept the first order?"
"As long as I can kill strange beasts, I am willing!" Ding Houshao learned the military posture occasionally seen on the TV news, stood up straight, and performed a military salute with crooked movements.
For young children, the unspeakably funny.
But the old man did not laugh.
He also stood tall, and under the rain curtain, he gave the most standard military salute to the little boy in front of him with a determined face.
"Ding Houshao, I now give you the first order, the duty of a soldier, gamble everything even if it is your life, you must complete the task, now, I order you, go back and take a hot bath, then study hard, be admitted to the university, only the best people are qualified to become soldiers. ”
"For excellent soldiers, the honor of soldiers is the second life of soldiers, for the honor of soldiers, even in the face of ice and snow, epidemics, you must stand upright, because you are an upright soldier, a soldier who sets off with honor, and moves forward bravely in setbacks and temptations. ”
"Are you ready to accept the honor of a soldier, even if you walk on the most rugged road, the most difficult quagmire, even in the face of failure after failure, and not be overwhelmed by difficulties until you complete the mission?"
Under the rain curtain.
One old, one young.
One tall, one short.
The two figures stood tall under the rain curtain, and the little boy shivered in the rain, but he was still trying to stand up straight, trying to look up at the old man who was as tall as a mountain at the moment, and trying to meet each other's eyes.
"I do!"
That I am willing, Ding Houshao has persisted for more than 20 years... He later learned that a college degree was not required to join the army.
As long as you meet the age requirements, you can.
But he did not forget the honor of the soldiers!
Didn't give up his first military mission!
It's just that... When he graduated from college and finally joined the army, when he inquired about the old man's unit, he learned that the old man he regarded as the most respected in his life had passed away and died in an important battle against alien beasts that would determine the future of mankind.
But he didn't deter from the fact that the battlefield would kill people.
On that day 20 years ago, the honor of a soldier has long been deeply rooted in his bone marrow, the deepest part of his soul, for which he has worked hard for 20 years, how can he give up easily, he resolutely joined the army.
And took the initiative to submit an application and came to the old man's unit.
On the front line of the fight against alien beasts, the most dangerous battlefield in the South China Sea, he became a member of one of the thirty-six military fortresses.
Dragging his tired body, Ding Houshao ignored the sticky blood on the ground, and sat down directly and gasped for breath.
The face looked very tired.
The fifth round of the beast tide once again receded like a tide.
Ding Houshao gritted his teeth, the wound hurt so much that even his nerves were burning hot, heh, heh, he was panting like a cow, with the scale of the beast tide outbreak, it was stronger than once, and the pressure on him to resist the beast tide every time was getting bigger and bigger, and the wounds all over his body, large and small, had already been too many to count.
Covered in blood.
There were even several crises when he was almost torn to pieces by alien beasts.
Ding Houshao gritted his teeth firmly, he never thought of retreating.
He has not forgotten the purpose of joining the army!
He must not fall before the beast!
In that dangerous environment at that time, there were no other distracting thoughts in his heart, only a soldier's belief, and he must not be broken through by foreign beasts!
Fight your way inside a military fortress and inflict more casualties!
Fight to the death!
Thinking of the alien beast, Ding Houshao's mood fluctuated violently, and he couldn't help but involve the wound on his back, behind him, there were two huge lacerations, almost being cut off by the sharp claws of the alien beast.
Such a big wound made him bleed nonstop.
Originally, he could use his True Qi to seal the flesh and blood vessels near the wound.
But several days of high-intensity fighting.
Every bit of the body's functions had already been squeezed out, and the muscles of the whole body were sore everywhere, without a trace of strength, and even the last bit of true qi had long been exhausted.
He could only sit silently, reduce his physical exertion, and wait for the medic to come forward to bandage and treat him.
But!
Around, there were more corpses of soldiers, lying cold in a pool of blood forever.
At this moment, the blood on the ground, stepping on it, was already hard and sticky and dark red, a foot thick, and it was long impossible to distinguish whether it was the blood of a foreign beast, or the blood of a soldier, or the blood of a soldier and a foreign beast.
Not long ago, they were comrades-in-arms who talked and laughed with him and trusted each other.
But at this moment, he was lying down in the cold forever.
In this battle, Ding Houshao's already silent character became even more taciturn.
In this young man in his twenties.
Went through too much grief and separation.
At this moment, Ding Houshao was not the only one sitting paralyzed on the spot, so tired that he collapsed and was weak.
The faces of the other soldiers who survived were also exhausted, collapsed and fell.
There were even people, in the next second after repelling the beast tide, the will to fight that had been supported in their hearts was slightly relaxed, and they pounced, and the person fell directly and fell unconscious in a pool of blood.
Ding Houshao gasped for breath and looked at a comrade-in-arms beside him in silence.
Everyone is so tired.
If the high-intensity combat of the past few days continues, the war will fall into a crisis and predicament, and not only will people be unable to bear it, but even weapons and ammunition will be consumed enormously.
Moreover, the casualties of the living forces in the military fortress are too great.
If this continues, they will not be able to wait for new reinforcements, and they will most likely lose their ground......
An oppressive, heavy atmosphere.
Even the air was frozen, like a dark cloud, weighing heavily on the hearts of every soldier.
Morale is gradually declining.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ding Houshao was anxious, but he couldn't do anything, subconsciously, he turned his head to look behind.
As soon as the fifth round of beast tide was repulsed, the commander immediately went to contact the South China Sea Theater Command and asked for reinforcements, but I don't know what the result was?
When will reinforcements arrive.
Ding Houshao turned his head and just saw a blood-stained commander, who had finished contacting the South China Sea Theater Command with a complicated expression.
Immediately, despite being exhausted, people gathered around and asked one after another.
"Sir, what did the command say, did you say when our reinforcements would arrive?"
"Sir, our sixth company, one company has three platoons, and we are so disabled that we can't even make up the number of people in a platoon, and without reinforcements, we may not be able to withstand the next round of beast tide. ”
"The soldiers were so tired, everyone reached the last limit, everyone was so tired that they couldn't even stand up, and the weapons and ammunition were consumed too much, and they couldn't wait to support our troops, and everyone's morale began to drop. ”
Ding Houshao saw that even the company commander in charge of their sixth company appeared beside the commander at this moment, regardless of the wound on one of his broken arms and dragging a tired expression.
They were in six companies, and only he and the company commander were left, less than the number of people in a platoon.
How tragic the war was.
At this moment, all the soldiers who had not fainted from exhaustion were all looking in the direction of the commander.
But at this moment, Ding Houshao seemed to vaguely hear... Base Eleven... A few words, but they were too far apart, and his body was exhausted, and he couldn't be sure if he had heard it wrong.
Base Eleven?
Why did I suddenly mention Base 11? Could it really be that I was too tired and had auditory hallucinations?
Ding Houshao hesitated.
Not long after, Ding Houshao saw that the company commander was silent, and turned around and returned to the side of the sixth company.
"Company commander, did you say when reinforcements will arrive?"
There are soldiers, who immediately can't wait to ask, and their eyes are full of hope.
However, the company commander remained silent.
At this moment, he was as silent as a mountain, and his heavy back pressed on the hearts of the only remaining people in the Sixth Company, and the company commander's backlog of coercion on weekdays, when they faced the silence of the company commander, they couldn't help but show fear and didn't dare to continue to ask.
They knew very well that the company commander was on the verge of breaking out.
"Gather everyone in the sixth company!"
The company commander shouted coldly.
Not a word of complaint.
There was no hesitation.
Hearing this order, all the soldiers who were tired and paralyzed in a pool of dark red blood subconsciously got up and stood tall away from the standard military posture.
This situation is staged in other places.
Subsequently, all servicemen went to the training ground.
The training ground is not only a place for soldiers to practice collectively on weekdays, but also a place for mobilization orders before the war.
When the soldiers came to the training ground in an orderly manner, they found that all the senior generals of the No. 1 base had arrived in advance.
And behind the generals, when it is usually used as a pre-war mobilization order or a major assembly, the huge screen will be activated, and the power has been turned on at this moment.
The screen is playing.
Ding Houshao was puzzled, why did he gather everyone at this critical juncture, and then thought that the company commander's expression was wrong after he came back, and he was silent all the way, on the verge of breaking out......
Don't... The situation at the front has reached an extremely unfavorable point......
Gather everyone to announce something......
Ding Houshao's heart sank, however!
When he sees a scene on the screen......
Ran, scalp numb.
It was like the scalp was pricked by a sharp needle, boom, and a huge buzz exploded in Ding Houshao's mind.
The corners of the eyes widen.
Mountain of Corpses!
The huge mountain of corpses under the black pressure was full of corpses of alien beasts, piled up like a mountain, forming a sense of tall oppression under the black pressure, which was as huge as a mountain, and appeared in front of a base.
A mountain of corpses!
Two corpse mountains!
There are three mountains of corpses!
This... What's going on here?
This is the number one base, why is there such a huge corpse mountain, as if the place where the corpse mountain is located, it is a ravine that foreign beasts cannot cross, this terrifying scene is by no means the damage caused by military weapons.
Because the corpses of these alien beasts are all intact, there is not a single blood, no mutilation, no wounds from the killing of weapons.
The mountain of corpses in front of you... More like... It's more like being killed by sniping on the spot, constantly accumulating and accumulating, and it can only be formed.
Such a shocking and lethal effect is by no means possible with military weapons.
