Chapter Seventy-Six: The Fierce Battle
"Listen, you bastards, sit your ass tight for me. We're doing a high-altitude landing. ”
Shen Hao didn't need to look to know that the sergeant was roaring at them again. The guy was a substitute and was in charge of their operations on a temporary basis. When they landed, there was a good chance that they would never see him again.
However, Shen Hao felt that there was really no need to provoke that guy before he was assigned to the platoon to carry out the task. The roar of the transport ship's engines, and the deafening rumble of the hull as it fell, made Shen Hao barely hear what the substitute was saying. It's just that the guy's appearance is really inflated, and people can't help but want to yell at him or glare at him.
Anyway, it didn't matter to Shen Hao, the sergeant was just in charge of them returning to the ground. He knew that once he entered the outpost, there would be another person, in the longer term, otherwise he would be trained by his group of recruits.
That's right, Shen Hao joined the army, in this era, in the background of this world, only among the regular troops, can he systematically learn and use these high-tech weapons and equipment that can help in future battles.
With his physical fitness, he easily passed the recruitment assessment of the Zhongzhou Military Recruitment Institute, and became a recruit of an armored infantry division within two days.
In the last two days, there has been no news on the news about the colony planet XK-3, but the recruitment efforts of various recruitment centers have increased significantly. This atmosphere of mountain rain and wind filled the building made Shen Hao even more convinced that there must have been some rather tricky accidents on the XK-3 colonized planet far away in the sky.
Shen Hao twisted his shoulders, trying to get his back out of the bulkhead cushion. The interior of the transport ship is usually like a furnace, which is even hotter as it descends through the atmosphere. For this ship to make everyone comfortable, at least two more cooling devices need to be added. Sweat was pouring down my back, and my shoulder blades were sticking to the airtight cushions. Beads of sweat kept pouring out of his face, occasionally falling onto his training uniform. Every point in his uniform made him uncomfortable, and the safety bar around him made it difficult for him to stretch his muscles.
To make matters worse, the transport ships were full, people were shoulder to shoulder, and the partitions were attached to the partitions. In contrast, the feeling of red-hot heat is still tolerable, and even more unbearable is the smell emitted by so many people, and air fresheners no longer work.
Shen Hao's eyes had nowhere to look, he could only look at the recruits of the other armored infantry divisions in the opposite partition, looking at their identical dull, expressionless faces. The ears could only listen to the occasional roar of the sergeant and the monotonous rumble of the hull behind him. A little bored, a little drowsy, he couldn't help but start worrying about the two girls who didn't know where.
"Su Yue, Xiao Mo, are you all right......
......
The infantry armor and uniforms were in tatters, and Su Yue's fair skin was faintly displayed, but countless scars were also revealed. Five days of sleepless fighting, hellish fighting, made her physically and mentally tired. The wound on her leg was still slowly oozing dark red blood, but she didn't feel the pain anymore.
The battle continued, but not as fierce as before, and it was clear that both sides had lost their troops, but the gunfire never stopped, and from time to time there were creepy screams and moans. The smoke at the entrance of the town receded, but the Grim Reaper seemed to be nearer, so close that everyone could hear it breathing, gasping, chanting the chant, waiting for the wretched people to throw themselves into their arms.
Suddenly, a large group of jumping insects ran in front of him, it is not difficult to see from their speed of action that this is a group of extremely powerful characters, the pores of Su Yue's whole body gradually began to contract, his hand held the handle of the gun tightly, and a new magazine full of bullets was also inserted into the gun.
The name "jumping worms" was given to them by the surviving warriors, but their appearance had little to do with bugs.
These monsters are swarthy, and at first glance they look like aliens from science fiction movies, with hideous and terrifying appearances, a disgusting sticky substance flowing from their mouths, and a long tail behind them, like a chainsaw, swaying from side to side. Arthropod-like limbs are strong and powerful, and they often run with long jumps, which may be hence their name.
Su Yue struggled to adjust her breathing, and set up the Gauss sniper rifle in a depression along the wall, the thermal scope already locked onto the target from a distance.
However, instead of rushing to the bell tower where she was hiding, the hoppers rushed straight to a shop where Team Seventh was stationing. Su Yue's finger touched the trigger, and when the jumping worm just passed in front of the bell tower, a dense gunfire suddenly rang out, and more than a dozen tongues of fire erupted violently from the windows of the bell tower and the shop at the same time, and one of the leading jumping insects was beaten into a sieve on the spot, and fell into a pool of blood.
However, the rest of the jumping insects suddenly exploded, some of them rushed in the direction of the nearest shops, and more of them rushed in the direction of the bell tower.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! Su Yue pressed her cheek against the body of the gun, her body vibrated rhythmically under the strong recoil of the Gauss sniper rifle, and the alloy slugs blasted into the swarm of jumping insects under the impetus of electromagnetic energy, almost every shot could take the life of a jumping worm.
However, there were quite a few jumping insects, and the speed of the charge was extremely fast, Su Yue only had time to shoot five bullets, and the rest of the jumping insects had already entered the dead end of the shooting.
Su Yue clearly heard the gunfire downstairs instantly violent, as well as the roar of the Baka Type III Heavy Flamethrower, but the duration of these sounds was very short, barely two minutes. This was followed by the sound of jumping insects biting through the armor of the infantry; This was followed by the screams of the comrades stationed downstairs; This was followed by the sound of jumping insects devouring flesh; This was followed by the sound of jumping insects rushing up the attic......
Su Yue gritted his teeth, put the sniper rifle behind his back, lifted the Green Pulse machine gun beside him, turned around and fired at the staircase of the attic, and the staircase of the attic was immediately splashed all over the corridor, Su Yue had long been accustomed to this kind of smell and scene, and he didn't feel any discomfort when he saw so much blood.
The rate of fire and power of the pulse machine gun are not weak, but any weapon with a fast rate of fire will have a fatal wound, that is, ammunition. After just a dozen seconds of strafing, the bullets in the magazine ran out again, Su Yue skillfully pulled out the empty magazine and threw it aside, and was just about to walk to the windowsill to get a new magazine, when suddenly a red shadow rushed up from downstairs and threw him to the ground.
It was a smart, sophisticated jumping worm that opened its mouth and a stream of blood-filled air swept across its face, its gray teeth stained with the flesh and blood of the soldiers downstairs. Su Yue was pressed to the ground by this jumping worm bigger than a mastiff, and she was almost out of breath. She had never been so close to a jumping worm, and could even feel its body temperature and heartbeat.
Click-
The body of the gun used to block the big mouth of the jumping insect broke, and the big mouth full of sharp fangs bit down fiercely, and the armor on Su Yue's shoulder was dented by the bite, and blood had flowed out of the cracks of the fragments.
After smelling human blood, the jumping worm became even more excited, biting the big mouth on Su Yue's shoulder and biting it to the side, Su Yue gritted her teeth, pressed the head of the jumping worm with all her strength, tried her best not to let the wound on her body expand, and hit the belly of the jumping worm with her knees, hoping to kick it away.
However, the jumping insects that are good at melee combat are by no means comparable in strength to mere humans, even if they have been reinforced with infantry armor. And Su Yue is not a power warrior, after several attempts, he still couldn't shake off the jumping insects on his body, but was cut a few more wounds on his body by the sharp claws of the jumping insects.
The blood flowed like this, Su Yue began to feel a little dizzy in her head, and even her limbs began to become numb, and a shadow of death surged into her heart.
"Am I going to die...... I'm going to die in a place like this...... But...... I haven't ...... with that guy yet."
"Bang-" A stream of fishy plasma splashed Su Yue's face, the mask of the armored head was stained red, Su Yue felt that she was biting her shoulder and the jumping insect let go, and then someone dragged the body of the jumping insect away from her body with great difficulty.
"Sister Su Yue! Sister Su Yue! Are you okay! Don't scare me...... Woo woo woo ......" In his ears was Mo Chenyan's crying voice, Su Yue gasped loudly and opened her eyes.
Mo Chenyan was wearing a black melee infantry combat armor, the carbide fighting thorns on her arms were stained with viscous plasma, and most of her armor was damaged, revealing her scarred delicate body inside.
"I'm fine...... Fortunately, you came in time......" Su Yue sat up with Mo Chenyan's arm, took out the last strong blood coagulant from the medical bag on her belt, and injected a needle into the wound.
The group of jumping insects that attacked had been completely wiped out, but their combat team had also suffered heavy losses, and less than ten people survived. If it weren't for the fact that both of their bodies had been strengthened by the Nightmare Energy many times, they might have become some of those stumps and flesh on the ground at this moment.
With more than two-thirds of the team reduced and all of the surviving team members wounded, the leader of the squad decided to move closer to the larger force to the west, and although doing so would shrink the human defenses again, it was unknown how many times in the previous seventy-two hours.
