Chapter 80: The Beast Tide
"Big head, I've been dreaming about it for several days in a row, and I've dreamed of a beast tide breaking out at this node in another time and space, so I rushed over with four infantry battalions and an artillery battalion to take a look."
Zhou Rui looked at a giant screen flickering with a colorful halo in the distance, and said in a deep voice to Song Shenghe, the commander of the first step of the garrison brigade.
This giant screen with a flickering halo of colorful light is the time-space node of Panlong Mountain, with a length of two hundred meters and a height of nearly one hundred meters.
Around this giant screen, a circular reinforced concrete city wall was built, which surrounded the giant screen in the center, and Zhou Rui stood on the city wall at this time.
The area enclosed by the entire ring wall is 600 meters in diameter, and the height of the wall is nearly 25 meters.
The reason why the city wall was built into a ring and expanded such a large area is the experience summed up with countless human lives.
The walls without edges and corners can better prevent land-type beasts from climbing the walls.
Move the giant screen farther away from the walls to give your guns the most advantage in firepower.
There are two types of space-time nodes that appear in this world, one is a giant screen with a colorful halo, and the other is a giant screen with a white halo.
The former is similar to a one-way channel, where the beast will enter this world through the giant screen of the colorful halo, but it can no longer return to the original world through the giant screen of the colorful halo.
The latter is similar to a two-way channel, all controlled by the orcs, and the orcs of the six orc countries can travel back and forth between the two worlds through the giant screen of the white halo.
But until now, human beings have not known what kind of world is on the other side of the white halo giant screen.
The six orc nations may also have allowed ordinary orcs to return to the world on the other side of the giant screen through the giant screen with a white halo many years ago in order to keep the secrets of another world.
Of course, what Zhou Rui said to Song Shenghe that dreaming was just an excuse, Zhou Rui knew that the beast tide was about to break out, so he rushed over with four infantry battalions and an artillery battalion to participate in the battle.
When Song Shenghe heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "Young General, maybe this node in different time and space may really break out in the near future.
Originally, there would be a few or a dozen, dozens of fierce beasts from different time and space nodes every day, but in the past few days, it has been very abnormal, and not even a single fierce beast has appeared.
Based on past experience, it is likely to be a harbinger of an outbreak of the beast tide.
Originally, I wanted to send a telegram to the major general to talk about this matter, but I didn't expect the major general to come directly with his troops. ”
When Zhou Rui heard this, it turned out that there was such an omen for the outbreak of the beast tide, so there was no need to make any excuses for himself!
"Big head, order the 1st Corps of the Garrison Brigade to immediately enter combat readiness.
In addition, a telegram was sent to the 4th Infantry Regiment of the Garrison Brigade stationed in the Heigou Coal Mine, asking Scar to lead six infantry battalions and an artillery battalion to come over as soon as possible. ”
Song Shenghe hesitated a little, "Major General, with the firepower of the first corps of our garrison brigade, it is enough to deal with the outbreak of the beast tide, is it necessary to ask Scar to bring the main force of the fourth infantry regiment of the garrison brigade over?" ”
"Be prepared, I don't want anything to go wrong in the hands of our Zhou family at this time-space node."
Early in the morning of September 28, Zhou Rui, who was sleepy-eyed, suddenly jumped up from the bed.
It turns out that the lottery system has suddenly refreshed a new task: to quell the tide of beasts. (Reward a three-star raffle card, 30 points)
At this time, the lottery system brushed out the task of "calming the beast tide", so it is likely that the beast tide will break out today.
"Xiong Da, go and call Song Shenghe and Huang Zhigang over!"
Song Shenghe and Huang Zhigang quickly hurried over, "Young General, what's wrong?" ”
"I have a gut feeling that the beast tide is likely to break out today, so that all the troops are ready to face the beast tide."
Zhou Rui's guess was indeed correct, at ten o'clock that morning, the giant screen with colorful halos seemed to open the floodgates, and countless fierce beasts came out of the giant screen.
"Boom-boom-"
"Dada-"
The officers and soldiers on the city wall, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately used ZB-26 light machine guns and MG-34 general-purpose machine guns to continuously strafe the fierce beasts that poured out.
Officers and soldiers with good marksmanship also used Mauser 98K rifles to snipe some fierce beasts.
The 90 French 1897 Type 75 field guns combined by the three artillery battalions also continued to shoot shells into the ring city wall according to the previously set shooting elements.
"Whew-" With a loud roar, an adult bipedal wyvern with a body length of 15 meters flew out from the top of the giant screen.
The adult bipedal wyvern is a lord-level fierce beast, and it is the first lord-level fierce beast to appear in this beast tide.
In order to deal with the flying beasts, some MG-34 general-purpose machine guns were equipped with extra-long tripods, which could be used as anti-aircraft machine guns.
Seeing this bipedal wyvern flying out from the top of the giant screen, more than 20 MG-34 general-purpose machine guns immediately began to strafe this bipedal wyvern.
Although the defense of the lord-level beast is strong, it can't withstand the strafing of so many machine guns.
The bipedal wyvern hadn't even flown over the city walls before it was smashed into a blood gourd by a dense stream of machine guns and fell to the ground.
Then, from the giant screen, three lord-level land-type beasts came out one after another.
However, in the face of the powerful firepower of the Zhou family's army, the three lord-level land-type fierce beasts were also killed under the city wall one after another.
Although the firepower of the Zhou family army was extremely strong, there were still fish that slipped through the net, which brought some losses to the Zhou family's army, especially a low-level flying beast poisonous mouth bat.
Because of their large numbers, poison-beaked bats from time to time break through numerous MG-34 general-purpose machine guns to form an air defense network.
The poison-billed bat is the size of a domestic cat, has weak melee ability, and can only bite with its mouth, but the saliva of the poison-billed bat is highly poisonous, and once bitten by a poison-billed bat, it will kill in a few breaths.
Waiting for the giant screen of the colorful halo, there are no new fierce beasts coming out, and there are more than 50 officers and soldiers of the Zhou family who died under the mouth of the poisonous bat.
Coupled with the officers and soldiers of the Zhou family who were killed by several land-type fierce beasts that climbed the city wall, the Zhou family killed a total of 63 officers and soldiers in this beast tide.
At this time, Zhou Rui also received a prompt from the system, congratulating him on completing the task of "calming the beast tide", and rewarded Zhou Rui with a three-star lottery card and 30 points.
Another 30 points have been added, so that Zhou Rui's points have accumulated to 110 points, and only 90 points need to be added, and Zhou Rui's level in the lottery system can be upgraded to another level.
Zhou Rui trembled and lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep breath.
Just now, Zhou Rui also controlled an MG-34 general-purpose machine gun and kept shooting at the beast.
Zhou Rui gathered tens of thousands of troops this time, but in fact, he didn't need to go into battle in person.
Zhou Rui came to the front line of the city wall, more for show.
As the de facto head of the Zhou family, you can't always hide behind and only let others work hard.
Although Zhou Rui has been controlling the MG-34 general-purpose machine gun, and even changed the barrel six times during the period, the used bullet casings have been paved with several layers under Zhou Rui's feet.
But Zhou Rui did not encounter any danger, Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xiong San, Niu Ben, Niu Heng, Niu Zhang, six grandmaster-level masters, surrounded Zhou Rui from beginning to end.
The reason why Zhou Rui's hand trembled was because the continuous shooting was shocked by the recoil of the machine gun.
