Chapter 314: A Big Prison Beast with a Stick
The living space of the survivors is enclosed in an irregular rectangular military area, where three lines of defense are arranged in echelons. The one-metre-thick reinforced concrete walls were re-poured from the factory's original foundation, with the addition of several guard posts and some power grids. In between, a low firepower group in the shape of a mixed circle is combined. With machine guns and small-caliber direct-aim artillery as their main weapons, they became the outermost line of defense of the entire base.
The trenches behind the mounts of the guns lead to dozens of taller guard towers. These towers can be condescendingly divergent in their firepower, combined with the firepower below to form a standard line of death. Coupled with the large-caliber heavy artillery equipped inside the base, even if the first unfortunate line of defense is lost, those monsters that rush in will have to pay heavy casualties under the tower.
As for the last line of defense, there was an assault force of four heavy tanks and seventeen armored personnel carriers. This is also all the mobile assault forces of the entire base. This was also the main armed force of the rebel army at the beginning of its existence.
Today's weather is particularly gloomy, large and large dark clouds, pressing the sky very low, as if it is about to collapse at any time, the oncoming cold wind blows aby, stabbing the sentry on the sentry tower can only squint his eyes, a mountain rain is coming.
It's a pity that it's not the mountain rain that comes, it's the monster!
According to the living habits of monsters,Normal monsters will not appear in the daytime,Often during the day,It's also the most active time in the living area of the base,There will be people organizing dinners,Even in such a post-apocalyptic world,But there are also a lot of people who are happy in suffering,Once such an atmosphere is spread,It's easy to infect other people.,If you don't look at the towering city wall in the distance,It's impossible to associate the pleasure in front of you with the life in the outside world.。
But today, the people here are not happy, everyone's hearts are like being pressed on a huge stone, the atmosphere is a little depressing, there are few people walking in the living area, only some people who are very addicted to cards, still rubbing mahjong.
However, when the alarm sounded, everyone rushed back to their living quarters without any warning or urging, and all the non-combatants evacuated as if it were automatic.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the barracks also quickly dispatched and prepared for battle.
Hou Shen, the supreme commander here, also received the report, he hung up the walkie-talkie, and then continued to dig the durian on the table, he looked at the half basket of fruit left on the table, and was a little reluctant.
It wasn't until Deputy Commander Alpha called again that he chewed and said impatiently:
"Hello? It's just a little chop, what's the ...... panic about?"
"Even these little debris are not easy to deal with, the shells are ineffective against these guys, their bodies are hidden in the sandstorm, if you calculate according to the size of this sandstorm, in about an hour, the entire base will be swallowed by the sandstorm." Alpha really didn't panic, and his tone was calmer than Hou Shen's, as if he was out of the matter.
"Sandstorm?" Hou Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Okay, I know, those monsters are handed over to you." ”
According to reports from the watchtower, the number of enemies is very large, and it should belong to the kind of monster that acts in groups.
Prior to this, the Salvation Army roughly divided the types of monsters into four types, one is a small monster that acts alone, they are generally smaller, but they often have some strange special abilities, such as wall penetration, stealth, etc., like to poach humans, known as agile monsters. The second type of monster is larger, but not particularly exaggerated, and they tend to fight head-on, even in a group, there are no more than five, and they are called normal monsters. The monsters in the third chapter are particularly huge, such as the cyclops and electric rays that Yu Changsheng encountered before, they are often extremely difficult to deal with, with rough skin and thick flesh, and are called giant monsters. The fourth type of monster is usually infested in clusters, with an astonishing number of them, and there will be a leader who is responsible for ruling the entire group, and they pose the greatest threat to humans, and are called cluster monsters.
From the current observation of the watchtower, it can be inferred that the monsters attacking this time belong to a cluster of monsters, they seem to have the ability to control the sandstorm, and the huge sandstorm appears with them, constantly approaching the base, countless black shadows flicker in the sandstorm, and at the core of the sandstorm, there is also a black shadow that looks unusually huge, a bit like a giant monster. It's just that the enemy is still far away, and it is impossible to determine whether this huge black shadow is a monster or a protruding sandstorm.
Alpha arrives on the front line under heavy artillery fire, and the rebels strike first, attacking the monsters in the sandstorm before they even approach. But this time the enemy they faced was obviously different from the past, the enemy was hidden in the sandstorm, and it was impossible to judge whether it hit or not, but judging from the still dense black shadows, it didn't seem to have much effect, as the sandstorm got closer and closer, some shells were even directly involved in the sandstorm, instantly dumb fire, and lost its effect.
"Sir, these monsters are really difficult to deal with this time, judging from the current situation, weapons alone should not be able to stop them." A front-line commander said to Alpha. "After the vanguard unit in charge of detecting the enemy's situation rushed in, they have not returned yet, and when they return, they should get more accurate information."
Alpha knew the sandstorm better than the front-line commander, and he had seen the fate of the vanguard troops, all of whom had been sucked into jerky by the mummies in the sandstorm, and the three armored vehicles had been trampled to pieces by the huge black shadow in the sandstorm.
Alpha didn't answer, and didn't seem to be very interested in destroying the monsters, he kept looking back at a camp not far away, the same room he had just come out of, and he seemed desperate for the lazy Waiter to join the battle soon.
Finally, when the sandstorm was only less than 5,000 meters away from the base, Hou Shencai finally walked out, he ran to him in small steps, looked at Alpha in surprise, and said incredulously:
"Huh? You haven't even gone yet, I thought you were about to solve it? ”
Alpha glanced at him, and said angrily:
"The enemy this time is really difficult to deal with, so let's get some real skills."
Hou Shen grinned, shook his neck, winked mischievously and said:
"Don't worry, it's a trivial matter."
Then, Hou Shen picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered:
"Attention of the whole army, stop the attack, activate the defensive mode, only attack the monsters within five hundred meters, and no one is allowed to leave their posts without permission and stick to the base."
With that, Hou Shen rushed towards the sandstorm at incredible speed, and Alpha followed closely behind him.
Most of these soldiers were ordinary people, and they didn't see the aura and evil aura that lingered on the two of them at all, let alone know the power of harnessing this power.
Inside this sandstorm, there is a kind of prison beast that resembles a mummy, but unlike ordinary mummies, they have different forms, some resemble elephants, some resemble tigers, and some resemble humans, but without exception they are covered in dense bandages.
After Alpha and Hou Shen rushed into it, countless bandages all surrounded the two of them, and Hou Shen suddenly took out a small needle from the ear hole, which gradually grew larger, and finally turned into a stick, Hou Shen grabbed the stick tightly and swept it suddenly.
"Sweep through a thousand armies!"
Hou Shen shouted loudly, and the terrifying wind pressure swept in all directions, and the sandstorm was shattered, and the air flow that swirled straight up shook the sky, and dozens of mummies were swept into the air by this whirlwind that swirled upward.
Alpha glanced at him and muttered to himself with some disappointment:
"Can it be solved with a golden hoop rod again......
After the storm cleared, cheers rang from the camp.
Hou Shen held the golden hoop stick, tiger and tiger, swinging magnificent ripples, just touching the mummies fluctuating around the attack, all of them were shocked by this amazing power, these bandages even before they touched Hou Shen's body, they shattered into fine pieces of cloth. Despite this, these mummies have a stronger recovery ability than other prison beasts, and they were just shattered by Hou Shen, and they were quickly restored.
Although the number of enemies was not large, Hou Shen found that he could not kill them all no matter how he killed, and although he was in an advantageous position, he was surrounded by these mummies, trapped and fighting. After the layer closest to one's attack range is blasted to pieces, the outer ones will converge again, repeating the same mistakes again, and then the inner ring will be destroyed, and the outer circle will pour in again, and the cycle repeats.
Hou Shen was still relaxed at first, but after twenty minutes, he was already in a state of exhaustion, and the strength of the golden hoop stick in his hand was not as strong as before, and there was no way to block all the enemies who rushed over him like he did at the beginning, but as the attack speed decreased, the flaws gradually became more obvious.
At this moment, Alpha was also surrounded by the mummy, but his attack method was relatively simple, he did not use any weapons, but used the most simple and primitive hand-to-hand combat method, blasting the mummy close to him with one punch, and then immediately grabbed the fleshy orb in the bandage and crushed it into powder before the mummy recovered. Because the mummies in these sandstorms belong to the cluster of monsters, they don't have the core gem in their bodies to control their actions except for their leaders.
Alpha initially thought that the fleshy orbs might be similar to the brains of other monsters, and belonged to the lifeblood of these mummies, but when he continued to destroy them, he realized that his judgment was wrong. These mummies can't seem to be killed by any means, and even if they are blasted into unrecognizable pieces, they can still come back and come back to life in about five minutes.
"Damn, these mummies can't be killed at all!" Hou Shen roared angrily.
"They're not the worst." Alpha muttered to himself, and in the confusion, his voice would not even be heard by Hou Shen.
At the same time, Hou Shen suddenly realized a strange thing, when they were watching from the camp before, they found that in addition to the mummies, there was a huge shadow in the sandstorm. But when he and Alpha rushed into it, they found that the huge shadow that had stood in the sandstorm was gone, as if it had never been here.
Hou Shen was already tired of facing the battle, he felt that his physical energy was depleting faster and faster, and he was afraid that it would not be long before he was exhausted, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, setting off a turbulent current in the white mummy again and again. He had to persevere, because he knew very well that if these monsters were allowed to enter the camp even he could hard, it would not just be a disaster, it would be a catastrophe.
