Albury was an ordinary Marine. He trained well, was wounded in countless difficult battles, returned to fighting, was wounded again, and returned to fighting....... He behaves like a hero who can never be defeated. But this is all dictated by the cruel military service system of the Empire. And marines like him, there are thousands more in the empire.

Because Albery's position has been under the threat of insects for a long time, his daily actions are maintained in two aspects: [vigilance] and "combat". Every day, the soldiers on the battlefield and their comrades are caught up in the tired tactics of the insects. But infuriatingly and powerlessly, the Worms didn't pour too many troops or advanced troops into the position - the only few siege tanks to help defend the position certainly couldn't resist the attack of the Worm Thunderbeast, but they didn't send more cockroaches and stinging snakes, and they didn't send even a single Thunderbeast to attack the position. And every day there will be multiple batches of alien insects attacking.

The Insects are in a state of harassment, and their numbers are not large enough to damage the number of the Insects' base camp, but the Imperial soldiers in the position must all be in good spirits to deal with the harassing attacks of the Insects.

If it's a day or two of action, forget it, but the intensity of the alien insect is not large, but the attack that cannot be ignored has lasted for half a month.

Not a single soldier on the battlefield had a good night's sleep, and even the commanders who patrolled the position could spot the thick dark circles under their eyes.

To be honest, I can't stand it anymore if I go on like this. Severe sleep deprivation leads to a decrease in combat ability.

Such as lethargy, decreased shooting accuracy, decreased speed of rapid arming in the face of insects, and so on.

And the worst thing is that in the last few battles, some of the comrades-in-arms have injected doping drugs on their bodies to ensure the safety of their lives.

Too much stimulant in a short period of time can kill people.

Despite Albury's concerns, the pain of not getting enough sleep had taken a toll on Albury's nerves, and he watched as his companions stood and rested with the support of the exoskeleton of his battle armor. But they couldn't stop them.

If they sleep too dead and miss the battle, will it affect the battle?

But Albury could no longer support himself to wake up, and the tiredness came in waves like a strange insect attack. It's been six hours since the last insect attack, which is already more than the experience of every four hours of the insect attack. And in order to prevent the insects from playing tricks and disrupting the defense frequency that the empire has become accustomed to, many marines have maintained their attention for a long time.

Intense concentration can easily bring about tiredness, and this tiredness is infinitely amplified by the blessing of nearly half a month of tiredness.

Soon, Albury closed his eyes.

.......

Albury opened his eyes, and he was greeted by his large can mask. Feeling refreshed, he opened the mask—the fresh air outside the mask mixed with the scent of the dead insect unit entered Albery's nostrils. The disgusting smell of decay filled Albery's nose, but to his surprise, he didn't want to vomit in the stench.

Probably related to the fact that I slept a lot and rested my body comfortably?

"You're crazy! I actually opened the mask! Albury's friend Leith walked up to him and lashed out at him.

Albury closed his mask with a grin, and he didn't mean to be angry, but his heart was full of joy.

"I heard that in a galaxy far away, the insects have created a terrible virus, and after they infect you, they will turn you into a terrible monster....."

Albury had heard a lot of such rumors, and he was the first to scare his companions with them. Now that he is being intimidated, Albery has no waves in his heart and even wants to laugh a little.

"Oh yes." Albery interrupted Leith, "How long have I been asleep?" It seems like it's been a while. ”

Looking up at the sky, it was still a dim day before I closed my eyes, but now it is a wonderful night.

"About twelve hours. You're standing in the middle of the road and sleeping a little bit...... Many people wake up and see you in the way and move you aside. ”

"Uh.... Is it? It's a bit awkward, and Albery's tone is full of confusion.

"By the way, Keita is dead. Hurian died. ”

"How did they die?" Albury has to participate in many battles every day, and it is impossible for everyone to know them under the high frequency of combat. But more or less heard of the name.

"The battle between them has put too much stimulant, and this time the insects don't attack, and they will sleep to death."

Dead asleep? Human death is as heavy as Mount Tai, and as light as a feather. It's just that I didn't expect that there were no dead people under N's many battles. On the contrary, it was a single sleep that took his life.

Albury wanted to avoid it all.

"Come on, Leith. Maybe the insects will attack again. ”

.......

The battle that Albury wanted soon began. After almost twenty-four hours of no attack on the Imperial positions, the Worm attack soon struck. But what is strange is that the insect held back for twenty-four hours and finally did not hold back the ultimate move or more troops to attack the position. There are also five cockroaches, five stinging snakes, and more than thirty jumping insects.

Soon, the Alien Insect troops coming along the high-speed passage were very scattered and stopped outside the range of the siege tanks.

The high-speed passage was dilapidated in the few battles, but in the face of the deserted city roads, this road was still intact and could accommodate the rapid passage of a large number of Alien troops. As a result, the Imperial position focused more of its defenses on defending against the Alien Insects attacking from the frontal passages.

Soon, the Insect Force chose to attack.

As usual, the cockroach, as the most powerful one in armor and vitality, took the lead in rushing to the human position. And in Albery's eyes, it was clear that something had changed.

In the past, the insects attacked at a speed far behind the cockroaches, and the jumping insects often rushed the fastest. While absorbing tons of Marines' bullet damage, it also gives the stinging snake and the blaster a chance - now, there is not a single green blaster present, and the jumping worm is cowering behind the cockroach. Expose the cockroaches to damage from the Marines.

Naturally, it is impossible for the marines to waste too many bullets on the carapace of cockroaches that cannot be penetrated at all, and the cockroaches that enter the range of siege tanks directly suffer a lot of damage from siege tanks.

Soon, the cockroach with thick skin and flesh fell to the ground under the heavy fire of the siege tank, and the jumping worm with the cockroach as a meat shield jumped out in an instant and ran towards the hard fortress of mankind.

The siege tank turned its guns and aimed at the Stinging Snake. No longer care about scattered stations, jumping insects that can't blow up anything with one shot.
