Chapter 153, the Reaper's Line of Defense
What kind of power can human language have?
If there was no "Pastoral Oath", would the tens of thousands of slaves and foreign armies have defected for King Wu of Zhou; If Hitler had not had his impassioned oratorical talent, would the whole of Germany be deceived by him and spread the flames of war to the whole world; If human beings do not have the ability to puff up their tongues for their own positions, how many unsolved cases like "Rashomon" can be revealed?
Unfortunately, humanity is still unable to believe in the language and writing it has invented, just as humanity itself cannot fully trust other humans, and this estrangement has created the individual itself, and it is also one of the strongest weapons that humanity has acquired since civilization and power replaced the Minion Forest.

Lu Pingchuan was lying in his sheriff's office, looking up at the empty ceiling, digesting the irreparable consequences of a sentence that had brought him. For three days, he had been experiencing a painful loss -- the loss of his comrades, the loss of his position, the loss of trust, his prestige, and his self-confidence as a commander...... But all of this can't compare to his regret at the moment for his lack of firm and easily shaken willpower: because of a word, he may have lost Xia Yan forever.
Three days ago, two battles were about to be fought in the east and south of the town...... And the "Death's Nest" **** located on the west side of the map of the mining area has been guarding here for more than 16 hours, and he still has no idea about the upcoming reinforcements.
"Madeleine, hasn't the communication signal been restored?" In the desert heat, the underground cavern of the "Death's Lair", where the ventilation system has been closed, is as if it were a chimney leading to the steamer of hell. Zod wiped the sweat from his face and turned back to his medical officer. Madeleine glanced down at the system dial, adjusted the communication channel of the individual radio station, and shook her head helplessly: "No, it's still the same, and I can't send any news." ”
"Damn, what's the name of those eight lambs on the other side? Even the communication support of the game background can be completely cut off! Zod had already removed the exoskeleton on his body, holding his HK416 assault rifle in one hand, and carrying a bullet belt on his upper body, if it weren't for Madeleine and Liu Yuying in the hole, he would have been able to take off his pants naked...... Right now, there are seven people left in the "Death's Lair***, and in addition to Zod's squad, there is still one fighter and one sniper left. On another hill a stone's throw from the cave, at least ten sniper rifles are watching the action.
A day earlier, Zod had received a distress message from a mining outpost and had volunteered to organize a team of more than 20 people to come to the rescue. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the map of the mining area, all the remaining personnel in the original outpost had been killed, and the opposing party had infiltrated and surrounded the outer terrain and the only main road connecting the mining area to the main city, trying to eliminate them as well...... Thanks to Zod, they ran several trips to the mining map under the command of Xia Yan that year, and they were more familiar with the terrain, so the group fought and retreated, and came to the "Death's Lair" located on the west side of the mining map, and used the copy terrain to temporarily transform this place into a bunker to resist the long-range sniping and pursuit of enemy snipers.
Through the cracks in the makeshift stone walls outside the entrance to the "Death's Lair", Zod glanced at the situation outside the cave - it was still calm and eerie, except for the sand and dry weeds gently lifted by the wind, and there was not half a figure in sight. However, Zod had no doubt that as soon as he appeared outside the cave at this moment, he would be instantly targeted into a sieve by a dozen sniper rifles...... Even though they had the absolute combat power and familiarity with the terrain like Zod, they still paid the price of sixteen lives on the way to the "Death's Lair". The seven people who are still alive in the cave at the moment are not all bearded and full tail - Madeleine is changing the arm of one of the snipers: his right hand was pierced by a 7mm sniper bullet, and he has been suffering in this hot cave for a long time, and now he has developed a low-grade fever, and if he does not carry out systematic treatment, he is afraid that he will not be able to survive.
"Boss, you can't go on like this! We're running out of water, and if we continue to consume it like this, don't wait for the other side to call in, we'll all be suffocated here first! Joseph, also shirtless, climbed to Zod's feet and said as he fanned the wind with his combat cap. Zod didn't turn his head to look at him, but continued to stare at the scene outside the cave, as if looking at it like this, the soul could share a wisp of fresh air outside the cave, as if it were cast in stone.
“…… Top dog? "Hold on until the sun sets, and if there is no support by then, we will find a way to break through by ourselves!" Joseph was interrupted by Zod just as he wanted to ask, and when he looked up again, he saw that Zod's forehead was faintly bruised, and his face was pale and terrible - after being forced into the cave, Zod gave the water in his water bottle to the women and wounded in the team, and he stayed at the entrance of the cave to keep watch, repelling two groups of enemy assault teams that came to touch the fort, but even so, he could not grab the slightest supply from the dead under the nose of the sniper on the opposite side...... Right now, in this aggrieved and narrow hole, he is the one who has endured to the limit.
After retreating into the "Death's Lair", Zod realized that his emergency plan was really the best one: the "Death's Lair" is located west of the middle of the entire mining map, and to the east of it, there is only one sheep's intestine path leading to the mining copy; To enter the mining dungeon from the post station at the entrance, you must also pass through the clearing in front of the entrance to the "Death's Lair". This is equivalent to the choke point of entering the mining dungeon, but from several high ground near the entrance of the post station, you can also rely on the distance advantage of snipers to watch here...... When they enter the cavern and transform it into a bunker defense, Zod is playing a dead-death game: they can't bypass them and enter the mine, and they can't get out of the "Reaper's defense" and strategically shift under the sniper's scope.
