The sentry also found the wetsuit in the gap. That means he dived and didn't come all the way to the bottom of the sea, as he is doing now. Zhang Kesong said seriously, "Think about it, such a person looks so arrogant, why didn't he use this ability in the water?" Swallowing up the waters of the sea, he doesn't have to sneak. ”

The commander's eyes lit up: "He can't stand it!" ”

"That's right. The royal rank is a man, not a god. He couldn't handle that much water. So we only have one stupid way - keep shooting and call for help from the forward base. ”

Ying Ran said solemnly: "I'll go." ”

But the captain executive officer was slightly stunned, and his face became even more gloomy: "Maybe this method won't work." ”

The commander was about to change color, but he was stunned for a moment because of his next sentence.

"I heard the cannonballs. There should be a fight over there, too. ”

The forward base was separated from the ruins of Zamboanga more than twenty kilometers, and the captain pointed to his ear as he spoke. People with physical enhancement types of abilities often also enhance their perceptions, and no one doubts his words.

What's more, everyone felt the ground shake slightly. When you look to the north again......

A faint cloud of fire loomed in the sky.

Ying resolutely lost his voice and said: "How is it possible? ”

The forward base was originally intended to carry out landing operations, and it was in a state of combat readiness from beginning to end, which was far from being comparable to the amount of defense here, but it was ......

That explosion is an ammunition depot?!

"That's the point." The commander said subconsciously. The ruins of Zamboanga were attacked at the same time as the forward base - presumably to contain one of them from being rescued. The strength here is insignificant compared to the three brigades at the forward base, so naturally it is not to contain oneself.

His face darkened with the words. However, no one spoke the second word for him.

They can't do anything about that king. The best way to save your forces is to stay out of the way for a while, retreat with the whole army, or even give up the city.

Even if the force field limiting device is still there, the situation will not be so passive.

But to defend the city or to abandon it......

No one can make decisions for him, and no one wants to make decisions for him.

The silence lasted only two seconds, and a soldier hurried over and shouted: "Report! The other party seems to be asking for a call! ”

The commander's face softened slightly. Since it was such a situation without support, he was not afraid of the death of the whole army - he was afraid of this extremely embarrassing atmosphere. The enemy remained motionless and allowed his own indiscriminate bombardment without making any demands, and he could not decide what to do with it.

The commander then strode over: "Take me to see!" ”

The order for a ceasefire was soon implemented, and the sound of gunfire gradually became sparse and disappeared at the last point. In front of the battle, there was an incomparably strong smell of gunsmoke. The ammunition that the soldiers had with them was almost gone. However, the combat attrition did not exceed thirty people.

Such a situation in a conventional war would inevitably mean a complete victory for one's own side, but now the commander has only an endless sense of shame in his heart - his proud soldiers and weapons are useless against the enemy!

With a tense face, he walked to less than a hundred meters from the enemy under the guard's escort, and before he could speak, he heard the thin man let out a gloomy but clear laugh.

"Less than 100 meters" - most ordinary people can no longer see each other's faces at a distance here. Even if you are talking, you have to shout at the top of your voice. But right now, the voice seemed to come from more than 20 meters in front of him. It was as if the sound had not been attenuated in any way within the person's invisible force field.

"All I need is myself." The man said in a hoarse voice. "Give me your prophets, and we'll get out of here."

The voice was so clear that almost every soldier in front of the battle could hear it. So the shouting and scolding immediately became one. Quite a few people raised their guns again in a clatter.

Ying resolutely glanced at Zhang Kesong and pulled her back: "Hurry up." ”

His behavior can be called "instant decision", and it does seem to be the best choice at the moment. Zhang Kesong knows this very well - these soldiers can't trap each other. Although they have been moving slowly, there is a possibility that they will not be able to move quickly. More likely, however, they are simply demonstrating.

But she bit her lip and shook off Ying Ran's hand.

Then he pulled out his gun and held it to his chest, pointing diagonally to his left.

Ying Ran's right hand was only a centimeter from her neck, facing the muzzle of the gun. He immediately tried to stun her when he heard the refusal, but everything he did seemed to be expected.

"Don't push me." Zhang Kesong said in a low voice.

Because it was here that he fought to the death. So she can't be a deserter here.

Ying resolutely withdrew his hand, frowning: "Do you have a better way?" Or are you going to be a prisoner? Or do you want to see all these people die? ”

Zhang Kesong silently pushed him away, and walked over separately from the soldiers guarding in front of him.

The commander already snorted in annoyance: "Who are you?" ”

The other laughed "hissedly" - as if a mouthful of thick phlegm was blocked in his throat: "Saint." ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The forward base has been in operation by the Empire for almost nine months. Nine months is enough time to bring life back to the surrounding area.

This world has changed beyond recognition, and both transportation and communication have become extremely inconvenient. Thus in the vicinity of the base, a small town was formed because of the frequent trade exchanges.

The "history" of the town is almost as old as the base. At first, a group of bold merchants set up a base here and sold fresh and inconvenient vegetables to the soldiers.

Without such a thing as a refrigerator or freezer, it is necessary to ensure adequate nutrition for the soldiers, and the superiors are already quite a headache. The presence of these merchants was quickly acquiesced. Because many oil fields and coal mines were severely damaged when the aurora appeared, even after being rebuilt, the production capacity was extremely low.

Human beings have been mining with modern machinery for more than 100 years, and they can no longer adapt to those bulky steam machinery. So there was a natural shortage of energy, and the formation of this town meant that there was no need to send a fleet of vehicles to make long-distance purchases, and everything was close to the nearest -

What's more, besides the vegetables, there are some other things that are quite popular in the town.

Once a trade point becomes legal, it will attract more people to come. A number of handicraft workshops also gradually appeared, and the town's market was enriched. Almost everywhere there is a thick cloud of war, and there are many people who originally belonged to Zamboanga City who cannot be properly resettled. As a result, a large number of civilians came here - not only because there was an opportunity to make money, but also because of ......

Living next to an army station, there will always be a sense of security,

But that sense of security was shattered tonight.

By the time the artillery fire roared, quite a few people were already panicking. By the time the ammunition depot exploded and the demonic xenos stormed the base, the inhabitants of the nearby town were already trembling as if the end had struck again. Someone even took out a photo of Li Zhen cut out of the newspaper and began to pray-

It would be better for another savior to appear.

Then the army came with news and demanded that the residents evacuate immediately.

Because the front line seems to be unable to withstand it.

There's no need to drive away. Everyone was already prepared, and they almost ran away with large and small packages. The newly thriving town suddenly became a place of fear for everyone to flee from, and the roads were soon occupied by a large number of people.

And a young man in a white shirt was walking on the main road out of town.

He leaned on his right side in an orderly manner, and was met by a panicked crowd. People are fleeing, and he's bucking the current. Some kindly advised him to turn around and walk quickly, but most just glanced at him and didn't stop.

So the young man stood on the side of the road and looked at these ordinary people with wide eyes.

Words—Countless words poured into his ears, and then they were summed up and left with only the part that interested him most.

From those around me, the most talked about content is-

"Do you think the person you met just now looks like a general?"

And the response to this kind of topic is basically -

"Where is the general still like this! Don't think so much and get out of ......."

And on the topic above, you will generally get a reply like this-

"Let's go, where are we going?"

The general meaning of the next sentence is-

"Go to Zamboanga! The Prophet is there, and the walls are high there—it's better than being chased to death in the wilderness! ”

A smile crossed the young man's lips. He felt like he had heard what he was most interested in.

In fact, he could see the fire and smoke in front of him, and he could also hear a roar that was difficult for ordinary people to perceive. But he just stood there and watched and listened for five minutes.

Then he felt that what was happening there was lackluster, so he turned around and began to follow the flow of people.

Refugees are always panicked, and when they panic, they leave a lot of things behind.

He walked a few steps and found a bottle of mineral water lying on the road. So he bent down to pick up the bottle of water in the midst of the surging crowd and unscrewed the lid. Rinse the cup clean, then fill it with water.

Then he took a sip, his brow furrowed.

He slowly drank the water and saw a young man in a rumbling steam locomotive glaring at him in surprise and pointing at him. But the boy was quickly pulled back by a woman, and the locomotive went away.

So he continued to take steps, walking slowly.

People who pass by him always have a certain peculiar feeling - a reluctance to approach him. Even though it was just a young man in an ordinary clean white shirt. But I was always worried in my heart, as if there was some kind of natural fear.

As a result, he was not scratched like the others, and a clearing formed within a meter around him.

And people further afield, of course, will not notice this scene. (To be continued.) )
