Volume 1 Departure Chapter 22 Scarlet Demons
As I walked towards the dormitory, I thought about the content of this evening's exchange.
Ling An originally thought that he would not gain many things.
But out of expectation, he found that there were many people who were no worse than his own thinking.
In addition to talking about the selection of troops, the trainees seemed to hold back a lot of words.
In the past year, the only people I came into contact with were my comrades-in-arms in the same battalion, but every day, except for training and eating, I had to return to the single dormitory at the specified time, and there were not many opportunities to chat with others.
How can a group of good young people of the 22nd century hold back?
So they really talked enough today, except for their respective names and backgrounds, they didn't dare to say it, and they told them all the interesting things they had experienced.
"Although there is some disappointment, most people prefer to garrison troops, which is to be expected." Ye Zixu shook his head and said.
At this moment, more than a dozen people from the Ladybug Battalion, including Xiang Qingsong, 236 and 233, 246 and others, all walked with Ling An and Hua Ji.
Although their dormitories are not in the same building, they are all in the same direction.
"That's no way, after all, not everyone has such lofty goals as our 001 handsome guys." Ling An quipped rarely.
"Haha, 002, I'll take your compliment."
The two guys who had known each other for a long time looked at each other and smiled.
"This situation should be expected by the senior leaders and instructors of the Glorious Army, aren't they afraid that the number of guerrilla troops will not be enough?" Ladybug 233 said, touching his chin.
"The higher-ups have their own considerations, and maybe there will be other sources of fighters." Ladybug 236 guessed.
"For example, is it possible for those who are stationed in the troops to be converted into guerrilla troops? After all, having truly experienced the feeling of powerlessness in the face of war, the mentality of the fighters may change. He analyzed.
"Makes sense."
Ling An thought about it like this, it really made sense.
The mortality rate of the guerrilla troops far exceeds that of the garrison troops, but the number of fighters who are willing to join the guerrilla forces on their own initiative is relatively small.
As 236 said, it may be possible that some of the garrison troops will be transferred to the guerrilla forces in the later period.
"Did you hear anything?" Ye Zixu stopped suddenly.
Ling An was stunned for a moment, and then quietly listened carefully.
"What's the sound, it won't be ......" Xiang Qingsong asked suspiciously.
"Shhhh
The voice became a little clearer at this moment.
"Is it a commotion? What's going on over there? Ling An frowned.
To him, the distant voices were the shouts of many training soldiers.
"No, there are cries for help!" Ye Zixu shouted.
Everyone looked at each other, and their complexions changed.
"067, notify the instructor with the bracelet!" Ye Zixu said.
"Shall we take a look?" Hua Ji said hesitantly.
"We can get closer and see what's going on over there, but it's best to wait until the instructor arrives." Ye Zixu shook his head.
Ling An had been listening to the movement over there, and due to the vegetation and the darkness of the night, it was impossible to see what was happening in the distance.
"No, there are footsteps! Very powerful and fast! Ling An's face changed.
"What?" Ladybug 233 and the others said suspiciously.
For a moment, Ling An suddenly had a headache, as if a lightning bolt exploded in his head, making him subconsciously point in a direction.
"Be careful! Get out of the way! ”
Ling An issued a warning, then pulled Hua Ji and rolled to the right.
A black shadow rushed out from the direction pointed out by Ling An, but because Ling An had warned everyone in advance, although everyone was surprised, they all reacted subconsciously at that moment.
Ye Zixu's footsteps moved, his body retreated violently, and at the same time, he grabbed 067 and 233 with both hands, pulling them to the back together.
Ladybugs 236 and 246 reacted quickly, following Ling An's example and rolling away, and 236 also grabbed a Ladybug Battalion trainer.
Knock –
A muffled sound came.
“369!” The trainer who was pulled away by 236 yelled.
Ling An and the others looked at the location of the black shadow and were immediately stunned.
Huge body, scarlet skin, long horns on the forehead, huge claws and fangs, lying on the ground like a four-legged worm......
This kind of monster, Ling An only saw it through VR images yesterday.
Alien, Scarlet Demons!
And at this moment, the huge mouth of this scarlet demon was biting a person tightly.
Ladybug 369!
Hearing the cries of his companions, Ladybug 369 raised his hand in disbelief and struggled and reached out in their direction.
The Scarlet Devil's fangs bit into his waist, pain uncontrollably washing over Ladybug 369's brain.
"Save ...... Help me......"
Whoa—
Under the incredulous gaze of everyone, the Scarlet Demon raised a claw, grabbed the upper body of Ladybug 369, and then tore him in half with his mouth and claws!
Thump.
The trainer who shouted suddenly collapsed backwards on the ground.
He couldn't believe that his friend had died in front of his eyes.
"Run!"
Ye Zixu yelled, and he didn't even have time to pick up the collapsed trainer.
He knew very well that at this time, even the slightest delay could be the cause of his life.
The rest of the people were yelled at by him, and then they ran away in panic.
The scarlet demon's cloudy eyes revealed a hint of doubt, and it spat out half of the ladybug 369's body and looked in the direction where Ling An and Ye Zixu had fled.
Ignoring the trainer who was trembling and slumped on the ground, the Scarlet Demon used all four limbs and rushed out again.
The remaining trainer sat there with some confusion on his face, but more fear.
"Don't go over there, it seems to be there!"
Ling An shouted.
At this moment, his heart, like everyone else, was in disbelief.
How can there be an alien race here, a scarlet demon?
Although the aura of this monster was much weaker than the seventh one he had seen before, it was indeed a feeling of alienism.
And this guy's appearance is almost exactly the same as in the image, and it feels like all the scarlet demons are carved out of the same mold.
When turning an intersection, Ling An secretly said "not good".
Ling An and Hua Ji were not yet familiar with everything on the island, and the path they were familiar with was the direction that the Scarlet Demon was chasing.
"Go this way!"
Ye Zixu's voice suddenly came from the right side. Fleeing all the way, the Ladybug Camp is chased by the Scarlet Devil and separated.
Ling An and Hua Ji hurriedly followed.
"What now?" 233 asked.
He and 236 and 067 have been following Ye Zixu.
"What about 246?" Ling An asked.
"I don't know, he ran to the other side......"
"Woohoo!"
There was an oozing roar behind him, causing everyone to shut up and move faster on their feet.
"Run towards the first conference room, the instructors should all have a meeting there today, and the staff on the island can't stop these guys." Ye Zixu said calmly.
Rumble!
A telephone pole smashed from behind, Xiang Qingsong and Hua Ji couldn't dodge and were hit on the back foot.
This situation shocked everyone.
Looking back, the Scarlet Devil was less than 20 meters away from them.
"Gan!" Xiang Qingsong scolded, his eyes showing ruthlessness.
"You go, the master and him are fighting."
"Second brother, let's go! Let's drag it out a little bit. Although Hua Ji's face was a little pale, he still said so.
Ling An frowned and looked at Ye Zixu.
Ye Zixu didn't speak, but ran behind him.
"233, 236, the two of them taught you, please!" After Ling An finished speaking, he also ran with Ye Zixu.
Ladybugs 233 and 236 were stunned.
They...... Crazy? Running towards the Scarlet Demon!
I have to say that Ye Zixu is really a good match with Ling An.
Even the two of them can always get to the same line when they think about things.
"That's the training ground over there." Ye Zixu saw Ling An coming with him, and there was no surprise.
"Drag until the instructor arrives." Ling An's eyes were fixed on the scarlet demon.
Seeing that the two of them did not run away, but ran towards him, the Scarlet Demon seemed a little surprised.
Ling An grinned, and then Ye Zixu watched in amazement as he made an international insult gesture towards the Scarlet Demon.
I don't know if the scarlet demon can understand it, Ling An and Ye Zixu only saw it roar angrily.
However, its nose shrugged, and there was a hint of surprise and clarity in its cloudy eyes.
Howling again, the Scarlet Demon strode towards the two of them.
"Run!"
Without much explanation, the two tacitly ran away in each direction.
I don't know if Ling An's taunt was really understood by the Scarlet Demon, it actually chased in the direction of Ling An without the slightest hesitation.
It's a bit of bad luck...... Ling An said secretly in his heart.
He is not reckless, but he can't watch Hua Ji die.
There is no way to run with them, because then the only result is to die together.
Ling An cares about his own life, but he also cares about the lives of his family and friends. Besides, you don't have to die!
As soon as you turn the corner, the familiar training ground is in front of you.
The scarlet demon behind him was in hot pursuit, and Ling An completely relied on his familiarity with this section of the road to avoid being caught up by it for the time being.
But the distance between the two is less than ten meters.
"Woohoo!"
The Scarlet Demon leaped suddenly, but Ling An quickly leaned down.
Boom!
In front of him was a wall of extremely dark colors, which was difficult to see under the cover of night.
The huge body collided with the wall, Ling An looked at the scarlet demon whose head was stuffed into the wall, swallowed his saliva, turned his head and ran.
He ran straight into the training ground, which was thankfully empty of anyone else at the moment.
Bright lights turn on automatically.
Ling An didn't turn off the lights, he didn't know if the Scarlet Demon had a way to determine the location of the human other than vision, there was no light source, and it was difficult for him to observe its movements.
Looking at the training ground covered with various equipment, Ling An gasped slightly.
At this time, there was another howl of a scarlet demon outside, and Ling An's face turned pale, and he quickly ran into a small room in a training ground.
The inside of this room looks very different from the training ground outside, and the interior has a metallic texture.
At the door of the room, after using the bracelet to authenticate himself, Ling An quickly approached the inner wall of the room and closed the door.
"Whew...... Whew......"
A little nervous, but the more nervous he was, the calmer Ling An was at this time.
The scarlet demon seemed to smell where Ling An was, and a sound of swift and powerful footsteps came, making Ling An's whole body tense.
The Scarlet Demon seemed to have sensed that Ling An had nowhere to run, and its claws pierced the crack in the door, pulling the heavy metal door open little by little.
Finally, a terrifying figure appeared at the door of the room.
"Quack!"
The Scarlet Demon seemed to be laughing, but it was ugly.
Seeing him come in, Ling An held his breath uncontrollably.
Without a moment's delay, the Scarlet Devil pounced on him as Ling An had expected.
Here it comes!
Ling An's eyes flashed, and he pressed the bracelet.
Bang knock!
With a muffled thud, the Scarlet Demon slammed into the ground.
"Quack?"
A hint of confusion appeared on its ugly face.
"Huh, how does it feel to have ten times gravity?" Ling An gasped and smiled.
This room has been a nightmare for the training soldiers for the past year.
The gravity room, the middle section is the gravity change zone.
Each time, the trainees had to endure five times the force of gravity, walking from one end of the room to the other and back again.
If you don't understand this process, you won't understand the pain in it.
And at this moment, Ling An is adjusting the maximum gravity of the gravity room.
