Volume 1 Departure Chapter 20 The Story of Mudong (2)
The bald man had already jumped into the cockpit the first time he realized that something was wrong.
He drove back in the direction he had come.
Behind the carrier, seven dark red monsters were in hot pursuit.
This kind of monster, which is commonly known to people on Earth as a monster similar to a licker, is synonymous with alien races.
And from the words of the previous captain, the trainers also knew the name of this alien race.
Scarlet Demons.
Also known as "reptiles".
These scarlet demons were huge, nearly three meters long, almost the size of a delivery vehicle.
The big man and Mu Dong stood at the back of the car, both with a different weapon in their hands, which seemed to be a special machine gun.
Dadada! Dadada!
The machine gun roared with the big man, unafraid of bullets, and vented his anger at the reptiles chasing after the car.
"Bed bugs, die!" The big man has a hideous face.
As the "protagonist", Mu Dong also roared and fired at these reptiles.
Surrounded by more than forty reptiles, the captain and the rest of his teammates were hopeless at that distance.
Obviously, the three people outside have given up on the rescue, and now, all they have to do is save their lives.
"The canopy is shielded from long-distance signals...... this is what Captain Sini said before, and Ling An, as an audience, remembered it in his heart.
There may be some conspiracy in that mining area, and the task of the big man and Mu Dong is to pass the news back.
Otherwise, the Glorious Army may have suffered even greater losses there.
These are Ling An's guesses based on the "plot", but the actual situation is actually the same.
Due to the rugged road conditions, the car was a little bumpy, and Mu Dong's perspective picture continued to rise and fall.
Machine guns are of limited use against reptiles.
On the one hand, it was because the machine gun did not seem to be powerful enough, and the car was bumping up and down, which had a great impact on the hit rate.
On the other hand, it is because these scarlet demons are very fast, although they are humanoid, they use their hands and feet together without the slightest incoordination, and they dodge while chasing, and it is difficult to hit.
The skin of the scarlet demon seems to be very tough, and when the bullet hits it, it can only spark in bursts!
"Woohoo!"
A scarlet demon roared suddenly, and Mu Dong's gaze suddenly soared.
Bang - boom!
It seems that Mu Dong himself has experienced several rotations in the air, and the audience's perspective picture has also rotated.
Finally, Mu Dong fell to the ground, seemingly slumped to the ground.
"What happened?"
This is not only Mu Dong's question, but also the question of all audiences.
As Mu Dong's gaze shifted, the answer was revealed:
The car was flipped directly to the flanks, and in the original position of the line, a small pothole appeared, and a scarlet demon stood in the middle.
There is only one explanation for this situation.
It was already there, and even when Mudong went to the mine from here, it was hidden underground.
And when the car drove by, the scarlet demon buried below suddenly lifted up, just in time to overturn the car.
The intelligence of the alien race is never too low.
It's a trap, a trap through and through.
"Woo woo...... The scarlet demons behind him slowly approached.
Mu Dong's gaze moved left and right and found the big man.
The big man got up and pulled out what looked like a long knife from behind him.
"Recruit, stand up!" The big man roared and rushed towards the car.
The scarlet demon that had emerged from the ground was now rushing towards the overturned car.
The bald man was crushed under the car.
Mu Dong's nervous gasps made all the training soldiers feel the same way.
He also drew his weapon, his long knife in hand, only to find that the attention of the Scarlet Demons was drawn to the big man.
"Look for a chance to escape." The big man's whisper came over the communicator.
This is very clear to the audience.
The big man got up close and personal with the Scarlet Devil who had overturned the car.
The long knife seems to be made of a special material, and the skin of the Scarlet Demon can withstand bullets, but it is also cut in front of the blade.
And the big man seems to be more fierce than these scarlet demons, even if his head grazes with their claws at close range, he will draw his knife and slash at the other party.
The Scarlet Demons were quickly attracted to the big man, but the bald man got out from under the car and joined the big man in the fight.
A scarlet demon pounced on Mudong.
Mu Dong was not stupid, seeing this scarlet demon pounce, he consciously fought and retreated away from the central battlefield.
The fangs and giant claws of the scarlet demon almost grabbed Mu Dong several times, and Mu Dong kept wielding the long knife, leaving wounds on the other party's body.
This scene was displayed in front of the training soldiers from Mu Dong's first perspective, which made many people hold their breath.
In the distance, there was a loud bang.
It seems that the big man and the bald man used something similar to explosives.
Mu Dong was a little distracted, and it was this moment of confusion, the scarlet demon in front of him dragged his hand holding the long knife away with one claw, and when Mu Dong didn't react, another claw went from top to bottom.
Somehow, Mu Dong was knocked away and landed a few meters away from the Scarlet Demon.
Spectators saw blood rushing to the right of his vision.
The scarlet demon directly ripped off Mu Dong's right arm covered with battle armor!
"Woohoo!"
The Scarlet Demon howled and pounced on Mudong.
Bang!
At the moment of crisis, Mu Dong's only remaining left hand pulled out a pistol with a strange revolver from his waist.
Because it rushed towards Mu Dong in a daze, it didn't have time to dodge, and the shot hit the scarlet devil's knee.
The bullet appeared to be embedded in it, and then exploded, stopping the Scarlet Goblin.
Mu Dong took advantage of this opportunity to stand up and shoot it in the neck first.
The power of this gun seems to be very large, but the range is not far, and one shot explodes, actually making the head of the scarlet demon hang on half of its neck.
Even so, the Scarlet Demon did not die, and continued to struggle.
It's just that as its head and body separate, its movements slow down a lot.
Calming down, Mu Dong shot again, this time, aiming at the center of the reptile's eyebrows.
Bang!
The blood exploded, and the Scarlet Demon was completely silent.
Such a thrilling scene, fortunately, in the end, Mu Dong won the victory.
"Big man, bald man......"
Mu Dong's gaze turned to the side where the explosion came from, and his tone was a little sad.
The explosion just now must have killed all the scarlet demons around the big man.
"Hey, it hurts...... I have to get the information out quickly, I don't know if there is any coverage here, maybe it's going a little farther. ”
Mu Dong squatted down, put the gun on the ground first, and then took out a few bullets with a strange style.
He only had one hand left, and he could only reload like this.
Suddenly, in Mu Dong's sight, the ground in front of him turned black.
This is, the shadow of a certain creature.
There was the sound of muffled breathing behind him, and the sound of liquid dripping.
Mu Dong shuddered, picked up the gun with his left hand, and turned back suddenly.
"Ahh
Some timid trainers called out directly. Even Ling An's heart trembled.
In the first perspective of VR, the training soldier saw a large mouth dripping with saliva, which was constantly enlarged at the first time Mu Dong turned his head.
Subsequently, the camera went black.
Mudong is dead.
-------------------------------------
"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"
Rao is Ling An has seen the terrifying posture of the alien race, and he can't help but rise and fall in his chest at this time.
Taking off his glasses, most of the companions around him were not as good as Ling An, even Ye Zixu couldn't stop breathing at the moment.
All this seems to be a personal experience, which makes the trainees who have not yet been on the battlefield feel the fear from the heart.
No matter how heroic he was before, how he was mentally prepared, these things were in the minds of the training soldiers.
At this moment, the scene of the death of Mu Dong, who was their predecessor, was displayed in front of everyone with a very real scene with VR technology, and many people felt that their former firm beliefs were shaking.
Swallowing his saliva, Ling An calmed down.
The purpose of watching a "movie" should be to make the training soldiers realize the cruelty of the battlefield and be psychologically prepared.
The Glorious Army was well treated, and that was because of the brutal battles they faced.
It's no joke that only about a tenth of the fighters of the same class survive in the end.
"Is that just a fluster?"
Chief Instructor Zhan Jun's voice rang out from the front row.
"On Mars, danger is always around, and there are more cruel situations than what happened to Mu Dong."
"The reason why I let you see this record is that I hope you can really be prepared."
"What we need are warriors, and to put it mildly, dead soldiers!"
"Everyone must have the consciousness to die."
Chief Instructor Zhan Jun's words made the eyes of many training soldiers change.
These words have not been heard before, but never have they been so feared as they are now.
For some reason, after seeing Mu Dong's first-person perspective record, Ling An was still able to remain calm in his heart.
He was so calm that he felt something was not right to himself.
"Here's the second 'video' from a soldier stationed in the garrison. Put your glasses on! ”
This second film, also from the Third War Zone.
The protagonist is a garrison soldier on the first floor of the defense line of the third war zone, called Ji You.
He pilots a heavy mech and fends off alien attacks on the battlefield.
Unlike Mudong's guerrilla troops, the battles faced by the garrison troops were large-scale frontal battles.
The enemy may not be strong alone, but the number is overwhelming!
The scarlet demons surged like a tide in the direction of the position, and under the suppression of strong firepower, they still scrambled to be the first.
The scarlet demons here seem to be a lot weaker, compared to those seen in Mu Dong's perspective, their bodies are one size smaller, and their speed and strength are far inferior.
They are just cannon fodder.
And in the large army of aliens, there are countless alien races that resemble dark red scorpions, and their tails can emit a kind of extremely corrosive red rays.
These scorpions, under the cover of the Scarlet Devils, are constantly attacking the large defenses on the ground.
Including, heavy mechs.
In the process of fighting with the Scarlet Demons, Ji You's mecha was corroded by the mobile module, and then the protective shield was knocked open by the Scarlet Demons who pounced on him, and finally activated the mecha's self-detonation program before being eaten.
Death is as simple as that.
And through his perspective, the trainers also witnessed the death of many soldiers.
Many of them died without any waves.
Some were hit by the scorpion's red ray, half of their bodies melted, some were torn apart by the scarlet demons, and some were like Ji You, piloting a heavy mecha and unleashing their last rage before being killed.
"Over the years, human beings have been very beautiful on the surface, and their lives have been stable and happy, but they have all been accumulated with the blood of countless warriors." Ye Zixu said in a low voice, I don't know if he was talking about it to himself or to the people around him.
Ling An looked at him.
To be honest, Ling An never thought of dedicating himself to humanity.
He just wanted to save his sister's life, so he had to agree to Chief Zhou Yang, that's all.
Stick to it, and it's just out of commitment.
Even if he really arrived on the battlefield, Ling An would take his own life as the first element.
I'm not a noble and selfless person......
"Today's video, I hope it can provoke you to think about whether to choose the garrison or the guerrilla troops, even if you choose to quit, but this is the last chance. In a week, tell me your answers. ”
"Freedom of communication can start today. Now, let's disband. ”
Ling An was stunned.
Is this the last chance to give up?
Think about what Chief Zhou Yang once said that if he wanted to give up, he would only be able to do so after a year.
So now...... Are you being tricked?
"002, let's go." Ye Zixu patted Ling An on the shoulder. "What's wrong with you? Scared? The face is so ugly. ”
"Ahh
Ling An, who had a premonition that he might be pitted, had a somewhat ugly face.
called Hua Ji, 067 and others, and everyone left the lecture hall like other training soldiers.
In the position of the instructor in the first row, the Scarface instructor of the Praying Mantis Battalion smiled and said to the Ladybug Battalion Xiang Yi instructor next to him:
"Old Xiang, you say, after a week, how many cowards will choose to give up? I see a lot of little guys whose faces are white with fright. ”
Xiang Yi glanced at him.
"Didn't you do that back then?"
"you! Lao Tzu is originally white-faced! The dark-skinned Scarface instructor slapped Xiang with a blow.
"If you can overcome the fear in your heart, you will have enough perseverance to use the engine, if you can't even pass this level yourself, even if you send it, it will be meaningless cannon fodder." Xiang Yi said.
