Chapter 41: A Race Against Time
? The nerves of the soldiers had just been relieved from the tense battle, and a pungent scorching smell began to stimulate the brain along the nose, and then they realized how disgusting the smell of the sapper insect corpse outside the base was, in addition to the unpleasant smell of the sapper insect itself, the sapper insect corpse that was scorched by the flames spewed by the tank insect spew out the corpse expanded the smell countless times, and even the eyes could feel a spicy pain, in such a harsh environment, The soldiers standing guard still chose to take advantage of this time to eat the food that was delivered, firstly because they were hungry and thirsty after a long battle, and partly because they had eaten their meals now, and when it was their turn to rest, they would have more time to eat. br/>
In comparison, the first wave of resting soldiers were much luckier, they could enjoy their hot dinner in the canteen full of the smell of food, but no one coveted this comfort, everyone gobbled up the food in front of them in a few minutes, because compared to filling their stomachs, the soldiers were more eager to throw their tired bodies into the not soft beds as soon as possible, even if they couldn't sleep beautifully, completely relaxing and closing their eyes could also dispel most of the fatigue, And this may also be the last time I will be in bed in my life, so everyone cherishes this opportunity.
After dinner, Zhang Cheng, the ghoul and Murong Wei returned to the dormitory, while Chen Yingxu and Wang Jiahao were sent out to guard, and Zhang Cheng's performance in the previous battle was already very eye-catching, so no one cared why his belated companions didn't participate in the battle.
"What should we do, we will probably not be able to hold the base after dark, and we will not be able to use any of our abilities by relying only on these soldiers, so the situation will be very unfavorable for us." Although he was full of confidence in front of Lieutenant Hunter and the soldiers, Zhang Cheng could no longer hide the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart when he returned to the dormitory.
"Didn't you promise to keep it for 12 hours, but now it's just over 7 hours, and you can't hold it." He Chuli's tone was very flat.
"It's not that it can't be held, it's just that even if it lasts for 12 hours, and after that, there are not many magazines in the magazine, and even if we add the magazines we collected on the planet Kedadu, it will definitely not be able to return to the main god space." Although the night has almost no effect on the members of the Middle-earth team, as ordinary human soldiers, they can't show their strength during the day in the night, at least the accuracy of the ** hit will be greatly reduced due to the influence of the night, but it is not easy for the Zerg to take advantage of the dark night to storm the base, and what worries Zhang Cheng the most is that when the ammunition is exhausted, how to rely on these soldiers to defend the whiskey outpost, the automatic step without bullets is not even as good as a burning stick, can they and the Zerg** Seize.
"Don't worry, soon you will be able to use your abilities without any scruples!"
"Soon you can use your abilities, and when will it be soon, don't you have to take care of those plot characters." Zhang Cheng was very dissatisfied with He Chuli's irresponsible answer.
"You don't have to worry about so much, what you need to do now is to take advantage of this time to recover your ** strength, all the battles with the Zerg so far are just a simple game, and the real battle is about to begin, and now we are guarding the whiskey outpost that should have been attacked by the Zerg, so the plot has changed, and soon the main god will greatly increase the difficulty of this mission, if you have the kung fu to get to the bottom of it here, it is better to rest or think about how to face the unprecedented attack of the Zerg." He Chuli replied coldly.
The previous battle intensity is not worth mentioning for Zhang Cheng at all, even if he continues to fight until he returns to the main god space, Zhang Cheng does not have any questions, but He Chuli obviously does not want to answer Zhang Cheng's question when he says this, so Zhang Cheng is not good to continue to ask, and even if he continues to get to the bottom of it, she will never say anything according to He Chuli's ** character.
In fact, the Zhongzhou team members, including Zhang Cheng, have long been accustomed to this feeling of being kept in the dark, whenever He Chuli hides something, it means that her next layout may have some outrageous effects, but I have to admit that He Chuli's unscrupulous layout can often maximize the benefits, plus she has promised not to calculate the official members of the Zhongzhou team, so Zhang Cheng has no choice but to let it go.
Zhang Cheng didn't even take off his dirty coat and lay on the bed, but he didn't care that the light green ** sheets were stained with dirt, because after sleeping this night, Zhang Cheng never had the opportunity to touch this bed that did not belong to him.
Zhang Cheng forced himself to fall into a deep sleep, although the previous battle did not consume any ** strength, but he still planned to face the next battle in the best condition, from falling asleep to waking up again It only lasted 15 minutes, but this was enough to recover the previous ** power and brain power consumption, at this time it had been 1 hour since the Zerg retreated, although it was agreed with Lieutenant Hunter that the shift would change after 1 and a half hours, but Zhang Cheng still jumped out of bed and walked towards the outside of the barracks.
……
Hunter joined the mobile unit at the age of 18, and it has been a full 21 years, although his ability is outstanding, but as an infantry without any supersensory ability and illustrious family background, in this era when there is almost no war, the rank of lieutenant is basically the end of his life, Hunter has always thought that he will eat and wait for death in the position of lieutenant, until he becomes an ordinary name in the citizen's tombstone, but he didn't expect the war to come so suddenly, And this time the enemy encountered by mankind is unprecedentedly strong, although this also provides Hunter with an opportunity to show his strength, but for the day when the Federation General personally hangs the rank of major in front of himself, Lieutenant Hunt does not have much confidence, especially at this moment, he has never felt that death is so close to him.
"Ha**Na, if I can't get back to you again, I hope you can take care of Laura......" Lieutenant Hunter looked up at the sky and silently recited the names of **Zi and **Er.
"Sir, the ** disease of the communication system has been cured, it seems that someone has tampered with the circuit, I don't know who did it." While Lieutenant Hunter was pondering, the voice of the communications soldier Fali suddenly came from his helmet.
"Now I don't have the time to investigate who did it, the most important thing is to quickly repair the communication system, and then quickly report the situation here to the federal **** and ask for support." Lieutenant Hunter snapped, and his tender eyes suddenly returned to a sharp gaze.
"Give me 3 hours and I'll fix the communication system." Farley said.
"Two hours, you only have two hours." Lieutenant Hunt ordered irrefutably.
"Ah,...... Yes, sir. Farley cut off the communications, and it looked like he was going to have to fix the communications system every second.
"The communication system is going to be fixed!"
A voice came from behind him, Lieutenant Hunter turned around, then nodded and said: "Yes, Zhang Cheng, there are still two hours before the communication system can be restored, if we can survive until that time, you will be the hero of this battle!" ”
"Hehe, it will." Zhang Cheng stepped forward and patted Lieutenant Hunter on the shoulder like an old friend, but Lieutenant Hunter did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with this kind of overstepping his authority, "Okay, I'm almost rested, you can go to sleep too, the Zerg shouldn't have any action before dark!" ”
"No, you were in command almost all the time in the previous battles, I didn't do anything at all, and I didn't need to rest, so you better go and sleep for a while." Lieutenant Hunter shook his head and rejected Zhang Cheng's proposal.
And just when Zhang Cheng was about to say something, the master chief suddenly walked out of the barracks, he trotted all the way to Lieutenant Hunter, first gave a military salute, and glanced at Zhang Cheng next to him, and then whispered something in Lieutenant Hunter's ear.
"The seriously injured soldier with Bao ** has woken up, he is desperately struggling in the nutrition **, as if he wants to say something, although his injuries have not been completely repaired, but the medical officer has closed the repair cabin according to your original order, and after all the nutrition ** in it is released, the soldier can come out to explain everything, should you go over and take a look now." Although the non-commissioned officer avoided Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng heard his every word clearly.
"Oh." Lieutenant Hunter frowned, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Cheng beside him.
"Lieutenant, you can go ahead and get busy with anything, I don't have any questions here." Zhang Cheng said with a smile.
Lieutenant Hunter sighed, then nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you here!" ”
After saying that, Lieutenant Hunter followed the Master Chief to the barracks, looking at Lieutenant Hunter's back, Zhang Cheng shook his head helplessly, he really hoped that this lieutenant with a strong sense of responsibility could survive this battle, but Zhang Cheng would not go out of his way to protect Lieutenant Hunter, because the safety of the members of the Central Continent team was more important to him, so whether Lieutenant Hunter could survive or not could only be left to fate.
There were less than two hours left before dark, and Zhang Cheng carefully felt whether there was a slight vibration on the ground with his feet, so as to prevent the Zerg from opening the cave from the ground again to attack the base, and when Zhang Cheng focused all his attention, the power was surging in the barracks......
