A bell tower made entirely of stone sits on a small slope covered with greenery, and the bell tower is not high, less than ten meters high, and is three stories high. However, the bell tower is quaint, as if time has stood still here, and everything is still stuck in the 16th century.

Standing on the bell tower, you can see the firelight outside the armored wall at the edge of the city, and the faint roar of monsters in the distance.

"What about your stepfather?" Lin Ci suddenly remembered something.

Twilight shook her head, her eyes lowered, "My father-in-law had an accident, and my eldest brother turned into a monster, and I killed him with my own hands." As for the second brother and the third brother, they all disappeared, and then I met Kate. ”

"Oh? Have you ever met a girl? She was supposed to be with Kate. ”

"You're talking about Miss Han?"

"Kate told you?"

"I'm afraid that's bad news for you, Kate said she lost her mind and became a degenerate. Fallouts. ”

"What, fall. Fallout? Lin Xi was shocked, and his heart was indescribably depressed. exhaust

"Later, Kate was also imprisoned in those people's bases, and later the base was breached by xenos, and many of them escaped, including Kate."

"What about Kate?"

"He went on a mission and hasn't come back yet. By the way, why are you hiding your identity? ”

Lin Ci opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but suddenly an armored combat vehicle stopped under the bell tower, and a soldier on the car shouted: "Dusk Xue, the squad leader is looking for you." ”

"I've got to go first, I'll tell Kate when he gets back."

Twilight stepped onto the chariot and quickly left.

The next afternoon, the barracks heard the sound of an emergency assembly.

Lin Ci and the others came to the center of the camp as fast as they could.

Instructor Colonel Kvydov walked in front of everyone, swept these soldiers with a sharp gaze, and everyone who was swept by his gaze involuntarily puffed up his chest and swept over the last soldier, and the colonel said loudly: "Soldiers, the moment has finally come for you to take the honor!" Tomorrow, you will go to war. ”

The heavy pressure immediately hung over the heads of these soldiers, who had been told that they might be on the front when they entered the camp, but now when the colonel explicitly told them that they would go to war, the feeling was very different.

"Now come with me and I'll tell you what needs to be done. You have to remember me, remember every word I say. Kvydov gestured and walked towards a tent.

The soldiers marched into the tent in several groups, which was already full of chairs, and each of them found a chair to sit down.

In front of Kovydov put up a whiteboard and wrote with an oil-based pen and two letters, as well as and two numbers.

He glanced at everyone, turned around and put his hands behind his back and said, "Listen, tomorrow the military will start to carry out the counterattack plan." Due to the needs of the plan, some soldiers will be transferred, and this vacancy needs to be filled by our exploration team! ”

The soldiers nodded solemnly, even Lin Ci was no exception.

"The military divided the armored wall into five sections, each of which was divided into 10 sections. Tomorrow, our exploration team will be responsible for the two important streets in the eastern district, and the specific arrangements for these two streets have been worked out, and they will be distributed to you in the meeting. ”

"What you have to do tomorrow is to use all your means to repel the attacking monsters. Whatever method you use, even if you die, you can't let a monster invade the inside of the armored wall. Otherwise, you should understand what that means. ”

Kvydov quickly wrote the words ripper and gluttony on the whiteboard, and the colonel said: "As for the specific use of weapons, I think you should also learn how to operate them during this time. ”

"Tomorrow's battle will be dominated by tens of thousands of rippers. These humanoid monsters are terrifyingly resistant, and the bullets of ordinary machine guns can only kill them within 100 meters. In other words, the closer you are, the easier it is to kill. ”

"You have to remember that once they get close to you, it's best to shoot them in the eye. Because these monsters also change shape. ”

"As for gluttony." The Colonel snorted, "These guys have very sharp claws at the ends of their limbs, and their claws have been proven to be light alloys, so it shouldn't be difficult to use them to catch your stomachs." And its tail, which damn has a triangular tail blade of alloy hardness, and if it is nailed to it, even the skull can easily open a hole. ”

"You should all know this, gluttonies usually entangle you and slowly eat away at your body. Take on this monster and find every opportunity to attack its jaws. ”

Coming out of the tent, several wagons drove into the barracks, and Kvydov asked the soldiers to unload the equipment from the wagons, and after he counted them into the warehouse, he began to distribute them.

Compared with the equipment of the regular army, the equipment received by the exploration regiment was relatively simple, and after Lin Ci received a complete set of equipment from Kvydov, he counted it himself.

The equipment distributed was an automatic rifle, a number of magazines, a military dagger, a mini pistol, an incendiary bomb and a dozen grenades, as well as helmets, bulletproof vests and walkie-talkies.

Lin Ci armed his equipment at the moment, and his whole temperament suddenly changed.

Soon it was already evening, and today Kvydov did not arrange any other training, and even had a holiday in the afternoon.

After dinner, Lin Ci found a corner to check his equipment. The guns and ammunition had just been taken out of the warehouse, and the various accessories were basically fine.

was familiar with the rifle in his hand, and suddenly someone approached him, Lin Ci looked up, and it turned out to be the black man Luofu. The young man smiled shyly, "Can I sit here?" ”

"Whatever." Lin Ci continued to wipe the barrel of the gun.

Luo Fu sat down, took off his helmet and said, "Lin Ci, are you nervous?" ”

"Are you scared?"

"I ...... I see you're calm, were you a soldier before? ”

"No, but it's pretty much the same."

Luo Fu slowly lowered his head: "My hands are shaking at the thought of going to the battlefield tomorrow and facing those monsters. ”

"If you're scared, why did you join the exploration team in the first place, you could have found work in the arsenal." Lin Ci began to check the magazine.

"You know, now all the resources in Port Greene, including food, are distributed according to contributions. Because the barracks can allocate more things than the factory, I came, and I have a younger brother to protect. ”

Lin Xi's movements stopped slightly.

Love said softly, "My parents were dead during the first impact. For my brother's sake, I joined the exploration group. ”

"I thought the exploration team was just to maintain order in the city, but I didn't expect to go to the battlefield. But I heard that if you die, you can get a pension......" Luo Fu looked at Lin Ci, his voice was already a little trembling: "If I die, can you please give the pension to my brother." ”

"Why me?" Lin Ci raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

He forced a smile and said, "Because you are very brave, you will not die on the battlefield one step earlier than me." ”

Lin Ci stood up and said after a while, "I won't promise you." ”

Luo Fu was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Lin Ci to say this.

"If you want to protect your brother, try to survive!"

Watching Lin Ci walk away, Luo Fu was stunned.

After a long time, it dawned on the black man that he said, "Yes, I want to survive." I must survive, what will happen to them if I die! ”

The next day, when it was still dark, a hurried whistle sounded outside. Lin Ci immediately stood up, quickly picked up the equipment that had been sorted out last night, ran out of the barracks with the soldiers, and gathered on the playground. After all the soldiers assembled.

Kvydov nodded, and said earnestly: "Very well, you walk out of this camp today, and I hope to see you come back in the evening." ”

Several large trucks drove into the camp that were going to transport them to the armored wall, and Kvydov pointed to the trucks: "Now, get on the bus according to the formation I arranged for you yesterday, and no one will be left behind." Take action, boys. ”

"Go, go, go!"

When Lin Ci came to the bed of one of the large trucks, he unexpectedly saw a person.

"Sergeant Winnie?"

That's right, that beautiful female sergeant. She patted the seat next to her, "Together?" ”

She lowered her voice again and said, "The little girl with the red leaves who entered the city with you has been confirmed to be an xenomorph when the shellbreaker broke into the city that day, and has now been assigned to a xenomorph combat squad. ”

"Oh?" Lin Ci was as expected.

"What, it's unexpected?" Winnie's eyes as blue as the sea narrowed, and she said, "That girl named Momiji obviously wanted to hide her identity, so just in case, we used the latest scanner provided to identify the others. But unfortunately, Tavasha and Sally are ordinary people. You're the only one who hasn't done a second scan yet......"

With that, Winnie pulled out a scanner.

Lin Ci only glanced at it, and knew that it was indeed a new type of scanning gun, which could distinguish ordinary people from xenomorphs. At the moment, he was a little nervous, Lin Ci didn't want to record his identity, but if he did anything to Winnie at this time, it would be no different from his identity.

Winnie shook the scanner, "What do you think I'm going to write my report?" ”

"I don't know what you mean." Lin Ci said softly.

Playing with the scanner but not scanning Lin Ci, Winnie continued, "Momiji said that you are all from Bandel City, and there are people there who need to be rescued. ”

"But then I'm even more curious about how you two managed to escape from Bandel City. Momiji didn't explain this, so maybe you want to clear my mind. ”

Lin Ci looked at the scanning gun in her hand, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in this woman's gourd.

By this time, all the soldiers in the car were full, and the truck started and drove out of the barracks.

Winnie put away the scanner and said with a sudden smile, "I hope you can fight as hard as you can today." ”

Lin Ci couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I'll try my best." ”

Winnie glared and said, "No, you have to give it your all!" ”

Lin Ci smiled helplessly, and then nodded.

There are still people in the city today, and they will be indifferent if they know that this research sample is still alive.

The truck bumped all the way, and as the sound of artillery outside the car grew louder, Lin Ci knew that they were already close to the armored wall. When the truck stopped, an officer outside yelled at the soldiers to get out of the car.

Everyone jumped out of the car with nervous faces, Lin Ci and Vinnie got down together, Winnie stepped forward to hand over to the officer, and then said to Lin Ci and them: "You will be in the district today, and I will be your commander." Now all of you come with me, quickly. ”

She trotted up with the team, and Lin Ci looked up and could see the towering armored wall in front of her. The armoured wall encircles the city of Port Green, isolating the outside world.

Without this wall, I'm afraid Greenport wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long. Scaffolding and various engineering equipment can be seen everywhere inside the armored wall, and sparks are splashed in many places, but workers are urgently repairing them. This wall has to be repaired almost every day, otherwise the monster will be torn down in the morning.

There was an elevator to go directly to the armored wall, so Lin Ci followed Vinnie to take the elevator and ascend to the armored wall with the other soldiers.

The streets and buildings of Port Greene continued to shrink in the eyes of the public, and after a few moments, the elevator shook slightly, and it had reached the top of the armored wall. At the top of the armored wall, there is a passage of nearly two meters, and the soldiers are crowded into this passage, using various weapons to defend against the attacks of monsters under the wall.

When they arrived, the sound of artillery, the roar of anti-aircraft machine guns, and the screams of monsters continued to slap into everyone's ears like huge waves.

Lin Xi looked at those people, their faces were already too bad to be worse, and under Vennie's order, they were divided into six teams. The six teams would be divided into two shifts to take turns defending, with enough firing positions on the armored wall for the soldiers to shoot under the wall.

As for weapons such as cannons, anti-aircraft machine guns, combined missiles, and high-temperature jets, they don't need to worry about them. Some of them are remotely controlled by electronic devices, and some require professional gunners to operate, and it is not Lin Ci's turn to take over.

Lin Ci squatted on a shooting card and set up the carbine. Looking up, under the armored wall is the riverbank, and the one less than 100 meters away is the Aare River, which has dried up.

The riverbed is full of monsters, but the rippers and gluttonous eaters don't rush to storm the armor wall, most of the monsters are walking around meaninglessly, and only some monsters will crawl out of the riverbed and run across the riverbed towards the armor wall.

At this point, they first have to pass through the test of the induction mines placed on the banks of the river. Once they have crossed a minefield, they will be greeted by fire from the armored wall.

Lin Xi observed the monsters that appeared near the banks of the Ale River, the number was not large, and when the hundreds of monsters were scattered over a distance of kilometers, they seemed to be sparse.

The Rippers were only half as they rushed through the minefield, and they were greeted by a line of fire that shot down from the high walls.

But as soon as this wave ended, another wave of rippers sprang up on the other side of the river, and so on.
