Chapter 261: Outbreak
For this urban siege, many people in the army have little confidence in their victory, including Gigret. Of course, as a soldier, you can't refuse to participate in the battle because you haven't made sufficient pre-battle preparations, so everyone still enters the city with the idea of dying, fighting with the monsters hiding in the ruins for every inch of land.
However, as the troops of all sides advanced in an orderly manner in the city, the previous idea of being able to suffer heavy losses due to the frenzied counterattack of the other party slowly disappeared, and the resistance of the monsters was far less powerful than imagined, and it seemed that they had also consumed too much strength in the previous series of battles.
Even a rookie like Gigrett, after he relaxed, he couldn't help but have the idea of finding an opportunity to kill a monster, otherwise it would be difficult to answer when others asked him after the battle, "Hey boy, how many monsters did you kill in the city just now?"
The recruit's wish was soon fulfilled, but not in the way he had hoped.
Sergeant March leaned against the door of the back of the armored car and chatted with Ron very casually, and as they talked about whether he and the others were on a mission according to the line of attack depicted by the paw prints of a pet cat in the command on the map, the long-awaited contact with the sled dog team finally arrived.
To be precise, it was not a liaison, but a radio announcement from the reconnaissance team to the whole army.
"Attention all troops, immediately and carefully inspect all the corpses of the monsters that have been killed in your vicinity, it is likely to ......"
The communication was abruptly interrupted here, and the rustling of electricity replaced the unspoken words that followed, and before Giggleet could realize what was going on, an explosion suddenly came from in the distance, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The experienced Sergeant March immediately tensed up and entered the combat mode, and rushed towards the back of the group with his rifle in hand, while Ron, who was his old partner, also hurriedly sat down in the gun control seat of the car, and the rear door of the armored car was immediately closed.
Giggleet's reaction was half a beat slower, and by the time he came back to his senses and started to follow the sergeant, he was completely unable to catch up with the other party, and could only follow from a distance behind.
"Burns, disperse!" Sergeant March waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers who had stopped their work to clear the road because of the explosion just now, "The corpses of those monsters are strange!"
These soldiers are all old fritters who have experienced a lot of battles, and they immediately dispersed after receiving the warning from the commander, but it was still too late. Giggleet, who was seriously behind in the race against Sergeant March due to his failure to get into the state in time, could see very clearly, and the corpse of the monster on the ground suddenly bulged from the inside, like a balloon that had been injected with air, and then burst with a snap.
There were several small monsters the size of ordinary straw dogs, which looked a bit like wingless locusts, and ran fast on the ground, and the speed of humans could not be compared to them.
Sergeant March raised his rifle and began to shoot at the monsters, and the soldiers around him who were in charge of guarding the road and did not participate in the road clearing work also did the same, and the rookie Gigrette naturally followed suit, trying to take out the monsters and help his comrades out of danger.
However, unexpectedly, or should be unexpected, the locust closest to the crowd suddenly exploded violently before the overwhelming barrage baptism. Engulfing everything in its vicinity was a green flame that Giggleet had never seen before, hot enough to melt metal, and several people, including Burns, suddenly turned into burning humanoid candles, dancing and struggling to fall.
Eventually, it turned into a flaming wreckage of unrecognizable debris.
Giggleet managed to kill a monster and earn his first victory, but he didn't feel the slightest bit excited about it, after all, if Sergeant March had ordered the recruits to follow Burns to clear the way, he would probably be one of the wrecks himself.
"Damn, you're playing with this!" the sergeant couldn't help but spat hard, and then began to quickly gather his troops to do something, "Everyone is moving closer to the armored car, we ......"
It was too late, and the monster corpses that had been thrown by Burns and the others to pile up on the side of the road swelled one after another, forcing everyone to turn their attention back again.

"Out of the corpse of the monster that was killed, a new monster that was one size smaller popped up? Are you sure?"
Nangong Rong looked at his cheap sister with an expression of disbelief on his face and asked, it was obvious that the young man didn't believe it very much. Not to mention that those monsters don't get pregnant at all.,After killing the big one, the small one in the belly starts to grow crazy after being stimulated.,Even if they can reproduce on their own, it's impossible for each head to be pregnant, right?
You must know that the human forces that have invaded the city from several directions have all been chaotic at the same time, which means that basically every killed hunter crawler has drilled new monsters into their bodies, and the time of their appearance is almost the same, this cannot be a coincidence at all!
Lin Weiyin, who had carefully observed the human troops for a long time, nodded very affirmatively: "Sure, and they appeared on a large scale at the same time, and the locals were completely defenseless against this, and they seemed very passive." β
Except for fanatical scientists, no one will be interested in the corpses of monsters that have been killed on the battlefield, and they are in the midst of tense battles, so they naturally don't pay much attention to the hunting crawl that has no longer any threat, so they just killed the monsters all the way forward, leaving many corpses behind them.
It also leaves many hidden dangers.
Despite their long-range energy attacks, which are not inferior to human heavy firepower weapons, monsters still prefer to engage humans in melee combat, as there is a high chance of one-sided crushing and a faster crushing of opponents without having to hit their heads in the heat of their heavy firenets.
So the group of green-skinned little gnomes did tricks and feet in the monster's body, maybe they buried some eggs waiting to hatch, anyway, as long as the time was almost right, they activated the eggs, and used the monster's body as nourishment to create new biological weapons. As a result, countless monsters will appear very abruptly behind the human troops, attacking their supply convoys, withdrawn wounded and reinforcements, and even forming a front and rear attack on the front line, easily achieving the purpose of close contact with humans.
Of course, this tactic can only be used once, and humans will definitely not be fooled again next time. But the question now is, will there be a next time for humanity, which has put almost all of its combat power into it?
"What should we do, we can't just watch the local army being defeated, right?" Octavir said with a frown as she glanced at the human army that was scorched by the explosions one after another, she was worried that if this continued, the situation would get completely out of control, and then she and the others would not have a chance to find the Abyss Crystal that knew where it was hidden that day, "How about letting Lin Weiyin go to the rescue?"
The little girl who was named suddenly rolled her eyes, does the eldest princess really regard her as an omnipotent magical girl?
Nangong Rong was about to say something when a sound similar to the crawling of insects suddenly sounded in the darkness, making several people suddenly hold their breath. You must know that in the distance, there are all kinds of explosions and gunfire, and even if an ordinary insect crawls under its nose, its movement will not be heard so clearly.
So, it can only be those half-worm and half-beast monsters made by the people of Sitnira.
Sure enough, a group of fanged and clawed monsters soon emerged from the darkness and swooped down on the already chaotic human forces, and the same thing happened in other directions, and the situation was really developing in the way Octavir feared.
"We're not going to do anything. After glancing at the bad battle situation, Nangong Rong shook his head helplessly at the eldest princess and whispered, "Because we can't do anything in this situation, unless we bring the army over to fight those monsters head-on." Let's see for a moment, if the locals fail like that, at least we'll have to figure out where the crystals are before we go. β
Of course, Nangong Rong didn't think that the locals were finished, and the Kunta, which was tearing each other with the little monsters not far from the main battlefield at the edge of the city, had not yet broken out, no matter how it looked like it was waiting for the enemy to make the first move in the battle - now that the gnomes had made a move, did Bigar plan to do nothing and continue to paddle and hit the soy sauce?
Therefore, the boy focused all his attention on the robot scorpion, and only after Bigal controlled the body and began to explode to threaten the enemy, those gnomes could use the power of the Abyss Crystal to defuse it, and then they would have the opportunity to determine where the crystal was.
Indeed, as Nangong Rong guessed, the Kunta finally stopped hiding its strength after the human ground forces fell into a crisis, and its surface suddenly bloomed with a large dark red light, forming a messy but beautiful pattern, and after the waving claws clamped the tail that Alpha 2 flung over, it slashed the tip of the opponent's tail in the piercing chainsaw.
In the previous battle between the two sides, it was difficult for the Quinta to break through the skin of the little monster's defenses, but now it hurt the enemy so easily, which made the boy feel a little surprised.
Isn't this explosive power a little too outrageous?
But no matter what, the robot scorpion has already begun its performance, shooting countless beams of energy from its back into the sky, like a large number of fireworks that are taking off into the sky. Just when Nangong Rong was puzzled by this, these beams of light suddenly refracted back in the sky, as if the beam of a flashlight had hit a mirror, and they all fell quickly towards the ground.
Then it hit the small monsters that were wreaking havoc in the rear of the human troops, causing countless locusts to be completely wiped out in this instant.
Even though the city was in ruins, it was still trembling violently at the moment of this completely unimaginable blow, and the red and green flames on the ground lit up the dark night sky as if it were day, and the end was incomparably magnificent.
No one cares about how Bigar did it, the point is that he successfully killed those monsters, although he caused some accidental injuries, he finally avoided the collapse of the army, and also eliminated a lot of the main monsters that the green-skinned little gnomes deliberately hid before waiting for the human chaos just now to send out to create a bloody case, and turned the situation on the battlefield in one fell swoop, and now everyone only needs to cheer indulgently.
Seeing this, Nangong Rong couldn't help but clench his fists hard: "Okay, I know that this guy really has a hidden hand, and that move just now is simply too handsome." I just don't know if there are any sequelae of such an outbreak, in case the Quinta doesn't have the strength to deal with the BSS-class little monster after cleaning up the miscellaneous soldiers, Wei Yin, you can find a chance to go up and help him. β
Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with the arrangement of teenagers, and after a violent outburst, they will definitely enter a period of weakness, even if it is mechanical. But what is surprising is that the dark red light on the surface of the Kunta did not disappear, but became brighter and brighter, and it was also comfortable in the face of the pressure of the little monster, and even pulled the other party backwards with a tail in the end.
It is in stark contrast to the previous disadvantage and disadvantage that was completely suppressed by the little monster.
Nangong Rong didn't think that Bigal was deliberately showing weakness and pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, so this was obviously the new strength of the Kunta, was that reinforcement really so rebellious? But it seems that there are time and other restrictions, otherwise Bigal can always turn on the enhancement mode to crush the enemy, and he can't make the troops suffer so much loss.
As a result of the Kunta's earth-shattering blow, the defeated side quickly changed from a human to a monster, and the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically. At this moment, Nangong Rong suddenly felt a chilling cold aura from the air that enveloped the city, and immediately cheered up his spirit.
"It's coming!"
Although the boy didn't explain what exactly happened, after seeing the serious expression on his face, Octavier and Lin Weiyin could also guess it, and their faces couldn't help but change sharply, and they began to look around suspiciously, trying to find out the dangerous existence.
Unfortunately, the monster-infested half of the city was still pitch black, and nothing could be seen except for the occasional indigo figure moving rapidly.
Nangong Rong and the others did not give up on this, and continued to keep an eye on Alpha No. 2 and the possible changes in the city, but they inadvertently ignored some other things.
