Chapter 20: Confluence
"Smoke bombs." With a low shout, several recruits threw smoke bombs in their hands behind the huge rocks and ice, and after the violent explosion, a large white-gray smoke appeared in the clearing in front of the rocks. These fumes include metal powders, as well as thermal insulation and nano-silencing materials. It is specially used for motorized infantry assaults.
However, due to the cold and strong winds on Pluto, smoke bombs soon filled a large area. The problem is more serious than you think. When you don't know what kind of detection instrument the other party is using, using smoke bombs like this to let the recruits rush out is no different from gambling, and the few recruits who rushed out are all smoke bombs in their hands, and they have to expand the smoke area to more than 200 meters before they can carry out the follow-up continuation.
Almost as soon as the smoke formed, the undead began to fight back. Such a scene reminded Mo Ran of the old-fashioned positional warfare that had long been eliminated by textbooks. Although old-fashioned, it is the most practical tactic now.
When the second group of recruits rushed out, Yili waved his hand and let the Pyro who followed him rush forward. The advantage of the Agni Bullet is that the chemicals inside are very flammable and extremely sticky. Better adapted to complex battlefield environments than flamethrowers.
Mo Ran and the others are this group of recruits who rushed out. Holding the launcher in his hand, he felt the tinkling of the visor, which was some large light metal particles in the smoke grenade, which could effectively protect against the laser gun on the opposite side. Because of the cold, they condensed together.
From time to time, screams and cries for help could be heard, and the situation was far more dire than they had imagined. The undead's surveillance system does not appear to be affected by smoke grenades.
"Damn." Obviously, the undead didn't shoot in the first place in order to lure them out and then catch them all. Mo Ran fell directly to the ground, and lasers flew behind him.
"Rogge, Kill Temple. How are you guys? Mo Ran asked aloud, crying and shouting all around, and some of the recruits were still trying to plug the holes that pierced through the training armor, but in vain. Without much struggle, they lay on the ground, and the undead still replenished their guns.
"Okay." Rogge replied loudly, his position was not very far from Mo Ran. Using the positioning system in the training armor, Mo Ran found the Killing Hall and Rogge not far away.
"These damn things, they're playing yin." Rogge was very angry, but at this time, their group of recruits with grenadiers could only be suppressed by the other party. By the time the smoke grenades clear, their situation will be even worse. Even throwing smoke bombs only delays the time of death.
"If it doesn't work, rush out." A recruit said hatefully that he was arranged in the back, ready to throw smoke grenades to cover the actions of Major Ye Feng and others after the fire bombs burned.
Just as Yi Li was about to give the order, the violent explosion sound characteristic of the exploding arrow gun was faintly heard from the position of the undead in the distance. "What are you little cubs still doing?" Major Ye Feng's roar came from the helmet.
Hearing Major Ye Feng's words, Yili knew that Major Ye Feng had arrived with the veterans, although it was later than planned, but at least he came. After Mo Ran heard the sound of explosions in the position of the undead, he beckoned the Killing Hall and Rogge to rush forward together. Get back? That's impossible, and it's likely to be brought down by a cold shot from behind in the next moment.
So Mo Ran rushed forward with a few recruits, and when he arrived at the approximate position, he threw the flame bomb in his hand, and the whole process took less than half a minute.
After a while, there was a rising fire from the undead's position, and the red fierce fire licked the undead inside. If such a thing happened to human beings, it must be a very terrible thing, and being burned by fire is one of the most painful ways to die.
A faint, shrill howl echoed over the undead's position, as if something was stuck in the throat, and it felt like it was trying to make a sound but couldn't shout.
Mo Ran stood up and looked at the figures of the undead struggling in the flames in the distance, just like an abstract painting, the figures of the undead in the flames were twisted and weird.
On the other side of the undead position, after Major Ye Feng and other veterans saw that the undead position had been engulfed in flames, they walked over with the veterans. Yili also came with the rest of the recruits.
"What, what are you looking at?" Rog walked over to Moran and found him staring blankly at the undead burning and melting in the flames in the distance.
Shaking his head, it was a strange feeling, and it suddenly occurred to Mo Ran that if he didn't do this, the blood of all of them would flow in this land that didn't belong to them. "Nothing." Mo Ran said with a little pale.
Even the undead knew they had already died once. But in the face of the figure in the flames, his heart was still not at peace.
"How's the casualty?" Major Ye Feng asked in a low voice. They were attacked by a small group of poachers on their way, later than planned. Otherwise, with their attacks on the side, the losses of the recruits would not be so great.
"Five dead, ...... wounded" Yili looked around and said simply. Those wounded recruits have little chance of surviving in such a situation. Unless they are sent to the starship immediately, which is impossible. "Two-fifths of the loss." Yili directly said such a result.
"The monitoring equipment of the undead is more advanced than ours." For such a result, Ye Feng was also uncomfortable in his heart, he had already received a report that Sergeant Wu De had been killed in battle, and he was killed with a group of poachers.
In addition to Wu De, less than half of the twenty-five sergeant majors are now left. As for the fifteen team leaders and deputy team leaders, they have also lost a lot.
Fighting in the alien domain itself does not have many geographical advantages, and with the advanced weapons of the undead, their original plan is more difficult to achieve than imagined.
After sorting out the recruits, Major Ye Feng looked at the undead position that was still burning in the distance. "Let's go down together in a moment!" Major Ye Feng originally wanted to let them retreat after taking cover, but now it seems that such an idea is not appropriate. If they are left here, the undead will soon come and surround them.
And going down together, although it is a little dangerous, but at least it will not be a desperate situation.
Yili looked at the dozen or so recruits around him, and now there were only these few people left. Including the veterans behind Major Ye Feng, the total number was only thirty-five or six people.
The recruits naturally had no objections, after all, Major Ye Feng's command was the highest here, and it was not for them to be sent to death.
"It would be dangerous if it went on like this! It was very windy in the valley. Yili was a little worried.
"We've already thought about that, so we don't have to worry about it." Major Ye Feng said with a smile, in fact, if it goes on like this, he himself is bottomless. However, even if he was on a mission to die, he had to maintain an optimistic attitude and not let these recruits see it, and as for the veterans, they knew his worries.
It didn't take long for Major Chekov to arrive with dozens of his soldiers. Now that the personnel had expired, Ye Feng led everyone to move towards the edge of the Mode Valley.
On the other side, in the underground corridor of the research institute, Major Edward looked at the destroyed research institute, and he didn't know what he was thinking. There were traces of burning everywhere, and the fire that was supposed to be very fierce was instantly suppressed and then extinguished the next moment the door opened. A lot of the materials were half-burned, and the handwriting on them was blurred.
There was blood everywhere throughout the underground research institute, but there was not a single corpse. Apparently the undead took their bodies with them. As for what to do, Edward knew.
"Major, come and take a look here." An Allied recruit searches to find a half-open door, the lights inside flickering. Illuminated by the light on their helmets, it was eerie inside.
It's a culture room, but it's not animals or plants or anything, it's weird creatures. Among them was the six-armed psychic ape they had seen before on Xudra. Of course, such a name is the customary name of the Celestial Empire.
Most of it had been cultivated in the petri dish, but the ugly appearance and sharp claws were not what it had been.
There are many cylindrical glass petri dishes next to them, but inside are strange humans. The reason why they can still be called human is because they can still see human beings on their bodies. For example, the torso of a human, the limbs of an ape, the upper body of a woman, the lower body of a fish, etc.
"It seems to be the same people who disappeared before." An allied veteran looked at the name under the petri dish and whispered, what a name like Kotaro can only be found in the Red Sun Nation.
Major Edward immediately took two steps forward, then dragged the veteran away. "All the research here is classified, so it's normal to see anything. This is for the optimization of human genes. ”
With such a title, the veterans don't know what to say.
Yes, in order to evolve genes in a better direction. Some of the life-prolonging surgeries that only the wealthy can now enjoy come from this institute.
"What you see today is classified. Now that the research institute has been destroyed, this place will be destroyed and will not be left to the undead. Major Edward said in a deep voice. While letting a few veterans go around and plant high explosives.
Human beings must optimize their genes in a short period of time in order to have better combat effectiveness and voice in the face of alien creatures.
The right is not given by others, but earned by one's own hard work, and this Major Edward understands, and these veterans understand. They are in this position because they put in more effort than others, and others give them. Otherwise, they are not as good as a farmer's contribution to society.
