Chapter 124: Night Demon Invasion
Zhang Zhao shined his watch with a flashlight, it was already two o'clock in the evening, since the beginning of autumn, the temperature difference in the second half of the night dropped sharply, if it wasn't for a sleeping bag wrapped in it, this rooftop really couldn't stay.
Guo Rong beside him was confused and asked: "These night demons can really toss, what time is it, without their attack, we will be exhausted first." Since he came to the base, he has nothing to do every day, and he sleeps soundly, and gradually feels that his body is also inert.
"Why don't you go and rest, and I'll beat the drum if there's a situation?" Li Zijing has been sitting next to him, holding the sniper rifle in his hand. The drums were found by the choir of a nearby village, and they were not large, but in this quiet night, they were enough to be heard in every corner of the base.
The Daredevil didn't strike tonight, although the airport was more than twenty kilometers away, and it had been seven or eight hours at night, and if he had come early in the morning, he would have arrived. Donna curled up in a corner, wrapped in a quilt, and didn't fall asleep. These people on the roof, Zhang Zhao, Donna, Li Zijing, Guo Rong, Lao Wang and Lu Yang, all have firearms, ready to provide long-distance support to the people below when the night demon attacks.
"Wait, it's still a few hours before dawn, and if they don't show up by four o'clock, they'll survive tonight." After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, he picked up Donna's infrared night vision goggles beside him and observed the buildings outside the base. After looking around, he suddenly pulled Guo Rong excitedly and said, "Here, here." ”
Not only Guo Rong, but everyone on the rooftop was suddenly tensed up by this shout. Li Zijing immediately held a sniper rifle and quickly looked into the distance, just outside the direction of the main entrance of the base, about two kilometers away, there seemed to be several strange figures shaking.
The night demons came, like wild wolves looking for prey, their bodies were very agile, they could use their hands and feet together, and they could fly up and down walls. In the distance is a building, almost occupied by the Daredevil, downstairs, with the windows, including the roof, the Daredevil is nimble like a cat. There was a slightly larger night demon standing on the roof, sometimes with its neck tilted, sometimes with its head down and sniffing. The night demon climbed up from the window downstairs, crawled at the feet of the big night demon, and then rubbed his mouth and nose against each other.
The screams were heard in the wind in the dark night, and a man could be seen being dragged out by a night demon grabbing his ankle. As if showing off his trophy, the night demon stepped on the tortured half-dead man, and then four or five night demons swarmed up, tore at the man's body, and feasted on it.
Such a tragic situation happened more than once, and those independent survivors outside the base, even Li Zijing, had never seen them. During the day, they hide in a safe place, and many people only choose to come out at night to look for food, but they don't expect to be caught by the night demon who walks in darkness tonight.
In just ten minutes, Li Zijing saw seven or eight similar times happening, the night demons were either three or five in a row, or seven or eight in a row, but between them, there would always be one or two running back and forth. There are as many as twenty of them that can be seen so far, not counting those that have only appeared once. Most of the night demons look the same, and they can't tell who is who, and the only thing they can tell is probably the shape of their faces.
Li Zijing got up and wanted to beat the drum, but was stopped by Zhang Zhao: "Don't, don't knock, Brother Li, you see, the night demon doesn't seem to be heading towards us yet." "Why did the night demon come so late, everyone already knows at this time, although they followed the traces left by Zhang Zhao and them to find this place last night, but the wisdom of the night demon can't catch up with humans after all. Along the way, he killed people and had to eat, which delayed a lot of effort.
Lao Wang couldn't see the situation, just looking at Li Zijing's performance, he could imagine what was happening, he secretly prayed that it was best for the night demons to stay outside for a little longer, and when it was dawn, they would definitely retreat on their own.
You can't beat the drum, the night demon has a super strong sense of hearing, and as long as you beat the drum, you will definitely attack here with all your might. Zhang Zhao quickly got out of his sleeping bag, "I'll go and tell them one by one, as long as the night demon has signs of coming here, it's not too late to beat the drum." ”
Zhang Zhao hurriedly went downstairs, and as soon as he reached the third floor, he met Langchen at the staircase. He sat on the ground with the weapon box standing next to him, and seeing Zhang Zhao's nervous expression, he quickly asked, "Here?" ”
"Came, but didn't attack here right away, there are too many survivors outside, and the night demon is still hunting outside." Zhang Zhaodao.
Zhang Zhao trotted all the way, the second floor, the first floor, and told all the floor leaders to get ready. Last night, the Daredevil attacked, and although only two of them came, they were able to kill all the poultry on the farm quietly. No one can guarantee that if they slackened a little, they would be like the fowls, waiting for danger to approach without noticing.
Basically, the fighters in charge of the vigil did not dare to close their eyes, and some of them tried their best to keep themselves awake. Now when I heard Zhang Zhao say that the night demon was coming, everyone's hearts rose to their throats. Except for Zhang Zhao and a few of them, no one really came into contact with them, facing the night demons, but from the tragic situation of the farm alone, it can be analyzed that these night demons are more ferocious than any kind of creature known by humans.
If you want to say that you are afraid, everyone is afraid, even Langchen is afraid. It's just that human beings huddle together to survive is the only way to defend against these creatures. No one can survive as long as they get out of this circle. Some people secretly wanted to slip away, but looking at the dark night, they suddenly turned back. In the darkness of the night, the heart-rending screams were getting closer and closer.
After Zhang Zhao replied on the third floor, he happened to meet Li Yan, who was wearing a combat uniform and was slightly haggard. If it was before, Zhang Zhao might have just said a few words and left, but now it is different, Li Yan didn't feel anything, and Zhang Zhao himself felt a little uncomfortable.
"You hurry up and stay with Song Qing and them, don't be reckless, don't come out!" Zhang Zhao also knew Li Yan a little bit, if there was a battle, she would definitely not be able to hold her breath.
Looking at her suddenly haggard appearance, Zhang Zhao didn't feel good in his heart, but he was not a tender person. Seeing that Li Yan looked like she was about to request, Zhang Zhao pinched her face and smiled: "It's going to be fine, after this while, I'll take care of the matter between you and me, and be obedient." ”
Li Yan frowned and said happily: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
Zhang Zhao returned to the rooftop, Li Zijing and Donna had their guns loaded, and they waited for the night demon to approach and catch them off guard. But the night demon stayed outside the base for a long time, like a cat cleaning up the rats in the house, which made Zhang Zhao and them anxious. The most difficult thing is this period of time, knowing that there will be a bloody battle, but the opponent is slow to make a move, which wears out people's will to fight.
There are no communication tools, and every guard has to act according to the original plan, but if it is really contacted, it is more likely that it will be necessary to play on the spot and change tactics.
Finally, the first Daredevil climbed the fence at the entrance to the base, and could be clearly seen through the infrared telescope, using both hands and feet, to climb the three-meter-high net without difficulty. Immediately after, one, two...... More Dareddemons sometimes bowed their heads, sometimes tilted their heads and mouth-to-mouth, and entered the base one after another. Of course, the night demons don't all come in from one place, as long as there are traces of human beings, they may be found with the residual smell that has not dissipated.
On the walls of the buildings on both sides of the main road at the base, two meters above the ground, many glass wine bottles were tied and filled with gasoline. The Daredevil jumped nimbly and walked a bit like monkeys, and when they approached the building where the people were hiding, suddenly several cars downstairs turned on their purple lights at the same time.
A circle of purple light flashed around the building, and the approaching night demons suddenly jumped to their feet as if they had stepped on steel nails. The pale skin, as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, slowly corroded, and this scene, like a vampire in a movie being hit by the sun, just didn't happen so quickly. White skin, white smoke rising, and the night demon screamed miserably.
"Hit!" Li Zijing gave an order, and the sniper rifle aimed at a gasoline bottle on the underground wall and fired a shot, and suddenly a dazzling fire broke out on the wall, and the ignited gasoline bottle poured down, like a rain of fire, lighting the night demons who were too close.
"It's working!" The most gratifying thing is that the purple light has harmed the night demons, although it can't destroy them immediately, at least it can effectively hurt them.
There were a few night demons who were on fire, still rushing towards the convoy frantically, and Donna and Lao Wang shot again and again, killing those night demons who tried to charge the convoy on the road. The first wave of attack, when the night demons were unprepared, suddenly launched a counterattack, which caught them off guard, and in a while, they lost eight or nine night demons.
The night demons, who were out of range of the violet lights, were wandering impatiently, roaring towards the convoy. They had no eyes, no sense of hearing or smell, and after being ambushed, none of the other night demons went any further.
If the night demon does not attack, it is impossible for the human camp to attack, it is too dangerous, and it may lead to the annihilation of the whole army. More people hope that it will be a stalemate, and when it is dawn, the night demon will finally fade.
An even more bizarre thing happened, those night demons who didn't dare to approach suddenly rubbed a few more mouth-to-mouths, and then slowly retreated step by step, and it only took four or five minutes for them all to disappear into the night.
"How's it going, where did they go?" There was no trace of the night demon in the sniper scope, Li Zijing asked.
Zhang Zhao handed the infrared telescope to Donna, "Team Tang, look at it, they all seem to have evacuated." ”
Donna took the binoculars and looked around carefully, but found not a single night demon. I thought there would be a fierce bloody battle, but I didn't expect the night demon to retreat after suffering a loss. There were already people downstairs cheering, cheering for this victory.
From the attack to the end, less than twenty minutes, all this, even Li Zijing couldn't believe it. But just as everyone relaxed a little, Lang Chen came up, his voice was cold, it was the kind of calm and emotionless cold, "The night demons will not retreat so easily, their leader has not appeared, as long as the leader does not die, the rest of the night demons will not retreat unless they wait until dawn." ”
