Chapter 24: The Grain Depot Crisis 2
Liu Xing moved his numb limbs slightly, clenched the sword and the battle intent was burning, he could have slipped away, after all, he was not a soldier, but at this moment, he was also infected by everyone's blood, and roared secretly in his heart:
"Death does not retreat."
The insects and ants swooped in fiercely, and the insects on the ground were in a mess. Liu Xing used the Wind Knife Technique, and the cold knife wind cut off the insects and ants around him one meter laterally, and it didn't take long for a circle of half-meter-high insect ant remains to be pushed up around him.
Liu Xing jumped back, jumped out of the encirclement of insects and ants, and looked around, the battle line of more than 1,000 people was basically defeated, and the dozens of fighters of the Tiger Clan were still struggling to support.
Just when everyone was desperate, more than a dozen helicopters flew out of the sky and began to shoot missiles at the insects and ants on the ground, and suddenly it was like a pot of oil falling into cold water, the rumbling sound continued, the fire soared into the sky, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning.
The morale of the soldiers, which had been low, was ignited again, and the ranks that came from behind immediately rose up, and the broken battle line was established again. Fight hard to get rid of the remaining insects and ants.
"I'm tired of Lao Tzu." The monkey sat down on the ground. Then the eagle also fell to the ground, not wanting to move a finger.
Seeing this, Liu Xing immediately ran over and protected them in front of them, preventing the remaining insects and ants from hurting them.
"Why did the helicopter attack?" The eagle said with a bitter face, he is usually a sniper/striker, and it is rare to have such a fierce and protracted battle.
"You don't look at the destructive power of missiles. The granaries were blown up, and the grain inside was gone. Captain Ma said, pointing to several warehouses that had been blown up.
Everyone was speechless, and they probably didn't realize that the insects and ants were so powerful at the first time, and they wanted to take back the granary occupied by the insects and ants. So the measures taken at the beginning were relatively modest. After all, the importance of food is self-evident now, and millions of urban people still have to eat every day. Originally, there was this grain depot, and it could last for a few months.
"Anyway, now the situation is under control, and we haven't embarrassed the Tigers. If everyone persists, there will be more and more rescue troops behind. Captain Ma said cheerfully.
"I don't know what about the other two grain depots in the city." The hound said worriedly.
"I guess it's about the same." Captain Ma sighed and said, it is impossible for this insect ant to suddenly explode in a grain depot.
However, these are not things that they should think about too much, the insects and ants have decreased a lot, and they have begun to take turns to rest, if everyone keeps fighting, their bodies will not be able to bear it.
After several bombardments by more than a dozen helicopters in the sky, many potholes appeared on the ground, and the number of insects and ants decreased sharply.
Only three or four helicopters were left in the sky to strafe the insects and ants on the ground with machine guns, and suddenly, there was a lot of buzzing in the warehouse, and thousands of flying ants flew out, and after these flying ants flew out of the warehouse, they hit the helicopter in the sky, you must know that these flying ants can be half an ordinary person's arm length, and it didn't take long for the four helicopters to be crawled with flying ants, they hit the window door of the helicopter, and many were caught in the propellers.
It didn't take long for the helicopter to fall from the sky and smash into the ground into a pile of flames.
"Damn, don't you want to be so rampant?" Liu Xing spit out dissatisfiedly.
The surrounding people inevitably complained loudly.
It's a pity that the insects and ants will not pay attention to everyone's complaints, and continue to attack the remaining granaries.
"Brothers, see you in the next life." The monkey shouted fiercely, and as soon as he struggled to get up, he was dragged up by Liu Xing and thrown into the rear.
There were several batches of helicopters coming in the sky intermittently, but unfortunately there were flying ants, and even air superiority was gone.
Just as everyone was in despair again, a noisy voice came from behind.
Liu Xing turned his head and looked, good guys, a dense crowd poured out from behind, most of them were ordinary citizens, they took simple tools, rushed towards the insects and ants, and several helicopters were in the sky to guide everyone forward.
"All the soldiers and civilians listen well, each soldier leads twenty citizens to line up, pay attention to order, and do not trample on each other." The helicopter's loudspeaker made an earth-shattering sound.
The soldiers on the front line began to give up their positions to the citizens who came later, and they quickly organized their ranks, and stipulated the discipline that each person could only fight for one minute, and then let the men behind take the top.
Liu Xing glanced at the citizens behind him, and his mood was quite moved, only to see that these people had two different expressions of fear and perseverance on their faces, and he swung a few knives to cut off the insects and ants one meter in front of him.
"Everyone line up, don't be afraid, the first place comes forward, sweep with the stick in your hand, and I will protect you by the side." Liu Xing said in a low voice.
"Yes!" At the top of the line was a strong man with a stick in his hand, looking slightly nervous.
Liu Xing patted him on the shoulder with his hand, he took a sharp breath, strode forward, and slapped the insects and ants on the ground with the wooden stick in his hand.
"Okay, you go to the back of the line and get in line to rest. 2nd place on ......"
With these citizens rushing to the rescue from the surrounding area, the battle situation began to balance, and the flying ants in the sky also launched several attacks, all of which were forced back by the pyro soldiers in the rear.
The battle was stalemate, and after an hour, the last batch of grain was finally transported away, and the order to retreat was given from above.
The helicopter began to broadcast the order to retreat, but the tens of thousands of citizens who came behind were not happy, and they rushed over, on the one hand, to support the troops in transferring food, and on the other hand, they still wanted to grab the granary occupied by the insects and ants, and there was still a lot of food in it.
Nowadays, many citizens do not have enough to eat, and they dare to face it even if it is dangerous, driven by hunger. Among these people, there are many young women, who may have screamed in fright at the sight of a cockroach, but now they are resolute and clutch their weapons, no worse than the men.
The soldiers were in a dilemma, on the one hand, they could not directly ignore the retreat of these citizens, so they could only organize everyone to attack while persuading everyone to leave early.
The battle lasted for another ten minutes, and many citizens began to waver, and these insects and ants seemed to be inexhaustible. There were many citizens who came, but there were so many insects and ants that it made people despair, and some citizens who were not in good physical condition had exhausted themselves and withdrew from the battle. The soldiers organized a slow retreat.
The grain depot has been surrounded by the engineering corps with a power grid, and the insects and ants behind it stabbed and turned into ashes when they touched the power grid. The insects and ants behind did not continue to chase and began to crawl towards the granary.
"I'm so tired." Liu Xing also sat on the ground and gasped, the high-intensity battle lasted for more than two hours, and the iron beaters couldn't stand it.
The rest of the team was inferior to him, the monkey eagle and others were also injured, and now they were lying on the ground motionless, the injury was not serious, but they were completely out of strength, and they couldn't stand up for a while, waiting for others to carry them away.
Liu Xing looked at the smoke-filled granary, sighed, and thought to himself, it seems that since the animal mutation, human beings have not completely won once, which makes him feel complicated.
Liu Xing returned to the barracks in a daze, everyone didn't even have the spirit to speak, washed up casually, and fell asleep on the bed.
