Chapter 55: Advancing to the Heights
"Report to the battalion commander! The companies and squads have already consumed more than a third of their ammunition, do they continue to shoot? Please instruct! More than ten miles away from the location of the insect swarm, next to the weapons of war that kept firing, a herald stood straight in front of the battalion commander, and a loud roar pierced the roar of artillery fire.
"Stop shooting!" The battalion commander raised his hand, and in less than half a minute, all the artillery was silent, only the red barrel and the surrounding smoke still told the fierce battle just now, he pinched out the cigarette and said, "Those who can be killed must be dead, and those who can't be killed should have escaped, but we don't need to play with them, those monsters will clean up them, now ask your superiors and ask for the next instructions!" β
"Yes!"
...
The Dawn team had fallen into a little chaos on their side, before Luo Wei was dragged into the ground by the bugs, he had already thrown Ling out, the girl sat on the yellow earth in a daze, after the initial stunned, she ran over crying, and desperately dug the ground with her hands in the place where Luo Wei disappeared, digging her hands full of blood, as if she wanted to dig Luo Wu out.
"!" Ghost Hand burst into a foul mouth, people who have fought with bugs know what it means to be dragged into the ground, there is darkness and no light, lack of air, and humans have no digging ability, it is completely the home of bugs, as soon as they are dragged in, it basically becomes food for the corpses of bugs, and there is almost no chance of survival, Ghost Hand looked at the countless gradually rising bumps around him, and shouted, "He's dead!" Let's go! Those people's shells blew up all the bugs! β
"Don't go! I'm not going! He's not going to die! Ling cried miserably, her hands were already dripping with blood, but she was still digging despite the pain, she didn't believe that Luo Wei died like this, she definitely didn't believe it!
Erik's eyes already had some more warm liquid, he gritted his teeth and picked up Ling, desperately keeping up with the footsteps of the ghost hand, letting Ling cry in his arms, letting Ling bite desperately in his hand without frowning, Luo Wei was dragged to the ground by the insects in order to kick him away, and Luo Wei was most concerned about Ling's safety before, so he must protect Ling for Luo Wei now, and it's not too late to shed tears or something after the war!
"Let's go! What to see! Can't be saved! Lu Ren kicked Arnold's ass in a daze, and roared angrily, "If you don't go, all the bugs will come out!" β
"No... Look at thatβ" Arnold gestured blankly to the ground where Luo Wei had disappeared.
Lu Renshun looked over, and saw that the pit that Luo Wei had been dragged into on the ground was expanding rapidly, and a large amount of dirt and gravel were leaking down, forming a whirlpool, and a hideous roar could be faintly heard.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a cloaked figure broke through the ground and rushed out, bringing up the yellow sand in the sky, and his right leg was still stuck with a broken arthrop of insects, and he kept bleeding. And what is even more shocking is that Luo Wei also grabbed a worm in his hand and dragged this creature that can be called the king of the underground out of the ground.
It was a bug over three meters long and one meter tall, with a dark brown protective shell, numbing mouthparts, four pairs of insect feet for walking, and a pair of unusually thick arthropods that looked like they were used to dig holes.
This is the most common sapper insect in the swarm, usually responsible for digging tunnels underground, carrying mud and rock, so it has great strength, and also acts as a sentinel, the most common means of attack is to suddenly break through the ground, use that pair of thick arthropods to destroy the prey's ability to move, and then drag it into the ground to strangle.
But at this time, this underground killer was extremely miserable, the pair of arthrops inserted into Luo Wei's right leg had been broken, half of the carapace on his back had been torn off, revealing the tattered membrane insect wings inside, and a compound eye had been blown out, his entire head was crooked, and a piercing scream came out of his mouthparts.
Luo Wei dragged the insect out of the ground, the penetrating wound on the leg did not seem to affect the movement at all, the eyes under the cloak exuded a scarlet fierce light, he smashed the mouthparts of the sapper insect with one punch, so that it could no longer make a sound, and then his right hand was clawed, and five fingers pierced the head of the sapper insect like a spear, tearing off the entire insect head directly.
The headless corpse of the sapper bug struggled on the ground for a while, disgusting bodily fluids flowing out of the fracture like pus, and the four pairs of worm feet twitched incessantly, but soon tumbled and fell to the ground, without moving.
After killing the sapper bug, Luo Wei just pulled out the joint leg inserted in his leg, and Ling, who was carried by Eric, struggled to jump down at this time, crying and threw himself into Luo Wei's arms.
Luo Wei rarely didn't dislike tears, which represent weakness, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, keep walking!" β
"Oh my God, my hands tore bugs! You're a monster! Eric jumped up excitedly and hammered Luo Wei's shoulder, and laughed heartily, "I owe you my life!" β
"Find a chance to pay me back." After Luo Wei finished speaking, he picked up Ling and rushed to the eastern highlands.
The ghost hand squinted when he saw this scene, he thought that if he was accidentally dragged into the ground by the sapper bug, he would not be able to die, but he definitely didn't break free so easily, let alone dragged the huge sapper bug out with his bare hands and tore it up, this Luo Wei is really a sniper?!
As the crowd marched, more and more bugs had already been awakened by the previous bombardment, burrowed out of the ground, and launched an attack on the group of intruders with a roar.
Without Luo Wei's reminder, Ling cleverly turned on the vibration perception, felt the movement coming from the surroundings, and at the same time screened the vibration from the ground from the infinite vibration sources, once a vibration source approached everyone's feet, she would use telepathy to remind everyone as soon as possible, such an early warning greatly weakened the threat from the underground, so that everyone could move forward without danger.
And in hand-to-hand combat, the ghost hand has the advantage, he didn't even open the transformation ability in the berserker bloodline, just by virtue of his super physical strength, he killed a bloody path in the insect swarm, the two CCC-level night knives are not at all the carapace of this low-level insect can resist, under the sword light and sword shadow must be flesh and blood, and his whole person can also be killed, if it wasn't for Lu Ren's timely reminder, he might not even want to go up the eastern highlands, and directly kill the entrance of the insect hive.
The Eastern Highlands are a raised mountain, all of which are hard rocks that few insects can dig up, so as long as you rush up the spiral path of the highlands, you are basically protected from the threat from the ground.
Ling's physical strength is not unlimited, and only the lowest level of psionic energy enhancement has been carried out, plus there are too many vibration sources around, thousands, everywhere, within a few minutes she has already broken out in a cold sweat, the early warning of psionic energy may not last long, once her physical strength is exhausted, everyone will become "blind", and they will no longer be able to detect the movement underground, so whether it is for safety considerations or mission considerations, now they must rush to the high ground as soon as possible!
However, things did not go as smoothly as everyone imagined, just as the ghost hand acting as a pioneer approached the high ground, the ground of more than two hundred square meters under his feet suddenly rose rapidly, accompanied by a roar that was enough to pierce the eardrums, and a huge black shadow that covered the sky and the sun rushed out of the ground.
"Be careful!! It's a tank bug!! β
