Chapter Twenty-Nine: Late at Night
The sound of rain continued, and after seeing Hai Honeysuckle and the others leave, Commander Cao Dao stood alone under the eaves, looking up at the cold rain that continued to wash down from the sky.
As the commander of this search team, no one knows better than him what kind of danger lurks in the depths of this dense forest, and what kind of crisis it is for a new recruit of the city guard who has never actually been on the battlefield.
Under the rainy night, recalling the encounter on the battlefield in the starry sky, Commander Cao Dao still couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, so many years have passed, the blood of his comrades is blooming in the starry sky like fireworks, there are stumps and rotten flesh everywhere, the hard battle armor is broken like shredded paper under the sharp big gong of the Zerg, and under the simplest and most direct violence, all the weapons on his body seem so insignificant.
The pictures of the once closest comrades-in-arms before they died, one by one reappeared in front of him, no one could understand their anger and hatred, moistened their eyes, Cao Dao had forgotten how long he hadn't been so sad.
Whether it was when he left the front line, or afterward, Cao Dao did not show a trace of strange emotions, until this moment, in the depths of the jungle hundreds of kilometers away from the star capital, everything that had been there was little by little, and irrepressible moths broke into Cao Dao's thoughts like a flame.
Looking at the news he had just received, Cao Dao frowned, there were already many teams that had encountered small groups of Zerg, and the situation was not optimistic.
Although the other detachments that arrived in time worked together to deal with the Zerg encountered, they suffered heavy casualties.
A group of recruits who had no actual combat experience with the Zerg were no opponents of the Zerg at all, and the battle loss ratio reached ten to one, and even the commanders of each team were killed several times.
Looking at the camp where the lights had been turned off and he was asleep, Cao Dao felt a huge pressure and responsibility, and even began to wonder if it was a good idea to separate the troops that were not strong in combat.
Looking at the heavy rain in the sky, Commander-in-Chief Cao Dao was uncertain.
Sleepless tonight, a rustling rain that induces you to sleep, a busy and tired day, and many people have not yet fallen asleep except for the sergeants who are on guard.
Chen Chao was chatting with his girlfriend with the communicator he secretly carried on his body, constantly comforting her, telling her not to worry, she would definitely return safely, and she would not rush forward stupidly like an iron-headed baby.
Finally comforting his girlfriend, Chen Chao looked up at his sleeping comrades-in-arms around him, stood up, patted the ash on his buttocks, and slept in his battle armor, which was really shocking.
I smoked a cigarette out of nowhere, walked out of the wooden house, and smoked alone, unspeakably lonely.
I don't know what's going on in my mind.
Chen Chao, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, was comfortably swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, opened his eyes, and was immediately startled, a middle-aged veteran with a face full of vicissitudes was looking at him with a smug face.
"How? Good boy, good skills! The veteran looked at Chen Chao, who was scared to pee, with high interest.
Chen Chao's heart was trampled by thousands of grass and mud horses, and he was unlucky in the secret way, and said in his mouth: "Lieutenant Sika, the little one is wrong"
Lieutenant Sika, who had just returned from Commander-in-Chief Cao Dao, was patrolling the camp around when he happened to see Chen Chao carrying prohibited items and spitting clouds.
"Bring me one, I haven't touched this thing for a long time" Lieutenant Sika saw Chen Chao, who was like a mouse seeing a cat, patted his head, and said.
Chen Chao, who was trembling, looked at Lieutenant Sika, who had eaten himself and was smiling, smiled bitterly in his heart, and handed over a cigarette.
Lieutenant Sika took the cigarette and flicked his metal-wrapped fingers to the cigarette end, and wisps of green smoke floated from the cigarette end, indescribably cool and handsome.
Looking at Chen Chao, who was shocked and admired, Lieutenant Sika was also a little proud, "Do you want to learn?" It's very simple, when you reach the high level of the general, it will be natural. ”
Chen Chao was speechless.
Lieutenant Sika continued: "This is the supreme way to pick up girls, I think I was ...... when I was young."
"I haven't learned it." Under Chen Chao's expectant gaze, Lieutenant Sika admitted it very honestly and unceremoniously.
Looking at Chen Chao, Lieutenant Sika sighed and said, "You are still young, everything is still possible." ”
Chen Chao looked at Lieutenant Sika, who had been chatting with him, as if he had never known him, was this still the Sika instructor who was usually extremely strict in training!
"Don't die, after smoking this cigarette, go back to sleep!" Lieutenant Sika left with a smile, leaving Chen Chao in the air.
The rain was so heavy that it was hazy.
With human eyesight, in this dark night, nothing can be seen clearly, staring at the screen of the military night vision life detector, one of the sentries looking at the dark jungle, and the other looking at the screen.
Any wind and grass frightened them, and they chatted with each other all over the world, dispelling the fear from the night.
Yun Xiaotian didn't fall asleep, lying on the floor, the battle armor has the simplest constant temperature system, and under non-extreme conditions, it can be kept at a suitable temperature for the human body.
Xu was too tired, Haishan was already asleep, and through the crystal mask on his face, he still made bursts of snoring, and Yun Xiaotian shook his head helplessly.
The snoring of Haishan came at an inopportune time, Yun Xiaotian was lying on the ground, eavesdropping on the outside of the wooden house, chatting about Tianhai Honeysuckle and Ouyang Banxia.
They spoke in a very small voice, afraid of waking up Haishan and Yun Xiaotian in the house, of course, it was actually Yun Xiaotian who was pretending to be asleep.
Yun Xiaotian, who couldn't hear it clearly, couldn't hear anything clearly under the interference of the snoring of the sea and mountains.
The fire of gossip in Yun Xiaotian's heart was blazing, but he couldn't be satisfied, and he couldn't wait to immediately block Haishan's mouth and nose, and fiercely looked at Haishan who was sleeping peacefully like a dead pig.
However, Yun Xiaotian confirmed at least one thing, that is, Ouyang Banxia and Hai Honeysuckle were really familiar, but they didn't show much when they were together.
There must be a demon when things go wrong, it seems that there is indeed something unclear between them, and what Haishan said may not be groundless.
Whether it was the sound of rain outside the house or the sound of snoring inside the house, Yun Xiaotian had nothing to do, he couldn't run to the corner of the wall to eavesdrop, with the vigilance of Hai Honeysuckle and Ouyang Banxia, as long as he made the slightest move, he would inevitably be discovered.
Yun Xiaotian, who was itching in his heart, had no choice but to empty his mind and fall asleep, after all, after a busy day, everyone was already very tired, and of course Yun Xiaotian was the same.
Although it is late at night, there are always some nocturnal walkers who do not know where to return, or do not know where to go.
But hundreds of kilometers away in the Blood Willow Hill, everything is completely different, the camps everywhere, the checkpoints everywhere, the entire Blood Willow Hill is densely spread, like chess pieces, hunting the prey trapped in it.
Even the trapped beasts will still fight, and it is still unknown who the trapped beasts are.
For the alien beasts and birds of prey in the Blood Willow Hill, the serious and dangerous atmosphere of the past few days has made them very uncomfortable, and many of them have died inexplicably in various places in the dense forest.
The current Blood Willow Hill is no longer the Blood Willow Hill they are familiar with, and many of them have fled around the Blood Willow Hill, but most of them are hiding in their nests and cannot be hidden.
For all the creatures in the Blood Willow Hill, the sooner this riot ends, the better.
The fear of life and death pervades all living beings.
