Chapter 18: Accidental Discovery
Two J-10As had already swept over the city one step ahead of them, and a semi-buried twin-barreled 23mm cannon on board sporadically cleared several tentacle monsters floating in the air like octopuses. The appearance of the www.biquge.info fighter dispels the worries of the helicopter pilots, and as long as they have air supremacy, they have no scruples.
In the process of sliding, Lu Yu saw a large piece of purple flesh in the ruins of the collapsed building, and he closed his eyes, it must be an illusion caused by lack of sleep.
When Lu Yu just reached the ground, "Bang! A loud bang rang in his ears, and he quickly jumped to the side, "We've been ambushed by bugs!" There was only one thought in his mind at the moment, even though not long ago he had thought that bugs had no brains.
Through the dust that gradually dissipated, Lu Yu saw a soldier in the combat uniform of the Special Landing Brigade lying on his back under the rope.
"A guy who doesn't know how to learn." Lu Yu couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, there was no doubt that this was a soldier in his class, but he couldn't even remember the other party's name. The infantrymen who were temporarily drawn from other motorized infantry divisions were only trained in abseiling when the recruits entered the barracks, and did not simulate a single absolutes in a real battlefield state.
"The more the battle is fought, the weaker the soldiers become." Lu Yu and a other soldier tied their fallen comrades to ropes, and the co-pilot of the helicopter would pull him up if they could get ahead of the insects tearing the body apart.
"Routine check!" Lu Yu commanded in a low voice, he didn't want similar stupid mistakes to happen in his team again.
The remaining eight soldiers immediately checked their water bottles, bayonets, night vision devices, grenades, bullets and guns. The helicopter dropped a supply box to each team, which contained enough ammunition for them to consume until dawn, when the war had just begun, everyone didn't think there was anything unusual about it, but Lu Yu, who had carried out a mission, knew that with the passage of the war and the destruction of the arsenal, the materials would become more and more scarce, and the high-level was already planning to save ammunition, and this operation was able to supply unlimited ammunition for the first time, which made him feel at ease and have a deep worry at the same time.
"OMG! What is that?! An irrepressible shout came from not far away, Lu Yu just wanted to scold, but found that it was not his own class, so he couldn't help but give up, but then he was attracted to his attention.
A charred oval-shaped object the size of a safe poked out of the messy ruins, slanting as if protruding from the rocks of the cliff, and a finger-thick steel bar scurried out of the middle of the object. The dark green viscous liquid stuck to the steel bar, drip by drop down the steel bar, dripping on the ground with a slight clattering sound.
The slightly corrosive liquid, Lu Yu thought, and he saw the team of the soldier who made the sound spread out in a straggler formation and moved closer to the strange liquid.
"There shouldn't be any danger, squad leader." A small soldier followed closely behind Lu Yu and said. Lu Yu frowned, he was a little unaccustomed to this correct title.
"Let everyone gather first, in case there are any bugs that miss the order, so as not to be broken by each one." Lu Yu said to the strange soldier, he saw the squad leader in front of him gesture with a thumbs up, safe, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
That's it! Volatile suddenness! A crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the charred black object that looked like a stone, and a long white tooth like ivory pierced the surface and popped out.
The uneasiness that Lu Yu had been hovering in his heart was finally verified, not only him, but almost everyone who saw this scene realized a problem, this is an egg! What's worse is that the contents are still alive!
The fear of the unknown invaded all the soldiers around it in an instant, but the speed at which the eggshell broke was too fast, and just as everyone had just reacted, a beetle-like monster with four bony legs and huge green blisters jumped out of the eggshell in an instant, and the steel bars that ran through its head were pinched off by the two extremely sharp serrations on its mouthparts, and it quickly crawled in the opposite direction of the fan-shaped encirclement with half of the steel bars inserted in its body.
"Fire!" As soon as the infantry squad leader who surrounded the monster wanted to escape, he immediately gave the order to open fire.
The crisp sound of "clanging" instantly sounded on a pile of ruins, even if there were no tracer bullets in the magazine, a long series of fluorescent light spots could be seen splashing everywhere in the dark night, and the rest of the team in the distance did not know what was happening here, and immediately established a defensive line on the spot and vigilantly watched the movements around them.
The monster was hit by multiple bullets in quick succession, and it let out a series of eerie cries that resembled a baby's cry, and it jumped around to dodge. The soldiers in Lu Yu's class wanted to step forward but were stopped by him, he frowned tightly and stared at the monster that he didn't live long, the green blisters on its body had been burst many times, but its jumping nature did not decrease at all.
"Just stand and watch, the most taboo on the battlefield is to take credit from others." Lu Yu found an excuse to block the soldiers back.
The infantry squad leader pressed down the headset on his helmet and connected to the company's channel, and he didn't care if anyone was in the channel, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother opposite, help block the bugs back!" ”
A squad on the opposite side didn't know whether they heard his voice or saw the insects that were rushing towards them, and in an instant, several 05-type ** spit out a dense buzzing sound similar to the fluttering wings of a swarm, and suddenly hundreds of micro-sound bombs were constructed at subsonic speed into a huge net with no dead ends and fell towards the insects.
The bug's reaction was unusually flexible, and as soon as the opposite barrel was lifted in its barely imperceptible compound eye, which was hidden above its mouthparts, the two strong hind legs immediately stopped the cyst's body quickly, and instead rushed towards the infantry squad that was chasing behind it.
One of the bug's hind legs had been neatly shaved off by the snort, but it had jumped up before that.
Of course, the squad leader of the infantry squad would not let go of this excellent opportunity, he drew his pistol and fired at the volley of insects like a storm, and he clearly saw that the mini head of the insects, which was almost occupied by two sawtooth, was instantly torn to pieces by the powerful kinetic energy.
"The danger is lifted." The squad leader said in the channel with a slight smile, and the good start made him have a lot more confidence in tonight's task.
"Hell!" Lu Yu only heard such an exclamation from the headset, and then he saw that the decapitated insect suddenly fell into the infantry group.
"Bang!" A heavy muffled sound hit everyone's hearts like a stone, the green water bubbles on the insect's body exploded in an instant, and the strange green liquid and smoke immediately enveloped the entire team, and Lu Yu didn't have time to speak, and the soldier next to him fell to the ground.
The smoke cleared, and there was no one left standing in the place where the infantry squad had been, not even a single intact white skeleton could be seen. The green solution dissolved everything like strong sulfuric acid, and even the iron plates inside the body armor were corroded into holes.
A squad of soldiers, a full ten people, disappeared into thin air, leaving behind only a miserable green juice and broken copper and iron twisted to the point that it was impossible to see the shape.
"Squad leader!" The soldier who was pressed down by Lu Yu violently removed the steel helmet on Lu Yu's head, and shot it out with the butt of a gun.
From time to time, the helmet spilled a drop of green liquid, which fell to the ground with a sneering and corrosive sound.
Lu Yu touched the top of his head with palpitations, and he exclaimed in his heart.
Cameras on reconnaissance planes and helicopters hovering over the city kept transmitting the images to the commanders of the temporary command post on the river beach, and the sudden unexpected situation made them hectic for a while, reporting the discovery of new aliens, studying solutions, discussing whether to send reinforcements, and all kinds of discussions were intertwined, and it seemed that this place was more lively than on the battlefield.
In the end, in order to prevent the recurrence of a similar situation, the landing company composed of various formations temporarily received the latest updated order from the command post, canceling the original order of free movement, and replacing it with each squad being responsible for an area and accepting the direct command of the command post with real-time monitoring. In addition, a helicopter carrying 10 explosion-proof shields made of high-strength alloys has taken off, and each squad will be assigned a shield for defensive purposes.
"We were a little bit off where we were supposed to be." Lu Yu said to the eight soldiers who followed him, they were assigned to the edge of the square after getting their shields, and a squad next to them happened to dig up part of the corpses of the special forces and some guns in the middle of a pile of charred insect corpses that could vaguely be seen in the shape of an octopus. And on their side, there was nothing of value except for the floor tiles that had been plowed once.
Lu Yu was ready to stay like this all night, but he couldn't stand the exuberant energy of the young people in the team who were unwilling to be lonely, and finally, after staying in place for an hour and doing nothing, two soldiers walked out of their jurisdiction and walked towards a completely collapsed shop.
"Maybe something good will happen." A soldier persuaded Lu Yu in his ear, "And it's all free." ”
Lu Yu admitted that the latter sentence moved his heart, and he had heard the older generation of people who came over during the war years say that even when there was a shortage of materials and could not eat, gold still had unimaginable power. He just wanted to pick up a few pieces of gold jewelry that he couldn't sell anyway, and left it to verify whether the old people's words were correct.
Leaving the four people to continue to stand guard, Lu Yu led one of them to catch up with the two bold soldiers, and the four of them turned on the tactical flashlight, and then the bright flashlight looked for anything of value in the ruins.
"I'm a god!" A soldier from the northeast stood on top of a collapsed beam above the ground, pointing forward with his mouth wide open, Lu Yu quickly climbed up, and when he saw it clearly, he also grew his mouth in shock.
Two straight ruts appeared out of thin air in the ruins, a wheel print as wide as two cars side by side, and the wheel print did not appear on the road, but directly on the roof of the house! A large area to the north of the shop seemed to be crushed to the ground by a huge piece of iron falling from the sky, like a giant tank, running straight over countless houses.
"It's not a human thing!" Lu Yu immediately thought that no one would invent such a big car, not even the giant of the mining farm.
"Quick! Call the scout planes and let them take pictures! Lu Yu shouted at the soldiers.
"All the air forces are going southwest." One soldier replied, "It looks like they're ready to go back." ”
"A bunch of useless things! There is simply no hope for a critical moment. Lu Yu scolded hatefully: "Do you have a camera?" So many shops around! There must be a camera! Find it! ”
"Report to the squad leader... I... I picked up a phone. A soldier squeaked back.
All of a sudden, everyone turned to look at him. "Good guy, dare to steal a mobile phone!" The soldier next to him snatched the mobile phone, no one believed that he picked it up, this year, almost everyone has done the thing of smuggling mobile phones into the barracks, but they still dare to carry it on their bodies when they fight, they are the first time to see it,
Lu Yu glared at the soldier, reached out and took the phone, he turned on the camera and took more than a dozen photos in a row, thinking about it, it was not enough, so he simply took another 5-second video. Then he put his phone back in his tactical vest pocket.
"Search again and see if there's anything good."
Luck seemed to be particularly fond of the team tonight, and it wasn't long before they walked to the side that they noticed something unusual.
