Chapter Twenty-Five: A Night of Fierce Fighting
The ghoul stopped at the top of the lamppole, stretched out its blood-red tongue and licked the blood from its paws, before preparing to rush to its next target. At this moment, Zhuang Yichen faintly saw a red dot appear on its head,
Just as Zhuang Yichen wanted to confirm what was going on with the red dot, a huge gunshot rang out, and then Zhuang Yichen saw that the monster's head disappeared in an instant, leaving only a headless corpse that fell from the street lamp pole. Zhuang Yichen looked at the place where the gunshots rang out, and it turned out that there was a sniper position in the window of a residential building. One of the most terrifying sniper rifles in the world, the Barrett M82A1 is aiming its gun at the monster in front of the position.
After the ghoul was killed, two new ghouls appeared eager to attack the human army's position. At the same time, two skeleton warriors joined the battlefield with a small group of Fallen Demons.
The position, having lost its high-powered machine guns, suddenly became precarious. Zhuang Yichen looked at the two skeleton warriors carefully, their skeletons were much whiter and much denser than the Sinking Demon Skeletons summoned by Zhuang Yichen. In their right hand, they hold a rusty iron sword, and in their left hand a small round shield, like medieval Western warriors.
Just when this position was about to be captured by the army composed of this monster, a piercing sound of breaking the air came into Zhuang Yichen's ears, and along with this sharp and piercing whistling sound, it was a mortar shell. It turned out that the soldiers in the position called for artillery support.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! A series of explosions sounded, and the high-explosive grenades fired by the PP89 60mm mortar instantly turned the scorched black earth in front of the position into a sea of fire again.
After the explosion, this menacing monster army also disappeared, only the skeletons of the two skeleton warriors were still roughly intact, but the soul fire in the eye frame had been extinguished.
After the artillery support, this position was temporarily settled, but the gunfire elsewhere did not stop.
This time the monster attacked with unprecedented intensity, and the battle was taking place all over the entire garrison's defensive circle. Many days have passed since the disaster, and the survivors in other parts of Jiangcheng have either taken refuge in military garrisons or have died in the mouths of the Sinking Demon.
At the moment, there are only a large number of humans in the military garrison, which can be used as food for monsters. The hungry Demons of Doom had to start a massive assault on the army's protective ring, even if they were afraid of the human artillery, because once they shattered the hard shell, they would get the freshest delicacy.
Night soon fell, and under the cover of night, the monsters' attacks became more and more fierce. Throughout the night, the gunfire and explosions in Jiangcheng never stopped, and the entire defensive line was lit up by one flare after another. At the height of the battle, more than a dozen helicopters in the garrison also took off at the same time, and the artillery on board continued to spew out torrents of steel, supporting the precarious defense line in all directions.
This night, Zhuang Yichen did not sleep or cultivate, but closely followed the battle outside. It is believed that no one is asleep in the entire river city at this moment, and every ordinary survivor is secretly praying for the warriors outside. The fierce fighting continued all night, and only gradually stopped the next day when it was dark.
The Fallen Demons, who had been attacking frantically all night, suffered heavy casualties, and they threw down their corpses and retreated. Ghouls and skeleton warriors also suffered many casualties under the heavy artillery fire of the human army. As soon as the fighting stopped, the logistics team got busy. cleaned the battlefield, treated the wounded, burned the corpses, and Zhuang Yichen was also ready to go out.
There's never been a better time to pick up the slack! He hurried downstairs, but as soon as he got out of the door, he saw the cold corpse of a warrior lying on the street, and not far from him, there were two corpses of the Fallen Demon.
It is conceivable that this was during the night battle, and this line of defense was broken through and recaptured.
He walked slowly over to the corpse of the warrior, who had three deep blood marks on his neck, and the wounds were so smooth that he could tell at a glance that they were the claws of a ghoul. He took off his coat, then knelt on the ground and gently covered it. In fact, this act is meaningless to the deceased, but the living need comfort, and they need these seemingly meaningless things to comfort their hearts.
Just as Zhuang Yichen was ready to get up and leave, the soldier's fingers suddenly moved. Zhuang Yichen hurriedly took off the clothes covering the warrior, and the warrior slowly opened his eyes, his face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, and at the same time, his dark eyebrows were thickened.
With difficulty, he raised his right hand, pointed to his chest, and then opened his mouth as if to say something. Zhuang Yichen hurriedly put his ears close to listen to what he said, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't hear any sound. He raised his head and looked at the warrior, who had consumed the last bit of strength he had had. His eyes were blankly open, full of reluctance and attachment.
Zhuang Yichen gently closed his eyes, and then opened the pocket on his chest according to the position he had just pointed to.
Inside was a one-inch ID photo, which was carefully wrapped with a layer of transparent glue. In the photo is a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old, smiling slightly shyly.
Behind the photo is the girl's name, Ning Jin. There are two lines of small characters at the bottom of the name, which are written in different handwriting, peaceful and beautiful, and Qin and Jin are good. The last line is beautiful, and the next line is strong, obviously from the hands of a couple.
Zhuang Yichen carefully held this photo, and then solemnly put it into the innermost part of his space. He put the garment over the warrior again, and walked away with a quick turn. He felt that even if he stayed for a second longer, he would not be able to hold back the burst of the tear ducts and cry directly. He secretly promised the sacrificial young warrior in his heart that if you can meet this girl in the future, then I will definitely help you take good care of her!
He collected his mood for a moment, and just turned around and walked a few steps, but suddenly stopped.
Because when he accidentally skimmed it just now, he made a new discovery on the corpse of a sunken demon. The corpse of the Sinking Demon was lying face down on the ground, and a large hole was opened in the back of its head by the cannon on the helicopter, and in that big hole, Zhuang Yichen faintly saw an object with a glimmer of light.
Curious, he walked up and pulled out a fruit knife and pulled the object out of the blood hole. It was a clear, crystal-like crystal, about the size of a dragon's eye, with an irregular shape. Zhuang Yichen wiped the blood stains on the crystal, and then studied it curiously. He could feel the magic in it.
