Chapter 22: The Arrival
Carmenia County, because of its proximity to the Cascade Mountains, was once a good place to visit, and the mayor of the town was often crowded with tourists of all colors.
However, the once prosperous town is now desolate as a Jedi, with garbage scattered on the streets, supermarkets, shops, and takeaways empty, and a little deserted.
And the reason for all this is naturally that the St. Helens volcano has undergone abnormal changes and is full of monsters.
Those monsters on the mountain are not well-behaved cuties, in their eyes humans are just food, and hunting humans seems to have formed an instinct.
The human beings of Carmenia County have long since escaped and died.
Today, Kamenia County has become a dead land.
"Dada............"
Suddenly, the sound of a dense burst of bullets was heard.
The originally calm and silent street instantly became chaotic, and as far as the eye could see, a small team of about thirty people was fighting a mushroom monster that was close to two meters long.
All kinds of guns sprayed out hideous tongues of fire, completely covering the mushroom monsters, the glass said that the mushroom monsters that should be easily killed by bullets, but at this time they showed extraordinary defensive power, rows of tongues of fire covered their bodies, most of them were directly bounced out, and a small part of the remaining ones were only stuck in the mushroom skin, and no mushroom monsters caused too much damage.
The mushroom monster ignored the bullets on its body, and with a hideous bloodthirsty glint in its eyes, its legs were extremely high, and it rushed towards a soldier beside him.
Seeing the mushroom monster running over quickly, the soldier who was still shooting desperately suddenly retreated in a panic as if he had seen a ghost.
"Sergeant, don't panic!"
A thick and serious voice came from the side, this voice seemed to have some kind of magic, the soldier who was still afraid, after hearing this voice, his body trembled, the fear in his eyes actually dissipated most of it, the hand holding the gun became more stable, and the violent tongue of fire erupted from the barrel again, covering the mushroom monster entirely.
Under the rain of bullets, the mushroom monster kept advancing, although a bullet could not cause much damage to the mushroom monster, but countless bullets rushed into the body of the mushroom monster, after all, it caused some damage to the mushroom monster.
The mushroom monster that could have been able to run fast is gradually getting slower and slower, and its vitality is slowly passing.
Finally, the mushroom monster's life flow reached the limit, and the mushroom monster's body trembled, and the whole body fell forward.
Seeing the mushroom monster die, one by one of the soldiers around, they breathed a sigh of relief and exhaled the fear in their hearts.
At this time, a man in a military uniform and carrying an American bald eagle epaulette walked out.
American Bald Eagle with the rank of colonel!
The colonel had a serious complexion, a straight backbone, a square complexion, and a kind of courage to stand up to the sky.
The colonel glanced around, then turned to look at the soldiers around him.
At this time, after days of fighting, there were only thirty of the thousand-strong team he led, and each of them was full of exhaustion and fear in his eyes.
Looking at these soldiers of different ages, the youngest was even only a teenager, the colonel's expression was a little gloomy, and he couldn't help but recall the experience of the past few days, just a little thought, the colonel had a kind of usurpation and anger bursting out, his henchmen, his friends, his partners who fought side by side, all of them had been devoured by those terrible monsters of unknown origin.
The bitter hatred made the Colonel think of fighting those monsters more than once.
However, he understood that he could not do this, or even have such thoughts.
These soldiers around him still need him to bring back alive, and his ascent is still waiting for him to go back to report the mission.
He can't, not even if he hates!
The soldiers around him were so tired that some of them were fighting with their eyelids even when they were standing, and some were just leaning against the wall lightly, and they could even snore slightly.
"Smack!"
The colonel suddenly raised his hand and fired a shot into the sky, and the sudden sound of gunfire attracted the attention of the soldiers.
Seeing that the eyes of all the soldiers were converging, the colonel spoke solemnly and loudly.
"Soldiers, now follow my orders and move immediately towards the eastern exit of Carmenia County."
Hearing the colonel's order, the tired soldiers around them supported their tired bodies and began to act.
The colonel turned around, he didn't want to look at the tired faces of the soldiers, he knew that the soldiers were tired, and he himself was not tired.
But you can't rest now, not even for a second!
Those painless monsters may surround them at any time and kill everyone.
The colonel walked with steady steps, striding ahead, everything ahead is unknown, walking in the front, there is danger at any time.
But he didn't have the slightest fear!
The group of soldiers, who were already physically exhausted, did not move very quickly, but fortunately, after several days of groping, they were close to the exit of this town, where there were military helicopters that had been prepared earlier, and if they escaped there, they would be out of danger.
Suddenly, the Colonel, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped his steps and waved his hand to stop the others from walking.
A pair of heroic and upright faces are full of thick solemnity.
Although the soldiers around them didn't know why the colonel behaved like this, their trust in the officer made them stop on the spot without any objections.
The cold wind blew, and the atmosphere at the scene began to become extremely depressing.
"Boom!!"
"Roar!"
The ground exploded, and a green plant burst out not far from the Colonel, its neck fluttering, its body stretched forward, its mouth slammed open, and it let out a beastly roar at the Colonel.
The smell of fishy smell came to his face, and his cold teeth were not even a meter away from the colonel, even in this case, the colonel's face did not have half a look of fear and panic, only the solemnity of a soldier on his face, and the astonishing killing intent in his eyes from time to time.
"Soldiers, stand back!"
As soon as the order was issued, before the soldiers could react, there was suddenly a dense sound of footsteps behind them, and smoke and dust rose from the sky, and countless mushroom monsters rushed towards their location.
There were terrifying man-eating flowers in front of them, countless mushroom monsters in the back, and the soldiers, whose hearts had already been filled with exhaustion and fear, could no longer hold back the fear of death in their hearts, and collapsed to the ground weakly.
The air of despair permeated the audience, and even the colonel, who had always been wise, could not find a way to escape at this time.
Fear, it does not belong to this iron-blooded colonel, death is coming, the colonel laughed instead, he took out a saber from his arms, threw away the bullet gun in his hand, and strode forward to the man-eating flower.
Even if you die, you will have to cut off a few of your stems and leaves!
Seeing that the soldiers are going to be overwhelmed by countless mushroom monsters, the colonel is going to be killed.
At this moment, a dull and oppressive aura suddenly came from the sky, and from the sky, something tore through the air, with a terrible sound of breaking the sky, and smashed heavily on the chilling terrifying cannibal flower.
"Boom!!"
The earthquake trembled, the dust filled the sky, and the cannibal flower was suppressed without even holding on to a breath.
In the midst of the endless dust, there was a man standing with his hands in his hands, stepping on a pan that was beyond imagination.
The gloomy clouds in the sky dissipated, and the long-lost sunlight shone from the sky, and the future people were reflected like gods.
