Chapter 3: Quicksand Town

Sniper, this is Zhang Xiaofan's position, to be honest, Zhang Xiaofan prefers to call him a "monster hunter", wherever there are monsters.

Due to the frequent battles, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, especially the attrition of experienced soldiers, which was unbearable for any army.

And dealing with the dinosaur is a very high technical demand, especially the ironclad beast, which is covered in bone armor, the vital point is very small, and the opportunity is fleeting. Not specifically trained. Without extraordinary psychological quality, a cool mind, and excellent marksmanship, even if the average person uses up all the magazines, it is difficult to inflict a heavy blow on the ironclad beast. So. The "Monster Hunter" app was born.

The barrier to entry for Monster Hunter is quite low, as long as you think you are suitable, you can apply, and as long as you apply, it will be approved, as for whether it is qualified or not, the overwhelming armor monsters will give you the answer.

Soon, the enthusiastic registration quickly cooled down, and in the end, there were more than ten groups of "monster hunters" in a short period of time, and only Zhang Xiaofan was left.

The high mortality rate is matched by the best welfare package, they have the best weapons and equipment, the best food, the fastest promotion path, and the most enviable leave.

The soldiers on the defense line have a lot of work to do every day, dealing with the attacks of the dreada, after the dreadbox retreats, they also have to repair the broken city wall, clean up the wreckage of weapons on the sentry post, replenish the consumed ammunition, maintain the weapons, and clean up the battlefield to clean up the corpses of the dreada, etc.

I was finally busy with everything, and it was endless training, shooting, shooting, shooting, mastering the essentials of tactics, and getting familiar with the performance of equipment. And then in the endless monster attacks, he consumed his young life. The vast majority of fighters simply don't survive a once-a-year vacation.

So the 'Monster Hunter's vacation' is the most enviable. But even if the treatment is generous, you have to have a life to enjoy, in the face of the ultra-high mortality rate, no matter how fanciful the chief says, the monster hunter of the 115th Regiment has always been Zhang Xiaofan alone.

Zhang Xiaofan came to the regiment headquarters, walked straight to the archive room where military exploits were recorded, took out the military merit card and handed it in.

The man who recorded the military exploits was Zhang Daguang, a disabled soldier in his 40s who lost his right leg in a battle. I had to take a back seat and do some paperwork.

Zhang Daguang took Zhang Xiaofan's military merit card, looked at it, and then returned the card to Zhang Xiaofan after a quick tap on the computer keyboard.

Zhang Daguang already knew what was going on the battlefield, and what he did was just a procedure. Looking at the young man in front of him, to be honest, it is impossible for Zhang Daguang not to envy him, but if he is asked to change with the young man in front of him, he is definitely unwilling to be killed.

Inserting the military merit card on the monitor next to him, the column of the holiday said "two days" Zhang Xiaofan's brows frowned slightly, and said; "Lao Zhang is not right, why is it only two days?"

Zhang Daguang said; "That's right, the war is so tight, our group is just a baby bump for you, and it's good to give you two days of vacation!"

"What can you do in two days? I want to see my mom!" Zhang Xiaofan said depressedly.

"You kid be content, look at the two boys next to you, your eyes are green." Zhang Daguang quipped.

He glanced at the computer again and said; "Kid is good, your points will soon be promoted to lieutenant colonel, I estimate that the battalion commanders of several main battalions of our regiment are not as high as you!"

Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand; "It's all empty, it's better to let me rest for two more days."

"Speaking of going home......" Zhang Daguang pretended to look left and right mysteriously, and whispered; Inside information, I heard that the Northwest Defense Line has collapsed on all fronts, and we are not sure to retreat, so that you can go home. ”

Zhang Xiaofan said; "You just break it up, you want me to bring you wine and say that the northwest defense line is much stronger than ours, and it's okay if we fall apart."

"Don't believe it," Zhang Daguang said urgently; "I heard that a new kind of monster appeared in the northwest, a flying monster, a large number of them, and the entire defense line was caught off guard, and it finally collapsed."

Zhang Xiaofan's heart moved slightly, "It's hard to say, every time a new monster appears, it will cause the collapse of the original defense line, the Great Wall defense line is like this, and the same is true of the original multinational force." ”

Zhang Xiaofan had a strange feeling in his heart, it seemed that the appearance of each new monster corresponded to the weakness of the entire defense line. As soon as a new monster appears, it will be able to break the deadlock and make the situation turn sharply.

Zhang Daguang pleaded; "Xiaofan, my brother has treated you well in the past few years, in case you retreat, you can't leave your brother alone!"

"It turns out that everything is here, no wonder this kid usually ignores his love, but now he has become so enthusiastic." Zhang Xiaofan said in his heart.

"Let's talk about it then, it's not up to you to decide on such a big thing as retreating, and it's not for me to have the final say."

Zhang Daguang's expression eased; "I'll just say yes to you, if you can, you must help my brother."

No matter how perfect the plan is in advance, once it is implemented, it is not the same thing, the first to go naturally fast, the retreat is unwilling to become cannon fodder, one after another, you chase me, a retreat is likely to evolve into a rout, in the end not only the loss of weapons and equipment, but also heavy losses of personnel, ordinary people are still like this, no wonder Zhang Daguang this disability can not sit still.

After doing everything, Zhang Xiaofan saw that the weather was still early, so he rode a motorcycle and drove towards the outside of the station.

This motorcycle was specially assigned to him by the regimental headquarters, naturally in order to make him move quickly. Whether on the defensive line or in the station, you can move freely.

Regardless of whether the news about the retreat is true or not, Zhang Xiaofan must have a plan. He didn't want to joke with his life, so he rode straight to Quicksand Town.

The name of the town of quicksand not only illustrates the geographical features, but also explains its nature, the whole town is completely dependent on the army to survive, the army is there, he is there, the army is gone, he will disappear immediately, just like the quicksand on the desert.

So most of the buildings in the town are simple houses, and the layout is quite messy, and no one will spend too much effort on things that may disappear at any time. However, although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs, and what is outside is available here, and what is not outside is also here. Red light districts, bars, casinos are all available, and anyone with money here will live well. But there's one rule: don't touch drugs.

The soldiers who survived on the battlefield need to vent, so the military also turns a blind eye to this kind of place, just don't touch drugs, the kind of things that destroy the nerves and poison the body, the military will not be soft once discovered, and the group of red-eyed madmen on the battlefield will not give you any reason. If it is discovered, it will be difficult to die.

Zhang Xiaofan rode directly to a dilapidated tin house.

The familiar smell of engine oil came to my face, and the not-so-spacious room was filled with all kinds of machines, and an old man in his fifties was working there.

Zhang Xiaofan came straight to the man and said respectfully; "Hello Master Zhou."

The man looked up and said happily; "Xiao Fan, why do you have time to come to me, shouldn't you have made another war exploit?"

Zhang Xiaofan was noncommittal and said; "Master Zhou, I want to make two shotguns, I don't know how much it costs?"

"Shotguns! What do you want that thing for, it's for melee. Master Zhou was surprised.

Zhang Xiaofan thought about it for a while, and told him that the army might retreat.

Master Zhou closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said; "The army will retreat? Word has spread in the town now, and it seems to be true. ”
