Chapter 22: The Corpse

Climbing the cliff, there is a gentle hill of high and low in front of you, which stretches along the east-west direction without an end in sight.

The entire position was built on these gentle hills, all of which were constructed and paved with metal plates to form a deep echelon position, which crisscrossed like a spider's web and stretched into the distance.

From a bird's-eye view from the sky, at the two ends of the Equatorial Canyon, two endless fortifications look like two silver steel Great Walls facing each other.

On the back of the Great Wall of Steel, there is a combat passage into the position every 100 meters.

After entering the passage, even if you have officially entered the position, you can advance in the trench with an average height of about 2 meters, and after turning around, you can reach the various combat points at the forefront.

The work of entering the position, changing the defense and arming is simple and effective.

Seeing the arrival of the change of guard troops, the commanders of the two sides carried out a simple handover of tasks, and the surviving soldiers of one side rushed down the cliff with a relaxed and joyful mood, while the soldiers on the other side who had just arrived entered the passage with their faces strained and bored.

The combat mission of the Eighth Division and its various units this time was only a garrison mission, and the positions they were stationed in were not the most advanced positions, or even if they were forward positions, there were basically few or even almost impossible close combat clashes.

The enemy and us are only separated by an equatorial canyon more than 3 kilometers wide, and some long-distance surveillance and defense work is carried out in their respective positions.

If you want to talk about fighting, it's not nothing, after all, the pulse energy ray gun can fight far away, so the daily tasks of both sides also include finding opportunities to shoot black guns at the opposite side, occasionally killing a few unlucky guys to mix up some military skills, and practicing marksmanship or something by the way.

Therefore, to put it mildly, the mission of the Eighth Division is quite easy, and the degree of danger is not high, which is mainly to consider letting the recruits who have just been added adapt to the battlefield environment first.

The company led by Wood was mainly responsible for defending a position area that was more than 100 meters wide and about 60 meters deep.

As is the case with other nearby positions, the position has a downward slope from the middle of the position, and some of the north-south trenches have a part of the space exposed to the enemy's line of sight and firing range, so it is necessary to bend down or even crouch when passing here.

As you can see, the closer you get to the front line, the more damaged the trenches become, and occasionally you can see some dried blood stains spilled on the metal plates.

The air here is quite fresh, there is no disgusting smell, and there are no fireworks to be seen, and the trenches are not crowded, at least in Li Yi's opinion, they are quite spacious, like walking in the aisle of home.

There was a clanging sound as the tactical boots collided with the metal plates on the ground, and an occasional command or two came from the tactical helmet.

Other than that, there are no special sounds to be heard, which makes people feel that this place does not look like a battlefield, at least not the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke as imagined.

Just when Li Yi felt that there seemed to be no danger here, and his nervous mood relaxed slightly, he only heard a soft sound of "poof" suddenly from the trench not far from the side!

Immediately after, a pig-killing roar sounded from the soldiers' tactical helmets!

"Spito! Someone was injured...... Stretcher Soldier! …… No, dead! Someone died! Drag this damn stupid chick away! ”

"Spito" is an Aboriginal word for an insult, which roughly translates to "fool".

Just now, a female recruit was pouting her ass and bending over the corner of the trench, presumably someone had eaten tofu from behind, so she straightened up and glared back at a male soldier who was following behind.

However, it was such an angry action, and before she could ask a question, her head was shot in the head by an energy ray from nowhere.

The matter of being eaten tofu may only be known to the two parties, anyway, the scene that the soldiers nearby saw was that the female soldier suddenly stood up straight without chirping, and then her head was instantly pierced by a flat knife light, and then the whole person shook and crooked, and waited for the non-commissioned officer behind to come up to investigate, and the person was already dead and could not die anymore.

As a result, this female soldier became the first soldier to die "honorably" after the entire company or even the whole division entered the position.

Li Yi naturally heard the shouts coming from the tactical helmet, and when he learned that a soldier had been killed in this way, he couldn't help but glance at Wood on the side with a shocked expression.

It's a pity that through the tactical helmet, Li Yi couldn't see the other party's expression and eyes, so his voice trembled and sounded in the group channel: "True, true...... Really dead? ”

Wood, who was busy dealing with this matter, heard this, and took the time to reply in the group channel: "It was Private Vader in a platoon who died...... You have to be careful, the snipers on the opposite side are everywhere, don't think that if you are short, the enemy will not be able to hit! ”

Only then did Li Yi control his disobedient cheeks, and said in a trembling voice: "Do you need a stretcher soldier to go over?" ”

Wood said, "No. I'll send someone else. ”

Li Yi frowned and didn't say anything.

Wood would have been mistaken, thinking that Li Yi showed a look of disgust because he was afraid, and couldn't help but say: "It's like this for the first time on the front line, let's squat in the trench for a few days to get used to it." Actually, your military skills are already solid, and now all you lack is overcoming your psychological fears......"

Before the words fell, he heard Li Yi say: "I'd better go." ”

Wood seemed to hesitate for a moment before he said, "...... Okay, then you go over and get Vader's body to the base car, and be safe......"

Obviously, Wood felt that instead of protecting the Earl as a national treasure, it was better to find an opportunity for him to grow up as soon as possible, but the premise was that it was still safe, and it was okay to leave the work of transporting corpses to him.

The battlefield map system in the Tactical Helmet is very similar to the radar map in the game, except that it does not show the enemy's situation, and other functions are readily available and very powerful.

The layout of your trenches, the distribution of personnel, the base weapons, the material warehouse, the location of the base vehicles, the mission location, and so on are all clearly identified.

Li Yi, who has played many online games and is very accustomed to this map system, did not speak again, and while following the cursor prompts on the map, he bent down and walked along the trench towards the target location.

In a short time, he easily found the target of this mission, Vader's corpse.

At the first glance of the corpse, Li Yi just felt a little infiltrating, and didn't feel too uncomfortable, which was completely different from the blurred sense of flesh and blood in his imagination.

The corpse is very complete and clean, there is no blood on the ground or on the corpse's body, and the side of the tactical helmet on the corpse's head is pierced with a rectangular flat small gap about 1 cm wide and 1 inch long, and its cross-section is very neat, and at a glance you can see that it was hit by the energy rays excited by the energy gun.

Didn't see any blood coming out of the gap in the tactical helmet.

After a little thought, I realized that when the extremely high temperature and fast energy ray penetrated the brain, it had already burned and sutured the tissues near the wound by the way, and naturally no disgusting liquid would come out.

Li Yi didn't open the metal stretcher for the first time, but scanned it a few times with his waist, and finally his eyes lit up and seemed to have found something, so he opened the stretcher, moved the body up, and then picked up the object pressed under the corpse on his back, turned on the magnetic levitation function of the stretcher, and pushed the stretcher to quickly run to the passage behind the position.

After leaving the position, he was already on the back side of the mound, and he did not worry about being shot black.

Li Yi was not as cautious as when he first came, and when he looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention, he performed "light skills", jumped off the cliff in three steps and two steps, and came to the side of the base car.

At this time, several logistics guards were patrolling around the base car, and when they saw that the tactical map showed that this was their own person and a stretcher soldier, they did not make much of a reaction, but simply waved their hands to say hello.

Li Yi ignored the soldiers, pushed the stretcher to the portal table on the side of the base car, then placed the corpse on it, and clicked a few times on the virtual control panel of the portal, and after a few seconds, the corpse disappeared after a burst of red light.

After another moment, Li Yi, who was on his way back to the position, received a system message.

"System message: You have recovered a corpse. After inspection, the integrity of the corpse was 95%, and 95 military merits were obtained; The carry-on equipment is a five-piece set for recruits, with a recovery rate of 83%, 8,300 points of recycled military merit are obtained, 83 points of military merit are shared by individuals, and the rest is transferred to collective military merit accounts at all levels. You have gained a total of 178 military merits in this mission, so pay attention to check. ”

Although the military merit reward is not much, he just went back and forth, effortless and effortless, and felt that it was indeed easier for the stretcher soldier to earn military merit.

After filtering out this information, Li Yi shrugged the object on his shoulder and continued to return to the position.

When Li Yi returned to Wood's side, Wood praised: "Very good! Nice job done......"

Before he finished speaking, Wood saw the object on the back of Li Yi's shoulder, and the words that followed reversed into: "Nonsense!" …… What is it? Gun? Where did you get the gun? ”

Li Yi said innocently: "I picked it up." ”

Wood suddenly realized, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

The reason why this adult dared to send the corpse was not because he wanted to be a hero, but because he was worried about picking up the guns of the dead......
