Chapter 34: Fierce Fighting and Casualties
Lu Ping watched the battlefield nervously through the big screen in the main control room.
This is the first time he has seen this bat creature, and he thinks it should be a product of the end times, but it should only look like a mutation, not an unknown.
In the picture, Lu Ping can clearly see the form of this bat, they have pure black hair covering their whole body, and their two small claws have long nails, which look very sharp.
Above their heads, there are also a bunch of demonic sharp horns, black and purple, and there seems to be liquid flowing during the period, which is strange and abnormal.
These sharp-horned bats were so fast that even with artillery fire, some of them still escaped the defensive line and rushed to the front of the floating island fortress.
"Squeak!"
With a scream, the sharp-horned bat swooped straight down, and when it got close to its prey, it quickly stood upright and grabbed a mobilizer with the claws in front of it.
The mobilizer only felt a black light flash in front of him, followed by an indescribable stinging pain above his head.
Blood was running down its cheeks, and the sharp-horned bat was standing on top of his head, struggling to burrow into the cranial cavity.
"Bang!"
What happened here had long been noticed by the other mobilizers, and with a snatch, the sharp-horned bat was directly killed with a single shot.
However, more sharp-horned bats broke through the artillery lines and quickly swooped down on the Red Alert soldiers on the Floating Island Fortress.
These sharp-horned bats were fast, like black whirlwinds, and in the blink of an eye, they reaped the lives of several mobilized soldiers.
They've stormed the fortress!
This is a battle between two races, humans and mutated creatures, this war is destined to be cruel, no one is right or wrong, there are just madness at all costs to survive!
The base's defenses are shattering, blood is beginning to stain the ground on the edge of the fortress, and the Red Guard soldiers have already suffered a large number of casualties.
Lu Ping's fist clenched and loosened, and he could no longer react except to stand here and focus on the battlefield.
He also wants to go to the battlefield, but both the Red Queen and Yuriko are trying their best to stop him, just because he is the commander!
As the battle continued, more and more sharp-horned bats stormed the floating island fortress, and all the soldiers had to be forced to shoot from the muzzles of their guns in the shadows in the fortifications.
At this point, only ten minutes had passed since the mission began.
"With incendiary bombs!"
Although the power of the grenade is not small, the soldiers still feel that it is more appropriate to use incendiary bombs against this fury mutated creature.
Some of the soldiers who were shooting dropped their guns and pulled out several yellow incendiary bombs from behind.
As the soldiers threw it with all their might, the incendiary bomb that ignited the fuse made a graceful arc in the air and fell into the flock of flying sharp-horned bats.
Seconds later, the incendiary bomb exploded in mid-air.
There was no such thing as a grenade's loud roar, there was, just flames in the sky.
As the sea of fire swept in, the raging fire covered one sharp-horned bat after another, and suddenly, the terrible "squeak" sound continued to sound, and a burnt smell drifted along the cold wind, like a burnt tire, and the smell was pungent.
Hundreds of flaming sharp-horned bats screamed and flew around, some burrowing headlong into the snow beneath the floating island fortress, others rushing into the bat colony, and more sharp-horned bats burned.
Their black fur was undoubtedly the best accelerant, and the sea of fire devoured tens of thousands of sharp-horned bats in an instant.
Seeing that the incendiary bombs had such a huge effect, the soldiers couldn't help but bring more incendiary bombs.
All of a sudden, a sea of fire rose from the sky above and around the Floating Island Fortress, and the smell of burnt paste spread along with puffs of black smoke, and the smell in the air suddenly became pungent and unbearable.
However, the Red Guard soldiers were still happy to throw incendiary bombs, and even the missiles in the multi-purpose anti-aircraft guns were replaced with incendiary bombs.
The effect of this is significant, countless sharp-horned bats on fire are rampaging around, and even if some of them are not affected by the incendiary bombs, they will be affected by their companions who are on fire.
Even if some of the bats survived the fire, they were killed by the bullets that followed.
In less than an hour, the colony of sharp-horned bats had been wiped out, and the remaining number was less than a third of the original number.
As for the Red Guard soldiers, because they were hiding in the fortifications, there were no such incidents except for the initial casualties.
"Squeak! Chirping! ”
In the face of the incendiary bombs, fear had risen in the hearts of the remaining sharp-horned bats, and with the screams, they began to retreat!
They're on the run, to be exact!
Lu Ping in the main control room finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
The task should be considered complete, right?
However, the next moment, his face changed suddenly, because he saw that the dark clouds in the sky suddenly rolled up at this moment, and countless red lightning began to shuttle through the dark clouds.
It was clear that the battle below had caught the attention of those red beetles in the sky.
He stared nervously at the screen as the red beetle made Lu Ping more worried than the sharp-horned bat.
Because this creature is not only small in size, but also extremely fast!
For example, sharp-horned bats are fast enough, right? But according to the analysis of the red queen, the red beetle is faster than them, and even more than four times faster than the sharp-horned bat!
In other words, in the event of a battle, with the stress of the Red Guard soldiers, they will not even be able to catch its shadow!
This is also what Lu Ping is most worried about.
Not only him, but all those who have experienced the scene dozens of days ago will not forget the horror of these red beetles.
Especially Lu Yi and the others, they quickly ordered all the troops to be on alert, and all the peacekeepers raised their shields one after another, blocking all the weaknesses that could be broken through!
Everything is in tension again.
Fortunately, after a moment of tumbling in the clouds, they calmed down again, and the red lightning disappeared as if they had never appeared.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, after confirming that there was indeed no threat, Lu Ping ordered everyone to clean up the battlefield and count the losses.
All the soldiers sprang into action at once, some of them cleaning up the battlefield and others on guard.
The ground of the fortress and the surrounding snowfields were strewn with the carcasses of sharp-horned bats, some charred, others shattered by bullets and shells.
The soldiers endured the nausea, shuttled between the carcasses of sharp-horned bats, and collected crystal nuclei that were still intact, these are important energy points!
Ten minutes later, the loss of personnel at the base finally came to fruition.
One hundred and one people were killed, twenty-seven were seriously wounded, and thirty-six were lightly wounded!
Lu Ping rubbed his temples and let out a lament in his heart.
The cost of this war was too great, and the loss of more than a hundred lives made him feel that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier.
So many casualties were inflicted in the first battle alone, what if it was later? He felt that it was time for him to recruit someone more suitable for the position of commander to assist him.
