Chapter 21: The Swarm Comes Again
We finally built a shelter where we could stay, and when the three of us slept soundly inside, we didn't know what happened outside. First of all, my memory of waking up was temporarily disconnected, and this is not just my problem, although Chen Zaihai said that he still remembers what happened before, but there are many details that they have forgotten.
There is also this strange sound coming from outside, no matter how you listen to it, it will make people feel numb and uncomfortable. The three of us just look at me and I watch you hold my breath and listen. At first, the sound was faint, but now it has become continuous.
Chen Zaihai gestured to us, saying that he would go out to reconnoiter first, so that we could be ready to support at any time. The two of us nodded, and I made a point of reminding him not to do anything, to inform us immediately if something happens, and to be cautious for me. He nodded, and crawled out through the opening I had made.
After that, it was as quiet as death, I don't know if the owner of the voice had noticed Chen Zaihai, and the indescribable continuous sound from just now suddenly disappeared without a trace like a ghost. This makes us even more nervous than before, and the calm before the storm does not bode well.
We waited quietly for several minutes, and we didn't hear Chen Zaihai's movements. What's wrong with him? There is no movement at all, is it a trick? It can't be, I know his skills better than anyone else, and I really don't know anything that can make him unable to make a sound in such a short period of time. Something must be wrong out there.
I really can't wait any longer, and I really want to rush out with the engineer to find out. But just as my hand was on the edge of the opening, I stopped abruptly. Chen Zaihai made it clear that he would never mess around, maybe he was just going to reconnoiter somewhere else now, and I would startle the snake if I went out so casually.
After all, I have no understanding of the situation outside, if there is really an enemy, going out is the best live target, and I don't have Chen Zaihai's reflexes and skills, I don't dare to guarantee that I can handle it, and if I don't do it, I will become his oil bottle. It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened, and I can't count the number of times I've been saved by him.
Thinking of this, I withdrew my hand again, so I should believe what he said. I told the engineer that he was ready to rush out to support Chen Zaihai at any time, and that it was so quiet outside that he had gone far away. According to this person's previous urine, there will definitely be something bad, which is almost a law.
The voice disappeared strangely, perhaps because he was attracted to it. The little warrior in front of him nodded, his eyes looking determined. Looking at his clear eyes, I regret once again that I shouldn't have taken him to such a dangerous place, and I really don't know if it was a kind of luck for him to be alive until now.
I patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and then the two of us lay semi-prone under the opening, pricking up our ears to keep out the slightest sound outside. Gradually, another voice came, and it was completely different from the previous one.
"Click, click" sounds to me more like footsteps, no, it's the sound of running. And the frequency is so fast that it's like you're running for your life. I immediately reacted that this was definitely Chen Zaihai's voice! This bastard really lived up to expectations and got into trouble with something damn!
"Old Su! Hurry out and get out! Pick-up! Then came his excited shouts.
Of course, I had already climbed out of the container with the engineer in flight, and I ran to the light machine gun position as fast as I could, aiming at the darkness ahead. After a while, there was a bright light behind me, and the vision in front of me suddenly became very clear. It was supposed that the engineer activated the generator in the back and re-energized the gas lamp. I could see that Chen Zaihai was desperately running towards this position, and there were groups behind him
"Chen Zaihai, you bastard!" I immediately clenched my machine gun and shouted. "Can you not provoke such a life-threatening ancestor every time!"
He jumped into the first layer of the position with all his might, and unloaded the impact with a tumbling. Pick up a machine gun like a front straf.
"Do you think Lao Tzu wants to do this?" He gasped. "I said what that sound was! It's the movement of these ancestors crawling! ”
We're dealing with things that we're familiar with, and we've been fighting them since we've been here, though each time it's ended in a fiasco. But now at least I'm not scared by the ugly looks of these guys and don't dare to do anything.
It's the lice woman who came, not one, not a group, but a super big group! Not much worse than the last time we encountered it in the tunnel! Where did these guys come from? There are no volcanic rocks around here.
There was no time to talk nonsense, and I also pulled the trigger like Chen Zaihai went crazy. These things are enough for us to drink, if not overwhelming. The sound of rustling made me feel pimples, and I thought of the sappers who died last time, and they must not be allowed to come close!
"Kid in the back! You don't have to come and help! Chen Zaihai shouted as he opened fire. Did you see the two infantry guns next to the truck? I'll be able to hit it in a moment! Shoot me as soon as these bugs clump together! ”
As soon as Chen Zaihai said it, I remembered that these bugs can also gather into a huge disgusting ball of worms. Once it becomes in this form, except for heavy weapons such as infantry guns, other weapons, including heavy machine guns, will be completely ineffective.
"Do you understand? Don't turn me into a ball! It's too late, remember which secret to hit where! He continued. Old Sue! Leave this to me, you withdraw and use those heavy machine guns! ”
I immediately asked him what to do with himself, and he said that he was not wasted enough to worry about me, and that if he couldn't make it up, he would come to me himself. Although I didn't know what to expect, I always felt like I had abandoned him, but I nodded and ran to the heavy machine gun position behind.
At this time, those insects were only a dozen meters away from us, and their ability to fly close to the ground seemed to be better in such an open place. I jumped over the sandbag, I was so good at the handle of the gun, and I just shot at these disgusting things.
The metal storm of the heavy machine gun cut a beautiful curve and exploded among the ground lice women at the front. Countless insects were swept into the air by the impact, and the green blood rushed into the air, which made people chill when they opened.
That's when I realized that these bugs seemed to be a little different from what we had seen before, and the color of the shell and the volcanic rock that I had encountered in the tunnel before was, I think, that dark brown. And the guys in front of us do have a strange black color, and in this case, I don't think we would have seen them at all if it weren't for the massive number of gas lights. And they also seem to be a little bigger than they've seen before.
What's going on? Is there still a variant of the ground lice woman? How do you look at these things, they are much more ferocious than what we have seen before! Chen Zaihai in front of him has already changed to six Czech styles, but all we can do is slow down the advance of these bugs, and there is nothing we can do to make them stop.
Despair slowly crept into my heart again, and as far as I could see, the gas lamp was full of these black mutant bugs, and I didn't know how much was hidden in the darkness in the distance. How did they gather during the time we were asleep? It's not going to be done at all!
Rumble! There was a loud bang behind my ears, and I saw a large field of fire coming out of a place where the lice were more dense. Countless charred black insect corpses rained down on their companions, and the insects at the center of the explosion were directly stabbed to pieces. The swarm's pace slowed even more, as if they had been stunned even more by the cannon. It's a shame that we have such a thing, otherwise we would have been swallowed up by these guys.
But there is still a cannon, and the lamp needs to be reloaded after this cannon. I really don't know how many shots it will take to clean up this amount, and it may be useless if it runs out. And more importantly, will we really be able to hold up until the moment the shells are gone?
Chen Zaihai, who had used up all the light machine gun bullets, retreated to my side, picked up the remaining heavy machine gun and began to fire. The swarm eventually crossed the first line. How many lice have we killed during this time? Hundred? Or a thousand? I don't have a clear concept in my brain, and all that's left is to play, pull the trigger, play again, pull the trigger, this series of mechanical actions. I didn't dare to think about anything else, because I was afraid that if I thought about it, I would lose all the ** that I was fighting against.
And then another shot, this time not even forcing them back to the back of the first line! Damn, after all, we are too few people, no matter how abundant our weapons are, our firepower still has a limit! I'd wish I could operate three heavy machine guns by myself right now! We have to be separated from Talia and them at this moment, and if they are here, we will learn to persevere.
The engineers in the back were nervously reloading, and the two of us were also in the final dying throes, and no one knew if we would be able to hold out until the next shell was loaded. But the three of us know very well that we can't wait for the next shot! Those lice are almost sticking to our faces!
"Old Su! I didn't expect that we would still have to explain in this kind of ghost place. Chen Zaihai ran out of ammunition boxes and looked at me with a wry smile. It was an expression of giving up everything.
Just as I was about to say something, I noticed a riot on the other side of the swarm. This was followed by a huge burst of fire, and so on! This won't be!
