Chapter 13 Awakening II
Who's that woman, though? She looks very young, but she can give orders to Ricardo, who is a major! But apparently she is very powerful, and her temper is not very gentle, and asking about her identity is likely to provoke disgust, which is not something to be pleasant to do. [So the 4 servants could only follow the two silently with questions, moving towards another battlefield where the gunfire was fierce.
Ricardo looked at the direction of his advance, and was immediately taken aback, and hurriedly caught up with Li, saying, "Hey, it seems that our direction is getting farther and farther away from the base, and the enemy has deployed heavy troops in that direction!" β
Rei still pressed resolutely towards the gunshots, and replied without looking back, "The direction of the base is more dangerous. And I need to find the lost people. β
"But it's easier to be surrounded that way! We should first find a way to rush out and contact the reinforcements at headquarters. In this damn place, a single means of communication is useless. Ricardo argued as he cleared up the occasional scorpion warrior of the Lone Calamity on his side.
Leigh didn't answer, but suddenly rushed forward, knelt on one knee, and slid forward on the ground with the momentum, rushing out of the street in front of him in an instant, and then the assault rifle in his hand roared desperately, and in an instant, he emptied the magazine of 60 rounds, and swept down the two Calamity Scorpion soldiers in the far side of the barricade. Ricardo could only reluctantly follow, and the dragon rifle assault rifle roared and stopped, and successively beat the four warriors of the Calamity Scorpion into a sieve. His marksmanship is much stronger than Leigh's, and his Dragonlance Assault Rifle is more than half as powerful as Calamity's Assault Rifle, allowing him to take out an enemy with a single burst of fire, rather than a furious sweep like Leigh. The four servants who had been collected from the battlefield were also experienced and had been in the war for a long time, and they automatically dispersed to protect the flanks and rear of Rei and Ricardo.
Ahead was a fierce battlefield, judging by the dense gunfire and explosions, there were at least a few dozen people fighting fiercely. Li's eyes lit up, and she suddenly exerted her strength, maneuvering forward with fast and concise tactical movements, and rushed directly to the battlefield!
Ricardo and Rei marched side by side, clearing out the scattered enemies in front of them while shouting, "Hey! Beauty, there are too many enemies in front of us, and it is very dangerous for us to rush up like this! β
"We can kill them, and, most likely, my companions on the other side." Leigh replied coldly.
Ricardo exclaimed, "But I'm a major, and here I should be the commander!" β
"I'm not your servant, and you'd better listen to me." Leigh's answer was still cold and unrelenting. By this time she had come to the edge of the battlefield, took up the forward position, and began to observe the terrain and the enemy's positions.
Ricardo smiled bitterly, feeling unable to argue with Leigh. They were supposed to act together, but Ricardo's command made a mistake and plunged headlong into the enemy's ambush circle, which was eventually completely dispersed. Ricardo, Rigore, and Rei each held off enemy forces in one direction, covering the breakout of Hucong. In this war zone, where the means of communication and supply have been lost, and where there are enemies everywhere, it is extremely dangerous to be alone. After meeting up with Ricardo, one of the things he did was to gather the scattered warriors and look for Rigolei and his followers. In fact, in the skirmish, Leigh's command was not necessarily better than Ricardo's, after all, the first heir of the Fabregas family fought against the Holy Radiance Crusaders in the northern battlefield for several years, and was promoted from private to major. However, Leigh has a natural acumen for the battle situation, but also has a composure that is completely inconsistent with her age, so she is almost insulated from mistakes, at least Ricardo has not seen her make mistakes.
After observing the battle situation for a while, Li summoned 4 servants, divided them into two groups, outflanked them from the left and right, and made sure to defeat the shooters on the commanding heights on both sides, and then said to Ricardo: "The three armored fighters on the right will be handed over to you, and I will deal with the guy on the left." β
As for the more than 30 ordinary warriors of the Calamity Scorpion, Rei was not assigned, and for Ricardo and her strong abilities, these ordinary people were not a threat.
Ricardo lunged forward, leaped, tumbled, and moved sideways in a dazzling array of tactical maneuvers, the assault rifle in his hand still roaring, and the powerful bullet shot at the helmet of the armored warrior with astonishing accuracy. Even if you can't shoot through their helmets, the force of the impact can break their neck bones, or the violent concussions of the guΓ² will seriously damage their brains. In less than a minute, three armored warriors were added to Ricardo's battle list, and he maintained a high speed of movement, using the cover of various terrain types, and began to sweep away the ordinary fighters.
The top floors of the buildings on both sides exploded almost simultaneously, and the bodies of several Calamity Scorpion warriors were torn off the roofs by a wave of air. The four servants immediately appeared on the position of the scorpion that originally belonged to the Calamity, condescendingly, and began to suppress the battlefield with firepower. At the same time, the people who had been suppressed by the Calamity Scorpion in a half-blown building also intensified their firepower, and even a tall man rushed out and launched a reverse assault. It seems that several of the people besieged are also veterans of the battlefield.
"Rigore!" Leigh shouted, and the fire of the assault rifle in her hand became even more rapid.
Under the internal and external attacks, the entire 4 squads of Calamity Scorpion Warriors were all turned into corpses. Due to the control of the chip, the ordinary warriors of the Calamity Scorpion never surrender and do not run away. After breaking through at a heavy cost, Rigore, Leigh, Ricardo and the servants finally regrouped. It was only a full 60-man force at the time of the sortie, and now only 15 people remain.
After a brief rest, Leigh led the scarred team on their way to the heart of the Calamity Scorpion. After breaking through three consecutive blockades, Li had already led his troops around in a big circle. The direction of her assault was clearly beyond the Scourge Scorpion's expectations, and by nightfall, there weren't many Calamity Scorpion teams around. It was only at this time that Rei led the exhausted team to a hidden abandoned building and prepared to rest for a while.
After scouting the ground, arranging sentry posts, and making sure that everyone in the team had taken care of their wounds, Rei beckoned to Rigore, who had just bandaged his wounds, and walked with him into an empty room with no one around.
Leigh drew her saber and burned the blade with fire, then threw her saber at Rigore, fell to the ground, and said, "I have been shot twice, help me deal with it." β
"Where?" Rigoray took out his medical kit, only to find that all the medicines in it had been used up. In a few days of fighting, he was hit by at least six shots, but fortunately, none of them hit the vital parts, and the ability to control the area with the second-order defense also weakened the Calamity Scorpion's bullet power by at least half, which allowed him to maintain his basic combat effectiveness. Not only Rigore, but everyone in this team had run out of medical kits, and even most of them had run out of ammunition, so they had to use the far less powerful Calamity Scorpion weapon. Only a weapon master like Ricardo, who can maximize the damage of the enemy with a small amount of ammo, can continue to use a dragon rifle-type assault rifle that fits his hand.
"Here!" Leigh pointed to her right hip and right thigh.
Li Gaolei didn't care about it, he directly untied Li's combat pants and faded to his knees, revealing two wounds, and he didn't care to admire Li's round and powerful buttocks and legs, and his eyebrows were immediately locked! The two wounds bulged out so high that there were no bullet holes in sight, and the surrounding flesh was completely necrotic, showing a pale green gray.
Rigoray reached out and gently stroked both wounds, then pinched Leigh's buttocks, and Leigh immediately snorted softly in pain. She actually has a very strong personality, but there is no need to be so strong in front of Rigore.
"Fuck! It's a dirty bomb! Rigore scolded fiercely.
A dirty bomb is a warhead mixed with chemical toxins and radioactive substances, although there is only a slight radiation, but after a long time after being bombed, it will also produce a large area of tissue necrosis. Rei had been shot for a long time, but she had endured the fact that she had not treated her wounds, and only now did she come to Rigore for treatment.
First aid is a basic survival skill for people in the wilderness. Rigore expertly cut a cross in Leigh's wound, picked out the bullet, cleaned the carrion, and finally burned the wound with fire to finally end the treatment. Rei was covered in sweat and too weak to stand up.
"You take a break, we should have four more hours to be safe." RigorΓ© took off his coat and put it on Li, she couldn't move, she couldn't move.
Leigh replied weakly, and the room fell silent. Rigolei lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and placed it to Leigh's mouth. Lilian took a few breaths, and finally lifted her spirits a little, and said, "I really didn't expect you to have this good thing." β
"It's hard to stay until now. Those damn scorpions don't smoke. It wasn't until Leigh finished smoking the whole cigarette that Rigore pressed the cigarette butt out.
"You say, can we get out alive?" Leigh asked suddenly.
Rigolei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Surely!" The boss should be here soon. β
Li sighed softly and said faintly, "I don't know what he's doing now, hum!" Maybe I'll be in that woman's bed again! β
After a while, Leigh said, "If we die in this battle, do you think the boss will remember us?" β
Rigolei smiled and didn't answer Li's question directly, but asked, "What are you following the leader for?" β
"I don't know!" Leith buried her head in her arms and said a little depressedly, "Actually, what is he doing to me?" I don't see anyone a few times a year, and I don't pay much money, so I have to fight to the death for him. That woman hooked up with him, and I didn't have any ideas, who made her prettier than me, and better than me? But if they want to, I'll just walk away, and they won't have to tie me up and stuff me in the closet, right?! β
Rigolei laughed when he heard this, and Li, who was even more depressed, had no choice but to hit his head twice on the ground. Anyway, she is physically strong, and she can't be damaged by hitting it.
"What about you, I still want to be his woman, why do you come with him as a servant? Isn't it nice to be in Roxerland, at least it's free. Leigh asked.
Rigore stretched his body, leaned back against the wall, and said slowly, "Roxerland is indeed a big company, but it can't compete with such behemoths as the Bloody Council and the Dark Dragoon. Previously, these behemoths may have been busy solving internal problems and had no extra energy to expand outward. And the vast wilderness, which simply does not give them anything but radiation and waste. In this way, there is room for the survival of settlements large and small, and companies like Roxerland can survive. However, now this era is passing. I could feel that the big guys were looking into the distance they hadn't noticed before, and the rate at which they were expanding was accelerating. It won't be long before these big guys have finished the process of discovering and testing each other, and have begun to fight each other! Do you think Roxerland, sandwiched between these big guys, will have a chance of surviving? Unless it renounces force, attaches itself to a certain power, and becomes a company in the sense of the old times. β
Leigh scratched her hair impatiently and interrupted Rigore's words: "I know all of this, but that's not the main reason! β
Rigolei knew that usually Li was a girl who seemed to be rough-haired, but in fact, she was very sensitive to political and military matters, and she no longer belonged to the category of an eighteen-year-old girl. He said so much, in fact, he just sighed, and most of these words were for himself. Hearing that Li was already a little impatient, Rigolei smiled and said, "Actually, the main reason why I followed the leader is that he treats us as people like him. It's not like other big people, who don't think that we ordinary people are the same kind of creatures as them at all. And, even if I die in battle, as long as the boss is okay, he should continue to take care of Sally for my sake. β
Rigore was telling the truth, but there was one thing he didn't say, and that was that there was an eighteen-year-old troublesome guy who was really reassuring, and he had to watch it closely, lest he be somehow chopped up or become the plaything of some powerful guy.
Of course, Rei didn't know this, and after listening to Rigore's words, she asked with some confusion, "Isn't the leader a man who grew up in the wilderness like us?" What's so strange about treating us as the same? β
Rigore shook his head and said, "No, that's different! We're just a bunch of bugs parasitic on the wilderness, and the leader is the one who melts into the wilderness! β
The night was long, but finally dawn came.
In the faint morning light, a group of Calamity Scorpion soldiers was advancing towards their predetermined position. There are four armored fighters in this team, and there is also a field commander who has strengthened his intelligence and perception ability, and the combat power of the configuration is obviously several times that of an ordinary squad. Their mission is to set up an ambush circle between the trapped dragoons and the base, ready to ambush possible reinforcements.
During the march, the field commander seemed to sense something, and ordered the whole team to stop advancing, while he himself looked into the distance. Her visual ability is nearly ten times that of ordinary people, but she can't see far away in such dim light and fog and smoke everywhere. The female field commander looked very young, with no expression on her face and a row of numbers printed on her forehead: 306. The soldiers in her team, except for the armored warriors, were wrapped in alloy armor all over their bodies, and the rest of the soldiers had numbers on their foreheads, the smallest being 30603 and the largest being 30641.
The commander took out a high-power telescope, and this time in the field of view in the telescope, a clear figure finally appeared.
It was a lonely man who walked alone, wearing a thick, long cloak that almost enveloped his whole body. In the darkness under the hood, a little shimmering turquoise brilliance could be seen. He was carrying a long rifle behind him, and he couldn't tell what model it was, so it shouldn't be advanced, but the length and caliber of the barrel were amazing, far beyond the scope of ordinary rifles.
To the commander's surprise, he didn't have any idea of hiding his tracks, just walked straight this way! Not to mention body temperature, even the sound of footsteps faintly echoed in the commander's sensitive ears!
This guy is dead. This was the commander's first thought.
Whether it's the Calamity Scorpion or the Dragoon, they will attack anyone who is not their own as soon as possible, and they don't care if they are innocent or not.
Am I blind? This was the second thought that flashed by the commander.
How long is the gap between two vague ideas? From every point of view, it's almost negligible!
In fact, between the two thoughts, the commander only saw two images, one was that the man was walking towards him, and the other was that the man was raising his gun and aiming at him. As for when the amazing-looking rifle was removed from its back and how it was aimed at itself, the process was all blank!
In the third picture, the muzzle of the gun spews out a ball of fire.
20 seconds later, an inconspicuous message rolled out from the light screen in front of Diaste: Team 306 is all gone!
