Clark couldn't do it better now. He knew that even if he kept it like this, there would come a day when they would run out of ammunition and food, and then they would all become food for the insects.

He opens up the team call and asks the captains of the other combat teams what they think.

"I think we should go back and break out immediately. The distance between the forward base and our current is more than 20 kilometers, and there should be hope if we run back with all our might. The captain of the Brooklyn squad was the first to give his opinion.

"This is going to die." Another captain, Hobbes, said that he had just rushed to the foxhole from the fort to support and knew how ferocious the bugs outside were.

"I don't think there's anything to wait for here, and the best thing is that the bugs will tear us all apart." The captain of Team Harrison said in the communicator.

"That's better than feeding them!" A rather shrill voice said, this is Captain Kilb who had just gone out to support the foxhole.

"Anyway, I don't want to wait here to die, we can form a team of people to break out, and those who are willing to stay will stay." Kliman said.

"No, we all have to act together to ensure the firepower of the breakout." Karin said.

"Now let's vote." Clark said, "If there are a majority of people willing to break out, we will kill them, and if there are many people who are willing to hold out, then we will wait." ”

"That's going to have to be voted on, and the foxholes are counted." Hobbs said.

"Yes!" Clark said, so he called the adjutant and told him to inform the engineer in charge of the fort to bring back all the Marines outside......

In order to vote, the soldiers in the foxhole returned to the fort one after another. The Marines in the foxholes were all disgraced, but their eyes were bloodshot. They witnessed the ferocity and brutality of the bugs.

So far, five Marines have been killed, and the rest of the soldiers are covered in green slime, which was sprayed on their bodies by the bursting of Zerg body fluids.

There were more people in the fortress, and the fortress, which originally had a capacity of only a dozen people, was filled with more than forty people at once, which seemed quite crowded. The smell of sweat and blood was mixed with the stench of bugs and the smell of ammunition residue from the barrel.

When Clark spoke of their current situation, the air inside the entire fortress seemed to condense. After a long silence, one of the miners howled as if he could no longer bear it, and this cry provoked more reverberations.

For a full five minutes, only cries could be heard from the fortress. Slowly, everyone stabilized their feelings and prepared to vote on their life and death.

That's when everyone started to think. They are responsible for their own lives and have to consider whether they can run back.

All the miners looked at Li De, and now in the hearts of these miners, Li De was their pillar although he was the youngest. If it weren't for Li De's previous cousin, they might have died in the mouth of the worm a long time ago.

Li De decided to break through, and he himself didn't know if the breakthrough was really the perfect choice now, and he didn't know if there would be hope if he would wait for it.

Maybe the bugs will just pull out, maybe the base will organize another sortie, maybe there will be air support. But he was unwilling to put his hopes above these uncertainties, and he wanted to take control of his own destiny.

Karin didn't know when she came to Li De's side. At this time, Karin took off her helmet, revealing brown hair tied in a ponytail and clear eyes. Karin's beautiful face surprised dozens of people in the fortress, and it was the first time that Li De had really looked at this beautiful female captain.

"Thanks to you!" Karin said to Lid, her voice as crisp as a beautiful bell, "If it weren't for you, our team would have been damaged!" ”

Li De faced such a beauty, who was still a higher rank than himself, and he said a little weakly: "Captain Karin, I still want to thank you, if it weren't for you, and your deputy, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape back here." ”

Karin ignored Li De's thanks and said lightly, "What about escaping back here?" Can you wait for help? ”

Li De said to himself: "Waiting for rescue? Sounds a little unreliable! His voice was not loud, and he thought no one heard him, but Karin heard it clearly.

Karin frowned slightly, and whispered to Li De: "When you break through for a while, follow me." ”

Li De was stunned, why is Karin so sure that she will break through? This time it's a unanimous vote, and the commander is Clark, Karin doesn't seem to have communicated with Clark, how could it be?

Voting in the military is relatively simple. Clark's lieutenant pulled out his helmet. Those who are willing to break through will put a bullet, and those who are willing to stay will put an empty cartridge case. After a while, everyone ended their voting.

While Clark's lieutenant was counting, Lide noticed a pair of eyes staring at him tightly. Following his eyes, Li De saw Vasily's eyes as fierce as a hungry wolf.

"Boy, you're in luck. Hope you can run back! Vasily looked at Lide and smiled maliciously.

"What's the matter, Vasily?" A man walked up to Vasily's side, his figure was taller and stronger than Vasily, he should be almost two meters tall, his face was fierce, his combat uniform was stained with the bodily fluids of insects, and he was holding an automatic rifle, like a fierce god.

"Whoa! That's this kid! Vasily said and pointed at Li De with his chin, "It seems that he injured Bush yesterday morning, and our team lost one person." ”

The big man gave him an unkind look, and Li De looked at the man's combat uniform, and his name was written on the bulletproof armor on his chest: Hobbes.

It's Captain Vasily! Li De's heart became nervous. Vasily was very arrogant on weekdays, and the night before yesterday he provoked him for no reason. He wounded the men of their squad yesterday morning, and although he didn't mean to, the captain's arrival now seemed to be ill-intentioned.

"You kid! Be careful! The quest has become dangerous, and hopefully you'll make it back alive! Hobbes gasped for air in his nostrils, lifted his chin, and said to Reed through his nostrils.

Hobbes turned and walked away, leading his team members and starting to organize his equipment. For a while, whether it is holding on or breaking through, there will be a fierce battle.

Li De was still apprehensive in his heart, and he held the automatic rifle assigned to him in his hand, which was his dependence for survival.

After a while, Clark's lieutenant came to Clark's ear and whispered a few words to him.

Clark stood up, and the inside of the fortress suddenly fell silent, and the silence made people panic.

"The statistics are out, let's break out!" Clark spoke the result.

When everyone heard this, they immediately clenched their weapons. At this moment, everyone lost the sadness and self-abandonment they had before. They only have the belief that they will always move forward, and as long as they return to the front line, they will have hope of survival.

"Everyone pack their equipment, the captain and I come, and line up the assault formation." Clark said to everyone. Both the marines and the miners tensed their nerves and began to look for weapons and equipment that they could use.

The captains, along with Clark and Kliman, came to the small room for command, and Clark began to arrange the formation of the breakout and adjust the distribution of fire: "The one who walks in front is ......"

Under Clark's arrangement, all five battle groups were disassembled, with the strongest firepower being placed at the front, three heavy machine gunners clearing the way, and Karin commanding the first echelon in front.

Li De and the miners were placed in the middle of the group, and Kliman commanded the layman's team, as long as they suppressed the fire on both flanks.

The broken team was commanded by Clark, who selected twelve of the more robust Marines and mysteriously carried out a large black box.

The sun was already setting in the distance, and the white sunlight was gradually turning orange-red. It had been less than a day since the men of the mining squad arrived in this hellish place, and the changes that had occurred were unbelievable.

Bang~Bang~! With two muffled sounds, more than a dozen grenades were fired from the fortress and flew in all directions. The encirclement of the bugs was not too far from the fortress, and the grenade fell in front of the swarm and exploded with a bang.

At the same time as the grenade was fired, the group of ore snatchers quickly rushed out of the fortress. At the forefront were Karin and three other snipers. They carried long-range sniper rifles, did not aim carefully, and fired almost strafing in front of them.

The bugs in front of the breakthrough force fell one after another. The high-velocity armor-piercing bullets emitted by these large-caliber sniper rifles were like strings of sugar gourds, which could penetrate the bodies of two or three giant mantises, causing unexpected effects.

After about twenty meters of this, Karin and the snipers slowed down, and the heavy machine gunners overtook the front.

Several heavy machine guns spun around and sprayed tongues of fire, running forward while the bugs were still in confusion and shock.

In the second echelon, a group of miners armed with semi-automatic rifles opened fire on the left and right sides. They don't have enough crosshairs, but they can always hit huge bugs.

And there were three engineers, who did not carry firearms, but from time to time ripped off one of the grenades hanging on their bodies and threw them at the place where there were many bugs.

Li De was at the front of the second echelon, and he looked at the insects on the left that were almost close at hand, carefully observing these big guys who were killing each other. At the same time, shoot at the same time.

He didn't forget to look at Karin in front of him for a moment or two, the tight body wrapped in combat uniform, barely shaking his shoulders while running, his eyes staring at the nearest bug and shooting around.

She had ditched the heavy sniper rifle and replaced it with a lightweight, semi-automatic rifle.

But this scramble bullet can always find the eyes of the giant mantis, the abdomen and other areas that are easily injured. Let Li De admire.

Li De also began to adjust his running posture by himself, twisting his body in the hope of achieving Karin's effect. But it almost caused him to fall.

smiled bitterly, and didn't force it, after all, the main thing now is to break out.
