Chapter 9, Breakout 2

The last of the broken troops rushed out of the fortress, and a dozen men lined up side by side, armed with light submachine guns, and spewed tongues of fire at the insects that surrounded them.

The light submachine gun does not have a high attack power, but the rate of fire is extremely fast, and in ten seconds it can fire a hundred rounds. Although there are not many bugs that can be killed, it does a good job of slowing them down. A period of intense shooting made it impossible for the bugs to catch up.

Clark also donned the combat uniform of a Marine. This combat suit contains some light assist armor functions, which can increase the stability of shooting, as well as the strength and speed of combat, and is a slightly more advanced individual combat uniform in the army.

And in the broken squad, there were five people wearing such combat uniforms. In addition to Clark, his lieutenant and the captains of the other four squads were also equipped with this equipment. The dark gray metal armor enveloped them, making them all larger, and they stood out among the breakout teams.

The whole team ran out of dozens of meters in one go, two miners were cut by the sudden attack of the Zerg, there was no way to advance, and one of the marines was bitten in two by a giant mantis in order to cover his companions, and then his companions immediately avenged him.

Clark saw that behind them, there were countless bugs trying to climb over the makeshift fortress where they had been hiding before, forming a flank behind. He took out a cigarette and a large control device from his waist and pressed a red button on the control device. Only a loud bang was heard, and a huge explosion came from the makeshift fortress behind. The entire fortress turned into a red fireball, like another sun on the horizon, and dozens of bugs were killed by the fire and loud noise.

Then, the broken team threw away the light submachine guns and took out several different weapons.

Just now, while preparing, Clark had asked all the people in charge of the broken rear to adjust the camera on their helmets, and now, they turned around and ran backwards facing the direction of the fortress, with their backs to the troops in front.

Their cameras were all looking behind their heads, one eye looking at the camera in their helmets, which was the route and direction of the retreat, and the other at the rushing bugs.

Of the twelve, four used flamethrowers. The four men worked in pairs, one carrying a fuel canister and the other an injector. The flamethrower spews out a dozen meters of flames, and as long as there are bugs on either side that want to approach, it will be cared for by the flaming dragon. Even the occasional pit viper spews out acid that is vaporized when exposed to a high-temperature flame.

Two other people used grenades to fire grenades at the rear and sides. Grenades tend to explode in places with a high concentration of bugs, causing chaos in the swarm and preventing the bugs from gathering together.

The other six members of the team were all armed with semi-automatic rifles, and watched as the insects that were about to pursue them and suppressed them with fire.

At the same time, Clark also throws a ** backwards every time he runs a certain distance. There are dozens of ** hanging on his body, this ** is the size of two eggs, and after exploding on the ground, it will produce flames that will continue to burn for more than ten minutes, leaving a sea of fire behind the whole team.

A group of people ran forward with all their might, and bugs kept running out from both sides and in front of them.

Suddenly, a pit viper appears and splatters acid into the miners' group, causing them unexpected trouble.

The two miners ran in time and were stained with acid, and in a burst of screams, the skin and bones of half of their bodies turned into a pool of blood, and the people around them were terrified.

The pit viper wanted to spew out another mouthful of acid, but Karin spotted it and immediately turned the tip of the gun to shoot continuously. Karin fired three shots, the first three of which hit the pit viper in both eyes, and the sharp pain caused the pit viper to distract him.

Just as the pit viper turned its head, three bullets from Karin's second shot hit it directly in the mouth. The pit viper let out a painful roar, and Karin's third shot hit the viper's shaking head.

A reddish-brown and green liquid squirted out of the pit viper's head, and instead of spewing out any more acid, the pit viper poured directly onto the ground.

After paying the lives of three marines and two miners, the entire breakthrough team ran more than 100 meters and came to the original location of the mine.

There seemed to be more and more bugs in front of them, as if there was no end in sight. The heavy machine gunners running in front of them are also under increasing pressure. The dense swarm of insects was difficult to penetrate under the strafing of heavy machine guns, countless insects were getting closer and closer, the speed of the breakthrough team slowed down, and the giant mantis on both sides were slowly approaching.

At this moment, a soldier finished the bullet in the gun and did not continue to reload, but gave the ammunition to his comrade next to him. The comrade-in-arms took the ammunition he handed him, vaguely knew what he was going to do, nodded to him with tears in his eyes, and put the ammunition in the ammunition bag he carried.

The soldier roared and threw four grenades into the swarm in front of him in one go. The explosion blew up the bugs in front of them and splashed some of the bugs' severed limbs and internal organs mixed with green liquid.

The soldier saw the opportunity, and without raising his head, he rushed forward to the front of the breakthrough of the group. Running in front of the heavy machine gunner, he smiled at the machine gunner who was gritting his teeth and suppressing the recoil of the heavy machine gun with all his strength, and rushed out of the team without hesitation.

The Heavy looked at the soldiers passing by and stopped the machine gun in his hand. The spinning barrel whistled with green smoke, and the machine gunner looked at the soldier's back, silently raised his right hand, which was a little numb from the heavy machine gun, and gave a military salute. An engineer behind the Heavy drops a few more grenades into the bug-infested area.

The effect of these grenades was also very obvious, setting off a sea of fire and drowning the insects. The soldier who rushed forward was also stabbed in the abdomen by the long leg of a giant mantis that had been blown in half. He gritted his teeth, blood from the corners of his mouth, and his feet didn't stop in the pain.

The soldier still moved deeper into the swarm, pulling the fuses of a dozen grenades hanging from his body in both hands. He shouted, "I'm your whole family, these bed bugs! Then he pulled the grenade on his body.

Rumble~~~! Everyone who saw this scene only felt that their eyes were moist, the soldier who did not leave his name gave his life for his comrades, and he also used his body to blast a way in front of the team.

There was no time to mourn, and the heavy machine gunner continued to fire, a tongue of fire erupted from the rapidly spinning muzzle, and the dense fire covered the front of the breakout team, towards the gap that the soldier had blasted with flesh and blood, and everyone was once again advancing at full speed.

After running about a kilometer at full strength, the front of the team now has a circle of bugs protruding. There weren't many bugs left in front of them, only a dozen or so dangling in front of them, trying to stop the humans' advance.

Karin and three other snipers work with the Marines and miners with automatic weapons to eliminate some bugs that are catching up from the side. The Heavy moved to the back of the line, adding firepower to the broken team and dealing with the bugs in hot pursuit.

The troops after the break were the most tragic places in the battle. In addition to giving them a good armor, Clark also gave each of them a violent grenade. The pull tab of the grenade is held tightly in the left hand, and once they are unable to fight, it turns into a human bomb.

The original twelve people after the break are now only six, and the squad leader has also lost two, with the addition of heavy machine gunners, the form is slightly better. But the long and fast running consumed everyone's body, and the strictest were the miners who did not have a battle armor and the three soldiers with heavy machine guns. The bugs behind were in hot pursuit, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

After another kilometer, it has been ten minutes since they left the place surrounded by bugs, and everyone feels extremely heavy on their legs. The ammunition is already almost out. Everyone finished firing a dozen kilograms of ammunition, but they didn't feel any lighter. The previous strafing has turned into a burst fire.

The bugs still didn't give up, and patches of yellow-brown bugs followed them dozens of meters away. They also seem to be exhausted, and these bugs did not expect that the humans surrounded by them would abandon the relatively safe temporary fortress and choose to break through the barren Gobi. The insects that had been surrounding them came one after another, chasing after their prey.

By the time a group of people had run three kilometers, many of the miners were already gasping for air. Their bodies were close to their limits, and they felt like their legs were as heavy as lead. The miners felt that every step forward seemed extremely difficult, and their chests felt as if they were pressed by a large rock, and they were out of breath.

Although everyone ate some artificial protein before breaking through just now, because the original body was inferior to those combat troops, the disadvantage of the miners at the moment was even more obvious.

"You're a miner, you're really lucky!" A voice came from Li De's side, and he bumped into Li De with bad intentions. Pretended to be a stumbling one.

Li De looked back and saw that it was the soldier who had troubled him in the bar. Now the soldier was also sweating profusely, and his eyes were bloodshot, and he was really red-eyed. He was dressed in infantry armor, stained with blood and green liquid, and with an automatic rifle in both hands, he aimed at the front and right, shooting at the bugs that roamed around the perimeter and tried to rush up.

Li De had a bad premonition in his heart.

"You're not dead, how could I die!" Li De was a little impatient, how could he still provoke himself like this at this moment of existential crisis?

"Huh! You miners are almost dead, so let's kill more bugs so we can survive. You just sacrifice it and delay them. The soldier glared at Li De, as if he was not happy to see him.
