Chapter Seven, Heroes?

The entire breakout team paid for the lives of three team members before they ran past the mine.

There are more and more bugs in front, and the pressure on the heavy machine gunners running in front is also increasing. The dense swarm was difficult to penetrate, the speed of the team slowed down, and the giant mantis on both sides slowly approached.

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 took his ammunition, knew what he was going to do, and nodded at him with tears in his eyes. The soldier roared and threw four grenades into the swarm in front of him in one go. The booming explosion blew up the bugs in front of them and made them untenable. The soldier rushed forward, ran in front of the heavy machine gunner, and threw a few more grenades into the bug-infested area. This effect is even more pronounced, and a sea of fire overwhelms the insects. But the soldier was also stabbed in the abdomen by the long legs of a giant mantis. Gritting his teeth, 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, the heavy machine gunners quickly covered with fire, and the ranks again advanced at high speed.

After running about a kilometer at full strength, there were now not many bugs left in front of the team, and Karin and three other snipers worked with the marines with automatic weapons to eliminate some of the bugs that were chasing from the side. The Heavy also moved to the back of the group, 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. The long and fast running consumed everyone's body, and the strictest were the miners who did not have a power 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 shot, and the bugs are chasing closer.

"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. Li De looked back and saw that it was the soldier who had troubled him in the gym. Now the soldier was also sweating profusely, with blood stains and green liquid, holding an automatic rifle, and firing bugs from the back and side.

"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 just unhappy with him.

"Why are you targeting me?" Li De didn't understand. He didn't want to get into conflict with others at this time.

"Why? It's just because Lao Tzu doesn't like you Chinese people. As he spoke, his foot lifted slightly, tripping Li De and stumbling, and Li De fell heavily to the ground and rolled twice.

When Li De fell, his eyes looked straight at the man. The soldier who tripped over Li De did not feel uneasy, but smiled. Li De's heart was full of unwillingness and anger, both human beings and both fugitives, why did this guy have to put himself to death? Perhaps in that person's opinion, Li De was just another victim in this war. After being accustomed to killing and dying, life is as fragile as a bubble.

After running two kilometers, most of the miners were exhausted. Seeing Li De falling, everyone also thought that this young man should be physically exhausted. After all, he had been injured before, and it seemed that he couldn't survive this wave. Several people ran past Li De and did not stop to help Li De.

Li De knew that he had to leave and get up, and only by continuing to move forward could he have any hope of survival. He didn't dare to lie on the ground any longer, struggling to get up. However, he is in a very bad state at the moment. The previous injury was also faintly painful, Li De only felt that his right hand and two knees were hot, and he only relied on his left hand to support his body.

At this time, a giant praying mantis quietly approached, and it had already reached behind Li De, opening its huge mouthparts and facing Li De's body. Li De saw it from the shadow on the ground, gritted his teeth, used his hands and feet together, and rushed out half a meter away to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal bite.

The giant mantis missed the blow, and stretched out its long feet to grab Li De. Two sharp claws, if clawed, can pierce and tear a person apart. Li De turned around and looked in horror at the bugs that pounced on him.

"Ah~~!" Li De let out a roar of fear and despair.

Bang~! A gunshot rang out.

Burst! The giant mantis's head is blown out. Bug-green body fluids splattered, and some splashed onto Li De's body and gaping mouth. The sticky feeling made Li De nauseous. The giant mantis's huge body fell on Li De, holding him down.

It was Karin who saved Lide, who shot the bug's head open. Then she ran towards him, and the members of Karin's team followed her.

Karin ran to Li De's side first, put down the sniper rifle, and struggled to lift the body of the giant mantis. A large insect weighing hundreds of pounds was lifted by her. Karin's assistant, Heinrich, reached out and pulled Lee up, ready to carry him on.

Just then, two giant mantis spotted them and pounced on several members of Karin's team from both sides. The black man's heavy machine gun had long since run out of ammunition, and now several of them were using automatic rifles, firing back at the insects that rushed up.

"Brother~!" One of the blonde soldiers of Karin's squad shouted. The two bugs that pounced, one of which had been beaten into a hornet's nest and died two meters away, the other was very close, and before dying, a sharp claw pierced one of the blondes in Karin's team. Pierced through the chest by bugs, there was no fear in the eyes of the blonde warrior. He looked at his younger brother, the two were chosen by Karin together, and they usually have a very good relationship, but now they are different people. But he does not regret it, he has long given his life to the army.

The soldier who lost his brother frantically shot the dead bug to vent his anger. Karin also felt remorse and self-blame, after all, the members of his team were all selected and trained by him, and his feelings were quite good. But now is not the time of sorrow, the black man pulls the blonde soldier, Heinrich carries Reed, and under the cover of Karin's sniper rifle, continues to move forward, keeping up with the fleeing party.

From the breakout to the present, a few kilometers down. The bugs chasing behind had become scarce, and there were only a dozen people left in the fleeing team. When I broke through, there were more than 30 people.

Clark and the broken team, the power armor on their bodies had already been damaged, and Clark reluctantly gave up the armor. If there is no power assistance, just wearing a few tens of kilograms of armor is a burden.

Clark was dragging Kleeman at this time, and Kliman was already out of breath. His lieutenant had been killed in battle, and only two squad leaders were still around. There was not much ammunition left, so they could only shoot at the bugs chasing them one by one. The bugs are also nimble, and it's not easy to hit, but sporadic shots slow them down.

The miners have reached their limits, and now there are only two miners who can hold on except for Li De. After being carried by Heinrich for a while, Lide also gritted his teeth and ran on his own, although there was a pain in his feet and knees, but he no longer wanted to bother others.

The Marines were obviously much better than the miners, and they were the main force in this breakthrough. Including the soldier who tripped Li De, there are still five surviving fighters. They are now close to running out of ammunition, so they can only save ammunition and do some sporadic strikes.

Flee to a distance of ten kilometers, which is already very close to the forward base of humanity. In the end, the two miners did not check it out, ran to the point of dying of breath, and fell to the ground. There were also two marines, who were attacked by insects from the side, one had his neck bitten off, and the other had his leg cut off, and it was the soldiers who tried to harm Li De. Seeing him hugging his thighs and crying and looking at himself, Li De did not have the slightest pity in his heart. It is precisely that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded, it is not that it is not repaid, but the time has not come.

At this time, there was a roar in the sky, and several laser beams and aviation shells fell from the sky and fell on the bugs. That's the human air force, and the ghost fighters feel it. The appearance of the fighter plane made the fleeing team finally see hope, and for a while their hearts were excited, and everyone cheered up and ran forward again. At this time, it was as if all the previous fatigue had been swept away.

A few minutes later, a convoy approached and stopped in front of everyone. A dozen Marines got out of the car and supported their exhausted comrades. Li De finally felt a little relaxed, and there was a feeling of coming home.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect you guys to run back." In the car, a soldier looked at Li De and the others who had fled, and showed a look of adoration.

"Hey~! Bies and dudes always survive, don't they? Karin joked, and everyone was much calmer.

"You will be heroes on the front lines!"

"No, we're not heroes. I've seen real heroes, though. Looking at the direction of escape, Li Deyan said. There was a sudden heavy atmosphere in the car, and the setting sun dyed everything golden.
