Chapter 35: Scavenging on the Battlefield

The gunfire stopped.

The arrival of the armed attack helicopter sang the last note of this night battle, and as the last ant worm struggled to die, only the torrential rain and the dull sound of bombing and thunder were left between heaven and earth.

From time to time, lightning burst out with a miserable white light, reflecting the bloody mouth of the mountain valley.

The blood discolored the mud, the stumps and broken arms spread all over the field of vision, and as far as the eye could see, there were even some monsters that were not dead and their limbs were still trembling, and in the face of absolute firepower superiority, the flesh and blood obviously could not withstand the baptism of the metal storm.

The rain was still falling, and the water evaporating from the ocean was released on the land, pouring on the barrels of the guns, making a sizzling sound and bursts of white steam.

Won?

Victory, there was a cheer in my ears, and with the strength of a company to resist the impact of a large army of monsters, this cannot but be said to be a victory worth celebrating.

But......

Ling Hao didn't laugh, the raindrops fell on his cold face, flowing down his cheeks into his neck and soaking his combat uniform, but they couldn't cool his hot beating heart.

In this battle, almost all the monsters in the mountains were gathered, but they were still defeated.

The tragic death of the monsters may boost the morale of the army unprecedentedly, but obviously, in this 'savage wasteland' alternate plane, the dead are just minions at the bottom of the food chain, and the more powerful existences have not yet been encountered by the four major legions.

Flesh and blood, of course, can't resist the metal storm.

No matter how thick the fat muscle is, it can't stop the penetration of the warhead, meat is meat after all, and it can never be compared with metal.

Throwing down the disposable launcher on his shoulder, Ling Hao sat on the muddy ground and rubbed his right shoulder a little dejectedly, especially the shoulder blades, collarbone, chest and other parts.

Reaching into his trouser pocket with his left hand, Ling Hao took out a blood-red energy crystal and held it in his mouth.

The dry throat soon ushered in a refreshing sensation, and the taste buds felt the sweetness of the mint, with a hint of sweetness, slowly infiltrating the hot body along the esophagus, and soon making the limbs feel a sense of detachment.

However, this feeling did not last long, and a shout suddenly came.

"Ling Hao, let's go!"

Luo Wei stood beside the car wearing a raincoat and beckoned, Ling Hao didn't care about feeling comfortable for the time being, picked up the anti-materiel sniper rifle on the ground and immediately ran over.

"Take it, let's clean up the battlefield together!"

Luo Wei threw over an assault rifle, Ling Hao hurriedly caught it, buckled the sniper rifle safety behind his back, and followed the assault rifle in front of the team to clean up the battlefield.

The squad leader, Tang Bin, was at the forefront, holding a sensor in his hand that could detect anti-tank mines that had not detonated, but it was clear that he was purely overthinking.

In a relatively clean area where the monsters were trodden, not a single mine was left, and they all automatically identified the threat of attack, and exploded to kill the monster in an instant.

The ground was very muddy, not because the rain soaked the soil, but because there was too much flesh and blood, big or small, and stepping on it could squeeze out a lot of blood, and the result was naturally that the combat boots under his feet were quickly bloody.

The stench was terrible, and although the flesh and blood of the monsters were fresh, there was always an unbearable fishy smell.

But no one covered their noses, especially Ling Hao.

His keen vision has been looking for possible energy crystals, and not far ahead, the two flesh bodies that crushed the barbed wire fence are crocodile behemoths, their heads have been completely shattered, and red and white things are dripping to the ground.

Two armed attack helicopters hovered in the air, bright white lights illuminated the devastated and bloody land, and several monsters that were still struggling were quickly strafed by a few bullets and completely died, and there was no suitable place to stay on the bloody surface.

With a chirp, Guo Rui, who was walking in front, accidentally stepped into the tattered chest cavity of a ghoul, and his combat boots were stuck on his sternum, and the foul smell of blood was quickly soaked, extremely disgusting.

"Spicy next door, this is so disgusting!"

Guo Rui raised his feet, but he couldn't shake them off, but instead threw a body of blood on the hem of his trousers.

Before the words fell, Tang Bin in front of him accidentally stepped into the blood pit, and the slippery animal skin and flesh stepped on it, and even the combat boots couldn't stop slipping.

The same is true for several other squads, as if they have entered a bloody quagmire, and there are all kinds of sharp shrapnel, which is not low.

The most important goal of cleaning the battlefield is to completely annihilate the monsters that are not dead, and the second task is to find monsters that have never been seen before, and then collect biological samples, that is, to put a lump of meat into a plastic bag.

Everyone was busy identifying whether there were any new monsters, while Ling Hao was busy looking for energy crystals.

"Ling Hao, what are you doing tossing that thing, it's so disgusting!"

Luo Wei saw that Ling Hao was very close, carefully looking through the two crocodile beasts that had fallen on the barbed wire, he looked completely like a biologist who admired specimens, and more like a doctor who examined the patient's injuries, too focused.

Ling Hao didn't care what the smell was, he directly used his hand to pick into the brain cavity of the crocodile giant beast, the touch of the hand was slimy, the feel was warm, and the taste was fishy.

There were a lot of fragments of shrapnel that penetrated the flesh and skull and entered the brain, and after groping around, the fingers were cut, but the energy crystal was still not found.

Just when Ling Hao was about to withdraw his hand and give up, his fingers touched a hard place, and he pulled it out fiercely, bringing out a lot of fishy and smelly sticky red and white things, and under the viscous white, it turned out to be an orange energy crystal with a pretty good color.

Ling Hao hurriedly rummaged through the other end, and almost dug out another orange energy crystal in the same brain cavity, the color was also bright and extremely pure.

Ignoring the cleaning up, Ling Hao put them in his trouser pocket and followed the team to continue searching.

"Hey, what the hell is this?"

Tang Bin, who was walking in the front, suddenly spoke, hunched his waist and picked up an energy crystal the size of a red date in the blood water, but he didn't know what to do.

"Hey, brothers, do you think this is a legendary diamond?"

"I'll go, squad leader, you're too dazzled, right?"

Guo Rui rushed over in two steps, snatched the energy crystal from Tang Bin's hand, and was not too dirty, so he directly squatted on the ground and washed it in the blood water.

Soon, the blood-red and clear color of the energy crystal, as well as the faint warmth of the touch, made everyone curious.

"This is definitely not a diamond, although we have slings, but the diamond ring has also been seen, the white rich and beautiful ring, isn't it all white and bright?"

Luo Wei also joined the gossip team, or the knowledgeable Liao Yuanhang seemed to be more professional, he could both drive and practice medicine, he took the energy crystal, and as soon as he illuminated it with a strong tactical flashlight, he closed the coffin.

"I'm sure it's a red crystal!"

"Mom, I found a treasure in a fight!" Guo Rui was overjoyed, dragged it over, weighed it in the palm of his hand with a smile, and completely thought that he had found a treasure.

Liao Yuanhang laughed and almost bent over with laughter.

"Damn, do you think this thing is worth a lot? Rub, just a few dozen yuan, ordinary quartz, but the color is blood red, you think it's a good thing, labor and management order a truck for you online in minutes! ”

"Cut, it's this!"

Guo Rui immediately looked displeased, and threw away the energy crystal without asking Tang Bin's opinion, Tang Bin didn't react, obviously acquiescing.

Everyone continued to move forward, Ling Hao walked behind the most abandoned, bowed down and picked up the abandoned energy crystal, this scene happened to be seen by Luo Wei who turned back.

Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned around, but he didn't see anything.

As soon as Ling Hao dug out an orange thing from the head of the crocodile beast, which was almost a 'crystal stone', he felt that Ling Hao was very abnormal.

Thinking of being on Crescent Island before, after the war, Ling Hao seemed to be looking around for rags, Luo Wei always felt that Ling Hao had some secret hidden in his heart.

Slowing down his pace, he covered Mike with his hands and asked in a low voice, "Ling Hao, what kind of big treasure is it?" ”

Ling Hao was just about to speak, Luo Wei said again: "Don't talk nonsense to me about what to commemorate, just your family's hundreds of billions of assets, you can't buy anything, honestly tell my brother, what is this thing worthy of your rarity." ”

Since the first landing battle, after Ling Hao fell into a daze, Luo Wei felt as if Ling Hao had changed his head, not only did his marksmanship be better, but his performance on the battlefield was even better than that of a veteran.

Calm, tenacious, tenacious and has an amazing ability to work under pressure......

There are many feelings that Luo Wei can't describe, and there are many doubts that he can't understand.

The god of billions of dollars has a good life, but he has also become a 'scavenger' on the battlefield, Luo Wei has to sigh in his heart, how many unknown secrets there are in front of Ling Hao.

Wiping the red energy crystal clean, Ling Hao smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, when I have all 8 pieces, I will tell you!" ”

Luo Wei nodded reluctantly, and then, he didn't bother to collect any broken specimens, there was rotten meat and minced meat everywhere, and he couldn't tell how many varieties of monsters were mixed, but he mysteriously persuaded several other people to find crystal stones together.

"I'll go, the dignified Ling Shao's family has more than 100 million yuan, and he is still interested in this kind of!"

Although Guo Rui talked a lot, his ability to do things was undoubted, and he was quick with his hands and feet, and soon dug out a dark red energy crystal from the head of the two-headed python.

The whole class endured the nausea, searched everywhere and tossed around, and the hard work paid off, and a large number of large monsters were annihilated in this battle, especially the tonnage level of the Baron, almost all of which had red energy crystals.

What really satisfied Ling Hao was that he found two thumb-sized orange energy crystals from the broken brain of the two-headed python that had been exploded.

This two-headed python was the last to be killed, and it was the only one who was only slightly injured in the fight with the crocodile beast, and its combat power can be imagined.

Soon, Tang Bin and the others also found some energy crystals from the broken heads of other double-headed pythons one after another, but the color was not very good, and the brightest blood-red one was only the size of a thumb, but it was better than nothing.

After the battlefield was 'cleaned', the guns were given a few shuttles, so that there was not a single monster left, but because of the so-called 'red crystal' everywhere, everyone in the class was slimy in their trousers, and the combat boots were no longer black at all, but turned into sticky scarlet.

Back in front of the infantry fighting vehicle, everyone inevitably had a foul smell, but the harvest was quite rich, and after counting, there were 15 energy crystals that were almost different in color and size, which was completely enough for Ling Hao to explain to the class what the misunderstood energy crystals were for.

However, a strange order from the company headquarters caught Ling Hao by surprise.
