Chapter 31, Night Fight 3
Liu Jun gritted his teeth and opened the gate of the fortress. Li De walked out. Under the gaze of everyone in the fortress, he walked into the dark night and faced countless insects alone.
One dodged, and before the two giant mantis at the door could react, Li De threw himself forward, already behind them, and shot extremely fast. The heads of the two giant mantis were blown off and they fell straight down.
The bullets that Li De is now equipped with are armor-piercing blasting shells specifically designed to deal with the Zerg. Its warhead consists of two parts, the first half is an armor-piercing projectile used to pierce through the hard shell of the bug, and the second half is a miniature blasting projectile that can cause secondary damage to the bug's body.
Such an armor-piercing blast is much more effective than ordinary bullets, and basically a few bullets can take out a giant mantis. Of course, the price is also more than ten times that of ordinary bullets.
One by one, the giant mantis was strafed by Li De and fell to the ground, and the insects that gathered on the top of the fortress found Li De. They roared, baring their teeth and claws and rushing towards Li De.
Li De was now looking at the six virtual screens in front of him at the same time, and these were the feeds from the six cameras on the armor. Now Li De didn't know where he got the courage, and he looked at the virtual screen inside the helmet with all his attention. He suddenly felt that his mind was clear, and he had truly seen the six paths.
Quickly dodging the giant mantis's attacks while waiting for an opportunity to fight back, Li De seems to have found a wonderful rhythm in the process.
Dodge, turn, shoot, jump. Li De's muscles tightened, exerting his strength to the extreme, making unbelievable movements.
Seeing Li De's appearance, the other soldiers of Company D were excited. They never thought that one person could do such a thing. Seeing Li De wearing battle armor and dodging and counterattacking in the attack of the bugs, their hearts also boiled.
"Call Lao Tzu! Kill the bugs that are following Li De! We can't drag him down. Frank Lampard shouted. He seems to have found the blood of the year.
"Yes!" More than a dozen people roared, and their morale was even higher. The weapons in their hands erupted with tongues of fire, firing more intensively than before. Even engineer Liu Jun took an automatic rifle and fired at the bugs not far away.
Li De was five meters away from the fortress, constantly circling around the fortress to attract the attention of the insects. At the same time, two automatic rifles in hand have already solved dozens of bugs.
The soldiers inside the fort also concentrated their firepower on the bugs that were following Li De. Countless bugs were beaten into a sieve, and their fallen corpses blocked the insects that came from behind. For a while, the situation on Li De's side eased.
"I don't want you to make trouble!" The company commander said to Liu Jun, who was shooting, "Go and repair the fort!" ”
"Yes! Sir! Hearing this, Liu Jun knew that he had delayed the matter, so he quickly dropped the robbery, picked up the control panel, and controlled the maintenance machine to repair the damage outside the fortress.
Just when Li De and the others were attacked by the Zerg, and Li De was forced to rush out of the fortress, the support troops sent by General Douglas also called the Zerg on fire. General Douglas sent in support of an armored brigade, which also included a number of bipedal mechs and armored vehicles.
Support troops coordinated with the defenders on the ground, temporarily relieving the pressure on the front. At the same time, siege tanks are also beginning to climb, although they move slowly, but soon reach the front line.
"Hurry up! Otherwise, today's efforts will be in vain! We must stand our ground on the high ground! General Douglas shouted over the communicator to the officer commanding the support unit.
If it weren't for the poor vision at night, he would really want to send the air force to help in the war. But he just thought about it, after all, in the dark sky, those bugs could silently approach the fighters in the sky. Air combat is absolutely unwise.
Li De held out outside the fortress alone for more than half an hour, which was already his limit. Because of his high concentration before, he is now mentally limited and in a trance. His body had long passed the limit, and now his muscles began to sore, and he was panting heavily.
The armor on his body was also damaged in many places, and the long legs and acid of the bugs could cause a lot of damage to the light armor. There was also a wound on his back, it was a giant mantis that had just sneaked up behind him and dealt him a hard blow, cutting through the armor on his back and cutting into the flesh, almost hurting his spine.
However, Li De was still gritting his teeth and persevering. From the moment he left the fortress, it was doomed that he would never go back. for the gates of the fortress will no longer be opened for him.
The soldiers in the fortress also looked at Li De with admiring eyes, and some even secretly recorded the battle in the dark night with a battle recorder. Li De's dodge speed began to slow down, and in order to change the magazine, he also lost an automatic rifle, and now he only has one gun, and his attack power is much worse.
"Is this going to be the case, dying?" This thought appeared in Li De's mind. "Nope! Can't give up! ”
"Ahh Li De roared, and his body, which was about to use all his strength, was like being hit by an electric current, and after a sour and numb feeling, it was magically full of power!
The long feet of a giant mantis slashed over, and Li De quickly dodged sideways, holding an automatic rifle in his right hand, and punched the long foot of the saw mantis with his left hand.
The punch erupted with tremendous force and shook the bug. The long legs of the insects, which were so hard that even steel plates could penetrate them, were shattered by this punch.
Seeing this scene, all the people in the fortress were dumbfounded. Originally, they thought that Li De would hold on for a few more minutes at most. And once Li De is killed by the bugs, their fortress will be torn open by the bugs, and they will also not escape the fate of death.
But just when everyone was beginning to despair, they went to see hope.
"So this kid is so powerful? He can't be the legendary superpower, right? A recruit muttered quietly.
"I guess so!" Company Commander Frank Lampard said excitedly, still clutching a handful of beard in his hand, which he had been too nervous to unconsciously frighten. "Hold on, guys, it's saved!"
"Drink!" The soldiers roared, their morale was shocked, and they seemed to be moved by Li De's behavior. Work harder to help Li De clean up the insects that are about to approach.
With the fire support of the recruits inside the fortress, the insect corpses around the fortress increased again. Li De fought alone among the insect swarms, and after another ten minutes, he felt that the power gushing out of his body began to weaken.
When you first feel tired, that's the limit of your physical fitness; And then the power that gushes out is to break through the limit. Now it's the limit of the limit! The wound on Li De's back was numb, but fortunately, the power function of the mecha was still supporting his body, otherwise he would have been spread on the ground.
The insect corpses around the fort have been piled up into a hill, forming a ring around the fort. The corpses of the same kind caused a little obstacle to the insects that came up behind them, but they still followed one after another, as if the waves of the beach were constantly washing away, and there was no end to it.
Looking at the insects that kept coming up, the giant mantis and the hellhounds were scurrying around each other, Li De couldn't help but feel powerless, and felt that he needed strength so much.
Just when Li De was about to despair, he felt that the pressure around him suddenly reduced a lot. Upon closer inspection, the bugs began to move to the side, no longer attacking the fort where their D Company was located.
"What's going on?" Li De was surprised in his heart.
"Support has arrived!" Company Commander Frank Lampard's excited voice was heard over the communicator. The originally rugged bearded even the chief's voice was hoarse and trembling.
"Really? Finally, there is support! Li De let out a long sigh, and his nervous heart began to slowly let go. Through the night vision device, he saw not far behind, rows of mechs and armored vehicles approaching the fortress while firing to clean up bugs.
"You're so capable! Come back quickly, we'll open the back door. The company commander said in the communicator.
"Okay!" Li De punched a big bug away, then quickly turned around and ran in the direction of the back door of the fortress. The surrounding bugs retreated
Click! With a bang, the back door of the fort opened. Li De rushed into the fortress and fell directly to the ground. He gasped for air. Now, he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. The gates of the fortress closed behind him.
"You kid! I didn't expect you to have this hand! Company Commander Frank Lampard was the first to come up and patted him on the shoulder. He originally thought he was dead, but now he is in a nervous mood, and it feels good to pick up a life.
"Thanks to you, we can support until the reinforcements arrive!" A soldier said to Li De, his face stained with tears. It was the tears of excitement that I had just shed when I learned of the arrival of reinforcements, and the tears would make my face full of filth bloom.
"I'll show you the wound, don't move!" Liu Jun also came over, came to Li De's back with a first-aid kit, looked at the bloody wound and said.
Light armor was peeled off piece by piece, like peeling a giant walnut. Many of the deck plates were cracked and damaged, so in order not to hurt Li De, two more female soldiers were hired to help. The three of them carefully said that the armor pieces behind Li De were taken away piece by piece, and sometimes they would get wounds, which was a very long process.
A long wound slowly unfolded in front of everyone's eyes. Seeing this wound, all the recruits present were frightened, and some of the timid recruits just glanced at it, and then looked away, unable to bear to look directly. From Li De's waist to his back, he could only see the shocking flesh and blood that was turned over to both sides, a huge opening of dozens of centimeters, and blood seeping outward.
"Hurry up and contact the medical soldier, there are medical foams and bandages here, help him stop the bleeding and disinfect first, otherwise he will be infected." Liu Jun said. He's still very calm.
Li De lay quietly on the ground, feeling Liu Jun and Frank Lampard help him with his wounds. Li De slowly regained his body, thinking back to the thrilling battle just now. Although the impulse just now almost killed him, he did not regret it, because he did not die and saved the soldiers of Company D.
Feeling the hot eyes of the soldiers around him, lying on the cold floor, Li De felt extremely warm. Frank Lampard and Liu Jun bandaged Lide's wounds. Li De felt that this clumsy bandaging seemed to be the most gentle. The dizziness of blood loss and the exhaustion of the long battle made Li De unable to support it any longer, and he fainted after muttering a few words.
