The battle south of the base city is still in a stalemate.

A number of strange-looking mutated creatures have appeared in the Creature Frenzy. They are burly in physique, and judging by their appearance, they resemble a cross between a bovine-like humanoid and a bloody corpse. These strange creatures run extremely fast, with a strong speed impulse. They slammed into the gates and walls like high-speed trains, kicking up clouds of dust. Despite the reinforcement of the gates and the solidification of the inner layers by engineers at all times, the steel gates made of solid steel plates were still knocked in, leaving a shallow pit that was obvious.

12。 The warhead of a heavy machine gun of 7 mm caliber is lethal to humans. However, they pose a limited threat to megahumanoids, and many pigmen and cattle often require hundreds of bullets to kill. Despite being covered in bullet holes and bleeding all over their bodies, they will still do their best to either unleash the worst impact on the walls, or raise their hands and grasp the walls firmly with their thick fingertips, turning their corpses into ladders for agile creatures to climb up.

Although the human army has the advantage of weapons, technology and terrain, it still feels very difficult and difficult to parry in the face of this kind of fierce fighting style that is not afraid of death and cooperates with an extremely close degree of tacit understanding.

The airship and the Air Force have been restocked three times in a row, and despite the fact that the crew and pilots have rotated their replacements, they still feel extremely tired. The wear and tear of mechanical parts from high-intensity combat is equally enormous. Just a few minutes ago, news came from the airport: the external airbags of six airships were broken, and the engines of three airships were in abnormal condition. They all need to be repaired and cannot be lifted into the air for battle.

Due to the division of different theaters by the Air Force Headquarters, there are only more than 300 fighters in the area under the jurisdiction of the 71 Group Army. The power and bombing range of fragmentation bombs are limited, and in order to prevent the amount of thermal radiation in the combat area from exceeding the specified limit, the aircraft bombing can only be carried out by throwing them over a wide area. In doing so, the number of creature frenzy was reduced to a certain extent, but it was unable to support the battle in the city walls, and could only watch as groups of agile creatures rushed forward, causing chaos among the defending troops.

More and more soldiers were killed in battle, but the southern walls remained impregnable. Despite the precarious situation, the unrelenting defenders remain an insurmountable obstacle for mutant creatures. The only change was that on the ground outside the city, which was originally a minefield, a thick layer of flesh and blood corpses several meters high had been piled up.

The hands on the watch had run past four o'clock in the morning, and the creature frenzy had been more than half wiped out.

Perhaps because they felt that the southern wall could not be breached, some mutated creatures began to shift the direction of their attacks. They spread out along the base of the walls, running rapidly, testing the intensity of the fire they fired from the city with their own bodies and those of their companions. When a certain barrage is sparse and it is obvious that there is a hole to be exploited, the running dogmen, cats, and bloody corpses will immediately retreat into the dark depths that the searchlight cannot reach. Immediately afterward, the giant humanoids quickly gathered and began repeating the same repertoire that had been played on the southern wall.

Just the change in attack position immediately set off a chain reaction.

"Area 39 is in dire need of support."

"Reinforcements are requested for the section of the wall from SE 11 to SE 19. We were attacked by a surprise attack, and there were tens of thousands of mutated creatures besieging us, and we only had one squadron. Hurry, if you don't come, you won't be able to stand it! ”

"Ask for help, we help! Help—"

The tower was filled with distress signals, some of which stopped abruptly as soon as they were issued, followed by terrible screams or short gunshots and explosions over the microphone.

According to Xu Renjie's previous deployment, one by one assault squadron was dispatched to different locations under the commander's deployment. Trucks loaded with soldiers and weaponry sped down the road, and occasionally fleeing civilians or rioters trying to stop them appeared on the street and were immediately shot, or they were simply hit by the trucks and rolled away to the side of the road screaming.

At the southern command post, a tall and thin brigadier general with a nervous expression stared at the surveillance screen, his face was blue.

In order to facilitate command, Xu Renjie set up a temporary command post in a building near the southern city wall. In addition to the two command centers located underground and above ground in the military control area, it is equivalent to the third information hub closest to the front line. After Xu Renjie left, the control of the temporary command post was handed over to this brigadier general, who was under his full control.

The war with mutated creatures is actually a war of attrition. The significance of the existence of the command center is to put reserves into different areas according to the course of the battle situation. On the whole, there are many peacetime floods and levees guarded by thousands of people, and once they find any danger, they immediately send more people to fill the loopholes.

The reserved troops were basically sent out, except for a disgruntled regiment near the southern city wall, and the brigadier general had no extra soldiers in his hands.

A young lieutenant colonel with glasses walked over quickly and handed a telegram he had just received to the brigadier general: "General, an urgent telegram has been sent from the 33rd area in the southeast asking for reinforcements. ”

The brigadier general clubbed his hands on the table, and Yin's eyes quickly found the coordinates of the southeast area No. 33 on the electronic map. He raised his right hand, waved his head without looking back, and responded helplessly: "Zhilu Dao, let them stick to help, we will rush over as soon as possible." ”

The lieutenant colonel was very white-skinned and clearly belonged to civilian officers. He frowned and reminded suspiciously, "General, we don't have any reserves anymore. Although the 609th Regiment is on standby, they are no longer satisfied. The situation at the southern walls is similarly unpleasant, and it is likely to deteriorate rapidly if they are transferred to other locations. ”

The brigadier general looked closely at the round red dots on the screen that represented the emergency signals, nodded fiercely, and asked, "Has Commander Xu been connected there?" Is there any reply from the command center? ”

About ten minutes ago, the brigadier general wanted to contact Xu Renjie to report on the current situation and progress of the battle. After the signal was connected, an unfamiliar lieutenant officer appeared on the screen. He claimed that he was the staff officer on duty at the command center, Xu Renjie was resting in his office, and the relevant information had been conveyed, and the commander would soon take the initiative to contact the temporary command center.

This reply is in line with cleanup, and there is nothing logically wrong with it. When Xu Renjie left the temporary headquarters, he did say that he wanted to go back to the office and be quiet. The brigadier general didn't ask much about this.

The lieutenant colonel officer shook his head: "No"

A hint of suspicion flashed in the brigadier general's eyes.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't catch the exact context.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Renjie would not stay in the office for too long. Especially in a tense time like this, he will certainly not remain silent on the telephony, but should get in touch with him.

The brigadier general was about to call the adjutant of the headquarters to ask what was going on, but was interrupted by a distress signal sent again from Lot 33 in the southeast.

"Repeat! We were the 7th Squadron of the 556th Infantry Regiment, and only twenty-seven people survived in the entire defensive sector. Request support! I would like to ask for support again! We're running out, and this place could be broken by monsters at any moment! ”

The brigadier's face became more and more ugly. After contemplating and thinking for a moment, his expression and gaze suddenly became fierce and cold. He strode over to the hub console, picked up the microphone, turned up the volume, and pressed the call switch hard.

"Attention all personnel of Provisional Command, except for the key personnel of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd communication arrays, all the others immediately assemble downstairs. Complete the team and collect weapons in five minutes, and follow me to Lot 33 in the southeast for reinforcements. ”

The Brigadier General's voice was loud and clear, and immediately caused a stir in the provisional headquarters, and many people had surprised and puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Is there any mistake, why are we being sent up?"

"I'm a confidential staff officer, not a soldier."

"It's in charge of liaison with the airport and other troops outside the city, and with only three people left, it's impossible to take care of everything. At least a few more have to be left, and me. ”

Not all servicemen are warriors. Many of those who heard the order hurried out of the provisional headquarters, while others stood still, turning their heads to each other with indignation, looking at the brigadier general with hostility and fear.

Soon there was a movement of the whole team and the distribution of weapons from downstairs, and more than a dozen people remained in the headquarters without the slightest intention of leaving the room.

The brigadier general gave another order into the microphone with a heavy face: "Thirty seconds later, except for the three confidential officers just mentioned, the rest of the people immediately went downstairs to collect their weapons. ”

His voice was full of majesty and oppression, and there was no room for negotiation.

A good-looking female second lieutenant got up from the communications officer's chair and approached the brigadier general, very nervous, and timidly asked: "General, general, am I going down to participate in the battle too?" ”

The commodore with a cold expression raised his wrist and looked at his watch, but did not speak, but his right hand was pushed towards the leather case worn on his waist.

The female ensign saw the commodore general's movements, and her face suddenly became panicked. She screamed, quickly rounded several desks, and quickly disappeared into the open doorway.

Led by her, some of the people who were watching changed their stance one after another, cursing to themselves while stumbling downstairs.

Four more people did not move. Among them was the young lieutenant colonel who stood next to the brigadier general and had come to report the situation earlier.

He lifted his eyes that had slid slightly on the bridge of his nose, and said with great difficulty: "General, I am a staff officer, a civilian, and I do not belong to the combat establishment. You shouldn't have sent me out. Command needs someone to stay on, and I can stay and keep the communications open. It's also part of the overall operation. ”

The brigadier general, who looked yin, did not speak. He already had the pistol in his hand, his eyes fixed on the watch on his wrist.

To be precise, it should be staring at the constantly moving pointer.

Two heavily armed guards stood behind the brigadier general, their tense faces expressionless, like two inanimate sculptures.

The terrible silence made the lieutenant colonel feel unprecedented fear. He kept crushing his throat, turned his head to look at the other people who were standing not far away, and turned his gaze back again. At the moment when his cheeks turned and the focus of his gaze returned to its original position, the lieutenant colonel suddenly found that the thick caliber gun in the brigadier general's hand had been raised and was facing his eyebrows.

"Uhh

The lieutenant colonel fell in response, and all the parts above his mouth were blown away. The air was filled with the smell of blood and gunsmoke.

The brigadier general lowered his head and dusted off the blood and mud splashed on his clothes with his fingers, raised his foot and stepped over the lieutenant colonel's still convulsive corpse, and as he walked in the direction of the door, he coldly ordered the two guards: "Kill all those who disobey the order." Hurry up, we need to rush over to help. ”

The military situation is urgent and non-negotiable. When the time limit of 30 seconds is up, those who do not comply with the order have only a dead end.

The members of the Provisional Command are mostly civilian. But after all, they are soldiers, and they have been injected with fortifying drugs. Although the number of reinforcements was small, their arrival greatly relieved the combat pressure in the 33rd section of the southeast. Just as the brigadier general and his makeshift team rushed to the city wall and opened fire on the mutated creatures, there were only four people left behind in the area.

The attacks of mutant creatures are getting more and more frenzied.

Their attack routines are still the same as before, but they are very effective. Although reinforcements took over the combined machine guns and heavy machine guns on the city walls in time, it was still difficult to cope with the stormy attack. Hordes of agile humanoids poured onto the walls, only to be crushed by the flamethrowers who fought back in formation. Many of the mutant creatures were covered in flames, rolling back and forth on the ground, screaming in pain.

The beautiful female lieutenant ran out of bullets, threw down her assault rifle, grabbed a carbon tomahawk left by a dead soldier from the side, and slashed wildly at the oncoming bloody corpse. Although the enhancement ability is only second-order, it is enough to deal with the fierce and cruel blood corpse. The terrible monster was split into several pieces on the spot. Just as the female lieutenant turned the direction of her attack and was about to slash at a dog-like humanoid, a gecko man lying on the side of the wall suddenly popped out her tongue and stuck to the female lieutenant's beautiful curly long hair. The terrible stickiness was like asphalt poured down from her head and face, and the female lieutenant struggled desperately, letting out a hoarse scream. A soldier next to her hurriedly rushed over to help, only to see her being dragged by the gecko man and "snorting", tearing off a large piece of skin with a head.

The wound was so large that it stretched from the back of the head to the forehead. The female lieutenant screamed, threw away her tomahawk, covered her bloody head with both hands, and continued to pull the cracked skin along her forehead, bringing out the eyeball in her right eye socket, and finally detached from her face on the side of her nose, leaving a shocking red blood mark.

The brigadier turned the muzzle of his gun and fired a point, and the gecko man who had just swallowed the bloody scalp and jumped over from the wall, and was about to bite the female ensign's neck, slammed down the wall. He rushed to the dying ensign, tore open a first-aid kit, plugged the poor woman's wound with a large ball of cotton wool, took out another morphine and quickly completed the injection, and yelled at a soldier who had just run over: "Take her down quickly, you have to make sure she lives!" ”

Before the words fell, the brigadier general only felt that his body was hit by a huge force. His eyes widened suddenly, and he lowered his head to see a thick, sharp spike piercing his left shoulder, piercing his entire body. The tip of the spike is dripping with blood and fresh musculature.

The brigadier general's face suddenly flushed with rage, and with a beastly roar, he held back the sharp pain, raised his injured shoulder, and put his right hand under his armpit, dragging the sneak attacker behind him fiercely.

It was a mosquito-like humanoid. Its mouthparts have undergone a secondary mutation, with sharp serrations appearing at the edges, attacking its prey while releasing digestive juices to dissolve the target, producing fleshy pus that can be sucked by them.

"Kill them all! Don't let one go—"

The brigadier general's character had always been heavy, and the severe injury caused him to burst out with unimaginably powerful force. The mosquitooid was smashed with a few punches, and the brigadier injected himself with a dose of morphine with his backhand, gasping for breath and pounced on the gun mount, grabbing the powerful multi-barreled cannon and shooting at the mutated creatures that surged up the wall. Clusters of bullets flew at alarming speeds, creating a partition of mutated creatures at the top of the walls. In the face of the madness and tyranny that cannot be described in words, thousands of bullets were all fired in just a few tens of seconds. In the short time between changing the chains, a majestic roar that only a man could utter rang out from the head of the city.

It is true that the combat power of enhanced humans is higher than that of mutated creatures. However, in the face of absolute quantitative superiority, the quality comparison is obviously inferior. The favorable situation created by the brigadier general's bravery lasted less than ten minutes, and the thousands of monsters that swarmed from under the city once again filled the void, frantically pounced on the few remaining defenders from all directions.

The side towers have been stormed. Hundreds of monsters poured into the narrow space at the top of the tower, tearing the two soldiers who were guarding it to pieces on the spot. Broken organs and body stumps were thrown from the air, and mutant creatures even lifted their cannon and threw it from the top of the tower hundreds of meters high.

A badly wounded captain grabbed two fragmentation grenades and roared into the creature frenzy with an earth-shattering explosion.

A soldier who had lost his right arm hugged the dogoid who was biting in front of Xiong, opened his mouth with mutilated teeth, and bit down hard at his throat, tearing off a large piece of flesh and tearing out Bai Sensen's bones.

The Brigadier General was covered in blood, he threw away the multi-barreled cannon that had run out of bullets, and stood alone at the top of the city wall with his battleaxe already curled, panting heavily, staring at the ferocious and violent monsters in front of him with a twisted face.

He felt like his body was numb, and a lot of blood was lost from his body. Nearby, only a few gun mounts are still firing. The ground was covered with blood and corpses. There are people of their own, and there are monsters.

Damn, I'm dying.

Lao Tzu was unwilling.

Lao Tzu can still move, and he can fucking kill a few more.

Thinking of this, the brigadier general "hey, hey, hey" smiled strangely, and slowly moved forward with a limp. The dragged axe slashed across the ground with a tooth-aching sound.

Just as the brigadier general was about to pick up his axe and launch the most rear-end impact, the night sky above his head suddenly heard the roar of the "rumbling" engine.

(To be continued!)
