Chapter 148: The Scene of the Massacre
Outside the mouth of the cave, the terrifying storm of terror had long since passed, the dark clouds of the cautious sky were gone, and the sky above the poles had regained its eerie blue color. It's just that under this sky, the mining camp used to temporarily hold the officers and soldiers of the Sturm fleet has become a ruin at this moment, just like the city of Tico that has been bombarded by the main artillery of nuclear energy, and the scene is extremely shocking and miserable.
Almost without exception, seven or eight camps, large and small, which had been protected by protective shields made of tempered glass, were razed to the ground, along with the passages connecting the camps. Inside the barracks, among the ruins of the steel armor plates, there were corpses of officers and soldiers of the blue-and-white Space Fleet everywhere. These poor soldiers were either killed by the poisonous spring gas, or by the collapsed buildings or stones falling from the sky. Although it is not a river of blood, the tragic situation of the soldiers when they died is enough to shock any normal person.
"Commander?" After coming out of the escape passage dug by Haoyi, Sturm and the others have been sitting in the cockpit of the SCV mecha, quietly watching the tragic scene in front of them through the translucent tempered glass window. Although he couldn't see Sturm's expression, Haoyi knew that as the commander of these innocent officers and soldiers, Sturm must be extremely sad at this time. Seeing that Sturm didn't make a sound for a long time, Haoyi couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he shouted tentatively in a low voice.
"More than 5,600 living dragons and tigers, just like that, they are gone......" Hearing Hao Yi's shout, Sturm let out a heavy sigh in the communication channel of everyone's mecha. Anyone could tell that his tone was so mournful. This middle-aged man, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is accustomed to life and death, must be dripping blood in his heart at this moment.
"Condolences, Commander!" Guo Ling on the side hurriedly persuaded him. Although he was not a real officer of Sturm's fleet, as a fellow officer, Guo Ling could naturally clearly feel Sturm's grief.
"Otherwise, let's look around, maybe there are some surviving officers and soldiers!" Seeing that Sturm fell into silence again, Guo Ling's heart moved, and he found an excuse to try not to let Sturm be too immersed in sadness.
"Alright! Then work in pairs and scatter to find out! After a moment of silence, Sturm's tired-sounding voice finally sounded in the communication system, and the SCV mecha numbered KJ2049 slowly turned around, revealing Sturm's resolute face.
"Yes, Commander!" Haoyi and the others hurriedly answered in a loud voice, and then they dispersed in groups of two, trying to find some officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to survive among the ruins. However, this hope seems to be so slim that it is equivalent to the probability of a comet hitting the Earth. Even if some officers and soldiers were able to dodge the Black Devil Storm in the first place, the camp without the shield could not continue to provide oxygen for them to breathe. The methane atmosphere on the planet SP02, although not as deadly as the Spolin gas, is enough to kill these officers and soldiers in a short period of time.
Unless there is a possibility, some officers and soldiers who are lucky enough to hide in an intact and enclosed building, relying on the small amount of oxygen stored in the building to survive. However, judging from the almost completely destroyed camps in front of them, this possibility is also quite slim.
"Boom!" Haoyi drove the mecha, smashed open the door of a half-collapsed house, turned on the bright spotlights and glanced at it, only to see that it was filled with dozens of officers and soldiers who had died of suffocation like canned sardines. Glancing at the tragic situation of these officers and soldiers, Hao Yi sighed lightly, and retreated from the gap that was smashed open, such a scene is almost impossible for anyone to live.
"How? Are there any survivors? There was a sonorous movement of the mecha behind him, Guo Ling drove another SCV and walked over and asked lightly.
"Either stoned, smoked, or suffocated!" Hao Yi muttered, then turned off the communication system in the cockpit, turned on the external speakers of the mecha, and whispered to Guo Ling: "I said Colonel, according to the current situation, the vast majority of the officers and men of the Sturm fleet have no hope of surviving. And the members of the assault team we organized here, I guess they're almost all hiccups by now! What to do? Are we going to continue with that jihua or is it something else? ”
"Hey, when I was trapped in the cave, I started thinking about it, but I can't figure it out!" Guo Ling sighed lightly and said.
"If you want me to say, it's better to ...... directly" Haoyi manipulated the mecha to take a step forward, and was about to whisper to Guo Ling, but at this time, the on-board communication system was forcibly bounced away, and Sturm's anxious voice came.
"Captain Guo Lin, you two come and take a look!"
Haoyi and Guo Ling were stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly manipulated the mecha to rush towards Sturm's location. The KJ2049 SCV that Sturm was riding in was standing in front of a small low warehouse, and next to him were the SCVs piloted by several other soldiers. The small warehouse didn't look like it had been destroyed by the Devil's Storm, and although it was a little distorted in shape, it was generally in good condition. However, the door of this small warehouse was open at the moment, and there was a faint smell of blood wafting from inside.
"What's wrong, Commander?" Guo Ling hurried to Sturm's side and asked curiously.
"Check it out!" Sturm didn't say much, brandished a mecha big electric drill and pointed to the warehouse door and said to Guo Ling.
Looking at Sturm's gloomy face reflected in the translucent cockpit window, Guo Ling's heart couldn't help jumping, and he hurriedly manipulated the mecha to hold on to the upper edge of the warehouse door and poked the upper body with the cockpit in. At first glance, Guo Ling was stunned for a while.
"What's going on?" Haoyi on the side was shocked when he saw Guo Ling poking back into the fuselage from the warehouse gate, and couldn't help but ask curiously. Seeing that Guo Ling was stunned and didn't reply, he was anxious, so he also went in to take a look. This look also scared Haoyi.
Although this warehouse was also filled with officers and soldiers who had taken emergency refuge, it was clear that these soldiers did not die of suffocation. The warehouse was filled with the corpses of countless officers and men of the fleet as if it had undergone a massacre. These officers and soldiers were all fatally wounded by some guns and cannons, and there were pools of blood on the ground with faint residual warmth, and broken arms, stumps, brains, intestines, and pieces of flesh and blood were everywhere, and they were like a purgatory on earth.
Haoyi glanced at it a few times, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly drilled out, looked at Sturm and then at Guo Ling, opened his mouth, and seemed to say something, but he didn't know where to start for a while.
"Did you just find out, Commander?" It was Guo Ling who broke the suffocating silence and asked Sturm softly.
"Just when I called you over!" Sturm was in the cockpit, nodding blankly.
Obviously, the officers and soldiers in this warehouse must have escaped the polar devil storm by luck, and then were slaughtered and killed by unidentified armed men using guns and other hot weapons. But who are these armed men? They weishenme want to kill these surviving officers and soldiers? These two questions are almost equally lingering in the minds of Sturm and others.
When the thousands of officers and men of the Sturm fleet, including the members of the ghost Jihua assault team of Hao Yi and others, were escorted down from the battleship, all the hot weapons on their bodies had been confiscated, and even the combat daggers used for personal self-defense were also searched by the gendarmes. It can be concluded that the murderers will definitely not be their own people.
Before the polar devil storm came, the gendarmes who were heavily armed to guard the officers and men of the Sturm fleet had already fled back to the headquarters base in personnel carriers. They were clearly afraid to come back until the storm had passed. According to Sturm's thoughts, after the storm is over, Copolo will definitely send a rescue team to rescue the surviving officers and soldiers.
Wasn't the rescue team sent by Copolo? Rather, some combat detachments that carry out the mission of killing people and destroying mouths? Or maybe the rescue team didn't come at all, but there was another mysterious armed shili hidden in the mine? For a moment, Sturm's head was a mess, and he couldn't figure out a clue.
"Commander, we have a situation here!" At this moment, an emergency call from another team was heard in the SCV team's communication system. Shocked when Sturm and the others heard this, they quickly turned around and ran wildly in the direction where the group was.
The team also discovered a massacre site. About 100 officers and soldiers were crammed into a building slightly larger than the small warehouse in Shicai, almost all of them covered with the wounds of the spike rifles, and they were equally shocking and miserable.
"Keep looking!" Sturm manipulated the mech, wielding his thick arm equipped with a steel fork and slamming it into a pile of ruins, his eyes red and his teeth gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates in a hateful voice.
Moments later, they discovered two more massacres that were almost identical. Seeing that these subordinates who could have survived actually ended up with such a tragic death, Sturm finally couldn't help but roar angrily: "Find me!" Find it for me! Damn, I don't believe that there is no one left alive! ”
"Calm down, Your Excellency, Commander!" Seeing that this was wrong, Guo Ling hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Sturm and said: "There is not much energy left of these SCV mechas, if you don't manage to escape from this ghost place as soon as possible, then I'm afraid that the next ones to die will be those of us!" ”
Hearing Guo Ling's words, Sturm's expression froze, and after being stunned for a moment, he finally gasped helplessly and slowly calmed down.
"I said Lieutenant, what are you looking at?" Guo Ling wanted to continue to comfort Sturm, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the KJ2053SCV driven by Hao Yi actually squatting on the ground, looking at something.
"Lao Guo, you'd better come and have a look!" Hearing Guo Ling's question, Haoyi replied lightly. Guo Ling was stunned for a moment, glanced at Sturm, and then hurriedly leaned over.
"Look closely at these footprints!" Haoyi pointed to the footprints left on the ruins, and said to Guo Ling and the others: "These footprints are obviously left by the combat boots of the CMC Marine Battle Armor, and judging from the clarity of the footprints, this is just left after the storm has passed!" ”
"Don't guess, if you can kill so many officers and soldiers in an instant, the opposite side must be a well-armed person. It is very likely that it is the gendarmes who were subordinate to the fleet headquarters before! Haoyi's words seemed to confirm Sturm's thoughts even more. The fleet commander let out a long sigh, as if he had suddenly aged a lot.
"Commander, there seems to be a locomotive in the mountain pass ahead!" At that moment, a soldier suddenly shouted loudly in the communication system.
