Chapter 72 The Color of Hope
"FN-021 has arrived at the designated location. ”
One of the pilots turned his head to look out the window, and below was a scorching battlefield.
Unlike ordinary warfare, the human opponent is just a swarm of giant ants, and those soldiers do not only use thermal weapons, but also many paranormal people, and colorful lights are flying in the sky, full of mystery like a science fiction movie.
In addition to the 120mm armor-piercing bullets, which can barely cause damage to the ant colony, the assault rifles in the hands of the soldiers, even the sniper rifles, cannot even break through the carapace on the back of the mutant beast. If it weren't for the presence of a supernatural person in front of him, it is estimated that the temporarily established defense line would have already been broken.
It happened two days ago, as the climate changed, and an ant colony began to divide its nests.
In the beginning, it was only reported that a large number of mutant beasts were pouring out of the forest. Mutant beasts are not scary, and with the deepening of research, humans already have a way to deal with mutant beasts.
And with the appearance of the Anomalous, the official was pleasantly surprised to find that the role of the Adeptus on the battlefield even exceeded that of high-tech weapons.
But they didn't find the ant tide hiding behind the herd. After the blue aurora, the satellite monitoring seemed to be interfered with, unable to capture the situation in the forest at all, and every time the picture was transmitted, it was only pitch black.
It was only when the ant tide breached the first blockade that the authorities realized the seriousness of the matter. Large numbers of heavily armed troops rushed to the periphery of the blockade zone and clashed head-on with the migrating ant tides.
At this moment, an emotionless voice came from the pilot's headphones.
"The mission objective has changed, please reach the new coordinates and carry out the escort mission. ”
FN-021 understood. ”
The fighter plane, which was originally going to carry out a precision strike mission, turned around and flew away, almost killing the commander on the ground.
"Sir, there's news from above that the support strike has been canceled. ”
"What! It's all flying overhead, just go!" the commander angrily slammed his fist on the electronic sandbox.
Although the ants are small, they are surprisingly powerful. When they become as large as porcupines, ants are no longer at the mercy of others, but a torrent capable of crushing everything.
The fighter jet passed through the clouds, and below it, two transport helicopters, were heading deep into the forest.
At this moment, a small plane passed by the helicopter. A small missile dragged its long tail and flew towards a corner of the forest.
The missile plunged headlong into the ground, but when it was still a few hundred meters from the ground, the missile began to slow down.
The thruster went out, and a parachute popped out of the missile's body, slowly placing the missile on the ground.
Then a red cloud of smoke rose into the air, and it was clearly discernible more than ten kilometers away.
More than ten kilometers away, in a forest, two thin figures moved step by step.
They don't know where they are, where they are going, or even how long they will continue to sleep in the open.
These two people are Zhang Tie and Xiao Wenxuan, who escaped from the institute. As the object of research, Zhang Tie couldn't turn a blind eye to this girl.
Xiao Wenxuan didn't know what was wrong with this world, as if she had completely changed as soon as she woke up. At first, it was a group of people in white coats, let her do all kinds of examinations, get through the initial fear, Xiao Wenxuan slowly became numb, like a puppet at the mercy of others.
Xiao Wenxuan could see the disappointment in the eyes of those people, and the scientists quickly lost interest in her, and after Zhang Tie was sent in, she ignited the enthusiasm of those scientists again.
Until one day, the lab is filled with shrill alarms, and the scientists are gone, replaced by a group of unknown beasts.
Just when she was almost buried in the mouth of the beast, Zhang Tie appeared, an old man with a simple appearance, who actually released a large area of flames with his hands.
In Xiao Wenxuan's time, even the hottest magic movies were not so exaggerated.
By the time the two escaped from the institute, the city was in disarray, with the streets littered with giant beasts and wildly growing plants.
The aurora in the sky even made Xiao Wenxuan think that she had come to heaven or hell!
From time to time, survivors drove out of the city, only to be caught and eaten by the mutants.
Until the two of them were lost in the depths of the forest, Xiao Wenxuan still couldn't digest everything he saw in front of him. A huge eagle like a dark cloud swept over the sky, setting off a gust of air comparable to that of a typhoon. Although it can't be compared with the legendary Kunpeng, it definitely can't appear in reality.
She had even seen a cyan dragon with four claws swallow the panicked elephant in one gulp.
It wasn't until I heard Zhang Tie talk about the past that I knew that all these changes had only recently appeared.
Xiao Wenxuan accidentally tripped over the rhizome of a giant tree, and when she slowly got up, she found that Zhang Tie was looking up at the sky in a daze.
Following his gaze, a meteor flew towards them, causing the girl to crouch on the ground with her head in her hands and scream.
However, the expected explosion did not come, and a moment later a fiery red smoke rose into the air, like a bright light in the night.
Zhang Tie wanted to help Xiao Wenxuan up, but the honest and honest dealer didn't dare to reach out and touch the withered yellow hair, so he could only comfort him.
"Don't be afraid, girl. ”
"Uncle, what is that?" Xiao Wenxuan asked with a red face.
"I don't know, but I think it's some kind of signal. Zhang Tie looked around nervously, fearing that Xiao Wenxuan's cry would attract some terrifying mutant beasts.
"Shall we go and see?"
"Well, let's go. A trace of sadness suddenly flashed on the old man's face.
Every time Zhang Tie thought of those humans who were killed by mutant beasts, he couldn't help but worry about the safety of his family. He once took Xiao Wenxuan and rushed back to his home, but it was already empty. The only thing that made him feel relieved was that there was no sign of fighting at home, and there were many fewer supplies, which also showed that the family had left the village safely.
Xiao Wenxuan seemed to see through the old man's thoughts, and comforted him: "Uncle, you are so good, the family must be fine." ”
"The girl's mouth is so sweet, if the old woman is still alive, I must ask you to taste the craftsmanship of the aunt. ”
"Thank you, uncle. Xiao Wenxuan smiled sweetly.
Maybe it's stunted, Xiao Wenxuan looks like a cyan girl who has just graduated from junior high school, but there is a special magic in her smile, which makes people involuntarily feel a little good.
And around her neck, there is also a soul crystal given to her by the night owl. At this time, Xiao Wenxuan didn't know what this soul crystal meant, and he didn't know that the night owl was the murderer who killed his brother.
