Volume 1 The Book of Origins Chapter 20 The Beastmaster Enters the War The army is assembled
Time gradually entered the night, in this vast wilderness, there was basically no obstruction in the line of sight, the sky full of stars sprinkled starlight on the earth, even the other end of the battlefield could not be illuminated by the light was covered with a layer of silver-white brilliance, faintly visible.
A petite and lovely girl leaned against the trench, supporting the ground with her hands, and looked up at the starry sky: "Huh, I'm so tired, Ye Ming, how many waves of beast tide have you had?"
Ye Ming leaned on the other side of the trench, sat face to face with Ruoxue, heard Ruoxue's inquiry, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and replied: "The fifteenth wave of beast tide has just ended. ”
After Ruoxue heard Ye Ming's answer, she waved her two arms there like a little girl, and screamed to express her dissatisfaction: "Alas, I don't know if there is a beast tide at night?"
Ye Ming saw Ruoxue making a fuss there, smiled, stood up and walked to Ruoxue and squatted down, looked at Ruoxue and said, "There should be more, but it is definitely not as large as during the day, so the command let us go and rest, recuperate our energy, and there will be other people to resist the beast tide at night." ”
Ruoxue was stared at by Ye Ming, and her face blushed, but under the cover of the night, Ye Ming didn't notice it, so she got up from the trench and walked to the camp in the rear, ready to rest, while Ye Ming followed her and walked to the camp together.
People in the same war zone would sleep in a camp, and Ye Ming placed the sleeping bag next to Ruoxue's sleeping bag and lay down to prepare for sleep. Ruoxue opened the sleeping bag and sat in, but did not lie down immediately, but held her knees with her hands, looked at the stars in the night sky, and was silently in a daze, and after a while, she came back to her senses and lay down in the sleeping bag.
"Good night. ”
"Good night. Ruoxue thought that Ye Ming had fallen asleep a long time ago, and said good night casually, but she didn't expect Ye Ming to answer him without falling asleep.
"Hmph, pervert, I'm definitely peeking at this girl when I'm not asleep. Ruoxue teased.
"......" Ye Ming did not fall asleep after lying down, he was just thinking about whether humans could hold the passage.
Thinking about it, Ye Ming also fell asleep, and the sound of steady breathing sounded in the sleeping bag.
It has been three days since the initial early launch of the beast tide, and the ferocious mutated creatures have flocked to the monitoring station after the 50th like a tide, and the human race has continued to withstand the impact of the beast tide after paying a heavy price.
Today, the fourth day of the war, yesterday, a battle report came from the deepest part of the passage, and the Beastmaster was no longer commanding the beast tide in the rear, but was preparing to personally attack the passage defense.
Therefore, since last night, all monitoring stations have observed that the herd has begun to move westward in an organized and large-scale manner, and the monitoring station near the Tiankeng Life Network has found that the herd has begun to move eastward, and it seems that the herd is going to go between the middle Tiankeng No. 60 monitoring station and the Huaxia No. 60 monitoring station.
Therefore, the command center mobilized the troops of each monitoring station and set off for the central monitoring station to resist the fiercest attack led by the Beastmaster.
Ye Ming and Ruoxue also went to the central monitoring station with the army, the two sat in the armored car, Ye Ming was talking to Zheng Dong and Wang Kai in the communicator, and Ruoxue also sat quietly next to him reading a book.
"Ye Ming, you don't know, I saved Lao Zheng's life!" Wang Kai and Zheng Dong also drove war machines on both sides of the armored car convoy.
"Lao Wang, don't talk nonsense, do I need you to save me? Zheng Dong's loud voice refuted Wang Kai's words.
Ye Ming sat in the loading truck and smiled bitterly, but after listening to the two people arguing for a long time, he understood what happened.
It turned out that when the two of them were in the first line of defense to resist the impact of the beast tide, once Zheng Dong drove the Cold Soldier Type 5 to seriously injure a mutant lizard, the mutant lizard mixed into the beast tide and retreated to the rear, how could Zheng Dong let go of this lizard, so Zheng Dong turned on the thruster and rushed into the beast herd to chase the lizard.
As a result, after the lizard was killed, Zheng Dong also fell into the beast tide, and was entangled by three mutant creatures and couldn't leave. And Wang Kai has been in charge of fire support in the Rewu 3 and can observe the situation on the battlefield, so he discovered Zheng Dong's predicament.
Wang Kai opened the missile slot behind the war machine, and sent a missile to strike at the mutant creatures beside Zheng Dong, and under the powerful firepower, Zheng Dong quickly withdrew and returned to his own position.
"So I said that I saved Lao Zheng's life, Ye Ming, you think so too, right?" Wang Kai wanted to tease him about saving Zheng Dong.
"Yes, Brother Dong, you can admit it. Ye Ming sat next to Ruoxue and was secretly happy, but Ruoxue didn't rest when she was concentrating on reading.
"Ye Ming, why are you... , Oh, forget it, Lao Wang, since Ye Ming also said it, I, Zheng Dong, should owe you a life, go back to the life network and invite you to eat, whatever you eat!" Zheng Dong is also a cheerful person, and admitted that Wang Kai saved him.
"Okay, okay, it's a word, when the time comes, Ye Ming, you will also go to eat, hahaha. Wang Kai sat in the cockpit and laughed happily.
The army to which Ye Ming belonged went to the No. 63 monitoring station, and after staying at the No. 63 monitoring station for a while, the command center decided to continue to go deeper and drive directly to the No. 70 monitoring station.
This is already the most front-line area, last night the passage before the 70th was all wiped out, after spending countless resources and sacrificing many capable people, it still failed to resist the attack of the Beastmaster, the huge Beastmaster withstood the fiercest firepower of the human army, stepped through the defense line, and smashed the monitoring station with one palm.
As the Beastmaster joined the fray, the human defenses became vulnerable, losing more than a dozen monitoring stations and passages overnight.
After the command center arrived at the No. 70 monitoring station, all the high-level leaders of all parties immediately went to the command center to discuss countermeasures, and the commanders of the army, the generals, and the leaders of the Tongyuan Tower gathered together.
The tense atmosphere hung over the defense line of the No. 70 monitoring station, and the people who had fought on the front line before had already experienced the horror of the Beastmaster, and the later people saw that the Beastmaster easily broke through the defense line in the monitoring footage, and became pale after destroying the passage.
Wave after wave of wounded people retreated from the front line, ready to go to the rear, Ye Ming and Ruoxue walked in the position, looking at these wounded, those who retreated to the rear were people who could no longer continue to participate in the battle, these people who were slightly injured were missing arms and legs, and the seriously injured were lying on stretchers, their bodies were wrapped in bandages, and some blood was still flowing out.
Ruoxue looked at it twice and then turned her head and couldn't bear to look any further, although she was bold and not afraid of fighting, but it was against mutant creatures. Seeing that his compatriots were seriously injured, he couldn't help but cry in pain filled his ears, and the petite Ruoxue also turned pale.
Ye Ming saw Ruoxue's pale face, and took her away with the retreating wounded very understandingly.
"Xiao Ming, why did you come here, don't you know that it's dangerous here?" Ye Ming remembered Jiang Li's familiar voice behind him, Ye Ming looked back, Jiang Li and Xia Xiaowei were standing behind him.
"Senior, hey, you're injured, and so is Sister Xiaowei. Ye Ming saw that Jiang Li's face was covered with a medical patch, his arm was wrapped with a bandage, and Xia Xiaowei next to him was also wrapped in a bandage, which could make their strong physique injured, it seemed that the battle on the front line was very tragic.
Ye Ming and the others fought for three days at the No. 50 monitoring station, and they were almost not injured, it was not that they did not participate in the fierce battle, but that they were different from ordinary soldiers, Ye Ming and the others had stronger combat skills and better equipment support, so they were able to survive in the beast tide again and again.
"It's okay, don't you see it's almost ready! The passage to the west has all fallen, and the beast tide will soon swarm here, and it will become very dangerous here. Jiang Li waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, took a breath and said to the two people in front of him: "Senior, Sister Xiaowei, the mutant creatures around the other monitoring stations gathered around the Beastmaster last night, so the above decided to mobilize all the forces that can fight to help defend the passage on the front line." ”
Jiang Li and Xia Xiaowei, as excellent abilities, will lead the team to resist the beast tide as the captain, and now during the truce, the two are patrolling the defense line, so they have never known what happened from last night to now.
Jiang Li only reacted when he heard Ye Ming's explanation, no wonder he found that a large number of troops and incapable people had gathered at the No. 70 monitoring station during the inspection.
"By the way, senior, what about Brother Yi, why didn't you see his people, didn't you join you?" Ye Ming found that only Jiang Li and Xia Xiaowei appeared in front of him, but he didn't see Li Yi.
Jiang Li and Xia Xiaowei didn't answer Ye Ming, they stood there silently, but Jiang Li was silent for a while and still answered Ye Ming's inquiry: "Li Yi sacrificed, when the Black Bear King destroyed the passage, he was caught in the beast tide in order to cover the retreat of his comrades..."
Jiang Li didn't continue to say the rest of the words, Ye Ming also knew what would happen, a plant-based ability person was caught in the beast tide, and it was impossible to get out and leave.
Ye Ming recalled the vice-captain who was on a mission in the forest together, rushing to the front in every battle, dragging the strongest mutant creatures and creating time for others.
Although Li Yi is not tall and many years older than Ye Ming, Ye Ming really feels that Li Yi is as kind as a big brother, and he has a very tall image in Ye Ming's heart, and now when he hears the news of Li Yi's sacrifice, Ye Ming is very sad, and Ruoxue next to him also has red eyes.
Jiang Li stepped forward and patted Ye Ming and Ruoxue on the shoulders to express comfort, he and Xia Xiaowei were also uncomfortable when they first heard the news.
Jiang Li took Ye Ming and Ruoxue to the first line of defense that had been arranged long ago, and looked at the dark red sky in the distance, which was the sky that had been dyed red after the explosion of countless ammunition, and under that sky there was also blood that stained the earth red.
"The Beastmaster himself joined the beast tide, and it seems that they want to speed up the destruction of the passage. In the face of such a powerful beast king, we humans can only resist to the death, no matter what the price is, we must guard the passage behind us. But we don't need to worry too much, we're not too weak to resist, we also have powerful weapons, if it's a big deal, we'll fight another nuclear war, and our latest superweapon, the giant laser launcher, will be delivered to the battlefield, so we must hold on and let these stupid mutants know how good we humans are. ”
Everyone's communicator on the battlefield remembered a strong and powerful voice, which was undoubtedly a powerful and effective tranquilizer, which made the physically and mentally exhausted army burn again.
"When the beast tide comes, the Beastmaster may be dragged down by those of us who are capable plus the war machine, so Xiao Ming, you and the army will have to deal with mutant creatures other than the Beastmaster. With so many mutant creatures forming an army to storm the defense line, you will definitely be under a lot of pressure, so be sure to keep it up. Jiang Li didn't persuade Ye Ming to protect himself, in this case, everyone must do their best, and life and death can only be left to fate.
Ye Ming and Ruoxue nodded, Ye Ming's eyes were firm: "Senior, don't worry, I will let these beasts know how powerful humans are." ”
