Due to the extremely harsh climate, even the Combine Army, which was dressed for added comfort, could not stand marching in the scorching sun, and the only time to advance each day was early morning and evening, and the rest of the day was to find a shady place to set up a tent to conserve energy.
Fortunately, this is the back garden of the Arab Legion, water and supplies are not a problem at all, and the location of the ancient ruins happens to be a huge desert oasis.
After several days of marching, everyone finally came to an oasis jungle, but Sergeant Alan stopped the group and regrouped at the edge of the oasis.
From here, they have already entered the scope of the ancient ruins, and the Combine has paid countless lives before they have roughly discovered the hidden dangers in this oasis jungle, and finally come to the conclusion that if the number of soldiers is less than a hundred, they dare to enter this jungle, then none of them want to come out alive!
There was a roar of helicopter gunships in the sky, and it wasn't long before several T-2B Melty Honey tanks with steel claws in front of them were dropped near the oasis, and a wide path was opened up in the jungle ahead of the Combine.
When the tank ran back and forth several times, the excavation site connected to the ancient ruins appeared at the end of the road, and Zero looked at the messy jungle and began to run the train again in his head: "There is no road in the jungle, and the more the tank grinds, there will naturally be a road!" ”
When the last group of camels arrived at the edge of the oasis to join the large army, Sergeant Allen did not leave any troops behind, and everyone took up arms and carried supplies into the oasis and headed towards the huge pyramid in the center.
As Zero approached the edge of the oasis, he had already seen that there was an extremely large pyramid in the middle of the oasis, and who would have thought that this pyramid was actually just a corner of the eaves of a buried building underground.
If the guy who doesn't know the truth enters the pyramid to hunt for treasure, once he goes up, there is only one way to die except for encountering traps and terrifying unknown creatures, so the construction technology mastered by the ancient Martians is really strong!
As he reached the edge of the oasis, Zero felt his heart beat noticeably faster, knowing that this was an instinctive reaction of his body when there was danger around him, and he looked back at the dense jungle in the oasis ahead and looked back at the endless desert.
If Zero were the only one to let him choose his direction, he would definitely choose the desert, and there seems to be something terrible going down the oasis!
Fortunately, the powerful steel claw tank was crushed back and forth a lot of times, and the road opened up was very wide, and for some reason, the camels that everyone rode were killed and did not enter the oasis.
Some veterans of the Modern Army have indeed whipped many camels to death, but these animals have only stopped, and the camels near the edge have already shown signs of escaping.
Seeing this, Sergeant Allen was no longer reluctant, but just asked a hundred and ten Arab shepherds to return to the town with these camels, and he would notify them if necessary, so nearly four thousand people carefully entered the depths of the oasis, and Zero's heartbeat gradually accelerated!
"Fortunately, we didn't sneak in, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!" The contractor with the red brand stabbed his teammate next to him with a frightened face, only to see that cold sweat was coming down his forehead.
"The consequences? Why don't I think, maybe this oasis is too quiet, it should be that you are too careful" The Yellow Brand Contractor just looked at the green vegetation on both sides of him and didn't take his teammate's words to heart, replied nonchalantly, and took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, looking at the expression on his face without any tension at all.
"I hope so." Seeing that his teammates took his warning seriously, the contractor of the red space didn't want to say anything, after all, he only happened to meet this guy when he entered the world.
They just teamed up to complete it together because of the same task, and they didn't know each other very well, and they were willing to find death and deal with him, and when he thought of this, he secretly cheered up and prepared to face unknown dangers.
Although Zero also sensed the danger at this time, it was not very strong, and the danger he felt came from the nearby underground, which made Zero suspicious again.
After calling thirty veterans to his side and telling them to always be aware of the danger from the vicinity, he hastened to the second half of the group, and soon came to the second half of the group, thinking that it would be better for someone else to explore the way.
When the Combine at the front came to the excavation site on the periphery of the pyramid, the troops in the rear were still slowly advancing in the middle of the Oasis Jungle, and Zero thought about it and for some reason returned to the front of the large army.
When he led the veterans to the excavation site safely, the group could breathe a sigh of relief when they heard a commotion from the rear of the group, and even the screams and shooting of some soldiers.
Ignoring the surprised looks of the bodyguards around him, Zero took out the binoculars from his backpack and searched the panicked team for his target, and sure enough, he quickly found the traces of the two contractors.
Isar looked nervously holding a machine gun in the crowd and looking at the nearby jungle, when the screams from the rear rang out, he immediately took out his weapon, and Guiss next to him seemed to react at this time, hurriedly took out the firearm, and even forgot to open the safe.
As a life space contractor, Isar has an extremely keen instinct for the coming danger, he and Zero have similar feelings, but they don't know where the danger comes from, and his spirit has been in a state of high tension since entering the jungle, and he dare not be careless.
Gith, the technology space contractor, was much worse than him, and after they arrived in the desert town, they showed their willingness to join the rebels, and soon became one of them with the contractor's physical fitness beyond ordinary people.
In the past few days, the two have been doing faction missions in the desert town to brush up the prestige of the Combine Army, and finally reached the friendly level, spent a lot of money to buy some equipment, and followed the large army to the ancient ruins.
Suddenly at the back of the group were a number of terrifying monsters, one of which was a terrifying creature that was more than two meters tall and wrapped in bandages, resembling mummies unearthed in Egypt.
There are hundreds of these mummies, and they seem to be extremely resistant to the attacks of ordinary firearms, and there are no obvious weaknesses in their bodies, even if they are beaten into a sieve, they will not fall, and they are so powerful that they can even tear apart the soldiers' bodies with their bare hands.
These terrifying mummies will spit a small cloud of purple poison from their mouths, and once killed, will also release a large purple cloud of poison near their corpses, and it will not take long for soldiers who come into contact with this poison fog to be transformed into their own kind.
The water in the soldiers' bodies will drain quickly, their muscles will begin to atrophy, their skin and muscles will become tenacious, and they will turn into bandages, wrapping around their bodies, and the moment the transformation is complete, they will turn their heads and attack their former comrades.
Fortunately, these mummies move very slowly, and it is easy for the soldiers to be careful, and the most amazing thing is that the bandages wrapped around the mummies will quickly become tattered after death.
When the bandage loosens, revealing the withered internal organs and bones, the entire mummy quickly dissolves into powder and disappears into thin air without leaving a trace.
Even more difficult to deal with than the mummy is the mummy dog, which is half a human tall and also spews poisonous mist, but has a much larger range.
This mummified dog can only jump forward, but each leap is several meters away, and the bite force of its mouth is amazing, and it can bite off a soldier's thigh bone with just one bite.
The most difficult to deal with is a giant mosquito the size of a human head, this flying insect is so fragile that it can be killed with a single bullet, but it is they that cause the most casualties to soldiers.
The floaters form a black torrent in the jungle, and the "buzzing" sound of its wings even drowns out the sound of machine gun fire, and once pierced by the mosquito's sharp mouthparts, it can suck up the blood of the whole person in a very short time.
In a short period of time, the target of the giant mosquito can only be transformed into a dried corpse with a terrifying expression, and once the giant mosquito dies, it will explode from the inside, and its power is comparable to that of a small grenade!
Looking at the struggling appearance of the soldiers in the binoculars, Zero was expressionless, but he was also afraid in his heart, before he really wanted to walk at the back of the group, intending to let the soldiers in front of him explore the way.
However, when he reached the second half of the group, the sense of danger that gradually grew stronger was even stronger than in the middle of the group, and he instantly understood that the impending danger was most likely from the back of the group.
Holding back the fear in his heart, Zero immediately summoned the veterans who were protecting him and sped forward to the front of the group, until he could already see Sergeant Allen's big bald head.
At this time, the team has also come to the vicinity of the excavation site, and Zero is about to tell Sergeant Allen that the battle has already started when the crisis that may occur later, and at this time, Zero can only choose to shut up, the battle is carried out by a special person, he is just a translator!
Sergeant Allen seemed to be prepared for this, and dozens of muscular hunks with flamethrowers on their backs suddenly stepped out of the line behind them, and they sprayed at the cloud of insects and various mummies that were approaching, and the tongues of fire several meters long burned in front of them into a sea of fire.
There were also soldiers with Molotov cocktails who kept throwing at the enemy, not thinking about the fire that would create a fire in the jungle, which proved to be effective, and soon these terrible creatures that suddenly sprang out became large scorched corpses lying on the ground and quickly disappeared, and the brave soldiers got closer and continued to attack the mummy's corpse.
