Bang!

A thunderclap swept across the sky, and the rising morning light was shrouded in dark clouds, and the sky became dark, and it seemed that it was about to rain.

"How can this be, the weather observatory clearly said that the weather will be good for the next two days."

With that thunder, Chen's heart was clouded, and there was always some bad premonition.

Since Rhode Island's manpower was placed in the second line, there was no chance of contact with the monsters, so some of the work of cleaning up the battlefield was handed over to them, which was not particularly troublesome, and the logistics operators in neat protective gear used manpower to pile up the dead monsters and then set them on fire.

Burning with fire was the doctor's suggestion, and Chen didn't quite understand why he wanted to do this, but he still carried it out seriously.

"Strange, why weren't these corpses devoured by the Source Stone after they died?"

Generally, the infected person will be "eaten" by the rapidly expanding source stone after death, but the source stone monster killed by the reconnaissance force in front of it still maintains the appearance of half human and half source stone, and the source stone seems to be "dead", neither expanding nor forming a source of infection.

Three large pits were filled with corpses, sprayed with flammable liquid and ignited, and three jet-black plumes of smoke shot straight into the sky.

Xingxiong was worried: "Will the formation of source stone dust affect the urban area of Xinshista?" ”

One of the accompanying medical operatives took out the monitoring equipment and replied, "No, the instruments show that none of the source stones here are infectious, they are all real stones." ”

Starbear tried to scratch her hair, but her fingers could only touch the protective helmet, so she had to give up scratching the helmet, which looked stupid.

"Uh, why?"

Chen glanced at the resistance, and the good colleague also asked the doubts in her heart.

The medical operator spread his hands: "I don't know, we haven't had time to study the source stone dust here. ”

Tick.

A drop of rain fell on Chen's shoulder, and the layer of black ash covering the protective gear was dotted with water droplets, and for no reason, her mood was extremely irritable.

"Lao Chen, our people have established a point of contact in the back."

Chen nodded, the transport line behind them was stretched too long, and the troops in front were still continuing to reconnoitre, making the protection in the middle extremely fragile.

It may be hard to believe that half of the day's march was completed in just two hours, and it looks like it is ready to continue to complete the other half.

"Chief Chen, there is a message from the headquarters, let us release drones to reconnoiter on both sides, and be sure to light up the real-time map."

"Got it, Ah Xing, send a message to the front-line troops, our drones will occupy part of the sky route."

……

"Rhode Island applied for sky routes on both sides of the rear, and they wanted to reconnoiter the unlit areas in the rear."

Roberts patiently read the briefing and seriously considered whether to stop the troops to recuperate, and the caution of the friendly forces was more in line with his thoughts, because the advancing troops on the left and right were obviously lagging behind, which involved a detail in the original plan.

At Dr. Rhode Island's suggestion, the ground crew should clean every corner of the old town without leaving a single gap, and he divided the large map into several small squares, each of which had to be cleaned several times to confirm that there were no monsters left.

The Peacemaker is now advancing too fast to have enough time to clear the buildings behind them, meaning that they have only completed the reconnaissance mission, but they are too short of manpower to carry out the cleanup.

"I agree with them to scout unexplored areas, after all, friendly forces also want to find something to do."

The Peacemaker's cabin door opened, and Joseph jokingly addressed Roberts with a cigarette in his mouth.

Roberts shook his head slightly: "Sir Joseph, we need to stop and wait for the troops behind, we are facing the aborigines who are not those wilderness settlements, a few cannon shots can scare most people away, these irrational monsters don't care if there is steel and artillery fire on the other side." ”

Just now, a large group of crystalline monsters rushed over under the fire of the peacemaker, forcing the big guy to fire two shots in just five minutes, and had to stop in place to clean the barrel.

Even more depressing was the first casualty of his troops.

A source stone crystal shot from a distance pierced the protective suit of an unlucky egg, and what was even more unfortunate was that the pierced part was his neck, and the blood sprayed out instantly filled the protective suit, and there was no chance to rescue him, and in just one minute, he died directly.

"We did stop."

Officer Wolper pinched his cigarette, and he found a good reason.

"The peacemakers are out of fuel."

Thank God.

Roberts secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't care whether the peacemaker had fuel or not, as long as he could stop, it would be a good thing.

"Sir, the reconnaissance drone shows that a large number of enemies are appearing in front of you!"

Joseph frowned and asked, "How far apart?!" ”

"A kilometer, still approaching, wandering from the depths!"

Less than a kilometer away, it's just a little bit away!

At this time, the sky is dark and foggy, and even with a telescope, you can't see far.

But now there is no need to look at it, the tremor of the ground is enough to prove that there are a large number of enemies in front of you.

Joseph pressed the headset on his throat and said calmly: "Reverse!" Reversing! We can't stay here! ”

The drone suspended in the air filmed a dense cluster of crystal monsters wandering over, mixed with a considerable number of crystal cluster giants in the middle, when the picture appeared in the eyes of the retreating reconnaissance troops, Joseph and Roberts gasped, such a number of monsters, can instantly drown their own people.

But they didn't even touch the edge of the big hollow!

……

Chen's scalp was about to explode when he got the information from the front, and he immediately ordered everyone to stop collecting the monster corpse, and in addition to ensuring the communication personnel, concentrate on building a defense line on the spot.

Not only the Rhode Island operatives, but also the second-line troops on both sides stopped advancing and strengthened their defenses on the spot.

"Can you hold it?"

Chen lowered his head and pondered for two seconds: "It should be possible, I applied for the support of the magician, and the equipment department also rushed over with new equipment, if this can't be defended, no one can defend." ”

It's just some crystalline monsters.

The Rhode Island database has relevant data, all dictated by doctors, and the details are filled in by professional operators, which is roughly the same.

Xingxiong suddenly asked, "Has the doctor contacted you?" ”

"No, the messages I received were all signed by Amiya."

Chen finally knew why he was upset and upset, because the person was not there.

She was secretly angry, couldn't it be without that man, who left who was not the same?

I didn't think about him at all for more than a year!

"Don't think so much, get ready to fight!"

Xingxiong was stunned for two seconds, who thought so much?
