Chapter Seventy-Four: Boiling Oil
The night was dark and dreary, there were no stars or moon in sight, and there was no light in the night sky.
Since Hu Xia jumped out of the helicopter to violently kill a magpie ferocious bird, he did not return to the helicopter, but forcibly controlled another ferocious bird to fly in the air to escort this huge helicopter fleet.
"We have arrived at the boundary of Binjiang City, the weather ahead is abnormal, and the helicopter cannot continue to move forward, warriors, please be ready!" Hu Xia's headphones heard the voice of the pilot pilot.
"Is the weather unusual?" Hu Xia groaned in his heart, and looked around, the entire sky seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black mist, and even the Binjiang City not far away was completely shrouded in these black mist, and the huge black shadow was like an ancient beast hidden in the darkness, waiting for his prey to take the bait.
Hu Xia shook his mist-soaked hair, manipulated the giant bird under him, and flew to the ground with the helicopter crew. No matter what lies ahead, as a soldier of the flower planter, he must have no hesitation.
The helicopter was hovering over a small hill, and people kept slipping from the ropes lowered in the cabin, but Hu Xia fell to the ground early, looking around vigilantly.
The members of the direct team moved quickly, and in just a few minutes, they had all slipped off the helicopter and stood in line on the side.
"Warriors, I hope we can come and pick you up in a few days, good luck!" The helicopter circled upwards and soon disappeared into the deep night sky.
"Captain, captain, you're amazing, you're amazing!"
"yes, yes!"
"When will you teach us?"
Everyone looked at Hu Xia, their eyes glowing, full of admiration.
"Okay, stop!" Hu Xia shouted loudly, and after everyone had completely stopped, he said with a smile, "After this mission is over, I will teach you, so I ask you to protect yourself, understand?" β
"Understood!" Everyone said in unison.
"The most important thing now is to rush to Binjiang City, everyone hurry up and rest for a while, we are going to set off soon, don't leave too far after the disbandment, just come to me if you have any questions, disband!" Hu Xia gave the first order as a target, he had previously observed the distance to Binjiang City from the air, and the place where they landed must be twenty kilometers away from Binjiang City, let alone twenty kilometers, let these ordinary people march twenty kilometers in a hurry, and then immediately enter the battle, this is not called a blocking war, but to send them to death.
Instead of a few people who went to the toilet, everyone else sat down, took out the compressed biscuits from their backpacks, and ate them little by little. They knew that time was tight, and besides, the place was probably not safe.
"Captain, what do we do next?" Zhang Hao walked up to Hu Xia, handed Hu Xia a cigarette, and asked softly.
"Find a car!" Hu Xia slowly exhaled a smoke ring and said, "This place is at least twenty kilometers away from our Binjiang City, and we still have to spare Binjiang City and reach the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to join the large army here, otherwise relying on us people to face those animals will undoubtedly send us to death." β
Zhang Hao nodded, Hu Xia's thoughts coincided with him, the beast tide that could force Binjiang City to send a distress signal was definitely not something that more than a hundred of them could stop, and before reaching the battlefield, the most important thing for their group of people was to preserve their physical strength.
"But here the barren mountains and mountains are pitch black, where to find a car? If you feel the wrong direction, it's! Zhang Hao expressed his worries, although he was afraid of the beast tide, but when he thought of the tragedy after the city was broken, he was even more uncomfortable.
"There!" Hu Xia stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, then said, "About three kilometers, there is a larger town, there should be a car, which can satisfy us people!" β
Zhang Hao looked in the direction of Hu Xia's finger, it was still pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.
"Captain, what are we going to face this time?" The sound of Hu Xia and Zhang Hao's conversation was not small, especially on this empty hill, they naturally heard it clearly.
"Beast tide!" Hu Xia's voice was a little low, he didn't hide anything from these soldiers, on the contrary, he felt that these people had the right to know and understand the goal of this mission, Hu Xia continued, "It's enough to destroy the beast tide of the entire Riverside City!" β
"Boom!" A kettle suddenly fell to the ground, making a soft sound, everyone didn't speak, staring straight at Hu Xia, usually they knew that the direct team could lose more than half in the face of one or two fierce beasts, and just the word beast tide means that there are countless terrifying and terrifying beasts, this is to let them go to death!
"Scared?" Hu Xia's voice was very soft, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
"I'm afraid of hair!"
"I'm afraid, if we don't hold it, what will happen to Riverside City? What will happen to the people of the city? Someone asked aloud.
"The city is broken, people die, countless people will die under the fangs and claws of those animals, and the entire riverside city will become a hell on earth!" Hu Xia replied.
"Captain, then don't wait, let's go now, maybe we can save a life!" Someone urged, the soldiers of the flower planter have never disappointed, no matter when, the soldier of the flower planter will always be the people's protection/umbrella.
"Okay, let's go!" Hu Xia showed a bright smile on his face, he could naturally see the fear in the eyes of these people, but more often than not, he saw death as home!
Hu Xia led the way down the rugged mountain road, and the crowd followed, deliberately controlling his speed so that everyone could follow him.
The army of the flower growers has a strict physical fitness assessment system and standards, and they can become a member of the direct team, and their physical fitness is the best of the best, and it has only been five minutes since they started running, and some people began to pant non-stop, but their pace did not slow down in the slightest, and they gritted their teeth and persisted.
Soon, they came to the town that Hu Xia said, everyone bent down and gasped for breath, even Zhang Hao felt that his lungs were about to explode, and his chest was agitating like a bellows, which was the most uncomfortable three-kilometer he had run since the recruit company.
"Comrades have to practice more, you see everyone gasping for this little way, how can the old man say that he can't do it?" Hu Xia smiled, looking at the people who were gasping for breath, he was naturally not red and out of breath, if he broke out with all his strength, the journey of about three kilometers would only be a matter of a few breaths.
"With, with you, compare, can't compare, you're not human!" Zhang Hao gasped for breath and said to Hu Xia. His words naturally made everyone behind him agree for a while!
"Let's rest for a while, I'll go to the town!" Hu Xia stopped laughing, and said to everyone with a serious face, "If there is any situation, shoot directly!" β
"Uh-huh, uh-huh!" Everyone nodded like garlic, and until now, they had once again refreshed their three views on their new captain.
Hu Xia turned and walked towards the town, the town was large, but it was pitch black, and it was not difficult to see from the collapsed buildings that it had once had prosperity and liveliness, but at this moment, in front of everyone, there were only ruins and deathly silence in front of everyone.
"Is there anybody? I'm a soldier of the flower planter, I'm here to rescue everyone, and someone will shout! Hu Xia's voice resounded like rolling thunder over the entire town, but no matter how he shouted, the whole village was as silent as death, and no one responded, but he didn't know that a behemoth was awakened by his voice and opened two big eyes like rubies.
"No, it's too quiet!" Hu Xia let out a "groan" in his heart, turned around and was about to walk back, when a piercing gunfire broke the silence of the night.
"Dadada!"
"Something's wrong!" Hu Xia was shocked, and with the force under his feet, he turned into a streamer and disappeared into the night.
"Team Zhang, run, get out of there, it's dangerous!" Everyone in the direct team kept shouting at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao's eyes were firm, and he shot at the behemoth opposite him vigorously, until a shuttle of bullets was finished, he quickly rolled to the side, replaced it with a new magazine, and continued to shoot at the behemoth.
Zhang Hao had the best physical fitness, and he was the first to recover, after he recovered his strength, he did not follow Hu Xia's footsteps to check in the town, but kept walking slowly around the people who had not fully recovered their physical strength, and was on guard.
However, at a certain moment, the peripheral vision of his eyes caught a glimpse of behind a member of the team, two huge lantern-like eyes appeared out of thin air, and he didn't have time to hesitate, pushing the comrade out at a speed of 100 meters, while he himself faced this behemoth.
The gunfire rained down, and from time to time grenades exploded, reflecting the fire of the grenade explosion, and they finally saw clearly that it was a huge lobster that was seven or eight stories high.
Its huge pincers danced in the air, and its body was covered in a steel shell, and the bullet could not even leave a trace on him, and even the grenade explosion could only leave a dark shadow on him.
"Whewβ"
The big lobster giant pincers waved, flashing with cold light, and the endless wind caught Zhang Hao, it doesn't eat people, but when it pinches people by itself, the sound of the person wailing and struggling in his giant pincers is the most, and then splitting the person in two in that painful sound.
"Team Zhang, danger, come back quickly!" The crowd was stunned and poured out their anger on the big lobster, but it was all in vain, and the weapons in their hands could not do the slightest harm to the behemoth.
"Are you going to die?" Zhang Hao looked up at the giant tongs in front of him, thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart, and the last face with a smile appeared in his mind, the corners of Zhang Hao's mouth hooked a smile, his face was full of gentleness, and he closed his eyes, even the giant tongs that were close at hand did not care at all, as if his lover was by his side at this moment, and even death was not so terrifying!
"Boomβ"
A thunderclap resounded in the sky, and the huge lobster, which was seven or eight stories high, flew out directly on its side and landed on the dilapidated house on one side, making a "boom" sound.
"What happened?" Everyone stood in place with a blank expression, the night was dark, and they naturally couldn't see how the big lobster flew out.
"Don't be stunned, get out of the pot and boil the water!" Hu Xia's voice came faintly.
"Captain?" Everyone was happy, Hu Xia came, and there was hope. Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from, reflecting the faint firelight, and a hazy figure appeared in everyone's eyes, it was Hu Xia.
"Don't stand stupidly, add food tonight, I like spicy food!" Hu Xia nodded lightly at everyone, patted Zhang Hao, who was still with his eyes closed, and then turned into a streamer and rushed towards the huge lobster that had just gotten up, "Crayfish, you miss me!" β
"What's the situation? Captain wants to eat crayfish? Still spicy? Everyone was puzzled and looked at the big lobster not far away with some pity!
