Volume 2 Mortal Glimmer Chapter 89 Escape from the position
"Bang!"
A shot grazed the tip of Chen Yu's nose and repelled the cutter who flew over.
"What a daze, I don't want to live, don't run yet!"
The sentry pushed Chen Yu impatiently and motioned for him to hide behind him.
In the constant alternation of light and dark, the sentinel is like a monument, facing a short-handed cutter, not retreating.
But the monster moves too fast, even in a narrow trench, with ghostly movement and a pair of scythes to deal with the threat of assault rifles at close range.
Until he ran out of bullets, he didn't do much damage to the monster in front of him.
"Damn, it's a big loss this time!"
The sentry cursed, and the monster jumped a few meters while he changed magazines, and pounced.
He only had time to hold the gun in both hands against one of the monster's scythes, and the force was so great that he slammed into the wall at his side, and his internal organs turned over as if displaced. The scythe at the tip of the monster's other arm was already raised high and swung down towards the top of his head.
The sentinel, who had lost the ability to resist, subconsciously closed his eyes, waiting for death to come in fear and unwillingness.
"Ding!"
A short clash of gold and iron sounded in front of him.
The sentry saw what stunned him.
A long knife burning with black flames fired first, blocking a sharp scythe that would split him in two.
The boiling black flames skimmed against his scalp, and the tip of the knife was slightly raised, as if attached to an invisible traction, and with a flick of it, it bounced out of the monster's powerful arm in a strange rhythm.
At this moment, a figure passed by his side, setting off a strong wind.
The man held the knife in both hands, and before the monster could react, a black light slashed through its neck like a thunderbolt.
The stump, skull-deprived body, was pumping blood at high speed under the pumping of the heart, bursting out from the neat cut of the neck.
The blood is like a gushing spring, flickering bright and dark, especially bewitching.
Rumble!
Normally, shells fall in the trenches that come and go, and the earth is splashed.
The sentry stared blankly at Chen Yu's back and swallowed his saliva.
This young man, who seemed to him to be stupid by the tragic battle situation just now, turned out to be an extraordinary person who could easily kill monsters.
He barely collected the surprise in his heart, and said to Chen Yu sincerely:
"Thank you...... Thank you! β
"You saved me once, too, and we're even."
Chen Yu turned his head to stare at the sentry's eyes, as if he was looking at his soul, and asked in a deep voice:
"What is the order you received? Stay here and die? β
In the midst of the rumbling artillery fire, the outer positions were like a leaf drifting in a stormy wind, which could overturn at any time and shatter its bones.
The sentry lowered his head, his young face was full of shadows, and he said with some gloom but not without a lack of firmness: "I am a soldier, and I swear to live and die with the position!" β
"Position?" Chen Yu sneered, "Where else is there any position, isn't this a trap carefully arranged by your chief!" Why, your commander didn't leave you a way out? β
The sentry clenched his fists and slammed them on the side wall of the tunnel, roaring angrily, "War is not child's play, everyone can sacrifice for the ultimate victory and honor." From the first day of joining the Survey Corps, each of us was ready to sacrifice! β
"What about the outcasts? They are not soldiers, so why should you decide their life and death so easily? In my opinion, the existence of the army is to better protect the living space of mankind, not for some bullshit honor! β
"What's the difference between your chief's decision and those monsters that feed on humans?"
The sentry was enraged, as if he had forgotten that the man in front of him had just shown his powerful force, and he ran away with a pistol pointed at Chen Yu's eyebrows, "You are not allowed to slander our sir!" β
Chen Yu didn't have to let it, so he looked at the sentry with sarcasm and disdain.
He ...... He ......"
After a few moments, the soldier put away his gun.
His convictions were no longer strong.
From the moment Zheng Xiao, the supreme commander of the advance base, gave that order, as a soldier, his belief had already begun to collapse!
He was not afraid of bloodshed and death, but he was most afraid of the blankness and emptiness of losing his faith!
Chen Yu pierced his disguise, whether he wanted to or not, he could no longer make self-deception and escape.
He once thought that as long as he didn't think about it, he would always be burning with beautiful beliefs and ideals.
The heart is towards the light, and all evils are retreated.
But if it is evil, which of the gods and Buddhas will bless the demons whose hands are covered with blood.
Nearly 3,000 human lives, this is a sin that hell cannot contain!
The sentinel crouched in the darkness and whimpered, sinking into fear and guilt worse than death.
His performance made Chen Yu a little stunned.
This soldier has obviously been arranged as cannon fodder, but he has such a clear sense of morality and right and wrong, and he will feel guilty for the death of others.
Childish, naΓ―ve, and take for granted the definition of war and human nature!
It's so much with yourself!
"No! I'll have to ask the Chief," the Sentinel was stunned, his eyes red, "there should be a better solution." Why did he have to send these outcasts to death! β
"If I don't figure this out, I won't be blind!"
With that, he was about to climb out of the trench and run towards the base behind him desperately.
Chen Yuyi dragged him back and scolded angrily, "You are so crazy, it's not like this to find death!" Nearly 1 kilometer away under artillery blockade, how can you run back unharmed. Can you fly to the sky, or can you escape from the ground? β
The sentry stumbled, but he was not annoyed, but his eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Yu excitedly and said:
"Escape, yes, we can escape!"
Just when Chen Yu was thinking about whether to give this kid a slap so that he could sober his mind, the sentry continued:
"There's another sewer exit near here, leading directly to the hinterland of the base!"
Chen Yu looked at him suspiciously: "Really? β
The sentry lost his confidence at this time: "It should be! When I was a recruit, I cleaned up with the squad leader once, and I was almost smoked to death inside, so I was very impressed. I've been there once, I remember the approximate location, it's been two or three years, it should still be through! β
Chen Yu had a lot of expectations in his heart, and his eyes gradually brightened!
Anyway, it can't be replaced, and staying on this position that is about to be ploughed by artillery fire is just waiting for death.
It's better to fight for a glimmer of hope, even if it's very slim.
Chen Yu lightly kicked the sentry, and said angrily:
"Why are you stunned, don't lead the way!"
The sentinel didn't realize that the humiliation of his fingertips with Chen Yu was so smooth that he didn't even notice it. He quickly accepted his identity change, and led Chen Yu to find the exit of the sewer without complaint.
They groped along the trench for more than ten minutes, and the mutant creatures they encountered along the way were all slashed by Chen Yu.
But there was no trace of the target.
Just when they were about to despair, a shell landed more than ten meters beside them, and the flying earth appeared to bury them alive!
The two of them turned around and got up.
At this time, the sentry suddenly pointed in a direction with great excitement and shouted excitedly:
"There, look, that's it!"
Chen Yu looked in the direction of the sentry's finger, and two or three meters away from the center of the shell's landing point, there was a black and swarthy 2-meter square circular hole. Exposed.
I really found it!
Chen Yu was about to walk over, but saw the sentry motionless in place, looking at him with blazing eyes, holding a pistol in both hands:
"You're going to take revenge on our leader?"
