Chapter 225: Cosaxes
After listening to Cario's words, there was a small commotion among the soldiers present. After all, they weren't fools, and the word "survival" in Cario's words told them that the place they were going to was not a tourist destination, but a battlefield of death.
In Rankine's team, a soldier named Bren raised his hand.
"What's wrong with you, soldier?" asked Cario, looking at him, lazily.
Brun gave a military salute and said, "Report sir, I've seen the information on the new barracks. Aren't the graduation assessments all simulated actual combat conducted by recruit Laurie?"
"Looks like you've done your homework, soldier. There was a rare smile on Cario's old face.
Bren felt slightly colored, stood up straight, and said loudly: "Sir Xiexie, I ......"
He was only halfway through his sentence when Cario suddenly disappeared from his eyes. As Bren felt a feeling of pressure in his abdomen, he lowered his head, only to see the image of Cario slamming his shoulder into his abdomen.
Then, the pain came. As if he had been hit by an armored combat vehicle with full power, Bren was thrown into the air with a scream, and then fell heavily to the school field about ten meters away. When he fell to the ground, Bren foamed at the mouth and twitched. And in his abdomen, a large part of the Night God tactical suit silently disintegrated, and no one knew how Cario used the blunt force of the impact to cause the effect of sharp objects tearing apart the tactical suit.
"You are soldiers, you are soldiers. If the warriors don't go to the battlefield, what do you want you to do?" Cario snapped, and two of the instructors, who were standing on their hands, trotted to Bren's side. They lifted him up, lifted him to the gate of the boot barracks, and threw Bren out like a dead fish.
Pointing in the direction of Bren, Cario said, "Now, if you are afraid of death, stand up for me immediately." It's too late to quit now, otherwise, if someone escapes from the assessment in three days, I will kill him with my own hands!"
The chief instructor's face showed a smile.
But of the remaining twenty, none of them came forward. Cario nodded and said, "Very good, you are a good soldier if you are not afraid of death." ”
He paused, and then said, "The location of this assessment is a Cossack that has been abandoned as an old military base a hundred kilometers west of Asgard. When Asgard was first built, we found it on our way to Kamchata to the west. In addition to the buildings on the ground, the Cosaxes also have an underground base that extends to a total of eight floors. In the thirty years since, our reconnaissance team has only reached the fifth level. ”
Looking at these recruits, Cario said slowly: "The Cossack military base is occupied by countless alien creatures. As far as we know, there are living corpses, sickle worms, human-faced moths, nemesis, etc. Among them, in addition to the living corpses, insect alien creatures occupy most of the place. Your mission is to find the experiment diary in the biochemistry lab on the fifth floor and bring it out. There are no restrictions on this mission, as long as any of your teams bring out the diary, the mission will be completed!"
I heard that there were so many monsters hidden in the place of the assessment, and there were the most bugs among them. Even regular soldiers frown, let alone these recruits. Among the well-known mutant creatures, the insect-based monsters are all headaches.
In turbulent times, everything evolves rapidly. Insect life evolves the fastest, and as these strange insects grow in size, they become very difficult. So for the soldiers of the new barracks, they would rather face an army of living corpses of a legion than run into those weird bugs in the underground base.
Seeing the recruits' faces turn green, Cario nodded in satisfaction. Then he asked the instructor to send the three tactical boards to the captains of their respective teams, and the tactical boards contained the basic information of the Cossack military base, including the general terrain of the first to fifth floors, as well as the information and distribution of the monsters just mentioned. Zuihou said: "The latest of these materials is also three years ago. Therefore, you can only use it as a reference, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, a person who has no ability to adapt is not a qualified soldier, you must learn to face emergencies and find ways and measures to deal with them, and this assessment is your gold test. Good luck to you, gentlemen. ”
After saying that, Cario announced his disbandment. For the next three days, there will be no special training. During the three days, there was time left for the recruits to plan their actions and prepare their battle supplies.
Right in the corner of the school grounds, there were four people sitting in a circle. The tactical board distributed by the instructor was placed in the middle of the four people, and zero used the holographic projection function, so the diorama of the base and the information of the monsters appeared in the eyes of everyone one by one.
The Cossacs military base covers an area of nearly four square kilometers, and the buildings on the ground include training grounds, material warehouses, ground bunkers, watchtowers, satellite towers, barracks dormitories, strategic command posts, etc., and even a runway that has been abandoned. As for the underground base, the first layer is the armor layer, which was built on the premise of defense against a nuclear strike. However, it apparently did not meet the nuclear attack, and on the day of the cataclysm, the area was lucky not to hit a meteorite, so the armor could not test its defenses.
The next two floors are the living quarters of the underground base personnel. It includes accommodation, an activity center, a medical center, and even a neighborhood park. From the third floor, there are various experimental sites and facilities. Valhalla had sent personnel to inspect the military base, although the military base has become a nest of all kinds of monsters, but after so many years of hard work, Valhalla has mastered the situation of the first to fifth floors of the underground base.
On the fifth floor of the site, there is an office area of up to 500 square meters. It was the office of Dr. Mihir, who was in charge of various experiments at the underground base, where scouts discovered an experiment diary. But they couldn't bring it back, after all, there were not many warriors left alive who had broken through to the fifth layer, and they were attacked by elite monsters in the office area.
In the end, only two escaped. One of them was Zero's instructor, Cario.
Because most of the military base has been damaged, and more has been converted into habitable nests by monsters, Valhalla has abandoned its investigation of the base. Valhalla will not invest much in projects that do not return on their investment.
Next up are the various monsters entrenched in the base. The first is the most common living corpse, a monster that is mutated from a corpse, and its origin is still unknown. Only through dissection and research, it is known that the living corpse is a monster that infects the corpse by a virus that evolved from some kind of bacteria, causing the corpse cells to activate and have the ability to move, but it has no intelligence.
It's a cursed monster, so to speak. As one of the most common mutant creatures in the world, living corpses are huge in number and adaptable, monsters that don't know pain or fear, and they can survive in almost any environment. Among the living corpses, the evolved elite monsters include the Butcher and the Ripper. Both of these monsters are highly dangerous, and ordinary soldiers have no chance of surviving when they encounter these two monsters.
The next few monsters are all insect-like monsters, among which the upper sickle insect is a close relative of the blade mantis, and their appearance resembles a praying mantis that is magnified hundreds of times. The body is bright red, but the wings are degenerate, and only a thin dura is left over the body. The sickle insects have eight plural pairs, and they have a glimmer of vision, and in an environment like an underground base, there are almost no dead spots to sneak up on them. With four scythe-like forelimbs, it can easily tear through the armor of the vehicle.
The elite version of the Scythe, on the other hand, is the Green Whirlwind, a bug that is two or three times smaller than the Scythe. It evolved from the sickle insect and has a green body. And its insect beetle has become more tough, and even if it is bombarded at close range with a large-caliber pistol, the bullet will not be able to break through the shell of this insect. But it's not its defense that makes the Green Whirlwind proud, but the speed of the four insect wings that can be increased to the speed of sound in 3 seconds, and the four smaller, but sharper scythes can easily kill any prey.
The human-faced moth is a bug that prefers to inhabit dark and damp places, and is the size of a baby. The heads look like an adult's face due to the contours of the lines, which is where their name comes from. The shili of the human-faced moth has degenerated, and after two evolutions, they no longer have the eye as an organ. The human-faced moth has six beautiful butterfly-like wings, but the fluff in these wings secretes a powdery substance called a neurotoxin.
Once inhaled from the poison powder of the human-faced moth, the prey will be paralyzed for 1 minute, but will not die for 24 hours. Therefore, during this time, the prey can clearly feel the process of the human-faced moth sucking its own flesh and blood. These bugs can even lay eggs inside their prey. In this way, the prey will live for a longer period of time, but when the eggs in the body hatch, the prey's body will become food for the larvae. At that time, it will be even more painful.
Among the human-faced moths, some individuals have mutated and thus embarked on a completely different evolutionary path from their peers. These peculiar individuals are called half-worms, and their wings degenerate, but their bodies grow humanoid limbs. The head of the half-worm no longer retains traces of a human face, but more like a bug. The creature's 10 fingers are 20 centimeters long, and these sharp nails can not only tear ordinary protective clothing, but also have dark grooves that can pressurize the toxins in the body of the half-worm, tearing the skin of the prey and injecting poison into the body.
Normally, where there are half-worm people, there must be the existence of the human face moth king. Because these elite monsters are often the personal guards of the king of their race.
Zuihou's Nemesis is not a beautiful thing. Instead, these monsters with sarcoma-covered bodies and a gigantic one-eyed monster that has been asleep for years are ugly. Nemesis is like a giant bug, and unlike the two bugs above, it is extremely unaggressive. But it's very vindictive, and if you accidentally hurt it, the worm will throw sarcomas at you, and then you'll find that these things aren't pieces of meat, but biological bombs.
Looking at such monsters on the data, the faces of a few people are not very good-looking. Everyone can see that it is not an easy task to get the so-called experiment diary in the nest of these monsters.
