[Thank you for the big commuter pass support of "pure spectators"!]

The battle is over.

The servants cleaned up the battlefield on the bridge, and most of the corpses of the aliens were thrown directly into the Shadow Canyon. They fall to the ground and become nutrients for the earth after a few years. A small number of corpses that were still intact were brought back to the barracks and handed over to the personnel of the barracks biochemical laboratory for dissecting and biopsy to analyze the alien body and even the genetic structure.

It's almost a habit.

Each time a new alien is encountered, the corpse is analyzed as a specimen. The Biochemistry Lab will generate a report on the alien as soon as possible, including naming, body structure, characteristics, and possible weaknesses. These materials will be compiled into a database and copied for archiving in case of emergency.

While the servants cleared the battlefield, Zero and his men made their way to the exit west of the bridge through a narrow working passage and stepped on the ground west of the canyon. As far as the eye can see, wisps of smoke can be seen rising from the city in the distance. Without the need for a telescope, you can clearly see parts of the city from this distance through the free field of view.

Many unnamed monsters were gathering in an open field like a city square, giving Zero reason to believe that they were preparing for a second assault. In factory-like buildings, the flickering fires are even brighter. Even at a great distance, Zero seemed to be able to feel the heat in the firelight. God knows what's going on there, but there's no doubt that it's not going to be good for humanity.

"Over there, yes, that's it. Quick, dig me a trench, the specs I need are"

In the canyon to the west of the bridge, Brown had already begun to set up a defensive line. The western side of the canyon is high and low, with a naturally formed mountain trail that winds into the wilderness plains below. In the wilderness between the canyon and the city, there are several high-voltage towers of the old era, as well as the ruins of a small town. After observing the terrain, Brown decided to start from the town and continue to the top of the canyon to lay multiple defenses to contain the alien attack.

Most of the town's buildings had collapsed, but there was still a bell tower and church that were still intact, and they were the only vantage points in the town, and Brown had two rapid-fire guns mounted on each of them. In addition, some of the town's important strategic locations were quickly cleared, all of which were equipped with firefighters that would be cut by human fire if aliens passed through the town.

By evening, the town's defensive line was preliminarily completed. However, the fortifications at the rear of the town and even above the ravines and mountain roads were only rudimentary, and those relatively simple ones such as anti-infantry mines, phalanxes, trenches, etc., had been completed with the continuous work of the servants. But things like shooting bunkers and watchtowers can't be done in just one afternoon. And because the western bridge was still not completed, many heavy weapons such as self-propelled artillery and cannons could not be transported one by one.

If not, Brown would even want to bring in both artillery tanks and missile armored vehicles. If these big guys helped, he would have the confidence to keep it for ten days, even if it was for a month.

Of course, this is impossible. If even the tanks could be driven, then the human army group would have launched a general offensive long ago, and it would still need three elite squads to carry out defense work here.

Faced with the alien race that didn't know when it would attack, the servants brought by Zero rushed to work overnight. Under Brown's arrangement, they were divided into three shifts, taking turns to rest and work, so that the arming work was carried out in an orderly manner. During this period, even Su and Feng and other capable people also gave Brown instructions to work, for which Brown was a little proud.

Compared to the defensive work on the Zero side, James and Starley were unmoved. The two captains had no intention of discussing this defense with Zero, and none of their men participated in the action of setting up a defensive line. Once they reached the west side of the bridge, they set up a makeshift camp in the gorge and remained silent.

At this moment, James stood outside his tent, looking indifferently at the brightly lit ruins of the town below the mountain road. James is dressed in the black uniform of the Hammer of Doom, his hair is meticulously combed back, and the beard on his resolute face is visibly trimmed, thus reinforcing James' rigid beauty. Coupled with his upright and loose posture, this man is full of the smell of iron-blooded military service.

"Look, our colleagues are really diligent. ”

The strong smell of alcohol made James frown, and he coughed lightly: "Staley, the prohibition of alcohol in wartime, I think the head of the regiment should not have abolished it, right?"

It was Staley who walked towards James, also in uniform, but Staley unbuttoned his chest, revealing his strong pecs. Slightly younger than James, he had a tuft of hair like a bird's nest. Compared to the aristocratic James, Staley was more of an outcast in the wilderness, if it weren't for the fact that he was dressed in the uniform of the Hammer of Destruction.

He was very unimpressed by James's words: "Don't say that. The head of the regiment is not there, and besides, I don't drink much. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Staley burped and spewed a strong smell of alcohol from his mouth. This forced James to pull a white handkerchief out of his pocket and cover his nose in disgust. Starley looked in his eyes and didn't say anything. He knew very well that his colleague had a little habit of cleanliness, and Starley turned his head to look down the mountain road, pointed to the town that was being defended, and said, "What do you think of this new colleague?"

"There is more than prudence, but not enough bravery. James seemed to cherish words like gold, and faintly spit out these eight-character comments from his mouth.

Stali Hahadaxiao: "We must forgive him, who made him just join our legion." It's understandable that I don't understand the style of our legion, but what makes me wonder is that this kid is obviously strong enough, but his courage is still as small as a homeless person in the wilderness. It's ridiculous, no matter how many ugly and dirty things come in, it's only a matter of time before they are killed. ”

"It's no wonder that he is from the wilderness, first of all, he comes from the wilderness, and his style naturally follows the methods of a wilderness mercenary. Secondly, unlike you and me, as a shadow wanderer, he is better at solo duels. So he was able to tie with the head of the regiment, but the Yujian alien group had no way at all. ”

As if he wasn't ready to talk any more, James turned away and went straight into his tent. Starley looked at him, then at the town below, zuihou raised his hand. The man carried a bottle of vodka in his hand, and Staley poured it down his throat like water, letting the liquor wet his clothes. Then, the martial artist staggered towards his camp, shaking his head as he went, "It's all boring guys. ”

Zero sneezed.

"What's wrong?" Leah asked curiously, "You don't have a cold, do you?"

"How is it possible?" said with a smile, saying that it is impossible for a person with ability to be affected by low-level germs. Even the mutant beasts in the wilderness rarely have such a thing as disease. In the new shijie of the new era, the main reason that threatens the survival of the species is the lack of resources and the stability of their own genes, and it is by no means the various diseases of the old era.

Zero and Leah are in a cleared house in the ruins of the town, and in Zero's hand, a map of the nearby terrain is displayed on the screen of the tablet brain. The topographic map shows an overview of the town and the trail behind it, with red lines marking the lines that have been set up and will be set up. Brown uses a tight team-up defense, which forms a linked defense zone through multiple lines of defense.

There is no way around it, and if the situation allows, Brown can set up two or three lines of defense with heavy weapons and firepower. However, under the current conditions, the number of defensive lines can only be increased to make up for the lack of firepower and personnel.

Seeing Zero frowning, Leah asked, "Is there a problem with the defensive line set up by Brown?"

"No problem, Brown has plenty of military experience, and his use of multiple lines of defense to make up for the lack of firepower personnel is the most correct means of arming. But the problem is that with our manpower and resources at hand, it is barely enough to defend such a large area. If necessary, we can only abandon some of the defensive lines and shrink the defensive surface to strengthen the firepower. But that's not the way to go," Zero looked up and sighed, "If only those two were willing to help, then we could at least split half of our men to implement Haiwei's proposal." ”

The words fell, and Zero suddenly shuddered. Leah could clearly feel the energy in Zero's body suddenly surging and boiling, like a volcano about to erupt, and it had actually entered a state of imminent battle. But Zero didn't move, and his eyes became blank and far-reaching, as if he was staring into the distance.

Leah didn't know that Zero saw two shijies in her eyes at this moment. The left eye sees reality, but in Zero's right eye, things become blurry and transparent. The walls of the room faded away, and Zero could see Shijie in the town directly, and could even see soldiers smoking cigarettes in the fire. The flame of the cigarette butt flickered and flickered, becoming the most obvious sign in this shijie.

Then, the void shijie continued to expand. When towns, soldiers, wilderness, electric towers, and even distant cities disappear. What Zero sees is a barren and uninterrupted shijie, and this shijie is so desolate that Zero can't feel any life. And at the end of Shijie, there is a huge shadow.

From a distance, the shadows seem to be frozen. But Zero felt the endless majesty from that shadow, and the pressure was as deep as the abyss, as if there was no limit or end. As Zero felt the pressure, the shadows began to roll in the direction of Zero. Wherever the shadow goes, shijie disappears from zero perception, as if it has eaten away at the shijie of consciousness.

The intense crisis made Zero instinctively enter a state of imminent war, but in this conscious shijie, he couldn't do anything. It wasn't until the shadow nearly doubled in size compared to what had been seen at the beginning that two narrow rays of light appeared in the shadow. The light suddenly expanded from the top and bottom, and suddenly a pair of huge eyes were formed.

There was nothing in his eyes, but Zero had the feeling of being stared at.

A desolate voice came from far away: "O son of the planet"

Zero let out a loud shout in his consciousness, and his whole body burst with energy. So the shijie of consciousness suddenly disappeared, and when Zero came back to his senses, he found that there was a crack in the wall of the room, but it was shattered by the energy he had just burst out.

Everything was like a dream, but Zero knew it was true.

Something is snooping on itself.

But that thing is not Prosius, Prosius gives zero the feeling of destruction and death, but the shadow just now only reveals a desolate aura, like a long life that has existed since the desolation.

"Are you alright, Zero?" Leah's face turned pale, with her current level barely squeezing into the third order, it was not a joke to fully withstand the aura that erupted from an eighth-order powerhouse like Zero. If it weren't for her close relationship with Zero, Leah would have a certain resistance to Zero's aura and coercion, and those with other low-level abilities would have been stunned.

Zero shook his head, only to realize that he was already sweating profusely and felt empty. He silently inspected his body and found that his energy level had plummeted by nearly forty percent. In the consciousness shijie just now, he forcibly broke through the other party's consciousness shijie, but he didn't want to consume such a huge amount of energy. And all this, in just a few seconds, is no less than a big war.

"Just now, I seemed to be being spied on. Zero said.

Leah was dazed: "But I can't feel anything." ”

Zero nodded, judging from the other party's rank, I am afraid that it is not below him, or even more than himself. Due to rank suppression, it is normal for Leah not to feel the other party's prying eyes.

As soon as Kelia spoke, her face suddenly changed. She looked up, her eyes glazed and said hurriedly, "Wait, I feel a lot of life reactions. They're getting closer!"

Zero heard this, and immediately climbed to the roof of the third floor. But when I looked over the railing of the rooftop, the wilderness on the other side of the city was pitch black, but there was no sign of any movement of objects. Just as he was wondering, he heard the sound of flapping wings, and Zero suddenly looked up, only to see a large black cloud in the sky pressing down!

Naturally, it was not a dark cloud, but a thousand or more flying beasts. These flying beasts had the body of a wolf, but they had the wings of an eagle, and they were exactly one of the alien races that Zero had seen from the data.

Pelidon!

"Attention, airstrike!" Zero shouted, the sound echoing through the town and the wilderness, and to the camp above the canyon.

James and Starley rushed out of the tent in disheveled clothes, and when they looked up, they saw a black cloud swirling over them. As they passed above the town, two bright flashes of fire blasted into the air, cutting into the black clouds. The next moment, several flying beasts fell, thus kicking off the night attack.

The two bright flashes of fire came from the rapid-fire heavy guns on the town's two vantage points, and the heavy gunners pulled the trigger and controlled the heavy guns to blast the shells into the air. Wherever the chain of firelight bullets passed, the flying beasts were both immortal and wounded, and it seemed that their individual defenses were not strong. But this is only relative to the heavy firepower of rapid-fire heavy artillery, and Brown's soldiers in various firing points in the town also began to attack, but the automatic rifles in their hands were only a limited threat to the flying beasts.

Generally, it takes eight or nine bullets to shoot a flying beast down. But the beasts that fell down did not die immediately, and they crashed into the fire. When they rush out again, they usually have one or two soldiers on their lips. followed the wolf's kiss and swung violently, and it tore a big living life in half!
