 Chapter 25 One-eyed Ari and Sly Keith

 Boom boom boom!

  Minotaur self-propelled artillery shells roared into the incoming wave of mutants.

  The artillery blasted out vacuum areas one after another in the tide of mutants, but those areas were quickly filled with a steady stream of mutants.

  They seemed endless, screaming toward the defense forces' positions.

  "Fire!"

  Yari Rogge, the company commander of the Defense Force, opened his scarlet mechanical eyes. He took the lead in pulling the trigger, and other soldiers in the position followed suit and opened fire.

  Automatic rifles, heavy machine guns and other weapons spewed out fiery snakes, and staggered bullet chains swept towards the incoming mutants, causing flesh and blood to fly everywhere.

  Under the suppression of firepower, the tide of mutants was like a tide hitting a dam, and the offensive suddenly came to a halt.

  But this situation did not last long.

  The mutants coming from behind stepped on the corpses of their own kind and continued to attack.

  Soon, scattered mutants broke through the bullet chains and rushed towards the position.

  "Heavy infantry, stop them!"

  Row after row of heavy infantry wearing shell armor came out.

  Wielding power axes and chainswords, they intercepted the mutants who broke into their positions.

  One after another, mutants bumped into each other and were hacked to death, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.

  Although the defense line of the position is dense, there are still fish that slip through the interception of the heavy infantry and attack ordinary soldiers who have no protection.

  "Ah!"

  The mutant threw down a warrior and disembowelled him.

  The soldier wailed, and a hail of bullets came, killing him and the mutant together.

  This is a tacit understanding among the soldiers to reduce pain.

  No one will back down.

  Because the area five kilometers behind the position is a residential area, where their families are.

  "Go to hell, you scum!"

  Ari's mechanical arm waved the chain sword, cutting the flying mutant in half.

  Blood and flesh splattered onto his face, making his scarlet prosthetic eyes look even more ferocious.

  He roared: "Hold on, hold on for another fifteen minutes, and we can wipe out all these ghosts!"

  This is the second wave of mutants this month, and the Defense Corps already has rich experience with this.

  As the fighting continued, the warriors began to tire.

  More and more warriors were knocked down and eaten by the mutants, unable to resist at all.

  Screams echoed throughout the battlefield.

  "Damn Logistics Department, everyone can't even fill their stomachs, how can they have the strength to fight!"

  The logistics department of Wangting District is responsible for the military resources of the defense corps.

  But those administrative officials didn't care about the lives of the soldiers.

  Now that the SADF is under increasing combat pressure, the soldiers' rations have been severely reduced.

  It's almost as good as a worker's, so where's the fighting power?

  "Kill! Kill these disgusting monsters!"

  Ya Rui roared and rushed to kill, but was accidentally knocked down by the mutant.

  When he pulled out his pistol and smashed the head of the mutant on him, more mutants rushed over.

  No time to react!

  Bang bang bang!

  It was the beautiful blast of a bolt pistol.

  The bullet accurately hit the heads of the mutants, sending them to meet the Chaos Gods.

  "You're not dead, are you, One-Eyed?"

  the gentle voice of the trainee staff officer and cunning boy Keith Light sounded. He loaded the bolt pistol as he spoke.

  "I can't die. My father has said since I was little that I have a tough life. Even if everyone dies, I won't die."

  Ya Rui got up and spat out blood: "So they are all dead, and I am the only one who is still alive!"   

  He stared at Case and asked, "Where were you hiding just now?"

  Case was famously cunning in the company, and he was even more cautious in handling things.

  Once the battle began, his men were no longer in sight.

  But what's even more strange is that every time he comes out at critical moments and achieves great results.

  It's just the blessing of the God Emperor, that's how Case explained his luck every time.

  "Wherever you can go, I'll always be behind you, observing the battlefield."

  Ya Rui is known as a veteran who has survived hundreds of battles. Hiding behind him is relatively safe.

  "Cunning boy"

  Ari was a little disdainful of Case's behavior: "A man has to face his real fear!"

  "I use my brain, not like a beast like you!"

  Case said, raising his gun and pointing it behind him. , the muzzle of the gun just went into the mouth of a mutant who wanted to sneak attack.

  squeak?

  Bang! Before the mutant could react, its head was shattered by a bomb.

  "I crawled out from the bottom of the nest. What is it if it's not a beast?"

  Ya Rui grabbed a mutant by the neck, threw it to the ground, and stomped on its head.

  He panted slightly and looked at Case: "Did you see anything?"

  "Have you noticed that this wave of mutants is much weaker than the previous one?"

  "It seems to be a little weaker." Ya Rui estimated as he chopped. "These ghosts are not as ferocious as before."

  "They seem to be running away."

  Case frowned. He seemed to have figured out something: "No, they are just running for their lives!"

  "Why is that?"

  "This means There's something more terrifying chasing them, and it's almost here!"

  After figuring this out, Keith made a quick decision: "Hurry up and find the correspondent, we must report this to the group leader and let everyone be alert!" "

  Boom!

  Just when he was about to take action, there was a loud noise from the distant position, and smoke and dust rose from the explosion.

  That is their first pipeline front!

  The explosion occurred behind the lines.

  This proves that something completely penetrated their defense line, and the location of the explosion happened to be the headquarters of their defense corps commander!

  This is trouble!

  "Damn monster, boy, what should we do?" Ya Rui was also a little confused at this moment.

  "Let's take care of our own front first."

  Case's face was heavy. He listened carefully, and then looked at the dark opening of the transportation pipeline: "Something big is coming towards us!"

  The vibration inside the transportation pipeline became more and more obvious. , as if something giant was running wildly, making a clanging sound!

  Ya Rui also noticed this, and he swallowed: "What a big guy!"

  "Listen to the footsteps, that guy weighs at least five tons!"

  Case took a deep breath: "Prepare to defend! "

  At this time, no mutants came out of the transportation pipeline, and the remaining scattered mutants were also eliminated by the soldiers.

  Everyone's attention shifted to the squeaking transportation pipeline, and something even more terrifying was about to come out!

  "Prepare to defend!"

  Ares roared: "Aim all weapons at the entrance of the hole and attack as soon as something comes out! Blast that damn monster to pieces for me!"

  After the order was issued, the self-propelled artillery on the position was readjusted. Good angle, targeting the opening of the transportation pipe.

  The soldiers re-arranged themselves and aimed their guns at the hole.

  Everyone held their breath, waiting for the monster to appear!

  Roar! ! !

  The terrible roar coming from the transportation pipeline.

  The sound was shrill and terrifying, as if it was going to tear everything apart!

  The coercion instantly sent chills down the spines of the soldiers present, and a sense of fear surged into their hearts.

  The monster is coming!
