Chapter 70: Night and the Trap
The sound of gunfire whizzed by my ears, and the fire was everywhere, and the screams of insects were everywhere.
Night has fallen, but no one can stop the war.
Even the soldiers felt very tired and had been in the high-intensity battle of concentration for a day.
But war is not something that humans unilaterally want to stop, and everything will end.
That's a dream.
From large-scale daytime conflicts to nightfall.
On the surface, all this seemed to have become quiet, and the night became the best protection for the Zegites. They spread their screams in the night.
And these screams one after another became fear in the soldiers' hearts.
Looking around, it was covered with dark shadows everywhere, as if a bug could jump out of the shadow at any time.
In the ruined city, no one knows whether the head of a bug will come out from a window.
William could only hold on to the nail gun in his hand, and there was no companion by his side.
He buried his head and rushed forward, rushing towards the tank formation that he ordered at the beginning.
Although he clearly knew that in the shadows he could see nothing, there would be terrible enemies hidden.
But the existence of those enemies is absolutely natural.
The soldiers should have walked in the light in this night, just as they were carrying out orders.
But for machine gunners, they were not willing to get close to the burning tanks and places illuminated by the flames.
They would rather run wildly in the darkness.
While running, William adjusted his breathing.
The initial command has become the only thing he has to execute now.
The commanders on the front line of the war were constantly going down the line, one machine gunner after another was thrown to the ground by insects.
If there is no way to gather, then with the single firepower, facing the jumping bugs hiding in the night one-on-one.
If the opponent succeeds in a sneak attack, the Mavericks will have no power to fight back.
But the nest lord seemed to know what the situation was.
Once the soldiers gather and become a group, there will be a poisonous worm that suddenly rolls out from there without knowing it.
But if they don't gather together, the monsters around them will also open their fangs without hesitation.
Another temporary captain, only half of his body was left in the acid liquid that the rolling poisonous worm exploded.
William, hiding behind the cement wall, sat down with his back against the hard wall, and stopped all his movements.
He had to take a breath at this time. He was almost exhausted as he ran over all the way.
...
Just as William hid behind the corner of the ruins, not long after, another army walked to the intersection along the wall.
The streets were filled with damaged machines, damaged tanks and the bodies of machine gunmen.
The road has long become a place where garbage is piled up.
As for walking in the middle of the road, it is simply seeking death.
William took a look at it at this moment and found that they were still in total. Even if they arrived, they would have been lucky and did not encounter poisonous worms.
At this moment, just as he was hesitating whether the other party would pay attention to him, the short-distance channel connected the other party's words.
"Soldiers, don't stop, stand up and move on!"
Under the thermal imaging system, even in the shadows behind the wall, William's figure appeared on the monitor of the new team.
William stood up with difficulty. He had just injected a nutrient solution while he was resting.
The captain of this team saw that the space was quite spacious, so he made gestures and everyone walked in.
Hiding in this small dark ruin, turning it into a temporary fortress.
And the corpses on the street can tell everything.
The reason why they can sneak to this place safely seems to have been through this caution.
"Sir, there are three poisonous worms in front of them. These guys never act alone. I don't know where those worms are hiding."
In this situation, facing what was happening in front of you, William warned the captain of the team.
"Where is your team?"
The other party asked, and William pointed at the countless bodies in the middle of the street.
There were jumping bugs and poisonous bugs. The guy jumped off the roof of the building, and no one counted it.
The jumping worm rushed out of the shadow, forcing all the machine gun soldiers into a ball, and then a poisonous worm that fell from the sky made everyone killed without any power to fight back.
Fighting in this city, it is impossible to take this kind of thing for granted.
Against this situation, the captain of the team remained silent for a moment.
After counting that Aaron's space warship had not left yet, the nest lord was releasing some hormones and other things.
The atmosphere is gradually deteriorating, and the higher intensity ionization makes the communication channel very blurred, and Yongjin must maintain the transition point.
The message from the base camp has been cut off for three hours, and communication will not be resumed until dawn.
And no one can estimate the losses that night.
"This should be the last bridge. When you pass through this bridge, you are the tank position that was attacked. The bugs are probably the trap set at this intersection."
The adjutant in the team handed over the map to the captain.
The river flowed quietly, and on the other side of the bridge, the tank positions were still roaring with artillery fire.
Although the Yongjin number was temporarily offline, the communications of the ground troops were not immediately destroyed.
The attacked tank positions are still carrying out artillery fire support.
"You can't wait until dawn. At that time, it will be easier for the bugs to find us. If you want to rush forward like that, God knows how long it will take to wait for the troops behind you."
Counting the time, the captain checked the machine gun in his hand.
"Be prepared and force yourself to rush over this trap before the alien insects react."
There was no objection to this, and in the end, the captain put his eyes on William.
"You can't hide here until dawn. There are bug traps in front of you. They can find you at any time."
William smiled bitterly, although he had already felt his legs sore that they were almost numb.
But now he also knew clearly about the guy in front of him.
