The howling north wind blew through the wilderness, making strange sounds.
In the wilderness full of rocks, a large group of soldiers lined up in a long line, marching slowly towards the north.
In the middle of the team, Kil walked around a boulder, stopped involuntarily, and exhaled a white breath.
He shook the machine gun on his shoulder vigorously, then raised his head and looked at the horizon in the distance. He saw only a vast expanse in the distance, without any trace of life.
He couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, and thought to himself: Where are those monsters hiding?
Just when I thought of this, I heard the young deputy shooter mutter unwillingly: "Where are those cute monsters hiding?"
The soldiers next to him also sighed for a while.
If there were any outsiders speaking, they might classify these brats as sick.
But it is undeniable that, stimulated by the gold coins, the soldiers in the entire camp are now eager to see the monsters.
They automatically replaced the disgusting and terrifying monster with a car, a house, a beautiful wife, and some even fantasized about having sex with a mistress.
The icy wasteland that was once daunting has now become lovely.
Since setting foot in this desolate mission area, they have all been extremely serious and meticulously searched every stone crevice in the wilderness, trying to find traces of monsters.
But several days passed, and the people of the First Battalion found nothing. Not only the First Battalion, but the entire Skeleton Division's days were uneventful.
This made the soldiers who were dreaming of "getting rich and marrying a wife" anxious and angry. If this continues, their dream will be ruined.
At this moment, they all dreamed that tens of thousands of monster bugs would rush in front of them, let them have sex as much as they wanted, and then exchange them for gold coins.
Deputy machine gunner Weir looked at the wilderness in the distance, pursed his lips and thought seriously for a moment, then quietly pulled Keir, with a serious expression on his face, and said: "I think our search method is wrong."
Keir looked at him in surprise and said, "What's wrong?"
Weir vowed: "I think catching monsters should be like fishing. You have to have bait to hook the monsters."
As if he didn't know him, Kil looked at him in surprise and said, "That makes sense. What do you think you should use as bait?"
Weir said seriously: "I think the savages will do. Look, the savages have been here for who knows how many years, and the monsters must be most familiar with their taste.
We are new here, and the monsters are not familiar with our smell, so they dare not come out.
Catch a few savages and put them at the front of the team, and you can definitely catch the monsters."
Keir was stunned for a moment, curled his lips angrily, then raised his hand and slapped his deputy's helmet hard, saying: "You are really a genius child, you have thought of such a good idea.
Well then, I will send you to catch the savages now."
Weir was staggered by the blow, and the helmet was suddenly stuck on his face.
He hurriedly lifted up his helmet, looked at Kiel blankly, and said, "Then where can I catch him?"
Kil rolled his eyes at him and thought to himself: This idiot is hopeless~!
Then he said: "Isn't this nonsense?"
With that said, he left him and strode forward.
Will scratched the back of his head and said anxiously: "Listen to my explanation..."
At this time, a soldier suddenly raised his fist in front and shouted loudly: "We found a hole~!"
Will refreshed, forgot about his bait plan, and ran over.
At this time, soldiers had already surrounded him.
These soldiers and gangsters were talking around the cave, which was no more than one meter long and wide.
Some people pretended to be experienced and thought it looked like it was dug by monsters, while others expressed cautious optimism.
Although everyone was quarreling constantly, their faces showed expressions of anticipation and excitement.
At this time, the battalion commander rushed up from behind.
He pushed aside the crowd, lowered his head and glanced into the cave, and said, "Okay, whose turn is it?"
"It's my turn to be in our class." A sergeant squad leader responded hurriedly and jumped to the test.
The battalion commander looked at him, then nodded and said: "Okay, you go down. Pay attention to safety."
In order to avoid vicious competition among his subordinate soldiers, Battalion Commander Worster personally formulated the rules. From now on, all the monsters he defeated would be sold and the money would be shared equally by everyone, which won unanimous praise from the entire battalion.
Those who go to investigate can get three times more.
Therefore, in the past, when it was their turn to go down to the cave, the soldiers were all complaining, but now they are very excited.
Several soldiers threw down their backpacks, then picked up shotguns and filled their waists with grenades. Especially the leading soldier who opened the way put on a breastplate with the help of several people.
They picked up two special high-brightness kerosene lamps and jumped into the hole.
The others were ready outside the cave, waiting eagerly. If they really found a monster, they would blow up the passage to lure the monster out and destroy it.
The people above told them that as long as the death knell beetle feels that its territory is being violated, it will take the initiative to attack.
As for the new fire-breathing soldiers in the camp, they were kicked aside by everyone, and everyone sternly warned them that they were absolutely not allowed to do anything unless it was necessary.
The soldiers were so depressed that they all squatted on the ground and smoked. They even used a small branch to draw random circles and crosses on the ground.
It seemed that their curse was effective. After only ten minutes, the person who had entered the cave crawled out, shook his head in disappointment and said, "It's a dead end inside."
The soldiers let out a mournful wail.
But they were used to it, and this was the dozens of caves they had explored.
The battalion commander made a mark on his map, then led the soldiers and continued on their way.
Kier even began to seriously consider Weir's bait suggestion, and then felt that he was going crazy.
It was rare for Weir to come up with a solution, so until the noon break, he discussed his bait plan with other soldiers.
Another soldier from the same class hurried over, opened a box of cans, took a few big bites, and then said: "I just inquired, and the second and third battalions didn't encounter anything either."
After hearing this, the soldiers all smiled happily.
Due to the bad nature of human beings, when they don't get it, they certainly don't want to see others get it.
Will stirred the can in his hand carelessly, sighed, and said: "But it has been too quiet recently. Not to mention monsters, not even savages have been seen."
The soldiers nodded in agreement. It seemed like a long time had passed since the last battle, and they still hadn't fired a single shot.
Keir shook his head and thought to himself: These guys are crazy, they are crazy about money.
While he was grinding a piece of muscle hard with his back molars, he inadvertently raised his head and looked at the northern horizon, and vaguely seemed to see some black spots shaking.
Kil couldn't help but be startled for a moment, then patted the people around him and said, "Is there anyone north of us?"
The comrade thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Are you kidding? No one in the entire war zone can run farther than us."
"There seems to be something there." Kil pointed to the horizon in the distance and said, "No, I have to tell the squad leader."
Soon the company commander of the first company heard Kiel's report. He frowned and looked north. The horizon in the distance was just a black line, and nothing unusual could be seen.
The company commander found a two-meter-high stone, climbed up with the help of soldiers, and raised his binoculars to observe the distance carefully.
A moment later, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the camp, and the officers rushed out one after another, shouting: "Get ready to fight~!"
Upon hearing the order, the soldiers immediately dropped the cans in their hands, picked up their weapons, and built a defense line on the spot.
The soldiers who didn't know what happened were still asking each other, "What's wrong, what happened?"
Soon they knew that a large group of moving things appeared a few miles to the north. There were no coalition members further north, so they could only be enemies.
Kiel placed the machine gun on a stone more than one meter high, with his shoulder on the butt of the gun, his eyes fixed on the north, and a bad premonition arose in his heart: the enemy appeared too suddenly~!
Soon, the soldiers saw a trembling black line in the distance. They were like a black stream of water rushing towards them.
A few minutes later, someone in the crowd shouted excitedly: "It's a monster, it's a monster bug~!"
"Brothers, we are rich~!"
This was the first time that the men of the Skeleton Division shouted in victory before they could defeat the enemy.
And seeing the huge size of the enemy, not only did he not feel timid, but his fighting spirit was high.
The soldiers yelled excitedly, and everyone had only one thought in their minds: I was finally made to wait.
Look at the dark insect swarms in the distance. After this battle, I will go home, buy a house, marry a wife, and have all the money to support my wife and mistress~!
In the eyes of the soldiers, they were not countless death knell beetles, but countless gold coins jumping into their pockets.
Weir held the machine gun belt in his hand and kept chanting excitedly: "Get rich, get rich~!"
But Kil frowned: There are too many enemies in front of him, right?
The ones in front are almost within range of the rifle, and the ones behind are still pouring out in a steady stream.
Battalion Commander Worster also discovered something was wrong. The last time they blew up the insect nest, only a thousand of them jumped out.
The death knell beetles on the opposite side were charging towards them crazily, probably numbering in the tens of thousands. Whether his troops could withstand the impact of so many bugs was a question.
He is not as optimistic as his soldiers. The first thing he considers is not whether he will get rich, but whether he can defeat the enemy on the opposite side.
At this time, he could already hear the intensive "shushing, squeaking" sound made by tens of thousands of monsters running. The sound was like a sea of waves, containing terrifying power.
Under his command, the mortars opened fire first.
Groups of explosive flames lit up among the tightly packed death knell beetles.
The monster's body parts were thrown into the air along with the light of the explosion, and then fell like raindrops.
Seeing this scene, Weir muttered: "Okay, the monster's fragments can also be sold for money."
Immediately afterwards, seeing the Death Knell Beetle entering the shooting range, the officer roared: "Fire~!"
Kiel pulled the trigger, and the machine gun vibrated violently during continuous shooting. Fierce gunfire rang out in the position.
More than a dozen machine guns spurted out blazing red fire and fired towards the opposite side, intertwining into a huge fire net.
The death knell beetle running at the front was first struck by the fire, and suddenly fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and was then covered and submerged by the beetles behind it.
Immediately afterwards, the beetle that rushed up from behind was torn into pieces by the machine gun.
Kir doesn't even need to aim, the number of monsters is so dense that every bullet can hit one or several targets.
Facing the hail of bullets from a thousand Skeleton Division soldiers, the dead bodies of the Deathstroke Beetles piled up a hill in front of the position.
The subsequent death knell beetles climbed over the mountain of corpses, continued to rush forward, and were then beaten to death on the ground.
Some soldiers shouted loudly into the sky: "Oh, we are rich!"
"Kill them all and count the money until your hands cramp."
"Wait for me, Xiaohua. After this battle, I will go home and marry you."
"..."
In just three minutes, countless death knell beetles were killed, and the hill formed by the corpses of the death knell beetles was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. It continued to grow taller and longer.
What's more serious is that it is slowly but surely advancing towards the 1st Battalion's position.
Five minutes passed, and the death knell beetles were still crossing the mountain of corpses in a steady stream, rushing towards the Skeleton Division's people.
The battle started suddenly, but was very fierce. The soldiers used all their strength to shoot at the death knell beetles.
Most of the soldiers' arms were shaking due to the fierce and tense battle.
After another five minutes, there were already tens of thousands of monster corpses piled in front of them, but the death knell beetle behind them jumped over the pile of rocks and continued to rush over.
The nearest one was only a few dozen meters away from them, and the soldiers could clearly hear the piercing scream of the death knell beetle.
The soldiers of the first battalion discovered at this time that the battle was not as simple as they thought, although it was still one-sided.
But the number of enemies is too great, enough to drown them alive.
Their enemies are not humans who know how to be afraid. If they were other armies, they would have collapsed by now.
Opposite are a group of monsters who are not afraid of death.
If you don't kill them all before they rush to you, they will bite you to death.
To this day, the number of death knell beetles does not seem to be decreasing.
Kil had already exhausted all four ammunition belts, his shoulders were almost unconscious from the recoil, and the barrel of the gun was exuding hot breath.
But he didn't dare to stop and waste even a second. The only way to stop the monster was their machine gun. A single-shot rifle couldn't stop the monster at all.
But to fire another bandolier, he would have to stop and change the barrel.
Once the death knell beetles rush into the position, all that awaits a battalion of soldiers is the fate of being torn into pieces by the monsters. Their giant jaws like iron pincers can tear apart every soldier's body.
Battalion Commander Worster's face gradually darkened, and he realized that if there were no reinforcements, the Deathstroke Beetle would only need a few more minutes to rush to his position.
By then, not one of the 1,200-man camp will be able to return alive.
They were not hunting today, it was probably them being hunted by monsters.
In just ten minutes, the situation has undergone a fundamental change.
At this time, no one among the soldiers cheered anymore.
They all gritted their teeth and looked pale, loading, shooting, loading, shooting as fast as they could...
The officers also had gloomy expressions on their faces, waving their pistols and shouting at the top of their lungs: "Hold it, I'll hold it against him~!"
"If you don't want to feed the bugs, I'll beat them as hard as I can."
"No need to stop, they are coming~!"
"Hit, hit hard~!"
At this time, a sharp whistling sound passed over his head, and the heavy artillery shells made a sharp whistling sound and fell into the group of monsters.
The regimental artillery in the rear finally started firing~!
When the heavy shell fell into the monster group, it was like hot water falling into the snow. Every time it exploded, the monsters within a dozen meters around it were completely blown away.
Several heavy cannons fired continuously, and the shells that landed one after another cleared a blank area hundreds of meters wide and tens of meters wide among the death knell beetles.
The attack of the Death Knell Beetle suddenly slowed down.
Battalion Commander Worster clenched his fists and shouted, but it only slowed down for a moment, and the monsters from behind still surged forward like water.
They quickly filled the gap and continued to storm the first battalion's position.
At this time, the orderly soldier ran back in a hot sweat and said loudly: "Battal Commander, the regiment commander said that we are required to withstand it, but no one is coming to reinforce us."
Battalion Commander Worster was immediately furious. He grabbed the order soldier by the collar and shouted with a ferocious expression: "Why are there no reinforcements? We will soon be unable to withstand it."
"The second and third battalions have all encountered monsters, and the regiment commander can't draw out the troops." The orderly soldier said with a bitter face: "But the regiment commander said that reinforcements from the rear will arrive soon, and we need to support them for another five minutes. Finally,
Five minutes.”
Battalion Commander Worster was so angry that he dropped his hat and roared: "The rear? Go to hell. By the time those gangsters come over, we will have eaten all the scum left by the monsters."
But Battalion Commander Worster had no choice but to tell his men to grit their teeth and endure - at this time, even if he wanted to retreat, he couldn't evacuate.
Once you retreat and reduce the firepower, the monsters can rush in immediately.
In just five minutes, the monster advanced several tens of meters, leaving only forty or fifty meters away from Kiel and the others.
Even Weir, who had always been the most optimistic, panicked. He was sweating profusely and kept mumbling: "We are dead, Kiel, hell, we are dead.
I don’t know how sad my mother would be if she knew I was eaten by bugs.
I confess, I should not have taken your cigarette, and I also peeked at your letter..."
Just as he began to make his last confession, an oppressive roar came from the east.
This is the sound of a large object breaking through the air when it moves at high speed.
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Skeleton Division, who were locked in a bitter battle on the ground, looked up and saw four war fortresses lined up in the eastern sky, galloping towards them at a height that was almost touching the ground.
Before the soldiers could cheer, the war fortress flew over the heads of the monster group, and orange-red flames suddenly burst out from the ground, rising to a height of twenty or thirty meters.
The flames followed the war fortress and spread westward, turning into a fire dragon hundreds of meters long in the blink of an eye.
The rising flames even blew the death knell beetles on the ground into the air.
The heat wave rolled in, making people unable to breathe the air, like a strong wind blowing past Kiel and the others.
Everyone in Kiel cheered at first, but when they saw the blazing fire, they couldn't help but be stunned. Then, they all pointed at the war fortress in the sky and yelled: "These damn bitches have managed to fight so many
It’s a strange thing, but they all burned it down~!” (To be continued.
