The battle started again.

The soldiers around them tried their best to suppress the unspeakable panic, and pulled the trigger on these resurrected skeletons.The steel barrage swept towards the skeleton group like a violent hurricane, quickly sweeping these skeletons down in pieces.The sound of bone shattering kept ringing in my ears, fierce and clear, like some kind of victory horn with a weird tone.However, this time, no one felt that the voice sounded carefree.

Not long after, the group of skeletons in the sand valley turned into white bones scattered all over the ground again, but at this time, everyone didn't feel any relaxed feeling, on the contrary, they were more nervous than in the battle.Everyone is worried that the resurrection incident just now will happen again. For our group of people, weird enemies are not terrible, but enemies that cannot be killed no matter what must be terrible.Therefore, after breaking up all the skeletons, we retreated to the outside of Shagu almost without delay, without even the most basic discussion.Even so, we have not escaped the entanglement of bad luck.Just as everyone retreated to the gate of Yangu, the scalp-numbing "rustling" sound rang in my ears again.

Hearing the sound, everyone hurriedly speeded up and ran towards the gate without even turning their heads.Everyone knows that this kind of sound means that our worries have become a reality, and those bones must have started to gather and piece together again, and it will not be long before they get up again and pounce on us.How they came back to life is no longer important, the most important thing at this moment is obviously only one thing, and that is to find a way to get out of here!

It is a pity that our thoughts did not come true, and the pace of retreat had to be stopped as soon as we stepped through the gate.No one could have imagined that those weird skeletons were not the only ones we saw, and there were even a lot of them in the small open space around them.Thus, another sudden battle began helplessly.

bullet.Gunpowder smoke, broken bones, yellow sand...

We seem to be stuck in a fixed pattern, and we can only keep shooting at waves of skeletons mechanically.The group of skeletons around him shattered and reassembled, got up and shattered, and the cycle repeated.It's like a never ending cycle.The endless fighting made the soldiers' breaths gradually start to become short of breath, and the shaking of the muzzle became bigger and bigger.The huge pressure is like an invisible cloud of lead pressing on our sides, and it seems that every breath becomes extremely difficult.

How long... can you hold on?

Ammunition is constantly decreasing, and everyone's physical strength is also constantly being consumed.To make matters worse, I gradually discovered that the resurrection speed of those skeletons after they were shattered was also gradually increasing, faster and faster each time, as if they had adapted to the rhythm of the battle.With this ebb and flow, it won't be long before we're running out of ammunition and food.And these skeletons that are entangled with us will obviously not stop attacking because we no longer resist, so we must soon become a pile of fresh minced meat.

No, it can't go on like this!

Realizing this, I hastily called out to the soldiers around me to fill my position, then quickly retreated behind the line of defense and called Yazak to my side.After a few words, I made it clear to him what was on my mind.Yazak couldn't help sighing heavily after hearing this, and said:

"I've been thinking about this matter for a while. However, I haven't figured out how to solve it. We only have guns at hand now. Without bombs and other range-destroying weapons, it is impossible to open the fire in a short time. There is no route that can be directly withdrawn. Now we can only move forward slowly like this. I think, as long as we can reach the passage of the cave, we may be able to break out."

"Not necessarily," I shook my head, and said worriedly, "I thought that witch just ran away. However, judging from the current situation, they might have arranged these ambushes, so they didn't Take us people seriously. In people's minds, maybe we have been judged as dead. In this way, I guess it is very likely that these monsters were arranged in those cave passages, or there are other things."

Yazak was startled when he heard this, but soon realized that my worry was not unreasonable, and turned to say with great distress: "This... ah! So what should I do now?"

"Melee combat!" I gritted my teeth and said what I was thinking, "We don't know if there are more monsters on the road ahead, so we can only save ammunition as much as possible just in case. Taking advantage of the terrain here It is relatively open, and there is still some room for turning around in the fight, the only way we can do it now is to give up using guns and use close-to-hand combat to fight our way out."

Yazak was silent for a few seconds, and then nodded solemnly, his eyes couldn't help being stained with a layer of blood with determination.

The description of our conversation is a lot of words, but in fact it only took a minute or two.Only after this short period of time, when I looked back at the battlefield again, I found that several skeletons that had been scattered just now had climbed up after being reassembled. The recovery speed of this group of monsters was obvious. Speeded up a lot.Seeing the situation, Yazak immediately put his assault rifle on his back, pulled out the scimitar behind him and raised it above his head, and shouted at the soldiers around him.

The soldiers of Elias immediately changed their formation when they heard the sound. Except for a few who stood in front and continued to maintain the line of defense with bullets, the others all put away their guns, and then immediately drew the scimitar from their waists. Come out and hold it tightly in your hand.The sharp blade shone with a dazzling cold light in the sun, and a murderous aura spread around us immediately.The bewilderment and fear just now were immediately smashed to pieces by the boiling blood. Now that it was time to desperately, life and death would naturally be ignored.

I drew out the dagger and gave a loud shout, kicked hard and jumped out, piercing straight into the crowd of skeletons like the tip of a knife.At the same time, the fighters of Elias screamed loudly, followed my footsteps and launched a charge, brandishing a scimitar and fighting with densely packed skeletons.For a moment, the crisp sound of the blade chopping bones mixed with the heroic shouts of killing, and it went straight into the sky.The bright red blood and pale bones danced in mid-air, like a strange ball of life and death.

This battle was much fiercer than any of the earlier ones.Although there are many dangers in hand-to-hand combat with no room for maneuver, for our purpose of breaking out, this method is more effective than the long-range attack just now.It didn't take long for us to wade through a bloody path among the skeletons and quickly approached the cave.At this moment, a soldier in the rear team suddenly fell to the ground due to lack of energy, and was surrounded by several skeletons in the blink of an eye.Seeing this, several comrades-in-arms near him hurried to rescue, but it was too late. After they smashed all the skeletons, the soldier had already fallen into a pool of blood and was breathless.

The first martyr appeared.Although we have been psychologically prepared for this situation, we still feel sad when we see our comrades in arms pass away.However, the situation on the battlefield is extremely dangerous, and no matter how sad we are, we cannot stop now.Even, we couldn't even grab the soldier's body and bury it.

Everyone turned their grief into anger, and then released their anger on those disgusting monsters with the sharp blades in their hands.As a result, the team's assault speed has accelerated a lot, and the entrance of the cave is getting closer and closer to us.Everyone is trying their best to break out towards the entrance of the cave, and no one realizes that we have made an irreparable mistake.It wasn't until the team was a short distance away from the entrance of the cave that the sudden shout from behind slammed this terrifying fact in front of everyone's eyes.

The shout was extremely shrill, and the distorted tone revealed great panic.I hurriedly turned my head to look, and saw a soldier at the end of the line standing there blankly with a scimitar, trembling like sifting chaff.His eyes were fixed on the group of skeletons not far away, and he didn't even care about the skeletons that were approaching him, as if there was something there that suddenly took his soul away.

I followed his gaze and looked forward, and a bone-piercing clammy feeling swept over my whole body, as if I was suddenly thrown into a pool of ice water in three or nine days.A figure that just got up from the sand appeared in my line of sight. It was not a skeleton, but a corpse that was transforming into a skeleton.That is, our comrade-in-arms who just passed away!

Minutes earlier, we had seen him fall dead before our eyes.Unexpectedly, at this moment, I watched him get up from the ground again with my own eyes.However, at this time, he was no longer a person, and he couldn't even be regarded as a complete corpse. It could only be regarded as a pile of white bones and flesh and blood.The clothes on his body had gone to nowhere for a long time, and even the skin was not much left, only some broken flaps were still hanging on his body.His muscles were flowing down strangely, as if they had all melted into blood.Once the bright red liquid touched the sand, it immediately turned into countless small streams of blood and rushed to the surroundings, quickly climbing up to the pale white skeletons around like bloody little snakes.And those skeletons quickly turned red after being contaminated by these liquids, and a layer of meat film appeared on the dry bones, as if they were about to regenerate flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood on that soldier's body was rapidly draining, becoming less and less, while the surrounding bloody skeletons became more and more.After just ten seconds, dozens of bright red skeletons appeared in the pale white skeleton group, and our original comrade-in-arms became one of them, and we could no longer tell them apart.

Suddenly, these newly formed blood-red skeletons rushed towards us, their speed was so fast that it was more than several times faster than the original speed.The soldier who was stunned in place was surrounded in the blink of an eye, and he didn't even have time to react.A scream came out from the blood-colored skeleton group continuously, extremely shrill, like a distorted death knell.
