Chapter 023: Mysterious Monster

"How can it be?" A small captain replied.

"Sir, you don't know what's going on here." Another said indifferently. "There won't be any large bug swarm here, the biggest bug swarm in 50 years, how many bugs do you think there are? More than a hundred, not enough for these brothers to practice marksmanship."

Shen Zheng looked at the two captains, somewhat understanding their disapproval, but understanding does not mean support.

Ever since he received this task, he has been inexplicably restless, as if there is some terrible danger hidden in this seemingly safe task.He attaches great importance to this feeling of himself, because it is this feeling that allowed him to protect his team members from casualties in the previous defensive battle.

"What if there is an exception this time?" He looked at the two captains, "At that time, will you be responsible for the lives of three hundred soldiers?"

The two team leaders looked at Shen Zheng, and saw something in his cold eyes that made them feel chills, so they finally became nervous and stood up straight.

"Don't let me repeat this order a third time." Shen Zheng said, "otherwise someone will accept military sanctions."

"Yes!" The two team leaders hurriedly saluted. After Shen Zheng turned and left, both of them let out a sigh of relief and looked at each other.

"How are you... feeling?" one asked.

"I'm in a cold sweat!" replied one.

"Me too……"

Under Shen Zheng's urging, all the weapons in the entire small fortress were in place before dark the next day, and all the soldiers were also assigned to corresponding positions.Night shifts were also carefully arranged, and the entire small fortress was in a state of emergency preparations.

In this state, another two days passed, and nothing happened.Just when the soldiers felt that they could relax and breathe a sigh of relief, the insect sound discriminator suddenly issued a warning, and the signal of a large group of insects approached from far and near, coming towards this side.

"Oh my God!" A small team leader looked at the insect sound discriminator and exclaimed in astonishment. "How is it possible? Where did they come from? Did they fall from the sky? Drilled from the ground? It's only one kilometer away from us. Why did the insect sound discriminator just find them?"

"Prepare for emergency battle!" Shen Zheng, who had been guarding the insect sound distinguisher, stood up, strode towards the fortress wall, and looked towards the side where the insect sound signal appeared.

There are continuous mountain peaks, countless squirrel grasses are growing crazily, and tall trees are mixed among them, blocking people's sight.Shen Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at that place. After a while, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his mind. He pointed to a hillside covered by big trees and shouted: "Bombard that place with long-range artillery, hurry up!"

"Yes!" While the two team leaders were still surprised, Shen Zheng's personal soldiers had already completed the work of saluting, contacting the artillery, explaining the location and ordering the artillery to fire.In an instant, the only three long-range cannons in the small fort roared one after another, turning the hillside into a catastrophic place with scattered rocks, flying flames and scattered flames.

Among the chaotic rocks, fragments of insect shells were mixed, and amidst the scattered flames, there were also wailing insects.

"It's hit, it's hit!" The two team leaders shouted desperately.

"Order the cannon to get ready!" Shen Zheng ordered decisively.

"Yes!" This time, the two team leaders didn't hesitate anymore, but hastily issued an order to the subordinates operating the machine guns. The eleven machine guns immediately adjusted their angles and aimed at the hillside.

The long-range artillery was still roaring, and the swarm of insects finally stopped hiding and rushed out from there.From that hillside, almost [-] insects came rushing in like a tide. Although the fire from the three cannons was fierce, but because the number was too small, they could not pose much threat to the insect swarm.

At this time, the machine guns began to fire intensively.

"Thanks to you forcing us to prepare, otherwise this time..." A team leader wiped his sweat with lingering fear. [

"Stop talking, get ready for close combat!" Shen Zheng quietly watched the swarm of insects in the distance, the black carapace slowly emerged from the skin to wrap himself, two sharp blades drilled out from the left and right arms, The ten fingers turned into sharp claws, and the bursts began to condense in the palms of both hands.

Seeing this, the two captains couldn't help swallowing.

Oh my god, how many worms is this implanted?This... is this still a human being?

Under the fire of machine guns, several worms were torn into pieces, but more worms marched forward under the cover of their companions, stepping on the corpses of the same kind, came under the fort, and climbed up the outer wall. Climbing, after sacrificing several of the same kind, they finally reached the fort defense platform.

The close combat inevitably unfolded. Three hundred human soldiers faced more than 1000 insects. On average, each person had to face four to five insects. Everyone knew that this was an extremely dangerous battle, and they dared not be careless.

Shen Zheng's one hundred soldiers have already taught the defenders here the way of fighting in groups of several people according to Shen Zheng's previous instructions. Now these defenders are grouped in this way to fight against the bugs. Take care, there is not much danger for a while.

Shen Zheng raised both hands, and several bursts flew out, blooming among the insects climbing the city, and then fired the sharp spear with one hand, hitting several insects' limbs and armor flying away.

He no longer suppressed his strength, and the insect power emanated out like a tide. The sharp claws, sharp arm blades, and strong fists flew up and down, sending the fierce insects into the abyss of hell.

Everything seems to be going so smoothly, it seems that as long as they persist for a while, this bug swarm will be completely suppressed.

But Shen Zheng inexplicably felt a trembling sense of danger, as if walking barefoot on the edge of a cliff, he would suddenly fall into the abyss at any moment.

How is this going?Shen Zheng smashed the head of a thorn claw insect with one punch, and looked around.There are insects all around, surrounding the human soldiers, but they can't bring disaster to human beings.

The danger does not come from them, never.So who would it be?where will it beWhy can't I feel it this time?

This feeling haunted him and made him feel restless.He frowned and looked around, sending bugs one by one to hell, but the uneasiness in his heart could not be alleviated.

At this moment, an extreme sense of danger suddenly made the hairs on his whole body stand on end, and he couldn't help shivering.He felt that something was coming from under his feet, trying to swallow him up and pull him into the abyss of hell.

"Get out of the way!" In desperation, he roared, and suddenly drove a team leader beside him far away, and at the same time jumped up into the air with all his strength.

At this moment, the platform under his feet was suddenly smashed by a silver shadow. Amidst the scattered rocks, the silver shadow rose into the sky and directly attacked Shen Zheng who was in the air.

At this extremely dangerous moment, Shen Zheng's vision instantly became extremely sensitive, he stared closely at the silver shadow flying from below, and his heart tightened suddenly.

what is this?

That silver shadow is a monster with a body length of more than three meters and is surrounded by hard insect carapace. The reason why it is called a monster is because although it has an insect carapace, its body is quite different from that of insects.It has a long neck, and its body is divided into head, chest and abdomen. It doesn't have too many claws, but has four limbs.

The limbs are thick and strong, with sharp claws on them, and the red compound eyes of insects on the big head, but there is a big mouth like a lion's mouth under the eyes, with a thick tongue and sharp teeth protruding from the mouth shining.

Is this a worm or a beast?

Shen Zheng didn't have time to think about it in astonishment, because the guy's big mouth had already opened, biting his body fiercely.Shen Zheng suppressed the astonishment in his heart, quickly bowed his body in the air, then stretched out, and flew to the side with the leaping stunt of the claw insect, avoiding the monster's bite. [

As soon as the monster failed to bite, its red eyes flashed fiercely, and it jumped to the ground with a low growl, and then rushed to the side, attacking a small team leader.

The team leader is also the owner of the saberfoot ability, with a pair of slender bone blades on his arms, shining coldly in the sun, seeing the monster pounce on him, he did not flinch, but greeted him with a roar, his right arm Going forward, he slashed at the monster's head.

But the monster just tilted its head slightly and dodged the slash. Its sharp claws directly pressed on the team leader's chest. He stabbed hard into the captain's chest.No matter how many stabs of the sharp claws, just the power of this claw pounce has already shattered the squad leader's breastbone, and the huge impact force also knocked out spider web-like cracks on the concrete floor below.

Blood spurted out of his mouth like a fountain, the team leader's eyes widened unwillingly, and he raised his head desperately, as if he wanted to make a final struggle, but finally fell softly down.

"Bastard!" At this moment, Shen Zheng had just landed in the distance and stood still. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help being furious, he raised his hand amidst a roar, and dozens of sharp spears flew out one after another, hitting the monster.

The monster turned around suddenly, those prismatic spears hit its carapace, and were immediately fired. The sharp points of all the prismatic spears were flattened, and they lost their attack power and fell to the ground far away.

Such a strong defense!

Shen Zheng was slightly surprised.You know, to achieve this level of defense, the monster's carapace is at least as hard as the steel armor on his body, and judging by the distance and damage of those prismatic spears, it seems to be stronger than the armor on his body. The steel carapace is much stronger.

The monster's eyes are the same as worm eyes, without eyelids. There is a red light flashing under the hard red shell. It slowly lifts up the claw that crushed the captain's chest, and blood drips down the claw to the ground. Tick ​​tick tick.

Shen Zheng's expression gradually became cold, and the fluctuations in his heart gradually calmed down.Insect power surged in his body, filling every part of his body, but the mind standing on the head was peaceful, like the eye of the wind in the wind—the wind came from here, but here, it was the most peaceful .
