Doomsday Totem

Chapter 190 Insect Tide
A day goes by in the blink of an eye...

At dawn, on a high ground 10KM away from the center of the ant nest, 65 Leihuo mechs were lined up in an arc, with their barrels slanting upwards slightly.Following the commander's order, the cannons retreated one by one, and a large amount of flames spewed out from the muzzles.

"咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚 咚“ ““ ““ ““ ““ “pour out the position in front of it.

"Chir... chirp... chirp... chirp... chirp... chirp... chirp..." A few seconds later, there was a continuous sound of piercing through the air, and yellow-orange bombs rained down on the empty space. On flat ground!

The moment it hit the soil layer, the warhead exploded violently, and the devastating shock wave formed a small vacuum zone. The black soil at the center of the explosion was sucked in by the vacuum, forming a hole-like fountain that soared into the sky.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom, the ground above the ant nest and insect nest shook, shrapnel flew horizontally, the soil rolled, and collapsed everywhere.In an instant, the neighing of crickets and thorns were drowned in the boundless sound of cannons.

A few seconds later, the battlefield was in a mess, with bloody and charred insect corpses everywhere.However, as soon as the bombardment stopped, ferocious triangular heads emerged from the soil layer, screaming upwards.

Immediately afterwards, the second round of shelling came...

In an instant, the top of the position was like a dark cloud covering the sun, casting a huge shadow on the ground.The scene at this moment is not about the number of shells, but the huge pressure generated by the suffocating sound of piercing the sky, which seems to darken the entire sky.The next moment, a piece of cannonball fell straight to the ground against the dawn light.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom..." Suddenly, the sound of explosions, hissing, turbulent soil and falling sand and stones mixed together, turning the whole world into a turmoil. Asura hell.

However, one wave of unrest followed another, and the third round of shelling followed...

At this moment, Jiang Yun, the commander of the sixth brigade of the Dark Forest Guard, was standing on the high ground, observing the battle situation in the distance with binoculars.

"Report to the chief, the third round of shelling has been completed." The messenger came to report.

"Continue to bomb, these bugs are very tenacious, only two rounds of ammunition are left, and the rest are all fired." Jiang Yun put down the binoculars and said in a deep voice.

"Obey." The orderly stood at attention and saluted, then turned and trotted away.

Half an hour later, the center of the ant nest and insect nest in front of it was blown up by artillery fire and the soil layer was turned over and over again.Jiang Yun observed several times repeatedly, and after confirming the results of the shelling, he pulled his white gloves and pointed forward: "Ground troops, attack!"

As the order was issued, more than 600 marines were divided into small teams and scattered in all directions.They are distributed in an arc, crossing the dense jungle, and slowly advancing towards the center of the ant nest.

Standard Marine equipment is a bulletproof vest, a helmet, an assault rifle and two fragmentation grenades and a thorn.In addition, there are a small number of marines equipped with bursting shotguns or flamethrowers. The main duty of this part of the team is to deal with swarms of crickets.

As far as humans are concerned, the real threat comes from stingers.On the one hand, thorn insects have strong vitality, and often a dozen shots of gunpowder weapons cannot kill one; It is also extremely lethal, even mechs can't bear it, let alone fragile humans.Basically, once the torso is shot, the whole body will rot, and there is no way to save it.

More than an hour later, the Marines arrived at the edge of the crypt hive.The trees here are very sparse, and most of them have bare trunks, and the leaves have been eaten by insect swarms.Further on, there is an endless open space, where all the plants have been cleaned up, and there is nothing everywhere except the wet black soil.

At this time, on the high ground in the distance, Jiang Yun was sitting on the marching chair with his legs crossed, drinking red wine leisurely, looking at the tactical map in his hand from time to time to learn about the latest battle situation.

"Chief, the [-]rd, [-]th, and [-]th Battalions are moving this way." The staff officer who was standing aside and staring at the laptop in his hand suddenly raised his head and said to Jiang Yun.The latter snorted coldly, and commented with disdain: "These grandchildren really want to be promoted like crazy, so they are all here to grab the military exploits."

"Could it be..." the staff officer pondered, guessing, "Have things changed?"

"Hmm..." Hearing this, Jiang Yun put down his wine glass and tactical map, folded his arms and began to meditate...

After a while, he suddenly slapped the marching table beside him with a "snap!", then stood up solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "Quickly stop the troops, we've fallen for it!"

The staff officer's expression changed suddenly, and he asked, "Is the information false?"

Before the words were finished, a loud growl suddenly came from the communicator.

"Military situation is wrong! We are surrounded!" "Kill! Brothers fight!" "Chief! The enemy army is too large, please retreat!" Appears to have suffered fatal injuries.

Immediately afterwards, reports, screams, and roars came and went from everywhere...

"Those grandsons!" The staff officer gritted his teeth, slammed the table down, and sighed, "For their own selfishness, they can do this."

"The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything else." Jiang Yun sighed, nodded at the staff officer and said, "I was careless, I'm sorry."

"Brother Jiang..." The staff officer seemed hesitant to speak.

"Don't talk about it, pass on the order." The young general waved his hand and said firmly: "We must fight to the death, we must hold back the insect swarm, consume their vitality as much as possible, and reduce the pressure on the defense line!"

"Obey!" The staff officer stood at attention and saluted, and immediately bowed his head to issue an order.

"The general has an order, fight to the end!" "What!" "The general has an order, fight to the end!" "Fuck!" "The general has an order, fight to the end!" "Obey!" "The general has an order, fight to the end!"" good!"

Listening to the sounds one after another, Jiang Yun sighed.In the current terrain, the cost of retreat is too high. It is better to consume the number of insect swarms as much as possible and reduce the pressure on the rear defense line.While thinking, he dialed the voice communication of the head of the Jiang family.

"Lao Liu, what's the matter?" A thick, powerful, slightly hoarse voice came from thousands of miles away.

"Brother, the sixth son can't go back." The young general said softly.

There was silence for a long while, and finally said: "Far Eastern war spirit, death is a glory." The hoarse voice seemed to have aged for decades in an instant.

"I'll leave it up to you, big brother, for family affairs." After finishing speaking, he turned off the communication, and shouted to the staff officer: "All thunder and fire evacuated backwards, and scattered the camps that joined the defense line."

"Obey." After the staff officer issued the order, Jiang Yun drew out the pistol at his waist and issued the last instruction: "Guard company, staff department, follow me!"

At the same time, on the ground near the worm nest, countless crickets burst out of the ground, screaming upwards.In an instant, swarms of bugs flocked to the garrison's position like a tide.The number of the crickets seemed to be endless. They faced the hail of bullets, trampled on the corpses of their companions, and rushed to the defense line one after another.And the dense thorn insects in the rear lined up in a square formation and moved forward.While meandering forward, shoot a volley of spikes.

In an instant, the overwhelming swarms of insects swarmed in, and the human defense line was like a solitary boat on the sea, barely resisting the invasion of the turbulent waves, as if it would be smashed into pieces by a sudden huge wave at any time.

The more than 1000 gnats and 300 thorns in the intelligence have become tens of thousands of gnats and [-] thorns.In the face of this nearly ten-fold difference in strength, the [-] defenders are like a dessert for the swarm.

About half an hour later, when the defense line was crumbling and the ammunition was exhausted, a firm and loud voice sounded from the rear of the position: "Brothers! Let them always remember the tenacity and indomitability of human beings!"

"The sixth garrison team in the dark forest, listen to my orders and charge!" The arrival of the general aroused the last fighting spirit of the soldiers.They mounted their bayonets one after another, gathered together, followed the figure of the young general, and launched a final charge towards the overwhelming swarm of insects.

Suddenly, there were killing sounds and wailing, and the hundreds of figures were gradually submerged in the denser and denser insect swarm.

Two hours later...

The news of Jiang Yun's death, the captain of the sixth garrison brigade in the dark forest, reached a mansion on No. 13 Yincheng Central Street.In the room full of books, various instruments and antiques, an old man in his 60s is sitting at a large desk.At this moment, there was a young and beautiful girl standing beside him. The girl's eye circles were a little reddish. She put one hand on the old man's shoulder to comfort him gently, and the other hand was hanging powerlessly by her side.

"Sixth Uncle's heroic soul is always there, but he just returned to the mourning hall. Please...please, the Patriarch, please let us know your condolences, Yaoer... Yaoer..." The old man raised his hand, motioning her to stop talking.The girl nodded obediently and said nothing.

In the quiet study room, time passed by every minute...

When looking back in a daze, the old man was already in tears, and the tears slowly slid down along the old wrinkles.After a while, he silently opened the drawer beside him, took out an ancient flute, and played it softly.The melodious sound of the flute spread far away, and with reluctance and longing, it flew to a distant place...

We wake up from the mountains,
mount a young elephant,
White tea and spring are our life,
Freedom is everything to us.

We wandered through the mountains and bamboo forests,
Bringing beasts and mushrooms to the people,

Beloved, please hang a lantern under the rain eaves to guide our return,
We will return to you loaded with treasures from distant mountains,

Beside the warm stove, put on the most beautiful fur for you.

If one day,
we didn't come back,

please don't be sad

We just returned to the embrace of the distant mountains,
fell asleep peacefully...
