Chapter 023: Mysterious Monster

"How can it not be possible?" replied a squad leader.

"Sir, you don't know what's going on here." Another one said with an indifferent expression. "There won't be any large insect tide here. It's the largest insect tide in fifty years. How many bugs do you think there are? More than a hundred, which is not enough for these brothers to practice their marksmanship."

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

Ever since he received this mission, he had felt uneasy for no apparent reason, as if there was some terrible danger hidden in this seemingly stable mission. He attaches great importance to this feeling of his, because it is this feeling that allowed him to protect his team members without casualties in the previous defensive battle.

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

The two team captains looked at Shen Zheng and saw something in his cold eyes that made their bodies shiver, so they finally became nervous and stood up straight.

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

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

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

"I broke out in a cold sweat!" one replied.

"Me too……"

Under Shen Zheng's supervision, before dark the next day, all the weapons in the entire small fortress were in place, and all the soldiers were assigned to corresponding positions. The night shift was also carefully arranged, and the entire small fortress was completely in a state of emergency preparation.

In this state, two more days passed and nothing happened. Just when the soldiers thought 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 came from far to near, coming here.

"Oh my God!" A team leader looked at the insect sound discriminator and shouted in surprise. "How is that possible? Where did they come from? Fall from the sky? Come out of the ground? They are only one kilometer away from us, how come the insect sound discriminator has just discovered them?"

"Prepare for emergency battle!" Shen Zheng, who had been guarding the insect sound discriminator, stood up and strode towards the fortress wall, looking at the direction where the insect sound signal appeared.

There are continuous mountain peaks, with countless stinky sage growing crazily, and tall trees mixed in, blocking people's sight. Shen Zheng squinted and looked there. After a moment, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his mind. He pointed at a hillside covered by big trees and shouted: "Bombard that place with long-range artillery, quickly!"

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

Among the rocks, there were fragments of insect beetles, and amid the scattered flames, there were also the whining sounds of insects.

"Hit, hit!" the two team captains shouted desperately.

"Order the machine guns to prepare!" Shen Zheng gave the order decisively.

"Yes!" This time the two team captains did not hesitate anymore, but hurriedly issued orders 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 insect tide finally stopped hiding and poured out directly from there. From that hillside, nearly three thousand insects rushed in like a tide. Although the fire from the three artillery pieces was fierce, the number was too small to pose much of a threat to the insect tide.

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

"Thank you for forcing us to be prepared, otherwise this time we would be..." A team leader wiped his sweat and felt lingering fear. [

"Stop talking and prepare for close combat!" Shen Zheng quietly stared at the insect swarm in the distance. The black carapace slowly emerged from the skin and wrapped himself up. Two sharp blades came out of his left and right arms. The ten fingers turned into sharp claws, and explosions began to condense in the palms of both hands.

The two team captains couldn't help but swallowed when they saw this.

Oh my god, how many worms are there? Is this...is this still a human being?

Under the machine gun fire, several bugs were torn into pieces, but more bugs, under the cover of their companions, stepped forward on the corpses of their own kind, arrived under the fortress, and then climbed up the outer wall. Climbing up, after sacrificing several of the same kind, they finally reached the fortress defense platform.

Close combat inevitably unfolded. Three hundred human soldiers faced more than a thousand bugs, with an average of four to five bugs per person. Everyone knew that this was an extremely dangerous battle and did not dare to be careless. .

Shen Zheng's one hundred soldiers have already taught the defenders here the fighting method of forming a battle group in groups according to Shen Zheng's previous instructions. Now these defenders are grouped according to this method to fight against the insects, and each other Taking care of him, there wasn't much danger for a while.

Shen Zheng raised his hands and fired out several bursts, which bloomed among the insects crawling around the city. He then fired a spear with one hand, causing the limbs and armor of several insects to fly away.

He no longer restrained his power, and the insect power came 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 seemed to be going so smoothly, and it seemed that as long as we persisted for a while, this insect wave would be completely suppressed.

But Shen Zheng inexplicably felt a shuddering sense of danger, as if he were walking barefoot on the edge of a cliff and might suddenly fall into the abyss at any time.

How is this going? Shen Zheng smashed the head of a spiny claw insect with one punch and looked around. There are insects all around, surrounding the human soldiers, but they cannot bring annihilation to mankind.

The danger doesn't come from them, not at all. So who could it be? Where will it be? Why can't I feel it this time?

This feeling surrounded him and made him feel restless. He frowned and looked around, sending insects to hell one after another, but the uneasiness in his heart could not be relieved.

At this moment, an extreme sense of danger suddenly made the hairs on his body stand up, and he couldn't help but shudder. He felt something 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 yelled, suddenly pushed a squad leader beside him far away, and at the same time jumped into the air with all his strength.

At this moment, the platform under his feet was suddenly violently smashed by a silver shadow. As the rocks scattered, the silver shadow rose into the air and struck directly at Shen Zheng in the air.

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

What's this?

That silver shadow was a monster that was more than three meters long and was surrounded by a hard insect-like carapace. The reason why it was called a monster was because although it had an insect's carapace, its body was very different from that of an insect. It has a long neck, and its body is divided into a head, chest and abdomen. It does not have too many claws, but has four limbs.

The limbs are thick and strong, with sharp claws on them, and the big head has insect-like red compound eyes, but under the eyes is a big mouth like a lion's mouth, with a thick tongue and sharp teeth sticking out of the mouth. Shining light.

Is this an insect or a beast?

In shock, Shen Zheng didn't have time to think about it, because the guy's big mouth had already opened and bit him hard on the body. Shen Zheng suppressed the shock in his heart, bowed quickly in the air, then stretched out, and flew to the side with the leaping skill of a spiny claw insect, avoiding the monster's bite. [

The monster's bite failed, and its red eyes flashed fiercely. It fell to the ground, roared, and rushed to the side, attacking a squad leader.

The squad leader was also a possessor of the ability of the Saberpod. A pair of slender bone blades on his arms shone coldly in the sun. When he saw the monster rushing toward him, he did not flinch. Instead, he roared and faced it, using his right arm. Move forward and slash at the monster's head with one knife.

But the monster just tilted its head slightly to dodge the attack, and pressed its sharp claws directly on the squad leader's chest. It used the force of the attack to push the squad leader to the ground, and its sharp claws directly hit the squad leader's chest. It stabbed into the squad leader's chest hard. Regardless of the sharp thrusts of these claws, the force of this claw attack had already shattered the squad leader's sternum, and the huge impact caused spiderweb-like cracks in the concrete floor below.

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

"Asshole!" At this moment, Shen Zheng had just landed and stood firm in the distance. Seeing this scene, his eyes couldn't help but burst with anger. He raised his hand while roaring, and fired dozens of spears one after another, hitting the monster.

The monster turned suddenly, and those spears hit its carapace and were immediately fired. The tips of all the spears were flattened, losing their attack power and falling to the ground far away.

What a strong defense!

Shen Zheng was slightly surprised. You must know that in order to achieve this level of defense, the monster's carapace must be at least as hard as the steel armor on his body. And judging from the distance the spears were flown and the damage done, it seems that they are harder than the ones on his body. Steel carapace is much harder.

The monster's eyes were like insect eyes, without eyelids, and red light flashed under the hard red shell. It slowly raised the claw that had scratched the squad leader's chest, and blood dripped down the claw to the ground. Tick ​​tick tick.

Shen Zheng's expression gradually turned cold, and the fluctuations in his heart gradually calmed down. Insect power surged in his body, filling every part of his body, but there was silence in Tou Zhan's mind, like the eye of the wind - the wind started from here, but here, it was the most peaceful. .
