But right now, the most threatening thing is not the mountains of mutant ants. Although the mutant ants are too numerous to count, they can still be killed by firearms and other weapons.
The most frightening ones are the mutated hedgehogs that were not aggressive to humans in the past. In the past, this timid species would cower up in fear and dare not show their heads when in danger.
But now it is acting as a shield for the ant army. What happened? These are two completely different species! How could they unite and cooperate so well?
Each of the mutant hedgehogs pressed their heads very low, almost pushing forward against the soil. Bullets could not penetrate their natural armor at all.
Although the gunfire was intensive, the soldiers fought back tenaciously. Although the corpses of ants piled up on the battlefield, the encirclement was shrinking rapidly. At this rate, it won't take more than a few minutes for humanity's defenses to completely collapse.
This is basically the worm sea tactic, using the lives of countless mutant beasts to push forward. Why do they do this? If these mutated ants and mutated hedgehogs have certain intelligence, there can be no reason for doing this.
But why? This makes everyone puzzled. If it weren't for the deep hatred, no species would be able to do such a thing. Even if it doesn't have any intelligence, then it should have a sense of self-preservation, right?
"Aren't you a researcher? If we don't analyze the reason quickly, we will be eaten up before the rescue team arrives, and we will become martyrs by then." Sun Ye urged with a frown. He was responsible for the collection and processing of supplies and had never left Hope Island.
When I came out this time, I thought it would be a rare opportunity to have a look outside of Hope Island. Unexpectedly, he encountered a wave of insects. He was so unlucky.
As for being eaten, he doesn't have much fear. In this era, death is no longer the biggest fear of human beings. The education he received when he was very young is that in the biological world, Hope Island is like a granary for mutant beasts. As long as the mutants Beast Ken, Hope Island may be destroyed at any time.
If you want to survive, you must have a strong psychological quality, you must be able to remain calm in the face of danger, and you must calmly look for opportunities to survive even in the face of death, because their ancestors survived in such an environment. of.
In this world, humans no longer have an absolutely safe harbor, and all they can do is linger on, holding on to the last bit of hope.
Hope Island is as small as a grain of rice in front of the entire continent. The humans living on it have no ability to compete with the mutant beasts that have taken over the entire planet.
So he is not afraid. Death is just one day sooner or later for everyone. Hope Island will eventually be exterminated by mutant beasts. Back when humans ruled the planet, how powerful were humans back then? Didn't it also fail to resist the rapid expansion of this mutated beast?
Human beings have faith. Although everyone knows that they will face death at any time, who doesn't want to see the world that once belonged to humans for one more day? Who doesn’t have the dream that mankind can regain control of the world? Who is willing to die if he can live?
Birth, aging, sickness and death are natural laws and no one can escape them, but who can be willing to bear the outcome of being eaten by mutant beasts?
Mi Yuesheng seemed to look older. Although it was only within half an hour, his eyes did not have the brilliance before.
Just half an hour ago, he was still working hard for human survival, but half an hour later he felt the call of the God of Death. The reality is so cruel, so cruel that it doesn't even allow for an adaptation process, and the disaster strikes so suddenly.
Now he and Sun Ye can escape in a helicopter, but in the future, if they leave behind so many soldiers who fought bravely and escape, what will their status be like in the minds of mankind in the future.
Therefore, even though he was nervous, even though every muscle in his body was trembling nervously, he could not escape. He was not the only high-status person here, but also Sun Ye, and the officers, including the squad leader, the platoon leader... ..., none of these people have any intention of retreating, can he do that? If I do that, will I no longer have a foothold on Hope Island?
Yes, many people will tremble when faced with such a terrifying situation and choose to flee. But now they are waiting in the rear to condemn the deserters, using them as objects to vent their oppression. That result is not much better than facing an army of insects, or even worse than being eaten by mutated ants. In that case, at least he died in the line of duty for humanity.
"Attention all soldiers, stay hidden,"
"All soldiers, please be careful and take cover." The two helicopters ended their hovering around the crater and flew slowly over the crater.
"Is another cleanup bombing going to start again? Is it too soon to be able to withstand it again?" Sun Ye sighed and helped Mi Yuesheng climb down from the giant skull.
A large depression has been dug out under the giant skull, which can be used for shelter. No other mutated animal bones were found under this suspected skull, which made them start to doubt whether it was a skull after all. But we cannot completely deny the possibility that it was buried due to nuclear cleanup. It was not actually an earth beast, but was buried after being killed by a huge energy explosion.
The soldiers lying on the edge of the pit quickly retreated downwards, and then held their heads with their arms. The tails of the two helicopters faced each other and began to hover over the giant crater. It was as if something connected the tails of the two helicopters, and the fuselage rotated 360 degrees outward with the tail as the center.
Four missiles sprayed out a thick white smoke from the two helicopters, swooping down in four directions, and then the helicopters suddenly increased their roar and climbed straight up.
Such a strike can be carried out twice. Each helicopter can only carry eight such missiles. After the attack, they can only rely on the firearms in the hands of those soldiers.
Buzz.
The huge explosion drowned out everything, and the flying earth and gravel covered the sky. The sky seemed to turn into a dark night in an instant, and the bright lights that were barely revealed were like the bright stars at night. The entire sky was shrouded in explosions. If it weren't for this giant crater, such a terrifying explosion would have wiped out their bodies in an instant.
The off-road vehicle suddenly jumped and almost capsized while driving. Gauze scrambled to stabilize the vehicle body, and a thick smoke was rising not far away. The two helicopters were rising rapidly with the smoke caused by the explosion, and the black smoke from the engines was as thick as if the fuselage was on fire.
