"Throw it away quickly. Don't be reluctant to part with this thing." Huang Qilong pointed at Jian Yongguang's right hand with a pale face and said half-jokingly.
Only then did Jian Yongguang realize that he was still holding a grenade with the pull tab removed. Although there would be no problem with the grenade as long as the safety was on and the pull tab was inserted back, under the current situation it was impossible to find the pull tab again.
Throwing a grenade towards a deserted place, Jian Yongguang turned around and helped up the weak Huang Qilong.
"Are you okay?" Jian Yongguang pointed to Huang Qilong's waist, which was still bleeding.
"He probably won't die, if the bleeding can be stopped." Huang Qilong tugged at the corner of his mouth, stood up with Jian Yongguang's help, and looked at the battlefield where the insects remained.
Very few of the military vehicles with lights on were damaged, and the city that was originally illuminated almost returned to darkness.
The few remaining soldiers had gathered around and stood silently in front of Huang Qilong.
There were heavy casualties. The original force of more than fifty people now had less than seven people left including Huang Qilong and Jian Yongguang.
Why can't be said, because there is another soldier whose right arm was torn off by an insect, and a steady stream of blood seeped out from the simple bandage.
Huang Qilong's lips trembled with dead skin as he looked at the only five soldiers left in front of him. He clenched and loosened his right fist in the blank eyes of the soldiers.
At this moment, he wanted to say something inspiring, just like those high-spirited speeches he had made on the high platform.
But looking at the soldiers who suffered heavy casualties, Huang Qilong was speechless and closed his open mouth again.
In his opinion, those casualty reports from the frontier were just cold numbers. But it wasn't until he actually stood on the front line that he realized that those numbers represented the fresh lives that passed away in front of him in the blink of an eye. They were the soldiers under his command who were still alive and kicking a second ago.
"Let's go." After a long time, Huang Qilong finally spit out the two weak bytes from his mouth.
Huang Qilong felt that he was sorry for them, sorry for the dead soldiers, and even more sorry for the people who were still alive.
But what can he do?
In front of him were these soldiers, and behind him was the lofty rich man, surrounded by insects that had disappeared for unknown reasons.
But he could only leave these soldiers who died here, not even able to collect their bodies, and ran away like a defeated dog.
Huang Qilong vaguely understood many things. His incompetence had killed many people who should not have died.
The soldiers didn't speak or ask why. They just quickly gathered their ammunition and climbed into the military vehicle that could still be started to start the engine.
It is their bounden duty to obey orders.
After wiping the mucus on his face, Jian Yongguang felt a stinging pain on his face.
After a cursory inspection, Jian Yongguang found that the insect's splashing mucus had corroded his face into pits, and blood slowly flowed out of those pits.
Jian Yongguang knew that he might have been disfigured, but there was no emotion in his heart. Compared with those who have died, what is disfigurement?
Looking at the headless insect corpse in the darkness, Jian Yongguang knew very well that the insect could not have been killed by them. With their strength, it was impossible to beat the insect like this. There was someone else who killed the insect.
When darkness came, many things happened that would have been impossible in the sunshine era. It was not a big surprise if there were people who could kill the bugs.
And if people who can kill bugs were allowed to join the army, why would they suffer such heavy casualties?
But time is tight at this moment, and Jian Yongguang cannot think about it carefully. After a cursory glance, Jian Yongguang climbed into the military vehicle.
The engine roared, leaving a bloody mess on the ground, and the convoy slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Listening to the silence outside the window, Li Fugui set a three-hour alarm on his watch, then got into the thick quilt and prepared to sleep.
A battle had just broken out between soldiers and bugs, and naturally there were some leftover guns and ammunition. Li Fugui is still rich in resources, but what he lacks most are guns and ammunition.
Although the bugs downstairs have been removed now, there are still bugs from other places wandering here. For safety reasons, Li Fugui decided to wait for the energy in his body to recover to three units before going down to collect ammunition.
It takes three hours to recover three units of energy, and he can take advantage of these three hours to take a rest.
After checking the pistol, kitchen knife and various equipment, Li Fugui closed his eyes and fell asleep holding the pistol.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Fugui felt a rustling sound coming from outside the door, waking him up from his half-asleep state.
Li Fugui stood up from the thick quilt in the living room, picked up the pistol and gently loaded the pistol and turned on the safety.
Having experienced the baptism of the dark ages, Li Fugui would not dare to sleep too hard even with one eye open when sleeping. He slept in the living room so that he could hear the sounds outside the door and react as quickly as possible.
Looking out through the peephole on the door, Li Fugui found three men already standing at the door.
A tall and thin man was holding a candle in a bowl, a man of medium height but a bit fat was looking around, and the last short and thin man was trying to pry open the door of Li Fugui's house. Security door!
"Are you okay?" the tall, thin man asked softly, anxiously.
The short and thin man was sweating and fiddling with the tools in his hands nervously: "Quick, quick."
Suddenly the short and thin man's expression relaxed, and there was a crisp click from the security door: "It's open!"
The tall and thin man impatiently opened the security door in front of him. The fat man also rushed over after hearing this. However, as the security door opened, a beam of bright light blinded the eyes of the three of them.
The source of the bright light was Li Fugui holding a pistol.
"Ha, your lock-picking skills are quite good." Li Fugui sneered.
The three of them were obviously not mentally prepared. The moment they saw Li Fugui, they all froze on the spot.
After seeing clearly the black muzzle of the gun in Li Fugui's hand, the three of them raised their hands in unison.
Just kidding, the gun is already placed on my head, if I try to escape and fail to protect myself at this time, I will take a bullet!
"Big brother, don't, don't, don't shoot!" the thin man stammered, his legs were shaking so much, and big beads of sweat were condensing on his forehead.
"Brother, we just want to find something to eat." The tall and thin man spoke quickly, fearing that Li Fugui's hand would shake and he would pull the trigger and send them away.
"I have an eighty-year-old wife and son, and an eight-year-old mother who is waiting to be fed. Brother, please don't shoot. If you do, it will kill three people!" The fat man shouted with a cry. .
At this time, the security door opposite suddenly opened at an inappropriate time, and Qin Tianlong rushed out of the door with a kitchen knife.
"Don't move! Be careful old man, I'll be ruthless with my sword!"
