Boom!
A thunder streaked across the sky, the rising morning light was shrouded by dark clouds, the sky became dark, and it was about to rain.
"How could this happen? The weather observatory clearly said that the weather will be good these two days."
With the sound of thunder, Chen's heart was cast into a shadow, and there was always some bad premonition.
Since Rhode Island's manpower was placed on the second line and had no chance of coming into contact with monsters, some of the work of cleaning the battlefield was left to them, which was not particularly troublesome. Logistics operators neatly dressed in protective equipment used human power to clean up the dead. Monsters piled together and then set on fire.
Burning with fire was the doctor's suggestion. Chen didn't quite understand why, but he still followed it seriously.
"Strange, why were these corpses not devoured by the Origin Stone after death?"
Generally, infected people will be "eaten" by the rapidly expanding Source Stone after death, but the Source Stone monster killed by the reconnaissance team in front still maintains the appearance of half human and half Source Stone. The Source Stone seems to be "dead". It neither expanded nor formed a source of infection.
Three large pits were filled with corpses. They were sprayed with flammable liquid and then set on fire. Three pillars of dark smoke shot straight into the sky.
Xingxiong was worried: "Will Originium dust form and affect the urban area of Xinxista?"
An accompanying medical operator took out the monitoring equipment and replied: "No, the equipment shows that the source stones here are not contagious. They are all stones in the true sense."
Star Bear wanted to scratch her hair, but her fingers could only touch the protective helmet, so she had to give up the seemingly stupid action of scratching the helmet.
"Uh, why?"
Chen glanced to resist, and her good colleague also asked her the doubts in her heart.
The medical operator spread his hands: "I don't know, we haven't had time to study the Originium dust here."
Tick tock.
A raindrop fell on Chen's shoulder, and the layer of black ash covering the protective equipment was lit by the water droplets. She felt extremely irritable for no reason.
"Old Chen, our people are establishing a contact point at the back."
Chen nodded. The transportation line behind them was too long, and the troops in front continued to conduct reconnaissance, making the protection in the middle particularly fragile.
It may be hard to believe, but half of the day's journey was completed in just two hours, and it seems that the other half is still being completed.
"Sir Chen, there is news from the headquarters, asking us to release drones to conduct reconnaissance on both sides, and be sure to light up the real-time map."
"I understand, Ah Xing, send a message to the frontline troops, our drones will occupy part of the sky route."
…
"Rhode Island applied for sky routes on both sides of the rear. They want to scout the unlit area behind."
Roberts patiently read the briefing and seriously considered whether to let the troops stop and recuperate. The caution of the friendly forces was more in line with his ideas, because the advancing troops on the left and right were obviously lagging behind, which involved a detail from the original plan.
At the suggestion of Dr. Rhode Island, the ground crew must clean every corner of the old city without leaving any vacancies. He divided the large map into several small grids. Each grid must be cleaned several times to confirm that there are no monsters. Residue.
Now the Peace Envoys are advancing too fast, resulting in not enough time to clean up the buildings behind them. In other words, they have only completed the reconnaissance mission, but are unable to bear the cleaning work due to lack of manpower.
"I agree with them scouting unexplored areas. After all, friendly forces also want to find something to do."
The cabin door of the Peacemaker opened, and Joseph said jokingly to Roberts with a cigarette in his mouth.
Roberts shook his head slightly: "Sir Joseph, we need to stop and wait for the troops behind us. We are not facing aboriginal people who live in the wilderness. A few cannon shots can scare away most people. These irrational monsters don't care whether they are on the other side." Steel and gunfire.”
Just now, a large group of crystal cluster monsters rushed over against Peace Messenger's artillery fire, forcing the big guy to fire two shots in just five minutes and had to stop in place to clean the gun barrel.
Even more depressingly, his troops suffered casualties for the first time.
An Originium crystal shot from a distance pierced the protective suit of an unlucky man. What was even more unfortunate was that the punctured part was his neck. The blood spurted out instantly filled the protective suit, and even the rescuers There was no chance. In just one minute, he died directly.
"We did stop."
Officer Wolper held his cigarette in his hand, and he came up with a passable excuse.
"Peacemaker is out of fuel."
Thank God.
Roberts secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care whether the Peacemaker had fuel or not, as long as it could stop, it would be a good thing.
"Sir, the reconnaissance drone shows that there are a large number of enemies directly ahead!"
Joseph frowned and asked: "How far apart?!"
"One kilometer away, it's still getting closer. It's coming from deeper places!"
Less than a thousand meters away, you’ll be there in the blink of an eye!
At this time, the sky was dark and foggy, and even with a telescope, it was impossible to see very far.
But there was no need to look now. The tremors on the ground were enough to prove that a large number of enemies were right in front of them.
Joseph pressed the headset on his throat and said calmly: "Reverse! Reverse! We can't stay here!"
The drone suspended in the air captured dense clusters of cluster monsters wandering over, with a considerable number of cluster giants mixed in. When the picture appeared in the eyes of the retreating reconnaissance troops, Joseph and Roberts took a breath of cold air. Such a large number of monsters can overwhelm people like myself in an instant.
But they didn't even touch the edge of the big hole!
…
After getting the intelligence from the front, Chen's scalp almost exploded. He immediately ordered everyone to stop collecting the monster corpses. In addition to ensuring the communication personnel, they concentrated on building a defense line in place.
Not only the Rhode Island operators, but also the second-line troops on both sides stopped advancing and strengthened their defenses on the spot.
"Can you hold it?"
Chen lowered his head and thought for two seconds: "It should be possible. I applied for magician support, and the equipment department also rushed over with new equipment. If we can't defend it, no one can defend it."
Just some crystal cluster monsters.
There is relevant data in Rhode Island's database, which is dictated by doctors and professional operators fill in the details, which is generally good.
Xing Xiong suddenly asked: "Has the doctor contacted you?"
"No, all the information I received was signed by Amiya."
Chen finally knew why he was upset and angry, because that person was not there.
She was secretly angry, couldn't it be possible without that man? Wouldn't it be the same whoever left the other?
I didn't think about him at all for more than a year!
"Stop thinking so much and prepare to fight!"
Xingxiong was stunned for two seconds. Who on earth thought so much?
