After hearing Hashet's words, Ouranios behind the bunker immediately stretched out half his head to observe, and quickly found the firepower point. It was an unfinished light tank. It was not a sophisticated work of the empire at all, but a crude garbage truck. , but strong enough to withstand firearms and small artillery, and there are bloody and blasphemous slogans on the armor plates.
As if he noticed Oranios, the muzzle of the multi-laser lighted up, and the raindrop-like lasers crackled on the metal surface as the opponent retracted into the bunker.
"Armor-piercing rockets, open some holes in that barricade."
The communicator's sound is distorted by interference.
"As commanded."
A moment later, three soldiers carrying rocket launchers approached the target from the right.
"Anti-vehicle teams are in place."
At this time, the defenders seemed to have stabilized their position. They also turned on the lights in the central control building. The searchlights penetrated the smoke and shone near the bunker where the commandos were hiding.
"Covering fire!"
At the command, everyone stood up and started shooting. First, the searchlight was shattered, and then the unlucky heretic was knocked down. At the same time, several grenades flew out and landed near the tank, causing the heretics to take cover.
In the chaos, the sound of rocket launches came, and along with bursts of thick smoke, the light tank erupted with a bright white light, and the surrounding metal made a rattling sound as it expanded and cracked.
Then there was a huge roar. Even from so far away, Hayes's ears were filled with the roar, but he did not flinch at all.
The unfinished tank was engulfed in smoke and flames, along with its multiple lasers.
After that, the control room was unusually quiet.
"Come in and kill everyone inside."
The commandos showed themselves and approached the central control building from both sides. Ouranios was the first to rush in and directly knocked down a guy who was trying to hide behind the door for a sneak attack, causing him to fall to the ground.
A second shot was fired at the second one.
"Demolition team, set the fuse, count down to three minutes."
Most of the enemies have either run away or died, but the situation is still urgent, because there are more enemies coming here, and the sound of rapid footsteps and curses can be heard from the entrances on both floors.
"Hold it! The flamethrower team holds it first!"
There has to be a countdown of at least one minute before the melta bomb can be sure that it will not be defused.
When the stick insect triggered the flamethrower, heat blasted out from in front of him, dozens of traitors burning and screaming.
But soon the flamethrower died, and where there had once been a terrifying torrent of flames, there were suddenly a few dying, intermittent sparks.
"The fuel tank is empty!"
Putting down the flamethrower, Stick Insect tugged on something on the gas tank, then grabbed the pistol on his belt.
"Retreat! Run!"
Everything goes according to plan, it's simple, use the flamethrower first, hold off the enemy's counterattack for as long as possible, and once the flamethrower is empty, they'll surprise the enemy with other means.
The easiest way to do this is to tie every grenade they have to the flamethrower's fuel tank, which, while empty, is a useful source of extra shrapnel even without fuel.
Soon, the grenade exploded with an impressive roar.
"Uh-huh!"
Suddenly, the stick insect, who was about to run back to the bunker, suddenly fell forward, and a pool of blood burst out from his knees.
Others quickly used firepower to cover him. Hayes and Peak rushed forward and dragged the other man back to the central control building. In fact, he was not only injured, but one of Stick Insect's hands was pressed on a gunshot wound on his stomach. , while the other hand is still tightly holding the handle of his laser gun.
Peake was busy bandaging his almost broken leg.
"It's okay Jung! You're going to be okay! You've always been lucky!"
As Hayes worked hard to put the hemostatic gel into the wound on the opponent's abdomen, tears accumulated in the breathing mask.
Jung, who has always been called a stick insect, reached out and took off his breathing mask. His long and narrow pale face gave out a trademark silly smile, but blood kept pouring out of his mouth. Only then did Hayes suddenly realize that, The opponent suffered a penetrating injury and there was a bullet hole in his lower back. In other words, Jung's spine was probably damaged or even interrupted.
"Hayes, I'm...not good at math..."
Jung gasped and took out the expedition manual from the training camp.
"You... fill it in for me... Venus..."
"time to go!"
At this time, Ouranios's voice sounded.
"It's the last minute!"
Hayes turned his head.
"Jung..."
Ouranios glanced at Jung and finally said softly:
"May the Emperor bless him."
Jung took the expedition manual into Sehays's hands and gave it a gentle push.
"Let's go...didn't you say that I'm very lucky? Look at me being so thin, the probability of being hit is at least 50% lower than...others..."
】
This sentence was a joke that Jung often said, and sometimes he took it seriously. Hayes would smile after hearing it.
But he couldn't laugh now, so he could only take the expedition manual and turn around to leave.
Jung picked up his gun and struggled up the ladder leading to the upper level, dragging a long trail of blood on the ground.
He rarely talks about himself to the people in the group. In fact, everyone thinks he is a fool who was captured from the bottom nest. However, Jung only has a slight mental retardation. He was even born in the middle nest and has a He has an older brother, a younger brother, and an older sister. His parents are both engaged in small business. Although he is indeed dumber than his peers and is often ridiculed as "retarded" or "idiot", he is not as stupid as everyone thinks.
However, the fate of their family changed after the expeditionary force arrived. Because one of their distant cousins seemed to be involved in the heretical crime of a certain nobleman, their family was also implicated, or was fined a sum that would make their whole family fall. In the end, the nest's fine is either to provide a child to "atone" on his behalf and become an expeditionary soldier.
Jung knew that his parents' choice of him was not because they didn't love him. This was a cruel choice for any parent.
He also knows that his brothers and sisters are more valuable than his stupid self——
He never meant to complain. He was just a little regretful at this moment. He probably couldn't finish his last letter home, and he couldn't go home to see Kami who always liked to run out of the cage and get into his quilt.
At this moment, all the thoughts in his mind began to fade away, and he only remembered the nursery rhyme that his mother sang when he fell asleep with her arms around him the night before leaving...
[Mr. Eggman Big Egghead~]
He tried hard to stand up, but he had no feeling below the waist. He could only hold on to the railing with one hand, the gun under his arm, and the hot pipe with the other.
Then he heard footsteps below, then noticed something, let go of the pipe and sat against the railing, raising his gun.
[Mr. Eggman sits on the wall~]
Soon, a figure appeared at the corner of the stairs. Jung pulled the trigger. The man fell down screaming, but the enemy was not alone. Instead, his gunfire attracted more enemies.
【Suddenly someone was startled~】
With the roar of grenades and the curses of the enemy, Jung continued to climb up. One of his arms was broken, he could no longer use the gun, and all the grenades were thrown away.
[Mr. Eggman stumbles~]
He didn't know why he continued to climb up, maybe so he could be closer to his family.
【The king's horse, the king's soldiers~】
The timer of the melta bomb reached zero, and Jung collapsed on the last step. When the explosion's firelight illuminated the steps, his mother's last tearful lyrics were accompanied by the tears dripping down his face. The cold touch repeated itself in his mind.
[You can’t even put the eggs back together~]
