When the demons hiding in the darkness pounced on the convoy, Fabiola was the first to realize the danger.
"It's coming!
! "
She quickly pulled out two small rapid-fire pistols and shot diagonally upward. She wasn't sure if she hit anything. Anyway, she emptied the magazines of both guns and then reloaded them at an extremely fast speed.
However, the other party was faster than she thought.
The roaring demon hit the armored vehicle in the middle of the guard like an asteroid. In an instant, the armored vehicle fell apart and made a loud rumble.
The broken metal and spinning sparks formed a wave. Some of the guards were engulfed in flames and debris. Several people died in an instant. Fabiola, like everyone around her, was knocked outward by the crest of the shock wave. .
In the center of the original team, a black fireball rolled, rolling upwards into a tall column of black smoke, with hurried figures and shouts passing through it.
"Emperor!"
Before they regrouped and their dazzling senses recovered, the dull sound of gunfire was heard through the piercing howl in the air. Fabiola, who got up from the ground, heard the roar of bolt guns and noticed the muzzles of those guns. The firelight flickered high above.
In the halo of the flashlight, swooping monsters rushed toward them like bullets in the night sky. Despite the brightness around them, they were somehow able to exude a shadowy hostility, as if they were streaking through a sudden storm. Like lightning.
And their screams are sharper than any knife.
The bolts hit the center of each flashlight, moving so fast and hitting so accurately that they blew each point of light into smithereens.
Then there was only darkness.
Absolutely, completely—
Endless long nights.
But this "midnight" was not peaceful. Crazy laughter and roars filled the whole world. It was a sound range that could freeze people's screams and blood-curdling howls. Others also joined in - the guards. The terrified groans of the team members, the shouts of the panicked, and the wails of the wounded and dying.
They huddled together with guns in hand, imagining themselves being slashed, cracked, and torn apart by invisible monsters, like sheep surrounded by wolves in the dark...
All Fabiola saw was chaos, the former elite, the city's protectors, so easily choked and defeated by fear.
But even if they stayed together, they could not guarantee safety. Some people were suddenly violently pulled into the sky, followed by blood splattering and broken limbs falling down. In this case, many people began to scream loudly.
"Don't panic, everyone! Pick up your weapons!"
The smell of blood and fear in the air almost suffocated Fabiola, but she still stubbornly finished changing the bomb and pulled the trigger toward the right about five meters high.
A flurry of bullets disappeared into the darkness, but Fabiola noticed a tiny spark.
She hit it!
This fact made her heart skip a beat.
But then the body of a squad leader suddenly separated, and his head was like a wet bomb, which was slammed into the crowd from above by an invisible devil.
"asshole!"
Fabiola quickly retreated to his comrades and changed the magazine again.
One after another, the hand holding the gun was suddenly chopped off, the armor was ripped open with the skin, and the upper body disappeared without a trace in an instant. Some people yelled when their scalps were cut off, and some people tripped over their own intestines. , and others tried to shout, only to find that their jaws and tongues had been torn off.
Fabiola felt it all around her, like a dizzying kaleidoscope.
The devil in the darkness seems to be everywhere, hovering in the sky and walking on the ground, killing without restraint, slashing and cracking everywhere, accompanied by screams.
Blood splashed like rain, a warm drizzle without direction or color.
To a brain almost destroyed by invisible fear, every figure in the darkness is a threat and every sound screams.
Accidental injuries occurred frequently, and people began to lose their minds.
But Fabiola has roughly figured out the outlines of those monsters. They are very huge, covered with metal, probably armor, and they should be able to fly and glide so flexibly with the help of some kind of equipment.
There were not many of them, and all this was done was to induce panic in disciplined minds, like digging a small hole in a dike causing it to burst, severing any ties of friendship between them and those around them, and in In an instant, he turned into a beast that only cared about himself, only protected himself, and only trusted himself.
The guards become a flock of sheep in a storm, huddled together, eager to survive but repelling all other sheep - friend or foe alike.
Shotguns rang out in the darkness, just aimed into the night, firing at random.
Fabiola was shocked to realize: there were too many of them, this long and narrow road was a terrible trap, the surrounding buildings were invisible fences, people were swallowed up by complete darkness, trembling and scared, some people knelt He fell down and was pushed aside by the rushing people and stepped on.
But just as she loaded the magazine, she heard a firm voice that brought some of her fear out of her mind.
That was their captain, shooting and shouting filial piety:
"Night vision goggles! Everyone! Damn it, on the throne, put on all your fucking night vision goggles!"
It was like a beacon, like a small beam of light in the endless wasteland. Just a little bit of order was enough to break the panic spell cast by the enemy. The guards around them stopped their headless movements amid shouts. Scurrying around, some responded by taking a deep breath, fumbling with their goggles, and pulling the bulky device over their eyes.
For a moment, their world took on horrific shades of green and gray.
But Fabiola had been wearing night vision goggles and she knew it wouldn't do much.
"Regroup, damn it! For the Emperor! Hold on!"
yelled the captain, and she turned to face him, as if clutching at straws.
"Captain, we have to get out of the open area! Find cover!"
The captain stared at the girl for a moment and nodded.
"Team Thirteen! Turn to the 3 o'clock direction! Get off the road! Get off the road!"
The remaining men from their precinct sprang into action, trotting away from their original positions and armored vehicles, trying to climb over the road fence.
The entire road was now littered with corpses, none of them intact.
Whoever killed the guards was pretty bloodthirsty and high-spirited.
"Turn off the lights."
Now they don't want to do any tasks, they just hope to survive. Fabiola has changed to a shotgun. This weapon is a bit too big for her, but after special modifications to reduce some of the recoil, it will not affect her. use.
The gunshots and screams continued in the distance. The team carefully left the killing field and climbed over the guardrail one by one.
Everyone held their breath and moved very slightly, for fear of disturbing anything.
Or rather, something——
