Chapter 379 The war has begun

  The light from the bonfire disappears.

  The dark forest returned to silence.

   Vito, who was crawling on the pile of rocks, moved his right eye away from the scope of the sniper rifle, and there was a moment of surprise between his brows.

   Discovered?

   His eyes narrowed slightly.

  He resolutely put away the sniper rifle, raised his index finger and touched his ear lightly, and said to the other two hunters who approached.

   "Walit, Xiu, pay attention...the other party is an awakened person, suspected to have enhanced hearing and vision. They have entered a state of alert, be careful."

  There are two answers in the headset.

"learn."

"receive."

  After the order was given, Vito drew out the flare gun attached to his waist without any hesitation, and fired a shot into the sky.

  The red signal flare rose up into the sky, hanging in the night sky like a red lantern.

  There is a patrol team performing a search mission five kilometers away. After seeing the signal from them, they will immediately rush to reinforce.

   At this time, Valit's voice came from the earphone. The muscular guy said in a somewhat teasing tone.

   "Is it necessary to call for reinforcements? It's just three little girls, at most one half-dead wounded and two stupid bears."

   In his opinion, his captain was completely overly cautious.

  He admitted that the fiasco of the 29th Marine Corps is indeed worthy of vigilance, but there is no need to scare yourself.

  Those unlucky ones whose heads were shot were nothing more than a group of recruits who had served for less than two years. No matter in terms of ability or experience, they were not at the same level as the elites of the Marine Corps.

  Hearing the ridicule of his teammates, Vito just replied indifferently.

   "Be careful."

  Whether the opponent is an old man, a child, or a woman, as long as he is a living enemy, he will not take it lightly.

   Paused, he continued.

   "In addition, I only saw two people just now, which is different from the three people in the information."

  There were low-pitched laughter and the creaking of bones rubbing on the communication channel.

   "That's right, Xiuyi and I are alone."

  Xiu, who was silent from the beginning to the end, said impatiently. .

   "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go back after finishing your work."

  Walit squeezed his fist and grinned.

"okay!"

  …

   As the campfire goes out, the camp is enveloped in darkness.

   Eyes gradually adapted to the dark environment. Sesame paste squatting behind the tree trunk held his breath and was on alert, listening intently to the sound of the wind passing through the forest and the rustling whispers hidden in the sound of the wind.

  The awakening of LV10 did not endow her with particularly powerful abilities, but it endowed her with unparalleled hearing. Any slightest movement within a radius of 100 meters could not escape her ears.

  Time passed by one minute and one second.

  The opponent did not immediately launch an offensive.

   Just when she thought the confrontation would continue, there was a sudden gunshot in the distance, and a red signal flare rose into the sky.

  Weak light scattered from the sky into the woods, looking up at the signal flare in the sky, Sisi's face changed slightly.

  Almost at the same time, a loud roar suddenly tore through the silence in the forest, and with heavy steps, a burly figure rushed towards the camp.

  The body of 2.5 meters is as strong as a bull, and what is especially incredible is the exaggerated running speed. In a few breaths, he has already approached the edge of the camp.

  Sesame Paste was the first to pull the trigger. Dozens of bullets poured out in the flickering flames, and a dense firepower net was deployed in the forest, but it did not stop his charge at all.

"really?!"

   Before she had time to be surprised, she quickly replaced the empty magazine.

   Just as the sesame paste ceased fire, Sisi calmly aimed, and finally waited until the man came into the attack range.

  The ready-to-go magnetic slingshot was launched suddenly, and concentrated fire towards his face, but the next scene made Sisi's eyes widen in surprise.

  I saw the man raised his thick left arm, not only resisting the six magnetically accelerated projectiles, but also running without the slightest pause.

This guy-

   Could it be a mutant? !

   "Haha! Useless—!"

   With a wild laugh, Valit threw the hatchet in his right hand violently.

The distance of tens of meters was fleeting. Seeing that the whirling hatchet was about to hit Sisi's chest, the big white bear in steel armor let out an angry roar, and slapped the flying ax away. Li took the initiative to rush up.

  Seeing the big white bear rushing towards him, instead of panicking at all, Valit went up to him without dodging or evading, and got into a close fight with Rourou.

   "Are you the talking bear?"

   Stared at by those two miserable green eyeballs, even though Rourou panicked, he still forced himself to be calm and yelled at him threateningly.

  Walit glanced at his mouth, and exerted force with both arms, his gnarled muscles swelled like wriggling earthworms, and forced the white bear half a step back.

   The pressure suddenly increased, Rourou hurriedly shouted.

   "This guy is so strong... Don't just watch, come and help me."

   "You guys are too close, I can't aim at him... By the way, why did you rush up just now." Sesame paste holding the gun was dumbfounded, aiming at the wrestling figure and was unable to fire.

  The key is that the meat is too big.

  Fire at this distance, I am afraid that teammates will be smashed into a sieve before the enemy.

   "I, I, I, I didn't know, so I rushed up." The force holding her bear's paw was getting stronger and stronger, and Rourou was so anxious that she was about to cry.

  She admitted that when she saw her friend in danger, she was a little overwhelmed at the time, and rushed forward without thinking much, but who would have thought that this guy was so powerful.

   The opponents she met before were basically slapped away by her, but this guy actually exerted strength close to his body, and his strength was not lost to her at all.

  Is this still human? !

  Sisi suddenly said.

   "Sesame paste, you take Luo Hua to the east, as far as you can go, if you really can't hide him, at least take the card back."

   Sesame Paste froze for a moment.

"But-"

"please."

   No more explaining, Sisi quickly pulled out the dagger tied to her thigh, and rushed to help, but someone—it should be said that a bear was one step faster than her.

   Seeing that Rourou was in danger, Teddy, who had been raised in captivity until he almost lost his wildness, finally let out a long-lost roar.

  Seeing another mutated brown bear rushing up, Valit's overjoyed expression finally showed a trace of panic.

   "Xiu! What the **** are you dawdling about!" He roared anxiously and angrily.

  In the communication channel, a voice came slowly.

   "Aren't I worried about spoiling your interest?"

  The moment the voice fell, a cold light flickered, followed by the sound of piercing through the air.

  Teddy was shot in the back by an arrow, and Teddy uttered a painful roar, but still rushed towards Walit, who was in a stalemate with the flesh, despite the pain.

  Holding a short crossbow in his hand, there was a look of surprise in Xiu's eyes.

  The poison he smeared on the arrow is a dose that can knock down even an elephant, but this brown bear is actually fine?

  Just as he was about to shoot an arrow, a tongue of fire burst out from the darkness, and the bullets rained down on his exposed position.

"Grass!"

   Fell down behind the side bunker, Xiu threw away the short crossbow and took off the assault rifle hanging on his chest.

  However, just as he was about to raise his gun to fight back, the howling cold light forced him to give up firing, and smashed the **** of the gun head-on at the person who rushed in front of him.

  The **** of the gun made close contact with the dagger, and it was thrown flying without any suspense.

  However, Xiu didn't have time to be pleasantly surprised, and saw that the girl in front of him took out two daggers out of nowhere, holding one front and the other backwards in her hands, swishing two daggers straight to his vitals.

   He was so frightened that he quickly backed up.

   Didn't give him a chance to breathe, Sisi quickly pulled into the distance, and stabbed out with the dagger in his right hand.

  Seeing that the dagger was about to be pierced into his neck, there was a sudden gunshot in the forest.

   Huge kinetic energy hit the abdomen, Sisi let out a muffled grunt, and fell backwards uncontrollably, hitting the tree trunk behind him.

  The strong dizziness made her almost disconnected on the spot.

   Sniper!

   Roughly locked the shooting position, she let go of the dagger in her left hand, pulled off the smoke bomb hanging on the body armor and threw it out, preventing the man from refilling the gun and threatening her teammates.

   Smoky.

  However, the second and third gunshots still rang out. Although the bullets didn't come towards her, it made her heart sink even more.

  She thought of the sesame paste that brought Luo Hua back.

but-

  At the moment she wasn't worried about other people's time.

  Strengthening the crumbling consciousness, Sisi exhausted all his strength and threw the dagger in his right hand towards the approaching person.

   But unfortunately—

  The man just tilted his head, then dodged lightly, and pointed the gun at her who was about to draw out the pistol.

   "You are very strong, but you are still too tender."

   "Surrender, being my prisoner is better than being the prisoner of that guy Valit."

  The skinny man pointed his chin at the man who was fighting the bear, and joked, "I've never seen one that survived a week in his hands."

  The mutated brown bear finally lay on the ground.

  Sisi didn't speak, just stared at him.

   "Hehe, it seems that you haven't made up your mind yet." A cruel smile appeared on Xiu's face, "Someone needs to help you."

  He took a step forward, and at this moment, three muffled sounds suddenly came from a distance.

   Before he could recover, three deafening explosions exploded in the forest not far behind him.

  The heat wave is accompanied by the evening wind slowly passing through the forest.

  Xiu was taken aback for a moment, with surprise and bewilderment on his face.

what happened? !

  Sisi also looked blank.

  But the roar of the three explosions seemed to come from the same direction as the previous sniper rifle. Almost at the same time, a familiar voice came from outside the smoke screen.

   "Die to me!!"

  A figure as fast as lightning stepped through the smoke that filled the forest, and almost entered the battlefield together with the flames from the muzzle of the gun.

  Xiu's pupils contracted violently, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the girl holding an assault rifle.

  However, at such a short distance, even if he saw it, he didn't have time to react at all.

   Bullets hit him like raindrops, and a **** mist burst out of his body instantly. Before he could even utter a scream, he was knocked down to the ground by the ferocious firepower.

   "Sis! Are you alright!" He rushed out of the smoke, looked at Sisi leaning against the tree, and rushed forward anxiously with his tail.

   "It's okay, Awei came in time! Give you a thumbs up!"

   A smile appeared on his pale face, and Sisi gave her a thumbs up.

  However, Tail didn't answer the question, but was taken aback by Sisi's blood-stained clothes.

   "Giao! Why are you hurt so badly!"

  The body armor was pierced.

  Blood almost stained the whole dress red.

  However, Sis didn't care. Anyway, this game has a pain shielding mechanism. After the battle, just find a bandage and wrap it up.

   "Small problem, I didn't hurt the bones. I'm a physique, and this little injury will almost recover tomorrow... Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and help Rourou—"

"build!"

  Looking through the diffused smoke, Valit finally saw the brother who died tragically, and his eyes were instantly filled with blood red.

   Let out a roar, he slammed away the flesh that was entangled with him, and rushed towards the tail and Sisi.

   He was about to rush close.

   It was too late to say it, but soon, there was a sudden "whoosh".

  I saw an RPG rushing out of the darkness with a thick and long tail flame, and blasted straight on the left shoulder of the strong man!

   That is an anti-armor armor-piercing round.

  The blasting metal jet was like a scorching light spear, pouring mercilessly from his left shoulder, and bursting out from his right half of his body.

   The flesh and blood were scorched and evaporated by thousands of degrees of high temperature.

  Even a mutant with a pure bloodline would not be able to reshape half of his burned body in such a short period of time.

  Walit uttered a painful roar, but soon there was no sound, and the huge body fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

  Holding the launch tube that was emitting green smoke, his sesame-pasted chest heaved violently, and his beating heart almost jumped into his throat.

"Sesame paste?!"

  Fatty looked at her in surprise.

   "You didn't take Luo Hua away?"

   Sesame Paste whispered.

   "I...can't leave you guys behind."

   "Thanks, but that being said... our mission is probably over."

  Looking up at the red flare that was slowly falling into the forest, Sisi sighed silently in his heart.

   No matter.

   Games, as long as everyone is having fun.

   Anyway, they did their best.

   What really made her feel sorry was actually the cart of goods at the tail.

   After all, it took only three days for a person to die, and if the goods worth hundreds of thousands of silver coins were lost, it would take a long time to earn back.

   But at this time, Tail said optimistically.

   "Don't worry, our reinforcements are here!"

   "Our... reinforcements?"

  Sisi smiled bitterly, and was about to complain about such a thing, but at this moment, she suddenly thought of something, and quickly opened the VM tied to her arm.

  I saw the dark map.

   Sure enough, there are strings of green dots shining with hope!

"Um!"

  Tail nodded excitedly, and continued without stopping, "It's Brother Quanshui and the others! It was really dangerous just now, I was almost hit by that sniper."

  It turned out that the two gunshots just now were from rushing to support his own tail.

  Sisi's eyes flickered with amazement.

   As for that explosion...

   Probably Commander Spring's 120mm heavy mortar.

   If she remembers correctly, the name should be "Destroyer"—that is, the exoskeleton shaped like a Blastoise.

   But this is not the point.

  She couldn't understand why the Stormtroopers appeared here? !

  They...just set off officially yesterday, right?

   It would take five days to march 150 kilometers on the wasteland, how could it be possible to reach Ruigu City from Qingquan City in less than 48 hours.

  While speaking, there were dense gunshots in the distance.

  Seeing the signal flares coming to reinforce the legion squad, they collided with the Storm Corps elite who also came to reinforce, and a fierce exchange of fire immediately broke out between the two sides!

   Immediately afterwards, three more deafening explosions sounded.

  Facing the fierce firepower of the players, the army squad that came for reinforcements quickly suffered more than half of the casualties. After leaving behind twenty or thirty corpses, they were routed westward.

  The gunshots in the distance gradually subsided, and the players of the Storm Corps did not choose to pursue.

   After dressing the wound with a bandage, Sisi soon saw a group of people walking in the distance.

   There are about twenty of them. Judging from the five-style light cavalry exoskeleton, these people are the elite of the Stormtroopers.

  The person leading the battle is the veteran player in the battlefield atmosphere group—Storm Corps, and also the ruthless person who entered the game in the early version.

  Looking at the familiar teammates, Sisi said in a daze.

   "How...how did you get here?"

   "Of course I came here by running."

"…run?"

"Um."

   With the rifle on his shoulders, the warband grinned and cursed.

"The Dogecoin of Quanshui is not a person. He formed a team of players equipped with 'light cavalry' in the regiment, saying that cavalry should look like cavalry, and then let us form a team of two, take turns as mounts, one person runs and the other hangs up , Continuous forced march for thirty hours...Damn it, my exoskeleton ran out of battery so fast."

  Sisi was stunned.

  What the **** is taking turns being a mount? !

  She tried to imagine the picture, but felt that her imagination was not enough.

  But in theory, with the performance of the "Five-style" light cavalry exoskeleton, this kind of operation is not impossible.

   It's just a little bit inappropriate.

   "... I who always follow you are the darkest?"

  The field guy said with a smile.

   "He, he went to help the spring correct the firepower!"

"That guy's awakening ability is unexpectedly useful when guiding the shelling. Not only can he lock the general direction of the gunshots in a wide area, but he can also judge the impact of the shells. The old dog coin who squatted in the pit and shot the black gun just now has been shot by our 120mm gun. The shells went off!"

  Thumbs up.

   "Oh! Thank you brother, it was really dangerous just now!"

   "Hahaha, you're welcome!" The Zhandi guy said with a smile, "You are not bad, you can last so long."

  Tail proudly said: "Just kidding, my Sisi is super brave! Of course, so is the tail!"

  Sisi coughed lightly and changed the subject.

   "Speaking of which, are you just throwing the supply team down?"

   "Basically, we only have 23 sets of light cavalry. Except for Spring's own Destroyer, other players are equipped with KV-1. The battery life is too weak...By the way, why didn't you wear the exoskeleton?"

   "Who would bring that when running a business... But speaking of it, you didn't bring any supplies."

"It's okay, isn't there still you?" The battlefield atmosphere team laughed, "Brother Quanshui said that when he flew back that day, he felt that something must happen to you, and he was urging us to hurry up along the way. Wait for the rescue." Rich woman, just eat soft rice."

  Siss: "..."

   Tail said enthusiastically.

   "Oh! Just eat it, I brought a lot of delicious food!"

  The battlefield atmosphere team said with a smile: "Haha, just kidding, we won't take up your supplies for nothing. Please pay us the market price. Anyway, the military administrator will reimburse you."

   Sisi sighed.

   "Don't say these out-of-the-ordinary words... If there is such a big commotion, we should change places. Tail, can you please pack your luggage?"

   "Ocquer!"

  Tail went to the truck, and Sesame Paste also went to help.

  The battlefield atmosphere team glanced at the bandage around Sisi's waist.

   "Are you okay?"

   Kakarot, who was standing aside, interjected.

   "My strength department, I can carry you on my back!"

  Hearing this, Kevin with the broken leg yelled immediately.

   "Damn, aren't you my mount?"

   Kakarot rolled his eyes.

   "Get out! Who the **** is your mount!"

   "It's okay... I can do it myself."

   Taking a deep breath, Sis picked up the rifle on the ground as a crutch, stood up while leaning on the tree trunk. Just as she was about to go back to the truck, she suddenly saw Rourou sitting silently in the corner of the camp with her head down.

   "Fat meat?"

  The broad figure did not respond.

  Looking down, looking at the mutated brown bear lying on the ground, Sisi was slightly stunned and fell silent.

   Walking behind Flesh, she put her hands on the furry shoulders.

   Finally couldn't hold back anymore.

  The broad shoulders trembled slightly, the fleshy head hung down, and the voice choked.

   "Teddy it... has no heartbeat."

  Although she just kept that stupid bear in the group as a joke at the beginning, but after traveling together for so long, she has already regarded him as a partner.

  The same goes for the rest of the White Bear Knights.

   There was a moment of silence in the clearing.

  Sesame paste wiped the corners of his eyes secretly, even the most optimistic and noisy tail, at this time, there was no sound, and he lowered his head in silence.

   The players standing around were also silent.

  Most of them are old players who have obtained the qualification of the closed test in the Alpha version, and they understand the feeling that the people in their memories will never come back.

  The most realistic and worst setting in this game is probably that NPCs cannot be resurrected.

   Players can be reborn with memories. No matter how they die, they will never really die. They will always have a chance to come back and see the sun three days later.

  However, the NPCs who accompany them only have one life.

  Those memories, sometimes more like a curse, are also the only pain that the helmet cannot shield.

   That's why they are always at the forefront.

  The Battlefield scratched the back of his head.

  Although they didn't want to talk too much at this time, and they couldn't say comforting words, they had to leave.

   "Brother Quanshui said, let us transfer immediately after joining you... The other party may send area firepower to us, and we don't have much time left."

  Sisi nodded silently.

  Patting the furry back lightly, she said softly.

   "Let's bring it on."

   Rourou nodded with a complicated mood.

"Um…"

  …

  Heart of Iron.

  An officer trotted across the corridor and rushed into the bridge with a panicked expression.

  The door is pushed open.

   He said loudly with a trembling voice.

   "Report! The 29th and 31st Marine Corps were wiped out! Someone blocked the ground troops we sent to the eastern suburbs to recover the parachute!"

  The first day I came to River Valley Province.

  They suffered such a heavy loss.

   "A bunch of trash!"

   The furious General McCollen cursed, looked at the crew sitting in front of the console, and ordered almost in a roaring voice.

   "400mm main gun loaded!"

   "Blast those wild dogs to pieces!"

  He knew those people must have run away.

   No one is stupid enough to stand still and blow them up.

   But he still has to do it.

   Not for anything else.

  He wants those ants to feel the anger rising from **** with their eyes, ears, and soul, make them tremble in front of the artillery fire, and kneel on the ground to regret their mindless stupidity.

  No one can stop the Legion!

   No one can stop him!

  The crew member sitting in front of the console responded loudly.

"yes!"

  …

  In the silent night sky, a flame flickered, and a thick and long column of air rose into the sky, and the sound of the cannon that followed was like rolling thunder that shattered the clouds.

  That night, the wastelanders in the entire Ruigu City, whether they were survivors or looters, heard the loud noise that destroyed the world.

  The shell fell 20 kilometers away, on the forested mountain depression.

  The crimson flames engulfed, billowing thick smoke rose into the sky, and the collapsing gravel and spreading shock waves swept across the entire forest.

   Standing on the hillside a few kilometers away and watching from afar, Commander Quanshui handed the binoculars in his hand to the warlord who was standing aside.

   "General mortars can't hit this far, and 80% of them are rocket-extended range bombs... Judging from the shape of the air column and the damage area, the warhead should be a cloud bomb."

  The legendary sub-nuclear weapon.

   Can instantly deplete an entire area of ​​oxygen.

   Paused, he continued.

   "The war has begun."

  The field guy didn't speak.

   It wasn't until a long while later that he suddenly opened his mouth and spoke as if returning to his soul.

   "Fuck, this is powerful enough!"

   "How about we make one too?"

  Hearing this sentence, Commander Spring rolled his eyes.

   "Without air supremacy, the whole one is useless, and is it a living target for others?"

  The warlord froze for a moment.

"what is it now."

  He is good at rushing, but only good at rushing.

  If you want to ask him how to fight the war, he will be confused.

  Commander Quanshui laughed and said calmly.

   "You can do what you want, it's not that you can't fight without air dominance, it's just a different style of play."

  What's the point of bullying a group of monkeys fighting with fire sticks?

   This is the real battlefield in front of you!

  Looking at the thick smoke that lingered for a long time, Quan Shui's eyes not only showed no fear, but sparkled with excitement.

   Time to show real technology!
