Chapter 379 The war has begun

   The light of the bonfire disappeared.

   The dark forest returns to silence.

  Crawled on the rubble, Vito moved his right eye away from the scope of his sniper rifle, and a moment of surprise flashed between his brows.

   was discovered?

   His eyes narrowed slightly.

   He put away his sniper rifle decisively, raised his index finger and touched it lightly beside his ear, and said to the other two hunters who were approaching the past.

   "Wallit, Xiu, pay attention... the other party is an awakened person, suspected of hearing and visual enhancement. They have entered a state of alert, you be careful."

   There are two acknowledgments in the headset.

"learn."

"receive."

After the    order was given, Vito did not hesitate at all, pulled out the flare gun pinned to his waist, and fired a shot at the sky.

The    red signal flares flickered into the sky, hanging in the night sky like a crimson lantern.

   There is a patrol team that is on a search mission five kilometers away. After seeing the signal they send, they will immediately come for reinforcements.

   At this time, Vallet's voice came from the earphones. The muscular guy said in a somewhat mocking tone.

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

   In his opinion, his captain was overly cautious.

   He admitted that the fiasco of the 29th Marines was indeed something to be vigilant about, but there was no need to scare himself.

   Those unlucky **** who got headshots were just a group of recruits who had not served for two years. No matter in terms of ability or experience, they were completely different from the elites of the Marine Corps.

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

   "Be careful."

   No matter if 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.

   After a pause, he continued.

   "Besides, I only saw two just now, different from the three in the information."

   Muffled laughter and bone crunching from the comms channel.

   "That's right, Xiu and I are one by one."

   Xiu, who did not speak from the beginning to the end, said impatiently. .

   "Don't talk nonsense, just get things done and go back."

   Vallet squeezed his fist and grinned.

"okay!"

  …

   As the campfire went out, the camp was shrouded in darkness.

   His eyes gradually got used to the dark environment. Sesame paste, who was squatting behind the tree trunk, kept his breath on alert, and listened intently to the sound of the wind passing through the forest, and the rustling whisper hidden in the wind.

The awakening of   LV10 did not give her a particularly powerful ability, but it gave her an unparalleled hearing, and no trace of trouble within a hundred meters could escape her ears.

   Time passes by every minute and every second.

   The opponent did not immediately attack.

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

   Weak light scattered into the woods from the sky, looking up at the flare in the sky, Si Si'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 two-meter-five body is as strong as an ox. What is especially incredible is the exaggerated running speed, and it is close to the edge of the camp in a few breaths.

  Sesame Paste was the first to pull the trigger, dozens of bullets were poured out in the flash of fire, and a dense firepower network was deployed in the forest, but it did not stop his charge at all.

"really?!"

   Before being surprised, she quickly replaced the empty magazine.

   In the gap between the sesame paste ceasefire, Sisi, who calmly aimed at him, finally waited until the man entered the attack range.

   The magnetic slingshot that was ready to go was fired suddenly and focused fire towards his face, but the next scene made Si Si's eyes widen in surprise.

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

This guy--

   Is it a mutant? !

   "Haha! Useless—!"

   With a wild laughter, Vallet threw the hatchet in his right hand.

The distance of more than ten meters was fleeting. Seeing that the whirling short axe was about to hit Si Si's chest, the big white bear in steel armor roared, slapped the flying axe with a slap, and then his legs burst into flames. Force rushed up.

   Seeing the big white bear rushing towards him, not only did Valette not panic, but he did not evade and greeted him, fighting with flesh and blood.

   "You are that talking bear?"

   Being stared at by those two miserable green eyes, Rourou, although panicked in his heart, still forced a threatening shout at him.

  Wallet glanced at his mouth, his arms violently exerted force, and the muscles of Qiujie swelled like a wriggling earthworm, forcibly forcibly forced the white bear back half a step.

   The pressure suddenly increased, and Rou Rou hurriedly shouted.

   "This guy is so powerful... don't just watch, come and help me."

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

   The key is that the meat is too bulky.

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

   "I, I, I, I don't know, I rushed forward." The force holding her bear's paw was getting stronger and stronger, and the flesh was crying in a hurry.

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

   The opponents she had met before were basically slapped by her with a slap in the face, but this guy actually exerted force close to the flesh, and his strength was not lost to her.

   Is this still human? !

  Siss suddenly said.

   "Sesame paste, you take Luo Hua to the east. You can run as far as you can. It's really impossible to hide people. At least take the card back."

  Sesame paste was stunned.

"But--"

"please."

   Without further explanation, Sisi quickly pulled out the dagger tied to his thigh and rushed to help, but someone—it should be said that a bear was one step faster than her.

   Teddy, who saw the flesh in danger and was captive to the point of losing his wildness, finally let out a long-lost roar.

   Seeing another mutant brown bear rushing up, Vallet's hilarious expression finally showed a hint of panic.

   "Xiu! What are you dawdling at!" He roared anxiously and angrily.

  In the communication channel, a voice came in a leisurely manner.

   "I'm not worried about spoiling you."

The moment the    voice fell, a cold light flickered, followed by a swooshing sound.

   An arrow was hit in the back, and Teddy let out a painful roar, but still rushed towards Vallet, who was stalemate with Flesh.

   Holding a short crossbow in his hand, a hint of surprise appeared in Xiu's eyes.

   The poison he smeared on the arrows, but the dose that even an elephant can put down, is this brown bear the same as nothing?

   Just as he was about to make another shot, a flame of flame suddenly burst out in the darkness, and bullets fell like raindrops towards his exposed position.

"Grass!"

   threw himself behind the cover aside, Xiu threw away the short crossbow, and took off the assault rifle hanging on his chest.

   However, just when he was about to raise his gun to fight back, the roaring cold light made him have to give up firing and smashed the **** of the gun head-on to the man who rushed in front of him.

   The **** of the gun and the dagger made a close contact and smashed it out without any suspense.

  However, Xiu Ji didn't have time to be pleasantly surprised, and saw that the girl in front of him took out two more daggers from nowhere, one positive and one negative in his hands, swooping directly to his vital point.

   scared him back quickly.

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

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

  The huge kinetic energy slammed into the abdomen, Si Si groaned, and his body fell backward uncontrollably, hitting the tree trunk behind him.

   The strong dizziness made her almost drop the line on the spot.

  Sniper!

   roughly locked the direction of the shooting, she released the dagger in her left hand, tore off the smoke grenade hanging on the body armor, and threw it out, preventing the man from refilling the gun and threatening her teammates.

   The smoke filled the air.

   However, the second and third shots were still fired. Although the bullets were not aimed at her, it made her heart sink even more.

   She thought of the sesame paste that retreated with Luo Hua.

but--

   At this moment, she is not worried about other people's spare time.

   Strongly holding on to his crumbling consciousness, Sisi used all his strength to throw the dagger in his right hand towards the person who was approaching.

   But unfortunately—

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

   "You guys are strong, but you're still too tender."

   "Surrender, it's better to be my captive than to be that guy's captive."

   The thin man pointed his chin at the man fighting the bear, and joked, "I've never seen one who can live on his hands for a week."

  The mutant brown bear finally lay on the ground.

  Siss didn't speak, just stared at him.

   "Hehe, it looks like you haven't made up your mind yet." A cruel smile appeared on Xiu's face, "I need someone to help you."

   He took a step forward, and at this moment, three faint muffled sounds suddenly floated in the distance.

   Before he could regain his senses, there were three deafening explosions in the forest not far behind him.

  The heat wave slowly passed through the forest with the evening wind.

  Xiu was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.

what happened? !

  Siss also looked blank.

   But the roar of the three explosions seemed to come from the same direction as the sound of the previous sniper rifle. At almost the same time, a familiar voice came from outside the smokescreen.

   "Death to the Lord!!!"

   A figure as fast as lightning stepped through the smoke that filled the forest, and almost entered the battlefield together with the tongue of fire that was sprayed from the muzzle.

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

   However, at such a close distance, even if he saw it, he had no time to react.

  The bullets hit like raindrops, and a blood mist burst out from his body instantly, and before he could even let out a scream, he was pushed to the ground by the fierce fire.

   "Ssi! Are you alright!" He rushed out of the smoke, looking at Sisi leaning against the tree, his tail rushed forward anxiously.

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

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

   However, the tail didn't take the words, but was startled by Si Si's blood-stained clothes.

   "giao! Why are you hurt so badly!"

   The body armor was pierced.

   The blood almost dyed the whole dress red.

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

   "Small problem, I didn't hurt my bones. I'm from the physique system. This little injury will almost recover tomorrow... Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and help the flesh-"

"build!"

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

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

   was about to rush near.

   It was too late to say, but it was too soon, and suddenly there was a sound of "whoosh".

  I saw an RPG dragging a thick and long tail flame, sprang from the darkness, and slammed straight on the left shoulder of the strong man!

   That was an anti-armor shrapnel.

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

  The flesh is scorched and evaporated by the high temperature of thousands of degrees.

   Even a pure-blooded mutant could not reshape the burned half body in such a short period of time.

  Wallet let out a painful roar, but the sound disappeared soon, and the huge body fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

   Carrying the smoking tube, the sesame paste's chest heaved violently, and the beating heart almost jumped to the throat.

"Sesame paste?!"

   Rou Rou looked at her in surprise.

   "You didn't evacuate with Luo Hua?"

   Sesame paste whispered.

   "I... can't leave you behind."

   "Thanks, but having said that... our mission is almost over."

   Looking up at the red signal flare slowly falling into the forest, Si Si sighed silently in his heart.

   Worth it.

  The game, as long as everyone is happy.

   They did their best anyway.

   What really made her feel a pity was actually the cargo in the tail.

  After all, it only takes three days for a person to die, and the hundreds of thousands of silver coins are lost, and it will take a long time to earn them back.

   But at this time, Tails said optimistically.

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

   "Our... reinforcements?"

  Siss gave a wry smile and was about to complain about how there could be such a thing, but at this moment, she suddenly thought of something, and quickly opened the VM strapped to her arm.

   I saw it in the dark map.

   Sure enough, a string of green dots shone with hope!

"Um!"

  Tail nodded excitedly and kept saying, "It's Brother Quan Shui 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 rushing to support his tail.

  Siss' eyes flashed with surprise.

   As for that explosion...

   Probably Spring Commander's 120mm heavy mortar.

   If she remembered correctly, the name should be "Destroyer" - that is the exoskeleton that looks like a water arrow turtle.

   But that's not the point.

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

  They...they only officially set off yesterday, right?

   marching 150 kilometers in the wasteland would take five days no matter how fast it was. How could it take less than forty-eight hours to travel from Qingquan City to Ruigu City.

While    was talking, there were dense gunshots in the distance.

   Seeing the signal flares coming for reinforcements, the Legion squad collided with the Storm Corps elites who also came for reinforcements, and a fierce exchange of fire broke out immediately!

   Immediately after, three deafening explosions sounded.

   In the face of the fierce firepower of the players, the legion squad that came to reinforce quickly lost more than half of the casualties. After leaving twenty or thirty corpses, they routed westward.

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

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

   There are about twenty of them. Judging from the exoskeleton of the five-type light cavalry, these people are the elites of the Storm Corps.

   The one who took the lead was the Battlefield Atmosphere Group—the veteran player in the Stormtroopers, and he was also a ruthless man who entered the game in the early version.

   Looking at the familiar teammates, Si Si said blankly.

   "How did you... come here?"

   "Of course he ran over."

"……run?"

"Um."

The    rifle was on his shoulders, and the battlefield guy grinned and cursed.

"The Dogecoin in the spring is not a human, so I formed a team of players equipped with 'light cavalry' in the regiment, saying that the cavalry should look like cavalry, and then let us work in groups of two, taking turns as mounts, one running and the other hanging up. , 30 hours of continuous forced march... Damn, my exoskeleton ran out of power so quickly."

  Siss was stunned.

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

   She tried to make up the picture, feeling that her imagination was not enough.

   However, in theory, with the performance of the "five-style" light cavalry exoskeleton, this operation is not impossible.

   is just a little impersonal.

   "...The one who always follows you is the darkest?"

   Battlefield said with a smile.

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

"That guy's awakening ability is surprisingly easy to use when guiding artillery fire. It can not only lock the general direction of the gunshots in a wide area, but also judge the landing point of the shells. The old Goubi who just squatted and shot the black gun has already been used by our 120mm gun. The cannonball is fired!"

   Tail gave a thumbs up.

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

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

  Tail said with a proud expression: "Just kidding, my Sisi is super brave! Of course, so is the tail!"

  Siss coughed lightly and changed the subject.

   "Speaking of which, did you just drop the baggage train?"

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

   "Who will run the business with that... But then again, you didn't bring any supplies."

"It's okay, aren't you still there?" The Battlefield Atmosphere Team laughed hehe, "Brother Quan Shui said, he felt that when he flew back that day, something must have happened to you, and they were urging us to hurry along the way. Wait for the rescue. Rich woman, eat soft rice directly."

  Siss: "..."

  Tail said enthusiastically.

   "Oh! Even though I have eaten, 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 managers will reimburse them."

  Siss sighed.

   "Don't talk about these foreign words... With such a big commotion, it's time for us to change places. Tail, can you pack your luggage?"

   "Oak!"

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

  The Battlefield Atmosphere Team glanced at the bandage wrapped around Sisi's waist.

   "Are you okay?"

   Kakarot, who was standing aside, interjected.

   "My power system can carry you!"

   Hearing this, Broken Leg Kevin immediately shouted.

   "Fuck, aren't you my mount?"

   Kakarot rolled his eyes.

   "Fuck off! Who is your mount!"

   "It's okay... I'll do it myself."

   took a deep breath, Sis picked up the rifle on the ground as a crutch, and stood up with the trunk. Just as she was about to return to the truck, she suddenly saw Rou Rou sitting silently in the corner of the camp with his head down.

   "Meat?"

   The broad back did not respond.

   looked down, looking at the mutant brown bear lying on the ground, Si Si was slightly stunned, and fell into silence.

   Walking behind Flesh, she put her hand on the furry shoulder.

   Finally couldn't hold back anymore.

   His broad shoulders trembled slightly, his flesh hung his head, and his voice choked.

   "Teddy it... no heartbeat."

  Although she just kept the dumb bear in the group just jokingly, but after traveling together for so long, she has long regarded him as a partner.

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

  The clearing was quiet for a while.

   Sesame paste secretly wiped the corner of his eyes, even the most optimistic and noisy tail lost his voice at this time, and lowered his head silently.

  The players standing around were also silent.

   Most of them are old players who have qualified for the beta version of the Alpha version, and they understand the feeling that 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 memory, no matter how they die, they will never really die, there will always be a chance to come back, and they will always see the sun three days later.

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

  Those memories, sometimes more like curses, are the only pain that the helmet can't block.

   That's why they rush ahead at all times.

  The Battlefielder scratched the back of his head.

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

   "Brother Quan Shui said, let us transfer immediately after meeting with you... The other party may project regional firepower to us, leaving us running out of time."

  Siss nodded silently.

   Gently patted the furry back, she said softly.

   "Let's take it."

   Rou Rou nodded in a complicated mood.

"Um……"

  …

   Heart of Steel.

   An officer trotted across the corridor and rushed into the bridge in a panic.

  The door opened.

   he shouted in a trembling voice.

   "Report! The 29th and 31st Marines have been wiped out! Someone blocked the ground troops we sent to the eastern suburbs to recover parachutes!"

   The first day in La Vale.

   They suffered such heavy losses.

   "A bunch of trash!"

   The furious General McClen cursed loudly, looked at the crew sitting in front of the console, and almost gave an order in a roaring voice.

   "400mm main gun loading!"

   "Break those wild dogs to pieces for me!"

   He knew those people must have run away.

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

   But he still had to do it.

   for nothing else.

   He wants those ants to feel the anger rising from **** with their eyes, ears, and soul, and make them tremble in front of the gunfire 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 with a loud voice.

"Yes!"

  …

   In the silent night sky, a fire flashed, a thick column of air rose into the sky, and the sound of the guns that followed was like rolling muffled thunder that shattered the clouds.

   That night, the wastelanders in Ruigu City, both survivors and plunderers, heard the loud noise that destroyed the world.

  The shells fell on the forest-covered col, twenty kilometers away.

  The crimson flames swallowed up, billowing smoke rose into the sky, and the flying rubble and the spreading shock wave swept across the entire forest.

   Standing on a hillside several kilometers away and watching from afar, Commander Springs put the binoculars in his hand to the battlefield guy standing aside.

   "General mortars can't hit this far, 80% of them are rocket extended-range bombs... 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.

   After a pause, he continued.

   "The war has begun."

  The Battlefielder did not speak.

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

   "Fuck, this is powerful enough!"

   "How about we make one too?"

   Hearing this, Commander Quan Shui rolled his eyes.

   "There is no air dominance, so the whole one is useful, so do people use it as a living target?"

  The battlefield guy was stunned.

"what is it now."

   He is good at punching, but only at punching.

   To ask him how to fight the battle, he was blindsided.

   Commander Quan Shui laughed and said calmly.

   "You can do whatever you want, it's not that you can't fight without air dominance, it's just a different way of playing."

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

   This is the real battlefield!

   Looking at the thick smoke that lingered for a long time, instead of the slightest fear in Quan Shui's eyes, there was a gleam of excitement.

   Time to show the real technology!
