Chapter 59 "Big White" and "Little White"
The Stars team's ranking suddenly soared, closely following the top-ranked Freshman team.
This has sparked discussion throughout the contaminated area.
The video footage of the stadium before and after the bombing attracted the attention of almost all the team captains.
Besides the new generation of small fallen worms that are born as mutants, adult fallen worms can also mutate when exposed to radiation.
But this mutation looks like it will require a long and painful process.
Not all insects in the Fallen Insect Outpost are capable of combat, which is fantastic news!
"A dark horse!" someone exclaimed.
"What the hell is this dark horse!"
Weren't they among those tables in the middle that morning? And didn't we introduce them at dinner that night? They're old acquaintances on the Northwest War Medal list!
On the eve of their departure, at the roast meat dinner, among the members of the South China team who were lively at each table, a male soldier with thick eyebrows, scrolling on his tablet, laughed:
"Great, this group has really stepped up their game."
"We'll have to make our move sooner or later, and this is probably just the beginning," Feng Xu said as he disassembled his rifle.
The gun barrel overheated, causing the ejector to jam. Feng Xu dampened a towel and applied it to the barrel, then used a tiny screwdriver to pry open the ejector hook, pulled out the jammed cartridge case, and gently blew away the carbon buildup.
Feng Xu flicked the bolt back and forth, and the sound became crisp and smooth.
This is an old gun, and there's a string of scribbles he secretly carved on the stock when he joined the army as a teenager.
Over the years, this gun has been maintained by the logistics department many times and changed hands many times, yet the markings are still faintly visible.
He happened to find this old gun in a corner when he went to the logistics department to collect equipment. He didn't know whether to feel embarrassed about his immature behavior back then or to feel sentimental about this coincidence.
Feng Xu carefully slung the harness over his shoulder and held the gun to his chest.
"It's been 20 minutes, let's keep moving forward. Da Qiao, pay attention to the orders from headquarters and keep an eye on Dr. Qi's team," he shouted.
The deputy captain, named Qiao Zheng, first responded, then let out a strange laugh:
"Has anyone noticed? The headquarters always calls it 'Dr. Qi's Team,' not 'The Stars Team.' Why is that?"
"You're single, so you wouldn't understand. Some names, just saying them once, can make your heart feel sweet."
"Fighting is so tough, doesn't the brigade need some comfort?" Shi Qingqing noticed Feng Xu's face was red even through the protective suit and mask, and quickly joined in the teasing.
As a result, Feng Xu said, "You want to carry all the water yourself?" He immediately shut up and could only walk forward and wink at Qiao Zheng.
On the other side, Qi An's team was also mentioning Feng Xu's team.
The group was running frantically because those dozens of birds and insects had returned in a menacing attack!
Although the combat drone, which embodied Yang Yuning's sincere efforts, was incredibly useful for destroying nests, it consumed too much power. On its return flight, it wobbled and was spotted by birds and insects!
It was only when Qi An decisively fired the last airdrop bomb that Yu Shuang pounced like a hungry tiger, saving the drone.
"Change the battery! Change the battery! How many bombs are left?" Yu Shuang asked as she ran.
"14 shots!" Qi An replied.
It was too little! So little that it made her heart tremble!
These air-drop bombs are extremely expensive. She had a great time blowing them up, but it seems like she was wasting some of them!
Yu Shuang's heart trembled as she ran frantically while frantically swiping on her tablet.
"The Fengxu Squad isn't nearby, but there really is a squad around here!"
"No, this is way too close! It's right at the street corner!"
Yu Shuang looked up and indeed saw a figure at the north entrance of this small street.
She sprinted in a zigzag pattern toward that spot, and once she got close, she made a "call for help" gesture.
A sonic attack was blasting down on her head, and she staggered, falling into the pile of rubble next to her.
The seven or eight people at the street corner hesitated for a moment after seeing the gesture for help, until a bird-like insect stared at Qi An, emitted a sound wave, and shot out tentacles, at which point someone on the other side moved.
A perfectly symmetrical "big white" figure rushed towards us at lightning speed!
The six or seven people behind him were also quite fast.
The second person was noticeably taller. After running to within 30 meters of Yu Shuang, he stopped, slightly bent his knees, and launched himself into the air!
He launched himself from the spot, shooting up to 20 meters high, catching a bird or insect while simultaneously shooting the wing root of another bird or insect with his pistol.
The birds and insects he caught naturally fell down due to his weight and were crushed to death by the man!
The person in the lead moved with the elegance of flowing clouds, and before he even arrived, his automatic rifle relentlessly fired at the bird-like creature that had entangled Qi An.
He shot at the base of the tentacles, the base of the wings, and the neck—vulnerable parts. By the time he reached Qi An, the bird was already half dead.
Two other birds and insects also attacked this area!
The rescue "Big White" was still trying to finish off the insect that was entangled with Qi An, but two new birds attacked him!
In the midst of the confusion, the man glanced up at the sky.
He seemed to be expecting reinforcements from the sky, but he was fast enough to dodge the two sonic attacks, turn around and throw a grenade, hitting the larger bird-insect squarely.
With a loud bang, the bird was blown to pieces and fell from the sky. The man immediately shot the cyst on its head.
The other insect flew away, but a giant black and white bird swooped down from the sky and swiped at the bird-insect!
The bird's wings were already injured, causing it to fall downwards.
The rescue team, nicknamed "Big White," threw another grenade at the target, repeating the process, and took care of the two birds and insects in less than two minutes!
He looked back at Qi An. Although the large bird, as big as a falcon, swooped down on Qi An again, he had missed a minute. He was prepared to see a terrible scene.
But they discovered that Qi An had already stabbed the bird-like insect through the head and cyst with a white knife.
This person was a bit stunned.
Everyone was wearing protective suits, but Qi An was a "newbie" who was smaller than everyone else.
But this "little white" is quite fierce!
This wave of reinforcements was truly formidable, and no one in the Stars Squad held back. A wave of what could be considered a major crisis was almost completely wiped out in just 10 minutes.
But the crisis for the reinforcement team wasn't over yet; their purifiers rushed anxiously toward the two team members whose contamination levels were soaring.
Qi An turned around and saw Zhao Bohan purifying Tang Long, and couldn't help but look at the rescue "Big White" beside her.
A large bird with a white belly and black feathers landed beside the man, and a small monkey with golden-red fur cautiously poked its head out from a crack in the ruins and ran to the man's side.
