Point 1, rear Dragon Fang Fort, underground elevator.
Zhou Dingguo was fully clothed in the "Dragon Scale Armor" Mk-III. The heavy exoskeleton made him look no different from an ordinary soldier on the front line.
The pungent smell of blood filled the entire compartment, and the metal floor beneath his feet was extremely slippery with a layer of dark red blood stains that had not been cleaned in time.
His face was calm as he looked at the chief of staff who was also fully armed beside him.
"Does our army have any troops that can be mobilized?"
The chief of staff took out a cigarette from his pocket, but did not light it. He just held it between his fingers and shook his head bitterly.
"Commander, the battle has been going on for almost a month, and the troops are still not fully staffed."
"There's such a large group of fortresses in the rear. Each one needs to be manned with a minimum number of personnel to defend and operate the various firing points. I really... can't spare any more people."
Zhou Dingguo nodded heavily and asked no more questions.
Around him, inside the elevator, stood a row of soldiers from the 52nd Army Command Guard Company. They all had expressionless and resolute looks.
With a bang, the elevator shook slightly and stopped.
The gates are open.
The noisy shouts, desperate wails, and the never-ending roar of gunfire mixed into a wave of sound that poured into Zhou Dingguo's ears.
"Quick! Quick, quick! Follow me!"
The platoon leader of the guard company called on his soldiers and rushed out first.
Zhou Dingguo followed out and cursed at the chief of staff beside him.
"That son of a bitch Liu Songming doesn't need to shoot me. If I'm going to die, I'll die in battle!"
-----------------
In Zhongli's field of vision, the No. 2 Fire Fort, two or three hundred meters to the right front, was already covered by endless darkness and distortion.
The third battalion...I'm afraid it's in great danger.
But he didn't care about that.
His left eye had been blinded by the flying gravel, and warm blood was flowing continuously.
On the right shoulder, a pitch-black tentacle penetrated deeply into the flesh, and a large amount of blood also spread on the abdomen.
But he seemed to have no sense of pain. He roared, his fingers never leaving the trigger of the twin-linked machine gun for a second.
The barrel of the gun was already red, but it was still roaring rhythmically, spraying shells at the enemy.
Click, click, click…click.
The machine gun is empty.
"Reload!"
He shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Reload!"
......
No one responded, and naturally no one came to reload.
He subconsciously looked around and found that there was already a layer of corpses piled up in this half-finished bunker, which had not yet had a roof built.
These corpses were all soldiers from his second battalion.
They are all Zhongli's soldiers.
"ah--!"
Tears welled up from his only remaining right eye, and his vision blurred instantly.
He choked and howled meaninglessly, pounding the cold handle of the machine gun with his fists.
Tears streamed down his face, mixed with blood, and couldn't stop flowing.
Suddenly, a hand supported his shoulder.
Zhongli was slightly stunned. In his blurry peripheral vision, he saw someone pushing a heavy ammunition box and, with the help of an exoskeleton, accurately stuffing it into the ammunition feed mechanism of the machine gun base.
Click.
Feeding completed.
Zhongli perked up and raised his hand to wipe away the tears and blood from his right eye.
At this moment, he could see clearly that Commander Zhou Dingguo was holding his shoulders with a look of concern on his face.
And the person who helped him change the bullet was actually the army chief of staff.
Zhongli was like a child who had suffered a great injustice and suddenly saw his father, and he cried out with sobs.
"Commander!"
Zhou Dingguo nodded with a smile.
"Are you okay? If you can't, I'll do it."
Hearing this, Zhongli felt a surge of heroism in his chest. He turned his head sharply and pulled the trigger again towards the abyss monsters that had spread into the triangle area.
-----------------
Zheng Ye used his brand new mechanical left arm to block a spike and desperately dragged an exhausted and unconscious fifth-level military warrior back to the back of the mecha.
Most of the right arm of the mid-level warrior had been corroded by the dark mucus.
Seeing this, he quickly roared.
"Medic! Medic!"
For a long time, there was no response.
Qin Lan held a Type 07 rifle and roared while pouring fire forward.
"Uncle Ye, stop shouting, there's no one here!"
Zheng Ye remained silent, pulled out his tactical dagger, and cut off the remaining half of the warrior's arm to prevent the erosion from spreading further.
At the same time, he took out the hemostatic spray and bandage from the individual first aid kit and gave the wound a simple treatment.
After doing all this, he pushed Qin Lan.
"Stop fighting, go check on Colonel Jiang."
After Qin Lan finished firing a volley of bullets, she was about to bend down and lower her head, but she was stunned.
Zheng Ye sensed something was wrong and also stuck his head out.
About a hundred meters away, a sixth-order abyss monster opened its huge mouth, and filthy energy quickly gathered to form a black sphere with a diameter of about one meter.
And the direction the giant mouth was pointing was exactly towards them!
Zheng Ye only felt his scalp tingling, his mind went blank, and he forgot to react for a moment.
boom!
At the critical moment, a super-heavy electromagnetic cannon shell belonging to Thor's hammer arrived first and accurately shattered half of the abyss monster's body.
However, a second before the dark flesh and blood exploded, the ball of energy still spurted out.
It deviated slightly from the planned trajectory and headed towards the mandrill on the right side of the triangle formation.
The veteran Zheng Ye shuddered all over and finally reacted.
