The loss of contact with the fourteen soldiers allowed them to further locate the monster. After receiving the command, the soldiers headed towards the new location and began to set up fire isolation zones and prepare for fire prevention work.
Hayashi Kenichiro has already finished discussions with the Self-Defense Forces officer and the U.S. major, and is about to drop Molotov cocktails on the area to burn the mountain, forcing the target to surface on his own.
There is no time to lose. If we let the monster escape, the consequences will be disastrous.
It just so happens that we haven't had any exchanges or communication with these monsters in Japan for a long time.
“Ka-ka-ka-ka-!!!”
The sound of fierce helicopter propeller rotation rang out from the sky, and several armed helicopters from the Neon Self-Defense Forces flew through the air, and the roar seemed to carry mysterious and different new items.
"The target has been confirmed. Are you ready to launch?"
"Everything is ready, shall we launch it?"
The helicopter had already received a question about whether to proceed with the drop. Without any hesitation, Lin Qianyilang replied to the two helicopter pilots in the command room, "Confirm the drop. Make sure the Molotov cocktails completely ignite the target area."
Following the command's confirmation, the seven or eight armed helicopters began to drop some light red mysterious objects in the target area.
“Bang!”
A new type of light red Molotov cocktail fell from the sky and landed on the ground. In an instant, a raging fire broke out and burned everything.
Not only that, the surrounding flames began to spread rapidly, and the flames began to spread rapidly. The next moment, the originally green world suddenly became like a raging fire purgatory, with burning trees everywhere!
The fire was burning fiercely. Other soldiers were outside the firebreak, holding their guns tightly in their hands to prevent monsters from rushing in after being hit by the fire.
The soldiers were fully focused, ready to go, their fingers slightly bent on the triggers, breathing rapidly, adjusting their mental rhythm.
"roar--!!!"
Amidst the raging fire, a deafening roar came from the burning area. Everyone's heart tightened and the direction of their guns involuntarily moved towards the location where the sound came from.
In full view of everyone, the target location was filled with smoke, and in the ashes, a figure with half of its body burned and half charred appeared in front of the smoke.
It still had the same green face and fangs, and a red light flashed between its eyes. At the same time, bullets whizzed in, and all the soldiers pulled the trigger in the thick smoke!
“Clang, clang, clang!”
“Puff!”
Gray smoke spread in the direction of the soldiers, and the monster's figure swung at the same time. Under the mist and rain, only a few sounds of metal colliding and the sound of bullets embedding into flesh and blood could be heard.
"ah--!!!"
But these were not noticeable, what was more noticeable was the screams that echoed through the sky following the monster's afterimage.
The thick smoke began to gather violently and spread towards the other soldiers. The choking smoke made it difficult for many soldiers to move and they kept coughing. Coupled with the strange monster figures in the smoke and the screams of their colleagues, people couldn't help but feel panic.
The command center followed the main force. When Lin Qianyilang and two other officers saw the thick smoke rising into the sky, they immediately cried out inwardly that something was wrong.
The strong smoke made Lin Qianyilang cough a little. He chose a wet towel to cover his mouth and nose, and shouted to the officers on both sides: "Ahem, why is there such a thick smoke? The Molotov cocktail we expected doesn't seem to be so powerful, right?"
Setting fire to the mountains would naturally produce thick smoke, which the three of them had discussed before burning the forest. However, after reasonable calculations, they believed that the thick fog would not delay their planned itinerary.
However, the fact is that the thick smoke all over the ground was like flames burning the soldiers' hearts and lungs, and many soldiers felt as if their respiratory tracts were on fire.
"There is absolutely no problem with our calculations. There must be some extraordinary factor affecting this fire, causing the smoke to become increasingly heavy!"
Lin Qianyilang said decisively, the standard of dense fog now is almost equivalent to morning fog. Setting fire to the mountain in the open air, and what is burning is not the entire mountain, but only a small forest, how can such dense fog be produced? !
Therefore, Lin Qianyilang believes that there must be some extraordinary factors behind this matter!
"OMG, stop talking so much, what should we do now?"
Listening to the continuous gunshots ringing in their ears, in such a thick smoke, no one dared to shoot casually, but the monsters were killing one by one, and they had no choice but to kill friendly soldiers one by one, and the number of wounded was constantly increasing.
To be honest, the casualties caused by the monsters may not be as many as the accidental injuries caused to their own people in the thick smoke environment.
"Send the helicopter over and use the propeller to blow away the smoke!" the American major suddenly had an idea and shouted.
Therefore, the order was once again issued from the command center, and the helicopter was ordered to lower its flying altitude and use the highly rotating propellers to blow away the nearby smoke.
“Ka-ka-ka—”
The sound of the helicopter propellers was very loud, almost noise, but the hurricane-like force winds created by their constant rotation began to blow nearby.
Unfortunately, none of the smoke was blown away. On the contrary, all the smoke became even denser. Combined with the still burning forest area, the entire smoke was filled with red.
Seeing that the helicopter's propellers could not blow away the smoke, Lin Qianyilang and the other two officers were stunned. They were more certain that there were extraordinary factors behind the gray smoke, and their faces immediately turned ugly.
The Neon Self-Defense Force officer hid behind the car with a gloomy face and said to Hayashi Kenichiro and the American major: "Withdraw the troops. One monster is not a big deal. What is scary is the influencer behind this smoke."
They have received information about the situation at the front line. The monsters are now moving slower and slower, and they will probably be restrained by them soon. However, in this kind of weather, the damage to the soldiers will also be great.
It's still okay now. After all, not all 20,000 people are concentrated here. If there are large-scale casualties among the soldiers, then everything will be too late.
"us..."
Lin Qianyilang hesitated for a moment. He looked at the American major and was about to say something when a dull loud noise suddenly came from the sky!
The next moment, a magatama as dazzlingly white as the moon appeared in the sky, and immediately began to emit white rays of light, instantly becoming as bright as fireworks.
The light of the magatama shone in all directions, and when the light came into contact with the thick fog, the gray smoke began to dissipate on its own and gradually melted away!
Seeing this, Lin Qianyilang raised his head and looked at the magatama as bright as the moon in the sky, his heart trembling.
This is one of the three sacred treasures of Japan, Yasakani no Magatama!
