Chapter 178

, go to the water source

The captain's liking for the girl in front of him increased a little more, because he heard that she had hunted a giant python alone yesterday.

From the several times they fought side by side, we could see that she was not only a good shooter, but also a courageous fighter, with strong observation skills and a keen sense of danger.

And she discovered the dangers in advance many times, so that he had time to deploy responses and minimize the risks. It can be said that it was because of her that the last mission was successfully completed. Who wouldn't like such a good helper?

Fang Xin saw three trucks pulling heavy tankers in front of him. They should be water trucks, which could carry about 40 tons of water.

It should be a water truck used to transport water.

Looking at the side, there are three military trucks neatly arranged. One of the trucks is fully loaded with various materials needed for building houses, and a group of well-trained soldiers are moving the materials into the truck in an orderly manner.

The other two military trucks were obviously used to carry soldiers.

Look at the posture, this is to stay near the water source.

The scale of this operation is really not small.

This shows the importance of water sources.

It looked like they were planning to set up camp near the water source for a long time.

This will also improve water use at the base.

Soon a huge convoy of vehicles set out from the side gate of the base.

Fang Xin's off-road vehicle drove steadily in front of the main force, leading the way.

She held the steering wheel with one hand and with the other hand picked up the combat headset distributed by the captain and put it on her ear.

The dog sat upright in the passenger seat, his little eyes staring at the front of the car with a piercing gaze.

The road section in City A is relatively good, and the road surface has been repaved to be smooth and flat.

As for the materials used, Fang Xin didn't know much about it, but it looked like common asphalt, but also a little different.

Along the way, some other survivors, when they saw that this was a military vehicle from the A City base, did not dare to have any thoughts and retreated to the sides of the road.

After all, no one wanted to provoke the well-trained soldiers from City A who were armed with live ammunition.

Even if they entered City B, the survivors were terrified of the armed forces in City A and did not dare to get close.

However, such a large-scale battle is bound to attract a lot of attention. Especially the discovery of the water source, once the news spreads, the consequences are unimaginable.

Water is an important resource for survival. Who wouldn't want to have it for themselves?

I don't know if City A can be defended!

As the car drove out of City A, the road condition gradually deteriorated. The road was bumpy and full of potholes.

Although the car body was constantly shaking, Fang Xin's car had a good shock absorption system and she did not feel too strong a shake.

After nearly six hours of travel, we finally arrived at our destination. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Fang Xin parked the car at the edge of the crack and turned on the headset to report the situation. "We're here."

Fang Xin breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the empty crack in front of him.

She was really afraid that this place would be discovered by others after she left.

Behind him, six military vehicles were parked in an orderly manner.

Then she led the dog out of the car and waited for the captain's instructions.

After the military truck came to a stop, the remaining soldiers all got off.

The captain stepped forward first and looked down into the crack.

I didn't expect the crack to be so deep.

The captain waved his hand, "Bring the rope."

At this time Fang Xin interrupted, "No need for a rope, there is a gentle slope over there."

Upon hearing this, the captain walked forward a dozen meters and indeed saw a gentle slope.

Although Fang Xin had killed the giant python, the soldiers did not dare to slack off. They were still dressed neatly, wearing night vision goggles on their faces, holding sophisticated guns, and ready to go.

The captain gently warned, "Don't let your guard down. Send a team down with me to check."

"yes."

Eight people immediately stepped forward in unison.

"The rest of you stay on guard and wait for orders."

"yes."

The captain led the eight people down the gentle slope.

Fang Xin and Gou Zi followed the captain.

When I came to the crack, I still heard the sound of gurgling water first.

The captain was delighted, "There really is water."

He bent down, scooped up a pool of water with his hands, brought it to his mouth, and took a sip. "It's really drinkable."

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of having water, Fang Xin and Gou Zi heard a different sound.

The sound was faint at first, but gradually became clearer and clearer.

More and more insects are making noises.

“Rustle, rustle…”

It is the sound made by a large number of insects crawling quickly.

Fang Xin immediately made a judgment, "Oh no, there are mutant bugs."

The captain was startled and raised his head suddenly to look at Fang Xin.

Fang Xin pointed in the direction of the cave and said with certainty, "Inside the cave."

Everyone immediately pulled out their shotguns and went on high alert.

The captain raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you see any bugs that day?"

Fang Xin was also puzzled. She only saw a giant python that day and did not see any insects.

Fang Xin shook his head, "I don't know either."

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

The team members immediately gave the order, "Retreat to the upper level immediately. This place is too narrow and not conducive to fighting."

At the command, the soldiers immediately took action.

They turned around quickly and ran along the gentle slope the same way they came, retreating in an orderly manner.

Not long after, everyone quickly returned to the ground and stood in an open area.

"Mutant insect nests, get out of the cave and prepare for battle." The captain ordered loudly.

The soldiers held their weapons tightly in their hands, formed a formation, and stared at the cave exit.

Fang Xin led the dog and quickly ran back to the SUV. She stuffed the dog into the car in a hurry and had no time to comfort the dog.

He quickly took out a long-barreled flamethrower from the trunk and ran back to the battlefield.

After a few seconds, a large number of insects crawled out from the cracks.

“Rustle, rustle…”

The sound became clearer and clearer.

The densely packed arthropods rubbed against the ground, making a teeth-grinding sound.

Each of them has a hard shell and moves its slender toes towards humans.

The mouthparts kept opening and closing.

"Get ready!" the captain growled into the combat headset.

All shotguns were being loaded.

As the bugs got closer, the captain growled again, "Fire."

Following an order, deafening gunshots instantly filled the darkness.

The shotgun sprayed a large number of steel balls, carrying sparks, and kept shooting at the insect swarm. In an instant, a large number of insects were crippled, and green body fluids with a burnt smell splashed everywhere.

Fang Xin held a flamethrower and sprayed large areas of insects. A large number of insects were burned by Fang Xin and black smoke was emitted.

The air was instantly filled with a strong burnt smell.

I smelled it carefully and found a burning smell.

He glanced at Fang Xin and saw Fang Xin holding a flamethrower.

"ci..."

"Sizzle, sizzle."

"ci..."

"Sizzle, sizzle."

The taste became stronger, and the captain's throat rolled unconsciously.

He shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts, "Don't be distracted, watch your feet."
