Chapter 460 Shadow (please subscribe)
[Thank you for the big monthly ticket support of "pure spectator"!]
The battle is over.
The servants cleaned up the battlefield on the bridge, and most of the alien bodies were directly thrown into the Shadow Canyon. They will fall to the ground and become the nourishment of the earth in a few years. A few intact corpses were taken back to the barracks and handed over to the personnel of the biochemical laboratory in the barracks for anatomical sections to analyze this alien body and even genetic structure.
This has almost become a habit.
Every time a new alien is encountered, the body will be analyzed as a specimen. The biochemical laboratory will generate relevant reports about the alien as soon as possible, including naming, body structure, characteristics and possible weaknesses. These materials will be catalogued into the information database and copied and archived for emergency.
While the servants cleaned up the battlefield, Zero and its subordinate members came to the exit west of the bridge through a narrow work channel and stepped on the land west of the canyon. Looking up, you can see the thick smoke rising from the city in the distance. Without using a telescope, some scenes in the city can be clearly seen from this distance through the free view.
Many unnamed monsters are gathering on open venues like downtown squares, giving zero reason to believe that they are preparing for a second shock. In those factory-like buildings, the flashing firelight is brighter. Even if it is far away, Zero seems to be able to feel the heat in the firelight. God knows what's going on in there, but there is no doubt that it will never be beneficial to human beings.
"Over there, yes, that's it. Come on, dig a trench for me. The specifications I need are..."
On the canyon west of the bridge, Brown has begun to arrange the defense line. The terrain to the west of the canyon is from high to low, with a naturally formed mountain path winding down to the wilderness plain below. In the wilderness between the canyon and the city, there are several old high-voltage towers and the ruins of a small town. The town is close to the mountain road. After observing the terrain, Brown decided to take the town as the starting point and put multiple defense lines all the way to the top of the canyon mountain road to contain the alien attack.
Most of the buildings in the town were dumped, but there was still a bell tower and church that were still intact. They became the only commanding heights in the town. Brown asked people to install two quick-fire heavy guns on these two highs. In addition, some important strategic locations in the town were quickly cleared, which are equipped with firefighters. If the alien passes through the town, they will be cut by human firepower.
In the evening, the defense line of the town was initially completed. However, the fortifications behind the town and even above the canyon mountain road are only prototype, and those relatively simple, such as anti-infantry mine phalanxes and trenches, have been completed under the continuous work of servants. But shooting bunkers, sentry towers, etc. cannot be completed in just one afternoon. Moreover, due to the completion of the west bridge, many heavy weapons such as self-propelled artillery and cannons cannot be transported one by one.
If not, Brown even wanted to transfer artillery tanks and missile armored vehicles. If these big guys help him, he is confident that he will stay for ten days, and there will be no problem even if he lasts for a month.
Of course, this is impossible. If even the tanks could drive over, the human army would have launched a general attack long ago, and three elite teams would need to carry out defense work here.
In the face of the aliens who don't know when they will attack, the servants brought by Zero rushed to work overnight. Under Brown's arrangement, they were divided into three shifts, taking turns to rest and work, so that the deployment work was carried out in an orderly manner. During this period, even capable people such as Su and Feng also directed Brown to work, so Brown was a little proud.
Compared with the line of defense work on the zero side, James and Staley did nothing. The two captains did not talk about the defense plan with the Zero Association, and none of their personnel participated in the action of setting up the defense line. After arriving to the west of the bridge, they stationed a temporary camp on the canyon, and then there was no movement.
At this moment, James stood outside his tent and looked indifferently at the ruins of the brightly lit town under the mountain road. James wore the black uniform of the hammer of destruction, his hair was meticulously combed behind his head, and the beard on his resolute face was obviously carefully trimmed, thus strengthening James's rigid beauty. With his upright posture, the man was full of the smell of iron-blooded troops.
"Look, our colleagues are really diligent."
The strong smell of alcohol made James frown. He coughed softly and said, "Staly, I don't think the commander has abolished the prohibition of alcohol in war, right?"
It was Staley who came towards James, also in uniform, but Staley unbuttoned his chest, revealing his strong chest muscles. He is a little younger than James and has a messy hair like a bird's nest. Compared with the aristocratic James, Starley is more like a wanderer in the wilderness, if he hadn't worn the hammer of destruction uniform.
He was very disapproving of James's words: "Don't say that. The regiment leader is not here, and I don't drink much.
After saying that, Staley burped and suddenly spewed a strong smell of alcohol from his mouth. This forced James to take out a white handkerchief from his pocket and cover his nose in disgust. Staley looked at it and didn't say anything. He knew very well that his colleague had a little cleanliness fetish. Starley turned his head to the bottom of the mountain road and pointed to the town under defense and said, "What do you think of this new colleague?"
"Be more cautious than brave." James seemed to cherish the words like gold and spit out these eight-character comments from his mouth.
Staly laughed and said, "We must forgive him. He just joined our army. It's understandable that our legion's style is understandable, but what puzzles is that this boy is powerful enough to be called a strong man, but he is still as bold as the exiles in the wilderness. Set up a line of defense? It's ridiculous. No matter how many ugly and dirty things come, it's only a matter of time to kill them all.
"It's no wonder that he comes from the wilderness. First of all, he naturally acts with the method of a wilderness mercenary. Secondly, he is not like you and me. As a shadow wanderer, he is better at solo duel. So he can draw with the regiment leader, but there is nothing he can do when he meets an alien group.
As if he was not ready to talk again, James turned away and went straight into his tent. Starley looked at him, looked at the town below, and finally raised his hand. With a bottle of vodka in the big man's hand, Staley poured it into his throat like water and let the liquor wet his clothes. Then, the martial artist staggered towards his camp and shook his head as he walked, "They are all boring guys."
Zero sneezed.
"What's wrong?" Leah asked curiously, "You won't catch a cold, will you?"
"Cold? How is that possible?" Zero laughed and said that it is impossible for the physique of capable people to be affected by low-level germs. Even mutayi beasts in the wilderness rarely have diseases. In the new world, the main reason for threatening the survival of species is the lack of resources and the stability of their own genes, not the diseases of the old era.
Zero and Leah are in a clean house in the ruins of the town. In Zero's hand, a nearby topographic map is displayed on the screen of the tablet brain. From the topographic map, you can see the overview of the town and the mountain roads behind it. There are red lines marking the defense lines that have been set up and will be set up in this area. Brown adopted close joint defense, forming a joint defense zone through multiple lines of defense.
There is nothing we can do. If circumstances permit, Brown can arrange two or three lines of defense with heavy weapons and firepower advantages. However, under the current conditions, the number of defense lines can only be increased to make up for the lack of firepower and personnel.
Looking at Ling frowning, Leah asked, "Is there something wrong with Brown's line of defense?"
"There is no problem. Brown has sufficient military experience. He uses multiple lines of defense to make up for the shortage of firepower personnel, which is the most correct means of deployment. But the problem is that with our manpower and resources at hand, it is barely enough to defend such a large area. When necessary, we can only give up some defense lines and shrink the defense surface to strengthen the firepower. But this is not the way..." Zero raised his head and sighed, "If only the two of them were willing to help, then we can spare at least half of the manpower to implement Haiwei's proposal."
The voice fell, and Zero suddenly trembled all over. Leah can clearly feel the energy in Zero's body suddenly surging, like an erupting volcano, which has entered a state of war. But Zero moved, and his eyes became confused and far-reaching, as if he were staring into the distance.
Lia didn't know that she saw two worlds in her eyes at this moment. The left eye sees the real world, but in the right eye of Zero, things become blurred and transparent. The walls of the room gradually disappeared, and Zero could directly see the world of the town, and even see the soldiers smoking in the fire point. The firelight of cigarette butts flashed and became the most obvious Taoist sign in the world.
Then, the world of nothingness continues to expand. When small towns, soldiers, wilderness, electric towers and even distant cities disappear. What Zero sees is a desolate and continuous world. The world is so desolate that Zero can't feel any vitality. And at the end of the world, there is a huge shadow.
From a distance, the shadow seems to remain unchanged. But Zero felt endless majesty from the shadow, and the pressure was as deep as an abyss, as if there was no limit and end. When Zero felt the pressure, the shadow began to roll in the direction of zero. Wherever the shadow goes, the world disappears from zero perception, as if it has nibbled on the world of consciousness.
The strong crisis made Zero instinctively enter a state of war, but in this world of consciousness, he can do nothing. Until the area of the shadow was nearly twice as large as what was seen at the beginning, two narrow light appeared in the shadow. The light suddenly expanded from the upper and lower directions and suddenly formed a pair of huge eyes.
There is nothing in the eyes, but Zero gives birth to a sense of being stared.
A desolate voice rolled from far away: "Son of the planet..."
Zero made a loud shout in the world of consciousness, and his whole body burst into energy. So the world of consciousness suddenly disappeared. When Zero came to his senses, he found that there was a crack in the wall of the room, but it was cracked by the energy he had just bursting out.
Everything is like a dream, but Zero knows that it is true.
Something is spying on itself.
But that thing is not Prosius. Prosius gives zero the feeling of destruction and death, but the shadow just now only shows a desolate atmosphere, like a long life that exists in the wilderness.
"Are you all right, Zero?" Leah's little face turned pale. At present, she is barely squeezed into the third-order level. It's not a joke to fully withstand the breath of zero, an eighth-order strongman. If it hadn't been for the close relationship with Zero, Leah would have had a certain resistance to Zero's breath and pressure, and other low-level abilities would have fainted.
Zero shook his head and found that he had sweated profusely and felt a sense of emptiness. He silently observed and found that his energy level had plummeted by nearly 40%. Just now, in the conscious world, he forcibly broke through the other party's conscious world, but he didn't want to consume such huge energy. And all this happened in just a few seconds, but it was no less than a big war.
"Just now, I seemed to be peeped at." Zero said.
Lia was at a loss: "But I can't feel anything."
Zero nod, judging from the other party's level, I'm afraid it's not below you, or even surpass yourself. Due to the suppression of the position, it is normal for Leah not to feel the other party's peeping.
Celia just spoke, but her face suddenly changed. She raised her head, her eyes became blank and said urgently, "Wait, I feel a lot of life reactions. They are approaching!"
As soon as I heard it, I immediately climbed to the third floor rooftop. But holding the railing of the rooftop, the wilderness on the other side of the city was dark, but there was no trace of any object moving. He was wondering when he heard a sound of wings. Ling suddenly looked up, but saw a large dark cloud in the sky pressing down!
That is naturally not a dark cloud, but thousands or even more flying beasts. These flying beasts have the body of wolves, but they have the wings of eagles, which are an alien race seen from the data.
Palidong!
"Attention, air raid!" Zero shouted, and the sound spread all over the town and wilderness to the camp above the canyon.
James and Staley ran out of the tent untily and saw a black cloud hovering around. As they passed above the town, two bright flames roared into the air and cut into the dark clouds. The next moment, several flying beasts fell down, thus opening the prelude to the night attack.
The two bright lights came from the quick-fire heavy artillery on the two commanding heights of the town. The heavy gunner tightened the trigger and controlled the heavy gun to bomb the cannonballs in mid-air. Where the fire bullet chain passes, flying beasts are not only injured, and it seems that their individual defense is not strong. But this is only relative to the heavy firepower of the rapid-fire heavy artillery. Brown's soldiers in various fire points in the town also began to attack, but the automatic rifles in their hands have limited threat to flying beasts.
Generally, you need to shoot eight or nine bullets in a row to shoot down a flying beast. But the flying beasts that fell down died immediately, and they crashed into the fire point. When you rush out again, you usually talk about one or two soldiers. Following the wolf's kiss, he tore a living life in half!
