The so-called small problem is that a new weird creature has appeared in the army of weird creatures.
It was a huge white worm, more than twenty meters long and nearly one meter thick. At the end of the body, there is a huge mouthpart that can be opened almost 180 degrees.
These weird worms slowly followed the army, stopping from time to time and swallowing many weird creatures next to them in their mouths.
Immediately afterwards, the strange worm will straighten up, and an "egg" wrapped in multiple strange creatures will be ejected from its mouth. The "eggs" drew an arc in the air and landed next to the soldiers on the defense line, with a small part falling inside the station.
The "egg" quickly broke after falling, and out of it emerged a strange creature that was swallowed by strange worms.
Although most of the strange creatures were killed by the soldiers nearby before they could recover from the stun, a small number still found a chance and caused some casualties.
The defense became a bit disorganized.
Goering, the leader of the Gray Parrot Reinforcement Regiment, looked a little cold after seeing it. He turned to the gunner and shouted: "Abandon the remaining targets for the time being. Use armor-piercing projectiles to focus on those big bugs. Kill them all without leaving a single one behind."
"yes!"
The artillery received the order and quickly loaded the artillery shells for attack. Armor-piercing bullets flew out of the barrels and flew towards the strange worms intensively.
"Bang bang bang!"
The weird worm twisted its body to avoid a few cannonballs at first, but was unable to dodge all of them. In the end, the shells hit and the weird worm was cut into several pieces and died.
The regiment leader Golin turned his head and took another look at the depths of the station. He could hear screams from time to time. They were the strange creatures that flew into the station and were destroying them.
He took a deep breath and issued a new order: "The third brigade is temporarily withdrawing from the combat order and is responsible for comprehensively clearing the station!"
"yes."
A group of soldiers rushed towards the station.
Then more orders came from Göring's mouth.
"The Sixth Brigade, supporting the Eighth Defense Line..."
"yes."
"The Second Reserve Team withdrew for repairs, and the Seventh Battalion moved in..."
"yes."
"First Captain, the ten latest magic pattern cannons that Sarin shipped half a month ago are useless in the warehouse, right? Pull them out for me immediately and place them on the main frontal defense line until the chambers are blown..."
"yes."
“…”
“…”
…
Under the continuous command of the regiment leader Goering, amidst the fighting of many soldiers, a new wave of offensive from the army of strange creatures was repelled, and the defense line returned to rare silence.
Bob, Philip, Frank and other crew members began to help again. After working for a long time, they gathered together to rest and eat temporarily - after all, they were voluntary helpers and it was impossible for them to work hungry.
The food I eat is a small green square pancake called No. 3 ration. It is said to taste much better than the No. 1 ration and No. 2 ration. It is also said that if you chew it in your mouth for a long time, it will taste like beef. Of course, it is said that it is just It is said.
As the engine commander, Bob received a large box of No. 3 rations from a certain group leader of the Gray Parrot Reinforcement Group and handed them to each crew member.
When he handed it to Phillip, Bob thought of something and asked: "I heard that when transporting the wounded before, you and Frank encountered that kind of flying egg. Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Phillip took the square pancake, shook his head, and didn't say much.
Bob didn't ask further questions, but just sighed: "It's okay if nothing happens. After all, you have a son, so you should live well. Just like me, I have a wife who is more than ten years younger than me at home, and a newborn son. I will have a little daughter soon, so no matter what, I want to go back alive."
Turning around, Bob handed the cookie to Frank: "Frank, are you okay? You're not hurt?"
Frank did not answer the question, but took the cookie. He just took a vicious bite, then another vicious bite, and swallowed it into his mouth within a few seconds. Then he looked at Bob and said expressionlessly: "Everyone will die." .”
"Huh?" Bob was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Are you... crazy?"
"It doesn't matter if I'm crazy," Bob said. "Whether I'm really crazy or fake, at least I'm not afraid anymore. To be honest, the battle is going to be different now. After a while, I might not be able to stand it anymore and I'll go crazy. But I still have a wife and daughter, I’m crazy, what should they do?”
With a long sigh, Bob shook his head. Seeing that there were extra pancakes, he picked up another one and handed it to Frank: "You seem to be very hungry. Can you eat more?"
Frank was not polite, and after taking it, he swallowed two or three more mouthfuls into his mouth, and swallowed hard with a "gudong" sound.
After eating, he wiped his mouth and repeated seriously to Bob as if he was telling him: "Everyone will die."
Bob: "..." with a weird expression.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Not long after Frank finished speaking, a sharp whistle sounded, followed by shouts.
"The enemy is preparing for a second wave of attack. All combatants are ready, and all auxiliary personnel withdraw from the front... I repeat, the enemy is preparing for a second wave of attack..."
Bob, Philip, Frank and other crew members quickly stood up from their resting place after hearing the sound. Looking outside the defense line, they saw that a few hundred meters away, densely packed strange creatures had indeed gathered again.
They noticed that in addition to the common weird creatures, there was a new large weird creature this time. The other person is more than three meters tall and five meters long. It is like an elephant, but it does not have a long trunk or big ears. Instead, it has a solid dark gray shell.
These weird carapace elephants moved slowly. Although the distance was far away, many people on the defense line felt the pressure from the opponent - the pressure from the size.
The regiment leader Göring apparently also noticed the existence of the strange crustacean. While urging Bob and other auxiliary personnel to leave, he looked at the gunner and shook his head with three fingers. The meaning is simple: fire three shells and test it.
The gunner took the order and immediately loaded the shells and prepared.
"Bang bang bang!"
After a while, the three magic-patterned cannons on the defense line roared almost simultaneously, and three armor-piercing bullets slipped out of the barrels and flew towards the strange carapace elephant. One of them was reserved too much in advance and fell inaccurately, landing behind the side of the strange crustacean. The other two hit the head and back respectively.
An astonishing scene appeared. The strange carapace swayed slightly after being hit. The two shells seemed to hit a smooth mirror. After sliding for a distance along the surface of the body of the strange carapace, they actually separated and flew out.
It flew hundreds of meters and landed again. One of them plunged into the soil, and the other used its residual force to penetrate the body of a giant bald rat.
The leader Golin's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Something that worries him happened - just like ordinary weapons and steel fists have limited power, the magic pattern cannon also encounters beings that cannot be easily killed.
Goering narrowed his eyes to a slit, and he could see the strange carapace appearing one after another in the army of strange creatures, running to the front, protecting the other strange creatures like shield soldiers, and covering the advance. , constantly approaching the defense line.
At this time, not only some people on the defense line, but almost everyone felt tremendous pressure and couldn't help but wonder whether they could stop the attack of this army of weird creatures.
Goering stared at the army of strange creatures for three seconds. The next moment, as if he had made a decision, he suddenly turned his head and shouted to the side: "Signal soldier, come here and contact me! Immediately!"
