The ten biochemical bodies that went down ahead of time were from Group A, among whom were Xing Bi and Lin Sheng. The ejection device on the engineering vehicle was already in place.
From jumping onto the engineering vehicle to carrying the parachute, and then standing on the ejection device, their speed and movements are almost the same. It can be seen that they are capable of first-level biochemical bodies. There is no need for commands or running-in. They will choose the optimal route at the same time.
Qiu Shi rushed to the edge of the cliff and looked down. The firepower network had been pressing on the top of the camp, but because the black pine forest below was denser than that on the cliff and the terrain was unclear, the firepower suppression could only protect the people in the airborne stage. After landing, they would fall into the encirclement of the infected.
In this situation, we can only rely on the ten biochemical bodies ejected in advance.
Qiu Shi turned around and saw that the red light on the catapult of the engineering vehicle turned green, followed by the sound of the engine starting. After a low roar, the biochemical bodies of Group A were catapulted into the air by a powerful force, passing over the black pine forest on the cliff and over Qiu Shi's head.
After a precisely calculated ejection, the highest point was slightly north of the center of the camp. After a brief hovering period, the biochemical bodies began to fall.
When they were approaching the sky above the black pine forest below, ten biochemical bodies opened their parachutes at the same time. The ten black parachutes continued to fall faintly in the darkness like ten exploding small flowers.
After seeing all ten parachutes disappear into the pine forest, Qiu Shi began to stare at the zipline hanging from the edge of the cliff.
"Zhao Yi," he called, "report the situation."
"I can't see clearly," Zhao Yi replied, "Long Hao and I have found a suitable fixed point!"
"Got it. Find cover after securing it." Qiu Shi said.
"I saw Xing Bi." Zhao Yi said.
Qiu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Although the situation was still critical, Xing Bi would always be a powerful undercover guard who could make him relax.
"The No. 3 zipline has been fixed." said Zhao Yi.
"Zipline No. 7 has been fixed!" Long Hao's voice also came.
"Number three, take it," Qiu Shichong ordered the armored vehicle pulling the end of the zip line, "Number seven, take it."
"Zipline number five is fixed!"
"Zipline number two has been secured."
"Number five! Number two! Collect!" Captain Yang's voice followed.
After the biochemical bodies of Group A went down, the task of fixing the zipline became smooth.
"The first group is ready to slide down!" Qiu Shi took off the pulley hanging on his waist and squatted on the edge of the cliff. He must be the first to slide down. If there is any accident, he has a stronger ability to deal with it than ordinary soldiers. "Number one, number four, answer."
"Zipline number six has been secured."
"Number One! Number Four!" Qiu Shi called again, "Who are Number One and Number Four?"
"Zheng Yu and Lu Yu." Zhao Yi replied, "I'll go and see."
"I'll go." Lin Sheng's voice came from the headset.
"Numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 will set off." Qiu Shi hooked his pulley onto the number 2 zipline and jumped off the cliff. "Numbers 1 and 4 will be postponed to number 2 and 5."
The soldiers behind him put on the pulley one after another and began to slide down with him.
The biochemical bodies ejected by Group B also set off at the same time. There were biochemical bodies between each zipline, and they covered the human soldiers on the ziplines while falling.
The wind was very strong, blowing from his trouser legs to his crotch, and from his waist to his neck. Qiu Shi felt as if he was sliding down naked, and his whole body was numb from the cold.
Humans who cannot stand the cold and biological organisms that can selectively be insensitive to the temperature are at a clear disadvantage.
"Pay attention to the attack below." Qiu Shi pulled the pulley with one hand and stared at the bottom with the other hand. On the map, he could see infected people gathering right below him. He fired a burst of bullets at the infected people's position and said, "Follow my shooting point."
The soldiers in the air opened fire one after another, and many of the bright spots of the infected on the map disappeared.
"Number one and four are fixed." Lin Sheng's voice sounded again.
"The second batch of descents will start in normal order!" Captain Yang shouted.
When he was about three meters away from the ground, Qiu Shi let go and jumped into the pine forest. He could already see the infected people below him, and when he fell, he hit one of them on the head.
Qiu Shi could feel that the infected person was being smashed down into a ball by him.
He drew out his knife and quickly cleared out the infected people around him, leaving a safe area for the soldiers behind him to land.
A biochemical being quickly approached him.
For some reason, without looking at the name next to the bright spot, Qiu Shi knew it was Xing Bi.
He turned around and saw Xing Bi rushing out from the darkness, raising his hand and shooting him.
The bullet flew past Qiu Shi's right ear with a sharp whistling sound.
A symbiote fell to the ground a few meters away.
"Thanks," Qiu Shi said, "This biochemical is a good shot."
"Don't be distracted," Xing Bi looked at him, "this human."
"All teams, assemble," Qiu Shi pressed the headset to talk, "Prioritize clearing the infected. Lin Sheng, how is the fixed point doing?"
"We need support, otherwise we won't be able to get everyone down here." Lin Sheng said.
"Let's clear the fixed point first." Xing Bi ran towards the fixed point.
Qiu Shi glanced at the group behind him who had just landed from the zip line and said, "Follow me."
Through the headphones, one could hear Sang Fan, who was part of the second group to land, reporting coordinates to Captain Yang.
"Those who have landed, provide cover from the ground!" Captain Yang stayed on the cliff, giving orders while bombing the camp according to the coordinates given by Sang Fan.
As soldiers continued to enter the camp through the zipline, the infected began to gather under the zipline. After the group B biochemical bodies landed, they began to clean up on the spot.
According to the original plan, the descent process would take more than ten minutes, during which time it was necessary to ensure that the fixed point of the zipline was not damaged.
When Qiu Shi led his men and followed Xing Bi to rush to the fixed point, they heard chaotic gunshots, the shouts of soldiers, and the roars of the infected.
The symbiote is still hiding in the shadows, especially the host that controls these infected people.
The symbiotes have strong combat and coordinated combat capabilities, but they now have the advantage in terms of both numbers and firepower, especially since the surprise attack has bought time, so the symbiotes will definitely avoid the most powerful wave of attacks first, use the infected to create chaos, cause certain casualties, and then appear in frontal combat.
So they must find the symbiote as quickly as possible while ensuring that all combat forces reach the battlefield.
"We have to find where they are hiding." Qiu Shi swung his knife and chopped down two infected people who were rushing towards him.
"Xu Jie, Ji Sui." Xing Bi spoke.
"Looking for them." Ji Sui said, "They have animals, not just bears."
"What did you find?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Hair and feces." Xu Jie said.
"Will infected animals poop?" Qiu Shi was shocked. To be honest, he had never thought about whether the infected people would have these physiological needs. After all, he would kill them if he saw them, and would not watch.
“… maybe he had it before he was infected.” Xu Jie said.
Discussing the issue of animals pooping in the heat of battle can slightly ease the fear and depression of facing death.
Qiu Shi would trip over things from time to time. When he looked down, he saw that some of them were the bodies of the infected and some were their soldiers.
The controlled infected people attacked very efficiently. Qiu Shi knew how lethal these things that seemed to be easily killed would be once they gathered into groups and were controlled by a main body. If they could not kill them with one blow, their attacks would not be affected by injuries. On the contrary, once human soldiers were injured, they would easily lose the upper hand in the siege.
Many of the dead soldiers had wounds so deep that you could see the bones. Their faces were covered in blood and you could see their expressions of pain, despair, and fear...
But more of it is anger.
This is where humans have the advantage. They will be angry when they see their comrades die, they will be angry when they see such cruel means of control, they will be angry when they are injured, they will be angry when they are afraid. Humans have stronger emotions.
In a sense, it is a weapon.
The more humans that fell around them, the angrier the remaining humans became.
At fixed point No. 2, Qiu Shi saw Zhao Yi and a level 2 biochemical body, as well as several black-blooded people who were dressed like jungle nomads. Under their feet were a group of infected people who had just been killed.
"We are fine for now. One Level 2 biochemical body can take on several of us," Zhao Yi's face was covered in black and red blood, and his voice was trembling because he had just finished fighting. "There are seven people left in Team 2. They have monkeys, infected monkeys, who are more flexible and stronger than humans."
"I'll go take a look at the ones in front." Xing Bi said and went to another fixed point.
"Hold on until all the people are gone." Qiu Shi did not dare to ask Zhao who was missing from Team 1 and Team 2. He could only try to keep his tone calm. "It will be almost there."
"Find the main body," Zhao Yi said, "The shielding device we brought down has a limited range. As long as they don't enter the range, we can't interfere with them."
Qiu Shi's heart moved: "Captain Yang, I need the coordinates of a few shielding devices."
"Are you Qiu Shi?" asked a black-blood man.
"Yeah." Qiu Shi responded.
Captain Yang immediately sent him the coordinates of the jammers. From the map, one could see that the four jammers were distributed almost evenly, without leaving too many blank spaces on the main battlefield.
"The two shields AB can be retracted 20 meters." said Qiu Shi.
"I'll move it." said Sang Fan.
"You are Qiu Shi!" The black-blooded man's voice was filled with joy.
Qiu Shi glanced at him and found that the man was staring at him.
The black-blooded man raised his hand and scratched his forehead with his thumb before he could react.
"What?" Qiu Shi frowned.
"This." Zhao Yi pointed to his face.
Qiu Shi discovered that there was a horizontal black line between his eyebrows, which seemed to be smeared with fungal residue, just like the one on the foreheads of these black-blooded people.
"Have you injected the inhibitor?" Qiu Shi couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Zhao Yi said.
"The one standing upright is the leader." said the black-blooded man.
Qiu Shi didn't know what to say. He just said, "Thank you" when he turned and left.
Xing Bi already understood Qiu Shi's thoughts. When Qiu Shi moved towards the east of the camp, Xing Bi caught up with him from behind.
"Do you want to go by yourself?" Xing Bi asked.
"I knew you would follow me," said Qiu Shi.
"We?" Xing Bi smiled.
Yes, Qiu Shi could see on the map that Xing Bi’s old team members were following him from behind, and Sang Fan also came over quickly after moving the shielding device.
These are all the first-level symbiotes in Yuncheng.
Although the reverse experiment requested by Xing Bi has not been completed, and the biochemical body is at risk of being controlled by the super-symbiont, under the current circumstances, the five symbiotes can still play the greatest role.
If the super-communist regime can be controlled, then try to kill it before it takes control.
Although the black pine forest where the camp was located was very dense, there were few rocks on the ground and most of it was pine needle soil covered with snow, so there was nowhere to hide.
After narrowing the shielding range, the five symbiotes lined up and squatted in the eastern pine forest where a breakthrough was left.
Qiu Shi squatted behind an old pine tree behind Xing Bi, staring at the darkness ahead.
The sounds of fierce fighting were still heard behind them. Their zipline was not damaged and all the combatants would arrive at the camp as planned. From that second on, their numbers would only decrease and not increase.
"Qiu Shi, on the southeast edge," Deng Yeye's voice came from the headset, "We found their 'zoo', and there are still animals that haven't been released yet. There are many infected animals, monkeys, gorillas, wolves..."
"Blow it up." Qiu Shi gave the order decisively.
"Right away, burn it after the worship." Deng Yeye said.
"What?" Qiu Shi lowered his voice and asked while staring at the map, "Why do you lunatics cook fungi and worship monkeys?"
“Pray for blessings, they believe these are sacred animals.” Deng Yeye said.
"Don't waste time!" Qiu Shi shouted in a low voice.
"Thirty seconds," Deng Yeye said, "I have no choice. I have to adapt to working with anyone."
Qiu Shi didn't say anything else. Now he could only adapt. The black-blood people played a significant role. They had been living in the unsheltered wilderness for a long time. They were particularly good at jungle warfare and had strong combat effectiveness and adaptability.
Deng Yeye’s estimation was very accurate. Thirty seconds later, flames suddenly appeared in the southeast direction, first in one spot and then connected into a whole area.
The fire spread rapidly to the south with the wind, illuminating half the sky. Snow and black smoke could be seen dancing wildly in the sky, as well as black debris thrown into the sky by the air waves.
Four bright spots appeared on the map.
"Here it comes." said Qiu Shi.
Xing Bi and his men did not wait for the symbiotes to get close before attacking, but chose to rush towards them.
When he leaped up and rushed forward, Qiu Shi saw in the light of the fire that the black mark on the side of his neck suddenly grew, quickly spreading from the collarbone to the side of his neck, and from the side of his neck to his face.
Just like when he was in Xima Town, his left face was hidden in the black vine-like net.
There are four symbiotes on the other side, and several unrecognizable animals.
Qiu Shi took off a small cannon from his back and placed it on his shoulder.
He saw those animals through the scope, they should be wolves.
He had also seen pictures of this thing.
Lang.
Four gray wolves half a man's height.
Where on earth did these symbiotes find all these things? However, the lethality of the four wolves is far less than that of the big bears above, and they probably just wanted to disrupt the rhythm of Xing Bi and his men's attack.
When the wolf pounced on them, Xing Bi landed on the ground, crouched and passed under the wolf, and the four team members swung their knives in the air towards the wolf's head.
Almost at the same time, three wolf heads fell to the ground, and one of them had its head split in half.
Sang Fan still used an axe.
Now the offensive formation of the five people has been slightly changed. Xing Bi is at the front and has already met the fastest arriving symbiote.
There are three more to come.
Qiu Shi held the cannon steady and fired at the position in front of the three symbiotes.
The bullet flew past Xing Bi with smoke, and when he punched the throat of the symbiote in front of him, the shell exploded in front of him.
He took advantage of the situation and used the symbiote's corpse to block some of the flying shrapnel.
"The zipline mission is complete," Captain Yang's voice came from the headset, "All combat units have entered the enemy camp, and the flank support troops have set off."
"Clear them all, from north to south, and set fire," Qiu Shi said, "The humans will also press from north to south, with the biochemical bodies leading the charge, and the human soldiers providing long-range fire cover from behind."
"Brothers, fight quickly and decisively," Captain Yang shouted, "Don't give them any chance to buffer!"
The wind is very strong now. The incendiary bomb on the northern cliff fell into the pine forest and caught fire instantly. Then the fire began to move southward along the wind.
"Old Deng," Xing Bi said, "Take your men and go around from the side."
"I understand." Deng Yeye said.
The black pine forest was crackling as the fire burned, and the dark night sky was burned into an orange-red color, so bright that it was dazzling. Coupled with the roars of guns and human soldiers, Qiu Shi had the illusion that the sunrise was rising at that moment.
Qiu Shi followed Xing Bi and the others and moved quickly through the pine forest, clearing out the infected people who rushed out from time to time. Behind them was the Yuncheng army who followed the fire all the way.
The second-level biochemical bodies were responsible for cooperating with the human soldiers. The first-level submersibles selected by Xing Bi before, plus the second batch of first-level submersibles sent from Yuncheng, were catching up with Qiu Shi and his vanguard troops while cleaning up.
And at this moment, a bright spot suddenly appeared in front.
For a moment, Qiu Shi couldn't count how many there were.
"Two hundred meters," was all he could describe simply. "It's a lot."
"There is super-communism." Xing Bi said.
This is an ambush made by super symbiotes in advance. Judging from the number, most of the symbiotes in this camp are here.
At this moment, these ambushing symbiotes chose to fight head-on.
This was a battle situation that Qiu Shi had never imagined.
Face the attack head-on.
This ancient and brutal fighting method is like a duel.
"Bring the cannons up." Qiu Shi stopped and leaned against a pine tree.
"Cannon, follow me!" Zhao Yi shouted.
When he heard Zhao Yi's voice, Qiu Shi's heart suddenly felt warm.
As he raised the cannon, a group of first-level stealth guards rushed out from behind him. In front of him, Xing Bi and his men had already encountered the symbiote that was also rushing towards them.
When Xing Bi leaped up and collided with a symbiote in mid-air, Qiu Shi felt that he could hear the dull sound of the impact even though they were nearly a hundred meters apart.
The symbiote was knocked away by Xing Bi, and the chest was dented, probably due to Xing Bi's elbow.
Zhao Yi and seven or eight soldiers carrying cannons arrived. He knelt on one leg beside Qiu Shi, carrying the cannon and aiming forward: "This is really... eye-opening, so many."
There were indeed a lot of them. It was also the first time that Qiu Shi saw so many biochemical organisms.
It was also the first time I saw a biochemical battle of this scale.
"I'll mark the location for you." Qiu Shi took aim and fired a shell slightly past the enemy's ambush position.
Zhao Yi immediately followed suit by firing the second and third shots. With continuous explosions, many of the symbiotes that were lying in ambush and had not yet appeared were killed. Their bright spots suddenly appeared on the map, and then disappeared in an instant.
"There's a big thing!" Deng Yeye whispered as he led his men around to the back of the symbiote.
"Super Communist," Qiu Shi's heart tightened, "Give me the coordinates."
Deng Yeye has the map system of Yuncheng and sent him the coordinates.
"Xing Bi," Qiu Shi saw the coordinates, "is fifty meters ahead of you."
"It's going to pass!" said Deng Yeye.
"Stop it!" Qiu Shi stood up and threw the cannon to a soldier who had just arrived. "We need to control it and not let it get close to Xing Bi and the others."
Although he felt that Deng Yeye and the others did not have the ability to stop the supercommunist, Xing Bi and the others were now locked in a fight with the symbiote and could not escape. Once the supercommunist got close to controlling it, it would be the end of them.
Qiu Shi pulled out his gun, first moved horizontally to the west quickly, then turned back to the south and ran in the direction of the Communists.
A symbiote discovered him, kicked the tree trunk, and pressed down on him from the air.
Qiu Shi did not stop, but knelt down directly, using inertia to slide forward, while leaning back, and two shots accurately hit the neck of the symbiote.
Not all level one beings are as powerful as Xing Bi. The symbiotes choose this mode of symbiosis in order to allow less powerful biochemical bodies to have stronger power. However, as long as they are isolated and the people who support them are restrained, their weaknesses will be exposed.
The tactic Xing Bi and his team are now using is for a group of five to cut out one or two from the symbiote group to attack, while the remaining biochemical bodies are responsible for outer defense.
Although there were casualties, the speed was very fast.
From the map, I watched them gather together, kill off the little bright spots, move again, and gather together again...
"We caught it!" said Deng Yeye.
"Who did you hold?" Qiu Shi was stunned.
"Nonsense," Deng Yeye said with some difficulty, "Of course I'll catch that big black monster!"
The scene of Deng Yeye and those black-blooded people pulling the arms of the super-communists flashed through Qiu Shi's mind. He really couldn't imagine how they could hold them back.
But Deng Yeye can already be seen on the map, and she has indeed only moved in a small range.
"Xing Bi." Qiu Shi called Xing Bi.
No matter how Deng Yeye and his men "hold back" the Communists, they only have one chance to attack.
"Right away." Xing Bi said.
Qiu Shi ran to Chao Gong's position and was shocked to find that Deng Yeye and the others had actually shot a crossbow with a steel chain into Chao Gong's body and were holding it tightly.
However, although the Super Communists move slowly, they are very powerful and are constantly struggling to move forward.
Several biochemical organisms broke away from the battle and began to attack the supercommunist, but it was obvious that those symbiotes wanted to protect the supercommunist. Someone immediately followed and aimed directly at Deng Yeye and the others who were pulling the steel chain.
The biochemical body quickly intercepted.
Qiu Shi aimed at the Communist Party and threw a bomb at it.
As expected, it was the same as before. This thing was very resistant to explosions. After a bombardment, it was hardly damaged.
And as if it was startled by the explosion, it shook its body violently, and Deng Yeye and the others who were pulling it were pulled off the ground and fell heavily to the side.
At this moment, the Super Communist Party suddenly raised its head.
Qiu Shi's heart sank suddenly and he rushed over there desperately.
A thin, faint high-frequency sound was heard.
"Xing Bi!" Qiu Shi yelled, "Xing Bi!"
"I'm here." Xing Bi's voice was cold but steady.
The five-man group leaped up and landed in front of Chao Gong.
Xing Bi was not controlled by this voice. It was obvious that he controlled Lin Sheng and the other three, probably by utilizing the combined willpower of the five people.
He slowly raised his hand, holding the blade of a knife, and blood was dripping from his palm.
"Zheng Ting," he said hoarsely, and then punched the super communist in the chest with his knife-holding hand, "Look at me."
The author has something to say:
To be continued tomorrow⊙▽⊙.
Oh, it’s so urgent. I haven’t checked for typos yet. I’ll do that in a while.
Yesterday a child asked if it was going to end. It is more than halfway through, but it won’t end suddenly after this battle. There is still more to come.
