Lei Bing stared at the Blood Mosquito Beast outside with a slightly nervous smile on his face.
They returned once midway to refuel. The pilots also changed. The nearly three hours of high-intensity flying and shooting left them in urgent need of rest.
Lei Bing could have rested, but he took the initiative to follow him.
This time, they were ordered to rescue a provincial technical school that was attacked by dozens of blood mosquito beasts - there were still more than 300 teachers and students living in the school stranded and had not left the school.
It's a pity that they can't fire rocket launchers or missiles directly at the blood mosquito beast because they are afraid of hurting the teachers and students in the school.
The soldiers could only sit on the plane and shoot at the blood mosquito beasts with machine guns.
Below, snipers and heavy machine gunners were cooperating with them.
But the blood mosquito beasts would burrow into the school building and fight for more than an hour before killing four of them.
Ground troops followed up the school, but suffered heavy casualties!
Lei Bing's eyes were red and he urged the pilot to get closer to the school building and then get closer...

It's finally dawn.
Xiao Mo raised his wrist and looked at the time, 6:02.
In the suburbs and non-residential areas outside the third ring road, few people will be on the road at this time. Due to restrictions in the past two days, no one went out unless necessary, which made the wide road even quieter than before.
Xiao Mo, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, raised his eyes to see a red sun jumping out of the horizon. He moved his body to calm down his fatigue, and turned to Xue Lihong and smiled.
"There's one last one. We're going faster than expected."
"Not bad." Xue Lihong pressed his shoulder, got in the car before him, and occupied the driver's seat.
Xiao Mo took a step slower and had no choice but to go around to the other side, "You drive slower."
"Oh." Xue Lihong said slowly, but his subordinates were not slow at all to ignite the ignition, step on the clutch, shift gears, and accelerator!
They will turn around and return to the Ruixing Automobile Manufacturing Factory they left before. There is an old factory that is about to be demolished but is still in use nearby, and the last target is there.
Within a minute of starting the car, the speed had already increased to 120 kilometers.
"Slow down!" Xiao Mo grabbed the armrest at the top of the car window and shouted.
Xue Li smiled with red teeth and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
"There's a car ahead! There's a car! Ah!"
Xiao Mo screamed wildly, and this lunatic actually increased the speed of the car to 200! And when he saw the obstacle, he didn't slow down and just made a turn! The car is drifting, right? Damn it! Should he be grateful that the car is not his
"Xue Lihong! You bastard! Even if there are not as many obstacles on the road outside the city as there are in the city, you can't do this!"
"Uh-huh!"
Twenty-five minutes later, the black car made a super swerve and stopped directly outside the gate of the factory. The gate to the factory area was closed and they couldn't drive in.
"Who?" Unexpectedly, there was someone on duty in the guard box. A man in his fifties opened the door of the guard box and walked out.
This old man has no home and lives in a temporary house behind the factory. He usually works as a gatekeeper for the factory to make ends meet.
Xue Lihong jumped out of the car, without saying much to the old man, she slashed the back of his neck with a knife, half-supported his body with her wrist, and laid the unconscious old man flat on the ground.
Xiao Mo got out of the car dizzy, "If this were normal, we would have been jailed several times!"
Speeding, running red lights, making a U-turn on double yellow lines, stealing cars, stealing satellite connections, damaging public facilities, sneaking into restricted areas, breaking through empty doors, causing people to fall into coma... any one of them is enough for them to drink.
"The last one." Xue Lihong saw that the door could not be opened due to electronic operation, so she turned over and jumped in.
"Yes, the last one!" Xiao Mo turned around and took the tool bag and miner's lamp, took a deep breath, and dug in too. After turning over, I remembered that they could enter through the small door next to the guard box.
Xiao Mo caught up and poked Xue Lihong, "The little door is open."
Xiao Mo swore that Xue Lihong's footsteps paused.
"Oh. Where are the bugs?" Xue Lihong asked with a bored expression on her face, "Don't explain such a small thing."
Xiao Mo laughed and pointed at the factory building which looked very old from the outside.
"Oh my God! This is the messiest factory I have ever seen."
Xiao Mo followed the instructions of the map in his mind, pushed aside a bunch of obstacles, and just cleared out the old lathe that was pressed at the bottom.
The bug got into a bearing inside the lathe. Xiao Mo understood this and directly dragged the original tool box from the factory from the side and dismantled the exposed connecting parts of the bearing.
"Did you see it?" Xue Lihong asked standing nearby, looking around to see if there was anything he could use. There was a lot of garbage here.
"I saw it." Xiao Mo turned on the overhead miner's lamp, squatted down, and took out a long clip to pick up the gold-eating female insect inside.
As soon as Xiao Mo clamped the gold-eating mother insect, he felt a sudden vibration in the ground. The shock immediately made his feet unsteady and his body fell back involuntarily.
Xue Lihong supported him from behind.
Xiao Mo quickly retracted his hand and took off the gold-eating female insect from the clip.
"What's wrong? Is it an earthquake?" Xiao Mo grabbed the gold-eating female insect and stood up.
The ground was still shaking. Xue Lihong scanned the inside of the factory and found no place to hide.
"Come on! Get out of here!" Xue Lihong grabbed Xiao Mo, turned around and ran outside the factory.
This factory is too old, and the internal layout is chaotic. There are many illegal structures. Just the vibration just now has already caused many things to fall.
If there are continued earthquakes, they must not stay here!
The second wave of earthquakes arrived, and this time the earthquake was more intense, and the whole factory made a "clang" sound.
Before Xiao Mo could stand firm while holding on to the door, a third, stronger earthquake wave came!
"Be careful!" Xue Lihong suddenly pushed him far away, and because of the forward force, she turned several somersaults on the ground.
Behind him, half of the old factory building suddenly collapsed.
Xiao Mo didn't stand up after being pushed out of the door. He just lay on the ground and crawled forward. He didn't care that his palms were scratched and his knees were in burning pain. At this time, the ground shook like rolling waves. Everything standing nearby collapsed.
Xue Lihong was not far away from him, moving quickly on the ground with her elbows, approaching him.
"Insect! We have to find that female insect!" Xiao Mo shouted urgently. Just now Xue Lihong suddenly pushed him, and he was not careful. When he fell, he accidentally let the female insect escape from his hand.
Xue Lihong stopped climbing and half-propelled her body to look around.
Xiao Mo also tried hard to hold up his upper body. He remembered the direction in which the insect was lost.
"There!" Xiao Mo saw the insect crawling towards a crack in the ground.
Xiao Mo got anxious, stood up and ran!
"Don't stand up!" Xue Lihong shouted.
It was too late. Xiao Mo fell to the ground again before he could take two steps.
Xue Lihong quickly took out a bundle of thin ropes from her backpack with her backhand, casually tied a wrench on one end of the rope, then raised her upper body, waved the rope head, looked at the target, and swung it over.
The wrench blocked the female insect's path.
The female insect wanted to take a detour, but before she could move much, she was violently dragged back by the wrench.
The female insect flew into the air.
Xue Lihong pressed her hands on the ground, jumped out, grabbed the female insect in the air, and rolled to Xiao Mo's side.
"I'll wipe it!" Xiao Mo suddenly yelled, hugged the rolling Xue Lihong and rolled to the open space on the right.
A foot-wide crack gradually tore up from the depths of the earth and quickly tore from the front to the place where Xiao Mo had just left.
"When did our Zhongshan City become an earthquake zone? Our area is obviously a plain area, okay!" Xiao Mo yelled angrily as soon as he recovered from his shock.
"Don't move. It's not safe for us to go anywhere now. Let's wait for this earthquake wave to pass." Xue Lihong said calmly, taking Xiao Mo's backpack and putting the gold-eating mother worm into a special glass bottle.
Xiao Mo's heart beat rapidly, he wiped his face and cursed: "Damn it! I don't know how many people will die after this earthquake."
He was extremely worried about his family and King Qian, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do now but wait.
After waiting in place for five minutes, the anger of the earth gradually faded away, and it seemed that it had finally calmed down.
The two of them helped each other stand up from the ground. Xiao Mo's heartbeat has not dropped below one hundred yet.
Xiao Mo knew that the call would probably not go through, so he still asked Xue Lihong to take out the satellite phone and call home.
As expected, the phone couldn't be connected.
Xiao Mo dialed the phone again without giving up, dialing one by one.
"It's useless. This earthquake was quite strong, probably reaching magnitude eight or even higher. Can those signal base stations be stronger than the building in front?" Xue Lihong pointed at a building in front of her that originally looked brand new.
But now the building has been cut off in the middle, with the upper part pressed down below, directly changing from a twenty-story building to a two-story building, which is still a dilapidated building.
And the old factory buildings behind them have all collapsed.
All nearby buildings and facilities within sight were damaged. The only difference was that some were so severe that the prototypes could no longer be seen, while others were still standing firmly in place.
Many of the vehicles forced to park on the road since yesterday were overturned like toy cars.
A large number of lampposts and trees collapsed on the roadside.
The low, hilly land collapsed, and large amounts of soil tumbled onto the road.
On the provincial road not far ahead, a deep black crack ran from east to west.
The damage further forward cannot be seen, but a few plumes of black smoke rising in the distance are enough to illustrate the more tragic situation in the city.
Anxious, anxious, worried, fearful, unable to see what was ahead, hating his own powerlessness, and the pressure that threatened his life every moment, Xiao Mo finally couldn't bear it anymore and started yelling like crazy.
"Ah!"
"Why why why! Why all this!"
Xiao Mo's wild shouting sounded like crying.
Xue Lihong stood still and let him vent.
This man has encountered too many series of incidents in the past few days, and most of them have been unfortunate. The fact that he can survive until now before going crazy is considered to be of good psychological quality.
"Is this a curse? Or is the earth really dying, and we have encountered so many disasters in just a few days?"
Xiao Mo muttered to himself, held his head with both hands and grabbed it a few times, took a deep breath, straightened up and said to Xue Lihong: "Let's go."
Xue Lihong was a little surprised. She recovered so quickly? This man's ability to withstand stress seems to be a little stronger than he imagined.
The electric iron fence gate of the factory fell to the ground in a strange shape. The two people stepped across the gap and walked outside the factory gate.
Dozens of two-finger-wide cracks appeared on the concrete floor outside the gate, but they were not very long and there were large and small bulges.
The sentry box collapsed, and the gatekeeper who was lying on the open ground was also awakened by the shock. When he saw the two people coming out, he was still sitting numbly on the ground, seemingly frightened.
"There's an earthquake..." the gatekeeper murmured.
"I know. You have to be careful." Xiao Mo walked around him and got into the car with Xue Lihong. This time he didn't compete with Xue Lihong for the driving seat. He didn't think he could drive in his current condition - his legs and hands were still shaking, and the wounds were already healing on their own.
"There's an earthquake! God is angry!" the gatekeeper yelled at the top of his lungs, and no one in the back could hear what he was shouting.
Three minutes later, the sirens of police cars, ambulances, and fire engines suddenly rang throughout the city.
