Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1691 1692 Head

In a corridor filled with rubble, a Tang army soldier moved cautiously. He was not sure whether there were still enemies in the building, so he took every step very carefully.

Being cautious is the only option to save your life here. Even a single moment of carelessness can cost you your life.

The whole building seemed a little dim, and the sunlight could not reach here. The windows of the dwarf buildings were very small, which also affected the lighting inside the building.

The Ice Empire is really too cold, so the walls of the buildings here are very thick and the windows are very small, which is a characteristic of this place.

The houses built in this way were very strong, and many small-caliber artillery shells could not destroy these buildings. The remaining ruins became the best line of defense, which was repeatedly fought for by soldiers on both sides.

When passing a door, the Tang army soldier stopped. He looked at the situation in the room from an oblique angle and found some people lying on the ground.

He couldn't be sure whether these people were still alive, nor could he be sure whether they would do something irrational after seeing him: some dwarf civilians would scream and cry out of fear, while others would pick up weapons and choose to resist.

The Tang army has already paid a price for this. Some soldiers underestimated the injuries or sacrifices of these civilians. Therefore, the Tang army has recently carried out several "education" activities on participating in the war to make every soldier pay attention to these details.

Holding a rifle, the Tang army soldier made a gesture to his comrades behind him, then he slowly adjusted his body, trying to see more of the situation in the room.

He did not choose to throw grenades. On the one hand, he did not want to waste the limited number of grenades he could carry. On the other hand, throwing grenades would alert the nearby dwarf soldiers and expose his position.

After a closer look, I saw that the dwarf lying on the ground in tattered clothes was a corpse. He was not breathing and it seemed that he had been lying here for some time.

He looked around the body again and found several other bodies abandoned in the room with some garbage around them.

Giving his comrades a gesture of safety, the leading Tang army soldier walked through the door and continued to walk along the corridor to the next room.

The Tang army soldier following behind him looked curiously at the corpse in the room when passing by the door, and swallowed after seeing the pale face.

In the second room there were several rifles that looked very old, three or four of them were Mosin-Nagants, and two Mauser 98Ks... Just judging from the degree of wear on the stocks, these rifles had been used for quite some time.

There were some empty ammunition boxes, a box with all the grenades removed, and some bloody gauze scattered on the ground. There was also a gun belt in the corner that looked broken.

Apparently, this was once a defensive position manned by dwarves, but was later abandoned: the Tang army had captured several nearby buildings a few hours ago, making this place very isolated, so the dwarves chose to retreat.

Without touching the weapons scattered around the room, the two Tang army soldiers continued to move forward and came to the stairs at the end of the corridor.

From here, the second floor is up. After checking the second floor, their mission is considered completed: this building, which should have three floors, has collapsed by half, and the third floor is severely damaged. It is estimated that no one is hiding there. The two Tang soldiers stepped on the rubble on the stairs to go upstairs, making a slight thumping sound. It is impossible to be silent in this environment, so both of them were embarrassed.

After walking up the stairs, a new corridor appeared in front of them with doors on both sides, and it still looked dangerous.

The Tang army soldiers did not rush to attack, but waited for a while in the cover at the stairs: they must have enough patience and avoid putting themselves in dangerous positions as much as possible.

Those recruits who did not understand these principles have either become corpses lying in body bags, or have one or more holes in their bodies and are suffering in field hospitals.

After feeling safe, the two Tang soldiers moved to the nearest room to them under alternating cover. There was nothing here, only some abandoned furniture scattered around the room.

It seemed that someone had lived here before, and the dwarf soldiers might be resting here. After checking this room, the Tang soldiers moved on to the next room.

Silently and cautiously, the two men moved through the corridors, checking one room after another that looked extremely dangerous.

Some rooms still had the bodies of dwarf soldiers, some had the bodies of civilians, and some were littered with garbage like cans and bottles. The staircase to the third floor at the end of the corridor was badly damaged and looked very dangerous.

"It seems that there is no one here." One of the Tang army soldiers stepped on the wooden stairs that looked quite dangerous and looked in the direction of the third floor and said to his companion.

His companion took out a cigarette, lit it, and nodded in agreement, "That should be it. They left in a hurry. Did you smell the urine? They even left something for us before they left."

"Ha." Seeing his companion smoking, the Tang soldier who spoke first also felt the urge to smoke. He also took out a cigarette, lit it up and puffed out smoke: "Huh... mark it on the map and go back the same way."

They walked back to the end of the corridor, cigarettes in their mouths, and went down the stairs, their footsteps gradually fading away. At this time, in a dim corner of a room on the third floor, a piece of rag that looked like rubble was slowly lifted, and a dwarf sniper stood up vigilantly.

He heard footsteps when two Tang army soldiers went up to the second floor, but he didn't know how many people there were on the other side, nor did he see how they approached the building where he was hiding.

So he could only hide and wait for the other party to leave on his own: Obviously, the other party also felt that there was no point in staying in such a place full of corpses and stinking, so he left quickly.

After gathering his belongings and walking to another corner to grab his backpack, the dwarf sniper climbed up to the second floor along the collapsed wall and walked towards the position of his troops on the rubble and gravel.

The two Tang soldiers would never know that just now, there was a living dwarf lying on top of their heads, holding a Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle. They were so close that they could even hear each other when they spoke loudly. If measured in a straight line, they were only three meters apart, separated by a ceiling.
