Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 304 Even if only one person remains

Chapter 304 Even if only one person remains
Upon seeing the captain's iconic armor, Yu Qian knew that his battle could end.

He had planned to get some rest, but he never expected that after successfully retreating to the supply point with the commander, the commander would cut him in half with a single stroke.
-
Of course, it was the chest that was cut.

"Closed pneumothorax, standard."

"Fortunately, it hasn't been too long, there's still hope."

"Hey you, Liu Qi!"

"Take Class Five and go first. Go around to Pengze Town, where the Mechanical God Cult's steam locomotives are arranged to meet you."

"After getting on the bus, head north to Hukou, then take a steamship back to Base 011."

"Xie Liu, you go with them, and take the other wounded with you!"

"understand!"

Xie Liu, who had always stood by Shen Yue's side, immediately replied and then began to arrange the retreat.

I dared not touch the remaining money, so I could only lie obediently on the stretcher.

But looking at Shen Yue, who was covered in blood and had obvious cracks in his armor, he couldn't help but ask:
"Commander, aren't you going to retreat?"

"I can't leave."

Shen Yue answered casually without turning his head:

"We still have to go to the Han River."

"He Shuo--Commander He's side is about to break down."

"His expeditionary force has suffered more than half its casualties, and now it can't even withdraw."

“I have to go over there and help them get off the line, then have the bombers cover their retreat with nuclear bombs.”

"Don't worry about me, just focus on recovering from your injury."

"That was a good fight. I'll give you credit when we get back!"

".yes."

Yu Qian really wanted to stand up straight, salute the regimental commander in front of him like a real Chinese soldier, and then answer "Received" in a loud and spirited voice, but it was clear that his current physical condition did not allow him to do so.

Two injections of adrenaline were inserted into his skin, allowing him to barely maintain consciousness.

But to make any more dramatic movements would be suicidal.

At this time, Xie Liu had already arranged the evacuation of the wounded. Two soldiers from the fifth squad stepped forward, lifted the stretchers, and followed Xie Liu onto the truck used to transport supplies.

Yu Qian looked up and saw two bombers flying overhead.

As the bomber dives downwards, the bombs are dropped.

"boom!"

The loud explosion made Yu Qian's eardrums ache. He could feel that the bomb had landed not far from him.

So close?
The situation is really not optimistic.

Yu Qian frowned deeply. He knew he really needed to rest, but he just couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did.

"If only I were a Holy Bloodline like you."

He couldn't help but speak.

Xie Liu, who was sitting guard beside him, was taken aback for a moment, then said:

"Holy blood is not necessarily a blessing; rather, it is more like a curse that is like drinking poison to quench thirst."

"Our inability to reproduce naturally is the biggest problem."

"The more Holy Blood beings there are, the smaller the human population will be."

"One day, we will perish because of this."

"But at least we won't die at the hands of monsters, right?"

Yu Qian said with a wry smile.

"The commander has a better solution."

Xie Liu was no longer willing to continue the topic, so she spoke directly:
"Stop talking."

"Your lungs have ruptured; try to die as slowly as possible."

"Hold on until we get back to base, we can still save you."

".clear."

Yu Qian closed his eyes again.

The scorching sunlight streamed down from above, casting his vision in shades of black and red through the leaves.

Xie Liu's words echoed in his mind.

The team leader has a better solution.

She was right. The truck drove onto the paved road, and without the cover of leaves, enveloped in a warm red glow, Yu Qian fell asleep once more.
Meanwhile, on the Banghu defense line.

Just as Li Xian had predicted, this fragile defense line, after its first breach, quickly faced a second and third fierce battle.

The monsters charged into the crowd and slaughtered indiscriminately. The one that ran the furthest was extremely fast and even rushed directly to the entrance of the temporary command post where He Shuo was located.

At that time, no one had time to react.

Just as the command post was about to be smashed to pieces by the monster's terrifying claws, the man named He Shuo stepped forward and easily crushed the monster's head with the weapon carried on his armor.

Immediately afterwards, he took up the weapon he called the "explosive gun," and led his "personal guards"—a few outstanding soldiers temporarily selected from the expeditionary force—as well as the Holy Blood One who never left his side, and launched a fearless counter-charge.

In just a few minutes, the four monsters that had broken through the defense line were wiped out.

He himself was also injured in the battle, but fortunately, his armor protected him and the injury did not cause any serious damage.

Even so, his bleeding left arm undeniably demonstrated the difficulty of the battle.

At this moment, he stood in front of the defensive line, using all kinds of weapons to accurately kill the monsters that were trying to rush onto the lake shore.

Every gunshot that came from him inspired the remaining less than two hundred mixed-arms soldiers to continue fighting.

Li Xian lay prone beside He Shuo, firing at the small monsters flanking them with his rifle as he asked:
"How much longer do we have to hold out?"

"half an hour."

He Shuo changed the magazine of the explosive pistol and then answered:
"The main force of the flanking company will arrive in half an hour, bringing tanks and new unmanned combat equipment."

"Their mobility is far superior to ours. With their cover, we were able to evacuate smoothly."

"Why??"

Li Xian frowned.

"We can't hold on any longer. We're about to run out of ammunition. If we don't leave now, we're all going to die here!"

"Leaving now is tantamount to dying here!"

He Shuo's tone was extremely firm.

"It is precisely because we lack ammunition that we cannot engage in mobile warfare that requires alternating cover."

"If we stay here, with the lake as a barrier, we can hold out with our limited ammunition."

"If we abandon our position, if we let the monsters cross the lake, we'll die much faster than we are now!"

"Why?! We can run!"

At this moment, Li Xian's mind was in a daze. The continuous fighting and lack of rest had seriously affected his thinking logic, to the point that he even asked a question that surprised He Shuo to the point of speechlessness.

"Are you an idiot?! You think you can outrun a monster?!"

"If you really can't hold on, go get some sleep. Don't tell me such stupid things!"

"I can still do it."

Li Xian took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

His intention was to use deep breathing to slow down and rest.

But the moment he exhaled, he suddenly collapsed heavily to the ground.

"boom!"

He Shuo looked at him in surprise, thinking he had been hit by some long-range weapon. He was about to go to his aid when Li Xian suddenly raised his head again.

His forehead was bleeding from the impact of the rubble, but the brief moment of unconsciousness cleared his mind somewhat.

"How much longer do we have to hold out?"

Li Xian asked as he quickly changed the empty magazine.

"28 minutes!"

He Shuo answered through gritted teeth.

"Bang bang bang bang -"

Li Xian pulled the trigger.

Will they come?

"I heard their situation isn't good either!"

"Is there anyone left in the flanking unit?"

"This is not something you need to worry about."

He Shuo turned to look at Li Xian and said firmly:
"They will come."
