"...Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?"
Humming an off-key song, the fat rat shook the tin can in his hand, pouring tons and tons of fuel onto the unoccupied roof.
Since unlocking the "hidden profession" and becoming a sharp blade under the manager's cloak, forcing others to do something difficult is like being reborn, and I feel like I have rediscovered the meaning of my existence.
Sure enough, compared to showing off on a frontal battlefield, it is more in line with his game style to do evil where no one can see him.
So what if no one knows?
It is enough for the manager to know.
After thinking about this, it is hard for anyone to feel that the plague in Xizhou City is at least half of my own fault.
"Human thing, Die! Die!"
With a chuckle, he shook the fuel can in his hand until the last drop of fuel was poured out.
After doing all this, he straightened up and glanced left and right. Seeing that no one had noticed him, he quickly slipped away from the roof along the safe route scouted by his younger brothers.
A group of mutated rats with iron cans strapped to their backs followed excitedly.
The iron cans on their backs were of course not made by others, but were air-dropped by a mosquito man in the jungle three kilometers away from Qingshi County under the cover of night. He ran over and picked them up according to the marked points on the VM.
.
Those iron cans were strung together with ropes, filled with biomass fuel with thickeners and accelerants added, and dropped with parachutes.
Although many jars were scratched by branches or simply dropped to the ground and leaked, most of them survived.
In one and a half months, Qiang Renshi relied on his familiarity with the terrain and his short and compact body to transport more than 2,100 iron cans to the hiding spot in Qingshi County, transporting a total of nearly 11.2 tons of mixed fuel!
In the early hours of last night, when everyone was offline, he received the task of dumping fuel mixed with thickener on the roof of the weak link in the northern defense zone of the Predator.
The mission to attack Qingshi County would start in the early morning, and he knew the news earlier than any other player.
With the help of a group of younger brothers, most of the difficult task has been completed.
Although his little rat brothers are a bit stupid and can't do the job of dumping fuel, they can still understand the order "Follow the boss".
In fact, they don't know what they are trying to do, let alone the use of those smelly and viscous liquids, but the movement in groups makes them extremely excited.
Even humans who can crush them to death with one kick will subconsciously panic when they see them appear.
This makes them feel like they have conquered the city.
And the fattest "one" who brings them together is their king!
…
"What does it smell like?"
North side of Qingshi County.
The roof of the half-collapsed five-story building was filled with logs and concrete. Garbage everywhere on the wasteland tightly packed the dilapidated building, leaving only a water-cooled light machine gun mounted on a narrow shooting hole.
Standing at the entrance of the machine gun fort, Heifeng sniffed, frowned and muttered.
"Why does it stink so much!"
From the moment he started, he smelled a strange smell.
Apparently he wasn't the only one who smelled it.
Feng Si, who was squatting next to the machine gun, also wrinkled his nose.
"Hiss... I smell it too."
This is the sentry post on the north side of Qingshi County.
Not far from them was the only road leading from Qingshi County to Xizhou City - although that road was too dilapidated to be called a road.
Their staff officer Bernie probably had a grudge against trees in his previous life, and he has been mobilizing them to cut down trees, build fortifications, and reinforce bunkers in the past few months.
Not only are a large number of firepower points deployed in the south closest to Yuanxi Town, but there is also a lot of construction work in the north close to Xizhou City.
He even suggested to Lord Lion Tooth that he should allocate a hundred slaves to repair the dilapidated road.
In the words of the staff officer, the ground is dead but the people are alive. The opponent may not necessarily launch an attack from the nearest position, but may also detour to their side or even their back. Strong defenses and smooth supply lines,
It can help them gain more battlefield initiative.
But to be honest, Hei Feng doubted whether the other party really had the guts to come to his door.
They have a whole thousand-man troop stationed here, and the equipment they received from the legion is not just a few rifles, but also dozens of 100mm artillery and trucks towing the artillery.
Not only that, there are tens of thousands of people stationed in Xizhou City behind them. Once there is an attack here, massive reinforcements can reach the front line within a day at the latest.
But having said that, the looming stench still made Hei Feng uneasy.
"I'll go out and take a look."
With these words behind him, he grabbed the Ripper rifle leaning against the door and followed the pungent smell.
Go downstairs and onto the street.
A breeze happened to blow by.
He roughly judged that the smell was coming from the roof of the house next door. Heifeng alertly loaded his rifle and approached it cautiously.
Lower your steps and climb the stairs.
However, when he followed the stairs to the top of the building and pushed open the half-open door, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
I saw a fat rat that stood up to half the height of a man, humming a tuneless song and shaking the iron can in his hand up and down, spreading the black fuel everywhere.
That scene was simply too terrifying.
The mouse not only spoke human words, but even sang songs.
That absurd scene made Hei Feng suspect that he was hallucinating before his eyes. He froze on the spot and even forgot the movements of his hands.
The fat mouse didn't notice him.
However, the "little mice" surrounding the fat mouse immediately noticed the uninvited guest, bared their fangs and hissed at him.
Unexpectedly, he noticed the movement behind him, turned around, and his round eyes happened to meet the gaze of the predator at the door.
A smile appeared on his face that he thought had resolved the embarrassment. Without hesitation, Shu Qiang dropped the tin can in his hand and quickly pulled out the pistol inserted in the belt at his waist.
However, the plunderer was obviously not a vegetarian. He quickly recovered from his surprise and even pulled the trigger one step faster than he could have done.
boom--!
There was loud gunfire from the rooftop.
The strong man groaned, his chest was pierced by a rifle bullet, and he fell backwards next to the rusty water tank.
However, this shot did not make him lose his fighting ability. He aimed his pistol at the entrance to the top floor and fired three shots in succession, forcing the predators who were about to rush back to retreat.
Bullets whizzed past his head, and Heifeng felt the hair on his body stand on end, completely confused as to what was happening.
A mutated rat half as tall as a man is scary enough. Not only does it speak human words, but it also pours fuel on the ground with an oil can?!
Even pulled out a pistol and fired at him?!
He didn’t take any drugs last night either!
At this time, his teammates on the rooftop next to him probably heard the gunfire and shouted in his direction.
"Brother, what's going on there!?"
Black Wind fired at the fat mouse hiding behind the bunker while shouting in horror at the top of his voice.
"Rat! A rat half as tall as a man! Damn it! He actually fired at me!"
"mouse?!"
His teammates were obviously confused and were silent for a while.
Heifeng knew that he could not explain clearly, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to fire, hoping that the patrol would hear the gunshots and come over quickly for support.
Although rats do not have the debuff of "callous hands and calloused feet", there are still various disadvantages when using human weapons.
He was shot in the body and felt like his life was passing by rapidly. A large amount of blood poured out of his stomach with every breath.
"Damn! This physical attribute is completely useless!"
"Forget it, I only have 24 hours to revive the CD anyway..."
After firing the last bullet in the magazine, I felt so overwhelmed that I could no longer hold the pistol, and took out the matchbox with trembling fingers.
A wisp of fire ignited at his fingertips.
The flame was very weak.
However, the moment they saw that light, whether it was the shivering rat boy hiding around or the predator squatting at the entrance of the corridor, their faces showed fear as if they were struck by a ghost.
"No!" Black Wind exclaimed.
However, the fat mouse had already thrown the match on the ground and laughed sharply.
"Hahahaha! Human things——"
"Die!"
The flames shot up and engulfed the fat rat entirely.
The strong man standing in the flames, screaming and laughing, was like an evil ghost walking out of hell. The raging fire burning beside him instantly turned the entire top floor into purgatory.
The raging fire quickly spread along the fuel on the ground and the wet traces left by the rats, igniting all the iron cans on the rats' backs.
The burning rat screamed and struggled like crazy, jumping up and down and running away, bringing the flames to nearby buildings before being burned to death.
The continuous gunshots and billowing smoke quickly attracted the attention of a nearby patrol, and a ten-man team quickly came to support.
Heifeng, carrying a rifle, escaped from the smoke in a panic, and happened to bump into a captain of ten, who grabbed him by the collar.
"What's going on with the fire here!"
Facing the murderous gaze, Heifeng stammered.
"Old, mouse, a mouse half as tall as a man. It was pouring fuel upstairs. After I found it, it lit a match..."
Upon hearing this endless narrative, the tenth captain was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.
"Do you think I'm stupid?!"
Now is not the time to talk about this.
The tenth captain released his grip on Heifeng's collar and asked his men to keep an eye on the suspected arsonist. At the same time, he ordered others to put out the fire immediately.
There are no lakes or rivers in Qingshi County. Their water sources mainly rely on purified rainwater and a few wells. If the fire is allowed to continue to spread, the entire southern part of Qingshi County may become a fire scene!
However, at this moment, a harsh scream suddenly came from the sky.
Before the tenth captain could react to what was happening, a hail of bullets came roaring in, and the concrete pavement under his feet was blown into pieces!
Cement debris blown away by bullets littered the street corner, and a dilapidated concrete wall was directly blasted into a steel frame.
Heifeng, who got down in time, luckily escaped, but the buddy next to him was not so lucky. Three 10mm cannons directly wiped out half of the man's body!
Looking up at the "sky fire" falling from the sky, the mice that survived the fire stopped one after another.
In their view, the flames falling from the sky were the work of their boss, and those arrogant humans were fleeing in all directions under the power of the horned rat.
Not only did they not feel that they had been betrayed by their boss, the fear in their eyes turned into admiration.
So handsome!
…
The roar of the cannon faded away.
Heifeng, whose eardrum was almost broken, struggled to crawl out of the rubble.
However, what he saw immediately froze his breath in an instant as he survived the disaster.
The captain who had grabbed him by the collar earlier had been crushed into a pulp by the rain of bullets falling from the sky. The few looters next to him were also killed on the spot by machine gun fire.
Not far from Heifeng, a predator carrying a rifle lay on the ground, his entire lower body a bloody mess, and only incomprehensible whimpers and wails left in his mouth.
There were stumps of limbs and broken arms all around.
And all this is just a breath of time.
Fear was reflected in Heifeng's pupils, the rifle in his hand shook uncontrollably, and his legs trembled involuntarily.
The burning roof was constantly blowing sparks off the building, and the fire had spread to the street, and a loud roar was heard in the distance.
I don't know whether it was the fire that set the ammunition depot on fire, or whether it was a bomb dropped from a plane.
Heifeng raised his head and looked blankly at the sky.
Planes were hovering in the sky like mosquitoes, their noses spitting out tongues of flame from time to time, strafing around the fire scene.
In every round of dive, countless lives are harvested.
"……devil."
The rat that speaks human language, the cross that breathes fire and flies, and that ghost-like scream...
All of this looks very much like him
With his eyes muttering in horror, Black Wind didn't even have time to think about who their enemy was, so he moved his lead-filled legs and ran towards the machine gun fort.
Not far away, on the roof of the building, the water-cooled machine gun was spitting out tongues of fire, shooting wildly into the sky, venting futile and useless firepower.
Not long after, a plane roared past the fire point, and then an aerial bomb hit the building that was spitting out flames.
The flames of the explosion shot into the sky.
The hot shock wave hit Heifeng's chest, and he was blown away as he was about to rush to support his teammates.
When he wiped off the blood and debris on his face and struggled to get up from the ruins, the five-story building not far away with a machine gun fortress had only three and a half floors left.
And the machine gun fortress built of concrete and logs was bombed to the point where not even a scrap was left.
Seeing everything in front of him, Heifeng could no longer hold back the fear in his heart and ran out like crazy. He didn't know where he was going and just wanted to stay away from this street.
And a similar scene.
With the arrival of the Goblin Corps fighter group, it is happening everywhere in Qingshi County...
…
"Free Fire!"
"Repeat, free fire!"
Bullets were flying around behind him, and the adrenaline-filled Mosquito shouted excitedly, swinging the joystick sideways to perform roller maneuvers to evade.
He finally discovered it.
Although the machine guns of these predators are powerful and the rate of fire is fast enough, their accuracy in shooting into the air is extremely poor.
Since there are no tracer bullets to correct the trajectory, these predators with no experience in air combat can only shoot towards the sky based on their feel.
He only needs to make a few simple evasive maneuvers to get rid of the firepower chasing his wings, and then change direction to attack the firepower point biting his teammates.
The tranquility of the early morning was disturbed by the noisy gunfire, and the flying bullets filled the entire sky. The entire Qingshi County was like a ignited powder keg.
The fuel that had been forced to be dumped on the roof before was all ignited by tracer bullets mixed with magnesium-aluminum powder and phenolic resin.
The entire southern part of Qingshi County turned into a sea of fire, and the looters who had no time to escape were burned to death on their beds. The burning streets divided the battlefield like walls of fire.
The predators soon found themselves in a dilemma.
If they put out the fire, they will definitely need to mobilize a lot of manpower. However, once the crowd gathers, they will inevitably be targeted by the aircraft hovering in the sky.
But if they let the fire continue to spread, the supplies they stored in the south would soon be reduced to ashes in the sea of fire.
In a department store.
Lion Tooth stood up from the ground holding on to the table, and in shock and anger, he grabbed the messenger who came from outside to report the news.
"Where the hell did that plane come from?!"
"I, I, I don't know, those planes came from the south... there were fifty, oh no, fifty-two of them in total. They didn't say hello and suddenly opened fire on us."
The face of the predator who was stared at by the leader was full of fear, and he hesitated for a long time and was unable to say a complete sentence.
Just half a minute ago, two aerial bombs hit the building, and the deafening roar almost caused everyone here to lose their hearing.
Fortunately, this building built before the war was strong enough. The two aerial bombs only scraped off a little cement and did not cause obvious damage to the structure of the building.
But even so, it's scary enough.
"Fifty-two planes?! Are you sure?"
After listening to the messenger's report on the battle situation, Bernie's face was full of surprise.
The predator swallowed and nodded quickly.
"I'm sure! I counted carefully!"
Bernie's heart sank.
A month and a half ago, after listening to the information brought by the apostles of the Torch Church, he thought it was great that those blue jackets could hold two or three planes.
But I didn't expect that dozens of them would come at once...
Although it was an old propeller aircraft, for the Bone Chewing Tribe who lacked anti-air firepower, the firepower falling from the sky was undoubtedly fatal.
He could think with his toes that the opponent's ground troops were probably already on the way. There were no copper mines in Yuanxi Town, and the railway to Yuanxi Town was built with their lives in mind!
If it were in the past, Bernie would definitely advise Lion Tooth to retreat, abandon their positions to preserve their strength, wait for the large forces to concentrate their forces, and defeat them with a human wave offensive.
However, the other party has a plane...
No matter which direction they retreat from, they are seeking death.
Lion Tooth looked at his staff officer anxiously.
"what should we do?!"
Bernie gritted his teeth and said.
"No need to panic! They only gained a little advantage in the sky, but the ground still belongs to us. Without the assistance of ground troops, it is difficult for their aircraft to cause effective damage to us."
"The troops in blue jackets are obviously on their way here, but they chose to use planes to attack first. Most probably because their numbers are limited, they plan to use planes to create chaos and create fighter planes for the ground troops. At this time, we must not cause chaos ourselves!
"
After all, Lion Tooth was a captain who had experienced hundreds of battles. Although he was panicked for a moment, he quickly calmed down.
Looking at Lion Tooth who was gradually calming down, Bernie gave his own suggestions in a deep voice.
"Ask your men to find a bunker nearby to take shelter. Remember not to leave the bunker and engage in firefights with the aircraft! All ground machine gun positions, regardless of caliber, turn their muzzles and shoot into the air!"
Although this is not a good idea, there is no better way.
If you allow those planes to fly away after dumping their ammunition, and wait until they have replenished their ammunition and then pounce on them together with the ground troops, that will be truly fatal!
The other side is just a propeller plane.
Bullets with a caliber of 7mm or above are enough to effectively kill them!
"In addition, you need to immediately detach a hundred-man team, do your best to control the fire in the south, and protect our ammunition depots and firepower points scattered in other areas! At the same time, notify the hundred-man team on the northern defense line to prepare to engage the enemy!"
"Xizhou City is less than twenty kilometers away from here, so our large forces must have noticed it."
"As long as we hold on until reinforcements arrive, victory will belong to us!"
…
"Brothers! Disperse!"
The bullets fired from the ground suddenly became denser.
Almost all machine gun positions raised their muzzles and aimed them at the sky, causing considerable trouble for the dive-bombing gliders.
Mosquito made a prompt decision and ordered the flight formations to disperse, with the strategic locations marked on the VM map as priority targets, and the secondary target of destroying the enemy's effective forces, each fighting on their own.
The strategy of dispersing the attack did work. The fire network from the ground to the sky was dispersed as the flight formation dispersed.
However, even so, there were still two unlucky guys who were unfortunately hit by machine guns while diving.
A W-2 broke its wings in the air and crashed straight into the machine gun bunker on the roof. The cockpit of another "Moth" was beaten into a sieve. Although the plane was still flying, the VM was hit by bullets.
Dry fly came out.
Looking at the two smoking planes, while feeling the pain of the mosquitoes, I couldn't help but mourn in my heart for my ace pilots.
"Brothers!"
"I will avenge you!"
The combat attrition of the flight formation continued, and planes fell from the sky from time to time, but not a single plane escaped or parachuted.
Everyone was furious.
Whether it's a pilot in the sky or an infantryman on the ground.
The looters hiding in the ruins were not even satisfied with wasting machine gun bullets. Many even raised their rifles and shot into the sky, regardless of whether they could hit the target.
After all, the wing was hit by several shots, and a 7mm machine gun bullet even penetrated the cockpit and flew out after grazing the mosquito's left leg.
Glancing at the VM strapped to his leg with his peripheral vision, Mosquito calmly grasped the joystick and lowered the flight altitude, shaking off the incoming bullets.
As the height dropped, the firepower behind him decreased sharply.
Ignoring the light machine gun chasing after him, Mosquito accelerated towards the ammunition depot marked on the map without hesitation.
The moment the sights overlapped, he skillfully pressed the button to release the bomb.
The 100-kilogram aerial bomb separated from the belly of the aircraft and poured straight into the semi-collapsed concrete wall.
As the explosion sounded, and after a short delay, sparks shot up into the sky dozens of meters high.
Almost at the moment when Mosquito pulled up the nose of the plane, the crackling sound of ammunition exploded throughout the street, making it as lively as the New Year.
The scurrying predators were instantly swallowed up by the thick smoke and flying shrapnel. For a time, the ground was covered with corpses, and there were countless casualties.
"Hahaha! Happy New Year!"
The tense face finally relaxed with a hint of excitement. Mosquito dropped the last bomb and continued to lock the artillery position on the south side of the map.
Two 100mm artillery pieces are hidden under the bunker made of wood.
The looters seemed to know that they had planes, and many strategic locations were camouflaged with garbage or shelters.
However, what they don't know is that the eyes of the New Alliance are not only active in the sky, but there are also a pair of bright eyes hidden in the ruins on the ground.
In the past month and a half, a certain rat has clearly figured out their position.
Where is the ammunition depot, where is the sleeping place, where is the firepower point, and even the command post hidden in the department store, he has marked it on the map by category.
Although there was no one on the artillery position, Mosquito lowered his altitude, loaded up a bunch of 10mm cannons, and gave the artillery position hidden under the wood a hot bath in case the ground troops attacked later.
, someone went up and fired.
After finishing the sweep, the mosquito was about to pull up the nose of the aircraft, but at this moment, thick and long tongues of fire suddenly spurted out from the dark window not far away.
Da da da--!
Wood chips flew from the left wing and broke into two pieces in the middle. The W-2 ground attack aircraft flying close to the roof of the building instantly lost its balance.
"Grass!"
Just as Mosquito had time to blurt out a national curse, the belly of the aircraft came into close contact with the rooftop below, rolled sideways and crashed into the half-collapsed two-story building opposite.
This time, my head was buzzing with mosquitoes, and I was disconnected on the spot. I had to reconnect repeatedly for ten minutes before I could log back into the game.
When he opened his blurry eyes, he found that his plane was stuck on the outer wall of the building, with the rear half dangling in the air and the front half drilled into the wall.
A twisted steel bar penetrated the nose of the machine, splitting the propeller and motor into two pieces from the middle, and stopped exactly at the position of the joystick.
Fortunately it stopped.
If he had moved an inch further, he wouldn't have to waste any effort to reconnect and would just go back to the forum and wait for the battle report.
This time I took it off.
"Oh my god... this is so exciting." Mosquito gasped, but was so choked by the thick smoke around him that he almost burst into tears.
There were fires burning all around.
Judging from the map, his current location should be the southernmost side of Qingshi County, right behind the Bone Chewing Tribe’s position!
And the VM who is trying to force others to do something difficult is on the roof of the building not far from him...
After wiping off the sand and blood on his face, knowing how much hatred he had caused, the mosquito did not dare to waste a second. He hurriedly pulled out a Pu-9 submachine gun from under the seat and threw it into the building in front.
Then he reached out and grabbed the exposed steel bars on the wall, and got out of the broken cabin.
Almost at the same time he got out of the cabin, bullets whizzed past from the side of the street. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to look back and immediately rushed towards the collapsed stairs.
Fleeing from the building in disgrace, Mosquito quickly turned into a small alley. However, just when he was about to run away, he found that it was a dead end before he took two steps.
His face suddenly turned green, and just as Mosquito was about to turn back, he found that the predators had already chased him to the entrance of the alley.
There is probably a Centurion being exterminated here.
Upon discovering him as a lone pilot, almost all the nearby predators gathered around him.
These people didn't seem to intend to simply kill him. Instead, they threw cigarettes into the alley and pushed towards him while leaning on the cover.
The mosquito quickly emptied one of its magazines, and even after searching around his body, he couldn't find another mosquito. He suddenly felt desperate.
"Damn it! You guys are actually putting out fires! There are so many people who don't put out fires, so chasing after me, a guy who flies a plane, is useless!"
However, the predators had no idea what he was talking about.
And Mosquito estimated that even if they understood, they would not listen to him 100%.
Looking at the faces with grim smiles and distorted expressions behind the thick smoke, Mosquito couldn't help but think of the books he had read and shuddered involuntarily.
"Forget it, I'm still not serious... I'll see you on the forum later."
Taking out a dagger from his pocket, Mosquito prepared to make his final resistance.
However, at this moment, dense explosions suddenly came from the distance, and the earth-shaking roar could be clearly heard even from a distance of more than ten miles.
The looters blocking the entrance to the alley were obviously startled by the explosion, and they even paused in their forward steps.
Mosquito was stunned for a moment, glanced at the time on the VM, and a trace of ecstasy instantly appeared on his face.
Can't go wrong!
That's the sound of rockets!
The ground force offensive has begun!
Without any hesitation, Mosquito reached out and pressed the headset, exhausted all his strength, and roared excitedly.
"Goblin Regiment Artillery Team!"
"Fire at my coordinates!"
It’s Chinese New Year, and book friends with spiritual roots are using this app to read aloud, listen to books, and catch up on updates on the road!
