As soon as Stryker finished speaking, a nearby tree suddenly fell down - metal shrapnel exploded the bark behind the colonel.
"It seems that there are not many people on the other side, and the firepower suppresses it!"
The Katachang soldiers raised their guns and began to shoot. They either squatted or lay down, shooting a arch-shaped barrage into the dense woods. The dim little woods were immediately illuminated by bursts of lasers and tracer bullets.
Stryker opened fire while observing his position, then waved his hand, and the team immediately formed a commando formation.
"The enemy's position is ahead, but I can't see them at this position. This may be an ambush, but I don't know what it is."
Realizing that the other party was talking to him, Patat blinked and said:
“Call support?”
"We are here nearby!"
"It would be great if I could see something shooting at us."
"Stop talking nonsense, let your people take the flamethrower to the side!"
Patat then waved his hand behind him and signaled the soldiers to come with the flamethrower.
"Everyone is here!"
Stryker shouted, signaling the soldiers to disperse from the front of the target.
“Get a barbecue feast!”
The soldier pressed the trigger, and a volcanic-like liquid fire shot towards the dense forest like a horizontal fountain of flames.
Then Katachang soldiers used large-caliber live ammunition weapons to start shooting left and right.
The trees and huge ferns in front burned, and some plants were ignited in an instant, just like gasoline flowing in their bodies, some withering like dust.
About 20 seconds later, a large forest ahead was burned, allowing Stryker's team to clearly see the area 60 meters away.
Suddenly, there was no sound around, and there were no bullets fired at them.
"telescope!"
Stryker picked up the telescope handed by Patat.
"It seems we..."
The autofocus dial on the telescope was spinning, and soon Stryker saw what he wanted to see.
"Damn? What? A temple? But it seems to be an imperial facility."
What Stryker saw was a triangular building covered with armor, with the sign of mechanical teaching on it, but some strange pillars were erected around it, and there were many blood-stained skulls on the building, making it more like a place for some kind of pagan blood sacrifice...
In addition, all armor plates were sprayed with chaos badges, with defense nets on the periphery, and automatic slave workers were installed on the explosive shells.
Stryker realized that they must have triggered the sensors that activated slave labor when they approached, but now it is estimated that the servants have died due to the high temperature - although they have hardly ever lived.
“Where is this place?”
Patat also saw this and couldn't help but murmur.
"It's hard to say, but I feel it has something to do with those heresy and also with my disappearing team members."
Hearing Stryker's answer, Patat was silent for a while, and then asked:
"So what is the use of this building in this jungle?"
“Good question.”
But it’s just this problem. Nowadays, each of the soldiers is in a bad state, especially those militia, who are almost all about to reach their limits.
"Then what should we do next? Sir."
"You will know after you remove it. Be careful, the emperor will not bless us at any time. He is very busy."
Stryker obviously was too lazy to think, holding a explosive pistol, carefully approaching the building door.
Suddenly, a low voice whistled, and a scorched automatic servant nearby suddenly recovered and raised his automatic weapon.
Stryker fired three shots in a row and exploded the servant.
Then he rushed forward, rushed into the cold blue light from the crack of the open door, and raised his gun to look for the target.
But there is nothing here except darkness and deathly quiet, and there is discarded furniture and scattered paper everywhere.
Suddenly, he found a dim phosphorescence flashing in front of him, and there was a dark room there.
The room was pitch black, and when he just raised his feet, thousands of eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness staring at Stryker.
They all belong to the same...thing.
A huge thing was spinning from the darkness, stretching out its blue and white loose and bloated body, poisonous saliva flowed out of its sharp-toothed mouth, gel-like objects on the black skin were trembling wildly, greasy ash flying around it like a cloak.
After just looking at the other party for a few seconds, Stryker was already sweating all over and even soaked in his jacket.
He retreated back in horror and left the gate, and the monster followed him out.
As soon as they saw this, the soldiers threw away their guns powerlessly and began to feel nauseous.
Patat was also seized by this horror and could not move.
He cried and groped his gun. At this time, the transparent and greasy tentacles rushed out of the darkness, surrounding him as if they were hugging him, and then crushed the unlucky officer hard, making him explode like a tomato.
The Katachang soldiers who were on guard turned around and saw the terrifying creation rising from the secret room and the red one that was once Patat.
"Subspace Demon! Demon!"
Stryker started yelling at the communicator.
"All members retreat!!!"
Colonel Katachang realized at this time that destruction did not come suddenly.
It followed them and slowly approached, without any awareness, or at all, that a ruthless predator, was out of sight, ready to move, hiding his shadow.
"Hurry! Don't stop and retreat to the convoy!"
When Stryker was running, he felt his muscles in his body spasm and tingling, and there was an inexplicable chill on his back, and itchy tongue in his mouth, and his hands kept shaking.
He has a characteristic that his left eyelid will always hop when the psychic is nearby, so when he is on the boat, his eyelid will hop wildly every time he approaches the navigator.
Coincidentally, Stryker's left eyelids twitched again.
He froze, holding the gun tightly, realizing that something was wrong.
Regardless of whether the sun sets or not, it has completely disappeared. The sky is full of dust clouds like solidified oil. Ashes are galloping in the wind, and various strange forms are beginning to appear, and some blood-colored cracks appear vaguely in the clouds.
Soon, the gray clouds began to be dyed red, which was a terrible sign that some kind of change was happening in this world that they didn't know.
Suddenly, everything was silent.
It was frightening, until everything was quiet, and no one realized that the jungle was full of noise: the buzzing of insects, the buzzing of water, the rattle of amphibians, and the cry of birds.
Only when everything comes to an abrupt end will humans realize how painful it is to stay away from those sounds.
They slowed down and pricked their ears, hoping that those sounds would come back.
"All be on guard!!"
Stryker raised one hand and turned slowly, leveling his gun.
