Ye Han could see from the surveillance that more and more bugs were pouring into the dungeon, and not only springtails and the temporarily named shield bugs, but also the bugs that dug through the protective walls, and the number was not high.
few.
Then it was time for the bugs to perform. They used shield bugs to block the defenders' bullets and used springtails as the main offensive force. However, all these were just a cover-up for the insect swarm. The giant bugs digging into the wall were the real main offensive force.
They dig through the walls layer after layer, constantly opening passages for other giant insects.
One of the giant insects even unintentionally dug up a shelter in the occupied area. Hundreds of people died, and the footage left behind by the surveillance was horrific.
The control center discovered this situation and immediately notified the garrison in front. The garrison immediately blocked the corresponding position and continued to block the insect swarm.
However, the insect swarm has tens of thousands of giant insects, but the garrison only has a thousand people. The two sides are not of the same order of magnitude at all. The defenders tried their best, but they could not stop more and more loopholes. In the end, the battle collapsed and the defenders
The army had to abandon its position and retreat deep into the underground city.
But how could the swarm let go of this hard-won opportunity? Taking advantage of the opportunity for the defenders to retreat, countless springtails swarmed in. They filled every passage like an unstoppable torrent and tried every means to pursue the defenders.
military.
As a last resort, the defenders had to launch a blockade on the spot and start a life-or-death battle with the insect swarm.
Although the defenders fought desperately, the numerical disadvantage was infinitely magnified by the fierce attack of the insect swarm. Although the soldiers were also wearing power armor, Ye Han knew that it was an old model from a long time ago. Not only was the battery life short, but the strength of the armor was also poor.
Relatively poor.
This was very obvious in the confrontation between the two sides. Although the springtails could not block the bullets of the defenders, and they would lose half their lives if they were hit, the armor on the defenders could not block the sword arms of the springtails. Many soldiers
He was knocked down by a springtail and never stood up again.
After a while, the battle between the two sides became fierce. Every minute and every second, giant insects and defenders died violently.
The number of defenders has plummeted. They were evenly matched at first, but the balance of victory is gradually tilting towards the insect swarm. It won't be long before the defenders will be wiped out. From what Ye Han knows, there are indeed no defenders left.
Several people, they shed their last drop of blood to protect the underground city, and they are worthy of the great term "soldier".
But how did the defenders get wiped out?
Ye Han continued to watch the video.
At this time, the scene changed. The battle situation ahead affected the hearts of all the soldiers and civilians in the underground city. It was discovered that the defenders suffered heavy casualties, and the rear immediately organized militiamen to rush to the battlefield.
The underground city has a complete mobilization mechanism. In just ten minutes, the first batch of militiamen arrived on the battlefield.
However, the militiamen's equipment is rudimentary. They only have one gun per person. They are not armored rifles suitable for dealing with giant insects, but the most common rifles.
Everyone knows that ordinary rifles cannot deal with giant insects, and the militiamen have no intention of fighting the insect swarms. After they rush into the battlefield, they immediately withdraw the bodies of the wounded and martyrs.
The battle was too fierce, and there were very few wounded who were worthy of treatment. Most of the fallen defenders died on the battlefield, and there was no hope of rescue.
At the critical moment, a man who seemed to be very effective in speaking stood up and probably ordered the militiamen to take off the armor on Martyrs Peak and let the militiamen wear it.
The militiamen did not hesitate at all and quickly took off the armor from the martyrs, put it on and then turned around and rushed into the battlefield, using the armor and weapons left by the martyrs to fight against the insect swarms.
Even the regular army couldn't stand up to the swarm, let alone the militiamen who had become monks. After all, the defenders were all serious professional soldiers, and the training level of the militia was completely inferior to that of the defenders.
In battle, the militiamen died much faster than the defenders!
In this way, while the militiamen tried their best to rescue the wounded, many militiamen also participated in the battle against the swarm. Every time they rescued a wounded person or the body of a martyr, they had to be rescued immediately.
Armor, and then find ways to put it on yourself.
Just like what the militiaman explained to Luo Qi when he first arrived here, the militiamen must continuously collect armor accessories from different corpses before finally combining them into a complete piece of armor.
After doing this several times, the armor on the militiamen became more and more dilapidated, but it seemed like they couldn't kill all the bugs. The underground city was indeed not big, but it couldn't handle the bugs everywhere, forcing the defenders to retreat again and again, and finally had to
Evacuate collectively to the core area.
In order to cover the evacuation of others, the last defender took the initiative to leave behind when retreating to the core area. This unit fought to the last person, until everyone was sacrificed, and no one took a step back.
However, when the army was completely wiped out after the break, a considerable number of militiamen failed to withdraw into the core area. As a result, the insect swarm rushed over and many militiamen never showed up again.
Ye Han felt that the corpses he encountered before entering the dungeon were probably the lost militiamen.
This kind of situation is certainly not unique in West Sixty-Four. It means that we don’t know where the others are now, and we can’t even determine whether the separated people are alive or dead.
All of this made Ye Han feel heartbroken. Although the militiamen were poorly trained, the vast majority of them fought fiercely in the battle and were no worse than any defender.
If these militiamen are given enough time, they will slowly grow into real warriors.
Seeing this, Ye Han had already understood everything that had happened before, but at this moment, the picture suddenly changed and turned into several different independent shots. One of the screens even gave a blurry close-up.
.
There was a person on the screen, and Ye Han recognized him at a glance. Wasn't that Director Li?
In the video, Director Li was directing the battle, but after just a few seconds, the swarm of insects penetrated the wall, and massive insects swarmed into the position.
Director Li ran away without even saying anything about retreat, and just threw all the militiamen on the ground.
Some militiamen also panicked and ran towards the core area. The remaining militiamen were very few. Some ran to other areas, and some directly pursued the fleeing militiamen.
Ye Han's face was ashen. How could such a guy who ran away from battle be able to control the power of the dungeon?
Although we still don’t know how Director Li became this director, we can imagine that the process was definitely not so aboveboard.
It didn't matter if Ye Han didn't watch the following video. To put it more seriously, it was precisely because of Director Li's escape that led to the complete collapse of the defense line. No matter how hard he was dealt with, it would not be too much.
But after thinking about it carefully, Ye Han decided to continue reading and figure everything out.
