Chapter 341 Orders and Prohibitions
After saying that, the Death Scythe mercenary stopped caring about the thugs and people here, raised his height and flew away.
At this moment, Wolf Attack Thug suddenly felt his hair standing on end. He quickly looked back and glanced around, finally landing on the corner of the block.
There was a collapsed building there. The ruins were piled high. It was supposed to be a natural roadblock, but now a giant shadow appeared at the top.
It was a python-shaped ferocious beast, with a body length of thirty to forty meters, and a trunk diameter of nearly two meters. Its unique pair of eyes of cold-blooded animals stared at the humans in the distance, and it kept spitting out scarlet letters from its huge mouth.
"Oh no! The vicious beast! The vicious beast is coming!!!" The Wolf Attack thugs warned everyone at the top of their lungs.
This cry was like throwing a boulder into calm water, causing ripples. The people instantly fell into panic and screams spread everywhere.
Although the Wolf Raid was fully dispatched under Fenrir's order, their number was too small compared to the number of ferocious beasts or the huge area on the border.
No matter how dilapidated the border area is, it is still one of the main urban areas of Crescent City. Roads extend in all directions. Even if you blow up the key hubs with all your strength, it will only slow down the ferocious beasts to a certain extent, and it is impossible to stop them all.
Coupled with the loud noises made by the Death Scythe fleet when flying, the wandering ferocious beasts were attracted to the east area, which to a certain extent led to the destruction of the wolf attack plan.
When the python-shaped ferocious beast saw humans, its hunting instinct was fully aroused. It swam its long and huge trunk, carved a path through the layers of ruins, and rushed towards the crowd.
The members of the Wolf Raid responsible for evacuating the people are ordinary people or low-level extraordinary beings. They do not have the power to fight the ferocious beasts head-on, and can only rely on the light weapons they carry with them.
"Fire! Everyone fire!"
The wolf attack thug called to his companions around him, pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger on the python-shaped beast.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta--" Firearms erupted into orange-red flames, and bullets shot out like raindrops.
A chilling thing happened very quickly. The surface of the python-shaped ferocious beast was constantly exploding with glaring flames. Not even a drop of blood could be seen. All the bullets were blocked by the hard and fine snake scales.
Obviously, the power of these light weapons is good for dealing with some humans who take advantage of the situation and disrupt order, or small ferocious beasts, but it is difficult to be effective against such high-level ferocious beasts.
"Its scales are too hard! Hit it in the eyes! Hit it in the eyes!"
Finding that hitting the body was useless, the thugs started firing into its eyes.
"Puff, puff, puff -" Amidst the sound of tearing flesh and blood, the eye of the python-shaped ferocious beast was hit, exploding a large piece of flesh and blood, and the huge body also twisted crazily, and an angry roar came from its bloody mouth. .
The splashing blood dyed the surrounding rain curtain red, and the python-shaped ferocious beast continued to charge towards everyone like crazy, wrapped in scarlet blood mist.
Facing this kind of crazy charging monster, it is impossible not to be afraid. Several wolf attack thugs were so frightened that they were shaking, but they still tried their best to keep the defense line intact and unleashed their firepower on the python-shaped beast. .
Because of the soaring adrenaline, the scenery in their eyes began to become blurry and sluggish, their chests felt as tight as a huge stone, and even breathing became difficult.
Twenty meters.
Ten meters
five meters
Just when the python-shaped ferocious beast was about to rush into the crowd, the domineering beast's body finally couldn't withstand it anymore.
Its eyes were completely smashed by bullets. Everyone focused on this weak point and kept focusing on it. The bullet finally penetrated the flesh and entered the head. The huge body fell uncontrollably and rolled on the ground, stirring up a large amount of blood and mud.
A bold Wolf Attack thug clenched the grenade, signaled his companions to stop shooting, then rushed towards the fallen python-shaped beast, pulled out the grenade ring and stuffed it into the bloody hole in the eye socket.
"Boom!" After the thug escaped to a safe distance, the grenade exploded, and the head of the python-shaped beast was completely blown to pieces. Only the headless body was left twisting on the wet ground, and soon there was no movement.
The thug looked at the body of the python-shaped ferocious beast and wiped the sweat mixed with rain from his forehead.
He was just about to cheer and cheer to boost his morale, but he found that everyone was looking behind him with wide eyes, and their eyes were filled with fear.
The thug turned around subconsciously and saw more ferocious beasts emerging from the ruins of the street not far away, including many that looked higher than the one just now.
Those red eyes stared at everyone, like looking at the food that was about to reach their mouths.
Panic appeared in the eyes of the thugs like a dam bursting, and everyone retreated unconsciously.
"Roar——" As the ferocious beast roared violently, the slaughter began.
The ferocious beasts that kept coming in a steady stream easily broke through the firepower net of the Wolf Attack members and pounced straight into the crowd, causing waves of blood amidst the tragic screams.
The arrival of the ferocious beast completely triggered the panic of the fleeing people. They were crowded and trampled into a ball, with howls and cries everywhere. People at the front of the queue even lost their judgment in panic and fled directly into the fire identification zone. .
In an instant, the close-range anti-aircraft gun on the rusty wall spurted out tongues of fire, and the sound of the firepower was about to tear people's eardrums. The bullets that poured in like raindrops killed all the first batch of refugees who rushed over, and blood was scattered everywhere.
This brutal shooting forced the refugees back outside the fire identification zone. At this time, they were broken through by ferocious beasts at the rear, and the front was a restricted area where they would die if they entered. They all waved their hands desperately towards the rust wall defense troops and begged. They can save themselves.
At the Rusty Wall M6 District Patrol Station, the soldiers of the Rusty Wall Defense Force couldn't help but swallow their throats as they looked at the massacred border people not far away.
A soldier looked at the commander beside him and asked in a trembling voice: "Sir, this is forcing them to die. Can't we do something?!"
The commander said expressionlessly: "Listen, kid, the city council has ordered that the rust wall cannot be opened, so what we, as soldiers, have to do is carry out the order."
The soldier said anxiously: "Then we don't open the rust wall and temporarily close the fire identification area? Let those refugees hide under the city wall and get closer to us! In this way, if there are ferocious beasts coming over, our city defense fort can also help them Provide shelter!”
Other soldiers also echoed and agreed with this approach.
The commander's eyes reflected the ant-like people in the distance, and his voice was low: "Children, you are all smart, but you don't understand politics."
“Making a decision means having to bear the consequences.”
"Now, the order was given by the city council, and the murderers were those city defense forts. They were controlled by the system and operated fully automatically. The other party did ignore the warning and stepped into the fire identification zone. Everything was in line with the "Rusty Wall Patrol Manual". God is coming. You can’t find fault with us.”
"And when you mentioned closing the fire identification area, we cannot predict the possible consequences of this decision."
"So we can do nothing, and only we can do nothing without any responsibility afterwards."
At this moment, not only the border areas but also the inner city were in chaos.
Sheriffs were sent to assist the three giant companies in evacuating, and the security situation was completely out of control.
Leaving aside the situation on the streets, the Internet popularity of this disaster has exploded exponentially. Internet surveillance members have been unable to suppress it 24 hours a day. Videos taken by people with mobile phones or drones can be seen everywhere on social networking sites.
As for the Border Mercenary Group, the group has been flying drones over the border to follow up on the situation and provide timely feedback to Su Mo.
But now the news is that Su Mo has completely lost contact. Future and Qi Ling are trying to find a way to restore contact with him. They don't know how long it will take.
Facing the pictures captured by drones, the border mercenaries felt chilled when they saw the border people sandwiched between the ferocious beasts and the rusty wall. They were dying if they advanced and died if they retreated.
"These people in the city council are so cruel."
Dongdong is a native of the border areas. She may have put on glamorous clothes and removed her shameful dog tags, but her roots are still in the place where she was born and raised.
Seeing so many compatriots from the border being slaughtered, Dongdong's face was covered with tears without even realizing it, and his little body was trembling with grief and anger.
"Wolf Raid's side must be lacking manpower, which is why so many ferocious beasts escaped. We must do something. Yes, we must do something!"
She wiped away her tears hard, picked up the Long Steel baseball bat and walked out: "All combatants, pack up your combat equipment, get on the airship, let's go to the border!"
She hadn't taken a few steps when her arm was grabbed.
Looking back, Chu Nanyi was looking at her in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Dongdong said without hesitation: "Go and save people! Otherwise, why don't you just watch from here?"
Chu Nanyi: "Whose order is this?"
Dongdong: "Whose order is that?"
Chu Nanyi: "Go to the border to rescue people. Is this an order given to you by the captain?"
Dongdong: "He has lost contact, how can he give me orders?"
Chu Nanyi: "Yes, you also know that he has lost contact. Now there is no order coming through, how can we act without permission?"
Dongdong stood there stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "I tell you, based on my understanding of the leader, if he is still awake at this time, he will definitely give us an order to support the wolf attack!"
Chu Nanyi said without comment: "I believe it, I absolutely believe that the leader will do this. But believing is one thing, and the actual order is another thing."
"Now the city is in chaos. The leader is out of touch and has no idea what's going on outside. We can't use a so-called hypothesis or belief to make decisions for him. There are uncontrollable risks. Do you understand? ?”
Dongdong looked at Chu Nanyi in confusion, and his voice was very suppressed: "Risk. Xiao Chu, are you afraid of death?"
Chu Nanyi said without any hesitation: "It's not that I'm afraid of death! I've been through it with everyone when the Fool would be in such a dangerous situation. Are you afraid that the cycle of death will come at this time?"
"I'm telling you, what if we make a decision on our own and it's wrong?"
"What if the regiment leader wakes up in the middle and wants to make other arrangements after understanding the situation, but all our people are trapped on the border?"
The surrounding fringe mercenaries looked at each other and gathered around to comfort Dongdong.
"You have to listen to Brother Chu on this matter. He is right. This has nothing to do with whether you are afraid of death or not, but a matter of principle."
"Sister Dong, I am also from the border area. When I see my compatriots in trouble, I am also anxious, but we cannot break the rules just because we are anxious."
"Yes, unless there is a clear order, we must not act without authorization, otherwise it may ruin the leader's plan."
Chu Nanyi put his hand on Dongdong's shoulder and whispered: "Dongdong, what I say next may be a bit unpleasant, don't mind."
"The fringe mercenary group belongs to the leader, not you. Even if so many people recognize you as the second in command, you still have to rank behind the leader no matter what."
"It's no problem with some small things in daily life. You can do whatever you want. But for big things like this that involve the entire team, except for the team leader, no one can make the decision without authorization, including you."
Everyone thought that Dongdong might have a quarrel with Chu Nanyi because of his bad temper.
But no, she just stood there silently with her eyes lowered, crying silently.
After a while, she wiped away her tears with her sleeves and looked at everyone choking and said: "Okay, you are all right. I was impulsive about this. I don't ask you to do anything."
"Now I'm going to find someone else, someone who can make the decision, and ask her for help. This doesn't break any rules, right?"
After saying that, Dongdong ran out of the Edge Building without looking back.
There was a mercenary who wanted to chase him, but Chu Nanyi held him back, shook his head helplessly and said, "Let her go, she will probably go find the master."
"How is the maintenance work on the transport boat going?"
"They are in good condition and are all out of the warehouse and on standby."
"Where are the personnel?"
"Everything is in place and ready for deployment at any time."
"Okay, now we'll have to wait for 'that person'."
Outside the headquarters of Mo Xue's mercenary group, there are neatly prepared transport boats, aerial vehicles, and individual aircraft parked in the square. There are hundreds of various models in total, and they are all Mo Xue's belongings.
Shangguanli held a list of forms in his hand and was doing final inspections with his subordinates.
At this moment, a single-soldier aircraft landed in the square, and Dongdong jumped down from it: "Master!"
Shangguan Li was stunned for a moment and looked at Dongdong in confusion: "It's so chaotic outside. Why did you come to my place if you don't stay at home?"
Dongdong asked hurriedly: "Do you know everything about the border area?"
Shangguanli: "I know."
Dongdong grabbed Shangguanli's hand and said with an earnest expression: "Time is running out, and people are dying every moment. Master, take the Mo Xue mercenaries to rescue those people! I'll be with you!"
Shangguanli was stunned and looked a little confused: "Save people? Now the city council refuses to open the rusty wall passage, and everyone is blocked outside. How can we save them?"
Dongdong said quickly: "Director Schenkov is working hard to coordinate on the other side of the rusty wall. He will definitely find a way to open the passage! The key is time!"
"The ferocious beast has caught up with the refugee team. Wolf Raid is far from enough manpower and is in urgent need of assistance. We can help Wolf Raid rebuild the defense line and buy more time!"
After hearing these words, Shangguanli hesitated to speak. In the end, he didn't say anything, but just looked at Dongdong with a complicated look. (End of chapter)
