Chapter 301 Dangerous Moment

The rolling mountains, the dense forests, the mutant beasts that hunt and are hunted, constitute the paradise of animals, the Great Mountains.

There is no roar of human machines in the Great Mountains, only the occasional calls or screams of mutant beasts, and the sound of wind blowing leaves, everything seems very peaceful.

At this moment in the southwest of the Great Mountains, this peace was broken.

The roar of guns and cannons sounded here, the flames caused by the explosion rushed into the sky, and there were also deafening beast roars, and the beast roars were connected, turning this place into a hunting ground for beasts.

At the entrance of the underground base, which is more than ten meters wide, it has become a Shura hell. Countless corpses of humans and mutant beasts lie here, and rolling blood flows into the cave slope, forming a blood stream.

Near the cave, yellow bullet shells fell all over the ground, and a gun pit could be seen from time to time. More than a dozen armored vehicles and tanks were destroyed here, or they were torn to pieces by mutant beasts, or they were crushed by powerful mutant beasts, turning these human war machines into a pile of scrap metal.

The battle outside the cave entrance is coming to an end. There are hundreds of thousands of mutant beasts here. The lowest level of mutant beasts are level one, mostly carnivores. The occasional herbivorous mutant beasts are also strong ones such as bison and apes.

The highest level mutant beasts are two hundreds of meters long pythons, which are the mutant male and female pythons that Wang Jin is familiar with, one level five and one level four powerful mutant beasts.

Below the mutant giant pythons are more than a dozen level three mutant beasts. Each level three mutant beast is tens to hundreds of meters tall. Although it is not as tall as the mutant giant python, it is also a behemoth and a dominant overlord in the forest.

However, in front of the mutant giant python, these level three mutant beasts lowered their proud heads and bowed to the command of the mutant male python.

The largest number is the level two and level one mutant beasts, with about four to five hundred level two mutant beasts, and the level one mutant beasts reach more than 100,000, which are the backbone of the beast group.

The beasts' opponents were the human troops led by Jiang Zhengqing. In the cave, Jiang Zhengqing led hundreds of mutants, cooperated with 5,000 soldiers, more than 20 small artillery pieces, more than 50 armored vehicles and tanks, and built a position defense line. If they wanted to enter the cave, they could only break through this defense line.

For some reason, most of the hundreds of thousands of beasts stayed where they were. Only 30,000 beasts, led by three level 3 mutant beasts, charged towards the human position.

The mutant beasts were large in size, and ordinary level 1 mutant beasts were much larger than humans. When 30,000 beasts attacked, they were not weaker than mechanized armies of the same size.

The endless beasts roared, braving the baptism of artillery fire. Every step had mutant beasts being blown up with blood and flesh flying. The bullets were quickly lined up, forming a torrential rain of bullets to shoot at the mutant beasts in front.

Outside the defense line, there are three wide trenches, each of which is more than ten meters wide and more than ten meters deep. There are many sharpened logs standing under the trenches. Most of the mutant beasts that fall into them are pierced through the body and howl to death under the acceleration of weight and gravity. Only a few are lucky enough to crawl out again.

Behind these three trenches, there are more than five million termites and more than 2,000 soldier ants that are five or six meters in size, wearing thick armor and have two-meter-long jaws.

The soldier ants have the strength of a first-level mutant beast. They are mixed with ordinary termites to form the second line of defense to resist the attack of mutant beasts.

Many mutant beasts passed through the trenches and stepped into the ant colony covering hundreds of meters in radius. They were covered with dense termites and bitten crazily. In addition, the attack of the soldier ants gnawed the mutant beasts into a pile of bones.

Only a few powerful second-level mutant beasts can break through the ant colony and rush to the human position of the third line of defense behind. Most mutant beasts are entangled in front of the ant colony, or even shrink back, afraid of being gnawed into bones by the ant colony.

It is precisely because of the three trenches and the ant colony that Jiang Zhengqing and his team can persist until now.

However, now, these three trenches are almost filled with mutant corpses, and the ant colony is also trampled to death by more and more mutant beasts, with nearly half of them dead or injured.

The underground base still cannot resist the attack of mutant beasts. Many mutant beasts rushed into the position, tore the soldiers to pieces with their claws, crushed them with their iron hooves, and swallowed them with their bloody mouths. The humans who were close to the mutant beasts were a group of lambs to be slaughtered in front of the mutant beasts.

If it were not for hundreds of mutants resisting and clearing these mutant beasts that rushed into the position, I am afraid that Jiang Zhengqing and his team’s position would have been broken through and collapsed long ago.

Even so, this human position was still shaky. The beasts just didn't use their full strength, otherwise the thousands of flying mutant beasts in the sky would have been able to destroy Jiang Zhengqing's position with a dive.

"Leader, more than half of the second battalion's third company were killed, and the defense line is in danger. Request for support from the reserve team."

A messenger with dark red clothes, stained with blood that was not sure whether it was human or mutant, with mud in his hair and a blackened face, hurried over and said what he received on the intercom.

Jiang Zhengqing, who was standing at the innermost position and at the entrance of the cave, frowned even more when he heard this: "The reserve team has been sent out, and there are no reinforcements. Let the third company hold on. As long as there is a soldier, we can't let the mutant beasts break through the defense line."

The messenger was stunned, his face turned pale, saluted and hurried back, picked up the walkie-talkie to convey the order, but his voice was a little trembling. Family members know their own business, and it is difficult for them to resist the next mutant beast charge.

It sounds good to say that they will hit every soldier, but the soldiers in their underground base do not have this quality. Now the third company is close to collapse. After learning that there is no reinforcement, it is likely that it will not take long for the third company's position to be lost.

As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dam collapses at the ant hole. The loss of one line of defense often causes a chain reaction, which hits the emotions of the remaining soldiers and causes the entire front to collapse in chaos.

Although the messenger guessed the ending when he saw the mutant python, he was still terrified when he really waited for this scene.

Perhaps because he didn't want to drag it on, the mutant male python let out a roar that resounded through the battlefield, and raised his head high. The 100,000 beasts in the back moved, forming an endless beast tide, and made a final sprint towards Jiang Zhengqing's position.

All the soldiers on the battlefield changed their faces. Some of them trembled with their hands and dropped their weapons to the ground. Some of them became weak and knelt on the ground like noodles, waiting for death to come.

Many people were unwilling to die and turned around and ran back, trying to drill into the cave, hoping that the beasts would not find them and seek a chance to survive.

The same was true for the mutants. The four mutants were originally fighting with three level three mutant beasts, and now they began to fight and retreat, otherwise they would be swept into the surging beast tide and be eaten to pieces.

"Ah!" Jiang Zhengqing sighed, with a hint of loneliness in his voice, and then smiled again: "Fortunately, Shishi is not here. I hope she can live a good life in the future."

"Dad!" Jiang Zhengqing was sighing to himself, closing his eyes and waiting for the beasts to rush over, welcoming the last moment of his life, when a faint shout suddenly came from the sky.

"Even hallucinations!" Jiang Zhengqing laughed at himself, but felt that something was wrong, because the hallucinations not only did not disappear, but became clearer and clearer.

"Could it be!" Jiang Zhengqing had a thought in his mind, and suddenly the sky darkened, and a familiar strange cry came.

Looking up, Jiang Zhengqing was stunned. At the end of his sight, a large dark cloud emerged from the clouds and soared above the battlefield.
