Chapter 330: Waiting to die, is it okay to die in a group?
Wow~
The Mengshi 3 armored command vehicle painted in digital jungle camouflage is like a solid iron ingot, welded firmly to the highway. No matter how windy and rainy it is outside, it remains motionless.
Inside the carriage, the yellowish light radiates gently, like an oil lamp lit in the dark night, quiet and gentle.
In such a peaceful atmosphere, everyone in the car had fallen asleep quietly except the battalion clerk on duty.
Heavy rain is really a good lullaby...
In the passenger seat that was folded down like a recliner, Zhu Jun was covered with a thin green blanket, his chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing, with an even rhythm.
On the dark baby face, the brows were slightly wrinkled, and he did not seem to be sleeping soundly. Even his eyes had a slit, as if they were open and closed, making it difficult to tell.
.....
Zizzi~~
"Battalion Command, Battalion Command! This is the armored infantry company, this is the armored infantry company, the service area has been recaptured! The service area has been recaptured!"
In the quiet space, the sudden sound of a report from the intercom startled everyone.
Zhu Jun grabbed the walkie-talkie reflexively and took it off the front windshield.
"The camp command received it, proceed as planned!"
Zhu Jun's tone was filled with fatigue. During a long march, the most tired people are the drivers and the officers in charge.
The other ordinary soldiers were fine, they had nothing to do and could sleep from getting on the bus to getting off...
As the battalion commander, Zhu Jun has a lot to consider!
Various problems encountered along the way would be reported to him, and he had to give a reply within a short time, otherwise the progress of the entire battalion would be delayed.
It was as if all the units and cadres in the entire battalion were taking turns fighting against him alone!
There is a saying that people stop but machines don’t. The current situation is that the entire battalion is stopped but Zhu Jun’s machine doesn’t stop!
He who wears the crown must bear its weight
Leadership power is indeed great, but the pressure and workload are not something that ordinary people can bear!
"Yes!"
As the intercom screen went dark again, Zhu Jun's mind was still a little confused after the noise, but he was no longer sleepy.
He subconsciously looked towards the service area. The heavy rain blurred his vision and he couldn't see anything clearly, but he could see a glimmer of light...
Seeing the light, Zhu Jun felt relieved, and his thoughts went back to the past.
I still remember that year when I graduated from high school and joined the army, I participated in the first military competition. I slept only seven hours in four days and three nights...
I can only say that youth is fierce!
As he gets older, he understands more and more that there is a saying in the army: "One year, one level of difficulty."
I'm only in my early thirties now, and I feel exhausted after such a short time...
Just when Zhu Jun was about to sigh, "Time flies, good years are gone," the intercom, with an unstable signal and a lot of noise, rang again.
zizi~
"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander... Zizizi~~The logistics support company has a situation report!"
The urgent report from the intercom made Zhu Jun's heart skip a beat.
"Speaking!"
"According to the report from our sentry at the rear of the convoy, a large number of field mice were found in the wild!"
"It's suspected to be a mutant vole. It's about the same size as an ordinary cat, or even a little bigger!"
"A rough estimate is that there are probably tens of thousands of them!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jun frowned. As expected, the more you fear something, the more it will happen. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen when he was almost at his destination!
"Pay close attention and don't act rashly!"
"Report any situation immediately and do not act on your own!" Zhu Jun gave the order in a serious tone after a brief thought.
The current mission is to go to the Chongyi gathering place. He really doesn't want to cause any trouble unless it is necessary!
Tens of thousands of mutant voles, it sounds like they're not easy to deal with!
If it were zombies, it would be fine. We wouldn’t know each other until we fought. Everyone knows each other well and has a clear idea of what’s going on!
But facing the sudden appearance of the field mouse, Zhu Jun was a little unsure.
It’s not that we’re afraid of not being able to defeat this thing, but the combined battalion is currently in an awkward period.
The pure highway version of Bandu!
One is the weather. In heavy rain, visibility and the power of equipment will be greatly reduced.
The second is the formation. Now the entire combined battalion is stuck on the long and narrow highway with complex road conditions and cannot move. The entire battalion is like a long snake formation. The combat units are basically concentrated in the front half, making it difficult to take care of the front and rear.
The third is the number and size. These voles are like cats, numerous and small, and definitely quite agile. With limited weapons and equipment available, it is really difficult to deal with them, and casualties can easily occur if you are not careful!
Although casualties were not a big deal for the army, it was embarrassing to report the casualties caused by a group of rats.
It was based on these ideas that Zhu Jun issued the order to exercise restraint....
Of course, mice and humans have nothing to do with each other, just treat it as a beautiful encounter, this is the ideal state...
The mutant rats don't seem to think so...
.......
Wow~~
In the carriage of the SX2306 military transport vehicle at the end of the convoy
Two soldiers wearing jungle digital camouflage raincoats sat on small stools in the carriage, their eyes fixed on the wilderness below the highway, the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the carriage filling their ears.
Through the telescope, even though there was rain and darkness, it did not affect their observation of the spectacular sight of fireflies gathering like an ocean.
Hua Hua Hua~
On the highway, the accumulated water kept flowing into the wild land, and the rain water from the sky was also pouring back.
The water level in the wilderness is rising every minute, and it will soon turn into a vast swamp!
Tens of thousands of voles huddled together like penguins in a snowstorm, standing on slightly higher ground, furry and wet.
As time goes by, the isolated island beneath our feet is being rapidly eroded by the accumulated water, becoming smaller and smaller, forcing the voles on the edge to stand up and expose their heads to breathe!
A strong wind blew, waves rose, and groups of voles were swept into the water. After a series of squeaking sounds, they quickly sank to the bottom and disappeared without a trace!
Zhizhizhizhi~
Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak~
......
The sense of crisis of their shrinking living space made the entire rat colony more and more anxious, and they couldn't help looking towards the highway!
Zhizhizhizhi~
On an isolated island, surrounded by a swarm of rats, a giant rat man the size of a Shiba Inu stood in place, his walnut-sized eyes glowing green, searching continuously as his neck turned.
His long, thick beard kept trembling under the impact of the rain, and he also looked very anxious!
This torrential rain flooded the huge rat holes underground, forcing them to come to the surface!
However, even so, God still did not intend to let them go and wanted to drown them completely in the lake!
After the Rat King's reconnaissance, it found that the only way to survive seemed to be to lead the tribe to escape to the "high ground" in front of it which was of a different color.
But it seems to have been occupied by another group of "creatures"!
The size of any one of these "creatures" is larger than the hundreds or thousands of mice combined, and its eyes are incredibly bright!
You can tell at first glance that he’s not someone you’d want to mess with!
This inevitably makes the rat a little cautious!
But hearing the increasingly frequent screams of his tribesmen, the Rat King knew that he had to make a decision!
If we stay now we will die, if we charge forward we will also die; is it okay to wait to die or die in a group?
Squeak, squeak, squeak~~
Squeak, squeak, squeak~~~
A shrill and tragic cry came from the Rat King's mouth!
The group of rats, which were at a loss and disoriented the previous second, became quiet for a second, and then turned around and headed towards the highway!
...
"Fuck!!!"
"Report it quickly!!!"
There will be two more chapters. I am currently working on improving the quality and adjusting the pace...
After reading the first two hundred chapters and looking at the recent period, I feel that the writing style has declined significantly..
There is also the issue of the main plot. After reflection, I realized that I did not grasp the rhythm well. As a new author, I am still lacking in the grasp of rhythm, and I have to admit that.
Finally, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family reunion!
I'll give everyone a gift as a reward! QAQ
Thank you!
