Chapter 249

In the second basement base and C1 area of the warehouse area, gunfire and fire continued to appear.

In an abandoned warehouse, several containers were pushed to the gate as temporary obstacles. Relying on this simple but effective fortification, longken and others stretched out the barrel of the gun through the window of the warehouse to greet the corpses rushing towards the warehouse.

In the dense gunfire, bullets pouring from the warehouse formed a metal torrent, impacting the cluster of corpses rushing towards the warehouse. After such a battle lasted half an hour, the last corpse fell under the impact of bullets.

"Shit!" Rankine cursed fiercely, ignoring any image, and sat down on the ground under the window.

After continuous high-density fighting, Langken's face is no longer ruddy, but shrouded in a morbid pallor. Not only him, but also the other soldiers suffered from physical exertion, and even their moving fingers trembled.

But they are all soldiers who have undergone strict training. After repelling this wave of corpses, everyone silently took out marching nutrients from their own carrying equipment. This special nutrient only available to the army contains several times more nutrients than ordinary goods. At the same time, it smells much worse. If ordinary nutrients taste like chewing wax, the taste of marching nutrients is no different from that of sickle worm feces.

But neither Rankine nor other soldiers swallowed a tube of nutrients without frowning, because they knew that although nutrients were bad, as long as they ate them, they could have hope of living!

Nutrients, in addition to various nutrients, there is a small amount of water, which alleviates people's throats as if they were roasted by fire. After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, Rankine got up holding the wall, went to the guerrilla MEG and sat down. He asked, "man, how are you?"

"I can't die." MEG smiled weakly and tied a cloth strip to his thigh. The cloth was stained with blood halo. If you untie the cloth, you will find a hole the size of a bosom in Meg's leg.

It was caused by the impact of armor piercing bullet. Langken looked at the wound on his leg and said, "shit, who wants to drag me back."

"Who else, if not zero, is Anthony and them," McGonagall said with a deep breath.

"It must be Anthony!" Rankine slapped on his lap. "Zero, they walked in front of us. There's no reason to go around and get through with us. So it can only be Anthony, this despicable guy!"

"Captain, will we consider giving up the examination?" McGonagall whispered.

Although his voice was quiet, he attracted the attention of other soldiers, and his faces looked at Rankine. On these faces, Rankine saw the fear of death and the confusion about the future. They have not even passed the second floor base, but they have lost nearly half their manpower and are almost out of ammunition. Go on, God knows if anyone can survive.

"But if we give up, we'll have to live a lifetime in the name of cowards!" longken said in a deep voice.

"We also know that, but Captain, sometimes choosing to give up is also a kind of courage?" McGonagall stressed.

Langken was speechless and finally said, "vote. If everyone chooses to go home, I have nothing to say."

The result of the vote was obvious. Except for Rankine, the others said they wanted to give up the examination. But the final decision had to be made by Rankine, so everyone looked at Rankine. Longken looked at them and finally said heavily, "rest for 10 minutes, and then we'll go home!"

He doesn't want to give up like this. He doesn't want to be sorry to support his uncle, but now Langken can't choose. Even if he had to keep going, the soldiers would follow, but their morale would be low. A team without morale is no different from going to death.

In a low bungalow 450 meters southwest of the abandoned warehouse, the house originally used as an office has been occupied by Anthony and others. They encountered a small episode on the way to follow Rankine. The butcher who had followed Rankine and others turned back halfway and launched a crazy attack on them. This came from the blood breath of higher powers, which attracted the higher level corpse. Finally, Anthony and his party certainly cleaned up the corpse.

Although no one was sacrificed, Luca had more blood marks on his back and Anthony had less flesh under his feet. Now, there is a disinfection cloth tied there, but the blood halo shows that the injury is not light.

Betsy, who was in charge of monitoring Rankine's movement, said at the window: "Captain, the blaster team has left the warehouse."

Anthony, who was sitting on the ground to rest, immediately said, "good, let's follow him..."

"Wait, they seem to be going back the same way."

Betsy's voice interrupted Anthony's words. Anthony stood up, walked to the window and started the helmet's remote observation mode. When the picture continues to expand, Anthony clearly sees that Rankine's team has left the warehouse in a row, but has not continued to move in the direction of the safe passage, but in the direction of the upper exit.

"I'm going to give up, coward!" Anthony whispered, but he couldn't tell whether he was angry because of the cowardice of Rankine's first team or the loss of bait.

Beiqi next to him said: "Captain, there is a situation. 500 meters away from your left, someone is approaching."

Anthony heard the speech and immediately looked in the direction pointed out by Betsy. In nocturnal mode, a skinny man is striding towards Rankine and others. When Anthony's eyes fell on him, the man seemed to feel it and looked in Anthony's direction. But Anthony observed him 500 meters away, and the underground base was dark, and the man didn't get anything.

But Anthony was in a cold sweat. He could feel his sight in the dark. The other party must be a strong man in his line of work. And there was a slightly hostile evil spirit on the man, which showed that the comer was not good.

Anthony gave up his continuous observation of the man for the first time and pulled Betsy away from the window.

"What's the matter, captain?" Luca asked quickly when he found something different.

Anthony whispered, "all quiet, control your heartbeat and body temperature, gentlemen. There's a wonderful guy approaching."

It's not easy for Anthony to give such orders. Other people don't talk nonsense and try their best to control their heartbeat and body temperature, so as not to expose their existence too fast or too high.

However, Rankine's team is not as lucky as Anthony. They left the warehouse with a relieved expression on everyone's face. Although he gave up his assessment, he saved his life. Nothing in this world is better than living.

The whole basement base on the second floor is almost killed by Rankine's team. If you follow the original road and return, you will encounter little resistance. But they didn't know that the biggest obstacle had moved in their direction.

Rankine walked behind the team. He bore greater responsibility than the team members. After all, less than half of the honor and disgrace of the whole family is on him. If he can't join the army, he also loses value to the family. Rankine could already imagine that his uncle who was a Congressman would ignore himself.

Maybe Rankine can keep this team and take over some tasks of asgat military headquarters as the head of mercenaries. Even, they can leave asgat and make a living in other cities on the wilderness. With the strength of rank 5 of Rankine and McGonagall, plus an average of about rank 3 soldiers, and gathering some wilderness mercenaries, they can be competent for most tasks or become a permanent mercenary regiment in a city.

So in a few years, Rankine can set up a family or something.

But all this is not what longken wants. But what could he do? The reality was in front of him and he had to give in.

When Rankine gave a sigh, his heart suddenly moved. At the same time, there was a scream in front of the team. Langken looked up and saw MEG flying into the air. Something caught MEG around his neck and threw him up.

Rankine groaned, pulled out his pistol and hit the thing around McGonagall with a precise shot. But when the bullet hit the object, there was a big spark and a sound of hitting metal. Langken was stunned. When he was so distracted, MEG had been taken to a space of ten meters. Without waiting for other soldiers to rescue, Langken saw several black lines stabbing McGonagall in the night vision mode!

Those things plunged into Meg's legs in an instant, and suddenly there was a sad howl in the dark.

The next moment, the unidentified object left and right in Meg's body tore the guerrilla in two. A flower of flesh and blood bloomed in the air, drenching the broken meat, organs, intestines and blood. The soldiers who stood more clearly were immediately covered with McGonagall's blood and fine pieces of meat.

Everyone stayed, and Rankine was no exception. But he soon regained his consciousness, roared, raised his pistol, crossed the crowd and fired in the direction of the unknown object. Other soldiers also reacted, raised machine guns, pressed the trigger, and vented their anger with dense barrages!

However, in the dark place 200 meters away from the crowd, sparks splashed continuously, and the sound of hitting the metal kept coming. In the crazy shrill roar, the fire suppression of the blaster team was completely blocked. When Rankine and his team opened the magazine, it was so quiet in the dark that people couldn't breathe.

In this maddening silence, suddenly another scream sounded. Langken had no time to warn, and a black line was drawn from a distance. It wrapped around a soldier's neck, and Rankine saw clearly that it was a vine full of thorns. Longken couldn't believe that the vine of this plant blocked all the bullets.

In an instant, the vine retracted and rushed into the darkness with the soldiers. The screams of soldiers immediately sounded in the dark, and then stopped. Then, the sound of water droplets kept ringing. A moment later, the head of the soldier, full of consternation, slowly rolled from the darkness to Rankine's feet!
