Embers Ad Infinitum

Long Yuehong changed positions from time to time, shooting from above, left, and right of the sandbag, not giving the mountain monsters a chance to get closer.

The two sides hid behind their respective bunkers and fought back and forth.

Bai Chen and Han Wanghuo also joined the group, but they did not put all their thoughts on it. One took advantage of the gap and quietly took off a grenade, looking for a suitable angle, and the other observed the few According to the movement pattern of the mountain monster, he slowly adjusted the position of his gun, hoping to seize the opportunity and kill the opponent with one shot when he wanted to shoot.

At this moment, a cannonball fell out of the window and landed on the top of the collapsed building.

Boom!

The violent shock wave mixed with red flames poured into the room without window frames and glass, forcing Bai Chen, Han Wanghuo and Long Yuehong to retract their fortifications and lie down.

After the explosion subsided, the remaining mountain monsters, led by the leader, rushed out of the bunker and ran towards Han Wanghuo and others.

As soon as Long Yuehong looked up from behind the sandbag, she saw a mountain monster no shorter than herself rushing over. The assault rifle in his hand roared out without hesitation of bullets.

He drew back reflexively, hearing the bullets hitting the sandbags and hearing them fly overhead.

Long Yuehong knew that hiding like this was not an option, so she mustered up her courage, jumped out from the side of the fortification, and fired back with her "Berserker" assault rifle.

The sound of clicking echoed in the room. One of the two rolled on the spot, and the other ran forward wildly, but neither of them could hit the other.

Almost at the same time, their bullets were empty.

Long Yuehong did not hesitate, gave up the assault rifle, and reached for the armed belt around her waist with both hands. Seeing this, the mountain monster directly threw the assault rifle in his hand and hit Long Yuehong's head.

Long Yuehong hurriedly dodged and stood up at the sound of the gun landing.

However, the mountain monster had already rushed in front of him and pulled out a saber.

Only then did Long Yuehong really see the enemy clearly:

He is taller and stronger than most of the mountain monsters in the previous charge team. Except that his skin color is a bit bluish and there are fangs in his half-open mouth, he is no different from a normal human being. He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face with thick lips. .

Long Yuehong had no time to draw her gun and turned her body to the right to avoid the opponent's saber.

He kept dodging, and was in danger under the relentless attack of the mountain monster.

Fortunately, this is the role he plays most often during combat training, so he is quite proficient and always has near misses.

Gradually, Long Yuehong was forced behind the pile of sandbags.

Suddenly, he stepped on a piece of concrete that flew from nowhere and lost his balance.

When the mountain monster saw this, he smiled.

This is exactly what he expected.

He kept pushing Long Yuehong towards the rubble on the ground, and then relied on his outstanding balance ability to climb the cliff as if walking on flat ground, waiting for the other party to fall down.

Now that the opportunity had appeared, of course he would not let it go. He rushed forward and waved the saber in his hand.

At this time, Long Yuehong exerted force on her waist, causing her fall to slow down.

Then, he tightened his right thigh and pulled it up.

Snapped!

His right leg kicked the mountain monster squarely in the abdomen, causing him to bend his back uncontrollably.

Seizing the opportunity, Long Yuehong used the power of the rebound to roll on the spot and stand up again.

In the process, he also pulled out the "Ice Moss" pistol.

boom! boom!

He pulled the trigger continuously, causing blood flowers to bloom from the mountain monster.

Seeing that the enemy was seriously injured and lying on the ground with no weapons around him, Long Yuehong turned his attention to Bai Chen and tried to provide support.

At this time, Bai Chen just walked around behind another mountain monster and kicked it upward with his crotch foot.

puff!

The mountain monster showed an expression of extreme pain, and its whole body shrank involuntarily.

Bai Chen took advantage of the situation to draw his gun and hit the head with one blow.

When red and white were scattered everywhere, Han Wanghuo also defeated his enemy.

He used his left arm as a bait to forcefully bear the knife blow, then seized the opportunity, locked the opponent and kicked him out.

The mountain monster staggered forward, and Han Wanghuo pulled out the "United 202" from his waist and gave him the final blow.

Bai Chen glanced at Long Yuehong and saw that he was fine. He quickly rushed to the first fortification and picked up the "Reaper" individual rocket launcher left by Jiang Baimian.

She carried the rocket launcher and squatted down, looking at the mountain monsters and murlocs who were still charging outside, and calmly fired the shells.

Boom!

A fireball bloomed in the group of sub-humans, devouring many lives and curbing the momentum of the enemies charging here.

This was like a signal flare, and members of the Redstone Town Guard counterattacked at different places along the defense line.

Not long after, Hongshiji's artillery also made its own sound.

Boom! Boom!

Amidst the fierce gunfire, the charge of the mountain monsters and murlocs was interrupted.

Not long after, the whistle sounded, and they dropped the bodies one by one and retreated to their original positions.

…………

Phew... The body of an awakened person of this level has not changed much yet... Well, you can't think like that, otherwise Shang Jianyao will be unlucky to say this again... Jiang Baimian saw Shang Jianyao's success. After knocking out the tall fishman wearing a laurel wreath of tree branches, he let out an undisguised sigh of relief.

She quickly ran over there, preparing to do the final touches.

At this moment, the skin of the tall fish lying on the ground suddenly began to move strangely.

It's like there are countless giant parasites crawling around there, and it looks extremely scary.

The next second, an indescribable aura spread out, causing the moonlight in this area to dim instantly.

A whirlpool and a black hole seemed to have appeared in the body of the tall fishman wearing a laurel crown of branches, which was about to swallow up all the surrounding matter and give birth to a creature that should not have been born in the world.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian felt like his breathing had stopped and his heart stopped beating.

Although this is not as good as the gaze from "behind the door" when Bishop Renato suffered from "unintentional illness", it is still very scary.

At this time, Shang Jianyao held his breath, pulled out his two guns, and pulled the trigger at the mutated tall murloc as if he was not affected.

boom! boom! boom!

He could hit every shot, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier on the surface of the fish body wearing a branch laurel crown, making the bullets stop there and difficult to penetrate.

Shang Jianyao was unmoved and continued to shoot with the accompaniment of the overture of the knife club.

boom! boom! boom!

Infected by this stubborn emotion and firm attitude, Jiang Baimian also stepped forward and aimed the "United 202" in his hand at the tall fish man on the ground.

The two started shooting wildly without any hesitation.

Finally, the invisible barrier was broken, and bloody holes appeared on the body of the fish-man wearing the laurel crown of branches.

He twisted a few times and completely lost his life.

The mutation in his body immediately stopped and seemed to never appear.

…………

After repelling the attack of the fishmen and mountain monsters with difficulty, Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief and said to Bai Chen and Han Wanghuo:

"I'm going to check if anyone is alive."

To avoid being attacked at critical moments.

Of course, the targets of his inspection also included those members of the town guard to see who could still rescue them.

After some inspection, he found that the mountain monster he had been shot twice was still alive.

Seeing Long Yuehong, who was wearing a fat pig mask, walking towards him, the mountain monster who was already in a dying state breathed out and said:

"You are strong."

He used the mountain monster language, but it seemed to be derived from the Hui Tu language, closer to a dialect form, and Long Yuehong could barely understand it.

Long Yuehong was happy and a little embarrassed when she heard her enemy praising her.

He squatted down and said honestly:

"I'm the weakest in our group."

The dying mountain monster was stunned for a moment:

"You are not from Hongshiji?"

"We are mercenaries." Seeing that the other party was about to die, Long Yuehong replied kindly.

"They are so lucky to have hired such a strong team like you." The dying mountain monster gasped.

Seeing the other party's dying appearance, Long Yuehong couldn't help but ask:

"Why do you have to capture the Red Stone Collection? Do you have to make enemies of the townspeople here?

"I heard that there are farmlands and coal mines in the mountains. There is no need for you to dig them out."

The dying mountain monster was silent for a moment and panted:

“This is an obsession passed down by us mountain people from previous generations.

"My great-grandfather and great-grandmother, my grandfather and grandmother, all told me repeatedly that this fertile lakeside, this old world city, is our hometown.

"They said, they said, in a certain yard by the lake, there is a garden, a swing, a small vegetable patch, a gentle wind, clean water, and white pigeons from the city.

"One of the rooms in the yard is specially prepared for children. There are building blocks, puzzles, toys, comics, and books..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually fell into silence.

…………

"What happened just now?" Jiang Baimian whispered without asking for an answer.

Shang Jianyao squatted down to search the body and replied seriously:

"evil Dead."

"...Learned it from a radio show?" Jiang Baimian asked with the muscles on his face twitching slightly.

"Yes." Shang Jianyao was very calm.

Jiang Baimian took a breath and said:

"Is it a common mutation among awakened people of this level after their death, or is he an awakened person who is not normal?"

Shang Jianyao said sincerely:

"You have to ask him."

"Do you think he will answer?" Jiang Baimian said angrily.

She added as if talking to herself:

"You can ask Warning Song later for advice."

At this time, Shang Jianyao found a neatly folded map from the pocket of the tall fishman's tattered dark blue cloak.

This map is very old, and it looks like it comes from the old world.

Shang Jianyao quickly unfolded it and found that it was exactly the same as the map given by the alerter Song He.

They are all city tourist maps from the past.

This map doesn't have so many additional markings, it just draws a red circle somewhere in the city.

There is a Honghe word written outside the red circle:

"Home".
