YM778.TV Chapter 447: Eagle
Ding Yi had noticed that a metallic barrel had been stretched out from the small bunker on the minibus\' roof. He had also heard a subtle sound, which came from removing a gun\'s safety, through his sharp hearing.
\'A sniper rifle?\' Ding Yi was an expert on guns, and he needed only but one glance to recognize that the metallic barrel was a part of the famous AMR-2 sniper rifle.
Being aimed at by a sniper rifle was a horrifying experience. He could feel a layer of goose bumps covering all his body, and that if he were to get a step closer, the sniper would blow off his head at any time.
Eagle Guard\'s members were all well-trained soldiers, so the moment they saw the sniper rifle, they immediately touched their guns. However, as they were about to pull them out, the sniper rifle was moved a few times. In a flash, it had aimed at everyone once! They could all sense the Grim Reaper\'s scythe hanging above their heads!
"Do not move!" Ding Yi ordered.
In Ding Yi\'s mind, the sniper in the minibus was abnormal. That did not mean that Ding Yi was afraid to fight, but Li Yuxin was still on the minibus.
"Miss Li Yuxin, I\'m Ding Yi, the Captain of the Eagle Guard\'s third squad. We came here under Commander Peng\'s orders to protect you! Please come to our car!" As soon as his voice fell, teams from other organizations around him suddenly blew up. They felt envious and jealous.
"Captain Ding, Li Yuxin is our teammate, and she is willing to stay in our minibus. If you are worried about her safety, then you don\'t need to. If you really want to follow your orders, please stay behind us," Jiang Liushi said in a low voice, but his every word could be heard by those soldiers. Jiang Liushi did that to make those people aware that they did not belong to them.
Ding Yi\'s facial expression suddenly changed when he heard that. He guessed that the person who had spoken was Jiang Liushi. Before they came, Zhang Gaohe had already informed them that Jiang Liushi was a bad-mannered rash fellow. He hadn\'t expected that it was true.
"Miss Li Yuxin, what\'s your opinion?" Ding Yi asked again. He did not want to talk with Jiang Liushi anymore.
After a long while, a warm and melodious female voice came out of the minibus, "I\'ll stay in the minibus, as Brother Jiang has already told you."
Ding Yi turned silent momentarily and then shouted to his members, "Get on our car, and follow behind this… minibus!" In any case, he had to complete the mission Peng Dinglong had given him.
...
Around Xiayuan\'s safe zone, large areas had been cleaned up. The only direction that hadn\'t been cleaned was the northwest direction, where the beast nest was located.
On the thick snow-covered earth, densely-packed convoys roared past and crushed the dark road\'s surface, exposing old roads with sculpting surface. The rumbling of gunfire sounded incessantly. On both sides of the road, blood and minced meat could be seen hanging from guardrails everywhere.
Some mutant beasts were completely vulnerable in front of the huge fleet. More than a dozen armed helicopters were roaring in the sky and patrolling around. On both sides of the armed truck was a heavy tank.
Jiang Liushi was sitting in his gunner room, holding the AMR-2 sniper rifle in his hand, and carefully observed the nearby terrain. They had followed the military and entered the area. In the large ice-covered subterranean earth, a layer of a light-red film could vaguely be seen. It was just like moss, but it was more viscous than moss, and it seemed as if blood was flowing inside. It looked like bloody veins. Seeing that kind of thing, Shi Ying Squad\'s members felt their throats were tight and covered with something.
\'...detected unknown energy fluctuations!\' In Jiang Liushi\'s mind, Starseed\'s notifications sounded all the time. Ever since his minibus had come in contact with the snow-covered ground with the light-red film coating, Starseed had started notifying him endlessly.
\'This light-red film coating is a kind of \'blood lichen\' that extends from that Beast Nest. It seems to be a kind of mutant plant... Its structure is a combination of plant and animal genes…\' Jiang Liushi thought about the contents of the booklet, which had information about some of the new species that had appeared after doomsday.
In the section about the Beast Nest, it introduced a bizarre plant called blood lichen. This blood lichen could produce subtle mutations in energy through photosynthesis. And most probably, the mutated energy seemed to be transferred to the most mysterious Mother Beast. It was easy to destroy the blood lichen, but its vitality was tenacious. As long as a part of blood lichen survived, it would grow to the extent of 100 square meters in one day, and all the surrounding energy would be plundered by it.
All they could see was a desolate and empty scene. The cabbit 1 -like Luoluo had also become quiet after entering the blood-lichen-infested area. It was currently sitting beside Ran Xiyu and trying hard to reduce all sense of existence. After adopting the little beast, it had shown signs of becoming more and more obedient, but its voracious appetite was still the same. On this point, Jiang Liushi had summed up it had a high IQ
"We have entered the Song City Site, the core area of the beast nest... the scouts have made their move... the air force will cooperate to carry out the first carpet airdrop..."
"...Special Forces attacked the core area and now are waiting for the artillery regiment\'s first shelling before attacking..."
"... The Xiawu Military Base Force rushed into the direction of the right side wing of the core area…"
...
Before doomsday, Song City was a large city near Xiayuan. It had a population of over five million and it was very prosperous. But after doomsday, the city was completely occupied by zombies and mutant beasts. The plants grew wildly, so it had become a ruined forest-like city.
The government of Xiayuan had once attempted to create a security zone there, but that plan had failed as that place was near the beast nest. And not long after, the mutant beasts had launched the first attack on Xiayuan Security Island. Since then it had become a restricted area.
The barracks\' broadcasting system sounded loud, and all orders were sent to every car. Jiang Liushi\'s team, which belonged to \'Free Alliance Fighters,\' received their orders and then headed southwest. The so-called \'Free Alliance Fighters\' were composed of the 5th Channel\'s survivors and other major factions.
In the eyes of the military, the 5th Channel just had ordinary members. As a result, it would be best for them to provide assistance. Therefore, Jiang Liushi\'s task was to clear the southwest direction, which was initially called Yang Chang County, and it was a large area where the beast nest extended.
\'Boom! Boom!\'
After arriving in Yang Chang County, Jiang Liushi heard the sound of heavy guns coming from the front. The sound came from all directions. Through the windows, Jiang Liushi vaguely saw several figures of mutant beasts in the surrounding forest. Some organizations had spontaneously jumped in and started fierce battles with those mutant beasts.
"Brother Jiang, President Hou wants to discuss some things with you," Qi Liang shouted outside suddenly.
Jiang Liushi thought about for a moment and then took Zhang Hai to meet President Hou. All the heavy trucks had formed a circle, and several paranormals on top of the heavy trucks were holding rifles aimed at their surrounding environment. There was only one passage left for people to access.
Hou Dingkun and the other captains of the Doom Walker were inside. As Jiang Liushi walked in, he saw two burly men coming from behind him. They were Ding Yi and that deputy captain. Seeing Jiang Liushi, Ding Yi stared at him with his cold eyes. He knew it was that man who had aimed at them earlier.
However, Jiang Liushi didn\'t care about him at all. He was attracted by the things Hou Dingkun was holding in his hands. It was a map of Yang Chang County, which showed the surrounding terrain before doomsday. Although it was old, it was very detailed. Such a map was naturally precious in battle.
"Captain Ding and Captain Jiang, you have come just at the right time. This mission needs your strength! I prepared a map of Yang Chang County. I already know the specific location of the beast nest. I would like to concentrate the power of all people, and completely eradicate the part that extends from the east side of the beast nest!" Hou Dingkun looked a bit nervous, and he kept staring at Ding Yi\'s face. Eagle Guard and Shi Ying Squad were undoubtedly the two most powerful teams.
"Why do you want to clear that extended part of the beast nest? You could kill the mutant beasts, and collect some blood lichen, and search for resources. Those should be enough! Our task is to protect Miss Li Yuxin. I don\'t want you to have too many plans," Ding Yi said coldly. He did not care about Doom Walker\'s plans at all. His only task was to bring Li Yuxin back safely. He didn\'t care about anything else.
