Chapter 495: Chapter 44: Continuing to Downsize

The General holding the small town was too conceited, believing the establishment of vibration detectors and explosion devices underground surrounded by reinforced concrete would prevent Beastman’s burrowing beast assault. However, this method was already outdated; the Beastmen had already found a way to deal with it. Therefore, they unknowingly carried out the frog jumping tactics, and a group of assaulting soldiers led by the mad female orc and the guard team appeared on the supply road between the base and the small town.

The Beastmen were all impulsive. They never thought about trapping the enemy and exhausting their supplies before slaughtering them. The war had been going on for decades, Her Majesty the Queen and highest military commander, General Lamb, had already become impatient to eradicate humans. They wanted to become the only rulers of this planet.

"Too many soldiers dying? It’s okay, it can solve the increasing problem of population and food pressure." In a temporary command center fifty miles away from the small town, General Lamb observed the latest war situation through a telescope. He didn’t care about the worries of the staff department at all.

"It is an honor for soldiers to fight and die for their country and people." General Lamb put down the telescope, tightened the wind discipline button of his coat, and headed toward the command vehicle. The two teams of guards hurried to follow him. They genuinely respected this god of war of the Beastmen.

After the fleet had advanced a distance in sparse woods, it slowed down. They planned to bypass the frontline Beastmen and find a safe escape route, while the accompanying infantry staggered and sat down, seizing the time to rest.

"Let’s eat something first." Tang Zheng took out the chocolate and distributed it to everyone. Because he had killed discipline committee members, there were now no restrictions on his use of supplies, although the Hellfire could still only be used for two minutes.

"I wonder how that mother and daughter are doing." Tang Zheng estimated Tais’ departure time and sighed helplessly, having little hope for their survival.

The atmosphere in the vehicle was exceptionally oppressive. Li Muqing was holding one of Tang Zheng’s arms and ignored the angry eyes of Pang Meiqin in the rearview mirror. She was terrified and secretly glad that if she hadn’t clung to Tang Zheng, she would be finished.

"You’re really lucky. You’re the only newbie left from this batch." Pang Meiqin sneered, provoking Li Muqing. She felt that her possessions were being occupied by another woman, which made her gloomy.

Li Muqing ignored her and wanted to talk to Tang Zheng, but he cut her off.

"The Thunderstorm rifle is yours. You should familiarize yourself with it." Tang Zheng pried open her hand. As the fleet started up again, he stood up and operated the vehicle-mounted machine gun.

Tang Zheng’s caution paid off when he saw bullets flying across the black night with red-orange tails. He rotated the muzzle for the first time and fired at the location of the incoming fire. The accompanying soldiers franticly looked for cover.

No one blamed Tang Zheng for friendly fire. A tank even pivoted its turret and fired directly, Boom, a ball of flame rose up six hundred meters away.

The gunfire immediately intensified. The fleet, like a frightened rabbit, didn’t dare to break through and started to retreat while fighting along another road.

The Beastmen were utterly relentless, they would never let any prey escape. However, it was unfortunate that no one listened when Tang Zheng shouted for an attack and breakthrough.

The fleet wanted to change direction but the soldiers were not very skilled. Coupled with the darkness of the night and the proximity of the enemy, they immediately fell into chaos, and two Hummers even collided.

"Don’t bother with them anymore, leave this place, escape to the northeast." Tang Zheng had decidedly abandoned the fleet, preparing to use them as bait when he heard the familiar sound of the Beastman’s motorcycle.

The Beastmen acted very quickly. They braved the gunfire and rushed up in only two minutes. The grenadiers were still as arrogant as ever, throwing hand grenades as dense as a heavy rain, instantly drowning the fleet.

Some clever soldiers followed behind Tang Zheng’s vehicle, but unfortunately, their legs could not outrun the Hummer. Hearing the Beastmen quickly catching up, they panicked, ready to kill these civilians and seize their vehicle.

"Be careful." Liu Yue, who had been watching them, still shouted too late. About a dozen soldiers who had colluded together suddenly opened fire, shooting towards the two Hummers.

Tang Zheng was also watching those soldiers, but visibility was very low in the black night, and their formation was sparse, he couldn’t cover them all. Although he countered at the first moment, his Hummer was still shot over a dozen times.

Bullets hit the vehicle, ringing out, and Tang Zheng was also shot. After all, there were old soldiers in the enemy ranks who were good shots.

The large-caliber vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun spewed a tongue of flame. As Tang Zheng swiveled the gun, it instantly tore several soldiers’ bodies apart, breaking a tree with the thickness of a bowl into several sections.

Tang Zheng couldn’t hide, or else they would be suppressed by the enemy’s firepower, causing more casualties. He was now sweating profusely, his entire back drenched. Just now, three bullets hit his scapula and the area around his throat. If they were slightly higher, he would’ve been ready to meet his maker.

When Tang Zheng had suppressed the enemy, Lu Fan opened the glass two fingers wide and immediately counterattacked. Regardless of the enemy’s intention to attack, the priority is to kill them off first. The heavy machine gun on the other Hummer didn’t sound, indicating it must’ve been taken out.

Magnetic Storm Balls were also powerful weapons. When they hit the human body, they would cause them to explode like inflated balloons. Soldiers fleeing around the Hummer were bombed, cursing while frantically escaping. At this moment, the mothers of Lu Fan and others were ’greeted’ hundreds of times.
