Chapter 2896 Blood Spilled on the High Wall
Although there were still many corpses left under the city, the gunworms began to retreat at this time, neatly retreating from the wall like an ebbing tide.
Some people were cheering, but Hayes knew that the matter was not over yet. Something in the yellow poisonous mist rushed towards the stronghold quickly. It was a group of mutant knife bugs with relatively thick armor protection. Under the cover of the gun bug, he ran straight to the city, stepped on the pile of corpses, and then the short insect-winged knife bug jumped suddenly with its flea-like hind legs and spread out behind it, and almost flew up the wall.
"Springtails! It's Springtails!"
Someone screamed immediately. This new type of Tyranids only started to appear a few days ago. It will bring death almost every time, and it is also a soldier. Their most annoying opponent is second only to the Flying Tearer.
On the contrary, those large units will have dedicated personnel and firepower to deal with them, so they don't have to worry.
Only this kind of springtail can not only jump directly to the parapet, but also has thick armor and cannot be killed by one or two shots from a laser gun. However, their close combat is extremely deadly.
It can be said that the thousands of casualties these days are basically caused by them. It is for these reasons that they had to abandon the first protective wall and move to the higher second protective wall. wall, and blow up the previous position to prevent it from becoming a bunker for enemy attacks.
"Everyone! Prepare for close combat!"
A few jumped up to Hayes' position, and one of them stared at him with two deadly daggers. Like claws stretched out.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and directly raised the chain sword and slashed at it. The saw teeth made a sharp noise when cutting through the chitin shell. Then Little Phaidon's shot hit the guy's eye. When it roared in pain, Hayes stepped forward, raised the chain saw and smashed it down hard, hitting the alien's head in the middle of the flying carapace fragments and flesh and blood, sinking deeply into it. Then he swung his arm hard and threw the thing off the wall.
Another Zergling jumped at him, and Hayes fired twice at it, halting the creature's jump, then rushed over and sliced his chainsword into its carapace.
The thick alien blood spattered on Hayes' helmet visor. Its disgusting smell made Hayes almost retching, but then something hit his back hard and pushed him down.
“Company Commander!”
“Uncle!”
It was another springtail that jumped up from under the wall. Hayes could feel its hot breath on his neck, but before it could bite hard, Tiffany rushed over in time and kicked him. On the back of the worm, when the opponent was kicked over, he stabbed the springtail's head with his bayonet. Hayes immediately got up and split the belly of the springtail with his sword, letting the filthy internal organs flow all over the floor.
“Ahhhhh!”
Hayes suddenly heard a scream and turned around to see Moya being thrown to the ground. This was a nineteen-year-old boy. His brigade is less than four miles away from Hayes's brigade. His parents have four children. He is the second child, but now the boy may never go back because half of his face was killed by a vicious The claws were scratched, and the insect lay on his body and gnawed crazily.
“Fuck you!”
The enraged Hayes stabbed the chain sword into its soft belly, then kicked it away, and then went over and gave it two hard chops.
"It's okay! Moya! It's okay -"
As a military doctor, Little Feiton hurriedly opened the medical bag, but such a wound was beyond his range, and the opponent's blood spurted everywhere on him, and He was still trembling as he tried to put the hemostatic gel on the huge wound on the opponent's face, but the opponent's entire skull was pried open, and his beating brain could even be seen.
Moya, who was missing half of his face, was crying dying, and then there was no movement after more than ten seconds.
"He's dead, go save the others!" Hayes kicked the slightly dazed little Feiton, and then swung a serrated claw towards his stomach, but Hayes successfully used The chainsword sliced off the claws, and the laser pistol shot it in one of the eyes.
At this time, the battle on the parapet has become intense, and the soldiers have become accustomed to how to deal with it. They gather into fighting groups in squad units, and use heavy weapons such as shotguns and flamethrowers while keeping a distance from each other. The Zerglings attack while the others cover the heavy weapons hand.
Hayes kicked his opponent off the wall. He gasped hard, but the surroundings were filled with alien roars, hot air, waving claws and fangs, and a lot of blood, dirt and internal organs. Sticky to the walkway.
In just ten minutes, his arms felt like they were filled with lead, and his brain could not process the information. He could only fight on instinct. If it weren't for the mechanical prosthetics, he might not be able to swing the chain sword.
If it goes by the usual situation, this kind of impact will only last for about ten minutes, and the Tyranids will recede, but something seems different today.
Even between battles, Hayes saw new troops climbing up the stairs at the back, including Pashtiban elites wearing segmented heavy armor.
Soon, the sound of artillery from behind also became intense, and the density of firepower increased. The blast of gunfire temporarily blew away the poisonous smoke, allowing Hayes to see the real scene.
Countless gun bugs and knife bugs are charging. Behind them are samurai bugs. Their four upper limbs are covered with various deadly melee weapons. They are also crawling forward, with purple bone joints and several The chitinous shells are dotted with dirty scars, and behind them are towering executioners that appear to have evolved to crawl up steep mountains on all fours, with rows of chitinous spikes firing on their backs. Punctured holes.
Further back, there seems to be an even more terrifying huge outline.
Hayes's eyes widened, and then he heard the roar in the sky, which was the sound of the Storm Claw formation passing by.
“This time the general attack is a general attack!”
Accompanied by Hayes' muttering, countless rockets and bombs erupted in the path of the Tyranids' charge, but they barely stopped the opponent at all.
When the explosion firelight reflected on their eyes, it seemed as if countless shining balls of light were reflected back. Those eyes seemed to be dead objects, with no emotions, nothing, not even hunger. These eyes were devouring The entire planet's alien race doesn't even have that in their eyes.
Hayes realized for the first time that they might not have anything called consciousness.
They are weapons, living weapons.
“What is that!”
Suddenly, Little Feiton's voice woke him up. Hayes turned around and saw huge aircraft landing in the stronghold.
"Ghost Valkyrie"
This transport aircraft named Ghost is a super large variant of the Valkyrie. It is used to transport vehicles and light artillery. It has 4 engines, one of which can accommodate Cargo holds for large amounts of equipment and personnel.
Hayes' eyes flashed and he realized what happened.
“Probably we have to retreat.”
