Chapter 753 (1/2)

The beach is full of the roar of rockets, and the roar of soldiers. Crabs are everywhere in the mud, and they are curled up in brown coal balls on the beach. However, the alien nature does not know what fear is. The death of their companions not only does not make them retreat, but also arouses their ferocity.

Several times, mud crabs move through NAC's defense lines. Soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons have to fight against the alien steel torrents with their flesh and blood. They wait for fireball 1 to cover the battlefield and kill the mud crabs that break through the defense line, and then put on wooden piles again.

After a long day's fighting, when dusk comes, the attack of mud crab finally slows down. Perhaps because the mud crabs that had ended their hibernation had been emptied, the remaining mud crabs chose to hide in the water for a while, waiting for more companions to wake up from hibernation, and then attack the defenses on the desperate beach.

On this day, the ammunition that NAC leans on the beach can be piled into a hill.

Li Wang opened the mask of his helmet, sat down on the stool, took the nutrient mixture from the logistics personnel, raised his head and poured two bottles. He's been on the front line all day, and he hasn't been able to get into the water since early morning.

At this time, the adjutant came forward and reported the situation of the front line to him.

”From early morning till now, we have emptied 107 cases of ammunition, and the remaining ammunition is only enough for us to hold on for another two days.”

”How about the construction of the fence”

”there are still 10 percent left.”

Li Wang nodded.

Good. Keep that momentum going and it should be finished by noon tomorrow.

looked to the distant sea level, the waves rolled up the bubbles of white, nor was it a roll of sea tide, or the foam of the swamp crab that was awakening from hibernation. No one knows how much breathing time mud crabs will give them, but after drinking the nutriment, the soldiers went to the beach to look for some crab roe, went back to the rear of the position, raised a fire and roasted them with branches.

In normal times, they will definitely come to two pots of small wine to taste, but at the moment, obviously there is no such condition. After wiping the crab roe in their hands, they picked up their rifles again and went back to the front line, resting while waiting for a new round of offensive.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Wang called his subordinates in the command room to adjust the front-line deployment.

Just then, a man lifted the curtain of the command room and entered the barracks.

”Marshal” saw the comer clearly, and Li Wang immediately opened his eyes with joy and welcomed him, ”great, you are back at last”

after Miss Lin came back from Datun Mountain Nature Park, Li Wang was always worried about the safety of Jiang Chen. If it wasn't for the front line that there were no hands, Jiang Chen ordered him to leave alone. He was ready to send someone to look for him there.

Jiang Chen nodded to him with a smile and immediately asked about the situation of the front line.

”What's the situation at the front line”

”it's very serious. There are too many mud crabs, but we managed to finish 80% of the project before the early morning of February 28. We can finish the fence by tomorrow at the latest, ”Li Wang said firmly.

”Casualties?” Jiang Chen asked him the most concerned question.

”Seven dead and five wounded. Some of these mud crabs are capable of spraying corrosive acid, and the casualties are mainly caused by these variants.”

Seven dead and five wounded. The battle damage is still within acceptable range. Jiang Chen is relieved.

If he can't keep it, he is more inclined to withdraw from Yizhou Island temporarily and return to the island until the summer solstice to complete the defense line. Although we want to start the construction of the space elevator earlier, it would be more than worth the loss if there were a large number of casualties in the expeditionary force.

”I'll let Wang Qing settle down the family members of the soldiers who died in battle. I'll leave the defense line to you.” Jiang Chen

”yes,” Li Wang saluted. After a pause, he said, ”there is one more thing I have to report to you.”

”What's the matter?” Jiang Chen stopped preparing to leave and turned to ask.

”Some time ago, under the instigation of people with ulterior motives, the survivors went on strike and nearly brought the project to a complete standstill. I have an ulterior motive investigation of my own staff and found that those with ulterior motives are the details of the 79 refuge.
