Chapter 88 (1/2)
The fields at night are particularly lonely. Looking from a distance, the forests and mountains in the distance outline the ups and downs of shadows, just like the dark mouths that people want to eat, which makes people feel a little scared.
When the cold wind blew past, many soldiers couldn't help shrinking their necks and hurriedly stretched out their hands to cover their collars.
A patrolling soldier wiped his nose and couldn't help complaining: ”I've been stationed for four nights. When is the end?”
”Stop talking nonsense and patrol well, or you'll feel better when the captain sees it.” his companion glared at him.
”Well, I'll complain soon. Am I wrong? We're the only battalion stationed here for so many days. We don't have to change our defense. We have to deal with the two monsters from time to time. We can't support them for four days.”
”Just wait for the people from the upper department to come.”
”That's right. After waiting day after day, I don't know when they will arrive.” the soldier smashed his mouth. ”You say who the people sent above can deal with such a terrible monster. Those two monsters can't even kill machine guns and rockets.”
His companion rolled his eyes and said helplessly, ”can you say less... Hmm? There's a car coming!”
They looked intently and found that a jeep was coming slowly for more than 300 meters.
”There is an army sign on the car. It's our own.”
After the soldier said this, he quickly took out the communication device at his waist and began to report.
Five minutes later, two youths who got off the jeep were welcomed into a large tent behind the line of defense.
There were two senior officers, old and young, waiting in the tent. They saw them lift the curtain and enter, and immediately greeted them with a smile.
”Consultant Yang, consultant Du, welcome, welcome, you're finally here.”
Yang Li and Du Hua nodded to the two officers respectively, glanced at the ranks on their shoulders without trace, then looked at the older one, went straight to the theme and asked, ”major, what's the situation?”
”So far, we have fought back three alien attacks, with an average interval of about 35 hours, and the last one was 27 hours ago,” the senior officer replied.
Yang Li and Du Hua looked at each other when they heard the speech, and their eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Monsters have the habit of swallowing meteorites to recover from injuries. If the interval is 27 hours, they have recovered almost, which means that the battle will become much more difficult.
After a pause, Du Hua asked, ”how many meteorites are left?”
”The volume is about half less than when it first landed. It is speculated that there are less than five kilograms left.”
This time, another young officer answered. The rank on his shoulder showed that he was a lieutenant.
Du Hua glanced at him and said faintly, ”according to your statement, the two monsters were seriously injured three times. I'm afraid they swallowed more than that few meteorites. At most, there are only three or four kilograms left.”
The young officer was stunned: ”but according to our observation...”
”Are you doubting my professional judgment?” Du Hua interrupted him impolitely.
The young officer raised his eyebrows when he heard the speech, and his anger flashed away. He was still waiting to argue, but he was stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder by the nearby major. The latter winked at him, then nodded to Du Hua and said with a smile:
”Consultant Du is a professional. Of course, we won't doubt your judgment. It must be my people's wrong estimation. I'll let them observe it again later.”
As soon as these words came out, Du Hua's cold look eased a little, and nodded: ”the major is still reasonable.”
”Then next, please send heavy firepower to cooperate with us to kill monsters.”
”Yes, I'll order someone to arrange it now and officially launch the attack in 15 minutes, OK?”
Du Hua nodded, said no more, and Yang Li turned and walked out of the tent.
