753 The Cabin by the Lake (1/2)

On the first of March, the Month of Disaster arrived on schedule.

Mud Crabs began to awaken from hibernation one after another and emerged from the shallows. They began to move on to the beach. Hunger and breeding biological instincts drove these creatures forward. Any other creatures would not be foraging. Even the Dead Claws would not dare to appear in front of these monsters that consumed everything.

On Desperate Beach, piles of triangular spines tied with graphene ropes were placed on the beach. The wooden stakes were connected by barbed wire, just like countless tank traps.

This was the idea Li Wang's deputy commander came up with. Although it looked stupid, it was surprisingly effective. These stakes may not be able to stab through the shells of the Mud Crabs, but they were heavy and strong enough to impede their movement. For a creature like the Mud Crab with short legs, either they remove the entire stake or push the stakes forward in the sand.

Before the wall is built, they could only use this method to stop the footsteps of the Mud Crabs. The supply line from Yizhou to Wanghai was too long and the number of ”Fireball-1” was limited. Therefore, artillery coverage must be used in critical areas.

NAC's soldiers attacked the Mud Crabs trying to cross the line behind bunkers and stakes.

More and more wooden stakes were placed on the beach to gain time for the construction of the wall. The artillery intermittently fired toward the beach and provided soldiers with a slight chance to catch their breath in the frontline.

In the Expeditionary Fortress, with the exception of artillery soldiers and a small amount of logistical personnel, non-combat units had begun to evacuate to the airship.

Lin Lin looked pale in the cockpit of AS Order when she gazed at the direction of Desperate Beach. The wave made up by Mud Crabs formed a dark green steel turbid that squeezed through the NAC soldiers' defenses...

Her small hands tightly squeezed in front of her chest before fixating to the direction of Datun Mountain. The small lips repeatedly whispered the same sentence.

”Big Pervert... Please be safe.”

...

It was a log cabin next to the resort's Clearwater Lake. Until he saw the rusty sign, Jiang Chen did not know why the name of the nuclear power plant was not called the Datun Nuclear Power Plant, but instead, Clearwater.

While there were houses everywhere, for some strange reason, he chose to build this wooden cabin by the lake.

Pushing open the decaying wooden door, a damp, musty smell blew into his face.

Jiang Chen walked into the house and examined the layout.

Pots and pans were all available, but it didn't look like someone lived there. The corners of the cabin were filled with thick cobwebs. Moss and mushrooms grew wildly. The foot-sized cockroaches quickly escaped into their caves, revealing the desolation of the area.

There were a pile of nutrient supply beside the cabinets and some pickled Mud Crab roe. Evidently, this place was his hiding place during the Month of Disaster. If he didn't enter the shelter, it was a good place to take refuge.

A diary was placed on the table in the wooden house with its pages already turning yellow. Jiang Chen picked up the diary, shook off the dust on the cover, and turned to read the contents of the diary.
