934 Horrible Abnormality (1/2)

(TL: This is bonus chapter #5 for October. Enjoy! And thanks for the Patreon support!)

Aziz was seriously injured so Sheyan naturally could not leave him alone. If someone like a thief appeared and attacked him, Aziz might die. Sheyan of course couldn't let that happen - at least not while their interests were aligned.

Fortunately, Aziz's injuries had healed very quickly, mainly because the MIB and the US Army provided some technologically-advanced healing items, ie. elastic medical coagulation bandages, BCW adrenaline injections, high-energy antibiotics, high-calorie food, and even used Gamma Knives to stop his bleeding. All these things were readily available in the medical vehicle. Of course, they could not be brought out from this world.

After the two of them recovered and re-joined the battle, they found that the fight at the frontline had become even fiercer as they advanced. Large amount of Bug corpses entangled with the corpses of soldiers on the ground. Flesh mixed with blood in a gruesome mess.

There was originally a green grassy field spanning thousands of square meters in the farm with several white sculptures on it. The scenery was very beautiful and it was the best rest area for the farm employees. However, the field was now had several large holes formed by explosions on it, each of them about five square meters in size. Black soil scattered everywhere due to the explosions. The green grass had been trampled all over. None of the corpses, be they human or Bug, were whole.

Broken limbs scattered about from the impact of the explosions. Blood flowed like rivers. The unevolved Bugs greedily gathered to enjoy the food. Pungent smell assaulted the nose. The place was like a scene from hell.

In the production area of ​​the farm, the livestocks were divided into a total of six huge barns according to their type, namely two chicken barns, two cattle barns, a turkey barn and a pig barn. Chickens and cattles received special treatment because they were more in demand. They each had two barns.

Behind the six barns was a medium-sized processing plant. The livestock would undergo initial processing here in order to make the products more convenient to sell and transport.

The military had already broken through the defensive lines of the two chicken barns and had set fire to them in order to thoroughly eliminate those disgusting larvae. The current frontline of the battle was at the turkey barn area.

A large number of mantis-limbed cockroaches could be seen at the frontline area. They had even shown the ability to fly over a short-range. They came in groups and exuded overwhelming pressure.

Behind them were a large number Bugmen that used to be the farm workers. They provided support with firearms. A tank was destroyed on a slope. The raging fire and thick smoke from it were particularly eye-catching.

Under such circumstances, the US military's strong firepower was once again contained. If the infantry charged in without the cover of the tanks, they were definitely no match for the ferocious melee + long range combination of the Bugs. The scariest thing about the mantis-limbed cockroaches was their short-range flight ability which enabled them to swarm a person from every direction. The best way to deal with them was with the flamethrowers, but the precise shooting of the Bugmen in the distance ensured that any flamethrower-wielder who stepped forward would die!

Sheyan grabbed a soldier whose face was blackened by smoke, revealing only his two eyes and his two rows of white teeth, and asked:

”Brother, how did they burn the tank?”

The soldier was obviously a new recruit. He was breathing heavily and trembling all over. When Sheyan tapped his shoulder, he almost turned around and shot at Sheyan in his nervousness. Sheyan gave him some water and then lit a cigarette for him. After sucking a few mouthfuls of smoke, he finally calmed down a little. He replied with horror in his eyes:

”Those damn Bugs prepared anti-tank missiles! Our tank is tough, but it was hit at the same spot by three consecutive missiles. Of course it couldn't withstand that.”

The missiles were obviously prepared by the contestants too. Sheyan thought things over carefully while looking at the scene. No matter how he thought about it, he could not see a way the Bugs could come out victorious. Although they had the upper hand at the moment, as long as the United States used their usual tactic of bombing every inch of the area, defeat was inevitable for the Bugs.

The lack of long-range heavy-duty weapons was undoubtedly the biggest weakness of the Bugs! They could only take the beating.

Sheyan contemplated further and went to check some things on the tactical computer. He found that the battle situation here had attracted the full attention of the higher-ups. A large number of troops flocked to this place to block all the important roads nearby. In outer space, there were three satellites monitoring the situation here from different angles. It was extremely difficult for anyone to escape with such careful arrangement.

”It didn't feel like the opponents were fighting to the death. Rather, it felt like they were buying time,” mumbled Sheyan to himself as he took cover behind a broken wall.

”But what are they delaying for?”

Suddenly, a fierce explosion occurred. Sheyan felt a threat and dived down, but the wall that had concealed him collapsed and buried him underneath. After a while, Sheyan climbed out covered with dirt. He spat a few times to dispose of the sand in his mouth.
