Chapter 272 Blood Night Slaughter
Yunnan Province.
Border bridge.
The unit stationed at the bridgehead was a hastily assembled force, consisting of an infantry company from a neighboring military region and the local city's internal security forces.
At that moment, at a sentry post on the side of the bridge, two soldiers were talking in hushed tones.
"Squad leader, how long do you think we have to keep guarding this position? Didn't they say they would send reinforcements to take over our posts?" a new recruit complained to a veteran soldier beside him, his face full of worry.
The veteran sighed helplessly and replied, "I'm not quite sure either. It's been three days already, and we haven't seen any reinforcements yet."
Disappointment crossed the recruit's face as he continued to mutter, "What's going on? We've been waiting here so long, have they forgotten about us?"
The veteran patted the new recruit on the shoulder and comforted him, "Stop complaining. Didn't the company commander just hold a meeting this morning?"
"He said that reinforcements will definitely come, it's just a matter of time. Don't worry, once the reinforcements arrive, we will definitely be able to launch a counterattack and recapture Yunnan Province."
Although the veteran himself was unsure, he still mustered his spirits and gave the new recruits some hope.
After all, in this situation, if there is no hope at all, it would be really difficult to maintain the morale of the soldiers.
Time passed by, night gradually fell, and the streetlights on the bridge lit up one by one.
According to regulations, it was time for the first round of handover at the sentry post.
However, the sentry who was supposed to take over the shift was nowhere to be seen, which made the two soldiers on guard somewhat anxious.
.................................................. ..
"Could these guards have overslept? Why aren't they coming over yet!" the veteran muttered, grumbling as he peeked at the deserted encampment not far away, a strange feeling suddenly welling up inside him.
"Xiao Wang, keep an eye on your surroundings. I'm going to call the company headquarters." The veteran solemnly instructed the new recruit beside him, a hint of unease in his voice.
He quickly picked up the phone in the guard post, ready to contact the company headquarters.
However, just as the veteran picked up the phone, a faint voice suddenly came through.
The sound was so faint that it was as soft as the buzzing of a mosquito's wings, and most people would hardly notice it.
But veterans, having been on the battlefield for many years, have an extraordinary sensitivity to danger.
But his reaction was too slow. His pupils suddenly contracted, his body stiffened as if he had been electrocuted, and his head slumped against the corner of the wall, motionless.
"Whoosh!" Another faint sound came, and this time, the standing recruit also collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained away.
But in his final moments, the recruit, with unwavering willpower and well-trained reflexes, managed to pull the trigger of his weapon.
"Bang!" The crisp gunshot pierced the silent night sky, sounding particularly abrupt in this tranquil moment.
The gunshot rang out like a thunderclap, immediately alerting the garrison camp not far away.
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing whistle rang out throughout the entire garrison camp, shattering the tranquility of the night.
The whistle was an emergency order, and several fully armed soldiers sprang into action as if by reflex.
They formed a tight formation with astonishing speed and sped towards the outpost.
Meanwhile, in the shadows on one side of the bridge, a figure was quietly watching everything.
The figure was the Locust Gurongi, whose face was extremely pale. His planned operation seemed to have been disrupted by the sudden gunfire.
“Tsk…” the locust Gurongi cursed under his breath.
"I didn't expect these 'Linduo' warriors to have such a strong will, and to have discovered the anomaly so quickly."
"Forget it, since we've been discovered, let's not waste any more time and just kill them all!"
As soon as the locust Gurongi finished speaking, his figure flashed away like lightning, leaving behind only the corpses of soldiers in their inner guard uniforms scattered on the ground, as if he had never been there at all.
Inside the guard post, the soldiers who had come to provide support had just finished examining the bodies of the two sentries and were preparing to cordon off the scene, waiting for the main force to arrive before conducting a more in-depth search.
However, at that moment, the locust Gurongi suddenly appeared from the side like a ghost.
His speed was as fast as lightning, leaving no time for anyone to react.
With a swift movement, he beheaded one of the outermost soldiers.
"It's an anomalous creature! Open fire!" This sudden scene shocked the other soldiers, but they reacted quickly, immediately realizing the danger and opening fire on the locust Gurongi without hesitation.
Gunshots and shouts mingled together, and the scene became extremely chaotic.
However, despite the soldiers' exceptionally fierce firepower, these bullets were like scratching an itch through a boot for the locust Gurongi, unable to cause him any real harm.
The locust Gurongi fearlessly charged into the crowd, seemingly unaffected by the firepower of the soldiers.
He brandished the incredibly sharp sickle claws on his arms, each swing bringing with it a storm of blood and gore.
"Sizzle! Sizzle!"
Accompanied by a chilling sound, several jets of blood gushed out, splattering all around.
In less than half a minute, all the soldiers had been killed by the locust Gurongi, leaving the scene in a mess with blood staining the ground.
After dealing with the soldiers, the locust Gurongi did not linger. He licked the blood from his scythe claws, and his ferocious face looked even more terrifying against the backdrop of blood.
Then, he vanished again like a ghost, and the next moment, he was already inside the encampment.
