8: blood and fire

Ding-a-ling-a-ling… Ding-a-ling-a-ling… As the alarm blared, warriors immediately rushed out of the base, surging into various heavy fire points, ready for battle.

The base gate was opened, and heavy tanks sped out from the thick, heavy gate.

Two hundred meters outside the base, these steel behemoths lined up neatly, forming the base's second line of defense.

A full twenty main battle tanks, reinforced with thickened armor!

Without the slightest hesitation or concealment, Major Yuan Ye went all out from the start.

The war between humans and monsters has always been a life-or-death struggle, allowing no room for holding back.

The wolf pack continued to approach rapidly, and behind them, four Beast General-level giant wolves advanced at a steady pace, seemingly in no hurry.

Are they once again using cannon fodder to deplete human ammunition and energy?

Major Yuan Ye took a thumb-sized bullet from the magazine on his chest; under the firelight, the armor-piercing bullet emitted a unique metallic luster.

Six thousand meters!

Five thousand meters!

Four thousand meters!

...Awooo... Roar!!!!

When they were still two thousand meters from the first line of defense, one of the Beast General-level giant wolves howled to the sky.

Awoo!

Awoo!!!

Countless wolf howls echoed in the wilderness, seemingly responding to their alpha wolf.

As the sound faded, the wolf pack sprinted wildly, charging forward en masse.

It was as if they were meeting on a narrow path, with no option but to charge to their deaths!

Their ferocity and bloodlust were fully displayed at this moment!

Boom boom boom!!!

In the wilderness, dust billowed.

The first line of defense was an electric fence array constructed with 100,000-volt high-voltage electricity.

But it was clear that these giant wolves, led by their alpha, had lost all their fear and timidity.

They charged forward relentlessly, one after another, as if throwing their lives away.

Until their massive bodies made intimate contact with the high-voltage power grid, then transformed into a ball of fire.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!!

One after another, giant wolves, weighing one to two thousand catties, successively crashed into the electric fence, their corpses piling up, instantly reaching several meters high.

Blue electric arcs roared, burning one giant wolf body after another, and wisps of black smoke rose from the shocking wolf corpses.

Creak!!

The high-voltage power grid emitted a sound of being overwhelmed.

“All units, open fire!!!”

At this command, the entire base instantly became bustling.

Bang bang bang!!!

Tat tat tat!!!

The network of heavy firepower immediately roared to life, with tongues of fire desperately trying to prevent these wolf monsters from approaching.

Boom boom boom!!

Streaks of light tore through the night sky, crashing into the wolf pack.

In the soaring flames, the war base was illuminated for an instant.

Countless bullets, rapid-fire cannons, mountain guns, heavy artillery… formed a dazzling galaxy, pouring frantically into the distant wolf pack, eliciting heart-wrenching roars.

Even so, these giant wolves, fearless of death, continuously charged towards the high-voltage power grid.

Awoo roar!

Awoo!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!!

After sacrificing hundreds of giant wolves, the wolf pack finally broke through the first line of defense formed by the high-voltage power grid.

Next, what awaited them…

was a massive firepower network composed of twenty heavy main battle tanks.

The black muzzles of the cannons had long since locked onto the densest areas of the wolf pack, just waiting for them to come to their deaths.

Boom!!

Large-caliber high-explosive shells, carrying dazzling tail flames, slammed violently into the wolf pack.

Boom boom boom!!!

Ten or so giant wolves were mixed in with the flying dirt.

The wolf monsters at the center of the explosion were torn into dismembered limbs and then engulfed by the flames, turning into charred remains.

Awoo roar!

A thick smell of blood permeated from the smoke and dust, fiercely stimulating these already ferocious giant wolves.

Stimulated by the blood of their kin, these giant wolves became even more frenzied.

Their eyes were blood-red, and a violent blood-light flickered in their large, lamp-like wolf eyes.

The fire points throughout the base were also spewing fire snakes with all their might.

Streaks of fire intertwined to form a huge firepower net, covering the areas where the wolf pack charged.

The fiery inferno devoured the charging giant wolves every second.

On top of the high tower, Major Yuan Ye remained steadfast, reaping the lives of monsters with the high-precision sniper rifle in his hand.

During these years of fighting monsters, his marksmanship had long been honed to perfection.

Major Yuan Ye loaded, chambered, aimed, and fired methodically, with extremely fast hands.

Every armor-piercing bullet would take down an intermediate or advanced Beast Soldier.

As for the Beast General-level silver wolves, they were too far away.

Without the certainty of a one-shot kill, Major Yuan Ye did not provoke them.

Instead, he chose to aim his gun at the most threatening monsters at the forefront, shooting them down one by one to relieve pressure on his comrades in the second line of defense.

Soon, four or five hundred giant wolf corpses had fallen in the wilderness in front of the entire base.

And the vanguard wolf monsters were less than a thousand meters from the second position.

Whenever there was a major battle, Major Yuan Ye would become calmer the more he fought.

Because panic and impatience often lead to losing oneself and then perishing.

Bang!!

After firing the sixtieth armor-piercing bullet, Major Yuan Ye did not hesitate, putting down his sniper rifle and ammunition belt.

He took a deep look in the direction of the main battle tanks, his eyes flashing with determination.

Then, Major Yuan Ye gently took down the Battle Blade from his back, and like a nimble monkey, he leaped from the high tower, rushing towards the second line of defense.

His brothers were there!

Listening to the sounds from the turret, Major Yuan Ye ran while quickly calculating their ammunition consumption in his mind.

They couldn't last for three more minutes.

As one of the only two Junior Battle Generals and the second-in-command of this base, Major Yuan Ye always took the lead in major battles, fighting monsters in bloody combat on the front lines.

This time was no exception.

He intended to use the Battle Blade in his hand to cover his brothers' retreat and then make a stand.

Although their base was small, it served as a bridgehead for Kyoto Base City to penetrate the dangerous zone, playing a very important role.

The pure white moonlight fell like a bolt of silk upon the earth, and the night was deep.

Whoosh!!

The cold night wind whistled past his ears, stirring some of Major Yuan Ye's deepest memories.

Several years ago, under the same bright moonlight, he and his parents ran across the wilderness, with ferocious monsters behind them.

To protect him, his parents successively used themselves as bait, luring the monsters away.

Finally, Major Yuan Ye was rescued by a team of warriors from the Jingji Garrison, and the pursuing monster was killed.

But his parents were gone forever… Thinking of this, Major Yuan Ye's gaze sharpened.

The next moment, he pushed his Battle General speed to the extreme, rapidly approaching the second line of defense.

Bang bang bang bang!!!

As Major Yuan Ye appeared in the soldiers' sight, the gunfire became even denser.

All heavy fire points were relentlessly supporting their company commander.

Behind them, logistics soldiers continuously moved ammunition from the arsenal, maintaining the firepower suppression of each fire point.

Even though they were sweating profusely, no one complained of hardship or exhaustion.

On the battlefield of blood and fire, no one retreated.

Everyone was giving their all in their own way, resisting the monster's charge.

Further behind them, lay their base city and their homes…
