People often only regret when things happen. Just like before the stock market crash, they never believed that such a day would come and they would definitely be able to escape in advance. No matter how many times they repeated the same mistakes in the past, it was still the same.
Conflict, negotiation, fighting back and forth, racking their brains. In the end, they discovered that their enemies were not each other. The real deadly threat still came from a foreign planet. However, the recent comfort seemed to have made everyone forget that they were in a dangerous place.
The emergency meeting and the information blockade became a joke. In addition to showing the low efficiency of the camp's response in the face of a crisis, it also delayed the best time to escape.
It was too late to regret now.
The giant, which was as tall as a building, carried a rusty giant sword. Even if it just stood in front of them, it could make people wet their pants.
Only some people in the army knew that when it was released from the coffin and climbed out of the huge cave, many people thought that they had seen a devil from hell.
Its body exuded a rotten smell. Its skin was like moldy black bread, rotten and rotting. There was not a single part of its body that was intact. When it exerted force, the stinky skin split open, revealing black rotten flesh that was even more rotten, as if maggots had crawled on it.
In order to stop it, the army on the ground raised their muzzles one by one, and heavy machine guns lined up in a row, spraying dense tongues of fire. Even anti-aircraft machine guns were used, and a regiment of heavy grenade launchers was also firing fiercely. In the early morning sky above the jungle, countless bullets flew, and countless shells whistled, but there was only one target, that more than 60 meters tall giant.
The heavy snipers tried to send bursting bullets into the position of its heart or head, the tank gunners tried to smash its giant legs, forcing it to fall or retreat, and the ordinary soldiers densely covered the ground like ants, pouring bullets.
No matter how much they complained to their superiors, no matter how unfair their promotions were, and no matter how much of the promised supplies were deducted, at this moment, they were just soldiers. A soldier's duty and instinct was to pick up the guns in their hands, as well as all kinds of weapons, and fight back!
Perhaps they didn't want to be cannon fodder and fight to the death with the Americans. Perhaps they would flirt with girls, act cool, and curse the world while drinking. Perhaps many of them peed their pants and became dumbfounded on the spot. Some even threw away their weapons and ran away. But when the cannons, the gunshots, and the shouts of their comrades rang out, countless soldiers and officers rushed to the frontline. It was as if they were responding to the struggling gunshots and the shouts of their comrades, because they were soldiers, soldiers.
Behind them was their home, in front of them were their comrades, and there was still a trace of bravery in their bodies!
The glory of the people, the prosperity of the country, the deep sense of historical honor … all these empty words were bullsh * t at this moment. The soldiers who rushed out to resist only knew that if they also retreated and ran away, then how could their unarmed relatives resist this huge demon from hell!?
They could only let it ravage them!
But they didn't know that at the back of the camp, rows of helicopters that should have been sent to the battlefield were filled with various panicked top-level figures. They were frantically preparing to take off and escape the camp …
The troll ate everything, from a dog to a cow, from a man to a tree. As long as they were caught by its giant hands, they were all sent into its huge mouth. Not a single one of them was spared.
Almost all the places it passed through were barren, and not even a single blade of grass was left.
But countless bullets that drew countless lines of fire in the air couldn't stop its footsteps. Even the powerful high-explosive shells that drilled into its rotten skin quickly dissolved and disappeared.
It seemed that every time it was hit, it became stronger.
Tanks and armored vehicles were tossed around like toys in front of it. The drivers and gunners screamed and jumped out of the tanks that were flying in the air. They floated around like fallen leaves, but they didn't have parachutes.
Even more people were directly crushed to death by the pair of giant hands. Their flesh and internal organs were scattered all over the ground like a pool in a slaughterhouse.
The gigantic demon did not seem to have exerted any strength to make a decent attack, but the defensive line that was concentrated into a strong firepower was trampled into pieces. Many soldiers held their heads in pain as they fled from the giant foot that descended from the sky. Those who were stepped on, when the sole of the foot moved away, had already been turned into a meat patty, tightly stuck to the bottom of the giant foot.
Even so, it didn't let go of them. It often bent down, picked up the broken human-shaped meat pies that were only connected by the muscles, and put them into its mouth. It didn't forget to eat the collapsed jungle trees next to it as if they were side dishes.
After breaking through the line of defense of the "ants", the troll inserted the long rusted sword into the ground. At the place where the sword entered the soil, several soldiers who were stabbed screamed and struggled desperately … and it simply lay on the ground, freed its hands, and captured the "ants" who were running in panic, swallowing a large number of plants one bite at a time.
Its hands and mouth were filled with the figures of people who were desperately struggling in panic.
A helicopter that had just risen was discovered by the troll before it could fly out. It spat out a thick phlegm-like stinky pus and shot through the air. The helicopter was drowned and crashed in the camp.
More than a dozen soldiers and officers who were bloodshot roared and climbed up the troll's arms with bombs. Enduring the almost unbreathable stench, they tightly grasped the steel-like rotten skin and approached the troll's ears and mouth step by step, trying to stuff the bombs in and blow it up.
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to approach the huge ugly ear hole, it stood up and shook its body. The people who climbed up were suddenly shaken off like lice and fell into a meat pie.
The land-based missiles were finally launched, but because the radars and other equipment were collectively out of control after they came to this planet, and the new technology had not been completed yet, the positioning error was almost equivalent to a blind shot. They could only watch the warheads pass by the troll.
Although there was a trace of courage, although they tried to resist, under the huge gap in strength, the whole army finally collapsed. No matter how many people went up, it would be suicide. They couldn't stop it at all!
Unless, like in the American camp, there was a strong person to repel it, even if it was just to chase it away.
However, they didn't.
The defeat was too fast, and the camp didn't even have time to retreat. It was already a pot of messy porridge. The safety wall, which was originally used to prevent jungle creatures from entering, became the biggest obstacle to their escape, just like when India City was burned. Countless people crowded at the entrance and under the wall.
When they were young, the three good elementary school students of a famous school, under the visit of international friends, deliberately arranged the order to pull balloons out of the narrow glass bottle one after another. The scene of being praised by international friends could only appear in elementary school textbooks.
In reality, during the college entrance examination or even the high school entrance examination, all the children only understood one principle: raise the bloody butcher's knife and cut down all those who dared to snatch the single-log bridge with them!
The people who were stuck at the entrance and under the wall did not hesitate to step on human heads. They did not care about the screams of the people who were about to be trampled to death under their feet. They stuffed the children in their hands through the blocked gaps and shouted,
"Run, run to the north, run to the Americans, don't worry about dad!"
Among them was the man who sold carrots that Zheng Youting had seen.
Soon, the giant invaded the camp. The congested entrance and the wall became its best hunting ground. As long as it stretched out its hand, it could grab a large handful of "ants" that could not resist, allowing it to prey on them to its heart's content.
Finally, three fighter jets appeared in the sky. Two of them were fighter jets that took off from the newly built runway in the China camp, and the other was a fighter jet from the Americans.
Due to the loss of communication, radio, and radar equipment, there were very few fighter jets that could fly. The hit rate of the missiles also depended on the pilot's manual guidance, and whether or not they could hit the target depended on luck.
The appearance of the fighter jets diverted the giant's attention. It seemed to stare at the three fighter jets for a while, then growled angrily, pulled out the giant sword that was inserted into the ground, and waved it all over the sky, as if it wanted to stab the fighter jets high in the sky down.
A Chinese pilot gestured to his comrade in the other fighter jet through the cockpit cover, indicating that he was about to start attacking. If he failed, he would ask the other party to find the opportunity that he had traded his life for and immediately attack.
Taking a deep breath, the pilot Hao Yang cleared his mind of distracting thoughts. He lowered the nose of the fighter jet and used the thrust and gravity to accelerate the dive downward. The sharp sound of breaking the air rang through the sky.
Apart from the thick phlegm in its mouth, the giant did not seem to have any other proven long-range attacks. He had to get as close to the target as possible outside the range of the giant sword and release the missile. Otherwise, without a precise positioning system, there was no telling where the missile would hit!
The first dive failed, and he was almost hit by the thick phlegm.
The fighter jet whistled and flew over the giant's head. The bullets that flew randomly on the ground made rows of shocking bullet holes on the wings of the fighter jet. He was too close.
After pulling up the fighter jet and circling around, he found that the American fighter jet flying from the opposite side was using this gap to accurately dive down from the back of the giant. He did not know why the Americans came to "help" at this time. It was probably to test the giant's ability to resist attacks.
However, the other party's dive also failed, and then his comrade's dive was followed. The three of them cooperated tacitly and launched dive attacks on the giant's head.
To the giant, they were like flies flying over his head, shuttling back and forth.
A missile finally hit the giant's body, and a violent explosion rose into the sky. The fragments even hit the fighter jet that did not have time to pull up. The distance was too close!
Hao Yang could only watch helplessly as his comrade turned into a ball of fire. The people under his wing saw the giant being swallowed by the flames and burst into cheers.
It finally hit!
The giant should have fallen, right?
It should be impossible for it to survive such a degree of destruction!
Hao Yang was sad but also relieved. From his point of view, the giant was completely swallowed by the explosion and should have no chance of survival. After paying such a big price, did they finally kill it?
He needed to confirm it and add another missile.
When he pulled back the fighter jet and swooped down, he was shocked to see that the giant in the flames had actually stepped out of the flames. The cheers of the people on the ground suddenly stopped.
The giant's eyes seemed to be filled with blood and fire. Its heavy sword pointed to the sky and it roared something!
However, Hao Yang realized the danger. He stopped diving and released all the missiles regardless of their accuracy. Then he quickly pulled up and fled.
The American fighter jet did the same thing at almost the same time, except that it did not fire the missiles. It flew back to the north. There, the American camp had begun to evacuate and hide in the north.
A triangular golden light shone on the giant's forehead. There seemed to be a triangular object engraved with complicated lines that was deeply nailed into the giant's head. As the giant roared, the triangular object was forced out inch by inch. The giant's expression became extremely painful, and its eyes became extremely perplexed.
The flying missiles set off a wave of explosions. Except for killing many people, the damage to the giant was negligible.
The people on the ground finally lost all hope. Other than running for their lives, they had given up all resistance.
The flowing golden triangular was being forced out of the giant's head inch by inch. Its eyes also became more painful and confused, and it seemed to become more hungry. Its hands grabbed everything it could grab and stuffed it into its mouth.
Chewing on human bodies, jungle plants, and other messy little creatures, the giant continuously chased after the fleeing ants, continuously forcing out the triangular body.
Fatty Zheng Youting had also given up on any hope of survival. He looked at the approaching giant in despair. He hadn't expected that his new venture would end here just as it had just begun.
Next to him were Secretary Wang, his boss, and others. At this time, he realized that they were no different from ordinary people. They would also be scared silly. It was just that after knowing that there was no hope of escape, they were calmer than others.
He did not see He Ning. When it happened, she was probably still in the management office. However, he saw the outrageously beautiful girl and her parents. The father was slightly older, but the mother was still attractive.
Thinking that this delicate and quiet girl would also become minced meat in the demonic giant's mouth, Fatty felt a wave of pity. However, he did not have the right to sympathize with others, because he would also become a pile of minced meat.
He suddenly could not help but think that his minced meat and the delicate girl would be mixed together by the giant's mouth. Although it was a disgusting feeling, from the perspective of death, dying with such a beautiful girl was the only consolation for him.
The walls were blasted open, but not many people could get through. There were too many people, and even if they ran out, they might not be able to outrun the giant's footsteps.
Those who had no hope of escaping finally gave up like Zheng Youting and the others. There was no need to say last words. Since no one would survive, they would just wait for death to come. Perhaps, this day would come sooner or later.
He Ning was also in a corner, but she did not seem to have the courage to face death. She was still the same as when she was in the hands of the pig-headed man. She curled up in a tent and pretended that she did not see anything, so she was not that afraid.
Everyone was waiting for death, but no one wanted to die, but everyone had to die.
Zheng Youting sighed. He realized that he had been sighing recently. Would he become old because of this? It was ridiculous that he could still think of this kind of question at this time!
He simply lay down and waited for death, hoping that the giant would flatten him with one foot. That way, he would not feel much pain. He was still very afraid of pain.
At this time, he suddenly heard the beautiful and quiet girl suddenly point in the direction of the sunrise in the east. She said strangely, "Look, there seems to be someone there."
There, on the slope that blocked the horizontal line of sight, a broken flag gradually rose from the other side of the slope. A moment later, the figure of a knight holding a battle flag appeared in his sight.
Zheng Youting seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He stood up like a carp and looked in the direction of the girl's finger. He saw that the knight had reined in his horse and spun around.
At this moment, Zheng Youting's heart was extremely nervous. Was it reinforcements? Was it reinforcements!? Was it the legendary Night Cavalry or that person?
He almost shouted in his heart, "It must be, it must be!"
Not only him, but everyone around him also fixed their eyes on the knight who seemed to be panting heavily on his warhorse. In their eyes, the spirited horse's body seemed to be as long as a century, as if it would turn around and leave in the next moment.
Was it reinforcements? Don't go! Don't go!
Even Secretary Wang was crying and praying, as if he was grasping at the last life-saving straw, and the giant was only a few steps away!
The spinning was so long that the people who first discovered it held their breath. Only their hearts were left beating along with the giant's footsteps.
Spin, spin, spin, it had not left, it was still spinning!
Zheng Youting's hands were tightly clenched, and his nails were deeply embedded into his flesh. He was afraid of pain, but he did not feel it at all! His whole body was as tense as a taut rubber band, and his eyes were fixed on the knight, as if he was afraid that if he moved even a little, he would scare the knight away.
Spin, spin, spin, it turned around! It turned around! It did not leave! It really did not leave!
Zheng Youting was so nervous that he almost shouted. Secretary Wang, who was beside him, was even more unbearable, and his whole body was trembling slightly. Everyone knew that those who dared to come to the rescue at this moment must be people with confidence. Otherwise, who would be willing to die?
Was there really still hope? Was there really still hope?
Zheng Youting looked back. Secretary Wang and the big boss were all staring at the knight that had turned around. Even the beautiful girl covered her mouth.
Everyone was extremely looking forward to it! So much so that the tip of their hearts was trembling.
But, but why didn't it rush down?
The glimmer of hope that had just risen suddenly returned to the edge of the cliff. They hung nervously in the air, praying again and again, and even begging …
It's over, it did not move, it is still there, it must have just come to take a look. It's over, it's over, everything is over!
When Zheng Youting and the others only had this thought in their minds, suddenly, a low whimper, but with a heavy murderous aura, came leisurely from the conch — —
"Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~"
"Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~"
The first sound was low, the second long, followed by the second and third hurried, and the last sound dragged out, distant and desolate. It was like a war drum from ancient times beating on people's hearts, riding on the wind, surging over!
Zheng Youting's breathing stagnated. An official who was already holding a pair of binoculars shouted excitedly, "It is blowing the horn, it is blowing the horn! It did not leave! "
The low, melodious and desolate sound of the horn reverberated, sweeping through the hell-like slaughterhouse, and directly pressing on people's hearts. More and more people noticed the knight that blew the horn, and countless pairs of eyes stared in that direction.
In the next moment, countless people collapsed to the ground, and some even had tears in their eyes — —
On the horizon at the top of the slope, in the melodious and desolate sound of the horn, heavily armored cavalry rushed out one after another, their cloaks and battle robes fluttering up and down as they galloped, their battle flags pointing directly at the giant!
