When the first explosion sounded, Danny had already jumped out of bed.
Then came the sound of a storm above his head, and at the same time, soil and debris kept falling, as if the whole residence was on the verge of collapse.
"What, what happened?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
His comrades also woke up from their dreams, and the pitch-dark room suddenly fell into chaos.
"No, it's an enemy attack!" The soldier closest to the door grabbed his rifle and reached out to pull the door, but was pressed to the ground by Danny. "What are you doing?"
"Don't move, the attack is not over yet!" Danny growled.
As expected, a few more explosions came from afar, followed by a series of muffled sounds like rain.
"Ahem, damn it, that's..."
Amid the flying dust, someone lit a candle. When the faint candlelight dispelled the darkness, they could not help but gasp in unison.
There were many sharp black needles on the bulging roof, which looked like a field of hair standing on end under the flickering candlelight.
"Spider Demon..." The soldier pressed to the ground by Danny swallowed. Most of the members of the precision sniper team had participated in the first expedition, so they were familiar with this kind of enemy. Obviously, he also knew what would have happened if he had rushed out of the residence and encountered the needles.
"If I can go back alive, I must buy two lamb legs and visit Miss Lotus to thank her," another man said, patting his chest.
According to the usual fighting habits, the temporary encampment was usually a tent, but this time, it was changed to a mud kiln house built by witches. Although they did not know whether this was the consideration of the higher-ups, there was no doubt that this measure had played a key role. If it was still a cloth tent, they would have been riddled with holes.
"Don't say such inauspicious words. I'm still waiting to go back and get married."
"You're just trying to get close to Miss Lotus, aren't you?"
"Nonsense, if you want to get close to her, it should be Nana, the little angel."
Even though they were just a hair's breadth away from death, none of them were affected by this sudden ambush. Even though they were talking nonstop, their weapons and ammunition were already on their bodies.
Obviously, these people all understood one thing.
Death could not be avoided. It was either coming or not. Since he could still think about this problem, it meant that it was not time for him to die. Instead of worrying and being afraid, it was better to do something first, such as killing the enemy.
Danny waited until the campsite was boiling before he pushed open the door and rushed out of the kiln.
At the entrance of the barracks, there were a few sentries who had been impaled and were no longer breathing. At this moment, there were sounds everywhere — people shouting, gunshots, explosions, and the roars of demons. No one knew where the enemies were and how many there were. The lights of the sentry tower, which was supposed to be used for directions, did not light up. It was as if the enemies had appeared in the camp in a blink of an eye.
He climbed straight to the roof, looked around for a moment, and found a place with the least amount of gunfire and ran, completely ignoring the shouts of his teammates behind him.
"I thought you'd go where the most people are."
Malt's voice chuckled beside his ear.
This was why he loved to fight.
Only in the midst of the smoke would his partner appear by his side again.
"That means we have the upper hand, and I'm just the icing on the cake," Danny replied. "The intermittent gunfire means someone is in a hard fight, and only my bullets can bring salvation."
"I told you, it's not your fault. You can't save everyone on the battlefield."
"But at least I can save everyone I see," he said with a smile. "Don't worry, I think it's good. It makes me see you more clearly."
Danny turned his head, and sure enough, a familiar face emerged from the darkness and followed him all the way.
When he approached the battlefield, he found a commanding height — a dozen randomly stacked iron boxes — and climbed up. As his vision suddenly became clear, he noticed that he was close to the position of the Longsong Cannons, and several demons were using the bunkers to fight with the artillerymen. Obviously, the artillerymen, who lacked heavy weapons, did not have the upper hand. They could not suppress the enemy, nor could they seize the position when the demons threw their spears.
In the distance between the barracks and the cannons, several people were impaled by bone spears and fell in pools of blood.
"How did they get here?"
"I don't know, but their good days are coming to an end." Danny raised his rifle and aimed at a demon that was sneaking toward the barracks from the side. If it were to succeed, then it would probably give rise to a storm of blood in an instant. The demon had no idea that someone was aiming at it, and its whole body was exposed to the scope.
Without hesitation, Danny pulled the trigger. A cloud of red mist rose from the back of the demon's head, and it fell from the roof.
Even with only the moonlight to illuminate the distance, Danny would not miss at a distance of 100 meters.
"Well done. Pay attention to the left. Someone is moving. "
Danny saw five or six soldiers squatting in the corner, slowly moving to the edge. It seemed that they were going to risk their lives to enter the position against the demons' spears.
"Your courage is commendable, but your skills are zero. Without covering fire, you can't escape from the spears." Danny slightly raised the corner of his mouth. "So, why don't we wait a little longer?"
He quickly fired three shots at the demons' feet. The sudden splash of dust and the whistling sound of the bullets startled the soldiers, who had just taken a step forward.
"You'll be cursed to death by them," Malt said worriedly.
"Hahahaha." Danny finally burst into laughter. "They'll have to be alive to curse me." He quickly turned the rifle and pointed at the Mad Demons who dared to show themselves. The demons who had been about to attack the barracks were completely suppressed and did not dare to show themselves.
At this moment, there was another sound of something breaking through the air.
"Watch out. Look over there!"
Following Malt's warning, several black shadows fell from the sky and plunged straight into the position.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
The impact was so loud that the ground trembled slightly.
In the moonlight, Danny was surprised to find that it was actually a few huge black stone pillars! After they landed on the ground, red mist spurted out from the stone pillars, and at the same time, there was a sizzling sound as if air was leaking. It was quite similar to His Majesty's steam engine.
But he soon found out that it was not a machine.
Three stone slabs peeled off from the thick pillars and fell to the ground, bringing with them a large pool of "blood". The pillars were divided into three parts, each of which was stuffed with a demon! They were wrapped in a living sac, like babies immersed in their mother's womb. When the scarlet liquid was discharged, they woke up and bared their ferocious fangs.
But before the demons could walk out of the black stone pillars, a bullet accurately pierced through the head of one of the Mad Demons.
"Puff!"
The person who was shot swayed a few times before collapsing limply into the stone pillar.
