Chapter 558 Bloodthirsty Zeman
Chapter 558 Bloodthirsty Zeman
The vast ancient forest is shaded by towering old trees and entwined with vines.
The forest is shrouded in mist, as if hiding endless secrets.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and earth.
Haloxylon ammodendron
A patch of low bushes suddenly parted, and a nimble figure emerged from it.
It was a beast with colorful patterns, holding half of a human corpse in its mouth, and bloody intestines fell out of the broken abdomen and dragged on the ground.
There was a glistening green light in the beast's eyes. After looking around vigilantly for a few times, it pounced towards a thick old tree, preparing to climb up the tree and quietly enjoy its meal.
suddenly.
A black line shot out from the forest, accurately passed through the eye sockets of the beast, then pierced through its skull, and with a "click" sound, it was nailed to a tree trunk a few meters away.
Half a minute later.
A burly figure emerged from optical invisibility, walked to the side of the beast, and reached out to take the half of the corpse in the beast's mouth.
Three figures appeared from behind, and one of them reached out to take the corpse.
"Buried on the spot."
"Yes, Captain."
Amidst the low responses, blades popped out of the two men's arms, and they quickly dug a hole in the ground, put the body in, and buried it.
The captain reached out to remove the arrow embedded in the tree trunk and put it back into the crossbow, while scanning the vast primeval forest through the tactical eyepiece.
They are combatants belonging to the 6th Karen Ranger Regiment.
The main force has all rushed to the front battlefield, and the areas behind the front line will need their Ranger Regiment to inspect and clear them.
This task is not difficult because there are very few Zerg legions that can break through the defense line and enter here.
What they are on guard against are some sporadic forces that sneak in.
There had been a small-scale insect infestation here before, easily dealt with by a round of orbital bombardment.
What they are doing now is routine inspection and cleaning.
"Radiation reaction detected. We should be approaching the bombing zone. Take precautions."
The captain glanced at the data detected by the eyepiece and reminded in a low voice.
The four-man team went deeper inside, and the armor on their bodies began to become transparent, gradually synchronizing with the surrounding environment and entering a state of optical camouflage.
At this moment, the captain suddenly stopped and listened attentively.
The sound pickup system carried by the armor helmet accurately captures various sounds in the forest and classifies and eliminates them until useful information is left.
Those were faint screams.
The battle-hardened captain's eyes narrowed slightly, and without even bothering to hide, he growled, "Speed up!"
Upon hearing the sound, the three of them quickly removed their armor camouflage and poured all the energy into the power system.
Then he ran towards the direction where the sound came from at a speed of thirty meters per second.
Wild animals appeared on the road from time to time, but they ignored them and just ran away.
The sound that came with the wind became louder and louder.
Until their vision suddenly brightened and a ruined town appeared before them.
The fire was raging, and more than a hundred figures gathered together, holding weapons and launching a weak counterattack.
Surrounding them was a monster with granite-like grayish-white skin and curved limbs.
"Damn it, why is there a [Hound] here?"
"Isn't this a combat unit that only the main corps possesses?"
There was an exclamation from behind the captain.
suddenly.
The captain's eyes fixed, and he suddenly raised his right arm, and the light shield opened in front of him.
next second.
A [Hound] leaped out from the corner and crashed into the shield.
The team members at the rear immediately pulled out a high-energy molecular knife and inserted it into the neck of the Hound, chopping off the hideous head.
But the movement here was also noticed by the group of [hounds] in the town.
A pair of cruel and violent gazes were cast over.
"Ji Lu Lu~"
The besieged townspeople also noticed this team of rangers.
"Great! They're from the Defense Corps."
"Please save us."
“We don’t want to die.”
"..."
The townspeople who had just remained calm and worked together to fight the monster suddenly had their tense nerves collapse.
Constantly asking for help.
However, the captain's gaze was towards the back of the town.
It was a low mountain range.
But at this moment.
In the mountains, five black light pillars rose into the clouds. In the center, a huge vortex was constantly spinning, with lightning and thunder rolling in it, emitting a destructive aura.
"Is that... a space teleporter?"
The terrified voices of the team members came from behind.
"Such a massive teleportation channel, what level of combat power must it have? Did they summon an entire army?!"
The captain sighed.
"It seems we have discovered an incredible place."
Then he pulled a beacon from his backpack and threw it into the sky.
"The enemy must have figured out a way to evade our radar detection."
"Whatever they plan to do, we must not let them succeed! This is behind the battle lines. If they succeed in summoning a new legion, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"The support beacon has been launched, but no one can predict when they will arrive. We must delay the enemy's plans as much as possible!"
"Captain, what about these people?"
One of the team members looked at the people who were looking at them pleadingly.
The captain frowned slightly and said decisively, "You three stay here to protect these people and evacuate them. I'll go back and see if there's any chance to sabotage them."
However, after waiting for two seconds, the team member responded with a wry smile: "Captain, I'm afraid we can't escape."
The captain turned his head in surprise.
Only then did they realize that the road they came from had been blocked by a dense swarm of [hounds] without them knowing when.
At a glance, there are at least tens of thousands of them.
This is a complete... [Hound] Corps!
The people in the town were also in despair.
Some people even lost their fighting spirit, dropped their weapons, sat on the ground and waited for death.
The [Hound] Corps separated, and a fat figure three meters tall was carried by a dozen dwarf creatures and walked out from the back of the [Hound] camp.
"Hehehe..."
Zeman put his feet on the head of a dwarf each, leaned his fat body forward, and his eyes were full of sarcasm and mockery.
The corners of his fat-filled mouth were pulled to the sides, forming an ugly smile:
"Stay here quietly. I don't want to prepare a table of sour food for the guests."
"Hehehe..."
The [hounds] growled restlessly.
The captain opened his mouth and looked in shock at the blood-stained piece of cloth hanging on Seman's chest.
There is a pattern painted on the piece of cloth.
The pattern represents the bloodthirsty legion that is currently wreaking havoc on the front lines and fighting endlessly with their main force.
The flag made of human skin flying high on the seat behind Zeman indicates his status.
The leader of the bloodthirsty legion...bloodthirsty Zeman.
"He...why is he here..."
One of the team members shuddered violently, took a step back subconsciously, and his voice was full of fear.
Zeeman no longer paid attention to them.
The oily green eyes looked up at the sky, where a blood-red ship's hull was extending outward little by little from the depths of the vortex.
