Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 194 The Tip of the Iceberg
On the African continent, night seems to fall very quickly. Just as we see the sunset turn red, the sky is filled with stars.
Here is a bush, more than one meter tall, with dry and messy branches that obscure the scenery in the distance.
At this time, a blazing bonfire was burning under a big tree in the bushes.
Li Jiu and his group were scattered around the campfire.
The destination of this mission was so far away that after a day of traveling, they had only covered half the distance.
When night fell, the exhausted crowd had to find this place temporarily to rest for a night before continuing their journey.
At this time, Kaqi was sitting by the campfire with Bella and Elva, eating food and drinking water brought from the legion base.
As for the other male team members, they each found a place, hugged their weapons, and took a rest.
In addition, the two teams sent out two veterans, Uncle John and Brown, to be responsible for the first shift of night watch outside the crowd.
"Inhale...exhale..." Li Jiu sat on the ground leaning against a big tree, holding a Sabre brand cigarette in his mouth. He took a deep puff and recalled his experiences after leaving the valley.
While crossing the grassland, he and his team saw the front battlefield in the distance...
Speaking of which, the route chosen by Li Jiu and his team this time can be said to be right next to the edge of the front battlefield, only about ten miles away.
Therefore, on the flat and vast grassland, although they did not enter the battlefield, they also glimpsed some scenes on the battlefield from afar.
On that huge battlefield, countless combat vehicles of various types were suspended in the air, fighting fiercely. On the ground, there were densely packed soldiers from both sides, some holding conventional weapons, some operating various war machines, and fighting desperately.
Among them, some flying cars are as huge as the Towering Building!
These giant combat vehicles have even larger and more powerful shields on their surfaces, and it is difficult to break them no matter how hard the artillery fire is!
The attacks fired from the super-large artillery on these giant vehicles can easily kill a large number of infantry on the ground, or many small combat vehicles shuttling across the battlefield, such as Hunter vehicles, with just one strike.
They are quietly suspended in the air and do not move easily, like an aerial fortress.
Some flying cars, like the hunter flying car that Li Jiu and his team had seen before, were only more than ten meters long.
These smaller flying cars shuttled swiftly across the battlefield, sometimes sweeping the enemies on the ground, sometimes hitting the giant flying cars that were attacking the enemy, and sometimes trying their best to avoid the hail of bullets...
In short, the entire battlefield was extremely vast, stretching for who knows how many kilometers, and the fighting on the battlefield was like the destruction of the world, which was terrifying!
Li Jiu and his companions only watched for a moment, but they were already unable to estimate how many soldiers from both sides had been killed in such a short period of time...
Even in the air on the grassland, one could smell the strong smell of gunpowder and the pungent smell of blood coming from the distant battlefield.
However, the scenes they saw were only the tip of the iceberg on the edge of the entire battlefield...
To be honest, the scale of the frontal battlefield was beyond Li Jiu's expectations...
Although he had long known that the war between the Alliance and the Defenders was a global battlefield, a war that would determine the fate of mankind.
However, the price paid by both sides to win the war was too high, wasn't it?
What made him even more depressed was that Seth said that this direct war seemed to be just because both sides were competing for a rare mineral deposit...
Li Jiu really didn't understand how rare the mineral deposits were that were worth sacrificing so many lives of both sides? Could it be that the value of those mineral deposits was really so high?
Or is it that the fight for the mineral deposit is just an excuse, and the fundamental reason is that the two sides have different ideas on how to deal with the super-intelligent "God"?
Although Li Jiu believed that no matter what the reason was, it was not worth it for both sides to engage in such a brutal war, but if he had to find an excuse for the war, then he would be more inclined to the latter reason.
After all, whether to destroy or support the super-intelligent "God" is a question that concerns the future destiny of the entire human race!
Perhaps, for this reason, both sides would really rather decide the winner at all costs...
Just as Li Jiu was deep in thought, one of Scar Brother's men suddenly woke up in a daze and wanted to find a place to relieve himself.
With the help of the campfire, I could see that this guy had a big face full of pockmarks, a pair of long triangular eyes, and a slightly crooked mouth... He was none other than the Japanese soldier who was playing Cuju at the foot of the mountain.
This guy still had some sense of shame. After seeing three female team members on the scene, he was too embarrassed to pee nearby. He just walked away and wanted to hide in the nearby bushes to relieve himself.
"Yamashita, what are you doing?" Brown, a veteran soldier on night watch from the Seventh Squad, frowned when he saw Daisy Yamashita walking toward the outside of the crowd.
"What am I going to do? Do I have to report to you, old man? Damn it!" Daisy Yamashita wiped the saliva that had flowed to her chin while she was sleeping soundly. Then she shook her hand fiercely, rolled her eyes at Brown, and said arrogantly.
"You..." Hearing Daisy's dirty words, Brown was so angry that the blood vessels in his neck popped out, and he really wanted to rush up and beat the short guy up.
Speaking of which, veteran Brown had always been at odds with this Japanese soldier because he was disgusted by the fact that Daisy Yamashita and Wilkie showed off their affection every day in the Fifth Squad.
However, he had asked this question just now with good intentions.
Because Brown was a veteran who had retired from the Fourth Army, he knew very well that the African grasslands at night were full of dangers and deadly hazards.
Especially for warriors in the wilderness, they must not only be alert to enemies that may suddenly appear, but also be aware of some dangerous non-human creatures...
Because they were both members of the Fifth Team, he wanted to remind Yamashita Hinagiku not to stray too far from the crowd to avoid any sudden danger that might prevent others from coming to his rescue in time.
But he didn't expect that guy to be so ungrateful.
"Hmph!" Veteran Brown changed his mind and barely suppressed the anger in his heart. He snorted coldly, with a hint of sneer on .
Daisy at the foot of the mountain didn't pay much attention to Brown, and walked unsteadily towards the dark bushes in the distance...
