1583. Death rock

In a formation, 35 Clone Troopers disembarked from the LAAT/I assault transport boat and shot at a few scattered Corpse Puppets ahead without hesitation!

The crimson blaster beam exploded on Corpse Puppet's body, one of which directly hit the hole in Corpse Puppet's abdomen that was pierced by Dragon's Tooth, directly blowing Corpse Puppet into two pieces from here.

Then there was a terrible roar from some buildings, and more Corpse Puppet rushed out!

But these Clone Trooper didn't panic at all. They only saw Sergeant Major with the green armband making a few gestures. The soldiers immediately dispersed and took their positions, and Blaster rifle fired accurately.

Not only are their marksmanship accurate, but they also have a wide field of vision, and their peripheral vision is also looking in other directions when shooting forward. Several Corpse Puppets that tried to climb over from the nearby wall for a sneak attack were also directly shot in the head.

One of them, Clone Trooper, took out a device and scanned the surrounding area.

"Is this here?" the clone sergeant asked.

"That's right. The fuel warehouse is 300 meters ahead, and one of the pipelines in the warehouse is at our feet." Clone Trooper answered.

"Then clear this area, and then let the engineering team come over." The clone sergeant said, "Work as a team! Clear all the buildings within 30 minutes!"

"Yes!"

Clone Trooper The people immediately dispersed and entered those buildings in groups of five. Soon there were gunfire, but it soon calmed down.

In front of these elite Kaminoan clone troopers, these ordinary Corpse Puppet are simply a group of living targets.

Group One Clone Trooper came to a small two-story building. The situation around this building moved these hard-hearted Clone Trooper.

I only saw the remains of at least hundreds of Corpse Puppet piled up tightly around the building! There were dense bullet holes almost everywhere, and a few bodies scattered around.

Obviously, there was very fierce resistance here when Corpse Puppet invaded.

A Clone Trooper looked up and said, "This is a bar, called Skull Cup."

"Oh, I hope they really made the cups out of skulls," another soldier said.

They looked at the door of the bar. The metal door had been blown open with a large gap, and the gap was filled with the remains of Corpse Puppet. A soldier threw a grenade over without hesitation.

boom!! The wreckage of Corpse Puppet was blown up in all directions, and the doorway was exposed.

A soldier looked at the two large Corpse Puppets lying at the door and the plasma cannons sewn and transplanted on their hands, and shook his head, "Poor guys, if there weren't a few big guys here, they should still be able to hold on."

Walking into the bar, it was also a mess, with the remains of Corpse Puppet and the corpses of mercenaries everywhere. Mixed with the smell of burnt flesh and blood was a very strong smell of alcohol.

Countless wine bottles were poured on the ground, most of them empty.

"Ha, if you treat this place as a battlefield, I like it." A Clone Trooper laughed. As he spoke, he raised his hand and shot a Corpse Puppet on the stairs in the head.

They continued to search inside the bar to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks. After all, when the engineering team comes to work, one or two Corpse Puppet may be able to fatally injure those unarmed workers.

I only saw a jukebox on one side of the bar emitting electric sparks. In the middle of the jukebox, stuck upside down, was the remains of a Corpse Puppet. Although the machine has been destroyed, the playlist on the side is still working, and the only thing that should be played now is a rock song called 'Fever to Death'.

Coming to the second floor, there are more Corpse Puppet wrecks here, and there are also some sporadic Corpse Puppets wandering around.

Near the balcony, you can see the corpse of a strong human black man. He was holding a heavy machine gun tightly in his hands until his death, and bullet casings were scattered on the ground next to him.

"These guys should be mercenaries and smugglers. I met several wanted criminals on the HoloNet network." A soldier said.

"In front of Geth, the wanted criminal and the president of the country are all the same." Another soldier said.

The sergeant came to the black man's body, looked at the numerous scars on his body, and looked at the balcony next to him that had almost collapsed in half and was full of Corpse Puppet debris. He raised his hand and closed his glaring eyes, "He killed a lot of Corpse Puppet. He was quite a powerful guy."

"Bovine Doku, the bounty on his head has more than 30,000 credits!" Clone Trooper, who was checking his personal terminal next to him, said, "There are at least 17 murders and more than 40 cases of intentional injury on his head."

"The final madness of a bunch of beasts," said another.

"Sir! There's a situation downstairs!" someone said below.

The sergeant led people all the way to the basement. There was a very strong smell of alcohol, the floor was covered with alcohol, and several overturned wine racks were blocking the way. Outside the wine rack, there were still several corpses of mercenaries lying on the ground. They were entangled with the remains of Corpse Puppet, and they were still fighting fiercely even at the end.

In the deepest part, an old man was sitting leaning against the wall, holding a modified Blaster rifle that had been exploded. There were bloodstains and burn marks all over his body, and it looked like he had been injured by a blaster blast.

"They knocked down all the wine racks and used the smell of wine to confuse Corpse Puppet's perception. It was quite clever," said the sergeant.

"He's still alive." A soldier walked over to the old man and knelt down to check. "But I'm afraid he won't live long. Can I give him a shot of epinephrine?"

"There is no need to waste it on a dead man. Our next battle will be more difficult." The sergeant shook his head.

Deka raised his hand with difficulty, pointed to a small warehouse door on the ground next to him, and nodded slightly, as if to indicate that there was something there.

Clone Trooper walked over and opened the warehouse door, only to see a small space with many bullets scattered on the ground. In the middle, a frightened human dancer huddled up and trembled.

The sergeant sighed, and he understood what happened here, "This group of desperadoes, at the last moment when they were rushed in by Corpse Puppet, chose to protect the only unarmed person in this bar - this dancer."

He looked at the dying old man and the corpses at the door, and said, "No matter what kind of criminals these people were before, at least this time, they are good."

"Ho... ho..." Deka gasped, as if he wanted to say something.

The clone sergeant walked over and knelt down and said, "Tell me, old man, at least before you die, someone will be able to hear the last words you want to say. We will send this dancer to the rear. Besides, what else do you want to explain?"

Deka's lips moved, and he used the last strength of his body to spit out a few words, "Fuck you Galactic Republic..."
