The area around the campsite.
Lü Wenrui stared wide-eyed into the distance.
The dark shadows surged in like a tidal wave.
"No, what the heck is this?"
"You said we only needed to deal with the Calamity Beast approaching the base?!"
"So, a whole bunch of Calamity Beast will come to one base?"
Han Ling and Tang Yuanyang frowned and stared at that spot.
The scene before them was vastly different from what they had learned.
This difference will directly lead to a sharp increase in the difficulty of their tasks.
The simplest and most direct way.
Originally, they might have only been facing a few or a dozen Calamity Beast.
But now, that number might skyrocket to dozens!
Shen Heng stared intently at the Calamity Beast approaching from afar.
He glanced at the noisy campsite beside him, then quickly looked back.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"It must be that the Calamity Beast in the Erosion Zone have taken appropriate action."
"What's the appropriate response?" Lü Wenrui looked over in confusion.
Tang Yuanyang pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Shen Heng.
"You mean the attacks of the past few days made the Calamity Beast realize that the previous methods were pointless, so they changed to today's format?"
Shen Heng gazed into the distance and nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Lü Wenrui frowned immediately.
"No, why did they have to change it right when we arrived?"
Although he had anticipated that he couldn't completely rely on previous experience, encountering a different situation on the first day was indeed... Shen Heng suddenly noticed Tang Yuanyang's gaze and turned to look at Lü Wenrui.
Shen Heng was slightly taken aback, and as if he had thought of something, he also looked over.
Seeing the two of them like this, Han Ling belatedly looked over as well.
Seeing that all three were looking at him, Lü Wenrui was first puzzled, then seemed to understand something and quickly paused.
"I... this..." Lü Wenrui opened his mouth, "Would you believe me if I said this has nothing to do with me?"
"I didn't say this had anything to do with you," Tang Yuanyang replied as if nothing had happened, turning his gaze aside.
Lü Wenrui's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth...
"Boom! Boom boom boom boom--"
Shells flew out and crashed down on the oncoming horde of beasts.
Qin Ye stared at the screen with a furrowed brow.
Even though he could see one fallen Calamity Beast after another on the screen, and those flying limbs, there wasn't a trace of joy on his face.
His gaze was fixed on a small area on the screen.
A Calamity Beast, lying horizontally in mid-air, rushed towards this direction.
A closer look reveals that the Calamity Beast was not alive, but already dead!
What truly propelled him forward was the sharp horn piercing his abdomen, and the enormous black shadow lurking behind his body!
The Calamity Beast... is using its dead kin as shields to advance!!!
Looking at the increasingly clear image on the screen, Qin Ye said coldly:
"Distance!"
A few tapping sounds came from the side, and the person corresponding to the keyword began to operate and check the data.
"Report: The foremost Calamity Beast is about 7km away from us!"
"What about the quantity?"
The estimated number is around 150-180!
"To what extent can the number of Calamity Beast be reduced before they arrive?"
"This..."
"Say!"
"Yes, based on the experience of the past few days, we should be able to reduce it to around twenty or thirty heads."
"But this time, several Fourth Tier Calamity Beast appeared, and they even used their own kind as shields."
"Based on the current situation, we estimate that there will be another fifty or sixty of these Calamity Beast by the time they reach us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent fell silent.
Humans can use firepower to eliminate powerful individuals many times their size from a distance, but that's only limited to a distance.
Limited by weapon power and the reaction speed of normal people, even professionally trained soldiers armed with firearms would find it difficult to deal with high-level or group-type Calamity Beast once Calamity Beast get close to the surrounding area.
At that time, even those who are relatively strong compared to ordinary people will be nothing more than lambs to the slaughter in front of the Calamity Beast.
"Squad leader, what do we do now?" one of the operators asked, turning around.
Qin Ye looked at the operator and noticed that she looked a little nervous, and her forehead was covered with small beads of sweat.
He turned to look at the others in the temporary command post and realized that they all had similar expressions.
Some looked tense, others trembled slightly...
Even though he was told beforehand that the mission would be dangerous, and even wrote his last words, would he still be afraid...? Qin Ye lowered his gaze and turned to the computer screen.
"Continue. We'll retreat to the armored vehicles and tanks when the Calamity Beast get within 1km. Now I'm going to..."
Qin Ye suddenly stopped halfway through his speech.
He kept turning his head and looking around, as if searching for something.
After a moment, he opened his mouth and said:
"Can..."
He stopped again before he could finish speaking.
He nodded and said;
"Okay, I understand!"
Several soldiers around Qin Ye stared wide-eyed, wondering what he was doing.
I didn't care what the others thought, and now is not the time to explain.
Qin Ye looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"When the Calamity Beast reaches about 3km, everyone immediately leave, get into the tanks and armored vehicles, and then drive away."
"Then these Calamity Beast..." one person asked hesitantly.
Qin Ye stared intently at the screen.
" The Calamity Beast' will be dealt with by the comrades from the Supervision Bureau..."
"Boom--"
The ground shook, and a horde of beasts surged forth.
I said...
Looking at the dense, dark shadows, Lü Wenrui couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Do we really have to fight so many Calamity Beast?"
"What, are you trying to run away?" Tang Yuanyang turned his gaze to Lü Wenrui.
"No, Captain, I hadn't thought about that, but there are just too many of these Calamity Beast. And more importantly, you're all at Fourth Tier, while I'm only at Third Tier!" Lü Wenrui shouted.
At only the Third Tier, surviving in such a beast tide would indeed be quite difficult.
"I see..." Shen Heng, who had just finished a conversation on the other end, turned his head back.
"How is it?" Lü Wenrui turned to look at Shen Heng.
"The ordinary soldiers will retreat in a moment, and you will be responsible for assisting their evacuation," Shen Heng said.
"What about the other Calamity Beast?"
"We'll take care of the other Calamity Beast," Shen Heng said, looking at Tang Yuanyang.
Tang Yuanyang nodded slightly, indicating that he had no objections.
Seeing that his captain had agreed, Lü Wenrui nodded in agreement as well.
"Okay, I understand."
