Chapter 2408: Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west (two chapters in one)(1/2)
"Get out of the way."
A carriage was rushing across the street. Passers-by on both sides of the street quickly dodged and then looked angrily at the carriage going away.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood on the side of the road. Hearing the people around him whispering angrily, he stared at the carriage leaving in the distance and thought to himself.
"So arrogant, I don't know which big family he is from."
After dinner, more people came to the street to shop.
Maybe it's because there is a celebration tonight, so many people come out at night to watch the celebration performance.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was walking slowly on the street, enjoying the rare leisure time.
In the forest before, he had no leisure time most of the time.
Even if I had time to rest, I would stay in the dormitory and sleep.
The pig-headed captain, who was walking leisurely on the busy streets like this now, with a brown birthmark on his forehead, had not experienced this feeling for a long, long time.
"Asshole, you stepped on my foot."
"Uncle, I'm sorry."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead occasionally encounters some villains who bring servants to bully small traders. He has seen this kind of thing many times and is used to it.
The two figures wearing black hats not far away were foreigners after all, and they were very uncomfortable seeing innocent vendors being bullied by villains.
"I've encountered several incidents like this along the way. The security in the city is really bad!" said the short investigator.
"I don't think anyone around me is surprised. This is probably what it's like here!" the tall investigator said.
The two of them returned to the inn to rest and regain their energy. Then they came out of the inn and went shopping aimlessly on the street.
They found that tonight's celebration was more lively than expected, especially near the central area of the city. There were so many people on the street that they could not move forward smoothly.
"call out."
"boom."
Fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, and the gorgeous fireworks lit up the sky.
Passers-by on the street looked up to the sky with smiles on their faces.
The two investigators did not expect that there would be a fireworks show here. While surprised, they found that the fireworks here still seemed a bit monotonous.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead bought a skewer of barbecue on the roadside and ate it while watching the fireworks blooming above his head.
It had been three years since the last time he saw the fireworks show. He didn't expect to be able to enjoy the fireworks show here this time, but it was an unexpected surprise.
As time goes by, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreases.
After the celebration, the passers-by who had played all night went home, and the street became quiet.
Late at night, there are occasional sounds on the road, and these sounds come from soldiers patrolling at night.
"Roar……"
After nightfall, it becomes very dangerous outside the city. Even close to the city, you can see some strange beasts wandering around.
During the day, the strange beasts dare not approach the city, but at night, these strange beasts become more courageous.
"call out."
A harsh sound broke through the air, and a strange beast dozens of meters away from the city wall was pinned to the ground and struggled for a few times before swallowing its breath.
The soldiers on the city wall will attack and kill the alien beasts when they are very close to the city wall. Of course, sometimes due to line of sight problems, they cannot find traces of the alien beasts and can only let them wander around the city wall.
One kilometer away from Zecheng, there is a very lush forest.
At this moment, a black bird stood on a big tree in the woods. After receiving the order, this bird had been staring at the city in the distance since it came here.
"Soldiers have been mobilized frequently in the city these days. Could it be that our news has been leaked?"
The black bird felt a little confused, then he flapped his wings and flew forward to report the results of his observations over the past few days to his superior.
…………
In Rongcheng, at dawn, an alarm suddenly sounded in a mining area in the wild.
"Woo..."
The piercing alarm sounded throughout the mining area, and the miners who were resting in the mining area woke up instantly.
The security guards standing guard all looked alert, looking at the dark place in the distance.
"There are a lot of psychic fluctuations around, please be careful." The security captain shouted to his colleagues, then he picked up a big knife, quickly climbed up to the observation deck and looked into the distance.
Soon, everyone noticed several strange beasts appearing in the distance.
These exotic animals vary in size, some are two or three times the size of an adult elephant, some are only about one meter, and some are even smaller.
"It's a group of alien beasts." When the security captain saw so many alien beasts appearing in the distance, his expression became extremely nervous, and then he hurriedly asked someone to call for support.
The quiet mining area suddenly entered a state of war, with everyone holding weapons and preparing to fight.
The giant alien beast in the lead leads the way. If its huge body crashes into the wall, it can easily break through the wall and rush into the mining area to wreak havoc.
Suddenly there was a roar in the sky, and an armed helicopter appeared in the sky.
The leading giant alien beast immediately slowed down after hearing the noise, then raised its head and looked up at the sky.
"call out."
A rocket flew out and hit the alien beast.
"boom."
The leading alien beast was hit by a rocket, and flames rose up. The surrounding flowers, plants and trees were affected and were directly blown to pieces.
"Backup is coming."
"They are investigators, not our support force..."
"It would be better if you are an investigator."
"Yes, with the investigators here, these strange beasts can't even try to break through our walls."
The security guards were very happy, and then they saw the helicopter gunships in the sky firing several more rockets to attack the alien beasts.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The rockets exploded among the beasts, and the people who were hit by the explosion were thrown off their backs.
In fact, despite the fact that the explosion effect of rockets is very good, the current killing effect of this kind of thermal weapon on rough-skinned and thick-skinned animals is quite poor.
After the dust caused by the explosion dispersed, many strange beasts could be seen injured, but none of them were fatal.
With the tenacious vitality of the alien beasts, it won't take long for these minor injuries to recover as before.
Inside the wall, the security guards who were on standby looked at the groups of strange beasts in the distance, and the tension in their hearts was actually not very serious.
Their biggest reliance at the moment is the investigators in the sky. With the investigators at the scene, everyone feels that there is nothing to fear from the alien beasts in the distance.
"Roar……"
The leading alien beast was hit by several rockets, and blood was pouring out from the wounds on its body. It roared angrily at the armed helicopter in the sky. At this time, it gave people the impression of incompetence and rage.
"Rumble..."
There was another roar in the distance, and several more armed helicopters arrived.
The group of alien beasts looked at the armed helicopters in the sky and thought about retreating.
As the leading alien beast roared, all the alien beasts began to retreat into the distance.
It didn't take long for the alien beasts to completely leave.
"Captain, they have all left." An investigator on the armed helicopter said.
"They are wise." A middle-aged man said, and then ordered to leave the place.
Security guards inside the mine saw the armed helicopter leaving and gave the all-clear.
"If investigators hadn't arrived at the scene, those strange beasts would have definitely rushed in."
"I didn't expect the investigators to respond so quickly."
"I heard that some reconnaissance weapons have been deployed nearby. If there is a herd of strange beasts approaching, we will receive the news immediately."
"I see, that way we don't have to worry."
The security guards were talking a lot. Some of the security guards returned to their original positions, while others went back to their dormitories to continue sleeping.
The armed helicopter returned to the base, and the investigators got off the helicopter one by one.
The base in front of me was built last week. The reason why such a base was built in the wild is because there are many places in the wild for mining.
In order to be able to support those mining areas as soon as possible in the event of an accident, investigators built a base here that can accommodate helicopters.
"Captain, the meeting time is coming soon..." A girl came to the middle-aged man and reminded him.
"Yeah." The middle-aged man nodded and quickly walked to a building in the base.
The projector was turned on, and Xie Yurong, the head of the Superpower Management Bureau, appeared in front of everyone.
