Chapter 224.2: Correct Way of Using Anti-Aircraft Guns

Escape was definitely impossible.

The marauders had surrounded the dormitory building, and the guards who were stuck in the building had no way out.

And no one was going to quit.

They had already given up the North Gate.

If they gave up defending the dormitory building, there would be no more reliable cover to hold, and those marauders would completely occupy the entire town.

This was the last line of defense!

After an intense exchange of fire, marauders had taken control of the stairs on the side of the dormitory building and threw a grenade up.

Fire roared everywhere, and the gunfire upstairs stopped suddenly.

Just when the marauders squatting beside the stairs were about to rush upstairs, the sound of gunshot suddenly sounded from the darkness on the side at this critical moment.

"

Ah-da-da-da-

!" Rushing to the front line from the rear, Tail mimicked the sound of gunshots with her mouth excitedly while raking the wall of the dormitory building.

Bullets were flying everywhere.

It wasn't just the sound made by the full-power bullets that terrified people, but the debris and dust that was knocked off the wall.

The marauders who were about to rush upstairs were taken aback by the sudden burst of fire in the dark. They thought that the survivors' reinforcements had arrived, so they did not dare to continue rushing upstairs. Instead, they raised their guns and returned fire towards the source of the fire.

The bullets whizzed over, almost scratching Tail's face in the chaos..

Sisi, who was agile and had a fast reaction, pulled the reckless woman who was rushing too fast back.

At almost the same time, a dense rain of bullets hit the stack of red bricks in front of them, knocking the broken bricks down on the ground.

Being suppressed by the light machine gun and unable to lift her head at all, Tail said indignantly, leaning against the back of the cover with her rifle in her arms. "Damn it! If my bear is here!"

"I think that would probably be worse."

After letting go of the hand that held the back collar of Tail, Sisi glanced at the map on the VM screen, and was about to think about the route of the attack, but then a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face. "

Eep

? How could I forget something as important as this?!"

Tail looked at her quickly. "What's wrong?"

Sisi thought for a second and mumbled. "It's nothing,

mhm

... it doesn't matter anyway, our reinforcements have arrived."

"Huh?! So fast?"

"Look over there."

Looking at the startled Tail, Sisi stretched out her hand, pointed to the house on the south, and continued, "Remember that building? That's our save point."

Although there were not as many people here as the outposts, those who came to Longevity Town for missions in this weather were basically Combat Profession players, if not high level players.

At the same time when the battle situation on the front line became critical, in the save point on the south side of Longevity Town, more than 90 clone nurturing cabins opened simultaneously.

With the sound of leaking air, many players sat up from the dormant cabins open hatches.

Drumhead Washing Machine roared the moment he emerged, "God damn it, I was just having lunch! Do Devs have no family members?"

Battlefield Cheerleader quickly quipped at the side, "Hahaha, I was eating too! I made dumplings at home, and I just ate a plate when someone in the group said that there's a limited time event!"

Darkest added, "Hurry up! I was only halfway through my takeout! I need to finish the mission before it gets cold. I spent twenty yuan on that food. I don't want to waste it!"

Battlefield Cheerleader yelled, "Where's Spring Water? Yo, dumbass, hurry up and lead the team!"

Spring Water Commander, who was busy putting on his exoskeleton, couldn't help but curse, "Fuck you! Why are you talking to your dad like that?"

"Stop talking shit." With the rifle in his hand loaded, Battlefield Cheerleader rolled his eyes at him, "What's the use of wearing this? I never saw you charging into the enemy lines with it."

"You don't know shit!" Spring Water Commander scolded, pulled up his trousers and put on his shoes, "If I fall down, are you going to lead the team?"

The gear was just right next to the cabin.

The preparations were completed within half a minute, some players had already left, and a small number of players had assembled individually.

In the shortest time, the number of the players was counted. There were exactly 20 people who were organized into two teams.

Spring Water Commander immediately ordered, "Team A follow Battlefield to the front line to distract the enemy and reinforce the NPCs in the unfinished building. Team B follow me to circle around the east wall, targeting the north gate. We need to cut off their escape route!"

"Those damn NPC monsters have no sense of honor. They actually learned from us to do night raids!"

"Let's go tell them now, what is the real tactical interposition!"

The players' fighting spirit was high.

Especially Darkest. He was so excited that he fired two shots towards the ceiling.

"

Awooo

!"

"Fuck them!"

...

1 kilometer north of Longevity Town.

Hearing the incessant gunshots in front of him, Gray Wolf took out his rusty pocket watch and glanced at it, frowning slightly.

It had been half an hour since they captured the north gate, and it had been a while before his fierce general Wang Tuo set off.

It stood to reason that this battle should have ended long ago.

However, for some reason, the sound of gunfire from the front line became more and more intense, and there was no sign of ending after a long time of fighting.

Did their reinforcements arrive?

Impossible...

It was at least 10 kilometers from Clearspring City to this place, and the snow along the road even reached the knees. Even if they had transportation, they would not be much faster than travelling on foot.

Even if they responded at the first moment of the attack, it was conservatively estimated that it would take them an hour to rush over from the city.

And that was assuming they had reinforcements.

𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

People wouldn't fall from the sky, would they?

"Why isn't it over yet?"

Gray Wolf felt a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, and his intuition on the battlefield told him that the teams that had entered the wall might be in trouble.

Picking up the binoculars, he glanced in the direction of Longevity Town.

The concrete wall blocked the view, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside the wall.

However, at this moment, a few figures suddenly appeared in Gray Wolf's field of vision, and they were panic-stricken as they stumbled out of the north gate.

Gray Wolf was slightly taken aback.

When he saw the faces of those people and the equipment on their bodies, his eyes instantly widened, his eyes almost falling out.

Those deserters were none other than his followers.

"Boss, the situation on the front line doesn't seem to be very good..."

The scout standing by the side swallowed his saliva. He had an ominous premonition for a while now, but he never dared to say it.

That feeling was only getting stronger.

"What are these idiots doing?!"

They had more than a hundred people fighting against a mere forty or so rookies, but they actually ended up losing the fight!

Gray Wolf couldn't help cursing, wishing to chop off the heads of the squad leaders and feed them to the dogs.

The hyena, which was crawling at his feet, suddenly bristled all over his body, and let out a low growl from its bared teeth.

The irritable Gray Wolf didn't have time to appease it, so he impatiently said. "Wait, I'll have something for you later."

The hyena whimpered, bit his trousers and tried to pull him back. Gray Wolf, who couldn't hold back his irritation anymore, kicked the beast aside and walked to the front of his other four confidants.

"Bring your men."

"By the way, kill those deserters for me."

"Yes!"

The squad leaders took the lead, and with the eager marauders, they aggressively rushed the north gate of Longevity Town.

Gray Wolf took out a flare gun from his arms and fired a shot at the sky.

This flare gun was personally handed to him by the brigade commander Lion Fang, who ordered him to send a signal immediately after capturing the survivor settlement. He was told that the reinforcements would arrive in batches after he sent the signal.

Although it was a little early, he felt that it was almost time.

The flickering phosphorescence flew in the sky, like a beacon illuminating the night sky.

Gray Wolf squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Longevity Town. The deserters had been shot dead, and more than 40 people had approached the north gate of the town and were about to enter.

However, at this moment, two lights suddenly lit up in the darkness, from the east side of Longevity Town, getting closer and closer.

The first to discover the abnormality, the scout beside him exclaimed, "Boss! It's a truck!"

Gray Wolf was startled. He quickly raised the binoculars, looked in the direction of the two lights, and saw a truck speeding on the snow.

Wait...

It’s speeding?!

What's with that speed?!

It wasn't until the truck continued to drive forward for a while that Gray Wolf finally saw it clearly. He discovered that under the chassis of the truck, there were no tires at all, but two black tracks...

Those tracks even seemed to be made of rubber.

Gray Wolf's expression changed instantly.

Especially when he saw what was on the back of the truck, there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

Four thick and long cannon barrels were connected in series, pointing directly at the north gate of Longevity Town, aiming at his marauders who were on the wall, and the more than forty soldiers who had just reached the gate.

The truck came to a stop on a gentle slope.

The quadruple cannons that were originally slightly raised on the rear compartment were lowered.

In next second...

The thick and long flames emerged without warning.

The loud cannon blast resounded throughout the snowfield, and orange-yellow trail lights were like spears piercing the night. In just a few breaths, dozens of high-explosive bombs poured into the snow in front of the north gate!

There was no time to escape, and there was nowhere to hide.

More than 40 marauders that had just reached the north gate were like mosquitoes that had been slapped to death on the wall. In an instant, they were either blown up or directly blasted into pieces before they could even let out a scream. All of them collapsed instantly like wheat being cut in the field.

"No!" Their eyes turned bloodshot as Gray Wolf let out a desperate roar from his hoarse throat, as if blood was dripping in his heart.

Those people were his confidants!

It was the force he had accumulated over the past few months with painstaking efforts!

And now...

Everything burst like a bubble.

The marauders who occupied the wall in the distance were frightened by the sudden explosion and jumped off the wall in a panic.

The battle took a turn for the worse.

The sudden and rapid gunshots seemed to be the last madness.

The center of gravity of the battlefield was pushed back to the north gate again, and more and more deserters appeared, fleeing from the north gate as if terrified.

It was a shame that was just the beginning of their nightmare.

This fortress, standing alone in the wasteland, was surrounded by white snow that could even completely bury the trenches.

The quadruple cannons mounted on the truck had apparently been reloaded.

What was waiting for them was a slaughter!

Looking at the tragic battle in the distance, Gray Wolf felt like a piece of ice had been stuffed in his throat. The chill and powerlessness that went deep into his bones reminded him of the purgatory he had seen in the north.

The scout standing beside him was trembling all over.

"Boss, boss... are we... going to continue fighting?"

Continue?

Continue with what?

There was a bitter expression on Gray Wolf's face, and he looked to the northwest. He stared at the Elm District, about 9 kilometers away.

That might be his only way to survive.

No vehicles were able to pass through the dense forest. As long as he passed through the forest, he had the opportunity to return to Remote Creek Town in the north and join the main force...

But then what?

Looking at the signal flare slowly falling from the sky, Gray Wolf looked at the scout beside him.

"You go northwest and go back through the woods."

The scout was stunned. "But, what about you?"

Gray Wolf glanced south. "I'll try to delay them as much as possible for you."
