Chapter 261: Human-Eating Demon, Raid (Ch 261)

The man paused, his tone relaxed.

“Here? Don’t worry. Let me tell you, my cousin’s third aunt’s nephew is working in the military logistics department.”

“He secretly told me that the brothers who were exploring the way ahead were almost running their legs off. They had traveled hundreds of miles and hadn’t even seen a single alien.”

“The adults in the ancestral land are all top-notch smart people. They have already figured out the situation.”

“In our direction, either the old nest has been emptied out long ago, or it is some unlucky race that is in a mess at home and has no energy to care about us.”

He patted Wang Xiaogang on the shoulder and chuckled.

“Do you think that the higher-ups have nothing better to do than to send us here?”

“If there really was danger, the elite troops would have come here long ago.”

Wang Xiaogang seemed to understand what he heard, but his brows were still furrowed.

He simply threw down the stone in his hand and was too lazy to pretend to work anymore.

He took out a pot of cheap wine from the dormitory, found a hillside sheltered from the wind, and climbed up.

He found a crooked tree, sat down, pulled out the cork, and took a big gulp.

The spicy wine rushed down my throat.

But it failed to dispel the irritability in my heart, instead it added a bit of bitterness.

His parents are both veterans of the military.

Growing up in a military compound, all I saw and heard was fighting on the battlefield and defending my country.

When he was very young, his parents died in the war with foreign races, and he was raised by the military.

On the day of his job awakening, he chose to join the military without any hesitation.

Rather than saying it is inheriting the parents’ will, it is more like a destiny engraved in our bones.

Troubled times are coming, and doomsday is approaching.

Most people were terrified, as if they had lost their parents.

Wang Xiaogang was surprisingly calm, even a little excited.

The opportunity to achieve success has finally come.

He tried his best to apply to go to the front line in Huaiyun Province, eager to fight like his parents and protect the human race.

But for some unknown reason, the military assigned him to the peaceful Plateau Province.

The border here is stable and there is almost no war.

It was incompatible with his passion.

The days of guarding the position were boring. Apart from daily patrols, there was endless construction of fortifications.

This kind of calmness made him feel extremely bored, and the frustration of being a hero without a place to use his talents gnawed at his heart.

Wang Xiaogang tightened the grip on the fine steel spear in his hand; the cold touch slightly calmed his inner restlessness.

This is the only relic left by my father.

The fine lines and traces of time on the gun body silently tell of the glory of the past.

Quietly open the personal attribute panel, the first thing that catches your eye is the occupation information.

Basic profession, warrior;

Second change of direction, gunfight.

Ordinary, too ordinary, just like 99% of the soldiers in the military, mediocre to the dust.

However, if someone could glimpse his hidden talent.

The entry that glows with a strange red light will surely horrify you to the point of being speechless.

[Soul Chain (God): Use the Soul Chain to bind a certain number of friendly forces. Within the length of the chain, all the friendly forces share attributes, lifespan, and damage.]

[The number of chains is related to the level of the talent owner]

God-level talent!

Soul chains!

Wang Xiaogang has always kept this secret deep in his heart.

The moment he awakened his talent, he chose to hide it.

He just made up an extremely mediocre talent to get away with it.

He knew very well that this talent, especially the ability to share lifespan.

Once exposed to the public, it will definitely bring about unpredictable disasters.

But it is precisely this powerful talent that makes him full of ambition for his future career development.

In terms of skill selection, he almost all chose the types that involve charging into battle and strengthening oneself.

Just so that one day I can make a big splash with this incredible ability.

Completely get rid of the reputation of mediocrity and become a hero of the human race like your parents.

“I say, Lao Wang,” the comrade beside him poked Wang Xiaogang’s arm, interrupting his thoughts, “Are you distracted again? What beautiful things are you thinking about?”

“Hmm? What’s that noise?”

Suddenly, a chaotic sound of charge horns came from afar, breaking the silence of the position.

Wang Xiaogang sat up straight abruptly, and the drunkenness instantly dissipated.

Instead, there is a strong sense of crisis.

He immediately stood up, climbed to the top of the hill, squinted his eyes, and looked into the distance.

The next moment, the scene that came into his eyes made his pupils suddenly shrink.

His face turned pale in an instant, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

There was a dark mass on the distant horizon.

Like a moving tide, countless figures were swarming towards the position.

The dust was flying and the air was filled with murderous intent.

Densely packed alien warriors, ferocious faces, weapons gleaming with metallic luster,

In the afterglow of the setting sun, it creates a desperate picture.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Alien army! Quick! Quick! Quick!”

Wang Xiaogang roared at the top of his lungs towards the camp at the foot of the mountain.

The voice became sharp and hoarse due to extreme fear.

Without caring about anything else, he staggered down the hillside and ran desperately towards the camp.

He ran and shouted, trying to convey this sudden situation to his comrades on the position.

But with such a big commotion, there was no need for him to remind the camp’s defenders.

The deafening sound of the horn was mixed with faint vibrations from the ground.

It had already awakened them from their dreams and made them run around in panic.

However, the moment they saw the scene outside the camp clearly, they felt as if their spines were pulled out.

All the color drained from his face, leaving only a hopeless look.

Almost the entire ogre clan came out in full force.

It covers the sky and the sun, and there is no end in sight.

The number and momentum were like a flood that broke through a dam, ready to completely engulf this small position.

The four words “a mantis trying to stop a chariot” accurately describe the desperate situation we are facing.

Wang Xiaogang ran to the edge of the camp and what came into his sight was the simple defense line that had already collapsed.

The wooden fence was smashed to pieces and the sandbag fortifications were in tatters.

The human warriors were easily overturned like straw in the wind.

There were wails, roars, and the sound of weapons clashing.

Mixed with the ogre’s excited howls, it formed a horrifying death melody.

Several soldiers had been roughly placed on a makeshift fire, with thick smoke and a pungent smell of burning.

The flames licked their bodies and their heart-wrenching screams cut through the night sky.

The comrade who had analyzed the situation for him with confidence during the day was also among the struggling crowd.

He was covered in blood and his face was covered in bruises, and it was obvious that he had been severely beaten.

Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of Wang Xiaogang peeking out from behind the house.

The originally scattered eyes suddenly focused, bursting out with a strange light.

“Run!” He roared with all his strength, his voice hoarse and cracked, trembling with despair.

“Run! Leave us alone! Go to the city and report the news! Run!”

Each shout was like a heavy hammer, hitting Wang Xiaogang’s heart hard.

He froze in his tracks.

The fine steel spear held tightly in his hand trembled slightly.

Try to calm the chill that penetrates deep into your bones.

He gritted his teeth and took one last deep look in the direction of his comrades.

The figure had become blurred under the siege of the ogres.

Then, he turned around resolutely and ran wildly in the opposite direction of the battlefield.

Only at this moment did he suddenly remember that he hadn’t even asked the name of his comrade.
