Chapter 97 The Ultimate Terror!

Soon, two soldiers drove the armored vehicle back in a hurry, their faces full of anxiety and panic.

Before the car stopped, a soldier jumped out of the car in a hurry and reported to the commander: "Captain, the situation is very urgent! The streets are full of eaters, the number is amazing. They are chasing a group of rebels and coming towards us!

"How many eaters are there?" The commander asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid there are tens of thousands, or even more! There is no end in sight. It is expected that the group of eaters will reach us within ten minutes! "

Ten minutes?

Tens of thousands?

After listening to the soldier's report, everyone became panicked and a panic commotion broke out among the crowd.

After listening, Su Rui and the commander looked at Li Hongqi, who was using his sense of smell to remove the mineworms.

Li Hongqi was also anxious at the moment and urged his subordinates to speed up the progress.

However, everyone knew that time was running out.

After thinking for a while, the commander proposed to Li Hongqi: "Can we use these corpses on the ground to detonate the mineworms? We have a lot of corpses to use. Will this increase the speed of mine clearance?"

Li Hongqi locked the position of the mineworms with his sense of smell while directing his subordinates to carefully pick them out with wooden sticks.

After successfully removing another one, he frowned and responded: "This is totally not possible!"

"Why?" The commander looked puzzled.

"These mutant earthworms have a characteristic. Once one is detonated, the others will run around underground and change their original positions. If it were normal, it wouldn't matter, but now..."

"What's wrong now?"

"I just detected them through my sense of smell, and I can smell them at least a hundred meters away. This means that once we try to detonate a few of them, they may flee in large areas. This will not only make our previous efforts go to waste, but worse, they may drill directly under our feet. By then, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to escape."

A hundred meters away?

How many mineworms are hidden under the ground ahead?

After listening to Li Hongqi's words, everyone looked far away at the end of the minefield, and their hearts were filled with panic and anxiety. A sense of powerlessness arose, as if it bound them tightly.

Su Rui then asked: "Such a long distance, are you sure you can finish the cleanup within half an hour?"

Li Hongqi said helplessly: "Almost okay, but it can only barely allow vehicles to pass, and cannot accommodate two vehicles driving side by side. "

After hearing his words, Su Rui and the commander realized the seriousness of the situation.

The commander made a prompt decision and began to make arrangements: "All soldiers, listen to the order! Immediately set up positions in the direction of the group of eaters! Prepare all ammunition! Once the eaters enter the range, open fire immediately! Don't be stingy with ammunition! This is a life-and-death battle, we must buy time to clear the mines and earthworms!"

The soldiers heard the words and immediately began to prepare nervously.

They just breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect to fall into a new crisis, and their mood was extremely heavy.

At the same time, Su Rui also made arrangements quickly.

He walked to the side of the convoy, explained the situation to Professor Liu and others with a serious face, and made emergency deployments.

"Lao Liu, let our people use hot weapons to participate in the battle later. But there is a premise, no one can get off the car! Once the situation is not good or the military's position is broken, we must drive to break through immediately! "

Professor Liu asked with a worried look: "From which direction to break through? Can our car pass through the minefield? "

Su Rui shook his head and said, "No, Li Hongqi estimated that the minefield is at least 100 meters long. So, we chose to break out from the group of eaters."

"With so many eaters, can we...really rush out?"

Su Rui pondered for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. I will have a way when the time comes."

He thought to himself that he still had unlimited gasoline. If he combined it with the ability to pause time for 30 seconds, he should be able to tear a hole and rush out of the encirclement.

At this moment, the commander suddenly pulled Su Rui aside and said solemnly, "Su Rui, I have a hunch that I and these soldiers may have a hard time getting through this..."

Su Rui frowned and said in a deep voice, "Commander, you are a soldier. Such discouraging words should not come out of your mouth, right?"

The commander smiled slightly and shook his head bitterly, "No, I'm just stating the facts."

Su Rui asked, "Then you came to me to ask me to help deal with these eaters? "

The commander nodded seriously and said, "Yes, but not right. I don't expect you to burst out with amazing power like before, but I do have a favor to ask for. "

Su Rui immediately refused: "Commander, I'm afraid I won't agree to your request. I can't risk my own life and the lives of those around me."

The commander immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Su Rui, listen to me first, and then you decide. In fact, it doesn't matter if we sacrifice, but we still have an important task to complete. There is a person in the armored vehicle who needs our protection. I hope that if you have a chance to escape, you can help escort her to the military shelter. "

Su Rui still shook his head firmly and refused: "Commander, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. In this doomsday, danger is everywhere, and we can't predict what will happen tomorrow. Therefore, I just want to ensure our own safety and don't want to cause trouble. "

The commander sighed deeply and stressed helplessly: "Su Rui, the person we are protecting is really very important!"

Su Rui responded coldly: "Commander, your mission has nothing to do with me, I don't want to interfere."

The commander continued anxiously: "But that person may hold the key to solving the red fog crisis. She is conducting an experiment related to the fate of the entire human race!"

Su Rui paused for a moment when he heard this, but finally shook his head firmly.

This person may be really very important, just like Liu Feifei, who can solve the food crisis and may even trigger the system to start a new branch task.

However, for him now, one more person means one more trouble. What's more, it's such an important person.

If he already has invincible strength, then bringing one more person is just a piece of cake.

However, he has not yet reached that level, so he can only focus on protecting the safety of himself and his companions.

Seeing Su Rui's firm attitude, the commander could only leave helplessly and began to command the soldiers to build a defense line, quietly waiting for the arrival of the group of eaters.

During the waiting time, everyone still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that the group of eaters would not really come.

However, the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer in the distance made fear grow quietly in everyone's heart.

The soldiers held their guns tightly because of fear, and their palms were soaked with sweat.

The crowd trembled involuntarily because of fear, and some even closed their eyes or squatted on the ground and buried their heads.

In this way, five minutes passed.

The gunfire from a distance became clearer and clearer, and the dense figures of people were vaguely visible, and the earth was shaking slightly.

As time went by, a terrifying scene gradually appeared in front of everyone.

A dozen rebel teams were running away while shooting, and behind them was an endless group of eaters, which could not be seen at a glance, forming a sharp contrast with the rebels.

"Hiss..."

"Hiss..."

The eaters made terrifying roars, one after another, extremely terrifying, and creepy!

However, they did not run fast, but walked slowly, as if controlled by some kind of power.

Seeing the huge group of eaters in front of them, almost everyone's face turned pale and their bodies trembled violently uncontrollably.

In this world, is there anything more terrifying than this moment?

The answer is...no!

Everyone asked themselves, from birth to now, and to the advent of the end of the world, everyone has never seen such a terrifying scene!

Every corner of the street is filled with eaters, so dense that it is suffocating.

It's like hell has come to the world!

With such a number, can humans really fight against it?

Even a well-equipped army would probably find it difficult to resist, right?

I'm afraid that only those large shelters with strong defensive power can barely hold it off!

Even though Su Rui has great confidence in himself, he couldn't help but take a breath when he saw such a scene.

He knew that the next battle would be a life-and-death battle!

Then, he looked back and saw that Li Hongqi had cleared one-third of the road, which meant that there was a glimmer of hope.

It seems... we must fight to the death!

However, at this moment, dozens of rebels shouted "Don't shoot" and rushed towards the soldiers' positions.

The soldiers asked the commander whether to open fire, but out of sympathy for their fellow human beings, the commander did not give the order to shoot.

However, when several rebels were very close to the position, someone suddenly pointed at the military armored vehicle and shouted: "Quick, grab the car!"

Before the voice fell, the rebels opened fire first and instantly injured two soldiers.

This sudden change was beyond everyone's expectations.

The soldiers immediately launched a counterattack, but because the distance was too close, although many rebels were killed, they also paid a heavy price. Five people died on the spot.

Seeing this, the crowd immediately panicked and fled in all directions.

Some people stepped into the minefield in a panic and accidentally detonated the mineworms, but they did not scare away others. The instinct for survival drove more people to step into the minefield, which then triggered a series of explosions. Li Hongqi was blown away and his life or death was unknown. None of his subordinates were spared and were blown to pieces.

After the mineworms were frightened, they began to run around. Even the people who did not step into the minefield were innocently affected and died on the spot.

In this way, before the group of eaters approached, this place was already in chaos.

With the continuous accidents, everyone's hopes gradually shattered.

However, at this most critical moment, Su Rui's heart became more and more determined.

He watched all this with cold eyes. The sense of crisis made his belief in survival stronger, his spirit was highly concentrated, and his willpower reached its peak.

Can't die!

I can't die yet!

No one can die!

What Su Rui didn't realize was that his vitality was also quietly burning, preparing for the upcoming explosion...
