Chapter 221 Camp attack and defense.
The thick fog looks like a raging ocean tide.
It spread over the mountains and poured into the area where the camp was located.
Yu Ke stood on the top of the sentry tower in the center of the camp, watching the people running around.
Since they had just experienced the fog incident not long ago, the camp had obviously conducted relevant drills and moved very quickly.
When fog comes, it blocks the sky and the sun, and it’s already dark, so lighting becomes key.
"Turn on the searchlights to ensure visibility!"
As the order was given, dozens of metal poles nearly five meters high were immediately raised outside the camp.
The high-power searchlight installed on the top was turned on continuously, and the area where the camp was located was suddenly as bright as day.
A group of non-combatants, including Ye Yingtong, took advantage of this opportunity to evacuate their posts and take refuge in tents prepared in advance.
At the same time, Yu Ke noticed that many extraordinary people were coming quickly with helmets in their hands. They arrived at a mechanical device similar to an obelisk near the sentry tower. After getting into position, they put on their helmets and received the helmets from the accompanying team members. Drink the special potion in one gulp.
Everyone sat cross-legged around the obelisk.
A groove at the rear of the helmet connects to a metal tube extending from the base of the obelisk.
The next second.
Dark blue light patterns emerged on the surface of the obelisk, rising from bottom to top. The moment they reached the highest point, dark blue light beams soared into the sky.
Yu Ke looked up and saw the light pillar briefly stagnating about thirty meters above the ground and turning into a whirlpool.
Immediately, it began to spread to the surrounding area, forming a curtain of light that enveloped the entire camp.
Yu Ke had inspected the defensive positions throughout the camp before, and he knew what this scene meant.
The obelisk is a special device developed by the General Administration of Disaster Prevention.
Its function is to strengthen the psychic power of the extraordinary through the helmet and connecting device and mobilize this power to the maximum extent.
At this time, the people surrounding the obelisk were all extraordinary people carefully selected by the Disaster Prevention Bureau. They had quite strong mental powers, and they took additional potions to strengthen them, allowing their own state to explode.
Their mission is simple.
Using the characteristics of the obelisk, a protective barrier covering the entire camp was established to block intrusion from the outside world.
The blocking effect of the barrier is one-way, and attacks from inside the camp can still fall outside.
This is the reason why the Disaster Prevention Bureau dares to establish large-scale camps in mountainous areas.
A large number of special operations soldiers entered the defensive position. Anseli led the patrol members wearing power armor to fill the weak spots. The extraordinary personnel of the Special Service Section were divided into several small teams and stood on standby, ready for reinforcements at any time.
The forest spirit returned before the barrier was completely closed and informed Yu Ke of the situation outside.
"The fog will arrive in this area soon. I have strengthened many plants on the outside. They will tell me what happened."
After all, the mountain area is not the Jinghu Forest, and the forest spirit must make arrangements in advance if it wants to obtain information.
"Have you seen any signs of the beast approaching?"
Yu Ke frowned and looked at the light mist appearing over the camp, and asked in a deep voice.
"We haven't found anything yet. If a group of ferocious beasts breaks in, I will notify you as soon as possible."
The thick fog cannot interfere with the forest spirit's perception. The approach of the ferocious beast will definitely trigger the plant sentinels planted by the forest spirit in the mountains and forests.
While Yu Ke was discussing the situation with Senling, thick fog had arrived.
At first it was just a little mist, slowly swaying over, and soon turned into a mass of fog, like clouds falling in the sky. When the fog wave came, there was only a "whirr" sound above the camp, thick and heavy. Gray fog surged in within just ten seconds.
Suddenly, the outside of the camp was filled with gray fog, and the sky and the earth were integrated. Even the branches and leaves of the nearby trees were covered, and only some vague outlines could be seen, making it difficult to detect what was going on.
Watching the video and experiencing it in person have completely different perceptions.
When the fog completely covered the camp, a sense of oppression came over the face, and everyone in the camp felt it was difficult to breathe.
Thanks to various arrangements made in advance, the psychic protective barrier was indeed effective and blocked the thick fog from the camp. Only then could order in the camp be maintained. The team members performed their duties and did not get into chaos.
"It's half past six now, and there are still about three and a half hours before the meteor shower arrives. During this time, the camp is very likely to face an invasion from the outside. Don't panic. With me and Tianshi Fang taking charge, everything will be safe!"
Yu Ke could sense the solemn atmosphere in the camp and knew that the meteor disaster had brought great pressure to everyone, so he took the initiative to express that he and Fang Xuanhe would advance and retreat with them.
The camp surrounded by fog was unable to detect the outside world. News soon came from the Disaster Prevention Bureau. In satellite images, nearly two-thirds of the mountainous area was shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see clearly. The situation inside.
In other words, until the fog dissipates, it will be difficult for reinforcements such as fighter jet formations and long-range artillery to work.
The only option for the camp is to defend passively and survive the meteor shower first.
Yu Ke, who was determined to defend, was not ready to leave the camp. He just stayed at the top of the sentry tower to ensure that everyone could find him.
Mist surged outside the psychic barrier. After nearly ten minutes, there was still no sign of external invasion.
‘Could it be that it’s the same as last time, just disrupting the mountains and ground, without any substantial attack? ’
Yu Ke thought about this possibility and turned to ask the forest spirit if there was any abnormal movement in the earth veins near the camp.
However, before he could speak, the reminder from the forest spirit came first.
"They are here. A large number of creatures are galloping through the mountains and forests in the southeast. Their goals are very clear. The thick fog does not seem to have any impact on their movements."
Yu Ke studied the map not long ago, and the junction is in the southeast of the camp!
"Attention everyone, we have discovered enemy forces in the southeast and prepare to engage them."
Without any hesitation, Yu Ke immediately conveyed the forest spirit's discovery to the command channel in a calm tone.
Immediately after receiving the news, two mobile teams of the Special Service Section immediately moved and headed straight to the southeastern position. Then several smart machine gun towers in the southeast were activated, and the infrared sights swept back and forth outside the psychic barrier. .
Another few minutes of excruciating waiting.
Yu Ke did not leave the sentry tower, but took out the black thorn bow and arrow from the imprinted space.
His sight was locked on the gray fog outside the psychic protective barrier.
In the defensive position closest to the barrier, the special operations team members opened the safety of the machine gun, locked the muzzle forward, and observed the external situation through the scope with their faces turned sideways, capturing any changes in the outside world.
At a certain moment, several black spots suddenly appeared in the picture seen by the scope.
The soldiers, who were highly focused, focused their attention and soon noticed that they were several beetles. They were crawling back and forth on the surface of the barrier, and they did not look threatening in any way.
But the moment he took a breath and prepared to change his target.
A huge black shadow suddenly burst out of the gray fog, and several arthropods covered with thick black bristles knocked wildly on the barrier. What followed was a terrifying beast with a spider's lower body and a bison's upper body!
The huge body nearly three meters high savagely collided with the psychic protective barrier. The bull's head with eight scarlet eyeballs leaned forward, staring at the people in the camp, and let out a piercing roar.
"Fire! Fire!"
The attack command sounded in the communication channel.
The special operations soldier pulled the trigger almost instinctively, spitting flames from the gun, but he was obviously not the only one who fired.
In order to ensure that the remains of the sealed beast tide are not destroyed, the weapons and ammunition stored in the camp at this time are unprecedentedly sufficient. There is no such thing as saving ammunition. Just see the enemy pressing the trigger to death.
As expected, the first monster to appear was attacked from all directions.
The seemingly powerful body had no room to resist in the face of the heavy firepower.
It was completely destroyed in less than five seconds, leaving only broken flesh and blood that fell to the ground, completely lifeless.
But there was no joy at all on the soldiers' faces.
At the same time as this monster fell, more ferocious beasts arrived on the battlefield.
The mantis with many arms, the tiger with insect wings on its back, and the goat with tentacles on its forehead
Their actions are without any rules, like controlled puppets, attacking the psychic barrier at any cost.
Because there were too many, the southeast direction alone was simply not enough to accommodate the monsters' offensive. They soon began to flow to other areas of the camp, launching an all-round attack.
The originally quiet camp was instantly filled with the sound of gunfire and the roars of ferocious beasts.
Seeing such a scene, Yu Ke was thankful that the camp had deployed psychic barriers in advance. If so many monsters were allowed to rush into the camp while the fog obscured their vision, a large-scale chaos would immediately break out.
Because of this, Yu Ke became more and more convinced that the appearance of the mist was no coincidence.
This was a planned and even rehearsed raid!
By observing the ferocious beasts that attacked the psychic barrier, Yu Ke found that although their types were different, they generally had large-scale mutations and insect-like characteristics in their forms. Coupled with their crazy attack methods, it was enough to prove that They are very likely to be an army created by the Soul-eating Insect itself at the border.
The sudden fog was meant to cover up their movements. Otherwise, let alone sneaking to the outside of the camp to launch a sudden attack, they would have been bombarded halfway by fighter formations and long-range artillery, and most of them would have been damaged.
If the camp hadn't been well prepared and there were warnings from the forest spirits, it would have been possible for them to surprise and succeed!
