LChapter 162, the meaning of life
Lacroxia is thinking about an important question: what is the value of life?
He didn't think about this shit question before.When wandering with the tribe in the early years, all I thought about was how to eat more food so as not to be hungry; later I became an adventurer, and it was also for food; and after becoming an adventurer, it was essentially for a bite of food.
Later, all the brothers from the same wandering tribe died, and he joined the beast slaughter group. He was able to eat enough, but the goal became to fight green skins for the brothers who had fought side by side. revenge.
Later, the people above didn't know what to say, and he changed from an adventurer to a serious regular army unit under the governor's banner, with a military rank and a designation for the unit.
But he didn't have much to say about it, or even support it.
The food can be fuller, and the governor-general also gave out equipment and weapons, which are much better than the garbage used when I was an adventurer before.Moreover, there are heavy equipment such as artillery and armored vehicles of other friendly forces to provide them with support.This will obviously greatly increase their efficiency in eliminating greenskins.
So what's the point of being unhappy?
Support, 1 support!
Some time ago, the green skin of the tower ruins was dried up.
According to the officer above, in order to prevent these green skins from multiplying, it is necessary to ensure that all areas of the ruins of the tower are burned with flames.
He sometimes wonders, can the waste energy storm that often blows up in the ruins of the tower replace the fire?
But even if you don't care about those, the big problem is solved anyway, even if there are occasional green skins regenerating in the future, the number cannot be too many all at once, just destroy and burn them again.
Just as he and his comrades were chatting with each other, guessing whether their performance this time was enough to win back the title of "Beast Slaughter Squad" that originally belonged to them from the governor, A new task has been issued.
They will take a transport spacecraft and enter a starship docked in planetary orbit to perform tasks.
When hearing this mission, Lacroxia and his comrades were dumbfounded.
Is this going to heaven?
He has looked up at the starry sky countless times, but he never thought that one day he would be able to leave the surface and fight in the starry sky.
They were inexplicably excited.
Although, they could think that it might be a very dangerous thing, but when they got on the spaceship, they saw that the outside was getting farther and farther away from the ground, so that they jumped out of the atmosphere and looked down from a distance, almost being able to see the entire planet When the whole picture of the original boundless land turned into an arc, and then turned into a planet mixed with khaki and gray blue, he still felt a huge sense of shock.
It turns out that this is the world we live in.
This is the angry owl star that our ancestors have lived for generations.
It is even difficult for him to describe the touch in his heart, and his comrades may also have the same mentality.The comrades who were still chatting with each other were all silent now.
The transport spacecraft carried their group, and slowly approached the super-huge steel creation hovering in the void.
A hatch opens, the transport ship enters, and then the hatch closes, seemingly filled with gas.Another door opened, and the spaceship went inside again, and there was a huge airport-like place.
Through multiple exits, transport spaceships entered one after another, the hatches opened, and groups of soldiers came down.
Soon, he didn't have time to look around, and the transport spaceship he was in also opened the hatch, and their entire company walked down like this, and followed the instructions of the ground crew waiting below, walking all the way in, and entered the land. Team camp.
The temporary residence assigned to them is very crowded.Their entire class was squeezed into a narrow space of a few square meters.There are four sets of beds here, and each set of beds is close together, leaving an aisle of about [-] centimeters in the middle. Each set of beds has three floors, and in theory, it can sleep a total of twelve people.
There are still two free beds for us to store things...
That's how they rant.
There is a cafeteria for eating, and the food is completely synthetic starch. It is said that if you eat it for a long time, it will be very greasy, but at least now they feel good, as long as they can eat enough.Maybe they will really get bored in the future, but will they stay on the starship until then?
However, it is said that in some places on the starship, there are markets and bars, and they can have something different, but they have never seen it, and they are not allowed to walk around on the starship.Even these rumors came from some restless soldiers in the company who came to the cafeteria to eat like those, but didn't like to communicate with them very much, the so-called Starship Marines chatted.
Lacroxia has no interest in these.
What he cared about was a thought that came to him after he came to the starry sky in a transport spaceship and saw the magnificent picture: What is the value of life?
He didn't know why he thought about such boring things, but there was nothing else to do in the narrow and closed cabin during this time.
He just thought about it for several days, but he didn't think about it.
To this day, the scarlet lights are flashing everywhere, and the sirens sounded one after another. He and his comrades, after receiving the order, left the cabin where they lived and gathered outside.
Everyone is very disturbed.
They know that now it seems that there has been a war.The starships are constantly firing, engaging the Greenskin Fleet.
This is different from their past war experience.
In the past, no matter how powerful the enemy was and how bad the situation was, they were all down-to-earth and fighting with the weapons in their hands.To some extent, life and death are controlled by oneself.
But right now, they are far away from their hometown and the planet. It is said that it takes a long time for light to fly.
If the naval battle fails, all of them will be buried in this sea of stars.
But soon, their task arrived.
He saw the company commander and the instructor say a few words, and then ordered the whole company to set off.
After walking outside for a few ten minutes, amidst a violent explosion, he saw with his own eyes that almost all the members of the next row were engulfed in flames and debris.Then, while dizzy, he saw a figure rushing from behind the breach.
He raised his gun almost subconsciously and instinctively, and shot there.
Although it probably looks like a person, Lacroxia is very sure and familiar with it, it is a green skin.
And indeed, his shot even saved the life of the company commander.Driven by him, many comrades around him opened fire, and the green skin was quickly hit by the concentrated fire and died on the spot.
However, more green skins rushed in, stepping on the still burning flames.
A bloody battle, caught off guard like this, broke out at a very short distance.
There is no heavy firepower, no artillery, no armored vehicles... In the environment inside the starship, it is difficult to deploy these things.
All they have is guns in their hands and a will of steel.
As more and more green skins poured in, they couldn't even continue shooting, so they could only hold their bayonets and go up to fight.
There was almost no room for any commanding art to be played in a random fight, and the two sides fought bravely with blood.Bayonets, bullets, blood, stumps...these things are flying randomly in this narrow passage.
There was nothing left in Lacroxia's head, only assassination moves one after another.The comrades around him fell down one by one and made up one after another. He has been fine, even if he was hit in the chest by a green leather machete, the plastic steel bulletproof armor plate saved his life. Turn around.Regardless of the pain in his ribs and being knocked to the ground by the green skin's force, he stabbed the bayonet fiercely into the neck of the unbalanced green skin.
Lacroxia, whose face was covered with blood, pushed the corpse away vigorously, and stood up gasping for breath.
And this seems to be the last green skin, and there are no other living enemies in sight right now.
But in this purgatory-like scene, there were only seven people standing like him.
Lacroxia looked bewildered.
A company of 120 men... only seven left?
He couldn't count the number of corpses that filled the corridor, especially some of the corpses were in bad shape.He only knew that almost all the people he knew were dead, and the seven in front of him were unfamiliar.They were all covered in blood, and they all looked dazed.
The seven of them got together instinctively, and for a long time, no one dared to speak.
In the end, it was Lacroxa who spoke: "Here... who is the highest rank?"
He still remembered that the company instructor had taught them many military regulations during the previous surface battles.If the team is broken up, the surrounding soldiers should gather spontaneously, with the highest rank as the temporary command.
Now... it should be regarded as being broken up, right?Or should it be counted as being beaten?
"I'm a private..." A timid voice sounded, "I was just added to the Third Independent Regiment..."
"I am also a private...", "I am a private...", "I am a private..."
After listening in a circle, they are all big soldiers.
La Croix scratched his head, really not knowing what to do now.
Not a single officer left, right?What should we do?
In a trance, he saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him.
He remembered that he hadn't declared his military rank yet: "I...I'm a corporal."
When he was first reorganized, he was just a private soldier; after fighting the battle in the ruins of the tower, he was considered an old man of the Beast Slaughter Regiment, and he was awarded the rank of corporal when he was awarded honors on a large scale.
A corporal means that he possesses the D1 rank in Fuxing City, which is equivalent to the propaganda.Food rations and training allowances combined are enough for him to live a life that is much better than food and clothing. In the future, if he stops serving as a soldier, he will be transferred at the same level, so he will be guaranteed in the future.In the event of a war, combat allowances will also be issued.
He was promoted quickly. In his class, only the squad leader was a sergeant, and the deputy squad leader was a sergeant. Other than that, he was considered higher.
But in general, in the entire company, it is still a small shrimp.
As a result, he heard the private first class say: "So, it seems that you are the highest rank, and we are all at your command now."
La Croix was stunned.
I, I, I... I can't do it? !
But then he quickly calmed down again.
This is not power, but responsibility, and he cannot be shirked.According to the regulations, he has to shoulder this responsibility.
Taking a deep breath, he seemed to understand the question he had been thinking about before.
I dare not say it far away, at least his current value is to lead the 3nd Company of the 6th Battalion of the 2rd Independent Regiment, and there are only seven surviving members.
The last seedlings of Company 362 are all here.
What are you going to do next?
Their previous mission was to station in area B7752 and eliminate all alien enemies that appeared there.
However...the company commander and the instructor may know where B7752 is, how could he, a corporal, know?
Scratching his head, he heard the sound of fighting in the distance.
He greeted and said: "Come on, let's go over there and see if we can find other friendly troops."
If there were friendly troops, especially officers, he seemed to be relieved of responsibility.
...
Fully armed, nearly three meters tall and wearing super-heavy armor, Genie Madfang pushed open the half-rotten hatch and was the first to walk out of the landing ship.What greeted him was more than 30 electromagnetic rifles and laser guns firing intensively.
His armor clanged, but it didn't stop him for a moment.With a pair of mechanical thighs, he rushed forward quickly, shielding the green boys behind him from the wind and rain, and at the same time leaving room for them to form formation.
And, in the process, he raised his left arm.The multiple-barreled rocket launcher mounted under the forearm shot out a nest full of rockets, blowing up the elite Marine soldiers in the row in front of them and the few people who were coming up behind the belt to support them.
The violent explosion even caused some damage to the cabin of the metal corridor. Several potholes were blasted out, and the cracked mechanical structure and the evacuating group below the potholes could also be seen.
There seems to be a 'reflector' of the 'Quintet' to intercept the gun bay of the laser cannon.
Kuangfang grinned, and his smile was very ferocious.
And this harvest?
He raised his hand again and pointed the rocket launcher down.The self-loading structure has already stuffed a new batch of rockets into the magazine, and there are two orc boys carrying a large bag, putting more than a dozen rockets from the armored entrance at the buttocks of the mad teeth. The cannonballs were replenished into Crazy Fang's combat backpack.
The next moment, more than a dozen rockets flew out and bombarded the independent gun bay below.
The 'Reflexor' operating gun crew consisted of dozens of people, and was reimbursed almost instantly. The energy storage device of the Reflector laser cannon also exploded, creating a bigger gap in the surrounding area. .
The fire wave of the explosion even spread to the upper floor.Genie Madfang was not affected, but several unlucky green-skinned boys were sucked in by the explosion and thrown out of the ship.
Without the life-support system and gravity system of the ship, these guys who entered the void, even the green-skinned orcs with strong vitality, would have no possibility of survival.
But it doesn't matter, the value of destroying a naval gun is much higher than a group of unlucky boys being blown away.
Seeing such a splendid explosion happening right in front of their eyes, the living boys were extremely happy.
Crazy Tooth laughed too!
He waved back and shouted to the boys to get out of the landing pod quickly, they were going to go inside!
As the warlord of the tenth plundering fleet of the Iron Tooth Clan, he is the leader of the entire fleet. Today, he will fight in person to completely win this war!
The Supreme Commander of the Fleet personally joined the battle. He was reckless to the point of being stupid, but he was green-skinned enough.
