Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 41

Chapter 41, siege and attack reinforcements?

The appearance of abscess sprayers made Yan Fangxu feel a little tricky.

The pus sprayed from these monsters fell on the battlefield, forming a pool of pus, and the ground was corroded and crackling.

This place is unsuitable for people to stand.

And if you are unlucky enough to be sprayed, the splashing pus will not corrode the armor of a single soldier, but it will quickly penetrate the clothes when it touches the arms and legs, forming a large area of corrosive burns, which will soon make the soldiers lose their combat effectiveness.

The most unfortunate thing is that the soldiers will die screaming when they are sprayed all over the head.

What kind of biochemical artillery is this?

If these monsters are allowed to spray as much as they want, they might be wiped out here.

But fortunately, on the one hand, the number of abscess sprayers is not large, and on the other hand, their spraying distance is very close, only fifty meters, not really as far as artillery.

Within the range of fifty meters, even if there are a large number of other abscess monsters to cover, it is still easy to be hit.

After seeing the threat posed by the Abscess Sprayers, the soldiers would also prioritize their firepower on these monsters.

The 3rd Battalion was a newly formed unit, but it was the first to be equipped with the G9 gun family produced by the camp. Firearms with excellent power and high stability are the best partners for soldiers. Especially the machine gun type of G9, which has greater power, faster firing rate, larger bullet capacity, and more sustained firepower. When facing these monsters, it is like a lawn mower.

Bullets were scattered like water, and those monsters that blocked the Abscess Sprayers were swept down in pieces, and their bodies were even smashed to pieces. Then, the bullets smashed the Abscess Sprayers into pieces.

After paying a certain price, they once again repelled the monsters’ attack.

The surrounding area of the forest became quiet.

In two rounds of attacks, the monsters left at least a thousand corpses.

Before this, Yan Fangxu had never found such a large number of monsters gathered together in this dense forest.

This incident itself was very unusual, and what happened next made him smell a strong smell of conspiracy.

The monsters seemed to understand that it was meaningless to continue the previous fierce offensive, which was just sending people to their deaths. They stopped the large-scale attack, but did not leave completely.

From their current position, the soldiers could see the ghosts in the dense forest in the distance. The monsters did not leave, but hid behind the trees in the forest. They could still feel their deep malice from a distance.

The soldiers, including Yan Fangxu, tried to fire into the dense forest.

The effect was not good.

The place where they were was originally the hatching nest of the monsters. In order to clean up the nest, they cut down and burned many trees that were parasitized by the hatched eggs here, forming a small open space. When the monsters attacked, they were within a hundred meters of the soldiers’ defensive positions without cover.

However, in the forest a hundred meters away, the power of the bullets was greatly reduced.

These soldiers did become qualified soldiers after a short training. But qualified soldiers are not necessarily sharpshooters who can hit the target every time. At a distance of 100 meters, the enemy was hiding in the dense forest with dim vision and large areas of trees blocking the view. It was really difficult to hit them.

With his super military skills and the powerful performance of the electromagnetic rifle in his hand, Yan Fangxu could guarantee that he would hit the target every time he saw it, but after firing two shots and killing two monsters suspected to be abscess sprayers, he stopped shooting.

Not only did he stop shooting, but he also asked his soldiers to stop firing.

He now realized a problem. The number of enemies was too large. They might run out of bullets and might not be able to kill all these monsters.

Ammunition is limited.

Originally, they thought they were just entering the woods to carry out the task of destroying the hatching nest, not going to war, so they didn’t bring too much ammunition reserves.

And even if they really went to war, the ammunition reserves still needed to be delivered by the logistics troops. In the field, how much can you carry with you?

Although Yan Fangxu was very cautious, when he led the team out to perform the mission, he also called a bull cart to tow a cart of food and ammunition supplies.

But it was still not infinite.

If they held on, the final result would only be running out of ammunition and food.

He led the team to try to break out, but failed.

After entering the dense forest, the advantage of firepower was greatly reduced, and the threat they faced was also greater.

Not only did those “biochemical artillery” become more difficult to eliminate and more likely to cause casualties to the soldiers, but even those ordinary abscess monsters would become threatening. After all, no one could tell from which tree such a monster would pop out.

The bigger problem was that no one knew how many monsters were hiding in the dense forest around them. If they insisted on breaking out, how many casualties would they have to pay.

After making a preliminary attempt and realizing the difficulty, before casualties actually occurred, Yan Fangxu ordered the troops to retreat and continue to hold on to their original position, and asked for help from the headquarters.

Soon, he received a reassuring reply.

“Hold on, hold on, the Governor will lead the 2nd Infantry Battalion and the Marine Commando to rescue you.”

It was indeed reassuring to get such a reply.

The Governor will not give up on them.

But after a while, the uneasiness in Yan Fangxu’s heart gradually magnified.

He felt the wisdom from the behavior of these monsters.

The first two attacks were quite brainless, which seemed to be the style of these monsters. When they encountered other kinds of creatures, they would rush up without thinking, completely fearless of death.

But at this moment, those monsters used the terrain of the dense forest to trap them in place, which was definitely not a decision made without thinking.

Either these monsters have derived wisdom; or there are human factors behind their actions.

Yan Fangxu is more inclined to the latter.

Then why did these monsters choose to besiege but not attack?

Starve them to death here?

Obviously unreliable.

Then their goal…

Did they expect reinforcements?

Is this a conspiracy to besiege and attack the reinforcements?

Are they going for the Governor?

A series of thoughts flooded into his mind, and Yan Fangxu’s thoughts were a little confused.

Most of the roads to the rescue were dense forests. If the Governor’s team was attacked by a large group of monsters during the march, the consequences would be disastrous!

He immediately activated the communication equipment again.

This time, he successfully contacted Gu Hang and reported his guess to the Governor.

But after hearing his report, Gu Hang just said:

“Don’t worry, I have a plan, take your time.”
