The Military Queen-Chapter 32 - 24 Taking Command in a Crisis
Chapter 32: 24 Taking Command in a Crisis
Several thin needles tore through the air, flying straight ahead. The lizard dinosaur shook its head, and in an instant, a burst of blood blossomed in its yellow-brown eyes. Immediately after, its vision went black. The pain, like a thread, spread from the center of the eyeball to the sides.
The deafening roar. NPC Maggie, who had been pinned to the ground by the lizard dinosaur, suddenly woke up in the midst of the giant bellow. After brushing off the hair covering her face, NPC Maggie pulled out a small knife from her boot and stabbed it into the lizard dinosaur's abdomen. Before the blood had a chance to splatter,
"Maggie," a familiar voice accompanied by hands scooping her out from underneath the dinosaur. Soft bangs touched each other, the black and straw colors collided, and looked so harmonious together.
"Zero, your weapon is really lousy." NPC Maggie saw clearly that the pair of hands holding her were also holding a nearly harmless Ghost Needle Gun.
The temporary anesthetic from the medical room took effect, and the lizard dinosaur beside the two collapsed to the ground.
Zero gave a bitter smile and compared his military rank, "It's just right for a rookie Private like me."
NPC Maggie, true to her reconnaissance soldier instinct even in dire straits, noted that the firing speed of a standard military pistol is around 700-800 meters per second, whereas Zero's needle gun only had a speed of about 200 meters per second.
"Moreover, it only has an Attack Power of ten points," NPC Maggie hugged Zero's neck, "Luckily, it came with an anesthetic effect." Otherwise, even if Zero had fired all the needles just now, they wouldn't have killed a single lizard dinosaur.
"Instead of discussing this, we might as well think about how to help Colonel Washington," Zero said, looking towards Colonel Washington, who was still fighting hard.
Many of the rebel army soldiers had already been killed or wounded, and the only ones left with sufficient combat capabilities were Colonel Washington and her two aides.
On the brighter side, the lizard dinosaur that had given Zero a hard time had been wiped out, leaving only the leading Gluttonous Tyrannosaurus.
Less optimistically, this Gluttonous Tyrannosaurus was more troublesome than a dozen lizard dinosaurs combined.
"Zero, help Colonel Washington, it was me who asked her to take me to find my mother," NPC Maggie had just been critical of Zero's strength, but the next second she forgot Zero's actual prowess.
"Physical Strength ???, Spiritual Power 1000, Attack Power? Defensive Power?" Zero rapidly read the intelligence data of the Frenzied Dinosaur, finding this one to be apparently more advanced than any prehistoric creature she had ever seen. It almost possessed the intelligence of a normal human.
"Use your brain, will you? The best plan is often to retreat. It's surprising that you're still considered expert reconnaissance soldiers. Going to save them is like volunteering to be dinner for dinosaurs," Little Eight saw Zero save NPC Maggie and then foolishly linger in the danger zone, urgently reminding him.
"Who allowed you to abandon your comrades?" The impassioned, generous male voice, accompanied by the thunderous patrol car noise, Colonel Patton poked out from the patrol car, with the sonic transmitter on it continuously firing.
The Gluttonous Tyrannosaurus's attention was drawn away, its irregularly sized fore and hind legs bent, and with a leap, the ground trembled.
Colonel Patton's return and order revived the spirit of the soldiers in Kapa Military District, and they opened the military gates once more. freewebnøvel.com
Colonel Washington hesitated for a moment. After seeing the two aides beside her already severely injured, she tossed her heavy machine gun to the ground, and the three helped each other to retreat.
In the face of threats to human survival, there are no sides between enemies and allies.
It seemed that sound waves were more effective than bullets against the Gluttonous Tyrannosaurus.
Several patrol cars sped past, from which came the anxious shouts of Expert Sofia, "Maggie."
Private followed them into the retreat towards the Kapa Military District. As the vehicles were moving, she passed NPC Maggie into the car, and just when she herself was about to jump onto the military vehicle, her gaze was suddenly drawn to the corpse of a lizard dinosaur lying beside her.
She hadn't noticed when they were killing dinosaurs before, but the dinosaur she had stunned also had red spots on its abdomen. The flesh of the other dinosaurs blown to pieces, without exception, had their internal organs and flesh minced just like the decorative pig that day.
The same red spots, the same cause of death. It wasn't a coincidence.
The Frenzied Dinosaur pounced on Colonel Barton's patrol car, crushing the sonic transmitter under its ton-weight body.
Two soldiers rolled out of the car; one was torn to shreds on the spot, while Colonel Barton jumped to the side. Gasping for air, unarmed, he looked towards the dinosaur.
"Quick," as the patrol car was about to head back to the military region, Private snatched the steering wheel from the driver's hands, "Everyone, jump out of the car."
Everyone on the car was startled, and the driver turned to Private, who had a stern look on her face, her hand gripping the steering wheel like iron, holding it firm, not allowing anyone to contest it.
Expert Sofia glanced behind and immediately leaped out of the car, pulling NPC Maggie with her.
"Mom, what about Private?" NPC Maggie tried to crawl back into the car, seemingly guessing what Private was about to do.
"She's going to her death," the driver who had been hurried out of the car worried, even the Colonel couldn't deal with the dinosaur, yet that rookie actually wanted to turn back. Crazy.
"She is becoming a true soldier," Sofia looked towards the now-closed military gate and murmured, "Maggie, you have better insight than mom, that person, she is a true soldier."
"But," NPC Maggie's voice rose, "she doesn't have driving skills."
In fact, regarding this issue of driving, it wasn't until she was careening haphazardly to within a few steps of Colonel Barton and the Frenzied Dinosaur that Private realized the problem. Neither Xia You nor Private had ever driven a car.
"Private, well done," the patrol car, arriving swiftly as a bolt of lightning, said Colonel Barton, relieved.
Private, with her heart tied to the steering wheel, tried to muster a smile, but in a moment of inattention, she mistakenly pressed the accelerator, thinking it was the brake, with a hard stomp.
The engine roared wildly, and the enormous sound caused the Gluttonous Tyrannosaurus to react defensively.
The Tyrannosaurus's tail swept across horizontally, denting the reinforced glass of the patrol car. The swift speed of the vehicle was harshly braked, and Colonel Barton took the opportunity to do a ground roll, his black sunglasses falling to the ground. He dove his legs into the space below the seat, avoiding the still-spinning wheels. Grasping tightly to one side of the car door with both hands, he pulled himself up and jumped into the vehicle.
"Who drives like this?" Colonel Barton scowled. Private was still grumbling about her uncooperative feet until she was scolded by Colonel Barton. But upon seeing the face of the man scolding her, she couldn't help but laugh.
The physique of Schwarzenegger, the speed of The Flash, yet under those sunglasses, the square, army-style face of the Colonel had a pair of Xiao Shenyang-like squinty eyes.
"Give me the car, you handle the shooting," seeing the body of the car suspiciously trembling again, Colonel Barton, without hesitation, requested to switch places with Private.
