Chapter 221 Camp Attack and Defense.
The thick fog was like a surging tide.
It flowed over the mountains and poured back into the area where the camp was located.
Yu Ke stood on the top of the central sentry tower in 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 the fog came, it blocked out the sky and the sun, and it was already night, so lighting became the key.
"Turn on the searchlights to ensure vision!"
As the order was issued, dozens of nearly five-meter-high metal poles rose immediately outside the camp.
The high-power searchlights installed on the top were turned on continuously, and the area where the camp was located was as bright as day.
A group of non-combatants, including Ye Yingtong, took advantage of this opportunity to evacuate their posts and went to the tents prepared in advance for refuge.
At the same time, Yu Ke noticed that several extraordinary people were rushing with helmets in their hands. They arrived near a mechanical device that looked like an obelisk near the sentry tower. After getting in place, they put on their helmets and drank the special potion from the accompanying team members.
Everyone sat cross-legged around the obelisk.
The groove on the back of the helmet connected to the metal tube extending from the bottom device of the obelisk.
The next second.
A dark blue light pattern emerged on the surface of the obelisk, from bottom to top, and at the moment it surged to the highest point, a dark blue light column shot up into the sky.
Yu Ke looked up and saw that the light column briefly stopped about 30 meters above the ground and turned into a vortex.
It immediately began to spread to the surrounding area and became a light curtain covering the entire camp.
Yu Ke had previously inspected the defense positions in various parts of the camp, and he knew what this scene meant.
The obelisk is a special device developed by the Disaster Prevention Bureau.
Its function is to strengthen the spiritual power of the extraordinary through the helmet and the connection device and mobilize this power to the maximum extent.
At this time, those surrounding the obelisk were all extraordinary people with strong spiritual power carefully selected by the Disaster Prevention Bureau, and they took additional potions to strengthen themselves so that their state could burst out.
Their task is very simple.
With the help of the characteristics of the obelisk, a protective barrier covering the entire camp was established to block the invasion from the outside.
The barrier has a one-way blocking effect, and attacks from the camp can still fall outside.
This is the confidence of the Disaster Prevention Bureau to build a large-scale camp in the mountainous area.
A large number of special warfare soldiers entered the defensive position. Anseli led the patrol team members wearing power armor to fill the weak points. The extraordinary people of the special service department were divided into several teams to stand by on the spot, ready to reinforce at any time.
The forest spirit returned before the barrier was completely closed and informed Yu Ke of the situation outside.
"The fog will soon reach this area. I have strengthened a lot of plants on the periphery. They will tell me what happened."
After all, the mountainous area is not the Mirror Lake Forest. If the forest spirit wants to obtain intelligence, it must be arranged in advance.
"Have you found any signs of the approaching beast?"
Yu Ke frowned and looked at the shallow mist appearing above the camp, and asked in a deep voice.
"Nothing has been found yet. If a group of ferocious beasts break in, I will notify you as soon as possible."
The thick fog cannot interfere with the perception of the forest spirits. The approach of the ferocious beasts will definitely trigger the plant sentinels planted by the forest spirits in the mountains and forests.
Just when Yu Ke was discussing the situation with the forest spirits, the thick fog had arrived.
At first, it was just a little mist, slowly swaying over, and soon evolved into a group of fog, like clouds descending from the sky. When the fog tide came, only "whoosh~" could be heard over the camp, and the heavy gray fog rolled in just a dozen 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 the situation.
The perception produced by watching the video and experiencing it in person is completely different.
When the fog completely covered the camp, the sense of oppression came over, and everyone in the camp felt difficulty breathing.
Thanks to various arrangements made in advance, the psychic protection barrier was indeed effective, blocking the thick fog outside the camp, which barely maintained order in the camp, and the team members performed their duties and did not lose their composure.
"It is now half past six, and there are about three and a half hours before the meteor shower arrives. During this period of time, the camp is very likely to face an invasion from the outside. Don't panic, with me and Master Fang in charge, it will be foolproof!"
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 indicate that he and Fang Xuanhe would stand with them.
The camp surrounded by fog could not detect the situation outside at all. The Disaster Prevention Bureau soon received news that in the satellite images, nearly two-thirds of the mountainous area was shrouded in thick fog, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.
In other words, before the fog dissipated, reinforcements such as fighter formations and long-range artillery would hardly play a role.
The only option for the camp was passive defense and survive this meteor shower first.
Yu Ke, who had made up his mind to defend, had no intention of leaving the camp. He just stayed on the top of the watchtower to make sure everyone could find him.
The fog was surging outside the psychic barrier. After nearly ten minutes, there was still no sign of foreign invasion.
‘Could it be that, like last time, it was just a disturbance of the mountain veins, without any substantial attack? ’
Yu Ke thought about this possibility and turned to ask Sen Ling if there was any abnormal movement in the veins near the camp.
However, before he could speak, Sen Ling’s reminder came first,
“They are coming. A large number of creatures are galloping through the mountains and forests in the southeast direction. The goal is very clear, and the thick fog does not seem to have any effect on their actions.”
Yu Ke had just studied the map not long ago, and the junction was in the southeast direction of the camp!
“Everyone pay attention, the enemy has been found in the southeast direction, and we are ready to meet the enemy.”
Without any hesitation, Yu Ke immediately conveyed Sen Ling’s discovery to the command channel in a calm tone.
As soon as the news was received, two mobile teams of the Special Service Department immediately moved and headed straight for the position in the southeast direction. Then several intelligent machine gun towers in the southeast direction were activated, and the infrared sights swept back and forth outside the psychic barrier.
Another few minutes of tormenting waiting.
Yu Ke did not leave the sentry tower, but took out the blackthorn bow and arrow from the imprint space.
His sights were locked on the gray fog outside the psychic protection barrier.
In the defense position closest to the barrier, the special forces opened the safety of the machine gun, locked the muzzle in front, and observed the external situation through the scope with his face turned sideways, capturing the abnormal movement of the outside world.
At a certain moment, several black dots suddenly appeared in the picture seen by the scope.
The soldiers with highly concentrated minds focused their eyes and soon noticed that they were several beetles, which crawled back and forth on the surface of the barrier and did not look threatening at all.
But just as he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to change his target.
A huge black shadow suddenly rushed out of the gray fog, and several limbs covered with thick black bristles frantically knocked on the barrier. What followed was a terrifying beast with a spider in the lower body and a bison in the upper body!
The nearly three-meter-tall giant body violently rammed into the psychic protection barrier. The bull 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 warfare soldier pulled the trigger almost instinctively, and the muzzle spewed flames, and it was obvious that he was not the only one who fired.
In order to ensure that the remains of the sealed beast tide were not destroyed, the weapons and ammunition stored in the camp at this time were unprecedentedly sufficient. There was no such thing as saving ammunition. Just pull the trigger when you see the enemy.
The first monster to appear was attacked from all sides as expected.
The seemingly strong body faced the heavy firepower that poured in, and there was no room for resistance.
It was completely destroyed in just five seconds, leaving only broken flesh and blood on the ground, completely dead.
But there was no joy on the faces of the soldiers.
At the same time when this monster fell, more beasts arrived on the battlefield.
Mantises with multiple arms, tigers with wings on their backs, and goats with tentacles on their foreheads
They acted without any rules, like puppets being controlled, attacking the psychic barrier at all costs.
Because there were too many of them, the southeast direction alone was not enough to accommodate the monsters' offensive, so they soon began to split into other areas of the camp and launched an all-round attack.
The originally quiet camp was instantly filled with the sound of gunfire and the roar of ferocious beasts.
Seeing this scene, Yu Ke was glad that the camp had arranged a psychic barrier in advance. If so many monsters were allowed to rush into the camp directly while the fog covered 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 fog was no coincidence.
This was a long-planned raid, and it had even been rehearsed!
By observing the beasts attacking the psychic barrier, Yu Ke found that although their species were different, they generally had large-scale mutations and insect characteristics in their morphology. In addition, their crazy attack methods were enough to prove that they were most likely the army created by the Soul Devouring Insects at the border.
The sudden fog was to cover their actions. Otherwise, they would be bombarded by fighter formations and long-range artillery halfway, not to mention sneaking to the outskirts of the camp and launching a sudden attack, and most of them would be killed.
If the camp was not well prepared and had not been warned by the forest spirits, they might have succeeded in their surprise attack!
