Chapter 210 The Zoo's Horror
In any case, a soldier from the regiment set out toward the north under the leadership of a captain. The reason why he led the team was not because of his bad luck, but because of his good luck. He drew the longest one in the draw. In the words of his comrades, it was to let the luckiest one dilute the bad luck. Although he refused in his heart, he was willing to accept the loss, so he still led the team on the way.
His nerves were tense along the way, and a sign that fell on the side of the road would make him alert for a long time. In contrast, the Filipino soldiers were very leisurely and even took the time to go to the empty houses to see if there were any lost US dollars. This is their usual tradition. When fighting, if you can't take the opportunity to make some money, then who will go?
Maybe the captain was really lucky. Until they approached the zoo, they did not encounter a demon. This made the commander feel relieved while he was puzzled. No one wanted to die.
The gate of Phoenix Zoo was already visible from afar. The captain broke the radio silence. Although these regulations were simply unnecessary for demons without electronic equipment, the captain who had never fought a regular battle and only participated in a few exercises was strictly enforced according to what he learned at school. "Nest, nest, here is Possum 3, which has arrived at the cheese shop. Have you entered?"
Colonel Johnson's voice came from the radio, "The nest was received, and the action was carried out according to the original plan. The hornets have been dispatched. Arrived in 5 minutes, you can call for reinforcements at any time."
"Possum 3 understands that it will keep the radio open at any time." The captain who learned through communication that the colonel had sent air support was relieved. Without hesitation, he immediately issued an order to attack the zoo to the Philippine commander beside him.
With the order of the black and thin Philippine officer, a regiment of soldiers rushed towards the gate of the zoo, which shocked the US captain. Shouldn’t it be that two companies should be sent to rush in to test if there are enemies? What is the situation like a refugee wave? Holding grass, I have only seen this kind of charge in American dramas and movies about World War II. Is there any regular military tactics now?
Regardless of whether the captain had seen it or not, these high-spirited soldiers rushed in. There was no way, so the captain had to take a step and follow the team to rush into the zoo.
This zoo, covering an area of 0.51 square kilometers, is the largest non-profit zoo in the United States. It originally had more than 1,000 animals in four districts, but now it is empty. I don’t know where those animals were taken by the demons, becoming test subjects or food.
Soon, the soldiers searched most of the zoo and found no trace of the demon. The captain tried his best to gather the team. Since he had successfully occupied the place, he planned to continue to move according to the goal in the supplementary plan and suddenly go to the desert botanical garden in the north to repair and build a position.
Just as he was about to order the move forward, a squad of Filipino soldiers ran over from the front in panic, "Sir! Sir! There is movement in the aquarium in front."
Everyone's nerves became tense, and even the Filipino soldiers were no exception. After a morning of march, their morale was almost exhausted. It was not a good thing to encounter a demon in a tired state.
The captain waved his hand to calm them down, and then began to think. As an officer stationed at Luke Air Base, Phoenix was his frequent visitor. He had also visited this zoo. The aquarium in front was not very big and could not accommodate too many demons. Moreover, the aquarium only had one entrance and exit, so the demons would not have had to work hard to open a back door.
"Tell me more about what you discovered." The captain still wanted to obtain information first to see if there would be any discoveries.
Several soldiers looked at each other, but the squad leader spoke, "We kept searching along the road and found no suspicious situations until we saw the aquarium. Just as we were about to walk in through the gate, the sound of water splashes came from inside, and there were a few strange words that I had never heard before, and it was definitely not in English."
It seems that the tenth ** are demons. No matter what their purpose is to come to the small aquarium, it is necessary to kill them first to boost morale. It is impossible for Colonel Johnson to not make them jealous.
Thinking of this, the captain immediately issued an order: "The Second Battalion is deploying defenses on both sides of the aquarium, the First Battalion is facing the enemy with me, and the Third Battalion goes around the back of the aquarium to prevent the demon from escaping in that direction. Pay attention to using rocket launchers more often. Ordinary rifles have no effect on the bullhead demon."
After saluting, the three battalion commanders immediately returned to the army to carry out the orders, and the captain also contacted three armed helicopters code-named hornets via radio, allowing them to stand by near the zoo, ready to launch an air attack at any time.
Strictly speaking, there are too many people in a regiment of 1,500 people surrounding a small aquarium. However, given the performance of the Philippine army and the demons before, there were no large-scale destructive weapons such as grenades, the captain thought it would be safer to have more people, at least it would look much more reliable.
Soon, all the soldiers were in defense, and the captain did not choose the dense killing distance of 200 meters, but chose the closer 100 meters, because he knew that the distance was not a big problem for the demons. If you could not effectively shoot ammunition into their bodies and kill them, as long as they were allowed to enter the team, it would be not far from collapse. No one could defeat the demons in close combat, so he simply pulled the distance close enough to make his barrage tear the demons to pieces as soon as possible.
Before they could build a bunker, the soldiers hid next to trees or in bushes on the roadside and stared at the gate of the aquarium. Of course, ordinary temporary bunkers did not have much effect on the demons.
There was a noise from the door, and it seemed that something was about to come out. The captain wiped his sweat and told the other commanders on the radio, "No fire is allowed without my order."
Bang, the only half of the glass door left in the aquarium was also broken, and a ox-headed demon walked out, and two thick horns left two scratches on the ceiling. Under the sunlight, these giant beasts about 3 meters high looked even more burly and ferocious. The surrounding Filipino soldiers also began to doubt that it was really this kind of creature they had defeated?
Behind him was a bullhead and four sheep-headed demons. The bullheaded demon actually carried a crocodile on his shoulder. This terrifying reptile was lying on his shoulder like a docile little lamb, and his sharp-toothed mouth was tightly sucked by the bullheaded demon and could not move.
The first bullhead demon came out, and his nose twitched, and a pair of red eyes as big as a copper bell began to scan the surroundings vigilantly. The axe in his hand also crossed his chest, as if he had discovered something. The Filipino soldiers around him became even more nervous. It was one thing to shoot at unknown creatures at night while taking advantage of the darkness. It was another thing to face these legendary terrifying creatures in broad daylight. Looking at the sharp teeth in the bullhead demon's mouth, this guy definitely didn't eat vegetarian food like the buffalo in his hometown.
Roar! A low roar came from the throat of the bullhead demon. He was reminding his companions to pay attention. Unfortunately, the Filipino soldiers, who were already nervous, were startled. A teenage soldier pulled the trigger with a warm current in his crotch.
