A chaotic mess erupted within the camp, the sound of agonizing screams filled the air.

More than a dozen soldiers died on the spot, the others immediately raised their weapons and returned fire.

Bang, bang!

Dense rain of bullets struck the tentacles.

Creating holes, but the effect was minimal.

Inside the camp, the vigilant mechs unleashed torrents of bullets from their close-range rifles.

Shredding the tentacles to pieces.

"Hiss~"

The pierced tentacles emitted deafening shrieks.

"We're under attack! Get back to the ship!"

Su Mo said to Ling Yin, then turned and sprinted towards the mech docking area with Xiao Wen.

While running, Su Mo keenly sensed a slight bulge in the ground and pushed Xiao Wen aside.

In an instant, a disgusting green tentacle burst from the ground, sending gravel flying.

It almost killed Xiao Wen. Still shaken, Xiao Wen immediately drew his automatic pistol and fired at the tentacle.

Bang, bang!

The slimy tentacle braved the hail of bullets, its head splitting open to reveal sharp teeth as it lunged.

Xiao Wen dodged with a sideways roll, then pushed himself up from the ground, shouting to Su Mo.

"Go!"

Su Mo's eyes flickered, then he charged towards the Black Steel mech without hesitation.

His nerves were stretched to the breaking point, the chaotic surroundings suddenly becoming still. In that instant, Su Mo could perceive everything clearly, weaving left and right to avoid the tentacles erupting from the ground.

Some tentacles had just broken through the earth, about to strike Su Mo's heel, but he lifted his leg to avoid them.

In a flash, Su Mo reached the Black Steel mech, nimbly climbed up, and entered the cockpit.

The next moment, the Black Steel mech's eyes lit up, and its massive body stood. Without a word, Su Mo pushed the control stick, and the entire mech charged out like a behemoth.

Swinging its black spear, it swept away the black tentacles in front of it.

Viscous, foul-smelling liquid accompanied the snapping of green tentacles, which flew into the air.

The chaotic situation was turned around.

The soldiers, who had been caught off guard, began to reorganize, and squad leaders shouted loudly, "Victory is ours! Don't panic! Fight back! Fight back!"

At this moment, Su Mo caught sight of the little girl.

The little girl's face was covered in scarlet blood, revealing a repulsive, evil smile as she watched the chaotic camp, constantly retreating.

Su Mo narrowed his eyes, a nameless anger rising in his heart, a strong killing intent erupting instantly.

He slammed the two power propulsion rods to the maximum, the entire Black Steel mech emitting a deafening roar, then leaped up and charged towards the little girl.

The little girl turned her head to look at the oncoming mech, a look of fear on her face, and then let out a piercing scream.

The ground began to crack, and tentacles pierced out from under the mech's feet. Su Mo completely ignored the tentacles, maneuvering the mech with agility, as if he knew in advance where they would emerge.

All the tentacles' blocking attacks failed.

In an instant, Su Mo appeared in front of the little girl, raising the spear high in the air.

At this moment, the terrified little girl revealed a sinister smile, and a patrolling soldier inexplicably stepped in front of her.

"Baffer, get out of the way!"

Some of the other team members shouted anxiously when they saw this.

But the soldier named Baffer remained unmoved, instead spreading his arms.

The next moment, the black spear pierced through Baffer's body, then pierced through the little girl's body.

The little girl let out piercing wails.

Her face was filled with disbelief, and the next moment her body began to fester, ultimately losing all signs of life.

Without hesitation, Su Mo swung the spear, throwing the two corpses away. Then, he controlled the Black Steel mech to leap into the sky, surveying the entire camp from mid-air.

Then, his eyes stared intently at the ground.

For some reason, Su Mo had a strange feeling, he could clearly sense in his mind the location of the monster's main body hidden underground.

So, Su Mo controlled the Black Steel mech to transform into a streak of light, swinging the black spear down.

The black spear pierced into a flat patch of ground, and viscous green liquid gushed out like a fountain!

The next moment, the tentacles retreated into the ground.

Unsurprisingly, the monster underground escaped.

Everyone in the camp was still on edge, but after remaining vigilant for a long time, no new tentacles emerged, and everyone couldn't help but relax their tense nerves.

"Ah!"

The next moment, many soldiers hugged the corpses of their dead comrades and wailed.

......

Su Mo piloted the mech around the ravaged camp, his heart sinking even further. Although they had repelled the monsters, he felt no joy in his heart.

.....

The next day, when faint rays of dawn shone in.

The camp had been rebuilt.

Corpses were neatly laid out together, and the sound of muffled sobs could be heard.

Chen Shan, with red eyes, said to Su Mo, who was standing beside him, "Twenty-two of our men died. No one expected the monsters to emerge from the ground."

Su Mo replied wearily, "We were careless."

At this moment, Xiao Wen and Ze Mu were discussing in low voices, eventually reaching an agreement.

Then, soldiers picked up oil drums and began to pour oil on the bodies of their dead comrades. Then they lit the fire, which burned fiercely.

Xiao Wen walked over and said to Chen Shan, whose eyes were red.

"After it's burned, find a place to dig a pit and bury their ashes."

"Not taking them back to the Black Hawk?"

Chen Shan raised his head and asked Xiao Wen through gritted teeth.

"There are clear regulations above. All personnel below the rank of general. All who die are cremated and buried on the spot, and are not allowed to be brought back to the Black Hawk."

Xiao Wen sighed and said.

Of course, this was done to avoid bringing unknown viruses back to the ship.

"I understand."

Chen Shan lowered his head and replied.

"Cheer up, our mission is not over yet, we don't know what kind of monster attacks we will face next."

Xiao Wen whispered in consolation.

At this time, Su Mo asked, "What about the injured?"

"They need to be sent to the GT department's medical team as soon as possible. Some of the more seriously injured soldiers have already become delirious and can only be tied up."

Xiao Wen lowered his voice and explained the situation to Su Mo.

"Then send them over quickly."

Su Mo didn't say much.

"In this attack, Ze Mu's people suffered the most severe losses, with fifty-one dead and more than seventy lightly wounded. So they can't spare enough manpower to escort the injured to the GT medical unit, so I discussed it with him, and Su Mo, you and Chen Shan will take a trip together."

Xiao Wen explained.

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded in agreement.
