Bang Bang!!
Two intense explosions erupted abruptly in the underground tunnel.
The explosive sound is thunderous in the cramped and confined space!
Along with the explosions, there were cries of pain and agony.
But just a moment later, the cries of pain ceased abruptly!
These "black melon" are about the same size as a regular hand grenade.
However, the inside is filled with blue explosives!
The standard offensive hand grenades usually contain approximately 50 grams of TNT explosive.
Although the "black melon" thrown in by Grey Wolf has the same dosage of 50 grams, the destructive power of blue explosives is a whopping nine times that of ordinary TNT explosives!!
In other words, the 50 grams of blue explosives are equivalent to 450 grams of TNT explosives!
What does 450 grams of TNT explosives mean?
In this narrow underground tunnel, the explosive power of this level is almost equivalent to that of a heavy mortar shell!
Just then, Grey Wolf threw out two of these "black melon"!
Fortunately, the underground fortress was built by the squid for defense against mushroom strikes.
It is extremely sturdy and durable; otherwise, with the explosive power of such bombs, most underground fortifications would likely not withstand it...
After a moment, the underground tunnel returned to calm.
Whether it's cries, explosions, or any other sound, they have all disappeared completely.
The other heat sources within the tunnel had also quickly dispersed from the night-vision helmets of Grey Wolf and others.
The dead squid bodies that were cleaned up by the "black melon" were already beginning to cool down at an observable rate with the naked eye.
Following the same action, he directly tore open the steel door in front of him that was in ruins, and Grey Wolf took out another EMP landmine and anesthetic smoke bomb, which he threw into the steep staircase channel in front of him.
Bang! Bang!!!
Shortly after the EMP mine detonated, a series of violent explosions suddenly sounded!
"It's explosives!"
"The squids have set up bombs inside the tunnel!"
Almost instantly, Grey Wolf and others were able to deduce the source of the explosion sounds.
These explosions were similar to the explosives tied to the human hostage of the Bar Camel and the squid impersonating a Bar Camel.
Clearly, there are similar bombs present in this tunnel as well!
Unlike the previous bombs that needed detonators to explode, these.
This time, the squids seem to have prepared bombs that will explode immediately after a power outage or destruction of electronic devices!
Compared to the remote-controlled bombs, this method of detonation is more primitive.
But similarly, it has a higher resistance to EMP mines!
Of course, the consequence is that, once the power or controller is disconnected, the bomb will explode directly, and people around the bomb may not even have time to react.
And this person who couldn't react was not only the hostage but also possibly the squid.
Buzz...
Among the faint rotor sounds, several micro-drones carrying mechanical dogs took off directly.
They flew into the channel once again, enveloped in smoke.
Not long after, information from within the tunnel came through.
"The tunnel is 6 meters deep and 27 meters long, no signs of life were found..."
……
Damn it! Damn it! What is that thing outside?
At the same time, a squid commander carrying a leaf on his shoulder watched the dark screen in front of him, his face ashen. He was standing at a depth of thirty meters deep underground.
The sound of shock and anger constantly came from his mouth.
A wave of fear surged forth from his heart like an overwhelming tide.
Ten minutes!
Less than ten minutes, the over one thousand elite forces equipped outside were directly broken through!
That was the number of elite forces left in their squid village.
Armored helicopters, main battle tanks, and everything else!
And so many permanent fortifications that are dark and light, able to withstand heavy artillery bombings!
Such a strong defense would be enough to keep the camels from breaking through even if they sent a fully equipped heavy armored division!
However, now, all of these so-called abnormal defenses have been breached like crumbling grass!
Even more so, once the defense was breached outside...
It took less than five minutes!
The underground fortress he was in, capable of defending against mushrooms, was breached in just two layers of defense!
Half a meter thick, weighing tens of tons, and able to withstand mushroom bombings, the alloy doors were unable to hold out even for five minutes in the face of that completely unknown force outside!
As were the defensive forces he had set up.
Theoretically speaking, in that narrow tunnel, even if he had set up heavy machine guns, just one assault rifle or carbine would be enough to hold back thousands of troops!
Even if grenades were thrown down from above, there would be no fear.
After all, when the underground fortress was designed, the channel wasn't straight.
To prevent possible mushroom shock waves from destroying the defense above the fortress, these channels were designed with turns and curves.
If grenades were thrown in, as long as the soldiers' eyes weren't blind and they took a bit of cover, the grenades would be blocked by those obstacles.
With these defenses, even if he only had a few dozen people, he could hold out against hundreds or even thousands of attackers!
However, in less than five minutes, two layers of defense were breached!
And he didn't even know whether the ones breaking through were humans or something else.
Each time the steel gate outside was broken, those strange devices that looked like landmines were thrown in, and the cameras he had set up or other listening and monitoring equipment he had deployed would be instantly destroyed!
And he became blind and deaf directly!
Even the cables and communication equipment they had buried in the walls when they built the fortress a long time ago were directly destroyed!
All of his external communication channels have been completely blocked!
Fortunately, the power supply of their underground fortress was independent and they also had enough fuel to generate power.
Otherwise, they might already be completely without power and blind...
However, even if there was still electricity, their situation would be extremely dire!
Now they had completely lost the ability to communicate externally, and it was already impossible to request help.
The enemy could arrive at any moment, and they were completely unable to seek assistance.
Thinking of these things, the squid commander's face showed even more intense anger and fear!
He snapped back to his senses after a while, the squid commander looked fierce and said:
"No, I cannot wait here and die! I must find a way to stop those damned creatures outside!"
In a fit of madness, the squid commander directly turned his gaze towards the hundred weak and humiliated Bar Camel hostages, who were tied up and kneeling on the ground without any dignity.
The defenses outside were strong enough to resist mushrooms, but could not withstand the mysterious force that had no known origin.
The enemy was only two defense lines away from him now.
If the enemy completely breaks through the fortress's defenses, his only option will be death!
His only option now was to make a preemptive strike!
Take the initiative into his own hands!
At least, he needs to figure out what those attacking the fortress are!
"Garba, take a few hostages with you and go out to check what's going on outside. Let these damned Bar Camels lead the way, and if any abnormal situations are discovered, they can be used as rear-guards directly. What to do should be clear without me saying it."
The squid commander spoke directly.
Upon hearing this, a thin man standing next to the squid commander showed a somewhat unsettled expression.
Have him take hostages out?
They had no idea about the situation outside.
The only thing they could be sure of was that the enemy attacking them was a terrifying force they had never encountered before!
More than one thousand soldiers, along with all of their heavy equipment and fortifications, couldn't withstand the terrifying force for even ten minutes!
Such a force, and to send him to investigate?
What's the difference between sending him to die and sending him to investigate?
"Garba, this is an order!"
"Do you want to be a deserter and a traitor?!!"
Just as Garba was hesitating, it seemed that he sensed Garba's thoughts, and the squid commander immediately became enraged.
Upon hearing this, Garba's expression grew uglier.
But in the end, looking at the unkind gaze of the commander in front of him, Garba could only grit his teeth and accept the commander's order.
Not long after, Garba called a few squid soldiers and, like herding cattle or sheep, he handily pulled up the kneeling Bar Camel hostages and tied explosives to them. Then, he pointed a rifle at the hostages and opened the iron gate of the underground fortress.
"Close the door!" As soon as Garba left, the squid commander gave an order without hesitation, directly closing and locking the iron gate to the last passage leading to the underground fortress.
He didn't know whether Garba could complete the mission.
But regardless of whether he can complete the task, he definitely cannot wait for the enemy to come back.
At least, he won't let the enemy come back until he is certain that the situation is absolutely safe!
This door is his last line of defense!
As he heard the sound of the iron gate closing behind him outside the safe passage, Garba's face also grew uglier and uglier.
But he didn't say anything either, just strongly suppressing the anger in his heart, he hit the back of a camel with one hand tied up in front of him with a gun butt:
"Move faster!!"
Under the fierce blow of one hand, the camel that had already been severely beaten and tortured and lacked food stumbled and almost fell directly to his knees!
They had been captured for more than a week!
In that week, they were not only frequently beaten and humiliated but also didn't receive food.
Every day, the squid gave them at most some moldy bread or leftover soup.
Even to humiliate them, the squids would defecate and urinate in front of them, forcing them to eat the filth as if it were food!
If they refuse, the squids will force-feed them!
Even threatening to harm their families to force them to eat.
All sorts of sexual violence, mutilation, and abuse of children.
These squids can say they've gone to extremes!
At first, there were about three hundred camels here.
Now there are fewer than 200 camels left.
And even the remaining ones were thin and weak!
"Hurry up! If you don't move, I'll drag your daughter out and feed her to the dogs!"
Before the camel he hit could stabilize, Garba's angry voice rang out again.
Upon hearing this, the already weak camel couldn't help but glare at Garba with hatred and gritted his teeth.
Just thinking about his daughter, the weak camel couldn't help but want to devour and tear the squid in front of him!
His daughter, his daughter, was only six years old!
But his six-year-old daughter was on the brink of death in less than a week after falling into the hands of these squids!
These beastly squids, not even his six-year-old daughter, could they let go!
"Slave, dare you look?"
Noticing the almost cannibalistic gaze of the Bar Camel, Garba became angry immediately.
Another gun butt was heavily smashed onto the eye socket of the male camel.
In an instant, the male Bar Camel's eye socket directly broke, and even the eyeball inside had already sunk in.
The crimson blood flowed from the eye socket instantaneously...
The already weak male camel couldn't keep up, and fell to the ground directly!
"Get up! Hurry up!"
Looking at the fallen Bar Camel man, Garba showed no mercy and slammed a gun butt onto the man again, shouting angrily.
Seeing this scene, several other camels around him became furious.
The weak camel struggled to get up.
But the next moment—
Bang!!!
With a loud gunshot, all the struggling was forced to stop.
"You wretches, what are you doing? Hurry up and move!"
With one shot, he beheaded the camel man who was lying on the ground, and Garba looked at the remaining camel hostages with anger and roared.
The huge roar, in this sealed underground passage, was deafening!
With the sound of the recent gunshot, the camels that were still struggling began to tremble in both body and soul.
All their courage dispersed directly in this moment.
"You wretches are wretches! Can't you just listen to me obediently? Why do you have to look for death?"
Looking at the camel hostages who had once again become fearful and numb, several squid soldiers around Garba's face showed a sinister smile of cruelty.
At this moment——
Hum!!
A strange fluctuation, directly rolling in from a distance!
Within an instant, it had spread over the entire underground passage.
"Ahh!!"
Almost at the same time as the strange fluctuation rolled in, a series of painful screams, uncontrollably emanated from the mouths of Garba and the others.
At the same time, sparks of electricity began to flash on the walls around.
The next moment, all the lights and electronic devices were instantly destroyed!
The entire passage was completely dark!
"Damn it! What the hell is this?!!"
After what felt like an eternity, feeling dizzy, Garba finally managed to pull himself together and shouted without restraint.
However, before someone on the side could answer—
Boom!!!
A loud explosion echoed abruptly in the underground passage.
"What kind of noise?"
The sudden sound startled all the squids who had just recovered.
Their eyes instinctively moved towards the source of the sound.
Boom!!
Boom!!! Before the squids could think any more, another loud explosion resounded.
"It's the entrance of the fortress!"
This time, Garba also reacted, and a trace of uncontrollable fear quickly appeared on his face.
"Has the last defense line been broken through?"
A terrifying idea suddenly appeared in Garba's mind uncontrollably.
Here, they were already the last passage leading directly to the underground fortress.
Not far from there, beyond the steel gate, was the last line of defense of the underground fortress, apart from them.
Thinking of this, Garba's saliva flowed uncontrollably.
Looking at the dark passage like a abyss, unparalleled fear, like a tidal wave, violently surged up in his heart!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Just as Garba was in a state of panic, a series of deafening collision sounds kept resounding in the darkness.
The huge sounds were like the death toll in the underworld!
Accompanied by the endless darkness, at this moment, all the squids couldn't help but tremble.
Darkness is the best camouflage, just as it is also the biggest source of fear!
"G…Garba captain, we…we…"
