As they moved forward, they passed through the forest and did not meet up with the retreating troops.
This was because the artillery squad that Zhang Daoling and Wang Ziming were escorting did not follow the same route as the retreating troops.
On one hand, they did not want to implicate the retreating troops. On the other hand, when the two of them were fighting, the artillery squad guarding 50 people was their limit and they did not have the time to help the other soldiers.
This route was personally chosen by the commander-in-chief, Zheng Xinglong.
Compared to the other evacuation routes, the route was shorter and took less time.
Thus, the possibility of encountering a mysterious mutated creature attack was reduced.
Walking in the forest, other than the gunshots and the cries of birds of prey, there was no other sound.
The creatures that were originally living here had long been scared away by the previous battle, or had been hunted and eaten by birds of prey.
According to common sense, there wouldn’t be any danger here. However, ever since the mysterious mutated creature appeared, the forest had become extremely unsafe.
Especially since the other party’s intelligence was quite smart, the possibility of the artillery squad being attacked was even higher.
“Bang! !”
At this moment, there was a sound coming from the left in front. Judging from the position, it should be the retreating unit that was walking ahead of them.
Wang ziming frowned slightly. Although there were several supers guarding the place, he was still a little worried about the situation there.
“Bang! !”
However, the sound did not seem to have ended. It continued to come from afar, accompanied by a rather dense gunshots.
After only half a minute, the gunshots that were still ringing rapidly decreased in frequency until they completely disappeared.
This was not a good sign. Wang Ziming’s heart tightened.
“Boom! !”
Immediately after, a violent explosion sounded. The air flow from the explosion surged to the surroundings and also blew to the position of Wang Ziming and the others.
Looking at the tree branches that were rustling above, the few superhumans present felt that something was not right.
Wang Ziming raised his hand to signal for the team to stop moving forward.
Ever since the last explosion, the retreating troops in the distance had not made any sound.
They were afraid that something bad had happened and they had all been wiped out.
If Wang Ziming did not hear wrongly, the previous explosion should have been caused by a warm-pressure grenade.
This was a grenade that used the temperature and pressure effects of explosives to cause a large-scale explosion.
Its power was more than ten times that of an ordinary grenade.
The enemy’s strength must have exceeded their expectations. They had even used the thermobaric grenade.
Wang Ziming’s gaze was fixed on the surrounding forest. He did not think that the thermobaric grenade alone could kill the attacking creatures.
They had to be vigilant. The mysterious mutated creature had obviously noticed that the human side had retreated.
They planned to use this opportunity to create some trouble for them. Their artillery squad would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
Their previous actions were probably to find their positions. That was why they had bumped into the retreating squad in the distance.
“Whoosh!”
A white shadow flashed in front of Zhang Daoling’s line of sight and disappeared into the forest.
Was it him? !
Zhang Daoling could not help but think of the giant shadow that had made him suffer many losses that day. If it really was the other party, then all of these actions could be completely explained.
Thinking of this, he clenched the two fists in his hands, brewing air currents, and prepared to meet the enemy.
“Hu ~”
Hot air came out from the artillery soldier’s mouth. He did not know if it was his misconception, but he felt that the temperature around him was getting lower and lower.
In fact, this was not his misconception, because Catelyn, who was wearing a magic robe, had also noticed this phenomenon.
He gripped the magic staff in his hand tightly and shook it a few times in all directions. Immediately, the dark green gemstone on the top of the magic staff suddenly lit up and burst out with bursts of light.
Catelyn was shocked and hurriedly said.
“There is a large-scale surge of energy in this area. The enemy is using their ability. Master, be careful!”
It gently tapped the staff in its hand and activated a semi-transparent energy shield around Wang Ziming’s body.
Wang Ziming said helplessly.
“Catyn, compared to me, you should give the artillery at the back an energy shield. Their bodies are much weaker than mine.”
The Beastman mage Catyn also came to a sudden realization. He quickly used his staff to face the artillery at the back and activated a huge energy shield to wrap them up.
“I was careless, but I still think that master’s life is more important than these ordinary humans.”
The Beastman warrior beside him, Aldham, pulled out the dual blades at his waist and said indignantly.
“Caitlin, master and these humans have protective shields. Should I have one too?”
Facing Aldham’s question, Caitlin replied indifferently.
[ you have thick skin, there shouldn’t be a need, right? And how many times have I told you, remember to add a Mr. Mage when you talk to me, Understand? ]
Aldham added the twin blades with blazing flames and said impatiently.
[ understood, understood, dear Mr. Mage Catelyn. Oh, my respected Sir Mage, how about giving me a protective shield? ]
Seeing that the two seemed to be arguing again, Wang Ziming could only speak up.
“Catain, give Odum an energy shield.”
As he spoke, he took out a glass bottle from his waist and threw it at catain.
