Chapter 42: The Soul of the War God (Part 2)

Night enveloped the entire world, and Zhan Xia Ge and the others fell asleep standing in the mud. The waves gently lapped against their bodies, and the bodies of comrades tied with cloth and crocodile bodies rose and fell together, turning the bright moon on the sea surface into countless fragments of light and shadows.
When the seawater surged onto his body again and again, soaking his sun-scorched naked skin, it would bring waves of burning pain. Sometimes, a slightly larger wave would completely cover the song. Zhanxiage would groggily open his eyes for a moment, find no danger, and then fall back asleep.
He was just too tired—more tired than anyone else!
Huang Zhipeng called out in a voice choked with tears in Zhanxiage's ear, "Big brother, wake up!" ”
Zhanxiage suddenly opened his eyes. He squinted carefully and glanced at the sun already floating overhead. A rough calculation showed they had been soaking in the sea for at least twenty hours! Zhanxiage waved his arms slightly, almost jumping up in pain. On his bare chest, large patches of sun-scorched skin appeared, seawater soaking them. That burning sensation was like approaching the gentlest torture!
Zhanxiage rubbed his eyes and casually swept in the direction of Huang Zhipeng's finger. His pupils suddenly contracted into the most dangerous pin-like shape. Suddenly, more than twenty crocodiles appeared before them, and these crocodiles had already surrounded them! Constantly swimming across the outer sea was the largest crocodile!
Zhanxiage used a military knife to cut his own clothes, quickly twisted it into a cloth rope, and tightly tied himself and Huang Zhipeng together. He glanced at the others, and after each of them slightly waved their arms, despair appeared on their faces.
Huang Zhipeng suddenly cried out, "Big brother, look!" ”
The waves had already broken free from the bodies of the brothers they had tied with cloth, breaking free from their protection. Several crocodiles pounced together. Although tens of meters apart, the sound of crocodiles biting bones with teeth still clearly reached everyone's ears.
Everyone stared blankly at the comrade who had been dismembered. Zhan Xiaoge grabbed a cloth strip floating in the seawater and slowly wrapped the military knife in his hand layer by layer, wrapping it tightly layer by layer, whispering, "Everyone, let your fate decide." ”
No gunshots fired, no roars—the bloody battle between man and crocodile began once again! In their first encounter, the two sailors were struck down by the swarmed crocodiles, and their swords stabbed hard into the eyes of both crocodiles! Where they had been knocked down, blisters and large pools of blood would rise.
Zhanxiage and Huang Zhipeng stood tightly back-to-back, their hands gripping their swords trembling from excessive force, tears glistening at the corners of their eyes. Beside them were two more crocodile corpses, and their companions were all ...... Disappeared!
Staring at the hungry, wide-open mouths before them, the two could only squeeze tighter together. They felt each other's heartbeat as fiercely as war drums, absorbing each other's warmth and courage. Without their life-and-death companions who could confidently entrust their backs to each other, they definitely wouldn't have lasted this moment!
Because they all knew that if they fell, the brother tightly bound by the cloth would inevitably face death immediately!
"Crash!"
A black bolt of lightning crashed fiercely toward them. Zhanxiage and Huang Zhipeng both gave wry smiles. They hadn't expected these crocodiles to be smart, launching a fierce attack from a blind spot where even their military blades couldn't cover them. Even if the crocodile couldn't kill any of them, once they knocked them down, they would never be able to stand up again on their own!
Their left hands clenched tightly, and they heard each other's whisper: "Brother, take care......"
Zhanxia Ge's nose suddenly tingled. This was probably the last minute, or even the last few seconds of their life in the world!
Both of them closed their eyes.
"Whew......"
Zhan Xiagege and Huang Zhipeng felt as if their hearts had been struck hard by a massive hammer. They could clearly feel that under this absolute pressure, their hearts instantly came to a halt. Stars danced wildly before their eyes, and 150 or 60 war drums rang in their ears relentlessly. Their bodies bound together shook involuntarily, followed by waves roaring and crashing down on them, knocking them down and sending them sliding seven or eight meters through the water.
Zhan Xiagege and Huang Zhipeng rolled in the water like a lump of flesh, rolling fifteen or sixteen times. They instinctively opened their mouths and drank seven or eight mouthfuls of seawater before Zhan Xiagege suddenly snapped back to reality. With a swing of his military knife, he cut the cloth strip binding them. When they struggled to get up, the entire underwater surface was in chaos. The twenty or so crocodiles that had just been arrogant looked like a group of young virgins cornered by perverts, stumbling up and down in the water, letting out desperate, frenzied, and hysterical screams.
They scattered like birds and beasts, wagging their big tails and crawling toward the shore, swimming into the deep sea. At that moment, another sharp whistle came from the sky, followed by the extremely rapid barrage of the GSH-301 single-barrel revolver-type machine gun!
"Rat-tat-tat......"
A wave suddenly rose on the sea, like the sword of the god of thunder, surging forward at lightning speed. Before the first wave even reached its peak, this dense, almost imperceptible wave was already pushed forward by seventy or eighty meters!
This scene looked like the masterpiece of the Water Goddess, suddenly struck by a sense of speed and power, accompanied by a subtle elegance and fluidity. This was a death dance led by the god of death. Several crocodiles screamed in agony, instantly shattered to pieces by the 30mm shells fired by the GSH-301 machine gun. Their flesh, their bones, their blood scattered wildly into this sea where they once flaunted their might, believing themselves to be the sky, the earth, the rulers, and the gods!
"Brush ......"
"Brush ......"
Two 330-kilogram missiles stretched straight tails in the air, instantly catching up to the crocodiles that had climbed to the shore and were about to scatter and flee.
Zhan Xiagege immediately lunged down, using his body to knock down Huang Zhipeng, who had just stood up.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two masses of steel mixed with steel grains, stones, and crocodile flesh shot skyward, carrying thick smoke and absolute scorching heat, radiating outward at over 600 meters per second. Within a radius of 150 meters, a torrential downpour poured down on the sea surface!
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, a giant wave exploded in the sea, piercing the sky. Zhanxiage and Huang Zhipeng, who were submerged in the water, felt an irresistible rushing current crash toward them, and they were involuntarily pushed underwater by another eleven or twelve meters. Zhanxiage and Huang Zhipeng stared at each other in the water. With such a commotion and such terrifying attack effect, could another 875-kilogram missile have been smashed into the sea?!
