Chapter 37 Monster "Lieutenant Colonel, you guys hurry up! I'm here!" The Prussian army had begun to approach, but De Leon had not given any orders, which made Moreno a little anxious. "Everyone retreat." Finally, De Leon gave the order to retreat. After hearing the order, the surrounding French soldiers began to run hurriedly behind them, and their footsteps made dull puffing sounds in the muddy trenches. "Lieutenant Colonel?! Are you really going to leave him here alone?" Stephen was a little bit incredulous when he heard De Leon's words. "Follow orders!" De Leon's voice was firm and decisive. "Yes!" Stephen pursed his lips. He wanted to stay and fight with Moreno against the Prussian army that was about to attack, but orders were orders, and he had no choice but to retreat behind him. "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you should leave too!" The other French soldiers began to retreat and dived into the dense woods, but De Leon still lay motionless in the trench. Moreno urged them hurriedly. "Go away, kid. Leave this to an old man like me." De Leon's voice became calm and gentle. "You are a good kid. It is really rare for you to be so sincere even though you grew up in such an environment. So you have to live on. Maybe you can change something. It is enough for me, an old guy, to be here." De Leon turned his head to look at Moreno, and when Moreno saw De Leon's face clearly, he was shocked. The pair of golden eyes that had not lit up for decades were lit up again, like two golden balls of light. Some small green scales began to spread on De Leon's cheeks little by little, and his hands holding the gun began to turn into sharp claws, and his pointed nails flashed a cold light.
There were still crisp sounds coming from his body, as if his bones were constantly breaking and reorganizing, and each sound seemed to be announcing an irreversible mutation. "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel..." Moreno stared blankly at De Leon who was gradually turning into a monster, his heart filled with shock and fear. "Go quickly, kid, the farther away from here the better, before my mind completely disappears." Deron's voice became rough and hoarse, and his heavy breathing sounded like the growl of a wild beast. He felt that his mind was gradually being replaced by a desire to destroy everything, and the light in his eyes became more and more violent. Under De Leon's gaze, Moreno began to run behind the defense line, and every step seemed so heavy and difficult. "Vanya, I'm coming to see you. My sins are finally going to be washed away today. I wonder if you will despise me for being an old man when you see me again." Deron murmured in a low voice, with endless sadness and relief in his tone. When Moreno was completely out of his sight, De León took out his pocket watch again. His hands, which had turned into sharp claws, carefully stroked the beautiful woman in the photo, fearing that he would damage her. His horrified face was so gentle at this moment, as if he was telling a love that would never be forgotten. ……………… "What's going on?" Lu Mingfei put down the gun in his hand with some confusion. The sound of gunfire from the French position in the woods opposite completely disappeared, and even the heartbeats were constantly escaping the detection range of the sickle-weasel. In the end, only one heartbeat was left in the French position. "Are they planning to escape? Just leaving one person behind to cover their retreat?" Lu Mingfei asked Kaczynski beside him in disbelief. The woods were eerily quiet at this time. A group of Prussian soldiers looked ahead and saw nothing moving. They walked forward cautiously to investigate, and the dead leaves rustled under their feet. Lu Mingfei and his men joined up with the main attacking force this morning and together they attacked the last line of defense in the woods of Kore. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and smoke. "Something's wrong..." Kaczynski looked ahead with a serious expression. The heartbeat in the French position was getting louder and louder, and the beating speed was getting faster and faster. It was completely unlike what a human could produce, as if something incredible was about to happen. "Do you feel a little hot?" Paul took off his helmet and fanned himself. Even beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. Remember, it snowed heavily here yesterday. "Indeed..." Lu Mingfei also felt a little hot, and the air began to become very dry, his lips even cracked. "Look!" Xier pointed to the ground and found that the snow on the ground was melting at a very fast speed. "Something's wrong...something's wrong..." Kaczynski muttered to himself. Everything happening around him was so strange. He vaguely felt something was wrong, and a deep fear began to grow in his heart. "Run!" Suddenly, Kaczynski and Lu Mingfei's faces changed drastically and they shouted together, with great urgency and panic in their voices. Just now, in addition to the heartbeat sound, there were also some crisp sounds. The moment the crisp sounds disappeared, the heartbeat sound also disappeared. Lu Mingfei and Kaczynski discovered that the elves transformed from sickle-weasels did not dare to get close to the heartbeat. They were afraid of that place, as if some unspeakable horror was hidden there.
Suddenly, a raging flame engulfed the Prussian soldiers who were going to explore the French position, and the flames tore through the woods like a ferocious beast. "Flamethrower? No...impossible..." Lu Mingfei and the others watched in horror what was happening in front of them. The flames instantly turned the Prussian soldiers in front of them into ashes. The scorching flames also ignited the surrounding trees. The French position instantly turned into a sea of fire. A flamethrower could not possibly be so powerful. Footsteps were heard, and a figure slowly walked out of the sea of fire. When Lu Mingfei and the others saw the figure walking out of the flames, a sense of fear surged in everyone's heart, as if they had seen a demon from hell. The figure was covered in green scales all over, and its golden pupils shone with a captivating light. Everyone who was swept by those eyes was trembling with fear, and they could hardly hold their guns steadily. No one dared to act rashly, and they all stood there staring at the monster in a daze. "Deadpool..." Kaczynski muttered to himself as he looked at the figure, his voice filled with deep despair and fear. "What is Deadpool?" Lu Mingfei hurriedly asked Kaczynski beside him, his heart full of confusion and anxiety. "Ah!" A soldier couldn't bear the pressure of being stared at by the monster, so he raised his gun and shot at the monster. The gunshot was like a signal. When the other Prussian soldiers heard the gunshot, they all subconsciously raised their guns and shot at the monster. They started shooting, and the gunshots suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield, as if a storm had suddenly arrived. Lu Mingfei did not ask Kaczynski what Deadpool was. He concentrated on shooting at the monster. The moment his fingertips pulled the trigger, his heart beat faster and his blood seemed to be burning. But surprisingly, the bullets from the rifle only created some sparks when hitting the green scales of the monster before being bounced off. Only the continuous shooting from the machine gun could barely create a crack in the scales of the monster. At first the monster just stood there and let the bullets shoot at it. These bullets seemed to be tickling him, until the sound of machine gun fire rang out, and a small piece of his green scales was shattered. His black blood, as red as petroleum, dripped onto the ground with a sizzling sound, corroding a small hole in the ground like sulfuric acid. The monster seemed to be enraged, and he stomped his feet on the ground and ran towards the machine gunner at an extremely fast speed. His speed was so fast that people could not see his figure clearly. He approached the target as if he had teleported, and even left a shadow behind. "Be careful!" Lu Mingfei shouted, but it was too late. The monster's sharp claws had already scratched the machine gunner's body, and blood spurted out, staining the ground red. The machine gunner didn't even have time to scream before he was torn to pieces by the monster. The surrounding Prussian soldiers watched this scene in horror. They had never seen such a terrifying creature before, and the weapons in their hands seemed to have become useless toys. The monster continued to move forward, leaving deep footprints on the ground with every step, and the flames danced around him as if cheering for him.
