About This Novel
72 hours is the countdown to life and death. The steel fort on Fiery Cross Reef in the South China Sea lay dormant silently under the scorching sun. In the shadow of the twin cannons, recruit Xiao Lin's sweat dripped into the cracks in the sight. The horizon in the distance is being swallowed up by ink - that's not a tide, it's a legion of "Sea Eclipsers" covered in biological armor. They tear through the waves, resist naval guns, and the blue plasma beam instantly melts through the concrete fortifications. "Ammunition is limited, hold on to your position!" The commander's roar was drowned in the roar of the monster's arthropods hitting the reef. The rookie and the veteran had their backs against the hot barrel, and the blood from manual loading was steaming in the pile of shells. When the J-15 fell into the sea dragging black smoke, and when the claws shattered the bulletproof glass, Xiaolin screamed out the unfinished words in his suicide note: "Da Niu! I'll treat you to an ice-cold Coke in three days-" The countdown timer pulsed bright red: 71 hours and 48 minutes. ? The meat grinder of steel and flesh starts at this moment.
