Chapter 7: The Lake of Death (Part I)
Ah Wei ran to Shi Shaoying's side and shouted, "Big brother, give me the squint eyes." β
"You carry so many guys on your back, can you still carry them?"
In order to give their team enough firepower, Squint wore the most defensive but heaviest body armor, and he carried hundreds of rounds of machine gun ammunition, an M60 general-purpose machine gun, an automatic grenade launcher, a mountain knife, a self-defense pistol, four grenade drums and twelve grenades. Coupled with bulletproof helmets, walkie-talkies, military kettles and other weapons and equipment, his total weight has exceeded 90 kilograms, if he hands over the squint eye to Avi, even with Avi's amazing physical strength, in this kind of surface covered with a layer of soft bird droppings, once the strength is not well mastered, it is easy to be pinned to the small island by sharp stones hidden under the bird droppings, and the speed will be greatly reduced.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
β¦β¦ Several shouts sounded around him in a row, and seeing five or six team members squeezing to his side and stretching out their hands, Shi Shaoying shouted loudly: "Don't panic!" Don't mess around! Stay in formation, keep your running speed and breathing rhythm as you are on the training ground! We will not give up on any of our brothers, not in the past, not now, and not in the future! I don't believe it, I didn't die on the battlefield, I didn't die in the hands of terrorists, today I will be under the mouth of an ant, Lao Tzu is a stubborn donkey, the meat of the whole body is stinky and hard, can they bite and gnaw it?! β
Before the words fell, he suddenly stepped on a stone like the tip of a bamboo shoot, Shi Shaoying slipped under his feet suddenly, and the whole person fell forward, because he ran too fast with the squint behind him, he rolled on the ground a few times before jumping up again, reached out and grabbed the squint eye and threw him on the shoulder again, and then spread his legs and continued to run.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
The slanted eyes on his shoulders suddenly let out a series of coughs, Shi Shaoying understood the reason for this situation after a little thought, and he laughed wildly: "Squint, don't you really like struvite stones, just now you stuck out your tongue and wanted to lick your chin twice, now it's okay, brother, I'll help you bite a few bites directly, can you tell us, what is the taste of these all-natural and healthiest guano?" Hahaha......"
was thrown to the ground by Shi Shaoying, gnawed a few mouthfuls of bird droppings with one mouth, and now coughed so much that his lungs were breaking the squint eyes, he rolled his eyes wordlessly, stretched out the middle finger of his right hand, and gestured twice at the corner of Shi Shaoying's eyes.
It was in such a frantic escape that roared, screamed and ran, that Shi Shaoying and the others finally rushed all the way to the salt lake before the ant colony caught up. Before he could rush into the lake, a series of screams came from the saltwater lake in front of him.
The pirates who ran in front of them rushed straight into the lake without hesitation, and before they had time to breathe a long sigh of relief, the intense pain to the limit stabbed their brains from their bodies immersed in the lake, and their eyes widened while screaming, and it was only at this time that they noticed that a group of fish ten or twenty centimeters long surrounded them, opening their mouths to reveal the sharp teeth inside and constantly biting their bodies, don't look at these fish are not big, one bite down, you can tear down the meat the size of a chess piece.
In the blink of an eye, the surface of the originally calm lake was covered with a layer of bright red.
Seeing this shocking scene, the pirates who followed closely behind those companions all stopped suddenly, and several pirates who had already rushed into the lake jumped out of the lake as if they were electrocuted.
Some of the fish jumped up from the water, and after biting the flesh of the pirates, they suddenly twisted their bodies, and with this tearing force, they tore off pieces of flesh three or four centimeters long from the bodies of those people, and the whole body was covered with such wounds, and the blood gushed out like a fountain, and under the stunned gaze of everyone, the pirates struggled out more than ten meters away, In the end, he fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss and fell headlong in the lake.
Around them, the water splashed wildly, and no one knew how many of the fish with sharp teeth that attacked wildly at the sight of humans were tearing around their bodies.
"Piranhas? It's impossible! β
The slanted eyes that were still carried on the shoulders of Shi Shaoying widened, and he cried out in a lost voice: "The piranhas we usually talk about are actually referring to the red-bellied sawfish carp, most of them are distributed in the Amazon River, the Olinoco River, and the CuiabΓ‘ River, this kind of fish is a standard freshwater fish, and it is impossible to survive in the seawater......
"Smack!"
Before he could speak, Shi Shaoying threw him directly into the guano under his feet, "What are you talking about freshwater fish and saltwater fish, now these piranhas have just bitten four people to death in front of us, what the fuck is the use of academic research now?" β
There were a large number of piranhas in the lake in front of them that should not exist in the seawater, and dozens of meters behind them, an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions of man-eating ants with a strong sour smell that made people dizzy after a few sips was swooping murderously.
"York, I'll fuck your grandmother, didn't you rob you of three million, can you use such a dead hand?"
First scolded fiercely, looked at the splashing water, the surface of which had been dyed into a red salt lake, and then looked at the army of man-eating ants swept over like a black torrent, Shi Shaoying gritted his teeth fiercely and shouted: "Avi, use a howitzer to bombard me!" I don't care what method you use, block the swarm of broken ants behind me for a minute! β
Avi gasped and nodded vigorously, activated the automatic grenade launcher, and with a pull of the trigger, several 30 mm grenades were fired at the swarm.
The sound of grenade explosions is continuous, in this special occasion of fighting man-eating ants, the automatic weapons in the hands of others except Avi have become ornaments, no matter how fierce the firepower of the bullets they shoot, how many ants can a rifle bullet of 7.62 mm caliber kill a single shot? Only with howitzers, a single bombardment can blow up a large blank space, and the ant colony is clearly afraid of the smoke of the grenade explosion.
If there were only a few thousand, or even one or twenty thousand man-eating ants, it was really possible for Avi to block their attack with the automatic grenade launcher in his hand, and even consider destroying most of them regardless of the loss of ammunition.
But now in front of Avi is an army of hundreds of thousands of man-eating ants! Although the maximum radius of 30 mm caliber grenade can reach 15 meters, that refers to the radius covered by its shrapnel, and it is by no means that the explosion point formed by its explosion can be as terrifying as a radius of 15 meters. Avi must keep shooting in order to use grenades to explode again and again to stop the invasion of the black ant tide.
The last dozen or so pirates were clearly frightened by what they saw, and they all knew that when Avi shot all the grenades, it was the time for the ant colony to pounce on them without hindrance. I don't know who took the lead first, and a group of people ran along the lake, as if they wanted to take advantage of Avi's opportunity to block the ant colony's pursuit and escape.
Shi Shaoying didn't do this because he didn't believe that someone who could set such a terrible trap, and even allow freshwater piranhas to survive in the seawater, would leave such an obvious loophole! Shi Shaoying took a deep breath, and took advantage of the gap between the howitzer bombardment, and shouted loudly: "Prepare to throw grenades three times in a row, the first batch, ten meters above the lake in front of you, throw!" β
When Shi Shaoying gave the order, in addition to Avi, who was holding an automatic grenade launcher and fighting against the ant colony behind him, and Squint Eye, who was injured in his foot, the whole team of nine people threw the grenade with the safety open into the lake ten meters away. Nine grenades fell into the lake with graceful arcs, splashing nine small waves that were almost drawn in a straight line.
Followed by...... Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Nine dull explosions rose from the bottom of the lake, and just now they were still showing off their might in the lake, thinking that in this lake, they were the heavens and the earth, and God was the master, and those piranhas, in the face of grenades, the purest weapons of war made by humans, the terrible shock wave formed by the explosion in the lake water, there was no room for resistance, they were shocked to death, and their bellies floated to the surface.
At this time, Shi Shaoying's face was as gloomy as water, and he shouted loudly: "The second wave, twenty meters from the lake in front of you, throw!" β
Nine more grenades fell into the lake together.
"The third wave, thirty meters from the lake in front of you, throw!"
Following Shi Shaoying's order, 27 high-explosive grenades gradually extended to the interior of the lake in a three-wave attitude, and the smoke of gunpowder on the lake was still rolling, and within the sight of the sight, hundreds of piranhas floated upside down and floated to the surface of the water with white bellies.
At this time, Avi had already emptied two drums, and saw that the army of man-eating ants was about to outflank him with grenade bombardment.
Shi Shaoying didn't hesitate any longer, waved his hand vigorously and shouted: "Enter the lake!" β
The squint immediately reminded: "Be careful, the vitality of piranhas is particularly tough, someone once did an experiment, put a piranha in the refrigerator and freeze it for twenty minutes, and put it in a place without water for an hour, and the piranha is still alive and ......"
Before the words of warning were finished, the squint suddenly felt a tightness in his back, followed by a familiar whirlwind, and when he finally reacted, Shi Shaoying had already carried him into the smoke-filled lake, where piranha corpses were turned everywhere.
Although it was very inhumane to say this, while touching the lake, Shi Shaoying thanked the poor insects who walked into the lake before them and were attacked by a school of piranhas. They used their bodies as bait to gather all the piranhas on the shore, so that Shi Shaoying had the opportunity to wipe them out with grenades. (To be continued)
