Chapter 290: The Power of the Parasite
"Phew!"
A 7.62 mm bullet flew out of the muzzle of Qi Lin's hand, spun and drilled into the parasite's eye socket, and then accurately hit the parasitic worm hiding beneath the parasite's shrunken brain stem!
The parasite's body froze in place, and the next second it was knocked to the ground by the other parasites rushing behind him.
After discovering this method, Qi Lin immediately concocted the same method, and after the remaining twenty-nine bullets in the magazine were emptied, there were twenty-eight more parasitic corpses on the ground.
The only shot that missed the parasite was hit in the chest by a one-headed bullet that happened to be fired by the mutant, and his body fell back a few centimeters, and the bullet grazed the parasite's skull and flew out.
Qi Lin's magazine was empty, and the parasites finally moved in front of the mutant defense front, and those mutants with melee weapons rushed forward with a roar, Ivan took the lead with a fire axe, and instantly split the head of a parasite, smashing it into a paste along with the parasitic worms inside.
The battles of the other mutants were not as smooth as Ivan's. Due to the limitations of their weapons and strength attributes, it is difficult for them to decapitate a Parasite with a single sword, while the Parasites can severely injure a weaker mutant with a single punch or kick.
What's more, he directly clamped the shoulders of a mutant and tore off the two arms of that mutant violently!
If judged by the average strength level of the players, Qi Lin estimated that the strength of these parasites was at least 40 points or more, and the strength of their bodies was about the same as that of third-level evolutionaries who focused on strengthening their bodies.
The parasite's only weaknesses are agility and intelligence, but in the narrow tunnels and hard-fought battles, these two flaws are not so important.
At the first moment of collision between the parasite and the mutant, the mutant paid a terrible price, three mutants were killed on the spot, five were seriously injured, and were carried back to the back of the bunker by others, and the rest were all injured.
As for the parasites, they were killed by Qi Lin forty before rushing to the defensive line, and about ten by the mutants, but after the two sides fought in close quarters, only three fell.
"Damn! Back off! Everyone back off! Ivan roared as he brandished the fire axe to block the parasite's attack, and after entering the melee combat, these mutants were surprised to find that the parasite's strength and defense were far higher than they had imagined.
The first line of defense was quickly abandoned, and under the cover of Qi Lin and Ivan, the mutants quickly retreated to the fork in the road, but at this time, there was also a faint dense sound of gunfire at another fork in the road.
This really confirms an old saying in Huaxia - Fortune and Misfortune do not go alone, because of the battle between mutants and parasites, other mutant creatures living in the depths of the tunnel were alarmed, and at this moment, the other mutants were also caught in a bitter battle.
"Ivan! That doesn't work, we have to get out of the tunnel and find a way to deal with them outside! Qi Lin said to Ivan.
Among the mutants' weapons, the only weapons that can effectively kill and injure parasites are large-caliber single-headed bullets, but since they didn't know that they needed to face enemies like parasites, the number of single-headed bullets brought with them was not large, and they had already been used up in the first few waves of shooting.
The shotgun is also less effective at close range, and the ball shot from the front cannot reach the depth where the parasite worm is, and the only way to kill the worm in the skull is to put the muzzle of the gun under the back of the parasite's head, so that the ball can be shot through a place where there is no skull protection.
If you continue to fight the parasites in the tunnels, it is not a matter of whether you can win or not, and the mutant creatures that are alarmed alone will put the mutants in a situation where they will be attacked on their backs.
"No...... You can go out first, but we can't...... I won't have your help then...... At that time, the battle will be even harder......" Ivan said with a wry smile.
Only then did Qi Lin remember that the other party's purpose was to obtain the things in the ninth warehouse in the real world, and since there would be parasites in the game world, it was likely that there would be such a group of monsters in the ninth warehouse in the real world, but at that time, they could only rely on the mutants to solve it themselves.
Without Qi Lin's accurate shooting, the mutants would have to face more parasites, and at that time, they would have no chance of resurrection.
It's a chance for mutants to try and exercise, at least in the game world, where death is just an hour of waiting in the dark.
"However, I would suggest getting out of the way a little longer, there are three forks in the road, which means that we will be attacked from four directions at the same time, so it is better to call back those who are blocking the mutant creatures, and then let the mutant creatures and parasites merge - maybe the mutants and parasites will fight each other as well."
Listening to Qi Lin's words, Ivan's eyes lit up: "You have a point, I was so anxious that I forgot about this!" ”
Ivan immediately put two fingers in his mouth and whistled extremely loudly, and not long after blowing, the teams of mutants responsible for blocking the mutated creatures ran out of the fork in the road.
"Three of our men died, and two others were left to drag the brutes." The mutant named Victor was covered in blood and one of his arms was missing, but he reported to Ivan like no one.
"Very well, let's go back another five hundred meters now, and let those brutes deal with these difficult monsters." Ivan said, leading everyone back quickly.
Slow-moving parasites quickly took over the fork in the road, and the roars and roars of mutant creatures soon rang out from the other two forks.
"Those brutes will soon rush out—" Ivan said in a low voice, holding a flashlight in one hand, with a hint of nervousness in his tone.
As he said, under the leadership of a wolf-like mutant creature, dozens of mutated creatures poured out of the fork in the road, but as soon as they saw this group of parasites, they stopped, and even the fierce mutant wolf in the lead clamped its tail, lowered its head, and let out a low "woo" sound.
"Damn it, these brutes! They're scared! Ivan angrily slammed his fist into the wall of the tunnel.
However, Qi Lin was not surprised, this was originally just an attempt, and judging from the fact that there were no traces of mutant creatures near the ninth warehouse, the mutant creatures should be very afraid of these parasites, so Qi Lin actually didn't expect the mutated creatures to be their help.
It's just that there are still advantages to this, at least they don't have to worry about being hit by both sides, they just need to concentrate on dealing with these parasites.
