Chapter 289: Mutants vs. Parasites
"Holy!"
Dozens of corpses parasitized by worms were staggering towards Qi Lin, and Qi Lin immediately didn't think much about it, and ran wildly over the entrance of the warehouse.
This kind of monster is easy to solve one-on-one, but it also takes a lot of Qi Lin's time and effort, but if it is on a scale, it is simply a nightmare for any player.
Taking advantage of the fact that the parasitic corpse had not yet formed a complete encirclement, Qi Lin rushed out of the gap quickly, and then ran out at full speed along the fortification tunnel.
After turning a few corners, Qi Lin ran to the fork in the road where he had agreed with Ivan before, Qi Lin looked at it and saw dozens of mutants, including Ivan, sitting on the ground resting, and when they saw Qi Lin running over, they all stood up one after another.
Fortunately, this group of mutants is still trustworthy - however, if Qi Lin finds out that Ivan and they are gone, he will directly lure this group of "parasites" out, and then pat their butts and leave, as for the follow-up problems, it will be enough for this group of mutants to have a headache.
"What's going on? What did you encounter? We heard gunshots! As soon as Qi Lin ran in front of the mutants, Ivan said hurriedly.
"A group of walking corpses have been brought out, with iron heads, hard skin, and thick blood, which are difficult to kill, and they will be here in about ten minutes, so be ready for a hard fight." Qi Lin replied quickly.
"Walking corpses? Zombies? Ivan was stunned, "But we have explored this fortification several times, and we have never seen zombies at all, and besides, even zombies may not be able to withstand such a high radiation dose inside." ”
"No, it's not a zombie, it's a corpse!"
"What do you mean?"
"I used to be a leftover worker in this fortification, I don't know why I was parasitized by a mutant worm, I named them 'Parasite', it is difficult for a bullet to kill them completely, the best way is to decapitate."
Under Ivan's orders, dozens of mutants quickly formed an improvised line of defense with sandbags and metal pipes brought in, and then a dozen guns were erected, while some mutants with melee weapons were hunched behind the sandbags, ready to charge.
At this time, the defect of the mutant's lack of heavy firepower is revealed, otherwise, although the artillery cannot be used in the tunnel, as long as there is a large-caliber heavy machine gun, a shuttle can directly sweep these parasites into pieces, and there is no need to go up to fight bayonets.
The AK has enough penetrating power, but it does not necessarily hit the parasitic worm hidden in the parasite's brain, and the shotgun, although it hits widely, does not necessarily penetrate the parasite's extremely hard skull.
According to Qi Lin's arrangement, all the single-headed bullets were distributed - only the powerful one-headed bullets could knock the parasite's heads to pieces with a single shot at a long distance, as for the deer bullets, they had to be within five meters to blast their heads open, and as for the AK, they could only be used as a containment - perhaps, even the effect of containment was very limited.
The parasite didn't let Qi Lin and them wait too long, and the first lame parasite appeared in Qi Lin's field of vision.
The parasite was still about two hundred meters away from the defensive line constructed by the mutants, and Qi Lin picked up a KS-23 shotgun from the side and filled the chamber with a single bullet.
Generally, even if a shotgun uses a single-headed bullet, it may not be able to kill the target at a distance of 200 meters, but the KS-23 is different - to be precise, the KS-23 should belong to the rifle, which is the transliteration of the English rifle, which originally meant to refer to the rifling in the barrel of the rifle, and later with the discovery of the rifled gun, it gradually became a noun used to refer to the rifle.
Unlike other shotguns constructed with smoothbore guns, the rifling in the barrel of the KS-23 gives the warhead the ability to rotate, so the single-headed bullet fired with the KS-23 has a more stable trajectory, a longer range, and greater lethality and penetration.
"Phew!"
Qi Lin picked up the gun, took a slight aim, and then directly pulled the trigger, and with a loud bang, the parasite's head in the distance exploded directly like a rotten watermelon, and the body of the lost head immediately fell to the ground with a pop.
"Victor, you take half of your men to guard the other forks in the road to prevent the mutated creatures attracted by the gunshots, and the rest of the brothers, get ready!" Ivan shouted a command, and a tall, thin mutant with a motorcycle helmet immediately stood up, ordered a few mutants with AKs, and turned around and ran towards the other forks in the road.
As for the rest, they all took a few deep breaths - although Qi Lin killed a parasite with a single shot, as local natives, these mutants clearly understood how powerful a monster that could live in that kind of place could be.
There were far more parasites gushing out of the depths of the tunnel than Qi Lin had imagined, and at a cursory glance, there were more than a hundred, and I didn't know where so many parasites came from.
Seeing the number of enemies in large numbers, Ivan's breathing couldn't help but become a little heavy, his face under the bandage was also tense, and his hands kept loosening a long-handled fire axe in his hand.
The parasites moved slowly, and everyone waited for a short time before the large group of parasites came within fifty meters of the attack range.
"Attack!"
Ivan shouted loudly, and more than a dozen shotguns loaded with one-headed bullets fired at the same time in an instant—but compared to Qi Lin, these mutants' marksmanship was obviously not a little worse, only one single-headed bullet successfully exploded the head of a parasite, and the best result of the remaining dozen rounds was only to break a parasite's calf.
Faced with such an embarrassing hit rate, Ivan had to shout again: "Get closer, shoot at the head again!" ”
At the same time, the 12 single-headed bullets in Qi Lin's hand had all been exhausted, and the 12 bullets killed the twelve parasites without missing a shot, and at this moment, a whimsical idea suddenly popped up in Qi Lin's mind-
Although the worm is an ectothermic animal, the color temperature on its body when it is in an active state is definitely different from that of a cold parasitic corpse, thinking of this, Qi Lin took off the AKM behind him again, and at the same time turned on the "thermal vision" skill on his eyes.
Sure enough, most of the color temperature of the parasitic corpse was close to the environment, but it was brighter in several trunk nerves, joints, and places where blood vessels were dense, and near the brain stem, there was a worm-shaped hot color patch curled up in it, slowly wriggling.
"Found it!"
