Chapter 211: Trapped
The first to step forward was a large man with a height of two and a half meters, all his muscles were restrained in a black tight-fitting combat suit, and on either side of his thighs was a scorpion submachine gun with a long magazine of thirty rounds.
The whole body of the knife is made of tungsten steel alloy, and the blade is also made of a special matte treatment, which will not emit any reflection at night.
"Young master, I'll go first." The big man said in a loud voice.
Cheng Shao nodded, and then, the big man buckled a metal ring around his waist to the nail cord, took a deep breath, and jumped down.
With a whoosh, under the effect of the tilt angle, the big man quickly slipped to the opposite side of the abyssal rift, reached out and pressed on one of the mechanisms on the clasp, and with a "click", the clasp was locked on the nail cord.
After stabilizing his body, the big man put his feet on the rock wall and pulled out a few knick-knacks made of metal from his tactical satchel on his waist.
The knick-knacks, also painted in a matte black finish, have an oval metal ring on one end that is just right for one hand to grasp, and a thick-walled cylinder with a hole in the middle on the other.
The big man put the end of the cylinder against the rock wall, slapped it hard, and under the action of high-pressure gas, two long steel nails in the middle of the cylinder flew out and pierced into the rock wall.
By nailing all eight of these devices to the rock wall, a small ladder was erected for people to crawl on.
Following the ladder, the big man climbed up cautiously, and then lay on the ground, not daring to move.
Cheng Shao's location was under a huge crater, half of the crater had sunk into the abyssal rift, and the remaining half of the crater was just on the edge of the rift, and it was this special terrain that gave this team of players a place to hide, so that they would not be exposed to the empty flat ground as soon as they crossed the abyssal rift.
It took about five minutes for the big man to crawl to the edge of the crater and poke out half of his head to look around.
Luckily, there are no mutated creatures around the crater, and the closest thing to here is a few steel-maned boars resting on the ground, although the steel-maned boars have a keen sense of smell, but this team of players are smeared with drugs that suppress the smell, and they are basically not smelled by these guys.
"Safety."
The big guy quickly typed these two words on the brain and sent them to Cheng Shao through a short communication.
"Let's go!"
Cheng Shao let out a low shout, and everyone in the team pulled out the metal buckles around their waists one after another, and slid to the opposite side of the abyss rift one by one.
Although the crater is not small, it is still a little crowded with more than 20 people at once.
Moreover, if the King Blood Dragon Lizard happened to fly overhead at this time, it would really be served in a pot.
Now that they are on the territory of mutant creatures, the team no longer communicates with each other, Cheng Xiao gestured, and more than 20 players divided into two teams according to the previous plan, and quietly touched out from both sides of the crater.
The big guy personally led a team with more people and ran out from the right side of the crater, while Cheng Shao personally took six players and chose the path on the left.
Although Cheng Shao brought relatively few people, these six people are all officer-level masters in the program consortium, basically veterans who have retired from the special forces, and have many actual combat experiences, and under the financial resources of the program consortium, each of them has reached the level of a first-level evolutionary.
The plan of the squad is very clear, divide into two teams, break through from two directions, and in the event of an accident, the team with the big guy will take the initiative to appear to attract the attention of the mutated creatures and cover them.
Hunched over, Cheng Shao held the F2000 assault rifle in one hand and a sharp three-edged military thorn in the other, and quickly walked close to the ground, and behind him, the six players were also in the same posture, moving quickly and wordlessly.
The next hiding point was the ruins of a house less than half a meter high, but between the ruins and the crater, there was not much shelter about 30 meters.
Under the power of this weapon, this blank area is full of ravines and shallow karst caves of different depths, and in a few places, there are even some cases where the ground is vitrified by high temperatures.
Under the cover of darkness, the team members quickly approached the ruins, but when Cheng Shao was the first to step into the ruins, he found that there was a resting thorny wolf lying in the ruins!
As soon as the thorny wolf heard the movement, he immediately stood up from the ground, and was about to make a whistling sound, but Cheng Shao, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly put aside the F2000 in his hand, pounced deeply, hugged the thorny wolf, strangled the neck of the thorny wolf with his arm, pinched the wolf's mouth with one hand, and the military thorn in the other hand pierced into the jaw of the thorny wolf.
The warm blood spurted out in an instant along the blood trough on the military thorn, and the thorny wolf also struggled violently, and the long hair that was as hard as a needle suddenly stretched out, and the roots stood upside down, cutting through the skull mask on Cheng Shao's face at once, and scratching a few blood marks on his handsome cheeks.
But no matter how the thorny wolf struggled, Cheng Shao was like a statue, pressing it to the death, not moving at all, until the thorny wolf's struggle became weaker and weaker, and the blood spurting from the wound gradually stopped, and in the end, it finally turned into a corpse, and Cheng Shao let go of his hand.
Pushing the still warm wolf corpse aside, Cheng Shao leaned his back against the ruins and looked at the position of his chest and abdomen, those steel needle-like thorny hairs had pierced the tactical vest, but fortunately, the armor worn inside blocked them.
"Young Master, you're injured."
A member of the team who followed immediately stepped forward and took out a first-aid kit from his waist to bandage Cheng Shao, but Cheng Shao just waved his hand to stop his movements, and then wiped it casually to wipe off the blood stains on his face.
Inside the blood stains was blood from the wound on his face, but more, but wolf blood that had been splattered.
"No, don't waste time, the smell of blood here is too strong, the scavengers will come over soon, give me ten seconds to rest, and then we move on." Cheng Shao said in a low voice.
Scavengers are the cleaners of the army of mutants, and when the mutants have eaten their prey, the scraps of meat, organ fragments, and blood stains are cleaned up by these fist-sized brown beetles - of course, in some cases, the scavengers themselves, which reproduce at an incredible rate, are also used as a source of food by the hordes of mutants.
