Chapter 282: Temporary Stronghold
"Hey! What about you? Feeling a little uncomfortable, Karel pulled out his weapon and shouted quietly as he stared at the guard, while carefully observing his surroundings. Fu Hongxue! Jay! Are you here? ”
After searching for a while, Karel really found something strange, standing at the entrance of the cave and looking to the right, he will see a very obvious shooting trail straight into the forest, this bullet mark pierced through a dozen decaying trees, and has been submerged into the depths of the forest, and the circle around the bullet mark has been charred and carbonized, and there is still a trace of spark.
Obviously, this is Fu Hongxue's electromagnetic gun.
Karel stared at the ground again and found a drop of blood on a small blue-gray stone, the edges of which had not yet coagulated, and it seemed to be quite fresh.
Karel crouched down and dipped his finger in the blood on the stone, wanting to examine it carefully, when a sudden change occurred!
The movement of dipping his fingers in the blood brought Karel out of his stealth state, when a basilisk leaped up from the dirt next to him, holding two large pincers high and slashing at Karel.
Syllable! Karel dodged in time, and the basilisk fell heavily on the mud, and the basilisk twisted on the mud, trying to struggle, but was hit on the head by Minigon hard.
The 7.62mm bullets were useless against the basilisk, so Carel simply used Minigang as a hammer.
In one stroke, two times, Karel couldn't stand up with the basilisk that he was beating like a piledriver, but the multi-barreled machine gun also bent the barrel and flew parts in all directions, obviously unusable.
Karel threw away the scrapped machine gun in his hand. Then he stepped on the back of the basilisk, slammed it to the ground, and then took out a hand cannon and shot it at the head of the basilisk!
Rumble!
The whole basilisk jerked, and then continued to struggle, and Karel almost couldn't hold it down, and immediately pulled the trigger and shot at the basilisk head in quick succession.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Empty all the remaining 4 bullets in one go, and then the basilisk stopped struggling, the power of the M500 is quite huge, and the 5 bullets directly blew off the basilisk's head, just when Karel let go of the basilisk's corpse. When you stand up. The tip of the basilisk's tail was pointed at him.
I've been expecting this trick from you.
Karel let out a disdainful sneer and kicked lightly at the tip of his tail.
Shout! With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, the spikes hidden in the tail shot into the sky.
Now the basilisk is completely dead.
The cartridge case was quickly withdrawn, and Karel pushed a new bullet. Then I started searching left and right.
"Fu Hongxue! Jay! Where did you go on a dog day? Karel didn't care if it would attract anything weird. Directly ripped open his throat and shouted.
Woohoo! Right now. There was a burst of gunfire in the distance, the gunfire was rapid and dull, it was the punisher of 12.7 caliber!
Karel immediately ran towards the place where the gunshots were heard.
"Everybody in a circle. Don't be afraid, which one will hit which, if there are rockets, use rockets. Fu Hongxue said as she aimed the electromagnetic gun in her hand at the basilisk scurrying around in the forest.
After using special armor-piercing bullets, the weapons in the hands of the mercenaries are enough to penetrate the scale armor of the basilisk, so as to kill them, and the electromagnetic gun in Fu Hongxue's hand can even penetrate one or two trees to break the basilisk in two, but these basilisks are obviously very smart, these slippery guys wander in the forest, picking the gap of 5 people to defend and sneak up and sneak back into the forest, although this tactic is scoundrel, but it is undoubtedly very effective, a thief has been hit hard by the sneak attack.
Shout! A burst of blue light shot out, piercing a rotting tree and shattering the tail of a basilisk to pieces, and the basilisk struggled twice before lying on the ground.
Successfully killed one, Fu Hongxue changed the magazine very calmly, at this moment, a basilisk opened its claws wide and pounced towards Fu Hongxue, Fu Hongxue did not panic at all, very calmly put on the magazine, pulled the bolt, and then raised the muzzle, the muzzle of the gun was facing the chest of the basilisk that pounced on him.
Syllable! Just like fireworks, the entire upper body of the basilisk exploded, bursting into a rain of blood, Fu Hongxue stepped on the basilisk's tail at the same time, and the stinging needle pierced into the ground.
"Ahh Help me! At this moment, Fu Hongxue heard the mercenaries behind him crying for help, Fu Hongxue turned his head to see that a basilisk had pounced in the middle of the 4 mercenary teams, and threw a mercenary to the ground, the mercenary was holding the basilisk with a gun in both hands, but for the huge strength of the basilisk, this mercenary couldn't hold on for a few seconds, and the gun in his hand was about to be broken by the basilisk.
Damn it! Fu Hongxue cursed in her heart, and just as she was about to turn around to rescue, a basilisk came out from behind her and rushed down Fu Hongxue with a roar.
Saving people or protecting oneself, this is a question, just when Fu Hongxue was struggling with this question at this moment, a petite figure instantly appeared next to the mercenary who was pounced on the ground by the basilisk, and the sharp blade in his hand stabbed into the gap in the basilisk's scale armor without hindrance, and then pulled the basilisk up from the mercenary's body, and then fell to the ground hard.
Fu Hongxue, on the other hand, turned on the deterrent, parried the attack of the basilisk, and then turned around and smashed the basilisk to the ground with the butt of a gun, and then fired a shot at the head and tail of the basilisk, and the extremely high speed of the bullet pierced the ground, releasing its incomparably powerful kinetic energy underground, causing two minor earthquakes.
On the other hand, Karel also dismembered the basilisk with a dagger, and the weak point of this basilisk is at the tip of the tail, which is wrapped in a sharp and hard chitinous spike, and when the nerve at the base of the spike is severed, the basilisk will be killed instantly. This spike is also a desperate kill of the basilisk, and if you shoot it, you won't be able to survive yourself, just like a bee.
With Karel joining, the entire team suddenly increased their firepower, and after more than ten minutes of fierce fighting between the two sides, the basilisk left behind more than a dozen corpses, and the rest of the living basilisk fled in a hurry and disappeared into the rotten forest in an instant.
"Whew, it was so dangerous just now!" Fu Hongxue wiped the sweat on her face and threw a bottle of antidote to Karel.
"Why are you here?" Feed the badly wounded thief and drink the antidote. Karel asked Fu Hongxue.
"After I came up from the cave, I saw a basilisk grabbing him and running into the woods, and I didn't worry about the other three people staying at the entrance of the cave, and then chased after them together, fortunately you came quickly, otherwise it would be dangerous." Fu Hongxue buttoned the cover on the side of the butt, took out the electrochemical aether inside, and stuffed a new one in, "Let's go, he needs treatment." Potions alone can't cure him. Look at the thief's pale face. Fu Hongxue said.
……
"This is a good place," Lulene said to Karell, standing at the mouth of the strange cave.
"Of course it's a good place, at least it's much cleaner than the surrounding areas." Looking at the mercenaries around him who were laying barbed wire, Karel put his arm around Lulin and said.
Of course. You don't know what's buried beneath the rubble in a cave. Karel didn't dare say it.
After having a settled stronghold in the forest. The next step is to think about where to go. This rotten forest is not a place to stay for long, and if he could, Karel would rather leave this forest tomorrow.
A group of people studied the map for half a day. It was found that this is a very narrow forest, the distance from north to south is more than 200 kilometers, but the east-west direction is only 40 kilometers, and the whole forest is in the middle of the Sorrow Continent, that is to say, to pass through the forest, you only need to walk 40 kilometers at most to get out, but in this forest, it is quite difficult to walk 40 kilometers.
Or rather a pretty deadly job.
"How are we going to get out?" Looking at the map on the improvised table, Karel scratched his hair in embarrassment, fortunately there were only more than 200 people, and if there were more than 20,000 people, it would be a disaster.
"Why don't you release the tank now?" Goode walked aside.
"Not here, the soil here is rotten and soft, and it is very corrosive, and the tanks are forced out of here to be used again." Karel said, holding his chin and biting his pen.
"What about transporting people out with flying machines?" Edward's mind was open.
"The undead bone eagle is still wandering around, now with the flying machine, then we will be blocked by the undead empire, and we will simply commit suicide en masse." Karel went on to veto.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Yolanda stood to the side and spoke, the mighty Guardian of Fury standing behind Yolanda like an iron tower.
"There's really no good way, but there's a stupid way." Karel smiled wryly, "We're going to go out in a group, I'm sorry I can only think of this method." ”
Huddle up and kill out......
Hearing Karel's words, everyone else fell into deep thought, it was clear that this was a very stupid method, but at this time, here, there seemed to be no way to compare with this.
So be it.
So all the mercenaries were given a notice that all but a few of them were to rest well, prepare all the dry rations, and march in a hurry tomorrow.
Hurry up, and in this disgusting forest, this kind of order makes the mercenaries wail, but it is even more uncomfortable to stay in this hellish place.
After a night of trouble, basilisks, xenomorph spiders, rotting rats, and all kinds of strange creatures have not stopped attacking this small stronghold, and Karel doesn't even know how long he has been asleep, whether it is 1 hour or 10 minutes, but in order not to let those mercenaries rest enough, the commander can only go into battle himself.
"Ah~" Looking at the slowly lit sky in the east, Karel stood on the stone and stretched out widely, his whole body twisted into an S shape, and stunned the few early mercenaries around him.
The sky of the Sorrowful Continent is always shrouded in heavy dark clouds, and it is always gloomy, and the sun, moon and stars can never be seen, which is really uncomfortable.
Greeting the mercenaries, Karel jumped off the rocks and ran towards Lulin's tent, which was still a while away from departure, enough to make a ...... No, it's catching up on sleep.
"Everyone, it's very dangerous here, so everyone must be in groups of 20 people, each group must not be more than 100 meters away from each other, and they are not allowed to act alone, even if they go to the toilet, all of them are suffocated! Get out of this damn forest and solve private problems! Standing on the stone, Goode shouted to the mercenaries, "Each group must include a defensive profession, a damage output profession and a healing profession, and the whole vigilance must not be relaxed, just these 40 kilometers, after we get out, we don't have to run on two legs, do you understand?!" ”
"Understood!" The mercenaries shouted in unison, and the loud sound resonated with some of the creatures in the forest, causing them to let out some short roars.
"Alright, this forest is welcoming you, let's go!" Goode pointed to the forest with his staff, then jumped off the cliff and led the way towards the forest.
As for Karel and Fu Hongxue, they are still on the task of reconnaissance, these two are responsible for finding the way in front, and then leaving markers to guide the direction of the team, and at the same time luring away those monsters that are too dangerous, or solving those ruthless characters who will cause great damage to the entire team in advance.
And this kind of ruthless character is almost everywhere here, so the pressure on the two is very great. (To be continued......)
