Chapter 67: The trouble that can't be shaken off
I believe everyone has the experience of injection, the thin needle tube pierced into the flesh, it hurts for a while, and it will be fine in the past, the huge sandworm in front of Zhao Qiang's eyes, the 12.7 mm caliber bullet is about the same size as an ordinary needle in the eyes of our human beings, it hurts to pierce it, but it will not be fatal no matter how much it is pierced.
This sandworm was originally mutated from an ordinary earthworm, an earthworm that lives in the soil, lies day and night, feeds on livestock and poultry manure and organic waste, swallows it together with the soil, is composed of more than 100 body segments, moves forward through muscle contraction, and the muscles on the body account for about 40% of the body volume, and the mouth can be turned out of the mouth to ingest food. The pharynx is muscular, the muscles are contracted, and the pharyngeal cavity is enlarged to aid feeding. There are single-celled pharyngeal glands outside the pharynx, which secrete mucus and proteases, and have the role of moistening food and preliminary digestion. The postpharyngeal is connected to the short and thin esophagus, and its wall has esophageal glands that secrete calcium and neutralize acidic substances.
After the mutation, the volume of this earthworm has increased by hundreds of millions of times, and various functions have been greatly enhanced, even the mouth has grown a circle of sharp teeth, in the process of traveling, in addition to the zombies that were hit by its strong body, those unlucky zombies were directly devoured by the mouthparts of the sandworm in an instant, and disappeared in that terrifying mouthparts in an instant.
Ordinary bullets couldn't help the sandworm at all, but instead angered this simple-minded alien creature, and the sandworm's huge mouthparts erupted into a frantic roar, and the wind swept up a large number of stumps, broken arms, and sand and stones, hitting Zhao Qiang's face with pain.
"It fucking stinks!" Zhao Qiang complained, and the gun in his hand did not stop because of this.
"Change the incendiary bomb!" Zhao Qiang saw that ordinary bullets couldn't help this terrifying sandworm at all, so he had to shout at Zou Lin, Zou Lin, who was in a hurry, couldn't tell what was an ordinary bullet and what was an armor-piercing incendiary bomb, so he only knew that it was a bullet and sent it to it, and Zhao Qiang, who was in a hurry, jumped to his feet.
Meng Longwei pulled the helpless Zou Lin away, rolled up his sleeves and went into battle in person, and the rows of armor-piercing incendiary bombs were finally handed over, although the caliber of the bullets had not changed, but the effectiveness was very different. The Type 89 Armor-Piercing Incendiary Tracer Bullet and the Type 89 Armor-Piercing Explosive Incendiary Bomb are all high-efficiency weapons of mass destruction, not only relying on the kinetic energy of the bullet to kill the enemy, but also causing great damage to the sandworm in both explosion and combustion.
Perhaps unable to withstand the scorching flames, the sandworm roared again, turned its head, and drilled directly into the outer wall of the tunnel, the reinforced concrete and thick rock layer seemed to be tofu, and the sandworm did not stop at all to get in, and it took a long time for the huge body to completely disappear at the end of the tunnel.
Zhao Qiang didn't let go of this time, the bullets poured out like no money, and the explosion and burning made the sandworm tremble, but it still couldn't stop the sandworm's action. As a low-level annelid, earthworms have an almost magical regeneration ability, and it is rumored that even if an earthworm is cut into two ends, it will not take long to grow into two complete earthworms, let alone just a few bites from that small bullet.
Seeing that the sandworm disappeared, Zhao Qiang sat back on his seat, in just a few minutes, Zhao Qiang felt that it was longer than a few years, under the perverted pressure of the sandworm, Zhao Qiang's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and even his back was wet.
"Did it run?" Meng Longwei was still holding the bullet tightly in his hand, as if the battle was still not over.
Zhao Qiang shook his head, sat on the seat weakly, the monster in front of him was far beyond his imagination, huge body, terrifying mouthparts, no more powerful weapons, weak humans were not enough to see in front of the sandworm, Zhao Qiang originally thought that the evolution of zombies to the level of smashers and wise men had come to an end, and other creatures becoming zombies were limited to high-level creatures, but the appearance of sandworms completely subverted all Zhao Qiang's understanding. Although the bullets have caused some damage to the sandworms, Zhao Qiang knows very well that there is no way to completely eliminate the sandworms with this level of blow, if only there were a few RPGs, Zhao Qiang misses the previous games and movies, Iraqi militia and Afghan armed personnel, don't want to launch RPGs indiscriminately like money, if there is this thing, maybe the sandworms can't jump twice.
The vibration on the ground became more and more obvious, although the armored train reversed with all its might, but the speed was still not fast, it felt that the huge roar sounded in the ears, the cement and soil clods at the top of the tunnel fell one after another, smashing on the top of the armored train, the invisible enemy is the most terrifying, now I know how terrifying the enemy is, but I don't know where the enemy will appear from.
"Sit tight!" As soon as Zhao Qiang came and reminded him, the huge figure of the sandworm came out from the left side of the carriage, and the strong inertia made the sandworm almost soar into the sky, and the huge body jumped from the top after scraping on the armored train, and drilled a huge hole directly from the opposite tunnel wall and drilled into it.
The splinters brought by the sandworms smashed on the steel plate on the side of the armored train, making a loud noise, and the survivors in the carriage had already learned through the in-car broadcast system that they had encountered a powerful enemy, but they had no idea what the enemy looked like, and the huge vibration and sound suddenly stirred the screams in the carriage.
"Everybody's on the left side of the car, everybody's on the left!" Meng Longwei grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted desperately at the throat, the armored train has a faint tendency to roll over under the impact of sandworms, and if no measures are taken, once the train rolls over, the people in the whole car can only be killed.
There are 4 or 5 fighters in each carriage, responsible for protecting the safety of the survivors, as soldiers, they are more calm than ordinary people, so when everyone is in a mess, the soldiers obey the orders from Meng Longwei very well, and the panicked survivors also understand that if the car overturns, no one can live, after the initial panic, finally under the command of the soldiers, gathered on the left side of the train, which stabilized the trend of rollover.
After several sudden attacks by sandworms, the armored train drove out from the nearest exit without danger, and it was too dangerous under the ground, no one knew when the sandworms would rush out again, let alone whether everyone had such good luck in the face of the next attack.
As soon as the armored train exited the subway entrance, it crashed through the fence around it, and at this time, who said anything about caring for public property, anything that stood in the way of escape was knocked away.
"How's it going, everyone's okay? Each carriage reports on the situation. Finally leaving the dangerous subway entrance, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, escaped from the sandworm's mouth, more by luck, ran for a while, felt that they had left the danger zone, Meng Longwei hurriedly asked the situation of the back carriage through the intercom system.
"Car 2 reports, everything is normal, all personnel are safe."
"Car 3 reported that one passenger was slightly injured and has been properly treated, and everything else is normal."
"Car No. 4 reported that the roof of the car was lifted by an unknown object, several passengers were slightly injured, and they have been properly treated, and everything else is normal."
……
Carriage by carriage report down,
"Car No. 10 Report ......" Car No. 10 said that it was a car, but it was actually the last locomotive, and there were only 3 fighters in the cab, one was the driver, and the other two were machine gunners and deputies, and the No. 10 car was halfway through the report, and the driver who reported the situation suddenly stopped talking.
"Car Ten, what's going on? Car No. 10, what's going on" Meng Longwei anxiously grabbed the walkie-talkie, yelling desperately, Zhao Qiang found that something was wrong, and immediately leaned out of the window on the roof of the car, and just halfway through his body, he heard a heart-rending cry from the walkie-talkie: "Hurry up, hurry!" ”
Zhao Qiang looked back, and the sandworm actually appeared less than 100 meters away from the back of the car, and rushed over.
