Text Chapter 2, Battle Sand Sea
The sand poured into the shoes, grinding the feet painfully. Ding Xiu grinned, not bothering to pour out the sand.
The mutant creatures that suddenly appeared on the way home trapped him in the dunes, the car overturned, and it was impossible to return to camp before dark on his feet.
A few years ago, there was a saying in the camp that you should not stay outside after dark, but some people didn't believe it, and then they didn't even have a chance to regret it.
Most of the wasteland has been desertified, and in this environment, it is not the temperature difference between day and night that is terrifying, but the mutated creatures here.
The monster that Ding Xiu encountered was very dangerous, this was the message that his intuition told him.
The monster hides under the gravel and doesn't easily appear, but when it strikes, it can easily create a huge bunker that overturns the car and buries it deep in.
"Damn it." Ding Xiu cursed in frustration, and he noticed that the mutant creature seemed to be playing a game of cat and mouse with him.
Signs of loosening began to appear in the surrounding sand, but the mutant creature just didn't show up, it just used Ding Xiu's fear of himself to force him to run away, and then burrow out to eat the food when he was exhausted.
"Damn, running is death, not running is death, it's better to give a hand before you die." Ding Xiu sensed its intentions from the mutated creature's actions, and he stopped and turned his heart sideways.
"Brute, come out if you have a seed." Ding Xiu held the nuclear rifle in his hand tightly, and there was still half of the energy in the energy slot inside, and these energies were ammunition.
The sound of "Si Xi Suo" came from the sand, like the whisper of insects, and like the sand moving with the wind. The temperature seemed to be gradually dropping, and Ding Xiu was already feeling a little chill.
He stood motionless, his eyes fixed in a certain direction, where the sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" had just disappeared.
Suddenly, a handful of sand grains rose on the ground and slammed into Ding Xiu's face.
Ding Xiugang blocked his eyes with his arm, trying to prevent the sand and dust from entering his eyes. Suddenly he felt a pain in his ankle, and he knew that he had been hit by a plan.
The mutant creature sprayed sand in his face as a feint, and it was the right move to clamp his legs with the big claws in front of him. Of course, if the sand is blinded, your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
This monster seems to have the wisdom of a human being, from setting up an ambush to forcing the prey into its intended battlefield, and through the oppression of fear to achieve the purpose of consuming the power of the prey, every step is interlocking, seemingly playful, but in fact it does not do any useless work.
The pain in his feet made Ding Xiu's face distort slightly, but it was this attack that made him understand the strength of mutated creatures.
The most common mutant creature in the wasteland is the Steppenwolf, its mutation level is not high, but the claw blow can tear the face and stomach of ordinary people, and the bite can directly tear off the arms and legs.
This monster seems to be a bit far behind Steppenwolf in terms of strength.
"If that's what you're capable of, then the time you show up will be your time of death." Ding Xiu endured the pain in his ankle, reached down with one hand and grabbed the mutant creature's big claw, and the fingers of the other hand were already on the trigger of the nuclear rifle.
The monster's head poked out of the sand, its two long black whiskers swaying from side to side, its dark eyes reflecting a few bits of light in the setting sun.
The long beard was drawn to Ding Xiu's face, leaving a red mark in an instant. Ding Xiu was a little pained, and raised his hand to shoot it in the eyeball.
The ammunition in the nuclear rifle has been quantified, and the penetration and damage are greater than those of the previous metal ammunition. Especially now, many species have undergone nuclear radiation and genetic mutations, and their bodies have also undergone great changes.
The lethality of traditional ammunition is gradually weakening, and the old weapons have been reduced to the point that they can only be used to kill people, and they can only kill ordinary people.
A shot from close range hit the mutant creature's right eye with great precision, and the bullet instantly pierced the eye, causing the monster to frantically shake its head in such a way that the pain was so intense that the monster began to frantically shake its head.
The scream of "Sisi" was incessant, and the mutant creature released its large claw that clamped Ding Xiu's ankle, and then its entire body emerged from the gravel, knocking Ding Xiu to the sand dune.
"Oh my God, it's so big!" The head that poked out of the sand looked like it was only the size of a car tire, but when the monster's entire body was out of the ground, Ding Xiu found that its body was half the size of a car body.
The limbs of the mutant creature were very agile, and when it pressed Ding Xiu, the big claws in front of him had already struck at his head.
Ding Xiu was caught off guard and was pressed under it by him, and he had nowhere to hide, so he could only turn his head sideways to avoid its claws.
The big claws plunged into the gravel, and the splash of sand hit Ding Xiu's face.
One of the mutant creature's eyeballs had lost its luster, and the energy projectile of the nuclear rifle had pierced a hole in it, and the dark liquid inside flowed out of the hole, and the original egg-sized eyeballs turned from bright to frosted.
The sand accidentally fell into Ding Xiu's eyes, and he couldn't pull out his hand to wipe it, so he had to blink desperately.
Just when Ding Xiu just closed his eyes, there was another pain in his shoulder.
The mutant creature's big claws stabbed into his shoulder fiercely, perhaps because it was blind in one eye, its attack had already lost its accuracy, and it had just missed the moment when Ding Xiu showed its flaws, and failed to kill the prey with one blow by attacking the head.
Ding Xiu reacted quickly, and at the same time as he injured his shoulder, he thought of a way to fight back, but when he raised the gun to shoot again, the mutant creature's other big claw suddenly knocked the nuclear rifle out of his hand.
The gun landed on the gravel a few paces away from him, but Ding Xiu's hands couldn't reach it, because the lower half of his body was still pressed against the monster's massive body.
The sand is soft, as is the mutant creature's abdomen, whose hard shells are concentrated on its head and back, and because it usually hides underground, its shell has not evolved enough to protect its entire body.
Ding Xiu tried to pull his foot out from under the mutant creature, but the monster didn't give him a chance.
In addition to a pair of large claws on its chest, the mutant creature has four legs on its lower body, which are not as thick as the claws, but they are large enough to support their fat bodies on the sand.
The feet of the mutant creatures were stuck on the outside of the space where Ding Xiu could move his feet, so Ding Xiu had the strength but couldn't use it.
Just as it raised its claws again and was about to stab Ding Xiu's head, the nineteen-year-old border guard soldier took something out of his satchel on his waist.
The red light lit up from Ding Xiu's hand, and Ding Xiu directly pressed the thing in his hand on the mutated creature's other eye.
The mutant creature roared, unconsciously lifting itself up, trying to keep its eyes off the thing.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ding Xiu was finally able to pull out, and he staggered and crawled towards his nuclear rifle that had been knocked out by the mutated creature, and took the weapon back in his hand.
What helped Ding Xiu get out was just a gadget used to light a fire in the desert, but at this critical time, it played a big role.
"Does it hurt? I hurt more than you! Ding Xiu said fiercely, he had just burned the mutant creature's other eye with a firecracker. The mutant creature has no eyelids, and the high temperature of the igniter acts directly on its eyeballs.
The evening breeze in the desert was slightly cool, but at this moment, Ding Xiu's blood was boiling. As soon as he broke free from beneath the mutant creatures, he gradually mastered the rhythm of the battle.
Previously, he was a rat in the eyes of mutant creatures, and mutated creatures were cats. At this moment, the mutant creature is still a cat, but Ding Xiu has become a vicious dog.
The mutant creature with both eyes wounded tried to escape, and it ripped open of the sand beneath it, intending to burrow back into the ground.
How could Ding Xiu give it this chance, the firing point of the nuclear rifle immediately shifted from the head of the mutant creature to its limbs, and almost all the guns hit the joints.
The four legs of the mutant's lower body detached from its body after being hit at the joints, and the claws in front of it didn't last more than three seconds.
Ding Xiu's body is slender and strong, and his marksmanship is also very accurate, all of which are the result of the late veteran captain Zhang Rongshe's unsparing cultivation of him.
The mutant creature's body collapsed on the ground, and its limbs were all broken by Ding Xiu with a nuclear rifle. Without the support of its big claws and four legs, it could no longer dive into the sand and could only be slaughtered by Ding Xiu.
"If you don't provoke me, I may still be afraid of you, but you have to force me to a dead end, I can only continue to live if I kill you! You forced me to do this! Ding Xiu pressed the muzzle of the nuclear rifle against the monster's head, pulled the trigger with his finger, and the energy projectile in the muzzle continued to spray for more than ten seconds before the monster quieted down.
"Whew, it's over." Although the mutant creature is dead, Ding Xiu's troubles are not over, he has lost his car, he is in the wasteland, and the night is still long.
There are countless mutated creatures in the wasteland, from the one Ding Xiu just killed, to the poisonous lizard with a barbed tail the size of a palm, each of which can kill Ding Xiu unknowingly in the dark night.
After this thrilling battle, Ding Xiu's body had already lost his strength, and he barely leaned against the monster's corpse to breathe evenly, and he gave up his plan to rush back to the camp now.
He patted the corpse of the mutant creature with his hand, "Anyway, I've already killed you, and tonight I will die on the wasteland." Earned! ”
When he said the word "cushion back", Ding Xiu suddenly had an idea, and his eyes glanced at the round belly under the mutant creature.
