Chapter 540 541.Corpses in the Snow
bloodstain
After the blizzard, the world was at a loss.
But the few traces of blood were very obvious, like a bright smudge suddenly appeared on a large white cloth.
A modified SUV overturned on its side in the snow, mottled rust and numerous bullet holes covered with the steel fence on one side, as if telling of a terrible battle.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
Several diminutive figures shuttled through the snow, picking up some stumps and severed arms and gnawing them.
They are small in stature and appear to be the size of a human baby.
The skull alone took up a third of its body, its torso was emaciated, its gray-blue skin covered with rotting sores, but it had powerful limbs and sharp claws.
"Ghost Baby."
"They also come out to forage for food in the winter."
The dragon's eye looked from afar and saw this extremely special alien species.
Don't underestimate this dwarf monster, they originally came from the abyss of the underground cracks, but they have intelligence beyond ordinary creatures, about the intelligence level of a normal human being 5 or 6 years old.
It may seem childish and imbecile, but in fact, the ghost baby has learned how to hunt selectively, and chooses to flee as soon as the enemy is too strong.
"Grab a few alive and go back."
"The living specimen of the ghost baby is very valuable, and it can be exchanged for a lot of contribution points in the Red Dragon Base."
Silver Star was overjoyed to find the "valuable" prey, and since the Red Dragon Base was dedicated to studying the forms of various monsters, the precious living specimens became extremely valuable and could be exchanged for a large amount of contributions.
Contribution, just like Dawn Coins, can be used to buy all sorts of things.
"Need help?"
Gu Fan raised his eyebrows, but Yinxing shook his head and said proudly: "I'm not a vase, this little thing can be done." ”
"Iron arm, cover us, don't startle the snake."
"The fox girl uses poison first, and the thin monkey follows me."
Silver Star showed the command charm of the leader of his combat team, the team members had a clear division of labor, the fox girl hid in the snow and slowly moved forward, and a trace of sweet smell filled the surrounding air and slowly spread.
The Skinny Monkey and Silver Star were also disguised, crawling through the snow without making a sound.
The ghost baby is extremely sharp and fast.
They seemed to sense something, and a few of them slightly lowered their munching human arms and looked around suspiciously, but found nothing else.
Hit the spot.
The position of Silver Star and Skinny Monkey's stagnation was just right, just the limit of the ghost baby's perception.
One minute.
Two minutes.
The fox girl's slightly sweet smell was already permeating the surroundings, and she handed over an "OK" gesture from a distance.
Above!!
Silver Star and Skinny Monkey suddenly have a hard time.
The fox girl also erupted with the poisonous ability on her body, and the ghost babies immediately felt dizzy and shaky.
Sou.
Whoosh.
Several sharp silver knives sliced through the air, instantly piercing the claws of several ghost babies and nailing them to the overturned armored vehicle.
The ghost baby grinned and let out a terrible scream of pain, and the corrosive liquid with thick sores flowed down, and the steel plates of the off-road vehicle and the steel knives made by the Silver Star ability all made a "zizzle" sound.
Boom.
The skinny monkey is also good.
The two daggers flickered, severing the Ghost Baby's wrists and ankles, and the hunched Assassin was only a few heads larger than the Ghost Baby, but he was much more agile in his movements.
The ghost baby doll screamed.
They jumped up like mushrooms buried in the snow, numbering twenty or thirty, surrounded the Silver Star and the Thin Monkey, but they did not attack recklessly, but waited for the best opportunity.
Click!!
The Iron Arm is in charge of cover, and of course will not give them a chance to prepare.
The mechanical arm was attached to a six-barreled Gatling spinning heavy machine gun, and bullet casings larger than the thickness of a finger fell like rain, and the bullet storm also tore through one side of the encirclement, smashing the young bodies of several ghost babies into a hornet's nest.
It works very well.
The cooperation between the Dark Dragon forces is enough to compare with the inquisitors in the Inquisition, and Silver Star can even compare to the Legendary Fourteen.
Squeak squeak.
Squeak squeak.
The ghost babies scurried around in fright, making rat-like noises and communicating with each other.
They already understood that the enemy in front of them was not something they could fight, and immediately chose to flee.
This is where ghost babies are different from other xenomorphs, they know how to escape if they can't be beaten, and this alone can greatly increase the probability of their survival.
"Caught 5 heads, that's enough."
"No need to keep chasing."
Silver Star glanced at the ghost baby pinned to the buggy, it was enough to have these few live specimens.
Gu Fan and a few people also walked up.
The dragon's eyes were sharp, and from time to time he checked the traces of battle on the ground.
"Boss...... The supplies are all gone. ”
"This group doesn't look like they've been attacked by xenos, it's like they've been attacked by humans."
Long Jing examined the steel plates on the overturned off-road vehicle, which had bullet holes caused by heavy firearms.
Many of the human corpses on the ground had also been cut open by sharp blades, and one person's neck had the major arteries slashed, and the wounds were smooth and round, not like they were the work of xenos.
Gu Fan also nodded.
Yinxing seemed to be used to this, and explained: "It's normal, they should have been robbed by bandits on the way, just like us." ”
Brigand.
The dark dragon army where Silver Star is located is the same as the bandits, and they have also opened a black shop.
Of course, in addition to them, there are many other bandits, fierce giants, who are hovering around the Red Dragon base.
"It's not been very quiet lately."
"There were too many homeless people and too many robbers, and the ambush killed the group of hunters, robbed them of their supplies, and the corpses were still in the snow."
Silver Star was accustomed to this, and glanced at those ghost babies again, and continued: "The smell of corpses will attract xenos, and those ghost babies will specially pick up other people's corpses to eat, I'm afraid there is a ghost baby's lair nearby." ”
No wonder.
If it was a xenomorph raiding human, all the supplies would have been retained, and the corpses of the humans would have been gnawed away a long time ago.
Those ghost babies are actually here to "pick up leaks", and the remains left behind by humans fighting each other are enough to feed these small xenomorph monsters, enough to imagine how many people died in the wilderness.
"Be careful."
"The fact that these corpses are thrown here shows that there are other robbers nearby, and that there are xenos hiding in the shadows."
Silverstar's expression became much more serious, but there was a hint of excitement in her eyes, and the more dangerous it was, the more it would stimulate her desire to fight.
At this point, she seems to be somewhat similar to Gu Fan!
"Wait a minute."
Everyone was about to set off again, and Gu Fan seemed to have thought of something.
"Let's find the cave of the ghost baby nearby."
"There should be some special xenomorphs evolved among the ghost babies, and maybe they will be of some use in the future."
