Chapter 97: The Forest Crisis

Lin Ci looked in all directions, holding an automatic pistol from Pete in his right hand and firing continuously, while the blood devouring in his left hand drew a bright red and terrible trace, tearing the skinless monsters that climbed up one by one to pieces.

There was another flash of red light in the monster group, and the second Blood King Gun opened the way, blasting out a passage of seven or eight meters in front of the car. Momiji seized the opportunity and screamed and stepped on the accelerator, and the car ran over the bodies of countless monsters and rushed past.

Lin Ci had already exhausted the bullets in the gun at this time, directly threw away the automatic pistol, and then fired the Blood King Gun three times in a row, maintaining the passage forward. With the blood-devouring five claws dyed red, when the claws were red as if they were about to drip blood, Lin Xi raised his claws to catch them!

Suddenly, a dense red line flashed in front of him, flickering like a laser network, and the monster in this red light network suddenly froze, and its body was torn apart. When the optical network disappeared, a huge space of more than ten meters square was cleared.

Momiji only felt that her eyes were empty, she screamed with joy, and seized the opportunity to drive and sprint. The empty space that had just been opened by the scarlet flash was quickly filled by the rippers who pounced on them one after another, but after this time, the rippers seemed to have a sense of fear, and their actions were much slower than just now.

At that moment, a gluttonous eater screamed. Its streamlined body squatted slightly, and suddenly its hind limbs straightened, and its body slid out like a black arrow, sliding over a distance of more than ten meters, and after landing, its limbs slashed, grabbing fluffy sparks on the roofs of many cars, and rushing towards the car.

At the same time, there is also a gluttonous on the left and right sides, and three gluttonous eaters running from different directions. Lin Ci snorted, his eyes lit up, and a blood-red light tide spread rapidly from under the chassis of the car, spreading to more than ten meters away in an instant.

As soon as the released force field scarlet opened, the three-headed gluttonous eater crashed into the force field, and suddenly a large mouth appeared under the gluttonous eater in the center, and the gluttonous eater was caught off guard, and his limbs were slashed, but he still fell into the trap.

The Blood Behemoth suddenly rose from the force field, and its giant-like upper body waved its two arms, not only slapping away the two Gluttones, but also sweeping away large swaths of the Rippers.

"Now!" Lin Xi shouted.

Momiji was stunned to look at the blood giant beast that was four or five meters high, and only reacted when he heard Lin Xi's voice, his speed increased sharply, and the car roared and rushed past the blood giant beast.

The blood giant beast didn't keep up, still staying in place and sweeping with both hands, from time to time catching a few rippers and throwing them into their big mouths to gnaw and devour, just leaving Lin Ci and the two of them to break off. It wasn't until the car rushed out of the force field, and a moment later, the force field disappeared, and the blood behemoth turned into plasma and fell under the car.

When the rest of the gluttonous eaters saw this, they all showed uneasiness. They stepped back slightly, clawed on the roof of the car, and kept barking at their fellow human beings with short cries, still talking.

They didn't command the Ripper for the time being, and Lin Ci and the two took advantage of this time to rush out more than ten meters. Finally, more than a dozen gluttonous eaters screamed at the same time, and together they pounced in the direction of the car.

Although he couldn't understand the cry of the glutton, Lin Ci felt that this should be the last wave of attack.

Because in addition to the dozen or so gluttonous eaters pounced, the other monsters were actually retreating to the periphery. Lin Xi patted the frame and said, "Stay and leave me alone, you just rush forward!" ”

Then retract into the car, open the door again, and roll out of the car. As soon as Lin Ci got out of the car, the rippers next to him kept surrounding, only staring at him from afar and roaring menacingly.

Lin Xi lifted the blood phagocytosis and activated the second-stage mutation of the blood phagocytosis. The Clutches dismantled and reconstructed the Warhammer Breaker. Holding the war hammer, Lin Ci headed towards a dozen gluttonous eaters, and the faster he ran, every cell in his body seemed to be burning.

Momiji in the car only heard a penetrating roar behind him, followed by an invisible sense of oppression, as if a fierce beast was chasing after him.

The gluttonous eaters in front of them suddenly jumped off the ground and jumped over the roof of the car. Momiji raised her head and could see the monsters in her abdomen, and then the gluttonous eater fell behind the car and rushed towards Lin Xi.

The two sides soon met.

Lin Ci lifted the saboteur, and the cone of the war hammer lit up, and in the dazzling red light that could not be seen directly, the saboteur suddenly smashed down.

At that moment, Momiji only felt that the whole world was screaming. The field of vision in her eyes suddenly widened, and she saw the mountain peaks in the distance, and countless monsters flying into the air in various postures.

Then she reacted, including the car under her seat and the monster outside, everything was shaken into the air by an invisible force. Then his vision plummeted, and Momiji screamed, holding the steering wheel tightly, and his hands turned white.

Eventually, the car slammed into the airbag that had burst out on its own, followed by a violent vibration that seemed to be a pair of invisible hands shaking her. It took a moment for the dizzy Momiji to recover. She looked in the front mirror of the car, and in the mirror, behind her, a thick column of blood rose up like a fountain!

Momiji stuck his head out of the window and looked back, and a blood spring rushed to the sky behind him, accompanied by the shaking and churning of the dust, and the momentum was amazing.

Far away in the mall of Bandle City, there was a slight tremor, and the people inside did not know what the tremor was about. Pete was patrolling the floors when a young man came running up to him and whispered in his ear, "Sheriff, we have found hundreds of monsters on the highway to the west. ”

Pete's eyebrows suddenly furrowed: "Those monsters are really hidden." ”

"Do you think those two will make it out?"

"I don't know, and I don't care about that right now." Pete shook his head, he was more concerned about how long the people in this building could last, "Go and set up barricades, just do what we said before, the more the better." ”

Pete said, but he didn't think the barricades were of any use.

On the road outside the city, Momiji suddenly noticed that the torn ones were retreating. Even the remaining gluttonous eaters kept retreating in both directions, as if there was something terrible in the tumultuous hustle and bustle. Then I saw Lin Ci walk out, Lin Ci dragged the war hammer destroyer, his body was full of monster blood, and even some meat scraps were sticky. He didn't walk fast, but he walked murderously.

Eventually, several Gluttons let out a short scream, and the Ripper retreated, retreating into the city along with the Gluttonous Eaters who had given the order.

After a few moments, there was no longer half a monster on the road. At this time, the corpses of all the monsters on the road battlefield were all disintegrated into black fluorescent.

Seeing the monster retreat, Lin Ci withdrew the blood devouring and walked back to the car, opened the door and got into the cab and said, "Let's go, the movement here may attract more monsters." ”

Momiji nodded, and drove towards the road ahead.

In the evening, they stopped in front of a small lake. There was also an off-road vehicle parked on the edge of the small lake, and there seemed to be a person sitting in the car.

Lin Ci got out of the car alone to check. As a result, when they got closer, it turned out that there were corpses in the car. I don't know how long I've been dead, but there's only one skeleton left.

Momiji drove the car over and parked by the lake.

And a man stumbled out of the woods on the shore.

He was about forty years old, and he made a voice of unknown meaning from his mouth, and ran towards Lin Xi and the two with his hands raised. In the middle of the way, seven or eight tentacles suddenly poked out from behind and flew towards the forest.

This is the xenomorph that Lin Ci is familiar with!

However, just as Lin Xi was about to make a move, the xeno's head suddenly exploded, and then a gunshot rang out from the dense forest on the west side. The headless xenomorph ran a few more steps and eventually fell to the ground.

A moment later, two figures appeared from the dense forest to the west, dressed in field camouflage uniforms, and their heads were camouflaged with branches and leaves. Judging by the way they held their guns, they should have been experienced soldiers.

Another older soldier looked at Lin Ci and said with sharp eyes like an eagle: "Where did you come from?" ”

A few minutes later, two soldiers also sat on a boulder by the lake. Lin Ci took two cans from the car to entertain them, and they were not polite and introduced themselves.

The older one was called Wood, and the younger one was Jem.

"We're coming from Bandle City, where there are still some people waiting for rescue, and we're going to look around the city to see where there are troops."

"The army?"

"Rescue?"

Master Chief and the soldier named Jem looked at each other and smiled, and Wood shook his head and said, "You probably don't understand the situation yet, young man. Now there is no rescue in other cities except Port Green. Monsters, monsters everywhere. ”

Wood ran out of food, threw away the can, and said, "Do you want to come with us, we have a camp over there." There were probably four or five soldiers, and a dozen civilians. We are going to Green Harbor. ”

"Is Port Greene safe now?" Lin Xi asked.

"Where would it be absolutely safe? Buddy. Master Chief shook his head, "Port Green is no exception, but I've heard that there are still forts built by the army, although it is surrounded by monsters. But on Mount Piltus near Port Green, we have a point of contact there. A transport plane from Port Greene will meet us there and bring us in from the air. ”

Lin Ci's face remained unchanged, but his heart moved: "Sounds like a good idea." ”

"Without further ado, let's go."

Moments later, the car drove away from the shore. Lin Ci was driving the car, and in the rearview mirror were Master Chief and Jem. From time to time, Wood gave Lin Ci directions, and they drove into the dense forest, and finally came to a campsite.

There are several cars parked here, ranging from modified RVs to military off-road vehicles. The vehicles formed a simple line of defense, and there were soldiers sitting in the RV, Wood got out of the car and said hello, and Lin Xi and Momiji came to the camp.

Like Wood said, there were four or five more soldiers here, and more than a dozen civilians. The majority of the civilians are men.

They didn't show any excitement when they saw Lin and the two, and then Wood didn't know what to say to them, and their eyes lit up.

Then Wood walked over and said to Lin Xi, "These people haven't had a good meal for many days, including us. I see that you have brought a lot of food, can you give us a little? ”

Lin Ci hesitated slightly, but still walked to the trunk to get something. He took a bag and filled a dozen cans and handed it to Wood.

Wood thanked him, then called Jem for his assignment. Jem gave each soldier a can, and the rest was distributed to civilians. A man saw that there were only five cans left, and immediately protested: "Sir, this is not enough!" ”

Wood walked over with a calm face and said, "Either the two of you eat one, or you go out and find something to eat yourself!" ”

Looking at the blackened forest, the man swallowed his words back, and then divided the things. The two men shared a can of food, while the two women enjoyed one with the child.

Originally, everything was going well, but suddenly a fat man threw the empty cans on the ground, pointed at Lin Ci and shouted: "They still have so much to eat, why don't they take out the things for everyone to enjoy together, don't we have to fill our stomachs?" ”

At this time, the non-commissioned officer raised his gun and said coldly: "First, the things belong to other people, so why do they need to give them to you; Second, you just don't starve to death. ”

The next morning, just after dawn, the soldiers woke people up one after another.

Lin Ci woke up early in the morning, in fact, he didn't sleep much last night, after all, he couldn't fully trust Wood and the others he met by chance.

After the market simply closed, everyone got on the bus. The road was opened by a military SUV with Woods sitting on it. This was followed by the caravan of Lin Ci and other civilians, and after the last off-road vehicle broke, the convoy headed northwest along a road in the forest.

Over the next few days, they passed through several small towns.

On the fourth night of his departure from Lugano, Wood found a high ground to camp, and he forbade people to make fires, lest the light of the fire attract monsters. All had to eat cold canned food, and at dinner, Wood and his soldiers sat in a distant circle, as if discussing something.

"I always felt that the atmosphere wasn't right." There was a hint of melancholy in Momiji's eyes.

"I think it's a little weird too, but no matter what happens, you remember to stay with me."

At this time, Wood walked over, sat down and looked at Lin Ci and said, "Young man, I want to discuss something with you?" ”

"What's the matter, Master Major?"

Wood looked at the trunk of their car, "You know, the food is getting scarce. In order to facilitate management, I hope you will hand over all the materials on the car to me, and I will arrange everyone's use, what do you think? ”

Lin Ci said without thinking: "I don't agree, these things are what we took a lot of effort to find, and I have already taken out some of them for everyone to use, are you doing this too much?" ”

Soldier Jem walked over, pointed a gun at Lin Ci and said, "What did I say I discussed with them?" Listen, you know? If you still want to go to Greenhaven, do as we say. ”

Wood reached out and pressed down Jem's gun, and said helplessly: "Mr. Lin Ci, you have to understand. Now we are a team, and if we find enough food, I won't do it, but the problem is no, and at this time, make sure that everyone has enough stamina and energy to get to Green Harbor safely, and if you don't say yes, then I can't do anything. ”

At this time, there were already soldiers carrying things at the trunk of Lin Ci's car.
