Chapter 45: All kinds of pitfalls
With Lin Yue's order, the trebuchet that was always ready was immediately activated, and twenty large stones roared up, smashing into the giant bear in the trap in a concentrated manner. Since the trebuchet had already aimed at that trap before, there was no need to do anything to aim at the moment, and the trebuchet was directly activated.
After the first round of throwing, the soldiers immediately prepared a second wave, throwing another wave of stones before the bear could climb out of the trap.
Before the giant bear in the trap could react to the sudden appearance of the trap, dozens of pieces fell from the sky, more than a dozen of them fell on its body, and even two large stones hit its head.
There was another scream, and the bear kept roaring, but the iron spears underneath pierced its flesh, making it extremely painful, and even worse, the iron spears had barbs on their heads, and after piercing into the bear's flesh, if the bear wanted to break free, those barbs would pierce his flesh and skin, making the bear even more painful.
"Keep throwing stones until the bear is out of the trap!" Lin Yue continued to give orders with an expressionless face, and the soldiers who operated the trebuchet also kept working hard. The trebuchet is very rudimentary, with a range of more than 100 meters, and it takes about half a minute to go from the time the stone is mounted to the time it is thrown. So those iron spears can bind the bear for a while longer, and the trebuchet can smash a few more big rocks.
Below it was an iron spear stinging its flesh, and above it was a stone smashing at it, and the giant bear was struck up and down, screaming in mad pain. It tried to break free of the iron spears, but the barbs attached to the iron spears grabbed its flesh and skin, preventing it from moving.
At last the bear could not bear the slamming of the stones, and in a fit of rage he broke free from the iron spears, and the barbs tore off a lot of its flesh, and the blood flowed freely. But the blood, though it seemed to be flowing a lot, was nothing to the bear, just a sharp pain that made it scream in pain.
The bear that had broken free from the trap roared loudly, its eyes glancing around to see who was attacking it. At this time, Lin Yue had already asked all the soldiers who were operating the trebuchet to hide immediately, and all the giant bear could see was the dozen or twenty rudimentary trebuchets.
Although the giant bear is a super mutant and has a tall body, its intelligence is still no different from that of ordinary big bears, and it is impossible to figure out if these strange pieces of wood are attacking it.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded in the distance on the left side of the trebuchet, and the giant bear immediately turned his head to look over, only to see a group of "little things" screaming at it. So it spread its footsteps and rushed at the little things.
These "little things" are naturally the Yuancheng soldiers, who shout and scream to attract the attention of the giant bear. When the bear ran towards them, they immediately scattered and fled.
The soldiers were only a few dozen meters away from the bear, and the bear could reach it after a few steps, but before he could get close to the soldiers, the bear felt empty again, and fell into a trap again.
"Whoa!" This time the giant bear roared no longer just screaming, but roaring, roaring in anger. This time it didn't struggle too much, but just broke free from the trap, and although the barbs still hurt it, the bear no longer cared about the pain, but reddened to find the killers who hurt him.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound fell into the ears of the giant bear, and the giant bear turned his head to look, only to see a "little thing" riding an unknown thing, with a loud rumble in the back and white smoke.
The giant bear didn't care what it was, and chased after it with a roar, but unexpectedly, the little thing ran extremely fast, and under the loud rumbling sound, it actually galloped at a rapid speed, and even the huge body of the giant bear could not catch up with him. During the run, the bear was also very worried that it would fall into the trap again, so he kept his eyes on the road.
Seeing the little thing getting farther and farther away from him, the giant bear roared unwillingly. In fact, in its previous state, it must have been able to catch up with that little thing, but now its bear paw has been stabbed by an iron spear, and it is very painful to run, and it can't run too fast at all.
Gradually, the bear stopped, and the little thing actually stopped, and then the back rumbled even more, constantly provoking the bear. The bear was furious again, spread its paws and chased after it. The little thing saw the bear catch up again, and rumbled and ran again, instantly increasing its speed to great speed.
The giant bear was very angry, so this time, despite the pain of the bear's paws, it continued to scream and catch up with the little thing, and the distance between the two became closer and closer, just when the giant bear was only ten meters away from the little thing, the little thing suddenly burrowed into a narrow canyon, and with the huge body of the giant bear, it could not get into it at all. And the little thing stopped in the canyon and continued to roar at it with a loud bang.
The bear wanted to get in and slap the little thing to death, but he couldn't squeeze in, so he could only slap the stone wall and roar. It lingered outside the stone wall for a long time, and when it found that it could not do anything with this little thing, it was reluctant to leave.
However, just after the giant bear had not gone far, the little thing actually came out and continued to roar and provoke the giant bear. In a fit of rage, the bear turned and ran to kill the little thing, but before it could catch up with it, it burrowed into the canyon again.
"Whoa!" The giant bear was really angry, and all kinds of blows slapped on the stone wall, and actually smashed the solid stone wall, and those boulders collapsed after blasting, blocking the canyon intersection.
Looking at the collapsed canyon, the giant bear walked left and right, found that there was no sound, and did not linger any longer, leaving the small canyon.
On the other side of the canyon, the little thing moved out and left in the other direction. This little thing is naturally also a soldier of Yuancheng, and he is riding a men's motorcycle, which is one of the few vehicles that are currently left in Yuandong. Originally, motorcycles could not walk in rugged wilderness, but for this operation to hunt the giant bear, Lin Yue had people build a road, and this road led to the narrow canyon, so that the soldiers on motorcycles could escape the pursuit of the giant bear.
It stands to reason that it is difficult to beat the giant bear at the speed of a motorcycle, because with the huge body of the giant bear, it is a distance of several meters to take a step, and the speed is naturally very fast. But Lin Yue relied on the traps covered with iron spears to stab the soles of its feet, making it difficult for it to run fast.
During the pursuit, the giant bear was weakened by the intense movement that caused the wound to crack even wider, and the blood continued to flow out.
On the other side, Lin Yue quickly organized soldiers to carry gasoline and firewood to the giant bear's cave when the giant bear was lured away.
"Be quick, get everything ready before the bear returns!" Lin Yue shouted loudly as he assisted the soldiers in carrying the firewood.
"Lin Yue, can this really hurt that giant bear?" Liao Huan walked up to Lin Yue and asked, "We can't be sure of the extent of that giant bear's injury, if it escapes as soon as possible while the cave is burning, then our plan to burn the flame will be useless." ”
Lin Yue smiled and replied, "Don't worry, before the giant bear returns to the cave, we will use a trebuchet to smash some gasoline on its body, and then light the flame while it is resting." ”
Liao Huan nodded in understanding. "That should work."
Ten minutes later, everything was moved, Lin Yue immediately asked everyone to retreat and hide, and at the same time let the trebuchet equip the oil tank so that it could attack quickly when the giant bear arrived.
After another ten minutes, the soldier on the motorcycle returned. He made a big circle and returned before the bear.
After some interrogation, after confirming that the soldier was fine, Lin Yue continued to rest assured that he would focus on ambushing the giant bear.
And the bear has not returned to its burrow for a long time, presumably in search of prey.
Two hours later, the giant bear's huge figure reappeared in everyone's sight. It's just that the giant bear is now scarred, and a lot of blood flows from the wounds on its body that were pierced by the iron spear, and the four soles of its feet are also full of wounds, and the giant bear can't help but let out a low whimper with every step it takes.
"Ready!" After seeing the giant bear come back, Lin Yue immediately said with a low sigh.
The soldiers who had already prepared their motorcycles immediately started their motorcycles and drove to the east side of the cave. When the giant bear on the west side of the cave heard the familiar rumble, his depressed eyes suddenly turned red again, and he stared at the motorcycle soldier and roared, but did not immediately catch up.
"Come here, you bloated bear!" The motorcycle soldier screamed loudly as he pulled the accelerator and roared at the giant bear.
Soon the bear was enraged again, and rushed at the motorcycle soldiers again, regardless of a single moment. It's just strange that the motorcycle soldier didn't run this time, but stayed where he was and continued to provoke.
When the giant bear saw that little thing motionless, his heart suddenly rejoiced, and he couldn't help but continue to speed up. But just as it was about to pounce on the motorcyclist, the damn foot came back and the bear fell into the trap again.
"Roar, roar, roar!" A roar full of unwillingness came from the giant bear's mouth, and today it had fallen into the trap three times in a row, and those sharp iron spears pierced its body again. When did it suffer such a disgrace?
"Cast!" Lin Yue gave an order, and twenty trebuchets smashed the oil canisters at the giant bear, and as soon as these oil canisters hit the giant bear's body, they burst open, and the few gasoline spilled on the giant bear's body.
"Whew!" The screaming bear broke free from the trap, and when he looked, the little thing was still there, rumbling and defiant. With a roar, the bear tried to pounce, but it stopped after a few steps, afraid to fall into the trap again.
The motorcycle soldier picked up the giant bear and did not chase after it, nor did he provoke anymore, but directly released the clutch, started the motorcycle and left.
The giant bear watched the motorcycle leave, and could only keep roaring, but he didn't dare to go forward to chase it.
