Chapter 220: The Stinging Snake
Click......
With the crisp sound of the pointer, the six barrels of the machine gun turned rapidly, and the muzzle of the cannon erupted long and narrow flames.
The lines of fire that swirled together in rapid rotation swelled into a cloud of fire, and the thick rays of light struck the radscorpion's body like a torrential rain, causing the shell to crackle and hiss.
IT CAN BE SEEN THAT THE 20MM CALIBER WARHEAD FIRED BY THE MACHINE GUN CAN STILL DESTROY THE HARD EXOSKELETON OF THE RADSCORPION.
This situation is very good, but what makes Tang Yan unhappy is that the radscorpion's vitality is very tenacious, and after withstanding a round of violent storm attacks, the huge claws that were originally used to cut off the body of the prey were used as a shield in front of the face.
Similar to the large pincers of crabs, they can be said to be the hardest part of the body of the radscorpion, and the bullets fired by the machine cannon can break through the hard shell of the body, but when it is changed to the crust part, the effect is not so good.
However, his shot still delayed the attack of the radscorpion, and the monster did not dare to show its head.
Tang Yan thought about getting closer to make the bullets more powerful, he didn't believe that a box of bullets would not be able to deal with a radscorpion.
This decision proved to be a bit reckless, and he carried the usual weapon of Tykes, and he also committed the fault of Tykes------ sometimes being impatient and not calm enough due to the situation of the battle.
When he carried the machine cannon step by step, and was already less than two meters away from the radscorpion, the sting needle that had been curled up behind him suddenly raised and turned into a black light and stabbed forward.
The gloomy cold light tore through the darkness of the night, and came with a vicious wind.
Tang Yan's reaction was not unfast, the moment he observed the reaction behind the radscorpion, the heat in his brain suddenly converged, and he hurriedly turned sideways, trying to leave the position he was in now. However, he overlooked one thing------ the machine gun was heavy, and the non-C-14 Piercer II electromagnetic rifle could compare.
As he turned sideways, the radscorpion's sting needle turned sideways, stabbing down as he dodged.
Tang Yan saw that the tail spines of the radscorpion would bend, and at the moment of emergency, he gave himself a booster stimulant, trying to improve his dodge speed.
Unfortunately, he was a little late in using the booster stimulant, and despite trying hard to dodge, he was still stabbed in the body by a needle, but fortunately, the point of contact moved from his chest to his shoulder armor.
There was a bang.
He was hit by a strong force, even if he was wearing a half-ton power armor, he was still driven by the force, and he took several steps back in a row to stabilize his position.
"That's a lot of power...... "He looked down at the place where the radscorpion had hit.
The shoulder armor, which even an anti-materiel sniper rifle could not penetrate, was sunken inward, the patent leather was badly peeled off, and small, dense bubbles appeared in the stainless steel structure.
"Is it still corrosive......
His face is very ugly, you must know that he is now wearing the power armor of the Son of Keha, which is a strengthened power armor that only the elite forces of the StarCraft World Mengsk Emperor's direct guard are qualified to equip, and the stinging needle of the radscorpion can cause obvious depressions, if it is replaced with ordinary CMC-300 power armor, I am afraid that it has been injured by the stinging needle.
The impact of the radscorpion's sting attack was not only these, but also won it the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and in the process of Tang Yan's retreat, it also changed from a defensive posture to an offensive posture, quickly crossing the buffer zone, and wielding two chelous pincers full of bullet holes to attack.
At the same time that Tang Yan's feet were exerting force downward, the thruster behind him ignited, and the recoil force carried him to jump upward, avoiding the crusters of the radiant scorpion attacking the lower plate, and jumped to a place three meters away at once.
Bang ......
There was a crisp crash, and it was the radscorpion's multi-legged slashing at the rocks on the ground.
He landed on this side, and the radscorpion raised its claws again, ready to launch a second attack.
"Damn, this thing is much more difficult than a mireurur......" Tang Yan scolded in his heart.
The shell of the mirelurk is also very hard, but not to this extent, at least with the power of the P-45 electromagnetic pistol, it can still break through the shell of the mirelurk.
But what about radscorpions? To break through the radscorpion's defenses, even if it is a heavy weapon such as a machine gun, you have to find its weak point, and you can imagine how hard the radscorpion's exoskeleton is.
An experienced bounty hunter like that would prefer to use mines against radscorpions in most cases, as the ground-facing part of the radscorpion is softer than the sky-facing side.
Behind him was a sloping area that stretched downward, a terrain where spider mines could be placed.
Just as Tang Yan stepped back quickly, trying to distance himself from the radscorpion a little, a behemoth flashed next to him.
Poof.
A large black shadow flew over.
This black shadow hit the radscorpion that was chasing Tang Yan very accurately.
The Black Shadow is not solid, but a liquid polymer with a certain viscosity, which forms a green carpet under the light spread by the stars.
Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, and his gaze swept to his side.
The black shadow looked a little bloated, about the size of a small car, and the knife-like bone plates cast a dark shadow on the ground, and the blood-red pupils shone with a strange light.
"Dog meat?"
Dog meat changed its posture at some point.
He didn't exchange for the spider mine, suddenly stopped, lifted the machine gun and pressed the trigger.
......
The bullet chain pushed forward, the barrel spun rapidly, the expanding tongue of fire lit up everything around it, and the rain of bullets fell on the radscorpion's shell once more.
Unlike the previous time, there was a constant popping sound ahead, a large number of fragments of bone slag rose into the air, blood splattered outward, and the radscorpion made a squeaking sound, which sounded very miserable.
With the fire of the machine gun, the dog meat constantly spews out a strong corrosive sour saliva.
This process did not last long, the radscorpion stopped screaming in pain, and the body of the blasted flesh and blood finally collapsed, and the sting needle also collapsed to the ground.
"Dead?"
Tang Yan winked at the dog meat.
The creature walked over with its bloated back and stuck its head out against the motionless radscorpion on the ground.
There was no response, and it did appear to be dead.
"Okay...... It also has the effect of reducing the target's armor. ”
Dog Meat shook his body when he heard this, looking very proud.
You must know that this is still not the case of upgrading iodic acid bile, dog meat can already corrode the exoskeleton of the radiation scorpion, once the iodicate bile is upgraded, and then synchronized with the ability of the filthy insect, how powerful it will become, you can imagine.
The sound of gunfire and flames and the shouts of soldiers were constantly heard from the other side of the dirt slope.
Tang Yan didn't care about the battle over there, threw the machine gun on the ground, walked to the face of the radscorpion that was bombarded by the rain of bullets, and found a place that was not covered by green sour saliva and stretched out his palm.
The next breath sounds, and the emotionless system prompt sounds.
"Gene of interest is being extracted...... Finish. ”
"Retrieving the alien gene pool...... Done"
"Allocating system resources...... Finish. ”
"A genetic model of the parasite is being built...... Finish. ”
"The insect module has been activated, and the potential of the stinging snake has been released."
The Stinging Snake is a classic unit of the Interstellar One era, and the Stinging Snake has been unlocked.
Tang Yan turned his attention to the system space, swiped the interface to the alien insect evolution tree, and saw that a branch above the cockroach was highlighted.
Just like that sound prompt, it's the Stinging Snake that has unlocked.
The original caterpillar-like herbivorous inert insect has been severely distorted by the mastermind, and this innocent creature has since been transformed into a vicious killer called the Stinging Snake. Hidden in the bone plates beneath the serpent's carapace are numerous armor-piercing spine needles capable of shooting at enemies from the air or from the ground. The stinging snake has extremely strong musculature (4,000 muscles compared to 629 in humans) and is able to shoot spinal needles at an astonishing rate, even at the farthest ranges, penetrating 2 centimeters thick special steel plates.
Special Steel Plate ...... You must know that the special steel plates in the StarCraft world are much stronger than the armor used in the current world's depleted uranium armor and ceramic armor and other main battle tanks.
"I wonder if the dog meat can break through the armor of the Type 99 main battle tank when it switches to the stinging snake stance?"
With this expectation, he glanced at the cost of exchanging for a parasite that carried the stinging snake's genes ------ 14,000 reward points, which was 7 times that of the parasites that carried the cockroach's genes.
This...... That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
You must know that in the battle mode, the role of cockroaches is not much weaker than that of stinging snakes, but the cost...... Why is it so much worse?
The thought flashed through my mind, as I remembered the data of the Marauders and siege tanks.
In PvP mode, in many cases, the Marauders are not much more effective than siege tanks, but what about the cost? One is about 5000 and the other is 20W, a difference of 40 times.
In this way, the difference of 7 times the cost of a parasite carrying the gene of a stinging snake and a parasite carrying the gene of a cockroach is really nothing.
In the current battlefield environment, there is naturally no way to trick dog meat into eating the parasite that carries the gene of the stinging snake.
Just as he was about to evacuate the system space, he suddenly noticed a new situation------ the cockroach branch below the stinging snake branch, and an unobtrusive NEW icon emitted breathing light.
"Hey, this is ......" It seems that the radscorpion's genetic potential is very strong, not only unlocking the stinging snake, but also side items.
He then pulled down the gene tree to the cockroach branch, and found a new upgrade item in the upper right corner of the cockroach pattern------ iodic acid bile.
It's really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived! Before, he had imagined how much power the dog meat would improve after upgrading iodic acid bile, but he didn't expect that after only a few minutes, iodicate bile would be unlocked.
Iodic acid bile is expressed in the game in the form of ------ increases the damage of cockroaches to light armor units by 8.
Considering the gap between the game and reality, the effect of iodic acid bile is manifested in dog meat, and it is likely to increase the attack power, that is, the corrosiveness of the strong acid solution.
He looked at the parasite carrying the corresponding gene of iodic acid bile again------ 3200 bonus points.
14,000 stinging snakes and 3,200 iodic acid bile, adding up to a total of 17,200 bonus points.
This bonus value is a drop in the bucket for his current deposit.
However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, where is there time to exchange him for genetic parasites and give dog meat a new form.
"Tang Yan, Tang Yan...... You're ......"
At this time, a shout from the front woke him up, and he quickly shifted his attention from the system space back to the real world.
At some point, Juniper crossed the ditch and came to his side.
The P-43 power armor obscured Juniper's face and could not see the change in his expression, but from Fang Cai's shouting and the landing of his gaze, it could be seen that he was very afraid of strange species that suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
"Don't be nervous, it's not the enemy."
Tang Yan didn't explain why the dog meat became like this.
You must know that when the Black Hand Mercenary Regiment attacked the Maxim's Canning Factory, many people, including the Black Hand Mercenaries and the Panda Man Legionnaires, saw the new form of dog meat, but it was only a short time, and the matter about cockroaches did not spread.
"It'...... It...... Did you kill me? Juniper was referring to the radscorpion corpse on the ground.
"Or else?" Tang Yan replied to him casually, shaking off the radiant scorpion body fluids on his hands.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound from behind, and a wide black shadow rushed out of the ditch.
Juniper's attention was all on the Death Radscorpion, ignoring the danger that lay behind.
Tang Yan hesitated, but still roared out of the way, and while his body moved to the side, the machine cannon was activated, and a continuous thick line of fire was poured on the black shadow, and the screams were screaming, and the sting needle raised high continued to tremble.
Juniper was startled by Tang Yan's actions, and only woke up when he heard the painful hiss from behind him, he quickly turned around and looked back, and when he saw the radscorpion following behind, he subconsciously retreated back and stopped beside Tang Yan.
At this time, the dog's body continued to stir, and one after another corrosive acid saliva struck the radscorpion's face.
The shell rattles, and the sound of bone cracking is endless.
Under the dual effect of acid etching solution and large-caliber bullets, the howl of the radscorpion became lower and lower, and gradually became inaudible.
Juniper stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
WHEN THE GUNFIRE STOPPED, THE FIRST CLASS RESERVE OFFICER LEANED FORWARD, STABBED THE RADIANT SCORPION BODY WITH THE 5.56MM MACHINE GUN IN HIS HAND, AND SAW THAT THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT, AND KICKED THE PAIR OF HUGE CHELATORS WITH A FAINT COLD LIGHT.
Still no movement.
"Dead ...... He's dead? He looked at the squad machine gun in his hand, and then at the machine gun in Tang Yan's hand, his eyes flickered slightly, and his expression was a little inferior.
Tang Yan didn't care about his reaction, and walked up the ramp with the machine gun and looked at the side of the earthen ditch.
The soldiers of the Yunmeng mercenary group were chased by two radiation scorpions and ran all over the mountain, and Zhang Tonglin fell on the big bluestone not far away, already dead. He was also strewn with tourniquets and gauze for bandaging.
Speaking of which, this juniper is really a bit bold, and chooses to venture across the dirt ditch and ask for help when his companion is scattered by the radscorpion and does not know how to deal with the current situation.
One, two, three, four, five, six......
He counted in his heart, and in a small amount of effort, six of the mercenaries of the Yunmeng Mercenary Group who came with him had died.
Even machine guns can't easily kill under the full defense of the radscorpion, let alone the weapons used by Juniper and the others.
Rumble!
Just as he was stunned, the soldier with the RPG on his back finally found a suitable position and fired a rocket at the lone radscorpion behind him.
The explosion sent a cloud of light and fire, sending stones and dead grass flying outward, and the radscorpion being flipped off its head.
It's just a flip on the heel...... The tail was not broken, and the chelica clamps were not broken.
