Chapter 218: Becoming a Spirit
When the dog heard that it was okay not to eat, the tail sandwiched between the two hind legs soared into the sky, and turned its head to show a flattering expression, and the dog's eyes were full of gratitude......
"What a defeat for you." Tang Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the forest behind him, and the dog meat that pretended to be stupid and cute suddenly became very alert, his nose twitched a few times, and he let out a hostile whimper into the depths of the forest.
"Uh......h Woo......"
It grinned, a cold glow flashing from its gums, and a glowing fungus spilled blue between its teeth.
窸窸窣窣窣......
There was another soft sound, and there were a few more dark shadows in the dark and dense parts of the forest.
Tang Yan dropped the mask of the power armor of the Son of Keha and looked over with the help of night vision devices.
"Heh......" Seeing the contours of the black shadow's face, he smiled dumbly, and said in his heart that the mountainous area where the gourd valley is located is indeed a fierce land for ordinary mercenaries and bounty hunters.
A few dark shadows in the forest were actually five mutant dogs, who should have smelled the smell of canned sea fish and mutated beef jerky, and followed the smell all the way.
"Yo, dog meat, it's your brother here." He said in a playful tone, not caring at all about the five mutant dogs opposite.
Dogmeat glanced at him and whined, presumably protesting that he was confusing it with the mutant dogs.
How could the noble dogmeat lord be related to those ugly guys.
Tang Yan ignored it, watched the mutant dog slowly walking out of the woods and came in an encircled posture and said, "If you plan to find a companion to bring back to Vault 1017, I have no opinion. ”
When he said this, his eyes fell on the middle of the five mutant dogs.
Unlike the other four mutant dogs, although the mutant dog in the middle has a hideous face, large and small rotten spots on its body, and many canine teeth protruding from the gums, its skin is white.
Albino mutant dogs, like glowing living corpses------ the best of mutant dogs.
Of course, the albino mutant dog is not a female dog breed, and Tang Yan only used it to tease dog meat.
"Go ahead, talk to them well, and just talk ...... Well, we're just passers-by, and we didn't want to make trouble here. ”
As soon as Tang Yan's voice fell, the dog meat rushed out with a swish, stepping on the fallen leaves and gravel on the ground and pounced on the albino mutant dog.
Woo......
Woo......
Woo......
A hostile whimper rang out.
The albino mutant dog didn't move, and the four mutant dogs next to him stepped forward and took the dog meat directly with a strong killing intent.
Perhaps in the eyes of albino mutant dogs, the behavior of dog meat is tantamount to self-defeating.
How can a guy without mutation be their opponent!
Tang Yan was not in the mood to watch the next scene, sat back on the big bluestone, unscrewed the kettle and poured it into his mouth.
A large jujube flowed down the water, and he gnawed down the sweet flesh and spit the jujube core into the slightly moist soil next to it.
He thought...... I don't know if a small tree will grow here next year, although it is unlikely, but ...... Life is always about hope, isn't it?
The roaring and whimpering in the woods ceased, and only the soft sound of the soo remained.
With a short effort, a black shadow rushed out of the woods, stepped over the dry meadow on the ground, and returned to Tang Yan with a fishy wind.
The glowing liquid on the dog's gum was gone, replaced by black-red blood, and as he gasped for breath like a "Hadahada", drop by drop fell into the dirt next to the big bluestone.
Tang Yan felt a little disgusted and leaned to the side.
The dog meat whined, as if it had been hit, moved to the big poplar tree in front of the big bluestone and leaned down, his chin was close to the ground, and his eyes were raised to look at Tang Yan, as if to say that I am an obedient and good baby, and you are a bad owner who turns his face and denies the dog......
"You're going to become a fine ......," Tang Yan quipped, and threw the red date out of the mouth of the kettle.
The dog meat didn't move, but squinted his eyes and swept the red dates that were only half a foot away from his mouth, still with a sulky expression that was snubbed by his master.
"Gotta get it...... I owe you all my life. Tang Yan glanced up at the sky, turned on the light of the power armor of the son of Keha, walked over and touched the dog's head and said, "Don't be sad, I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have snubbed you." ”
The dog looked up at him, stuck out its burrly tongue and licked it on his hand.
Tang Yan muttered in his heart: "MD, it's really fine." ”
You must know that when I found it in the ditch outside the Black Saints base, the intelligence level of this thing was far less than now, although it was also very sticky to him, but it would not be petty, basically what he told it to do, there was not so much messy careful thinking, and it would not be emotional.
He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this situation started when Cai Wei came to his side.
Click, click......
He was thinking about dog meat when he heard a noise coming from the woods.
Could it be that the bloody smell of those mutant dogs has attracted more mutant beasts?
He looked over with such a question, and saw several figures in the forest under the night in succession, snapping, snapping...... The sound is getting louder and louder, and it is getting more and more urgent.
No, the shadow of the mutant dog is relatively small, and the sound of the soles of the feet hitting the ground is not so loud.
When he realized that it wasn't a mutant dog, the first shadow swooped out of the woodland and appeared in the searchlight of the Son of Keha's power armor.
Tang Yan recognized the identity of the object...... It's not a mutant dog, it's a mutant two-headed deer.
It's not just a mutant two-headed deer, it's a lot of mutant two-headed deer.
The first mutant two-headed deer was shaken by the searchlight beam of the Son of Keha's power armor, and was not lightly frightened, and ran out of the ravine with a low roar.
Behind it is the second mutant two-headed deer, the third mutated two-headed deer, and the fourth mutated two-headed deer......
At this time, the dog meat turned into a jumping insect posture, rushed to the front of the big bluestone and kept shaking the thin wings under the ribs, making a hissing sound, and exuding a burst of killing intent at the mutated two-headed deer rushing over in the forest.
The mutant two-headed deer in the front changed direction, and the mutant two-headed deer that followed behind followed the change direction, turning left from the ravine in front of the big bluestone, and running towards the flat area in the distance.
Tang Yan walked to the side of the dog meat with the C-14 Piercing Hand II electromagnetic rifle in his hand, and frowned as he looked at the mutant two-headed deer group that was galloping away.
Similar to mutated two-headed cows and radiant chickens, even if the nuclear contamination changes the genes of wild deer, making them grow two heads and sharper horns, but compared with mutant dogs, radiant flies, mirelurks and other fierce beasts, they are almost non-aggressive and docile, and once they perceive danger, the most common reaction is to run away.
Judging from the current scene, if it was a mutant two-headed deer who fled in the wilderness, he wouldn't care too much, and now many mutated two-headed deer are running out regardless of the night, which will inevitably make him think deeply about whether there is an inside story.
What is it that scares them so much?
Mutant Bear (Youkai)? Radscorpion? Or is it ...... Those people from the Yunmeng Mercenary Group?
Thinking of this, he took a step forward: "Let's go, go over there and have a look." ”
The dog meat hissed, swooped out, and traveled up the trajectory of the mutated two-headed deer.
Tang Yan held the C-14 Piercing Hand II electromagnetic rifle and followed.
Passing through the dense forest, crossing a stream of clear water, I faintly heard gunshots coming from the side ahead.
He made sure he was in the right place, and walked along the slope to the other side of the hill.
As we walked through the mountainside, the gunfire became more urgent.
Tang Yan turned off the searchlight, slowed his pace as much as possible, and followed the route explored by Dog Meat all the way up, and it took about a few minutes to reach the top of the mountain.
The weather was fine tonight, and the starlight was spreading over the weathered stones.
Tang Yan lay on the ground and poked his head out to look at the environment in front of him.
On the opposite side is a valley surrounded by a circular ridge.
The place where the gunfire came from was located on the eastern slopes of the valley, and the flames flickered continuously, and the bullets drew rays of light in the night.
Based on the data fed back to the headset HUD interface by the smart marking system.
There were about 15 people behind the rocky group on the eastern slope, and in front of these 15 people, a group of living corpses in tattered military uniforms braved the rain of bullets and rushed upward.
In the ranks of these living corpses, there were also three individuals with green fluorescence, as if three ghost fires were floating in the valley, which should be more difficult glowing living corpses.
The mutated two-headed deer who lived in the valley ahead was frightened by the gunfight, so he climbed over the hill where he was and ran towards the flat area to the southwest.
"15 ...... That's not right......"
Tang Yan counted and counted, and confirmed through the eye of the dog meat, that there were indeed only 15 people hiding behind the rocks to snipe the living corpses.
The information Johnson gave him was that the Yunmeng mercenary group had dispatched more than 50 people for this operation, why were there only 15 left?
Dead?
Or is it actively separated? After all, the scope of Hulu Valley is not small, and exploring separately can save time and energy.
He also drew another inference from the scene ahead.
The rumor that there is a military command center hidden in the mountainous area where Hulu Valley is located seems to be true, otherwise how could the clothes on those living corpses be mainly military uniforms?
Just as he looked down and thought, a glowing corpse rushed up the slope, its body like a small sun that had suddenly burst open, spreading a radiant shockwave around it.
The people of the Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment hurriedly lowered their heads and cowered behind the rock mass to avoid radiation damage.
The radiated shock wave of the glowing living corpses not only suppressed the attack of the Yunmeng mercenary group, but some of the living corpses that had been killed by the bullets before rose from the ground one after another due to the recovery effect of the radiation and took the opportunity to move forward.
This change suddenly disrupted the attack rhythm of the Yunmeng mercenary group, and they could only choose to retreat in order to escape the pursuit of the living corpses.
You must know that they are located behind the rock group, once the living corpse crosses the open area and rushes into the relatively complex rock group, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of sniping, and it is a night environment, and the vision is greatly affected due to the lack of light.
The sparse rocky formations stretched all the way to the top of the mountain, and if the people of the Yunmeng mercenary group chose to retreat, they would inevitably retreat to the end, or leave the eastern slope and retreat in the rest of the direction.
Tang Yan squinted his eyes at the sniper front of the Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment, which had already appeared in local chaos, sent an order to the dog meat, and then quickly crossed the rock in front of him and ran towards the valley below.
There is a wooded area in the area that extends down the southern slope, although it is not very dense, but it is not difficult to hide one or two people in the night.
The C-14 Piercing II electromagnetic rifle was replaced by a machine gun after he entered the woodland.
Just when the people of the Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment decided to abandon their existing positions and retreat to the back to avoid the impact of the living corpses, thick lines of fire flew out from the flank mountain forest, bringing a blood-colored tide to the ramp where the living corpses were densely distributed.
There was a crackling and popping sound, and the broken limbs rolled around, and black blood splattered on the dead grass and the gray stone in the night......
The living corpses that fell behind the queue were like ears of wheat harvested by a sickle, and they were brushed down in unison.
The sound of the machine guns was loud, and the fire was shining.
A large number of living corpses were attracted by the noise and turned to charge towards the southern ramp.
Tang Yan did not retreat, but advanced, walked out of the woodland, and walked steadily forward with the cannon, and the power armor was constantly lit up with the fire sprayed from the muzzle, reflecting the eyes of the soldiers of the Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment.
Many people stared blankly at the scene ahead, their eyes blinking and blinking, thinking they were dreaming.
Who would be in Gourd Valley at such a time?
The tall and mighty-looking power armor and the fierce-looking cannon were different from either the P-43 or the P-50, and they were definitely not their companions.
"Fire, keep fighting." The squad commander decided to abandon his original plan and ordered his men to hold their positions.
The firepower of machine guns is not comparable to weapons such as assault rifles and submachine guns, and the firepower is as strong as half an action team.
Machine-gun fire from the southern slope and sniper fire from the rocks formed a crossfire, causing a lot of damage to the living corpse groups in the valley.
A glowing zombie rushed up the south slope under the cover of many ordinary living corpses, but before it could get close to Tang Yan, it was knocked down by the dog meat that sprang out from the side, and with the swing and collision of limbs, one after another streams of green body fluids splashed into the air.
Sudden Sudden Sudden ......
Dada......
The sound of gunfire echoed across the battlefield, and the low roar of the living corpses thinned out.
When the last glowing corpse turned into an oil-leaking sieve under the constant bombardment of the machine gun, the Yunmeng mercenary group also eliminated the last few living corpses.
The gunfire eventually stopped, leaving only the thin smoke curling into the air and the fiery red of the muzzle quickly dissipating.
One of the four soldiers in P-43 power armor stepped out and walked to Tang Yan's location with the black blood flowing on the ground.
"Thank you for your help, what do you call it?"
"Tang Yan." Tang Yan did not hide his identity, after all, many people in the peninsula area had seen the power armor he was wearing, and the dog's jumping insect posture had also penetrated into the hearts of the residents of Gem City.
"Deputy Captain of the Pandaren Legion? Sure enough......" It can be seen from the other party's response that the Yunmeng mercenary group has long guessed his identity.
"Huh...... You're really well informed. Tang Yan pushed away the mask of the power armor of the Son of Keha, and said with a smile: "Haven't asked for advice yet?" ”
"Juniper, a first-class reserve officer of the Yunmeng Mercenary Regiment." As he said this, the man took off the P-43 power armor, revealing a cleanly groomed face behind him.
