Chapter 138 - A New Underground Crisis
The 12.7mm heavy machine gun on the remote-controlled weapon station continued to fire at the black shadows that were constantly jumping behind Zhou Zhiyuan, while Xie Dongcheng and Fang Xuan, who had already climbed out of the car and were standing on the roof of the car, raised the guns in their hands and kept shooting forward through the holographic scope.
The scene was constantly filled with the sound of assault rifle and heavy machine gun fire, the sound of metal hitting bullet casings falling on armored vehicles, and the sound of brittle bones and flesh cracking, while the three men in front fought and retreated, while the armor in the rear kept moving forward.
This quick battle ended in less than 20 seconds, and the ground was full of large and small round-looking earth-like heads, as well as bodies with sturdy short limbs and flat tails scattered all over the ground.
After getting out of the car, Zhang Hongda said in surprise when he saw this: "My God, look at this volume, if you don't count the tail, it is more than one meter, this is a vole?" Squirrel? Or a guinea pig? ”
Zhou Zhiyuan glanced at him and shook his head and said, "Who knows what kind of rat this is, I haven't seen any kind of rat with this kind of tail."
Xie Dongcheng thought for a while and said uncertainly: "It looks like a beaver that is the same rodent as rats, and it is a protected animal that can only be seen in some river areas in the northwest of China."
Suddenly, several female teammates floated past everyone's side like the wind, Xu Weien waved his hand without looking back and said: "A few big men, you have to work harder, let's go back to the car to help you watch it first, and I'll leave the matter of collecting evidence to you!"
It turned out that the three girls had already hid back in the armored car after seeing that the creature they had just fought with them was a mouse, which is also human nature, as a daughter's family, it is already very good that she did not flee the battlefield, and such a disgusting place is still left to the man to deal with.
So one of the three female team members sat in the driver's seat, one was in the observer's seat, and the other was operating the remote control weapon station.
"It's strange, I haven't seen them disgusting in any way that the humanoid living corpses are rotten, how can they change to this long-haired thing and run away"
Zhang Hongda said inexplicably
Zhou Zhiyuan slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette and said: "If a woman is reasonable, then she is not called a woman."
Xie Dongcheng, who temporarily acted as a biologist on the team, rummaged through the corpses scattered on the ground, and Liu Jianzi and Zhang Hongda were responsible for the dynamic video recording of Xie Dongcheng's explanation, and the other was to take static key photos for use after the military established a scientific research center in the future, and on the other hand, it was also a warning for the military.
Xie Dongcheng said: "I have seen the characteristics on most of the corpses, and the most obvious difference from ordinary rats is that in addition to the huge increase in size, there are also a few points that their eyes are dark reddish-purple, there are webs like duck paws between their claws, and the end of their tails is flat like oars, very similar to aquatic animals."
Zhou Zhiyuan asked suspiciously: "According to what you say, these strange rats are very suitable for activities in the water after mutation?" How can that ambush us in this wild land? ”
Xie Dongcheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, but judging from the cave knot where they used to hide and the things left behind, this group should be the voles that were caught and roasted in the countryside before, and we should have crashed into their grain storage ground."
Zhang Hongda exclaimed: "Vole!? In the past, if you didn't clean it up in the countryside, you could quickly grow a big nest, and it ate a lot of food, and it could gnaw up a large field at every turn."
Zhou Zhiyuan sighed and said: "The previous military news said that there was a flock of seabirds on the seaside, as long as it was something flying in the air, they would attack in groups, and it was not clear whether they would attack the creatures moving on the ground, and now there is a kind of big rat hiding under the ground with strong aggression, and the space for our human beings to live is getting narrower and narrower."
Liu Jianzi said in a deep voice: "In the future, the risk of the fixed patrol team at the base will increase again, and I think that as long as those people in the defense army encounter a frightened fart and cry and beg to go back to farming, we must quickly transmit the news back to the military."
Xie Dongcheng said: "However, in terms of the relationship between eating and being eaten in the biological chain, their natural enemies may also have a certain degree of mutation, you see that the snow blade is still the natural enemy of these big voles, but I hope that the top creatures of the emerging biological chain dare not say that they are close to humans, at least do not take the initiative to hunt humans."
Zhang Hongda said nervously: "I think we should hurry up, I'm really worried about whether there will be any more situations over there."
Zhou Zhiyuan glanced at him and said, "You really have a dinosaur-like nerve conduction speed, I thought you didn't worry about anything!" Don't worry, let's not say that we haven't determined whether your family is in that camp yet, even if there are armed drones over the camp now, okay, let's get in the car and go."
After the group returned to the armored car, the car made a turn and returned to the provincial road, heading towards the coast.
Zhou Zhiyuan sent the information of the mutant vole compiled by Xie Dongcheng and the three of them to the base through the military satellite data link, which remarked the team members' concerns and opinions about this mutant creature in addition to the battle process, nest structure, and physical characteristics.
Zhou Zhiyuan dialed Zeng Weizhong's satellite phone and said, "Have you finished reading the image data I sent back?" ”
Zeng Weizhong sighed: "After reading it, the patrol establishment has added a post to explore the underground caves, so the minimum number of tasks now is a group of 4 people, otherwise the casualty rate in the field or in the previous living area is too high."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "I think you still don't want to be lazy, the military regime is in your hands, saying that you have time to take care of the system well, and now the outside is changing so fast, I am worried that you will not have the idea of rectifying it in the future."
Zeng Weizhong said: "I'm already dealing with it, don't worry!" By the way, the communication in that camp has lost power for 1 hour, before the communication was interrupted, I ordered them to stand by, I will send the last position of the signal to you later, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, I think you should hurry up."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "Well, I know, if I don't encounter anything strange on the way, I should be able to reach the destination of the mission before dusk today."
Zeng Weizhong said: "Okay, then I wish you good luck, I will go and discuss with the officers the response plan of the mutant vole, I hope they will not be too stimulated by the blow"
Zhou Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Okay, you are busy first, don't forget to take care of your body!" You don't have the constitution we have, and medicine is more precious than food now."
After putting away the satellite phone, Zhou Zhiyuan said to everyone: "You all heard it, let's quickly find out the road so that the military can send a car to pick up these survivors and Xu Changshan and the members of their Sea Tiger Reconnaissance Team, the safety of moving in the field now is even higher than the previous battlefield!"
After listening to Liu Jianyu, he increased the force on the accelerator, and everyone felt the feeling of sticking to the back brought by the acceleration, judging from Liu Jianyu's driving action, his psychology was also very anxious, after all, it was his family that was waiting in front of him.
