Chapter 34: Heavy losses
Looking through the leaky glass of the warehouse, a dozen or so men were more than two meters tall, with thick arms and legs, a few vertical whiskers on their bare heads, and two claw-like hands holding something like a gun.
More than a dozen people shouted, already alarming the alien creatures, and staggered towards the warehouse.
Li Qinglong and Lily of the Valley also walked up from the stairs below and scolded: "Don't shout, you don't want to live anymore, you're still chasing after you...... I'll go, what's this thing? ”
Li Qinglong couldn't say the last half of the sentence, and the dozen or so alien creatures were already about to walk into the warehouse.
"What now?" Chu Tianming held the gun and asked at the door of the warehouse, he has no confidence now, can he deal with the gun in his hand.
"What else can I do, them!" Li Qinglong was in a hurry, there were chasing soldiers behind him, and so many unknown creatures appeared in front of him, there were wolves in front and tigers in the back! If he hadn't pushed those mercenary squads out to block them, he might not have been able to get out now.
Chu Tianming glanced at Li Qinglong, although he didn't know what he encountered in the passage or in that reservoir area, but from his nervous expression, he could see that it must be something that people couldn't deal with.
Lily of the valley opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but then she heard a "bang", and a fire came out of the crowd of the other team.
Chu Tianming was also attracted by the firelight and turned his head to look. It turned out that the members of the squad couldn't resist the pressure and shot after hearing Li Qinglong's words.
The bullet flew in front of the alien creatures in an instant, and in front of them it seemed to hit a wall, causing a white light, as if pulling up an arc of electricity.
"This ......" is not only the person who shot it, but even Li Qinglong, Lily of the Valley, Chu Tianming and others are dumbfounded.
It's clear that on the outside of the alien creature, there is something like a protective shield, which can block the bullets fired by humans.
Chu Tianming no longer hesitated, and also raised his gun to aim and fired a shot. His shot was much more accurate than the man just now, and it was completely aimed at the other person's head.
However, the result was the same, and an electric arc flashed where the bullet hit, and the bullet bounced away. And their two tentative attacks completely angered the dozen or so alien creatures, and they all let out an unknown cry and rushed forward frantically.
Chu Tianming gritted his teeth, they had no way out, and the one blocking the road behind them didn't know what it was!
At this time, more than a dozen people ran up from under the stairs, and the stairs with armored feet creaked, and they wanted to trample the stairs to pieces.
As soon as these more than a dozen people came up, they opened their throats and scolded: "Li Qinglong, you don't cheat people like this...... Ah, what is this? ”
Halfway through their scolding, they saw the monsters rushing towards them, and they couldn't help but stop their mouths and look at them in amazement.
"You can scold as you like, no one can run away today anyway!" Li Qinglong said as he twitched his hand, "Those missing people are definitely either related to the monsters below, or related to these monsters." ”
"Now is not the time to talk about that nonsense, hurry up and find a way to leave, otherwise you really won't be able to leave!" Lily of the valley also showed a hint of anxiety, whether it was these monsters on the ground or the monster in Li Qinglong's mouth, it was obvious that they could not compete with it.
"What else can you do, run!" One of the people who had just come out shouted and ran towards the side of the warehouse with a few people.
The walls of the warehouse had collapsed in many places, and although it was difficult to move, there were still gaps that allowed them to escape.
As soon as they ran away, someone from the mercenary squad on Chu Tianming's side immediately followed.
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and the man who ran behind him fell to the ground with convulsions as if he had been electrocuted, still rolling his eyes and twitching on the ground.
Then there was one white light after another shooting towards the fleeing crowd, only a few captain-level mercenaries, who managed to dodge the white light with difficulty, and the others had already fallen to the ground and convulsed.
However, with such a delay, their chance to escape was gone, and the alien creatures had already run up.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Chu Tianming was surprised, "It seems to be an electric current?" ”
"Never mind what it is, now you have to fight hard!" Jiang Yuan was more decisive than the others, and he was about to rush forward when he pulled out the alloy knife.
"Dodge the attack!" Chu Tianming also replaced the gun with a knife and rushed forward.
The armor "clattered" into the ground, and the alien creatures on the opposite side continued to shoot white light, and everyone dodged extremely carefully.
Lily of the valley waved her hand and said, "Let's go too!" ”
The members of the garrison also held their knives and rushed towards the alien creatures, and Lily of the Valley held a gun in her hand and fired a shot as she rushed.
Her gun was completely the power of the cannon, and a thick burst of fire rushed out, and a fireball-like thing suddenly smashed on a strange creature that couldn't dodge, or it was possible that the other party didn't bother to dodge.
The xenomorph's body glowed with more white-white light, keeping out the cannonball-like bullets, but his body took two steps back.
Chu Tianming and the others had already rushed to the front of the alien creature, and saw the opportunity to swing it away, and the white electric light rose again, bouncing the alloy knife away. Chu Tianming only felt that his arm was numb, and the reaction force was too great.
The rest of the mercenary squads also had those who wanted to escape, and some who rushed forward desperately. Li Qinglong's team didn't run, he just watched for a while, and then rushed forward with the team.
Li Qinglong also knows that if you don't work hard today, you have to work hard. If he took advantage of this opportunity to escape, even if he fled back to the base, then the base would not have a foothold for him Li Qinglong in the future!
Chu Tianming shook his sour arm, this reaction force was more ruthless and greater than Li Qinglong's punch. He temporarily handed the knife to his left hand, then rushed again.
An alien creature is fighting other mercenaries, and the way they fight is simply and rough, relying on their own protective equipment, carrying the attack, and then shooting at the attacker.
After a while, more than two dozen people were shot by guns, convulsed and rolled to the ground.
Chu Tianming quickly circled around the back of the alien creature, and then slashed at the back.
What he didn't expect was that this knife actually worked. The sharp alloy knife slashed hard at the opponent's back, but there was no electric flash, and the alien creature juice was splashed directly, screaming again and again.
Chu Tianming didn't give him a chance at all, he drew his knife and slashed again, and the alien creature knelt on the ground and screamed. Chu Tianming understood now, these alien creatures only had that protective shield on the surface, and it was only the front, and the inside was completely the same organism as humans, flesh and blood.
"Attack them in the back, there is no shield in the back!" Chu Tianming shouted at the others, and his body suddenly rushed to the side, dodging a flash of lightning.
When the others heard the shouts, they all began to look for an opportunity to attack the backs of the alien creatures, but how could the alien creatures give them this opportunity.
As a last resort, everyone can only divide and cooperate, someone attracts and entangles them head-on, and then someone knocks them down from behind.
However, in this way, the loss of personnel is somewhat heavy.
It took a full hour for everyone to work together to cut down all the alien creatures. Chu Tianming wiped his exposed face, looked around and found that there were already many members of the mercenary team and members of the garrison lying on the ground.
Chu Tianming looked left and right, looking for the members of his team, and suddenly saw Jiang Yuan's figure next to a pile of collapsed waste.
"Captain!" Chu Tianming ran over, only to see that Jiang Yuan's armor had been scorched black, and even his body had become black.
Jiang Yuan opened his eyes weakly, looked at Chu Tianming and smiled, his eyes were crooked, and he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he didn't have that strength anymore.
Chu Tianming's heart twitched, the electric light emitted by the alien creature's gun was so powerful, which he didn't expect.
Looking at Jiang Yuan's appearance, several more team members came over one after another, and now only Lao Pi Sun Li and a few other team members were left standing. Even Andrew, who has always been brave, was already lying on the ground, almost exactly the same as Jiang Yuan.
"Team...... Captain! Chu Tian screamed, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
For a while, there were calls and suppressed cries in many places in the warehouse. Lily of the valley also looked at her team members, and more than half of them also fell to the ground, and they were all silent.
"We ...... Time to go! "If that monster from below rushes up again, we can't deal with it." ”
Chu Tianming was unmoved, and Li Qinglong snorted behind him: "If they want to die, let them stay, let's leave quickly!" To be a mercenary, you must have the consciousness of being a mercenary, and they are already lucky to be able to die on the battlefield! ”
Chu Tianming's heart trembled, although Li Qinglong was mean, what he said was also the truth. It's much luckier to be a mercenary and die in battle than those who are stuck in a base or a survivor colony, who can only starve to death or be eaten by mutants.
Chu Tianming stood up, glanced at the others, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!" ”
There are too many corpses for them to take away, and even if they take the base, they won't let them in. As for the armor on them, it has been completely damaged and has lost its value for reuse.
Lily of the valley commands the surviving members of the garrison to pick up the weapons of the alien creatures scattered on the ground and prepare to bring them back to the base.
These things may be of great use in the future.
