Chapter 16: In the Fire Cage
Time rewinds to the moment when Ren Wei realized that the monster was coming to town.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The explosion caused by the ignition of the gas station was deafening, and the flying flames ignited some other combustibles, and the fire grew, and from time to time smaller explosions occurred one after another.
But in a hurry, the flames caused by only a few explosion points were not able to be connected together to form an effective defense, and in many places where there was no ignition, huge monsters quickly penetrated deep into the interior of Green Town, and even on the roofs of some of the lower buildings, monsters could be seen jumping and rushing forward.
The people in the vicinity were shocked by this terrifying sight, and began to leave their luggage and flee for their lives, and soon a crowd of people fleeing.
Jeff's squad also fled desperately in the crowd, and as far as the eye could see behind their car, at least ten humanoid monsters were also moving in this direction. The monster continues to hunt and kill the inhabitants who fail to flee in time, and once it is successfully captured, the monster stays where it is, gulping its prey, but there are also several humanoid monsters that tear the captured inhabitants apart, munching on the broken limbs of the humans while continuing to drive the humans away.
Jeff's car was surrounded by people, he couldn't speed up the car at all, seeing the monster chasing closer and closer, in a hurry, Jeff gave an order through the intercom that he regretted for the rest of his life: "Listen to the car behind, at the intersection in front, use the car to form a defensive line, kill these monsters who are following us first, otherwise we won't be able to escape smoothly." ”
Subsequently, as the first car, Jeff parked the police car at the street first, and the police car that came after staggered half of the parking space and stuck it next to his car at a certain angle, and the three cars formed a "⌒" shape, and the other side leaned against the wall of a building, which could reduce the situation of being attacked by the enemy as much as possible.
After getting out of the car, Jeff and the others put their guns on the roof or front of the car, and seeing that their team members were ready for battle, Jeff gave an order, and ten machine guns spewed out tongues of fire at the same time. The fierce fire knocked the nearest monster backwards and turned over, but soon, the monster covered in bullets crawled up again, although it looked extremely miserable with blood, but it seemed to be more ferocious.
Jeff was taken aback when he saw this: with such dense firepower, if it hit a lion, it was estimated that the lion would die and could not die again, but the monster in front of him seemed to have received no damage.
Jeff was also not the only one who was also surprised, the others were also frightened by this scene, in the face of the monster that was still approaching, without Jeff's order, the rest of the police officers invariably pulled the trigger, and bullets fell on this monster like a rainstorm.
Under such a fierce blow, the monster tried to step forward several times, but could not advance an inch. A moment later, several bullets struck the monster's body, making a sound like crushing a rotten watermelon. At the same time, the monster let out a wail and fell to the ground.
Several of the officers couldn't hold back for a while, and continued to shoot at the monster's dead body until Jeff stopped shouting, and then stopped as if awakened.
Although he succeeded in killing a monster, fear also spread among the crowd: ten people had to kill a monster after almost using up the bullets in their magazines, and the life force of this monster was enough to make everyone fearful.
But before the police officers could decide to stay, the three monsters that were originally chasing the other crowds were attracted by the gunfire and turned their attention to them. As soon as they saw the monster rushing towards them in an encirclement, the two frightened police officers couldn't help themselves, and immediately shot at the monsters that rushed towards them, and led the people on their left and right sides to subconsciously fire together.
In this way, the firepower is dispersed a lot, and the bullets hitting the monster can no longer achieve the effect of stiffening the monster, and the monster that has been hit begins to dodge dexterously, so that the damage that the officers can give is weaker.
The three monsters approach the crowd in a zigzag pattern, and as the distance shortens, it is difficult for the monsters to easily avoid the bullets. One of the monsters was shot through the eye and into the brain by a stray bullet, and went berserk, waving bone spurs everywhere, first the bone spur on one of the claws pierced the door of one side of the police car used by the officers for defense, and the bone spur on the other forearm continued to poke out horizontally, lifting half of the face of a police officer who could not dodge; He then retracted his bone spurs and began to scratch around himself, even piercing a monster that was coming from behind him in the shoulder.
The humanoid monster that had been attacked by its own kind screamed in anger and pierced the head of the insane monster with the bone spurs on its other intact arm.
The monster whose head was hit by this blow instantly lost its mobility, its arms drooping, and its whole body was paralyzed. After the bone spurs were pulled out of its head, the unsupported monster fell to the ground with a bang, silent.
Seeing this scene, Jeff was inspired, and was just about to give orders to the others, when a huge shadow suddenly hung over him, and before Jeff could look up, the huge body of the third monster fell from the sky and stomped him flat. Blood and abdominal organs were squeezed out of the body and splattered onto the bodies of the surrounding police officers.
Before the others were aware of the fear of this scene, the monster that jumped into the defensive circle circled its arms and set off a circle of blood, and there was still flesh and skin flying in all directions.
The minds of the three surviving officers of this round of slaughter were blank, and all that was left was instinct to shoot mechanically, and even one of the policemen had no bullets in his gun, and he kept pulling the trigger with his finger.
The sparse sound of gunfire quickly faded away, leaving only the sound of monsters sucking flesh from bone spurs and gluttonous human stumps.
This moment of resistance gave many residents the opportunity to run further, but it is still unknown whether they will survive.
Because the escape continues.
Mork's group also didn't hear Avril's instructions, but they were clearly luckier than Jeff's group, as they detonated a gas station and retreated, they witnessed two monsters walking through the fire alive and making humanoid torches for more than ten minutes with gasoline on them. What's even more incredible is that during this period, the two monsters were able to capture humans for food.
Seeing the brutality and astonishing vitality of the monsters, Mock realized that if he tried to stop the monster at this time, he would definitely end up with a few more souls in Greentown.
So Mock made a quick decision, ordered no resistance, and evacuated at full speed. And in the process of retreating, Mok found that the car could no longer play a role in moving quickly in the flow of people, on the contrary, it had become a shackle to escape, and even because the target was huge, it was easier to attract monsters to attack, so he wisely commanded the crew to abandon the car and walk. At the same time, relying on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, they chose the path that was not convenient for the monsters to travel as the retreat route, plus they were only ten people, which was negligible compared to the huge flow of people composed of other fleeing residents, so there was no danger along the way, and Moke and the others successfully came to the location in the town.
"Captain, those monsters don't seem to be chasing in this direction anymore." After arriving in the town, he found that although it was also a scene of people turning over on their backs, the figure of the monster did not appear, so a police officer said with a little confusion.
"It's a little weird, but for whatever reason, at least we have time to recuperate." Mock tugged at the gun belt on his shoulder and looked at his colleague and said.
I saw that the police officers of the Moke group had already consumed a lot of physical strength in order to evacuate as soon as possible, and now if there is a battle, I am afraid that it will be worse than the previous combat effectiveness.
"Take advantage of this time for everyone to breathe a little easier, we are looking for a suitable means of transportation while walking, in such a dangerous time, there is no emergency, we must pay attention to conserving physical strength." Mock admonished.
"Captain......" one of the black cops stopped talking.
"What's wrong? Hassan? If you have something to say, you can say it directly! Mock asked.
"Well, I want to call my family." Said the policeman known as Hasen. "I wonder if they're safe now?"
"Didn't you call home when we started our mission?" Mork frowned slightly.
"Yes, yes, but now the situation seems to be out of control, and I'm worried about their current situation." Hassan replied with some nervousness.
"Since I have already called to inform my family that I have made preparations, and at the same time my place of residence is not located in the West District, most of them are not in much danger now, if you are worried, you can call, but you can't delay the journey, who else wants to call, call now, I don't want you to be distracted by other things in your mind in the future in addition to executing orders." After Mork finished speaking, he turned around and continued to move east, behind him, all the team members took out their mobile phones and followed one after another, and no one was left behind.
Mock led the team for a distance, did not find the abandoned vehicle, and was about to take some extraordinary means to obtain transportation, when his mobile phone rang, Mock took out his mobile phone and looked at the electricity, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Hey! Cal! Is that you? Mock asked.
"Mock, I knew you kid was definitely alive." There was some excitement from Karl's side. "Where are you?"
"186 Rolling Stone Avenue, across from Follison's Restaurant." Mock reported the position.
"Wait a minute, we'll be there in you in ten minutes." Carl said.
"Wait! Do you have a car? Mock asked, with a stir in his heart.
"There are two, a sedan, and an SUV." Carl replied.
"And can you get two more cars along the way?" Mock asked.
"How many more people are there over there?" Karl asked rhetorically.
"Ten of us." Mock told Karl about the number.
Karl was silent for a moment, then said to Mock, "I'll do my best." With that, the call ended.
Mock turned to his group and said, "Carl will be here to meet us soon, and he has a car, so let's wait for him here." ”
Most of the people listened with happy expressions on their faces, but there were also three police officers who looked very ugly because their phone calls to their families went unanswered.
Just as Mock was about to give the order to rest in place, he suddenly twitched his nose a few times, and a faint smell of gas entered his nostrils.
