Chapter 20: Encounter with an army of pterodactyl monsters
The monsters in the fog can ignore the obstruction of the dense fog's vision, and according to Ling Yi's experiment, it is found that once the monster is out of the fog, both its action and strength will be weakened to a certain extent.
In addition, the fog itself is also a direction worth studying, the rich white fog will not dissipate even if it is brought back indoors in a glass bottle, which means that the fog itself is not affected by temperature and environment, just like the air on the earth.
Ling Hao thought that the monsters in the fog might live on the mist, maybe it was the "oxygen" of the alien planet, but now Ling Hao lacked research equipment and personnel, and the composition of the fog was unknown.
Another interesting phenomenon is that the fog that is contained in the jar cannot be contained in the space, and it cannot be carried alive for storage according to the instructions of the main god.
The main god's hint was undoubtedly telling Ling Hao that the mist itself might be a living thing, rather than simply similar to an ordinary mist on earth.
Because Ling Hao and his party had all been in contact with the mist, and they had inhaled it more or less, but according to the hint of the Red Queen, Ling Hao's body had not changed now, and David and the others did not feel abnormal.
However, for safety reasons, everyone who leaves the car must now wear a gas mask, and even if the fog is not poisonous, there is no guarantee that there will be monsters that can release poison gas.
"Ling, can you tell me who you are?" In the car, David eventually raised his own questions.
Ling Hao told them that he belonged to a special department in the world, and he came specifically for this fog incident, although there were many loopholes in the excuse, but David and the others still chose to believe it.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, you should put away your curiosity now, and then we will go to the base of Project Arrow, and before that I need you to pick your weapons, because we may encounter any danger then." Ling Hao naturally won't be a nanny, and now everyone must become a fighting force.
The two soldiers carried a large box over, and after Ling Hao opened the box, there were more than a dozen sets of communication equipment inside, and then he stood up and pulled a vertical cabinet on the interior wall of the car open, and suddenly more than a dozen standard rifles of clone soldiers appeared in front of him.
"Pick one each, the magazine is in the box below, the bullets are on the other side, and there are pistols and tactical suits in the cabinet next door, I'm sorry it's all one size, but fortunately you can adjust it after wearing it." After speaking, Ling Hao chose a rifle, then took a few magazines and began to press the bullets.
Everyone has never seen such a high-end weapon, not only the appearance but also the weight is very light, Amanda can easily pick one up, Ollie is even more eye-catching when he sees these guns, you must know that he is a firearms enthusiast.
After each received a complete set of equipment, one of the clone soldiers began to teach them how to use the operation, but Ling Hao did not equip the three American soldiers with any weapons, and did not give them a single bullet except for a set of communication equipment.
Because Ling Hao was not sure if there were any U.S. troops in the Red Arrow base, if these three people encountered their own troops, there was a high chance that they would turn back, so for the sake of safety, they just had to be good guides.
The road to the Red Arrow base is not easy to walk, because the road is very rugged in the mountains, but fortunately, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of the US military's own vehicles, the roads here have been expanded, otherwise it may not be possible to reach the destination with the width of the armored vehicle.
"There's a checkpoint up front, and usually there's a platoon there." Looking at the electronic screen in the car, an American soldier reminded.
They were amazed to find that the screen in the car could automatically scan the road under the dense fog outside, even if the road could not be seen by the naked eye, it could be clearly seen here.
However, when the vehicle reached the level, no one was found, only bullet casings and weapons and equipment all over the ground, and it was obvious that everyone here had been wiped out by monsters.
"Rush through the checkpoint! Let car number two keep an eye on the rear! Ling Hao felt a threat approaching, which was the original response of the T virus in his body.
Along the way, the convoy encountered monsters of all sizes and were all destroyed, but they never encountered a level above ten meters, which made Ling Hao feel that something was wrong.
"Report! The radar detected a large creature moving 300 meters in front of you! ”
The distance of 300 meters has exceeded the imaging distance of the scanning display, and now only a large red dot can be seen on the radar, as for how big this monster is, I can only rely on my own imagination.
"Turn off the engine!! Turn off the lights!! Ling Hao decisively gave an order.
"What's going on?" David saw Ling Hao's serious expression and knew that something must have happened.
"An unknown creature has appeared in front of us on the right, probably at the level of 100 meters!" Ling Hao said that 100 meters is also a conservative estimate.
"The other party is moving?" David asked, frowning.
"Yes, we're approaching us, so we'd better not make a fuss now, so as not to attract attention."
Hearing Ling Hao's answer, David felt more and more that something was wrong, "It's not right!! Insult!!! David exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Looking at David with a frightened face, Ling Hao didn't know what was wrong with the other party.
"A 100-meter monster!! They could feel them move half a mile away, why was it so quiet now! David thinks this is absolutely unusual.
After Ling Hao was reminded by David, he suddenly realized that this place was unusual, even if the other party was lying on the ground and moving a little, it was impossible for him to move at all.
"Ling Yi! Four rocket point salvos according to the coordinates indicated by the radar! The order was given, and Ling Hao stared at the radar screen.
Four rockets were fired from the roofs of the two vehicles, and soon the rockets that had been submerged in the fog were fired at the target, but strangely no explosions were heard, and the radar showed four small dots passing through the larger dot.
Soon four rockets exploded a mile from the target, and the other side was still walking towards them.
"Quick! Put down the gripper!! Anchor the ground towards the roadbed!! Ling Hao quickly guessed what the other party was!
In less than a few seconds, the two armored vehicles were firmly nailed to the road, and the weight of the original body of more than 80 tons was completely doubled at this time.
"Boss, what do you think it will be?" Seeing Ling Hao give the order so decisively, Ling on the side asked.
"Pterodactyl! Due to the special setting of the rocket fuse that cannot be detonated on this kind of monster, the 100-meter-level red dot displayed by the radar must be formed by thousands of pterosaur monsters together! In fact, Ling Hao's analysis was correct.
Soon there was a "bang, bang" impact sound outside the armored car, although the size of the pterosaur monster was very small, but it could not support the huge number of opponents, if the opponent continued to hit while driving, it was very likely that an accident would occur.
The various imaging instruments and probes outside the armored vehicle have also been automatically put into the storage box, and if these things are damaged, then they can only see the road with the naked eye.
The attack of the pterosaur monster lasted for more than half an hour, and the people in the car were so distraught that Ling Hao swore that he would install the soundproofing device in the car next time he went back.
Seeing that they could not do any damage to the two iron bumps, the other pterodactyl monsters abandoned their targets, and the armored vehicle was now littered with corpses, and red and green liquid smeared the surface of the car.
"Keep going! Get out of here! "There are thousands of pterosaur monsters dead here, and God knows if it will attract other monsters to dine, so we must leave this place immediately.
