The rover was able to turn in place after changing the steering method. However, this is simply not enough in front of the Artillery Beast.

After initially hitting the cannon, the Shooter remains in motion, keeping itself behind the Rover. As a result, the nose of the rover cannot be aimed at them at all.

Twelvemm air guns can't pierce their backs, and grenades are too slow for them to dodge. This caused Gou Cao to fight with them for half an hour, and he was never able to kill them.

However, with a strict position, there is no need to kill them in the first place.

"Meng Jie, do you know what is the maximum speed of this thing when it pursues its prey in a straight line?" Of course, the physical strength of the insect can't be enlarged in the same proportion after the body is enlarged, and Gou Cao feels that the speed of this thing should not be fast enough, but it still needs to be confirmed.

"I don't know, the data is not enough to be sure, but the highest speed of them in the current observation record was 40 kilometers per hour...... Although it doesn't sound fast, this insect has a strong ability to change speed, so this speed, combined with their excellent reaction speed, is enough to dodge bullets......" Meng Jie suddenly stopped halfway through speaking. It seems that he is aware of the problem.

Sure enough, Gou Ke secretly confirmed his inference in his heart, and at the same time silently despised such an important thing in his heart, this guy didn't say it earlier.

After seeing the terrifying power of the liquid sprayed by the artillery beast for the first time, Gou Ke was impressed, but he always had a problem in his heart that he couldn't figure out.

That is, those liquids are so corrosive, so strong that they can corrode even bones. If the spray is used for self-defense, of course, it is fine, but it is a bit difficult to use it for hunting.

Judging from the previous combat performance of the Artillery Beast, this thing's melee ability should not be weak, and it is completely possible to kill prey without using acid but just relying on its jaw and front paws. But they hunt with acid...... This is a bit suspicious. After all, if the prey meat is corroded by acid, what will the artillery beast eat?

Even if the acid does not completely corrode the prey, as long as the acid is used for predation, it will inevitably lead to a decrease in the amount of food hunted, which will lead to a decrease in energy intake. On the other hand, secreting this jet of liquid itself consumes additional energy.

This is not in line with the laws of biological evolution. This is because naturally occurring organisms must have evolved in a way that tends to consume less of their own energy in favor of more energy. Something like this that consumes more of his own energy and reduces the amount of energy he gets makes Gou Cao feel wrong in the first place.

This is the real world, and there is science in the real world. Even if the things encountered so far are bizarre, they are not beyond the scientific understanding of human beings. So there must be an explanation for this.

However, Gou Cao's conjecture was that the artillery beast itself was not fast enough, so it had to use a precisely controlled biological jet to deal with those high-speed prey. With such a large body size, the ratio of legs to body has hardly changed, and it is difficult for this small thin leg to run at high speed. So they compensate for their lack of speed due to their physiology by losing the amount of food they hunt. This leads to this phenomenon that doesn't seem right.

And Meng Jie's statement verifies this, the reason why there is no observation record faster than 40 kilometers per hour is probably just because the maximum speed of these insects is 40 kilometers per hour.

Gou Ke didn't know the details of these insects before, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he stayed until now. Now that you know this, you can finally get moving.

The first is to tell Cortana to modify the program of the nano-repair robots so that they cover the rover with a thin film of glass to resist the corrosive effects of the shooter's spray.

Then he took advantage of the chaos to turn the front of the car towards the exit, and after the previous rounds of maneuvering, the artillery beast really hid in the direction of the rear of the rover's car. But Gou Ke didn't continue to turn the car around this time to try to fight. Instead, an acceleration instruction was issued:

"Drive the core modulates the overload power, full speed ahead!"

Gou Ke was trapped by the Artillery Beast before because there was a Cannon Beast in front of him and a Ground Beast in the back, so he couldn't go on either side, but now that both were in the back of the car, the Rover easily asked for the dilemma,

The gunbeasts tried to catch up, but the rover barely managed to reach it when he first ran, and when the rover got up at speed, he was completely thrown away.

Since no one can beat anyone, then they will never get along...... Or wait until I can beat you. After escaping, Gou Cao's mood became better, so he began to ridicule in his heart.

It didn't take long for the underground passage to come to an end. The group returned to the light world, but it was already dusk outside, so the group quickly stayed away from here, and camped in a relatively hidden place in the wilderness at night.

The immediate priority now is to heal the wounded. The two medics, both of whom served as drivers and co-shooters in Wu Zhe's car, are now dead, so they can only be harsh. However, Gou Cao soon encountered some "difficulties".

"No, I want to accompany Lao Wu." The recruit in front of him, who looked much younger than himself, almost cried when he spoke. Gou Ke didn't expect Wu Zhe to be so popular among the recruits.

"Don't make trouble, I'll just watch it, you go down for me, don't make a mess." Meng Jie scolded.

"I said it, no one is allowed to be here, otherwise the injuries of the wounded will be affected, including you, Meng Jie." Gou Cao has a black line.

"Really? Everyone here has learned first aid in the field, and I can do the same. Meng Jie looked earnest.

"No, it's not good, for Wu Zhe's good, don't delay time." The matter of the medical cabin can't be known to others, so I have to use Wu Zhe as a shield first.

"Okay then......" Meng Jie and the other soldiers finally gave up.

As soon as the others got out of the car, Gou Cao immediately dragged Wu Zhe into the medical cabin. "Cortana, you watch him treat, but it's enough to recover his mobility, some obvious wounds are only deep enough, and you have to remember to put a few stitches on the surface......"

"Got it, I'll do a good job of camouflage, I'll inject them with hypnotic drugs during the treatment to be safe, and you can tell the others that they didn't have any serious injuries, but they just lost too much blood and had to sleep for a few days."

"And what about actually?"

"There were multiple penetrating wounds, some organs were shocked, and some fragments from the explosion were still in their bodies, and it was dangerous not to take them out."

"Got it, then these two people will ask you, I'll clean up the blood in the car."

Having said that, Gou Cao is now becoming more and more proficient in using subspace storage devices, and some dust and stains can be cleaned with the suction function of the subspace memory and then processed centrally, while not causing damage to the cleaned object at all. And this cleaning can be done at the molecular level. It couldn't have been more convenient.
