After the battle, the convoy lined up and stopped on the side of the road. The armored vehicle attacked by the monitor lizard was damaged, not only the body was dented, but even half of the wheels and bearings were deformed. The wounded trapped in the car were removed from the car, and the interim medical officer Hillman and two male field nurses were in charge of caring for them. Including the driver, there were five wounded, and all four investigators were injured.

Luckily, it wasn't far from Dawn Fortress, and shortly after Billy reported the situation, Regional Commander Brian sent a team of Marines, a team of road engineers, a large tractor, and two field ambulances.

About half an hour later, engineers repaired the road and the protective fence on the side of the cliff, and ambulances took the wounded away. Iron Slag reassigned the scouts, and then had Marcus lead four Marines and a pilot to reconnoiter ahead, while Match, who had suffered minor injuries, remained in the team to recuperate. After the arrangements were made, the convoy set off again, heading towards Route 163.

After experiencing this incident, everyone experienced the danger of the bottomless abyss, and the atmosphere of the entire team became solemn in vain, even the cynical Hillman put away his smile and looked around a little more vigilantly.

At this time, the speed of the convoy had dropped significantly, and the original speed of about 80 kilometers per hour had dropped to more than 30, and at the same time, it had also shortened the safe distance between the large army and the reconnaissance personnel, just as an old saying in the Far East said: "Be careful to sail a ship of ten thousand years." "If the car hadn't been so fast just now, maybe the result would have been much better, and it was really frustrating to lose five players at once.

In this way, the convoy went all the way, and in the following time, it was surprisingly smooth, and there was no more danger or any unexpected incident.

However, when the convoy reached a fork in the road and turned into Highway 163 after more than ten hours, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

First of all, Highway 163 is a steep terrain with rocky areas between soft stone and dirt and rock, and the road is winding and winding to avoid the collapse point, and the height difference is large. Secondly, the road is unusually narrow, and in many places you can barely get to a truck, and even some corners must be driven close to the protective fence on the edge of the cliff, which is really terrifying, if you are not careful, you will fall into the endless void and turn into ashes. Thirdly, not only are there no street lights, but even the glow stones that can be found everywhere in the abyss are very rare, so they can only rely on the illumination of car lights. The co-pilot must stick his upper body out of the window and use a flashlight to assist in lighting and observing the terrain to provide real-time information to the driver. Looking out the car window at the deep and boundless darkness, nervousness and panic are the most natural feelings.

Fortunately, after entering Route 163, I have not encountered a situation where I can drive, otherwise it would have been worse. Reversing on a cliff with undulating terrain and narrow roads can be dangerous.

Here, the speed of the convoy has dropped to five kilometers per hour, which is almost the same as walking, and maybe even faster. They rested for two hours at a transit stop on Route 29 before entering Highway 163, but now it seems that they have been in a hurry. Billy, who was the guide, originally wanted to build a Commander to rest for a night before leaving, but when the words came to his lips, he was gently poked by Yudis, and when he noticed the commander's hurry, he swallowed the words back.

Every time he reaches a dangerous section, the iron slag will get out of the car and go to the front to check it out for himself. A few hours later, the convoy reached a narrow bend. Iron slag, as he had done several times before, came to the front and watched the truck slowly turn. But at this moment, a chaotic and high-pitched hissing sound came from far and near. The dense sound was like a deep sea wave, and in the blink of an eye, it formed an overwhelming momentum, piercing people's eardrums.

"Vampire bats! Get ready for battle! Iron slag reacted immediately, shouting loudly, while taking a picture of the alloy helmet, and turning on the infrared sight. According to the information in the college textbook, the abyssal vampire bat is a hot-blooded mammal with wings about 1.5 meters long, a body length of about 1 meter, and a weight of between 30 kg and 35 kg, which can be detected by infrared scanners.

At the moment when the lenses lit up, Iron Slag's vision was red, and he saw that in the void outside the cliff, dense and thousands of red flying shadows were rushing over, like a large area of burning clouds. Seeing such a scene, Iron Slag quickly jumped on the roof of an armored car behind him, pushed away the still stunned marines, turned the muzzle of the vehicle's Vulcan cannon, aimed it at the giant bats that were rushing into the sky, and pressed the trigger without hesitation.

"Sizzle......" With a thin screech, the twelve barrels of the Vulcan cannon spun at high speed.

In the next second, on the pitch-black cliff, tongues of fire erupted!

......"Dada

In an instant, one high-explosive warhead shot out, breaking through the high-density air, rubbing red and translucent, and shooting directly at the target with high-speed rotation, cutting through the flesh and blood, and shattering the brittle bones at the same time, the copper core in the warhead suddenly exploded.

"Twitter...... Twitter...... Twitter...... Twitter...... Twitter...... "Under the bombardment of the Vulcan cannon, the vampire bats wanted a pot of boiling water, and the terrible hiss echoed between the cliffs, around the ears, far away.......

As the slag fired, the Marines reacted, jumped out of the car, pulled the safety bolt, and half-crouched and fired wildly at the bat swarm. Suddenly, gunshots, roars, wails, and screams mingled through the world.

However, just after one round of shooting, the bats rushed to a distance of 100 meters, and in the next round of shooting, the bats had already rushed to the vicinity of the convoy, emitting sharp sound waves, and pounced one after another.

In an instant, there was a continuous stream of shouting, screaming, and scuffling on the mountain road. At the same time, on top of the armored car, a vampire bat was spreading its sharp claws on its wings and swooping down on the iron slag from the shot. The angle of this bat is very tricky, and the angle of its attack is exactly the blind spot of this human's vision. The next moment, its claws will slice open the body of its prey, and its fangs will drink blood. However, its seemingly ferocious and swift bite resembles a slow-motion flying sandbag in the eyes of its prey.

The corner of Iron Slag's eyes swept to the black shadow that was about to reach him, and he immediately turned around and punched the vampire bat's head. The latter suddenly shot straight to the rear like a cannonball, and after killing dozens of his companions in a row, he fell into the abyss with blood spurting from his mouth and nose. Seeing that there were more and more bats close to him, Tie Slag asked the marines on his side to take over the Vulcan Cannon, and he waved his fists and played the ancient martial arts-Baji Boxing.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

In a series of muffled sounds, the giant bats that pounced on them flew upside down like sandbags, and like bowling balls, they knocked over a large group of companions behind them, and then fell into the abyss with them. However, although these vampire bats are not strong, they are extremely numerous, and they are fierce by nature, and they are not afraid of death, and they pounce on the convoy in the face of a rain of bullets.

As soon as the confrontation began, one of the Marines was caught off guard and fell to the ground by an oncoming vampire bat. Before he could struggle to get up, he was crushed back by the swarm of bats that followed. In the blink of an eye, the protective suit on his body was bitten and riddled with holes, and he was covered in blood, and he couldn't survive. Another soldier, desperately holding a vampire bat by its neck, rolled and wrestled on the ground before both sliding off the cliff. Fortunately, Jerome, porcupine and other power-armored warriors are extraordinary, and they stopped most of the vampire bats on the front line and kicked them into the abyss, otherwise the battle situation would only be more severe.

In the middle of the battle, a vampire bat circled to the rear, took advantage of the iron slag to open its bow left and right, and just knocked the gap between the two companions, opened its shiny fangs, and bit at his neck.

"Click!" There was a crackling sound, and a bright spark slashed across the back of the iron slag's neck. The vampire bat bit the back of his neck as it wished, but instead of tasting the blood, it broke off four of its sharpest fangs. The teeth of the abyssal vampire bats are comparable to diamonds, the bite force is comparable to that of a crocodile, and even a thick steel plate can also drag out a few deep marks. However, it bit on the back of the human's neck, but it didn't move, and it didn't even bite out a scratch before it broke its teeth.

In the face of this uninvited guest, the iron slag grabbed it, grabbed the wings with one hand, pulled the hind legs with the other, and then pulled it hard! I only heard a cracking sound, and before the vampire bat could make a mournful roar, it spewed out a large cloud of blood mist and was torn in two. Immediately after, the iron slag leaned back and smashed the remains of his hand out like a ball.

"Puff puff puff......" In the midst of several muffled sounds, seven or eight more big bats were smashed and fell into the abyss. Taking advantage of a moment's respite, Iron Slag glanced around the battlefield, only to find that there were more and more vampire bats pounced into the mountain pass, and the marines and logistics team members were struggling to support it, and the battle situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Although he was in a semi-invincible state, he could never stop the huge swarm of vampire bats, and even if he could be unscathed, he would not be able to save so many team members.

"Roar!"

Just as he was worried, a scream suddenly came from the bleak abyss, and the roar was from bottom to top, at first it was like a power armor sweeping through the sky, and then it was like several mecha jumping into the air at the same time, and then it was like dozens of flying machines taking off at the same time, and hundreds of jet bags and fuel thrusters erupted at the same time.

The iron slag on the edge of the cliff was deaf in an instant, as if the whole world had gone to sound. At the same time that he lost his hearing, his brain felt as if he had been pierced by thousands of steel needles, his hairs stood on end in pain, his blood pressure soared, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and the sides of his temples were even more bruised.

With this earth-shattering roar, a majestic air flow erupted violently, like a steam blowout, and immediately swept the bats in mid-air to pieces.

At the same time, an indescribable feeling of suffocation came from the deepest part of his soul, and even the iron slag of life and death felt a cold fear at this moment, and he bared his teeth, tensed his body, and trembled all over, as if he had fallen into boundless despair. It is a reaction that comes from the instinct of a living being, the fear and depression that arises when faced with an irresistible disaster, or when faced with a creature that is large and several times its size.
