Chapter 167: The Cunning Prey
Yang Jun didn't say anything, just raised his head, looked at the position where the second squad leader was standing just now, thought about it, and then turned his head to Dong Jianlin beside him and said, "Old Dong, let's go to the top of the watchtower and have a look........."
Nodding, Dong Jianlin followed Yang Jun and walked towards the side gangway, from here to the watchtower is the best shortcut, far more convenient than turning left and right from the cabin.
The watchtower is located on the fourth level of the freighter, and people stand on the platform and look down, so they can see everything on the entire deck.
"Ah Jun........., where are the bodies of those two team members?" Dong Jianlin looked at the empty ground above the platform and said to Yang Jun puzzled.
Hearing this, Yang Jun looked around, pointed to a pile of black ash on the ground on the west side with his hand and said, "I think, maybe it's the remains of their corpses.........
On the ground to the west, two pools of black ash revealed the silhouettes of two curved humanoids, apparently the result of corrosion by strong acids.
"The two of them died so miserably, the soldiers of the special forces did not die on the front line and the battlefield, but died here, it is really not worth it............," Dong Jianlin muttered as he looked at the ashes on the ground.
Yang Jun sighed and said to him, "Alas......... Don't say any more about this, the two of us should quickly search the surroundings to see if there is anything left from them, and find the family members who brought it back to them, and have an explanation........."
Dong Jianlin nodded, said no more, and looked for Yang Jun separately.
However, the two men searched for a long time, but they found nothing but the two pools of burnt ashes and some broken metal fragments.
“*……! This bug is too fucking domineering, killing people and destroying things together, Ah Jun...... Did you see the weapons of both of them? Dong Jianlin searched for a long time and found nothing, so he couldn't help but scold.
Yang Jun shook his head, indicating that he didn't see it, and then walked over to the two pools of ashes, squatted down, and carefully observed the two ashes-like corpses that had been corroded by strong acid, so that he could find some clues and clues from them.
The two corpses were completely corroded, as if they were made by the alchemy furnace in the crematorium, and even the metal products and weapons and ammunition on their bodies were melted away, leaving only an inexplicable horror of human beings.
Seeing Yang Jun's heart chill, he secretly thought, all the strong acids at present can't completely corrode everything, but there is one thing that makes him puzzled, that is, why the iron plate under the two people is safe, how to explain this. After all, the iron plate is also made of metal, is it because the acidity of the strong acid can't reach the concentration of burning through the iron plate after corroding the person, it seems that only this explanation is convincing.
Dong Jianlin walked over, looked down at Yang Jun who was squatting on the ground in a daze, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
"It's nothing ......" Yang Jun replied to him, paused slightly, stood up and exhaled, and continued: "Old Dong...... It seems that it was a big mistake for us to let that bug run away, this may be some kind of reptilian creature from prehistory............" Yang Jun looked at the dark gray sea surface and said to Dong Jianlin with concern.
"Actually, everyone did their best just now, who would have expected that monster to have such hard leather armor, the gun in my hand was almost all shot out, and I couldn't do anything about it, I'm afraid that only by using rockets can it be killed............ Dong Jianlin said.
Yang Jun nodded without words.
He told the company commander Wang about what he saw on the watchtower.
Company Commander Wang waited for Yang Junshu to finish speaking, glanced at the two company commanders Tong and Zheng, slapped his thigh and said a dirty word: "His grandmother, now we have something to do, I see, no one plans to sleep peacefully at night........."
Company Commander Tong continued: "Xiao Deng, arrange Barrett on the watchtower, the line of sight there is better, and the high-power weapon should be used in the best position, only in this way can its absolute advantage be brought into play, Lao Wang, didn't you already blow off half of its head with that shot just now, and when it appears again, just report the other half as well............
Company Commander Wang listened to his words, smiled and said, "Alas! I didn't expect it to take that shot from me, and it didn't die......... What a fucking wicked......... By the way, now it's only half a head, it's unlikely to live long, maybe it's dead now, I don't think it has much chance of coming out again........."
Yang Jun sighed when he heard this and said, "Alas, .........! I hope that as you said, that reptile won't come out again to harm people.........," he paused and continued, "It stands to reason that a bullet in the head should not last long .........." ”
"Fuck, I can't imagine that this insect will actually use a living person as a backing and shield, it's not fucking simple, it's all fine, I see .........!" Dong Jianlin interjected.
When Company Commander Wang heard this, he continued: "That's right, if this insect really doesn't die or live, it will definitely make a comeback again, this is beyond doubt, so from now on, everyone must maintain a high level of vigilance 24 hours a day, and if you find its traces, you must immediately fire a warning shot......... If you let your guard down, you're kidding ......... your own life! ”
When they heard what he said, they all nodded yes.
Xu Jiandong walked in at this time, followed by the big man Lao Hu and the thin man.
"Ah Jun, Company Commander Wang, you are all here...... How's the situation out there? Was that monster killed? Xu Jiandong asked.
Company Commander Wang shook his head, sighed and said, "Alas......... Not at the moment. ”
Yang Jun took over at this time and said, "Brother Xu......... That's right, the monster outside is very difficult to deal with, not only is it fast, but the leather armor is also thick, ordinary bullets have no effect on it, and now the monster has escaped, and before escaping, it has killed two members of our ship's team and a squad leader.......... ”
"What?! You say three more comrades were killed......... What the hell is this weird thing, so hard to deal with?! Xu Jiandong asked in surprise.
Yang Jun said to Xu Jiandong: "From my personal point of view, this creature should belong to some kind of prehistoric marine giant beast, its appearance is a bit like a common centipede on land, with dozens of pairs of claws on both sides of the body, but the color and appearance of the body have changed somewhat............." ”
After listening to what Yang Jun said, Xu Jiandong said puzzledly: "It seems that there is really no wonder in the world, I didn't expect that I would encounter so many weird and terrifying things when I came out to play this time......... ”
At this time, the thin man suddenly said: "*.........! It's broken, what if that bug sneaks up on us again? Listen to what you mean, this guy can't even kill Barrett with a heavy sniper rifle, so isn't the weapon we have in our hands even more useless, it seems, unless we use rockets to deal with it, ............. ”
"Not necessarily as you said, I think everything in the world has its own mutual existence of things that exist in opposition to each other, just like a strong tank has rockets to deal with, but we have not yet found an effective way to deal with it, the lethality of bullets against it is limited, and pulse weapons cannot hurt it, so it seems that the only way to deal with it is to use flamethrowers......... I don't believe it's not even afraid of fire! Yang Jun expressed his opinion.
When Company Commander Wang heard this, he patted his thigh and said, "Okay! Just use a flamethrower, Jun is right, whatever the fuck is, the fire will all turn to ashes......... While using it, you must have a heavy weapon next to it to protect it from being attacked by that caterpillar, and besides, replace Barrett's armor-piercing bullet with an incendiary bomb, I don't believe you can't kill it! ”
Company Commander Tong, who had not spoken, spoke at this time: "I think the method that Yang Jun and Company Commander Wang said is feasible, everyone can use the above two weapons together, first of all, you must ensure the safety of your own people!" ”
"That's right, safety comes first, and the second thing is to find opportunities to destroy the enemy......... Do you still have any questions? When Company Commander Wang said this, he glanced at the people present, and saw that everyone shook their heads to say that there was no problem, so he continued: "If there is no problem, the meeting will be dismissed, who has a good suggestion to come to me in my lounge at any time after the meeting?" ”
Everyone said that there was no disagreement, so they went separately to prepare.
The tower below the mast is on the upper floor of the freighter, which belongs to the highest building, and people can stand on it condescendingly, and the field of vision and scope of observation are very broad, so Company Commander Wang specially sent three experienced veterans of the special forces to take on the vigilance task, and closely watch any wind and grass around the freighter, and the waves surge.
All three members of the team are equipped with a Barrett M82A1 anti-materiel heavy sniper rifle, twenty armor-piercing incendiary bombs, a squad light machine gun for fire suppression, although it can not be killed, it can temporarily reduce its action to the lowest point, and a Thor 2000 individual high-power flamethrower, this jet has a longer range than the conventional flamethrower, and the new chemical formula makes the firepower of this weapon more ferocious, the humidity can reach about 3000 degrees, and it can easily melt most metal products.
On the deck, bow, middle and stern of the Xinyun freighter, additional special forces were deployed to serve as guards, including two members armed with Raytheon 2000 flamethrowers for reinforcements.
Xu Jiandong and the big man Lao Hu all stayed in the cabin, for the sake of safety, Company Commander Wang did not let them take the liberty to go to the deck for a walk, which was very dangerous, even if there were those heavily armed special forces guarding outside, it was not necessarily foolproof. This is because the opponent is too strong to deal with.
Xinyun is in the vast ocean, cutting through the waves, and continues to move forward.
For the whole day, except for the special forces who were in charge of the guard duty outside, the rest of the people all hid in the cabin.
Some people sleep on the bunks, and those who can't sleep sit on them, some are playing cards in a few groups, and some people are chatting about the past of this life to pass the boring and boring time.
Xu Jiandong and the three of them got together to play poker, while Xiaoting and Xinyu watched from the sidelines.
From time to time, the loud quarrel between the big man Lao Hu and the thin man over playing the wrong cards broke the monotonous atmosphere of the space.
They started playing after lunch, and it wasn't until about six o'clock in the afternoon that the thin man threw the playing cards on the table and stretched a very exaggerated lazy waist, and Xiaoting hurriedly beat him up when he saw this.
The thin man smiled at her, turned his head to Xu Jiandong and the big man Lao Hu and said, "Hey! His grandmother's, no playing, no playing, playing for most of the day, her ass is almost sticking to the chair........."
"Isn't it a little hard for you kid to lose? If we don't lose the house and don't win the land, you're afraid of a fart, besides, can we have any other activities besides playing poker? The big man said as he put away the poker.
The thin man listened to him and said: "Then you can't always play this thing, no, I have to go outside to breathe, this day I am always stuffy in the house, the air is not good, and people can go crazy after a long time......... As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the cabin.
"Qiangzi......, bear with it a little longer, now everyone has this kind of thought, everyone wants to go out and let off steam, it's getting dark outside, if there is any emergency, it will often happen at this time." Xu Jiandong persuaded him.
The big man sneered and said in a low voice: "Leave him alone, Lao Xu, he is a master in the black belt of taekwondo, can he still be afraid of a caterpillar in it?" ”
When the thin man heard this, he turned his head and glared at him fiercely, and before he could find the words to deal with him, Xiao Ting on the side suddenly proposed: "Qiangzi ......!" You sit down first, I think it's okay, just like last time, each of us tells two stories to listen to, see who tells it well, and how about it is scary? ”
"I don't think it's necessary to tell horror stories, the black lights are blinding, and there are monsters outside, so it's better to tell jokes, and you can adjust your nervousness, what do you guys think?" Xinyu said at this time.
In fact, time is the most tiring thing, especially staying in one place, confined to it for a long time, it can really make people crazy.
Of course, the quality of the jokes told by everyone varied, some dizzy and some vegetarian, and almost everyone told them more than twice, and they did not serve the purpose of soothing their inner irritation.
"Lao Hu, do you want to ...... How about we go out for a walk together? The thin man was unwilling and began to string up the big man again.
