Chapter 238: Night of the Monitor Lizard
The white fierce gaze made Jiang Wen and the others feel a chill under their feet.
They had even made all kinds of assumptions in advance, but they didn't expect to deviate from the established parachute landing site, let alone encounter this group of meat-eating reptiles.
Finally, until the last leg of the race, the group did not dare to relax their tense nerves.
A few people boldly turned their heads to look in the direction of the poplar forest, and the group of huge lizards was crawling very fast, and it was not far from them.
Jiang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said with palpitations: "As long as you have weapons and equipment, you will be safe." ”
Suddenly, the ground shook violently.
Wu Min hurriedly shouted at the soldiers: "Hurry, hurry, quickly pick up the equipment and use the flamethrower to block them." ”
At this moment, a little slackness means death.
She didn't know what kind of power and ferocity this creature escaped from the ancient tomb, but her instinct to survive in danger had supported her for many years.
Subconsciously tell yourself that all dead things, or "living things" that come out of the shadows, must be fierce and abnormal.
A few high-powered searchlights flashed over, and the full picture of this terrifying reptile was displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
To the naked eye, the thick and powerful limbs, each with five toes, and the webs made of skin are divided into two groups, the outer three toes and the inner two toes of the hind limbs, and vice versa, the forelimbs are the opposite, which effectively increases the surface area of the body and prevents them from falling into the mud and sand, and at the same time gives them excellent and rapid running speed.
They are a silent species, unable to make noise, and will only cause vibrations when they step on the ground when moving massively.
The predation mode is waiting or group searching, and it is mostly active between twilight and dawn.
Now, they staggered across the sand in groups, their powerful upper and lower jaws intertwining, dropping sticky saliva.
Some in the team remembered the Komodo dragon they had seen on a mission in Indonesia's Lesser Sunda Islands, the largest known lizard, with an average length of about 2 to 3 meters and weighing more than 90 kilograms.
Komodo dragons are ferocious, and adults eat the juveniles of their own kind and sometimes other adults.
Able to move quickly, occasionally attacking humans, but mainly feeds on carrion.
But compared to the monitor lizard with a body of ten meters in front of it, the Komodo dragon is like a child who has not grown up.
The soldiers were well-trained and equipped with their weapons, and they quickly reloaded their magazines.
The number of flamethrowers is limited, and only twenty people are currently equipped with this weapon.
Near, near, they were too numerous, and individual soldiers looked at the fierce and ferocious faces of the monitor lizards, and their hands were already shaking.
The full outline of the creature was clearly displayed in the helmet display, and everyone was holding a cold sweat in their palms.
Their size is too large, and the difference in shape brings a heavy sense of oppression, and strong psychological fear falls in the heart.
Wu Min instantly reacted from his astonishment and hurriedly ordered: "Collectively aim at the target and fire!" ”
Strafing is blind and has no specific target, because what is coming is a horrific number of behemoths, sweeping all over the world, and there are targets everywhere!
Caper! Marching!
The strong musculature gave the lizards the ability to jump, and the distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters, and they chose to jump forward.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was black and oppressive, and the flying monitor lizard rushed at high speed to the air at a height of twenty meters.
After reaching the commanding heights, it turned to an arc to make a falling motion and landed rapidly.
Wu Min's eyes were like torches, his body tightened in vain, and he shouted: "Quick, flame hand, spray flames into the air!" ”
Suddenly, the scene was chaotic, and the shouts of fear continued.
Some people began to shoot vertically into the sky with their guns, some people were still paying attention to the monitor lizards running on the ground, and some people were holding flame guns and sliding back and forth diagonally above to spray.
It's over, it's over, it's all over.
Jiang Wen's eyes were dilated, his eyes were dull, and he kept muttering to himself.
The Sun Tomb has not yet been found, the whole mission has not yet begun, and the entire biochemical combat force is probably about to be lost here.
In a quarter of an hour, the monitor lizard broke through the fire line formed by the dense fire of the soldiers, and the "parachute troops" fell into the crowd.
A monitor lizard spit out a wide fat tongue and crossed more than ten meters violently, accurately wrapping around a soldier.
With a strong pull, the soldier was dragged to the edge of his mouth, and his upper and lower jaws opened and then closed.
The sharp teeth instantly sank into the soldier's body in protective clothing, and blood splattered everywhere.
Blood trickles down the ground, inky black, monitor lizards are venomous, they are a venomous creature!
There are folds on the inside of the lower jaw teeth to draw out venom. I saw that the soldier had only struggled for a short time and was already paralyzed and no longer moving.
Jiang Wen was frightened and shouted: "Quickly block them, block them!" ”
Wu Min smiled bitterly and decisively ordered: "Run, don't look back, retreat quickly!" ”
As if amnesty, everyone threw down their heavy equipment, and even more eager to take off the chemical protective clothing that hindered the movement and ran naked on the desert.
Wu Min didn't care about etiquette, grabbed Jiang Wen's clothes, and said viciously: "Don't be stunned, if you don't want to die, run away." ”
With sunrise less than an hour away, there may be hope for holding on until the moment of sunrise as long as you keep a certain distance from this group of things.
Wu Min will never give up a chance to survive, but will the sky of Lop Nur really bloom in an hour?
According to the data she hastily studied, the climate under this sky was cloudy and sunny, and there was no law between day and night!
Meat! The smell of blood! The screams of helplessness came from the mouth of the monitor lizard, and they quickly disappeared to find the trace.
The poisonous venom captured the will of the soldiers in a matter of seconds, and the pain didn't last long.
Hearing the sound, the people who fled for their lives felt as if they were being chewed on their own flesh and skin.
"Bang!"
A powerful explosion came from behind, followed by a wave of heat and dust.
"Miniature shoulder-fired rocket launchers!" Wu Min recognized the sound of this weapon.
The same team that had rushed to another location to pick up the equipment box arrived in time to help, and a team of dozens of people carried modified shoulder-fired rocket launchers to attack the wild bloodthirsty creatures.
The roaring sound of artillery shook the earth, and the red flames went straight into the clouds.
The smell of charcoal mixed with the smell of half-lived meat wafted through the corpse-strewn land, and the soldiers who were running and fleeing were finally able to slow down and sit down on the sand to catch their breath.
Jiang Wen had already fallen down, and there was still shock on his face: "Are we finally safe?" We are finally safe ......."
