Chapter 040. The abyss of despair
Everything went from the worst to the worst. One by one, the young men who had been killed by their comrades and exerted absolute courage had already gritted their teeth and pulled out the grenades on their bodies. But they couldn't even throw it, they just roared into the corridor in front of them with a mortal belief, rushing in front of the huge and terrifying monster, hoping to trade their lives for more of their companions' chances of escape.
But no one threw down their weapons and turned to run, they continued to retreat as usual, and ran quickly towards the entrance of the hallway. From time to time, someone stopped to shoot with their M4A1 assault rifle or M249 light machine gun, but it still had no effect. Because they didn't even have a second to fire, they had already found that the massive, blood-drenched, as if out of a bloody hell, the terrifying monster appeared in front of them, waved its thick claws, and then tore their bodies into several pieces as easily as tearing paper.
The high-quality body armor could not defend against the razor-sharp claws, and the two panting soldiers of E Company had stopped running, and a chill surged up from their burning trachea. The two of them looked at each other blankly, but a weightlessness made them rush to the ground, and subconsciously wanted to support their bodies with their legs, but they still fell to the ground fiercely. At this time, the sharp pain in their waist made them realize that they had been cut in half.
The internal organs were already crackling all over the ground, mixed with blood, as if it were the scene of slaughtering pigs and sheep. But no one cared about this kind of thing, because the hind limbs that had been thick stepped on it heavily, and stepped on the internal organs and the upper half of the body with a big mouth to call for help, and then the sound of bones bursting instantly sounded, and a piece of viscous blood mixed with internal organ fragments appeared on the surrounding concrete floor.
It has re-entered the realm of hell, and the massive deathclaw has transformed into the most feared demon, reaping the lives around it with its claws. In this short moment, not even five minutes, in this wide corridor of less than 50 meters, there were already more than a dozen corpses of US Army soldiers lying horizontally. And the price paid by this deathclaw was only some seemingly terrifying flesh wounds, and seven or eight fist-sized penetrating wounds.
An E Company soldier let out an angry howl, and he struggled with the blood on the floor, but his crotch was directly cut off by Qi Gen, and even a blood-red cut appeared on his chest. Luckily, the wound in his chest wasn't deep, and unfortunately, the massive monster was slowly stepping towards him. Lucky or unlucky had nothing to do with him, he slowly reached out and pulled out a grenade, struggling to pull the safety with his teeth, and as the faint white smoke appeared, he inhaled deeply as if enjoying a good cigar, just closed his eyes and scolded: "Son of a bitch." ”
"Bang-"
A violent explosion set off a wave of rising air in the corridor, and fist-sized flames instantly appeared in the corridor as the gunpowder expanded, rolling up pieces of blood and broken cement, and swallowing everything in the corridor like the most ferocious beast. Whether it was the death claws that were close at hand, or the few soldiers of Company E who had also lost some parts of their parts, they were all extinguished in the rising and expanding light and heat.
And that's not the end of it, as five defensive grenades exploded immediately. The intense flames had engulfed the surrounding area of nearly ten meters, and were also advancing farther along the course of the corridor at a rapid speed. Waves of blazing air and flames had filled the hallway, and even the sticky blood on the ground had evaporated from the blazing heat. Streams of stronger smell of blood and fishy stench appeared in this corridor, but it became more and more terrifying as hell.
The blazing air continued to rush towards the corridor, and the ferocious flames quickly disappeared into the air. And when the remaining soldiers of E Company got up on the floor, they still remembered the violent roar in their ears. Everyone turned their heads in shock to look into the corridor behind them, and in the midst of the smoke, a huge figure was staggering out, roaring even more irritable and crazy at them!
However, its wobbly form has already shown that even after it has withstood a series of gunshots, plus the bombardment of grenade explosions, it is not so easy to bear. Sharp and deadly shrapnel of the grenade easily sliced through the already tattered skin, and the muscles and bones inside were torn apart by the inflated force of the gunpowder. But such a serious injury made the deathclaw stare at the scarlet eyes, slowly take a step, and continue to walk towards them.
The gunfire had become sparse, and there was no half of the metal storm that had been before. Suddenly, the seven or eight soldiers of Company E, who were closest to the deathclaw, roared wildly and pulled all the grenade safety on their bodies, and rushed towards the deathclaw in a frenzy. In the belief of mortality, weak humans can become the most violent creatures, to show any enemy what it is like to be mad. Evolved from Australopithecus to humans, and became the masters of the earth, human beings did not rely only on external forces, but also on their bloodthirsty beasts, which were suppressed in the deepest part of their souls!
An even greater explosion appeared on the body of the deathclaw, and the soldiers of Company E hugged the torso of the deathclaw in a desperate way. Whether it was the hind limbs that stepped on or the sharp claws that swung over, they didn't care about their lives, and they never let go after holding on fiercely. It's as if they were as brutal as fascist Germany on the European battlefield, and they didn't think about their own lives at all!
A series of explosions appeared in the hallway, and ferocious flames swept through almost the entire area. The fiery waves of air and the power of the expansion of gunpowder caused the death claw to fly heavily to the ground, and half of its body turned into a piece of charred black. And the heat wave was still spreading around, but when the smoke cleared and the huge figure still staggered to its feet, everyone seemed to fall into the deepest despair.
"Nope! Why is this happening! It shouldn't be like this! ”
Old Bunnard retreated to the rear, but his heart was full of sorrow and despair. The wrinkled old face no longer had the confidence and affirmation it had before, and after such an abrupt turn, even he had lost the confidence to continue to resist. Because that huge deathclaw is really too powerful, so strong that he has lost the cover of the armored force, and he has the heart to wait for death. In just a few minutes, with a death rate of more than 50 percent, and the loss of all heavy weapons, and the dilemma of no reinforcements at all, how could he break it?
A group of light infantry has no heavy weapons, no anti-armor means, so in addition to surviving with the help of complex environments, it is only to die or be captured. But now looking at the stumps all over the ground, looking at this corridor that came straight to the end, old Bunard slowly stopped retreating, brushed the gray hair on his forehead stained with sweat or blood, and asked with a miserable smile: "Are we going to be wiped out?" ”
There were two soldiers beside him, one on the left and one on the right, but when he heard his words, the panic on his face became even stronger. They didn't say much, they just gritted their teeth and tried to drag their commander out of here, but they were horrified to find that Old Bunard slowly stopped, broke free from their support, picked up his M4A1 assault rifle, and turned directly to stand in the middle of this corridor.
"General! Right in front of us is the entrance to the hallway, and we'll be out of here in no time! ”
One soldier looked down the hallway ahead, the dim emergency lights still allowing them to see the entrance not far away. Although he was quite frightened in his heart, especially looking at the terrifying monster that was getting closer and closer, the panic in his heart almost made his legs weak, but he still gritted his teeth and said to Old Bunal urgently: "As long as we return to the tank, even this monster will be bombarded to pieces by the main gun of the 120mm caliber tank!" ”
"Leave? No, my troops are here, why should I leave! ”
The M4A1 assault rifle in his hand was pressed against his shoulder, and there was only a piece of determination in the eyes of old Bunal. He pulled the trigger and swept the bullet from the magazine over the deathclaw twenty meters away, while seven or eight soldiers around him followed him in the same motion. But there were also soldiers who were running towards the entrance of the corridor in a panic, but old Bunnard didn't care too much, he just muttered to himself: "I'm going to stay here and accompany those brave young men!" ”
The eyes of the two soldiers beside him were already wide, and their hearts were already extremely tormented. But years of training and warrior glory could not make them turn and flee, but they also picked up the rifle in their hands and shot at the deathclaw in vain. But the slowly trembling legs of the two of them, and the movements that turned their heads from time to time and gasped at the entrance of the corridor, also showed their inner thirst for life, and a certain kind of honor torment. They are the U.S. Federal Army, honor and pride have long been engraved in their hearts, the power of the system makes it impossible for them to flee immediately, and for that terrifying man-eating monster, surrender is just a joke.
But when everyone was desperate, they didn't notice that a figure carrying a Winchester M1887 shotgun was slowly appearing behind the terrifying monster, walking forward silently, and at the same time aiming the muzzle of the black hole at the back of the monster's head.
