Chapter 037. Tragic
The figure was really huge, and the dim light seemed to be obscured by the appearance of the figure. The corridor of the underground research institute, which is four meters high and five meters wide, is now filled with that figure. And even if this is an extremely empty and wide corridor for a normal human, the burly figure still can't really stand up, with two thick and powerful front paws on his chest, looking a little hunched and curled up.
But even so, the extreme sense of depression brought by that figure had already made Liszt and them on this side of the corridor subconsciously clench the weapons in their hands. The small space and huge body, the bellows-like gasps in the distance between the breaths, and the huge bloodshot eyes brought by the deterrent power almost slowed down Liszt's heart a little. It's like a group of light infantry encountering a main battle tank head-on in this small space!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa—"
The furious roar that came out of his throat had leapt over the fang-filled mouth, and through the long corridor like a megaphone, it had invaded Liszt's eardrums like a burst of thunder. The rich smell of blood mixed with the rancid smell of internal organs, and even in that violent roar, it also turned into a gust of fishy wind that rushed away, shocking all the creatures in this corridor, including Liszt, who did not dare to make the slightest movement!
Liszt's eyes instantly shrank to the minimum, and his heart was beating rapidly, and the secretion of adrenaline made him feel an extremely explosive force all over his body, as if gushing out from the depths of his soul. But Liszt's face was only solemn and cold, because when the power of this adrenaline rush disappeared, then a weakness would follow, and he knew very well that this power could help in times of danger, and the biggest disadvantage of improper use!
"Get out of here!"
The oncoming wind made Liszt feel that the turbid blood and stinking pieces of internal organs all over the ground had penetrated into his nostrils. A wave of nausea also gradually appeared in his throat, but the Winchester M1887 shotgun in Liszt's hand was still tightly held, and several arrow shotguns were already caught between his fingers. In the face of deathclaws, armor-piercing type ammunition is absolutely effective, and he turned his head to look at the soldiers of E Company behind him who seemed to be stunned, but did not give the order to shoot, but just shouted: "Get out of here immediately, get out of here, hurry up!" ”
This is the real deathclaw. Now the thought that appeared in Liszt's mind turned out to be this. Because when he saw the huge figure slowly appearing in the depths of the corridor, his mind instantly came to mind, the true appearance of the powerful creature that he had encountered in the radiant wasteland, the powerful creature he had encountered in the radiation wasteland, in his previous life!
More than four meters tall was already on the ceiling, a thick tail was still pounding on the ground and walls behind him, and the tonnage weight brought a terrifying amount of power. The combination of a huge body and strong hind limbs is a tenacious vitality and explosive speed. This is the most feared creature in the Fallout Wasteland, and the candidate race that can break the human monopoly on the supremacy of the earth, this is the real deathclaw!
Unlike the previous encounters, the death claws of the test subjects, which are more than two meters high, can be solved with small-caliber assault rifles and submachine guns that fire pistol rounds. Now what Liszt encountered was even more in line with the terrifying appearance in his mind! Although there is no record of military operations in the game that launch real deathclaws to attack, just looking at the game's power armor and systematic data control characters, they have to be cautious in the face of legendary deathclaws, and now Liszt is also at a loss and at a loss in his heart.
"What a jackpot, I should have thought of it..."
Liszt muttered to himself, but the solemnity on his face still forced him to calm down. The heart that has been tempered in a critical moment is still useful in such emergencies. He took a deep breath and still had a fishy smell, his back molars were already clenched, and he turned his head to look at the soldiers of E Company behind him who were still at a loss, as well as the researcher named Bell, holding the Winchester M1887 shotgun in one hand, while his right hand grabbed the secondary shooter behind him who was still dazed with the M249 light machine gun, and shouted loudly in his ear: "Lead everyone, retreat immediately!" Immediately, back off! ”
"What... What the... Fire... Fire? Mr. Liszt... Shouldn't we open fire? ”
The co-shooter with the M249 light machine gun subconsciously trembled his lips, unable to even speak completely, but his blank gaze finally coalesced in Liszt's angry gaze. He swallowed hard and spit, his eyes had shrunk to half of his usual size, his voice was still trembling, and he even felt that the light machine gun in his hand was extremely heavy now: "What are we going to do... What to do..."
"God, don't do this, I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I'm a genius who graduated from one of the top federal universities in the United States, I don't want to die here, I don't want to die here, God, please save me! ”
The researcher named Bell suddenly cried, the appearance of his colleagues being killed like chickens and ducks had already tightened his nerves, and the stumps and internal organs all over the ground made his ordinary nerves extremely sensitive. Although the arrival of Liszt's rescue team slowly relaxed his nerves, the ups and downs of the death claws and the threat of death also completely broke his nerves: "I don't want to die here, God, please save me!" Help me, I'm a genius at a prestigious university, I can't die here! ”
The cry immediately woke everyone up, and the soldiers of the E Company of this standard squad looked at Liszt with dazed and frightened. The perennial high-intensity training and the systematic military class did not make them throw down their weapons and become a deserter, and now Liszt has become their undoubted backbone. Because Liszt had been authorized by General Bunnard to lead them, the title of Butcher of Heaven had also penetrated deep into their hearts.
"Smack-"
And Liszt did not have the slightest shadow of inaction at this time, and the slap had already appeared on the face of the young researcher Bell, and the ferocious force instantly made five finger marks appear on the white face, and directly made the cry disappear instantly. Slowly glancing at the soldiers who had woken up, Liszt's roar seemed to come out of his throat: "Retreat!" Fall back! We retreat!! ”
No one could confront a true deathclaw head-on, and even if they were well-trained and capable squads, they still couldn't hide the fact that they were light infantry. They had no mortar support, no heavy machine gun support, no armored fire support, no helicopter gunships, no artillery support, and even a pitiful number of supporters. There were twelve of them, and perhaps the most powerful was the defensive grenade, but for the speed at which the deathclaws erupted, it was enough to rush over and tear them apart, mixing them with the shredded flesh and blood on the ground.
They had begun to retreat behind them, but they looked more like fleeing with their armor thrown away. Strict military training and discipline made them afraid to throw away their weapons at will, and at the same time, they also knew that if they threw away their weapons, they might not even have the last chance to resist.
The massive deathclaw in the depths of the hallway was roaring angrily, and its bloodshot eyes were locked on Liszt. Then it began to shake its body and began to run and crawl, its thick hind limbs stamping into blood and splattering with blood, and crushing the fragments of its internal organs into flesh. The ground was already shaking like an earthquake, and its huge body hit the walls on both sides of the corridor because of its walking, and patches of cracks also appeared on the walls, as dense as cobwebs, which also showed how great this guy's strength was.
But its speed is definitely not slow, its thick hind limbs give it a super-fast burst, and the thick tail wagging also keeps it balanced. Every time his legs stepped on the floor, large patches of blood splashed and blood spots were splashed, and the whole body was splashed red. And when the soldiers of E Company in front looked back, they were shocked to find that in less than three or five seconds, the huge monster had already crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and appeared behind them!
"Damn it!"
Liszt didn't look back, but his eyes instantly shrank like the eye of a needle, and a fishy wind appeared behind his head, and with the secretion of adrenaline, a sour feeling instantly ran down his spine in both of his waists, straight to his head. A certain stream of green data instantly overflowed in his eyes, Liszt's heart seemed to stop beating instantly, he felt that the world began to slow down, and a certain sense of crisis also made him subconsciously bow his head and bend over, and at the same time roll towards a recessed rest area next to him and jump in.
In his peripheral eye, he could already see some kind of huge claw, like a halberd, cutting through the corner of the wall, and the tremendous force had destroyed almost half of the corner. Flying shards of cement flew through the air, mixed with broken fragments of firearms, stained with inconspicuous blood and human body stumps. Everything was slow, Liszt's body was still in mid-air, his afterglow had lost sight with the turn of his head, and only some long cries of grief appeared in his ears, because even the sound seemed to be slow.
