Volume I, Section 233, Variations
The muscles on Gao Liquan's face twitched. He felt a sour nose and couldn't tell what was it that stimulated his eyes to get wet...... Damn, how could this kind of pretentiousness that only girls have appeared in Lao Tzu?
He wanted to leave the soldiers behind and run back, fighting like a lieutenant colonel. Yet reason told him that now was not the time for impulse, and that personal strength was no match for biological frenzy. The lieutenant colonel will definitely die, and he will use his sacrifice in exchange for more people to escape. He doesn't need help, he will greet death with a smile. Any form of help or mercy is an insult to him.
Gao Liquan only felt that something unspeakable was rolling in his chest. He grabbed the wounded soldier's arm and yelled wildly at the others who followed him and beside him.
"Fucking run faster, are you all soft-footed shrimp? Run, run, and must rush out of the city alive to avenge those who diedββββ"
Gao Liquan had already made up his mind that if the mutant creatures approached the last fleeing team again, then he would rush over and become the second reef to block the tide of death like the lieutenant colonel.
Powerful people with sharp bursts run extremely fast. Although they were also exhausted by hunger and thirst, they knew very well that they could never conserve their strength at this time. Many were out of breath, others were staggering with straight eyes and staggering, still holding each other on, shooting behind them as they ran towards the highway that seemed to have no end in sight.
The lieutenant colonel's combat uniform had been torn apart, and the ceramic armor on his chest had been shattered. A mutant ant-man seized the opportunity to pounce, sliced open the lieutenant colonel's abdomen with a sharp jaw, pulled out the liver and intestines, and began to devour it without hesitation.
On the ground nearby, a dense pile of flesh and blood corpses had been laid. Many monsters were torn alive with their heads and bodies, and the heads of several bloody corpses were smashed flat, but their bodies were twitching rhythmically. The lieutenant colonel, with his strong lethality, proved that the third-order strengthened physique was indeed very powerful. But he was a person after all, and even if he killed more than a hundred monsters in a short period of time, it would still be useless.
Several mutant ant-men swarmed up and launched the most rear-end assault on the exhausted lieutenant colonel. They cut from different directions with terrible jaws, cut the shoulders of the lieutenant colonel, cut the ribs hard, cut the ribs...... When the lieutenant colonel watched a huge pigman pounce on him, there was no more fear in his mind, which was filled with blood and fighting spirit, only a strange thought that even he himself found inexplicable.
The lieutenant colonel's son is a comic book fan. Occasionally, when he was looking through his son's book collection, the lieutenant colonel once read a manga called Dragon Ball. The Super Saiyan in it,It's probably about the same as my state at the moment.,Why do you want the characters in the book to always grab the opponent and blow themselves up together at the last moment of physical exhaustion.,But I can't?
The frenzied mutant creature passed over the dismembering lieutenant colonel and chased after the fugitives who had distanced themselves again.
Just when Gao Liquan and the others felt that there was no longer any hope, the roar of the motor suddenly sounded at the end of the road. Under their gaze of disbelief, as if they had seen a miracle, trucks roared from the opposite side. Even though it was daylight, the lights were still on, and the bright light was hard to look at, and the heavy machine gun mounted on the roof of the car immediately spewed tongues of fire, and a puff of bullets burrowed into the mutated creature's body, stirring up a brilliant and dazzling field of blood.
Su Hao and more than a dozen fifth-order "worker bees" stood in the carriage. When the truck approached Gao Liquan and the others, it suddenly stopped. With a huge inertia, Su Hao's extremely followers jumped down suddenly, raised the fierce pun cannon on his shoulder, and strode towards the swarming creature frenzy.
More than 300 people are all the counterattack power that Su Hao can use.
There are AWACS aircraft hovering in the air all the time, and this is probably the only thing the Air Force can do. They are responsible for monitoring the battlefield and transmitting the movements of the defeated troops to the various theaters of operations. Based on this information, the theater commander will send troops to take charge of the response at the appropriate location.
Although both the "Worker Bee" and Su Hao possessed fifth-order enhancement abilities, in this monitored environment, they could only exert their third-order strength at most. Once it is exceeded, it will be difficult to explain to the military department and the Academy of Sciences, and it will also bring even more trouble to itself.
"Come up, come upββββ"
The "worker bees", who did not have a combat mission, drove the truck, nimbly turning the direction on the highway. They beckoned the exhausted rout soldiers to hurry over, helped to unload the ammunition and weapons in the carriages, loaded the people, did not stop for a moment, and immediately galloped in the direction of Xinnanyang.
The armed "worker bees" of the follow-up convoy joined the battle far and continuously. Some of them joined Su Hao and the others to bombard mutant creatures with long-range large-caliber machine guns. Some of them carried the various equipment unloaded from the wagons on the spot, and based on the heavy ammunition boxes, a simple fortification was quickly erected on the road.
The power of the flat-firing shells was huge, and there were more than 50 "worker bees" who served as long-range attacks with Su Hao. The way the brain thinks about the search for the target can be β₯ to the highest standards of precision. A burst of cannonballs struck the mutant hordes with precision, targeting the biggest, strongest, and most powerful pigmen and cowmen in the creature frenzy.
Whistling shells exploded in the midst of the monsters, and the terrifying force of the explosion enveloped the entire highway section. Scattered flying shrenchnel caused widespread casualties. Although mutant creatures have a low level of pain, they still have a fear of serious physical injury. Especially in the special environment of the restrictive terrain such as the highway, overcrowding and large numbers of people can in themselves mean heavy casualties.
"Immediately carry out the chain replacement operation and prepare the weapon. Fighting troops, come with me to the ββββ"
The long and rapid and violent firing made the barrel of the individual aircraft hot. Su Hao loosened the chain buckle on his shoulder, threw away the bullet chain and shot into the air, the cannon with green smoke already coming out of the nozzle, pulled out the carbon battle axe from his backpack with his backhand, and with terrifying bravery and speed, he led dozens of "worker bees" who had already been prepared to rush towards the chaotic mutated creatures.
It's night.
In the dark, AWACS surveillance is much less effective than during the day. Under the cover of night, Su Hao and the "worker bees" could burst out with the super combat power of the fifth-order enhancer in a short period of time. Their movements are simple and unremarkable, and the rhythm and speed of wielding their tomahawks are incomparably smooth. There is no excessive divergence of thinking consciousness, and the detection radius is only locked within 10 meters of each person. By strengthening one's strength at a high level, one can clearly "see" the skin, muscle tissue, and even bone distribution of mutated creatures. Although this perception effect is vague, it is enough for the "worker bees" who fight in close quarters.
Su Hao's battle axe slashed diagonally at the neck of a dog man, and before the filthy mutant creature could completely lose its breath, he had already flipped the axe blade and began to cut horizontally towards the open blood basin mouth of the other rat man.
A series of movements are coherent and fluid, and the position of the footsteps, the changes in posture and movement are so precise that they must be calculated in a shorter unit of time than the "second".
This is not a show, but a real flesh-and-blood fight. In hand-to-hand combat situations, the rate of physical exertion is extremely fast. In order to avoid dying of exhaustion and be able to escape from the battlefield, the soldiers of the future world realm gradually explored a whole new set of tactics. To put it simply, under the premise of cooperating with each other, control the detection range of thinking consciousness, lock the nearest target from each other, and use the simplest and least physical strength to complete the kill through the way of detecting the composition of the opponent's bones through consciousness. Instead of tearing apart the monster's body or smashing it with a single punch in vain, as was the case in the early days of the Creature Wars, in order to show personal bravery.
The purpose of the fight is simply to kill the opponent. It's the same one-hit kill, it doesn't take much effort to cut the throat, and it doesn't make a difference from a berserker's knife to split the body. However, the former is clearly slower than the latter. On the ever-changing battlefield, this is the basis for survival and victory.
With the cover of the brawler, the long-range attacking units lined up in the rear were able to complete a series of actions such as changing the bullet chain, cooling the barrel, and replacing parts. Although the interval between the front and back is very short, it means that death is firmly controlled at an absolutely safe distance, and more people can take the opportunity to climb into the truck and leave the dead land alive.
"Fire ββββ"
With Zhang Nanyi's roar, the cannon array, which had been stagnant for a while, broke out again with a dense rain of bullets.
The array of brawlers in front of them has spread out. They kicked backwards towards the nearest mutant creature, and with the help of this force, their bodies moved backwards and backwards, rolled in the air, landed, and opened a distance of more than ten meters, and then half-knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and bent down as much as possible, allowing the dense artillery fire to fly overhead, roaring into the monster group.
The effect of long-range attacks is obvious, and the "worker bees" who have just experienced a head-to-head fight can also take the opportunity to rest and quickly recover their strength.
This tactic requires close coordination. If you are not careful, you will be injured accidentally. Even in the realm of the future life, there are often people who can't stand the rain of bullets that fly close to their scalps, and can't help but want to turn around and retreat, but they forget the height of their bodies and are beaten to death on the spot.
Gao Liquan has already put his wounded comrades on the truck. He witnessed the whole process of Su Hao leading the team to counterattack
There was a dense roar of artillery fire in his ears, and Gao Liquan only felt like a boulder weighing several tons on his body, and he couldn't breathe at all. Everything his eyes saw pounded at his nerves. Gao Liquan unconsciously opened his mouth wide, his eyes straightened, and even his legs, feet and hands began to tremble.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was true at all.
It's amazing, it's terrifying. There is such a precise cooperation and such a strange way of playing in the world. Looking at the fighting soldiers in front of the highway who were clinging to the ground, Gao Liquan wanted to rush over and ask Su Hao loudly, why didn't he care about the life and death of the soldiers? Why put them in such a dangerous situation? However, his own rebuke seems unreasonable. Because Su Hao himself is among them, he is even the closest to the mutant creatures.
It's just amazing.
The benefits of this style of play are obviousββββ whether it is a single machine gun or a carbon tomahawk, the effect of combining far and near makes the weapon powerful and lethal to the extreme. I really don't know how they usually train? At such a time, if anyone lowers the muzzle of their cannon a few millimeters, or the order to stop firing is delayed slightly, the brawler who gets up from the ground and rushes towards the monster will be killed on the spot.
The alternate attack soon went to the second round. When dozens of fighters jumped up from the ground with battle axes in their hands, Su Hao, who was already covered with the blood and minced flesh of mutated creatures, also exuded his extremely strong consciousness tentacles at a coordinate locked by his mind at a distant line of sight.
"Haig, you damn thing, did you promise me reinforcements? Where are they? If you don't come again, Lao Tzu will dieββββ"
"The greatest master, your humblest and most loyal servant, is waiting for your command."
Worm Haig...... No, it should be Rat Haig, at this moment, he is staying in an abandoned farmhouse, about 1,900 meters away from the highway where Su Hao is located. This is almost the limit of Haig's locating consciousness connection.
Since the day before yesterday, Haig had been wandering around the farmhouse. It's not that it has developed a strong artistic interest in the scenery here, but because this area belongs to the middle section of the Hefei battlefield and the new Nanyang base city, according to the degree of physical exertion, the specific source of food and water, the speed of action, etc., this is almost a predetermined ambush area.
Haig used to be a senior researcher. Although its original human body is rotten, it has inherited some of the wisdom and sophisticated calculation of the mind that humans should have. Since the Battle of Hefei, this guy has been staying in a safe enough place and watching from afar. Haig noticed that the "retreat" of the human army was actually hasty in the case of a sudden all-out attack by mutant creatures. They did not have time to gather more supplies, and many fled almost with their bare hands, without weapons and ammunition.
Now Haig is a very tough mouse. He was about the same length and weight as a normal vole, but his limbs were more than twice as long as normal. This change, of course, is the need to speed up the action, but it makes it look weird, as if it has not yet evolved a complete rat essence.
Relying on the powerful mental consciousness generated by the fusion of viruses and rodent genes, Haig controlled as many as 1,000 mice. It selects only the male rats that are the strongest and the fastest to run. With the ultrasound abilities obtained from bats, Haig has invented strange ways to communicate like never before. It first establishes absolute authority among these males, making them default to themselves as the rat king. Then, in a mind-controlled manner, control endpoints were established in the minds of each male mouse. When two males line up in a straight line, Haig is placed alongside one of the males and distances themselves so that the position between him and the two males is no longer a triangle, but a straight line that extends to the limit. In this case, Haig will definitely lose control of the second male, which is the farthest away male, due to distance limitations. But it can control the first male mouse, and then control the second male mouse, so that the information of this straight line can be kept unblocked, and the command from Haig can also be clearly transmitted to the second male mouse's brain through the living biological connection station of the first male mouse.
As many as 1,000 male rats, between Hefei and the new Nanyang base city, have built a secret communication line that is difficult to be detected by humans. This kind of contact is extremely primitive, and the drawbacks are obviousββββ as long as any of the males get out of control, or are captured by other carnivores, the entire line of contact will be blocked, and it is impossible to meet Su Hao's requirements, let alone any pre-war preparations.
However, Haig can be said to be a madman among high-level mutant creatures, because the absolute worship of Su Hao by the black particles has made him have a strong belief in carrying out the orders of his master at all costs. As a result, Haig took an unusually brutal approach to the management of the males.
In front of all the males, it bit and ate dozens of other rats. At the same time, all the hundreds of female rats that have belonged to them stand in a row, and make it clear to the male rats: if you can complete the task, then the female rats can have enough food. In the future, you will no longer have to worry about not having a spouse during the estrus period, and this king will help you with logistical and family problems. If you listen to Lao Tzu, get out of the road now and go to Lao Tzu to sell his life. If you don't listen, Lao Tzu will pick its skin now and use its meat to give everyone a taste.
Although rats are creatures with social institutions, they are far from evolving a mind similar to that of humans. The appearance of Haig undoubtedly fills the gap of kindness. Both males and females were impressed by Haig's wisdom. They had no idea of being oppressed or humiliated, and they only felt in their minds that they had to obey the king's orders. In this way, the rats tried their best to choose dark corners that were not noticed by natural predators, and curled up in various dirty and filthy places such as ditches, mud holes, and earth pits, honestly acting as a relay station between Haig and Su Hao.
The tactical computer on Su Hao's wrist was connected to the airborne early warning aircraft. Through the battlefield surveillance system, he saw tens of thousands of mutated creatures running wildly along the road. Only a part of them is chasing Gao Liquan and others, and the number of this group is about 3,000. If you think of them as the vanguard of the entire biological frenzy, then the part that follows closely behind, about two kilometers apart, is the follow-up force with more than 100,000 troops. They were like mighty torrents, filling the entire road, occupying the fields on both sides of the roadbed, and were rushing wildly towards it.
Relying only on Su Hao's commando team of more than 300 people, it was impossible to stop it.
The only hope is Haig.
