Biochemical "Ant Nest" Chapter Escape from Death!
Out of trust in Zero's "Danger Prediction" ability, Hank almost didn't hesitate to lie down, and in doing so, he was actually using his actions to send a message to the Delta team - "I believe in Bruce!" ”
On the other hand, the members of Delta Team, who didn't know much about Zero, hesitated for a while.
However, whenever this happens, they habitually focus their eyes on the "wolf mother", and then they are fighting or instigating, just listen to the orders of the "wolf mother"...
"Get down!" Turning his head to glance at the giant bats that were almost close at hand, Ruper finally gritted his teeth and gave the order to "take the lead in the first wave".
Of course, these members of the Delta team did not learn the obvious death-seeking action of "burying his head in his arm (crotch)", but bent his knees sideways on the ground and held the weapon tightly in his hand in a prostrate posture, which could make a counterattack at any time while minimizing the damage.
(PS: The reason why Zero holds his head with his arms is completely helpless, the 'anti-gas oxygen mask' he wears is quite limited for the protection of the head, especially the back of the head, for his own safety, he can only pretend to be a "quail", of course, there is another meaning...) )
As soon as he held his head with his arms, he felt as if a gust of wind was blowing above his head, and the roar of countless wings and the piercing screams from the bat's mouth seemed to be as if countless Sky Monkeys were speeding past his head.
At this moment, all the people lying on the ground deeply realized what it means to "spend days like years", especially Ruper, who had planned to have a positive wave with these bats before, at this time in his heart, in addition to fear, then only fear...
I don't know how long it took, but when Zero's ears gradually recovered from the buzzing state, he noticed that the huge movement coming from above his head seemed to be rapidly weakening!
"Is it finally over?" Thinking of this, Zero raised his head slightly, as if he was a thief, and looked around quietly, and when he looked up, he saw that the rest of the people were doing the same as himself.
When Zero turns his gaze to Hank, who is lying on the wall as a "quail", he sees that the thing happens to be looking at him, and when the two look at each other, Zero makes a smug gesture towards each other with an overlapping index and middle fingers.
And the next moment, he saw Hank slowly stretch out his right hand and raise a middle finger towards him...
(PS: "Index and middle finger overlapping" sign language has different meanings in different countries, for example, in China it is similar to "good luck, blessings", and in some European and American countries it is hostile and insulting...) )
When the last bat fluttered its wings and swept over everyone's heads, everyone's hearts were slightly calmed.
Zero, who stood up slowly with trembling legs, pressed his right hand to his chest, feeling his heart beating like a drum and not knowing what to think, until a few seconds later, he looked at the people around him.
At this time, everyone in the "wolf pack" team fastened a 'full-coverage Kevlar combat helmet' to their heads.
It seems that these guys are not stupid, they understand another meaning of Zero's "quail" pose, and they also know how to add a layer of protection to their heads...
(PS: The full-coverage Kevlar Combat Helmet has always been stacked and stored in their respective tactical backpacks by Team Delta, and since wearing a tactical helmet can be a hindrance, no one other than Beltway and the Ghost are wearing them...) )
When he saw the seemingly endless number of bats flying in front of him, Ruper's heart could be said to be "pulling out the cold", if it weren't for Zero's timely reminder that the Delta team she led would definitely be wiped out here today!
The danger of the large swarm of giant bats that everyone encountered this time was no less than that of the six tyrants they had killed one by one before, and to some extent even surpassed.
Even if the most professional team comes over for a crisis of this magnitude, a person who does not respond properly may be wiped out in an instant!
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the reason why the Delta team encountered this group of giant bats this time is also the bane they planted before.
As the lowest creatures of the Dubai Ruins, the spiders are naturally the target of countless mutated creatures, especially after being injured or killed, their wounds will emit a disgusting odor.
The swarm of bats was actually attracted by the foul smell of the corpses of the spiders, but fortunately their attention was not focused on the humans on the way.
Of course, if Ruper hadn't followed Zero's advice and opted for "just frontal", then the mutant bats wouldn't have minded adding an extra appetizer before the main meal...
Due to the long-term existence in the dark environment, the visual organs of these mutated bats have basically completely degenerated, and the infection of the progenitor virus (Capra parasite) has made their sense of smell and hearing extremely acute.
Zero didn't know if it was good luck or bad luck, because the number of bats was so large that their echolocation function could not be effective, and it was really difficult to find a few people lying in the area of the smoke screen just by relying on their sense of smell.
(PS: Although the smoke released by the smoke bomb has been blown away by the flying bats, the position of everyone is just downwind, and with the sparse smoke, some breath can be somewhat obscured...) )
However, not all of the members of the Delta team were unharmed, as there were a few reckless men in the previous battle with the spiders (yes, Beltway, Victor, Bertha...). Use cold weapons to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, which causes the rest of the team to suffer as well...
Imagine that some bats with an unusually sensitive sense of smell suddenly smell food when they get close to them, and the result is...
However, fortunately, the defense ability of the tight biochemical combat suits worn by the Delta team is comparable to that of Kevlar body armor, and the head is also equipped with a full-coverage Kevlar combat helmet, although several people have some scratches (bites) on their bodies, they are not infected!
Whether it's the spiders, the giant bats, or the other mutated creatures that haven't yet appeared in the Dubai Ruins, they're essentially hosts carrying the Archaeopteryx.
It is natural to be infected once you come into direct (indirect) physical contact with these infected organisms or if you are scratched/bitten by them, although the incubation period of these unknown viruses is slightly different from that of the "T-virus", an artificially created "enhanced virus".
What will become of humans when they are infected is really only known to God...
