Chapter 242: The Yellow Finch Catches the Cicada (5)
Right next to 659 and 173, in an open position, the light of the red moon distorted and deformed above the earth, and between the light and shadow, a sturdy and burly figure appeared out of thin air.
The color of this person's clothing is matte black, and it is impossible to distinguish the material of the clothing at a rough glance, so it can only be roughly judged that it is not a simple fabric.
Gray goggles and a black-and-white skull mask obscure the subject's face, but the broad shoulders and raspy voice hint at his gender.
"Let me introduce myself, the non-commissioned officer of the 22nd Corps of the Revenge Army, Hu Tengye, just call me a beard!"
As the bearded man introduced himself, the air around the two Zhang Heng curled and twisted, and between the changes of light and shadow, a large number of warriors dressed in the same way as Hute appeared out of thin air, with the weapons in their hands raised horizontally, aiming at the darkness in front of them in unison.
After that, the silent firelight began to beat and flash like a dancing elf.
The visitor took off the skull mask, revealing a thick black and white beard underneath it, and a very enthusiastic smile.
"Master Chief...... Hu Teng also ......"
If there was a word to describe the mental activity of the two Elders, it would be the perfect word.
"It's ...... High Concealment Technology...... My reconnaissance equipment didn't even find ......"
The first to speak was 659, who was barely able to maintain his composure compared to 173's gaffe.
"Oh, the first generation of artificial intelligence, a product that was just eliminated last year, is really good on the battlefield, but the only problem is that it is too rigid, and there is still a big lack in seeking the optimal solution."
The bearded man apparently discovered the monocle that 659 was wearing, and said disapprovingly.
"This timeline has collapsed, and you can collect at most a few fragments of information here, and nothing else can be done."
With a long sigh, Hute also looked away from 659's face and turned to his blood-soaked right arm.
"Oh, patronizing it, you're still hurt, Xiao Gu!"
As Hu Teng also shouted, a soldier with significantly more equipment than others quickly stepped forward from the rear and squatted in front of 659.
Before 659 could say anything, the warrior, who was also called Xiao Gu by Hu Teng, untied the strange gun on his back and aimed it at 659's injured arm.
"The sharp stinger shot by the shadow worm is not poisonous, which is a blessing in misfortune, if it is poisonous, simple trauma treatment can only have the effect of delaying death......
Xiao Gu explained in a low voice that he was also wearing goggles and a mask on his face, but the mask was pure black, and there was no skull pattern on it like Hu Tengye.
"It's ......"
Sweeping his gaze to the strange gun in Xiao Gu's hand, 659 asked.
"The Z-drive treatment gun is capable of treating simple traumatic injuries using pseudo-life essence sources."
"Pseudo-Life Essence Source ......"
When 659 heard the noun in Xiao Gu's mouth, he seemed to be very interested, and repeated it several times.
"Bear with me."
The wound on Zhang Heng-659's arm was not cleaned, Xiao Gu just reminded him and pulled the trigger in his hand.
A lilac glow poured out of the storage jar at the back of the strange gun, spiraling through the barrel and quickly merging into a thin rope.
With a soft thud, the lilac rope burst out of the muzzle and disappeared into the severed arm of 659's wounded.
Compared to the small movement in the muzzle, the expression on 659's face can be described as wonderful.
A lilac rope enters the body
At the moment of the body, 659 felt as if his right arm was being crushed inch by inch by a crusher, and then welded it piece by piece with a welding torch spraying a high-temperature flame, and the degree of pain could not be described as the word "drill and bone".
"Unknown energy source infusion, recorded"
As the healing gun continued to inject pseudo-life essence into the body, the pale green data stream also kept passing through the monocle, but at this time, 659 had no intention of paying attention to these, because the severe pain in his right arm was enough to make him faint on the spot, if it weren't for his willpower, he would have lost consciousness long ago.
"Okay, it's good to treat it simply, we can't stay here for a long time, there are too many shadow insects, we can't resist for long."
As he spoke, Hu Teng also picked up the firearm in his hand and aimed at the darkness in the distance.
"Xiao Gu, you leave first with the two Elders, and my brothers and I will drag you for a while......"
Hearing Hu Teng also beckoning Xiao Gu to go first, 173, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Where are you going to retreat in this wilderness? And the shadow worm doesn't seem to move slowly...... Can we escape......"
In fact, at this time, in 173's heart, the most concerned thing is not whether he can escape, but his urgent mission.
You must know that when the system gave the time limit, it only gave one day in the Red Moon World, and it was impossible to kill the Insect King beyond this time, so the result waiting for him was still humane destruction.
Therefore, even if he escapes from the mouth of the insect tide, it is nothing more than delaying the time of death, and once a day passes in the Red Moon World, 173 will still usher in the fate of destruction.
However, Xiao Gu couldn't guess what 173 was thinking in his head, but answered the other party's question head-on.
"Shadow insects move extremely fast, and they also have the attribute of living in groups, so it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to survive in the face of the pursuit of this creature."
"But fortunately, you met us, the 22nd Corps of the Avenger Army, although it is said that it is impossible to kill the Shadow Insect Tide, but it is very simple to delay for a while and let the two of you retreat safely."
As he spoke, Xiao Gu put away the strange gun in his hand and took out a delicately crafted whistle from his jacket pocket.
"Woo......"
The seemingly small whistle, under Xiao Gu's blowing, actually emitted a dull whistle.
As the whistle blew, SCP-173 noticed a few fighters with their guns firing their heads slightly deflected in the direction they were.
Although they both wore masks on their faces and could not see the change in their expressions, 173 could still feel the envy of each other.
"The sound of this whistle is indeed strange, but it should only be a communication object, why would those soldiers turn their heads to look at it as if they were still envious......
Although it was strange in his heart, 173 didn't ask, just got up quietly, and reached out to help 659 who was sitting on the ground.
"Since these people have said so, let's see if I can escape, and try to delay for a while if I can delay for a while, in case things take a turn for the better in the future, maybe I can still complete this cheating father's urgent mission......"
The emergency tasks issued by the system are quite difficult, and it is simply impossible for 173 to complete, and it seems that the situation is really as 659 said, this system exists more to kill the host, rather than an assistant to assist the host's growth.
But 173 knew in his heart that although his system seemed to be cheating, it would not be enough to issue him a mortal mission.
The whistle lasted for a short time, and it was only a breath, and after blowing, Xiao Gu put the whistle back away and turned his head to look behind.
Similar to the front of the firelight, the rear of the warriors was also a barren land, and the faint light of the red moon was not there
when penetrating the clouds and spilling from the sky.
Except for the non-stop sound of shattering in front of them, everything around was so quiet, even the gunfire of the soldiers was just a flashing light, and no sound came.
But 173 always felt that something was speeding towards the location of the warriors, and when it came to determining the direction of the comer, he couldn't pinpoint the exact location.
This made 173 feel uneasy.
However, this state did not last long, and soon 173's chaotic thoughts were dragged back to reality by Xiao Gu's voice.
"Here we are."
173 Hearing this, he hurriedly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Gu, but seeing that there was no change in his surroundings, he wanted to ask.
But before the Elder could ask questions, the answer to what happened next was revealed.
The space that was as transparent as dark jade was distorted, and two huge beast-shaped figures were like submarines emerging from the bottom of the sea, slowly fading the protective color on their bodies and appearing in front of everyone.
It was two lizards the size of a car, their uneven skin covered with marble-sized bumps, each of which was a mix of colors, but distinct.
The six limbs are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the body, and the broad soles of the feet and thick knuckles reduce the pressure of the giant beast when stepping on the ground, even if the body is heavy, it will not leave footprints on the ground.
Compared with the tail with a thick front end and a thin tail at the end of the general lizard, the tail of the two monitor lizards that suddenly appeared is more like a thick python, except for the slightly thicker side of the tail root, the overall shape is very uniform, and at the end of the tail, there is also a bowl-shaped mouth, which has a strange shape, and it is not clear what the effect is.
But these weirdness are a little bit small when compared to the lizard's head.
The two huge lizard creatures in front of them had a normal-sized human face at the position of their heads.
It stands to reason that a lizard monster the size of a car should have a lizard head the same size as its body, and no matter how bad it is, it should be a monster head with green faces and fangs, and it should not be a human head.
But these two lizard creatures have two human heads, and their faces are still relatively delicate.
"This ......"
659, who had finally recovered from the sharp pain in his right arm, looked up and saw such a strange-shaped creature, and immediately stopped talking, not knowing what to say.
"Oh, don't be afraid, this is the big color and the small color, the species is a hybrid formed after the secondary virus infection, and the life energy level is gamma."
"The two of them will lead you back in a while, although the movement speed of the human-faced lizard is not as fast as that of the shadow insects, but the camouflage ability is one of the best, plus we will attract the attention of the insect tide in the front, you will definitely be able to escape safely."
Xiao Gu said seriously, and at the same time, his steps moved forward, and his right hand touched the head of one of the lighter-skinned human-faced lizards.
"This is Xiaocai.,The personality is more naughty.,I haven't performed a few tasks after the life energy is stable.,Although it's not very reliable.,But there shouldn't be any problems with Dacai.。
After explaining this, Xiao Gu withdrew his palm, put the mask around his neck back on, and returned to the team.
"However, the two of them can be invisible, and the two of us can't be invisible, riding on the backs of two lizards that can be invisible, except for being a little weird, it's still easy to be discovered......"
173 raised his left hand and expressed the doubts in his heart.
"You don't have to worry about that."
Xiao Gu's eyes narrowed because of the smile on his face, and he pinched the goggles on his head with both hands and put them on his face......
