Chapter 97: Velociraptor vs. Painted Skin Monster!
When Charlie was dragged away by the painted skin parasite.
The only people who witnessed this were Simon, Carl and the girl.
Even Xu Hui, who had been supported by Charley, only felt a sinking of his arm, and was dragged hard, and then there was a heavy object next to him. The sound of falling sounded.
Immediately after, Charlie's cries for help faded away, and Xu Hui only saw two shadows flashing at the end of the alley.
It's enough to see how suddenly all this happened.
In the end, when Meng Lei, Huo Ye, and Lenny came back to their senses, Charlie and the painted skin parasite had long since disappeared.
In the darkness, only Charley's painful, desperate wails echoed.
"What's going on?! What's wrong with Charlie?! ”
Listening to Charley's screams and cries for help lingering in his ears, Meng Lei's heart immediately tightened and realized that the situation was wrong.
"He was dragged away by a monster! Damn it! ”
Simon dropped a word viciously, and ran in the direction where Charlie had disappeared at the end of the alley.
At the same time, I kept praying in my heart, hoping that everything would still be saved.
Meng Lei didn't stop him, and if he could, he would never leave anyone in the team behind easily.
However, the painted skin parasite actually jumped past the front and rear fire blockade and directly attacked the members in the middle of the team, which he didn't realize before.
"Everyone try to stick to the wall and pay attention to the ...... above"
Meng Lei shouted loudly, but before he could finish speaking, the electric lights in the alley suddenly flickered.
In the dimness, out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glimpsed,
On the roof of a two-story building on the diagonal side, a misshapen shadow flickered by.
Meng Lei's heart sank, and he immediately shouted:
"Be careful, second floor!"
As he spoke, he raised the submachine gun in his hand at the same time, and raised his hand to shoot at the roof.
"Da Da Da ......"
The brilliant muzzle flame suddenly shone out, spewing out a series of scarlet tongues of fire.
The scorching bullet slammed into the hard metal wall, sending a spark in all directions.
At this time, Hans, who was at the back of the line, also noticed the movement on the roof of the building, and shot without saying a word.
The suppression of the firepower of the two seemed to make the other party feel threatened, and the expected attack did not arrive for a long time.
On the other side, Simon also rushed to the end of the alley.
When he followed the direction from which the voice came and looked ahead, he immediately gritted his teeth, and angry flames erupted from his eyes.
I saw that in the alley at the other end of the corner, two hideous and terrifying painted skin parasites were lying on Charley's body and biting wildly!
At this time, Charlie had not completely lost his breath.
Although his chest was thrown away by the mouthparts full of sharp teeth and fangs, his muscles and nerves were still struggling and spasming.
Under the huge bite force and sharp teeth of the painted skin parasite, Charley's body was easily torn apart layer by layer like a fragile piece of paper.
That scene was terrible!
Eventually, just before his life was about to pass away, Charley seemed to sense something, and turned his head with difficulty to look at Simon.
The desperate and painful look in his eyes made Simon's heart tremble for a while.
The next moment, Charley's head was completely encased in one of the painted skin parasites, with that terrifying and huge mouthpart.
Immediately after, there was a slight popping sound.
Charlie's entire head was directly bitten and shattered by that ugly monster!
It seems that these two painted skin parasites had no intention of parasitizing Charlie at all, and it was purely a revenge killing!
At this moment, another painted skin monster next to him turned his head and saw Simon's eyes cracking.
Sharp as a bird's beak, the mutated organ slowly poked out of the throat, and in the dim light, the scarlet mucus kept dripping to the ground.
The miserable white eyes bulging outward, staring at Simon deadly, his body slightly arched, as if he might attack at any time!
"Damn it!"
Simon hid his anger in shock, his teeth gurgling.
After all, he has a wealth of combat experience, and seeing that Charlie is powerless, he did not hesitate to pull the trigger at the moment.
A long shot that pushes the two painted skin parasites back.
One last glance at the shattered Charlie, and then without looking back, he ran back into the alley, shouting at everyone:
"Charlie is dead, run, there are two in the back!"
Simon roared as he ran, and at the same time set up his gun and retreated in an orderly manner.
Meng Lei's heart trembled when he heard this.
This was the first time that someone had been killed in the ranks, although in this case, everyone knew that sacrifice was inevitable, and the probability of everyone dying out was slim.
But when death really came to him, sorrow and anger still couldn't help but come to my heart.
But Meng Lei also knows that he must not be affected by emotions now.
At that moment, while turning the head of the gun and paying close attention to the movement above his head, Meng Lei shouted at Huo Ye:
"Lao Huo, what's the situation ahead?!"
Huo Ye and Lanny's voices came almost simultaneously.
"That monster ran away outside the alley just now, I don't know where to hide!"
"Safe for the time being, everyone, come on, the warehouse will be here soon!"
Hearing this, Meng Lei did not hesitate and decisively ordered:
"Quick, get out!
The old Huo rack gun opened the way, Hans paid attention to the top of his head, Jia Quan broke off with Simon, go quickly! ”
As he spoke, Meng Lei pulled out his legs and rushed to the front of the team.
Immediately behind him were Carl and Xu Hui, but due to Charlie's sacrifice, Xu Hui, who was originally supported by two people left and right, could barely keep up with the footsteps of the large army, and his speed undoubtedly slowed down at this moment.
However, the clinic girl named Lin stood up at this time.
took the initiative to pull one of Xu Hui's arms and assisted Carl in dragging Xu Hui to run forward quickly.
At this moment, the sharp roar of filial piety continued to echo around.
The four painted skin parasites flanked back and forth, and after killing Charlie, they did not rush to attack, but lurked in the dark corners around them, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Everyone listened to the piercing tearing sound and the low footsteps, one by one, their nerves tensed, cold sweat broke out, and they all ran wildly, eager to give birth to two more legs.
After running some more distance, the group turned onto a large road.
It's close to the edge of the living quarters, and it's supposed to be a storage area.
In the mud and filth of the ground, many ruts can be clearly seen, and it is clear that there are often trucks with extremely heavy loads that often travel here.
And there are more corpses on this street than in other places.
On average, every three to five meters, you can see the horrific corpses lying in pools of blood.
And the most frightening thing is that these corpses, which have long been cut off from life, actually began to have nervous convulsions from time to time at this moment!
engulf
Struggling slightly, it seems, trying to get up from the ground!
It is evident that the parasites in their bodies have grown to the final stage, beginning to gradually revive and take over the dominance of the body.
Seeing this, everyone's hearts sank.
This new type of paint-skin parasite seems to be parasitic faster than they had previously thought.
I'm afraid that it won't be too long before the corpses of this city will stand up again from the sea of blood, turn into a great terror, and sweep the whole city madly!
"Damn! It seems like it's running out of time! ”
Meng Lei scolded in his heart, feeling that the situation was not good.
At this time, the fat boss Lenny, who was running at the front, gasped violently, pointed to the stairs next to a building, and shouted:
"Quick, walk from here, through a corridor in the sky, and we'll be to the warehouse!"
As he spoke, Lenny rushed forward with a gun in his hand.
The agile movements were very incongruous with his bloated figure, forming a great contrast.
It can be seen that in order to survive, this guy has completely released all the potential in his body and squeezed out the potential.
At that moment, the group followed Lenny and rushed up the stairs quickly.
After walking through two consecutive floors of hollow-shaped staircases, the group reached the third floor of the building.
A sky corridor that runs through the air of the city and connects the two buildings together is suddenly presented in front of you.
The dilapidated and dilapidated metal corridor is sixty or seventy meters long.
It's like a suspension bridge, spanning the middle of two buildings.
Like most buildings in the city, the promenade has apparently not been undergoing maintenance for a long time.
Not only was the whole body rusty, but several ropes had been broken, hanging lonely in the air.
It looks like it could collapse at any moment.
However, Lenny is clearly used to it, and has absolute confidence in the quality of the promenade.
After coming to the third floor of the building, he didn't even think about it, and ran directly towards the bridge.
While running, he waved behind him:
"Quick! The warehouse is just across the street, just around the corner! ”
The situation was urgent, and Meng Lei and the others didn't have time to think too much, so they could only keep up.
As the crowd arrived one after another, they ran desperately.
The dilapidated metal promenade was overwhelmed and began to shake slightly, with a piercing rattling sound.
Everyone walked all the way, only to feel frightened.
Fortunately, the quality of this metal corridor is indeed not said, although it is a bit mad, a little broken, but it is strong. It's as good as ever.
"It's here, it's coming! On the second floor of the building in front of you, there is a warehouse! Come on, everyone! ”
When Simon was less than ten meters away from the bridge, Lanny, who was running at the front, was already about to run through the corridor to the end.
He pointed to a red building in front of him and yelled, looking excited.
Hearing this, everyone also lifted their spirits and accelerated their pace again.
But at this time, the metal corridor, which was already a little swaying, suddenly shook.
I heard a loud bang coming from the back, and everyone turned their heads to look.
I saw that at the entrance of the corridor behind Simon, there was a distorted and strange figure out of thin air, which was a painted skin parasite!
At the same time, it didn't take a few people to come to their senses.
The metal slab overhead also made two loud bangs.
Clearly, something had run up on them.
You don't have to think much about it to know that this must be a few painted skin parasites that have been following them just now, choosing to break out at this time.
"Holy! Simon, run! ”
Meng Lei was suddenly furious, and shouted at Simon while running wildly.
Simon, on the other hand, reacted at the first time, desperately pulling the trigger while turning and running.
In front of him, Hans immediately joined the fight, crouching down and shooting directly on the spot to cover Simon.
As soon as the two of them attacked with firepower, a sticky blood flower immediately bloomed on the painted skin parasite at the end of the corridor.
Under the pain, the painted skin parasite was quite decisive, and the ten tentacles directly grabbed the ropes on both sides of the passage, jumped out of the corridor, began to crawl along the edge, and quickly approached everyone.
"Damn, that guy ran down there, watch your step!"
Before Simon could finish speaking, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded on the metal slab above everyone's heads.
Immediately after, above where Carl and Xu Hui were, the hard metal shed was torn apart.
Ten twisted and wriggling tentacles swooped down from the crack and grabbed at Xu Hui's head.
"Ahh
This scene happened so suddenly that the girl finally couldn't bear the fear in her heart and burst into screams of terror.
As soon as Meng Lei heard the abnormal noise, he immediately raised his gun and turned around, desperately pulling the trigger at the location of the tentacles.
"Da Da Da ......"
The scorching bullet burst out of its chamber, instantly striking a series of dense bullet holes in the metal ceiling.
Suddenly, a piercing roar sounded.
Sticky blood dripped down the bullet hole, and the monster had obviously been shot.
The twisted tentacles immediately withdrew from the torn crack, and heavy footsteps rang out again.
The two painted skin parasites ran rapidly across the roof of the shed, making low noises, as if utterly enraged.
After a series of screeching metal tearing sounds, large swaths of the roof were lifted.
These mutated monsters, which can no longer be called human, possess unimaginable explosive power, and their sharp and tough fingertips are enough to tear through steel, leaving shocking scratches one after another!
"Bow your head, bend over, Xu Hui, run quickly! I'm covering! ”
Meng Lei yelled at Xu Hui and the others, and according to the direction of the sound above his head, he chased the trajectory all the way down, shooting wildly, and sparks were splashed in the corridor.
At this time, the fat boss Ranny had already run out of this corridor passage.
Seeing that the situation was critical, he hurried outside, stood on the staircase with a wide field of vision, and raised his gun to shoot at the two monsters above the roof of the shed.
"Go to hell, you goddamn monsters!"
The crazy roar of filial piety was accompanied by the loud sound of gunfire.
Almost as soon as the shot was fired, the scorching bullet crossed the void tens of meters away and hit one of the monsters fiercely.
The powerful impact hit, and the monster stumbled, and suddenly stood a little unsteadily.
His feet slipped, and he screamed and fell down from a height of more than twenty meters.
Having lost the attack of a monster, several people suddenly felt a sudden decrease in pressure.
Meng Lei retreated in great strides while continuing to shoot, covering for Xu Hui and the others.
At this time, Simon and Hans also followed from behind.
However, they kept an eye out for movement under their feet.
Because there was a painted skin parasite, which was still hanging from the rope at the edge of the promenade, trying to attack from below.
But because the sides of the promenade were blocked by metal walls and glass, they could not see what was going on outside.
"You run forward, Xu Hui will hand it over to me!"
Hans hurried to the girl's side and picked up the girl from the ground, who was crying in despair with fear.
The girl nodded, gritted her teeth and mustered up her courage to swing desperately in pairs. legs, running towards Meng Lei's side.
However, before she could run too far.
The flat passage floor suddenly rises high upwards!
Five tentacles twisted like octopus limbs poked out of the ground in an instant, grabbed the girl's ankles, and pulled them down fiercely.
Looking at that posture, it seemed that he wanted to drag the girl out of the corridor by force.
"Ahh Help me! ”
The courage that the girl had just mustered collapsed again in an instant, screaming hysterically.
Hans was the closest, cursed at once, and then flew forward.
At the same time, he pulled out the diving knife stuck in his waist with his backhand.
After hitting the ground, he frantically slashed down at the monster's tentacles.
Suddenly, sticky and fishy blood spilled down the blade, spraying everywhere in the corridor.
Don't look at the claws at the tips of the tentacles of the Painted Skin Parasite, hard enough to tear through steel.
But the tentacle itself is extremely fragile and cannot resist the cutting of sharp weapons at all.
Hans cut off the monster's four tentacles in three or two strokes, and Simon followed, shooting at the ground under Hans' feet.
A terrible scream sounded, and the last tentacle wrapped around the girl's ankle suddenly retracted.
After a short delay, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded, and the crisis from below seemed to be lifted.
By this time, everyone had already run half the distance.
Simon simply pushed Karl away, directly carried Xu Hui on his back, and yelled at Hans as he ran:
"After you come to break, hurry!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the weak girl by the waist and ran towards the end of the corridor to kill her.
Simon, who is more than 1.8 meters tall, is like a yak.
With one on his back and one between his elbows, one with two people still walking like a fly.
Running all the way, the footsteps were heavy and amazing, and they were crazy in the corridor.
And with such a powerful cooperation, plus the three monsters that attacked everyone, two have already been killed.
The remaining one, also harassed by Lanny's firepower, had no time to attack the people in the passage.
In the end, several people finally crossed the sky corridor without danger and came to the platform of the high-rise building opposite.
"Quick, follow me!"
At this time, seeing that everyone was safely out of the trap, Lenny also put down the gun, waved his hand at everyone, and ran quickly down the stairs towards the second floor.
The crowd followed.
The second-floor area of this building is very large, at least hundreds of square meters.
The group descended the stairs, and Lenny ran to the front, pulling an access card from his pocket and swiping it at the entrance of one of the rooms.
With the sound of "drop", the closed door slowly opened.
Lenny dodged in and turned on the lights in the room.
Meng Lei and the others followed closely.
As soon as they entered the door, several people were panting against the wall desperately, and the girl was even more fartty. He sat down on the ground.
Even Simon, who has the best physical fitness, was so tired that after turning around and closing the door, he squatted on the ground and gasped.
Taking advantage of the short break, everyone looked around.
Only then did I realize that the room was full of stuff and had been completely converted into a warehouse.
Piles of cardboard boxes are placed in various corners, and there are many metal storage boxes, which are stacked in an orderly and neat manner.
The most obvious of these is a row of wetsuit cabinets on one side of the wall, there are one or two dozen of them!
Moreover, all the diving suits inside were all Meng Lei spent a lot of money before, and he only bought three sets of combat diving suits after reluctantly enduring the pain!
The crimson exterior looks mysterious and three-dimensional in the dimness, and it looks like a high-end product at first glance.
"I'll go, boss, your inventory is really rich! Just these dozen sets of diving suits, to say the least, will cost hundreds of thousands of marks, right?! That's amazing! ”
Jia Quan looked at Lenny's inventory in a stunned expression.
Lenny waved his hand disapprovingly, gasping:
"Amazing...... What's amazing, these goods are all from the company, and they are not my own.
To put it bluntly, I ...... I'm just a salesman who cares about the store, and these goods have nothing to do with my half a dime. ”
Hearing this, everyone had a new understanding of Lenny's identity.
Meng Lei gasped and asked curiously:
"Company? What is your company? Isn't it an institution of the Alliance? ”
Lenny shook his head and said, "Our company is an independent arms company, and it is only a cooperative relationship with the Alliance, not a subordinate ......."
Speaking of this, Lenny straightened up, took a deep breath, and said:
"Okay, okay, time is pressing, and other messy things will be talked about when they are out of danger."
With that, Lenny walked briskly to the wetsuit cabinet by the wall and beckoned:
"Quick! One person can wear a set casually, and let's go on the road immediately after putting it on! Don't delay! ”
Lenny waved his hand very boldly, and there was no reluctance in that expression.
Meng Lei glanced at Lanny thoughtfully, and then without thinking about it, he casually took out a diving suit and put it on his body.
The others also gathered around at the same time, no longer wasting time.
On the way over just now, the second batch of infected targets have already begun to move.
If you continue to consume it, I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave by then.
Just when everyone hurriedly put on their diving suits, the huge backpack that Huo Ye put aside suddenly shook itself twice.
Then, a slight karta sounded.
Everyone was stunned, and while continuing to dress, they surrounded them.
Lenny was the first to put on his wetsuit and stepped forward to open his backpack.
In the dim light, just look at the swift dragon egg, from the top position, began to crack all over the body, and there was a force constantly impacting inside.
Seeing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
"This guy is about to break his shell, so fast?!"
Jia Quan shouted in disbelief, a little incredulous.
"I noticed on the road just now, this thing is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems to be bigger than before.
It seems that eighty percent is about to hatch, which is really outrageous. ”
Huo Ye said in a deep voice beside him, and his eyes also flashed with an incredible light.
"I hope this little guy is powerful enough to help us save the day at a critical moment......
Meng Lei's tone was a little expectant.
Although he was in this tense life-and-death situation, he couldn't help but be a little curious.
This quagmire swift dragon juvenile, if it fights with the painted skin parasite, which is stronger or weaker.
However, in terms of size alone, the former does not seem to have any advantages, and I don't know what the actual situation is.
Several people put on their diving suits as fast as they could, and the little guy in the eggshell became more and more intense, and the cracks on the surface of the egg body became larger and larger.
But if you want to completely break out of the shell, it looks like it will take a while.
Meng Lei didn't have time to wait here, so he directly asked Huo Ye to pick up his backpack and take it to set off again.
Before leaving, Lenny took out some war supplies from the warehouse and asked everyone to take them.
Such as flashlights and the like, just in case.
Then, through the second platform of the building, through another sky corridor, back to the surface, and then non-stop in the direction of the shaft passage.
At this time, the corpses all over the streets and alleys were twitching more and more.
There are a few fast-growing parasites, and even seem to have completely completed parasitism, manipulating corpses to staggering from the ground.
The head was lowered, the limbs were weak, and the body was twisted and tried to stand.
That terrible sight, everyone who watched it had a numb scalp and couldn't help but sweat coldly.
Just imagine, a terrifying corpse with all its internal organs hollowed out suddenly got up from the ground again as if it had been cheated, and even the blood in its body did not dry up, and it gushed outward.
It was a bloody and horrific scene that most people would be devastated when they saw it.
What's more, a corpse like this is not a single corpse.
Almost all the corpses in the entire city began to try to stand, like evil spirits returning from hell, staring intently at the few people who were rushing for their way.
The greedy and tyrannical eyes are full of the desire to kill. Hope, chilling.
Fortunately, at this time, the parasite has not yet been able to completely control the host's actions.
Although the corpses were gradually recovering, they had not yet learned to run, and their movement speed was limited, and they could barely stand on their feet.
Meng Lei and his party galloped wildly surrounded by a group of corpses, although they felt boundless horror.
But fortunately, there is not much danger for the time being.
Those parasites that came back from the dead moved slowly, and the combat diving suits worn by Meng Lei and them were very light and close-fitting, so they would not cause much trouble to their movements.
Therefore, the humanoid monsters all over the street could only watch the crowd flash by.
Then he staggered behind, but he was never able to catch up with everyone.
However, this phenomenon is only temporary.
The good times didn't last long, and the speed at which the Painted Skin Parasite controlled the host's body far exceeded everyone's expectations.
When Meng Lei and the others had just run in the direction of the shaft elevator, they had run nearly half the distance.
The large group of painted skin parasites that were constantly chasing after them began to have a steady pace.
By the time they were two-thirds of the way through, the monster had learned to run.
And the most important thing is that almost all the corpses in the city have completed the recovery, and the road ahead for everyone is no longer a smooth road.
Every street, every alley, was filled with the roars of monsters.
Wave after wave of sound surged wildly under the dome, and for a moment, it was as if the whole world had turned into a paradise for monsters.
"It's over, we can't escape......"
Look at the hordes of painted skin parasites in front of you, and then look at the empty magazine in your hand.
Hans's gaze grew to despair.
The first batch of painted skin parasites turned by security officers are now mostly wreaking havoc in the living quarters.
Along the way, everyone's ammunition reserves could not be replenished at all, and one bullet was used for one less.
So far, there are only two people left in the team, Jia Quan and Meng Lei, who can barely make up enough bullets for a magazine.
But this level of ammunition is obviously not enough to support everyone to fight out of the encirclement and reach the position of the shaft passage.
Meng Lei gritted his teeth and simply threw the submachine gun in his hand directly to Simon.
Then, with his backhand, he pulled out the plasma pistol hanging from the belt of arms.
"Simon, I'll open the way, you cover!"
As he spoke, Meng Lei raised his arm and pulled the trigger fiercely at an alley full of painted skin parasites in front of him.
“piu~”
The brilliant green light flickered, and the misty green plasma light shot out from the muzzle of the gun.
Then, it fluttered straight ahead.
Where the trajectory passed, more than a dozen painted skin parasites were about to be killed, and different parts of the body melted into shocking wounds one after another.
But all the painted skin monsters on the trajectory path were all hit hard to varying degrees.
Simon saw the opportunity and pulled the trigger on the non-fatal parasites to make up the shots.
More than a dozen monsters died in a short period of time.
"Let's go!"
Meng Lei waved his hand and immediately took the lead and ran forward.
As soon as they got into the alley with their front feet, a large number of parasites swarmed behind them, rushing madly towards the alley.
The terrible roar made the scalps of everyone who listened to it tingle.
At this time, the abnormal movement in the backpack behind Huo Ye became more and more intense.
Suddenly, when everyone had just rushed into another alley next door.
A piercing and loud hissing sound came from Huo Ye's backpack, like a baby's first cry, resounding in all directions.
"Lao Huo! That little monster is out, quick, get it out! ”
The hearts of the people rejoiced.
And without waiting for Huo Ye to make a move, the coarse cloth backpack was torn apart from the inside.
Several sharp claws swung wildly, tearing the backpack to shreds!
A trumpet dragon about the size of a child of about three or four years old struggled to jump out of his backpack and jumped directly into the alley behind Meng Lei and them.
Huo Ye was suddenly shocked: "I'm a little ancestor, don't tear Lao Tzu's diving suit if you are a special mother!" ”
While roaring, Huo Ye shook his hand and threw his backpack on the side of the road.
The hatchlings of the Swift Dragon, which has just broken its shell, carry a curiosity about the world, as well as the tyranny and madness of the species instinct.
As soon as it landed, it began to hiss incessantly, showing a strong desire to eat and attack.
And at this time, a large group of painted skin infected people had already swarmed and roared, rushing to the front.
Young people are fearless.
The juvenile Swift Dragon is not afraid to face the painted skin monster that is several times larger than himself!
Perhaps attracted by the smell of blood on the body of the painted skin parasite.
It didn't pay attention to Meng Lei and the others behind him at all, staring at the flesh and blood feast in front of him, looking up to the sky and roaring, and directly slaughtered the past!
