Volume 2 Mortal Glimmer Chapter 70 Strange Creatures
Hearing Chen Yu confirm that the sniper had been wounded and fled, Han Jie was suspicious and tried several times, but the gunshots never rang out.
He breathed a sigh of relief and directed the team to move on.
It's just that compared to before, the atmosphere of the team is much heavier, and everyone doesn't say a word. The students were basking in the loss of their peers with grief on their faces. Although the soldiers did not have much emotional foundation with the dead Huang Huang, it was inevitable that the rabbit would die and the fox would die.
Although it was already difficult to walk in the mud, the young students were stubborn enough to carry Huang Mingming's corpse. For a long time, Bai Fan and Bai Fan drove one of Huang Mingming's arms, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
According to them, there were seven people when they came, and none of them should be left behind when they returned, even if it would only drain their physical strength and even bring them unnecessary danger.
Chen Yu was also a little sad, in addition to witnessing the death of a young life under his nose, more because the performance of this mission would inevitably decline a lot. It was as if he had seen a lot of money go away because of the sniper's shot.
The homeless people of this era have experienced too much life and death, and they are about to become numb, and when it is none of their business, the extravagant emotion of empathy has long been consumed by life.
Chen Yu was still thinking about how that sniper could survive such a serious injury, was it really like what Han Jie said, he was not human?
Transcendent or mutant?
It also seems unlikely. The transcendents are already completely different from ordinary human beings, and the essentia after awakening will transform the bodies of the transcendents bit by bit. If that sniper was a transcendent, no matter what the sequence, it would be a dead end to take such a serious injury. In fact, the more likely outcome is not to be hit or to be unscathed.
As for the mutated creatures, Chen Yu had never seen anyone who could manipulate a firearm, even if they had evolved a species with good intelligence, the wild nature also had the upper hand in their bodies, and when fighting, they preferred to always have their own weaponized organs or natural abilities.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu subconsciously glanced back, and in the infrared vision, there were no infrared signatures of large life forms nearby.
The other party has indeed gone far.
At this moment, the rumbling sound of an engine suddenly sounded in the distance.
"It's our car."
Han Jie's heart was relieved, he had been worried for so long, and finally waited for a good news that the two soldiers who stayed in the vehicle were fine.
Ten minutes later, the team finally saw the military truck's army green livery. It's just that it's only been half a day, but everyone has a feeling of being in a different world. The students were in a trance, as if in a drowsy dream.
An off-road vehicle at the front of the convoy was starting, its engine rumbling, its windows closed, and the two windshield wipers waving at breakneck speed. The two soldiers who stayed behind were in the passenger seat, but they did not react when they saw their comrades and students walking towards them, and seemed to be asleep.
A soldier stepped forward and patted the driver's window, "Xiao Liu, don't sleep, give me the keys to the other cars." ”
Han Jie looked at this scene, and for some reason he was a little uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
He pressed the communication button on the walkie-talkie, and there was a sound of zra's electricity, and he was about to speak, but the intercom was the first to sound a stumbling sound.
"Team...... Long ......"
It was obviously Xiao Liu's voice, but Han Jie heard that his scalp was numb, like falling into an ice cave, because in his sight, Xiao Liu in the off-road vehicle had his teeth tightly closed, and there was clearly no mouth opening or talking.
When did Xiao Liu learn lip language?
This outrageous thought flashed through Han Jie's mind, and after that, he suddenly fell into a huge fear.
"Get out of that car!" Chen Yu shouted at the soldier standing next to the off-road vehicle.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and looked back at his captain in some confusion, trying to confirm something.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened.
The man on the SUV did not immediately get down, but raised his rifle in his hand and aimed it at the soldier on the side.
"Bang-"
A puddle of blood erupted from the soldier's left temple, and his head twisted unconsciously to the right, before his body collapsed.
"Xiao Liu, you're crazy!"
Han Jie's eyes were blood-red, and he also raised his gun, but he didn't have the courage to pull the trigger.
Seeing this scene, the other soldiers were also stunned, they watched Xiao Liu get out of the off-road vehicle, the blue smoke from the chamber of the assault rifle he was holding in his hand had not yet dissipated, and the index finger of his right hand was still on the trigger that was slightly pressed down.
The gun had just been fired, taking the life of a comrade, and at this moment, the muzzle of the gun was panning in the direction of the team.
These soldiers, who were not a few years older than the students, may have been ready to fight enemies or even mutated creatures, but when the enemy suddenly became comrades who lived with each other day and night, they didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, the captain was also out of a state of downtime, and for a soldier who was not very experienced, the commander's loss of concentration in hand-to-hand contact was obviously a fatal mistake, which could bring disaster to the team.
Chen Yu stayed awake and didn't give the soldier named Xiao Liu a chance to fire, and pulled the trigger faster than him.
"Boom-"
The double-barreled shotgun has been modified by Chen Yu, and in order to pursue the ultimate power, the barrel has been directly transformed to the point of madness.
At a distance of thirty meters, there was almost no need to aim, and Xiao Liu was blasted backwards at the same time as the gunshots rang out, and half of his body was already shattered.
Except for Chen Yu, who had long been used to it, almost everyone's eardrums rumbled, as if they had been hit hard.
Chen Yu didn't pay attention to the feelings of others, he took care of reloading the shotgun himself, and said to Han Jie with some dissatisfaction:
"Captain Han, are you going to protect the students like this?"
At this time, another person in the SUV was slowly raising his gun.
Hearing Chen Yu's words, Han Jie woke up like a dream, he gritted his teeth and shouted to the soldiers on the side: "Shoot!" ”
At this moment, in addition to struggling, he only has fear in his heart. If it weren't for Chen Yu's shot, under the strafing of the assault rifle, I don't know how many people would die in the team, and I, the captain, would have committed a sin that would be inextricable for eternity.
Dereliction of duty, cowardice, incompetence, the verdict of the sergeant court is secondary, and he will suffer self-condemnation that is more terrible than death.
"Captain......
A soldier was still hesitating, so he listened to Han Jie continue without questioning, "Fire, this is an order, and I will bear all the consequences." ”
Han Jie took the lead in firing the trigger, and several tongues of fire swallowed one after another.
The windshield burst into cobweb-like cracks, and then shattered, and the soldiers in the passenger seat were hit by a dense stream of bullets and turned into bloody corpses.
"Search Alert!"
Han Jie gave another order, and led the soldiers to check all corners of the convoy.
Chen Yu walked with his gun to the corpse of the soldier who only had half of his body left.
The corpse was lying flat, but the curve of the body was a little unnatural, like a ...... Lifted upwards by a hard object.
Chen Yu frowned and turned the corpse over, and the back of the corpse leaked out.
Chen Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, and on the spine of the corpse, there was a centipede-like creature nearly twenty centimeters long, with a metallic glow on the arthropods, and the secret numb feet poked into the flesh and blood of the corpse, still slightly undulating, and seemed to be alive.
Chen Yu took out the dagger and made another stab on its head, a large amount of blue-gray liquid splashed out from the wound, and a stinging and stabbing sound erupted from the place where the liquid fell, and then emitted an unpleasant sour smell.
This thing is highly poisonous.
Chen Yu had already avoided it, so he was not affected by the venom.
"Don't go near the corpse!" Chen Yu reminded the rest of the team.
His movements have long been seen by others, and everyone who sees this scene is a chill and their scalps are numb.
