Chapter 40: Give Me a Relief

At the same time, Manuka's squad is not very smooth at this time, although the team's firepower is sufficient, and the individual tactical quality of the team members is first-class, but they unfortunately encountered a wave of corpse mutations caused by some unknown factor, and the number of horrors is really unusually heavy compared to Manuka's ten-person squad, completely covering the firepower and tactical advantages, just like the current missile interception system, for a small batch of incoming missiles, these interception systems can completely achieve the double insurance of accuracy and efficiency.

But what if it's hundreds of rocket attacks? Not to mention that the interception system itself does not have so many missiles for interception, and even if there is, the accuracy and effectiveness of its interception will be greatly reduced, and at this moment, the team led by Manuka is also facing such a situation, in the absence of heavy firepower, this number of corpse variants is obviously not something they can deal with.

"Captain, there are too many of them! Let's get out of here! “

"Unlock this door behind us! We've been ambushed! ”

"Captain, our authority...... Yes! My shoulder, damn it, these monsters are about to shoot bone spurs! ”

Just like Ralph's method of trapping Du Jin and the two, when Manuka's team entered a hall, the air valve they entered was locked, and there was no serial connection to the ship's security system, and the technicians in the team had no way to lift the lockdown through the network level, unless they found an interface that could upload data, but in this situation of being surrounded by corpse mutants, where would there be the opportunity and time for him to find this rare interface? The alloy door itself is designed to prevent the intrusion of external equipment.

To add insult to injury, there are some abnormal mutants in these corpse variants, they not only have a dark yellow body surface color, but also can shoot bone spurs that are enough to penetrate the armor, which makes the technicians in the squad wearing light armor to facilitate carrying information equipment immediately hit, and Manuka is not sure whether there is a source of infection that causes mutation on the bone spurs, although he has not encountered a case of turning into a corpse mutant between living people, but not seeing it does not mean that there is not, in their experience, This is the first time we've fought these corpse mutants.

Even Manuka only learned from the battle reports of some front-line troops that some strange alien creatures had appeared in the border planetary colonies, but that was because his father McCasse also thought that it was just an excuse for those border troops to ask for military expenses, and he didn't care, and now Manuka looked at these monsters as if he understood something.

"Quick, Just, you take a few people to the side to break through and transfer their encirclement, there are too many of them, we don't have enough ammunition and troops, we have to find a way to break through!"

Manuka has a clear understanding of the current situation, he will not be like those half-commanders, just charge the troops and ignore the life and death of his soldiers, for him, these soldiers under his command are all brothers who train with him and can entrust his life, he can't do anything to run for his life, he just wants to leave his team alive at the moment.

Justed then led the three of them out of the makeshift bunkers, which were the chairs provided for the patients, which were also mixed with some bloodstained alloy bed boards, which could be seen everywhere in the medical deck, and the appearance of scattered places could show how many people were sent here at that time, and now these people may have become terrifying corpse mutants, and now they are likely to be mixed with this wave of corpse mutants.

These benches and alloy bed boards did not directly block the upper limbs wielded by those corpse variants, its role was limited to providing a fulcrum that could be erected for shooting, after all, there were still two electromagnetic machine guns in the squad, otherwise according to the continuous fire of the rifles, those corpse mutants would have rushed over and dismembered them, on the other hand, it was to block those flying bone spurs, although Manuka did not know what the dark yellow corpse variant that could shoot this bone spur was called, and what ability it was.

However, this "sharp weapon" that can completely penetrate the light exoskeleton armor has brought a lot of trouble to the team, and these temporary bunkers will also be penetrated, but the kinetic energy after the bone spur penetration will be much smaller, otherwise even the heavy armor will be penetrated by the continuous impact.

And the efficiency of the four Justs is indeed worthy of the title of personal guard, and a crack was opened at the edge of the corpse mutant tide, sharing the strength of the frontal impact, and just as Manuka was about to give the order to intersperse and leave along this crack, several corpse mutants with the shape of scorpions actually went down the ceiling at the bottom of the hall and came above the four Justs who were still shooting.

"Just! Get out of there with your people! Watch out above! ”

Just after looking at these scorpion-shaped corpse variants, Manuka immediately asked Justs and the others to retreat, and they didn't freeze in place, when they heard the warning in the Manukay communication channel, they didn't raise their guns to check the situation, but directly rolled out of the area where they were, but the speed of the four people couldn't be exactly the same, the person in front was obviously a step slower, and a scorpion-shaped corpse variant fell from the top, instantly knocking down the soldier who was about to leave, and then its huge "tail thorn" as thick as a thigh Pierced directly into the soldier's chest.

"Ahh Captain save me! ”

Immediately, a heart-rending sound came to the channel of everyone present, which made the people present chill, and in the three people not far from him, they shot at the scorpion-shaped corpse mutant that pounced on him, and this corpse mutant only took a few steps back, revealing the tragic state of the team members under him, only to see a blood hole directly in the center of his heavy armor, and one end of the tail spiny of the scorpion-shaped corpse mutant was pulled out of his body with a large amount of flesh and blood, obviously, this team member was probably hopeless.

"Damn! What kind of monster is this!? ”

Manuka also saw all this, this scorpion corpse variant could actually rely on its tail spur to penetrate the hard parts of heavy armor, you must know that this is the thickest part of the armor, far from the thickness of the armor at those joints can be compared, a violent sense of uneasiness spread from his heart, but basically he did not froze, Manuka suppressed the shock in his heart, held the trigger of a plasma grenade launcher attached under the electromagnetic rifle, and shot at the several scorpion corpse variants that were about to fall at the top of the hall.

"Whew---"

A blue round grenade shot out, and instantly came to the vicinity of several scorpion-shaped corpse variants, and it did not explode immediately, but first attached to the alloy wall at the top, and after a few quick flashes, a large amount of blue plasma like water gushed out, but these blue plasma was not attracted to the ground by the artificial gravity of the ship, but directly attached to the bodies of those corpse mutants.

"Roar! Roar! ---”

A large amount of gas was instantly emitted from the bodies of several corpse mutants, and the screams came from the faces of the corpse mutants that could no longer distinguish their mouths, and the intense heat and powerful instantaneous current caused these scorpion-shaped corpse variants to fall from the top to the ground, and then shrank their bodies and writhing on the alloy floor.

"Drag Evan back! I'll cover you! ”

Manuka raised the helmet mask on his hand, revealing his resolute and emaciated face, the plasma grenade will cause the disorder of the surrounding wireless signal in a short period of time, and it may also make some electronic devices that are not equipped with EMP protection directly fail, which is why he has not used it just now, after all, as a team commander, there is no way to use the communication unit inside the armor, so he can only raise the face shield of the helmet to convey orders through the human voice, and in the situation of the bone spurs of this corpse mutant, This practice is very dangerous.

If a bone spur stabbed Manuka in the face at this time, then he had absolutely no hope of survival, but his teammate's chest was pierced and a big hole was opened, and if he didn't pull Lai back, he was afraid that there would be no whole body, so Manuka could only risk his life to support his teammates and pull back the body of the soldier named Evan for them.

And Justed didn't hesitate much, the two kept and continued to fire, one leaned over and pulled Evan's body back behind the cover, the medic who was shooting immediately put down his gun and began to check Evan's injuries, but after a while, he could only shake his head at Manuka, and then also opened the face shield and said:

"Captain, Evan ....... His chest was pierced, and a part of his armor had collapsed into it, and even now that the trauma team was in front of him, there was no way to come back, unless the artificial organs were replaced immediately........."

Manuka's face was extremely gloomy, his brother and comrade-in-arms died in front of him, this sense of powerlessness made it unacceptable, and Evan's arm was slowly raised at this time, and Manuka leaned over to hold his hand, because the medic should have opened Evan's helmet, which allowed him to talk directly to Manuka, only to see him say in a weak tone like a gossamer:

"Team.. Thank you, Captain... Pull me back to ...... and give me an explanation.... Relief! ”

Looking at Evan's painful look and the blood foaming from the corners of his mouth, Manuka took out the laser pistol on his waist with tears in his eyes, put it on the top of Evan's face with some trembling, slowly put his hand on the trigger, and then pressed it down ruthlessly, only to see a short thick line appear on his forehead, and Evan tilted his head with a smile on his face.

"Damn corpse mutants!"

Manuka looked at her dead brother and let out a roar of rage, when an extremely harsh and loud sound suddenly came from behind the corpse morphs, which caused the tide of corpse morphs that were already about to break through to the front of the Manuka team.
