11. Skeleton Chaser
Li Nuo took the hammer from Mars's hand and glanced at the ground.
The private who died from the "Death Pulse" left behind a set of individual combat weapons, including a short-barreled rifle, a bag of ammunition, and a pistol.
Sergeant Mars understandably did not give his firearms to the sinners.
But why was there no soldier who collected the guns on the ground and brought them back?
Aren't they afraid that undead creatures will pick up guns and rush at them?
Belch...
Do undead creatures use guns?
Li Nuo was slightly stunned.
Like, it seems... Only in a few games does the setting have undead who wield firearms.
In most of his works, the undead are not interested in firearms, which are thermal weapons that can easily cause damage.
This may be a deliberate attempt by the author of the work.
However, Li Nuo is now in a real world, and he has to make up for the common knowledge about undead creatures as soon as possible, so as not to have an accident due to negligence.
Carrying the engineering hammer, Leno followed Sergeant Mars up the stairs and asked:
"Sir, wouldn't it be dangerous to leave your guns here? Will the undead hold guns against us? ”
Sergeant Mars remained vigilant against the skeleton soldiers before hearing Lino's question, occasionally looking back in the direction of the metal gate.
As soon as he heard Li Nuo's question, something strange appeared in the serious expression on his face.
"Undead use firearms?"
Sergeant Mars glanced at Li Nuo, his eyes were a little stunned, as if he didn't expect that the other party would focus on whether the undead would use guns or not when facing the skeleton pursuers...
Sergeant Mars didn't stop, thinking as he went, then shook his head slightly and said:
"No, the undead don't use firearms, at least not the low-tier undead classes.
"The IQ of the low-tier undead classes is so low that they can't figure out aiming and shooting. And the undead of the higher levels, they themselves are more formidable enemies than guns, and they don't need the help of guns.
"Leaving the guns here for the time being will allow us to retreat quickly. When the counterattack comes later, we will come back to collect the remains and relics of those two soldiers. ”
Li Nuo now solved his doubts.
Dare to love this firearm in the undead group, it is a kind of existence that is not high or low...
It's right to think about it, skeletons don't have a mind, so don't talk about using firearms, it's good to be able to pull a bow and swing a hammer.
At that moment, a bony thigh came through the crack in the metal gate.
A human-sized skeleton soldier squeezed into the stairwell from the other side of the door.
Sergeant Mars grabbed the short-barreled rifle in his hand, but instead of attacking, he pressed Lino on the shoulder and pulled the other man to continue to retreat.
The two of them pressed steadily at the end of the line, giving the soldiers their palace.
"Leave these slow skeletons alone. They walk very slowly and can't keep up with us. ”
Sergeant Mars whispered:
"The big skeleton won't catch up, it's too big, and the stairwell is too cramped for it. Our true enemy is a canine undead construct called the Skeleton Dog. ”
In Li Nuo's mind, the image of the skeleton dog he had seen in the game quickly came to mind.
It was an undead creature that was as nimble as a normal canine, moving fast and made of pure bone.
Stuck to this kind of undead class, it won't be a good thing.
"Bang bang!"
There were two loud bangs at the metal gate.
The crack in the door, which originally only allowed one skeleton soldier to pass through at a time, was forcibly knocked open by the strong force.
"Bang bang!"
Two more loud bangs.
The heavy metal gates were blasted open by fists the size of a basin, the work of the Great Skull.
Skeletons outside the door swarmed into the stairwell, slowly and unflinching, approaching the sergeants and sinners behind the hall.
"Keep retreating, don't do anything."
Sergeant Mars calmly ordered, let the soldiers move on, and added a few more words to Lenovo:
"When you wield the hammer, you'd better aim at the skeletons' heads and knock their heads off their necks. This won't take out a skeleton, but it will allow them to take some time to pick up their heads and slow them down. ”
"Yes, sir." Li Nuo nodded.
Sergeant Mars glanced up and down, taking in the other man's state:
"You were a little flustered when you first encountered the first Crypt Lurker. But in the aftermath, you're calm. You're a lot more reliable than I thought you would, keep it up. As long as you obey my orders, you can survive even if you are surrounded by skeletons. ”
"Yes, sir."
Li Nuo incarnated as a repeater, and thoroughly implemented the military code of "obeying orders", no matter what the sergeant said, he only had this sentence...
Sergeant Mars nodded slightly in satisfaction.
In the next second, there was a clear sound of running in the tomb passage on the first floor of the tomb. The sound was dense and rapid, coming from a group of creature on all fours.
"Attention, the skeleton dogs are coming."
Sergeant Mars flipped the short-barreled rifle in his hand, held the main barrel with both hands, and aimed the iron-filled butt at the front.
The rifle turned into a hammer at this moment.
The other soldiers did the same, using their rifles as hammers.
Li Nuo entered a state of strict preparation.
He lifted the hammer in his hand and steadily retreated as he stared at the metal gate.
Under his gaze, three skeletal dogs the size of teddy dogs emerged from under the crotch of the skeleton soldiers, and with four short but agile legs, they galloped towards the soldiers.
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the small and deadly skeleton troops, dispelling the idea of using deconstruction.
It's all because this little thing is similar to the skeleton dog he expected, and there is no need to spend energy deconstructing it.
As long as you don't get bitten by them, there shouldn't be any danger.
Seeing the skeleton dog galloping closer, Li Nuo's heartbeat gradually accelerated.
He took aim at the skeleton dog on the far left, taking in his every move.
The skeleton dog came up to Li Nuo, jumped up, opened its mouth full of fangs, and pounced on Li Nuo's neck.
Li Nuo seized the opportunity, let out a low roar, and slammed the engineering hammer in his hand, dealing a heavy blow to the opponent's little head worth 80 new Sauron coins.
After a crunch, the skeletal dog, which was heading straight for its prey, fell into a situation where its head was separated from its body.
Its head flew back into the graveyard like a baseball that had been knocked off.
The skeletal dog lost its head, and suddenly lost its ability to distinguish between direction and friend and foe, and staggered against the wall.
Li Nuo took the opportunity to hit the back buttocks of the skeleton dog, and came with a hammer blow worth 80 yuan, knocking the little thing away...
Sergeant Mars took a short-barreled rifle and made a small combo left and right to knock the heads of the two skeleton dogs flying.
He saw Li Nuo's performance and couldn't help but praise:
"Well done."
Li Nuo smiled and nodded at the other party.
A message suddenly came from the deconstruction core system, which made the smile on his lips rise even more, but it was quickly controlled by him.
After reading the system message, looking at the skeleton soldier and the skeleton dog again, Li Nuo's eyes had a fiery look.
