Chapter 112: Frozen

On the morning of June 1, the second day of the operation at the Senas nuclear power plant.

After more than 20 hours of blasting, excavation and sniping, Leon and others successfully destroyed nearly one-third of the walls inside the nuclear power plant, and more than 50 special mutated zombies were beaten into a sieve by the heavy machine guns of the M1A1 main tank during the raid.

Not only did it provide a lot of special materials for the Virus Research Center, but it also gave Leon a more reliable speculation in his mind.

At the beginning, when they first explored the inside of the nuclear power plant, they only killed less than ten special mutant zombies, and the monster with pink tentacles suddenly attacked them, obviously caring about those special zombies.

And this time, Leon and the others made such a big movement here, which lasted for more than twenty hours, and still did not see the appearance of the monster.

Either the monster has left and doesn't know the situation here, or the tentacle monster is not as strong as imagined, it has at least ordinary animal-level intelligence, understands what is the enemy is strong and I am weak, and does not dare to fight hard with so many tanks and planes.

Thinking of this, although Leon's face was still calm and fearless, there was a trace of anxiety in his heart.

Unlike previous operations with zero casualties, this combat mission is extremely dangerous, and so far, five members of the demolition team have been killed or injured.

In the process of their operation, they were attacked by those special mutated zombies hiding in dark corners.

The long-range bile attack of the Corruptor is really unstoppable, extremely fast, and the range and accuracy are amazing, two people have lost their lives directly, and the other three have been amputated by emergency medical personnel because the place where they were attacked is not fatal, and they have become disabled, thus saving their lives.

Although the personnel of this operation were carefully selected, and the employees under him were relatively brave, if a large number of casualties continued, it would seriously affect the confidence and courage in the follow-up work.

However, after Leon sent more than a dozen snipers and more cautious arrangements, the two subsequent raids of the special mutant zombies did not achieve any results, but instead lost a considerable number and weakened the strength of the monsters.

Finally, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after the desperate efforts of the employees, the blasting team and the engineering team had pushed the progress of the blasting wall closer, less than 80 meters away from the nuclear reactor.

According to the route on the blueprint, they only need to destroy three more walls and they will be able to see the location of the reactor with their own eyes.

However, perhaps this distance touched the psychological bottom line of the pink tentacle monster, and when the demolition team completed the blasting of this wall, suddenly from the corridors at both ends of the wall, eight huge pink tentacles dozens of meters long stretched out.

The roots of these tentacles are the size and thickness of a water tank, and the whole is wrapped in green slime, the edges of the tentacles are also covered with sharp teeth the size of daggers, the suction cups at the bottom are dense and powerful, and the back of the tentacles is also covered with countless black and white eyeballs that make people palpitate and sick.

As soon as these disgusting tentacles appeared, they straightened out at an extremely fast speed, flying wildly and slapping the ground, easily slapping the concrete stones left over from the blasting on the ground, smashing them into the surrounding targets like solid cannonballs.

However, the employees of the demolition team and the engineering team had already fled to a distance of 100 meters, and the only thing that remained within the attack range of the pink tentacles was 20 M1A1 main tanks and Black Hawk gunships hovering in mid-air.

The flight distance of these concrete stones is too low to hurt the helicopter in the sky, and in the face of powerful modern tanks, even if the stones are smashed, they can only leave a shallow scratch on the armor coating of the M1A1 main tank.

Seeing the main protagonist appear, Leon narrowed his eyes and gave the attack order to the tank corps and helicopter group in a serious tone.

"Fire, fire for me!"

"Don't use guns and missiles!"

After receiving the order of the big boss, the drivers could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts, and turned on the shooting mode one after another, and pressed the fire button of the heavy machine gun.

In an instant, more than fifty heavy machine guns immediately began to roar violently, and countless large-caliber bullets made of steel poured down on those pink tentacles.

Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da!

However, the power of these machine gun bullets did not achieve the effect that Leon expected, and the muscle density of the tentacle monsters was beyond the range of ordinary creatures, and the machine gun bullets hit them, only exploding holes the size of bowls, but they could not penetrate and could not cause more serious damage to the tentacles.

However, the tentacle monster didn't seem to be painless like a zombie, and a few seconds after the heavy machine gun fired, the eight huge pink tentacles retracted back into the wall at great speed, followed by a sharp beast roar like a fur seal, and rushed out of the building.

The sound was so loud that even Leon, who was a few hundred meters away, felt a tingling in his eardrums.

There was a brief silence on the battlefield for more than ten seconds, and Leon's intuition seemed to play some role, and he immediately commanded in a concise tone:

"Tank troops, helicopter troops, keep a safe distance of more than 100 meters."

"This monster is going to fight back."

Less than 30 seconds after Leon's words fell, everyone saw a giant creature with a pink body and a head full of huge eyeballs, and the size of an octopus squeezing out of the inner corridor of the nuclear power plant.

It had eight stout tentacles tens of meters long, with a head length of more than twenty meters, and as soon as it emerged from the corridor, it coiled in a clear field, and the eight tentacles grabbed the rocks on the ground very nimbly, and hurled them towards the tanks and helicopters that surrounded it.

However, the Black Hawk gunships in the sky had already flown to an altitude of two or three hundred meters after receiving Leon's order, and the stones thrown at them fell weakly after flying nearly 100 meters.

The concrete stones thrown at the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank, although they smashed several dents in the defensive armor of several tanks, did not cause real damage to them, and could not cause any damage to their combat effectiveness.

Looking at the pink octopus monster running out through the screen, Leon quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a mutated octopus, but fortunately, it wasn't a strange species beyond human imagination.

It's just a little strange, why is there a mutated octopus monster in the nuclear power plant in the inland area?

Looking at the octopus tentacle monster that seemed to be in a state of rage, Leon forcibly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and ordered in a deep voice:

"Tank troops, jet armor-piercing shells ready."

“3,2,1。”

"Launch!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

20 jet armor-piercing shells bombarded the mutant octopus monster's head at three times the speed of sound in a continuous cannon roar, directly blasting its head open 20 bucket-sized holes, and thousands of degrees of high-temperature metal heat streamed directly into the monster's head, burning its internal organs into black billowing smoke.

However, with another terrible fur-dog-like roar, the mutated octopus monster was not injured and died.

Its eight pink tentacles rolled on the ground like a python, and its huge head rushed to the vicinity of the M1A1 main tank group in a matter of seconds with a boar-like charge.

The octopus monster waved its tentacles, roared with all its might, and put its tentacles under the chassis of the three M1A1 main tanks, and under Leon's solemn gaze, in an instant, he used his brute force to overturn the M1A1 main battle tank weighing dozens of tons.

Boom! The huge tank smashed to the ground, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

Although it didn't cause much damage, such brute force still made Leon gasp.

No wonder it can twist warriors in alloy armor like twisted flowers.

And what shocked Leon even more was that although the jet armor-piercing bullet had caused great damage to this monster, in just a few tens of seconds, he found that the wound on the octopus monster had stopped bleeding, and even had traces of slight contraction.

This monster also apparently has a strong ability to heal itself.

It seems that it is difficult to solve it in a short period of time with armor-piercing bullets alone, and if it drags on for too long, it is likely that this intelligent monster will run away or switch the target of attack, and harm ordinary employees without armor protection, which is an unacceptable result for him.

Leon's voice was silent for a brief two seconds, and a new order was immediately issued.

"Black Hawk Helicopter Group, Plan B."

"Instructor Lily, drive the Apache gunship over, you're needed here."

After Leon's order was given, the tank group besieging the octopus monster also began to move rapidly, they used their high mobility to constantly attack the head of the octopus monster with heavy machine guns and armor-piercing shells, beating the monster to the point of screaming, and one or two unlucky eggs were chased by the monster and turned over like a king.

However, through the cooperation of the helicopter team and the tank group, they quickly lured the octopus monster out of the range of the nuclear reactor, when the monster was lured away to a clearing 100 meters away.

A Black Hawk gunship flew over the head of the octopus monster, and the huge missile on the base began to flicker and shoot towards the monster at a very fast speed, but it was not so much flying past, but it was smashed under the blessing of gravity.

With a bang, a switch inside the huge missile was turned on, its shell split in two, and a large amount of smoke-emitting transparent liquid inside the missile was directly splashed on the octopus monster's body.

Multiply! Multiply! Multiply!

A large amount of white smoke rose into the air, and the octopus monster let out a strange roar, trying to move its body away from the transparent liquid.

But soon, the other Black Hawk gunships also acted very decisively, and four huge missiles like the same as just now smashed into the octopus monster's body one after another, and the transparent liquid inside emitted billowing white smoke, wrapping the octopus monster in the middle.

After more than ten seconds, the pink monster seemed to have been pressed a pause button, and its movements became slower and more difficult, until the fine hoarfrost covered its body, and the octopus monster could no longer make any movements.

However, the matter was not over, the white cold fog that enveloped the monster had not yet dissipated, and in the hum of the huge propeller, the huge Apache gunship hoisted an equally large container and came to the top of the octopus monster.

After a switch in the container was turned on, like pouring boiling water from a boiling water bottle, a transparent stream of water emitting a cold mist, straight and straight, poured directly down on the monster's head, covering its body continuously.

It is loaded with specially treated liquid nitrogen, which is extremely cold and can cause severe frostbite to flesh and blood.

Dozens of tons of liquid nitrogen were poured on the monster for five or six minutes, until no more liquid flowed out of the container, and the monster was frozen into a hard lump of ice, and finally stopped.

After the freezing was over, not only the octopus monster, but even the concrete floor was covered with a layer of white frost, and everyone held their breath and stared at the octopus monster covered in white frost, waiting with fear, afraid that it would be able to move again.

However, although this octopus monster has undergone a special mutation, it is still a carbon-based creature after all, not a virus carrier like a zombie, and it is wrapped in the ultra-low temperature of more than 190 degrees below zero with liquid nitrogen, adding up to more than 10 minutes before and after, and all its body tissues are frozen by the ultra-low temperature of liquid nitrogen, and it can no longer make any moves.

However, even so, Leon, as the commander, still adhered to a cautious attitude, did not hesitate, and immediately issued a follow-up order.

"Tank corps, replace steel-core armor-piercing shells, conduct sustained fire."

"Yes, Commander!"

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

In the next ten minutes, the remaining dozen or so M1A1 main tanks all aimed at the frozen head of the octopus monster.

At the fastest loading speed, each tank poured at least 30 rounds of steel-core armor-piercing shells, until the monster's brain was bombarded into a dozen frozen pieces of flesh, and then the special research staff put on perfect protective clothing and ran to deal with the corpse of the octopus monster.

Professor Jacob and several of his students, escorted by elite soldiers led by the Daryl Moore brothers, put on radiation protective suits, entered the remnants of the nuclear power plant facility to carry out the mission of shutting down the Senas nuclear power plant.

It was busy until dusk, until Professor Jacob finished shutting down the nuclear power plant, until the pink octopus monster, which was cut into countless pieces, large and small, by a dozen logistics staff using large cutting machines, and packed into several different trucks.

Leon really let go of all the worries in his heart.

On the whole, the combat mission of the Senas nuclear power plant was carried out quite successfully, although five crew members suffered heavy casualties, and more than a dozen fighters suffered minor injuries of varying degrees because the tank was overturned.

But the umbrella company only paid a very small price to remove a huge security risk.

According to Professor Jacob's observations and analysis, the Umbrella Company lacks the knowledge and personnel to maintain the plant, and even if the Senas nuclear power plant has been captured by them, it is almost impossible to continue to use it.

At present, the only way to do this is to seal all the nuclear materials and nuclear waste related to the reactor from the nuclear power plant in the fifth floor of the underground fortress, where there are special warehouses for such items.

Prevent these items from luring more zombies to mutate, and avoid the emergence of more difficult super monsters like octopus monsters.

This suggestion was of course accepted by Leon, who commanded his troops to spend a day looting all the valuable items in the entire nuclear power plant, and then returned to the Fort Benning military base with his troops cleanly.

Of course, the sample of the corpse of the octopus monster was transported to Dr. Melfa's laboratory as quickly as possible in the evening of the same day.

He couldn't stand the doctor's fanatical curiosity and professional attitude, and at the same time, he hoped that this top expert in virology could bring him more unexpected gains from the corpse of the octopus monster.

Just like the previous spider monsters, the special spider silk and super anesthetics obtained.

At present, when it is difficult to improve the ability of scientific and technological research, these equipment and items made of special materials can often play an unimaginable role.

Just like the Guardian armor, if this armor is placed in peacetime, with its practicality and popularity, I am afraid that it can be exchanged for hundreds of billions of wealth from the hands of those consortia or the military.
