Chapter 2: Nexter vs. Skeleton Monitor Lizard
Late at night, Packard was still not idle.
He found all the weapons in the remaining helicopters and ordered the soldiers to plant explosives in the jungle across the wetlands, then pour gasoline into the wetlands.
Gasoline spread across the water, and the pungent smell woke James and the others up.
"What does it smell like?"
The crowd hurriedly got up, and when they noticed Packard's movements, they immediately became puzzled.
"What does he want?" Weaver's brow furrowed.
Liszt, who was by the campfire, watched all the movements of these people and did not rest.
He laughed, "They want revenge, they want to kill that monster." ”
"What?"
Hearing this, Landa suddenly became excited.
"No, that monster is probably the only Titan in existence, and if it were killed like that, it would be a loss for all of humanity."
Liszt smiled, indeed, the little King Kong is dead, who else can fight against other Titan Behemoths in the future?
It's still a bit reluctant to rely on Godzilla alone.
Mr. Ge's peak state is very unstable, and he needs a lot of prerequisites, and if there is no King Kong to delay time, Mr. Ge will suffer a lot in the future.
But the old fellow Randa still thinks too much.
Human weapons are capable of killing the current juvenile body of King Kong, but not these gasoline and cannonballs.
Skull Island is blessed with unique conditions that can block the locking of the strongest human weapon, and also intercept the dangers of the outside world, eliminating the possibility of being discovered by Godzilla, which gives King Kong time to develop.
King Kong only needs to deal with the skeleton monitor lizards on the island, and human weapons are a threat to him, but not much.
For Liszt, the trajectory of the world does not require his intervention.
But. He came here just to have fun, how could he let the plot develop?
Thinking, he sat by the campfire and stopped talking, but Randa was going to talk to Packard, and he wanted to stop these guys from killing themselves.
"Hey, Packard, you can't do that."
Randa stepped forward to speak, when he was targeted with weapons by a group of soldiers.
"What are you doing?" Landa didn't dare to move suddenly, and James and the others were also nervous.
Packard warned the crowd, "Everything I do now is to avenge my soldiers, and if you stop me, don't blame me." ”
Randa was so angry that her beard trembled, "That's your own decision-making mistake, it was you who gave the order to bomb the island when you didn't know it, it was you who killed your soldiers, what does it have to do with that monster?" ”
Packard snorted, "I just look at the results, the monster killed my soldiers, and I want to take revenge." ”
Hearing this, Liszt glanced at the guy.
"No matter which vest it is, the braised egg head is quite annoying, and I won't save you this time."
After saying that, he turned his head upside down on the grass and looked at the stars.
And Landa and the others were controlled, and Packard also began to give orders.
"Boom~~"
Suddenly, the jungle on the opposite side of the wetland erupted in flames one after another, and the raging flames engulfed a large area of the forest, and the birds and beasts in the forest fled in panic, but they did not have time to escape from the shadow of death, and were gradually swallowed by the flames.
Smoke rose into the sky, and the island's patron saint was awakened by the movement.
"Knock~~"
The earth trembled slightly, and in the firelight in the sky, a huge black shadow slowly emerged.
"It's coming!" Packard's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the massive monster in the sea of fire.
"Puff~"
Looking at the charred animal carcasses in the sea of fire, King Kong slowly spewed hot air from his mouth and nose, and the anger surged into his heart, making him unstoppable and punching his chest.
"Aang!!"
A roar resounded through the night sky, and King Kong was furious.
Then, the wetlands ahead burst into flames again.
This is a signal flare for humanity.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not hesitate to run to the wetland, wading towards the source of the disaster.
"Knock knock~~~puff~~"
The huge figure waded in the water, and the wild aura quickly swept through everyone.
Randa shuddered, "Packard, stop, you're no match for him. ”
Packard didn't listen to the advice and stared at King Kong, who was more than halfway through the water.
"It's now!"
"Boom!!"
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers ignited gasoline on the surface of the water one after another.
In an instant, the sea of fire quickly spread to this wetland, and the raging flames climbed up King Kong's hair, and the upheaval made him roar in terror, and hurriedly slapped the flames on his body.
But his body was stained with gasoline, and the terrible flames could not be extinguished, and even rolling in the water could not stop the flames from spreading.
There was a hot pain on his skin, and King Kong's roar became more and more poignant.
Looking at the monsters struggling and wailing in the fire, Packard had a happy smile on his face.
"Hahaha, this is your retribution!!"
But as soon as the words fell, the night sky covered with flames suddenly became cloudy, and the thunder began to rain heavily.
"Wow~~"
The heavy rain fell, and the fire in the wetland was quickly extinguished, and the flames on the Vajra hair were also extinguished.
Seeing this, Packard was shocked.
"Impossible, how can it be so fast!"
The purity of military gasoline is not the kind of parallel goods of civilian gasoline, how can it be washed away by the rain in an instant?
The trap that had been painstakingly laid out was destroyed by a heavy rain, and Packard's eyes lit up with despair as he watched the terrible figure come towards him.
"Whoa~"
The swamp water rushed to the shore, and the giant monster waded over Packard's head.
"Aang!!"
"Boom!!"
With a roar, a fist comparable to a bus crashed down in front of Packard, and the violent shock instantly knocked Packard to the ground, injuring his internal organs and oozing blood from his mouth, nose and eyes.
But he still stared at King Kong with hatred.
However, the imaginary death did not come.
After spotting no threatening weapon, King Kong glanced at Packard and turned away.
This made Packard even angrier.
But at this time, he was no longer able to speak, and if he didn't treat his internal organs quickly, he couldn't live to leave the island.
As for the other soldiers, they had already been frightened by King Kong, and it took a long time for them to recover and gather around Packard for simple treatment.
On the other side, Landa and the others came back to their senses and couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Titan Behemoth.
"A magical world, a magical product of nature."
"Why didn't he kill Packard?" James couldn't figure it out.
Weaver guessed, "Maybe humans are no different from other animals in his eyes!" ”
Randa nodded, "It shows that he has no ill will towards humans, but what happened to the heavy rain just now, it was very cold, and it gave me a terrible feeling." ”
Shan crouched down and observed the plants around her.
"The plants are not affected by the rain, it is probably the rainwater that is unique to the island, and the island's recycling system is self-contained, creating a unique ecological environment, and rainwater is also part of it."
James nodded, "Sounds reasonable." ”
But only Liszt knew that the heavy rain was not caused by the special environment of Skull Island.
The true god of Skull Island is not King Kong, but
"Frightened~~"
Suddenly, a vicious wind rushed through the forest, and the terrible dark monster rushed into the crowd and snatched a soldier away, and then rushed into the forest in the blink of an eye, and the crowd did not react at all.
"Shet, what kind of monster again!"
"Jack was captured."
"Colonel Packard, what shall we do?"
The soldiers were in confusion, and Liszt got up and said to the crowd: "It's not safe here, it's time to leave." ”
Weaver frowned, "Operation Dark will be more dangerous. ”
Liszt pointed to the traces of King Kong's passing, "Follow him, and the danger will be minimized." ”
"Makes sense!"
Landa said: "The breath of the monster can make other beasts fearful, he must be the strongest creature on the island so big, while his breath has not disappeared yet, leave quickly." ”
"Okay."
The group set off overnight, followed by the rest of the soldiers.
Apparently, Packard had this in mind.
Sure enough, following the footprints of the monster until dawn, everyone did not encounter a sneak attack by unknown creatures.
On the waterfront, James and Weaver fetch water to prepare breakfast.
"Mou~~"
Suddenly, the small island of the reef on the shore trembled, and the huge creature covered with moss and aquatic plants suddenly got up, and the roar like a buffalo suddenly startled everyone.
"What a big buffalo!"
In the shallow water, the five-meter-tall terrifying bull got up and shouted, and then slowly turned around in front of everyone, ready to find a place to sleep again.
Seeing that the giant buffalo showed no signs of attacking, Landa and the others and the soldiers were relieved and immediately laid down their weapons.
"It seems to be a very tame creature." Landa hurried to take pictures of the buffalo.
"Reef Bull Demon, what's the name?" Liszt suddenly laughed.
Randa's eyes lit up, "Good name, but I prefer to name him after me, Landa Big Buffalo." ”
The corners of Liszt's mouth twitched, "The old thing is shameless." ”
"Lee, I found something very strange."
Shan suddenly said to Liszt: "From the beginning to the present, you don't seem to be surprised by everything here, let alone afraid. ”
As soon as these words came out, James and the others were also curious.
Packard, who was next door, also heard this, and looked at Liszt with the same puzzled eyes.
He's been here!
The thought popped into his mind.
Liszt, however, replied calmly: "I said last night, my wife is here, and this is half of my home." ”
got another joking answer, and everyone looked helpless.
"Li, your wife can't be some big monster, right?" Landa teased.
Liszt said with a serious face: "She is not a monster, but she likes to raise monsters, and for this matter, the family is about to be poor, so I suggested that she leave the house and come here, you know, a man can't support his family's inferiority complex and pain." ”
At this, he sighed uncontrollably, hating his own incompetence.
Hey, hey, my wife ran away from home, and there is nothing happier than this.
Regarding Liszt's behavior, everyone only felt that he was a psychotic again.
Not humorous at all!
Suddenly, Liszt glanced at the wetland hills, got up and said, "I'll go urinate for a minute." ”
"Be careful, there are a lot of extinct paleontology here, and poisonous insects are dangerous." Shan reminded.
"Got it."
Liszt trotted into the woods.
Weaver looked at Shan, "Aren't you a botanist?" ”
"Yes, but my dad is a paleontologist."
"Who's your dad?"
"My dad is a monster!"
"Monsters?"
Weaver saw that Shan's eyes were frightened, and she reacted suddenly.
Turning around, I saw that the lonely reef bull demon just now had been bitten off by the terrible creature at this time, and the giant lizard with only two legs was full of blood, and turned to look at everyone.
"Oh my God, a giant lizard twenty meters long!"
"Its eyes are like black holes, and it has no eyeballs!"
"Disgusting guy, like a skeleton~~"
Everyone stiffened, and the skeleton monitor lizard slowly approached everyone.
The next moment, the soldiers pulled the trigger and released fire on the monitor lizard, and the dense bullets fell on the surface of the monitor lizard's body, but they were only embedded in the skin and could no longer be inched, unable to cause effective damage.
"Oh Shet, what a monster!"
"Cover! Fall back! ”
"Frightened!"
Because of the attack of the soldiers, the skeleton monitor lizard completely unleashed a brutal scene, rushed into the crowd and roared, and slapped a soldier away with a flick of its tail.
"Let's go~~"
Terrible creatures attacked the crowd, and the group immediately scattered and fled like headless flies.
James and the others were lucky not to be targeted by the skeletal monitor lizard.
They fled into the jungle, and then remembered Liszt.
"Oops, Lee and we are separated."
Under the giant tree, James and the others gasped, very helpless about it.
"Click~"
Before they could begin to look for Liszt, the pungent stench came to the wind again.
The disgusting mucus drips onto the ground full of fallen leaves, and the moment the mucus comes into contact with the fallen leaves, it corrodes, the white smoke drifts away, and everyone subconsciously covers their mouths and noses.
And in front of them, the skeletal monitor lizard's head like a car was staring at them.
Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened and they subconsciously held their breath.
His heart began to beat faster, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, his whole body was weak, and his hands and feet were weak.
At close proximity, the most primitive fears of human genes are activated by giant creatures beyond cognition, and no one can stay awake at this moment, no matter how calm.
"Frightened~~"
The monitor lizard leaned over and slowly sniffed at the scent of humans.
After determining that it was an edible creature, the skeleton monitor lizard cracked open the pitch-black jaw and was about to swallow everyone in one gulp.
"Ahh
Shan couldn't hold back her screams at first.
"Wow!!"
"Boom~~"
In the next moment, the imaginary devouring and biting did not come.
With a terrible scream from the skeleton monitor lizard, the earth shook, and the tree trunks made an overwhelming crunching sound one after another.
In the horrified eyes of everyone, a "giant" in mottled armor grabbed the monitor lizard's throat, ran wildly, wrapped its body around the monitor lizard, crushed the giant trees, and finally crashed it straight into the hill.
"Boom!!"
The skeletal monitor lizard sank into the rubble of the mountain, and the giant raised his hand and punched his head out, sending disgusting black blood flying out, and everyone reacted.
The giant was only ten meters tall, far less than King Kong's size, the silver armor on his body was mottled and old, the wing-like red crystals on his chest were dull, and his oval eyes flickered and dimmed, making people unforgettable.
Landa was shocked, "Oh my God, there are still humanoids on the island!" ”
"He saved us."
"Look, his body is starting to glow!"
"Oh my God, he's gone, and he's turned into a particle of light."
"He seems to be very different from the previous monsters, as if he is. Specially to save us. ”
The crowd was taken aback by the thought. (End of chapter)
