Chapter 235: Kind of Kind (I)
Like the Butcher, as an elite version of the monster in another mutant form of the living corpse, the Ripper is far more troublesome than the Butcher. They are much thinner and smaller than butchers, and liliang is far inferior to butchers. The claws and speed of the Ripper make it more terrifying than the Butcher. More like an Assassin's ripper, they will use their advantage to dissect their prey alive.
At that time, if Zero had encountered a Ripper instead of a butcher in Silvertree City, Zero would probably never have been able to get out of the hospital's basement entrance.
Now, even though Zero and the other three team members are all promoted abilities, they don't want to let a Ripper get close to them. But the Ripper's body is more flexible and has a much sharper sense of danger than the Butcher. Zero's marksmanship finally failed on it, and all the shots missed, and the Ripper avoided Zero's shot with a zigzag trajectory. As for the two machine guns of Su and Feng, they couldn't even touch the corners of their clothes.
Neither of them has a shooting specialty, and with machine guns in their hands, they can only be used to block the movement of ordinary living corpses. You can't even catch the Ripper's movements, let alone kill it.
With a few turns, the Rippers crossed their fire blockade and approached the store in the blink of an eye.
"Get out of the way!"
Matthei yelled, and the big man held a flamethrower in the gap. The fingers snapped down, and in an instant, a long dragon shot out of the jet and slammed it towards the Ripper.
However, the Nurse Ripper suddenly became short, and then in a sliding position, he dodged the fire dragon and slid into the store from Matthei's step.
"!"
Kaede cursed, threw away the machine gun, and the Tang knife came out of its sheath and slashed at the Ripper like lightning.
The Ripper snapped up, its black, sharp fingers grabbing the frosty blade like sharp blades, sending out a cloud of sparks and making a tooth-sore sound.
While catching the Tang Knife, the Ripper also grabbed Kaede's face with one claw. If you catch it, I'm afraid that Kaede's head will explode. Although Feng was not stunned, the Tang Dao shook slightly, but it swung open the claws of the tearer with a wonderful force. Frost slashed back, slashing at the wrist of the Ripper's other hand.
These few fights were all completed in the snap of his fingers, from Feng taking the initiative to attack, to Tang Dao being restrained, and now to the frost backlash, only two seconds have passed.
Cold lightning swept through the wrist of the ripper, and Kaede slashed the monster's palm off with a single sword. Dark red blood spurted from the severed wrist, and the tearer made a wounded sound. It just wanted to fight back, but it seemed to sense something, and suddenly moved sideways.
At the same time, gunshots rang out.
The bullet grazed the ripper, past Kaede's ear, shaving off a few hairs, and Zuihou shot a hole in the wall behind them. Behind the Ripper, there is Zero who makes a shooting action.
Kaede snorted, if the bullet deviated a little, it would definitely blow off half of his head.
On the other side, Zero didn't have time to pay attention to Kaede. The two guns in his hands fired one after another, forcing the tearer to keep away from everyone. I saw bullets burst out and sparks from the ground to the shelves, climbed up to the ceiling, and finally landed on the wall on the other side of the mall. It marked the trajectory of the Ripper's movements, and the monster was always one line faster than Zero's shots, thus luckily avoiding all bullets.
Card.
The two guns were empty, and Zero didn't even have time to replenish the bullets, because the Ripper took the opportunity to pounce on him again. I saw this monster land on the ground like a wild beast, and it came in a blink of an eye. It pounced on Zero, and the remaining three paws with one hand and two feet were catching Zero.
Unexpectedly, Zero threw away the two guns. With a slight shock on his shoulder, he bounced Colt hanging behind his back, grabbed it with both hands, and the barrel was stretched out, moving slightly, but it was aimed right at the Ripper.
An almost cruel smile appeared on Zero's face as his fingers pulled the trigger.
In a flash of fire in the muzzle of Colt's gun, the Ripper's right foot slammed into Zero's body, sending Zero flying as it instantly changed direction and moved sideways to the left.
Bang!
The tongue of fire that erupted from the barrel of Colt's gun grazed the Ripper, and the impact of the bullet directly wiped a large patch of skin blood from the monster's right chest. The Ripper's clothes burst and blood flew all over the place, but it didn't shoot and fell back to the ground gasping for breath.
It didn't have time to rejoice, and a sharp sound came into its ears.
The Ripper turned his head to look to his left, his eyes reflecting Kaede's sword-wielding figure.
The frost suddenly disappeared in Kaede's hand, and when it reappeared, it turned into three sword rays of light in the shape of hooks, and the shape of eagle claws staggered across the body of the tearer.
The powerful momentum caused Kaede and the Ripper to stagger over, and Zuihou slid through three meters to stop.
With a bang, the Tang knife was sheathed. Three terrifying rifts appeared on the Ripper in the back, and these three rifts cut the Ripper into several pieces of minced flesh. It won't understand until it dies that Zero's muzzle moved slightly to allow the Ripper to hide to the left. On the left, it is where the maple is.
As it turned out, Kaede used a fencer's skill called "Eagle Claw" to directly cut the monster into pieces.
The Talon is a blade that performs three consecutive slashes at a rapid speed, while releasing a shockwave similar to a wind-pressure slash, beckoning the opponent at different angles and times. If the opponent can't parry, it will end up like a few pieces of minced meat like the Ripper.
The torn were dismembered, but they were not dead for a while. The mouth on the face kept opening and closing, and it gnawed the ground like this. Zero walked over, picked up the pistol on the ground, and fired a shot at the back of the monster's head before it came to a complete standstill.
In the store, the cooperation of Zero and Kaede solves a ripper. And outside the store, the remaining living corpses are also taken care of by Su. Su launched a "savage charge" towards the few remaining living corpses, and all the living corpses on the trajectory of her cross-shouldered charge all the way fell to the ground and flew away. These living corpses just don't die and can't get up again. Su's savage ram is no joke, and when fully activated, the impact is no different from that of a speeding truck. Rubbed by tons of huge force, the living corpses were all broken flesh and bones.
After making sure that there were no more living corpses standing at the scene, a few people breathed a sigh of relief. The four of them left immediately, but after walking some distance, Zero stopped them and turned back.
The four of them sneaked back into the store, lying on the ground and peering through the gap in the wall.
Looking at the dark street outside the gap, Matthei was puzzled, "Captain, what are we doing here?"
"An assumption. Zero said something confusing, and then he explained: "I'm assuming, supposing that what happened to us with the living corpse was not a coincidence, but a human manipulation. ”
"Think about it, is the wave of street fighting we encountered before too coincidental, with the sluggish perception of the living corpse, how can we be divided into two groups to intercept us. Another raid was this one, and we had only been resting in the mall for half an hour before they came to the door. You know, there weren't a single living corpse around here half an hour ago, how did they know about our existence?" Zero added, "And this time, among the living corpses attacking us are elite monsters like the Butcher and the Ripper." It's as if we were in the last encounter and have increased our loadouts this time. ”
"When you say that, it's like someone is testing the combat power of a living corpse. Kaede added next to him.
"If it weren't for the living corpse with the electronic eye, I wouldn't have made such a guess. Zero looked at Kaede and said, "Your guess is not impossible, you must know that the living corpse is the largest population of known mutant monsters." If you can control them, it is equivalent to mastering a biochemical army. If we find another way to mass-produce elite monsters like the Butcher and the Ripper, I'm afraid that the rest of the cities except Valhalla and the Dark Council will be overwhelmed by this army. ”
"Assuming that the manipulators behind this are aiming to master a biochemical army, then the necessary combat power test is inevitable. And a team like ours is a good testing tool. In the test of combat strength, it is necessary to recover data, even corpse specimens on the battlefield. If they do, then we have a chance to get the manipulator out and maybe be able to get him or them to work for us instead. In that case, our task would be much simpler. ”
After listening to Zero, the other three suddenly realized. It turned out that Zero was going to find the manipulator, and if the other party really had the ability to control the living corpse, then they could use the living corpse to go deep into the fifth layer of the base and get the mission items for them without having to risk it themselves.
"But there's one thing I don't understand, if Asgard had done something like the control of a living corpse, then they wouldn't have let us have access to such a classified research project. But if not Asgard, then who would be so capable of turning the Cosaxes into their home turf. Zero smiled and said, "I'm really interested and want to meet each other." ”
While speaking, Su suddenly issued a warning: "Don't speak, something is coming." ”
A few people immediately looked out of the gap, and under infrared vision, a monster appeared at the edge of the battlefield.
To say that it is a monster is that it cannot be classified as a mutant creature known to the base. Judging from the appearance of the human body, it should belong to the category of living corpses. But it had two heads, both of which were covered with strips of cloth and blindfolded. But on the chest of this humanoid monster, there was a huge eye rolling. The giant eyes were constantly flashing with various colors of light, as if a brain was working.
The monster has two arms, one long and one short, the long one almost touching the ground, and the whole arm is wrapped in iron sheet, and it is full of willow nails, like a mechanical hand. Behind the shoulders of the robotic arm, three exhaust pipes protrude, and from time to time bursts of white smoke will be spewed out from the nozzles. On the other side, the short arm is covered with bone spurs like a tear, and the front end of the palm is long like a claw, which is daunting.
This humanoid monster, but with legs with an anti-joint structure, supports the monster's body and quickly approaches the battlefield.
"Damn, what is this? A new breed among the living corpses?" Kaede muttered under his helmet.
