Chapter 1178: Accidentally Encountering a Mutant Shrimp
After the headquarters issued the order to attack and harass the mutant beasts to rescue the 18th regiment, the 78th regiment quarreled into a pot of porridge, and no one could maintain composure in front of millions of mutant beasts.
Lin Ran did not manage the dispute between the deputy regiment commander and the chief of staff, but paid attention to the progress of the other four regiments.
There are five regiments on the mission, of which the 33rd regiment is the fastest to contact the 78th regiment to discuss how to act, and there is no decision over there, it is obvious that the mutant beast is too powerful, and no one is willing to let everyone use their lives to open up space for the 18th regiment to escape.
All the teams submitted their opinions to the headquarters, but to no avail, and the headquarters said that it was not only a matter of rescuing the 18th regiment but also the overall situation.
Just after New Year's Day in 1024, five regiments began to act in unison, landing from different locations.
The members of the 78th Regiment looked at the forest chaos flying in the sky but did not see the dense mutant bats, and they didn't know the bottom of their hearts.
Just rely on 1,000 people to fight, and it is completely impossible to fight.
Fortunately, Lin Chao did not fight according to the location set by the headquarters, but chose another location that was further back.
They are stationed less than 100 miles off the coast, with sporadic mutant beasts infestation hundreds of miles to the west, and a large number of mutant beasts farther away.
According to the plan communicated by the five teams in advance, it is to gradually eliminate the scattered mutant beasts, and then create some movement to see if the mutant beasts come to chase, if they chase them, they will quickly retreat, and if they do not chase, they will continue, which is simply a temptation.
In the dark night, Lin Chao looked into the distance and gave orders.
"Tomorrow, Ma Chaoyue and Nail will each lead a team to catch mutant beasts, and the seven warriors will respond in the back. ”
Standing on the tropical continent, Shuanghua also felt the heavy pressure, the pressure from the countless mutant beasts, and at this time, she couldn't firmly carry out anyone's orders.
At three o'clock in the morning on the 3rd, three hours before departure, a meteor pierced the sky.
Gu Siyu couldn't sleep at all, and when he heard the voice, he came out of the room, saw the Seven Martial Artists, and asked what was going on.
There was no need for the Seven Martial Artists to say, she also saw the meteors in the sky, and she was stunned and did not move.
"That's ...... What?"
Lin Chao appeared above them, and his expression became serious, it was not a meteor, it was a missile, flying from the direction of the sea, and the target was the mutant beast that was gathering.
"Why are there missile attacks on mutants?"
"Don't you know we're on a mission, what if we alarm the mutant beasts?"
"Let's not talk about the mission, it's time to think about how the mutant beast will retaliate. ”
There was talk everywhere, and the sudden change was unexpected by everyone.
The priest hurriedly ran over and said, "Damn, I just said that those people are unreliable, there are missiles still forcing us to get on, and indiscriminate bombardment can naturally lure the mutant beasts away." ”
Frost Hua retorted: "This is definitely not what the headquarters meant, you don't have preconceived ideas." ”
Lin Ran said: "Retreat to the south, now." ”
Frost knew that the mutant beast would definitely riot after being bombed, but she didn't understand why it was retreating south, there were still ships on the coast to respond, and it could be withdrawn by sea.
However, Lin Chao did not stay in place, but flew to a higher place.
"Retreat!"
For a while, the 78th Regiment was shouting everywhere, and everyone was moving.
"Be careful, don't make noise, go stealthily. ”
"Shhhhh ”
Such reminders can be heard at any time.
Whew...... The sound of breaking the sky appeared in the sky above, and the piercing sound was transmitted in all directions, and several mutant eagles swept through the sky and flew in the direction of the sea.
Ma Chaoyue pulled Shi Qianyi to prostrate forward, looking back at the sky, the mutant eagle flew with a strong wind, and the distance of hundreds of kilometers was just a warm-up for them.
"No wonder Lin said that he couldn't escape after being surrounded, the mutant eagle could be easily harvested, and it was difficult for the mutant to attack it. ”
Lin Chao was also in the team, always keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Just now he went to the distance and heard the voice of the mutant beast, and the missiles were still being launched, and there were no less than a hundred.
It would be a joke to say that the coalition headquarters did not know, how could such a big operation not be ventilated, but the coalition forces have been divided into two parts, one part is mutants, and the other is ordinary people.
Fighter jets, warships and other advanced weapons and equipment are still in the hands of ordinary people, and this attack may be intended to have an offensive and defensive contest with the mutant eagle at sea.
"There's a mutant beast ahead!"
The news from the reconnaissance team immediately brought the team to a halt.
After hearing that there were only a few dozen mutant beasts, everyone relaxed a little, and Ma Chaoyue took the initiative to ask Ying and take people to check the situation.
Lin Lan habitually looked at the map, marked the current location, and said, "Narrow down the scope of the reconnaissance, slow down the team, and be more cautious." ”
Gu Siyu passed on the order, his heart was beating, there were so many mutant beasts on the side, if he really attracted the other party, it would be troublesome.
Lin Lan asked, "Is there any news from the headquarters?"
Immediately after discovering the missile attack, the regimental headquarters contacted the headquarters to inquire about the specific status.
Gu Siyu said: "Not yet." ”
The battle ahead had begun, Ma Chaoyue was not afraid in the face of several mutant crocodiles, his body was as steady as a rock, the light on his fists was constantly flashing, and the power of thousands of catties quickly hit the mutant crocodiles at a speed of hundreds of punches per second.
The first mutant crocodile was knocked away, and the others learned their lesson and turned to fend with their scale armor.
Seeing this, Ma Chaoyue raised his right hand high, and the scattered light condensed into his fist.
"Comet Punch!"
Comet Punch is a single click that gathers Meteor Punches into one click, which is 100 times more powerful than Meteor Punch, and is very effective against objects with strong defenses.
Boom!
The light shot straight from Ma's right fist and slammed into the head of a mutant crocodile.
The power of the Comet Fist was really extraordinary, and the mutant crocodile that could withstand the attack of the Meteor Fist was hit by this punch and flew out, falling to the ground motionless.
"Deputy Head Ma is so strong!"
The team members who followed were greatly encouraged when they saw that Ma Chaoyue was so brave.
The mutant beasts in front of him are only mutant crocodiles and mutant cows, and there are not many of them, and the usual training of the 78th regiment is for the mutant beasts that have appeared, and they are very familiar with the habits of these two mutant beasts.
Ma Chaoyue became more and more courageous, knocking down several mutant crocodiles one after another, and commanding the others to be careful not to get too close.
A voice came from the communicator, "There are about a hundred mutants on your right. ”
"A hundred?"
Ma Chaoyue didn't want to retreat, and wanted to fight again, but Lin Chao's order came down and asked her to withdraw from the battle immediately.
......
The commanders of the 78 regiment met under a small dirt slope.
Lin Lan pointed to the map and said, "The mutant beast may change its original route after being attacked, and we haven't encountered a large-scale beast herd yet, which is fortunate to reduce the contact with the mutant beast next." ”
The news from the headquarters has not yet come, Shuanghua is particularly anxious, feeling like an abandoned child, usually she will speak after Lin Ran's words, and she is silent now.
Nail said: "Every time the mutant beast attacks, it will spread the amethyst veins over, that is, where are the mines, where are their battlefields, with the scale of this time, they need more huge veins, where will they be placed?"
"Maybe they're transporting now, not by sea and land, but the problem is that there are so many mutant beasts, and even if we know we can't do more," said the priest. ”
The nail said: "I mean, the 18th regiment is not unable to come out, but because it has found a vein of amethyst, so it does not want to come out." If the 18th Regiment can destroy the ore veins, then the Mutant Beast's offensive will have to stop. ”
The others also lit up, but Nail noticed that Lin Ran was still looking at the map with no surprise.
If Lin Chao went to investigate, he might be able to find out immediately, and he could kill the mutant turtle alone, and he could come and go freely in the herd, but he didn't, and he was always with the team.
He felt that Lin Chao must have thought of it a long time ago, but he was just waiting for an opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ran: "The idea of nails is interesting, at first it was five regiments and then it was bombarded with missiles, all in order to divert the mutant beasts. What is the purpose of transferring the mutant beasts, just to create space and time for the 18th regiment to break through, I'm afraid not necessarily, the continent is so big, the mutant beasts don't want to kill them all when they see a group of people, they care more about occupying territory. ”
The priest seemed to understand Lin Chao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Are you going to do a big one?"
Ma Chaoyue didn't understand and asked, "What's big?"
Shuanghua and Nail understood, but they didn't want to say it, the priest didn't care, and said: "The 18th regiment has a chance to make great contributions, if we cut off the beard in the past, wouldn't we be able to share the credit." ”
Ma Chaoyue still didn't understand, and said: "There are hundreds of third-level masters in the 18th regiment, a large team of thousands of people, how can we intercept their Hu?"
The priest said: "There is no need to compete with them, as long as we find the amethyst vein and notify the headquarters, it will be considered a credit, which means that the 18th regiment cannot be monopolized." ”
Ma Chaoyue whistled, "It's exciting enough to walk through a million mutant beasts." ”
The nail slapped his thigh, "Absolutely exciting, Mr. Lin, we did it, so retreating like this may not be able to run past the mutant beast, the 18th regiment is fine so far, which means that it is safe there." ”
Lin Chao is waiting for news from the headquarters, more than ten hours have passed since the missile attack on the mutant eagle counterattack, and the 78th regiment can't stay all the time, it must move.
"Wait another hour, and change direction before there is any news," he said. ”
"Good!"
Everyone agreed, and there were some gamblers, knowing that there would be millions of mutant beasts, but they still couldn't help but want to make a great contribution and get a reward.
If the amethyst veins can be destroyed to delay the attack of the mutant beast, the mutant beast will not delay a day, and the human defense force will be one more point, and the headquarters will definitely not hesitate to new mutant factors.
An hour passed, and there was still no news from the headquarters, and the 78th Regiment began to turn west, inserting between the first and second teams of the mutant beasts.
Lin Chao flew to a height of thousands of meters to observe the vast prairie.
The savannahs of the tropical continent are the world's largest habitat for wildlife, and now those wild animals seem to be gone, and life is rare in the vast wilderness, like the apocalyptic wilderness.
He dialed Ren Zhen's number, told her about the situation on his side, and asked her if she had found out.
Ren Zhen and Agu took the mutant bats around to the southern tip of the tropical continent, staring at the shipping lane between the polar continent and the tropical continent.
"It was discovered that the southernmost islands had disappeared and been sunk by mutant beasts. ”
Lin Lan said: "It seems that the mutant beasts do not plan to leave a foothold for humans, has there been any change in the polar continent?"
Ren Zhen said: "There is no way to go deep, there are a large number of mutant beasts along the coast, if you go in, you will probably not be able to get out." You are now, too, what to risk doing, you don't need amethyst that much. ”
Lin Lan said: "There is no way to fight the system by relying on one person, I also have to establish my system, amethyst stone is useless to me, but the best amethyst stone is useful, I suspect that the best amethyst stone can help mutants break through the third level." ”
Ren Zhen said: "If it's true, then it's worth the risk, I also went over, such a large-scale mutant beast is accompanied by a large number of amethyst stones, and it is very likely that you can find the best." ”
A living creature appeared in Lin Chao's sight, and he hung up the call to lower his height.
A meandering river spreads like a ribbon in the grassland, and the mud and sand are constantly tumbling in a section of the river in front of Lin Chao, indicating that there are mutant beasts inside.
It's really strange to encounter a lone mutant crocodile, what is it doing?
Lin Chao landed on the ground curiously, watching it emerge from the river.
The fiery red body, with two large pincer-like front paws held high in front of it, and four thinner claws underneath, two thick feet supporting it to move quickly, long whiskers swaying with the wind.
"Mutant shrimp?"
Lin Lan didn't expect a new mutant beast to appear on the tropical continent, the mutant shrimp in front of him was about five meters long, and a pair of pincers were cold and cold, feeling that he could easily clamp any object in two.
He immediately informed the regimental members in the rear to temporarily halt the march.
The river seemed to have an earthquake, the sediment was rolled up, and mutant shrimp continued to appear, but they didn't even look at it, and walked directly north along the river.
Lin Chao followed behind, seeing where they were going.
At the end of the river, some mutant shrimp dived into the river, and when they appeared, they actually dragged a hundred-meter-long object.
"That's, that's amethyst. ”
Hundreds of mutant shrimp carried a piece of amethyst more than a hundred meters long to the north.
Lin Lan looked at the river and understood that this group of mutant shrimp was using the river to transport amethyst.
He returned to the team to tell the story, and Ma Chaoyue was eager to try again, "More than four hundred mutant shrimp, so what are you waiting for, we rushed over and intercepted the amethyst." ”
Frostbloom was busy contacting the headquarters to tell them about the new discovery.
Ma Chaoyue was ready to find that no one agreed, and said suspiciously: "What's the matter, you want to watch a group of shrimps carry away the amethyst?"
She looked at the nail, "You're not going to be cowardly, are you?"
The nail said: "I'm not cowardly, I'm waiting for Mr. Lin to speak." ”
He thought to himself that Lin Chao saw it but didn't make a move, which showed that the mutant shrimp was not as weak as he imagined.
Lin Lan said: "A group of mutant shrimp can appear in front, and other mutant beasts can also appear, so don't act rashly until you find out the situation." The speed of that group of shrimp is not fast, we can easily catch up, and I wonder what this amethyst can do. ”
Others also began to wonder if it was just a piece of amethyst that was 100 meters long and 10 meters wide, and where the mutant shrimp transported it would be a storage point for the amethyst stone.
Thinking of this, Ma Chaoyue smiled, "It turns out that Lao Lin is planning to even the pot and be domineering, are you so good." ”
Lin Chao was not stunned by her sycophancy, but said calmly: "Be cautious, focus on observation, the tropical continent is changing under the noses of human beings, don't take the initiative to attack first." ”
He didn't think that he could find the best in that amethyst stone, but planned to follow the mutant shrimp to see where they put the amethyst.
It doesn't take too many people to track this kind of thing, too many people will only do bad.
