"Brother Gong Yun, there is a saying that is not necessarily correct. We believe that it is okay to purchase a set of armor if resources allow. But it is not the main thing. The most important thing is anti-personnel equipment."
"If your lethality is not enough, what's the use of good armor and equipment? We are the hunters, not the hunted. What can determine our safety is the weapons in our hands. When the weapons in your hands lose their effect, the quality of the armor is Being bad doesn’t mean much at all,” Gauze added.
"The truth is this, but it also needs to be divided into professions. Gong Yun is a melee fighter, and armor is also very important to him." Gong Han corrected.
"I would say that armor and weapons are not important. Contribution coins are the most important. As long as you have enough contribution coins, why don't you worry about not having good equipment?" Ma Pao spit out his cigarette butt and laughed.
"Incisive." Gong Yun responded and gave him a thumbs up.
"Haha..." The three people laughed heartily.
Didi, a notification came from Gong Yun's watch.
"How's it going? See how many contribution coins this mutated tiger gave?" Ma Pao stopped laughing and asked, looking very expectant.
Gong Yun raised his wrist and looked at it, and responded with a very depressed expression.
"70,000."
"Only 70,000?" Ma Pao muttered in disappointment.
"Well, that's the problem. It costs 60,000 to 70,000 to hunt a mutant cow, and 60,000 to 70,000 to kill a mutant tiger. Who would choose to hunt a mutant beast with high attack power?" Gong Han sighed.
"The Materials Department should also be aware of these problems. At present, the hunting efficiency is getting lower and lower. If they encourage hunting of powerful beasts, it will increase the casualties of the hunting team. In that case, the hunting efficiency will be even lower." Gong Yun responded, because Qian Yi had discussed this issue with him before.
Although Qian Yi did not go into details at the time, he could still guess some of the helplessness involved. After all, just relying on a hunting team with portable firearms and artillery, there are indeed big disadvantages in hunting such mutant beasts with strong attack power.
Once the ammunition is exhausted, the hunting team may face the end of the group being wiped out. It is already very difficult to collect supplies. If hunting teams continue to die, it will cause great difficulties in the supply of supplies.
Take the hunt for this mutated tiger as an example. With its ferocity, if it hadn't been entangled with it, it would have been unable to get away to attack the horse artillery and Gong Han. With its attack power, it wanted to kill both of them. Personally it's not really that difficult.
Although the mutated tiger died in the end from the thermal weapon, it was undeniable that he played a great role in containing it, allowing the two people to find a suitable fighter in a relatively safe environment.
"Haha..." Gong Han laughed wildly, "It seems that Gong Yun has a very clear understanding of the current situation."
Ma Pao and Gauze also smiled knowingly, which was exactly why they were willing to spend money to recruit Gong Yun to join the team. There is a tough warrior in the team. Even if he cannot kill the prey, as long as he can entangle the prey, the hunting success rate will be greatly improved. This time is obvious confirmation.
As for Gong Han being hit by a rock, it was just an accident. They believed that if Gong Yun's sword was powerful this time, he could kill him independently. Then these 70,000 contribution coins are equivalent to receiving goods without cost. Even if he didn't kill the mutated tiger independently in the end, the cost was much lower than bombarding him with firepower.
A few bullets and one explosive bomb solved the problem. This was completely impossible before. However, there are some things that everyone knows well and understands. There is no need to say it so straightforwardly.
This time it was Gong Yun who sat in the passenger seat. Gong Han had two cuts on his butt and could not sit, so he could only kneel on the back seat, facing backward. At this time, Gong Yun could only sit in the co-pilot seat, because the horse artillery gun was relatively long, and the gauze driver in the co-pilot was affecting his performance. Gong Yun does not have this problem. This is a reasonable deployment of defense.
"You should drive more carefully, how can I survive such a hard ride?" Gong Han complained with a grin.
"Captain, you have to think so. I am doing this to allow you to go home and recuperate early." Gauze drove as usual without paying any attention.
"It's yours. I will do the same thing when you are injured, so that you can experience how I treat you well." Gong Han threatened with a sweet smile.
"If even I was injured, I might not have a chance!" Gauze joked.
Buzz.
Suddenly, a plume of thick smoke suddenly rose into the sky in front of him. The jeep seemed to be jolted by the shock at such a distance. Gong Han, who was teasing Mengzi, was almost thrown off if the horse gunner hadn't pulled him up quickly.
Gauze stopped the car and looked in the direction of the rising smoke. "Is that the direction of the crater?"
"Hey, what about the meteorite? Isn't that just a skeleton?" Ma Pao joked.
"How come a skeleton was exploded? It was so powerful that it couldn't be blown away?" Gong Han stood up suspiciously and took out a telescope to look at it. Of course, he could only see that... Thick smoke rising.
"Let's go over and take a look and we'll find out." Gong Yun also urged Gauze to drive with a suspicious look on his face.
At this time in the archaeological base, all the soldiers formed a circle. All kinds of firearms were pouring bullets around like they were free.
Two helicopters were also circling around the giant crater, pouring down bullets violently. Within a radius of nearly half a mile around the giant crater, the ground was densely covered with mutated ants of all sizes.
These ants seemed to hate the humans in the encirclement, and they pushed forward towards the edge of the giant pit without fear of death. A low wall of ant corpses had been piled up around the huge pit, and ants were constantly jumping over from behind the low wall made of corpses of the same kind and rushing towards the huge pit.
There are also thousands of mutant hedgehogs among these ant armies, and they seem to have reached some kind of alliance with each other. There was no fight of any kind between the two sides, and they both targeted the humans hiding in the giant pit.
The body structure of mutant ants is not strong, and most bullets can cause damage to them, but they still charge forward regardless of the death of their kind.
Mutated hedgehogs are relatively difficult to deal with. Although their attack power is not as good as mutant ants, their defense is super powerful. Contrary to mutant ants, most bullets do very limited damage to them.
"What on earth is going on? Is there a beast tide or something?" Mi Yuesheng and Sun Ye stood on top of what looked like a skull, looking at the overwhelming mutant ants and mutant hedgehogs with awe.
They have contacted the United Front Work Department and more helicopters will be arriving to pick them up soon. But the attack of the mutant ants and mutant hedgehogs was so fierce that they were worried that they would not be able to hold on until that time.
After all, the troops present were just escorts assisting in the excavation. They had no idea that there would be a tide of beasts, and they didn't have many ammunition belts. Once the bullets are fired, these mutant bugs will march straight in, and by then they will be quickly eaten into bones.
