The ultra-high temperature made Gong Yun feel like he would be cooked if he stayed next to the flame for a long time. Fortunately, the jeep was still moving forward, and most of the heat from the flames was left behind the car.
Last time Gong Han was in charge of the barbecue operation, and he only participated in the killing operation after waiting for the opponent to burn over. This time he was so close that he truly experienced that being an operator was not an easy task. Whether it is the flamethrower or the firing of artillery shells, the operator must bear the impact at close range.
The number of this ant team is not very large, probably about fifty, but their behavior is completely different from the ant army they encountered early yesterday morning. They seem to be surprisingly sensitive to temperature.
Before the flamethrowers could kill a few of them, they scattered and ran away in all directions. They looked completely undisciplined, just like a group of stragglers. Once they encountered danger, they would run for their own lives, completely regardless of whether their partners were there. Not safe.
This scene made Gong Yundu doubt whether these mutant ants had intelligence. However, the effect of the ant team's scattering of flamethrowers is not very great. In addition, a jeep is not a sporty and agile vehicle after all, and the gauze must also consider the direction of the flame to prevent the flames from burning the people in the car.
So the mass killing plan quickly went bankrupt. Gong Han seemed to have forgotten that he was still injured on his butt. He turned over and jumped out of the car with a shotgun. He knelt down on one knee and fired at the mutated ants that were escaping in a hurry.
The shotgun shoots not single bullets, but steel balls. The range is not very far, and the rate of fire is also very slow. The bolt had to be pulled again every time it was fired, and the cartridge case had to be reloaded after five consecutive shots.
However, each shot can cover a large area, and the effect is no worse than that of a rapid-fire gun. Because the mutant ants running wildly are too scattered, it is difficult to hit multiple targets with one shot, but each shot can hit at least one mutant ant.
In fact, Gong Yun didn't know that this kind of hunting method was almost unprofitable, because the price of a mutant ant was only 15 contribution coins, and this shot of ammunition alone was almost equivalent to the price of a mutant ant.
But now their goal is not to make profit, they can just kill a soldier on the other side of the crater to make it easier. Nowadays, the large-scale surveillance satellites of the United Front Work Department must be paying close attention to the situation in this area. If they do nothing because they are not making money, it may have an adverse impact on the Cyclonus Squadron in the future.
Although it was said that they did not need to get close, it was probably because the United Front Work Department was considering safety. After all, this was an insect swarm, and the four of them had not shown much effect in the past. Besides, this statement does not mean the United Front Work Department, but the Ares Project preparatory team.
The decision of the preparation team of the God of War Project was naturally based on the overall situation. If Gong Yun, the cultivator of the God of War, was not allowed to pass, it would be impossible for Gong Yun to accept them. Therefore, the God of War project preparation team's decision not to let them get close was probably because of Gong Yun's relationship.
Under such special circumstances, Gong Yun really wouldn't have any responsibility for hiding and watching the show, but they were completely different. This means that you don't have to be in danger if you get Gong Yun's glory, but you still have to take action.
Gong Han, the wounded man, had already gotten out of the car, so it was naturally impossible for Gong Yun to stay in the car. He opened the door and jumped out, pulled out his sword and started chasing the mutant ants that were relatively close.
Although the sword was damaged and had a big gap in it, it was useless for dealing with beast-level mutant beasts, but it still didn't have much impact if it was used to kill a few ants.
Only the horse cannon for controlling the flamethrower and the gauze for driving were left on the car. They did not stop, because although the mutant ants escaped during the day, they could not be said to be very fast, but they certainly could not be said to be slow.
The horse artillery, carrying heavy equipment on its back, would lose its effectiveness due to physical exertion after a short time in pursuit. Instead, it would be better to drive a jeep in the car to pursue the enemy.
Gong Han and Gong Yun got out of the car. Naturally, the mutant ants that were relatively close to each other were left to the two of them. Gong Yun was responsible for the closest ones and was responsible for Gong Han's safety.
After all, Gong Han was not a professional gunman, and his marksmanship was not as accurate as that of a horse artillery. This was why he chose a slow-firing shotgun. With the size of the mutant ant and his marksmanship, using a rapid-fire gun would basically be a waste of bullets.
The jeep ignored the mutant ants that were close by, kicked up a trail of dust, and intercepted and massacred the mutant ants that were escaping at the front.
Gong Han kept raising his gun and firing shotgun steel balls towards the mutant ants. This would facilitate Gong Yun's hunting, otherwise Gong Yun would not be able to play any role.
The shotgun fires too slowly. If a pangolin-like ground-walking mutated beast suddenly emerges from the ground, he may not have time to shoot.
This is experience and teamwork. Gong Yun had just joined the Kuangbiao Squad, and this was his first time to participate in a hunting operation together. Naturally, there was no tacit cooperation with the Kuangbiao Squad, so Gong Yun could only actively cooperate with him.
Gong Yun is not a reckless person, so he is naturally paying attention to Gong Han's safety. Although he seemed to be killing himself, he never left the 5-meter radius of Gong Han. If there was a surprise attack from an earth-moving mutant beast at this distance, he would be able to return in time to protect Gong Han.
He is a warrior, and his strengths are his reaction speed and sensing ability. Within this range, he can feel if something is moving underground. This is equivalent to checking for Gong Han's underground movement within a radius of 5 meters during the hunting process. .
The Cyclonus Team gave him unwavering support. They first gave him a small dragon knife worth 16 million, and then gave him all the results of a month's hunting. He didn't know how to express his gratitude for this friendship now, and how could he put Gong Han in danger.
It can be said that they already have an excellent cooperation without tacit understanding. This does not belong to the category of tacit understanding, but to the category of friendship. He does not want to lose anyone from such a good team member.
As for the gauze and horse artillery on the car, there is no need to worry at all. First of all, the horse artillery is a professional gunner, and the adaptability is also quite fast.
Secondly, although the flamethrower does not appear to be a regular weapon, its power cannot be underestimated. At that temperature, even a mutated beast like a mutated tiger would not dare to avoid it. If it dares to resist, it will definitely be over within a few seconds. Burning them to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, plus the speed of the car, it was impossible for the ground beast to lock on to them.
If Gong Han hadn't been injured, he would have been able to handle the threat of the Earth Beast on his own. Even if the shotgun was too late to kill him, it wouldn't be a problem to avoid it in time.
Although the injury on his butt is not serious, it will affect his ability to feel movement on the ground. The pain during strenuous exercise will interfere with his nerves and block some vibrations from the ground. Therefore, although Gong Han's injury was not too serious at this time, he was indeed the person who needed protection the most.
