The moonlight was distant, and in the forest where there was a short break from the heavy rain, a few fireflies slowly rose up, like a phosphorus fire, entwined between the bridge of Chen Xiaoxiang's nose marked with dried mud. She held the gun, opened her legs, and stepped on it with her long boots. In the soft and sticky soil, there were footprints of different shades. She stared ahead, and the place seemed to be dimly lit, so the red light and blood were reflected more clearly, shining on the girl's face and scars. She Her knuckles turned white from clenching for so long, and the radioactive sewage made her skin wrinkle and feel astringent.
She felt nothing.
Her eyes were looking forward, nothing more.
The muzzle of the carbine was tilted downwards, and the butt of the carbine was pressed against the shoulder socket. She walked forward quickly, the ejection window of the carbine was open, and the half-wet soft hat on her head was shaking, spilling water droplets on the goggles tied to the brim. More and more clear blue haloes rose in the forest, rising and smearing beside each coniferous tree one by one, and the sharp red light shining in her red phoenix eyes joined together to form a thundercloud. Rain, every step, blood, sweat but no tears, flowed down her soaked military uniform, through the belt buckle, through the holster, to the boots, and finally to the steel palms nailed under the boots.
She ran faster and faster. She saw the roaring and charging corpses in the forest in the distance. The gunshots became louder and louder. She saw the remaining soldiers of the 2nd squad. The extinguishing of each gun flame announced that She sacrificed a compatriot, so in the next heartbeat, she raised the gun, closed her left eye, took aim, and shot!
The firing pin struck the primer, and the standard steel-core bullet in the gun chamber suddenly started to spin. It was driven by the powerful gunpowder and spun along with the milled rifling, and it came out of the chamber! Gunfire! Fly far!
"Ping ping ping ping!" Chen Xiaoxiang fired a round of bursts, and three small blood flowers exploded out of the corpse's back, but it was really insignificant to such a deformed species with a wide body.
"Come!" Chen Xiaoxiang shouted, and immediately Luo Tiancheng, who was closest to her, followed closely. Squad deputy Ma Yuanguo led another female soldier Yan Hui to roll sideways, forming a ladder one behind the other. , advance alternately.
Her shooting announced the arrival of reinforcements. The remnants of the 2nd Squadron, who had run out of ammunition and food due to the counter-attack, were in high spirits. They began to change their strategy, weakening the center and strengthening towards the left wing, inducing the corpses to move to this side instead of blocking them with all their strength. .
Even after hours of fierce fighting, Chen Xiaoxiang's tactical movements were still precise and agile. She kept shooting with short stops, and then fired in full-automatic mode while running fast. She used the cover of trees to quickly arrive about ten meters away from the red ghoul. five meters position.
"Squat down!" she shouted, and immediately twisted her steps into a hunched posture.
Luo Tiancheng, who rushed in front of her, understood immediately and hit the tree trunk without losing momentum. Then he let go of the gun and spread his hands towards Chen Xiaoxiang. The next second, she jumped up lightly and stepped on Luo Tiancheng's palm. With a sudden exertion of strength, he climbed directly to the branched top of the fir tree, which was four meters high.
Chen Xiaoxiang's slender and powerful calves twisted the branches, and she adopted a very peculiar shooting method from a sitting position. That is, the lower legs are crossed and twisted around the lower body, and the elbows are supported with the knees, thus forming a balance.
In a very short period of time, she completed her shooting preparations. She aimed down at the vulnerable neck of the ghoul. At this distance, there was no need for a high-power scope and she shot directly from the baseline!
"Ping ping ping ping!" Another round of bursts!
This time, a vertical plane was obtained, and the highly penetrating steel-core bullet penetrated under the tough leather armor of the ghoul without any reservation. Moreover, this was a homemade bullet specially sharpened by Chen Xiaoxiang, and it instantly penetrated the ghoul's neck. The shot is missing a piece.
The pained corpse waved its two big arms that were comparable to stone mills. Trees collapsed wherever it passed. No one dared to attack it lightly, but the shooting that lasted for more than half an hour had already weakened this particularly powerful one. Abnormal species.
Chen Xiaoxiang was not the only one to successfully launch a strike. Ma Yuanguo and the others, who carried the excess ammunition of the evacuation team, kept throwing grenades with considerable lethality. Within a minute, the four grenades that exploded in succession were blown to pieces by the corpses, and their bodies were covered with fragments like hedgehogs.
It would be too simplistic to say that grenades + grenades + rifles can bring down a ghoul deformity. This is a hybrid creature with extremely strong regenerative ability. Army scientists have identified more than three genetic components based on the blood. Pre-war biological genetics cannot explain how this creature is a mixture of snake lizards, maned wolves and even some pigs. Characteristics of the family. Characteristics and habits can only be studied through military eyewitness reports and combat records. At present, it can only be understood that the ghoul is a viviparous animal, but it will shed its skin repeatedly like a snake, and in this process it will reach a huge body and cold-blooded habits. Inadequate molting will lead the ghoul to evolve in the direction of a maned wolf and become sensitive to smell. and grows red fur. But in any case, the ghoul clearly has the distinctive characteristics of the Eurasian wild boar, with short, thick and strong hind limbs, a long, narrow and round head, opposite eyes with poor vision, and small and single ears. However, it is extremely deformed, has strong arms, and looks like an orangutan. There is still fierce controversy over which subfamily and even order it is classified into.
The Renaissance Army tried many times to tame mutant beasts and even deformed species, but except for a few mutated beasts with poultry blood that were partially tamed, all deformed species were unable to obey instructions. The corpse in front of him did not stop attacking the bandit army accompanying him, and there were obviously signs of domestication.
Chen Xiaoxiang was not in the mood to care about whether to tame or not. All that flashed through her mind were the weaknesses of the ghoul. Unfortunately, within the scope of her knowledge, this deformed species was left to armored hunters with heavy firepower for front-line confrontation. The hunter holding the alloy sword killed directly and then breathed fire to melt it. Ordinary infantry must rely on direct fire from company- and platoon-level machine guns and recoilless rifles before they are allowed to approach and kill with rocket launchers. If the ghoul closed its arms, it would be a shield comparable to armored steel, enough to be immune to rifle grenades!
Fortunately, this ghoul is red and is not fully molted. Its arms are not that strong, but unfortunately, it moves too fast!
"Monitor, be careful!"
Luo Tiancheng shouted in shock when he saw the corpse suddenly turned and rushed towards Chen Xiaoxiang, who was shooting accurately.
Chen Xiaoxiang could see very clearly from the tree, but she did not jump down. Once she jumped from four meters, it would be very painful no matter what position she landed in. The delay of a few seconds in getting up was enough for the corpse to rush ten meters, and it was impossible for her to run across the ground. The corpse that was rushing towards me from the shaking mountain would only need to be bumped into by its heavy shoulder. Her body was much more fragile than a tree trunk!
Chen Xiaoxiang straightened up and hooked her left leg onto the branch. Until the ghoul approached ten meters away, she continued to shoot, hitting the ghoul's head with a few shots, beating its few soft spots until the flesh and blood flew out.
Chen Xiaoxiang rarely let go of the gun. The carbine swayed on her chest with the gun belt. She opened her hand and jumped up at the moment when the corpse raised its arm and hit the fir tree!
The soldiers watched her draw an arc in mid-air, and there was a muffled sound in the suddenly quiet battlefield. The next second they came to their senses, she actually jumped on the back of the corpse!
So brave!
