Griffin tried his best, but he could only save one person. The guy he was holding in his hand was really lucky. Among the dozens of people in the command room, he was the one closest to the door. The situation was so critical that Griffin had no time to save one more person.
His adjutant was also killed by the strange bird. The adjutant is a tiger-level ability user. He can release high-temperature steam all over his body and has excellent combat abilities. Unfortunately, the strange birds didn't seem to care whether the food was hot or not, so they swarmed up and ate him.
The ordinary iron door of the command room could not stop this group of alien diners. They rushed out of the command room and chased Griffin with flapping wings.
Griffin did not use all his strength to escape at this time. With his dragon-level physical skills, and the corridor was too narrow for the size of the strange birds, and they could not fly away at all, Griffin could easily get rid of them. , but he didn't. His choice was to use his body as bait to "kite" his opponent.
In many games, kiting is the popular term for H&R (hit and run) tactics, which means using control methods such as deceleration or stun when being chased by the enemy to cause a difference in the movement speed of the two, and then attack the opponent efficiently. At the same time, ensure that you are not attacked, and ultimately achieve the goal of safely escaping or even killing the enemy.
Of course, Griffin's purpose is not simply to escape danger or to fight back. There are a lot of strange birds, and it is difficult to move in the corridor. If they are kited, they can easily stretch the front line.
Steel gates are falling one after another, and each steel gate will separate the dozens of strange birds falling behind from the large army. More than a dozen steel gates went down one after another, dividing and surrounding the strange bird.
This is Griffin's strategy. When attacking the command room, the strange birds showed amazing unity. Only then did quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and they broke through the steel gate. But after being divided, each group of strange birds only has a few dozen birds, and they cannot break out of the cage no matter how hard they gather their strength.
It has to be said that Griffin used himself as bait and laid out suitable tactics in a few seconds, making his last sentence sound brave and strategic.
"Although the scattered strange birds are nothing to worry about, it is not easy to kill them. Casualties are inevitable." Griffin thought about the follow-up battle plan. In fact, if Griffin had ordered the fire when he realized that something was wrong, the strange birds could have been eliminated in the metal hall. However, considering that the recovery team was still in the hall and had not evacuated, his momentary hesitation caused him to delay his opportunity. .
The bottom floor of Fortress No. 5 is large enough to accommodate all the strange birds. Griffin grasped the speed very well, and judged the IQ of the strange birds very correctly. At this time, there were only seven birds chasing him persistently, and these stupid birds with good spirits did not notice their chasing army at all. Staff reduction continues.
In front is the fortress's warehouse, which is also the end point of the chase race designed by Griffin. Ninety percent of the entire fortress's defense force was assembled there, including more than 400 fully armed soldiers and the fortress' only cyborg team, led by two officers with ghost-level strength. After killing the following followers, Griffin will lead this army to clean up the strange birds imprisoned in the corridor one by one.
Intense bullets were fired at this group of uninvited guests, with no intention of capturing them alive. While Griffin was hanging them and running, he ordered someone to upload the image data of the strange birds to the database. The results showed that no such birds were found, which shows that these guys are a completely new life to humans. Facing a completely unknown enemy, it is safer to die completely.
The strange bird's defense was surprisingly poor: its wings were easily shot into sieves; its torso was stained with blue blood. However, its vitality is tenacious. Even if the meat ball's head is blown by a bullet, the strange bird can still struggle for a while.
Griffin had heard that common poultry like chickens could sometimes move around even if their heads were chopped off. If this thing is true, it should be similar to the scene before him, Griffin thought.
Several Cyborg warriors walked towards the pile of bird corpses. The strange birds were showered with bullets like water, and the corpses were no longer distinguishable. The word "pile" is suitable to describe them.
This team of Cyborgs is new. The beast wave that broke out in Fortress No. 5 last month not only killed the former fortress commander, but also killed and injured nearly two hundred ordinary soldiers. The Federation did not send additional ordinary soldiers for reinforcements, but instead mobilized twelve cyborg warriors to fill the defense holes. Moreover, these 12 men were all second-rate mechanical cyborgs, which was equivalent to twelve more tiger-level ability users. After this calculation, the defense power of the fortress has been strengthened than before.
After several modified people completed their inspection, Griffin and other officers stepped forward. Griffin's idea was that the strange bird was trapped in the corridor and couldn't get out, so it was better to understand the enemy first and then make plans.
Only the torso of one strange bird corpse was still intact. Griffin carefully looked at the man-eating devil and was surprised to find that the bird's back was very different from what he had imagined. He had not had the time to observe carefully before, and then he saw that the bird's back was not flat as he thought, but curved and raised.
But he couldn't see any clues. Aren't there many alien creatures with strange shapes? Griffin called two soldiers and asked them to get rid of the garbage. He wants to lead the army to annihilate more garbage, and there are a lot of specimens and materials.
When the two soldiers reached out to touch the strange bird corpse, an accident happened.
The back of the strange bird suddenly exploded, and ginger juice splashed. The two soldiers were caught off guard and were sprayed all over their heads, faces, and bodies.
Then, the two people "melted"...
There are several more victims. This juice is highly corrosive. Fine steel firearms will instantly decay if it gets a little bit of it, and the metal body of a machine that transforms a human being is no exception. If humans get it, it will melt their flesh and even tend to spread.
Griffin was the first to react to the accident. He took out the dagger from the soldier's waist and cut off the splashed parts of several injured soldiers. One soldier was unfortunately splashed on the head and screamed and wailed on the ground, but he ended the pain.
After hastily asking the injured to seek medical treatment, Griffin crouched down and looked at the corpse of the strange bird again. This time he made a new discovery.
He found eyes on the back of the strange bird! Just under the thick and long "neck", it was just the thick feathers that blocked them, which I had not noticed before. Griffin realized that he had thought wrong. It was not a neck, and the meat ball was not a head. They were the preying organs of the strange bird-the mouth, oral cavity and throat.
No wonder the meat ball cannot die even if it is exploded, because it is only in the mouth.
The sharp dagger pierced behind the strange bird's eyes and opened its head. Griffin saw the strange bird's brain.
The brains of alien creatures are not flesh and blood, but more like mineral-like substances, but they also follow the principle of intelligence on Earth, that is, the larger the brain, the smarter it is.
The strange bird's brain is like raw ore wrapped in rubies, as big as two fists. The smoke lizard's brain is only the size of a walnut, and is as gray as a stone.
This overturned Griffin's guess about the strange bird's intelligence. Griffin believed that the strange bird's behavior was similar to that of a bee, with low intelligence and being commanded by the head bird, just like the queen bee leading the entire family, so he took the initiative to break into the command room. Now it seems that the IQ of the strange bird is not even lower than that of chimpanzees.
So why is the strange bird indifferent to its companions being separated and scattered? Griffin thought hard.
He figured it out.
Because the weird bird doesn't care.
They don't care if their companions are separated by steel gates, because steel gates can't stop them at all.
Who stipulated that only physical attacks can be used to destroy steel gates? Look at the corrosion effect of this juice, which is comparable to aqua regia.
Who stipulates that this juice can only explode after the death of a strange bird?
Griffin figures out these things not because his mind is quick, but because...
He heard the flapping of the wings of a strange bird.
From far to near.
