Chapter 972: The Name of the Lone Wolf (21) Chapter 2
The three teams maintain a distance of two or three hundred meters, which allows them to have a lot of reaction time between them, and also allows the other team to be in their own monitoring range at all times.
In the Leonard family, Russell was the last to prevent the danger of approaching from behind. Villani then approached him from the side of the group.
"What's the matter?" asked Verani, looking behind him, "I thought he was really going to follow, but it was just talking." β
"It's not like you to expect so much. I didn't see any characteristics, my appearance was ordinary, except that I was calm in front of us. Your interests have always been so unique?" Russell said, "I'll tell you, if I found out." Besides, you don't have to keep up with us. The traces of the snow are easy to identify, and it is not a problem to pull a few kilometers in the middle. If you really have the heart, you can stay where you are and wait, and then it will become your breakfast alone. Of course, just remember to come back on time, and I can take care of the rest. β
"I'm not one of those who can't tell the difference, and the number of places in the assessment is really more important than the snacks that can be found at any time. By the way, don't forget your words, I was caught by Kleist, and after one shot, there was nothing to do with me. β
"I'm here for you, Miss Villani. β
The sky began to fully brighten as it advanced, and around nine o'clock the phantom of the overlapping peaks fell in front of the three teams. I ran into one of the few evasors who had been evacuated. The situation is roughly the same as yesterday, but it is moving in a good direction, whether it is in the clean-up of the large number of second-class creatures that have gathered, or in the mastery of the information of ferocious creatures, it is steadily pulling the advantage to the side of the examiner.
Two more teams had seriously injured the ferocious creature, and although they had escaped, they had been chasing after them, and perhaps in the next few days, the news that the first ferocious creature had been hunted would come out.
"The big lizard is around here. "At noon, the Leonard family team separated from the other two families and came to a halt after a distance down the hill. Russell and Villani and five other captains got together to discuss what's next.
"In the end, we chose it, and that evening was a terrible loss for us. But that's fine, at least of all the options, the one we are most familiar with is this big lizard. β
"It's true, other ferocious creatures have not seen the main body, and the information gathered alone is not true. The intensity, attack methods, and defenses are not clear, and what we know can mislead us. Verani agrees.
The discussion ended quickly, and with a few minutes to go again, Villani left the group and walked in the snow at the foot of the mountain. Come back and meet Russell who is waiting.
"It seems disappointing. Russell said, "Anyone can say cruel things, but it is the means and actual actions that can really make people feel scared." β
Verani shook his head and asked Russell, "Do you know why my overall ranking is always above you in the family assessment? Intuition, a woman's intuition is terrible, especially when she cares about something and it doesn't feel so simple, it's usually very accurate. Perhaps it has something to do with the natural sensitivity and delicacy of women, and it is natural to observe some subtle things. β
"And do I want to keep that expectation?"
"You will come and ask me, and you will already know the answer in your heart. β
"Actually, from the actual point of view, I am also on your side. I know a little bit about Temple's strength, and I have been exposed to it in previous assessments. The toxins in his blood could send Temple straight into the hospital, which I always cared about. It is precisely because of biological agents that I am vigilant. If there are many ways to spread it, it will be very troublesome. β
"I'll talk about this when I have time, it's time to go. The next stop is where the big lizard is, so be prepared. β
The team rested and continued on their way. When they came to the center, their speed decreased significantly, and the number of breaks began to increase. There is no guarantee that you will encounter other ferocious creatures that suddenly break in, so you can only be prepared to face them at any time.
More than a dozen kilometers away, Kasia was eating her food while following the trails slowly. The evacuees he met told him that he had tracked the route correctly, and he was no longer in a hurry. It seems that no one on the other side has always remembered him, and even if there is, the position is under the quota.
In the evening, the Leonard family team stopped at the foot of the next peak. Find the cave, light the fire, and start preparing for the night. At the fire, Russell and the others looked at the map, guessing the exact location of the big lizard and making plans accordingly.
"You can start with a heavy machine gun, the scales are a bit like reactive armor plates, and that's what it was able to stop the bombardment of the machine guns in the first place. Recall that with its regenerative power and speed, we have about half a minute to bombard its body after the scales fall off. It's not short, but it's not long, and after most of the scales fall off, it also knows to actively dodge attacks and wander around the perimeter in search of opportunities. β
"The defense mechanism is very easy to break, but what about the attack? The main offensive means are the tongue and the surprisingly long tail. Both are so fast that even the tongue pops out so fast that we can barely react. As long as you are distracted, what the consequences are, everyone who is still alive now knows that it is a big threat. β
"You have to find a way to destroy that tongue, the attack range reaches more than 20 meters, the five of us are okay, and the others will be difficultγγγγγγ"
The discussion ended in the middle of the night, and everyone rested except for those who were on guard. Kasia lay down in the snow more than a thousand meters away, waiting with them for dawn.
"According to their speed and route, it will probably be tomorrow. Before closing her eyes, Kasia thought.
The next day, it wasn't until about ten minutes after the Leonard family set off that Kasia sat up from the snow to keep up. Not long after advancing, the aftermath of the explosion was about to dissipate from the other direction, and all the ferocious creatures and half of the examiners were concentrated in the central area, which was indeed much more lively than the outer area.
During the day, Kasia kept the distance between the two wide, staying ten kilometers away. It was only after noon, when a dense burst of gunfire and explosions rang out from the front, that he suddenly increased his speed, quickly reducing the distance to a kilometer.
The Leonard family team began searching for a target at noon, and the large number of second-class creatures gathered around them allowed them to quickly find the large lizard. A defensive position was set up on a high ground in advance, and all the traps for planting bombs were equipped with mechanical detonators. When it was ready, Russell carried the single-shot gun over. When the sound of an explosion was remembered in the distance, Russell returned, followed by a group of second-class creatures.
"There it is, and there are wounds on it, which were caused recently. There must have been other examiners who have encountered it these days, but it has helped us. Russell returned to his position, picked up a heavy sniper rifle, and shot with several other members of the team who were skilled in using such firearms.
"Three seconds! Two seconds! One second! Detonate!" Venina looked ahead with a telescope, and with her calm command, dozens of people in the team pulled the thin alloy rope in their hands at the same time, and then in front of them, in the snow where a group of second-class creatures were running, more than a dozen fireballs quickly joined together with the vapor that vaporized in a short instant, rising in mid-air into a churning dark gray smoke cloud, and in an instant, the vapor that froze into frost powder made the gunpowder smoke seem to condense in the cold. The surrounding snow was pressed down by the impact for tens of centimeters, and when a translucent wave of air reached them, it was already a cold wind.
A large group of second-class creatures were cut off from the middle, and the number of creatures that could break through the smoke and continue to move forward suddenly dropped to less than 100 in about ten seconds.
"Shoot the artillery, the steel-hulled bomb and the flashbang grenade!, and then attack freely!" Verani put down the binoculars, and the eight cannons also fell and fired as he spoke, and the orange tail was dyed red with snow, and rushed into the middle of the second-class creatures. The flames of the explosion turned into smoke, and the space was immediately overwhelmed by a fierce blazing white light. The snow surface makes the effect of the flashbang even more intense, and the impact speed of Class 2-like creatures is rapidly slowed for a moment.
A strange cry of "cluckγγγ clucked from afar, and the remaining second-class creatures immediately turned around and retreated. Half of the Leonard family immediately broke away from the team and pursued them.
"I'm just thinking about commanding now, is it too late?" Verani outflanked the scattered second-class creatures from the side with a fire hammer, "The big lizard is nearby, clean up all of these creatures as soon as possible." β
Class II creatures quickly rout under a staggered web of fire. The assessors in the big family are all of a very good standard, and after the baptism of the battle that evening, they are all very strong and can still stand here. With the cooperation and preparation of forty-seven people, the second-class creatures of the ordinary class could not even break through the firepower network. In the open area, they are just a target for these people to warm up.
At this moment, the whistling sound was heard, and Villani ordered to return to the position immediately. A wave of snow roared and approached in a serpentine course. In the snow waves, a huge lizard with a length of more than ten meters ran on its hind limbs, its two eyes were huge, and its bright red cross pupils penetrated the entire raised small half-spherical eye, which was completely different from ordinary types of lizards.
The distance of less than a kilometer was shortened to within 100 meters in just a few seconds, and the moment the big lizard landed on all fours, the moment its eyes locked on the front, the scales on its body moved from head to tail like waves, turning from silver white to deep red. The next moment, translucent air passages bombarded it with cannon bullets.
The large lizard's body exploded in a small area, but its speed became faster at this point. A straight red stream of shadows pulled away, moving with a large array of explosions. When it was less than a few dozen meters away from the Leonard family, the body of the large lizard ejected, smashed through the thin composite bulletproof plate, and came to the position.
"Spread out!" Vellani shouted as he pulled out of the way, but the tail with sharp spikes on both sides had already pulled out a huge arc, covering a small part of the position.
Several people were cut in half, and the upper self, which had not yet lost consciousness, struggled into ice in mid-air, and landed on the ice with a crisp sound of "bells". The big lizard turned around with the power of its tail twisting back, its bulging eyes rotated in all directions, and the moment it locked onto the target, a popping sound fell to the ground, and in the air, the pale pink tongue seemed to have never appeared at all, but the mouth had already bitten off a person.
The attack suddenly appeared empty, and Verani and Russell went around to the side of the big lizard, and directly attacked the part where the scales fell off a small part with a fire gun, trying to completely destroy it, so that the scales could not grow again.
It's just that there is no time to aim at all, and the two eyes of the big lizard make its vision almost non-existent, as if half of the cardan axis can be rotated at will. It knows how to move its body in small areas to allow bullets to hit the areas of its body where scales remain, giving the damaged parts enough time to recover.
The team surrounding the big lizard was quickly dispersed, and with the call of "clucking", the remaining dozens of second-class creatures came from all around and attacked the lone person.
Seeing this, Verani threw away the fire gun and shouted at Russell and the others: "Russell, Kleist, Salita, Cheriff, don't wait, you must control its movements, otherwise there will be no chance! The others are looking for flaws around, giving priority to attacking the parts where the eyes and scales have fallen off!" As he spoke, Verani pulled out two short knives from his waist, and after two or three seconds, the red-hot state distorted the air around the blade. And at her hands and feet, the well-fitting winter suit is supported by muscles, as if it has been stretched.
Finding an opportunity to get close to the lizard's side, Verani swung his twin knives, and in half a breath he went from its head to its tail, causing a small explosion that caused all the scales to fall off. At this time, Verani also jumped up, dodged the slash that flashed from the original position, and slid directly away when he landed.
On the other side, Russell and others looked for opportunities to get close from several directions at the same time. However, the scales destroyed by the cannon are very limited, and although the power of the scale explosion is not as strong as that of the reinforced steel-hulled bomb, it is completely superior to the steel-hulled bomb by relying on the power of the number of superimposed and those fragments comparable to steel.
"Kleist!" Vilanei shouted as he approached again, he was the only one in the team who had completed the surgical development of the full coverage of the bones, and he was the only one who could not care about the power of the explosion and the fragments.
Wearing glasses, Calester responded, taking advantage of the opportunity of the other four to contain them, and slashed at the lizard's hind legs. The winter clothing was shattered in an instant, and a large area of skin underneath was exposed, revealing the exoskeleton that had been hit by the splinters and scratched white marks.
Under the impact of the explosion, Kleist immediately slashed horizontally, the red blade broke through the rough skin, and the flesh immediately turned into charcoal, along with the hard bones also took on a charred yellow. The big lizard felt the pain, and its eyes swirled, and the crossed pupils locked on it like a death-aiming reticle. The tail swirled, and Kleist immediately blocked the pneumatic weapon to the side.
In the "boom" explosion, Kleist was swept away, and there was no time to struggle, and the moving lizard had already aimed its head at him. Villani and Cherif rushed over and slammed into its eyes before they halted the attack. Kleist immediately pulled out the little spike embedded in the exoskeleton as soon as he landed, and rushed over again the next moment.
The big lizard's hind limbs were injured, and their flexibility had been significantly weakened in their eyes. The terrifying regenerative ability was still physically effective, and the five of them circled around again from all directions. And among the other family members who had cleared most of the second-class creatures, more than a dozen people also drew their pneumatic swords and joined the siege at this moment.
The regeneration of the scales quickly couldn't keep up with the speed of destruction of Villani, and the big lizard used its tail to force back the people around its hind limbs, and the remaining scales on its body began to rhythm. With the sound of "da-da-da", all the scales stood up, and the big lizard stood up, and its eyes closed instantly.
"Scatter γγγ" Russell shouted, and Villani and the others all stopped abruptly in place, wanting to retreat, but detonating the scales of their bodies by themselves was not within their consideration. During the more than an hour of fighting that evening, they did not observe this way of protecting themselves.
The next moment, a series of explosions set off a storm on the big lizard, and the debris radiated a radius of several tens of meters.
"Bang!" the blast of the explosion came to her, and before Verani could even remove the hand that was blocking her eyes, a death-threatening explosion made her tremble all over.
After closing the distance, she saw that the large lizard in front of her was still standing, except for the spikes on its tail, all the scales on its body had fallen off, revealing a layer of brown skin covered in blood. Its mouth was biting into Kleist, its sharp teeth sinking into the exoskeleton with a massive bite.
"Attack!attack!" Velanei shouted, ignoring the scales embedded in his body, and threw his twin knives into the belly of the lizard.
The big lizard that felt the pain made a "gurgling" screeching sound, and when it looked at Verani with half-open eyes, its mouth opened slightly, throwing Kleist into the air, and the next moment its tongue caught up and hit Kleist. In the air of an explosion, Kleist was sent flying.
"two of them, the others take their chances!" Villani picked up a firebolt as he ran, and rained bullets directly at the running lizard, "The regeneration rate is faster than expected, less than twenty seconds." β
The two on the edge rushed to the direction where Kleist landed, and the rest of the people all chased after the lizard. This is their rare opportunity, and when the scales grow back again, they will repeat the attack again and again.
On the other side, Kleist fell into the snow and rolled for an unknown distance before stopping. Coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, he felt better, but his head was still groggy, and even though the exoskeleton had helped him reduce most of the impact, his internal organs were still badly damaged.
Struggling to stand up, a word made his body stiffen.
"Mr. Kleist, you seem to need help?" said Cassia calmly, rising from the snow.
