Because the mercenaries killed them too quickly, when the second batch of monsters arrived, there were no humanoid beasts to come to their aid.
The second batch of monsters all came from the depths of the tunnel. They were four-legged reptilian creatures with a body length of 1.5 meters and a height of no more than 50 centimeters. They carried huge gray carapace and had hard and sharp armor on their tails. A pair of thick, multi-branched horns grew from the top of the head. Behind the protection of the horn was an emerald green ellipsoid in the center of the head, and a mouth filled with sharp fangs was located below the head.
Lei Weiming temporarily called these monsters "horned beasts". He gave the order, and all the soldiers opened fire on the horned beasts. The metal barrage woven by small-caliber rifle armor-piercing bullets cannot penetrate the horned beast's carapace and giant horn, and can only splash numerous raining sparks on it.
But when the bullet passes through the incomplete protection of the giant horn and hits the emerald green ellipsoid on the horned beast's head, it can directly crush the emerald body, thereby killing the horned beast.
The movement speed of horned beasts is as high as 110 kilometers per hour, and large groups of horned beasts move together like a moving carpet with alternating gray cloth and green lights! The metal barrage collided rapidly with the group of horned beasts. In the process, countless horned beasts were crushed to pieces and died violently. The dead horned beasts were trampled mercilessly by their companions, or were pushed directly to two sides by the giant horns of their companions behind them. How tall.
Obviously, these horned beasts are higher than humanoids. Both are plague species with large populations, but horned beasts have faster speed, harder defense, and stronger strength. Moving close to the ground makes it more difficult for them to destroy their mobility. Unless the vital points are damaged, they will move forward at full speed without stopping until they pierce the enemy with their giant horns!
After five seconds of high-intensity fire suppression, the mercenaries were still unable to stop the horned beast's charge. Two mercenaries jumped onto the machine gun position of the armored combat vehicle, and controlled the anti-aircraft machine gun to spray out a meter-long tongue of flame. And the violent bullet chain!
The Hell Lions Team 2 has abundant combat resources, and the army of dozens of horned beasts cannot bear the destructive power of the 14.5 mm caliber bullets that the anti-aircraft machine guns cost a lot of money to exchange for. The second batch of monsters were also wiped out by the mercenaries.
The battle only took 40 seconds from start to finish. Two batches appeared at the same time, and the combined lethality of the plague population was enough to tear apart the fourth-level mercenary regiment. They were completely suppressed by the team led by Lei Weiming.
In the deputy captain's infrared vision, the pile of corpses of horned beasts was originally a "red light". The red light continued to dim in the next 30 seconds until it was finally extinguished, which symbolized that the life activities of their bodies had reached the end. The end.
The vice-captain told Lei Weiming about the situation. Since the large group of horned beasts were completely dead and no one was pretending to be dead, the next step was to remove the bodies of these horned beasts so that the convoy could pass through this part of the tunnel smoothly.
Through this battle, Lei Weiming basically determined that special plague species such as "Shark Lizard" and "Diaotou Deer" were formed by the mutation of individual individuals. Otherwise, the attacks launched by the plague population would be more diversified. In a small space, even if They have two anti-aircraft machine guns, which are bound to cause casualties.
But this does not mean that other special plague species will not evolve in this nest.
20 mercenaries walked from the rear to the front and began to carry the horned beasts among the pile of horned beast corpses. A horned beast weighs at least 20 kilograms, and a large one weighs more than 30 kilograms. Lei Weiming wondered what these plague species had grown up on. Since this tunnel has been opened by plague species and is connected to the mountain, there should be one or several large-scale nutrient sources deep in the mountain to provide nutrients for this group of plague species and allow them to breed and inhabit.
Otherwise, it would be incomprehensible to explain why hundreds of plague species would move in tunnels and mountains instead of leaving here and going to the mountains and wilderness.
You must know that this horned beast cannot cause damage without armor-piercing bullets. If it escapes into the wilderness, I don’t know how many refugees and low-level security zones will be wiped out.
Lei Weiming gradually felt that this mission was a bit of B-level difficulty. If there were a large number of similar plague species in the future, and individual special plague species were included in the attack, the risk might even rise to A-level! Equal to the danger is the profit. If they can solve the mystery of this plague species nest, the reward they will receive is hundreds of thousands at least.
After 10 minutes, the team was able to move on. The convoy advanced another 1,000 meters. After this 1,000 meters, the convoy was surrounded and suppressed by a mixed army of more than two hundred horned beasts and humanoid beasts!
The battle was about to break out, the line of fire was opened, anti-aircraft machine guns sounded like a storm, and a 50-meter tunnel was filled with bloody killings. Plague species began to break through the fire net and bully the mercenaries, using their giant horns or bladed arms to kill and injure the mercenaries. When the first drop of human blood splashed onto the tunnel floor, it was as if a precept was broken, and the one-sided battle turned into a life-for-life battle in which both sides surrendered their lives!
Suddenly, a huge figure appeared from the end of the tunnel. The monster is more than 3 meters tall, and is completely an enlarged standing version of the horned beast. Two rhinoceros-like thick legs support the body to stand on the ground, and four hands with sharp claws at the top grow on the forelimbs. The front of the "Big Horn King"'s body is also covered with a hard cuticle. Its body is "bent" and an emerald green ellipsoid grows on its head more than 3 meters high. It is completely invulnerable to frontal shots.
Lei Weiming put down his empty rifle, and on his indifferent face, his black eyes released bloody murderous intent.
Some of his subordinates are dead, and even killing all these plague species is not enough!
Soon enough, Lei Weiming opened his legs as strong as the wind and rushed towards the slow-moving giant horned king. His right hand flashed lightning across his tactical belt and pulled out a long silver whip! The silver whip is three meters long when fully extended. It is the most conductive composite metal weapon made of silver as the main material.
With a thought from Lei Weiming, the electric eel-like body organs released a high-voltage current of 800 volts. The current was guided into the low-resistance electric guidance suit, and then conducted to the top of the silver whip!
There was a loud bang, and the silver whip hit the Big Horn King's chest. The Big Horn King's body suddenly twitched, his muscles spasmed, and his whole body became stiff.
The corners of Lei Weiming's mouth curled up into a stern smile. He waved the silver whip continuously, and the silver whip danced wildly in the air, hitting the giant horned king twice in one second. Each whip applied an electric current starting at 800 volts.
Lei Weiming subjected the Big Horn King to electric shock torture for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, as the last whip carrying 1,200 volts of electric current fell, the Big Horn King collapsed with a disgusting burning smell all over his body.
"Beast, die." Lei Weiming said harshly.
The next second, the situation suddenly changes! The giant horned king put his six feet on the ground and suddenly launched a charge! Its momentum was comparable to that of a train, breaking through a distance of three meters in an instant, like a mountain symbolizing death rushing towards thunder.
