The officer acted vigorously and the team was soon trotting forward.
"This officer is probably an evolver, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make these people so obedient." He felt a little relieved. With such a strong but reliable teammate, this mission should go much smoother.
What he fears most is meeting a group of pig teammates. Not only will they not be able to help him, but they will also harm him. Although the opponent is strong, this kind of evolutionizer who is a mixed bag of fish and dragons and is extremely selfish needs just such a person to subdue him.
After all, this mission is very dangerous, and even Luo Yuan feels huge pressure. If there was no such person, and the team would be in chaos and leaderless, he would probably do similar things.
But on the one hand, the name is not justified, and on the other hand, perhaps the only way to succeed is to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Not only will the effect be ineffective, but it will also have serious sequelae and endless disasters.
With the sound of hydraulic jets, the thick iron doors of the shelter were opened layer by layer. The noisy sounds coming from the outside quickly became clear. There were even mutated creatures making noises because they were scratching the iron doors outside. A tooth-piercing high-pitched sound.
Several evolvers began to sweat on their foreheads, and their steps gradually became hesitant. Only due to face and orders, they had to continue moving forward.
When passing the stairs of the passage, as the last iron door opened slowly and dullly, the officer raised his hand and made a warning gesture, and the sound of a bullet being loaded sounded crisply.
Most of the evolutionaries belonging to the military raised their rifles and made standard movements of preparing to shoot.
Everyone's breathing became obviously heavier. As time passed by, as the iron door opened, the scene outside gradually came into view, but the mutated creature scratching at the iron door had long since disappeared.
"There is nothing, it seems that he was scared away by the sound of the iron door opening." A big man carefully got out of the iron door, quickly looked around, relaxed at random, and laughed.
"Shut up, everyone, be careful. Mutated creatures that can survive in the apocalypse are not that stupid. I doubt..." the lieutenant colonel said sternly.
Before he finished speaking, a huge insect with a ferocious appearance as big as a van flew out from a hidden corner. The black metal-like forelimbs popped out like lightning, and the spark of lightning penetrated the forehead of the big man who was just joking. The hard skull, under the forelimbs of this mutated insect that was comparable to alloys, could hardly act as a barrier at all, and it was stabbed directly through.
With such an injury, even Lin Xiaoji's super self-healing method could not save him. He stared in disbelief, with the smile that had not dissipated still on his face, and his whole body began to twitch in disorder. Unfortunately, this big man , he died a violent death without even using his evolutionary ability.
Perhaps it was too easy to hunt, so this mutated insect did not leave cautiously immediately. Its cold and terrifying compound eyes looked down at these creatures. Perhaps in its simple thinking, it was an easy to hunt. Food source, and in this food-scarce desert...
However, its thoughts were quickly interrupted by a burst of gunfire. A 15mm tungsten core armor-piercing bullet and a new large-caliber rifle specially designed for mutant creatures were sprayed out of the muzzle at a speed exceeding 900 meters per second. Its power was far beyond A pre-apocalyptic Barrett anti-materiel sniper rifle.
In the end of the world, due to the interruption of global shipping, the remaining countries have become isolated islands, and many technologies have regressed or even disappeared.
But for relatively closed military technology, it is basically well preserved. Even due to the crazy survival pressure in recent years, resources have been greatly tilted, or the entire society is serving the military. Leading to leaps and bounds in military science and technology.
More powerful propellants, better alloys, plus the strong physical fitness of survivors in the apocalypse. When the enemy changed from humans themselves to mutated creatures, some insanely powerful weapons based on the idea of endless maximum power began to emerge. And this new rifle is one of them.
Under this terrible blow, the insect's hard carapace was shattered in an instant. Each wound was almost twenty or thirty centimeters in size. Some were located in vulnerable parts of the belly, and even penetrated directly.
The mutated insect screamed sharply and soon twitched and collapsed to the ground.
…
The person who was joking just now died unexpectedly in the blink of an eye. Even though he had expected the high mortality rate of this mission, he still felt a chill at this moment.
Luo Yuan's face was silent, and he held the knife firmly with his palm. This insect was not very powerful. It was only at the dark blue level at most. It could be almost destroyed easily. But among the crowd, there were people on the left, right, and behind, even at the moment the insect appeared. , has already discovered the crisis, but is also unable to do what he wants.
"I will review it again now. No whispering or making loud noises on the road. Now... keep going." The lieutenant colonel shouted loudly, and then called two soldiers to lift the still twitching body and place it on the roadside.
Everyone has long been accustomed to the cruelty of the apocalypse, and they don't care at all about the disposal of corpses, but their expressions are more depressed.
It was already one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day. The dense fog that had filled the sky above Desert City had been blown away, which seemed to indicate that the place was about to return to the wilderness.
Luo Yuan looked at the city after the catastrophe with a desolate look. This quiet and peaceful border town was now lifeless and turned into ruins.
Most of the post-apocalyptic buildings are made of wood. Maybe it's because of the mutated insects' hard-to-change nature, or maybe it's because they migrate day and night, and they're so hungry that they no longer mind eating anything.
In his sight, the entire desert city turned into a pile of ruins, with only a few important buildings made of high-grade cement and steel bars struggling to support it.
The gunpowder smoke in the air was already inaudible. At this time, the large-scale insect tide had passed. There were only a few mutated insects left in Desert City, but a considerable number of them were physically disabled and abandoned by the large army.
Some of the severely disabled ones would have died long ago and been eaten by other mutated insects. Along the way, you can see the carapace remains of these huge corpses everywhere, shrouded in groups of flies and mosquitoes floating like smoke, like ghosts!
But even so, Desert City is still very dangerous!
In the animal world, a well-fed lion can let zebras wander around its territory, or even let hyenas grab food and provoke. But a hungry lion will never let go of any living creature in its sight. If the lion is still injured, its combat effectiveness may be reduced, but its aggressiveness is the strongest because it missed this time. Opportunity may mean death for it.
Not long after leaving the shelter, the crowd was attacked one after another. Mutated insects with mutilated limbs seemed to have completely lost their minds. Luo Yuan even saw one with its entire tail cut off, dragging half of its colorful internal organs. , struggling to run this way.
However, such an attack did not bring any big trouble to the evolved people who had already prepared for it.
Only then did Luo Yuan realize that he had indeed underestimated these evolvers. Although most of the evolvers were not very strong, the second and third levels were the mainstream among them, and most of them were physical evolvers, some of whom were extremely powerful. , some move quickly, and some have mutations in individual parts. Luo Yuan even saw an evolver with three eyes and one with two faces and four arms, which opened his eyes.
Although the ordinary evolvers in these systems have various abilities, their real strength is not worth mentioning in his eyes, but their extraordinary physical fitness, coupled with the powerful gunpowder weapons in their hands, completely make up for this. a little.
Of course, there were also a few evolvers who made Luo Yuan look at them with suspicion.
One of the evolvers seems to be able to control metal, and the steel bars around the ruins flow like water. A huge mutant insect had just stepped less than twenty meters in front of him when it was stabbed into a honeycomb by metal thorns that suddenly popped out. After the attack, these metal spikes liquefied again and flowed towards him, spreading along the instep of his feet. After a few seconds, they formed a set of silver-white full-body armor.
There was also an evolver. When his ability was activated, the air within three or four meters around him shook violently like boiling water. Countless gravels floated and turned into dust. The power was so amazing that even Luo Yuan couldn't help but take a few more glances. This kind of ability similar to a force field is really terrifying. It's a pity that none of the mutated insects are eager to try it. He doesn't know the specific power, but looking at the performance of the nearby rocks, Luo Yuan believes that even him, if there is no defense, , entering such a force field will quickly be wiped out.
Of course, just like a child holding a gun, it is one thing to be powerful, but the actual battle is another matter. If his ability is limited to this, relying on his own will to defend, even if it can only last for a short moment, will not be enough. It can kill him instantly.
However, the lieutenant colonel officer Luo Yuan paid most attention to did not move at all, which made him slightly disappointed.
