blood stains
The pale and gray world after the blizzard is in a state of confusion.
But the few traces of blood on the spot were very obvious, like bright stains suddenly appearing on a large piece of white cloth.
A modified off-road vehicle overturned and fell on its side in the snow. Mottled rust and countless bullet holes covered the steel fence protecting one side, which seemed to tell the story of an extremely tragic battle.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
Several short figures shuttled in the snow, picking up some stumps and gnawing on them.
They are small in stature and appear to be about the size of a human infant.
The head alone occupies one-third of the body, the torso is hunched and thin, and the gray-blue skin is covered with rotten sores, but it has strong limbs and sharp claws.
"Ghost baby."
"They also come out to feed in the winter."
Long Yan looked from a distance and saw this extremely special alien species.
Don't underestimate this kind of short monster. They originally came from the underground cracks and abyss, but they possess intelligence beyond ordinary creatures. They have about the intelligence level of a normal human being of 5 or 6 years old.
It seems childish and imbecile, but in fact the ghost baby has learned to selectively hunt and immediately choose to escape when the enemy is too powerful.
"Catch a few alive and take them back."
"The living specimens of the ghost infant are very valuable and can be exchanged for a lot of contribution points at the Red Dragon Base."
Silver Star was overjoyed to have found a "valuable" prey. Since the Red Dragon Base was dedicated to studying the forms of various monsters, precious living specimens became extremely valuable and could be exchanged for a large amount of contribution points.
Contribution, just like Dawn Coin, can be used to purchase various things.
"Need help?"
Gu Fan raised his eyebrows, but Yinxing shook his head and said proudly: "I'm not a flower vase. I can handle this little thing."
"Iron Arm, cover us, don't alert the enemy."
"Fox Lady, use poison first, then Skinny Monkey will follow me."
Silver Star showed his commanding charisma as the leader of his combat team. The team members had a clear division of labor. The fox girl hid in the snow and slowly moved forward. A sweet smell filled the surrounding air and slowly spread.
Slender Monkey and Silver Star were also disguised and crawled in the snow without making a sound.
The ghost baby is extremely sharp and fast.
They seemed to sense something. Some of them slightly put down the human arms they were chewing and looked around suspiciously, but found nothing else.
Just right.
Silver Star and Skinny Monkey stopped at just the right position, which was exactly the limit of the ghost baby's perception.
One minute.
Two minutes.
The slightly sweet smell of the fox girl was already filling the surroundings, and she handed over an "OK" gesture from a distance.
superior! !
Silver Star and Skinny Monkey suddenly got into trouble.
The poisonous power of the fox girl also exploded, and the ghost babies immediately felt dizzy and shaky.
Whoosh.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Several sharp silver knives cut through the sky, instantly piercing the claws of several ghost babies and pinning them to the overturned armored vehicle.
The ghost baby bared its teeth and let out a shrill scream of pain. The corrosive liquid with thick sores flowed down, and the steel plate of the off-road vehicle and the steel knife made by Silver Star's superpower made a "sizzling" sound.
Swish, swish, swish.
Slim Monkey is also very skilled.
The two daggers flashed, cutting off the wrists and ankles of the ghost baby. The hunched assassin was actually only a few heads and bodies larger than the ghost baby, but his movements were much more flexible than them.
The ghost baby doll yelled.
They jumped up one after another like mushrooms buried in the snow. There were twenty or thirty of them, surrounding Silver Star and Skinny Monkey. However, they did not launch an attack rashly immediately, but were waiting for the best opportunity. opportunity.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta! !
The iron arm is responsible for covering, and of course will not give them a chance to prepare.
The mechanical arm was connected to a six-barreled Gatling rotating heavy machine gun. Bullet shells thicker than fingers fell like rain, and the storm of bullets also tore apart one side of the encirclement, beating the young bodies of several ghost babies into pieces. Hornet's nest.
Works very well together.
The cooperation between the Dark Dragon troops is comparable to that of the Inquisitors in the Judgment Office, and Silver Star can even be compared with the Legendary Fourteeners.
squeak squeak.
squeak squeak.
The ghost babies were so frightened that they ran around, making rat-like noises and communicating with each other.
They already understood that the enemy in front of them was beyond their ability to fight, and they immediately chose to escape.
This is the difference between ghost babies and other alien species. They know how to escape if they can't be beaten. This alone can greatly increase their probability of survival.
“I caught 5 heads, that’s enough.”
"There's no need to keep chasing."
Yinxing glanced at the ghost baby who was nailed to the off-road vehicle. These living specimens were enough.
Gu Fan and others also came up.
Long Yan's eyes were sharp and he would check the battle marks on the ground from time to time.
"Boss... all the supplies are gone."
"This team of men doesn't look like they were attacked by alien species, but like they were attacked by humans."
Long Jian looked at the steel plate of the overturned off-road vehicle. The bullet holes on it were all caused by heavy firearms.
Many human corpses on the ground were also cut open with sharp blades, and one person's neck had a major artery wiped open. The wounds were smooth and round and did not look like they were caused by aliens.
Gu Fan also nodded.
Yinxing seemed to have been used to this for a long time, and explained: "It's normal. They should have been robbed by bandits on the way, just like us."
bandit.
The Dark Dragon unit where Silver Star belongs is just like the bandits, and they even opened a black shop.
Of course, besides them, there are many other bandits, extremely vicious giant bandits, all wandering around the Chilong base.
"It's been a bit rough lately."
"There were too many refugees and there were too many robbers. They ambush and kill this group of hunters and robbed them of their supplies. Their bodies are still in the snow."
Yinxing was used to this. He glanced at the ghost babies again and continued: "The smell of corpses will attract alien species. Those ghost babies specialize in picking up other people's corpses to eat. I'm afraid there is a ghost baby's nest nearby."
No wonder.
If aliens were to attack humans, all the supplies would have been preserved, and the human corpses would have been eaten up long ago.
Those ghost babies are actually here to "pick up leaks". The remains left by humans fighting each other are enough to feed these small alien monsters, and it is enough to imagine how many people died in the wilderness.
"Be careful."
"These corpses are thrown here, indicating that there are other robbers nearby, and there are also alien species hiding in the dark."
Yinxing's expression became much more serious, but there was a hint of excitement in her eyes. The more dangerous it was, the more it aroused her desire to fight.
In this regard, she seems to be somewhat similar to Gu Fan!
"Wait a moment."
As everyone was preparing to set off again, Gu Fan seemed to have thought of something.
"Let's first look for the nearby ghost baby's cave."
"There should be some special species evolved among the ghost babies, which may be of some use in the future."
