In the next moment, his whole body violently shook, and a scorching feeling came from his chest. Only then did he realize that the one he had hit was not zero, but something else!
At this moment, the loud sound of a sniper rifle echoed in the office.
Zero appeared from behind the cover. He had just thrown out the body of a staff member from the base office. At the same time that Gounabel's attack was attracted, Zero also grabbed the opportunity to shoot the killer's heart. However, Gounabel did not fall because of this. Under Su Yun's gaze, he looked at her chest in shock, then revealed a strange smile.
"That was close. If it were any other person …" This shot will take their lives, but your opponent is me. I am immortal! " Gounabel screamed, his entire body trembling violently. In the next moment, dozens of thick vines pierced towards the direction of zero like javelins.
"In this world, there is nothing that can't be killed!" At the same time, he kicked with both feet, lifting the tables and chairs to welcome the incoming vines.
The tables and chairs were like mush, they were easily pierced through by the vines. However, these things were not invisible, so the thorny vines' piercing speed could not help but slow down. Taking advantage of this period of time, he lowered his body, rolled, bounced, and sprinted.
He executed a few movements consecutively, without any pause at all. His speed was so fast that Gounabel did not even have time to catch a zero in time, zero had already broken through the door and headed towards him.
Gounabel cursed, and turned to give chase. As a result, there were flashes of fire and gunshots along the way.
A Vengeance was wandering around the intersection's main path. On both sides of the Vengeance were bloodstained metal walls. There were countless lines on the wall. Those were the circuits of the electronic crystal tubes that were hidden inside the wall. However, due to various reasons, they were all exposed now. Under the walls on both sides, there were countless bug corpses. The majority of these corpses were Man-Faced Moths, and in between, a half-worm-man would appear.
The half-worm-man was the same as the butcher, they would use simple weapons made by themselves. However, it was different from the butcher's favorite cold weapon. The half-worm-man used energy type weapons that could be used to connect with the body, thus being able to use life to harm the enemy. These weapons had different shapes and sizes, their lethality was directly related to the strength of the half-worm-man's biological energy. But even the smallest weapon was enough to leave a bloody hole in the Vengeance.
These corpses were all the masterpieces of the Vengeance, but after killing so many bugs, the Vengeance also suffered a loss. Half of its head had been cut off by something unknown, but it didn't hurt its brain. But from the wound, he could see that Vengeance's grey brain was moving around. On the other hand, this large bug was covered in bloodstains. It had its own blood, but most of the blood belonged to the enemies.
The enemies were the Human-Faced Moths and the half-worm-man. Originally, the Vengeance and her neighbors didn't get along well with each other. Occasionally, people would run out from the layer base to look at the Man-Faced Moths, but there were very few of them. Vengeance's lazy nerves did not have any extra motivation for them to take action against the Man-Faced Moths. But it was different this time, since three days ago, a large number of Man-Faced Moths started swarming towards the four-tier base.
This aroused the anger of the Vengeance, although the weather had turned cold, these fat insects were not willing to move their bodies easily. However, this did not mean that the Vengeance was magnanimous. No matter which type of insect it was, it had a strong regional character. four-tier base had already been tacitly accepted as his territory by the Vengeance, but now these bold neighbors actually came in openly, and there were so many of them that it seemed like they were going to take over the four-tier base.
Vengeance's Fury was successfully ignited by the Moths. The warriors who were originally hibernating were awakened and they joined the ranks of the counterattack. Just like that, the war between the Vengeance and the Man-Faced Moths had lasted for three days and three nights. Countless Man-Faced Moths died, and more than three hundred elites like half-worm-man fell, but the losses of the Vengeance were also great.
At least fifty of the Vengeance s had fallen into a deep slumber. For Vengeance s whose community had matured for less than two hundred years, the deaths of fifty soldiers was already a heavy loss.
The big bug let out a muffled roar as it burned with rage and pain in the Vengeance's nerves. The roar echoed through the passageway and slowly spread out.
Vengeance's skin would occasionally wrinkle, this was its unique ability. The worms whose eyes had already degenerated after living underground for a long time started to undulate through their skin creases. With Vengeance as the starting point, they started to undulate towards their surroundings, creating a circular wave field with a diameter of 500 meters. When shock waves hit an obstacle, they feed the data back to the worm's brain, allowing it to "see" anything in the dark.
At this time, in the Vengeance's position, the trajectory of a humanoid moth suddenly appeared. The Vengeance immediately entered a fighting state. It shrunk its body and the huge living creatures in its body could be transmitted to the biological bomb s on the surface of its body through special channels. The sarcoma-like biological bomb emitted a blue flame from the inside. This kind of beautiful but dangerous fluorescent light was the symbol of the Vengeance's attack!
From the six nostril like orifices on Vengeance's skin, an equal amount of hot air flowed out. Suddenly, the surface of the worm's skin quickly rose, as if lifting a wave of meat wave s. Following the formation of the meat wave, one by one, the biological bomb was thrown towards the direction of the Human-Faced Moths that appeared.
When the first biological bomb exploded, the blue colored electric flame illuminated an area of a few hundred meters. In front of him was a dense crowd of thousands of Human-Faced Moths. When the biological bomb's light flames appeared, the human face moth behind them knew that their whereabouts had been exposed, so it only danced in the air, bringing along the wind that was mixed with the nerve poison Su, and pounced towards the Vengeance.
Hence, what welcomed them were even more biological bomb.
As the explosions rang out, the dark blue flame flowers began to bloom within the dark base. The blooming of each blue flame represented the death of over a hundred Human-Faced Moths. Life withered in the blazing flames, but death did not stop the Man-Faced Moths from attacking. Instead, they became more and more crazy!
Every time a biological bomb was thrown out, the skin on Vengeance's body would bulge out. The body fat changes rapidly at the command of the brain, separating muscle tissue and nerve vessels from the body to form a sarcoma-like, independent body. But this independent body will leave a minute wall of flesh to connect the insect's body. When the Vengeance needs this, the creature inside the insect's body can quickly be injected into the sarcoma through the wall of blood, forming a biological bomb that can delay the explosion!
Using this method, the Vengeance became like a military factory, endlessly producing biological bomb, and blossoming flowers of death in the base.
Chapter 255 - Weaknesses
Although the attacks of the Vengeance were powerful, there were still too many of them. As the Vengeance continued to attack, the speed at which the biological bomb was being created was gradually unable to keep up with the need to attack.
Gradually, some of them crossed the line of fire in the Vengeance. They pounced onto the large insect's body and continuously flapped their wings to avoid the poison Su powder that was hidden inside the insect wings. They did not continuously sprinkle them, and used the Vengeance's skin to enter its body, ultimately disintegrating its brain's control over its body.
However, the Vengeance's resistance to poisons was not weak either, a few human faced moths were not enough to defeat it. As a result, it shook its body
violently, and the huge shockwave blasted the Human-Faced Moths on its body away, only hitting the wall. At such a close distance, if the Vengeance used biological bomb, it would unavoidably affect him. But its methods of attack were not limited to just the biological bomb s. That huge body, no matter if it was charging or waving about, carried with it the strengthening force of at least the fifth step.
The Human-Faced Moths, who was thrown onto the wall by the big bug, didn't have time to react when they saw the Vengeance crash towards them like a train. The human faced moths started to panic, but the Vengeance's speed was extremely fast, just as the human faced moth was flapping its wings, the big bug had already arrived. In the passageway, a black shadow slammed into the wall. The metal wall immediately gave out a groan, but the human-faced moth within it had already been turned into a bloody paste.
However, even more Man-Faced Moths had pounced on them during this period of delay. They hung on Vengeance's body like large specimens, using their claws and fangs to secure themselves. This way, the Vengeance would not be able to shake them off so easily. In just a few minutes, there were already a hundred Man-Faced Moths that were continuously scattering poison powder towards Vengeance. From afar, Vengeance who was covered with Man-Faced Moths could no longer see even half of their own bodies!
More and more Man-Faced Moths rushed over, and at this time, Vengeance's body started glowing with a blue light.
The blue light quickly expanded and turned into a blue halo. The man-faced moth that was originally hanging on the large worm seemed to have suffered some sort of shock, only flapping its wings and flying away. Unexpectedly, when they didn't have enough time to retreat, a blue flame jumped out from the electric snake and engulfed them. Not only did the fire curtain pass by the human face moth that could not retreat in time, it also swept the other insects within a hundred meters of its body.
The Human-Faced Moths that was hit by the flames felt its entire body turning cold. However, the parts that were licked by the flames felt like they were on fire. The hairs on its body began to swirl and burn. Following that, the layer of fat on the surface of the face moth melted like hot cream, exposing the internal organs of the face moth to the air. The blue flames were as viscous as slurry. They were plastered on the surface of the human face moth and refused to leave it. After the wound expanded, they burrowed deeper into the body of the human face moth.
As a result, many Man-Faced Moths were sucked into their bodies by the blue flames, spewing out streams of flames before falling to the ground and dying.
In the dark base, the blue flame shrank and eventually converged into a pillar of flame that shot up into the sky, creating a hole in the ceiling of the base and revealing complicated electrical cables within. In the base, blue flames were burning all over the face of the Human-Faced Moths. It was as if a blue rain of fire had rained down on them.
Although he was at a disadvantage for the time being, Vengeance still paid the price of having 60% of his body's surface area burned. In order to get rid of these human faced moths, Vengeance had ignited one of his biological bomb. The explosion of the bomb not only killed the human face moth, but it also involved itself. At this moment, the skin and flesh on Vengeance's back was charred black. When the black scorched skin split open, one would see the constantly squirming muscles and nerve line s in the Vengeance's body.
The Vengeance howled in pain. Its anger made it lose its mind and turn it into the embodiment of berserk. The big bug ignored its injuries and changed its direction, charging towards the remaining Human-Faced Moths. On his body, biological bomb were taking form. It was just that some of the sarcoma formed on his injured body, the process was so painful that Vengeance wanted to commit suicide. Once the biological bomb was formed, the big bug immediately activated its biological energy to recharge the bombs and shot them out one by one.
In an instant, at least twenty biological bomb were thrown towards Vengeance, and at the same time, they formed balls of life-threatening blue colored lightning fire!
Just as the Vengeance and the Man-Faced Moths were engaged in a chaotic battle, the sound of gunshots rang out. Judging from the intense gunfire, it was a machine gun with high firing speed. There were more than ten bugs that were cut into pieces by the bullets, but most of the bullets still landed on Vengeance. Its injured back received a lot of care, causing its charred and torn flesh to become badly mangled.
The Vengeance suddenly shot towards the direction of the explosion and released a shockwave. The shockwave swept past the barrier and reported the data back to the Vengeance's brain. Thus, a stiff figure appeared in the big bug's mind. It was this person with a machine gun as a third party on the battlefield.
Judging from the movements of the human figure, the Vengeance was thinking of the living corpse that resided in the two-tier base. In the eyes of the Vengeance, the living corpse and the Human-Faced Moths were considered to be the same in numbers, but their combat power was negligible. Other than the butcher and the lacerator, the regular living corpse really did not put the Vengeance in his eyes, even though the living corpse knew how to use human weapons.
However, even the second floor's creatures had invaded his territory, which made the Vengeance exceptionally angry. For a moment, the big bug's anger towards the living corpse overcame the human face moth. Thus, the Vengeance turned and pounced towards the living corpse. Behind it, there were countless Human-Faced Moths.
When the bugs pounced on the living corpse, the unintelligent living corpse suddenly stopped. Then, as if he had received some order, he suddenly turned around and ran towards the fulcrum on the left. Its speed was not fast, because the Vengeance could clearly feel its existence. At the same time, its speed was not slow either, because the swarm of bugs kept about five hundred meters away from it.
Just like that, the swarm of bugs that were battling just now was pulled towards an unknown corner of the living corpse. When the cross passage regained its silence, after a short moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard, breaking the silence of the passage.
Looking at the lightning that rose from far away, Eva glared at Feng and said: You owe me 50 yuan, don't go back on your words!
Feng said solemnly: "I assure you, Miss Eva, I have never had a record of credit!"
Hearing these words, Su and Ma Pei lowered their heads at the same time. They clearly knew that Feng still owed Old Henry a lot of money for the wine.
After nullifying Gounabel, the team continued to advance through the main tunnel, which was filled with many twists and turns. The route was based on the information provided by Callio. Although there were a total of three safe passages in each layer base, some of the passages were distant while others were already damaged. In Callio's map, the details of the passage had already been given out for the members to choose.
After they left, Feng carried the responsibility of leading the team temporarily. He chose an entrance that was closer to him, but part of the route required him to pass through the Vengeance and the Human-Faced Moths' battlefield. In view of this situation, Feng made a suggestion. That was to use the living corpse that Eva controlled to lure the bugs. This method was simple and feasible, and Eva herself had no objections. However, looking at the dwindling number of living corpse, this woman showed her stinginess and requested to sell them at the price of ten yuan per living corpse.
Feng agreed. However, based on his reputation, whether he would repay Eva this debt was still unknown.
Watching the procession approach the entrance of the five-tier base, Feng gradually withdrew his smile. The handsome face in the helmet frowned slightly.
It seemed that he had spent a bit too much time on it. Feng thought.
On the culture tank that was twenty meters tall, a black shadow appeared. The black shadow crouched down and cautiously shrank its body. In the pitch-black space, there was a little golden light that was like fire or flames.
As he squatted on top of the remaining culture tank, it was severely
damaged. The base was tilted and the glass cover was broken into pieces. The ground was covered with a green color. It was unknown what kind of culture liquid had stained it, but it had left behind traces. As long as the culture tank used any external force, it would immediately fall to the ground. However, Zero didn't move at all. It was as if it were a leaf, seemingly weightless.
Many damaged states of Nocturnal's tactical suit had appeared, and the scars on its body had come from Gounabel's masterpiece. This man's mutated thorny vines were like a sharp saw when they pricked and twitched. Given the special nature of the materials used by the Nocturnal tactical suit, they were still unable to defend against Gounabel's attacks. Fortunately, Zero did not leave Gounabel with any fatal flaw, so he could still squat here and wait for the opportunity to attack this plant type mutant.
Looking at the exit in front of the culture tank, the muzzle of Zero was already aimed at that spot. As long as Gounabel appeared, Zero would give him a pleasant surprise. According to her calculations, Gounabel should have already appeared, but there was not a single person at the entrance.
Something must have gone wrong. Just then, he heard a strange sound.
Rustle, rustle, rustle …
It was as if he gently brushed against the ground, causing Zero's body to suddenly tense up. The signal to danger was extremely strong.
Without any time to think, he rolled down, and started rolling down from the top of the culture tank. With a quick movement of his body, more than ten thick vines suddenly erupted from the wall behind him. The sharp thorns on the vines combined with the speed of the bullets, instantly swept past the vines on Zero's back, creating a bloody mist.
In the darkness, a tongue stretched out to catch a few smears of blood. Gounabel swallowed it down, her head actually stuck out from the wall!
Gounabel's body had already turned into a bunch of twisting vines. His clothes were also torn, and she could no longer maintain her human form. This was all forced out by Zero. Previously, when Gounabel was still in a human form, not only did she not kill Zero, she even suffered from his constant counterattacks. The frustrated Gounabel finally revealed her strongest fighting stance. Other than her head, the rest of her body had turned into a plant.
