Returning from the abyss

Chapter 110 The Evil Claw Hunt
When they finally saw the iron fence around the mine, the sky had become a little better.The roaring blizzard eased a little.Due to the slow speed of the car, it is past dawn at this moment, and the sun behind the dark clouds is struggling to send a little light to the ground.

Lu Ning was sleepy and tired. After arriving at the mine, she had to jump out of the car to let the cold wind wake herself up. Then she put on goggles, carried her backpack and walked towards the entrance of the mine.Xuan Zitong installed a few bombs around the car to prevent someone from stealing the car, and then quickly caught up with Lu Ning.

"My pity, I'm Lu Ning, and I received a response."

Lu Ning in front was already making contact with the walkie-talkie.

"... Sha... Received. We have already headed south, let me tell you the bad news first, that evil claw is probably hunting you around. There is also good news, I killed a stone man before I left, and told Xuan Zi Tong said that her explosive bombs are very useful."

"Don't worry about those, how many do you want to kill now?"

"I have three more in the car."

"That's not easy."

Although there are as many as seven evil claws coming from the south, it is precisely because of this number that it is extremely difficult to hunt them directly.Not every evil claw has poor defense, plus their respective abilities, even if you have a heavy weapon in your hand, you may not be able to steal one.

"I planted a row of landmines on the way to mines and ruined towns. It is the same type that was used to attract biting insects in the previous research. If it is detonated, it will definitely attract the attention of some monsters, but I need mines on the front line. One eye to help me see where I am."

"Eye? Coincidentally, I have one in my car." Mo Lian glanced at the back seat with a smile, "Let's talk about your plan directly, our only eye is here."

"Are you sure? If you don't get close in this weather..."

"You probably forgot that there is something called thermal imaging. Even the sniper rifle of this ghostly weather Zhuyou can capture all the heat sources within one kilometer. Even if she dares not, there is me."

"...Then, you'd better be in position before... ten o'clock. If the forecast is correct, the monsters will pass by the fork where I planted mines between 10:30 and [-]:[-]."

"Well, then what?"

"Tell me the specific arrangement and location of the monsters through the radio. I will give priority to firing signal flares here to attract the attention of some monsters. You have to keep an eye on the seven evil claws there. They don't have the ability to move at super speed. Once Among them, the beetle and the orangutan moved to the west side, using the fire wall type incendiary bombs to cut the battlefield and isolate the monsters on this side."

"Hey, that sounds super dangerous!"

"Don't worry, I will detonate the mine on the southeast side when you get your attention, and if there is no accident, Sister Yun will follow the explosion. There is a target she wants to hunt, a praying mantis. Don't talk to her Grab, and you can solve the rest by drawing monsters according to the situation."

"Easy to say...Keep in touch, I think I saw the sign, one kilometer to go."

"Please, I really can't implement it in my current state..."

"Go back and invite me to the four hundred and sixty-six luxurious dinner in Dragon Wo Palace, don't just express it verbally!" Mo Lianren shouted with a smile, and then terminated the communication.

Lu Ning let out a long breath.

"She, can, do it?" Xuan Zitong asked.

"Since you promise, you can do it."

The scenery outside became a little brighter again. Lu Ning and Xuan Zitong walked into the miner's hut next to the mine, and lit the coal pellet stove in the room, adding a little warmth to the cold.

"Minus 33 degrees, good news."

Today's outdoor temperature measurement will soon yield results, and the temperature has not continued to drop, and has remained at this level.The current situation is almost when the cold wave is the most violent. If the temperature does not continue to drop even at this time, it means that it will probably not drop in the future.

However, it will be a long time before the temperature rises. If you don't pay attention to the cold protection, the temperature will be enough to freeze to death.

When blood returned to their frozen faces, the communicator rang again.

"Lu Ning, Zhu You has found a suitable observation position, and I'm heading towards the fork in the road. Zhu You will also be connected to the channel soon, and you listen to her report."

"Is she all right?"

"I, I can, as long as...don't let them get close..."

Zhu You's trembling voice sounded in the communicator, with a hint of fear and confusion.

"You can already see the traces of the vanguard. The maximum number of heat source reactions is fourteen, which are impact elephants... Statistics on the number of monsters, ground troops 160 six, correction, 190 four... The number of impact elephants has increased to 21, and the direction of travel is due north Twelve degrees to the west, the estimated time to arrive at the fork is, twelve minutes..."

"Where's the evil claw?"

"The suspected signal source has not been found yet, and it should not have entered the imaging range of the scope." Zhu You's voice became smoother and smoother, and the trembling feeling gradually disappeared.

"Okay, let me know when you find out."

While listening, Lu Ning had already drawn a rough distribution map on the dusty table.

Three minutes later, Zhu You's voice sounded again.

"The high-brightness heat source appears, with strong independence. It belongs to the thermal induction signal of non-homogeneous organisms. More than 90.00% can be judged as evil claws... The number of high-brightness heat sources currently appears is three, and the vanguard is about to arrive at the fork in the road!"

"Lu Ning, do you want to do it now?" Mo Lianren also started talking.

"Wait for my signal, can you tell what they look like based on the heat source?"

"……cannot."

At this distance, all the signal feedback is a point, although there are big and small, but Zhu You really can't distinguish the appearance of the monster through this difference.

"Forget it, then..."

Lu Ning walked out of the miner's hut, took out the flare gun and fired a red flare.

Even in the snowstorm, the ray of red light in the sky is still dazzling.

"The incendiary bomb is thrown! Lu Ning, you may not be able to last for a few dozen seconds! Hurry up!"

"Remote detonation, first the mines on our side." Lu Ning immediately asked Xuan Zitong to start the bait attack.

"Seven! Seven signals have appeared! Now there are three signals attracted by your side—"

"I saw it, but they also brought a group of monsters, not many in number, and there are giants in them!" Mo Lianren lowered his voice.

"Quantity is not a problem, who are the evil claws leading the team?"

"Orangutans, butterflies...the last one can't be seen clearly."

"That's enough, Zhu You, pull the butterfly away, we are going down the mine, you evacuate there as soon as possible, and find a chance to assassinate those evil claws. I remember that there is still one burst bomb for Mo Lianren before. One, plus Zhu You's sniper attack should be enough."

"Wait, those monsters..."

"The shelter is gone, they can go wherever they like! If you finish the task, run away! Good luck-"

There was a noise from the communicator, and at the same time, the decoy mines in the southeast also began to explode. The chaotic group of monsters split into several strands, and fell into pieces in the snowstorm, turning into several scattered teams.

This time will not be very long, and the leading Evil Claws will eventually gather the team, and this short opportunity is either to run, or to find a way to attack the Evil Claws now.

On Lu Ning's side, after entering the mine, he was soon separated from Xuan Zitong on the left and right.

The orangutan is the chosen target for Xuan Zitong. This long-haired evil claw is quite afraid of flames, and its ability to spit oil is also restrained by flames. Apart from being too huge and definitely strong in defense, it can be said that it is a relatively Easy to deal with evil claws.As long as Xuan Zitong ensures that he will not be touched, it will not be particularly difficult to kill it by relying on the layout in the mine.

Lu Ning is going down.

She doesn't know which one will come, this passage is narrower than Xuan Zitong's, if it can come in, it must be a small evil claw, preferably a beetle.

The shell is hard and has the ability to discharge—different from the natural and powerful lightning strikes of plasma beasts, the beetle releases small lightning balls. Although it can kill people with one blow, it will be quickly led away by good conductors.

The sharp knife buried here is specially prepared to kill it.

Inside the tunnel is dark and dry.The thick soil and rocks have slightly blocked the severe cold, so that the depths will not be as cold as the outside world.However, the increasingly thin oxygen is a disadvantage. Here, Lu Ning can't use a wide range of explosive attacks like Xuan Zitong's line, otherwise the result is likely to cause him to suffocate to death.

Not long after, there was an explosion from behind, and the sound echoed in the empty mine pit, and was transmitted over and over again.

They have arrived, and have found traces of humans left outside.

Her feet began to vibrate slightly, and the dirt and stone chips above the mine began to fall one by one. Lu Ning slightly quickened her pace and walked towards a deeper place.

A rattling sound was approaching from far to near, approaching here at an extremely fast speed.It was the sound of insect-like joints hitting the stone, but Lu Ning didn't have time to listen carefully, and a pale yellow smoke drifted down the tunnel towards her!

Lu Ning immediately quickened her pace, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. She originally planned to lure the beetles, but the shelter was destroyed in one day and the borrowing plan was completely bankrupt. It is almost inevitable that there will be problems with the temporary lure plan when there is an extreme shortage of manpower. that's it.

For example, what got in was not a beetle, but an evil claw code-named "Spider".

Although it has such a nickname, this evil claw is only named so because it has eight legs. Its body is flat and fusiform, and the eight legs are slender and easy to move. This body structure makes it easier to move. It looks huge, but its body length is only about two meters long.However, even so, the power of this monster "Poison Mist" is extremely poorly compatible with a closed mine!
Lu Ning started to run. The sharp knife buried on the ground was only a few tens of centimeters long, and it was useless against the spider's evil claws that were hanging in the air. All she could rely on now was the avalanche blast prepared as a backup!
The poisonous mist spread quickly, even if Lu Ning covered her mouth and nose in advance, she could only watch the smoke pass by her, the rustling sound behind her became louder and louder, and the numbness on Lu Ning's body gradually began to increase.

boom!
Finally, she ran into the safe range, and the explosives exploded under the remote control. Huge cracks appeared on the top of the mine, and large rocks fell behind Lu Ning, which also blocked the escape of the poisonous mist.
