Doomsday Totem

Chapter 313 Trembling
After the battle, the convoy lined up and pulled over to the side of the road.The armored vehicle attacked by the monitor lizard was seriously damaged. Not only the body was dented, but even half of the wheels and bearings were deformed.Everyone hurriedly moved out the wounded trapped in the car, and the temporary medical officer Hillman led two male field nurses to take care of them.Including the driver, there were a total of five wounded, and all four investigators were injured.

Fortunately, it was not far from Dawn Fortress. Not long after Billy reported the situation, Regional Commander Brian sent a team of marines, a team of road engineering personnel, a large tow truck, and two field ambulances. .

About half an hour later, engineering personnel repaired the road and the protective fence on the edge of the cliff, and the ambulance also sent the wounded away.Iron Slag rearranged the investigators, and then asked Marcus to lead four marines and a driver to be responsible for the forward investigation, while Match, who was slightly injured, stayed in the team to recuperate.After the arrangements were made, the convoy set off again, heading towards Highway 163.

After experiencing this incident, everyone experienced the danger of the bottomless abyss, and the atmosphere of the whole team became dignified in vain. Even the cynical Hillman put away his smile and looked around more. Somewhat vigilant.

At this time, the forward speed of the convoy has dropped significantly. The original speed of about [-] kilometers per hour has dropped to more than [-] kilometers per hour. At the same time, the safe distance between the large troops and the scouts has also been shortened. Get the Ten Thousand Years Ship." If the speed of the car was not so fast just now, maybe the result would be much better, and it is really depressing to lose five team members all at once.

In this way, the convoy moved forward all the way, but in the following time, it was surprisingly smooth, and there was no danger or any unexpected incident.

However, when the convoy reached a fork and turned into Highway 163 more than ten hours later, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

First of all, the terrain of Route 163 is steep, and the rocks along the way are between soft rock areas and earth rock areas. In order to avoid landslide points, the road has been built with twists and turns, and the height difference is large.Secondly, the road is extremely narrow, and in many places, only a truck can barely pass, and even at some corners, you must drive close to the protective railing on the edge of the cliff, which is really frightening. If you are not careful, you will fall into the endless void. Turned into fly ash.Third, not only are there no street lights here, but even the Pleiades of Light that can be seen everywhere in the abyss are very rare, so they can only rely on the lighting of car lights.The co-pilot must stick his upper body out of the window, use a flashlight to assist in lighting and observe the terrain, and provide real-time information to the driver.Looking at the deep and boundless darkness outside the car window, nervousness and fear are the most natural emotions.

Fortunately, after entering Highway 163, there has been no meeting of cars, otherwise it will only be worse.One can imagine the danger of reversing on cliffs with undulating terrain and winding and narrow roads.

Here, the speed of the convoy has dropped to five kilometers per hour, which is almost the same as walking, and it may even be faster than walking.Before entering Highway 163, they rested for two hours at a transfer station on Highway 29, but now it seems that they are in a hurry.Billy, who was the guide, originally wanted to suggest that the commander rest for a night before leaving, but when the words came to his lips, he was gently poked by Judith, and he swallowed the words again when he sensed the commander's haste.

Every time he came to a dangerous road section, Iron Slag would get off the car and go to the front to check in person.A few hours later, the convoy came to a narrow turning point.Iron Slag, like the previous few times, came to the front and watched the truck turn slowly.But at this moment, a messy and sharp hissing sound came from far to near.The dense sound was like the waves of the deep sea, and it became overwhelming in a blink of an eye, piercing people's eardrums with pain.

"Vampire bat! Ready to fight!" Iron Slag reacted immediately, shouted loudly, took a picture of the alloy helmet, and turned on the infrared vision.According to the information in the college textbook, the abyssal vampire is a warm-blooded mammal. The adult wing length is about 35 meters, the body length is about one meter, and the weight is about [-] kg to [-] kg. It can be detected by infrared scanners. arrive.

The moment the lens was turned on, Iron Slag's vision was red, and in the void outside the cliff, thousands of red flying shadows were rushing towards him, like a large cloud of fire.Seeing this scene, Iron Slag quickly jumped onto the roof of an armored vehicle behind, pushed away the marines who were still in shock, turned the muzzle of the Vulcan cannon on the vehicle, and aimed at the giant bats that were rushing from the sky, without any hesitation. He hesitated and pressed the trigger.

"Hiss, hiss..." With a sharp sound, the twelve barrels of the Vulcan cannon rotated at high speed.

In the next second, tongues of flame spewed out from the jet-black cliff!

"Da da da da da da da da da da da da..."

In an instant, high-explosive warheads shot out one after another, breaking through the high-density air, rubbing them bright red, and shooting directly at the target with high-speed rotation. It exploded.

"Chirp... chirp... chirp... chirp... chirp... chirp... chirp..." Under the bombardment of the Vulcan cannon, the vampire bats swarmed like a pot of boiling water, The shrill hiss echoed between the cliffs, lingering endlessly, and spreading far away.

As the iron slag fired, the marines reacted one after another, jumped out of the car, pulled the safety catch, and squatted down to shoot wildly at the bats.In an instant, gunshots, roars, whines, and screams mixed together and resounded throughout the world.

However, just after one round of shooting, the swarm of bats rushed a hundred meters away, and by the next round of shooting, the swarm of bats had rushed to the vicinity of the convoy, emitting sharp sound waves, and rushed forward one after another.

In an instant, there was a continuous sound of shouting, screaming and scuffling on the mountain road.At the same time, on the top of the armored vehicle, a vampire bat opened its sharp claws on its wings, and swooped towards the iron slag it was shooting at.The angle of this bat is very tricky, and the angle of its attack is exactly the blind spot of this human's vision.In the next moment, its sharp claws will cut open the prey's body, and its fangs will drink blood.However, its seemingly ferocious and quick bite, in the eyes of its prey, is like a sandbag flying in slow motion.

Out of the corner of Tie Zha's eye, he caught sight of the black figure that was about to reach him, and immediately turned around and punched the vampire bat on the head.The latter immediately shot straight to the rear like a fired shell, killing and knocking over dozens of companions in succession, before falling into the abyss with blood spurting from mouth and nose.Seeing more and more bats approaching him, Tie Slag let the Marines beside him take over the Vulcan Cannon, while he swung his fists and started an ancient martial art - Bajiquan.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Amidst a series of muffled sounds, the giant bats that rushed towards them flew out like sandbags one by one, and like bowling balls, knocked over a large group of companions behind them, and then fell into the abyss with them.However, although these vampire bats were not strong, they were extremely numerous, and they were ferocious by nature, fearless of death, and rushed towards the convoy against the hail of bullets.

As soon as the confrontation took place, one marine was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by a vampire bat rushing towards him.Before he could struggle to get up, he was pushed back by the bats following him.In the blink of an eye, the protective clothing on his body was bitten and riddled with holes, and his whole body was bleeding profusely. It seemed that he would not survive.And the other soldier was desperately pinching the neck of a vampire bat, while rolling and wrestling on the ground, both of them fell off the cliff.Fortunately, Jerome, Porcupine and other Power Armor fighters were very skilled. They stopped most of the vampire bats on the front line and kicked them into the abyss. Otherwise, the battle would only become more severe.

In the midst of the battle, a vampire bat circled to the back, took advantage of the iron slag and swung left and right, just knocked the gap between the two companions into the air, opened its bright fangs, and bit towards his neck.

"Crack!" There was a crack, and a bright spark flashed across the back of Iron Slag's neck.The vampire bat got his wish and bit the back of his neck, but instead of tasting the blood, it broke the four sharpest fangs.The teeth of the abyssal vampire bat are comparable to diamonds, and the bite force is comparable to that of a crocodile. Even a thick steel plate can drag out a few deep marks.However, when it bit the back of the human's neck, it didn't move at all, and the teeth collapsed without even scratching.

Facing the uninvited guest, Tie Slag grabbed it, grabbed the wing with one hand, and the hind leg with the other, and then pulled hard!There was only a "crack" sound, and before the vampire bat could utter a mournful cry, it spewed out a large cloud of blood mist and was torn in two.Immediately afterwards, Iron Slag leaned back, like throwing a ball, and smashed out the remnant body in his hand.

"Puff puff..." Amidst several muffled sounds, another seven or eight big bats were hit and fell into the abyss.Taking advantage of a moment of respite, Tie Slag glanced around the battlefield, only to find that more and more vampire bats were pounced into the mountain path.Although he was in a semi-invincible state, he still couldn't stop the huge swarm of vampire bats. Even if he was unscathed, he still couldn't save so many team members.

"Roar!"

While worrying, a scream suddenly came from the dim abyss. The whistle sounded from bottom to top. At the beginning, it was like a power armor passing across the sky, and then it was like several mechas leaping into the sky at the same time. It started, and then it turned out to be like dozens of aircraft taking off at the same time, and hundreds of thousands of jet bags and fuel propellers erupted at the same time, forming a loud noise.

Tie Slag, who was on the edge of the cliff, became deaf in an instant, as if the whole world had lost its sound.At the same time that he lost his hearing, his brain felt as if he had been pierced by thousands of steel needles. The pain made his hairs stand on end, his blood pressure soared, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on both sides of his temples burst out.

Accompanied by this earth-shattering roar, an incomparably majestic airflow spurted up, as spectacular as a steam blowout, and immediately smashed the bats in mid-air to pieces.

At the same time, an indescribable feeling of suffocation came from the deepest part of his soul. Even though he was used to seeing the iron slag of life and death, he felt a bone-chilling fear at this moment. He bared his teeth and tensed his body, His whole body trembled, as if he had fallen into boundless despair.This is a reaction derived from biological instinct, the panic and depression one feels when facing an irresistible disaster, or when facing a creature that is huge and several times larger than oneself.
