Chapter 544 529 Ghost From the Other Side of the World
Deafening gunshots echoed in the icy sea. Under the deck of the Imer, there was actually this kind of heavy firepower that should only appear on the Glorious-class cruiser. The two obviously modified AK630 6-barrel 30mm anti-aircraft rapid-fire guns actually tilted the barrels 45 degrees downward, and the flames they spewed were several meters long.
Nono quickly found the information about this thing from the information stored in his mind. The effective range is 8 kilometers, the rate of fire is 4,000 rounds per minute, and it uses lethal explosive incendiary bombs and tracer armor-piercing bombs to attack alternately.
This caliber and rate of fire naval gun is really a cannon to kill mosquitoes when used to deal with Hydra, a subspecies of dragons. In science fiction movies, this thing is used to beat aliens and Godzilla.
The steel barrage weaves into a dense fine net, and the black tide of blood and flesh splashes where the grid sweeps.
In the distance, the blue snakes were still pouring out of every crack and porthole of the Yamal. Looking from too far away, it looked like a piece of rotten meat covered with maggots.
They seemed to have no fear. Facing the continuous strafing of the ship's guns, they were still pushing the front line towards the Imer frozen on the ice.
Nono had already rushed onto the deck with a carbine developed by Colt in 1991. Yusuf was surprised at the excellent military quality of his employer and immediately set about arranging a new defense system.
After all, the bullets of the close-in anti-aircraft gun were limited, and the barrel also needed to stop cooling. Soon they would face a boarding battle with the python.
Although I don't know why such a ghost thing appeared in the ice and snow, the most important thing at the moment is not to satisfy curiosity but to crush all the beasts that dared to charge at the Imer into pieces.
There were nearly a hundred people on this icebreaker, from crew members to sailors to maids, and each of them was a soldier-like character in an urban novel. There was no need for these people to go through too much debate and quarrel. Almost instantly, they determined the leadership group with Yusuf as the strategic core, and began to arrange defenses on the deck under Yusuf's command.
In order to ensure that hypothermia would not occur on a large scale in the cabin of the Imer, the entire ship was a closed structure. Even the portholes used three layers of bulletproof resin glass that could withstand frontal bullets. They were narrow enough for only one human to get in and out, and there was no way for those large snakes with a diameter of more than half a meter to get in and out. This meant that they only needed to defend the defense line on the deck, and the interior of the cabin would not be invaded.
The machines used to destroy the floating ice that trapped the Imer dug a not very deep but quite wide gully in the direction of the snakes. A huge amount of reserve fuel was poured into it, and dozens of heavy machine guns were set up on the edge of the deck. Men biting cigarettes stepped on the ammunition boxes to conduct the final inspection of the gun barrels.
The flamethrowers had also been set up, and more ammunition was being continuously sent to the defense line from the weapons bay below the deck.
The moment the close-in gun finally lowered its barrel and stopped firing, the wind also stopped. Everyone's ears were buzzing, followed by a sharp scream.
The structure of the throat bones used by the giant snakes to make sounds was obviously different from that of other snakes. Their screams were closer to the roars of some wild beasts. The cold wind swept the deck with the strong fishy smell of the snakes and the bodies torn apart by bullets. Even though the crew had already prepared for the battle, they still felt terrified at this moment.
At this moment, the firepower on the ship was not enough to threaten the group of snakes that were too far away. Yusuf had to frown and half-raise his right hand to wait.
Until the first giant python had entered their effective attack range, the arm fell fiercely.
A dozen plumes of smoke rose up, accompanied by sharp whistles. The strongest men stood on the edge of the deck, carrying smoking launchers on their shoulders. A few seconds later, a series of explosions sounded on the ice in the distance. The fire that stretched into a river engulfed one-fifth of the snakes. The cause of the casualties was the FGM-148 anti-tank individual rocket launcher from the United States equipped with a kill bomb. It is hard to imagine why such an icebreaker would be equipped with such a powerful land warfare weapon, but it seems not surprising to think that they even installed close-in defense guns.
After a while, the orange flames illuminated the layers of scales. Unexpectedly, the highly anticipated individual rocket launcher did not seem to cause the imagined damage to the snakes. Only a few pythons died directly in the explosion, and more giant snakes rushed out of the flames with their scales torn apart and blood all over their bodies. The hideous scene reminded people of the tsunami in some movies that hit the sky and the earth, but what was even more terrifying was the secret piranhas that swam back and forth like bullets in the depths of the tsunami.
Then the GAU-19 heavy machine gun fixed on the support frame began to roar. This thing is the short one in the Gatling family, but it is still amazingly powerful. The moment the trigger was pulled, dozens, hundreds, and thousands of brass shells fell on the metal deck with a clang.
In fact, most of the weapons stored on the Imer were selected by Yusuf himself. He personally preferred the Gatling series with fast firing rate and high power when choosing heavy machine guns, but considering that they might face a boarding battle from the deck, he brought an astonishing number of GAU-19s that were easier to carry.
Dozens of heavy machine guns with a firing rate of more than 1,000 rounds per minute fired at the same time, forming an impenetrable steel barrage right in front of the bow of the Imer, which was even more fierce than the death frenzy caused by the close-in defense guns on the icebreaker.
Some dense bullet holes first appeared on the path of the snakes, splashing snow dust as high as a person. A second later, the snakes broke through the flame blockade and entered the shooting range of the heavy machine gun array. The bullets whistled like a storm and tore through the defense line of the giant snakes. Thousands of bullets cut through the hard snake scales and the flesh of these beasts.
The heads of several large snakes crawling in the front were destroyed in an instant, and then its twisted body was torn into blood plasma by the bullets that were almost connected in a line.
More than a dozen one-meter-long muzzle flames illuminated the profiles of the crew on the deck in the polar night. The fierce gunfire made people feel like they were in a thundercloud. The snakes seemed to be mighty, but they didn't even have a chance to tear through the defense line of the machine gun array.
It seemed that the fuel that Yusuf arranged under the side of the ship was of no use at all.
But Nono still looked solemn.
She was a person who had experienced the Tokyo incident, and even witnessed those severely deformed snake-like deadpools charging at the army of the Snake Qi Eight Family Executive Bureau, which was supervised by Cheng and armed with hot weapons. Whether it was a machine gun or a submachine gun, all the brass bullets could hardly cause fatal damage to those monsters unless they hit the most vulnerable eyes or chest and abdomen of the snake-like deadpools. The bullets could only splash a little spark on the snake-like bodies.
Although the giant snakes that appeared near the Imael looked amazing in size and were even more terrifying than the Anaconda in the movie, in fact, ordinary bullets could still cause fatal damage to them. Those scales that could cut jagged grooves on the ice were just for show, and could not be compared with real dragon scales.
Logically, Nono should not have shown such a cold expression when facing these ordinary dragon subspecies.
In fact, she had never paid attention to the massacre that took place less than a mile in front of the Imael.
She was still looking at the wreckage of the big ship in the distance. Not long ago, to. In the previous thermal signal scan of the ship, more than one person discovered that there were some larger snakes with bifurcated spines hidden deep in the cabin. They were Hydras with a high degree of distortion among the dragon subspecies. Like Yamata no Orochi and Jiuying, they were all mythical creatures.
But now there was no Hydra in the group of snakes charging at the Imael.
Those monsters seemed to have disappeared.
Nono looked back at Jude Aki and Selma. She opened her mouth and suddenly noticed something. Miss Regis Reeves from the Yamal, which was still heading towards the Arctic Circle, kept her composure and held a fire axe she had pulled off for self-defense, but her pupils were burning with cold flames, and a certain emotion called fear was spreading in the girl's body.
What was she afraid of?
Was there something else hidden in that icebreaker?
"According to the current situation, we will soon be able to end the battle. We will then need to clean up the battlefield and investigate the wreckage of the icebreaker on the opposite side. Miss Chen, you can now arrange the next action." The nun, who had emptied a magazine of the Bison submachine gun, took off her sunglasses and windproof headphones and spoke to Nono in a voice close to a roar.
In this environment full of gunfire noise, only in this way can they hear what the other party is saying.
"In any case, there must have been passengers in that ship, and there may be survivors in some closed cabins." Nono said, "Find the thermal signal scan map just now, and focus on searching the areas where the snakes are scattered and the power cabin under the cabin."
Nono was about to take the display that could be directly connected to the central control system of the Imer from the nun's hand, and a creepy feeling pierced her temple like a needle.
At this moment, Nono sensed some kind of deep danger, but her words were not sickle weasels, so she couldn't know where the danger came from.
She only had time to yell "Get down!", then she held Mammy's head and fell to the deck with her.
Just one second after Nuonuo fell, a stream of heat that stung people's scalps passed through them, and the fierce light of the flame illuminated Nuonuo's cheeks, and a terrifying figure was reflected in her pupils.
The attacker came from behind them. It was an incredibly large giant snake. The long neck that stretched out from under the deck alone was more than two meters in diameter, and its golden vertical pupils were filled with violent and wild murderous intent.
The flames spewed out of the giant snake's mouth were originally aimed at Nono, who was standing at the back. However, after Nono fell, the torrent of flames continued to surge forward, brushing against the side of a German man's body, and enveloping a heavy machine gun that was still spewing flames. A moment later, the gun barrel exploded, and bright red molten iron splashed everywhere, splashing several sailors who were close to it. With painful screams, their winter clothes immediately caught fire. The maids found a fire extinguisher nearby, and white foam completely submerged the unlucky guys.
Nono stood up with the Remington rifle, and she didn't know when cold sweat had penetrated her back.
After the big snake launched the attack, Yusuf was stunned for less than three seconds before he immediately controlled the heavy machine gun to turn the muzzle and aim the spewing flames at the ferocious snake head that appeared on the edge of the deck in the distance. The bullets fell on the snake's long neck and splashed dense sparks. Only a few bullets could accidentally pass through the gaps in the scales and hit its body, but they were also stuck in the hard bones without any surprise.
Jude Aki drew her sword, "Selma, take your junior sister to the cabin." She said coldly, with golden flames burning in the depths of her slender eyebrows.
Ordinary people have no experience dealing with this subspecies of dragons, and they graduated from Kassel College, and they are absolutely elite even in the executive department. At this time, she is the only one who can effectively block the giant snake that is obviously more deformed at close range.
If it was the previous Nono, it should be possible, but Jiude Aki learned from Professor Mans that the girl is now pregnant, and how could such a thing as fighting fall on the head of an expectant mother.
Nono pushed Selma away with one hand. She didn't say anything, but raised the Remington and shot the giant snake's left eye, and almost at the same second, she blew up its right eye.

This terrifying thing roared wildly, and it didn't even slide off the side of the ship when struggling.
The attack of this thing just now almost took her life. What saved Nono was the hybrid's unusual sense of smell. The wind from behind was full of strong fishy smell.
Then, because of the severe pain, the giant snake spewed out scattered flames from its bloody mouth that was as big as two doors. Constantine's pupils flickered, and the angry King of Bronze and Fire controlled the flame to be pushed back by a hurricane until the flame was completely extinguished in the depths of the snake's mouth.
In order to prevent the Yamal and the Imer from colliding, he consumed an astonishing amount of physical strength. If it were Norton, he might not take it to heart, but Constantine had defects to begin with, and now he had lost his power as a king, so he didn't find the big snake that was around the back in the first time.
But the child was still angry. He almost failed to fulfill his promise to his senior brother to protect his senior sister.
He stretched out his hand, and the heavy machine gun that had just been melted into molten iron by the flames was suspended. The high-speed rotating molten metal droplets were suspended on his wrist like a bracelet, and then merged and grew with each other until it finally turned into a slender blade.
This incredible scene shocked the sailors' nerves, but pythons can appear in the Arctic Circle, and it seems that the existence of gods and demons is not unacceptable.
Heavy knocking sounds came from the edge of the deck, and there was also the sound of dense scales scratching. Then, in the darkness of the polar night, the severely injured long neck suddenly stopped, its head drooped, and a low roar came from behind it after a moment.
The second long neck, the third long neck...
It was not until the fifth long neck appeared that the devil-like shadow was finally fully projected on the deck of the Imer.
Four pairs of golden pupils overlooked everything on the deck. It slowly swam upwards, and finally revealed its full appearance after a moment. It was indeed a Hydra.
A Hydra with five heads!
Its long necks entangled with each other and screamed. More heavy machine guns fired at it, but only splashed dense sparks. The flamethrower was also activated. The blue-black scales seemed distorted in the high temperature, but did not cause any damage to the flesh and blood below.
"My God..." someone whispered.
Constantine snorted coldly. This thing is not even a third-generation species. Is it worthy of the title of God?
He raised his knife and was about to tear Hydra into pieces. The next second, a strong wind swept past, and then one of Hydra's long necks was cut off with blood gushing up to the sky.
The girl with silver-gray hair stood in front of Nono. She was as heroic as Valkyrie and still kept throwing.
Regirev threw the fire axe that she used for self-defense.
The axe spun and cut off the snake neck that even heavy machine guns could not break through, and then it continued to fly dozens of meters away before fiercely embedding into the ice below.
"Wait, what is that?" Nono's pupils contracted. Not only her, but everyone saw that thing.
As the stomach muscles moved, acid mixed with blood slid out of the broken snake neck, wrapping a piece of ice. The ice was smoother than a mirror, and all the stains quickly slid off, allowing the frozen things inside to see the light of day again.
A human body!
It didn't seem strange to find a human body frozen in ice in the stomach of the python that emerged from the icebreaker, but the cold suddenly penetrated every pore of Nono.
She would not make a mistake no matter what.
The pale corpse in the ice was...
Professor Schneider.
The head of the executive department, von Schneider!
But at this moment, Schneider should be sitting in his office in Illinois, North America, coordinating the operation of the entire executive department. He couldn't be here, and there was no reason for him to be here! (End of this chapter)
