Chapter 92: Fierce Eating Beast!
Not long after Suri's convoy continued to move forward, fierce gunfire and a deafening explosion suddenly came from the front, and the ground shook.
Su Rui immediately ordered the convoy to stop moving forward and called the younger brother who was in charge of the investigation to inquire about the situation: "Didn't you say before that many of them are old, weak, women and children? What was the reason for the explosion just now? Do these people have heavy weapons?"
The younger brother also looked confused and replied: "Chief, I did not find heavy weapons during my investigation. They only had some light weapons."
Lu Hongqi immediately asked: "Chief, how about I go investigate again in person?"
Su Rui shook his head, took the telescope from Lu Hongqi's hand and said, "No, please bring the car closer and I will see the situation myself."
In fact, he still had doubts about Lu Hongqi's investigation results. After all, there were some big discrepancies, so he decided to take a look in person this time.
After saying that, the motorcade slowly drove forward for a while, and Suri ordered the car to stop again and raised the telescope.
The scene before him shocked him.
The old, weak, women and children that I mentioned before do exist, but in addition, there are also military troops who are struggling to resist.
The intensity of the battle was beyond imagination.
On the ground, there are nearly a hundred densely packed giant rats, and they attack the human defense line ferociously.
In the sky, huge three-meter-long butterflies were flying. Their thick legs had extremely strong gripping power and could easily pick up humans.
On the human side, although they are facing tremendous pressure, they have not given up.
They grasped submachine guns and sniper rifles tightly and firmly guarded the defense line.
The heavy machine guns on the jeeps spit out tongues of fire in the hands of the soldiers, and the roars of grenade guns and RPG rocket launchers came one after another. They used these heavy weapons to tenaciously resist the siege of the eating beasts.
The old, weak, women and children were protected in the central area. They were unable to resist and could only watch the fighting around them.
Occasionally, some people try to escape out of fear, but as soon as they step out of the protective circle, they are quickly caught by the butterflies.
Although humans have used thermal weapons and successfully resisted the impact of giant rats on the ground, they are helpless against the butterflies in the sky.
The skin and wings of these butterflies are bullet-resistant, causing minimal damage.
They fly very fast and can snatch a human in one dive, then fly back to the roof and start eating. They are very ferocious!
Although humanity has not yet been defeated, it seems to be only a matter of time.
Suri immediately turned to the younger brother and asked sternly: "Why didn't you mention that there were people from the military here before?"
The younger brother was so frightened that he turned pale and stammered in explanation: "I...I really didn't see them just now...I..."
Suri glared at him and decided not to pursue the matter for the time being.
Because it was too late to say anything now. They had already chosen this path and had no choice but to go on.
Everything else can only be discussed after it is safe.
Immediately afterwards, Suri looked with the telescope for a while.
And in this tense situation, he keenly grasped a glimmer of hope.
They currently only have two cars, their goals are actually not big, and their actions are very flexible.
Moreover, the eating beasts have not completely blocked the road. As long as the driving skills are proper, it is entirely possible for them to pass through.
As for the military personnel and the masses, as long as they don't meddle in their own business, they will not have any impact on the operation.
So, he informed Lu Hongqi and Professor Liu of the observed situation and plan.
"As expected, the food beasts did not block the road. As long as we are fast enough, we can use the cover of military personnel to cross smoothly!"
Lu Hongqi agreed with Su Rui's plan, but Professor Liu had different opinions.
After taking the telescope and observing it carefully, he said calmly: "Suri, I don't think your plan is sound. You should notice that several armored vehicles were blown over in the middle of the road, which shows that there are unknowns ahead. danger."
Su Rui picked up the telescope again and observed what Professor Liu said.
Professor Liu continued his analysis: "I observed this military team. There are about 20 people. It should be a special operations team, similar to the one that covered us. They should have special tasks and are not here specially. Save these one hundred people, but they are in trouble here, which further proves my suspicion.”
After hearing this, Su Rui looked at the situation in the telescope and already had some faith in Professor Liu's analysis.
Professor Liu then suggested: "So I think we cannot act blindly, but should communicate with the military first. After understanding the situation clearly, we can then formulate an action plan. Perhaps we can cooperate with them to solve the troubles ahead. ”
Cooperate with the military?
When Su Rui mentioned the military, that bullshit Battle Zone B appeared in his mind, so he couldn't help but said with a hint of disgust: "If possible, I tend to avoid cooperating with people from the military."
After hearing this, Professor Liu responded seriously: "Suri, you may have some misunderstandings about the soldiers of our country's military. Many of them still have noble qualities."
After speaking, Professor Liu made a thought and established a network of conscious communication with the military commanders, Su Rui and Lu Hongqi.
"I am Major Liu from Jinghai Research Institute! Which department are you in?"
After that, in order to prove himself, Professor Liu directly copied his identity information into the consciousness of the military chief in the form of memory.
The chief responded with a shocked face: "Liu... Major Liu! Why... Why do I have an extra memory about you?"
"That's not important, answer my question!"
"Oh, we are a special operations team in the military shelter of Block 3."
Professor Liu continued to ask seriously: "Why are you trapped here and don't try to rush over? Is it to protect the masses?"
The chief explained helplessly: "Our mission is not to protect the masses, but just happened to encounter. We also tried to break through just now, but encountered explosive earthworm-eating beasts. They have evolved very strangely, and once they are crushed by heavy objects, they will explode like landmines. After we lost several armored vehicles, we just gave up this plan."
Su Rui heard it clearly on the side, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Exploding earthworms?
What the hell are these?
How many terrible creatures have evolved under the red fog?
However, at this time, Lu Hongqi said: "I have seen this kind of earthworm-eating beast. I can easily find and deal with them by smell."
Su Rui's eyes lit up: "Great! If so, we still have a chance!"
But Lu Hongqi also raised a difficult question: "Leader, if we want to use this ability, we first need to clean up these eating beasts and create a safe environment."
However, the officer quickly dissuaded: "It is impossible to clean up these eating beasts. They are too strong! It is difficult for bullets to penetrate them. At most, they can only stop their impact. Even an intermediate evolver like me cannot completely stop them. So... I suggest you leave quickly... As for us... Even if it costs our lives... We must stick to our duties..."
His words revealed a kind of perseverance and persistence, which made Professor Liu and Luo Hongqi, who were soldiers, stand in awe.
Su Rui was also deeply touched and respected.
But he was still wary, so he just went with the flow and said, "Commander, I have a suggestion. How about we cooperate?"
"Cooperate?" The commander responded with a hint of doubt: "I don't know how strong you are. Unless you have a combat team of hundreds of people, I'm afraid you will just die in vain."
Su Rui smiled slightly and said confidently: "Since I dare to make this suggestion, I must have enough strength."
When the commander heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked eagerly: "You mean... you have a lot of people? That's great!"
Su Rui showed a mysterious smile on his face: "A lot of people? We do have a lot of people..."
