Chapter 452 Ambush Funny "Smelly"
Highly contagious?
After hearing this alarming keyword, Jaynes Thompson frowned, but the brief surprise was instantly replaced by calmness.
He chose to follow the agent's advice without hesitation and quickly issued instructions to all ODSTs and special forces members present:
"Everyone be alert! Tyrant pilots and mecha operators quickly move forward, readjust the formation, and use cross-fire lines to block the entrances and exits of the collapsed area!
Any debris that tries to rush out of the cracks must be torn into pieces as soon as possible to ensure the absolute safety of the positions and landing areas!
"Yes! "
With the response on the communication, the formation of the landing zone was quickly adjusted.
The feet of the Tyrant and Cyclops mechas stepped on the ice, making a dull and deafening "dong dong" sound. At the same time, their heavy weapons completed the calibration and locked the target area.
The members of the ODST and special forces, relying on disposable energy shields, built a solid defense line with the "portable bunkers", surrounded the collapsed area tightly, and formed a layered firepower network.
Even if the opponent has a strong assault capability, such a deployment is enough to make any creature pay a heavy price, and eliminate the possibility of them pouring out of the collapsed area before the transport formation arrives.
After completing the deployment, Jaynes turned his attention back to the helmet screen and carefully observed the shared reconnaissance aircraft field of view.
He stared at the strange figures in the picture and asked the agent team leader in a low voice:
"Colonel Redfield, what on earth are those guys? "
But before the so-called Colonel Redfield could reply, Jaynes saw a "ghost beast" walking at the end suddenly stop, twisting its body and turning stiffly towards the direction of the reconnaissance plane.
The next second, it raised its eyeballs emitting green light, and seemed to stare directly at Jaynes through the field of vision of the reconnaissance plane.
Then, Jaynes' helmet screen produced a brief signal interference, but the ghost beast's weird laughter still clearly reached his ears.
"Hehe——! "
It opened its severely torn mouth, and thick green juice dripped down its teeth and jaw, making a disgusting sound. Then it whispered a series of ambiguous syllables in the whisper of the Jiralhanae:
"Graugh! Froll'' ka'' han drovaka shil'' runnk!"
As the voice fell, the screen of Jaynes' helmet converted this section of the Star Alliance language into human-understandable content through the built-in translation module:
"Haha! Fresh prey walked into my lord's trap!"
Hearing this, Jaynes' pupils shrank.
The other party's words revealed a sinister malice, and it also showed that their insight into the current situation was far beyond expectations.
Obviously, these guys had already predicted this action, and might even be waiting for them to fall into the trap.
"Colonel Thompson!"
At this moment, the leader of the special agent team named Redfield, that is, Chris Redfield, a senior agent of the Investigation Department, immediately responded on the communication:
"The current situation has exceeded our capabilities. At this stage, our first task is to withdraw from Queconto and hand over the follow-up investigation and disposal here to the 4th Company of the Raven Guard, which is about to arrive!
Colonel Thompson, please hold on to the landing zone and wait."
Roar!
However, before Chris finished speaking, a roar suddenly sounded, instantly sweeping the entire reconnaissance aircraft's radio device.
On the screen, the ghost-faced beast that had previously made a weird laugh quickly pounced on the location of the reconnaissance aircraft.
Its twisted body looked particularly terrifying during the leap, and every exposed muscle seemed to be wriggling irregularly, and green juice gushed out from the cracked wound, soaking its broken armor.
At the moment when the ghost beast launched the attack, the originally "still" crack area, as if triggered by some invisible signal, suddenly fell into chaos.
Countless deformed ghost beasts and jackals swarmed out from the depths of the cracks, rushing towards the reconnaissance aircraft released by the hunter like a tide.
These creatures are not only huge in number, but each of them has obvious mutation characteristics-
Some ghost beasts have extra eyeballs on their heads, some jackals have arms that have become blade-like claws, and a group of huge wasps with wings like "large moths" are particularly conspicuous.
The appearance of these wasps is very impactful, and the edges of their wings are constantly shaking off fine dust, which seems to carry some unknown toxins.
What's more terrifying is that even though their bodies have been completely deformed, they can still skillfully control weapons.
Whoosh-whoosh--!
Plasma beams and sparks intertwined, the reconnaissance aircraft was constantly hit, and the vision began to blur.
The hunter tried to reposition the reconnaissance aircraft to avoid the attack, but the surging enemy made the situation completely out of control.
Moreover, the hellhounds at the forefront lost their mark and traces on the zoomed radar in just over ten seconds.
This means that the group of biological weapons has been annihilated.
In addition, based on the pulse scans sent back by the remaining reconnaissance aircraft, Jaynes quickly obtained intelligence that the enemy was gathering.
A large number of distorted figures were shown on the screen, rapidly approaching the hub area where the clone soldiers were stationed.
Through the feedback from the zoomed radar, he could clearly "see" that the group of distorted creatures seemed to be preparing to launch a more violent attack.
When the gunshots echoed, more than 500 clone soldiers responded immediately.
They had already adjusted their formations and quickly aimed their AMWS, Gauss and hard light guns at the entrances and exits of the various passages and tunnels connecting the hub area.
These soldiers, who were implanted with combat experience when they walked out of the incubator, showed amazing calmness and professionalism in extreme environments and quickly formed a seemingly indestructible line of defense.
At the same time, they became the last barrier to prevent the distorted monsters from spreading from the dark depths of the underground to the top.
And through the clone soldiers' shared vision and various signs on the zoomed radar, Janes saw that the situation suddenly changed and immediately issued a reminder to everyone.
In addition, he also raised the commander-type hard light rifle in his hand and aimed the muzzle at the cracks in the collapsed area.
Jaynes couldn't be sure whether the clone soldiers who were always invincible could still be as "unstoppable" and "solid as a rock" as before when facing those enemies called "heretics".
The madness and weirdness displayed by those enemies far exceeded the ordinary combat logic, which made him feel an indescribable chill.
Their joint force originally came for investigation, but unexpectedly fell into a Chaos ambush.
The sudden deterioration of the situation made Jaynes realize that this mission was completely out of their control.
At this time, they had no choice but to quickly change their goals, enter an emergency defense state and wait for the transport formation to pick up.
Before that, the ODST and special forces formations that airborne first had to rely on these 500 clone soldiers to temporarily stabilize the situation.
He knew in his heart that although the ODST and special forces formations had strong combat capabilities, if they were "physically" infected or eroded in the battle with the heretics, it would be a disastrous consequence.
Jaynes didn't want to see his elite veterans wiped out because of this.
Ta-ta-ta——!
Ri~咻——! !
Soon, fierce gunfire sounded in the shared vision on the other side of the screen, breaking the moment of silence.
I saw several tongues of fire gushing out from the entrances and exits of passages and tunnels, accompanied by harsh explosions. The screen showed that those twisted and deformed heretics were attacking the defense line arranged by the clone soldiers in a disorderly manner.
Their bodies have become forms that cannot be explained by common sense, and they exude a certain ominous breath.
And their actions are even more frightening. They completely disregard their own life and death, and charge without hesitation, forcing a passage for the subsequent "kind".
However, the intricate passages, tunnels, and relatively narrow spaces allow the clone soldiers to exert a strong firepower advantage.
The heretics who rushed to the front row were torn and shattered by the crossfire network composed of spike bullets, hard light beams and various live bullets at the first sight.
At the same time, blood, limbs, and internal organs were scattered on the ground, and the hub area seemed to have turned into a bloody slaughterhouse.
The clone soldiers fired alternately in an orderly manner, always keeping the formation stable, and faced these crazy enemies, showing ruthless combat efficiency.
But even if they were suppressed by powerful firepower, the heretics did not have any tendency to retreat.
There was no pain or fear in their eyes, only a suffocating fanaticism.
These heretics composed of aliens such as ghost faces, wolf men and wasps, like "zombies" controlled by the power of chaos, surging forward endlessly.
"Haha~~!"
At this time, a laugh that sounded both weird and funny quickly spread among the various passages and tunnels in the hub area, breaking the original serious atmosphere of the battlefield.
This sound seemed to come from a suppressed abyss, full of twisted pleasure, which made people shudder.
Then, a group of small creatures with strange shapes shuttled across the battlefield, agilely shuttling under the feet of those heretic monsters.
Moreover, these "little guys" were round and fat, with pustules of varying sizes on their skin, emitting bursts of rotten stench.
Their bodies twisted in the cold air, making people feel sick.
They took advantage of their size and speed, as well as the gaps between the clone soldiers' replacement of ammunition, and rushed into the front line first.
Their movements were like a group of hungry ghouls, waving their tentacles and bone blades like evil spirits, trying to tear the armor and combat uniforms of the clone soldiers.
But some of them opened their bloody "little" mouths and bit directly at the ankles and calves of the clone soldiers, trying to tear open the clones' defenses.
However, these fanatical attacks soon suffered a tragic failure.
"Crack!"
With the sound of teeth hitting armor, the little guys who tried to bite through the armor with their teeth instantly shattered their sharp teeth.
"Wow~!"
"Ah~!"
They howled in pain, seemingly unable to understand why their attacks were so futile.
These strange creatures were obviously not good at fighting against well-equipped enemies, and their pain and failure became entertainment for their kind.
"Hahaha~!!"
The little guys in the back, seeing their kind being frustrated and embarrassed, not only did they not have the slightest sympathy, but began to laugh unscrupulously.
It's as if they are enjoying the pain and failure of these same species, and are even getting more excited and happy.
But the clone soldiers naturally would not tolerate them, and their reactions were far more decisive and swift than these guys.
Without any hesitation, the clone troopers immediately adjusted the angle of their guns and shot mercilessly those funny guys who dared to get close.
For those individuals who can still survive between attacks, cloning is more straightforward——
That is, he raised his feet and stepped hard on the fat bellies of those little creatures.
"Puff-puff-!"
As bursts of dull sounds sounded, these seemingly funny little guys had almost no chance to resist under the attack of the clone soldiers.
They were torn apart by the fierce blows of various warheads, beams, and artillery batteries, with skin shattered and flesh splattered.
Dark green blood mist filled the air, instantly dyeing the surrounding air bloody.
"Oh!!"
"Wow~~!"
In the fear of "death", these creatures made even sharper screams.
The mania and arrogance that he once had instantly collapsed in front of the clone soldiers who had no emotions or emotions.
As the same kind died tragically one after another, the remaining little guys were obviously overly frightened.
They waved their arms and swayed their limbs, looking particularly embarrassed.
Their fat bodies moved in panic, desperately trying to escape from this place full of death.
"."
Jaynes, who witnessed this scene through the shared vision, had an indescribable feeling.
I wanted to complain, but I felt that the situation in front of me should be extremely tense and anxious.
However, after the group of funny little guys appeared, the rhythm of the battlefield seemed to be suddenly broken.
!
But when Jaynes brought up the physical status display of the clone troopers, his eyes suddenly became solemn.
Because the clones attacked by those funny guys seemed to have nothing abnormal, but in fact, their combat uniforms and armors were slightly damaged, and their bodies were also invaded by unknown viruses.
Moreover, the calves and ankles of the dozens of clone soldiers in the front row were quickly corroded and ulcerated, and the status display was marked in deep red, indicating that their bodies had reached their limits.
The next second, these clones could no longer remain standing and fell to the ground one after another.
Seeing this scene, Jaynes realized that the threat of those funny little things was much higher than that of the Jiralhanae beasts with huge bodies that had become "heretics".
"Wow~!"
"Hey~!!"
But before the clone soldiers could fill the gaps in the front and continue to block the heretics' charge, those funny things were like a real "stinking" wave, like a tsunami pouring out of various tunnels and passages.
They were in groups, jumping around, and following heretics such as Jiralhanae and Gnolls who were not afraid of death, they quickly overwhelmed all the clone soldiers in the hub area.
