Chapter 69 71 The Power of the Flame Bow
The intensive shooting of the thermal weapons team and the poisonous arrows of the crossbow team suppressed the monster's attack for a while.
"Swish, swish!" A surface vibration detector placed on the ground at the edge of the convoy suddenly sounded an alarm.
Amid the monster's mad roar, the alarm sounded very faint, with only the constantly trembling pointer spinning as if it were trembling.
The soldier in charge of observing the detector was staring at the thermal weapons team with concern. His brother was inside, so close to the monster.
"Boom, boom, boom." It was the sound of the earth shaking. In the distance, a huge shadow was approaching the convoy step by step.
"Fuck." Ning Qingtian put down the telescope in his hand and couldn't help but swear, "Is the observer who monitors the surface movements dead?"
There were only dozens of monsters attacking the convoy, and they were exactly the armored monsters that Rong Xianxian and her friends had encountered before, except that these armored monsters were much smaller than the ones they had encountered.
Most of the small armored monsters surrounded the mercenaries in front, but from Rong Xianxian's perspective, she could not see the situation of the mercenaries.
Rong Xianxian's convoy was at the back, so it was not attacked by the monsters. From time to time, the long civilian team in the middle could hear ghosts howling. I wonder if they were scared by the monsters, or were they attacked by them?
When the "dong, dong, dong" sounds came, Rong Xianxian's face instantly turned ugly. She looked into the distance with a telescope, and her face turned pale in an instant.
"All vehicles, pay attention and be ready to retreat at any time." Rong Xianxian notified Cui Lie and the others through a sound transmission note. Fortunately, they were at the back.
Rong Xianxian had not expected that the giant armored monster that had killed them so badly before and made them dare not go deep into the wild again was not dead. She had always believed that the mercenaries could enter the city because they must have killed the armored monster. In her previous life, she followed the civilian team behind the mercenaries and successfully arrived in Binyang without encountering the armored monster on the way. Could it be the butterfly effect caused by the previous trip out of the city to explore the way?
No, this one seemed even bigger than the one they encountered.
Is it an evolution, or a new iron monster?
No matter what it is, Rong Xianxian has seen how abnormal the armored monster's defense is. Unless the convoy in front quickly gets rid of the besieging monsters, they can still use their speed advantage to get rid of the terrible monster.
"Ah, help, open the door and let me get in." A young woman who was running very fast was chased by a small armored monster and was heading straight for an off-road RV.
She ran and shouted loudly, and soon reached the vehicle.
"Open the door, open the door!" She pounded the door of the carriage with her fists.
The carriage was hit and made a banging sound.
The little armored monster chasing after her was already within reach.
Rong Xianxian could see at a glance that with her speed, the armored monster would never be able to catch up with her.
The woman who was banging on the door kept looking behind her while banging on it. Seeing that the monster had caught up with her, a trace of anger and panic appeared in her eyes.
“How can you be so cold-blooded? You watched me die without helping me. If you don’t open the door, I will be killed by the monster.” The woman accused me in the first half of the sentence and begged me in the second half. She cried like a pear blossom in the rain and looked pitiful.
Rong Xianxian rolled down the car window and was about to persuade her to run away quickly, otherwise she would really die.
Before she could finish her words, the little armored monster, which was not very fast to begin with, suddenly started to jump over with a roar.
The actress who was about to run around the RV suddenly screamed and squatted down with her head in her hands.
Rong Xianxian's heart skipped a beat. The two were originally not far apart, but when the monster went crazy, the woman seemed to have given up resisting. In that instant, it was too late for Rong Xianxian to activate the soul-calming bell.
If this man died in front of her car door in public, the crowd who were already eyeing their vehicle would definitely gang up on him!
Although they can suppress the rebellion by force given their military strength, doing so would probably only arouse public anger.
Rong Xianxian was sure that the little armored monster suddenly went crazy because of someone, who might be an accomplice of the woman just now.
Knowing that she was being cheated, Rong Xianxian had no good way to solve the current problem.
When she was helpless, an arrow like flowing flames hit the monster's eye with a "bang", and the monster's head exploded with a "click", blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the young woman who seemed to be frightened and motionless was drenched.
The monster was solved.
Clean and neat.
The arrow that had successfully shot the target was hanging steadily above the monster, attracting everyone's attention. The arrow turned crookedly as if it was drunk, and flew back into the compartment of the RV.
The car window that had been opened at some point quickly closed again.
Under the dazzling reflection of light, no one could see the situation inside the car clearly through the window in an instant.
The closed car windows blocked out all prying eyes, both open and covert.
The power of this arrow seemed to intimidate the crowd that was ready to make a move, and the prying eyes became evasive.
Rong Xianxian couldn't help but smile as she watched the young woman who got up in a daze and walked back to her team.
I secretly praised Xiao Luo a hundred times in my heart.
"He is obedient, sensible, handsome and capable. He is really a perfect little lover." Rong Xianxian felt proud and complacent.
The sound of the earth shaking became louder and louder, and the giant armored monster was getting closer and closer. Just when Rong Xianxian was considering whether to turn around and escape, the mercenary team in front finally repelled the besieging monster, and the soldiers got on the car and set off.
The civilian team behind quickly caught up.
Several of the besieging monsters that were repelled by the army were not seriously injured, and without the army's fire suppression, they quickly surrounded them again.
The scattered attacks from the civilian team could not suppress the mad monster.
Several vehicles that were of poor quality or overloaded with people and were not stable were knocked to the ground by the monster. Soon, a series of screams of ghosts and wolves howling were heard. The "bang bang bang" sound was getting closer and closer. The vehicles following behind bypassed the crowd being torn by the monster and drove forward like crazy.
Although the civilian team was vulnerable, they were numerous. The few monsters that succeeded in catching the prey were tearing at their prey, and seemed to have no intention of pursuing them.
The civilian team seemed to be scared out of their wits. Each car seemed to be driving as fast as it could fly. Rong Xianxian had no chance to overtake and had to continue driving forward behind the convoy.
The last time they encountered the Iron-Armored Monster was when they were collecting medicinal herbs. The Iron-Armored Monster was sleeping, and its shell was dazzling under the light. At that time, Rong Xianxian thought that they had discovered some rare mineral and ran over happily.
Fortunately, the armored monster had high defense but relatively poor agility, which allowed them to escape in the car.
It is common sense that the bigger the body, the worse the agility. Knowing that with the speed of the vehicle and the distance they had opened, the armored monster could no longer catch up with them, Rong Xianxian felt relaxed.
