Chapter 84 Tragic
The scene was horrific, with severed limbs and internal organs scattered all over the ground. Some people were "lucky" enough to simply disappear and "drop equipment," without suffering much pain.
The strong smell of blood excited the surrounding zombies even more.
Hehehe—!
Seeing that the people in front were too busy to pay attention to her, Jiang Baiyue ordered four mercenaries to clear out some of the zombies behind them.
To avoid being blocked by mountains of corpses during the retreat.
"Ah—! My hand! My hand!"
A man was awakened by the pain of being stepped on in the groin by his fleeing companion. He instinctively tried to touch it, but when he moved his shoulder, he couldn't see his own arm.
The man's face was pale and filled with despair. He looked around and finally spotted his hand in the pile of rocks. He tried to get up and retrieve it.
A broken arm? No problem, no problem. You can use a splint to fix a broken hand. Yes, yes, it's just a game, it's okay, it's okay.
"Aaaaaah—my hand! My hand!!"
The giant red scorpion breathed fire twice. When it got hungry, it used its pincers to grab "corpses" or severed limbs from the ground and put them into its mouth.
The crunching sound of chewing rang out. Players who had fled far away heard the sound, turned around, and were so disgusted that they vomited.
When players kill monsters or other monsters, the corpses disappear and the equipment drops. This phenomenon itself has a "game" feel to it, so the sense of fear and guilt is not very strong to some extent.
However, the Crimson Giant Scorpion directly devoured its own kind that was not yet completely dead, and the scene of its internal organs and blood being squeezed out struck a chord with everyone.
They also saw some people being awakened by pain and still struggling; the despair seeped into everyone's spine through their screams.
It felt like being doused with ice water in an instant.
They seemed to foresee their fate, and many had already given up, their eyes involuntarily turning towards the direction where the peach blossoms were in full bloom, hoping to hear the order to retreat.
The captain of the second team retreated while pleading, "We can't win. How about... how about we go back and bring some more men?"
"That was terrifying; all the bombs we threw were blown away."
"It's better to intercept someone else's deal; playing it yourself is too scary..."
The muscular man swallowed hard. He had thought that with a group of people attacking together, and with weapons, ammunition, and superpowers, even though 2100 HP was a lot, he could still take them down.
Unexpectedly, the Crimson Giant Scorpion can also breathe fire and is very fast.
Many bullets missed it, but our side suffered heavy losses.
The muscular man hurriedly ran to find Peach Blossom Blossom. While running, he heard a broadcast warning that he had suffered internal injuries and needed to take medicine immediately.
"Cousin, this won't work, we can't win. We...we should retreat!"
Peach Blossom slammed her fist on the seat, her eyes fixed resentfully on the giant red scorpion whose mouth was "full" of blood.
The Red Giant Scorpion only has 1036 HP left... Giving up like this would mean all our efforts today would be wasted.
So many people died, and a lot of weapons and ammunition were lost, yet there was no profit.
"Are they trying to escape?"
Jiang Baiyue stared at the two people talking in the car. According to information given by her friends, the car was bulletproof and had certain defensive capabilities.
Despite the blooming peach blossoms, this person remained composed and did not get out of the car, preventing Jiang Baiyue from finding an opportunity to have the mercenaries assassinate him.
With all this green hills and clear waters, Mingming is getting a little restless.
"Brother, when do we make our move? They've already lost so many people, they definitely can't beat us."
Green Hills and Clear Waters frowned and stared ahead: "Let them escape. There are giant red scorpions here. It's not wise to fight here."
Mingming: "I know, it's just..."
Xiaobing handed Mingming a banana: "Eat something, don't rush, the opportunity might come soon."
The Red Giant Scorpion eats very quickly, swallowing its food whole without chewing it much.
Once it had eaten its fill, it continued to wave its tail hook and pincers, catching two, four, or five people at a time.
"Help! Help! I want to go home! I want to go home!"
Some people's eyes bulged out as they wailed and struggled.
Some people picked up weapons and unleashed their supernatural powers to desperately stop the giant red scorpion from devouring them.
Upon seeing the peach blossoms in full bloom, it seemed as if a reasonable excuse had been found, and he immediately ordered his men to continue attacking the giant red scorpion.
Peach Blossoms: "Cousin, this Red Demon Giant Scorpion has very rich resources, and it also has a blueprint for a medicine-making station. If we go back, it would be a huge loss if we had to sacrifice so many people again next time."
"Use all the offensive items. With the medicine-making station, you can exchange for any item."
The muscular hunk was conflicted. The pharmaceutical production station was the reason why he could lie low and be lazy. He could exchange resources with many bases and make a fortune!
"Attack! Everyone spread out and attack, cover each other!"
The second team leader was furious that he hadn't heard the order to retreat, but if he really ignored it and fled back, they wouldn't be able to get into the base anyway.
The peach blossoms were so wary of them that they came out together, and if they didn't go back with him, they couldn't even get into the base.
Moreover, they also have wives and children and a large amount of supplies stored at the peach blossom base.
The survivors, under the command of their respective teams, dispersed and coordinated their attacks, with artillery fire and supernatural abilities intertwined.
Protected by five terracotta warrior-like guard props, the Red Demon Giant Scorpion was unable to attack the player for a short period of time.
The players saw hope, their faces lit up with fervor, and they fired their weapons or unleashed their powers with even greater force.
The Red Giant Scorpion's health quickly dropped below 800. It once again used its tail hook sweeping skill, lifting its two huge pincers and emitting a piercing, strange cry.
At the center of the battle, as well as Jiang Baiyue and Qingshan Lushui's group who were hiding in the distance, their heads were spinning and their stomachs were churning, so they couldn't help but vomit.
The giant red scorpion successfully distracted its enemies and did not take the opportunity to attack. It seemed to sense the danger and was no longer bothered by the several painless and hard creatures in front of it. Instead, it retreated.
Peach Blossoms Bloomed, his expression relaxed. His insistence was correct. With the props taken out, the Red Demon Giant Scorpion was nothing special.
Seeing a glimmer of hope for victory, he opened the car door, thinking of using lightning to deliver the final blow at the last moment.
Upon seeing the peach blossoms bloom, Jiang Baiyue immediately ordered the mercenaries to take aim.
However, the dead man pulled his foot back and hid inside the car...
A faint squeaking or colliding sound came from the darkness. Jiang Baiyue looked up and saw that the familiar scene had appeared again.
Countless red-eyed scorpions crawled out from the caves of all sizes on the rock wall.
Layer upon layer, countless in number.
The muscular man's face froze, he swore, and shouted, "Use the bomb!"
He also took out a bomb and threw it at the swarm of scorpions.
Bang bang bang—!
The sound of bombs exploding came one after another, incessantly.
A group of people, completely disregarding whether they had enough bombs, kept throwing bombs and Molotov cocktails out of fear.
The red-eyed scorpions were so densely packed that when a bomb was thrown, a whole bunch of them were killed, their health bars glowing brightly and then disappearing.
The Red Giant Scorpion had already hidden behind the smaller scorpions and was breathing fire at the players who were standing still and throwing bombs.
It seems to have learned the tricks of cooperative combat from players; it even uses its little scorpions to build a scorpion wall as cover, making it unaffected by the superpowers of the ability users.
