Jiang Wu picked up a Type 95 rifle, and without aiming, fired directly at the nearest lobster.
He wanted to test just how hard those lobster shells, which were like armor, really were!
But as soon as the gunshot rang out, Jiang Wu froze.
Because he discovered that he could actually see the trajectory of the bullet!
It was a magical feeling, as if everything around me had slowed down.
Jiang Wu could clearly see the bullet, carrying a high temperature, spinning as it struck the lobster's dark green shell.
When the two collided, sparks flew again.
Then, the bullet deformed, shattered, and bounced off...
The spot where the bullet hit left only a very shallow crater.
As the high-speed bullet disappeared from sight, Jiang Wu's vision returned to normal.
He stared blankly at the gun in his hand.
Just a second later, Jiang Wu came to his senses and jumped onto another assault vehicle equipped with a 12.7mm heavy machine gun.
With a loud bang, a flash of light appeared, and a heavy machine gun bullet was fired from the barrel.
The instant it appeared from the muzzle of the gun and was caught by Jiang Wu's eyes, Jiang Wu felt that magical feeling from before reappear!
Everything around him seemed to slow down. Jiang Wu clearly saw the bullet spin as it pierced through the mutated lobster's armor, then disappeared into its head.
The mutated lobster stopped in place and began to struggle frantically, seemingly severely injured.
Soon, it went silent.
It was completely submerged by the swarm of lobsters that climbed up from behind.
A dozen or so powerful spotlights shone from in front of the giant tortoise's corpse, illuminating the ground all the way forward.
Finally, when they were more than fifty meters away from the giant tortoise carcass, they were able to see the mutated lobsters.
Upon first seeing these creatures, the team members were not afraid at all; on the contrary, they were quite excited.
What would such a huge lobster taste like?
But as the area illuminated by the strong light expanded, more and more mutated lobsters were seen.
The team members' expressions grew increasingly serious.
Until the two powerful lights continued to shine on both sides.
The team members were filled with horror.
These mutated lobsters have even spread to the mountains on both sides.
The cross-section is definitely over 100 meters, but the depth is completely unknown!
How many mutated giant lobsters would that require?
Several thousand? Tens of thousands?
"All small-caliber guns, attack their eyes! All heavy machine guns and autocannons, begin firing! Heavy machine guns, continuous fire permitted!"
Jiang Wu's voice rang out again.
Soon, the soldiers rushed to the giant tortoise's corpse.
Suddenly, gunshots rang out from the mountain valley.
However, the Type 95 rifle was not powerful enough to penetrate the armor of these mutated lobsters; it could only rely on luck to blind them and throw them into chaos.
Only those dozen or so heavy machine guns and two 30mm autocannons could pose a fatal threat to them.
Especially the 30mm machine gun; if hit by its bullets, the mutated lobster will always explode.
And since the lobsters were so numerous, the machine gun didn't even need to aim much to hit them.
However, there were too few machine guns, and continuous firing was not allowed.
Even if two machine guns could kill hundreds or thousands of mutated lobsters, it would still be a drop in the ocean compared to the total number.
More than a dozen heavy machine guns became the main force in holding off the mutated lobsters.
However, the cross-section is too long and the lobsters are too densely packed.
Even the heavy machine guns, which were usually ineffective against dense groups of zombies, were now somewhat ineffective.
Because it often takes several bullets to actually kill a mutated lobster.
Unlike when fighting zombies, where a single bullet can kill several zombies.
As more and more lobsters approached the giant tortoise carcass.
Jiang Wu also noticed that something was wrong.
If the current tactics are employed, the mutated lobsters could completely overwhelm everything with sheer numbers.
Not only will they fail to preserve the giant alligator snapping turtle meat, but they might also lose the entire field crew.
Jiang Wu grew anxious and shouted, "Except for the heavy machine gunners and infantry fighting vehicles, everyone else go and collect flammable materials. Your objective is to keep the left flank ablaze!"
"Heavy machine gunners and infantry fighting vehicles, retreat! Seal off the right flank!"
"Luo Mingming, Sheng Huaiqiang, take the alligator snapping turtle blades and come with us to block the middle!"
"Li Zecheng will command the next battle!"
After saying that, Jiang Wu drew two alligator turtle blades, put on the hood of his alligator skin trench coat, and charged towards the densely packed mutated lobsters in front of the giant turtle corpse.
Bai Feiming and Su Ziyu followed closely behind Jiang Wu.
As hundreds of Molotov cocktails were thrown onto the left flank, a massive fire broke out.
When the lobsters first encountered fire, they all froze.
Some unfortunate lobsters were hit directly by Molotov cocktails, and they made a "sizzling" sound as they burned.
Moreover, their dark green shells slowly turned red.
They really are afraid of fire!
Li Zecheng felt a sense of relief upon taking over command.
To deal with the behemoth, the convoy had already prepared thousands of Molotov cocktails.
There are also dozens of gasoline cans.
It should be able to hold out for a while...
"Leave fifty men behind, the rest of you go cut down trees and gather firewood, make sure the fire keeps burning!" Li Zecheng shouted.
On the right flank, a dozen heavy machine guns and two infantry fighting vehicles only need to hold this area of about fifty meters, greatly reducing the pressure.
Here, the mutated lobsters are moving faster than they are dying.
