Chen Xu pressed the switch next to him and fell into the passage below, escaping from the weapon platform that was being corroded by the acid ant beast's body fluids.
He had just run a few steps when he heard a sizzling sound behind him. Looking back, he saw green slime dripping from above, which quickly corroded a hole in the ground of the passage.
"Fortunately I ran fast."
He felt relieved, but suddenly felt a burning pain on his left forearm. He looked down and saw that a few drops of green mucus had splashed on his protective suit, burning several small holes in it.
In order not to affect his speed, he did not wear an exoskeleton arm. He wore a protective suit made of high-strength materials provided by S01. He tried it with a pistol, and within three meters, the bullet could not penetrate it. The bulletproof ability is very good.
As a result, it was burned through by a few drops of mucus.
He quickly took off his protective clothing, took out the water he had brought with him, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured it on his left arm. Then he opened the portable medical bag, took out the disinfectant, poured it on the wound, and then wrapped it with gauze and tied it tightly.
After he simply treated the wound, he said into the headset, "Transmit the real-time monitoring from above."
"Yes." 2003's response came from the headset.
The above picture immediately appeared in the glasses. In front of the gate, there were already several acid ant beasts surrounding it, waving their front paws and scratching the gate, causing sparks to fly.
Behind them, more acid anteaters are gathering.
He walked forward holding onto the wall and asked, "How many strange beasts are there up there?"
"Three hundred and nine."
"If anything happens, notify me immediately."
He ended the call and calculated the time.
S01 should be here soon, and Yang Jinxia will also come here as quickly as planned. At that time, the three of them will shoot at the herd from three directions, forming a crossfire.
The key lies in whether the acid ant beasts break through the gate first, or they kill all the strange beasts first.
The gate of the shelter was built according to the highest standards. It was fifty centimeters thick and made of the strongest alloy. It would take time for the Acid Ant Beast to corrode and penetrate it with its body fluids.
They have plenty of time.
It took Chen Xu nearly ten seconds to reach the designated weapon platform. As soon as he climbed up, he heard gunshots outside. He knew that S01 had arrived, and he was certain in his heart.
He took his seat, opened the scope, aimed at the herd of animals farther away from the gate, and opened fire.
Bang, bang, bang…
In the blink of an eye, the acid ant beasts that had gathered together were covered in blood and flesh.
Ten seconds later, the weapon station in another direction also opened fire, and Yang Jinxia joined the battle earlier than scheduled.
Three high-energy laser guns intertwined to emit rays of death. In less than half a minute, almost half of the originally densely packed herd of beasts were gone.
S01 was the first to go silent, and after a few seconds, it was Yang Jinxia's turn.
Only Chen Xu consciously reduced the frequency of shooting to extend the life of the barrel and prevent such gaps from occurring.
The acid ant beasts reacted quickly and began to counterattack, dividing into three teams and rushing in the three directions of the shooting.
Along the way, whenever you come across a weapon platform, an acid anteater will jump on it, tear off the outer alloy plate, and destroy the weapons inside.
Chen Xu shot and killed the acid ant beast that rushed to the front, and felt something was wrong. These strange beasts seemed to have a certain degree of wisdom, knowing the source of danger and even knowing how to destroy the weapon platform.
The herd found that he was still firing, and the number of acid anteaters joining this team increased suddenly, which brought him great pressure. He could no longer care about the other two directions.
Bang, bang, bang…
After firing more than ten rounds, a warning that the barrel was damaged finally appeared on the scope.
He flipped the switch without hesitation and jumped down the passage. He rushed to the predetermined location, and just after turning a corner, he heard gunshots from the ground.
A few seconds later, another gunshot was heard.
He breathed a sigh of relief; so far, everything was going well.
"Attention, all the acid anthias have abandoned the gate and are rushing towards you." Suddenly, 2003's alarm sounded in the headset.
Chen Xu's eyes widened. These acid ant beasts actually knew to eliminate the biggest threat first and then open the door. Their intelligence is not low at all.
"How many of them are there?"
"More than one hundred and twenty."
When Chen Xu got the answer, he came to the bottom of the weapon table, opened the door, and climbed up.
As soon as he opened the sight, he quickly saw the situation in front of him. Two groups of acid anteaters were desperately rushing towards the two weapon platforms that were spraying lasers.
There were fewer people on Yang Jinxia's side, but the monsters were approaching faster. Because her shooting skills were poor, her hit rate was not high.
He instantly determined that in just four or five seconds, both places would be torn apart by a large number of acid anteaters.
Can only save one? Sweat broke out on his forehead. Without any hesitation, he started shooting and killed the fastest beasts on Yang Jinxia's side.
"I'm sorry."
He could only say this to the robot in his heart.
Some scattered acid ant beasts discovered that he had also opened fire, and immediately gathered together and rushed towards him.
"2003, let your sister Xia retreat first."
He spoke loudly to the control center to avoid losing sight of the big picture.
Two seconds later, Yang Jinxia stopped firing.
He also turned his gun around and shot at the acid anteaters that were rushing towards him. The moment he turned around, he seemed to see that the weapon platform where S01 was located was occupied by several acid anteaters.
But at this time, he could no longer care about it. More and more strange beasts rushed towards him. He didn't even dare to blink, but just kept pressing the firing button to kill these approaching strange beasts.
I don't know how many lasers were fired from the muzzle of the gun. Suddenly, with a hissing sound, the prompt appeared in front of the sight.
At this moment, there were only two living acid anteaters left in front of him, only two meters away.
"Depend on."
He cursed inwardly, flipped the switch, and fell downwards.
At this moment, the alloy plate was torn apart with a bang. He looked up and saw a larger acid anteater.
Time seemed to stand still, and his face was reflected in the huge compound eyes.
The seats were quickly returned to their original positions, blocking the view of both parties.
Bang.
Chen Xu fell onto a soft cushion.
At the same time, a javelin-like front claw pierced through the hatch and grabbed him, only a few dozen centimeters away from his head, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Chen Xu, take the gun."
He heard Yang Jinxia's voice from behind. He turned around, saw the rifle flying towards him, and reached out to catch it.
At this time, the head of the acid anteater also squeezed through the hatch, its huge mouthparts opened, and it made an unpleasant hissing sound.
"Go to hell." Chen Xu pointed the gun at its compound eyes and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Its head exploded and a large amount of mucus splashed down and poured onto Chen Xu.
"In the end, it still fell short."
He looked down at his half body covered in slime and felt depressed. He didn't expect the level one difficulty to be so hard and he couldn't even make it through the first level.
Then, he glared at the Sour Ant Beast that was still twitching there and said, "If I could still enter this game, I would kill you first."
"Chen Xu!"
Yang Jinxia finally rushed over and dragged him aside.
"It's a pity that I couldn't be with you in the end..." Chen Xu was very unwilling. He started coughing up blood halfway through his words, and gradually, his consciousness began to fade.
Then, I fell into complete darkness.
…………
"Congratulations on completing the dream mission "Alien Beast Invasion" and successfully surviving for 180 days. The difficulty of this dream is level one, and your account is being settled."
After Chen Xu regained consciousness, he heard that familiar voice. He was originally annoyed, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
Huh? Didn't it fail?
What's going on?
He was completely stunned.
