It can be seen that the bullet shot by Duize left a long trail of light behind it. It was obviously a tracer bullet. The reason was to guide the firepower of others to focus on the place where he was aiming. Then seven or eight sharpshooters simultaneously shot at the place where Duize was aiming.
The effect of this covering shooting was very obvious, especially for a gun expert, who fired a laser cannon that actually created a short blank path in the group of predators. Of course, this blank path was then flooded again by the predators that swarmed over.
However, it is not entirely true that Duize and his men's attack was ineffective. It can be found that the predators' forward speed has slowed down a little. Why? It is because the dead predators' bodies have begun to be devoured by their greedy counterparts. This stop will undoubtedly affect the speed of the entire large group.
Then all the sharpshooters pulled out an M137 machine gun from behind, and after holding it in their hands, they began to shoot fiercely forward. The bullets shot out from the high-speed rotating barrel were like a long line of fire, wantonly plundering the lives in front. There were seven or eight sharpshooters standing side by side, and the sight of seven or eight lines of fire moving forward in unison was very spectacular.
The predators' momentum was finally curbed. The large number of corpses produced in a short period of time and the fishy smell floating in the air stimulated them to almost go crazy. They pounced on the food frantically. However, although the M137 machine gun was light and easy to carry and powerful, its endurance was not too long. After just a dozen seconds, the muzzle of the machine gun turned red and hot, and then exploded and was scrapped.
Then, Duize began to throw more than a dozen grenades with delayed fuses towards the front. These were the last of his remaining stocks. The others also used their own attack methods. The mechanic began to release self-destructive robots, and the gun expert fired another charged laser cannon.
Amid a series of explosions, all the sharpshooters once again took out the magic weapon for dealing with such situations from their shoulders - the M3 flamethrower. They stood in a horse stance and activated the flamethrower. Large balls of blazing flames surged forward. If the M137 Gatling gun had previously created seven or eight lines of fire, then at this time there were seven or eight fire dragons rushing out frantically, resisting the enemies that were rushing in like a tide.
The unpleasant smell of burning and crackling sound rang out. This time, the predators finally had a large number of corpses. The advancement speed was significantly slowed down, and there were even piles of corpses. However, the only disadvantage of the flamethrower was also revealed at this time, that is, it can only be regarded as a medium-range attack method at best. This also means one thing, some special mutant predators can already launch attacks!
Screams were heard, and two sharpshooters had been sprayed with powerful acid. They began to roll on the ground, and even bursts of black gas came out of their bodies. This was a sign of being cursed. Duize jumped back nimbly at this time, dodging the spit of a mutant predator, and fired two cold shots, killing the two sharpshooters!
The other several people immediately glared at each other, and even the gunner started shouting in anger, pointing his gun at them:
"What are you doing, son of a bitch?"
Duize aimed forward again, raised the flamethrower and pulled the trigger, then said coldly:
"Although their injuries are not fatal, they have seriously affected their movement speed. If we don't kill them, then when we retreat later, there will definitely be idiots like you who will help the wounded to move forward together."
When Duize said this, the other people sighed sadly, and the gunner's hand holding the gun began to tremble. Duize continued coldly:
"What will happen next? Of course, you and him will be eaten to pieces by these monsters, and we will have already left before that. You can't be killed even if you want to... Now raise your guns and look forward with your eyes wide open! If you are seriously injured and your ability to move is affected, I will kill you without hesitation!"
After hearing Duize's words, the gunner was startled and raised the flamethrower to spray forward until the fuel was exhausted and the monster corpses in front of him had obviously piled up. Then Duize said in a deep voice:
"Mechanic, retreat, prepare to release the ES Viper Cannon. Everyone, hold on for three more seconds, then unleash all your moves and retreat!"
The three ES Viper cannons set up by the mechanic soon spewed out continuous energy bullets, followed by a violent explosion. Everyone activated the leaping skill at the same time, then aimed at the ATV in the distance and quickly leaped over, leaving the monster wave behind them.
In this battle, the group of sharpshooters led by Duize successfully delayed enough time, but they also paid a huge price of three deaths and one injury, with a casualty rate of more than 50%. In addition, six all-terrain vehicles were lost, and twenty soldiers of the Steel Bear Knights also died. Such a tragic casualty rate made Lieutenant Colonel Li Siwen of the Steel Bear Knights, who was in charge of this battle, look very unhappy.
Fortunately, the three dead sharpshooters were relatively weak, and strictly speaking, they were still mercenaries. The dead soldiers were also ordinary grassroots soldiers. Comparing the huge value of the spoils obtained in this battle, Li Siwen's face finally looked a little better.
After returning to the base, they found that it was heavily guarded everywhere, as if something big had happened. Even the unprecedented quality of the spoils brought back by Lin and his team was almost ignored. After a thorough investigation, they realized what had happened.
——The advance team that returned an hour ago had brought back a piece of debris. This thing was very familiar to the Steel Bear Knights, because this debris belonged to the mechanical centaur and was abandoned after being destroyed. Although the monsters in the sealed land had a good appetite, they probably had no interest in rubber and steel, so it was naturally picked up by the Steel Bear Knights.
This explains why the Steel Bear Knights were on high alert. Since the enemy's scouts had already bumped into their own scouts, it meant that the two sides' spheres of activity had already subtly overlapped. The two sides had already started fighting directly, but now they were just busy carving out territory in the dangerous and opportunity-rich Sealed Land, and had never joined hands to negotiate peace!
…
Time passed quickly, and Haide and Du Yuqi had already advanced at least twenty kilometers deeper into the sealed area.
——This is already a considerable number.
Because at this time, both the Steel Bear Knights and the Zero Organization had only made progress of four or five kilometers. The reason for this was very simple, because the latter two organizations were advancing steadily and cautiously, while Du Yuqi was protected by Skeleton and sneaked in.
The weak Chaos mutant monsters naturally fled under the threat of Skeleton, and Skeleton also had a strange ability that could sense the presence of powerful monsters and avoid them in advance, so the effect was naturally very good.
During the process of advancing, this strange pair of people were lucky enough to find a site, which was the burial place of a powerful explorer. He was a paladin named Yu Guo. After entering the sealed land, the power of chaos was not so strong at that time, so he explored it for eleven days, and finally died of exhaustion, and was buried in a cave under a cliff.
Because Yuguo collapsed the cave and sealed the entrance before his death, and the weapon he used was also very special, called the Blue Dragon Cross, which could continuously absorb the surrounding light elements so that they would not leak out, so he had never been discovered. It was also by chance that Du Yuqi and his friends discovered Yuguo's burial place and his diary.
According to the records in the diary, Yu Guo's purpose of entering here was the same as Du Yuqi's, that is, to look for someone. His good brother, the roaming gunman Batistan, known as a headshot maniac, was hired to enter the sealed land and never returned. Yu Guo was grief-stricken, but because he was entangled in many affairs, he had not been able to go out to look for the mystery of his friend's life and death.
When Yu Guo felt that he did not have much time left, he finally made up his mind not to leave such a strong regret in his life, so he bid farewell to his family and went deep into the sealed land. Obviously, from Yu Guo's diary, it can be seen that the sealed land at that time was far less dangerous than it is now, but it was also in its infancy.
More importantly, Du Yuqi also obtained some valuable information about the Sealed Land, that is, strictly speaking, the Sealed Land is like the inside of an orange, which is divided into many petals. Depending on the different forces that are re-condensed, many whirlpool-like convergence sub-areas are generated inside, and each sub-area has its own independent core area.
How to identify the core area of a sub-area? The method is actually very simple, that is, to see the creatures around. Once there are related single element creatures around, it means that the core area is here, because the related elements in the sub-area are too concentrated, which will directly cause the flesh and blood creatures to be forcibly transformed. Only elemental creatures can survive in it.
At the same time, although it seems that only creatures like mutant ants that move in groups and are good at cooperation can live better in the sealed land, each sub-area has a solitary and extremely powerful leader monster!
This leader monster possesses amazing strength. It usually hunts ordinary mutant creatures in the area for food, but it has a very strong exclusivity. Once monsters with other attributes invade, it will definitely come forward to kill them.
