Chapter 556 On the way forward
In this way, the car drove as usual for about half an hour, and everyone finally encountered the fog ghost that came to attack.
"boom--!"
There was a loud noise suddenly, and the armored vehicle at the front of the convoy shook violently, as if it had hit something.
"Enemy attack!" Zhao Chun's angry roar came from the walkie-talkie.
The next second, dozens of black shadows suddenly rushed out of the red fog, and this time the fog ghosts came in a group.
They roared and pounced on the convoy. Their sharp claws condensed from the mist tore at the metal shells of the armored vehicles, making a harsh friction sound.
"Fire!"
The military soldiers quickly set up machine guns, flames spurted out, and bullets poured out like a rainstorm, tearing the first fog ghost that rushed over into pieces.
But there were too many fog ghosts and they soon appeared in front of everyone.
"It's our turn." The players in the car looked out the window and saw all kinds of dazzling lights surrounding them.
On the other side, Xiao Jin kicked open the car door, and the Shattered Shadow Sword was unsheathed. The blade light was like snow, and instantly cut off the head of a fog ghost that was rushing towards him!
The man in black armor also jumped off the car, sweeping his long-handled axe. The runes on the axe blade lit up with a dark red blood light. He chopped down with one axe, directly cutting the two fog ghosts in half!
Yu Liu was still smiling, and a copper coin suddenly appeared in his hand. Then, he suddenly threw the copper coin into the air, and the copper coin spun and turned into a golden barrier, which bounced all the fog ghosts away!
The other players also took action -
The man in wizard robe raised his staff high, and a bolt of lightning dropped from the sky, exploding with a loud bang, splitting several fog ghosts into charcoal!
The fox-tailed woman formed seals with her hands, and the fox fire turned into chains, wrapping around the fog ghosts and burning them alive to ashes!
The black mist on the bandaged boy's body suddenly expanded and turned into countless fine black silk threads, piercing through the fog ghost's body and crushing them into pieces!
The battle was fierce but short, but it left the NPCs standing by stunned.
Zhao Chun: Strange... No wonder the base commander values these outsiders so much. Only such means can restrain those monsters!
Twenty minutes later, the last fog ghost was cut in half by Xiao Jin's sword, the fog dissipated, and silence returned to the surroundings.
There were about forty fog ghosts that came to attack this time, of which less than one-third were special fog ghosts, and the purification serums they dropped were even fewer, only 7.
As agreed before, all the spoils were handed over to the people at the base for safekeeping. After Zhao Chun took them, he told them to keep them well and not to bump them.
After repairing himself, he ordered in a cold voice: "Everyone get in the car and keep moving."
The convoy started again, but everyone knew that the real danger was still ahead...
The armored vehicle's engine roared in the dead silence, rolling over the cracked asphalt road, raising dust mixed with ashes and unknown dust.
Outside the thick bulletproof glass was an endless blood-red fog, sticky and stagnant, wrapping around the convoy as if it had life.
It had been several days since the fog changed, and the blood color around them had become darker. The deep red color was so intense that everyone had to close their eyes every once in a while.
The deeper you go into this ruin marked as the "Dead Zone", the stronger and more pungent the fishy smell in the air becomes, and every breath feels like swallowing cold rust.
"It's the fourth wave." Zhao Chun's voice came through the car's communicator, hoarse like metallic friction, breaking the oppressive silence.
He sat in the front passenger seat, his only remaining right eye staring at the depths of the blood mist through the periscope. That thing seemed to be specially made, able to see clearly what was happening in the mist.
But it seems difficult to produce, and Zhao Chun is the only one in the entire fleet who has it.
"We are still thirty kilometers away from the coordinates of the mother nest. Everyone, stay alert! The density of fog ghosts is increasing exponentially!" As if to confirm his words, a hair-raising, inhuman howl suddenly sounded in the red fog.
The next second, a hazy and distorted gray shadow swooped out from the shadows of the collapsed buildings on both sides of the road and from behind the wreckage of the overturned bus like a shark smelling blood!
They got on all fours and moved quickly, leaving afterimages. Their claws condensed from mist flashed ominously in the dim light as they fiercely grabbed at the thick armored shell of the convoy.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Open fire! Free shooting! Stop them!" Zhao Chun's roar was like thunder.
After several previous ambushes, Zhao Chun has become familiar with this process.
Ordinary fog ghosts can be killed with thermal weapons, and special fog ghosts can also be eliminated by concentrated fire, but there are still some that slip through the net and break through the fire line set by Zhao Chun.
At this point, it's the player's turn to take action.
The firing holes on both sides of the convoy instantly spewed out blazing flames, the heavy machine guns roared dully and tore through the air, and the large-caliber bullets easily tore the few fog ghosts in the front into rolling mist.
But more fog ghosts rushed forward fearlessly, slamming their bodies against the car doors, and their sharp claws scraped on the bulletproof glass, making a harsh and sharp noise and leaving deep marks.
"Damn it, it never ends!" A soldier gritted his teeth as he changed his ammunition belt, sweat soaking his forehead.
Xiao Jin sat in the back seat of the SUV, the cold scabbard pressed against the outside of her thigh. Beside her, the silent man in black armor had a dark red long-handled axe across his knees. The hideous runes engraved on the axe blade seemed to flow slowly in the dim light, emitting a frightening bloody smell.
On the passenger seat, the smiling tiger Yu Liu still had the same unchanging smile of Maitreya Buddha on his face, twisting a copper coin with a shiny edge in his hand. The coin flipped deftly between his fingertips, occasionally reflecting a little cold golden light.
Suddenly, a shadow nearly twice as big as an ordinary fog ghost smashed open the door of an armored personnel carrier on the flank! Its arms transformed into two huge, solid, sickle-shaped bone blades with metallic cold light flashing on the edges!
"Special species! Sickle arms!" A terrified scream came from the communicator.
This type of fog ghost base has been encountered by people before.
The sickle-arm fog ghost roared, raised the bone blade high, and with a whistling sound that tore through the air, it slashed fiercely at a light armored vehicle nearby that was responsible for fire support!
"Tsk-!"
A teeth-grinding sound of metal tearing rang out! The light armored vehicle was like butter being cut by a hot knife, and the roof of the vehicle and the heavy machine gun mounted on it were split diagonally by the knife!
Sparks flew everywhere, and the soldiers inside didn't even have time to scream as they were torn to pieces by the violent force in an instant!
"Focus your fire! Focus your fire on that special species!" Zhao Chun's eyes were bloodshot.
Several tongues of fire immediately changed direction, and bullets rained down on the sickle-armed fog ghost.
But the gray fog on its surface was extremely thick, and bullets hitting it were like sinking into a quagmire. They could only splash large gray ripples and could not cause any fatal injuries at all!
It braved the rain of bullets and swept across with another bone blade, severing two soldiers who tried to approach it in half! Blood and internal organs splattered on the gray ground, shocking the sight.
"Waste! Get out of here!" A sharp female voice sounded. It was the female player with vertical pupils and fox tail!
Her figure flashed, leaving an afterimage at a fast speed, and her figure instantly appeared on the side of the sickle-arm Mist Demon.
