A large amount of smoke and dust in the center of Augustus suddenly rose, and even Kelan, a few tens of meters away, they could feel a strong earthquake coming from the ground.
Although Kelan’s vision was obscured by smoke and dust, valentina shared the "Augustus" monitor picture to the communication channel for the first time. Through the screen, you can see that those wolves just retreated two steps, but then they rushed directly towards "Augustus" under the cover of smoke and dust.
"Not only did it not deter, but it stimulated the ferocity of these creatures," Ivan said.
"You don’t have to leave your hand when you are allowed to counterattack!" Kelan immediately ordered
The shared angle of view flashed up and saw a flash of silver light. Augustus had rushed out of the smoke and dust range. There were two crescent-shaped blades on the outside of his arm-a series of splashes of blood followed behind the blades, but the blades were not stained with blood.
Augustus retreated a dozen paces before stopping, and then made a defensive counterattack posture in the direction of smoke.
However, those wolf-like creatures didn’t chase them out of the smoke.
It wasn’t until a few seconds later when the smoke cleared that everyone could see clearly what had happened-there were three wolf-like creatures whose bodies were cut off. These three heads happened to be the biggest "wolf" who had tried to approach Augustus before, while other wolf creatures threw themselves down, tearing and biting the flesh and blood of the "wolf"
"The first reaction of these animals at present is not to pursue but to devour the bodies of their killed companions …" A former raptor squad member said with a face of astonishment.
"Say that these animals are really hungry." Thirty-three nodded. "For them, the priority of eating is far from resisting foreign enemies."
"Before they ate, the remains had been eaten up … if we hadn’t come, they would probably kill each other again," Ivan said.
Although the three "wolves" are strong, they can’t hold dozens of hungry wolves. In less than two minutes, their bodies have all been chewed up, leaving torn skeletons and broken fur stained with blood.
After eating this "fast food", those wolf-like creatures finally turned their attention to Augustus and the group of relics hunters behind the mecha again.
"Let me deal with them," said the ghost owl. "A living animal is worth more than death."
Ten gray bird hunters lined up their tranquilizer guns and pointed their guns at the distant "wolves"
"release!"
Ghost owl fires ten tranquilizer guns at the same time. This posture is a bit similar to the tactics of "queuing and shooting" when gunpowder entered the army in the 17th century, but compared with the deafening guns of gunpowder and the choking muzzle smoke, the movement produced by anesthetic guns is almost negligible.
Not only the movement when shooting, but also the shooting effect … seems to be negligible.
Without a wolf-like creature, it’s as if all these tranquilizer guns have hit the place.
The distance between the two sides is only 100 meters. Each of these anesthesia guns is a high-end hunting tool made by top gun companies, and it is impossible to miss the target with high-precision optical sight.
But a stone thrown into the water can still splash a little, but these anesthesia guns hit those wolf-like creatures, but they didn’t even respond at all
"Could it be that the dosage is too small?" Ivan looked at the ghost owl and asked
"It’s 16 standard unit doses of reinforced ammunition," said the ghost owl with a straight face.
Anesthetic bombs, like "live ammunition", also have standard dosage units … Generally speaking, a standard unit dose is three seconds enough for a strong, unreinforced or modified adult male, and three or four units is enough for a bull.
Sixteen units … personal words can be regarded as "fatal amount"
"Load the ammunition and prepare for the second round of shooting"
Another volley, followed by the third and fourth rounds … No fifth round, not because of running out of ammunition, but those wolf-like creatures have rushed to Augustus and the mecha’s melee.
But before that, not even a wolf-like creature was put down by an anesthetic bomb
"The drug resistance of these organisms … is not generally high," Ivan said, taking the equipment with him to make a record.
"Change live ammunition" said the ghost owl, whose tone remained stable-for him, such a thing was not even an accident.
Not all wolf-like creatures have targeted Augustus, and almost half of them have bypassed the tall mecha and rushed towards Kelan’s side.
"First, small caliber firearms are shot to test the biological defense," said Kelan.
The live ammunition equipped by the hunters of the Grey Bird Hunting Group is Ark carbine, and the modified caliber is all uniform 10 mm. This thing shoots enough to break a person in half, but the Alpha indigenous creature can really be regarded as a "small caliber gun"
"Three bursts of short shots are aimed at the leg joints first," said the ghost owl
"bang! Boo-hoo! Boom! ….. "The gun suddenly rang into a piece, but at this time, an unexpected scene happened-a faint" light curtain "appeared in front of the wolf creatures!
When the hunters of the Grey Bird Hunting Group shot out the bullets and touched these "light curtains", they were instantly smashed and the sparks splashed, but they didn’t hurt the creatures behind the light curtains!
"This is … this is the energy shield? ！” Rao has seen strange events, and the ghost owl can’t help but frown at this time. "How can there be an energy shield in the biological body?"
Although the "light curtain" of these wolf-like creatures is much dimmer than the energy shield made by the shield generator, it is definitely a genuine energy shield from the impact effect of the bullet-those fine and bright sparks are actually metal droplets produced after the bullet is melted at high temperature. What else can this defense mechanism be?
"The biological body doesn’t necessarily have no energy shield …" Kelan immediately thought of the "resurrected" beast Leviathan, but Leviathan was able to release the energy shield because those bloody worms simulated the shield generator structure … and these "wolf-like creatures" obviously could not have such ability.
If they have a "shield generator", when Augustus just cut off the three "wolf heads", their bodies should explode directly instead of falling into the mouth of the same kind.
"It’s different. It’s different at that time." Ivan shook his head again and again. Obviously, he knew that Koran meant "the creature with energy shield", which was the leviathan beast. "This is a completely different mechanism …"
His eyes are burning up-it’s a groundbreaking discovery for a biology lover. Ivan knows better than anyone else that the energy shield has a biological body. What does this mean?
"You must capture a living sample!" Ivan shouted, "I can’t find the right words to describe their research value for a while, but you must know that these creatures contain as many mysteries as a wild species!" "
"Is this too exaggerated? Can these guys compare with the wild species? " Thirty-three pinched his nose and asked him if he knew when he had clipped several Nino alloy flying knives. If it weren’t for Ivan’s mouth, he would have lost the flying knives by this time.
Wolf-like creatures have rushed into the minefield at this time, and those anti-infantry mines have been activated one after another-hundreds of metal balls the size of broad beans are spinning at high speed, jumping up from the ground and then bursting one after another to eject even smaller steel balls.
Hunters noticed that some of the steel balls were intercepted by the "energy shield" of the wolf-like creatures, while others were actually shot at them-but the tiny steel balls didn’t hurt these rough-skinned animals, and the only thing that probably slowed down their charging speed slightly.
"They seem to control the energy shield … is it an adaptive trigger mechanism? Or biological stress response? No, no, maybe it’s more complicated than I thought … It won’t be from the cellular level … "Ivan is still brainstorming here, while two machine guns behind the shield on the other side have roared.
Chapter five hundred and fourteen "new species"
Although the caliber of the 65mm HE bullet is smaller than that of the 10mm powerful bullet of the assault rifle, the penetration and stopping are slightly weaker, but the rifle bullet is usually filled with lead core or steel core AP bullet is tungsten core … and the warhead of this HE bullet is filled with miniature detonators and high explosives.
(anti-bar tips: the bullet penetration and stopping are not as strong as the penetration, and stopping is weak. The two attributes do not conflict. AP and HE are abbreviations for armor-piercing and high-explosive respectively.)
