Steel steam and flame

Although the time was a little late, Ye Jielin and the others set off before it was completely light.

Soon after entering the area where the forest spread, mist began to drift around. The line of sight was blocked, and the speed of several tanks slowed down. Selmer stood up, set up the crane gun in the cylindrical composite bulletproof plate, and listened to the movements around him.

Entering the forest, there is already a slight amount of sunlight shining through the fog. The forest in front reflects the light and looks full of vitality. None of the group spoke and remained silent. Communication had been through gestures since they walked out of the ruined base. From that moment on, everyone got into preparations for battle.

Resting in a hidden location, Ye Jielin and Atuohuan checked the map to confirm their current location.

"It's about ten kilometers away, which is quite far in a dense forest environment." Atuohuan said at this time, looking at the red circle, he felt very worried. There are more than a thousand people distributed in this area, which can be said to be absolutely sparse. But as a surgeon, he shouldn't be so quiet under the silent attraction that can't find the reason. There needs to be some gunfire to fit the current situation.

"It's just that everyone is more cautious." Ye Jielin knew A Tuohuan's concerns, so she rolled up the map and put it in her backpack. When I turned on the mechanical watch, the time pointed to nine in the morning, and the temperature began to rise naturally.

Half an hour later, the team continued to move forward cautiously. The route was the one they had returned to three days ago. The surrounding environment was not familiar, but it did not feel strange either. Walking under the diffuse mist and water vapor, the mimic combat uniform on his body also turned into a mixed gray color.

A string of gunshots from far away stopped them in their tracks. The dozen or so people were all well-trained, and their bodies stirred the fog to the smallest extent, and they all came to the nearest bunker. Half a minute later, the gunfire finally spread, and the hollow and distorted sound became more real.

"Want to go there?" Atuohuan asked Ye Jielin with a gesture.

"Of course." Atuohuan nodded as expected. He knew Ye Jielin's fighting style, which sometimes seemed very reckless and without thinking. At this moment, it would be the best outcome for everyone to move forward to the destination in peace. After all, they know too little about the area that needs to be investigated. But Ye Jielin has always liked to take the initiative and never wants to be in a passive position. Once it is determined that there will be an inevitable conflict between two parties, no matter what the reason, they will seize every opportunity to attack the other party.

To explain in Ye Jielin's words: "In order to prevent these people from coming over to interfere with us when we have specific things to do."

At this time, the team divided into three teams according to the plan, opened a distance of tens of meters, and slowly moved closer to the location of the gunfire.

Soon, many teams joined in the gunfire. Sparks suddenly appeared in the autumn wilderness, and the silence was suddenly ignited.

"It looks like there are quite a few teams that want to cause chaos." Ye Jielin thought as she hunched forward. She changed her weapon to a map midway, and used the even number of steps as a ruler to update her position at all times.

Less than a kilometer away from the source of the sound, the team gathered around her. Pointing to the sky covered by dense forests, everyone nodded while finding the nearby ancient tree and quickly climbed up. Atuohuan's size did not affect his movements at all, his movements were still flexible, and his speed was not much worse than Ye Jielin. The round body has always been just an appearance.

Half a minute later, there was no trace of human presence here. After climbing into the tree, they all took out a small bottle of medicine with a spray nozzle and sprinkled the transparent liquid evenly on their bodies. A dozen or so people tried their best to adjust their breathing and heartbeat, minimize them, and gradually blend with the surrounding environment. Only Ye Jielin and Atuo Huan each had some free time to pay attention to the movement caused by the melee ahead, while observing the direction of the target position through the field of vision brought by the height.

The rustling sound came from afar with vibration. In less than a minute, the source of the vibration hit Ye Jielin's side, several hundred meters away. Slightly squinting her eyes, she seemed to be looking at the past. Under the interlacing of tree trunks, Ye Jielin did not see everything clearly. She only saw a piece of messy fur flashing past among the layers of silhouettes.

His eyes fixed that moment into a photo and extracted it into his mind.

It is indeed similar to the fur of wolves. It is gray-black, very rough, and has a hard needle shape, which matches the body shape very well. There are sharp barbs in it, shaped like spears, scattered around the body. What was finally revealed was a messy tail, hard and dark gray. In addition to barbs, it was more like bird feathers. The mottled purple and red colors probably facilitated the ejection of feathers when the tail was swung. Something like this can hit the target more accurately.

"Toxic!" When Ye Jielin judged it, the vibration and clicking sound were immediately hidden under the sound of gunfire.

The gunshots in the distance soon became more intense, and roars came. Just as Ye Jielin thought, when the giant wolf appeared, the firepower was transferred to it. Knocking on the mechanical watch, Ye Jielin counted the time, listened to the sound of gunfire, and estimated the number of people gathered there.

"In three and a half minutes, about forty people exchanged fire." On the side, other members came up with roughly the same data. At this time, there was still no movement. After waiting for a few breaths, with the sound of friction, a giant wolf about seven meters high jumped out from the dense forest in front, making everyone on the ancient tree hold their breath.

The body shape is consistent with the thinness of creatures like wolves, but this does not mean that there is insufficient food. Like a surgeon, it is very simple to control one's weight within a certain range. This statement also applies to the second category of creatures, which is intentional.

The hair is a very good defense. The craters caused by the bullets are all over the body. They are not big. They barely spatter a layer of flesh and the hair is dyed red in small patches. The slender cross-shaped pupils were embedded in the lavender eyes. The giant wolf looked around carefully at this time, and the hot breath he exhaled spurted out, stirring the surrounding dead leaves. After maintaining this action for a few seconds, the giant wolf opened its mouth enough to stuff an armored vehicle, put down the corpse stuffed in its mouth, and swallowed it all in one bite. Then, it squatted down and licked its wounds.

The saliva has also become self-healing and corrosive after being mutated by dragon infection. The dead leaves melt away layer by layer, just like the erosion of mold. In other words, this corrosive effect itself is caused by the symbiotic bacteria in the saliva. After the bullets in the body were removed by sharp teeth, the wounds began to scab at an extremely fast speed.

"Not pregnant?" A few minutes after the giant wolf left, Ye Jielin came to the dead leaf infected with blood. The saliva has melted through a dead leaf, revealing the dark brown soil underneath.

"It's definitely a female wolf, so what's the purpose of hoarding corpses?" Atuohuan was also confused, "Is he in the transformation stage? His head has been completely covered with hard and smooth barbs, and the hair on his body has turned into that Generally speaking, it does require a huge amount of food to support it.”

"I don't know, it's possible." Ye Jielin said, "But now is not the time to think about it. There are not many people attracted by the gunfire. It is estimated that including the people hiding in the dark, the number will not exceed two." Hundreds. The rest is as we expected. We took advantage of this time to accelerate towards the target area. I think the giant wolf will be very happy to see so many people gathered in one place when he goes back."

"Give them some time, and after cleaning up the remaining people here as much as possible, we may rush there at the right time." Ye Jielin said to Atuohuan, but the voice actually came from the abdomen, and the movements on her lips were consistent with these words. Completely inconsistent.

When the words fell, a group of about ten people ducked at the same time, and dozens of steel-cased bombs were thrown in one direction.
