Steel steam and flame

The two people who were hiding were thrown away by the impact. Bullets from several directions followed their bodies in an orderly manner and landed with them.

After a very short one-sided firing, and after confirming that there was no one else around, Ye Jielin and others came to the body from the evacuation bunker. In addition to several bullet holes that penetrated the body, the skin showed severe signs of decay. The attack from the giant wolf in the previous battle was affected. Whether it was saliva or blood, there were symbiotic bacteria.

"This is a bit like the biological agents we often use to dispose of corpses that cannot be taken away." Someone in the team looked at the corpse and said. The flesh and blood gradually turned into a thick paste, and eventually all became food for these bacteria, until the bones were completely corroded.

Someone squatted down, took out other potions and poured them on the rotting position of the corpse. It was a light yellow liquid that made a "chichi" sound when it came into contact with the corpse. Light smoke rose and the corroded area suddenly turned black. Then it turned into a dilute liquid and flowed into the dead leaves.

"It can be roughly determined to be similar to commonly used corrosive biological agents. The difference lies in the mechanism of the two. One prefers death, and the one on the giant wolf may be more threatening to living creatures. Because In a symbiotic relationship, when the host dies, they also become inactive afterwards."

"Are there any special preventive drugs?" Ye Jielin asked.

"It's not suitable here. Some powerful antibacterial infection drugs can prevent and treat them very well, just like several special drugs for treating colds. If I remember correctly, this kind of bacteria cannot penetrate very well. Penetrating skin defenses enter our body. Now they appear to be very corrosive. This is also because they come into contact with blood through wounds and can quickly spread throughout the body. Pay attention to the wounds on the body. If they are contaminated, The flesh and blood in that area will be removed very quickly, and the effect of the tranquilizer can also kill a small number of bacteria that have invaded the body."

"That giant wolf, which wolf variant do you think it belongs to?"

"It's probably another species that only appeared recently. It looks like the giant gray wolf that's common in the forest, but the gray wolf doesn't have sharp spear-like hairs or tail feather-like attack methods on its body or tail. It's from here It is a new creature that evolved after the second type of creatures hunted and preyed on each other, and the toxicity was transferred from the tusks of the gray wolf to all parts of the body."

"You will definitely encounter them later, so be careful." The team left at this time and headed in another estimated direction.

Some of the people hiding had already moved towards their destination after the giant wolf left, while the remaining ones had their sights set on the time and wanted to go there at the right time like Ye Jielin and others.

Hiding deeper, after clearing out a dozen people, Ye Jielin led the team back. Based on the battle data recorded just now and the giant wolf's movement speed, she and Atuohuan were estimating a reasonable time.

"Most of the team is in the target area, and it will only take more than half an hour for the giant wolf to return. In terms of firepower, the giant wolf should not be able to sustain it for too long. After all, with the help of external forces, it is more important for those people to know which side to eliminate first. . To hold on for fifteen minutes, I think it is possible with the strength of the giant wolf. The familiarity with the forest, the hunting instinct of the wolf itself, and the intelligence that he just showed to know how to hide himself, it is not impossible. "

"But it is not ruled out that the giant wolf has other means to wrap its head. If the hair similar to elongated scales can wrap its whole body, the platinum bullets will lose a lot of their power, and only the blue and silver bullets can cause damage. The battle will It becomes uncontrollable. Blue and silver bullets are not easy to control. Among us, Selmer is the only one who can ignore its recoil in a short period of time. Over time, there will be obvious faults in the fire network. It is not customized. As for weapons, the barrel can’t stand it.”

Delaying time again, Ye Jielin stood on an ancient tree. The target area was obscured by fog and she could not see the specific situation. There was no sound coming, it was all covered by the fog.

"After this mission, we still don't know how many people will be left." Ye Jielin thought, "It is certain that the number of people will be reduced by two to three hundred. After that, people from Samsung Academy will lose their only connection with the military school students and join the army." Into the empire."

Will it stir up something in the seemingly peaceful empire? Maybe not even a slight ripple will appear. But Ye Jielin herself did not agree with this result. Although there were only a few hundred people, after leaving school, they were able to gain real power in a short period of time, grow rapidly, and adapt to the new environment.

The position at the top of the pyramid must not be shaken, and subsequent wars will leave gaps in it. It is the middle and lower levels that are affected. The time is right, most of the conditions are met, and almost all the younger generations of the forces and families have returned to the empire some time ago. During this time of power transfer, something on them will definitely ignite something.

The inevitable process of history will become an invisible force, pushing these young people who are full of energy and ambition, but who do not have resilience and endurance, to pursue what they want. Either for higher power, strength, or simply wanting to survive, the cleanup of "germs" within all forces is approaching. There is also the possibility of wanting to become a leukocyte-like being. No matter what, Dubi will take action, at least in order to prevent himself from dying prematurely and inexplicably.

"I seem to have seen something..." Ye Jielin murmured as she withdrew her gaze. When she got down from the ancient tree and returned to the team, it was exactly half an hour later. Ye Jielin clapped her hands, and a dozen people returned to fighting mode from rest, and rushed towards the target location together.

Geothermal heat makes the fog in the target area thicker, and the temperature reaches more than 40 degrees outside the edge of the target location. The plants have undergone obvious changes. The leaves and bark are drier and have a withered yellow color that has been burned by high temperatures all year round. The footprints of humans and giant wolves were mixed together, and the dried blood became denser. There is a slightly pungent smell in the air.

"The way the giant wolf preserves and transports food is probably related to the symbiotic bacteria on its body." Listening to the gunshots that kept changing positions, Ye Jielin said in a serious tone, "It will be like spiders eating, maybe the symbiotic bacteria are still there." It has the effect of slowing food decay.”

Passing around a tangled vine, a corpse was nailed to an ancient tree with red and purple mottled tail feathers. The gray-black color spread to the whole body of the corpse. The organs and flesh were corroded by the poison and turned into paste, which flowed out from the wounds. The bark of the tree also looked like it had been burned under the paste. The sound of gunfire became more intense in the front, heavy weapons roared, and the impact of artillery explosions caused the calm mist to flow.

In the darkness of the dense forest, a gray light appeared ahead. The orange-red fire ignited the trees, thick smoke rose, and the distance of vision became smaller. Ye Jielin made a gesture and the team immediately dispersed.

After a few seconds, she reached the edge of the light. Ye Jielin hid behind an ancient tree before she poked her head out. The figure of the giant wolf rushed over her head, bringing with it a gust of wind and a billowing mist. The slender, scaly hair covered most of the giant wolf's body, reflecting the cold light. Its huge mouth tore in mid-air, and the body of the student it bit broke into two halves and fell down.

The giant wolf roared, and when it landed, all the hair on its body stood up upside down. The muscles on its skin contracted, making a friction sound like a kinked steel rope. The sharp spear-like hard object that was four to five times longer than ordinary hair was tense at this moment, and under the inspection of those dark purple pupils, it suddenly shot out.

"Wha--" With a sharp sound that broke through the air, several figures changing positions immediately separated. The spear thrust continued, exploding the tree trunk and stabbing deep inside.

Withdrawing her head, Ye Jielin waited until the giant wolf rushed towards the location where the firepower was concentrated, then took out her tactical knife and looked behind the ancient tree.

A deep pit with a diameter of three to four hundred meters was reflected on the snow-white blade, surrounded by traces left by the giant wolf's claws. The broken roots of ancient trees were piled up on the opposite side, and viscous liquid was deposited in the deep pit. The geothermal heat had heated them to boiling, and the bubbles emitted pungent smoke. It was a black-red liquid formed after biological corpses were corroded by symbiotic bacteria, and the skeletons of organisms that had not yet completely melted were soaked in it.

Among the bones, there are several rocks standing sideways. Changing the angle of the blade, Ye Jielin saw clearly that the rocks were oval objects four to five meters high, as if they had just been dug out of the ground. Over time, the rock fragments had been completely integrated with them. In some places, the stone skin peeled off, revealing a shell with dark red lines. These things are all produced by real creatures, and they still have strong vitality after being buried underground for a long time.

"Dragon eggs!" Ye Jielin recognized the meaning of those lines, and the family's confidential information was introduced in detail, "Does this giant wolf want to hatch them?"

I'm sorry for the delay due to some things. . . .
