Mutant Bats

In the pitch black and spacious tunnel, the chilly wind makes a whirring sound. The strong headlights of the Tianlong illuminated the front of the track. The lights of different sizes on the train mark the edge range of the entire train, allowing people on board to avoid stepping on and falling off.

At this moment, the Tianlong suddenly came to a stop, and with the command of the leader No. 17, soldiers came out of the carriage, either on or off the train, divided the warning range, and put the entire train on guard.

Tom, Ouyang Haotian, and others also got off the car. They were wearing Awakener armor and began to join the defense circle. Quickly on the 23rd, he was called over and followed to the front of the car. Using the two headlights of the Tianlong, he saw a blurry figure ahead.

Another human skeleton, lying horizontally on the train track, blocked the path of the Tianlong.

"This size is not right, it died just as it started to shrink," Dr. He walked over in surprise. "All that's left is the skeleton."

Tom saw that the skull of the skeleton was shattered, and immediately understood that it must have been a failure to die during the process of shrinking. He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and reminded the 23rd; "Not good, there may be mutated creatures around!"

On the 23rd, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Be on guard, strengthen your guard, Liu Lian, don't stop your voice radar, keep an eye on the surroundings!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Lian loudly replied, "No, there are dense creatures flying towards six o'clock!"

As soon as Tom heard this, he accelerated and rushed forward, pushing away the skeleton lying horizontally on the rail.

The skeleton had a bit of weight, and he managed to move it away with a force of 100. On the 23rd, he immediately called for Pan Mingda's help.

At this moment, someone loudly reported, "Unknown flying objects have been discovered, observable... ah..."

Almost simultaneously, a piercing sound came from everyone's ears, which was from bats, sharp and piercing.

"Fire, free to fire, everyone get in the car, Tianlong starts!" Number 17 ordered loudly, enduring the piercing pain of his eardrums and leading others into the carriage. At this moment, the heavy machine gun on the third carriage was the first to fire. Four strong searchlights shone towards the rear of the train and saw dozens of black shadows rushing towards them.

The soldiers orderly retreated from the car, while their weapons kept firing, using the lights to shoot at the approaching bat swarm.

A soldier standing on an oil tanker train was caught by a bat, and as soon as he rose into the air, he eagerly lowered his head and tore open his neck, causing blood to gush out.

The strong smell of blood permeated the sky above the class car, making the whole group of bats excited. They braved their powerful firepower and lingered in the air, searching for their respective targets before landing.

The scene at this moment is very similar to the scene of a ghost attacking a crowd in a fantasy movie. Some people are picked up by bats, while others are shot several times in the air and fall directly to the ground.

Despite the chaos, well-trained soldiers managed to retreat to the first carriage and opened fire through the train window, while the bats could not resist the sturdy metal carriage and could only hit it with their bodies, making a dense thud sound.

The other Awakeners wearing Awakener armor stayed outside and fired with their specially designed assault rifles in their respective hands.

The equally sturdy metal armor, coupled with its heavy self weight, made the bats helpless. However, it is also not easy for the awakened in armor to hit the bat hovering in the air, as the metal guard still obstructs some of the shooting vision.

The Tianlong was launched again, and Tom and Pan Mingda happened to move most of the skeleton away, leaving nothing to stop the powerful Tianlong.

The Tianlong train passed by the two of them, and they started their speed increase. They braved bat attacks and ran all the way, finally jumping onto the third carriage before the train accelerated.

In order to get rid of these bats, the Tianlong started at full speed and quickly increased its speed to a maximum speed of 68 per hour.

However, just like sharks smelling blood, the bat swarm still lingered on the head of the Tianlong, appearing to be faster than the Tianlong, and even able to continuously attack from the top of the carriage.

A awakened person wearing Jade Rabbit Type II armor was busy shooting when he was knocked out by a bat. His screams were just heard, and his entire figure and voice disappeared into the darkness, leaving him far behind.

"Xu Ke!" Pan Mingda shouted urgently, but everyone had no choice. It was unrealistic to stop now. On the contrary, it was because of his landing that some bats left the Tianlong, presumably intending to nibble on Xu Ke who had fallen off the car first.

For the villain, the train with a speed of 86 per hour is very fast, and his heavy armor falls off, making him both immortal and disabled. Tom and the others wanted to get down, but the defense in the car was their task. They couldn't leave now, and Pan Mingda could only pray for Xu Ke.

Due to the obstruction of skeletons, the Tianlong came to a stop, and the strong human scent on board caught the attention of this group of bats lurking in the tunnel. At this moment, they got on the car and drove away, hiding in the carriage. Bats couldn't do anything about them. Even if they can't shake it off, they can still run non-stop. I don't believe these bats can catch up with Jinrui Hotel Station.

During the journey of the Tianlong, a huge figure appeared above the train. Under the illumination of the large light bulb at the top, its eerie black body had not only fur but also a network like luminous ripple.

At this moment, it spread its wings and glided, emitting a burst of ultrasonic waves towards the Tianlong below. The eardrums of the people in the car were pricked to the point where everyone was almost paralyzed.

The 17th realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately struggled to command the driver to stop.

In theory, the ultrasonic waves emitted by bats cannot be heard by human ears. However, it seems to be due to mutation, as the sound wave attacks it emits make people feel limp and powerless, just like the sound wave attacks Tom encountered when he was attacked by the tattooed man.

Fortunately, a pair of earplugs were equipped in everyone's equipment, which was prepared to prevent being affected by the piercing sound when encountering giant monsters.

The screams of the bat swarm just now were just too piercing, and everyone didn't pay attention. Now they have been attacked by the ultrasonic waves of the big bat, and everyone has taken out earplugs to put on.

The order on the 17th is difficult to issue, but there is a contingency plan in advance. When he pressed the emergency switch, the LED lights on the roof immediately flashed red, and the car horn sounded an alarm at the same time.

The soldiers could still hear the same piercing alarm sound, but in the dark tunnel around them, the flickering red light could be understood by anyone who was not blind: eliminate the threat of invasion.

They all got out of the car, holding weapons and constantly shooting at the big bat above their heads.

Unlike other mutated organisms, bats are not known for their hard defenses. With such a huge body hovering in the air, it is a big target that soldiers can really shoot with their eyes closed.

A round of bullets hit it, splattering blood holes, and the blood spread down as if it didn't cost money, leaving many people both surprised and delighted.

The first time they encountered such a great guy who was so easy to hit, the bullets were surprisingly effective, which was completely mismatched with its flashy appearance.

The big guy circled around and fell towards the most densely populated area of the soldiers. Three people who couldn't run in time were blown away by the strong wind it fell on and collided with the carriage, causing them to break their heads and bleed blood.

At this point, the big bat no longer emitted ultrasonic waves, and everyone quickly removed their earplugs in order to listen to the commander's orders.

"Heavy weapon, give me a fight." The 23rd shouted the command loudly, and just now his ears were buzzing, so he shouted even louder.

The soldier holding the rocket launcher immediately fired the rocket, and more than thirty rockets shot past, causing a series of explosions on the big bat, splattering blood and flesh everywhere.

Tom and Ouyang Haotian both dismantled their heavy machine guns, each carrying a single one, and opened fire regardless of the explosion effect.

The thick smoke dissipated and the corpses of the big bats with thousands of holes were exposed in front of everyone, while Tom's heavy machine gun continued to spit out flames, splattering more blood on the wreckage, while the assault rifles of other soldiers were also firing.

Before the commander calls a stop, no one dares to be careless. The saturation attack covers the past to ensure that the target has no chance of counterattack.

"Cease fire!" The 23rd loudly ordered through a handheld loudspeaker, and everyone stopped shooting.

Even if there was a ceasefire, the team did not dare to be careless. Under the order of the 23rd, Tom and five other armored awakeners approached carefully with weapons in hand, while the soldiers held their breath and stared at their situation.

Tom put down his heavy machine gun and squatted down to inspect it. The head of the big bat was already rotten, and its internal organs were fragmented. When the rotten meat was removed, the crystals inside could be vaguely seen.

"Dead!" Tom announced loudly, "If you can still live like this, then you really have entered the realm of horror movies.".

The crowd erupted in loud cheers, and the small bat that had previously attacked them also dispersed due to the death of the big bat. At this moment, the threat dissipated, and the stone weighing on everyone's hearts could be considered removed.

Pan Mingda was thinking about his teammate who fell, and after obtaining permission on the 23rd, he moved down an electric bike. He sat at the back of the car wearing armor and drove back with his two teammates to search for Xu Ke.

"How is it?" Yan Xuebing asked.

Tom shook his head and took out a crystal, a level 5 blue crystal. Unfortunately, it had already been shattered by their saturation attack, missing a few notches and breaking into three pieces.

"Alas... it's a pity... I haven't obtained a level 5 blue crystal yet."

Ouyang Haotian stood at the edge from a distance, pinching his nose and muttering, "You can't blame us either. Who knew this big guy was so easy to beat. If only the mutated creatures outside were also so easy to kill, it would be convenient and we wouldn't have to work so hard."

The 5th level blue crystal is useless, but fortunately, the 3rd level yellow crystal used as energy storage is intact and can be used after being tested by an awakener.

Part of the bodies of the mutated bat are being collected, and when they return, they will be sent back to the research and development department for analysis. As for the broken blue crystal, it is still a useful material and cannot be wasted.

Pack up on this side, and on the other side, Pan Mingda and others have also returned.

Xu Ke, who fell, had already died, which was also expected. In addition, there were four soldiers who died at the docking site of the Tianlong, and Pan Mingda also drove back to bring them over. For the safety of this route, it is not easy to leave dead human corpses for these creatures to gnaw on, as this will cause new mutated creatures.

Under the leadership of the 17th, Pan Mingda ignited their bodies, and everyone gave a brief farewell ceremony before boarding the Tianlong ship again to continue their journey, as there was still greater danger waiting for them.
