Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 49 Can’t Get Away

The team of eight people quickly maneuvered towards the Baishazhou Bridge. After getting on the elevated road with sparse vegetation, Chen Jian turned off the power of the exoskeleton, but the speed of travel did not slow down.

15 minutes later, eight people arrived at the bridgehead of Baishazhou Bridge, and then used simple shelters to build a temporary bridgehead.

At this time, the monster that landed from Lake Thompson had arrived at the place where they had previously fought with the gophers, and the images taken by the drone also fully exposed the monster's appearance.

Looking at the images transferred to the smart eyepiece, Chen Jian was also dumbfounded.

He thought of many possibilities, but he never imagined that the thing that had caused the Adeptus Mechanicus to fail several times and made the extremely fast and flexible Holy Blood scouts unable to even send out information would actually look like this!

It is not a beast-like monster like a mole or a mantis, nor is it a humanoid monster like the mother in Chuansha City.
This thing looks like a giant bullfrog with a turtle shell.

The extremely developed leg muscles are covered with thick, barbed scales. The forearms are extremely long, and it only uses its elbows to touch the ground when moving, so that its elbows have grown scar tissue that looks like a tumor.

The front paws that stretched forward were also covered with scales, and the sharp bone claws appeared a strange, translucent amber color in the moonlight. When they were swung, large tracts of low plants were swept down.

The most horrifying thing is the monster's head hidden under the rugged carapace. It has completely lost its basic skeletal structure, like a piece of dough that has been kneaded into a round shape and then smashed hard on the gravel-covered ground. The sharp gravels are embedded in the dough, causing the skin and muscle tissue to be completely distorted and deformed.

This thing is not cute at all.

Especially in the eyes of the Holy Blood people who did not have night vision goggles, but when the monster jumped up and fell from the sky, the terrifying feeling of oppression almost made them lose the courage to look directly at it.

No wonder the previous team died at its hands.

Its super high maneuverability is absolutely worthy of the title of "Level 3 Monster"!
Xu Lie looked at Chen Jian, as if he wanted to ask about his plan.

But Chen Jian just lay on the ground calmly, aiming the 191 in his hand at the other party, and whispered:
"This thing is a bit weird, its entire body is covered with a shell structure."

"Jumping that high, not to mention the strength, can its bone structure support it?"

"The mother we saw in Chuansha City was so shaky when she walked that she had to rely on her tentacles to pull her along."

"We have to find a way to figure out the specific components of its body structure, otherwise..."

"At this point, I don't think it's necessary to do this kind of research, right?"

Xu Lie finally couldn't help but interrupt Chen Jian. At this time, the monster had finished checking the mole corpses on the ground and let out a sharp howl.

Along with its howl, a large number of abnormal heat signals instantly appeared in the drone's field of view.

"It's a gopher."

Chen Jian calmly gave the order:

"The gopher and this level 3 monster really have a symbiotic relationship. By the way, didn't you give this monster a name?"

"No. But is that the point?"

Xu Lie had already prepared to evacuate. He clearly noticed that the unusual noise coming from the direction of the overpass was very close.

Is it not too late if I don’t leave now?
If you are surrounded by these moles and your whereabouts are exposed, and the third-level monster pounces on you, even if you are the Chosen Ones, you will not be able to escape at such a close distance, right?
I don't want to die here yet!

"This is of course the key point. Without a name, we will have no direction to issue subsequent orders."

"Okay, let's call it Bullfrog."

"Mobilize the drone to lower altitude and maintain surveillance."

"He Shuo, use the anti-material sniper rifle to shoot at the target and test the bulletproof performance of the enemy armor."

"Lei Jie, set up the mortar. No matter what, let's shoot him first!"

"Shen Yue, shoot the target's head with the machine gun to disrupt its perception."

"Other holy blood warriors, stay where you are. If any moles come close, kill them immediately!"

"We don't run??"

Xu Lie was stunned.

"Run? Can you outrun it?"

"It can jump hundreds of meters in one leap. We may not be able to outrun it even if we take a helicopter."

"We can only fight first and retreat while fighting!"

".good."

Xu Lie could only stay where he was and stand guard. At this time, Lei Jie had already removed the mortar from the weapon rack on his back and adjusted the position.

The No. 10 sniper rifle in He Shuo's hand made a dull explosion, and a precious 12.7mm caliber incendiary bullet flew out of the barrel and hit the monster's head 1.2 kilometers away.

There was a flash of fire at the moment of impact, and the bullet easily penetrated the irregular scales on the monster's head and drilled under the skin.

"Roar--"

The monster rolled to the ground and wailed, but stood up again just a moment later.

In any case, the cavity effect caused by the 12.7mm caliber bullet is still too limited for its huge size. It is not that easy to hit the target with one shot.

"Keep shooting at the carapace to test its bulletproof performance!"

"understand!"

At a command, another incendiary bomb was fired.

Fire flew everywhere, and this time, everyone could see that the effect of this bullet was quite limited.

Did it penetrate?
Got it in.

The thick carapace cannot stop the incendiary bullets that can penetrate 20mm homogeneous steel plates, but the problem is that after penetration, the damage it causes is almost zero.

Can't deal any damage!

Chen Jian had a preliminary understanding of the bullfrog's protection level, and after a quick analysis, he came to a fairly simple conclusion.

"You can only hit the head."

"The incendiary bombs can barely penetrate, and the weapons in our hands can't cause much damage when they explode on our bodies."

"Damn, it's a pity that the sniper grenade has run out of ammunition."

"I should have left it here!"

"We have to find a way to keep it in place. Lei Jie, let's try firing one shot first!"

"Roger that!"

Lei Jie, who had already loaded the ammunition, immediately pulled the trigger. The extended-range killing bomb fell from the sky and accurately hit the monster's carapace.

"boom!"

After the explosion, fragments swept across.

But just as Chen Jian expected, this explosive bomb caused almost no damage to the monster.

It was simply knocked to the ground by the shock wave of the explosion, and after staggering a few times, it stood up again.

At this time, it had already locked onto the team's location and the bridgehead of Baishazhou Bridge.

Without any hesitation, Chen Jian unfolded the weapon rack.

Immediately afterwards, 4 Hidden Arrow missiles were fired out!

With a sharp whistle, three missiles flew straight to the monster's belly, and another missile made a strange turn and flew straight to the monster's twisting head.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"boom!"

Four explosions followed one after another, and flames rose.

The power of the CL-20 charge was so terrifying that after the smoke cleared, a huge hole was torn open in the monster's head.

Blood flowed and bones were broken.

The monster wanted to roar again, but no sound came out.

It could only keep its body steady and stare in the direction of the team.

Then, a leap.

The monster is coming straight at us!
