Chapter 8 Escape
Chen Jian didn't look at Du Hu any more, because he knew that the current situation was actually quite clear.

This is a trap.

The opponent's goal is to lead his team into the narrow subway tunnel and then use the so-called mother body to kill everyone.

Whether it was out of pure malice or coveting the team's equipment, it didn't matter.

The most important issue now is how to escape from the mother body's pursuit.

According to the map, they are still nearly 800 meters away from the subway exit. Even if the intelligent system has planned the shortest path, it will still take at least 5 minutes to reach the exit.

That is to say, their average travel speed does not exceed one hundred meters per minute.

But the speed of the monster behind them was much faster than theirs!

The wider the tunnel, the faster it travels.

In narrow places, it can use its tentacles to climb the wall and squeeze its body out of the "can"!
There are no more options, either find a narrow enough cave to hide temporarily, or...
Face the enemy head on!

At this time, the team had already opened up a distance of dozens of meters from the mother body, and the booby traps set up by Lei Jie in the rear also took effect.

"boom!"

After the violent explosion, more than 400 steel balls completely covered the entire tunnel with their huge conical impact surfaces.

The mother's movements were momentarily hindered, but only for a moment.

The steel ball embedded deeply into the cuticle of the mother's head, but failed to penetrate it and did not cause any substantial damage at all.

On the contrary, the enraged mother became even more violent and sped up a bit.

The broken concrete created smoke and dust from the collision, and the air was filled with foul-smelling gases and suffocating dust.

Chen Jian decisively gave the order:

"Put on gas masks and activate emergency breathing apparatus!"

"Shen Yue, provide cover. Lei Jie, deploy the sniper grenade. Find a way to knock down its tentacles!"

"understand!"

"understand!"

The team that was moving forward quickly stopped immediately. Shen Yue fell to the ground, took a rough aim, and quickly pulled the trigger of the 201 general-purpose machine gun.

"Bang bang bang bang -"

Bullets poured out, but the scene that Chen Jian expected to see, with blood and flesh flying everywhere and the mother body collapsing to the ground, did not appear.

The 7.62mm small-caliber bullet may have caused some damage when it hit the mother's body, but the extent of the damage was too shallow.

This is normal.

How can the strength of the body tissue of a monster that can support a 20-meter-long body with muscles and bones be compared with that of a small minion who is only three or four meters tall?

Even if the strength increase brought by a five-fold body size is not five times, it will at least be two or three times.

"Reggie! Quick!"

Shen Yue shouted loudly.

At this time, the distance between the mother body and him was only the last 30 meters, and even those extended tentacles were less than ten meters away from him.

A few more seconds of delay and he would have risked being pierced by those razor-sharp barbed tentacles.

And it was at this critical moment that Lei Jie finally deployed his sniper grenade.

"Lower your head!"

After a loud shout, he pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The grenade passed through the entire tunnel, trailing white smoke, and then a spark exploded at the end of the tunnel, in the mother's huge mouthparts.

"boom!"

There was a flash of fire, and the mother body began to wriggle and struggle madly.

"The attack works!"

Lei Jie shouted, and Chen Jian immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the mother body.

The damage assessment module of the intelligent eyepiece immediately took effect, but because the data scanned the previous night was incomplete and the modeling was not yet completed, the assessment results were quite vague.

Chen Jian could only rely on his naked eyes to tell how much damage the monster had suffered from the power of the sniper grenade.

However, what he saw completely overturned his cognition.
-
If there was smoke but no damage, and the monster was fine, Chen Jian would think it was normal.

If there is an injury, but it is being repaired quickly, that is acceptable.

But neither is true.

Although a large hole had been blasted near the mother's mouthparts by the sniper grenade, the broken muscles on the wound were still wriggling rapidly as if they had self-awareness, and after just a moment, they had covered the fragile wound.

gecko.

A word flashed through Chen Jian's mind.

After the gecko's tail is detached from its body, the muscles there will also repair the wound and stop the bleeding in the same way. What the mother is doing can't be said to be somewhat similar, it can only be said to be exactly the same!
"Keep firing! Attack the tentacles first!"

"Shen Yue retreat!"

"Alternately cover the retreat!"

Chen Jian gave the order again, and at the same time, he took out his LG6 and fired at the mother body.

There were only five grenades left in the magazine, which were his last stock.

He must precisely control the rhythm of firing to avoid a fire gap for himself and Lei Jie, two heavy firepower hands.

Explosions continued to sound and the team quickly moved towards the subway exit.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Every explosion would cause the movement of the mother body to pause.

But after each explosion, it can regain its mobility at an astonishing speed.

It had indeed become weaker, and Chen Jian could see that clearly.

But being weak alone is not enough. If they cannot completely kill it or get rid of it before the grenades are used up, their team will be doomed.

Chen Jian's heart was beating as fast as a drum. The exit indicated in the eyepiece was less than fifty meters away from him.

But he only had one last grenade left in his hand.

"boom!"

Green smoke rose and the grenade hit the mother's mouth again.

Chen Jian made a prompt decision and threw LG6 behind him, turned around and ran towards the subway exit.

When he passed by Shen Yue who was waiting for him, he shouted:

"retreat!"

"understand!"

Shen Yue picked up the machine gun and ran at full speed with a standard field maneuver, while He Shuo, who was further ahead, had already set up his 10mm sniper rifle and fired the last two bullets in the magazine.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The high-penetration bullets directly penetrated the entire body of the mother, and Chen Jian clearly saw the sparks produced by the two bullets hitting the wall.

This gave him a bold idea:

If this monster is controlling its injuries by moving its muscles
Does that mean that the caliber doesn't need to be too large, and any weapon that can cause damage to it can kill it?

Maybe there will be a chance to verify this idea in the future, but not now.

At this point, the exit is right in front of you.

Chen Jian shouted to Lei Jie who was running in the front:
"Be prepared for explosion! Seal the exit!"

Then he quickly climbed the half-collapsed stairs and stepped out of the subway station.

This moment seems like a lifetime ago.

Before he could even sigh, Lei Jie had already completed the deployment of the explosives.

next second.

"boom!"

The upper part of the subway station entrance collapsed completely, and the heavy, rusted and weathered concrete fell heavily.

After the smoke and dust cleared, the horrific vibrations coming from underground seemed to have been completely isolated.

Chen Jian took two breaths and without stopping, he led the three members of his team to move away from the entrance.

Just after they ran less than 30 meters, a huge crash came from underground.

"boom!"

Then came the second and third tones.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The heavy sound like a drum hit Chen Jian's heart directly. He looked back at the raised ground. Before he could decide whether to evacuate and hide or fight to the death, the change had already happened suddenly.

"boom!"

The ground was broken and smoke and dust rose up.

The huge and terrifying mother body has broken out of the ground!
