Chapter 77: Taking the Stage in Disguise

Flesh flew everywhere…

A fierce beast that had leaped down from the side of the street was shattered in mid-air.

This type of fierce beast was the size of a baby, with a head somewhat resembling a cat. Its hind limbs were strong and power ful, while its forelimbs possessed fleshy membranes that allowed for brief gliding. Just now, they had silently appeared on the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street and then leaped fiercely inward. Relying on the membranes on their forelimbs and controlled by their tails, they could quickly rush toward their targets.

The shooter was a man named Wei Yaohua. Before joining the X Squadron, he was a main sniper of a Special Forces unit and had very rich combat experience.

The bodies of these small fierce beasts were still quite tough. Ordinary rifles or pistols might not be able to deal with them, but under a heavy sniper rifle, they appeared somewhat fragile. As an anti-materiel sniper rifle, it had strong killing power against radars and reconnaissance armored vehicles. The immense power meant that the fierce beast was almost exploded by a single shot, turning into a splash of scattered meat fragments.

A single small fierce beast was not scary. However, among the species of fierce beasts, the smaller the body size, the more massive the population.

Small fierce beasts could be seen emerging from the buildings on both sides of the street, covering the rooftops. With the sound of a gunshot, one by one, they screamed, opened their fleshy wings, and bounced toward the Infantry Fighting Vehicles. Hundreds of small fierce beasts, after jumping down in unison, looked like a dark, dense mass.

The 30mm machine guns on the Infantry Fighting Vehicles began spitting tongues of fire. This type of machine gun, originally based on the Russian 2A72 30mm autocannon, was stable in performance, but more importantly, its firepower was extremely ferocious. The fire net formed by three Infantry Fighting Vehicles tore any small fierce beast it touched into pieces, turning them into puffs of blood mist in the air. Under the power of the machine guns, the entire street seemed to be raining blood.

The doors of the Infantry Fighting Vehicles opened, and Qiao Bingsen rushed out first. The modified M134 he held started, the barrels rotating continuously as he began to pour out bullets.

“Da-da-da… da-da…” Zhou Liming was seeing the firepower of the M134 for the first time. Its terrifying rate of fire turned the bullets into an orange-red line of fire, creating arcs as Qiao Bingsen swung the weapon. Under its suppression, any small fierce beast hit was easily pierced by the bullets, falling to the street with mournful cries. Some didn’t even need to struggle before becoming motionless. Blood gushed from their corpses, dyeing the road red.

The dense number of small fierce beasts gave the members carrying machine guns a chance to display their skills. More than ten members carrying machine guns stood on the street, expressionlessly launching a massacre against these small fierce beasts.

The number of hundreds of small fierce beasts was still considerable. Under the encirclement of machine guns and autocannons, most of them still landed on the street. In the instant they touched the ground, their powerful hind limbs propelled them forward like arrows, gliding in the low sky above the street. From their wide-open mouths, countless small, dense teeth were exposed.

Zhou Liming held the M99 like an ordinary rifle. After sensing it in his heart, he lifted it and pulled the trigger.

With a “boom,” a small fierce beast flying at low altitude was hit and exploded into fragments in the air. The body, only the size of a baby, seemed quite cruel under the 12.7mm heavy sniper rifle. Often, hitting them resulted in fragments scattered on the ground. The bullets, with their super-high penetrating power, would tear their bodies into shreds under the huge inertia.

Seeing these small fierce beasts, like dancing elves, rushing up from the ground to cover the sky.

With an “Oh,” a member threw down the machine gun in his hand and rushed fiercely toward the small fierce beasts. His clothes were torn apart while running, and his form turned somewhat like a werewolf. He made a motion of howling to the sky. Just as the small fierce beasts were about to rush at him, he opened his mouth, and countless wind blades appeared, making a whistling sound of wind in the air.

The silent wind blades cut in front of the small fierce beasts. The fur of the small fierce beasts, which ordinary bullets could not harm, was cut through by the wind blades.

One by one, the small fierce beasts were cut into pieces of meat, falling heavily onto the street. Their damaged internal organs continuously flowed out from their bodies, which were cut into several parts. The entire scene was extremely bloody. Although these small fierce beasts were quite tough, after all, they were only Level Two Fierce Beasts. To the members of the X Squadron, who possessed at least Level Four Fierce Beast genes, they did not constitute a threat.

Tao Yihui possessed the Level Four Fierce Beast Gene of the Snow Wolf, and his form attack method was the wind blades with large-area killing power.

Form Attack skills were actually determined by how many times one could use them based on one’s personal attributes. Tao Yihui dared to use wind blades right from the start because his physical fitness was very strong, allowing him to use wind blades four times. In the X Squadron, everyone had powerful bodies. For example, Qiao Bingsen could use Form Attack up to seven times.

This was understood through some internal documents. In comparison, Zhou Liming could normally only use them twice, and barely three times, which was somewhat embarrassing.

Lian Ruixue stood on the Infantry Fighting Vehicle. The sniper rifle tucked inside her clothes would occasionally put one bullet into the escapees, always hitting the target to shatter the small fierce beasts.

It could be said that for these ferocious groups of small fierce beasts, only a few, about a dozen or so, successfully approached the Infantry Fighting Vehicles. But under the hands of several members who transformed into Human-shaped Fierce Beasts, they were directly pierced through the body with claws and thrown aside. The combination of machine guns and Form Attack skills meant that within just over ten minutes, these hundreds of small fierce beasts had already become corpses scattered all over the street.

The pungent smell of blood spread throughout the street, and the countless bloody-red meat chunks and fragments made people nauseous.

Such a huge disturbance naturally attracted the attention of other fierce beasts. Several Flying Fierce Beasts skimmed over the street and then stopped in the nearby buildings. However, they did not seem to intend to come down, just staying on top, which made all the squadron members breathe a sigh of relief.

In the alleys beside the street, a group of sneaky Corpse Eaters appeared. They stared at the meat chunks on the street, and their drool occasionally dripped from their mouths. Naturally alert, the Corpse Eaters did not rush in to eat these meat chunks. Instead, they warily watched the entire team, sometimes showing impatience, and occasionally hearing them make low growling sounds as they lowered their heads.

Lian Ruixue dared not stay too long. The sound of the recent battle and the thick smell of blood had turned this street into a place of trouble.

All the members returned to the Infantry Fighting Vehicles again and soon disappeared one after another down the street.

Several tall, unknown fierce beasts appeared from the side of the street. Ignoring the other fierce beasts that were eyeing them fiercely, they walked up to the meat chunks and fragments, biting into the meat and devouring them greedily.

Some Corpse Eaters couldn’t resist rushing into the street. Like thieves, they grabbed a piece of meat and returned to the dark alleys like the wind. Other Corpse Eaters naturally came to compete for it, making loud fighting sounds. As more and more Corpse Eaters came out to scavenge, seeing no danger, they all rushed onto the street.

With a “thud,” a Flying Dragon Beast descended from the sky. It merely touched the ground and soared back up. Under its sharp claws, it had already caught a struggling Corpse Eater that was crying mournfully.

As the bloody smell on the street drifted away, more and more fierce beasts took the stage…
