Chapter 40 Crocodiles Come Ashore
"Chief Miao, ahead, ahead..."
The driver was clearly frightened by what he saw, and he could barely speak.
Miao Zikai frowned and quickly went to the driver's side. "Let me see, what could happen... Oh my god!"
Upon hearing his voice, Wu Ou also became curious.
I leaned closer to take a look, and what I saw was indeed quite surprising.
A giant snake, at least twenty meters long and one meter thick, lay sprawled on the road.
If you don't look closely, you might mistake it for a large log!
"This, no..." Miao Zikai rubbed his eyes and even pinched his thigh.
The pain in his leg told him that everything before him was real.
They had already discovered the large snake long ago.
It is the overlord of a nearby park, dominating the area with its immense physical strength, powerful scales, and highly corrosive venom.
Even the outer shell of a car can be corroded.
Fortunately, most of the insects there became its main food source, and as long as it didn't go deep inside, it rarely attacked humans on its own initiative.
It can often be seen that flocks of mutated birds from the sky rush towards it, trying to kill it.
In the end, however, the birds always left behind most of their dead companions and slunk away.
Sometimes, they even manage to find one or two badly injured bird carcasses to improve their meals.
But now, it has not only appeared here, on the banks of the Beijiang River, but it also looks like it is seriously injured and on the verge of death.
What exactly happened, and who injured it like this?
dong dong dong-
A series of strong footsteps approached.
A crocodile more than ten meters long actually walked over "upright".
This is why the footsteps made such a loud noise.
"Holy crap! Is this... a monster?" Miao Zikai was also a man in his early thirties who had seen those famous science fiction movies.
"Dr. Wu, is this the Beast King you're talking about?" Miao Zikai turned to look at Wu Ou, grabbing his sleeves as if to give him a sense of security.
In his view, such a mutated crocodile was already worthy of being called the "King of Beasts"!
At this moment, Wu Ou frowned as he looked at the upright crocodile energy beast in front of him.
Because in his perception, this seemingly powerful crocodile energy beast was actually only at the initial stage of level one, the same level as the giant snake lying on the ground with only one breath left.
Could it really have been won through a sneak attack?
"Doctor, say something!" Miao Zikai said anxiously.
The two of them are the actual leaders of their respective teams.
As for the initial statement about investigating the "King of Beasts" crocodile in the Beijiang River, they treated it as just a formality, or assumed that the King of Beasts crocodile was not powerful.
But now that he has actually seen this huge crocodile, Miao Zikai is the first person who is not confident in his own strength.
In his view, this kind of "monster" was beyond the capabilities of "ordinary people" like them!
"Brother Mengzi, Su Xue, notify them to prepare for battle!" Wu Ou didn't know why this giant snake, which shouldn't have been here, had appeared here and was in such a dying state.
However, he was very clear about one thing: he absolutely could not let the giant snake's corpse fall into the mouth of the crocodile in front of him.
We must not let it fall into the mouth of that beast king who has yet to show himself in the Beijiang River!
"What?!" Miao Zikai looked shocked, but Hu Meng and Su Xue's team of guards led by Wu Ou had already arrived at the car door.
"Chief Miao, please order the gate to be opened." Wu Ou turned to look at Miao Zikai, who was still unable to calm down, and said in a very calm tone.
Miao Zikai turned his head and looked at Hu Meng and the others. Their determined gaze gave him a sense of confidence for some reason.
"Alright! I'll send them down right away! But the men on my side are all armed with cold weapons like knives, spears, and axes, or bows and arrows, so they won't be of much help."
Miao Zikai gave an awkward smile as he spoke, but before he could utter his next sentence, he was stunned by Wu Ou's actions.
Wu Ou actually got off the vehicle right after the soldiers!
No!
As a scientist, a key figure who uses his brain, even if you want to study mutated beasts, you should wait until the soldiers kill or control them and ensure safety before approaching them!
In this situation, if you go to the "battlefield," will these soldiers deal with the mutated beasts first, or protect you first?
He couldn't help but think of the characters he saw in some movies who were being protected, and they often did some "self-destructive" or "brain-dead" things.
While watching, he laughed but also felt that such behavior was unlikely to occur in reality, because those people didn't have much power and could be easily 'controlled' and protected. How could they possibly run off to dangerous places so casually!
Moreover, they are all intelligent people; how could they not know the dangers there and their own importance!
But when this scene actually happened in front of him, he was truly dumbfounded.
"I……"
He wanted to swear!
The other party has already gotten out of the car. If something really happens, and he, the most powerful person on this side, or the person in charge of Linjiang Shopping Mall, does nothing...
If something goes wrong, he might just "cut himself off" at the Linjiang Shopping Mall base!
"Sigh!" With a sigh, he had no choice but to grab his weapon and get out of the car.
The energy beast crocodile seemed to have seen Wu Ou and his group as well.
Instead of continuing to attack the giant snake, he stared intently at them, his muscles bulging as if ready to unleash tremendous power at any moment.
When a crocodile stands upright, it normally exposes its vulnerable belly. However, the belly of this crocodile looks the same as its back.
"Attack!" Wu Ou glanced at it and immediately gave the order.
He knew this guy was all show and no substance, but the others didn't.
Right now, we need to dispel the fear in everyone's hearts.
Hu Meng and his guards immediately drew their guns and attempted to attack the crocodile's weak points.
Looking at the weapons in their hands, a hint of envy flashed in Miao Zikai's eyes.
Putting aside the fact that a gun is a 'toy' that a man finds hard to resist, having experienced a year of disaster, he understands even more how important a deterrent weapon is.
You might not be able to defeat the mutated beasts, but if you can't defeat other people, then it's very dangerous.
A gun is a guarantee that gives people courage and confidence.
Now, let alone being able to get a gun, even if they had one before, it's practically useless now, because they don't have the technology to reload bullets.
The pistol he was carrying only had three bullets left, making it practically useless in this situation!
"Could it be that the northern base is already capable of producing firearms and ammunition normally?"
A thought flashed through my mind, followed by a nameless fear and tension.
Just how powerful is the Northern Base now?!
