10 – Crushing Power
The captain of the motorcade had also perceived Luo You’s intention from his movement trajectory. However, this man with a full beard was currently very hesitant. He was truly very grateful to Luo You for his help, but he didn’t know who the other party was. The weapon, the exceedingly accurate sniping ability, and now the running speed that didn’t loose to the Nightmares’, this person was definitely an Evolver!
Wilderness Survival Code, Article 2: Do not meddle in other people’s business!
In the wilderness, an Evolver, who suddenly went to aid unrelated people, would definitely have strong reason for doing so. A disposition like ‘ready with drawn sword at the sight of injustice’ had become obsolete along with the collapse of the old era. Now it was an era of everyone for themselves.
“Captain, what should we do? Do we help him? What if he is after our supplies?” An experienced soldier standing beside the captain started inquiring.
When the captain was contemplating this issue, he suddenly heard a high-pitched roar coming from the side, and he looked into the distance in dismay. With half of its shoulder smashed, the Nightmare Leader stood up once more. Even in this sorry state, spitting up blood incessantly, it still burst out into a roar and proceeded to command the Nightmares.
Under the roar, the Nightmares, which had been foolishly chasing after Luo You, had suddenly separated into two groups. One group continued with their pursuit, while the other group winded in a shortcut to intercept You Luo, attempting to force him into a dead end. Impressively, they were employing the flanking maneuver, a commonly used maneuver in warfare. This simple detail reflected the Nightmare Leader’s exceedingly high intellect.
“Fuck, there’s too many of them to handle! It’s so hard to come across an Evolver! We’re dead meat if he dies! Let’s first repel the Nightmares!” The captain briefly judged the present situation, and then ordered decisively: “Team 3, go to the truck with the spotlight! I want you to keep the Nightmare Leader illuminated! Team 4, go to the machine gun turret! Attack the Nightmare Leader! You don’t need to kill it, just make it shut its trap! The rest, follow me to give the Evolver fire support! Be clever about it! If met with danger, run! Don’t be foolish, don’t trow away your lives for a stranger!”
Luo You noticed the survivors’ response. The commands issued were not bad. After the Nightmare Leader suffered the two-pronged attack from the spotlight and the machine gun, it could only flee in utter confusion. Without their orders, the Nightmares very quickly broke the double-team formation, and started single-mindedly chase after Luo You.
Also, a team of survivors rushed over. Although they could not kill the Nightmares from a long distance with their traditional weapons, but they could significantly reduce the Nightmare’s pursuing speed, at once easing the pressure on Luo You.
Twenty seconds later, Luo You was only twenty meters away from the group of humans, the Nightmares were only forty meters away. This distance could be crossed by humans in six or seven seconds, while the Nightmares would require even less time to do so. They could tear into the humans in nearly the blink of an eye.
“Fuck! Their too close! Fall back!” The captain no longer wanted to take risks. They did all that they could, the rest would be up to the Evolver’s luck. He didn’t want his men to fight the Nightmares at close quarters.
One second after the retreat was issued, Luo You had finally merged with the survivors. He took a look at the desert eagle in his hand. It was still hot, yet not enough to affect the shooting.
Luo You suddenly plunged to the ground, executed an impeccable forward roll, turned around in a flash, locked onto the three nearest Nightmares in a negligible period of time, and once more fired three shots in succession.
One second, the three Nightmares were still roaring, the next second, their brains were blown out, releasing bright-colored bloody mist into the air. They have become three corpses.
After the three shots were fired, the desert eagle was once more overheated, and could no longer be used. However, there were still three Nightmares remaining, and they have already closed in. One could even distinctly see the saliva on the fangs in their spread open maws.
The captain turned his head around in panic, only to discover a Nightmare at his heels. The Nightmare’s sword-like fangs were swiftly approaching, about to bite off his head in less than half a second.
I’m sorry, I won’t be able to keep my promise, I won’t be coming back. The captain gripped a pendant with the picture of a family member on his chest with one hand, and unhesitatingly touched a grenade on his waist with the other hand…
The captain touched the safety pin of the grenade and a fierce glint erupted in his eyes. In any case, he was about to die at the Nightmare’s hands, might as well pull the other party along into the grave. He clenched his teeth so hard that he nearly broke them. Blood erupted in his throat, and he howled madly: “Don’t look down on humans! Monster!!”
Just as the captain was about to remove the safety pin and was about to perish along with the Nightmare, he suddenly felt his wrist being caught by something. In the nick of time, he only managed to see a silhouette with its head covered quietly arrive before him. Because the other party’s face was wrapped with bandages, he couldn’t clearly see the person’s face. He only managed to see the pair of abstruse rose-red eyes behind the bandages. The eyes were as beautiful as gems blessed by gods, yet in this battlefield reeking of blood, they even more resembled the ferocious eyes of a wolf. [1]
Practically in a flash, the Nightmare’s attack had arrived, and it had bit down. However, due to Luo You’s obstruction, the Nightmare hadn’t bitten the captain, but rather had bitten Luo You.
Although Luo You tried to dodge, avoiding his head being bitten off, yet the Nightmare still managed to bite at his shoulder. In a split second, the sounds of flesh being ripped off and bones being crushed lingered in the air. With the Nightmare’s bite force being five times that of a lion, it could even bite a mouthful off a chunk of iron, let alone the shoulder of a human.
Luo You was about to loose his shoulder, when he suddenly lifted the desert eagle in his other hand, whose overheated barrel was currently as scalding as a branding iron. Without saying any nonsense, Luo You pressed the barrel against the Nightmare’s eye.
Regardless of the creature, their eyes were always a weak point. Immediately after having its eye burned, the Nightmare shrieked and released the shoulder.
With a growl, Luo You dropped the desert eagle, and clenched his fist. In the next moment, his muscles suddenly bulged, and his skin became as hot as lava from the high-speed flow of blood. The destructive power gathered in a single point, and he hit the shrieking Nightmare
“Boom!” Under the captain’s stupefied gaze, the Nightmare’s head was burst open like a watermelon. Its headless body convulsed and slumped onto the ground.
Although the other two Nightmares attacked Luo You at the same time, but they also didn’t had a good ending. One was kicked in twain with a sweep of his leg and the other had its bloody heart blown away by more than a dozen meters with a punched to its chest.
From then on, the nine Nightmares were no longer. When everyone was still in shock from Luo You instakilling the three Nightmares, the person himself took advantage of the power in his body not having yet ebbed, and rushed towards the Nightmare Leader at a lightning-like speed.
Previously, the Nightmare Leader had half of its shoulder blasted into nothing by the Rail Gun Sniper Rifle as well as had suffered a two-pronged attack from the spotlight and the machine gun. It was currently extremely weak. It shrieked in fear as it tried to flee. However, alike a lamb crushed by a tank, it was blown apart by Luo You.
<Successfully killed the Nightmare Leader. Dynamic mission completed. Obtained one B-level reward point.> The Cube’s prompt reverberated inside Luo You’s mind;. It was as cold as ever, but this time it seemed to be unusually pleasing.
