Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Flee in Panic_1

Bang bang bang!

Chen Dalong and his men were the first to pull their triggers, bullets racing out one after another.

In an almost face-to-face situation, even though the flight speed of these bats was fast, it was still hard for them to completely dodge the bullets.

But after only a few shots, Chen Dalong frustratingly found that even though he could hit these Mutated Bats, most of his shots hit their wings.

The bullets passing through their wings could only injure them, not kill them.

On the other hand, those armed with cold weapons, especially those wielding large knives, if they struck, generally incapacitated or killed with a single slash.

Seeing this, Chen Dalong could only draw his military dagger and switch to attacking with cold weapons, after all, ammunition was limited and had to be conserved.

Li Huosheng and a few others followed suit immediately.

The swarm of Mutated Bats kept taking casualties, but Chen Dalong’s subordinates couldn’t possibly come out unscathed.

Although they were fully armed, with bulletproof vests and helmets, the problem was that this gear did not protect their entire bodies.

For example, arms and thighs, although there were arm guards and knee pads, these couldn’t possibly cover every part.

After these Mutated Bats flew close, they could easily shred the camouflage suits with a swipe of their claws, and if they attacked the arms or thighs, they could slice open flesh, leaving behind long, bloody wounds.

But ultimately, it was the security company that had the advantage.

After a fierce battle of three minutes, about thirty Mutated Bats were killed, losing about one-third of their number.

The security company also had ten injured, with seven sustaining minor injuries, and three with more severe wounds. However, none had lost their combat ability; after bandaging with hemostatic bandages, they still had the strength to fight.

Just when everyone thought victory was in their grasp, suddenly a member cried out, “Look to the front right, such a huge bat!”

Hearing this, everyone looked in that direction as if by agreement.

Then they watched in horror as a giant bat with a wingspan of about 5 meters rapidly swooped toward them.

This bat was not only huge but also extremely agile, moving effortlessly through the trees and closing in rapidly.

“Fire!” Even the experienced Chen Dalong felt a pang of fear in his heart and hurriedly shouted.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Immediately, the sound of gunfire rang out, the five with firearms unanimously shifted their target.

But the Mutated Bat flew too fast; with the marksmanship of the men, most bullets missed, and the ones that hit, at most, struck its wings, not causing much damage.

And the Mutated Bat had been discovered only when it was within 50 meters, nearly halving the distance in the blink of an eye.

Watching as this Bat King was about to plunge into the crowd…

Qin Fang, the best shooter in the team, took a deep breath, stepped forward, stopped shooting blindly, and instead, aimed his gun, holding his breath to concentrate.

Finally, as the giant Mutated Bat flew within 5 meters, at the very instant it changed direction and there was a brief pause, he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A crisp gunshot sounded, and at the same moment, a burst of blood erupted from the bat’s abdomen, and the Mutated Bat let out a painful screech.

It was a hit!

Joy appeared on everyone’s faces.

But the next instant their expressions froze, although the Bat King was hit and seemed seriously injured, it was far from losing its fighting ability, and that shot seemed to have provoked its ferocity even more.

After a brief stagnation, it lunged even more fiercely toward them.

Before anyone could react, the Bat King extended its sharp claws and reached out to grab Qin Fang, who had dared to shoot at it.

“Ah!”

Qin Fang let out a painful scream.

The hunting shotgun he had been holding was snatched away, but more importantly, his right camouflage sleeve was shredded into ribbons, revealing the bloody arm beneath.

“Kill!”

Chen Dalong was the first to react, roaring as he raised his gun to shoot.

In the wake of his roar, the others quickly came to their senses and began pulling their triggers frantically as well.

But their brief moment of stupefaction, or rather the instant they were frozen in fear, had already cost them the best opportunity to kill the Bat King.

After striking a blow, the Bat King didn’t linger at all and swiftly flew into the sky with the hunting shotgun in its grasp.

Watching the Bat King circle in the sky, the expressions on everyone’s faces were extremely grim.

But to their relief, the Bat King showed no intention of continuing its attack.

And the Mutated Bats that had been circling around them also began to retreat, gathering around the Bat King.

“Are they retreating?” someone asked in a low voice.

“It seems so! After all, the Bat King was hit by bullets. Although it didn’t die, I reckon the injury is not light,” someone else chimed in.

“Stop chattering, damn it. Get the hemostatic gel and the bandage quickly,” Chen Dalong scolded in a low voice.

Seeing their leader get angry, the group snapped out of it. Someone hurriedly passed over the hemostatic gel they were carrying; Chen Dalong hurriedly took it and swiftly applied it to Qin Fang’s wounds.

“Are you all dead? Where’s the bandage? Hurry up and wrap it,” Chen Dalong cursed when he had finished applying the gel and the bandage had still not been passed to him.

However, after his curse, there was still no movement from those around him, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

He quickly looked up and the next instant, his eyes widened and his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.

A Mutated Buffalo the size of a truck was slowly approaching them.

With every step it took, the ground would tremble slightly, and the horrendous sense of oppression was almost suffocating.

“Guns, guns, shoot!” At that moment, even Chen Dalong felt his voice shaking.

Li Huosheng, Zhang Chenggang, and Zhao Rong, who still had guns, hurriedly raised their weapons and desperately pulled the triggers.

Such a large Mutated Buffalo, even if their marksmanship was poor, would be hard to miss.

But to everyone’s surprise, the regular bullets that hit the creature only barely pierced its hide, with hardly any blood seen, and the bullets were squeezed out by its muscles.

Even armor-piercing bullets, designed to take down large Mutated Beings, though able to create thumb-sized holes, clearly didn’t inflict a fatal wound.

This only enraged the Mutated Buffalo, which lowered its head to show its hard horns and then began to charge.

In this moment, the Mutated Buffalo was like a full-powered bulldozer.

As it charged, trees fell, and with the force of an avalanche, it rushed towards the group.

Seeing this, everyone finally collapsed.

With Mutated Beings that could withstand bullets appearing, how were they supposed to fight?

Someone shouted, “Run!” and the formation instantly collapsed. All of them fled in panic.
