Because they all know that this seemingly slender animal is actually an extremely ferocious predator.
These soldiers had personally witnessed a lion being easily hunted and dismembered by these ten animals.
In fact, this was a super-powerful predator that should never have appeared in this era.
These are dinosaurs, and the most intelligent of all, named Velociraptor, a species of dinosaur, which lived during the Late Cretaceous period.
That is, the prototype of the Velociraptor in various film and television works.
However, the hairless Velociraptors depicted in movies and TV shows do not exist in the Cretaceous period of the Red Alert universe, which is based on the real world.
All that could be seen were these strangely shaped Velociraptors or other Deinonychus.
However, in terms of strength, these Velociraptors were in no way inferior to the Velociraptors depicted in movies and TV shows.
In the midst of this slightly awkward atmosphere, a strange clapping sound came from ahead.
However, Vito now possessed a strange device, from which the voice emanated.
Upon hearing the sound, the ten Velociraptors all raised their heads and ran towards Vito, lining up in front of him.
"My darlings are so good, come and smell this!" Vito looked at the ten Velociraptors, feeling a little nervous, but he managed to control himself and took a piece of clothing from the car.
This garment was taken from Hugh Jones's room and hadn't been washed.
"Go! Find him!" After the ten Velociraptors each sniffed the clothes, Vito issued the command again, making a strange gurgling sound with the device in his hand.
So the ten bandits darted off in different directions without looking back.
Clearly, these Velociraptors had been specially tamed, and the person who tamed them was none other than Yuri.
The reason for using this creature was that Yuri had already tested it and found that the Velociraptor's sense of smell, hearing, and intelligence completely surpassed all canines and various later mammals.
The only drawback is that, just like in the movies, they are too ferocious and have a huge appetite.
However, for people like Yuri and Josie, these shortcomings are not shortcomings at all, as long as they can be controlled.
Chapter 122 What a Trash Vampire
"Chirp chirp chirp~" The Velociraptor swiftly darted through the dense forest, occasionally letting out strange cries to keep in touch with its companions.
Under normal circumstances, the Cretaceous Velociraptor would not have been suited to the modern natural environment, especially the cold winter climate of Europe.
However, these Velociraptors were also modified while being domesticated by Yuri. Although they were not yet able to withstand some extremely harsh environments, ordinary climates could no longer affect them.
As they searched in unison, their radio transmitters continuously sent their location to Vito behind them.
"Let's go!" Vito immediately realized that the Velociraptor had been spotted when he saw the ten red dots on the miniature radar display device in his hand converge in one direction. He then led the team toward the Velociraptor's location.
But halfway there, Vito discovered that the Velociraptors had gathered in one spot and were not moving.
When they arrived, they saw that the Velociraptor was located in the ancient abandoned town of Winsberg—after all, it had been abandoned in the 1830s, and considering the time when the town was built, it could barely be considered ancient now.
Ten Velociraptors were hesitating outside the town, but dared not step into it.
"It seems there really is something special hidden in this town!" Vito couldn't help but ponder as he watched the Velociraptor's actions.
Since the Velociraptor stopped in front of the town, it means that Hugh Jones must be in the town.
The Velociraptors are clearly afraid of something that prevents them from entering the town.
Animals have senses that humans cannot match. The fact that even a ferocious Velociraptor could feel fear in this town is enough to show that something terrifying is indeed hidden there.
Why did Colonel Ward find nothing when he sent troops to search at first, but then Hugh Jones and his men disappeared when they arrived?
"Go in!" Vito glanced at the Velociraptor, took out the controller, and forcibly commanded the Velociraptor to enter the town.
"Chirp chirp chirp!" Faced with Vito's control, the highly intelligent Velociraptor was obviously very unwilling, but Yuri's technology was also exceptionally reliable. Even if this ferocious animal was unwilling, it could only obediently step into the town.
"Let's follow!" Vito ordered the action team, watching the Velociraptor move cautiously forward. The fifty men were divided into three teams, front, middle and rear, and slowly followed the Velociraptor into the town in tactical squads.
"Stop!" Vito gave the order to halt shortly after entering the town.
The reason is simple: he felt threatened.
Perhaps it was due to incomplete genetic modification in its early stages, or perhaps it was a side effect of using dinosaur-enhancing drugs.
Vito's intuition is now extremely sharp.
He didn't feel anything was wrong outside the town, but as soon as he entered the town, he sensed something was amiss.
The entire town felt utterly lifeless; there were no birdsongs, and no names of insects.
Looking at the abandoned town overgrown with weeds, this was clearly very abnormal.
"Go in here, get to the source of the threat. First team, follow. The rest of you keep watch outside!" Vito ordered a Velociraptor to go inside a half-open house by the roadside while giving the order to the action team.
This is a quaint medieval stone building.
It is evident that this town must have been very prosperous and wealthy. Apart from a few houses that are now just ruins, the entire town is almost entirely made of stone, so even after two hundred years, it is still extremely well preserved.
The Velociraptor snorted angrily and flicked its tail, but still managed to break open the completely rotten wooden door and enter the house.
Vito led the first team and followed them in first.
The building is not very large, and the facilities inside are quite old and dilapidated, indicating that no one has lived here for a long time.
Led by the Velociraptor, Vito and his party soon arrived at a door.
Upon seeing the door, Vito immediately realized something was wrong.
If he wasn't mistaken, the location of this door appeared to be a cellar.
However, compared to the dilapidated furnishings seen in the previous house, the cellar door in front of them looked very new.
Without hesitation, Vito made a few tactical hand gestures, and immediately an action team member stepped forward to check.
"Sir, it's locked from the inside; it's probably one of those old-fashioned wooden latches," the team member reported after inspecting the lock.
"Locked from the inside?" Vito narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. "Open it!"
Upon hearing the order, the team member immediately swung his left arm and slammed it down hard on the wooden door.
The right arm of the Magnetic Storm Infantry Suit houses the main weapon, the electromagnetic launcher, while the left arm is empty but has an extremely hard metal wrist guard. It might not be able to break through something too heavy, but it can easily withstand a simple wooden door.
As the wooden door shattered, a deep, downward passage appeared before Vito and his party, emanating a chilling aura.
Meanwhile, the Velociraptor on the side became increasingly agitated.
Vito was right; it was a cellar.
"You two, go in and take a look!" This time, Vito didn't force the Velociraptor, but instead selected two team members.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two soldiers turned on the searchlights on their combat suits and walked down one after the other.
"Sir, I think you'd better come in and take a look!" The cellar wasn't deep, and soon two team members shouted from below.
Upon hearing that his teammates were safe and sound, Vito also went downstairs.
The cellar wasn't large, but the things inside were very strange.
Two wooden coffins.
They really are vampires! Upon seeing the two coffins and recalling the possible habits of vampires that Josie had told him about, Vito's heart immediately tightened.
"Sir, what do we do?" a team member asked, his voice hoarse. They had also received instructions before setting off.
After all, if they really are vampires, then giving them some psychological preparation will prevent them from being at a loss when they actually encounter a situation, thus avoiding unnecessary casualties.
"Go open the coffin. Take aim. If anything inside reacts, fire immediately!" Vito pointed to one of the coffins and gave instructions to his two teammates, while simultaneously raising the electromagnetic transmitter on his right arm.
Upon receiving Vito's order, one of the soldiers immediately stepped forward cautiously and opened one of the coffin lids.
As the coffin lid opened, a fresh male corpse dressed in 19th-century Rococo clothing, appearing as if he had only been dead for a few days, appeared before the three.
Before Vito and his companions could examine the corpse closely, it suddenly opened its eyes, covered its face, screamed, and turned into ashes.
Perhaps because of the death of their companion, the coffin next to them was opened from the inside, and a woman dressed in the same period crawled out. But then, there was another scream, and the woman was as if she had been burned, and she turned into ashes with a scream.
…………
Vito and the other two fell silent instantly.
It seems that the corpses in those two coffins were indeed the legendary vampires.
But why is it so bad?
They didn't do anything, so how did they just disappear?
In other words, the two vampires were already dead, and they shouted, "You bastards, if you're so capable, turn off the lights on your heads before you say that!"
That's right, the reason why the two vampires couldn't even utter a harsh word before turning to dust is quite simple: the searchlights on Vito and his companions' Magnetic Storm Infantry suits, while looking like ordinary streetlights, actually contained ultraviolet light...
Ultraviolet light is portrayed as the nemesis of vampires in almost every film and television production—at least for most ordinary vampires.
And the two unfortunate vampires proved this point.
"Sir, there's something going on! There's something in those houses!" Just as Vito and his two companions fell into an eerie silence, the shouts of the team members remaining outside came through the radio.
Chapter 123 Dame Ellen Nosferatu
Perhaps Vito and his companions inexplicably killed two dormant vampires, triggering a chain reaction.
When they came out of the small building, just as the team members who stayed behind had reported, the once quiet town suddenly became restless, and there were faint figures moving about in the surrounding buildings.
