Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution
Chapter 485 Scarab
"Bian Canming, calm down!"
Balf, standing on the flank, noticed the player's panic, frowned, and lowered his voice:
"Take a deep breath! This is the worst thing you can do on the battlefield. The more tense you are, the stiffer your muscles become, and the slower your reactions will be! If an emergency occurs, you won't be able to react in time, and you might even accidentally fire and injure your teammates!"
Upon hearing this, Bian Canming swallowed hard and nodded mechanically.
He forced himself to take a few deep breaths, but his shifty eyes still betrayed his inner fear.
After reminding Bian Canming, Balf's gaze unconsciously fell on Lin Hui at the back of the group.
He could sense that Lin Hui's body was in a state of perfect relaxation, a composure that only battle-hardened veterans possess.
"He's a tough guy," Balf thought to himself.
Lin Hui was unaware that Balf was comparing him to Bian Canming, and the image of Jiang Qingyan involuntarily came to mind.
If Jiang Qingyan were here, with her [Reconnaissance] skill activated, every rustle of grass within a 20-kilometer radius would be as clear as if she had a full map cheat.
Unlike now, running around aimlessly like a headless fly.
This ruined city, named "Doron," covers an area of approximately 150 square kilometers.
What does this mean?
This is equivalent to the area inside Xiamen Island!
The area isn't large, but finding a person in this pile of ruins isn't easy.
……
Ten minutes passed.
Lin Hui and his group discovered a new clue at the corner of a dilapidated commercial street.
"Stop!" Female soldier Jessica suddenly raised her left hand and clenched her fist.
Everyone immediately raised their weapons and followed her gaze.
In the middle of the street ahead, two more corpses dressed in pure white lay sprawled.
However, what is truly chilling is that at this moment, two giant mutated rats, each the size of a calf, are frantically gnawing on the corpse!
On a planet ravaged by war for a century, countless deformed monsters have emerged from the wilderness. These include giant mutant rats, carrion bats, face-eating worms…
While they may not be as terrifying as the mechanical Eldar, they are still a nightmare for civilians and ordinary soldiers.
"squeak!"
Sensing the approach of humans, the two giant mutated rats suddenly raised their heads, letting out piercing hisss from their blood-soaked mouths. Instead of fleeing, they grabbed the corpse's collar and tried to drag their prey into the ruins.
"brute!"
Balf and Jessica exchanged a cold glance.
The two did not use firearms to avoid revealing their position.
He exchanged a glance with Jessica and simultaneously drew his power sword from his waist.
"laugh!"
A dark blue energy field instantly covered the sword blade.
The two strode out, two streaks of blue light flashing and intersecting in the air.
"Pfft!"
The enormous rat head shot skyward, spraying foul-smelling blood all over the ground.
"Alert the surrounding area!"
Balf flicked the blood off his sword, quickly walked to the two corpses, examined them, and his expression turned grim: "They've been dead for no more than ten minutes!"
Lin Hui stepped forward, his gaze slightly narrowed.
According to the intelligence in the previous mission briefing, the church team that needed to be rescued consisted of six combat nuns and eleven low-combat-power civilian staff and missionaries, for a total of seventeen people.
Now, after searching for less than ten minutes, they have already discovered the bodies of four civilian employees.
"Just bury the bodies properly, don't let the mutated beasts devour them," Balf whispered.
Bian Canming quickly stepped forward to help. His ability was [Spiritual Technique - Mud Swamp], which was perfect for burying the corpse.
Balf gripped his weapon tightly and said in a deep voice:
"The fact that there are recently deceased civilian employees here proves we're on the right track!"
The team continued its advance.
They had just walked past an abandoned fountain square.
Jessica, the female soldier on the flank, suddenly changed her expression and shouted urgently, "Find cover! Quickly!"
"My helmet detected an abnormal signal; an enemy is rapidly approaching!"
Upon hearing Balf's warning, everyone felt a chill and immediately sought out nearby collapsed stone pillars to take cover.
"Where...where is the enemy...?"
Bian Canming's teeth were chattering.
however.
Just as Bian Canming was focusing all his attention on what was in front of him, he didn't notice at all that, in the shadow of the wall behind him, a dark silver mechanical beetle the size of a washbasin was silently approaching him along the wall.
This thing has an extremely ferocious appearance, with eight mechanical limbs ending in sharp, disintegrating claws that flash with high-frequency vibrations.
"Click..."
A very faint metallic scraping sound finally caught Bian Canming's attention.
He suddenly turned his head!
In their field of vision, the mechanical beetle had already launched itself into the air!
"hiss--!"
With a hiss, the mechanical beetle opened its pair of scissor-like claws in mid-air and lunged straight at Bian Canming's face!
Bian Canming's pupils suddenly contracted, and his mind went completely blank for a moment.
He instinctively wanted to raise his explosive pistol and fire, but the mechanical beetle was too fast and was less than ten centimeters away from him.
Bian Canming closed his eyes in despair.
These mechanical creatures are called Scarabs, and they are mechanical servants of the Mechanical Eldar used specifically to clean up battlefields.
Those claws, imbued with a disintegrating force field, can instantly shred a large chunk of flesh into blood by merely scratching the skin.
"I'm going to die..." These were the last thoughts that flashed through Bian Canming's mind.
but.
The expected excruciating pain did not come.
But then a piercing metallic cracking sound was heard!
Bian Canming suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with horror.
A tall and slender figure appeared beside him at some point.
The scarab beetle, which was less than ten centimeters from his face, was now being forcefully slammed to the ground by an axe!
"boom!"
The ground was instantly smashed into a deep crater.
The scarab beetle, whose shell was so hard to penetrate even with ordinary firearms... had now turned into a pile of unrecognizable metal fragments, bursting into sparks, and was completely destroyed.
Bian Canming stared blankly at the pile of metal slag on the ground, then struggled to lift his head and look at Lin Hui beside him, whose expression was indifferent. His eyes were filled with gratitude and awe at surviving the ordeal.
"Thank...thank you, boss." Bian Canming stammered his thanks.
Lin Hui sheathed his axe-gun, casually patted Bian Canming on the shoulder, and stared straight ahead, saying calmly:
"Don't thank me yet."
"Grip your weapon tighter... There's more stuff now!"
The moment the words fell.
"Shh... hiss..."
Countless scarabs, their eerie green compound eyes gleaming, surged out from every dark corner, instantly surrounding their five-person team!
