Chapter 233 Encountering Hellhound Again!
Collapse can happen in an instant.
The scarred man was the first to run.
He turned around faster than he fired a shot.
Then it's everyone.
Guns were scattered all over the ground, and they fled into the depths of the jungle like ants trying to escape.
Some people fell down, got up, and kept running.
Some people run until their pants fall down and they don't care.
Within thirty seconds, only Zhang Yan and Bai Hu remained on the open ground in front of them.
And there were AK-47s scattered all over the ground and several military boots that had been trampled off.
Zhang Yan did not pursue.
no need.
After these people go back, they will most likely call for reinforcements.
But by the time they brought him over, he was no longer there.
He patted the white tiger's front legs.
The white tiger lowered its head and let out a low, mechanical roar.
"Walk."
A man and a beast venture into the deeper jungles of the south.
Behind me, the glassy ravine reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight.
Like a silent warning.
It is etched on this land.
He took out his phone and started typing with one hand.
I sent Nie Qingcheng my first message of the day.
"morning."
Reply after three seconds.
Have you eaten?
"not yet."
"..."
"I ate a protein bar."
"That's not eating! Zhang Yan, if you keep doing this, I'm really angry!"
Zhang Yan looked at the string of exclamation marks on the screen and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
He put his phone away and continued walking.
The white tiger followed beside him, its silver-white mechanical body moving through the dense forest, its massive form crushing bushes and vines, producing a continuous cracking sound.
Its concealment is almost zero.
But in such deep, uninhabited areas, concealment is no longer the top priority.
Speed is the key.
The white tiger moved almost five times faster than Zhang Yan on foot.
He rode on the back armor of the white tiger, his body rising and falling slightly with the mechanical tiger's steps.
On the system's energy tracking interface, the dark red trail grew increasingly intense.
The direction has not changed.
Due south, slightly west.
The deeper you go, the denser the jungle becomes.
The layers of tree canopy overhead cut the sunlight into fragments, leaving only scattered spots of light on the ground.
The air was filled with a cloying, rotten smell.
It doesn't smell like rotting plants.
It's even stronger.
It smells even more pungent.
It looked like some living thing had rotted away in some corner.
The white tiger suddenly slowed its pace.
The mechanical tiger head turned slightly, and its two dark blue electronic eyes locked onto the eleven o'clock position ahead.
Zhang Yan's tactical watch simultaneously displayed a warning.
[An abnormal life form heat source has been detected.]
Quantity: 4.
Size: Large, shoulder height over 2 meters.
[Energy Trait: Clan of Ruins - Elite Type (Rank B)]
[Code name match: Hellhound.]
Four.
Zhang Yan's brow twitched slightly.
The underground area of the Golden Triangle is just a separate entity.
Four of them came here directly.
The density is increasing.
He flipped off the white tiger's back and landed, patting the white tiger's side neck armor.
"Come here."
The white tiger let out a low roar, and the high-frequency vibrating particles on its front paws lit up with pale blue arcs of light.
It did not wait for Zhang Yan to give a second instruction.
With its four mechanical legs exerting force, the silver-white figure shot into the bushes ahead like a bolt of lightning.
Almost simultaneously...
Four roars exploded from different directions.
Hellhound.
Three heads, with lava-like black shells, and dark red light flowing through the gaps.
The first one pounced out from the left, its three mouths opening simultaneously, and the middle head spewing out a flame exceeding a thousand degrees.
The white tiger dodged to the side.
The mechanical tiger's reaction speed far exceeded the limits of living beings—the moment the flames swept across the armor surface, its right forepaw had already struck the side of this hellhound.
The moment the high-frequency oscillating particle claws made contact with the carapace, a piercing high-frequency hiss echoed through the air.
The shell is broken down at the molecular level.
With a single swipe of its claws, the hellhound's entire right side of its body, from shoulder to hind leg, crumbled and peeled away like sand.
It didn't even have time to let out a second howl.
He collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The second and third attacked from the front and right sides almost simultaneously.
The White Tiger's combat program completed the optimal path calculation within 0.3 seconds.
It did not retreat.
Forward rush.
He charged straight at the one that was lunging at him head-on, and rammed it with his head.
The forehead armor of the mechanical tiger head is the thickest part of the entire mech.
The shockwave from the collision overturned all the bushes within a five-meter radius.
The hellhound's middle head was smashed, breaking its neck bone, and the whole beast rolled backward, crashing into two trees as thick as bowls.
The one on the right seized the opportunity and bit the white tiger's hind leg.
Three rows of fangs were embedded in the gaps in the armor.
The hydraulic system of the white tiger's right hind leg emitted a piercing alarm.
Zhang Yan stood twenty meters away, a line of red text flashing on his tactical watch.
[White Tiger - Right hind leg hydraulic line damaged, combat effectiveness reduced by 8%.]
He did not intervene.
The White Tiger does not need his intervention.
The mechanical tiger's tail stabilizer suddenly lashed out, like a steel whip striking the hellhound's head.
Snapped!
The sound of shells cracking echoed through the jungle.
The hellhound was sent flying, crashing into the roots of a large tree. It struggled for a moment but couldn't get up.
The white tiger turned around and delivered a follow-up blow with its particle claws.
It was completely quiet.
The fourth hellhound did not charge.
It crouched behind a fallen tree thirty meters away, its six dark red eyes fixed on the white tiger.
A low whimper escaped his lips.
It's not a protest.
It is fear.
It hesitated whether to escape.
The white tiger didn't give it time to hesitate.
Electromagnetic railgun.
Half-charged mode.
A thin, finger-like blue-white beam of light pierced through the thirty-meter distance and struck the middle of the hellhound's head.
The light pierced through the back of his head, burning through the fallen log behind him and leaving a half-meter-deep hole in the mud.
The fourth hellhound's body stiffened for a moment.
Then, slowly, it falls to one side.
The dark red light faded rapidly from the gaps in the carapace.
All four were wiped out.
Zhang Yan glanced at the watch.
[Battle duration: 47 seconds.]
[White Tiger - Energy Reserves: 71%]
[The hydraulic lines in the right hind leg are damaged, impacting combat effectiveness by 8%. Post-battle repair is recommended.]
Seventy-one.
He did a quick mental calculation.
Since departing from the Golden Triangle, the electromagnetic railgun has been fired twice—once as a warning shot against the Myanmar armed forces, and once just now as a partially charged shot.
In addition, there is the continuous consumption of the particle claw and the energy consumption during travel.
If there are more tough battles to come, energy will be a problem.
He walked to the corpse of the hellhound and took out the disc of the Heart of the Gods from his backpack.
Blue light enveloped the corpse, and the remaining primordial energy was drawn away and absorbed.
All four together.
[Heart of the Celestial Craftsman Fragment Energy Reserve: +4.7%]
better than nothing.
Zhang Yan put away the disc, walked to the white tiger, and squatted down to examine the injury to its right hind leg.
There is a deep tooth mark on the outer wall of the hydraulic pipe, and the pipe wall is dented but not penetrated.
It won't affect your movement, but it might cause problems in high-intensity combat.
He took out a tube of emergency nano-repair gel from his backpack and applied it evenly along the dent.
The repair adhesive begins to cure spontaneously the moment it comes into contact with the armor, filling the cracks.
It's not a permanent fix, but it will last for a while.
[The hydraulic lines on the right hind leg have been temporarily repaired, reducing the impact on combat effectiveness to 3%.]
