Chapter 655
Anyone in Ice Ring can tell me.
Is this really an earth creature?
The moment he saw this scene, this was the thought that flashed in Ronald's mind.
The creature that attacked the two people below had a crystal-clear and sharp-edged appearance. The nearly one meter long body, both the trunk and the limbs, are made of this pure ice-like object.
There is even a red, core-like sphere at the core of the thing's torso.
The first thing anyone sees of this guy.
Everyone will realize that this is not a creature bred in nature, but more like a monster encountered in an adventure in a fantasy game.
That's under everyone's gaze.
This monster used its sharp ice-like limbs to forcefully plunge into the center of the body of the person below.
Snap -
the sound of impact resounded on the ice wall, accompanied by bright red blood spraying out. This member of the expedition team, who was wearing a lot of equipment, was knocked against the ice on the side with huge force.
This monster attacks with a very small sound but extremely fast speed.
The attacker had no time to react and was already pinned to the spot motionless.
——Look at the team above.
Even the mercenary Ered, who was at the forefront and had the fastest reaction, had just drawn out his gun, and he didn't even point his gun at the monster.
And seeing the location of the wound and the person's reaction...
common sense has already made a judgment - this person is probably hopeless.
At this moment, the crisis situation is becoming more and more urgent.
Looking up from the ice, there is a herd of blue beasts chasing from outside; looking below the ice, there is only one strange creature in number, but it is equally ruthless and dangerous.
There are dangers both above and below.
Being stuck in this isolated and helpless position, unable to get up or down, it is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky to leave safely!
Bang bang bang -
At this time, Aerion took out his gun and started shooting at the ice-like creature below.
The bullets arrived at a distance that was not too far away in an instant.
The bullet hit the monster, and the hard bullet instantly shattered the thing's body, then scattered and exploded like ice crystals.
Finally, it brought along the human corpse that was nailed to the ice crystal. The two corpses drew long blood marks together, and then fell deeper into the ice.
"Angel..."
At the same time, unwilling and panicked shouts came from the communication.
It was with this cry that Ronald confirmed that the member of the expedition team named Angel who was attacked and killed by this ice crystal creature, and that the person who survived the crisis situation just now was another member named De Rath man.
However, facing the consequences of these few shots of his own.
Erin's current mood has become extremely bad.
Whether it was his duty as a mercenary to protect these people, or the promise he had just made when he led the team safely out of the base, they all failed in the face of cold and ruthless facts.
What's more...
even if he managed to lead a few people to escape from this environment today.
But when he comes to the outside world, Aired, who has seriously neglected his duties, will definitely not have any good results whether he faces his own parent company or the company that issued the employment application.
After all, he is a contracted mercenary.
He survived, but the person he was protecting died miserably.
"Tsk..."
Erin couldn't help but smacked her lips.
After adjusting his mentality a little, he began to adjust the pulley to continue downward, approaching the position of the last survivor, Delat.
Suddenly encountered this situation.
Moreover, his companion who had been working together before died tragically in front of him.
It takes almost no thought.
Aerion was sure that Delat might not be able to control the tool by himself now, so he returned to the top.
But that's it.
Ered realized again that the current situation was more troublesome than he thought.
As he was descending, the 'chacha' sound amplified by the pickup headphones appeared again. Erin turned her head and shined the light above her head further down the ice cave.
Brush -
light cast.
Erin saw the ice crystal creature that had been shot down just now. It had somehow recovered its body, and then climbed up again!
And this time it was different from the simple stealth hunting before.
Because this thing was damaged by the gunshot, its movements became obviously more violent, and its crawling speed on the ice wall increased a lot!
The scene below was also seen by the team members above.
As a person with a unique source of information, Ronald was once again aware of the current situation.
——This is definitely a life test of the original trial!
If you don't find a way to survive now, being massacred by this thing in the future is almost a certain outcome.
Raising his head slightly, Ronald's eyes immediately fell on the circular ice path on the upper level.
This tunnel in the ice built around the entire huge glacial lake is definitely the only chance of survival at the moment - we must seize the opportunity!
"Let's go, run up!"
Ronald didn't even hesitate for a second.
While calling out to several team members, he immediately headed towards the ice ring.
With the help of the rope pulleys set up in advance, their ascending speed was not too slow. They quickly passed a turn and entered the inside of the ice ring structure here.
——Except for Ronald and the others.
——There are other light sources in the ice ring here.
Naturally, the previous explorers did not miss such an obvious place, so they inserted special long-lasting fluorescent lights on the ice ring wall at regular intervals.
Although it won't illuminate this place completely.
However, given the original ice structure, this kind of lighting will not completely make it difficult to see the road.
Bang - Bang -
"No!"
At this time, two more gunshots came from the tunnel under the ice behind him, followed closely by Delat's horrified cry in the communication.
"Ah——"
almost the next moment.
Delat's painful wails filled with despair sounded over the communication.
His voice alone in the cold communication reflected the despair of this situation.
Waited a few more seconds.
Only then did Erin's breathing sound resound through the communication:
"This thing can't be killed with a gun!"
"You guys go away, I'll blow this place up!"
Ronald and the others looked at each other.
The situation at this moment really did not allow them to hesitate any longer, so they had no choice but to turn around and continue walking deeper into the environmental ice ring.
Boom -
not long after, a violent explosion sounded behind him.
Irene didn't know what kind of explosives were used. They could even feel the vibration of the ice in this position!
"..."
Another period of time passed.
Erin trotted to catch up with the fleeing team.
The mercenary didn't even bother to put on a bad disguise at this moment. He said with a downcast face, "
No, I really don't have time to save him."
"As long as that thing comes into contact with the ice, it seems that it can be repaired with ice cubes. With my broken body, a simple gun is completely useless!"
