Chapter 53 The Showdown of the Century?

Each of them had their own thoughts, running forward while dodging the pursuers in the sky.

No one noticed that the road under their feet was no longer the familiar road they had come from before.

When they were awakened by a series of strange rumbling and clattering sounds, they realized that they had lost their way.

But neither of them cared about how to find the way, but climbed up a hill beside the road, avoiding patrol bees, and crawled into the cracks in the ground to look at the location where the rumbling sound came from.

There are not many things that can make rumbling and clattering sounds, and there are even fewer in this strange nest.

The most likely one is a strange biochemical beast with lost weapons on its body, similar to the previous machine gun crab and fire spider.

Sure enough, the two looked in the direction of the sound and soon saw the appearance of the person who made the sound.

The machine gun crabs that made the clattering sound were not only the previous machine gun crabs, but also the large caterpillars with machine guns on their heads.

Those caterpillars were much smaller than the machine gun crabs, perhaps less than one meter thick, but five meters long.

It only has a machine gun in its mouth, but the caliber is probably above 7mm.

The 7mm caliber M2 Browning heavy machine gun of the US Army is nicknamed MaDeuce by the soldiers.

Translated into Chinese, it probably means the same as Lao Gan Ma, so M2 is often called Lao Gan Ma in the Chinese context.

So, those things are Lao Gan Ma caterpillars?

It sounds delicious...

The firepower of these Lao Gan Ma caterpillars is much stronger than the light machine gun of the machine gun crab, but their own defense is low, so most of them hide on the flanks.

And their caterpillar bodies can easily control the large recoil of the heavy machine gun while keeping the area facing the enemy to a minimum.

After all, caterpillars have a small cross-section.

And the rumbling sound came from the large grasshoppers.

The heads of these things, and even most of their bodies, have been transformed into artillery.

It is a relatively old-fashioned towed cannon.

And the calibers seem to be large and small.

But it seems that most of them are between 50mm, 75mm, and 88mm.

Probably corresponding to Pak38, Pak40, Pak43 and other old World War II guns.

I don't know whether the ghost only dug up these old guns, or the grasshopper ghost's body strength can only use them reluctantly.

Anyway, looking at those grasshoppers from a distance, it is better to say that they have a gun on the grasshopper's body than to say that grasshopper legs have grown on the gun body.

But if you look more closely, you will find that those guns are really mounted on the grasshopper's back.

The three pairs of insect legs of the large grasshopper can effectively control the recoil of the gun.

After a shot is fired, these things actually push out a new shell from the abdomen, and push the shell into the barrel of the gun as if mating under the push of the tail organ to complete the automatic loading.

It's really the same as a male grasshopper lying on a female grasshopper and filling her with something.

Looking at these ghosts of different forms and types using different weapons, Ruger suddenly found that they seemed to be quite particular.

What weapons were installed on the insects of different forms and structures after modification, or were they carefully designed?

Pak series is the abbreviation of the German Panzerabwehrkanone, which means anti-tank gun.

But perhaps because of the enemy type, these ghosts did not fire solid armor-piercing shells, but blooming grenades.

In this case, instead of calling them anti-tank guns or anti-tank guns, it is better to call them grasshopper cannons.

Just as Ruger used the mechanic's perspective to refer to and study these "advanced" design concepts, Tia next to him suddenly patted him.

"Brother Lu, look at them on the other side!"

On the other side?

Aren't the ghosts divided into two teams practicing fighting?

Ruger hurried over, my goodness, there is no other team of ghosts on the other side of the ghosts?

Those guys who were covered in dust by machine guns and artillery, but still staggered forward in the hail of bullets, weren't they the zombies that Ruger was most familiar with!

Sure enough, there are zombies at the end of every apocalypse!

There are zombies in the world of the lost!

No, wait, that's not right.

Ruger took a closer look and found that although the zombies were slightly different in color, their appearance and appearance were all the same as the dark zombies on the ground.

It's just that the zombies at the edge of the forest when he met Tia seemed to be red in the withered yellow.

And these guys, I don't know if they are too cold or what, are dark gray with green.

It's as if their blood has been poisoned into corpse poison green.

But, the monsters on the opposite side are not only these dark green zombies, but also teams of skeletons with withered yellow bones.

Unlike the unarmed zombies who only use claws, these skeletons actually hold rusty iron knives in one hand and broken wooden shields in the other, forming a formation to cover each other and charge in the artillery fire.

Well, machine guns and cannons roared, and the flames and fragments were the same color.

Is this actually a century-long duel between hot weapons and cold weapons?

It’s just that the hot weapons are various insects, while the cold weapons are the undead skeletons.

No, not just skeletons.

From time to time, some red-skinned dwarfs flashed in the monster group.

After being shot by machine guns, these red dwarfs will stand up again soon.

At the same time, fireballs are thrown from time to time in the monster camp and fly into the ghost array.

This is the fallen demon and the fallen magician.

And from the tolerance of those red-skinned dwarf fallen demons to bullets, it can be seen that they are not ordinary fallen demons, at least nightmare difficulty.

What's going on?

Could it be that the Ghost will lure out the nightmare monsters in the evil cave, lead them to the core nest dungeon deep in the maze, and then send heavy troops to kill them?

Is it planning to clear out the monsters guarding it in the evil cave bit by bit like cutting sausages?

But the monsters seem to have their own way of replenishing themselves, and it is not realistic to want to clear the cave by cutting sausages.

Moreover, there don't seem to be dark green zombies and skeleton warriors in the evil cave, right?

Where did they come from?

However, these guys are much weaker than the fallen demons.

But they are obviously stronger than ordinary fallen demons.

So, relying on the number that is not inferior to the Ghost, these guys are rapidly approaching the enemy under the artillery fire.

Although more than half of the men were lost along the way, when the two front lines began to contact, it seemed that the outcome was decided.

The meat shield machine gun crab in the front row, although it can withstand a fireball spell head-on, was quickly bitten into the gap between the shells under the attack of a large number of skeleton zombies.

Soon, it was hit in the nerve center and fell down with a bang.

Without the protection of the machine gun crab, the lack of flexibility of the Lao Gan Ma caterpillars on the flank was immediately exposed.

Even if they kept spraying bullets in front of their heads, the long and fleshy body was too big a target, and the opponent only needed to swing the weapon casually without worrying about missing.

After a while, these guys could only fall to the ground sadly.

The grasshopper cannons were smart. After noticing something was wrong, they immediately jumped back.

The firepower of those who were already at the back did not decrease at all.

Regardless of the fact that the monsters had already rushed to the caterpillar crabs, the grasshoppers still bombarded them wildly.

Ruger took a quick look and was afraid that a small half of the ghosts who did not have time to escape were killed by their own artillery fire.
