Chapter 136: Chapter 124 Narrative Cage (14)Launching the first wave of attacks were over twenty hyaenas, wolves, leopards... These bio-weapon-infected animals were less like wild beasts and more like specialized biological weapons.
Their original sharp fangs and claws were replaced with serrated blades, their hearts swapped out for high-torque miniature engines, providing a continuous supply of power to their bodies.
Hydraulic and linkage structures at their joints significantly increased their strength and jumping capabilities. Mechanical eyes in their sockets could clearly lock onto fast-moving hostile targets even in dim and chaotic environments.
Above their spines, they were also equipped with rotary machine guns or other heavy firepower.
Clatter clatter clatter clatter—
The infected leaped back and forth across the airship’s inner walls, at dizzying speeds, using their claws and teeth to carve open Zeluo soldiers’ power armor, and then swung their tails into the gaps at the armor’s seams.
Blood splattered, screams echoed throughout the airship, injured soldiers instinctively fired blindly, and bullets from gauss rifles flew erratically, puncturing holes in the inner walls.
The first wave of the attack was just an appetizer; looking through the windows, one could see several large infected Winged Dragons with bodies comparable to fighter jets, flying in close formation right next to the transport plane.
Cling clang!
The Winged Dragon infected opened panels on the underbelly, revealing smoothbore cannon barrels firing more steel spikes towards the transport. All the spikes, like delivery tubes, deployed more small infected, further escalating the chaos.
Li Cheng drew his 170 Straight Blade, holding it vertically in front to block stray bullets, calmly observing the interior of the airship,
"Button... button..."
Gray Rain, searching for the red engine room button, passed through the airship, choosing not to involve himself in the battle between the two sides, only striking when necessary with cold weapons hung on the walls to cut down infected, all the while avoiding getting splashed by their black blood.
Boom!
Another loud noise came from outside the airship, the third engine failing and emitting billowing black smoke, as the entire plane began to shake and lurch violently.
If the fourth engine were also destroyed, then crashing would be the only outcome.
"Hold on tight!"
The soldier in the red helmet shouted, pulled a lever with a warning label inside the airship, and the tail of the transport opened in response.
Gales screeched violently, some unsteady Iron Plague beasts were swept away by the strong winds, vanishing into the misty clouds.
The red helmet unhooked a steel cable for loading and unloading cargo, hooked it to his belt, then picked up a laser sniper rifle, resolved to charge out of the airship, braving the high-altitude strong winds and climbing up along the exterior of the plane.
Finally finding a suitable position, he took aim at a massive Winged Dragon and fired.
The muzzle emitted a beam of high-energy laser, piercing through the Winged Dragon’s tail. Compared to its massive body, it was like poking a small hole in a piece of paper with a needle.
