Chapter 29 Omens of the Beast Tide
"Special individual spotted! Special individual spotted!" The fourth group was relatively closer to the herd, or rather, closer to the location of the deer leader.
"Special individuals? Can we assess their performance capabilities?" Captain Su frowned and asked quickly.
"The other party is over three meters tall, so it's impossible to determine if they have any supernatural abilities."
"Support aircraft, support four groups, and if necessary, conduct concentrated fire strikes directly against special targets! Operation commence!"
Captain Su gritted his teeth. Things had come to this point; once the deer herd started running wildly, their ground forces would have no chance of stopping them.
For the sake of the base's food supplies and the lives of his soldiers, an attack must be launched immediately!
At Captain Su's command, the soldiers who had been hiding on the ground quickly got up and launched an attack.
They charged and fired their guns simultaneously.
Because of their improved physical fitness, this behavior is no longer a problem for them.
In the air, four planes also began to fire, but the two soldiers in the back seats of the planes did not rush to move, and both stared at the leader of the beast horde.
On the ground, a figure switched to a melee weapon after rushing a distance.
In a single instant of contact, the throat of a deer was swiftly severed.
Immediately afterwards, he dashed into the herd of deer, making it impossible for his teammates behind him to see his position.
Brush brush!
Having escaped the soldiers' sight, Wu Ou abandoned his disguise and unleashed his claws to kill the deer.
This rapid killing naturally attracted the attention of the strong "guards" in the deer herd.
After a neigh, it rushed towards where Wu Ou was.
These "guard" deer are all around level seven or eight in strength.
Compared to deer that are generally below level five, their strength is indeed formidable.
However, compared to Wu Ou, who is already close to the mid-level of the first tier, they are no different from those low-level deer.
With a leap, Wu Ou quickly passed by him, and after landing, he slid forward using his momentum.
The guard deer collided with another deer, fell to the ground, and died.
"Yo—!"
The deer leader also discovered that his people were being rapidly slaughtered, surrounded by enemies on all sides, who were clearly there to wipe out their herd!
Tap tap, tap tap, tap tap!
Powerful footsteps echoed as the deer leader charged toward Wu Ou's location, for he was now the closest 'enemy'.
Tap tap tap tap tap!
In the air, all four planes opened fire simultaneously, with the soldiers in the back seats firing their weapons with pinpoint accuracy.
However, they discovered that their weapons were being blocked by an invisible barrier!
It emanated from the antlers of the deer leader; it was unclear whether it was an energy barrier or a force field barrier, but in any case, it blocked all their attacks.
The current leader of the deer herd is like a runaway truck, carrying an indestructible shield in front of it, smashing everything in its path!
"Good timing!"
Wu Ou watched the charging deer leader, a hint of excitement flashing across his lips.
The past ten days of reading and living as a "tool" have almost rusted his body.
Energy surged, blood boiled, nerves raced to transmit information, and even the eyes changed, as if everything before them had slowed down.
He had already seen the movement pattern of the deer herd leader!
brush!
Slide aside from the side, then rush into its abdomen from the side.
Then, with a thrust of his waist, he hung on it as his claws pierced its abdomen.
Yes, the deer leader's shield only forms an egg-shaped shield in front of his body, not a full-body shield!
The abdomen, even for animals like deer whose physical attributes have been enhanced by the nourishment of source energy, is a place with very weak defenses.
"Besides, I haven't just been doing manual labor in the lab these past few days!"
Unlike others, he can retain the excess metal material after 'consuming' it into his body.
In addition, he also studied alloy formulas and some firearm structures.
After the claws successfully pierced its body, the finger parts quickly deformed, turning into the shape of a gun barrel along with the finger bones.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Using his supernatural abilities, he manipulated metal particles into bullets, which he fired at his abdomen!
The internal organs were damaged, and the intense pain caused the deer leader to let out a mournful cry.
His legs gave way and he fell to the ground, sliding forward a short distance due to inertia.
The four groups of guards on the ground were incredulous as they watched the deer leader fall to the ground not far in front of them.
Tap tap tap tap tap!
For safety's sake, the group chose to focus their fire.
Seeing the bullets land on the deer leader instead of being blocked like the aerial attacks earlier, they couldn't help but show expressions of surprise and delight.
This means that the herd leader has lost enough power to maintain that special ability!
The team leader gave a tactical hand signal, and all the team members quickly split into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, to surround the deer leader.
Wu Ou, using the deer leader's body as cover, cut open its abdomen and found the source energy crystal.
After swallowing it in one gulp, control the source energy within, and quickly circulate it through the internal organs, muscles, and bones to complete a simple strengthening and restoration of the body's source energy.
The remaining energy was channeled into the spine, near the crystal of his own power, forming an energy layer to await slow absorption.
After doing all this, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and lay down on the snow, not moving at all except for panting.
"There's someone here!"
"Is this from our group?"
"It is... but it doesn't seem so..."
Wu Ou was quickly discovered by the guards who came up to investigate, but by then he had removed his facial disguise and revealed his true appearance, so his identity was not recognized immediately.
But the guards were certain that Wu Ou was wearing the uniform of their team members on this mission.
After being lifted from the ground, Wu Ou slowly opened his eyes, looking very tired.
"I took care of it, but this isn't normal." After saying that, he fainted, just like those characters in movies who are rushing to deliver a message to the protagonist but are seriously injured.
This wasn't an act; he was controlling his body and entering this state.
Judging solely from his physiological reactions, anyone would have to admit that he is currently in a state of 'fainting'.
"Captain, what should we do?" The soldier supporting Wu Ou looked at his captain.
"This..." The captain was also at a loss for what to do. He picked up the pager and said, "This is Team Four. We've found an injured person who needs to be taken back to a safe place..."
There was no other way; to ensure Wu Ou's safety, he had to send a standby aircraft to pick him up.
Soon, Wu Ou was sent to Captain Su's side.
Upon seeing Wu Ou's face clearly, Captain Su was first surprised, then his brows furrowed.
"How did he end up here?"
