Seeing these monsters rushing towards Ella, Mendoza instinctively wanted to save them, but his reason told him that if he went out, he would die!
So he forced himself to huddle in the shadow of the rock, holding his breath, and even his trembling was restrained.
After they surrounded Ella, they immediately let out a metallic scream, like a crazy chorus. The stimulated Ella woke up from the confusion caused by the injury, and then screamed too.
"What! What are you-"
She raised a hand in vain to try to drive them away, but it was easily cut off from the elbow by sharp claws. A monster squatted down and took a bite on her cheek. While Ella trembled and screamed,
It tore off large pieces of flesh and blood, and blood flowed down its chin - as if waiting for this signal, the other three creatures also began to tear at the injured person.
Mendoza's eyes widened, as if he was forcing himself to perform some kind of terrible penance. He watched the monsters tearing at the bones protruding from the severed arms, tearing them from the flesh with a large amount of thick arterial blood.
When he came out, he saw them stabbing Ella's belly with their claws until the muscles were torn apart, then they took out her internal organs and scattered them all over the floor.
After a brutal minute, Ella's screams fell silent. The creatures feasted on her flesh and dragged the bloody remains out of the tunnel. When the monsters dragged away Ella's mutilated body, Mendoza even saw
One of them wrapped Ella's intestines around his neck like a scarf!
Mendoza has never been a coward, but he was really scared. He had never heard of such monsters in the Slag Mountain War Zone. Where did they come from? Are they biochemical monsters created by mechanical slave owners?
Now he can only wait for those things to leave. He looks at his and Ella's baggage on the ground. These supplies must be sent to the front line. This is his responsibility, and he needs to report this matter. There will always be a chance for revenge in the future.
.
After making sure those things were gone, Mendoza carefully slipped out. He picked up his bag, hid Ella's bag, and then walked towards the passage in the opposite direction from where the monster left.
When entering the deep mountain tunnel, he was always wary of what was behind him, but when he passed a small crack, he discovered that the crack in the tunnel was covered with a strange green light.
However, he did not dare to stay longer, but speeded up.
When the passage curved to the left, he felt that he saw a flickering light in the distance, which reflected the rock in bright yellow. Perhaps this was a way out to the mountainside, a crack in the stone, and a secret path could be followed.
Trails lead to the foothills.
For the first time since that terrible thing happened, Mendoza felt a glimmer of hope, and he hurried forward.
"Ke...Sa..."
But a faint voice forced him to stop.
Ke...Sa...
Mendoza was shocked. If he remembered correctly, this was Ella's voice, her cry when she was unconscious, but she was clearly in front of him...
He turned around slowly and saw a figure staggering out of the green shadow. For a moment, Mendoza seemed to see Ella's face, but after blinking, only half of the face was left, and the other half was left.
Half of it was covered on a rusted skull, with red eyes shining with a crazy light.
It walked slowly, murmuring "Ella", with a string of minced meat and gold bones hanging from its chin, and sharp bone nails protruding from its spine, like an upright crown, but they were made of metal.
texture.
Mendoza felt as cold as ice for a moment. It turned out that these monsters were always following him. Could it be that they wanted him to take them somewhere...
The next second, the thing screamed and lunged at him, and Mendoza turned around and ran in horror.
Claws as sharp as knives attacked him and scratched his bundle. He fell forward and spilled many things at the same time.
In a panic, Mendoza touched the weapon on his waist, a short dart gun found in the warehouse. Out of some crazy reflex, when the opponent rushed towards him, he raised the short gun and shot without thinking, without even aiming.
.
The first jagged bullet hit the guy's mouth. This kind of dart bullet has an empty chamber with a built-in dormant beacon. When a dart bullet hits the target, it will send a signal that can guide other dart bullets.
, causing other darts to continue to hit, causing a series of damage and even breaking through the bone.
Under the blow of a series of bullets, sparks burst out, and the monster jumped to the side howling, with a big hole in its head.
Mendoza also cut off his straps and jumped up, kicking it out. His boot hit the animal's chest. He felt that he had kicked it on an iron plate. Although it did not cause any damage, he kicked it down. Then Mendoza fired bullets over and over again.
Shoot it over and over again until the bullets are gone.
Eventually, the burning red in the eye sockets gradually faded into dim black embers, and the skull cracked under the continuous shooting of bullets, but the crazy Mendoza did not stop, he kept stepping on the thing's head with his feet until
The monster's head turned into bloody debris, and anything it used as a brain was shattered.
It was only then that he finally discovered the truth about this monster. They were a group of mechanical, skeleton-shaped robots made of metal. They must be another masterpiece of the perverted imagination of those mechanical slave owners. They covered the skins of living people.
On yourself!
After a long time, Mendoza sat down on the ground, feeling his hands and feet weak.
Blood spattered on the ground, flowing along the circles of torn intestines, flesh and Ella's shredded clothes, and then Mendoza cried on the ground.
His hands were covered in blood, and every breath he took felt like a blade being inserted into his lungs. He wanted to lie there forever, huddled in the darkness and waiting until his compatriots brought help.
But he couldn't rest, not yet, because at this moment, Mendoza heard the sound of more monsters approaching.
In addition to the sound of their claws rubbing against the rocks, Mendoza also vaguely heard screams, gurgles, and crazy cries. He stood up tremblingly, bared his teeth as he cried, and opened a gash that had been torn open.
holding the baggage in his arms.
When he started running, a deformed shadow appeared on the wall of the passage behind him, strange lights flickered and danced, and the screams got closer and closer...
"Recently, there have been many cases of Sikarian Rust Seekers losing contact, which is somewhat abnormal."
Engineer Hugo was looking at the data flowing on the suggested tactics panel while chatting with the telegraph machine monk Toppin beside him. They were both the lowest rank among technical priests, although they were already older than apprentices.
They are much more advanced, but they are still inconspicuous among the ordinary beings in the forging world.
Since their status is low, their turn will definitely not be a good job. For example, now, with a few apprentices, they establish a forward stronghold on a mountainside in Area B2 of the Slag Mountains to provide "whack-a-mole" protection for the front line.
