"How can there be so many..."
After a moment of silence, the bullet screen erupted again.
"Counting them, there must be dozens of Tyrants, right? How can there be so many of them... How are we supposed to fight this? Just one Tyrant before took so much time and manpower, and so much ammunition, to kill. If dozens of them come at once, who can withstand it?"
Some people had calm eyes. "Don't panic, these Tyrants seem to be different models from the Nemesis Pursuer. They don't have those hot weapons on them, and their appearance looks a size smaller!"
"It seems so... Then what about that other type of monster?"
Everyone's gaze fell on another creature.
It was a humanoid creature, half of its body was human, and the other half was a huge arm with a large eyeball growing out of it, looking as if it had been parasitized.
G-Creatures!
These monsters had a unified name: G-Creatures.
And the Boss-level guy that appeared in the very center was a size larger than them in form, almost identical in appearance, and was named G-William.
These guys were different from ordinary zombies; their combat power was significantly stronger.
Just looking at their running speed told them that.
The first thing these G-Creatures did when they appeared was not to directly attack the Adventurer; on the contrary, their target was beyond everyone's expectation.
These G-Creatures actually charged straight towards the Tyrants.
Under the shocked gaze of everyone on the bullet screen,
Their thick claws, with one strike, pierced directly through the Tyrant's chest.
The Tyrant tried to transform into its second form, but was directly torn apart by these guys, its internal power absorbed, and these G-Creatures visibly grew stronger.
The Boss-level G-William also devoured the remaining shell of the central Tyrant—the Nemesis Pursuer, and its body rapidly underwent changes.
"Commander, should I shoot him in the head and see what happens?" Chen Yuxuan asked over the radio.
Chen Jiu pondered for a moment, "First, try to fight a few smaller ones to see what kind of trump cards this type of monster has. Also, with the changes in the surrounding environment, new weapons should appear, especially things similar to super-conducting railguns, and other serums similar to the T-Virus. Finding these things is the key to clearing the stage."
Chen Jiu quickly issued the command.
The reason for not attacking G-William was the fear that he might evolve into a more troublesome form later, just like the Tyrants, which would be problematic.
It was better to try out the smaller ones first to get an understanding.
"Understood."
Chen Yuxuan smiled faintly and quickly aimed at a G-Creature.
One shot was fired.
It was an instant kill.
That G-Creature slowly fell, but not long after, its body underwent a change; a head grew out of the monster's half-shell, pushing down the other half of the human body.
G2 Form.
The Adventurer of the pioneering team revealed an expression of 'as expected,' without much surprise.
"Chen Yuxuan, continue." Chen Jiu gave the command over the radio.
Another bullet went down.
The G2 Form slowly fell again under this bullet.
Not long after.
The human body next to this G-Creature began to wriggle again. When this G-Creature got up, it no longer had human features, but had transformed into a humanoid creature with two huge claws, and its speed had become extremely fast.
"Continue?" Chen Yuxuan asked over the radio.
"Continue!"
Without another word, another sniper rifle bullet fell.
But unlike the previous two times...
The reaction speed of the G3 Form was astonishingly fast; although it didn't dodge the shot, it actually raised its hand to block it.
And then it even tried to escape.
Bang!
Chen Jiu had the other Adventurer nearby finish it off with their sniper rifles.
Although these sniper rifles were not as large in caliber as the one Chen Yuxuan held, their damage was sufficient, and they still killed the G3 Form.
And then.
The G4 Form appeared before everyone's eyes; on its original basis, a huge proboscis with countless sharp teeth grew from its abdomen, and its body also grew several sizes larger, completely transforming into a terrifying monster.
The bullet screen was somewhat numb:
"This is really f***ed, it's endless..."
"Good heavens, there are already 4 forms, the Tyrant wasn't even this hard to kill, and this is just an elite monster?"
"There won't be a G5, will there?"
Just as that bullet screen said.
This time, after expending several rocket launchers, the G5 Form finally appeared before everyone.
It was another monster like a mountain of flesh.
Once it reached this level, it was no longer something that could be instantly killed by a single sniper rifle shot.
Heavy weapons had to be used.
"Teams 27 and 32, full bombardment!" Chen Jiu was also somewhat numb.
He issued commands to the two high-platform teams closest to the G5 Form.
More than a dozen rocket launchers bombarded that mountain of flesh, and only by relying on suppressive fire was it killed.
Finally...
That G-Creature never got up again, turning into a charred wreck.
"It can probably be confirmed..." Chen Jiu said over the radio: "There are a total of 5 forms. The strength of the boss cannot be determined yet, but it will only be stronger. Our current weapons are only enough to clear these elite monsters. Everyone, free bombardment, just kill as many elite monsters as possible. Qi Maosong, continue to hold off the boss. Li Ruoshu, the exploration of the original laboratory research institute is up to you."
Chen Jiu quickly made arrangements.
This time, only Li Ruoshu's team was assigned for the exploration, which was a last resort.
Only Li Ruoshu could successfully reach the laboratory research institute to the north amidst the encirclement of these G-Creatures.
No one else could do it.
However, the others were not idle; they quickly consolidated their remaining ammunition and launched a bombardment against the G-Creatures that had completely rioted below. From the high platforms, countless firelights erupted again, and dozens of death trajectories fell upon these monsters.
Elite monsters were not like bosses.
After they died, there was no need to wait for their phase transitions; damage could be directly applied.
They were directly subjected to continuous bombardment.
In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen G-Creatures had died under the bombardment.
However, these G-Creatures were not to be trifled with; their speed was faster than the Tyrants, and after going completely berserk, their gaze had locked onto the pioneering team on the ruins.
What was originally long-range firepower coverage soon turned into close-quarters combat.
Gunshots, explosions...
Rang out from the ruins in all directions, accompanied by the roars of monsters and the curses of Adventurer.
Central area.
Qi Maosong struggled to hold back G-William, trying his best not to let him affect the damage output of his other teammates, as if this boss were to charge in, it would be almost impossible to fight at that point.
Li Ruoshu's team, taking advantage of the large number of G-Creatures being attracted by the high-platform artillery fire, headed north and found a research institute that looked somewhat out of place.
In this research institute, a G-Creature blocked the entrance, becoming an unavoidable roadblock.
