The death of the Super Mutant changed the situation of the battle slightly. The fearless Mutants actually stopped their attacks for a moment. Although it was only a slight pause, Chu Hao was keenly aware of it. Then, under the bombardment of a large number of anti-tank rockets, the Mutants who were already very close to the front line were killed by a lot. This made everyone involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wow, 2,000 Reward Points. When I go back, I can also exchange for a Bloodline." Billis' eyes were practically glowing as she murmured. After going through this round of gunfire, she had gained a lot of courage. At the very least, she no longer looked as if she would faint at any moment from fright.
Although he had killed a Super Mutant, Chu Hao's expression still did not relax. This time, there were too many Mutants. Even a conservative estimate would put the number of Super Mutants at around five. Only one Super Mutant was killed. From the Psychic Scan, Team Nordic's high-end combat power had been used up. Even if they gave it their all, they could only kill one or two Super Mutants at most. What was the use of that? Those Super Mutants were not afraid of heavy firepower at all. They could completely charge forward. In this way, even if the front line was broken, even if they retreated to the last line of defense, it was estimated that they would not be able to stop these Super Mutants for long.
There was still more than an hour before dawn. The time was only a little over four o 'clock in the morning. At the very least, they would have to hold off these Mutants for an hour before they could retreat at dawn. This one hour …. Every second felt like a year!
The current situation did not allow Chu Hao to think about anything else. He could only brace himself and continue to command the battle. He knew where he needed to increase his firepower, who needed to change their weapons, and when to use the heavy weapons. All of these matters were being commanded by him in an orderly manner. At this moment, even the dullest members of the party knew that Chu Hao's commanding standards were top-notch. It was estimated that only a powerful commander like him would be able to command the battle in such a situation.
Fortunately, in the next ten minutes, no more Super Mutants appeared. This also allowed the death rate to remain the same. Up until now, the number of Mutants that had died was at least tens of thousands. There was no way to count the exact number, but a thick layer of flesh and blood had been laid out outside the front line. The smell of blood was so strong that it made people feel like they were in a bloody battlefield.
At this time, Aoqi suddenly said, "Chu Hao! There are only two ammo points left! "
Chu Hao was stunned for a moment. He said quietly, "Continue to fire, don't stop. Listen to my orders!"
Aoqi nodded and then continued to fire. However, everyone's hearts began to feel heavy. The reason they could still hold on was because they had enough ammo. Once they ran out of ammo, the following battle would be completely lost. Everyone understood this, but so what? This was the reality of the situation. They could only hold on.
Time passed second by second. The Mutants continued to charge forward. Zhang Heng's Apache had already stopped. Xi Kong was seriously injured and was recovering. She was about to run out of ammo and weapons. Team Nordic's suppressive fire had reached its limit. Even though tens of thousands of Mutants had died, the remaining Mutants were still charging towards them.
"Time … Give us a little more time!"
Through the Psychic Scan, it could be seen that Robert Neff was already crazily performing the final test. No one knew if it was a coincidence or if it was just the time, but the time he finished the test was just as the sun rose in the morning. Therefore, whether it was to hold on until dawn or to obtain the antidote, they had to hold on!
When everyone had used up a base number of ammo, at this time, the ground faintly trembled again. Everyone looked at each other with pale faces because this feeling could only mean one thing … A new super Mutant had appeared.
Xi Kong was still resting with her eyes closed. Zhang Heng shrugged helplessly. His helicopter had already run out of ammo. He could not attack even if he wanted to. Moreover, he did not have a way to break through the Chi Shield. Even if he used Bullet Time, he probably would not be able to break through the shield.
Everyone looked at Chu Hao. Chu Hao took a deep breath and said, "Billis, Aoqi, Steri, Tom, Xi Kong, you guys start retreating. Return to the final line of defense and start defending there. Zhang Heng, TIER, you guys and I will continue to stay here until they finish retreating."
Zhang Heng said helplessly again, "Yes, yes, yes, you are the boss. You have the final say."
TIER, on the other hand, was expressionless. He continued to fire with his two heavy machine guns.
Just like that, everyone began to retreat. When everyone moved towards the opening of the tunnel, the firepower suddenly decreased by a lot. The Mutants who were suppressed to the point that they couldn't even poke their heads out gradually felt the change. Under the lead of some evolved Mutants, a large number of Mutants began to madly rush towards the point of fire without any regard for their lives.
The entire scene was extremely thrilling. The surrounding ground was already covered with corpses and flesh, and the surrounding area was densely packed with Mutants. They roared, made a ruckus, and charged towards the group with all their might. The firepower could no longer be used to suppress the Mutants. Although most of the Mutants were killed, there were still a few Mutants that escaped the net and charged towards the group.
In fact, this might be the instinct of living creatures. The Mutants might not be very intelligent, but they still had the instinct of living creatures. That is, they felt that they were stronger than humans. In the past few years, the Mutants must have fought with the survivors who had not escaped to the mountain. They naturally knew that the guns were a big threat to them. However, without the firepower of a group of guns, how could they defeat the Mutants in such a complicated city? Moreover, the Mutants had the advantage in numbers. So, the Mutants' simple minds probably remembered one thing. When they were close, humans were food.
The first Mutants to approach were only a dozen or so Mutants. They rushed towards TIER, who was at the front. Chu Hao and Zhang Heng's expressions did not change as they continued to shoot around. The Mutants at the front roared and jumped straight up, trying to jump onto TIER's head and bite him to death.
However, TIER did not retreat at all. Instead, he rushed up and fired at the mutated human. In the sound of bullets, the mutated human was shot into pieces. However, at the same time, a few other mutated humans rushed up. One of them directly rushed in front of TIER and grabbed TIER's hand with one hand, trying to lift TIER up.
But was it that easy? Instead of lifting TIER, he was lifted up by TIER. Then, TIER dropped the heavy machine gun and tore the Mutant in half. At the same time, TIER held the two halves of the Mutant's body and swept it left and right as if he was holding two halves of a weapon. At the same time, he kicked the Mutant with all his might. One of the Mutants' chest was almost kicked through, and it flew more than ten meters away. It was definitely going to die.
In just a few minutes, these ten Mutants were directly killed by TIER, but that was it. Then, they heard Chu Hao yelling the word "retreat". TIER picked up two heavy machine guns from the ground and ran back while firing.
Chu Hao and Zhang Heng also hurriedly ran towards the large gap in the research institute. But before running, Chu Hao put the previously set time bomb in the pile of ammunition. Then, the two hurriedly rushed down the rope ladder into the underground of the research institute. Then, TIER also jumped down from above. The three of them immediately ran towards the depths of the research institute. After running for less than a minute, countless Mutants rushed down from the gap behind them, but that was all. Then, a violent explosion came from the gap, and the entire underground of the research institute trembled violently. The trembling lasted for a long time. In fact, Chu Hao and others felt that their ears were going deaf, but when the trembling stopped, they still ran forward frantically. Behind them, some of the Mutants who jumped down from the gap also began to chase after them.
There were only about a hundred of these mutated humans who were still alive. They were extremely fast and were running forward quickly in the underground of the research institute. However, before they could get close to Chu Hao and the others, intense gunshots could be heard from afar. The hundreds of mutated humans were instantly attacked by the concentrated gunshots. In just a few seconds, they were all pierced and killed.
In front of Chu Hao and others, Tom, Aoqi, and others were shooting at them with weapons. At the gate of the enclosed area, the final line of defense was built based on this huge metal gate.
In fact, the enclosed area of the research institute, especially its gate, was made of the most advanced alloy. Although it could not compete with nuclear defense bases and could not withstand tactical nuclear bombs, the alloy gate was strong enough to withstand all kinds of conventional missiles. The final line of defense built based on this gate was built because the number of Mutants that entered at one time was not large. Therefore, the line of defense was stronger than the one outside the research institute. It was just that they did not know how it would fare against the super Mutants.
Chu Hao and the other two rushed to the front. Chu Hao immediately said, "The gap has collapsed, but the Mutants will probably dig a way in. We only have a little time to rest. Check all your weapons again. Put the ammo near you and aim at the end of this tunnel. If you see any Mutants appear, immediately focus fire on them. Hold on! There is less than an hour until dawn! "
Everyone immediately began to check their weapons and ammo. At this moment, in this final line of defense, other than the heavy weapons, there were more weapons with strong penetrative capabilities. For example, there were still Metal Storms and anti-material sniper rifles. Because the terrain here limited the number of Mutants and their movements, weapons with strong penetrative capabilities were more effective.
Everyone waited silently. Occasionally, there would be one or two sounds of heavy breathing. Everyone could almost hear their own heartbeats. It was too quiet. The entire research institute … was too quiet.
At that moment, the ceiling of the research institute outside the enclosed area began to tremble violently. Then, a large piece of metal fell from the sky. Before anyone could see what was going on, a large number of mutants crawled out from the ceiling like rats. Then, the second ceiling fell, the third, and the fourth …
"Fire!"
Chu Hao roared loudly. First, the heavy machine gun in his hand was already roaring …
