Chapter 188 Victoria
Several agents kept shooting explosive crossbows at the sumo wrestler, but the big guy's fat seemed to be much stronger than it looked. Every explosion could only tear a bloody hole the size of a bowl in the sumo wrestler's body. Not to mention the "core" deep in the body, even the thick layer of fat could not be penetrated.
"This should be considered a special ability... The defensive power of this fat body feels no less than the outer armor of a tank." Ke Lan couldn't help but say - if they don't penetrate this layer of fat, the agents of the Security Bureau will not be able to inject the active cells of the flesh-eating worms into the "nucleus", and naturally there will be no way to kill this mutant...
Of course, they could just throw out the whole flesh-eating worm as bait. In this way, even if they couldn't come into contact with the mutant's "core", the astonishing dose alone would be enough to poison the guy to death... But obviously, these agents would not make this choice unless it was absolutely necessary.
Upon seeing this, Victoria immediately shouted, "Fire the Heavy Crossbow!"
“Bang!”
A streak of light penetrated the sumo wrestler's abdomen in the blink of an eye. Accompanied by a sound like tearing cloth, the barb of the giant crossbow tore a huge hole in the sumo wrestler's abdomen. Yellow fat mixed with intestines full of filth immediately flowed all over the ground, and a stench that was enough to make people faint instantly swept over.
But just as the security agent was about to tighten the steel cable, the sumo wrestler grabbed the giant crossbow hooked on his belly first, and pulled it hard, actually pulling the entire crossbow off the base. The agent who was operating the crossbow was in dire straits - he flew dozens of meters sideways, with a visibly sunken forehead, and when he fell to the ground, he was already a corpse.
That’s not all. The sumo wrestler simply used the crossbow as a meteor hammer and swung it heavily towards Ke Lan and the others!
"Damn!" Ke Lan cursed inwardly, grabbed Ashkani beside him and quickly stepped back. The alloy-cast crossbow brought a gust of wind and just passed in front of them.
The two security agents who were standing closer to the front and didn't have time to dodge were not so lucky. The crossbow knocked them to the ground and then rolled over them. Amidst a heart-pounding sound of bones breaking, two pools of unrecognizable flesh appeared on the ground. The splattered blood and flesh even got on Ke Lan's face.
Ashkani was stunned for several seconds before reacting. He quickly turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Suppress it with fire! Quick, suppress it with fire!"
Four "Bloodhound" mechas immediately stepped forward, and the eight twin-mounted heavy machine guns began to roar. Countless shell casings fell to the ground with a "clink-dang-dang" sound, and the intensive shooting made the sumo wrestler's body splatter with blood.
"Keep shooting! Maintain suppression!" Ashkani shouted again, "Reduce the target's surface tissue as much as possible!"
Exchanging ammunition for the thick layer of fat on the mutant's body is indeed a good deal. As long as it can reveal its "nuclear", the security agents will have the opportunity to kill it.
But at this moment, the sumo wrestler suddenly let out a series of vague growls, and its body began to tremble violently. A large number of tough tentacles broke through the skin and grew out, wrapping around its body to form a thick layer of armor. Not only that, the surface of these tentacles also secreted a large amount of slippery mucus, and the machine gun shells hit them and slid away. Only the shells that hit at a nearly vertical angle could break the tentacle's epidermis... In less than a few seconds, these few wounds disappeared - in addition to the defensive ability, the recovery ability of this "living armor" is also abnormal!
"Damn... Is this a mutant? It's too... too strong..." Major Ashkani said gritting his teeth. He tightly grasped the communicator in his hand, but did not continue to issue orders. If he wanted to cause substantial damage to the mutants in front of him, he would probably have to use heavy weapons that were prohibited from being used on the Ark. However, if that kind of weapon missed the target even slightly, it would cause serious damage to the Ark itself. He knew in his heart that his superiors would never approve this request.
However, if he did not use heavy weapons, he really didn't know how to fight this battle - with only the soldiers under his command, no matter how many of them rushed forward, they would only be seeking their deaths.
"Everyone back off!" Victoria shouted harshly, and then she rushed towards the sumo wrestler alone!
"Is she crazy? Is she committing suicide?" Major Ashkani exclaimed. He wanted to stop Victoria, but he couldn't take a step forward.
"..." Ke Lan certainly knew that Victoria was not seeking death, but he didn't know what means this woman had to break through the layer of living armor on the sumo wrestler's body.
Victoria quickly closed the distance between herself and the sumo wrestler, and just when she was about to collide with the fat body, she kicked the floor hard and leaped into the air nearly five meters high - Ke Lan only now realized that Victoria's legs had also undergone prosthetic transformation. If this burst of power was used in a fight, it would definitely be able to break a person's body in two!
With a "swish", the trouser legs at Victoria's calves burst open instantly, and two nozzles hidden in the prosthetic limbs spewed out green flames more than half a meter long. With no support in mid-air, the reaction force brought by the two nozzles pushed her out several meters in the horizontal direction, allowing her to land steadily on the sumo wrestler's shoulder!
But before she could make any move, the mutant's tentacles quickly wrapped around her legs. Hundreds of smaller tentacles split out from those tentacles and drilled into the gaps in the prosthetic armor.
Three cracks suddenly appeared on the side of the sumo wrestler's neck. In the two cracks at the top, two bloodshot eyeballs emerged from the depths of the neck, bulging outwards and making the cracks round. In the crack at the bottom, a dense patch of fangs and a tongue-like tentacle emerged. This was a face! An extremely strange face "grew" on the side of the sumo wrestler's neck... and it showed an extremely terrifying smile to Victoria!
"Laugh now, while you still can." Victoria said expressionlessly. She seemed to completely ignore the tentacles that were drilling into the prosthetic limbs. She just stared at the face blankly, then raised her right hand.
