Chapter 542 Vampire

With this exclamation, Li Meng remembered.

There is another name for cannibals, that is vampires.

The new humans know them very well and have detailed information.

They are very smart, very smart, and some individuals have intelligence no less than humans.

They originated from humans. Due to long-term exposure to nuclear radiation, their genes mutated, and under some coincidence, the species of vampires appeared.

They feed on humans and will prey on humans purposefully. Compared with humans, they have stronger survival ability and can adapt to any environment. Even if there is not enough food, they will not starve to death. They can reduce the consumption of their bodies by hibernation and hide somewhere waiting for the arrival of the destined person.

They are more of a social creature with no fertility. They rely on a method of injecting genetic viruses to transform humans. If they are attacked by vampires and not eaten by vampires, humans will become vampires. The process from human to vampire only takes a few minutes. In the following months, the transformed human body will degenerate more and more, and finally crawl forward like a real vampire.

Li Meng didn't expect to encounter cannibals and legendary vampires here.

Did the Conan Mining Company alarm them hiding deep in the mine, or did they come from other places?

"Retreat, evacuate immediately, cover with grenades!"

Without any hesitation, when he saw the monsters swarming under the shining lights, Li Meng gave the order to retreat.

With Li Meng's roar, the mercenaries reacted.

They pulled off the grenades from their waists, pulled the safety, and threw them forward.

As soon as the grenades were released, the mercenaries turned around and ran back to the place where they came from.

"Boom boom..."

As soon as the mercenaries turned around and ran forward less than ten meters, there was a sudden intensive explosion in the mine behind them.

The flames surged, balls of fire shone in the darkness, and the exploding metal fragments swept around.

"Sizzle..."

Blood flew everywhere. In the explosion, some vampires were affected, some were blown away, and some were torn apart directly.

More than 20 grenades could not stop them. After the explosion, everything returned to darkness. In the darkness, they chased the prey fleeing in front.

In the dark pit, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed.

The beams of light flashed, and the mercenaries ran wildly in the mine. The gradually approaching movement behind them was like the pursuit of the god of death. The dark environment made the mercenaries extremely nervous.

"Don't look back, I'm behind you, run, keep running..."

As soon as the words fell, while running, Li Meng contacted Zhao Hongwen in the airship.

"Zhao Hongwen, we have been attacked by vampires and need support. Immediately deploy a firepower network at the entrance of the mine. Don't let these guys leave the mine."

Vampire?

Just above the mine, above the clouds, a huge airship quietly floated in the sea of ​​clouds.

At this time, the airship has entered a state of combat readiness.

In the four harbors, all combat personnel were assembled, all "Vulture" transport planes were on standby, and all "Little Bird" armed fighters were on standby, waiting for the order to attack.

In the No. 1 harbor, Zhao Hongwen received Li Meng's order.

Vampire?

With a frown, Zhao Hongwen hurriedly said: "The second and third teams will set off immediately, deploy a defense line at the entrance of the mine, and send the heavy cavalry guards down immediately. Quick, the rest of the people are on standby."

With Zhao Hongwen's order, the two "Vulture" transport planes in the No. 1 harbor started the engine.

With the roar of the engine and the rolling of the air waves, the two "Vulture" transport planes took off one after another and flew out of the harbor from the gate.

In the sea of ​​clouds outside, the two "Vulture" transport planes plunged into the extreme temperature layer.

"Captain, are you still there?"

In the dark mine, more than 20 people were running wildly.

The strange sound behind him was getting closer and closer, which made the mercenaries sweat profusely while running wildly, fearing that the vampire behind him would hug him and drag him into the depths of darkness.

"Keep running..."

In the communicator, Li Meng's voice sounded.

This made the mercenaries feel much more at ease. The captain was behind them. As long as the captain was still there, they were safe.

After turning off the team communicator, Xu Jianxiong said to the captain beside him: "Captain, they are very close, and their speed is much faster than ours. Someone must stay to cover them."

Looking at Xu Jianxiong beside him, Li Meng said calmly: "Now is not the time to be a hero. Staying alive is the most important thing. They can't catch up with us."

Why?

Why is the captain so confident?

His face was stunned, and Xu Jianxiong realized a problem.

Obviously, the vampire was very close to the two of them. With the speed of the vampire, it should have caught up with them long ago.

But the vampire has been behind them, and it has been just a little bit behind them. This situation has been happening for a while.

This is not the time to daydream. Who would want to die if they can live?

If the darkness in the pit was gone, everything would be visible, and Xu Jianxiong would find an interesting scene.

More than 20 meters behind them was the vampire chasing behind them.

The prey in front of them was clearly within reach, but every time the vampire wanted to move forward, it was as if it hit a transparent wall, and the whole body seemed to be hammered and rolled to the ground.

As the mercenaries ran wildly, a ray of light finally appeared in the darkness ahead.

The exit was here...

"We're here, we're here, the exit is in front, hurry up, hurry up."

"Captain, are you still there? We're here, the exit is in front."

"In..."

Although it was only a one-word response, the mercenaries all felt like they had survived a disaster.

At this time, outside the pit, the backup troops had arrived at the bottom of the mine.

Four heavy cavalry guards, more than 40 soldiers, formed an indestructible defense line outside the pit.

"They are here, raise the muzzle to avoid accidental firing, the vampire is behind them, prepare for battle."

In the cockpit of one of the heavy cavalry guards, Wei Qiunan's eyes flashed with worry, and he issued an order to prepare for battle.

With Wei Qiunan's order, the mercenaries outside the cave moved their muzzles away and stared at the cave.

As the mercenaries watched nervously, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the dark pit.

In just ten seconds, a group of figures in white protective clothing ran out of the darkness.

It was the companion who entered the pit...

When Wei Qiunan saw Li Meng and Xu Jianxiong behind the team, he breathed a sigh of relief in the cockpit of the Heavy Cavalry Guard.

"Prepare for battle!"

With a cry, the rifles in the hands of the four Heavy Cavalry Guards were lowered at the same time, aiming at the entrance of the pit.

Just after the mercenary ran out of the pit, in just a few seconds, bursts of strange sounds rang out, black shadows surged, and the next moment, a large number of vampires rushed out from the darkness.
