Zhao Deyi shouted, and the people on the bus jumped off the bus the moment the bird hit them. "Bang …" The bird hit the front of the bus, and the windows of the bus burst open. Countless glass shards sputtered in all directions, and a scream came from the front of the bus. Then, the whole bus and the front of the bus were deformed and flipped to the side.
The Big Yellow Bird flipped over together with the bus, and the fishing net that was covering it hung on the deformed truck. Zhang Xiaoqiang's bullets went through the net and hit the Big Yellow Bird's back.
When the Big Yellow Bird let out its last scream, another scream echoed from behind the mountain. The Great Blackbird could not take it anymore, and it spread its wings and appeared in the sky. When the Great Blackbird saw the Big Yellow Bird's miserable state, it let out an angry cry and rushed down like the Big Yellow Bird before it.
When the Great Blackbird rushed down, the vehicles that fired the crossbows earlier were all reloaded with winches, and large crossbows were aimed at the Great Blackbird. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang noticed that the Great Blackbird had changed a lot from before.
Its feathers were fully grown, and its color had changed from black to light purple. Its beak was bigger than before, and it looked like a machete. On its huge head, a few new purple feathers flickered as it fell, and its huge claws looked sharper than the Big Yellow Bird's. They had turned from black to light gray, and the craggy skin on them looked more ferocious.
The Great Blackbird was faster than the Big Yellow Bird, so Zhang Xiaoqiang waited for the Great Blackbird to enter his shooting range. He calmed himself and prepared to shoot. However, the Great Blackbird did not follow Zhang Xiaoqiang's plan. Halfway through its dive, it flapped its wings, paused for less than a second, and suddenly spiraled down to the back of the convoy.
Zhang Xiaoqiang had just aimed, but before he could pull the trigger, the Great Blackbird's speed almost doubled, and it fell to the back of the convoy in the blink of an eye. Before he could react, a small car suddenly jumped into the sky, and a strong wind blew everyone off the car. The Great Blackbird grabbed a small car and rushed toward Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang yelled at the driver to move, and at the same time, he pulled the trigger, and the car under the Great Blackbird started sparking.
Following that, there was a series of explosions. The armor-piercing incendiary bomb emitted thick black smoke and flames from the car that the big black bird had grabbed. The big black bird let go of the car, but it fell with the falling car, blocking the car in front of its body.
"Bang …"
The falling car smashed into the spot where Zhang Xiao Qiang's car had been. Parts flew everywhere, and the fuel tank was finally ignited, creating an even louder explosion and fire. A strong gust of wind blew the thick smoke away. The big black bird was like a ghost, rushing towards the small car that Zhang Xiao Qiang was on the other side of the smoke.
Zhang Xiaoqiang already knew that the Great Blackbird would change from its previous recklessness and become as cunning as the missile base, but he didn't expect that even before the battle began, his side would already suffer heavy casualties. The three people in the car were definitely dead, and the soldiers who had been blown away by the wind were also in trouble.
The Big Black Bird used the car and the thick smoke as a cover, and quietly rushed towards Zhang Xiao Qiang, its eyes flashing with a sinister and crazed rage. The heavy machine gun in Zhang Xiao Qiang's hands spat out a long tongue of flame at the Big Black Bird. In his dynamic vision, Zhang Xiao Qiang was shocked to discover that 3 bullets could penetrate through the bird's skin, but 5 bullets had actually penetrated the Big Black Bird's skin. Although the 6th bullet had penetrated the Big Black Bird's scalp, the Big Black Bird had already completed its tactical maneuver, its huge wings sweeping towards Zhang Xiao Qiang.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not retreat, and countless bullets were fired at the Great Blackbird's body. In the next moment, a huge shadow covered the front of the car, and with a strange sound, the entire windshield and the deformed frame bounced backward, smashing into the driver in front. The rear window shattered, and countless blood-stained shards streaked across Zhang Xiaoqiang's ears and stabbed his chest. After the Great Blackbird left, the entire front of the car became a pile of scrap metal, and Zhang Xiaoqiang was also thrown out of the car by the huge impact.
By the time Zhang Xiaoqiang stood up, the Great Blackbird had already completed its turn and pounced toward the Great Blackbird. At this time, dozens of crossbow bolts were fired at the same time. At close range, at least two-thirds of the crossbow bolts hit the Great Blackbird's body, and the rest of the crossbow bolts dragged the chains around the Great Blackbird's body.
The Great Blackbird that was pouncing toward the car jerked violently, and the force of the crossbow bolts caused the Great Blackbird to fall backward. Seeing that the Great Blackbird had lost its balance, everyone cheered in unison. However, the Great Blackbird flapped its wings and landed on the ground in a cloud of dust, and Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had just climbed up the machine gun nest, was once again slapped away.
Before Zhang Xiaoqiang could turn over on the ground, he saw more than ten crossbow bolts that had missed their target being pulled down by the chains welded to the body of the car. The thick chains wrapped around the Great Blackbird's body, as if binding the Great Blackbird.
Of course, this was just wishful thinking. The chains hanging on the Great Blackbird's body did not have much effect. The real hope was the armor-piercing arrowheads engraved with barbs. The armor-piercing arrowheads were extremely sharp and could easily pierce through a five-centimeter-thick steel plate. This had been proven by the Great Yellow Bird just now. Initially, Zhang Xiaoqiang thought that the Great Blackbird would be injured after being hit by dozens of crossbow bolts, but who knew that the Great Blackbird was no longer the Great Blackbird of the past. Its tough skin could continuously deflect five large-caliber bullets, and its skin was far thicker than the skin of a D2, almost reaching the thickness of a D3.
The big black bird let out a high-pitched cry, and its two wings swept away the broken chains in front of it. It suddenly pounced on the cart, and grabbed the fishing net made of steel wires with one claw. It flapped its wings and tore the big net apart in an instant.
The net was torn apart, but the Great Yellow Bird lay motionless on the body of the car. The Great Yellow Bird let out a mournful cry, as if calling out to the Great Yellow Bird. At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang gestured to Zhao Deyi, telling him to take everyone and retreat. Zhao Deyi was a smart man, and he immediately ordered all the soldiers to get out of the car and hide, waiting for the Great Blackbird's wrath.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't expect the Great Blackbird to become so powerful. He didn't know if it had evolved a second time like the zombies. At the very least, ordinary soldiers were of no use. Rather than waiting for the Great Blackbird to slaughter them, it was better to hide first, while he went up to the machine gun nest and prepared to fire again.
The scene was a little dull, and Zhang Xiaoqiang only had one chance, which was to find the wound on the bird's skin that he had just pierced and shoot at it, hoping to kill it in one shot. Other parts of the body would only give the Great Blackbird more time to react, and it would cause more damage to the convoy.
Five of them had died, and only one of them was killed by the Great Yellow Bird while he was sitting in the driver's seat. The others were killed by the Great Blackbird.
The Great Blackbird let out a mournful cry, but the Great Yellow Bird could only shake its head weakly and move its wings. It looked like it was about to die. Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but look around, hoping to find a place for his men to hide. Hiding under the car was not a good idea.
After a few glances, Zhang Xiaoqiang found that the only place to hide was at the gap in the wall that was 300 meters away. That was where the ammunition depot was. They would only be safe if they rushed into the depot. It was impossible to not attract the Great Blackbird's attention with a 300-meter open space. The only way was to use the machine gun to attract the Great Blackbird's wrath, but before that, they had to retreat before the Great Yellow Bird breathed its last.
"Zhao Deyi, bring your men to the ammunition depot and enter through the gap …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't care less about hand signals and shouted. Zhang Xiaoqiang's voice naturally attracted the Great Blackbird's attention. When the Great Blackbird's cold gaze swept over Zhang Xiaoqiang, Zhao Deyi shouted, "Follow me …"
After that, Zhao Deyi jumped up and rushed to the gap in the wall with his rifle. More than 200 soldiers followed closely behind him. Some of them were injured, and they were being dragged by their comrades.
As soon as the Great Blackbird saw Zhang Xiaoqiang, it was attracted by Zhao Deyi's shout behind it. It turned its head 180 degrees to look behind it. Seeing more than 200 people running away, the Great Blackbird's purple fur stood on end. It spread its wings and crouched down. Just as it was about to fly into the sky, countless bullets followed the gunshots and hit the Great Blackbird's butt. Countless light purple feathers flew into the air like a feather pillow, covering the Great Blackbird's body.
The Great Blackbird screeched and flew into the sky. A long chain of light chased after the Great Blackbird and extended into the sky. Every single bullet hit the Great Blackbird's body. Feathers flew everywhere, and the Great Blackbird's skin was pierced once again. However, the Great Blackbird's speed was too fast. It completed its transformation in less than a second, and it could no longer guarantee that a few bullets would hit the same spot. The Great Blackbird had also gained some experience from exchanging fire with machine guns. Once it felt a sharp pain, it would turn its body and move the injured spot to the machine gun's blind spot, rendering the previous attacks useless.
The Type-89 HMG did not need to be changed frequently, and its firing speed was faster. The machine gun in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands was the best of the best. It could maintain its accuracy, but it could not hit the same spot continuously with five bullets in a second.
Just like before, the Great Blackbird wanted to ram into Zhang Xiaoqiang's car again, but Zhang Xiaoqiang found an opportunity. Three consecutive bullets hit the bird's head. Blood splattered everywhere, and the Great Blackbird screeched. In the midst of flying, it twisted its head and fell to the ground, rolling towards Zhang Xiaoqiang's car.
Zhang Xiaoqiang cursed in his heart. He pulled out the Rat King Blade and cut off the machine gun's rack. He hugged the machine gun and pulled out a long chain of bullets before rolling out of the car. Just as he landed, he heard a loud sound. A huge black shadow slammed into the military car, knocking it into the air. The military car that had been hit by the Great Blackbird earlier fell a dozen meters away and broke into two. A few black rubber wheels also flew up and rolled into the distance.
