"Grr … Grr … Grr … Grr …" The sound of teeth grinding could be heard continuously. The slender and huge fish monster that was nearly seven meters long chased after the two like a prehistoric monster. It was unknown who raised the rifle and pulled the trigger at the black and white body that was covered in patterns like snake scales. Because they were too frightened, their fingers pulled the trigger too tightly, and a full magazine of bullets flew out of the muzzle.
More than ten glowing bullets skimmed over the fish's dorsal fin and flew into the distant sky. The shooter was too nervous, and the bullets were fired before the butt of the gun even reached his shoulder. It would be strange if he could hit the target accurately.
After the first gunshot, the others seemed to wake up from a dream. They pointed their rifles at the fish and pulled the trigger. The fish swayed in the rain of bullets. Huang Quan and the other team member were also tumbling in the rain of bullets. Even though the team members were aiming at the fish, there were always stray bullets that landed beside them. The other team member still had not figured out what was going on. After being knocked down, he was tumbling on the ground. He was already hanging upside down, and even the concentrated gunfire was distorted in his ears.
All of this happened in a short ten seconds. Other than confusion and being caught off guard, the team members were mostly filled with fear and panic. After all, such a large monster had appeared so close to them. In their panic, they had forgotten that there was still a comrade struggling beside the monster's mouth, and the bullets had no target. As long as they aimed at the monster's body, no matter where it was, they just had to shoot.
"Shoot at the tail, shoot at the tail. Don't shoot blindly. We're all f * cking blind. Our brother is still in front of us …"
Lu Xiaobu was the first to react. He yelled as he aimed his rifle at the monster's large tail and fired continuously. The others also reacted. They had already formed a tacit understanding among themselves. With someone commanding them, they naturally calmed down and responded calmly. More than ten rifles formed a dense net of fire to trap the mysterious fish's tail.
The big fish could no longer withstand the dense hail of bullets from the team members. Its tail continuously slapped and dragged on the ground, and its body twisted and turned on the ground as it swam towards the lakeside behind it. The big fish was very fast, and its giant tail stirred up a sky full of weeds and broken reeds, forming a screen that blocked the team members' vision. By the time those things fell to the ground, the big fish had already disappeared from the lakeside, and only the waves of the water could be seen slapping against the shore.
The fish had left, and the team members were still in a daze as they stared at the rippling surface of the lake. It had come too fast, and they were caught off guard. It was not easy for them to organize themselves to fight the fish, but the fish had left so suddenly.
Yomi didn't fall into a daze. Even though he was on the brink of death, he kept his eyes open and observed the movements around him. It was precisely because of his unprecedented calmness and decisiveness that he displayed at the most critical moment. He led the teammate who had once bullied him to struggle for a path of survival between the big fish and the hail of bullets.
The fish had escaped, and the gunfire had stopped. Huang Quan let go of the team member who was still in a daze. He climbed up from the ground and walked toward the Type-95 rifle that he had thrown on the ground. Huang Quan did not have any arrogance, nor did he look at himself. He just quietly walked toward the rifle that he had dropped on the ground. He looked to be in a sorry state, and the mud, weeds, and old rotting vegetation had stained his brand new mountain combat uniform. There was even a rotten smell coming from his body.
At this moment, the other team members held their rifles and looked at Huang Quan in admiration. He was the one who reacted immediately and saved one of their comrades. He did not need to save that person. That person had once ridiculed him, and not long ago, that person had purposely knocked him down. He did not move, and allowed the fish to eat that person. No one would find out, and no one would blame him. It could only be said that the person was unlucky. However, Huang Quan had gone up, and he had disregarded his life to save that person. What kind of character was this?
Huang Quan did not look at the expressions of the others. He only calmly walked toward his rifle, as if the life and death situation was just an insignificant matter. Every team member subconsciously stood at attention when Huang Quan walked past them, giving him a salute. Although Huang Quan did not look at them, they would still do so. Huang Quan had already obtained their respect, and at the same time, they had officially recognized Huang Quan as an official member of the search team.
The dizzy team member shook his head and crawled up from the ground. He was angry, very angry. He was actually beaten by Huang Quan, the coward that he looked down on, the coward that almost sent everyone to hell. Thinking of this, he became even angrier. He was angry at himself. Why was he so careless that he actually let Huang Quan's sneak attack succeed?
"Ah …" The strong team member first walked, then jogged, and then jogged. Before the others could react, he let out a howl and jumped behind Huang Quan. He raised his hands and clasped them together into fists, and ruthlessly smashed them down on the back of Huang Quan's neck.
The other team members did not react. They saw the team member crawl up from the ground and walk to jog. They naturally thought that he wanted to express his gratitude to Huang Quan. They did not expect that the person did not know what happened from the beginning to the end. He only thought that Huang Quan had humiliated him, and he only wanted to exercise his rights as a man. If there was a grudge, he would take revenge, and if there was a grudge, that was all.
"No …" The other team members opened their mouths at the same time. Just as the word "no" came out of their mouths, before the second syllable could be spat out, the clenched fists ruthlessly smashed down.
"Hmph …" Huang Quan was picking up his rifle. He also heard the shouts behind him, but he did not care. There were other team members who would explain to the person, and he did not want to waste his breath. He set himself a goal of saying less and doing more. He would continue to work towards this goal. The big fist behind him smashed straight into his back, and he let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground.
At the same time he fell, he used his hands to support himself on the ground and rushed forward two steps. Then he turned around and dodged another flying kick from the person. Huang Quan's movements were very fast. Before the person's thigh could be retracted, his low right leg ruthlessly smashed into the person's left knee, and the person lost his balance and fell forward.
"Pa …" A big foot kicked hard into the person's face, and the person who was falling forward fell backwards. When the person fell, he had already lost consciousness. Huang Quan's kick was not light. It turned out that after Huang Quan's side kick, he did not land on the ground. After a slight retraction, he flicked it back at the person's face, completing two movements in one posture.
This kick was the side kick commonly used by the military. Huang Quan put down his leg and stretched his joints. After he found that he was fine, he lowered his head to pick up his rifle. Without looking at the person again, he continued to watch the movements by the lake. At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had been the rear guard, finally came up to the shore with the CF06 7.62mm machine gun.
"Look … He's my man, a member of our team. Look, this is a real man …" Lu Xiaobu was very satisfied, very satisfied. Huang Quan was many times stronger than that Li Zhi. Lu Xiaobu even thought that chasing Li Zhi away was a really wise decision.
Everyone came up to the shore, and as long as they were standing on the shore, they had to face the lake. The previous attack had subverted their understanding. A fish that could come up to the shore, a fish that could eat people, a fish that could grow to seven meters, was this still a fish?
