Chapter 692: Skeletal Coatl
Barely done yelling the word run, I grabbed the Qiaoqiao and Lixiang with both my arms, then ran as fast as I could away from the hotel entrance.
The area we were in was too close to the white exosuit. More likely than not, this would soon turn into a battlefield, and if we did not run now, we would undoubtedly be drawn into it.
Yanked back to her senses, Lixiang quickly broke free from my grasp and started running as well. That way, she would not slow me down as we ran. Only Qiaoqiao seemed to be in shock from the sudden appearance of that serpentine monster.
Bitong naturally wasnt a concern at all. The moment I shouted run, she was already on her feet way before me.
The road wasnt clear, but now wasnt the time for farming either. Rather than fighting the zombies in the way, we chose to ram our way through any enemies.
Even so, that serpentine skeleton was too fast. Before we could put some distance between us and the hotel, a tremor shook the ground once more. This time, it felt like a bomb had gone off near us. Encased within these exosuits, we could still feel the shockwave buffeting us like a hammer. Thankfully, the impact was mostly absorbed by the exosuit and only caused a little discomfort to us.
We took a second to recover from the impact, then immediately sprinted off into the distance. Bitong took the opportunity to deploy her detachable bits to act as a video recorder behind us.
The idea was to give us some information on the battle, but because the shockwave had stirred up quite a dust storm, the detachable bits couldnt record much.
Is that white exosuit done for? Was the first thought that crossed my mind. However, a mere moment later, a significantly battered and dusty exosuit broke out of the dust cloud, taking to the skies. Along with him, were a few unfortunate zombies who tried to hold down his suit
The instant that white exosuit was clear of the dust, he immediately raised his gun, and without even aiming, fired off another shot. Unfortunately, the attack did not hit its target. The serpentine skeleton managed to dodge the beam of laser, though not without paying a price. It not only had its left wing clipped, the entire corner of its left wing had been caught in the line of fire
The impossible-looking skeletal Coatl had just been taken out by that white exosuit
By removing the Coatls ability to fly, the white exosuit could take to the skies unimpeded, though he had to give up his sniper rifle which was stuck fast in the monsters jaws.
Now that he had the aerial advantage, he took out his reserve gun and summarily executed the monster with three pinpoint shots to its head! The battle was settled at that point; the Soul Flame within clearly could not withstand three shots, with how weak it was.
Without its Soul Flame, the entire skeleton crumbled to the ground in a massive pile of bones.
He won Qiaoqiao had been watching the video feed off our detachable bits all this while, thus she was the first to notice his victory, and was more than intrigued by this newcomer. Maybe we should go back and say hi. If he isnt with the police, he has to be with the military Either way, we can approach him for help!
This one agrees. More information is important. Now that the danger had passed, Lixiang was happy to approve of that plan. We should go over to have a look.
Since the two of you want to do so, I guess we can. The monster is dead, anyway.
Lets go over. Bitong nodded as well.
Its settled then.
Yet just as we were about to turn around, something else happened
The roof of a nearby building suddenly exploded, raining down countless rocks on us. And like helpless mice, we had to run for cover once more.
