What!? Why are you aiming at me if you're supposed to be covering me!?
Seeing Nagant's movements, CF05 was truly shocked! Can't Nagant consider her feelings a little!?
Crack!
Just as she was thinking, CF05 unintentionally exerted more force, and with a crisp sound, the lock deliberately welded onto the outer gate snapped!
Clang!
The iron chains and locks used to secure the gate instantly fell to the ground. The gate, already shaking, swung open outward before CF05 could react!
As the gate opened, the thermal imaging system of the powered exoskeleton suddenly revealed a large number of moving targets!
"Ah—!" Just as CF05 turned her head, she came face to face with an Infected rushing towards her. Seeing the Infected's dim face in the thermal imaging, CF05 was startled!
She swung the hydraulic pliers in her hand directly at the Infected's head!
Crack!
As CF05 acted, Nagant, who had already retreated far away, immediately pulled the trigger!
Ratatat!
The slightly muffled sound of gunfire rang out from Nagant's hands!
Ping! Pang!
However, the next moment didn't produce the sound of bullets hitting the Infected's head but rather bullets hitting CF05's powered exoskeleton!
"What are you shooting at!?" Sensing the continuous noise behind her, CF05 wished she could immediately throw the hydraulic pliers in her hand at Nagant's head! Why was she being targeted like this!
"Hey! Watch out! Watch out! There's a big one coming out!" Nagant shouted loudly to CF05 while tightly gripping the trigger.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, CF05 couldn't care less about the occasional bullets hitting her back. She quickly turned her head, only to see a giant Infected charging towards her, holding a large object resembling a car door in its hand!
The car door swung fiercely through the air!
"Whoa! Nagant! Hurry up and take down this guy!" CF05 quickly dodged the attack from the giant Infected, at least three meters tall, and shouted loudly to Nagant.
"I'm already doing it!?" Nagant exclaimed. Wasn't she already shooting!?
From the moment CF05 opened the gate, the two machine guns in her hands directly shattered the heads of the Infected rushing forward!
As for the bullets hitting CF05's back, that was entirely accidental...
However, facing this huge giant Infected, Nagant felt a bit helpless. Her bullets seemed to have little effect on this guy's tough skin!
Even though her bullets hit the Infected's chest in clusters, they only managed to shatter the outer silicified layer of the giant Infected's body, barely causing any damage to its internals!
"Aim for the head! Aim for the head!" CF05, who had already dodged away from the giant Infected, saw Nagant's bullets hitting the Infected's chest and quickly reminded her.
"It's no good! The guy's head is almost gone! It's too hard to aim!" As Nagant continued to pull the trigger, the ammunition in her ammunition box was depleted by more than half in just a few tens of seconds!
The giant Infected's head, compared to its massive body, was like a tiny bean. Combined with the unclear image in the thermal imaging, Nagant felt that such a high-difficulty task should be left to the MG3!
After all, the MG3 had the engraving marks of a machine gun, even though she wasn't using her own engraved weapon, the weapon model was the same, and the hit rate of the bullets would be much higher than hers, who was originally just a pistol shooter!
"It's not working! I can't penetrate this guy's silicified skin with my bullets!?"
To be honest, although this wasn't the first time Nagant encountered a situation where bullets couldn't penetrate an Infected's silicified layer, she didn't expect... why didn't the machine gun work! Even armor-piercing rounds couldn't penetrate this guy's tough skin!
"MG3! You're useless!" Nagant shouted in frustration.
Boom!
However, the next moment, the giant Infected swung the car door at her with force!
Weighing over a ton with the powered exoskeleton, Nagant was thrown into the air by the impact! Her two-meter-tall body flew more than four meters and crashed heavily to the ground, leaving a doll sized pit in the ground.
"Ow! CF05! Can you come and help!?" Thanks to the excellent impact resistance of the powered exoskeleton, Nagant was only slightly dizzy at the moment, and her original body suffered no harm.
But...
Click! Click!
Out of ammo!? When!?
Lying on the ground and unable to get up, Nagant tried to slow down the Infected's movements with her weapons, giving herself some time to get up, but... nothing happened... only the dry sound feedback from the powered exoskeleton.
Somewhat dazed, Nagant, like a fool, raised her hands and looked at the weapons in her hands.
The barrels of the two machine guns were now glowing red, extremely conspicuous in the thermal imaging, as if they had turned into two large light sources.
"Hey! Nagant! Don't just stand there! Run away! I'll go find Simonov first! Her cannons can definitely take down this guy!"
While Nagant was in a daze, CF05 ran towards the direction where Simonov had just left like a streak of smoke!
"Huh!? Hey!? Ah!"
Boom!
Hearing CF05's words, Nagant was suddenly startled. However, the giant Infected had already arrived in front of her. Its fist, larger than a human head, had already swung down towards her!
This fist slammed into the ground, directly increasing the depth of the doll pit under Nagant by several tens of centimeters!
Scared!
Nagant, who had just dodged this blow, didn't have time to be amazed and continued to roll to the other side, because the Infected's other fist had already come down!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Nagant kept rolling, the giant Infected's actions were like a pile driver, smashing the ground into one pit after another!
"Bastard! CF05! Don't just run! Help me... use your... that pile driver of yours! Use the pile driver to take down this guy!" Seeing CF05's powered exoskeleton arms swinging as she ran, Nagant remembered the device on her arms.
With a sharp tip and a large driving body, the pile driver, which seemed to have been installed and never used since, heard the commander say it was for breaking doors? But that thing seemed to have been removed from engineering machinery and modified...
It was probably the continuous attacks that slowed down the Infected's movements a bit. Nagant quickly got up and rushed towards the giant Infected, grabbing its wrists before it could swing its fists!
"Hurry up! Damn it! I'm a tactical doll! Why am I fighting this freak in hand-to-hand combat!?"
