175: Chapter 7 First Downsizing 175: Chapter 7 First Downsizing These mature aliens are hideously ugly.

Their bodies are dark green, looking grey and dirty.

They are covered with a thin layer of skin from which a disgusting sticky fluid oozes out.

As they move, they leave a wet and messy trail behind them.

They emerged from the houses lining the street and within less than five seconds, hundreds of aliens have leaped and sprinted over a distance of forty meters, nearing the survivors’ team.

“Fire, fire.” The poacher cried hysterically, tightly pulling the trigger of his rifle, spewing orange-red flames from the muzzle, as if that was the only way to vent his fear.

It was not just him, all the newcomers’ faces were deathly pale.

They stared at the aliens, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Even the survivors who had experienced two games like Pang Meiqin and Li Xinlan, faced with the aliens swarming in, also screamed out.

There was no other choice, these monsters were notorious for their ferocity.

The appearance of these creatures usually meant a team wipeout.

The woman in the nightgown subconsciously remembered the gruesome scenes from the four Alien films where humans were massacred.

She immediately wet her pants and her legs gave way, nearly making her fall to the ground.

“Beware of their acid spit.

Watch out for their bladed tails.

Be careful of their secondary jaws.” The man holding the wrench held it tightly, his palms sweaty, and tried his best to breathe steadily.

He bellowed the attack traits of aliens he knew from films and games.

“The most important thing is to not let them get close.”

“No shit.” Zhang Hao also roared aloud, venting his frustration.

This creature was an obvious melee expert, measuring 2.4 meters in height with not an ounce of excess fat on its body.

With each leap, all its muscle groups would stretch out into powerful arches, and the bones sticking out from its skin further emphasized its hardness.

But this wasn’t the most terrifying part.

The front half of its elongated, large head was a sharp mouth, gaping and dripping with highly corrosive acid, always ready to bite off a head.

Its tail, acting like an arm, could extend from any angle, piercing through steel.

Humans were simply fragile in front of it, as vulnerable as a piece of paper.

“Attack, attack, do not let them come over.” The policeman yelled, but he was hiding in the crowd, his eyes darting around.

He was holding an AK74, but he hadn’t fired a single shot.

The male university student fired a few shots, then stopped shooting.

He grabbed his girlfriend’s hand and retreated into the crowd, pushing his body hard, trying to squeeze into the center, letting others act as meat shields for him.

“What are you doing?” Bai Guo was furious, “Don’t screw up the formation.”

“What business is it of yours?” The male university student retorted, still trying to squeeze his way in with contempt.

“Move again, and I’ll kick you out.” Tang Zheng threatened without even turning his head, “Don’t make me repeat myself.”

Upon hearing this cold voice, the male university student finally stopped moving, rolling his eyes in annoyance.

“Why protect this kind of person?

Let’s just escape, we can do it.” The woman in the nightgown cursed and pleaded with Tang Zheng, “If we stay, there’s only death.

There are too many aliens.”

The policeman and the man with the wrench also started to agree.

In this short thirty seconds, it felt like they were living through a century.

If it were not for the gunshots echoing in the street, they would have crumbled and fled long ago.

“Fifteen meters now, full firepower Tang Zheng.” Yin Shangwu noticed Tang Zheng’s orderly firing and secretly praised him for keeping his cool.

Aside from keeping his cool, Tang Zheng also wanted to see what these newcomers’ hearts would reveal in the face of impending death, their performance would affect their status within the team and the way he treated them.

“Only thirty seconds, and you guys are already cracking under pressure, disappointing.” Tang Zheng pulled the trigger, the muzzle of the Thunderstorm Assault Rifle rapidly fired blue spheres of electricity, bombing the rushing aliens, blasting them to pieces.

Due to the proximity, the half a meter radius of the explosion took the adjacent aliens with it.

Tang Zheng swiftly calculated in his mind.

He used the electric spheres to execute a sweeping carpet bombing, clearing out a dozen aliens charging at the front within ten seconds.

Yin Shangwu’s cooperation was not bad, after two of Tang Zheng’s attacks, she understood his plan and started shooting at the aliens outside the range of the electric spheres’ explosions.

The two did not waste or overlap their firepower.

“Good job.” Tang Zheng glanced at Yin Shangwu’s Magnetic Storm Rifle, the damage this heavy gun could inflict was no smaller than his own.

Every time the woman with the long, straight, black hair pulled the trigger, the muzzle would spew a few tens of meters long blue electromagnetic energy, causing the attacked part of the aliens to instantly swell up, explode, and burst into a pile of broken flesh.

“You think everyone is like you?

We are newbies.” The male university student couldn’t stand this kind of sarcasm and complained, “If you give me a gun like yours, I won’t do any worse than you.”

“Zhang Hao, Lin Weiguo, get into the house behind us.

Take up good firing positions, cover the windows.

Yin Shangwu and I will cover you.” Tang Zheng ignored him, it was more important to deal with the approaching aliens first.

“Are you crazy?

What if they trap us in the house?” the male university student objected, suggesting his own plan.

“We should leave the town as soon as possible.

Who knows if this whole place is infested with these creatures.”
