Hearing the call for help from the communication and the violent gunshots outside the casino, Kolax immediately waved his hand and ordered:
"Class 1 and 2 stay here to protect the survivors, Shadow Team come with me"
"Yes"
The two classes Marine Corps received the instructions and immediately protected these numerous survivors.
And Kolax led the four shadows Sparta, rushed out of the vault, counter room, casino hall, and went straight to the corridor outside the casino.
Open the door and come outside.
I saw the three classes Marine Corps who were left behind, holding Pulse Rifle and firing indiscriminately at the surrounding areas. Some Caseless Ammunition even accidentally shot the Shadow Team who came to support.
"Buzz"
Fortunately, pia Power Armor's Energy Shield responded and resisted these sporadic stray bullets, ensuring the safety of Spartans.
Immediately afterwards, Kolax saw the target that Marine Corps were attacking.
They are a group of tentacles nearly two meters thick, with mucus-covered skin and creamy yellow barbed bones.
Moreover, some of these tentacles squeezed through the ventilation ducts, and some came from the bottom deck, so it was impossible to measure their actual length.
"Papa"
"Boom boom"
Accompanied by the crisp gunfire of Pulse Series, Caseless Explosive Rounds hit these abnormally terrifying tentacles, and its explosion immediately caused blood and flesh to fly to these tentacles.
"Hiss"
The tips of these tentacles have four-petal mouths that open and close. After being hit by Caseless Explosive Rounds, they will let out painful wails like pythons.
But this failed to slow down the tentacles' attack or make them spit out the Marine Corps in their mouths.
That's right, these tentacles didn't care about the Mechanical Skeleton outside Marine Corps, and simply swallowed it in one gulp.
A Marine Corps seemed to be tripped by a tentacle, with its legs facing inward and its head facing outwards, and was swallowed into the tentacle's mouth.
Therefore, this Marine Corps grabbed the two lips of the tentacle's mouth with both hands. After seeing Kolax and Shadow Team arriving, he called for help with great difficulty:
"Lieutenant, help me"
"Crack"
But before Marine Corps could finish speaking, many bone spurs protruded from the tentacle's mouth, directly piercing Marine Corps's armor and combat uniform, and forcefully swallowed Marine Corps.
It seems that in the face of absolute power and size, no matter how high-tech the protective equipment is, it will only end up being slaughtered.
And when Marine Corps was completely swallowed, the tentacle's mouth spit out some armor and Mechanical Skeleton residue, as well as hot blood flowing out.
This means that Marine Corps has completely lost the possibility of survival.
"Draft?"
Seeing that Marine Corps, who was always brave and skillful in fighting no matter what the enemy faced, died in such an aggrieved and painful way, Kolax, who didn't like to show his emotions at all, immediately roared.
He raised Gauss Submachine Gun with his left hand, held the Beam Saber sword hilt with his right hand, rushed towards the tentacle that killed Marine Corps, and ordered:
"Shadow Team, kill all these tentacles and prevent them from being contained."
"Yes"
After receiving the instruction, Shadow Team, like their captain, immediately supported Marine Corps and fought against the tentacles of this group of unknown creatures.
Especially Kolax, his left index finger directly squeezed the trigger, allowing Gauss Submachine Gun, which was already shooting at a very fast rate, to fully unleash its firepower.
"Ta-ta-ta"
"Puff puff puff"
"Boom~Boom~"
The white phosphorus Spike Rounds head easily penetrates the skin of the tentacle, and after the warhead detects that it has been injected into the target's body, it will instantly detonate the white phosphorus it carries.
"Hiss"
Burned by the unquenchable flames, the tentacle began to struggle violently, as if the flames caused it far more pain than the small explosion caused by Pulse Rifle.
"Swish, puff, puff~"
When this tentacle tried to escape, it was cut horizontally by the Kolax special model Beam Saber, and dark red blood splashed all over the floor.
At the same time, the other four shadows saw Marine Corps suffering heavy casualties, and they were all furious.
Moreover, the shadows, like their captain, held a gun in one hand and their own melee weapons in the other to kill these tentacles.
Beam Saber, Shock Dagger, and other melee weapons slash wildly, perfectly following the orders of Kolax
Not allowed to be taken into custody.
The shadows can only use this method to avenge those Marine Corps members who died tragically.
Spartans's reaction speed was fully utilized when dealing with this group of tentacles, and the balance of the battle was immediately tilted towards the human side.
Within tens of seconds, the heads of these tentacles were destroyed or cut off directly by Marine Corps and Shadow Team.
But their tails could still move freely, and they quickly fled the corridor, and the severed tissue was still beating violently.
Seeing this, Kolax gradually regained his composure and did not give any order for Shadow Team and Marine Corps to continue the pursuit.
He turned to look at the participating Marine Corps members and said quietly, "Report the situation."
"Two members of the third squad were killed and no one was injured."
"Four members of the fourth squad were killed, including the squad leader and deputy squad leader."
"Two members of Squad Five were killed and no one was injured."
Eight people died.
In just one encounter, those tentacles killed half of the Marine Corps members. If not for the assistance of Sparta, the fate of the eighteen Marine Corps members would have been the complete destruction of the entire army.
This side proves that the troops sent by Philippines, as well as the four special teams, were definitely killed by those tentacles.
"Lieutenant"
At this time, a corporal slowly approached Kolax, looked at the head of the tentacle that was still beating on the ground, and begged in a tone of deep disgust:
"Please apply for Darwin to carry out artillery strikes and destroy this cruise ship and those snake-like Tentacle Monsters together."
"Calm down, Corporal."
Kolax did not agree to the corporal's request, but slowly turned around and walked back to the casino, and ordered:
"We found a group of survivors, which shows that there may be other surviving humans on this cruise ship. I can understand your feelings, but the safety of ordinary people must be the first priority."
"This" the corporal stared at the heads of the tentacles, clenched his fist in his right hand, then loosened his fingers and nodded:
"Yes, Lieutenant."
"Very good." Kolax, who had returned to the casino, ordered the four Shadow Team:
"Shadow stays here to assist Marine Corps in defense. I'm going to ask about the status of the survivors."
"Yes."
The four shadows stayed outside the casino to help the remaining ten Marine Corpss be alert to their movements and prevent the group of Tentacle Monsters from attacking again.
Although Marine Corps, the two classes responsible for guarding the survivors in the vault, did not know the specific situation outside, they could guess that their colleagues suffered heavy casualties.
But even so, the Marine Corps members of the first and second classes still ensure the safety of the survivors.
After all, ever since their boss William realized something, he changed his policy at all costs to protecting ordinary people affected by abnormal phenomena as much as possible.
