The tunnel stank of hot rot and sewage, but all I could smell was adrenaline. The mutant crawled into the chamber.
For now, let's call it: 'Boss Mutant.'
Its massive body scraping flesh and bone from the walls. A single swipe of its tail splattered a Stage 2 across the bricks.
My HUD struggled to lock onto its shape.
Red name, skull marks and danger flashing.
The monster was covered in overlapping plates of bone and yellowed scales, each as thick as my forearm. Dozens of red eyes glimmered above a maw of broken, mismatched teeth and steaming breath hotter than an engine block.
Yifei and Roulan opened fire without waiting for orders.
Type-9Ks chattered, tungsten rounds slamming into its chest and neck. The bullets sparked and ricocheted, not even scratching the plates. Yifei swapped mags and kept firing while Roulan cursed about the waste of bullets.
"This bastard is tough!"
"Sister Roulan, the gun is useless!"
No damage at all.
