I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 957: Giant Crocodile's Sneak Attack

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they finished their meal. The sun was still emitting scorching heat, baking the soldiers under the shade of the trees and making them miserable.

If it weren't for the strong moisture that took away some of the heat, I'm afraid many soldiers would have suffered from heatstroke at the end of the day.

Even so, the long period of vigilance and the heat still made the soldiers lose their spirits. The whole camp was silent and boring.

"Phew, the crocodile is very smart. With so many of us and so aggressive, I'm afraid it won't come ashore for a while."

Qin Zhong sighed helplessly, turned his gaze to You Keliang, and asked, "Major General You, we don't know where the giant crocodile is now. How about you go in the water and look for it first?"

"The reservoir is so large, I'm afraid I won't be able to find any trace of the giant crocodile even if I search for it all day long."

You Keliang shook his head. Although he was confident that his water combat ability was unmatched, the giant crocodile's water combat ability must be strong as well. If he dived into the water without any preparation to look for the giant crocodile, wouldn't that give the giant crocodile a chance to sneak attack him in the water?

Therefore, he firmly believed that he would never take the risk of going into the water unless he saw the giant crocodile.

"Okay, it's so hot here. I'll go to the top of the dam and take a look." After waiting for a long time, the mutant giant crocodile still didn't appear. Qin Zhong became a little impatient. He spread his wings and flew towards the towering dam.

I haven't really appreciated the dam of this hydroelectric power station yet. Since I have nothing to do now, I might as well take a good look at it.

After all, overlooking from the top of the upper reservoir dam, the beautiful scenery of the "high mountain sky lake" set against the backdrop of peaks and tea fields is not something you can easily see.

The entire hydropower station, viewed from above, was a truly magnificent sight. After admiring the stunning scenery of the lake and mountains for a while, Qin Zhong slowly folded his wings and descended toward the crest of the dam.

But when he was halfway down, a huge dead tree on the lake caught his attention.

This piece of dead wood is very large, and looks to be at least twenty meters long. The surface of the huge trunk is an oily black color that has been soaked by water.

At this moment, two lamp-like lights suddenly lit up at the front of the tree trunk. The murderous intent and naked hunger contained in them made Qin Zhong tremble all over and shudder involuntarily.

This is not a dead tree, it is clearly the mutant giant crocodile!

"Boom...Wow!" Just as Qin Zhong was shocked, the giant crocodile in the water attacked him.

Accompanied by a huge roar, the giant crocodile's legs and long tail suddenly exerted force, slapped the water with its huge tail, and supported its body to fly high into the sky.

At the same time, the giant crocodile opened its bloody mouth and bit Qin Zhong fiercely.

"Congeal!"

Looking at the bloody crocodile's mouth rushing towards him, Qin Zhong immediately shouted softly, and his hands condensed into silver spears. While flapping his wings violently, he fired four shots at the giant crocodile's head.

"Boom boom boom!"

After a huge roar, four bullets wrapped in flames broke away from the huge silver muzzle and blasted towards the giant crocodile's head.

Qin Zhong also used the recoil of the gunshot and the power of his wings to accelerate his ascent, turning into a ray of silver light and flying rapidly into the sky.

"Snapped!"

With a muffled sound, the giant crocodile's bloody mouth suddenly closed less than two meters away from Qin Zhong's feet.

Feeling the strong wind coming from the soles of his feet, Qin Zhong felt a little scared. You know, the bite force of a crocodile is extremely strong, let alone this giant crocodile that mutated in the apocalypse.

If bitten by it, even Qin Zhong would probably not feel good.

However, at this moment, the four bullets fired by Qin Zhong also hit the crocodile's head simultaneously.

But because he was in a hurry, Qin Zhong did not concentrate on controlling the bullets, and the power of the four bullets did not add up, nor did they hit the crocodile's vital points. Instead, they only penetrated into its long crocodile mouth, shooting out four dark red blood flowers.

……

"Boom!" After a loud roar, the giant crocodile fell heavily into the water from the air, quickly dived and disappeared.

Because the incident happened suddenly, You Keling, who heard the roar from a distance, had no time to go into the water and lost sight of the giant crocodile.

Qin Zhong felt a sinking feeling in his heart as he watched the giant crocodile fleeing away immediately after missing its first strike like a killer.

This giant crocodile is too cunning. Unlike ordinary mutant beasts, it will fight to the death even if it knows it cannot win. Instead, it is so cunning that it will immediately escape after suffering only a minor injury.

Such a giant monster is obviously much more difficult to deal with than other monsters, not to mention that the combat power of the giant crocodile itself is not comparable to that of ordinary mutant beasts!

After returning to the camp, Qin Zhong looked very bad. Judging from the sudden attack of the giant crocodile, the strength, reaction and cunning of this ferocious beast were far beyond his expectations.

The power of Qin Zhong, who could leap out of the water like an arrow soaring into the sky just by slapping the water with his giant tail, was truly terrifying.

"Brother Qin, what happened just now? Did that giant crocodile appear?"

As soon as Qin Zhong returned to the camp, he found that the entire camp was in chaos. All the soldiers picked up their weapons and were alert in all directions to deal with the terrifying giant crocodile that might appear at any time.

Looking at Qin Zhong slowly landing on the ground, Xiao Yingyong, Lan Ziqing, Wang Yue, Yang Han and others quickly surrounded him and asked with concern on their faces.

"Yes, he showed up, but he was very cunning. After his sneak attack failed, he immediately dived away."

Qin Zhong nodded and said solemnly, "It's even more cunning than we imagined. Its defense, speed, and strength are all very strong. Everyone, be careful these days. I have a feeling that the giant crocodile will come again!"

"Don't worry, no one dares to be careless when it comes to their lives."

Qin Zhong's words made Lan Ziqing, Xiao Yingyong and others look at each other in surprise, secretly shocked. Although they had only caught a glimpse from a distance just now, they also saw the giant crocodile's extremely huge body.

To be honest, if the giant crocodile attacks forcefully, although it will be destroyed in the end, Qin Zhong will also pay a heavy price.

Therefore, in order to minimize casualties, Lan Ziqing, Xiao Yingyong, Wang Yue, Yang Han and others secretly vowed to improve the defense of the current camp before the crocodile attack.

"Well, Major General You, you've seen it too. Are you confident you can handle it in the water?"

After instructing Lan Ziqing and the others, Qin Zhong turned his gaze to You Keliang and asked seriously, "Let me be clear, I don't have anyone here who's good at water combat. If a fight breaks out, you'll have to deal with the giant crocodile once it enters the water. So, if you're unsure, we can retreat now, return to a safe area, and then think of another way to deal with this giant crocodile."

"This giant crocodile is indeed very strong. It will be difficult to deal with it in the water, but it should be no problem."

You Keliang nodded. Although he spoke confidently, his face was still solemn. "If your troops can inflict some damage on the giant crocodile on the shore, then I will have a better chance of dealing with it in the water."

"Don't worry about that. Once the giant crocodile comes ashore, there's no way it can get back."

Hearing You Keliang's words, Qin Zhong smiled slightly. "In fact, if the giant crocodile had no other abilities, we might be able to kill it on the shore, and perhaps Major General You wouldn't have to take the risk of going into the water."
