As Johnny suddenly bent down, trying to grab the gun on the ground with her only remaining left hand, the whooshing sound by her ear told her that the opponent's tentacles were also coming.
But, this was exactly what she wanted.
Johnny's hand swept past the gun, she directly dropped her shoulder and rolled on the ground, several rapidly incoming tentacles had already shattered the floor where Johnny had originally been standing.
Just by looking at the fierce force of those tentacles, one could tell what kind of fate Johnny would have suffered if she had really gone to pick up the gun just now.
And at this moment, Johnny, who had rolled once and squatted back up, had already picked up the pistol that had fallen to the ground.
And her muzzle was not aimed at the monster's main body, but rather, at the three tentacles it had shot out.
This is good news.
At the same time, there's also bad news.
That is, after entering its second phase, this Monstrous Figure seemed to have recovered a good deal of its sanity; even when frustrated, it no longer flew into a rage like before.
This made Johnny even more solemn.
Because dealing with an intelligent enemy is far more difficult than dealing with a mindless beast.
And Johnny's conjecture quickly became reality.
Because the green eyes of the Tentacle Monstrous Figure had moved away from her, turning towards the Honeycomb Mercenaries hiding behind corners and pillars.
"Damn it, run!"
Johnny instantly knew what the other party was planning and urgently shouted at the Honeycomb Mercenaries.
But when the tentacles had already shot out, Johnny knew her warning was too late.
Johnny was a complete robot, so she could see and predict the movements of those tentacles, but the Honeycomb Mercenaries didn't have that ability.
The rapid movement of the tentacles was just a blur in their eyes; only when the blur stopped did they realize they had been split in half at the waist by the tentacles.
The situation quickly became one-sided.
In just two or three breaths, the Honeycomb Mercenaries had lost several combatants.
The gunshots had no effect on the Tentacle Monstrous Figure whatsoever.
The tentacles, moving too fast for even bionic eyes to track, caused all bullets aimed at them to miss, while attacks on the Tentacle Monstrous Figure's main body were rendered futile by its rapid regenerative ability.
Yes, regenerative ability.
Johnny finally figured out why this inhuman monster wasn't afraid of bullets.
Because it had no bulletproof capabilities at all; rifle rounds easily punched holes through its body, passing straight through and hitting the wall behind.
However, the holes made by the bullets would quickly regenerate, like memory metal.
Head, chest, abdomen—it was the same everywhere.
This guy had no weaknesses.
Unless, unless it was some kind of high-powered weapon.
Perhaps it could exceed this guy's regenerative threshold and truly injure the opponent.
"Hurry, go get some heavy weapons! I'll hold it off here!"
After understanding everything, Johnny shouted, firing several shots in quick succession at the guy's face.
She had to attract this guy's attention, otherwise, all the Mercenaries here would be dead soon.
Damn it.
Why had no one noticed here yet?
Why was there still no backup?
Johnny gritted her teeth and persisted, feeling a bit annoyed.
