Furthermore, sometimes the Tyrant would use the huge claw on its right arm to bat the grenade away. Although the intense collision would cause the grenade to explode prematurely, it still took time to react. Therefore, during this explosion delay, the grenade had already flown some distance, so even if it exploded, it wouldn’t cause much damage to the Prototype Tyrant.
Zhang Yanhang could understand why the Prototype Tyrant was capable of catching grenades or batting them away, despite its extremely low intelligence level. After all, it was a biological weapon developed by the Umbrella company, so the Umbrella company would definitely equip them with knowledge on how to counter modern thermal weapons.
Moreover, not only did they learn to counter modern thermal weapons, but in the later stages, they would even train Tyrants to use modern thermal weapons against their enemies.
For instance, a Second Tier Second Star level Lord Monster Tracker based on the T-103 Tyrant model was equipped with plenty of thermal weapons like rocket launchers, flame throwers, and machine guns.
Of course, given the strength of the T-103 Tyrant, these modern thermal weapons just played a decorative role, mainly used to bully the weak, as in games and movies, the T-103 was capable of flipping a main battle tank with its bare hands.
Thus, due to this level of strength, light thermal weapons only allowed the T-103 Tyrant to increase its slaughter speed and efficiency. Against a similarly powered opponent, these light weapons were essentially useless.
Later on, Zhang Yanhang also learned from these previous failures; before throwing grenades, he would instinctively count down, ensuring that the grenades would explode immediately in front of the Prototype Tyrant, leaving no time for it to bat them away, otherwise, the grenade would be wasted.
A series of intense explosions came from ahead, and two Prototype Tyrants at the center of the explosions lay motionless on the ground. Moreover, several other Prototype Tyrants around them were severely injured, and even those on the outer perimeter had varying degrees of injuries, as it was eight grenades that exploded simultaneously, achieving such results was within expectations.

"18 Prototype Tyrants left, just go all out." Zhang Yanhang took out an M4A1 rifle with a Beta C-Mag drum magazine from his Waist Bag and began spraying bullets at the crowd of Prototype Tyrants in front of him.
Accompanied by the firing of bullets, a fiery glow continuously appeared at the muzzle, the rifle bullets punched holes into the Prototype Tyrants, but failed to stop their advance. They still roared and charged rapidly towards Zhang Yanhang. After all one hundred bullets were fired, Zhang Yanhang had only managed to kill two already severely injured Prototype Tyrants.

Zhang Yanhang was actually targeting the badly injured Prototype Tyrants at the innermost side, but unfortunately, other Prototype Tyrants blocked some of the bullets. Although his Gun Master skill enhanced his shooting precision, his bullets still couldn’t turn corners, as that fell under the category of Gunfighting Skill.
So, when the outer Prototype Tyrants used their bodies to shield the inner Prototype Tyrants, Zhang Yanhang could only shoot at the outer Prototype Tyrants first.
Thus, at least half of Zhang Yanhang’s bullets hit the outer Prototype Tyrants, and only a small portion of his bullets hit the inner Prototype Tyrants and successfully killed two of them.
"If only I could make bullets turn corners just by twitching my wrist, that would be great. Unfortunately, I don’t have the Gunfighting Skill." If Zhang Yanhang could make his bullets turn corners, perhaps he could have killed all the critically injured Prototype Tyrants inside.
Having just emptied one magazine, Zhang Yanhang was replacing it when the Prototype Tyrant already reached him. Zhang Yanhang thrust his M4A1 rifle into his Waist Bag and immediately imbued his right fist with Spiritual Energy before striking it directly onto the head of a Prototype Tyrant.
This Prototype Tyrant, already affected by the grenade damage and shot multiple times, had its head shattered by Zhang Yanhang’s Rising Dragon Fist. Red blood filled with a putrid scent, along with a significant amount of brain tissue and fragments of shattered skull, splattered in all directions.
But at this moment, Zhang Yanhang was surrounded by Prototype Tyrants. Before he could even withdraw his fist, four claws from different Tyrants immediately struck towards his head, but fortunately, he had already switched his Energy Shield to an external display state.
Tanking four Death Claws at once, Zhang Yanhang’s shield value, which had just raised to a limit of a thousand points, instantly dropped by 60%. Facing the onslaught from the Prototype Tyrants, he felt like a small boat rocking uncertainly in a storm, possibly about to perish at any moment.
"Expand!" Zhang Yanhang commanded, making the externally displayed Energy Shield immediately expand into a spherical shape to push away the surrounding Prototype Tyrants. After creating a gap, Zhang Yanhang controlled the Energy Shield to shrink back and took this opportunity to slip through the gap and then he ran without looking back.
Yes, Zhang Yanhang simply ran. This had been his tactic all along: sneak attacks, killing a few at a time, and repeating until the number of monsters was reduced to a level that did not pose a significant threat, at which point he would directly charge and annihilate the monster group.
But now, it wasn’t the right moment for a face-to-face confrontation, especially as he had just killed five Prototype Tyrants, but fifteen others remained, and his Energy Shield could only withstand three more Death Claws before breaking.
And after it broke? The remaining Prototype Tyrants would certainly teach him a harsh lesson, and after the lesson, generously offer him a free opportunity for reincarnation.
If possible, Zhang Yanhang would actually prefer to deal with these Prototype Tyrants from a distance, because the risk of being suddenly killed after being surrounded by them was too great. Just a few swipes, and his Shield would be gone, but there weren’t enough grenades and rocket launchers available.
