"This is Falcon-I, and it has reached the target area. ”

"Roger, this is Falcon-II. Falcon-I, turn on the radio life detection device. ”

"Roger. Turn on the radio life detection device. ”

The fusiform fuselage, the door frame with the rear opening was heavy on the machine gun. Ring-shaped vortex air accelerators on both sides of the fuselage danced under folded waves of air, emitting a piercing hum. Inside the cabin are soldiers armed to the teeth, and the pitch-black power armor is loaded with terrifying individual heavy weapons. The PAC symbol looms on the side of the right arm, but it has been almost worn away, replaced by the Willow Ding Town badge painted below the logo.

Yunzhi-51, an amphibious transport helicopter installed by PAC in 2153, is mainly in service with the South China Sea Fleet, a powerful beach-rushing landing transport equipment. However, in the post-war period, such a thing as a beach landing is no longer useful.

Two pitch-black helicopters were horizontally spaced at a distance of kilometers, hovering one over the other.

Wang Shiwu looked at the unknown bacteria density indicator on the outside of the power armor, and then looked in the direction of the building outside the helicopter window, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Sure enough, this is it. ”

"The life forms match, and the target is in the building. Falcon-I requests an attack. ”

"No. Wang Shiwu stared cautiously at the building, and then activated the long-range communication module of the power armor, "This is the Black Cavalry Squad, which has reached the top of the target creature, and the ontology information is unknown, requesting naval artillery support." ”

"The command received, approved the shelling. ”

The price of a direct attack was too great, and he didn't even see the target itself, and Wang Shiwu didn't dare to joke with the lives of his comrades, so he cautiously chose to request artillery support.

At the very least, expose the subject's body first.

"Falcon-I, Falcon-II, the shelling will arrive in 1 minute, please rise in height. ”

"Roger. "Roger. ”

The two helicopters began to climb in altitude to avoid unnecessary accidental injuries. The glow of the sunrise left a dim path on the radioactive fallout, and the disgusting yellow-green particles permeated the exterior of the building. From the outside, the whole area looks like a cloudy egg, and the building is its yolk.

What exactly is hidden in the building?

Wang Shiwu frowned, staring at the muddy round egg.

Why did the elite troops of Liuding Town appear on the edge of the city 30 kilometers away? This has to start with the combat meeting two days ago.

Bohai aircraft carrier, conning tower, conference room.

"There is an anomalous life signal in the area (412,151), and our scientists can't figure out what it is, but its subcrystalline energy index has reached 90,141 points, well above the 300 threshold. Now that it is within the range of our strike. So in order to curb its further evolution, and to recover the subcrystals, I need you to kill this thing. Do you understand!" The middle-aged man in the old PAC officer's uniform stood in front of the holographic map with his hands in his hands, and ordered his subordinates.

"Yes, sir. ”

Soldiers in military uniforms shouted in unison. They were all wearing PAC's Marine Corps uniforms, but only to the extent that they were worn.

"Then the meeting is dissolved!"

"Yes!"

Radio life detection devices are one of the more commonly used devices in this wasteland. According to research, the life signals emitted by each type of life are divided into sections, and the frequency of such signals can be detected at a distance through special radio waves. It was used as a reconnaissance device during the war, a search and rescue device after the war, and a civilian device in the last days

Humans are not the only ones who can be detected, life signals of any frequency and wavelength are recorded on an electronic screen like radar. This life signal is generally proportional to the life energy, and in general, the life signal of mutated organisms is much more frequent than the life signal of humans. Measuring the theoretical value of subcrystalline content in living organisms through the frequency of life signals is a technology developed after the war, and it is basically available in large survivor bases.

After recording an unnatural life signal, the nearby survivor base will generally choose to take the initiative. Because if you let mutated creatures grow, it is an extremely unstable thing. All mutations are random, and there's no guarantee that anything strange won't evolve.

The evolution of a species, which used to take tens of thousands of years to complete, may take only a few days in a nuclear bomb crater. Maybe the poor worm that evolved only vomited, or maybe it evolved into a dangerous mutated behemoth.

Creatures with more than 300 subcrystalline energy points are collectively referred to as extreme mutant creatures.

However, that doesn't mean it's powerful.

Different from dangerous species with strong combat power between 40-300 subcrystalline energy, in terms of danger, extreme mutated creatures are easier to deal with than dangerous species in most cases. For example, just like human beings, a person who weighs 100 pounds may indeed not be able to beat 200 pounds, after all, the weight class is not in the same grade. But what about people who weigh 500 pounds, what about people who weigh 1 ton? I'm afraid that they all belong to the category of disabled people, and it is already very difficult to maintain their own life activities.

In the same way, mutated creatures with more than 300 subcrystalline energy belong to the "disabled" kind of monsters. Under the influence of radiation and other factors, the life energy is endlessly expanded due to coincidental mutations. However, bloated energy does not necessarily bring bloated lethality, everything has a degree, once it passes, it will become a burden.

The town of Liudin has had similar long-range strikes before. The target is an unidentified creature that has skyrocketed to more than 110,000 subcrystals.

However, when the Marines landed, they were met with nothing more than a pack of ghouls and large pieces of flesh being bitten by the ghouls.

And it's a lump of meat that fills half the street.

The helpless Marines had no choice but to call for naval gun fire, blasting the pile of rotten flesh to pieces, and then took the energy detector to find the half-human-tall subcrystal, and dragged it back by helicopter. As for the pieces of meat, they were not able to be recovered because they had attracted a large number of ghouls entrenched in the vicinity. Otherwise, it is also a good choice to make a nutritional mixture of those organic substances

That's right, this extremely mutated creature is usually garbage, and for economic reasons, it's much easier to hunt down such a big man than to deal with things like Deathclaw and Roshan.

This is also the real reason that drives these selfish guys to drive force to exterminate mutant creatures, otherwise who would be idle and send troops out?

Now, Wang Shiwu is facing this kind of thing.

Although the soldiers under his command began to mumble quietly, they should go back to take a shower after cleaning up early, after all, the power armor is very hot. But Wang Shiwu still faintly felt that something was wrong, so he cautiously chose to follow the shelling procedure.

The Falcon-I, flying in front, turned on the laser range, providing accurate firing directions for the naval guns in Liuding.

"Prepare for the bombardment, raise the battery! Quick!" several men in overalls busily manipulated the equipment in their hands. The deck on the side of the bow slowly cracked, and the barrel of more than ten meters long gradually rose.

Streamlined and narrow shell, this extra-long barreled cannon has a resounding name - electromagnetic cannon,

"The straight-line distance is 310203 meters, the target thickness determination is 10kg mass projectile, the elevation angle is 47°, and the kinetic energy is set"

A technician holding a tablet enters settings ten meters from the turret. The Bohai's fire control system was damaged by the EMP generated by the nuclear explosion long before the war, and after the survivors repaired the fixed guns and other equipment, the fire control line was directly connected to the nearby terminal separately, and the fire was fired through close operation.

The technician pressed the [Fire] button.

A dazzling blue light filled the barrel, and the high-density electric current emitted a short, piercing hum.

There was no explosion.

Only the first sound of a cannonball breaking through the sound barrier was heard, and then only a pale trail could be seen crashing into the sky.

The reaction force acting on the electromagnetic guide rails caused the ten-meter-long barrel to move back slightly, and the liquid cooling unit rose hot steam. A slight ripple rippled at the back of the hull, imperceptibly submerging into the waves.

Flat-headed shells swirled in the air at high speed. The special device inside the shell operates with the residual current in the capacitor, creating a brief vacuum layer around the shell, completely erasing the sound barrier.

It is not until a kilometer closer to the target that this brief vacuum effect is lifted.

A special coating on the surface began to burn, and the front width of the projectile began to increase slightly.

Trailing a red trajectory, the columnar projectile slammed into the belly of the target building like an iron fist.

－

A sonic boom spread out at the same time as a violent explosion, and the cannonballs pierced through the building and embedded themselves in the ground in an instant.

As if being toppled by a large hand, the entire building collapsed backwards like an avalanche. The shells left a passage several meters in diameter in the middle of the circular floating.

"A direct hit. Nice shot. ”

"Target's shell exposed, what's that!

"Falcon-II, please answer what happened!Falcon-I"

"Falling, falling, call for help" (busy)

Spreading out of the smoke was a giant hand, no, a cannon to be exact.

The dark red energy converges and then releases.

The red beam drew a straight line from the sky, piercing the clouds.

The rays did not directly hit any of the helicopters. However, it paralyzed all electronic devices in the entire airspace that was passed by the rays

【Warning!EMP Strike】

The power armor's electromagnetic shield opened in an instant, hedging against the manic current. However, due to the passive opening, almost all the instruments and equipment of the power armor suffered varying degrees of damage.

Because the electromagnetic shield is turned on, the communication signal is naturally shielded as well.

"Damn!EMP!Jump!" turned on the speaker, Wang Shiwu roared wildly, stabilized his body in the violently rotating fuselage, and then ran towards the hatch with heavy steps, and then jumped out of the cabin vigorously.

The power armor structure is relatively compact, and the coverage of the equipment against EMP is relatively concentrated, and after only a brief failure, all the electronic components hesitate to return to normal. However, the two helicopters were not so lucky, as the high-energy EMP instantly penetrated its electromagnetic shielding defenses and burned most of its electronic equipment.

Wang Shiwu gritted his teeth and stared at the giant flesh-red "cannon barrel".

What is that? Creature can also unleash EMP? and destroy Yunzhi-51 without a direct hit

【Slow Descending Device Activation】

Seeing the clear big words on the screen of the electronic helmet, Wang Shiwu breathed a sigh of relief.

The knees, waists, and shoulders cracked in the gaps in the armor, and the small vortex engines hidden under the metal casing spewed blue tail flames. Wang Shiwu only felt his whole body tighten suddenly, and then he regained the sense of gravity and landed on the ground at a uniform speed.

Straight through the muddy round egg, the heavily armed Power Armored soldiers landed heavily on the ground in turn.

"Variant bacteria, density index: 97. Damn, what the hell is it? "The voices of comrades-in-arms came from the public channel.

"Be vigilant! Make sure the equipment is sealed, these floating bacteria give me a sense of foreboding. Wang Shiwu checked the air filtration equipment and found that these bacteria were unexpectedly troublesome, and only after a while there was a layer of paste outside the filter port.

The bacteria had reached the point where they had become visible clumps, and the yellow-green form was disgusting.

Do you want to withdraw first?

However, the thought was fleeting, and he felt compelled to find out what that terrible barrel was.

Moreover, the helicopter has been destroyed, even if Liuding Town sends reinforcements, it is not clear that this dangerous thing will be dropped,

"Pay attention to the filter port usually, prepare to attack!"

"Understood. ”

Just in case, Wang Shiwu cautiously sent the footage he had previously taken back to headquarters, then switched out the machine gun mounted on his arm and pushed forward with his teammates.

There is no signal from the headquarters, so is it possible that these bacteria still have the effect of communication shielding?

Possibly, after all, the ray just now produced the effect of EMP. There is reason to believe that these bacteria are related to that unnatural barrel.

No, there is a problem!

Normally, this extremely mutated creature would attract xenos to eat, however, this guy didn't even have a mutant mouse nearby!

It's so unusual!

It's to say that something is wrong!

Just when Wang Shiwu was shocked by his discovery, suddenly, his teammates next to him exclaimed.

"Damn, what's that?!"

Wang Shiwu immediately looked upward, only to see that the flesh-red biological cannon barrel was filled with energy again.

There is nothing in the sky, what is it going to shoot?

"Fire at it!

There was no time to think, Wang Shiwu gave the order to attack with intuition.

Da Da !

The 12 Power Armor soldiers fired a volley of fire into the flesh-red barrel, weaving a dense web of fire. No one knows if the bullets are effective or not, but at the moment there is no better way than to vent firepower.

At a distance of 500 meters, it is well within the effective range of the machine-gun module. The leaping flames made every expression under the mask hideous, and the high-speed rotating triangular barrel spewed frantically with terrifying tongues of fire.

Suddenly, the half-building-tall flesh-red barrel shrank suddenly, and the momentum of charging seemed to stop.

Wang Shiwu was overjoyed, it seemed that the firepower coverage still had an effect on this monster.

However, there is another explanation for the suppression of charges.

That is, the energy is already full.

In the midst of a horrified gaze, the flesh-red barrel exploded.

And the diffuse red light engulfed the entire area, and the diffused arc waves swept everything within a radius of several kilometers, calming all the hustle and bustle

Several flesh-red "lumps" shot into the distance with the help of the explosion

"Falcon-I, Falcon-II, Black Ride offline. ”

"Life signal changes! Target splits!"

The face of the commander standing in the command room was covered in gloom, and the eagle-like gaze was fixed on the holographic screen in the air.

I saw that the symbol of the 90141 subcrystalline point had disappeared, and was replaced by 12 divided lifeforms with uneven energy, spreading out in all directions.

The mission failed.

It wasn't the 12 combatants and the 4 pilots that distressed the commander that could be "produced" as many as they needed under the virtual reality training system.

However, the total price of the two Yunzhi-51 and 12 sets of MAX-I power armor is as high as 220,000 subcrystals.

It was a disaster.

As for what effect those strange creatures will have on this wasteland, nothing is yet known;
