The source of the germ appears to be a deep pit, located just in the middle of the open space in front of the district hospital. Due to the high density, the bacteria stick to each other into almost visible clumps, filling the round egg-shaped area with an eerie and dangerous yellow-green color.

In this regard, Jiang Chen's strategy method is also very simple and rude.

He deployed survivors to pull a 1,000-metre-diameter improvised fence around the rooftops of the surrounding houses, which happens to be the limit where the density of bacteria exceeds the limits of human immunity. They were instructed to stay 2,000 meters away from the center of the area, wait until the explosion sounded, and then quickly move to the combat position.

He then directed another wave of survivors to set up a one-time launch base on a roof in twelve different directions 2,000 meters away from the center, and deployed a high-energy vacuum bomb two thigh-thick on it.

The zombies that came from time to time all fell under the cover of crossfire on the roof of the building, and Jiang Chen did not skimp at all, and opened the general ammunition supply in the infantry vehicle to all the survivors.

All the collected crystals are temporarily stored in the infantry vehicle in the form of bookkeeping, and the captains of each squad come back to retrieve their share after the battle. For the post-war settlement of the consumed ammunition, Jiang Chen only charges 50% of the fee, according to the market price of the sixth block. After all, this is a common war.

The infantry vehicles stopped on the main road and opened fire on the zombies that were coming sporadically under the unknown traction.

The closer you get to the source of the fungus, the stronger the zombie's combat power becomes, which is reflected in the running and reaction speed. However, no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than bullets, and the marksmanship of these survivors is also unexpectedly good, and there is basically no melee combat with zombies.

"Prepare for a assault. Sun Jiao took a deep breath and said in the public channel, then looked at Jiang Chen.

"Roger. ”

A hearty smile crossed the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth, and then he took out the launch terminal of the high-energy vacuum bomb from the back of the infantry vehicle.

【

Launch angle: 75 °

Launch horizontal distance: 1300 meters

Initiate.

】

"Burn me!" Jiang Chen pressed [Start] fiercely.

In the distance, twelve missiles with white tails rose and arced towards the round egg-shaped airspace filled with fungus.

When the horizontal distance of the shell from the launch base reaches 1200 meters.

A dazzling white light lit up the airspace, and then a deafening explosion nearly shook the ground.

The highly concentrated fuel, which draws out all oxygen from the area almost instantaneously, burns every inch of the airspace relentlessly. No matter how stubborn the strain is, there is no way to survive in the scorching heat that can almost melt steel.

When billowing smoke replaces the flora. All that was left was a scorched hot earth and air.

Even if you stand 2,000 meters away, the uneven heat and cold waves can be faintly noticed.

"Activate the glide stance!Rush in, hurry!" Sun Jiao shouted on the public channel, and then took the lead in raising the machine gun in her right hand. Heroically rushed out.

Lines of pitch-black power armor burst through the billowing smoke and swooped down toward the target area.

The bacteria were burned, and even the unknown bacteria in the nearby area were blown away from the place under the shock wave of the explosion.

Gotta get rid of the bacteria before they re-produce bacteria to cover the place!

A distance of 2,000 meters is only a matter of ten seconds for the T-3 with its engines fully turned on.

And yet at this moment. The mutation happened suddenly.

The erratic current tone instantly took over the communication channel.

"What's going on!

“EMP？！”

The public channel was busy, and the electromagnetic shield forcibly triggered by the power armor was activated in an instant, countering the EMP and blocking all communication signals.

However, under this sudden EMP interference, all electronic devices fell into a temporary paralysis. The most terrible thing was the impact on the armor balance system, and the people who were advancing at high speed immediately staggered around, or fell out directly.

"Brake quickly, turn off the power system!" The electronic communication was blocked, and Sun Jiao directly turned on the speaker and shouted.

"Damn! Lao Tzu's power control system has broken down!" Jiang Chen watched as he broke into the thick fog, then rushed through the terrifying pit, and then slammed into the district hospital.

Cement blocks and glass shards shattered to the ground.

The strong impact causes the physical safety device to trigger. Forcibly shutting down all the vortex engines, Jiang Chen, who was dizzy from the crash, struggled to get up from the gravel floor, he only felt that his ribs were about to be knocked out of place.

Although power armor is generally capable of fighting EMP, short-term effects are inevitable unless the electromagnetic shield is actively opened beforehand, rather than passively triggered.

But who would have thought of running into EMP here?

Suddenly, Jiang Chen's heart was alarmed, and he reflexively raised his left hand.

Ping--!

The slamming sensation was accompanied by a tooth-aching grinding sound, and the sharp blade was even embedded in the thickened plastic steel armor at the armguards.

The scimitar-like fangs opened and closed fiercely, eyes full of murder and bloodthirstiness

One of the most terrifying melee creatures in the wasteland, Deathclaw.

Frightened, Jiang Chen reacted in an instant. Kicked out with a slam of the foot. However, the firm chest of the dead claw directly took the forward kick of about a ton of force, and swung down with another claw fiercely, like a decapitating knife and axe, straight to the fragile neck of the prey

There is no time to hesitate. The nitrogen armor of his left arm activated instantly, and the hammer-like annular air flow unleashed the fatal blow of the death claw, smashing into the concrete floor two inches away from his head, splashing a string of rubble.

Seizing this momentary opportunity, Jiang Chen suddenly restarted the vortex engine and directly adjusted it to the maximum output. Desperately panning from the side to get away from the Dead Claw.

A missed hit is naturally a second hit!

The death claw pounced on Jiang Chen without hesitation. However, Jiang Chen was not ambiguous, the revolver machine gun didn't have time to start, and his right hand immediately pulled out the tactical rifle on his waist.

Da Da !

The Leaping Fire Serpent smashed the cement to pieces, but it didn't respond to the armor on the front of the Dead Claw!

However, this suppressive shooting still had a certain restraining effect. The instinct of the creature made the death claw protect the weak eyes on one side, and generally dodged behind the cover on the side, and quickly detoured to Jiang Chen's position.

The magazine is empty, and there is no time to reload.

Jiang Chen, who finally stood firmly, immediately shook off the tactical rifle in his hand, pulled out the tactical dagger, and leaned against the wall.

Getting into melee combat with Deathclaw was an unwise decision. Especially with your back against a wall where there is nowhere to retreat.

But-

Seeing that Jiang Chen threw away the rifle in his hand, the death claws that seized the opportunity immediately pounced, and the blades of his two claws and ten fingers were intertwined, ready to tear the chest of the prey.

And yet at this moment. The prey suddenly disappeared out of thin air!

The dead claw, which had not yet reacted, slammed into the wall.

[Deathclaw's weakness is that there is only a layer of cortex to protect the spine and his eyes]

In an instant, Jiang Chen, who had reappeared in place, stabbed the dagger backwards without hesitation, deeply embedded in the back of the dead claw, and split its vertebrae.

The area below the head of the Dead Claw was immediately paralyzed, and he had to scream weakly to open and close his mouth.

Hold the dagger in both hands. Jiang Chen pulled down fiercely, slashing its back.

Sizzle.

Flesh and entrails were scattered all over the place, but because it was an animal, he didn't feel sick to his stomach.

Jiang Chen, who had disposed of the dead claw, gasped violently and sat back on the ground, his whole body soaked in sweat.

Using it twice in a row in an instant is also unimaginably huge in terms of the load on his body, and the stinging nerves almost make him faint.

The whole fight was only within a few breaths, but it made him feel the threat of death twice.

The hum of the vortex engine became clear.

Speeding through the smoke, Sun Jiao rushed to Jiang Chen's side. Look at the corpse of the dead claw on the ground

"You, are you okay!" Sun Jiao suddenly picked up Jiang Chen, who was leaning on the ground, opened the mask, and said in a trembling voice.

"Ahem, I'm not still alive just using that ability continuously, you know, a little dizzy. Jiang Chen smiled weakly, being held through the armor, it was really not in any mood at all.

"You're scared the hell out of me, stupid!"

"I can't help it. Who would have thought that there would be EMP and so on, why would there be an EMP and why would Deathclaw live in peace with zombies?" Jiang Chen suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said loudly.

Dead claws filled with killing instincts all over the body, have no allies in the last days except for their kind.

All other creatures are hunted by them. Including zombies. And the slow-moving thing like the zombies is still their main ration. Generally speaking, the innate resistance of xenomorphs is enough to immunize against the infection of zombie bacteria, unlike humans, who also need to be injected with vaccines or genetic drugs that strengthen bodily functions.

"Maybe you have to go in and get the answer. A large number of zombies are surrounding us, as if they want to support here. Sun Jiao looked at the hollow outside the community hospital with a complicated expression.

Orange fires danced in the distance, and from time to time there was a violent explosion.

Jiang Chen struggled to stand up, then stepped forward to pick up the tactical rifle. Reload and hang back on your waist. The vital detector was turned on and the radio radius was adjusted to maximum power.

Dense red dots were closing in on their defenses.

"You hold this place with the remaining eight Power Armor soldiers, I'll go in-"

"No, you're crazy! Do you know what's inside?" Sun Jiao said in a lost voice.

"I can get out of here at any time, but you can't. Jiang Chen looked at Sun Jiao's eyes seriously, "Believe me, I said that I can come back, then I will definitely be able to come back." ”

With the ability to traverse the bracelet, he can get out of any danger as long as he is not killed by a single hit. However, Sun Jiao is different, although she has rich combat experience and strong individual combat effectiveness, she is a human after all.

And this time, we are facing a completely unknown situation. Maybe the troops of the sixth block could fill this hole with their lives with their strong strength, but Jiang Chen didn't.

Even the loss of a Power Armor is an unbearable loss for the Fishbone Survivor Base. Because in the short term, it is impossible for Jiang Chen to get such a powerful weapon again. Even if Zhao Chenwu wanted to help him, he didn't dare to do so. After all, if you lose 10 power armors at once, it's a bit too much to say, and if you lose a few more at once, you'll suspect that you've broken the rules and are selling prohibited weapons.

What's more, the production of this kind of thing is already very low, and it is not something that can be bought with subcrystals.

In that case, only I went.

As early as when he set off, Jiang Chen had already considered this possibility.

Sun Jiao's lips trembled slightly, staring at Jiang Chen deadly.

"There's no time to waste, help me hold for 2 hours, if I don't come out, this operation will be declared a failure. It's a pity, but those survivors will have to give up, and with the mobility of the power armor, you can jet jump between buildings, and you can just flee back. ”

Sun Jiao grabbed the collar of Jiang Chen's power armor, raised his face in front of him, and said viciously.

"The old lady won't leave, I will do what I say!"

"Don't do this, I said that this thing is not a threat to me" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and looked at Sun Jiao's eyes staring at him. Even if the power armor is nearly destroyed, he can escape to another world, and then put the power armor into storage space to get out of danger.

"Then are you still coming out!Can you still come back to this world!You, you" The pretty face was distorted with sadness, and the grief-stricken look made Jiang Chen stunned for a while.

Oh, yes.

If I break away, I'm afraid I'll be in the same place next time. There is no place to repair power armor in the world, and if there is no power armor, wait for the floating bacteria to cover the area again

Maybe if you come back, you'll die.

But this is already on the edge, should he just go back? He was not reconciled. By the time the bacteria spread, the Fish Bone Survivor Base will no longer be able to live. However, evacuating here means that all his efforts in the past few months have been in vain.

it, fight!

There was no time to hesitate, Jiang Chen's heart was crossed, he took a deep breath, and then looked directly at Sun Jiao's shaky eyes.

"I vowed to come back and give me two hours. ”

"Yes"

"Good. Jiang Chen smiled comfortingly, then reached out and gently patted her helmet.

I'm definitely not going to give up here.

Silently promised, and then Jiang Chen let go of Sun Jiao, who was stunned.

"Help me guard the entrance. As soon as the two hours arrived, they quickly withdrew into the building and hid in place. It's still daytime, and the zombies should stop after the source is destroyed. Trust me! I can do it!"

With that, he turned around.

Taking a deep breath slowly, Jiang Chen jumped into the deep pit of the black hole. (To be continued.) )
