Chapter 152: Steam Tank
After one o'clock in the middle of the night, Chen Shouyi fell asleep in a daze, but his sleep was still very shallow, and he was awakened several times during this period.
When he was woken up one last time by a loud bang, he got up and sat up.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was only half past four in the morning.
He walked to the window, and the night outside was still hazy, and it was still more than two hours before dawn.
The sound of gunfire in the distance has been ringing for most of the night, and it has not stopped, but it has become more and more intense, and from here to time you can see the fire light that is lit not far away, and it seems bright and dark in the darkness.
Chen Shouyi watched for a while, and was about to continue to lie on the bed for a while.
At this time, a dull sound similar to that of an old-fashioned train gradually sounded from far and near, and the ground began to shake slightly.
It didn't take long for a steel giant beast to drive through the streets near the community, and by the moonlight, Chen Shouyi carefully distinguished.
It was a giant steam tank, a meter or two higher than the outer wall, with a long barrel pointing straight ahead, surrounded by six giant machine guns that looked like small cannons.
The locomotive-like ugly tail that spews white gas looks quite eye-catching.
Chen Shouyi had also seen a lot of tanks in the garrison area of the passage, but none of them were larger and more bloated than the other, and those heavy tanks that originally seemed to be huge looked as small as babies compared to it.
It is highly finished, and although it looks bloated, it is compact and has no blemishes on the surface, with a floral green spray of jungle camouflage.
It is clear that this tank was not developed recently.
In peacetime, it takes five to 10 years for an important piece of military equipment to be requisitioned, to pre-research, and to the equipment of the whole army, and it may be shortened to one year or even less in wartime.
However, there was only a little more than three months between the first mutation and the second mutation, and in such a short period of time, even if the entire Great Xia Kingdom was fully mobilized and entered a wartime state, it would not be able to equip the second-line army stationed in Hedong City so quickly.
In fact, the same is true.
This tank has been finalized more than ten years ago, and the original intention was to form a frontal attack on the other world, so it was specially developed, it is pure steam power, and even the shells are fired with ultra-high-pressure steam.
Later, due to the complex environment of the other world, as well as various other strategic factors, in the end, only a small batch was equipped with a first- and second-line army.
These tanks have been useless since the beginning of their equipment and have been sealed in the arsenal.
Until now!
Watching this behemoth rumble past the distance, Chen Shouyi came back to his senses and exhaled.
At this time, he was completely sleepy, and he simply didn't want to sleep.
While getting dressed, he opened the attribute panel, took a look, and found that his will had increased by another 0.1, reaching 12.9 points, and his perception had also increased by 0.1, reaching 12.1.
The Shell Girl was still asleep, and he gently scooped the little bit out of bed and put it in her briefcase.
The Shell Girl muttered a few times, smashed her mouth, and snorted again.
Sometimes, he really envied the simple-minded and carefree Shell Girl, just like today, when he tossed and turned all night, nervous, but she slept like a pig.
Seeing that it was still early, Chen Shouyi picked up his sword to warm up.
The increase in perception makes him seem to have an extra sense, whether it is in front of or behind within the range of one meter and five, whether it is open or closed, he can vaguely sense and judge what it is.
It's not a picture, it's not a color, it's a very strong intuition.
This ability is quite useful, as long as he perceives it, he can't hide anything from him.
......
After about half an hour of training, a scream suddenly came from outside, and then it stopped abruptly, which was terrifying.
The voice was very close, Chen Shouyi's heart sank when he heard it, he quickly stopped, walked quickly to the window, just glanced at it, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and he hurriedly leaned sideways against the wall.
A familiar silver figure walked gracefully into the community from the door.
In the hazy moonlight, it seemed to be covered in a beautiful silver light.
Chen Shouyi's hand held the hilt of the sword hard, his eyes squinting slightly and observing cautiously.
He didn't know if it was the one he had encountered during the day, but it seemed to be about the same size, when another frightened scream came from the community.
Everyone was in a panic tonight, unless they were born with big nerves, who could sleep, not only worried about these monsters that broke into the city eating people, but also worried about the shelling of this place, and I don't know how many people stayed at the windows all night, watching the situation outside.
The silver figure was immediately attracted by the scream, and its body froze, and suddenly spread its wings and flew quickly.
As an insect that can fly at three times the gravity, once it reaches the earth, its speed can be imagined.
Its wings flapped at high frequency, like a silver light rushing towards the residential building near Chen Shouyi's house.
With a bang, the glass on the eighth floor shattered, and several terrible screams rang out, but they disappeared one after another after a few seconds, obviously having encountered an accident.
After a while, there was a slight movement in the house, and soon someone walked to the living room, Chen Shouyi glanced at the broken window on the eighth floor opposite, stepped to the door, opened the door, and said quickly: "Dad, call everyone else to the living room, don't sleep, the movement is quiet." ”
Chen Dawei was shocked when he heard this, looked at his son, who had always been calm, and reacted like this, he knew that something was wrong, and he didn't ask much:
"Okay! I'll call them out right away. ”
......
Chen Shouyi returned to the window to continue his observation.
This silver giant spider has not come out for a long time.
Chen Shouyi's face was silent, and he looked at it for a long time before he withdrew his gaze, sighed, and gently closed the curtains.
He is not a superman, nor a god, but he is just a powerful ordinary person, and he is naturally no problem dealing with those black giant spiders, but in the face of this terrible silver giant spider, he is powerless.
Walking out of the bedroom, everyone was already out.
It was still early in the morning, the living room was dark, and there were no candles, and the atmosphere was quiet and depressing.
"Shouyi, what's going on outside?" asked Chen's mother a little uneasy.
"It's dangerous, and a terrible monster has appeared in the community. Chen Shouyi hesitated slightly, and decided to tell the truth.
"Brother, can't you deal with it?" asked Chen Xingyue.
"Yes. Chen Shouyi nodded and said.
The atmosphere fell silent, except for the sound of heavy breathing.
As the minutes passed, the neighborhood remained quiet.
This is undoubtedly good news, apparently this silver giant spider, after eating, did not carry out any more senseless killing.
But the existence of this terrifying creature still made Chen Shouyi's heart feel as if he was pressing a boulder, heavy.
......
It was getting lighter.
Song Tingting couldn't hold back and went to the toilet, and when she came back, she said a disturbing news.
The running water has stopped.
Chen's mother and Chen Dawei couldn't sit still for a moment, and hurriedly went to the kitchen together to check the natural gas.
Fortunately, in the end, I found that it can still be used.
Chen Shouyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the gas has not been cut off.
As for tap water, there is a lot of storage at home, enough to use it for ten days and half a month, if it is saved a little, just for cooking and drinking water, there is no problem with using it for a month.
What's more, there is a small lake in the community, although it is not clear and clean, but at that time, it is already good to have water, and you can hope for more.
If there is a problem with the natural gas, the entire inhabitants of the city will be devastated.
Not only are the cities densely populated, mostly reinforced concrete, and there are not many other fuel alternatives other than natural gas.
Moreover, the chemical reaction becomes relatively slow after the mutation, and flammable gases such as natural gas can be ignited relatively easily, while others such as wood and coal are more difficult.
......
After a simple breakfast, everyone stayed in the living room.
Soon it was close to noon, and the loud noise of the steam tank sounded again, and it seemed to be coming this way.
At first, Chen Shouyi didn't care, but soon his heart couldn't help sinking.
With such a big movement, I'm afraid it will alarm the silver giant spider!
"I'll go check on the situation!" he said, standing up, and walking briskly to the bedroom, quietly pulling open a gap in a curtain, and observing carefully.
On the eighth floor opposite, there has been no movement, and the silver giant spider doesn't know if it is resting or doing something else.
But with the movement of the steam tank, it became louder and louder.
Finally, this terrible silver figure appeared in the window again, and it looked into the distance, and there was no expression in its transparent and crystalline compound eyes.
Suddenly, it leapt and flapped its wings, speeding off into the distance.
You don't have to think about it to know that it's flying towards that steam tank.
Chen Shouyi's face struggled, he suddenly gritted his teeth, picked up his war bow and sword, and jumped from the window.
He plummeted down, the air whistling around him.
A few seconds later, Chen Shouyi landed on the ground, rolled forward and unloaded, and was already standing on the ground, and then ran quickly in the direction of the noise.
Every second he can take twenty or thirty steps, each step is three meters long, in the effect of the wind system's innate ability, the resistance of the air to him, if there is nothing, just in the breath he has already crossed the distance of a hundred meters.
Just ran to the fence when the worst happened.
With a continuous burst like a steam jet, countless black projectiles flew into the air with a whistling sound, and soon disappeared into a building in the distance, leaving a dense bullet mark, and a large amount of glass shattered and spilled from mid-air.
Chen Shouyi's face was grim, and he suddenly picked up his speed and jumped over the wall.
Half a kilometer away, the huge steam tank had stopped, and the nearly ten-meter-long giant gun barrel had not moved, only the projectiles spewed out by six giant steam machine guns were shooting wildly at a silver figure.
There are already more than a dozen deep scratches on the thick armor of the tank, two or three centimeters shallow, and five or six centimeters deep.
It let out a high-pitched and piercing scream, stumbling in mid-air, trying to get closer, but its body was hit by a rain of bullets from a steam machine gun.
This silver giant spider obviously picked the wrong opponent, this kind of rough-skinned and thick-skinned big guy, it can't do anything at all, at first relying on speed and agility, it can still let it attack, but once it waits for the machine gunner inside, it doesn't have much chance.
A few seconds later, it suddenly moved, and flew like a silver light towards a fifty or sixty-story skyscraper next to it.
A second later, it was already standing on the top of a high building, a pair of compound eyes looking down coldly.
Chen Shouyi, who was running, immediately dodged and hid behind a building.
The silver giant spider was already injured, and the carapace on its surface was covered with dozens of small spiderweb-like cracks, slightly dented, and green blood slowly seeped out of it.
However, injuries of this magnitude are obviously not serious.
The six steam machine guns of the steam tank continued to fire for a while, and also stopped, and the steam filled the air.
The two did not move for a long time.
I don't know why, Chen Shouyi, who was hiding on the side, had a bad premonition in his heart.
This giant spider is obviously not an ordinary insect, it has quite intelligence, this tank, I'm afraid it's in trouble.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the silver giant spider shot out like lightning again.
It was so fast that before the machine gun could shoot bullets, a series of dense metallic explosions like striking iron, spark explosions, six giant steam machine guns, in the blink of an eye, had been twisted and scrapped, and countless parts were flying with explosions.
Xu destroyed the high-pressure steam pipeline of the machine gun, and the next moment, ultra-high-pressure steam of hundreds of degrees Celsius violently sprayed into the air, forming columns of steam tens of meters high, and the entire tank became steam-filled.
It's a pity that the silver giant spider obviously didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, and it was instantly scalded, with a sharp scream, it quickly flapped its wings and flew up, and then fell to the street, its body trembling and screaming again and again.
The green blood on its body had discolored, apparently scalded by the heat.
Golden opportunity!
Chen Shouyi's heart moved, he felt an arrow, came out from behind the building, his steps were light and fast and approached quickly, and after more than ten seconds, he was already close to a hundred meters.
As if sensing movement, the screaming of the silver giant spider suddenly stopped, and then slowly turned around.
Only then did Chen Shouyi notice that its injuries were much more serious than expected, and a pair of originally transparent and crystalline compound eyes had also become slightly cloudy.
Its eyesight has apparently deteriorated dramatically, and it has even become blind.
His steps became softer and softer, and he approached step by step, and at the same time the arrow in his hand rested on the bowstring.
100 meters, 90 meters, 80 meters.
The silver giant spider became more and more agitated, it suddenly opened its wings that were already full of holes, and the air exploded with a buzz, and it quickly rose from the ground,
At this moment, Chen Shouyi's hand was like a phantom, pulling the bowstring like lightning and shooting an arrow.
The supersonic arrow flew at a fast pace, and this time it didn't dodge it again.
In fact, not only was its eyesight severely impaired by the high-temperature steam burning, but most of the fine hairs on its body were also destroyed by the high temperature.
These fine hairs are filled with countless receptors that not only sense the flow and vibration of air and water, but also act as ears to hear sounds, feel temperatures, and smell smells. It is precisely because of these receptors that it can quickly dodge high-speed bullets and arrows, without which its threat has been almost half removed.
With a thud, the arrow struck it in the chest.
The hard silver carapace on his chest was pierced in an instant, and the arrow was submerged at the root, leaving only a small section of trembling arrow feathers before it stopped, and at the same time, the huge impact force flew its body that had just left the ground upside down for three or four meters, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The silver spider let out a high-pitched hiss, its wings flapping violently, as if preparing to flee.
Another arrow slammed into its abdomen and rolled to the ground again.
Chen Shouyi didn't dare to relax, the arrows were shot one after another, seven arrows in a row, until this terrible silver giant spider could no longer move, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the haze that he had seen since yesterday quickly dissipated.
At this time, the steam tank in the distance finally closed the leaking steam pipe.
Chen Shouyi didn't want to deal with them, so he quickly disappeared into the distance after a few steps.
