Chapter 5: Search and Secret War
Barrett, crouching in the shadows, lifted his tactical watch on his left wrist, tapped it a few times, checked the status of the equipment, and there was no problem. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info came the sound of the hydraulic actuator releasing behind him, "Are you alright?" Barrett glanced back at Lowe, and sure enough, Lowe's face was a little pale, and his body problem made it difficult for Lo to do this. As he spoke, Barrett pulled out a lens from his watch that glowed with a faint blue light, very thin, only the size of a matchstick.
"Well, there's no problem, mana fluctuation monitoring is normal." This crystal is an important piece of equipment used by the Frostians to fight against the Nala------ magic neutralization crystal. The blue one will emit a red light once it comes into contact with magic fluctuations or interference, the first is to give a warning, and the second is to neutralize a certain range of magic power in the vicinity within a few tenths of a second after it is activated, but such a small crystal has limited energy, and it is generally almost gone at one time. Most of the time is spent detecting and masking large areas of mana wave rhythms (the rhythms generated by Priest Nala's meditation will be periodically scanned along the ground, giving the releaser a dream-like feedback, although the war zone is chaotic and generally difficult to implement).
"It's okay, it's old. Nothing was wrong, the equipment was in good condition and there was nothing wrong with the body. Luo said, it is indeed an old problem, fear of heights or something, even if there is no good way to do it now, there is a way to restrain the nerve bundle and reduce the perception to deal with it, but most soldiers will not do this, after all, reducing the perception on the battlefield is likely to mean dying faster. While saying that, Luo used his watch to set the self-detonation time for the glider, but he didn't have to worry about being discovered, the sound of the devouring bomb was very small, and there would be no traces left, only a pit.
"The war zone is in the east, let's go around to the edge first, looking for traces of infiltration." Barrett bowed and activated the armor's optical camouflage and infrared masking. A short body shook into the shadow of another tree. As Barrett advanced, Lowe kept watch. The two alternated guards, searching and sneaking towards the southeast area of the war zone.
The scanning eye is activated to analyze the various traces between the trees. Lowe's hand caressed the tree, there was a scratch here, it should have been grazed by a bullet. "It wasn't long, about ten minutes before we landed." As the line of sight passed, there were several bullet impact points on the ground, "Energy Rifle, it looks like a forest ranger"
Silencer weapons? Apparently an Energy Rifle carried by scouts who are afraid of attracting attention, unlike hybrid firearms, Energy Rifles use towed projectiles to direct ion clusters. The relative sound and recoil are very low, but the relative power is also much smaller, and the pure energy is easily absorbed by the ionization barrier of the power armor, which is okay against unarmored sharp snipers. "There was no blood." Barrett pondered, didn't hit? Or is it blocked by armor? Look at the traces are going in the opposite direction of the war zone.,Do you want to go with it?γγγ Glancing up, the scanning eye was still faithfully analyzing. Having made up his mind, Barrett said, "Let's follow, but be careful, you are behind, help me keep watch." "Because of Luo's physical reasons, the sound he makes is relatively loud, and if the other party is a scout, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be discovered.
The two of them cautiously advanced about a kilometer or so through the trees, and the sound of battle was heard in front of them. Chatter (qingqing) . , short burst, energy rifle! Barrett immediately ducked, rolled to the right, and ducked into a bush. Not to shoot at yourself, not exposed, safe. Barrett slowly crawled forward, his left hand pushing aside the bushes in front of him, two figures were dodging and shooting, and the one behind him was holding an energy rifle, dark green stealth armor, mimicking the color of leaves, but in motion, this mimicry had little effect. The man in front was wearing a dark gray military uniform, but did not return fire---- which was the pilot's attire. There was no time to think about it, Barrett raised his gun and aimed, and was about to shoot, but the other party suddenly stopped shooting as if he had some sense, glanced back at this side, and ducked behind a tree!
Damn, the Nala monster's crisis sense, this is a superpower, right? Barrett cursed inwardly. But fortunately, due to the interference from this side, the pilot escaped for the time being. "Luo, I'll drag him, you go around!" Barrett said in his headphones. Dahan did not answer, but proved the tacit understanding of the veteran with his actions, and he had already begun to bypass.
Raising his hand to shoot a short shot, three rounds landed in a zigzag pattern near the tree, and Barrett reached out half of his body to attract fire. Sure enough, the opposite side is covered, and with this level of marksmanship, the other side will not dare to let him shoot and pursue others. Bump, a blue circle appeared half a meter in front of Barrett, and at this time the watch issued a red warning ---- magic reaction!
Barrett immediately flipped back, and the blue circle in the air suddenly shrank, hiss. . . Swish! Bulging violently! Barrett, who was only swept away by the aftermath, was thrown out a few meters away like a rotten haystack and crashed into a tree. Seeing this situation, Luo Gu couldn't sneak any more, squatted deeply, the mechanical legs and the support and power structure of the G5 non-commissioned officer armor erupted with quite terrifying power, Luo Gao jumped high and pounced on the forest ranger behind the tree who was guiding magic with one hand!
Boom! The high-vibration scimitar is unsheathed, and the dark red blade is brightening and buzzing! The sound of the accelerating vibrations was dizzying, and the ranger was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to pounce on him from such a distance. The price of a mistake in judgment is the end of life! The vibrating knife slammed into his chest, and the whole person was nailed to the ground.
"Humph!" Breathing out of his nose, Lowe gasped, anger that would make him gasp violently. Sure that his opponent couldn't die anymore, he looked back in Barrett's direction, where he was standing up against a tree. Doesn't look like much of a problem.
"Phew, I ate a mouthful of leaves, but fortunately Lao Tzu reacted quickly." Barrett walked over. The ranger's cloak was picked open with a dagger, and he didn't look very old, less than twenty years old according to human calculations. It's a pity that he can unleash burst magic. There is nothing to be guilty of living or dying in war. It's just that as a commander, such a good soldier. There will be a feeling of pity.
"It's good that it's you, if you change someone else, we'll be in trouble, this kid is simple enough, and if he finds that there is danger, he immediately lifts the hole cards!" Barrett was a little emotional, just based on the opponent's crisis reaction and this burst magic, I don't know which famous family heir died, but he died in such a place that no one knows. If it were only Barrett himself, I am afraid that he would be suppressed by this kid, in case there are his allies nearby, this situation will not be easy to clean up!
Behind the tree, the pilot gasped for breath, and the feeling of escaping death was very ~~~~ cool. Barrett crouched down, looked at him and said, "How's it going?" Which part? "Lowe is on guard, and the neighborhood is safe for the time being.
"Whew... Call...... Chief, I am ... He was the driver of the Transport Support Squadron of the 2nd Brigade Rohr, with the rank of second lieutenant. "Seeing the bronze eagle two-star badge on Barrett's collar, knowing that the one in front of him is a captain with a higher rank than himself, Rohr said." Just you? What about the others? Knowing that there could not be only one person on the transport plane, Barrett, although he could almost guess the result, still asked: "Did the transport plane crash out of the war zone?" There's only one person chasing you? β
"Sir, they γγγγγ All dead, co-pilot, soldiersγγγγγγ There were more than 20 people on my plane... I don't know where the artillery bombardment came from, the magic cannon, why are the magic cannons used as anti-aircraft gunsγγγγγγγγγ The lad lowered his head, not wanting Barrett to see him cry.
