669 Death of a Marauder
A massive sandstorm raged not far away, and the war between the Marauders and the two-man squad officially began.
The frantically rotating metal roulette wheel cut towards Lin Chi's head, and the saw blade rapidly expanded in Lin Chi's sight.
At the last moment before the thing could cut to him, Lin Chi turned sideways and dodged the circular saw cut from top to bottom in a kangaroo-like jumping motion, and the drill in the marauder's left hand burst out in front of him, bringing out the wind that caused the surrounding sand and dust to turn into a whirlpool.
- Is this guy too strong?
Lin Chi secretly complained in his heart and sent a message to Frankenstein: "Let's run separately." β
The Marauders are indeed very combative, but these bandits only have melee weapons in their hands, no ranged weapons such as guns, and as long as they scatter and flee, they can make it impossible for the guy to attack both at the same time.
"Got it." Frankenstein replied.
Another figure in a spacesuit turned around and ran in the opposite direction of Lin Chi, seeing that the enemy was scattering, the marauder didn't think for long, and chose to pursue Frankenstein.
Behind the cobalt-blue Marine Corps power armor, a long tongue of fire erupted again, streaking across the orange sand dunes like a meteor, "flying" towards Frankenstein.
Although the enemy left temporarily, Lin Chi had no time at all at this time, but immediately opened his backpack and began to confirm the equipment in his hand.
The enemy is wearing power armor that cannot be penetrated by four-barrel grenade launchers, and the other guns in his hands are obviously useless. Special equipment must be used in order to penetrate the opponent's armor.
In this case, the few guns that Lin Chi usually used were completely ineffective, not to mention that Mars could not replenish the bullets used by these guns, resulting in a lot of practicality of all kinds of weapons in his hands, from pistols to six-barreled machine guns.
What weapons do you need to penetrate that armor?
Lin Chi, who had plundered a large number of epic weapons from the map of New York, retrieved the equipment he brought in his backpack as quickly as possible, looking for useful items in it:
The T-REX Tyrannosaurus Rex shotgun cannot penetrate the opponent's armor.
The ACR "Viper" assault rifle, apparently, is completely ineffective against power armor.
Colt's "Dark Vulture" pistol is even more useless......
Lin Chi's gaze passed over the commonly used weapons, looked at the "niche weapons" that had not been used much since he got them from New York, and then stopped his gaze on a small pistol with a plastic shell:
X-109 Tasers.
Ranged weapons.
Item Class: Epic.
Stun guns, no proficiency required, up to fifteen meters, equipped with 10 rounds per game.
When the gun fires a shock dart that hits an enemy, it will release a high-voltage electric current for a short period of time, knocking the enemy to the ground.
"Tasers are the best option for police officers who want to subdue criminals, but don't want to shoot them. When you shoot, the gun releases a dart connected to an insulated copper wire, which releases a high-voltage current to knock down an enemy the moment it hits them. β
"This gun is positioned as a non-lethal weapon, but it has killed many people, and if you want to use it to capture an enemy, it is best to investigate whether the opponent has a history of heart disease before using it."
- This gun could probably be used against marauders?
Lin Chi took out the pistol with a black shell from his backpack, under the 17-point strength bonus, the weight of this thing was as light as paper, and a stainless steel sheet was installed above the gun body, and the model text "X-109" was written on it.
Although Lin had obtained this weapon sooner or later, he never used it, and only put it in his backpack, and never even took it out once.
After all, in the vast majority of cases, compared to normal firearms with high power and long range and plenty of bullets. The range is only fifteen meters, and there are only ten bullets in total, and if a bullet is crooked, the taser that can't be fired again immediately is too shabby.
If you are within fifteen meters of the enemy, it is better to use the gun to simply change the melee weapon and rush over to fight. For these reasons, Lin Chi had never used this weapon with extremely poor versatility.
But now, perhaps, it's time for this weapon to show its power.
Lin Chi clenched the plastic handle in his hand and tried to stuff the thick fingers wrapped in the spacesuit into the position where the trigger of the taser was.
Positioned as a portable, non-lethal weapon, this taser is somewhat smaller than a regular pistol and is almost impossible to operate while wearing a spacesuit.
"Okay......"
Seeing that Frankenstein was still embarrassed to avoid the raids of the marauders, Lin Chi rushed forward with his taser in his hand, suddenly ripped off the glove of the old spacesuit's right hand with his left hand, and then used his right hand exposed to the Martian air to grip the handle of the taser gun.
As soon as he took off his gloves, the cold air covered his skin, causing Lin Chi's right hand to go numb for a moment, and the temperature here was almost minus forty degrees. Even if the player has their own resistance to harsh environments, this temperature will directly cause frostbite to the body.
However, just kill that guy before your right hand is frozen to cripple!
Thinking of this, Lin Chi also sped up again, jumped to the predator who was attacking Frankenstein, avoided the flames spewing from the back of the power armor, raised his gun and aimed at the back of the opponent's neck protected by the armor, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Unlike ordinary firearms, the taser did not require proficiency at all, and the shot fired by Lin Chi directly hit the metal armor on the back of the marauder's helmet. And thenβ
The Marauder was covered in a blue and white arc of electricity, but the guy was still roaring, unaffected by the electricity.
"Damn, it didn't work?"
Lin Chi was about to put away his weapon, but found that the jet propulsion device behind the power armor suddenly stopped running, the flames in the annular vent disappeared, and the circular saw and electric drill in the guy's hand also stopped working.
"Well done." Frankenstein said as he stood in front of the marauders, cross-legging his waist in a defiant look.
Although the Marauders were not injured, the built-in energy system of the Marine armor was blasted to a halt by the electric current emitted by the taser
Mars' gravity is lower than Earth's, but at least 500 kilograms of Marine armor can't be moved by the pilot's strength alone. After losing momentum, the marauders in this heavy armor become lambs to the slaughter!
Realizing this, Lin Chi adjusted his voice to the predator's band, and said mocking words to the cobalt blue "giant" who stood motionless:
"What's wrong, is there a leak?"
"I'm going to tear you ......," the Marauder still roared, but his immobile body was completely devoid of its previous momentum.
In fact, in addition to the armor of the Marine Corps, the driver also wears protective clothing, and if there is a sudden "power outage" when there is no enemy, he can also take off the armor and choose to run away.
It's a pity that there are two enemies around him who are eyeing each other, and this thing doesn't even have a chance for the golden cicada to come out of its shell.
The marauder who remained in the power armor and couldn't move, and the Frankenstein standing in front of him looked at each other, and there was silence in the chat channel for a while, and Lin Chi suddenly spoke:
"Are you the patriarch of that clan?"
"I'm not going to tell you anything!" The marauder roared.
"Kill him." Frankenstein said as he opened his backpack.
"Wait a minute."
Seeing that Frankenstein was going to forcibly remove the power armor from the marauder, Lin Chi immediately stepped forward to stop it, stood behind the cobalt blue armor, and knocked on the metal armor on the opponent's waist.
"We're not the bastard's accomplices, we're newcomers." While speaking, Lin Chi put back the glove on his right hand: "We just met that mentally retarded by chance, and it has nothing to do with him. β
"I won't believe your nonsense......" The Marauder's voice narrowed.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, but I'm too lazy to kill people right now." Lin Chi got straight to the point: "We want to understand the current living conditions on Mars and find a way to survive in this wilderness. β
The marauders were silent.
The murderous murderer in the power armor naturally wouldn't believe Lin Chi's words, but he had no choice now, whether he went out or stayed inside, it was a dead end!
- On Mars, where electricity is scarce, criminals can't use precious electricity as weapons, and they can't develop equipment like stun guns.
It is precisely because of this that the Marine Corps Power Armor can run rampant among the criminal tribes and establish absolute authority. It's a pity that in the face of the "heretical weapon" that will not appear on Mars, the majesty of the marauders has finally disappeared......
After a pause, the marauder's voice finally brought a slight desire to communicate: "Can you spare my life...... I still have a wife and children to take care of. β
"Aren't you green by Sasha?" Lin Chi teased casually, then suddenly realized something and asked, "Do you have a child?" β
"Yes, my son is three years old." The marauder replied.
If it was somewhere else, in the face of the enemy's extremely lame excuse of begging for mercy "I have a wife and children", Lin Chi would definitely kill the other party directly. But now he didn't do that, and just continued to gather information about the map:
"In addition to the exiled criminals, there are also natives born here?"
"Yes, we are human beings too, so we naturally have that kind of need." The marauder spoke quickly: "Although there are few female prisoners in exile, it is not impossible, and it is not strange that they will have children, right?" β
"I don't think the children born here will live long." Lin Chi changed his words and asked, "What age is it now?" How long did the history of exile on Mars last? β
"I don't know." The Marauder replied, "We no longer use the human A.D. year, but the Martian calendar. This year marks the 58th year of the Martian calendar. β
- In other words, has the horror of the criminals been going on for at least fifty-eight years......
After getting the new information, Lin Chi pondered for a moment, and then suddenly ordered, "Come out." β
"Huh?" The marauder's voice was astonished.
"I'll let you get out of the power armor now, or we'll take off the armor and tear you to pieces and throw you into the desert." Lin Chi urged: "Hurry up! β
"I can't die...... the Marauder is still begging for mercy, only to see Frankenstein take a chainsaw from his backpack and stand next to the power armor:
"I'm going to cut it."
"No, don't do that!" The marauders shouted, "Please! β
When the power armor fails to activate, it is only a matter of time before the driver is dragged out by using the chainsaw against the weak spots in the power armor connection. Now, the Marauder has finally realized that he has no choice!
"Okay, I'll come out...... Don't kill me......"
While the marauder spoke, Lin Chi saw the two metal plates behind the power armor and began to slowly open outward.
A man wearing the same dark brown hazmat suit as Sasha emerged from the power armor, and the red eagle pattern with its wings spread on the chest of the suit was very conspicuous.
Before Lin Chi could see the other party's appearance clearly, he immediately noticed that the guy was holding a long iron rod in his hand.
The marauder jumped over and swung his iron rod and smashed it into Lin Chi's head. This time, Lin Chi didn't dodge as embarrassed as before, but directly put his hand into his backpack.
The blazing flames covered the fan-shaped area in front of Lin Chi, and the body of the marauder was blasted backwards by the Tyrannosaurus Rex shotgun, and the roar in his throat came to an abrupt end, and blood flew out from the dozens of gaps in the protective suit and landed on the orange-red sand.
"Since you don't cooperate, there's no way." Lin Chi sighed.
As if he had expected to do this, Frankenstein didn't show any surprise and just asked, "Do you want to take the armor with you?" β
"I'd like to take it with me, but we can't move it." Lin Chi stretched out his hand and pushed the power armor standing on the sand, it felt like he was pushing a big rock, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make it move even a bit.
Not far away, a massive sandstorm was still raging, and Lin Chi bent down to search the marauder's corpse for a while, and found an iron-gray key card.
Blood Eagle Tribal Residency Key.
Special props.
Item Class: Fine.
Using this keycard, the door to the Blood Eagle Tribal Residency can be opened.
"Criminals exiled to Mars are struggling to survive on this planet as a tribal unit, and the Blood Eagle Tribe is the weakest of them."
After reading the introduction of the item, Lin Chi smiled and said, "I will inherit your legacy, young man." β
With that, he turned and walked in the direction of the Marauder and entered the sandstorm in the sky, and Frankenstein immediately followed, a cold electronic tone sounding in his headphones:
"Are you going to kill them all?"
"No, I just want to see what the hell is going on and 'collect' some supplies by the way." Lin Chi said with a smile.
The two of them quickly disappeared into the sandstorm.
