"According to the map Lei Mufeng gave me, if we want to enter the core area, we must pass through a 'Tunnel Zero', there should be a lot of people over there, right?" Ayakui was obviously unwilling to argue with Qi Lin about this kind of thing, and took the initiative to change the topic.

"And so many...... If I were Cheng Su, I would have put more than half of the troops on hand at both ends of Tunnel Zero, and as long as Tunnel Zero was not lost, Vault 909 would still be under his control. ”

"Can we rush over then?"

"I guess, how do you know if you don't try." After Qi Lin finished speaking, he pushed the joystick, and the cannon on the right side of the cuirass suddenly turned its muzzle and suddenly fired at an alley on the right-

The sound of gunfire was accompanied by screams, and in that alley, there was a small group of soldiers, all wearing gray uniforms and equipped with several large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifles, obviously specially to ambush Qi Lin and them, if Qi Lin did not find out in time, he would inevitably have to be hit by a few high-explosive armor-piercing incendiary bombs specially used to hit tanks.

"It seems that we have been taken care of, this is already the sixth wave of people who have come to stop us, and the weapons have changed from the original RPG-7 to NT-20." Qi Lin said

"I still need some time to recover." Ayakui said.

"Well, you have a good rest, you will be the main force later." Qi Lin said as he stretched out his hand and clicked quickly on the projection screen, the output of the power furnace quickly rose to the limit of approaching the critical point, and the speed of the entire mecha also reached a new height, rushing quickly through the streets of the residential area, and every step falling would guess a large pit on the ground that was nearly twenty centimeters deep in the center.

Directly in front of him was an intersection, and just as Qi Lin was about to run, two trucks suddenly rushed out of the oblique spur, slammed into each other, and exploded in an instant, and a violent wave of qi swept towards Qi Lin with flames and metal fragments.

"Damn, these two trucks are loaded with explosives!"

Qi Lin hurriedly controlled the mecha to retreat again and again, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and protected the cockpit under the breastplate, while the giant cannon on his shoulder was quickly loaded, aiming the muzzle at the intersection obscured by thick smoke.

"Bang!"

The dull sound of gunfire came, and the entire mecha leaned back slightly, and there was an extra bullet hole in the shoulder armor.

"Warning: Damage to the right shoulder drivetrain, damage to the right shoulder drivetrain......"

With the warning sound of the system, the mecha's right arm hung down limply, and Qi Lin had lost control of it.

"I actually used the smoke from the explosion to cover the snipers......"

Qi Lin pulled the aiming handle, and the twin cannon fired in the direction where the bullets were flying, trying to suppress the sniper with firepower.

"Bang!"

A second gunshot rang out, this time, the bullet came from the side, and the impact was so great that the entire mech shook.

"Why is it NT-20 again...... Is this South African cannon a wholesale bok choy? Why do you have one sniper in Vault 909? ”

This 20 mm caliber anti-materiel weapon is a sharp weapon used by infantry to deal with armored targets such as tanks and power armor, even if the "Angel of Energy" has thicker armor, it is enough to choke on a few more rounds, especially the kind of specially made high-explosive armor-piercing shell, even if the core parts of the power furnace and cockpit are well protected, but once the joints are destroyed, the mecha that has lost power is no different from a hard-shelled turtle to be slaughtered.

"No, the mech's target is too big, and there are no large buildings in the living area that can use the mech as cover, so we have to get out." Qi Lin said, unfastening the safety lock fixed to his body, while his other hand quickly entered special instructions on the virtual keyboard.

"In my current state, I can eject us in an instant when the cockpit is open." Ayakui said.

"Well, I'll count to three—three, two, one!"

The cockpit hatch was suddenly opened, and then Qi Lin felt an invisible force envelop him, and with a whirlwind of heaven, he found that he had left the cockpit and flew into the air.

As for Ayakui, she was clinging to his back and wrapping her arms around his neck with both hands.

The two of them first flew to a height of nearly ten meters above the ground, and then the invisible force dragged them down hard, dragging the two of them directly into a balcony located on the third floor.

This sudden turn in mid-air is almost the same as the famous "cobra maneuver" in fighter piloting techniques, almost so that the snipers in the distance have no chance to shoot, and the two are out of the sniper's field of vision.

However, the only problem was that Qi Lin was smashed face down on the floor of the balcony, and there was an Aya Aoi pressed behind him......

"My nose ......"

Qi Lin got up from the ground and rubbed his nose that was almost smashed.

"I'm sorry, my mental strength is overdrawn, and I can't catch the two of us, so I have to use you as a meat pad." Ayakui said, but there was no embarrassment in her tone.

"Forget it......" Qi Lin waved his hand, pulled out his pistol, and looked around.

It is a street-facing balcony on the third floor, the balcony is not large, but it is not small, connecting two buildings side by side, which are piled up with all kinds of clutter.

Qi Lin pushed open the balcony door and walked into the room, which seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, with a musty smell in the air, a few tattered and simple pieces of furniture covered with dust, and a lot of moss growing in the damp corners.

It's still a low-level residential area, and the quality of the building is really not very good, and the floor slabs keep making a "crunching" sound when you step on them, as if they will collapse at any time.

"There's no one in this building, there's a person on the second floor of the next building, in the corner room on the right-hand side." Just as Qi Lin cautiously groped for the staircase, Ayakui said coldly.

“…… I forgot that there is still you hanging guy, no one is the best, let's go to the first floor. Qi Lin said, and staggered down the stairs.

There was no one on the first floor, but in the corner of the wall were two huddled skeletons, judging from the bottles of "Radiance Ning" and painkillers that had been thrown around the two skeletons, as well as the severely deformed bones, the two men should have died of severe radiation sickness.

This cause of death is common in shelters, especially among people who work in highly polluted areas, who are more vulnerable to the incurable disease, and who have to watch their condition worsen day by day, in addition to prolonging death with cheap medicines.

Radiation...... Qi Lin's heart moved, since there were people who died due to severe radiation sickness in this residential area, there must be a place with a large amount of radiation nearby.

For Qi Lin, radiation is equivalent to the experience of upgrading, as long as there is enough radiation, his strength can soar rapidly in a short period of time.

Originally, when he was in the No. 1 Energy Reactor, Qi Lin really wanted to learn the energy eater to grab a few fuel rods in the reactor, but before he could get close to the reactor, a large amount of power armor was surrounded, and if it weren't for Ayakui's help, he probably wouldn't even be able to get out of the industrial area.
