Chapter 9: Attack from Ouroboros
A black dog covered in scars runs through the wilderness, followed by two pickup trucks, and finally two trucks full of children.
They are the direct force of Ouroboros, sent to gnaw down some of the hard bones that the Marauders can't attack. On the middle pickup truck, there is a power armor on board. This was the decisive force in their capture of the bunkered settlements.
T-45 Brown Bear power armor painted in desert camouflage with the hatch wide open. As an early model, the T-45 was still stuffy in the cockpit even at night due to the integration of too many outdated electronic equipment.
Lucit picked up a towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned on the mainframe.
"Welcome to Skunk Tec products."
The Skunk Tech logo jumped out of the helmet display system, and a gentle female voice sounded from the headphones. He began to conduct routine post-battle checks.
This power armor is an old model from thirty years ago, and even after major repairs, there will still be a lot of problems after fierce battles. Especially in yesterday's battle, after withstanding the shrapnel and shock wave of several grenades at close range, the transmission system is no longer very sensitive.
"Left arm."
He put on the motion-capture gloves on his left hand and made a fist-crushing motion.
"The left arm is normal."
A voice outside the cabin responded. Lucit tested his right arm and legs in turn, and found a slight delay in the maneuvering of his right leg. It was supposed to be the grenade that hit at close range.
"Those damn Zhuxia people."
He cursed, and crawled out of the cockpit with a curse, and the failure of his left leg had to be repaired back to the base. The weapon pylon on the back of the power armor was not something that the illiterate fanatics who couldn't read a few words could help check it, so he had to come out and check it himself.
"Roar!"
The black dog suddenly roared, sniffing at the ground.
"One-Eyed found something!"
The pickup spun the ground and stopped, nearly throwing Lusit off the car.
"Hey! Feed! Be careful, I didn't die at the hands of those Zhuxia pariahs, I almost died from your poor driving skills! ”
The driver of the pickup truck jumped out of the car, ran to the black dog, rubbed its neck, and lay on the ground, looking for clues.
Highland hunters like to breed fighting dogs, and although they are not very combative, they are very good at tracking and finding the whereabouts of their prey from clues. Few people escaped their tracking.
"Look at the tire tracks, it's not our car, it's the Zhuxia people."
Lucit's brow furrowed, and he ordered the rest of the convoy to return to the stronghold, allowing the Highland Hunters to follow the outsiders with their mechs.
The vanadium dioxide mechanical muscle used to drive the power armor can relax and contract like a biological muscle when energized, and the strength is more than 1,000 times that of an ordinary human muscle. Approximately 876 mechanical muscles and 6 billion vanadium dioxide muscle fibers allow heavy power armor to move as flexibly and with great power.
It's just that the use of mechanical muscles has a working time limit, and the life of mechanical muscles in key parts is about 1,200 hours. Therefore, the long-distance maneuvering of power armor is transported by pickup truck.
Li Mu sat inside, and they could clearly see the whole picture of Mount Bilis, but it was only about half an hour's drive to look at the mountain and run a dead horse. He suddenly remembered something, took out the diary from his arms, and handed it to Li Mei.
"Levi should be your father, this is the relic he left you."
He had seen some clues from Li Mei's actions to avoid sniping before, and there were many shadows of boning swordsmanship in his steps. Later, the action of her shooting in the car confirmed his suspicions. That action is exactly the same as the Gun Ranger passive skill Precision Shot. It's just that I don't know why she changed her name from Li Min to Li Mei.
Li Mei curiously took the notebook handed over by Li Mu, and only turned a few pages, Juanxiu's nose and eyebrows wrinkled, and tears fell from her eyes one by one.
When Levi saw Li Mei crying, she was as weak as a homeless kitten. His throat was choked. What words can be used to comfort a young girl who has lost her father, he does not know. Raising his hand without saying a word, Li Mu hesitated and patted her shoulder.
No one would believe that the dictator who claimed to have the heart of a wolf in later generations would have such a weak day. I don't know how many cruel experiences she went through before she walked to the road alone.
"Li Mu!"
Miss Shen, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly reminded in a low voice.
Li Mu turned his head and carefully observed the direction that Miss Shen was pointing in for a long time, only to find that there was a pickup truck following them on the horizon. It's just that the pickup truck is a kilometer away from them, hidden in a man-tall patch of decaying grass. At this distance, it's not much bigger than a sesame seed.
is worthy of being a later ace pilot, with strong eyesight, Li Mu sighed.
"Hold on, I'm going to speed up!"
BAIC Mengshi has two electric motors and a high-capacity nuclear fission battery that achieves a terrifying 972 horsepower and a torque of up to 600 Nm. As soon as he ran, the pickup truck behind him with an old-fashioned hydrogen battery couldn't catch up with him at all.
As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the distance between the tires and the gravel on the ground rubbed, the car accelerated violently, and with a strong sense of pushing back, the off-road vehicle swooped away and galloped away, and the distant scenery was instantly pulled closer, and the slight scenery was blurred.
Even when the power is soared to the maximum, the two motors are still very quiet. The open roof of the car allows the wind to whist from all directions, and the person who blows can't open his eyes and can't see through. From time to time, the wheels hit the stones on the ground, and even with the powerful electromagnetic suspension, the whole car still jumped violently, as if it was about to fly. Everyone was thrown out of the saddle and leaned on their seat belts
Li Mei, who had only worked as a tractor on weekdays, was pale, biting her lip tightly to keep herself from screaming, her hands were on the grip of the car door, and the whole person shrank into a ball in horror.
Lusit cursed, and in a moment, the car was almost lost by them. He closed the power armor hatch and opened the brakes that locked his legs, turning up the battery output that had been warming up to the maximum. Stimulated by the electric current, the mechanical muscles of the power armor's entire body contracted violently, and then expanded.
He controlled the armor, and with one arm propped up, the entire armor weighing 1.5 tons easily tumbled off the body of the pickup truck. The huge reaction force makes the suspension of the pickup make an overwhelming ** sound. Ignoring the Highland Hunter's curses, he activated the disposable rocket thruster on the mech's back in mid-air.
Pale blue flames erupted from the vents of the rocket engines. With a powerful kick of the right leg, the entire power armor flew away.
Lusit can see from the screen of the helmet display system that the speed of the power armor has reached 165 km/h, and the jitter of the body is increasing. That's more than enough, and this old armor can't reach a top speed of 180 km/h. The high-energy batteries, which were older than him, emitted an ominous sizzling sound, and he could hear the overwhelmed sound of the cooling fan.
Even through the heavy front-mounted armor, he could already feel the whistling air currents in front of him, and it had been a long time since he had manipulated the armor to run to this speed.
Nearly hitting the rocks on the side of the road, the cursed Highland Hunter was stunned as he watched the heavily armed mass move forward at high speed, and his dog let out a wail and cowered under the pickup.
Lusit didn't use the 23mm chain gun, and the T-45's vertical system was better than nothing at this speed. The left armor plate bounced off a small piece, and the handle of a heavy telescopic slinger bounced out. He pulled out the throwing stick, and the powerful spring inside the throwing stick bounced out the first two sections, turning them into a murder weapon that was one and a half meters long.
Miss Shen lay on the back seat, picked up the shotgun, and kept shooting at the power armor chasing behind her. But the Power Armor was far faster than she had imagined, and she only had time to fire two shots, shooting a string of sparks at the surface of the armor, and it was already chasing the car.
"Be careful!"
Li Mu roared, in his previous life, as a power armor commando leader, he could be said to have a good understanding of the performance of various power armors. The T-45, with a disposable rocket engine turned on, is not at all comparable to this car. But the power armor with the acceleration of the rocket turned on, and the cornering is not as flexible as that of the off-road vehicle.
When the off-road vehicle turns, it loses a lot of speed, and he has to time it to turn the corner. If you turn early, the off-road vehicle that is not fast enough is the fish on the cutting board; It's too late, and with the power of power armor, the whole car can be pumped into scrap metal with a single swing of a stick.
Li Mu's nerves were highly tense, and he stared at the distance between the mecha and the off-road vehicle from the rearview mirror. Suddenly, his hand went on, he grabbed the handbrake and slammed the steering wheel.
"Wow!"
There was a loud sound of tires rubbing, and the rear end of the car slammed and slid sideways to drift through the corner on the gravel floor. The dynamic steering system of BAIC Mengshi quickly distributes the speed and power of the four wheels of the car, barely stabilizing the off-road vehicle that is about to overturn.
Lucit was caught off guard by such a sharp turn, and he jerked the slinger out of his hand, and the tip of the flacker grazed the trunk of the off-road vehicle, and the tough carbon fiber was as fragile as a piece of paper, and a large piece of the body was torn off. The back half of the car was in shambles.
Shen Luoyan covered her ears, and the loud sound of the throwing stick pumping in the back of the car made her ears buzz, and half of her body was numb.
Li Mu stepped on the accelerator fiercely, which increased the speed of the car. He knew that the rocket engine would not work for more than ten seconds, and its original intention was to allow the power armor to pass through the fire blockade area at high speed and penetrate the enemy's defense line, and the working time was not long.
The time of the rocket engine was even shorter than Li Mu had estimated, and Lusit frowned as he looked at the red-glowing auxiliary power selection frame in the helmet display system.
The opponent was much tougher than he thought, and if the opponent drove power armor instead of an off-road vehicle, he would be dead.
The other party must be the elite of the Zhuxia military, and they must be stopped! Lusit secretly speculated about the identity of the other party and made up her mind. The white smoke of the disposable rocket thruster bounced off the pylon, and he raised the chain gun in his hand.
ps: I recommend a song, I heard it on Diamond City radio when I was playing Fallout 4, theendofzheworld, and now I like to listen to this song while coding words.
