Chapter 44: A Narrow Road Encounter

In the midst of the smoke and dust, Xiang Mountain stopped. The massive outer armor wreckage fell to the ground, and the dust spread like a storm.

At a distance of several hundred meters, he does not have to worry about "sniping". Fine dust particles can block or scatter electromagnetic waves in most frequency bands.

Judging from the trajectory captured by the line of sight just now, it is impossible for the opponent to be A and D among the four sniper points.

Only the sniper points codenamed B and C remain.

However, you can't make a mistake. The two sniper points and he are not in a straight line. If he makes the wrong choice, then there will be an extra ten seconds or so.

He had to take a risk and "measure" the bullet more accurately.

When the vision was obscured, Xiang Shan inevitably fell into fear. This is the instinct that remains of the biological brain. For primitive creatures that rely on vision, the loss of vision means the loss of the ability to obtain food and hide from predators.

- Don't panic......

Xiang Shan can understand how dangerous what he is going to do next. If he's unlucky, he'll lose his hard-earned prosthesis. If he's a little unlucky, he'll get a headshot.

- Believe in the martial arts algorithm......

Martial arts are the crystallization of human wisdom. It is found in metal filaments and semiconductors. It is transmitted at the speed of light.

The limbs are also receiving messages at the speed of light.

The speed of the bullet is nothing compared to the speed of light.

The reason why humans can't hit flies is that flies are small enough that nerve signals can be transmitted from the sensory organs to the neural signal processing structures and then to the motor terminals in a very short time. But in reality, arthropod nerve signals are transmitted very slowly, at the fastest speed of only one meter per second.

If you zoom in to the size of a meter in equal proportions of the fly, then if you touch its hind feet, it will only feel it after a little more than a second.

Vertebrates, on the other hand, have lipid-formed myelin sheaths that wrap around nerves, so electrical signals can travel at speeds of up to 100 meters per second, a hundred times faster than insects.

Even in the Carboniferous period, when the planet had the highest oxygen content, insects could only hover between one or two meters in size. The oxygen content of the Cretaceous was 10 percent lower than that of the Carboniferous, but the size of the dinosaurs still easily exceeded this value, and even charged towards the limit of thirty or forty meters. This is because the nerve conduction velocity of arthropods is too low, and if they are more than one meter in size, they will react slowly.

The pterodactyls of the same era could use their overwhelming physical strength and reaction speed to eat the giant insects to extinction.

Now, the warrior's reaction is controlled by the electrical signals flowing through the metal-based nerves. This rate is faster than in myelin-sheath-encased chordates.

- Able to see...... Able to do ......

- If the gunman fires a bullet when I fall, the bullet will arrive here at a fixed time. Even if I'm not sure which of the two sniper points it is, the bullets will always arrive within a "window" that lasts a few milliseconds......

Within this window of milliseconds, there must have been a microsecond for a bullet to fall between his fingers.

Perhaps between life and death, Xiang Shan once again recalled what he had learned in the past......

The internal lens of the prosthetic eye expands to cut into the field of vision of infrared and far infrared rays.

Abandon distractions, abandon desires, abandon instincts......

In the field of vision, a crimson "dot" suddenly appeared!

Here it comes!

Kick the ground with both legs, jump backwards, and pinch the "red hot object" with two fingers at the same time.

Blazing metal flowed through his fingers. The velocity of this bullet is undoubtedly much greater than the rate of erosion of the bullet material. The heat generated by air friction cannot be completely dissipated through contact with air. Xiang Shan retreated at a slightly lower velocity than the bullet, sensing the force of the bullet with the high-frequency oscillating sounder at his fingertips and the pressure-sensitive element on his wrist.

- Ballistics...... Accurate ballistics...... The base is in C!

Anger is injected into the engine. Rushing out of the mountains like an explosion!

One bullet after another fell in front of Xiang Shan. Facing the mountain is like stepping on a road made of heavenly fire.

The first is four hundred meters obscured by dust and without any sniping.

Then, there are the 300 meters that the opponent has not yet adjusted.

Next, there are four hundred meters of corrective shooting.

A thousand meters passed through without incident.

Four kilometres away, Glyard gritted his teeth. He realized something was wrong. That guy is also a master. Not only did he just acquire the martial arts algorithm, he was extremely familiar with the martial arts algorithm, and he was also extremely familiar with the gun path. He knew what kind of tactical group the gun ball would adopt.

For the gun course, "distance" is "advantage". Of course, "distance" is not always proportional to "advantage".

At the "extreme distance" of seven to five kilometers, the advantages of the gun trajectory are immeasurable. But after 4,000 meters, as the distance closes, the warrior of the gun path will gradually lose this advantage, because at this distance, the high-precision prosthetic eye can only directly observe the muzzle of his gun.

The enemy does not need to be faster than a bullet, or even faster than the muzzle of a gun, because at this distance, it takes at least a few seconds for the bullet to reach the target. But just projecting this information onto the prosthetic eye doesn't even take a ten-thousandth of a second. For cyberwarriors, this process is no more difficult than a music game or a parkour game.

As the distance closes, the other party will only see more and more clearly.

Only within a hundred meters will the gunball warrior regain the upper hand. While simple electrical signals can be transmitted at the speed of light, the neural signals of the biological brain, the processes of computation, and the reactions of the prosthetic hardware all take time. And at this time, the reaction time left for the martial artist is almost gone.

Martial arts can only regain "absolute advantage" within a one-meter range.

When the enemy's eyes collided, Glyard understood that the other party had entered a relatively safe zone. The earth no longer obstructs his view, and the light deflected by the uneven atmosphere to the point where a computer can correct it.

Glyard continued to shoot bullet after bullet, creating a "blocking" effect that limited the enemy's forward speed. At the same time, a two-meter-high iron box standing behind him opened, and hundreds of drones less than ten centimeters thick were released, like a swarm of black presses.

The drones that are already far away will not have time to be recovered. Drones of this construction simply can't keep up with the speed of the warriors. For warriors moving at high speeds, they are almost stationary.

The battlefield of the next decisive battle is at the "golden hundred meters".

Well, redeploy drones now......

………………………………………………

Xiang Shan observed his enemies. He scattered countless drones in the distance, and saw a tank leap down from the top of a metal mountain.

It was really a tank, or one of those tanks with an extremely high turret. The lower body of the gunsmith had been replaced with two tracks, seven pairs of load-bearing wheels, and the upper body was turret-like and completely covered in heavy armor plates. His shoulders were well above his head, and the arms extending from his shoulders were replaced with a multi-barreled rotary machine gun and a cannon...... No, no, if you look closely, on the outside of the barrel and barrel, you can still see a pair of highly modified "arms", which look more like the working arms of construction machinery, with shields on the arms, completely transformed into heavy armor, which is used to deal with the melee attacks of combat masters.

Xiang Shan read Lef's memories.

"Serial missile" Glyard, the leader of the "Z organization" in the green forest village, and the "earth evil star" ranked 98th on the green forest tiger list......

This is a guy who kills people without blinking.

- He's approaching on his own initiative...... Yes. It is not difficult for a cyberwarrior to climb a wall perpendicular to the ground with his bare hands. And the structure of his prosthetic body means that he cannot effectively fire at the enemy on the wall below. And looking at the heavy armor on his body, the possibility of cultivating martial arts such as tank road and chariot fist in the military martial arts is very high. And on the high platform, there is no room for this kind of martial arts......

Xiang Shan dodged the oncoming bullets like a dance, and thought.

Glyard's aim was to seize the "last hundred meters...... The 100 meters with the most advantage in guns and guns against fighting skills!

He wants to make that "100 meters" happen in the most suitable part of his play.

- The distance at this point is ...... 2,000 ......

Regardless, accelerate.

Although every ten meters forward, Xiang Shan loses a few microseconds of reaction time - after the bullet is discharged, the light of the event will first enter Xiang Shan's prosthetic eye, and then it will take less than a second for the bullet to appear in front of Xiang Shan.

The closer you get, the shorter the distance between the light and the bullet, and the more dangerous the person becomes.

It's like a music game, where the marker falls faster and faster.

And the price of this "game", "Miss" is "death".

However, there is no way. Xiang Shan is not equipped with a long-range weapon, and in order to defeat this enemy, he must enter the distance where his fighting skills can be effective.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

In the face of this speeding enemy, Glyard squeezed a sinister smile on his face behind his mask, and raised the barrel of the cannon that had not yet been used. As if holding a banner aloft, he lifted the barrel diagonally upward.

Glyard felt what little blood vessels he had dilate. This feeling hasn't been felt in a while.

Since he can't get his hands on the fission reactor's energy core, he can't compress air and ionize it before shooting it, or use laser weapons, only physical shells. And this kind of shell must have a limit on the amount of ammunition it can carry. Glyard could only carry ten shells.

But the warriors are not facing "war". In a heads-up situation, these ten shells are enough.

Under the same specification of prosthesis, no one can withstand a single shell.

Yellow metal cannonballs whizzed out. When the cannon was discharged, Xiang Shan suddenly turned to the left, drawing an arc of 120 degrees on the ground, trying to stay as far away from the shell as possible. But at this moment, Glyard also fired the second-method shell that had just been loaded.

Two shells crashed into a mountain of garbage. Immediately after, a violent explosion. The flames carried a large amount of non-flammable debris into the sky. Two shock waves appear from the left and right sides at the same time.
