8. Gaps

Jiaming and the others were lying on the ground in a daze, and they were kicked away, but it seemed that they were also saved?

The bombardment just now was just the beginning, and more than a dozen mortars bombarded the rangers' camp one after another. Gunsmoke and dust continued to fill the air in the roar.

Bob ran over under the fire: "Captain, Jiaming, are you all right?" ”

"I'm fine." Yan Na got up, but saw black smoke rising from the tent in the distance.

"Grandpa!"

Yan Na rushed over regardless of this, and Jiaming and Bob hurriedly followed when they saw this.

When I came to the tent where the old man stayed, fortunately, the mortar that hit here just now hit the corner, and although the old man's face was stained with scorched earth, he was not injured.

Seeing Yan Na and a few people coming, the old man wiped the scorched earth on his face: "Are you okay?" ”

A few people shook their heads, and seeing that everyone was safe and sound, the old man immediately gave an order: "Bob! Go put on the iron shell and organize a combat team to fight back, Jiaming, you go too! ”

"Yan Na, you take the rest of the search team, protect the wounded, the elderly, and children, and retreat to the third line of defense."

Yan Na seemed to have other thoughts: "Grandpa! I can go to war too! Let me ......"

The old man didn't give room for discussion, and immediately interrupted: "There will be a chance in the future!" Right now! Listen to my commands and act! ”

Seeing that the old man's face was serious, Yan Na nodded although she was a little unwilling.

Mortar shelling stopped for the time being. The people who received the order also began to act, but at this time, the old man realized that there was another person.

Rayson, who is not a Ranger man, does not seem appropriate to give him orders. The old man thought for a while, and only said, "I'm sorry, your things can only be done for you later." ”

That being said, the old man still expected Rayson to offer to help, and he even thought that if Rayson offered to help the Rangers, he might reconsider and give Rayson the opportunity to join them.

But Rayson didn't say anything, his eyes looked at the shoulder cannon that was only half loaded on the exoskeleton, and after a while, he asked slowly: "This, how long will it take?" ”

The old man was a little dumbfounded, his eyebrows were burned, and Rayson only cared about his equipment?

"I just welded it, I haven't debugged it and I haven't charged it. If you are willing to wait, you can wait, if you don't want to wait, there is a back door on the other side of the rest area to go out, take your things and find a chance to go by yourself, no one will stop you. The old man angrily put down his words, picked up a gun on the table and left.

At this time, the Ranger's camp was in disarray. Many people were injured in the mortar bombardment, and Yan Na and his team were transporting the wounded to the rear of the camp. Outside the camp was a hail of bullets.

The Rangers' guards were fighting back through the walled platform, and the automatic batteries were bombarding the outside world all the time. But the firepower outside the walls seemed to be more lethal, as many of the automatic batteries had been destroyed, and bodies had piled up under the platforms inside the walls.

Two sparks and two rockets flickered in the night sky, destroying the last automatic battery. The explosion also affected the two guards next to them, who fell from the platform to the ground, one of them was killed, and the other vomited blood and convulsed.

"Gan!"

Jiaming couldn't help but scold angrily, hurried over, and dragged the angry guard back. The old man also rushed to the scene at this time and asked the guard urgently: "Who attacked?" Royal Army? ”

The guard coughed up a mouthful of dirty blood and nodded with difficulty: "Yes...... It's ...... them again."

"How many people came?"

"Not a lot...... But...... They have a lot of firepower...... And a power armor ......"

Jiaming handed over the guards to his companions who were transporting the sick and wounded. The old man saw that there were fewer and fewer guards on the platform, and there were more and more corpses and wounded under the platform, and his heart was broken.

"Rangers! Abandon the perimeter line! Build a defense in the second line of defense! ”

Hearing the old man's order, all the guards on the platform withdrew and moved to a defensive bunker about ten meters away from the gate, with their guns all pointed at the gate. Bob also put on power armor, and more than 100 rangers were all ready at this time.

After a moment of silence, the steel gates of the camp were blasted open with a loud bang. One of the doors flew straight towards the old man's place with smoke in it.

Bob hurried to the front of the old man. With a thud, the armor barely caught the iron door with all its might, and dragged his feet on the ground like brake marks.

After Bob caught the iron door, he threw it back. The heavy iron door that was spinning rapidly was steadily caught by a large metal hand outside the gate.

The firelight outside the door reflected a huge figure, a power armor twice as large as Bob's, pitch black, with sharp and thick armor on the surface, and a heavy machine gun in one hand. Even from a distance, you can still smell the dangerous and violent smell of him.

On the right arm of the black armor, a blood-red ribbon is tied, which seems to be the identity symbol of the royal army.

"Regiment, regimental commander......" Bob reported to the old man behind him in a solemn voice: "The analyzer feedback that the danger index of that armor has reached the first level of slaughter......

"What?" The old man was startled, and his face became ugly.

Bob's power armor has been modified by the old man many times, and the danger index has reached level eight. This is not low, and the black armor that came to attack was a slaughter level, one level higher than Bob's.

Theoretically, mechanical equipment can improve the danger index by modifying performance, adding weapons, etc., and if it is raised to level 10 at the current stage, it will advance to a new level. If Bob's armor can be increased to the tenth level of the furious general, he will also automatically advance to the slaughter level.

But this is only theoretically feasible, in fact, most of the machinery, even after many modifications, can only be slightly improved in the original stage, and finally stuck in the current stage of the eighth and ninth levels, and few can really advance to the new level. Because the higher level represents not only higher lethality, but also the overall lethality of the mechanical equipment, defense, flexibility, handling, and everything.

The eighth level of the angry general sounds only a little worse than the first level of slaughter, but this point already represents a world of difference in the strength of the two, which can be seen from the difference in their size. The huge size of the black armor is even more oppressive in the light of the night.

Bob ...... Can you stop him? The old man said, his heart extremely nervous. The Ranger camp has two power armors, one damaged and not fully repaired, and the other is the one that Bob is wearing. For now, we can only count on Bob.

"Do what I can."

Without hesitation, Bob turned on the armored thrusters and rushed over.

In addition to the black armor, there was also a group of royal troops armed to the teeth. There were not many people, about thirty people, and they had already rushed into the gate.

"Fire! Block them! The old man gave an order, and the rangers behind the bunker sent out their firepower one after another, and exchanged fire with the invading royal army. These royal armies were obviously elite, with fierce firepower and accurate marksmanship, and the battle situation was at a stalemate for a while.

As Bob lunged forward, he also fired at the black armor with the gun on his arm. But the bullet he fired only scratched the surface of the black armor.

Bob was a little dumbfounded, and the black armor unhurriedly picked up the Gatling in his hand, aimed at Bob, and poured huge firepower. Several bullets hit Bob's armor in quick succession, and one of the shoulder armors cracked.

Bob realized that his armor would not last long under such firepower, and he did not dare to rush forward hard, so he ran left and right, jumping up and down, dodging the black armor fire while counterattacking with the guns on his arms from time to time.

"Hahahaha! Are you a monkey? Don't run! Come face me up! ”

The black armor came out with the wearer's cruel smile, and Gatling shot wherever Bob ran, and as for Bob's counterattack firepower, it didn't hurt the black armor at all, and he didn't even bother to dodge. While Bob dodged himself, he also had to avoid chasing his own firepower and spreading to the other Rangers, which was quite embarrassing.

But this action also allowed Bob to attract the firepower of the black armor, so that he had no time to attack the others. The Rangers relied on the terrain to block the attack of the Royal Army, and the effect was remarkable, and more and more members of the Royal Army fell.

When another Imperial Army fell at the feet of the black armor, the black-armored wearer realized that something was wrong.

But he didn't seem to care, and raised his arms and shouted: "Little ones, what are you waiting for?" With a secret weapon! ”

At the sound of an order, the remaining members of the Imperial Army did not hesitate at all, and took out a needle one after another and plunged it into their necks.

The liquid in the syringe tube was pushed into the body, and the muscles on the bodies of those royal soldiers swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their expressions became extremely excited.

"? What's the situation? Drugs? Jiaming looked at those royal soldiers and was still surprised, but saw them rush over like fierce beasts.

The Imperial Army, injected with an unknown drug, seemed to have lost their minds and pain, and launched an attack regardless of it. One of them was shot twice, and his movements did not slow down in the slightest, but he threw away his empty gun, drew his machete and continued forward, rushed into the Rangers' bunker, and directly slashed the two closest Rangers.

"Crazy! These guys are crazy! Seeing his companion in front of him being slashed to death, a Ranger member subconsciously pressed the trigger and hit all the bullets in his gun at the rushing royal army.

Until the man was beaten into a hornet's nest and before he fell, he was still brandishing the machete in his hand.

The ranger was so frightened that he didn't notice that another approaching royal army behind him was directly knocked down.

"Save! Help me! ”

Without waiting for his companions to come to his rescue, the royal army that pinned him to the ground opened its mouth and bit his neck like a wild beast, tearing off a large piece of flesh.

Such a lifeless action like a beast shocked the rangers present, and more and more royal troops rushed through the bunkers, and the defense line gradually became loose. The old man, who is the leader, is just as frightened. But he quickly relented and gave new orders.

"Don't panic! Threesomes look for targets and aim at their heads to hit! ”

The old man's command still worked, and after a brief panic, the rangers resumed an orderly counterattack.

Because of the difference in numbers, even if the royal army was fierce and crazy, most of them were quickly wiped out. Seeing his companions gain the upper hand, Bob also gained confidence and gradually closed the distance between himself and the black armor.

The black armor was still chasing Bob with Gatling, completely unaware that Gatling's barrel was getting redder, and after hitting Bob a few more times, he suddenly stopped firing.

Before the black armor could react, he lifted the Gatling and looked at it, only to find that the barrel had overheated and could not be used for a short time.

Bob quickly took the opportunity to fire two shots at the black armor, and after knocking out the Gatling in his hand, the thruster was full of firepower, and he rushed at full speed with a punch.

The armored fist bigger than a basketball slammed down, causing a muffled sound, but instead of hitting the black armored head as Bob thought, the opponent reached out faster and caught it steadily.

Being caught in a fist by this metal hunk twice as big as himself made Bob feel bad.

"Nice try." A sneer came from the black armor: "But...... That's not enough! ”

With that, Black Armor clenched his other hand into a fist, and the thruster hidden in his elbow spewed fire, and the powerful blow hit Bob's chest.

With just one punch, Bob's armor was knocked away and landed in front of the old man. A huge pit appeared in the chest of the armor, and bursts of electric sparks burst out, and he couldn't get up for half a day.

The old man watched Bob being knocked down, and his face was extremely solemn. Black Armor also found that all of his companions had been killed, and only himself was left.

But he just made a slightly playful voice: "Tsk...... It seems that the new test subjects are still not strong enough......"

"Everybody fire! Shred it! ”

The old man gave the order, and all the rangers present fired at the black armor.

More than 100 people gathered fire, bullets kept sparking on the black armor, one of the rangers took out a howitzer, and bombarded the black armor, and the huge body finally took two steps back.

But soon, the black armor regained its footing, and after scanning the surroundings, it gave the command to his AI: "All the remaining rockets are fired!" Firepower covers the area! ”

In an instant, the shoulder armor of the black armor opened, and dozens of miniature rockets rose into the air, and then flew towards the rangers.

The old man looked at the sparks that hit him in mid-air, and his face showed despair.

"Oh...... Damn it! ”
