9. Killing Fields

In the last second before the rocket hit the ground, Bob suddenly stood up and spread his arms, blocking the old man behind him with his body in power armor.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

There were loud bangs and explosions for half a minute, turning the entire area into a sea of fire, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.

The Rangers suffered heavy casualties, and the bodies of the combatants were torn apart everywhere, and many of the living were seriously wounded, more than half of them were killed or wounded.

Because of Bob's sacrifice of life, the old man was not injured, but the power armor was scorched black; The metal casing was shattered, wires and electronic components were exposed, electric sparks erupted, and rising green smoke was emitted.

But even so, the power armor still stood, even with its arms outstretched.

"Bob?"

There was no response, and the old man tentatively stretched out his hand, and just touched the power armor, the tall steel body fell straight forward and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Bob!"

The old man was grief-stricken, and the armor that fell to the ground never heard back from Bob, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

The black armor seemed to be satisfied with his performance, and with a flick of his hand, the two pieces of armor on his right arm parted left and right, and a chainsaw popped out, slowly approaching the old man.

The old man's grief turned to resentment, gritted his teeth, picked up his gun, and fired at the approaching black armor without hesitation.

The bullets kept sparking on the black armor, but they didn't slow him down, and the sound of gunfire mixed with the roar of chainsaws roared through the night.

The black armor got closer and closer, and when he was less than ten meters away from the old man, a person suddenly crawled out of the pile of rubble next to him.

"Protect the Captain!"

Jiaming, whose head was bleeding, jumped out of the stone pile and rushed to the front of the old man with a shout, and his colleague raised his gun and opened fire to prevent the black armor from approaching the old man. The Rangers, who were still able to fight, responded, and one of them picked up a single-shot howitzer and aimed it at the black armor.

The grenade bombardment, which blew up on the black armor, finally made him take a step back.

Jiaming wiped the blood from his face and turned his head: "Regiment leader!" You go! We dragged him down! ”

The old man gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No! I'm the head of the regiment! I'm gone, what are you going to do! ”

"Leave us alone! Flee with the others! ”

"Run? Where else can you escape? The old man looked resolute: "This is the camp we have worked hard to build, as the head of the regiment, I can't give up here, not to mention that we still have so many wounded and civilians, how can we escape?" ”

Jiaming was stunned for a moment, and his expression became more solemn: "That...... What to do? ”

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he seemed to have made some major decision: "I'll go personally!" Hold him off first! ”

"Captain, you won't be thinking about ......"

Jiaming was startled, turned his head and saw that the old man had already run towards the camp, so he hurriedly rushed over and grabbed him: "No! Head! That armor hasn't been repaired yet! And even Bob didn't block it, how could you ......"

"It's an order!" The old man shook off Jiaming: "This is also my responsibility as the head of the regiment." You have to hold on! Wait until I get back! ”

With that, the old man rushed to the depths of the camp.

"!"

Jiaming was helpless, changed the magazine of the gun in his hand, turned around and continued to shoot at the black armor: "Everyone, hold on!" Don't let him in! ”

The only few dozen Ranger combat teams remained resisting with all their might, all their firepower in black armor.

Seeing the old man leaving, the black armor was about to pursue, but he was hit by a howitzer again, and his footsteps retreated again.

As soon as the howitzer ranger pulled out the shells, he saw the black armor twisting its huge metal head and looking at him.

In an instant, the Ranger panicked, and was about to reload his ammunition in a hurry, when he heard the roar of the thrusters approaching at great speed.

Before he could react, the black armor had already rushed to his side, and with a wave of his chainsaw arm, the ranger's body split in two, blood splattering everywhere.

"it!" Seeing his companion fall, Jiaming couldn't help but scold angrily.

Black armor slashes one and rushes at another ranger. After activating the thrusters, the black armor moves extremely fast, and the targeted Rangers don't even have a chance to escape. And the automatic rifles in their hands are completely useless in attacking the black armor.

Black armor wields a chainsaw, playfully and lightly slaughtering the Rangers one by one. Jiaming emptied several magazines in a row, but he still couldn't stop the advance of the black armor, and he couldn't help but be angry.

Inadvertently, Jiaming caught a glimpse of the lookout not far away, as well as the M2 heavy machine gun erected on it. With a heart, he simply threw away the weak firepower in his hand and rushed over bypassing the black armor.

Climbing up to the lookout with all his might, the black armor will cut down another Ranger. With anger, Jiaming grabbed the heavy machine gun and pulled the bolt: "Draft!" Death to Lao Tzu! ”

"Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly."

50 mm caliber shells fell to the ground, and ferocious fire poured on the back of the black armor.

The black armor was shaken, and when he turned his head to see the attack on the lookout, he directly carried the fire of the heavy machine gun and pushed through, and with a sweep of the chainsaw, he cut off the support pillar of the lookout.

The "Lying ......" lookout collapsed instantly, Jiaming exclaimed, and his figure disappeared into the raised dust.

There weren't many Ranger Combat Team left, and the black armor seemed to be running out of patience, so after cutting down the closest Ranger with his hand, he stopped chasing the others and rushed straight in the direction where the old man had fled.

At this time, Yan Na was still searching in the rest area of the camp. The civilians and wounded who had been found before were taken by the search team to the third line of defense on the other side of the camp, but after counting, it was found that there were still a few civilians missing, and they were all old people and children.

As the captain, Yan Na insisted that it was her responsibility and ordered everyone else to stay inside the defense line and go out to find it alone.

After walking around twice, Yan Na glanced at the tent in the corner and seemed to have a figure, and hurriedly rushed over. Sure enough, there was an old woman hiding behind the tent. The old woman was holding a metal cane, and when she saw Yan Na appear, her rickety body trembled, as if she was frightened. She was also one of the elderly couple who came to the camp last week.

When Yan Na first saw them, she was very emotional, this old couple seemed to be dying people, and it was a miracle that they could still survive in this cruel world. Because they can't carry their shoulders and can't pick them, they basically don't assign any tasks, and only let them occasionally help cook for everyone.

"Old man, why are you still here!" Yan Na hurriedly went over to help the old woman up. It took a long time for the old woman to stand up: "The old bones can't keep up with you, I haven't reacted yet, everyone is gone, and my wife doesn't know where to go......"

"Don't worry, I'll find him, take you to a safe place first."

Yan Na ran as fast as she could, worrying about the other people who had not yet been found, secretly praying that they were all safe at the moment and could wait until she found them.

Suddenly, Yan Na remembered Rayson. It seems that I haven't seen him since I came out of the old man's tent.

Yan Na began to worry about Rayson's safety; I don't know where he went, I don't seem to see him with the combat team, should I ...... Already gone through the back door, right? However, even if he leaves, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, after all, he is not a ranger, so there is no need to wade into this troubled water.

As she was running and thinking, a huge figure suddenly fell from the sky, interrupting Yan Na's thoughts.

The black armor chased the old man and was going deep into the camp, but he met Yan Na and them unexpectedly.

Seeing the murderous chainsaw, Yan Na immediately realized that the black armor was friend or foe.

"Old man, you go first!"

Yan Na instructed the old woman, picked up her submachine gun and met the black armor alone.

The bullets from the submachine gun hit the black armor like a drizzle, and it didn't have any effect. Seeing this, Yan Na didn't give up and took out another grenade and threw it over.

The black armor had also noticed Yan Na earlier, and directly stretched out his big metal hand to catch the grenade, allowing it to explode in his hand.

There was a muffled sound, and the green smoke of the explosion came out of the clenched metal hand, but it did not cause him substantial damage. Yan Na couldn't help but be angry, and she changed the magazine of the submachine gun and wanted to continue the attack, but saw the black armor activate the thruster and jumped up.

As if annoyed, Black Armor raised the chainsaw and jumped up to pounce on Yan Na. Seeing the huge figure approaching rapidly, Yan Na was stunned for a while, and in the next second, blood would be splattered on the spot.

"Get down!"

An old voice came from behind her, and Yan Na immediately came back to her senses and subconsciously fell to the ground.

It was a rusty, torn power armor on its left shoulder. At the moment when Yan Na lay down, the broken armor hugged a huge cement pillar, turned in a semicircle, and hit the black armor that rushed in.

This blow was so powerful that it knocked the black armor out like a baseball, and the cement pillar shattered.

"Grandpa? How are you? What about Bob? Yan Na got up, looking at the broken armor with a worried face. This is the old man's exclusive armor, and the previous damage has not been repaired. She didn't expect the old man to bring it out at this time.

"Bob is down! The combat team can't stop him, so I have to do it. The old man's solemn words came from the broken armor. Watch as the black armor crawled up and raised his right arm to him again.

"Mechanical claws! Launch! ”

The right hand of the broken armor shifted, several fingers apart, turned into a claw shape, and shot at the black armor with a tow rope, which was right on his arm.

"I am the leader of the Rangers and must fight until the last moment. If I don't stop him, you'll leave with the guys!" ”

There was no extra nonsense, the old man instructed, and then activated the thruster of the broken armor and flew out, dragging the black armor away from Yan Na with the mechanical claw.

"Grandpa!"

Seeing the broken armor dragging the black armor that was one size larger than it away, Yan Na couldn't help but worry, but at the moment, she couldn't help much, so she could only be anxious.

When I turned around, I found that the old woman I found just now hadn't gone far at all.

"Old man, why are you still here?" Yan Na couldn't help but be angry. The old woman leaned on her crutches and trembled, "I'm sorry...... Old Bones...... I can't go fast......"

"Forget it, I'll carry you!" Yan Na directly carried the old woman on her back and rushed to the third line of defense.

"Ahem...... I'm sorry for the trouble. In this world, there are not many good people like you......" The old woman's hoarse voice came, and Yan Na kept walking: "Since you choose to join here, the rangers will definitely protect you!" ”

Yan Na's words, with incomparable firmness and pride, the old woman lay on Yan Na's back, still holding her crutches in her hand, and smiled inexplicably.

It's just that her smile is not kind and grateful, but faintly with a hint of ...... Greed that succeeds.

At this time, the broken armor had already dragged the black armor to the outskirts of the camp, and the main battlefield where the most intense fighting had just begun.

"The thruster is overheating and will be suspended for forced cooling ......"

The AI with the broken armor sent a reminder, and the old man quickly flicked his right arm, and the mechanical claw with the tow rope was released at the same time, throwing the black armor out. The huge metal body fell to the ground, and the scorched earth that stirred up the ground rolled around twice, but in the end, it was still a little bit close to throwing him out of the camp gate.

The damaged armor landed on the ground, and the old man shouted to the rangers present: "You can still walk!" Bring the ones that can't walk! All retreat to the third line of defense! Everybody go! That's an order! ”

At the sound of an order, the dozen or so Rangers present left with a few wounded soldiers, leaving the battlefield with two power armors.

The black armor got up from the ground, facing the broken armor, the helmet opened, revealing a hideous face full of horizontal flesh, and said with a mocking smile: "You are worthy of the commander of the rangers, Roger, you old bones and two brushes, I underestimate you." ”

Old man Roger was not polite at all: "Warthog, I guessed it was you." Only a timid guy like you would hide in an iron shell and let his men come out and play with their lives. ”

"My men? No, no, no, they're just my pets, and they're only worthy of being my experiments. Not qualified to be my subordinate. ”

The warthog smiled again, with a sickly pride on his face: "How's it going?" What I brought to play this time, is it even more fierce than the previous ones? They injected it, but it took me a long time to come up with a new formula. You should be honored to be able to witness my first experiments with the new formula. ”

Thinking of the group of royal soldiers who were crazy like beasts after being injected with unknown drugs, Roger's eyes were even more disgusted: "You are really a madman. ”

The warthog looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Geniuses are crazy!" I accept your compliments. But well...... I'm still not satisfied with the results of this experiment. ”

As he spoke, the warthog raised his black-armored right arm and admired it with a look of intoxication: "I still prefer this new toy in comparison." I already know the effect of the fire test, but as for the effect of close combat......"

"Roger! It's up to you to be my test target! ”

Black Armor closed his helmet and leaped to his feet, swinging a chainsaw at Old Man Roger's broken armor.

Roger hurriedly crossed his arms against the arm of the chainsaw where the black armor fell. The two armors began to wrestle.

Soon, the joints of the damaged armor made a grinding sound, and the metal body, which was one size smaller than the black armor, began to sink, and the feet gradually sank into the scorched earth on the ground.

Realizing that he couldn't bear the strength of the hard fight, Roger turned his body with his rich combat experience, grabbed the arm of the black armor and made an over-the-shoulder fall.

The black armor was thrown out again, but the warthog inside didn't seem to be annoyed, and let out an excited voice: "Not bad! Very good! That's the kind of fight I want. That way, when I kill you, I won't find it so boring. ”

Roger caught a glimpse of an abandoned car next to him. Before the black armor stood up, he slammed a heavy fist on the body of the car in the past, and with a few more blows, the car was directly torn in half. Then he grabbed half of the body with both hands, and used it as a huge fist glove.

As soon as the black armor stood up, it made close contact with the waving half of the body. The broken armor grabbed the fist of the car and struck with a series of heavy punches, and the black armor was beaten backwards.

While the car fist gloves hit the black armor, they also kept falling apart, various parts kept falling, and the car fist gloves kept getting smaller.

The broken armor jumped up and punched again, finally knocking down the black armor, and the car gloves were completely shattered into slag, leaving only one axle in his hand.

Seeing the black armor fall to the ground, Roger hurriedly rode over to him, switched out the mechanical claw, and struck him the head.

But the winning blow was blocked by the black armor with a chainsaw. The chainsaw and the mechanical claw clashed into sparks, and the two mechs began to wrestle again.

"Not bad, Roger." The black armor came from the warthog's cruel smile: "Such low-level armor can still force me to this point." ”

Roger sneered, his armor was only level 5 of the angry general, not as good as Bob, much weaker than the black armor, but he was confident that as a wearer, his combat experience was definitely far better than that of a warthog: "No matter how strong the armor is, it depends on who is using it." ”

"That's right...... But it doesn't make sense! The warthog sneered, and the fire of the thruster suddenly erupted from under the black armor. Roger was still riding on the black armor, and he didn't react, and was taken into the air together.

In mid-air, the black armor grabbed the head of the broken armor directly and threw it to the ground.

The torn armor fell to the ground with a thud and a boom of dust.

The dust cleared, the torn armored helmet fell off, and he collapsed on the ground, unable to move. The black armor followed to the ground, but this time, it was replaced by him condescendingly, stepping on the broken armor.

Roger's face was full of pain, the torn armor was completely broken, the cuirass was shattered and leaking oil, and the thrusters were deflated, bursting with bursts of electric sparks.

"After today...... There will be no more Beacon Rangers. The warthog's chainsaw pointed at Roger's face, and his voice was extremely arrogant: "Don't worry, when you die, I will definitely make good use of your people, I am worried that there are no new experiments." ”

"You madman......" Roger was completely unable to resist as he was trampled by the warthog's black armor, and the smell of chainsaw oil poured into his nostrils, signaling that his death was imminent.

Black Armor raised the chainsaw and slashed at Roger's head.

Seeing that it was only an inch, the chainsaw was about to touch Roger's face,

Suddenly, a ball of fire suddenly exploded on the black armor's body, and then flew out with the black smoke after the explosion.

Roger was startled, turned his head and saw that Rayson had just thrown away the rocket launcher in his hand, and was still carrying a few picked up guns and bullet belts, and walked over.

Obviously, it was he who used a rocket to blast the black armor away and save the life of the Ranger leader Roger.

Rayson walked over and glanced at Roger, who was still slumped on the ground.

"The thing you promised me hasn't been done yet, and you can't die yet."
