20.3 Bloody rivers and lakes
Beginning in February 545 of the Apocalypse Calendar, due to some deep-seated reasons, the Polar Star Gate on the side of the Patrol Plains retaliated and increased its infiltration into the northern part of Qianchuan.
With the righteous path of the northern rivers and lakes, the French warriors who patrolled the original country launched a purge.
The fighting between the two sides on the rivers and lakes has become more and more intense, and a number of vicious cases have occurred in the north in the past few days.
For example, at the beginning of this year, in the territory of Qianchuan, on the highway of the old land of Hanshan.
A convoy of trucks, all twenty people were killed. Instead of plundering the convoy's cargo, the attackers drew a blood-colored ratchet symbol in red paint.
The local government suppressed the matter, but reprimanded the people on the rivers and lakes, demanding that the problem be resolved quickly.
……
In the past, when the bloody young people of the Jianghu sect faced the official documents issued by the government.
will be very indignant at the inaction of these fat-headed and big-eared bureaucrats, how can they appoint themselves to these chivalrous people? The high-level elders who will question the martial arts in the sect, why should they be hypocritical? If you are more aggressive, you will even draw your sword and go alone!
But last year, after the Tianquan Gate was knocked on by a young man with a suspected military background, this generation of young people on the rivers and lakes became modest.
Reality tells them that the bureaucrats above are not only suppressing the rivers and lakes, but also the forces within the military system, and some people are even more ruthless than them.
[In this world, not only the children of Guangjiang Lake have sword blades (force) in their hands, and the military young Zhuang faction has a mecha machine cannon]
Now the fat-headed and big-eared bureaucrats in the north are arrogantly cursing Tianquanmen to solve the matter quickly, not just arrogantly, but really urgent.
If this matter cannot be resolved in the rivers and lakes, the emerging 'military young Zhuang faction' may have to make a big deal out of it. It is said that this year, the funds on the Blazing White side have become more and more abundant, and the scale of the Dragon Guard Mecha Legion has also become larger and larger.
In the past, the expansion of the military was limited by funding.
Now, the students of the Dragon Guard Military Academy have laid the foundation, and the students of Yanghe Business have been trained at the grassroots level to build a civilian structure, and the authority of the foundation of the armed forces has been carefully supported to the entire "power structure" to run the economy, and in turn enough funds have been made to supply the foundation of the armed forces, which is a virtuous circle that is growing stronger and stronger. Moving forward like a road roller, various private industries in the north have encountered competition.
The local councillors now hate the "cancer" created by Blazing White, but this lawsuit is still in the process of a long litigation to eradicate this cancer.
Therefore, they are now doing everything possible to cut off the social investigation team so that it will not continue to grow, so they will force the sects in the rivers and lakes to quickly strengthen their control over the lower levels, and stop giving the military young Zhuang faction an excuse to take over the local snowball.
To a certain extent, due to the new system of the blazing white structure, the Jianghu sect and the local chaebol have been grouped together.
And now, Tianquanmen and other righteous people in the north will act much more paralyzed than in the past, and it is rare for these Jianghu heroes to act in unison without arrogance.
……
Therefore, when Blazing Phoenix passed around the blazing laboratory in a car, it was actually preparing to participate in this battle of the Northern Righteous Path's Demon Elimination and Guardian Path.
This is also the reason for a certain young Great Wall - as the head of the sect, when mobilizing the forces within the sect at this time, he had to be fair and let his granddaughter also participate in this action.
October 7, 545 in the Apocalypse calendar.
Right now, Blazing Phoenix is wearing a butterfly-level light exoskeleton mecha and sitting on an armed vehicle, and Blazing Phoenix understands the nearby situation through the holographic topographic map of the eyepiece.
And at high altitude within three kilometers of the car, three drones are telemetry the situation on the ground.
In this battle of rivers and lakes, although Tianquanmen is in the light and the enemy is in the dark, Tianquanmen has the home advantage in equipment and numbers.
According to the display of the hologram.
Several groups of her teammates are searching the area of 150 kilometers, and at the moment on a certain road shown on the electronic map, the green dots representing the blazing phoenix are moving on the map (she is driving on this road) One by one, the dots representing her own side are on the map, and the blue dots are her teammates.
Fourteen minutes later, the blue dot fifteen kilometers from the center of the circle suddenly turned yellow, and circles of ripples spread across the map. A warning prompt was issued. The mechanical lid on the side of the car's steering wheel turned up automatically, and an operating platform was aimed at her.
Blazing Phoenix tapped a display button on the platform, and the communication screen of his teammates fifteen kilometers away appeared on the eyepiece.
……
Fifteen kilometers away.
Jia Lu, a member of the Tianquan Gate Dark Group, was wearing an investigation suit that could change color with the environment, hooking his waist and observing the surroundings vigilantly, while the eyepiece on his cheek was collecting, analyzing, and processing the infrared information around him.
As a veteran of the Tianquan Gate Dark Group, he already sensed that something was not normal here. On this wide farm, you can smell rancid dung, as well as the smell of fresh blood. But there was no sound of insects here.
The strange calm of this place made Jia Lu suppress her breathing to the minimum, and her movements were as quiet as a lizard climbing a tree.
But the power ligaments underneath his suit were already taut. A row of brackets on the arm has also been quietly wound, and inside this bracket is a poison dart. Due to its flamboyance when activated, this weapon is known as the Fire Feather Blade in the rivers and lakes.
Jia Lu walked to the door of the wooden farm warehouse, stopped, and opened the box around his waist. A scout dragonfly flew out and entered the house with translucent wings.
At this time, there was a slight electric shock on the back of Jia Lu's hand, which was a signal that prompted him to receive the call.
Jia Lu turned the corner, put an eyepiece on one eye, and started a conversation with the young leader of the Blazing family in the back.
Blazing Phoenix: "Jia Lu, you are only responsible for keeping an eye on you, and you will act after we come over." The eldest lady now shows the calmness of leading affairs in the school.
However, her calmness, this old Jianghu is unwilling to agree.
Jia Lu: "Miss Biaofeng, there is no lurking place nearby, I think the other party has discovered me." ”
His other eyepiece, which did not have eyepieces, was like a night tree, watching the situation around him.
As a veteran of the dark group, Jia Lu understands that in the current situation, in order to prevent being discovered by the enemy's small electronic reconnaissance machinery, every corner should not stay for a long time.
……
In fact, all the combat skills such as the so-called 'special forces' need to keep pace with the times, because the things that used to be called empirical skills will become stupid after technological advancement.
In World War II, Stalingrad's defensive battles relying on the complex terrain of the city are classics. In the three wars, drones patrolled at various traffic entrances, and the way to play cloud burst bombs drilling windows was scum. Similarly, when infrared observation lenses became widespread, traditional night combat tactics died out. If there are still veteran special forces who take the theory of night infiltration as a guideline, then sooner or later they will be said, "My lord, times have changed."
Similarly, when the miniature scout technology was born, the traditional sniper's way of squatting in a pit and squatting for a day to ambush people also changed.
The Electronic Scout Bug makes the battlefield an order of magnitude clearer. To make matters worse, the insects are so small that they are difficult to distinguish when flying three or four meters overhead, so lurking humans are sometimes spotted without even knowing it.
……
The electronic detection bug in this world was also developed by the military first, the purpose! It is used to fight against xenomorphs in the mountains.
The Tianquan Sect got second-hand models. And due to the needs of private fighting, the tactical system is more complex than that of the army.
Jia Lu, a reconnaissance dragonfly, had just flown to the farm and photographed various rooms along the way when it encountered electromagnetic interference. The entire monitoring screen of the flying insects was covered with snowflakes.
On Jia Lu's eyepiece, in the last picture taken by the reconnaissance dragonfly, he saw a cow fall to the ground, as if there was a fist-sized hematoma on its neck, compressing the organs, making the cow's limbs twitch and make it difficult to breathe. Then the picture cuts off.
Although he had only seen this very brief scene, Jia Lu had already guessed what it was.
"Bloodthirsty Birds!" Jia Lu whispered.
[Six hundred years ago, the profession of Soul Master in the Eastern and Western Continents was still very prosperous, and with the development of science and technology hundreds of years ago, this profession has gradually retreated from the mainstream. However, with the progress of biological spore technology and mechanical fusion technology in the past hundred years, this profession has flourished in the field of special warfare technology.
The bloodthirsty bird was originally a docile omnivorous bird, but it can be fed with special methods and can become a pure carnivore. And the speed of flight is also very fast, and the beak of the bird appears jagged. Even more deadly is the growth of a stinger on the tongue. Very difficult in the dark. 】
Jia Lu looked at the farm and was sure that the enemy was nearby. He began to slowly retreat into the clearing, focusing on his feet and everything around him.
If there is a bloodthirsty bird, it means that there is a spirit master, and a spirit master will not have only one kind of spirit master.
Suddenly, after feeling something strange on the ground.
Jia Lu quickly jumped to the side, his movements comparable to that of a civet cat, and in his original position, the loess layer exploded, and a half-machine, half-creature tentacle-like thing sprang out of the ground.
This is a semi-mechanical beast equipped with elastic polymer materials, with biological agility and mechanical explosive power.
Of course, the sudden burst out of the soil layer is not only possible with elastic materials and mechanical power, but also uses the explosive power of explosives to push the soil layer apart, so that it can suddenly escape from the ground.
At the moment of sprang out, the tentacles of this mechanical synthetic beast bent rapidly, and the part of the snake's head of each tentacle opened metal petals, and the steel needles on the petals were fiercely aimed at Jia Lu's direction.
As the gunpowder on the petals exploded, the clusters of steel needles swept over in a face.
Jia Lu snorted and quickly retreated, pulled out the steel needle and injected a tube of blue-white medicine (toxin decomposer) into his injured arm.
And as he was doing this, he suddenly flicked his wrist, and a fire feather blade flew towards the window of the farm, and at a distance of forty-five meters, the blade flew like a streamer. It's still weaker than the speed of a bullet.
After seeing the flying blade coming, the patrolman who was preparing to mend the knife with his firearm in the window suddenly lowered his head and dodged the direct shot, but when the knife hit the ceiling, a mechanical lever popped out, and the blade changed direction abruptly after the impact like a shuttlecock meeting a racket, and the folded line bounced back to the back of the patrolman in the middle of the window.
After the blade sank into the human body, a muffled sound came from the flesh. The air cylinder in the blade blew a blood basin on the assailant's back, and the man instantly fell to the ground.
However, Jia Lu was not happy, and fled in a hurry.
After scurrying back to safety, he ripped off the covering from his arm. I found that the heavy wound on my arm was like a worm writhing, spreading black lines.
"High-energy virus" - Jia Lu thought of this word in horror. Gritting his teeth, he picked up the anesthetic syringe from his waist, thrust it into his shoulder, quickly cut the pain nerve in his arm, and took the knife and scraped off the black flesh on his arm without hesitation.
On microscopic carbon molecules, viruses that incorporate high-energy elements are able to replicate at an astonishing rate when there is abundant organic matter. Conventional viruses, such as rabies, usually occur two to four weeks with noticeable symptoms. But at present, the high-energy virus that comes out of the workshop-level scientific research laboratory in Qianchuan is also fatal within a few hours after infection.
[The weapon-grade virus taken out by the large laboratory of the Qianchuan government can even kill or mutate people within a few minutes. - Except, of course, for those who can regenerate cells and decompose microorganisms. 】
After Jia Lu endured the pain and stripped off a piece of meat with a knife, he injected another injection of dispelling serum, and the black wriggling on the skin was like a leech scalded by boiling water, and after a few convulsions, he did not move, and a large amount of pus seeped out from the pores of the skin.
What Jia Lu has just injected is a potion version of microbial decomposition, which has a short storage period and is expensive. But it is a must for walking the rivers and lakes.
After barely catching a breath and making sure that he had left before the ghost gate closed, Jia Lu exhaled deeply and picked up the gauze to tie a knot on his shoulder. As for the rest of the residual poison, it has to wait until I go back and use special medical equipment to recover my whole body.
Leaning against the door of the abandoned feed warehouse outside the farm, he carefully checked whether he had left any marks around.
Jia Lu picked up the communicator and said in a somewhat weak voice: "I have already killed one person, and the other party is at least three or four people." ”
……
On the highway, the blazing phoenix stepped on the accelerator: "Stay put, we will come to support you immediately." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Blazing Feng's tone, obviously thinking that Jia Lu had disobeyed orders and had been injured.
Jia Lu also heard what Blazing Feng meant, and while pulling out a bandage to wrap it around his wound, he said with a slight smile: "I can still hold out for half an hour, eldest lady, you have to bring enough people." And I still need to keep moving outside, because that's how it is safe. ”
Seeing that his suggestion was ignored, Blazing Feng said angrily: "You?! But suddenly, she reflected rationally on her qualifications and was not reassuring.
Then he said patiently: "Then it will be troublesome to the seniors." ”
Seeing this, Jia Lu expressed his gratitude, and then casually narrated (explained): "Well, eldest miss, in this kind of battle between the rivers and lakes, the weaker you are, the more you can't show your cowardice. If I had gone back to before, even though I knew I would be injured now, I would still choose to take the initiative. ”
Blazing Feng was stunned and began to listen.
Seeing this, Jia Lu nodded in her heart and continued to teach the experience of the rivers and lakes: "If I hid directly just now, when they noticed my traces, they would immediately encircle and suppress me without hesitation." I have only one person, and if I encounter their active encirclement and suppression, I will be defeated.
And now that I take the initiative and kill one, the rest of the people will have to think carefully about how to deal with me now, and they hesitate, so I have time to hide. ”
Blazing Phoenix's rivers and lakes are inexperienced, but his EQ and IQ are not low, and he soon became abrupt.
The battle in the rivers and lakes is like a hungry wolf and a cunning fox fighting, when they bite each other, they are also guarding against each other.
In the communication, Blazing Feng said slightly apologetically: "Thank you for your advice." ”
After a few seconds, she couldn't help but think of the person who was in the laboratory a few days ago, and couldn't help but say silently in her heart: "Perhaps, he has already seen the rivers and lakes clearly...... That's what it looks like. ”
