Chapter 42: The Rat King
The accident of No. 1 is like a crack in the section of the dam, and the crack is rapidly expanding, and if it is not strengthened in time, the consequences will be catastrophic. However, apart from Zheng Feiyu, Jiang Hanqiu and Qi Xiaodie did not have any spare strength to help the past. And Zheng Feiyu, the person Zhao Feng knows best, knows her strength best, and he doesn't want to use it yet.
The Rat King is still far away, and the diggers around him are even stronger. In a war, it is very unwise to reveal all your hole cards at the beginning. This means that the war is out of control. For Zhao Feng, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 are all existences that can be exposed, and their strength is not strong, so they can be put on the bright side. As for No. 3, the development direction is a long-range sniper, and what is currently exposed is also long-range ability, and Zhao Feng is not very clear about his own strength, which can be regarded as a dispensable shadow. Zhao Feng pinned his hopes of victory on Zheng Feiyu.
Let Zheng Feiyu expose all his strength, which can temporarily alleviate the current crisis, but there is no room for backhand in the future. Without exposure, the team will be immediately overwhelmed, which is also a failure. Zhao Feng has made a decision, let's focus on the present! Otherwise, there wouldn't even be a back!
Zheng Feiyu also fought fiercely during this time. In fact, she knew from the beginning that Zhao Feng was retaining her strength, and No. 1 Tang Yu was in crisis next to her, how could she not know? Actually, it wasn't too hard for her to support the past, because she had noticed that she had been making rapid progress lately, especially after her last two missions. She speculated that it was the change in her body after cultivating Zhao Feng's modified body.
She previously thought that the body technique was a fourth-order, but the effect was so obvious, she raised it by one order, every time she exercised, the numbness in her body always appeared, and it had never stopped in the past few months, and the changes in her body in the last two combat missions were especially obvious, which made her feel like she was reborn. She didn't know what stage she was in now, maybe it was the middle of the third order, or the late stage, and her strength had jumped compared to a few months ago.
Save, they can turn the corner from danger to safety. If you don't save it, it's all over. It's a good choice. However, Zhao Feng has not had instructions in this regard, which made her hesitate.
She knew that she couldn't observe the overall situation, she didn't know Zhao Feng's specific arrangements, and if she acted without permission, it was likely to disrupt the entire deployment. What was in front of her was a difficult decision.
Zheng Feiyu seemed to hear Tang Yu's panicked voice, and the digging rat bit on the armor of the mecha, which greatly affected her actions. If she stumbles and falls, the surging diggers will devour the entire mech, including the entire mech, in less than a minute. To save, or not to save.
To save, or not to save, in fact, it can also be converted into believing, or not believing. Zheng Feiyu has always had doubts about Zhao Feng's true identity in her heart. Zhao Feng has many secrets, and she tries to find out the answers, but she doesn't know how to do it.
This little child always has an innocent face, always smiles at her, and even makes her feel a little guilty. When she was with Zhao Feng, she felt comfortable and relaxed.
Naturally. It seems that there is a kind of magical magic around Zhao Feng, which makes people feel close unconsciously. That is actually because of the aura, because Zhao Feng is cultivating the mental method, he will spontaneously guide the aura between heaven and earth to converge towards him, of course, people can't refuse.
"Bang." A gunshot made Zheng Feiyu wake up from that momentary hesitation. It was the gun fired by No. 3 Liu Lan, she shot at Tang Yu, no, she shot at the diggers on Tang Yu's mecha. Listening to the sound does not seem to be an ordinary electromagnetic bullet. Because the gunfire was even more shrill.
Soon she knew the answer, it was an armor-piercing bullet. Armor-piercing shells are very penetrating and can even penetrate the armor on the sides of mechs. Therefore, the bullet directly penetrated the digging rat on Tang Yu's mecha, and continued to shoot in that direction for more than a hundred meters before it exploded into a small fireball in the air.
"Bang bang." Liu Lan continued to shoot. The wounded digger didn't show the slightest sign of relenting, its sharp claws frantically trying to break through the iron lump, and scratches several centimeters deep appeared densely with its movements.
"With a shock bomb." Zhao Feng made a decision. "Be careful to keep your balance and don't get knocked down by the shock wave."
The shock wave bomb randomly exploded in mid-air, and the invisible shock wave distorted the air for a while, spreading rapidly in an oval shape, and then the violent air wave swept away, flying sand and rocks. The mechs weighing several tons stumbled one by one, almost ready to take off.
The shock bomb exploded, and the diggers within a radius of 200 meters were thrown into the air, and then fell. A small number of diggers in the central area even bled from the seven orifices, some died, some were seriously injured and unconscious.
After the shockwave, all five of them were dizzy, and the invisible shock wave pierced through the mecha and reflected on them. Although the mech's passive defense system blocked and absorbed most of the torrent flow, they were still overloaded by this pressure in a very short period of time, and could exceed 30 g in an instant. You must know that people of the third order can generally only withstand a pressure overload of 18 g.
Fortunately, it was an instantaneous overload, otherwise they would have died. Of course, Zheng Feiyu was the first to reply, she supported the team members' mecha to keep it stable, and her eyes were directed towards the battlefield. The crisis was lifted for the time being, but the diggers rushed again.
It was really an uphill battle, and the diggers launched wave after wave of desperate charges, the third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave. Liu Lan's inventory of special ammunition is also getting less and less, and every time in the most dangerous time, she can only use her inventory ammunition to clear the field, and now it is almost about to bottom, and in the entire field, the number of diggers has not decreased, but has increased, and a new batch of diggers have emerged underground.
The five of them did not have the slightest respite, and only had a short break after clearing the field with special ammunition. Now that they were exhausted, they were nearing the end of their crossbows, and the rush of the diggers was still a source of despair.
Zhao Feng also knew that it was not a way to go on like this. He felt that his condition had dropped slightly. And the night is still deep, deep. "Number 3, how many armor-piercing shells do you have?"
Armor-piercing shells are the most remaining ammunition of No. 3, because of all the ammunition types, armor-piercing shells are currently the least useful.
"95."
"Very well, now you leave them alone, I want you to shoot all the armor-piercing bullets at that rat king."
"But it's a little far away."
"Electromagnetic bullets do, so can armor-piercing bullets." Zhao Feng slapped the board. "I don't ask you to kill the Rat King, you just have to provoke it and drive it crazy. It's the only way to go. ”
"Okay, I'll do my best."
"It's not an effort, it's a must!"
Liu Lan found the marking point, which was the location of the Rat King. The Rat King is cautious and always hides behind an adult digger. Occasionally, it pokes its head out and then quickly retracts.
Without Liu Lan's support, the pressure on the four mecha fighting on the front line increased sharply, and the stumps of the digging rats continued to fly down, and from time to time the blood of the digging rats was splashed, but they were still holding on.
It was a commendable night.
Liu Lan tried to keep her hand steady, and she took a deep breath, as she seemed to calm down, because she had tried a dozen times in a row, but not a single armor-piercing bullet hit the rat king.
Without precise points, she could have done better, but she missed again and again. She didn't know if there was something wrong with the electromagnetic rifle itself, so she changed the gun.
The gunshots rang out again, and she still missed. The closest one, the bullet was also thirty centimeters away from the rat king. Without precise coordinates, she felt like she couldn't hit at all. Because, the Rat King is also moving, and she can't grasp the specific movements of the Rat King. "I need coordinates." She sent a message to Zheng Feiyu.
Zhao Feng didn't want to locate it, but this rat king was very cunning, and it was very alert, especially Liu Lan's obvious shot at it made it hide. To hit it, you can now only pierce the digger in front of it. Each time an armor-piercing projectile penetrates, its trajectory shifts, so it is even more difficult to hit.
Shot after shot, she tried ten more shots, but the impact point still didn't hit even a single hair of the Rat King. The armor-piercing projectile exploded in the distance, becoming a harmless firework. When she was about to change the gun again, Zhao Feng stopped her: "It's not the problem of the gun, the rat king is dodging, and in addition, the trajectory is offset." ”
"What then?"
"That's it, go on, let it lose patience. No matter how cunning it is, it's always a brute, and it always makes mistakes. Don't worry about us, we're doing our best, and you're doing your best. ”
Liu Lan once again focused on the Rat King, and although the captain's words relieved her stress, she still felt guilty. The first four people were under more than ten times as much pressure as she was, and she couldn't even do something as simple as that. She shook her head, put all the distractions behind her, and continued shooting.
She didn't know how many shots she had fired, and her fingers seemed to be aching excruciatingly, and her body was overloaded with overload from the continuous firing. Armor-piercing bullets have a strong recoil, and while the mech is not knocked back by the recoil, her body will withstand its impact every time it fires. Each overload is above 20g. It is also for this reason that snipers are extremely rare at the lower ranks.
"With a blaster." Zhao Feng gave an order. After Liu Lan's dozens of misses, the Rat King relaxed his vigilance, and it was no longer as alert as before. He even shows his head from time to time to mock the incompetence of his opponent. It felt safe, and even if the armor-piercing bullet hit it, it was confident that it would be fine. "Two bursting bombs, these are two coordinates." The words fell, and the countdown had reached zero.
"Bang bang." It was the bombardment of machine guns. The warhead of the blasting bullet is the size of an adult's fist, which is much larger than the caliber of a special bullet.
