Volume 1 The Battle of Dashun Harbor [11] Reconnaissance Operations

The building, which has not been maintained for 6 years, has all the glass shattered, the dust is a finger thick, there has been a fire in the factory area, many places have collapsed, and the walls of the factory buildings and warehouses that are still standing are blackened.

Because the clouds obscured the moon, everywhere was shrouded in darkness, and only a little outline of the eaves could be seen.

Insect robots weave through dense and crazy bushes, some fall on dead wood branches, some climb onto the roof of the workshop, and some drill through holes in various broken walls.

"Boss, why can't you see clearly, can you make the picture brighter?" Liu Lang frowned, looked at the dark picture everywhere, and asked in a low voice.

"Please call me Chu Zhongtian!"

"Oh, okay, Comrade Chu Zhongtian, my brain hurts, can you brighten it up a little?"

"No, the night vision device is too big for this ovoid robot to fit."

"Alright then, sir!"

“……”

The office building where they are located is about 150 meters away from the production workshop, the factory area is very large, there are three huge warehouses on the right, a special steel workshop and a general steel workshop on the left, and many large loading vehicles are placed horizontally and vertically in the middle.

The "Steward" steered the robots in a search, but none of them could find the location of the mutant giant.

The footage of the reconnaissance was shared on the public channel of the Dreadnought Regiment, and everyone was nervously watching the situation here.

The head of the regiment asked in a deep voice, "Nantes, are you sure it's right here?" ”

Nantes said firmly: "Believe me, regimental commander, it is in this factory!" ”

"How can you be so sure? What is the intelligence to back it up? ”

"Intuition!"

"What's that? Gut feeling? You're playing with the whole group! ”

Just when Nantes didn't know how to explain, the "manager" interjected: "Commander, you have to believe him, this guy's intuition is even more accurate than the prediction!" Countless battles have proven it! ”

"Uh...... If you don't find an enemy before dawn, get back and be punished! ”

Nantes said yes again and again, and the next moment the system prompted: "Nantes has withdrawn from the public channel!" ”

The whole group was dumbfounded......

The hornet robot flew in through a window and flew all the way to the gantry hook in the middle of the room. From this angle, you can look down on the entire workshop. But it was too dark, and there was no light source in the workshop, so I just felt that it was dark everywhere, and I didn't know what it was.

A spider robot climbs over the bricks and rubble, through layers of ruins, and finally reaches the depths of the workshop.

"Second Master" suddenly said: "Stop, there is movement here, I just moved, it seems to be a hand." ”

The "manager" carefully controlled the other robots to enter the various workshops and warehouses, as a dark cloud moved away, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and all the robotic perspectives began to become clear, but the pest team and the more than 300 melon-eating people of the dreadnought group were so shocked that they didn't dare to speak.

Every screen was a dense crowd of mutant creatures, all gray-skinned, scrawny, lying all over the ground. If it weren't for the fact that they were lying on their chests together, and occasionally turning over and scratching their bellies, I would have thought that this was a large morgue.

"Oh my God, are we here at their base camp?" Even Liu Lang, who had always been impatient and aggressive, gasped and bent over and didn't dare to move.

"I see the old horse!" The voice of the "second master", who has always been sharp-eyed, became urgent, and everyone followed her instructions to search for the blurred figure in the picture.

The old horse was hung in mid-air, across the bridge on the third floor of the workshop, with a chain wrapped around his waist. The old horse was still wearing alloy armor from the waist down, but his chest, abdomen, shoulders and back had been violently damaged, and his upper body was exposed.

There are two virus-infected mutants roaming around the metal bridge, which appear to be standing guard and patrolling.

Nantes and the "Second Master" glanced at each other, and they both read a trace of horror in each other's eyes: "I thought that the intelligence of the infected people infected with the virus was very low, but I didn't expect that there was a corresponding organizational structure." ”

But it also gave them confidence that where there is an organization, there is a leader, and that the four-armed giant must be nearby.

Because of the light, he couldn't see his face clearly, but seeing that the chain was still shaking slightly, it should be that he had struggled not long ago.

"Boss, let the hornet robot fly closer, I want to see the old horse ......" The voice of the "second master" trembled a little, but she said what everyone wanted.

Chu Zhongtian didn't mind the nickname "Chief" anymore, just nodded and quietly gave instructions.

With an extremely slight buzzing sound, the hornet robot landed on the old horse's waist, the edge of the broken alloy armor. The camera is focused on his face.

It turned out that the short hair that stood on end was stained with blood, like a black hat attached to the scalp. There was a trail of blood on his forehead, from the center of his eyebrows over the bridge of his nose, and one of them sank into the messy beard. His eyes seemed to be closed, lifeless. Because of too much blood loss, the skin appears unhealthy white.

The hornet robot managed to capture the image of his lips trembling and the muscles on his neck twitching.

"He's alive! He's alive! The pest team on the front line was so excited that they burst into tears, the "second master" clenched his fists, and Nantes couldn't help but straighten his waist, but he didn't dare to make a sound. The more than 300 people watching at the base were already shouting excitedly.

It's a pity that the wasp robot can't deliver the message, so it can only stretch out its metal legs and feet and gently scratch the old horse twice.

Sure enough, the old horse's sleepy sides suddenly opened round. First stunned, then surprised, and finally frightened, he shook his head lightly with a solemn expression.

Judging from his expression and movements, the injuries were much lighter than expected, and both Nantes and Zhang Yang had a trace of doubt.

Nantes thought, "I've seen the old horse suffer a serious injury, but why is it that most of it has not been treated after three days?" Could it be that he also has a parasite in his body, something similar to Sister Hua? ”

Zhang Yang thought more seriously: "The recovery speed of such an injury is very likely to be related to the virus infection......

The others did not notice this suspicion at all, and the "manager" scratched his ears and cheeks excitedly, and commanded the hornet to crawl forward again, although the old horse did not understand what it meant, but he was afraid that the mutants around him would find out, so he nervously raised his head and looked around, and then his gaze stayed in one direction.

The hornet's perspective is locked in that direction, which is a dark corner where the moonlight does not shine, and the camera cannot see clearly. So the spider and beetle robots were called to slowly crawl there.

The ground view turns bloody, the camera skimming over the blood-stained and sticky ground, over the stacks of severed arms and fingers, and through the skeletons.

Gradually, a vague figure gradually emerged, it was the four-armed giant.

Leaning on a ten-meter-high ladle on the ground, one leg outstretched, one leg curled up, some rags and iron sheets hanging from his body, two arms stretched under his ribs caressing his belly, the other two arms resting on the back of his head, and an uneaten human thigh was dropped on one side of his body.

Judging by the severed arms and stumps all over the ground, it seems that he has eaten a lot of mutant companions. Amazingly, after 3 days of recovery, the thick round hole in his abdomen that was punched by the Gatling Vulcan cannon has been smoothed out.

Probably due to its innate strong deterrent, there are no living creatures around it, and all other mutants keep a distance of ten meters from it.

The beetle crawled on the ground, looking up, the face of the four-armed giant became clear little by little, his chin was full of black blood, there was still minced meat in his fangs, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned as if he was smiling, and the gray face was indescribably weird.

Further up is the bridge of his nose and eyes, because of the previous sniping, his right eye was blown out, and now the wound around him has scabbed, leaving a miserable hole.

The other eye was open, and it seemed to be focused on the beetle. At that moment, everyone staring at the screen felt a murderous aura. The next moment, the giant moved, and a black shadow struck, and the screen went black.

The "manager" sat on the ground and sweated profusely: "Discovered?!" ”

Fortunately, footage from the hornet robot showed that the giant did not make any further moves, but simply rolled over, revealing its devastated back. It was injured by the old horse before, and it has not fully recovered.

"It's supposed to be repairing its body by eating other mutant creatures, and it's not fully recovered yet. If you give him another day, maybe the wound on his back will heal, and even give him enough time to heal even the broken eyeball. Zhang Yang even guessed that Lao Ma's injury recovered so quickly, and it was very likely that it had something to do with this mutant giant.

In fact, several people have a question in their hearts: "Why didn't it kill the old horse?" But none of them said it.

"Boss, send your hornet up and sting him directly!"

"What do you think, his flesh and skin, Gatling only made a small hole......"

"Don't act rashly, be careful of harming the old horse!"
