Volume IV, Chapter 14, December 2117

Yes, collect samples! This has always been one of the operational objectives of the Western Corps. Xu Xiaoting remembers the content of the briefing, in this operation to reinforce Las Vegas, about one-fifth of the squad was equipped with "vacuum boxes" and "net shooters": "vacuum boxes" are used to collect the remains of giant bats or cerberus - these carcasses are said to decompose quickly, and after being loaded into the vacuum box, the air in the box must be immediately drained to prevent the carcass from decomposing; "Netshooters" are used to capture live objects.

"Don't worry," said Bliss confidently and loudly in the communication channel, "let them pick up the drumsticks, chicken wings, etc., and we'll catch some live chickens." ”

One after another, robots continued to fall from the sky, and the 117th Battalion quickly broke away from the airborne area with five people in the third squad, and with the large troops, they rushed to the city in the south, and within 10 minutes, they arrived at the artillery position of the garrison troops, completing the convergence with the garrison troops.

The robot troops rushed towards the city, their footsteps shook the earth, perhaps because of the perception of this tremor, the army of Cerberus began to break away from the city and poured out from the north of the city, Xu Xiaoting saw from a distance that they not only poured out from the intersection of the north of the city, but also jumped from the roof of the villa area in the north of the city: it was a black flood, pouring mountains and seas.

The black flood brought an even more powerful "earthquake", and soon, this earthquake overshadowed the vibration caused by the advance of the robot troops...... In Craven's words, it was as if hundreds of tanks were rolling over the robot troops.

Soon, the robot's vanguard unit turned on the free-fire mode:

“fire_at_will,fire_at_will,empty_your_magazine, empty_your_magazine,all_of_them!” In the communication channel, Xu Xiaoting heard the roar from the forward troops, and the team commanders issued orders one after another, telling the soldiers to fight to the death and use all the bullets!

In the battle of Raccoon, the robot troops suffered a big loss, the bullets they used were ordinary bullets, these bullets are useful for humans, but they have little effect on Cerberus, so now the charging soldiers are using armor-piercing shells, and a small number of soldiers are equipped with anti-tank rocket launchers, all in accordance with the standards for dealing with armored forces, weapons are equipped.

The oncoming Cerberus was hit by armor-piercing shells and bazookas, and fell to the ground and rolled forward, while the Cerberus behind them deftly jumped over their wounded and fallen companions without tripping. They leapt past their companions and rushed forward, quickly regaining their shock formation, like tumbling and bouncing black waves.

Some people thought that bullets and cannonballs could break the black torrent and slow it down - but none of this happened.

"Extended bayonet in place, ready for contact, 5,4,3 ......"

"Extended bayonet in place, ready for contact, 6,5,4 ......"

"Extended bayonet in place, ready for contact, 7,6,5 ......"

In the battlefield communication channel, each team began to report the countdown to contact.

"Bayonet in place, 3, 2, 1......"

The black torrent collided head-on with the robot's charging front!

When Xu Xiaoting heard it, the communication channel was immediately filled with all kinds of shouts, laughing wildly, and cursing...... These, shouting, laughing, and swearing, and the sound of footsteps, gunfire, and hydraulic shaft twitching from the outside world, all superimposed chaotically, forming a strong communication noise that made it completely impossible for her to hear her teammates. She had to enable the filter mode and only receive 3 shifts of team communications.

"Corporal, the live chicken you want...... Seems like a lot! Xu Xiaoting heard Raff laughing wildly with great excitement.

"So what? Can't we open a chicken farm? Bliss scolded.

Soon, the 117 reinforcements discovered that the black torrent collided head-on with the robot army, but in fact, it was not a collision with Ben......

The robot troops, more like thousands of farmers with pickaxes and shovels, rushed towards the oncoming herd of bison - the black torrent of Cerberus rolled and crushed, and their extremely strong jumping ability made them step on the robot army and continue to rush forward, like a black giant carpet, gradually covering the robot troops.

Under the bright moon, Xu Xiaoting saw a black shadow jumping up diagonally, rushing towards her, she subconsciously put the extended bayonet up, pointed squarely at the black shadow that was pounced, and fired a few shots at the same time. She could be sure that the bullet had hit it, but she was still pressed to the ground by it.

The face of that thing was an unacceptable face, and there were two eyes on the left and right sides of that face, a total of four eyes, emitting a brilliant green light, which was breathtaking. A huge mouth is enough to bite off a person's head in one bite. Xu Xiaoting couldn't imagine that if she stood on the battlefield herself, with the fragility of human beings and the body and soul, how would she face such a breathtaking fear? Can you stand on your legs?

There was no time for Xu Xiaoting to get distracted, and the huge mouth of the hellhound had already come straight to the front door. Xu Xiaoting pushed violently with both hands, and at the same time her body flashed to the right, and actually dodged the fatal blow of this ground beast dog.

Before Xu Xiaoting stood up from the ground, another ground dog pressed on its (her) body, the same, its huge mouth went straight to the door, Xu Xiaoting raised her arms hard, stuck its neck, and held the head of the ground dog away, so that it was away from her own door, at this time, the huge mouth of the ground dog was still opening and biting hard, and the sharp teeth clicked, and it was only a fraction of a millimeter to bite the tip of Xu Xiaoting's nose.

"Arm Blade Inspire!" Xu Xiaoting (Sima Aya) shouted. The hidden blades of the arms were immediately stimulated out of the sheath, and the double blades of the sheath, at a cross angle, pierced into the neck of the ground beast, causing it to scream, and the green blood immediately spurted out of its mouth, spraying Xu Xiaoting in the face.

In pain, the ground dog desperately waved the steel claws of the two limbs growing on its back and attacked Xu Xiaoting's arms. In the battle of raccoon, this pair of steel claws can easily clip the joints of the stand-in robot, but unlike the robots at that time, the X2117A external alloy armor controlled by Xu Xiaoting, the claws of the ground dog are clamped on the arm of X2117A, rubbing against the armor, sparks splash everywhere, and rattle, however, Xu Xiaoting (Sima Aya) did not receive the armor damage alarm.

"Well done!" Xu Xiaoting's right arm was forced, and she actually shook off the steel claw of the ground dog clamped on her right arm, she didn't think much about it, and immediately stabbed the neck of the ground dog with the arm blade of her right arm. When the beast's skull broke and fell, the giant mouth was still wide open, and the open giant mouth actually "ate" Xu Xiaoting's head into the mouth in one bite, which made Xu Xiaoting break out in a cold sweat, "You finally ate me, huh?" Ha! She scolded herself......

The parachuting of robots is still going on batch by batch, and in each batch, about two thousand robots have landed from the sky, and the reinforcement of the Ground Dog and the Giant Bat has stopped. Satellite data shows that the number of living enemies has dropped significantly, from about 100,000 to more than 60,000, and the number of available robots has quickly risen from 20,000 to about 40,000.

Although not all robots are the latest model X2117A, the old robots are also equipped with alloy armor, elongated bayonets, arm blades, and at the same time, the power battery of the robot has also been replaced, reducing the battery life (endurance) and improving the capacitance of the battery (burst force), which greatly improves the robot's hand-to-hand combat ability.

Moreover, when the robot is lost, the operator does not die, and the "rebirth" makes them continue to accumulate experience from "death" and "past life", becoming smarter and more proficient in combat skills.

During the fight, the operators gradually discovered that being knocked to the ground by the Ground Dog was not a bad thing - in hand-to-hand combat, being knocked down would put the fighter at a disadvantage, and when receiving combat instruction, the operators were told not to be knocked down - however, in the fight with the Ground Rhizome, this was not the case.

The operators soon realized that it was very different from the Ground Rhizon Bo.

When facing the second ground dog dog, Xu Xiaoting sprinted a few steps, fell to the ground with a sliding shovel action, and got under the body of the ground dog . The belly of the Ground Rhizome! These things are a bit like tanks, with a very weak carapace in their abdomen! The neck too!

Xu Xiaoting used her arm blade to easily cut open its abdomen...... She believed that if she hadn't lost her rifle and the extended bayonet on her rifle, she might have been more effective!

An hour after the start of the battle, thanks to the rapid sharing of information, all the robots found the enemy's weak spots, however, the Ground Dogs were still irritable and simple, instinctively driven to pounce and bite the robots, and unintentionally exposed their vulnerable parts to the robots.

An hour and a half later, the Hexagram building had stopped reinforcing Las Vegas, and by this time, there were already more than 45,000 robots available on the battlefield. The number of live Quiver dogs has dropped to less than 1,000, and most robots have stopped focusing on combat, but have begun to collect biological samples for scientists to study.

Xu Xiaoting and her companions in Class 3 got together - it was time to "catch live chickens"!

At this time, the robot unit had successfully entered the city, and soon, five people in the third squad ran into a "live chicken". This is not quite the same as imagined, the ground rhino dog is far from being described as "only", this "only" live chicken, only slightly smaller than the bison and much larger than the robot.

As the five men surrounded the Ground Rhiz, all four of its eyes glowed green, like burning flames, and it had no fear of the skinny enemies around it.

Raff and Casey fight him, while Bliss has a net shooter (gun) ready - the net gun can fire an electric capture net, the net pocket will envelop or cover the target, the counterweight at the end of the net will tighten the net bag, the counterweight is also a high-voltage battery, when the target is trapped by the net, the wire woven net will release an electric current, causing electric shock damage to the creatures in the net.

"This is for you!" Booth cursed, pulled the trigger, and the net pocket burst out, opening in the air, like a spider's web, and pounced on the Ground Badger. The Rhinodog was busy wrestling with Raff and Casey, and before he had time to dodge, he was wrapped in the net bag with a "whoosh" - Raff (the robot) was lucky, he (it) was also wrapped in the net, and the huge pressure after the net was tightened made Raff and the Rhoid tightly squeezed together.

This made everyone on the side cry and laugh.

At the same time, a burst of blue electric sparks flashed on the net, followed by a scream from the Ground Rhizon and a scolding from Raff. In the electric spark, the Ground Dog fell to the ground and struggled violently for a while, and then stopped moving.

"This chicken is enough for those nerds (scientists) to eat for a week!" Bliss tossed the net shooter aside and clapped his hands triumphantly.
