Chapter 248: The River

The winter night sky was as dark as a extinguished bonfire, and not even a trace of starlight escaped from the dense clouds. The gust of wind blowing from the northwest www.biquge.info finally spilled the chill to the interior after freezing a border city.

The intelligence department with the function of weather prediction has come to the news, tonight after 12:00 will drop to minus 19 degrees Celsius for the first time, although this section of the Yangtze River has no ice period, but in the climate is extremely incomparably unusual, no one can say what strange situation will occur, since the night has been 7 burst robots crashed because of battery frost and strong winds, the ground recovery force found that one of the high-definition cameras has been frozen and cracked, The Supreme Commander has ordered the logistics department in charge of Shana to use the antifreeze stored on the tsunami tank to carry out rounds of maintenance of all the blasting robots, and the mecha troops and double-edged helicopters that are ready to go are also simultaneously carrying out tense anti-freezing operations for key components.

The conscripts' military jackets that seem to be in World War I have long been replaced by modified imperial combat uniforms equipped with the "UN" epaulettes of the peacekeeping force under the leadership of Qin Feng, who does not pay attention to the budget at all, and the polyester hygroscopic fabric designed to quickly perspire has also been replaced with an airtight warm material due to the change of weather. Once, when Qin Feng and Daxia discussed the Soviet camp in detail, they learned a secret that could never be seen from the fat and strong flag-carrying soldiers on the screen at the end of the encounter in the game.

The conscripts are not as tall and sturdy as the old hairy men think in people's hearts, and the conscripts who can't even be fully equipped with socks are unlikely to have adequate nutrition, not to mention the peacekeepers under the deep pockets of the Allied forces, and even the usually low Imperial warriors look much more reassuring to the commanders than the yellow-skinned levies. It is still unknown whether there are such people, and even if there are, I am afraid that they are only a few people who serve in the elite units with sufficient material supplies, and most of the Soviet young people join the army not only with the enthusiasm to serve the country, but also with the expectation of a full meal. The social security system of the Soviet Union in the Red Alert plane is not even comparable to the behemoth that has stood for 70 years in this plane, at least the world can guarantee a minimum of caviar and bread.

The cold mask was issued to every soldier who needed to fight outside the carriage, leaving only the eyes and mouth style making Qin Feng's army look more like well-equipped terrorists, given that there is no impact of heavy rain and snow at present, the more resource-intensive goggles have not yet been mass-produced, but Qin Feng has ordered the trial production of a batch of 1,000 anti-fragmentation goggles for soldiers to test their performance in large-scale cluster operations, Absorbing the advantages of the American-made windbreakers worn by Japanese soldiers in the underground base of the Sichuan nuclear power station, combined with the heritage of the empire's high-precision instrument manufacturing supported by nanotechnology, the new batch of goggles can even be combined with electronic screens to directly display body data and the surrounding environment in front of the soldiers' eyes, such as changes in wind speed and humidity, and its ballistic resistance has improved from 50 meters to 30 meters from the blasting core. The shorter anti-fragmentation distance means that soldiers can greatly reduce their fear of shells whizzing overhead, which greatly increases courage and, in turn, efficiency.

Because the data displayed on the electronic screen requires a complicated testing instrument, even the improved goggles have this ability, which is castrated in the actual production process. Qin Feng's ultimate goal is to use the Roman legion-style riot shield of the Allied peacekeeping infantry combined with the imperial armor to create a full-body combat suit similar to the Thor hammer in the halo or the machine gunner in StarCraft, after all, the fragility of the human body in the battle with the swarm has become increasingly serious, and the pure tank force obviously does not have the flexibility of human soldiers, so the birth of a full set of armor is only a matter of time, as long as the human race is still fighting the swarm for a day, Developing an exoskeleton armor that could rival the shell of a swarm was something that would definitely be on the agenda, and Qin Feng was just speeding up the process.

The whole body was wrapped tightly by the infantry cluster on the thunderbolt transport boat hovering near the temporary base camp with neat steps, the night gave them the best cover, and the infrared observation instrument at the head of Jinling City in the south of the moat after the Qin army to the south of the moat after the peeping threat to the base camp can be ignored, the transport boat will be uniformly camouflaged into the color of the ground and then along the gap opened by the armored force to take advantage of the void to complete the occupation of the northern section of the city wall, cooperate with the mecha unit to build a defensive line and for the commander's "rescue" The operation provided cover and fire support.

The Yangtze River, Asia's largest river, reaches a depth of 48.5 meters at its deepest point and a maximum width of 3 kilometers. Tonight, the Yangtze River is covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, which extends along the roots of the old trees that have lost their leaves to the middle of the river, and the faint silver light emitted by the afterglow of the searchlight at the head of Jinling City in the distance highlights a strange fact, the Yangtze River is frozen.

As if tentacles slowly stretched out to the river in the ice under the still turbulent water washed, finally failed to get closer to the center of the river, a trace of white smoke rose from the junction of ice and water, the whole river surface because of the heat emitted by the contact between the river water and the cold air with a greater specific heat capacity formed a fairyland-like fog, and the Yin Yin surging with the wind drifted away.

A wild white sturgeon pierced the water like an elephant's trunk-like snout arrow, and before its meter-long sword snout could be fully drilled out, the pink-white spinous fins arced through the water, and a fierce man re-plunged back into the river.

Wisps of black-red cold blood continued to spread along the ripples that rippled outwards in the circle, and the swarthy half-cut fish head popped out from under the river like a strip of fleshy jellyfish whitened by the river, swaying and floating on the ripples, the edge of the raised white eyes still had traces of the white sturgeon's sharp and fine teeth, but the cut marks like a knife surface at the severed head had obvious human marks.

The cold weather has made the waterfowl fishing by the river have lost their traces, one after another the broken fish carcasses are somersaulting along the current, which can be cheaper than the white sturgeon known as the world's third largest freshwater fish, as a national first-class wild protected animal, they rarely get a chance to breathe after humans stop large-scale fishing, but the ensuing Jinling River digging water diversion makes them on the edge of Jinling their already scarce kind forced to rush into the moat along the strong current, The remaining number is barely enough to reproduce enough offspring to pass on this species, just at this time the unprecedented cold began to hit this land, shrimp and crabs are burrowed into the mud, this year's fish number is surprisingly small, the white sturgeon of course can not understand what the extinction of the species brought about by the invasion of the insect swarm symbolizes, they only know that this autumn is not enough fish oil at all, it is very likely that this winter will sink on this long river that their ancestors have been swimming for thousands of years, Hundreds of fresh dead fish suddenly floated in, which was a lifesaver for carnivorous fish species that were already hungry enough to start tearing at the aquatic weeds.

From time to time, the white sturgeons that quickly burrowed out of the river and dived down quickly tore at the corpses of fish that had been dried by the river, but no pair of eyes noticed the behemoth flowing down the river in the north.

Huge black shadows obscured the vast surface of the river, and the splashing waves crashed on the fish that had been startled out of the water, and the red blood dew was scattered in the white mist, as if endless blood had hit the forest mist. (To be continued.) )
