Chapter Fifty-Seven: High-load Deathmatch
"Now for the next contestant, Riley, a former regular army brigadier from the East Asian People's Republic."
Su Zhan sat in the stands, and what he wanted to witness was a death match with a huge disparity in strength.
The radio kept sounding, and there were still many people in the stands, but these people didn't look like refugees who had come with him before, and Su Zhan was here to watch it for the first time.
The young man realized that he had been working here for almost half a month, and every day he was injected with a drug that the NHSA called anti-radiation energy, and the same was true for the refugees in the first place.
"It's a pity that Brigadier Riley only lasted 3 minutes."
Listening to the sound of the radio, the young man cast his gaze down again, an old-fashioned Falcon X was torn and shattered by the pitch-black body, there were parts scattered everywhere, and the jet-black body also exuded red brilliance, Su Zhan always felt that he had seen it before, or had seen a body very similar to it.
"It's over, even Brigadier Riley only lasted 3 minutes, and we're going to be treated like toys by the NHSA and die there like him."
Su Zhan turned sideways to look at the person who said this, and was also a little surprised, because it was the first time he saw a normal person here who was not controlled, so he took a step forward and asked, "May I ask what you mean by this?" ”
"You're new here, why don't you seem to have seen you?"
"Yes, I'm new here and I want to know everything you know about the NHSA."
The man in overalls looked at Su Zhan a little, with a slightly puzzled look, then walked to Su Zhan's side and looked at his eyes carefully, and after confirmation, he sat down on the chair on the side: "Shouldn't you be an agent sent by the intelligence organizations of various countries like the previous guys?" ”
Since he had already said this, Su Zhan nodded as he meant: "Yes, I am an agent of the Intelligence Bureau who is here to collect intelligence and evidence and help you escape." ”
"But the way I look at you, you don't feel like you're an agent?"
His words couldn't help but make Su Zhan recall the sentence that many people had said to him, "You are not suitable to be a soldier".
"No, I'm just trying to hide myself, and if I expose the NHSA at will, people will definitely find out, right?"
"I believe you, Comrade Intelligence Agent." The man lowered his head a little and smiled, took out a cigarette case, took out one, and lit it, "But I still want to advise you to give up, a few of you have already died in that ruin, just like Brigadier Riley." ”
The pitch-black body can achieve optical invisibility for a long time, and it cannot be monitored by the thermal sensor at a relatively close range, so Su Zhan will soon remember that when he was in the "heptagon forbidden area", he fought with the deformable body.
"Why do you say that ordinary people can't hold out for a minute at all, just because the opponent can be invisible?"
The man shook his head and spat out the smoke in his mouth, then snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it away at any time: "They are in an environment where they endure high-intensity radioactive energy, and the armor of the motorized infantry alone can't support it for long, to be exact, they are fighting next to an abandoned nuclear reactor, and it's strange why the NHSA driver won't be affected, I guess it's the reason for the body, maybe it's the use of high-density armor to resist radiation or something." ”
But Su Zhan didn't quite agree with what this man said, it is unlikely that high-density armor can move at high speed while maintaining optical invisibility, so Su Zhan can only guess that the driver may be a cyborg who can tolerate high-intensity radiation after being transformed, after all, when he was in Eilat City, Su Zhan personally destroyed a place similar to a human experiment station.
After that, Su Zhan was taken by this man to the large warehouse where his companions had gathered, and when he arrived at the gate, he found that there were automatic aerial guns set up nearby, and a small number of armored vehicles and heavily armed NHSA soldiers guarded it.
Walking into this big warehouse, Su Zhan realized that it was much bigger than he imagined when he looked outside, and there were quite a lot of people inside, because there were no compartments, so they were all combined into small groups to live together, and the isolation door was piled up with sundries and containers.
"Brother Yang Yu, why didn't Uncle Riley come back, and who is...?"
They had just walked into the open room that was isolated by the cargo box, and a female voice came, sounding like she was only in her teens, and Su Zhan knew the name of the man next to him because of that sentence.
After walking in, as Su Zhan expected, there was really only a teenage girl, and at the same time, Su Zhan was shocked, he didn't expect that NHSA would not even let go of children.
"Her name is Aoi, the daughter of Brigadier Riley, and the young man over there reading with his head down is called *Lan, and we were always four of us here before Brigadier Riley had an accident."
"Hello, my name is Su Zhan."
Su Zhan said hello, but the two of them seemed to ignore him, but they both hid behind Yang Yu, and Yang Yu could only have a wry smile on his face.
He didn't want to tell the two children his purpose and true identity, and then asked Yang Yu to go to a separate area to talk, and the two talked for nearly half an hour, and Su Zhan gradually became familiar with the whole picture of the situation here.
Unlike the people in the refugee area, where they were controlled by injection drugs and then worked in factories until they were exposed to radiation for a long time, the people in this large warehouse were used for combat experiments, and most of the people here were hijacked vehicles, passenger planes, etc.
Whatever kind of people are used here for weapons experimentation, not to let them use new equipment developed by the NHSA, but to let them drive obsolete motorized infantry and then become targets for NHSA experiments.
Su Zhan learned from Yang Yu that before he came, it had been going on here for almost half a year, and one person would die every day, and now there were less than two hundred people left in this big warehouse, and everyone was worried about when they would die, and there were also some rules, that is, one person should go to the experiment every day, but it was not a random selection, just let these people choose for themselves.
If the result is not selected for a long time, then one will be forcibly taken away at random, and every minute that the person conducting the experiment insists on can be exchanged for a day of safety here, and stop the day's "sacrifice", but in fact, few people last a minute.
Brigadier Colonel Riley, who had served as a motorized infantry pilot in the East Asian People's Republic Army, only lasted three minutes before his body was torn to pieces by the pitch-black body, but he bought three days of peace.
After listening to Yang Yu's story, Su Zhan was also hesitating, he was hesitating whether to give up intelligence collection for the time being, after all, he already knew a lot from Yang Yu, and then he only needed to think about how to evacuate, but Su Zhan gave up the idea of directly ignoring himself when he thought of his cold-blooded and ruthless self, and after thinking about it for a while, Su Zhan decided to help Yang Yu.
Even if it wasn't for himself, at least Su Zhan didn't want to see the three people in front of him running on the road to certain death, and there were teenagers and girls in their teens, he didn't want to see this kind of tragic thing, although he had seen a lot.
"In three days, let me go."
"Are you crazy, it's impossible, everyone who came like you before has been..."
Su Zhan walked out of the door of the cubicle and turned around and threw a thing to Yang Yu to detect radioactive energy: "This is a thing to monitor radioactive energy, when you take these two little guys away, try to choose a place with low radiation intensity." ”
"Besides, I don't want to be ridiculed anymore."
Yang Yu didn't understand the words of this young man of the same age as himself, and he didn't understand why this young man who claimed to be an agent of the intelligence agency of a certain country wanted to help him.
"Don't give up without going through it, that would show you are cowardly."
What Su Zhan wanted to say was actually what Lao Cang said to himself, he walked out of the cubicle and went to this warehouse before leaving, and after returning to the staff dormitory where he was in the evening, he began to sort out the information he had collected, plus Su Zhan deduced a lot of evidence about the NHSA's crimes provided by Yang Yu.
Three days passed quickly, Su Zhan arrived at the big warehouse as agreed, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw more than 200 people gathered here to argue about who should go, Yang Yu also thought about what to do if Su Zhan didn't come, but he didn't expect him to come anyway.
"A lot of people were not tortured to death by the NHSA's motorized infantry, but by intense radioactive energy..."
Yang Yu said this to Su Zhan before he left with the NHSA soldiers, he would also witness the death fight in the stands later, but he wanted to settle the two teenagers and girls, and then find a reason to go out.
After coming to the stands, Yang Yu leaned directly against the railing and looked at the test site, waiting for a quick and bloody death match, and then listening to the mocking broadcast, Yang Yu had already seen many people die here, including the intelligence agency agents who came before.
Su Zhan, who was in the cockpit of the motorized infantry, did not provide a pilot's suit, which meant that he would inevitably be directly exposed to the pressure of radiation energy and impact.
"Is this the Falcon Y of the NMA?"
Su Zhan didn't want to do it so quickly, although he didn't know about this kind of body, he still wanted to start adjusting the body's output parameters immediately, he didn't care about any restrictions, if he wanted to survive in this environment, then there was a reason.
"Can you give me five minutes, I want to be mentally prepared."
He deliberately turned on the speaker to attract the attention of his opponent, and then quickly revised the data with both hands, which could delay a little time, but his deliberate words turned out to be that the opponent actually agreed.
"Today's duel is Su Zhan, a refugee from Eastern Europe, guess if he can break the three-minute record set by Brigadier Riley three days ago?"
"That's pretty much it, probably going to work?"
Su Zhan relaxed and leaned back in his seat and whispered to himself, then waited for the five-minute countdown to end, and then started immediately, Falcon Y is a land melee specialized motorized infantry, which is quite suitable for Su Zhan.
"Deathmatch begins!"
The moment the radio sounded, the pitch-black and red-glowing body disappeared from the field of vision of the watchers, and Yang Yu in the stands was also worried, many ordinary people were killed in seconds within a minute, and people who were more than a minute would be repeatedly hit and rubbed, and finally lost consciousness under the double torture of high-intensity radiation energy and impact pressure.
"Okay, let me see if it's the same as it was back then."
Su Zhan was quite confident and relaxed observing the pictures in the front and rear monitors, he had already had the experience of fighting an opponent who could move stealthily for a long time, and in addition, he had the ability to carry his own SLM, he could know the opponent's movements.
The compound sword and shield carried by the Falcon Y on both wrists sat and prepared to withstand the impact, but Yang Yu in the stands felt that something was wrong, and after a closer look, he found that the composite sword and shield was not a shield mode, but a sharp sword and blade mode, Yang Yu only felt that Su Zhan was crazy in his heart, and he wanted to prepare for a counterattack, but no one had ever been able to counterattack successfully.
"The propulsion comes from the particle compression thruster, which instantly releases the stored particles to provide temporary high output, but this is not a nuclear power machine after all, so...."
"Almost every advance of the opponent is used to attack, and when he runs out of particles, it is the time to attack."
He still kept the Falcon X still, still waiting for the opponent's priority action, thirty seconds had passed but there was still no attack, Su Zhan estimated that it was the opponent's first time to see the body that had remained immobile from the beginning.
Forty-five seconds have passed, and there is still no movement on this field, and Su Zhan has not been affected by the high-intensity radiation energy for the time being, but he is almost out of breath from the feeling of depression he received when he was in the "Heptagon Forbidden Zone".
"Coming?!"
Su Zhan was uncertain, although he did sense that the opponent was approaching by relying on the SLM ability, but he felt that such an attack was very bold but not rigorous, but he still pulled the joystick and tried it, but he didn't expect to really dodge it directly, and directly saw the motorized infantry that lifted the optical invisibility, but it was not like the attack of the "sudden wolf" at that time, but simply started the thruster at a long distance, and relied on the thruster to push forward and hit the past with an armor-piercing alloy sword.
Su Zhan thought it was some temptation to attack like this, and he didn't fight back after dodging, but turned around and continued to look at the trajectory of the body's stealth disappearance, and every time he activated the particle thruster, he would produce visible photon residues, so that he could easily capture the trajectory, but why didn't he see any particle residue last time.
Therefore, Su Zhan guessed that this body was not like the one that attacked him at that time, but it was a bit like a simplified version of the body that Xia Luohan was driving.
"At that time, I guess I used scanning to block out visible photons, right?"
Su Zhan whispered in his mouth to scan, then put away the composite sword and shield equipped on his arms, and directly took out the only long-range weapon on his back, that is, the AP composite rifle for motorized infantry, which can fire AP shells and can also fire HE missiles as well as motorized infantry conventional weapons.
Yang Yu in the stands was first frightened by Su Zhan's first easy dodge attack, he had never seen an example of being able to dodge at that extreme distance, and the situation where he took out a long-range weapon to aim, Yang Yu didn't dare to think that someone could do it.
"How can such a chaotic attack kill people on the battlefield..."
The young man was even a little dazed, he had already dodged five or six attacks in a row, Su Zhan was not panicked at all, and even almost forgot that he was in a high-intensity radiation environment, so he thought about it and pulled the trigger.
The first HE missile was launched immediately after dodging the next impact, and the airburst at the particle trail where it was seen, and the smoke and dust generated by the explosion exposed the stealthy body, and its position could be determined from the side through the smoke and dust, and then three bursts of AP bullets with high kinetic energy directly hit the back of the body.
Although he was not able to force him to disarm the optical invisibility, Su Zhan guessed that he probably couldn't advance any longer, so he only needed to slowly approach step by step, and then attack.
Yang Yu calmed down and continued to observe, he now felt that maybe Su Zhan could really save himself and change this forbidden area full of evil.
"It's unbelievable that Su Zhan was able to hold out until the tenth minute and gain an advantage, but as long as he hasn't destroyed that plane, then the deathmatch continues."
"This damn broadcast!"
Yang Yu cursed in the stands and then looked at Su Zhan, he estimated that Su Zhan would be difficult to do next, because he was still unsure of the opponent's position, so he would only faint directly in the cockpit due to the high-intensity radiation.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yu still underestimated Su Zhan, he actually directly let the Falcon Y move, walked slowly, and finally walked to a position, the cannon at the head suddenly operated, and there was only the sound of the cannon firing "da-da-da".
Then there was an explosion, and then the Falcon Y's composite sword and shield also switched to sword blade mode and smashed the body that understood the optical invisibility, this time it was torn into pieces and became the previous perpetrator.
"Well done!"
Yang Yu was very happy, he was very happy to smoke again, and then looked up at the gunship that had been watching at the beginning, Falcon Y stopped after finishing the smashing of the body, and then turned on the megaphone and let out a laugh.
It was a laugh that made Yang Yu shudder.
"Who's next?"
No one answered.
"Let's congratulate Su Zhan on his victory, you will get a lot of material rewards in the future, but according to the agreement, Su Zhan will stay for almost twelve minutes, plus knock down the No. 1 experimental object, so I will give you fifteen days off."
Because Su Zhan had been irradiated for a long time, he had begun to be confused and began to gasp at this time, and what he saw in his eyes was becoming more and more blurred, and the reason why he turned on the speaker was because he had already noticed that there were still motorized infantry around him, and there were more than three.
However, the NHSA did not intend to continue fighting, and the manager in charge of the base also became interested in Su Zhan because of this deathmatch, or the research director was even more excited, he felt that there would be good actual combat data, so the research director asked the person in charge to terminate the deathmatch.
But that doesn't mean it's over, the next deathmatch will be half a month later.
After returning to the warehouse, Yang Yu came back with Su Zhan on his back, and the young man who had just created a miracle fainted not long after he stepped out of the cockpit, but fortunately, Yang Yu brought him back.
"How's that, am I handsome today?"
Su Zhan endured the pain on the bed and said a little self-deprecatingly, while Yang Yu took the medicine in the medical kit to inject his bare shoulder and said: "You are really hard enough, and you are also deadly, but what makes me strange is that the damage you are exposed to high-intensity radiation energy is not as serious as the one you encountered before." ”
The young man propped up his body with his hands and leaned against the wall, stared at Yang Yu for a few moments, and said, "Are you disgusted with SLM carriers?" ”
"No, as long as there is no malice, I will not be averse to people."
"Then if I say that I am an SLM carrier, I can be like today by relying on a different body from ordinary people...."
Yang Yu injected the medicine and then treated the needle and put it aside with fire, holding a chair and sitting next to Su Zhan: "Although I have heard a lot about the evil behavior of SLM carriers, it is still far from the NHSA. ”
"And you should be a good SLM carrier."
"I hope it's as you think."
