Chapter 18: Power Armor in Hand
The Enclave is a military organization formed directly from the pre-war U.S. federal government and the military industry, claiming to be the orthodox authority of the wasteland. The group consisted of the descendants of government officials and army officers, and the 'high-ranking figures' survived the retreat to a stone rig of Poseidon Energy at the beginning of the war.
As a result, the Enclave considers themselves to be the last remaining pure-blooded humans, with the exception of the inhabitants of the unopened Vault, and most of those born outside of the Enclave have been mutated by radiation and infected with the mutated virus and must be eliminated in order to ensure that "pure-blooded humans" can take their place and establish the true United States...... In other words, all the inhabitants of the wasteland are no longer human in their eyes, even though they look just like them in appearance.
Corresponding to the consciousness are cruel acts, such as the fact that they once provided laser weapons to slaves and drug dealers, such as the so-called 'collecting human samples' activities, and the current daily patrols to execute mutated creatures in this wasteland, including those wastelanders who mistakenly believe in the declarations played by the eyeball robots and send them to the door.
"The Enclave that mutilated civilians!" A frag hand* grenade was thrown and landed behind them.
"......" not to mention that the fragmentation grenade was thrown behind the four people for a distance, and the explosion damage was almost negligible, that is, the entire grenade exploded in his hand, and for them wearing advanced power armor MKII, it was just a minor injury that could be dealt with with by a healing needle, and there was no need to panic at all.
It was not so much that they were surprised by the distance they were approached enough to throw a grenade...... However, it seems that the X-02 helmet's built-in detection system only enhances the enemy-seeking function in the field of vision, which seems to be nothing surprising.
"Hmph, another subspecies sent to the door......"
"Is it revenge for the wastelanders just now? Heh~"
This situation is rare, and most of the wastelanders will understand that there is no hope of revenge when they see them, but it is not that it has never appeared, and they don't want to live stupid~~ The Enclave soldiers turned around in surprise and raised their guns to aim.
However, none of the four men fired.
There was only one reason - it was a woman who threw grenades at them, a woman who was very beautiful in appearance and beautiful in clothes, and even so beautiful that they felt that 'it doesn't matter if they were subspecies'.
As for what's 'it doesn't matter' anymore? Needless to say, in a lawless wasteland, four GIs on a mission outside meet a delicious girl......
But
Just because they don't shoot doesn't mean that the eyeball robots behind them don't shoot either.
"What? Stop shooting! The Enclave soldiers hurriedly stopped the eyeball robot that was attacking according to the program, and it would be a pity that the rare game was beaten to ashes!
"Ahh You will be rewarded! Unfortunately, the laser had already hit the arm of the woman who attacked them, and the injured woman cursed and turned to run away.
"Chase! Ahem, that dress is certainly not your average wasteland civilian! ”
"Yes, it must be some member of some anti-Enclave group! We need to catch her and torture her! ”
"The eyeball robot stays where it is and standby! We need a higher level of secrecy in this pursuit! ”
How many reasons for the mouth are as many as there are, and the crime of stealing * stealing can be called robbing the rich and helping the poor, in short, it will not be wrong to chase it immediately, and before that, do not forget to put aside the eyeball robot that has monitored their work process for any minor defects.
"This is running so fast!"
"Still, I was hurt...... Hey~"
Although you can't run fast in power armor, and you are suddenly pulled away by the target, it takes almost no effort to run with power armor, and if you don't win in sprinting, you will be exhausted by long-distance running, as long as you haven't left the detection range of the X-02's detection system.
In fact, the chase was not too long, perhaps exhausted, injured, or thought it would be possible to hide, and the Enclave soldiers could 'watch' her run into the wreckage of a building and stay motionless with the help of the detection system.
The Enclave soldiers were not vigilant at all, did they look at the charming woman in the red leather jacket leaning against the wall and panting, or did they think that the other side only had a fragmentation grenade at most to pose no threat to them in power armor? Oh, of course, the greater likelihood is the lack of military literacy.
(Boom!) Boom! Boom! The Enclave soldiers approached the panicked woman step by step as if they were announcing the good time that followed.
however
"I'm sorry~You've fallen into a trap~" The expression on the woman's face suddenly changed 180 degrees, and the smile was so provocative that the Enclave GIs felt as if their bodies were falling.
"W-!"
(Bang!) )
Well, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with that smile.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"It's really mentally retarded, this level of beauty will be in the city~" It was Liz, the initiator of this operation, who knocked on the floor and crawled out.
“…… They are not the only ones who can't move when they see a woman. Krausa looked at someone who, like himself and Liz, had knocked on the floor with a pickaxe...... In Operation Save the Pears in the Way, it was this thing that finally gave away virus samples to women for nothing, and if it weren't for Liz's bad intentions to cook and get bottle samples before, how big a pot would they have to carry.
"Liz, what about after that?" Ada, who raised her arm to get Leonza's treatment needles, asked with a smile, obviously not taking the injuries in the script in her eyes as well.
"Wait and see~" Liz smiled and walked to the edge of the trap and looked down at the Enclave soldiers below, "Hehe, isn't it as rumored that you are not afraid of falling and hurt~"
It is a square pit with a length of 10 meters, a width and a height of 10 meters, and the bottom and four walls of the pit are smooth iron bricks up to 1 meter thick. The implementation of the "Falling Trap" is also very simple, arrange a thick floor with a length and width of 10 meters on top of the pit that is not processed by the MC system, and arrange three stones connected by the MC system at the wall below the thick floor, and when Ada leads the Enclave soldiers directly above the trap, the three Leeds who have been hiding underground will knock off the connecting stones at the same time, causing the Enclave soldiers to fall into the pit along with the floor - it's simple, right? Originally, it was difficult to complicate the trap, but it was useful, and the trap in Shenzhen successfully killed n people.
"............" A subordinate subconsciously wanted to raise a gun to shoot, but the Enclave soldier who was suspected to be the squad leader stopped his subordinate, and he also saw that they could not escape from this impregnable trap on their own, and the only way to survive was to negotiate with the people above, "We are Enclave soldiers, who are you?!" ”
"Overseas Tourists...... Let's define it that way. "Liz thinks about whether to ignore Leon's opinion in the future and say that the people of the other world are okay...... It's annoying to say that every time.
"Overseas tourists?!" See, what's the difference between this skeptical attitude and 'I'm a game character from another world'.
"This doesn't matter, what you have to know is that we didn't mean to kill the four of you, it's just that as 'overseas tourists', we are very rare in your power armor, and we can't help but grab four or five pieces and go back to wear them ourselves......"
"You're delusional!"
"Haha, let's talk about whether I'm delusional or not...... By the way, I heard that the power armor on this wasteland only has an air filtration system and sealing performance, and no underwater breathing system, right? Liz smirked.
"Huh?"
They quickly understood, because Liz took out the MC system artifact 'Iron Bucket', an iron bucket filled with water beforehand! I poured a bucket of water directly into the corner of the wall.
"Impossible!"
"What the hell is this!?"
Then the Enclave soldiers saw a large amount of water pouring out of the corner of the wall and pouring into the tunnel.
“…… I see, the characteristics of the 'water' of the previous system? ”
"I traveled quickly to the Galaxy News Radio Station to find the people of the Brotherhood to confirm that the power armor can still be used even if it is soaked in water in an open state, so I came up with this tactic." As Liz explained, he took out the buckets in his backpack one by one and poured water down the other places to speed up the storage of water.
Under multiple water intakes, the traps are quickly filled with water, but there is no problem of overflow after filling, which is also a feature of the MC system.
The Enclave soldiers who are underwater are still holding on for a while, and it seems that the internal air circulation system built into the power armor prolongs the underwater breathing time...... That's it, especially after spending so much time digging up scrap iron, the iron bricks made of even the power armor can't be smashed with their bare hands two or three times, and they still have to run out and go upstream after the oxygen content in the air inside the power armor is exhausted......
"Man, isn't the power armor in our hands now?" A gun is pointed at an Enclave soldier who has just stuck his head out of the water.
It's just four against four, and one doesn't fall.
"Hah...... Ha...... Ha...... You guys, in the end...... Who is it? ”
"This question is outdated...... I understand that this is 100% offending you Enclave, and I feel that you are definitely not good people when I observe what you have done this day......" Liz put the muzzle of the gun to the other party's skull to achieve a 100% headshot rate in the true sense, "but you haven't offended me, and I don't seem to need to avenge the wastelanders who don't know me at all and are not necessarily good people, so it's not impossible to let you go...... You can even be provided with food and the most basic weapons and ammo to get you back to base. ”
“…… What do you want us to do? He also understood the following sentence, and he couldn't guarantee that he would not be killed after completing the other party's request.
It's just that if you don't do it, you'll definitely die now.
"Give us a system introduction to your power armor, disconnect any remote connection to your Enclave, and dismantle any possible self-detonation systems......," Liz said, nossing his gun.
"When did you hear that power armor has a self-detonation system......"
"Who knows if there is a new model...... "Leeds accepts the existence of the self-detonation system, how handsome it is to die with the enemy at a critical moment (and then resurrect in his own overworld), but it can't be a 'self-detonation system that may be remotely controlled by the Enclave'.
"The most important thing is ...... I heard that your power armor has a system to purify excrement into drinking water, so I'll clean up the and urine you pulled in it! Brush carefully! I have a lot of cleaners here! Liz threw out a box of Aleposey cleaner and threw it in the other's face.
“…………”
Uh, delusion, why did this guy say that this is the reason why they were spared?
