Chapter 22: The Unacceptable Price
Looking at the back of the calmly running away, Yi Ersan stood in place.
Maybe in her eyes, my hands and feet are prosthetics, and I don't constitute combat effectiveness at all.
Or maybe she understands my inner situation and understands my confusion. Not everyone can know that it is a falsehood, but still give up their lives for that falsehood.
But what she really thinks, only she knows.
As always, Yaksha stopped its transformation and began the "Danger Detection Program", and after only 0.1 seconds of judgment, it raised the particle cannon on its stubby arms towards the fleeing crowd at the stage.
At this time, Yaksha's sensors captured two rushing figures, one of which had the reaction of the Mega particles, which were leaking from the handle of the knife. The Yaksha instantly judged that the person holding the weapon was in danger.
"There is a response!" Yaksha shifted the target from the spectator to himself, and Zhou Nan once again changed the trajectory of his run, directing Yaksha's muzzle in his direction.
However, Zhou Nan suddenly realized that in the riot just now, there were people fleeing in all directions!
Just as she hesitated, the Yaksha fired at the particle weapon.
The 2.6 mm particle cannon fires a seemingly thin beam of particles, but the bombardment on the ground is just as powerful.
Rumble!
Zhou Nan dodged the particle beam under Bai Hua's pull, but the ground under the feet of the crowd behind him made a violent explosion! The red-hot melted stones splattered as if they had been glued to magma, mixed with human limbs and minced flesh, and the smell of burnt protein suddenly permeated!
"Ahhhh Eye! Eye! ”
"My legs, ahhh
Screams like these filled the park, with the wounded curling up and wailing, and the uninjured stiffened and unable to move in fear.
Zhou Nan and Bai Hua looked back at the tragic explosion scene, their pupils suddenly narrowed, and Zhou Nan's mind was full of the ruins of the orphanage, as well as the corpses of the orphanage's partners and teachers who were densely and neatly arranged.
"Ahh Zhou Nan rushed out like crazy, but was pulled back by Bai Hua.
"Nannan!"
Losing your cool on the battlefield means death.
A loud shout swept away the fear and confusion.
"All drawn!"
Except for the man who had snatched the molecular knife from Zhou Nan, the four band members who still held the molecular knife stood between the crowd and the Yaksha, and pulled out the blood-colored long knife from their waists in unison.
"I don't know how many particles are left, but we have to take responsibility." The lead band member said.
The handle of the molecular knife is filled with Mega particles, but the Mega particles have always had the problem of leakage, and with the technical level of human beings, they have not yet found a way to store them completely, so it is still a question mark whether the knives in the hands of these five people can be activated. And although they carry meritorious knives that represent honor, there is no reason why they should carry sound-isolating headphones that can only be used in actual combat.
The noise of the molecular knife starting is unbearable! If left unprotected, it can even lead to a ruptured eardrum!
Without a sniper diverting Yaksha's attention, it is almost impossible to approach the airframe and launch an attack under the attack of its two 2.6mm particle cannons!
The four showed good fighting qualities and scattered to jump to the sides, but the particle beam hit the ground behind them, and those who had been injured or fell to the ground before were completely killed in the explosion.
Then the four of them split into three lines, one on the left flank, one on the right, and two on the front. In the face of a three-way attack, Yaksha, who is only equipped with two particle cannons, cannot cope with them at the same time.
But Yaksha suddenly curled up, turned into a spherical hedgehog, and rolled towards the band members who were rushing head-on. The sudden change caught them off guard, and even though they were dodging to one side, the 46 tumbling thorns on the surface of the Yaksha's body tore through the body of one of them, and then rolled towards the two on the right flank.
"Ahh After a short scream, he fell to the ground in a pool of blood, the long knife in his hand clanged to the ground, and slid several meters out of the ground.
Then he scooped the long knife from the ground with one hand, and his slender legs were as tight as jade, and he took a leap forward.
Zizizi~
An extremely sharp and piercing sound suddenly sounded, and the calmness without the protection of sound-isolating headphones had to grit his teeth to resist the noise, and the eardrum was instantly shattered by this terrifying vibration sound, and bleeding came from the ear.
As if he didn't feel pain, almost the next moment, the blood-colored blade shrouded in a pale blue particle luster, slashed at Yaksha's spiky body.
Clang!
The blade is bounced off.
Not even a single sharp thorn was cut off.
At the moment when the blade of the knife was bounced open, in order to save the life of the molecular knife, the particle switch of the blade was turned off instantly, and the calm step twisted, and the back was turned towards the direction of the stage where there was no longer a living person, and he jumped back a few steps in a row.
From picking up knives, to chopping, to stepping back, everything goes smoothly.
Calm's blow succeeds in attracting Yaksha's attention, and Calmness is judged to be the "highest priority exclusion target".
In the absence of long-range attack containment and shield protection, the best way to deal with the alien's body is to constantly trigger its various judgment routines, which only last 0.1-1 seconds, but these slight dullness can create the conditions for melee combat.
When it was necessary to prioritize the elimination of a single target, the use of particle weapons was the fastest way, so Yaksha began to change into a humanoid form again, and at the moment when its head was just revealed, Bai Hua's pistol was already aiming.
At the same time he shouted: "Nannan! ”
At the moment when Zhou Nan's figure rushed out, three gunshots rang out in a row.
Bang bang bang!
The infrared sensing device hidden in the gap in the armor of the head of the Yaksha was hit. The infrared device is covered by a layer of transparent metal material that is harder than the outer armor, and the bullet is completely impenetrable!
However, the infrared device can be called the eyes of the yakshas, and when attacked, the self-test function of the body is activated!
This can hold the Yaksha for 1 second!
Although Calm is deaf in both ears due to a ruptured eardrum, as if he knew in advance, he seizes the opportunity and attacks the Yaksha as well.
Yi Ersan watched all this, once unable to imagine facing the enemy again, unable to convince himself to fight to defend the lie. But the familiar enemy in front of him, the familiar battle scene, and the friends who fought well, knew that they needed to fight, but their bodies were completely indifferent, as if there were two Yi Ersan in their bodies, one pushing him to the battlefield, the other pulling him towards peace, and maintaining stalemate and balance.
Knowing that it was a falsehood, he could no longer fight for it.
The Yaksha's self-examination procedure was over, but Zhou Nan had already come to him, jumped high, twisted his waist hard, and slashed the long knife with all his body towards the gap between Yaksha's head and the neck where his body touched.
Yaksha's armor, which is thinner than 1 centimeter throughout its body, except for the inside of the joints of its limbs, has only the armor in the neck slit that protects the transmission cables, and this gap is less than 4 mm wide.
But the only place where the Yaksha function can be stopped with a single blow is this extremely thin gap.
The moment the blade fell, Zhou Nan pressed the switch of the knife handle.
Bite......
The blade of the knife hit the gap in the neck of the yaksha without any mistake, and the moment the blade collided with the gap opening, it broke!
A small amount of pale blue rice particles squirted out weakly from the broken blade of the knife like an uncle with kidney deficiency peeing.
Zhou Nan was shocked: "No particles!" ”
As a meritorious knife for retired soldiers, it is very common for particles to leak out.
One blow was missable, Zhou Nan quickly reversed the direction after his feet landed, and his left leg forcefully ejected his body to the right side, out of the range of close combat. And just as Zhou Nan's body left in front of Yaksha, a calm attack came to his face.
Zizizizi!
The vibration sound of the molecular knife caused a sharp pain in Zhou Nan's ear, who had not had time to get out, and then the eardrum in his right ear ruptured, blood flowed out, and then rolled on the ground to break away.
The calm knife slashed at the gap in Yaksha's neck without any mistake, but it made a strange noise!
Cha!
The blade is stuck!
The Type 65 is an improved version based on the Type 56, and the blade has been thickened by 0.5 mm to enhance durability! And it was this 0.5 mm, when facing this yaksha, that got stuck in the gap and couldn't further cut through the protective armor inside!
The Type 65 is not a standard equipment, as a meritorious sword, it is a symbol of honor, and no one will use it on the battlefield at all, because the durability of only about a minute will be quickly exhausted! At that time, the "Medal of Honor" will be gone, and no one will take the broken knife as an honor.
It is precisely because of this that the Type 65 was not born for combat from the beginning, so its design problems have not been exposed: it is too thick!
The situation that should have been defeated with one blow was reversed in an instant, and Calm faced a huge crisis.
Calm decisively abandoned the molecular knife and prepared to retreat, but Yaksha's stubby arm was already aimed at the calm in front of him.
"Quietly!"
Zhou Nan suddenly turned around and threw his calm flight out, and then a huge explosion occurred on the ground in front of Yaksha.
The two of them rolled several times on the ground in the direction of the lake before stopping, but Yaksha's two particle cannons had re-aimed at them.
The person who fell to the ground faced the particle cannon, and there was only one way to die!
Bang bang!
"Damn!" Shiraka distracted Yaksha and shot Yaksha in the head, but the iron bump was completely unmoved, and the particle cannons in both arms did not change direction. And after just two shots, there were no bullets.
Click.
The sound of the firing pin crashing in the air made Bai Hua feel desperate.
And at the moment when the particle cannon was fired, a retired soldier's bandmate's long knife swept through from top to bottom, knocking Yaksha's two stubby arms slightly upward. One arm fired a particle beam that hit the lake and caused an explosion, while the other arm rose too little, and the particle beam swept over Zhou Nanhe's calm head, causing an explosion on the ground behind the two.
Rumble!
“……”
Watching the explosion, Yi Ersan's right hand and right leg trembled due to emotional instability, making a sound of metal rubbing, and violent neuralgia rushed to his brain, and his heart seemed to be burning, unable to breathe.
What to do when it's your turn to be around you! Can you still calmly come to the conclusion you have now? Can you still protect this world built on lies!
In order to keep a lie, how many innocent civilians were killed, and how many soldiers died in battle with blood!
Human life is not a number!
It wasn't until a shout pulled him out of this trance.
"Nannan!"
Calmly lying on the ground, he shouted in a high-pitched and excited voice that he had never seen before.
Zhou Nan fell in a pool of blood, his abdomen was hit by a gravel and bleeding profusely, his body did not tremble because of the pain, and his eyes had lost their lustre.
