Chapter 299: Sniper on the Wall
Recently, Cai Ruichen has been staying in the wasteland world for most of the time.
In the same way, he walks the fence on the edge of Erbil once a day.
The independent sniper battalion of the 2nd Brigade of the Red Police Corps is here every day to monitor the mutants throughout Erbil.
There are less than fifty days left until the base mission is four months away.
A large number of soldiers were recruited in the wasteland to prepare for this most critical battle.
Samarra's battle was even easier than Cai Ruichen expected, with the development of the base, as well as the adjustment of tactics.
Not only did it not fight ISIS, but it also allowed the Iraqi government to acquiesce in the sovereignty of Future Technology Group over Samarra.
Of course, this kind of sovereignty outsiders do not know, under the propaganda of the Iraqi government, the whole world knows that the Future Technology Group intends to rebuild Samarra, and the Iraqi government highly supports and supports all the development of the Future Technology Group in Samarra.
The Iraqi government, which has put on the fig leaf, has won itself a lot of political capital.
Cai Ruichen was also happy to snicker behind his back, and he didn't care about the Iraqi government's behavior at all, after all, the benefits are in hand, and quiet development is the most important thing.
But in the wasteland, coupled with the chat with those survivors at the party that night, Cai Ruichen did not dare to underestimate the mutants in Erbilen.
At least he had access to several pieces of information that he didn't know before, the first of which was Erbil's pre-cataclysmic population, which was not close to two million or so, as Mozarbi had recorded.
On the contrary, due to the war, a large number of wounded were all sent to Erbil. And the beginning of the catastrophe is that those wounded are the first to become mutants.
So. Most likely the number of mutants within Erbil. It will be more than a million.
At the same time, the bustling subway traffic in Erbilene also allows many mutants to hide directly in the subway line.
It is also unknown whether the pumping units are still running on the urban subway lines that have no electricity supply, and whether the subway lines are already crowded with groundwater.
But it is an indisputable fact that those mutants, a large number of whom are hidden in the subway line.
Erbil shown on the base main map, with a red dot above. It almost filled the entire city.
And because these mutants are all hiding underground and in buildings, they are not visible at the base.
There is no way to analyze the strength level, so Cai Ruichen doesn't know how many high-level mutants there are.
Although in Mozabi's time, there were only two third-level mutants out of 100,000 mutants, and with simple mathematical calculations, one million mutants would be a maximum of twenty third-level mutants.
But there are some quantitative evolutions of mass increments that cannot be calculated in such a simple way.
At the beginning of the catastrophe, there were already mutants in Baghdad who could speak.
That is, the rate at which many of these mutants evolve. Very quickly.
It's been two years since these mutants appeared, and the most advanced mutants were the ones at the beginning. It's hard to say whether it will become more powerful.
The most important thing is that the most basic principle of the evolution of these mutants is not yet possible to be studied because of the lack of relationships between scientists in this area.
As for the real scientists in the wasteland, they are all treasures of various bases, and even if he wants to, he can't get them in a short time.
The most important thing is that Cai Ruichen is worried that these mutants will evolve without restraint, and the current third-level mutants are already difficult to deal with.
And Cai Ruichen, who has already seen a third-level mutant, can also somewhat deduce the ability of a fourth-level mutant.
But for the fifth-level mutants, no one knows how far they will go.
A level 3 mutant who can already threaten an ordinary main battle tank, a level 4 mutant definitely has the strength to destroy an ordinary main battle tank, if it is a level 5 mutant, can it already reach the level of ignoring an ordinary main battle tank?
I just hope this is not unfounded, because if you can't even deal with the main battle tanks, then there are almost no units in the entire base that can withstand such a guy.
If Erbil has such a role, then Cai Ruichen really feels that the strength of the base is enough.
However, he is not too unfounded, because the current base is also very strong.
Even if there are level 5 mutants, if there is one, Cai Ruichen believes that with the current firepower strength of the base, it should be able to destroy it.
As for the fourth-level mutants, Cai Ruichen, who has been preparing for more than two months, is not very afraid.
He has prepared a killer weapon for these mutants to use against them.
The first wall, 40 meters high, has been built, and the second wall, 60 meters high, has also been built more than half.
On the first wall, the snipers of the sniper battalion use weapons in addition to the anti-materiel sniper rifles in their hands, as well as the heavy sniper gun module on the multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicle.
The 40-mm sniper gun, with a barrel length of almost three meters, uses the most lethal depleted uranium armor-piercing core.
If this cannon continues, I'm afraid that even fifth-level mutants may not be able to stand it, let alone those third-level mutants.
It is estimated that the fourth-level mutant will be finished if he takes a shot.
Such a sniper gun, naturally, is fixed to the wall, and the wall is used to counteract its recoil, otherwise people simply cannot use it.
The operator only needs an experienced sniper, and with an observer hand by his side, it definitely means where to fight.
In addition, inside and outside the wall, there is also Cai Ruichen, who has never stopped the construction of defensive weapons for more than two months.
The flame bunkers with the sentry cannon were also built under the wall and between Erbil.
The bunker is the second defensive unit that Cai Ruichen and the shipyard extracted, and it has several times more defense than the sentry gun.
It is a very strong cement bunker, and even if no one operates it, it still has good combat capabilities.
Among them, two heavy machine guns are used as the main long-range firepower, and after close range, there are two flamethrowers, which are simply no SEI for infantry killing.
However, at present, the base can only produce the most basic bunkers, and among the subsequent extraction units, there are also tech bunkers and the final form of the forward defensive fortress.
Although the firepower of the bunker is not as powerful as the Sentinel Cannon, its defensive power is not comparable to that of the Iron-wrapped Sentinel Cannon.
A second-level mutant who can barely destroy the Sentinel Cannon can't destroy the bunker at all, or it's very difficult to destroy. (To be continued.) )
