Chapter 11: The Death Trap
"Don't overthink it, it's our job to find the remaining containers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs for the enemies hiding in the shadows, the outpost guards will be able to eliminate them in no time. Wolf Fang comforted the team members, although they said this verbally, they were also always vigilant around, the encirclement and suppression work may not have been as smooth as they believed, and they stabbed out a difficult opponent with a fateful life, and there are still no records of misses, and countless explorers have died at the hands of the three people.
"I hope so!" The wolf's words didn't give Tang Mu much sense of security. The enemy hiding in the shadows is more dangerous than expected, and at any moment they can come out in vain and launch a deadly attack on everyone.
For the rest of the journey, everyone looked nervous, afraid of becoming a victim of sniping.
Tang Mu vaguely felt mentally exhausted, perhaps because of the transitional operation of the chip embedded in the chest of the mecha, he had to cheer up and observe the situation around him, his own life was still more important.
The team walked forward for a while, and the winding trough trail had come to an end. The terracotta beneath their feet spread ahead, and the valley was far away from the Red Shan Forest, and everyone could see an endless wilderness.
There is no place to hide in the terracotta wilderness, except for a few rocks that stand out. However, to the right of the crowd, a gloomy black shadow dominated the distant sky, looking like a towering fortress, hidden in the gray twilight, and the heavy oppression made people feel uncomfortable.
The location of the container shown on the radar was less than a few hundred meters away from them, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the long journey was finally over.
"Wait!" The Prairie Eagle suddenly stretched out his hand to stop everyone from moving on.
"What's wrong again." Bao Buping was taken aback, and hurriedly raised his gun to look around.
The others also raised their vigilance, and quickly leaned their backs against the rocks next to them, relying on the terrain of the valley to guard against the enemy who might surprise them.
"Enemies?"
Misty Flower held her weapon and observed the surrounding situation through the scope, there was a dead silence around the wilderness, she didn't look away, and said in a low voice: "I didn't find any enemies ahead." ”
Wolf Fang did not let his guard down, and made a few gestures to the others, intending to lead everyone out of the trough and deal a fatal blow to the enemy who might be ambushing outside, but this move was stopped by the steppe eagle.
The Prairie Eagle did not answer everyone's doubts, but neatly peeled off the disc device on his right shoulder and poked the button on his arm a few times.
Tang Mu also noticed the other party's unexpected move, and after a glance, he felt that it should be an alloy round shield, and he hadn't yet understood what the steppe eagle wanted to do, only to see the top of the disc device protruding, and then spinning rapidly. The small round shield actually turned into a small reconnaissance plane, and under the operation of the steppe eagle, it floated in the direction of the container in the distance.
"What a cautious fellow." Wolf Fang muttered, and the steppe eagle next to him was playing the image of the reconnaissance machine through the miniature screen on his arm. The screen shows that there are not many sniper points to hide outside the trough, and no trace of the enemy has been found. Their luck was not bad, and a few minutes later the reconnaissance plane found the container in the pit.
"It is impossible for the enemy to know our exact location." Seeing that there was no enemy, Bao Buping whispered, obviously thinking that the Prairie Eagle was doing something extraordinary. Not only him, but the rest of the team thought the same, and just kept silent.
Suddenly, an accident happened, and the field of view of the small screen shook violently twice, and then fell into a dead silence. Explosions were heard in the distance, and the reconnaissance plane was shot down.
Tang Mu hurriedly looked in the direction of the container, and a wisp of black smoke slowly floated up in his field of vision.
"I knew it would be like this, those three guys are really arrogant enough to trek around, and they dare to do this knowing that we will find someone ambushed by shooting down the reconnaissance plane." Prairie Eagle turned off the screen and muttered as he looked in the direction of the black smoke. He said to Wolf Fang, who was looking for the sniper's location: "Don't look for it, the other party is hiding somewhere in the ruined transit base thousands of meters away, you can't find his specific location." ”
"It can't be." Wolf Fang seemed startled and asked in disbelief. "The ruins transit base is more than two kilometers away, and ordinary firearms can't shoot at such a distance."
"I didn't say it was an ordinary firearm, the latest CK Swift Eagle was released, the longest firing distance was 2,500 meters, and the special armor-piercing bullet could easily tear through the ten-centimeter-thick alloy armor. I don't know what those people in the association are doing to eat, and they actually let such a dangerous weapon easily wander outside. Prairie Eagle slammed his fist on the ground and roared angrily: "The guys hiding in the shadows are like a group of nasty explosive riches, showing off their superb shooting skills, which is really infuriating." ”
"What now?" Bao Buping said in a low voice.
"I'm worried that the enemy will encircle the squad from behind." Tang Mu reminded everyone in a low voice that although the trough was conducive to avoiding attacks from the wilderness, it was also easy for the other party to wipe everyone out.
"Is it more patient with the other party, or leave the container and go straight back to the base?" Misty asked tentatively. In this case, the only people you can rely on are two veterans whose rich experience has helped you get through the difficult times ahead.
"It's definitely not okay to leave the trough rashly, the other party just destroyed the reconnaissance plane, and must know that we are nearby, with rich experience, it is not difficult for the other party to guess that we are hiding here, and it is definitely not okay to go out as a target, and now we can only wait for the other party to give up first." Prairie Eagle glanced at everyone and announced helplessly. Now, one of his mech's arms has been damaged, and his combat ability has dropped a lot, and if the trio of treacherous assassins are together, their team may have to be explained here, and avoiding risks as much as possible is the way for veterans to survive.
"No, I care more about the black cat's reminder, the other party is very likely to surround and kick everyone in one fell swoop. I also know the situation of the ruined base, which has led to the fall of a well-defended transit base, usually there are some very dangerous things in the base, I don't think the treacherous people will take risks, not to mention the shooting distance of more than two thousand meters, even the marksman will be difficult to hit the target. Wolf Fang did not agree with the Prairie Hawk's proposal, and repeatedly reminded: "We must complete the mission as soon as possible, return to the base with the container, and stay in the wild for one more minute to be in danger." ”
Several members of the team looked at each other and fell silent.
As the saying goes, a shot shoots a bird in the head, and no one wants to risk being the first to get out of the trough. If you lose your life after being bulleted, you don't even have a chance to regret it.
"I'll go first." Wolf Fang doesn't want to continue wasting time here. The relationship between the newcomer and him is just an ordinary subordinate relationship, especially in a bald head like you, and Wolf Fang does not expect a group of newcomers to be willing to risk their lives to obey their commands.
He was just about to step out of the trough when he suddenly noticed that the terracotta wilderness in front of him was smoky, and it seemed that something was rapidly approaching the trough.
"Something happened." Just as the wolf tooth took back the footsteps, the bun next to him asked in surprise.
A herd of galloping creatures soon came into view, and the majestic momentum was like a migrating bison crossing the border, and even the ground trembled beneath their feet.
"Cork!" Tang Mu couldn't help but exclaim, he knew that this creature that seemed to be a short-legged elephant might not even be able to resist the outpost once it gathered to a certain number.
In the face of the rough and tough skin, it was difficult for ordinary firearms to play a lethal role at such a time, Tang Mu even suspected that the barrage swept away by the powerful metal storm could not withstand the footsteps of this group of creatures, not to mention that they did not carry heavy weapons at all.
The tumbling dust was getting closer and closer, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief that Cork's route in the Mercedes did not include the trough. They bowed their heads to the ground, patiently waiting for the Cork army to pass by.
Just as everyone was slackening, there was a low clicking sound behind them. The steppe eagle immediately reacted and turned sideways, only to see a round alloy ball surrounded by an adult man suddenly slid from the top of the trough, smashed on the ground and rolled a few times, slowly floating in the void under the surprised gaze of everyone, and a crack appeared in the middle of the circle, revealing a hideous muzzle, which was a rotating metal storm.
"Get down!"
Screams of terror overlapped with Didi's warning sounds. It's a pity that it was too late, and the dense rain of bullets came towards everyone, and everyone couldn't catch off guard, and the people who were shot by the bullets suddenly turned on their backs.
It would be surprising that no one was killed in this sudden attack.
The Prairie Eagle and the Wolf Fang came back to their senses almost at the same time, and they launched a counterattack with lightning speed, an alloy knife and a series of dense barrages shooting at the target almost simultaneously. The originally hot barrel was broken by bullets, and an alloy knife was inserted into the armored shell of the mobile battery, which was completely destroyed and fell to the ground into a pile of scrap metal.
"Damn! What the hell is this? Tang Mu stared at the destroyed mobile battery, and roared angrily, in fact, the entire channel was filled with the roar of anger and anxiety from his teammates.
"It's really unlucky, the waist is pierced, and the energy battery is completely scrapped." Bao Buping stared at the red hint of insufficient energy on the screen, and his luck was almost memorized. If the energy battery is not replaced in time, I am afraid that the mecha will be completely paralyzed due to the loss of energy.
"There's something worse!" Tang Mu smiled bitterly, he knew what would happen next. Sure enough, as expected, a dark shadow appeared above the trough.
With a sharp gunshot, the other party knocked out the weapon in the steppe eagle's hand, and then jumped to the muzzle of the gun to find the next target. A series of gunshots pushed everyone to the side, and the hapless Misty Flower had no time to react, and her waist was torn to pieces by the metal storm, and the crackling electric sparks seemed to mock her incompetence.
Tang Mu was embarrassed in the attack just now. He half-crouched on the ground, and was about to shoot back, but found that the weapon in his hand had been damaged in the attack just now, and the part of the barrel of the gun had been completely broken, and he could not use it again, so he reluctantly abandoned the gun and felt for the alloy short knife on his belt.
The subtle moves were completely in the hands of the other party, and a barrage made the mecha completely scrapped, and one of the bullets was in the chest where the soul card slot was stored, fortunately it was equipped with alloy armor, otherwise he would have been buried here.
