Chapter 026: Night Attack
It's certainly not safe to camp in the wilderness in these days. Although the number of mutant beasts in the free zone of the Eastern Region has been greatly controlled, there are still small groups of mutant beasts moving around. It's just that they can't form a beast tide.
Angelo's arrangement is very safe, divided into two groups, one group rests and the other group is on guard, the mecha and armored vehicles are kept warmed up, although it will consume some energy, but once it encounters a mutant beast, it can be immediately put into battle. Being able to keep comrades-in-arms from sacrificing is nothing at all. In the middle of the night, the two groups switched over to rest,
Starting from the Western Region, in order to prevent the attack of mutant beasts, they brought more tents. Wang Rong and Su Qing were each given a tent.
Mu Le was arranged to be on duty, he sat next to the thunderstorm mecha, leaning on the cold mechanical calves, without the slightest sleepiness, once an abnormal situation occurred, he could give a warning as soon as possible, and then climb on the mecha to prepare for battle.
There was a rustling of footsteps behind him, and Mu Letou didn't reply: "Wang Rong? ”
"It's me!" Wang Rong walked to his side, handed him a cigarette, and also sat down and said, "After all, I just joined your team, and I was not arranged for the vigil in the middle of the night. Anyway, I can't sleep, so I'll talk to you. ”
Mu Le said lightly: "What are you talking about?" ”
Wang Rong smiled: "Before the nuclear war, about the beginning of the twenty-first century, special forces began to be equipped with mechanical exoskeletons in the army. This exoskeleton, a little larger than the human body, can make those special forces strong with the help of mechanical power. For example, a heavy machine gun that cannot be operated by a single person does not consume much effort at all on a mechanical skeletal arm. For example, in the face of a cliff, in the absence of equipment, you can only rely on the soldier's own ability to climb up. With a mechanical exoskeleton, there are mechanical claws to grasp the rocks for people, and the special forces only need to judge whether they have grasped it steadily. ”
Mu Le glanced at Wang Rong in surprise, but he didn't expect that he actually knew a lot about the things before the nuclear war.
"During the same period, in the United States, Japan and other countries, the development of robots has also reached a period of contention. Unfortunately, but also thankfully, robots can only accept human commands, and they cannot generate intelligence. It so happened that at this time, a nuclear war broke out. A lot of research results have been ruined. ”
"I guess there are experts who are dedicated to the research of mechanical exoskeletons and robots, they fled together, and then combined the ideas of both sides and worked together to create a mecha. The role of the mecha is first reflected in the offensive and defensive power. Let's just say that the thermal knife is good, and ordinary metal can be cut without much effort. At the same time, the powerful shell protects the pilot while in the cockpit, and no mutant beast can break through the cockpit. ”
"Then there is the weaponry, all the weapons on a Thunderstorm II can arm a battalion. Weapons that originally required hundreds of people to control can be easily used by one mecha per person. ”
Wang Rong shrugged his shoulders: "Don't look at me in surprise like this, these things are what I saw in the research center of the Eastern Region." However, the operation of the cockpit is simply terrifying. I've unloaded a large number of parts. If I don't uninstall it, I'm afraid that when I use the mech, I won't be at a loss. ”
Of course, the mecha in the Western Region was not for ordinary people. The military police, which have not been strengthened, will have to be dizzy just in front of the control screen. This is also where Mu Le thinks it is very strange, why can he control Inazuma II quite well when he meets a person in the Eastern Region?
In his heart, he has not yet raised Wang Rong to the stage of an opponent.
It's just a gambling game, if it's a life-and-death duel, his shot will be very ruthless and decisive, and when Inazuma Two moves, he will mobilize the scan to lock the opponent. However, even if Wang Rong unloaded a large number of parts and won with the advantage of distance, the battle of life and death was still not an opponent.
"And what do you want to say?" Mu Le asked.
Wang Rong was not polite at all: "Since I have joined your team, I have to learn how to control the mecha." I hope you can help me. ”
"It's hard!" Mu Le wanted to tell him that it was impossible to play lightning and thunder without strengthening. But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, and he also thought that Wang Rong would definitely fall for the first time in the mecha, but he didn't expect to win himself in the gambling game.
It's one thing for people to be genetically modified, but many amazing people in human history have either been brilliant in literature or have the courage to do so. Genius, there will always be.
"Okay, after entering the capital of the Eastern Region, I will tell you how to use the mech." Mu Le added: "But what I'm good at is thunderstorm, because I can't do melee combat." If you want to play Lightning, improve your melee skills. ”
"Okay!" As soon as Wang Rong's voice fell, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said in a low voice: "There is a situation!" ”
Mu Le rolled over, turned on the infrared scan, turned slowly, and suddenly stopped moving.
On the display, a red light and shadow did not move, but the heat emitted from their bodies was enough to prove that they were living beings.
With Mu Le's warning, all the people in the camp woke up, and their movements were very light, as if they were afraid of alarming the mutant beasts in the distance. Wang Rong showed a little appreciation, if as soon as he received the warning, a group of people got up in a mess, those with guns took guns, and those who set fire to them, then there was no need to mobilize, and the group of mutant beasts in the distance who didn't know what kind of beasts they were would immediately burst into the camp and turn them into a meal.
Such a gentle gathering would make those mutant beasts not understand whether the camp had discovered them or not, and their attacks would naturally not be in a hurry.
Four excellent pilots, including Mu Le, entered the cockpit, and as the hatch closed, four mechs rumbled into action, two thunderstorms occupied the east and west, respectively, while lightning guarded the north and south.
The rest of the people all took out their weapons, and the layers were clear.
Angelo ordered the heavy firepower to be concentrated in the north-south direction, which was to prevent the lightning mecha from running out of ammunition and the thermal knife could withstand the intrusive mutant beasts when the coverage of the thermal knife was limited.
And the gunners who are very accurate in marksmanship focus on the east and west, just in case there is a mutant beast that escapes in front of the thunderstorm, they can kill them with one shot.
Su Qing and Wang Rong did not have a combat mission, just a gun each, in the center of the camp, not far from Angelo and Xia Yan.
Su Qing praised: "The officers of the Western Region are still very capable, this arrangement is well organized, if that group of mutant beasts dares to break through, I am afraid that they will die cleanly." ”
"What are those?" Wang Rong was a little confused.
Angelo suddenly shouted: "They're moving!" ”
Until the naked eye could see it, Su Qing couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart. These should be 'jackals'. The weight of the jackal is 20 kilograms, the jackal king can barely grow to 30 kilograms, although the size is small, but this animal is different from the general canine, they have the claws and agility of the feline, and have superior endurance than the wolf, and it is also the only canine that can jump in situ to a high place, jumping up to 3 meters in place, a more special canine. They are the strongest canines, smaller than wolves, but fierce, strong, and aggressive, jackal groups are generally around 12 to 20 individuals, have the ability to summon other groups to attack enemies, gather to a certain number of jackals, and are the most feared predators in the forest.
The jackals in front of me, although they look like jackals, are much larger, and this group definitely exceeds a hundred. It is not known if they are just a colony, or if they have summoned other colonies.
Wang Rong said coldly: "In the past, jackals could reach the height of the cockpit with a leap, but now they are almost doubled, but I am afraid that the bounce power will increase." Block their path with heavy firepower to prevent them from approaching the Lightning Mech, and take advantage of the Lightning Mech's lack of long-range weapons and ammunition to attack the scanning system. Once they do, the pilots in the cockpit will be left alone and will not be able to contact us. ”
"You mean, there's a good chance that these jackals will get smarter?" Su Qing asked.
"They're already smart." Wang Rong's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly: "When I found them, it was because my eyesight was too strong, they were always lurking and moving slightly forward, and this frequency basically did not alarm the scanning radar." They then gathered and hid in the southwest corner of our camp. Notice that all four mechs were facing northeast. That is, the jackal king will judge the most favorable direction of attack and will do so. Don't say it's a coincidence, I don't believe it. ”
"So when I noticed something unusual, Mu Le reacted very quickly, he didn't look at the radar at all, but took out an infrared scan, so that these jackals could not be hidden. But the jackal king is also fast enough, the mecha here has just started, it will lead the jackal group to disperse, I think, the jackals will not attack together in all directions, they have not seen the power of the mecha, there must be so many to try. ”
Wang Rong turned to Angelo: "I want two sniper rifles." ”
"Where's the sniper rifle? AMB? Angelo hugged the AMB in his arms tightly: "Except for these two, it's gone." This is Xia Yan's gun and I! ”
Wang Rong said: "I think the jackals have to do a tentative attack, if they are allowed to distinguish between the performance and fighting style of thunder and lightning, it will not do us any good." Two AMBs, one for Su Qing and me, to ensure that the bullets are not missing, and do not let the four mecha use force for the time being. As soon as the mecha moved, the jackals were really going to attack. There is a jackal of temptation, Su Qing and I will kill it! ”
Angelo scratched his head, how does this feel like jackals are starting to have ideas? However, if the jackal king really has so much IQ wisdom, what Wang Rong said is really possible, let the mecha do it now? Let's let AMB play its godlike role as a sniper rifle!
