0006 Infrared sensing

The strong sea breeze wrapped in abundant water vapor blew on the person's body, and in less than half an hour's effort, the clothes were damp, and the whole body was cold to the bone, and the cold barrel was attached to the person's body, and the cold air was pressing.

Catherine was in slightly better shape, prostrate in the shade of a bush of purple locust trees, her pinnacle-like compound leaves covering the top of her head, covering her body tightly.

Fu An curled up in a tarash bush, eager to bury himself in the sand, in order to avoid the cold wind of the yin infiltration, the white sand has a worse thermal insulation effect, but absorbs more heat from the human body and emits it, Fu An can't help but hold a gun, shivering.

It was getting dark, and at this rate, it would take another two hours to get completely dark.

Cen Mu beckoned to them and said, "Come here!" Warm for you. ”

Controlling the fire element is undoubtedly a very simple thing to create a warm area, but this practice is very dangerous, for people with infrared vision, this warm area is as dazzling as a bright light in the dark night, and it can be felt from dozens of meters away.

The two girls felt the ambiguity in their words, and approached him with a little shyness, Catherine had already experienced people, understood Cen Mu's thoughts, and glared at him.

The three of them lay side by side, and Catherine realized that he didn't make any extra small movements, but fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking, this time she couldn't guess Cen Mu's thoughts.

At this time, Cen Mu was searching for the talent tree, and he found two abilities suitable for dealing with the current situation, "Infrared Vision" and "Infrared Perception".

The description of these two abilities is almost the same, both can form an infrared vision, and the number of star energy points is only 5 points apart, and the requirements for infrared perception are a little higher, requiring 15 points of star energy, from the literal understanding of the explanation, infrared perception compared to infrared vision, the perception medium does not necessarily need eyes, a bit similar to the prototype of the perception field, in fact, the next level of infrared perception ability is the "primary perception field".

However, the evolution from infrared perception to the primary sensing field requires nearly 240 points of starlight; However, it only takes 120 points to evolve from the "Five Senses Enhancement" to the primary perception field, which reflects the fairness of evolution to a certain extent.

Facing a strong enemy in the future, Cen Mu can't squander these 275 points of star energy at will, although the effect of the primary perception field is very good, but it is not enough in the current cost performance, after some careful consideration, Cen Mu chose to light up the "infrared perception" and the next level of the speed of the cheetah "follow the shadow", carefully check the ability description, and get the following information.

"Infrared Perception" - 15/15, fully activated, strengthens visual and physical perception capabilities, and can form a monitoring field within 100 meters according to temperature differences.

"Shadow Walking" - 120/120, fully activated, continuously strengthens the modifier's physique, changes bone and muscle structure, reduces body weight by 30%, and improves explosive power and running speed. Gain the passive talent "Agility", which has the ability to unload the force, increases the sensitivity of the nerve reflex arc, and reduces physical impact damage from the body structure, such as reducing the damage of falling from heights. The active ability "Rush" has been strengthened and upgraded to "Lossless Rush", which bursts the body's potential in a very short period of time, consumes at least 10% of the energy reserve, and increases the running speed by 500% in a short period of time.

After reading the description, Cen Mu almost figured out the enhancement effect that follows him like a shadow, "Agile Skill" is undoubtedly a good natural ability, which can not only be beneficial for moving, jumping and running in complex environments, but also can be applied to the unloading of hand-to-hand combat, all in all, it is a hard damage reduction talent, which is very practical.

In addition, when the active ability "Dash" is enhanced, the physical cost is greatly reduced, and the effect of Burst Weakness is greatly weakened, and this ability can be used repeatedly in a very short time.

As for the overall improvement of explosiveness and speed, Cen Mu needs to slowly explore and experiment, and because it involves the transformation of the body structure, the application process of this ability will last one to two weeks, which is far less fast than the effect of infrared perception.

Gradually, when Cen Mu's consciousness sensed the formation of two runes in his body, the surrounding scene began to change, and the dim beach in front of him was divided into two, one side was the normal vision, and the other was infrared imaging: the cold world was gray-black, hazy, and in the depths of the soil and in the foliage, red light clusters of different sizes could be found, different sizes, different light and dark.

Cen Mu took a closer look and found that each light cluster corresponded to a different creature, and the brightness and darkness corresponded to the temperature, he looked around and found that the creatures within 100 meters were clearly distinguishable, and the temperature difference of more than 0.5 degrees could be distinguished in the field of vision.

The images of the two worlds intersect together, at first glance, a mess, dizzying, the brain center is stimulated, the central network begins to operate, the blink of an eye, the field of vision stabilizes, and the two become one, the surrounding environment applies the normal field of vision, and the living creatures apply infrared imaging, the two horizons are stitched together to form a clear and recognizable field of vision, and the three fields of vision can be switched at will through the mind.

This is a useful ability, especially in complex environments.

The infrared wavelength is the longest and will not be blocked by obstacles, therefore, infrared perception is equivalent to deriving a perception field of 100 meters for Cen Mu, unless the monitored organism has the ability to converge body temperature, keep the body temperature consistent with the ambient temperature, and at the same time can move, it is possible to pose a threat to Cen Mu, as far as Cen Mu knows, this can only be done by himself.

"Hey! What are you thinking? Catherine blew softly into Cen Mu's ear.

Fu An smiled and said, "Sister, it's rare to have a time when you can't guess what Brother Xiao Cen is thinking. ”

Cen Mu smiled, pinched her upright buttocks, and said, "Don't move here, there's a little mouse coming, I'll deal with it, remember, don't move!" ”

Dozens of meters behind him, Cen Mu felt that a humanoid creature was constantly moving towards them, and sure enough, something was wrong, this "fire" was too conspicuous, and in the infrared vision, the shape was very peculiar, like a burning bonfire.

Cen Mu withdrew from this heater, the body surface temperature quickly decreased to the same temperature as the environment, the transition was smooth, showing excellent temperature control ability, he used two visions to monitor his movements, and found a mysterious thing: in visible vision, he clearly saw the movements of the human body, but in the infrared vision, it was calm.

That's what I want.

Cen Mu circled an arc, moved over from the side little by little, and found a tall tamarix, just on the path of the humanoid creature, Cen Mu hid behind it, pulled out a steel dagger, lowered his body, and waited quietly in place.

A moment later, a very small thud quietly tugged at the eardrums, the sound of boots rubbing against the gravel, faintly audible, and then I saw a hand holding a gun slowly stretching out from the front of Tamarix, the other hand holding the handle of the gun, and then, a head wearing a steel helmet stretched out, and an infrared high-definition night vision device hung in front of the steel helmet, and he was squinting, carefully identifying the image in the night vision device.

He must be muttering in his heart, looking at a fire from a distance, but up close he saw two tall girls, one of whom was lying on the ground, her feet swaying back and forth, very pleasant.

In the infrared vision, the woman's figure became clearer and clearer, and it could even be judged by the physical characteristics that the two women were at a good age when the flowers were blooming, and this person's throat moved and swallowed saliva.

Suddenly, there was a stabbing pain in his throat, he felt the cold blade pass through his neck, the right hand holding the gun was clamped hard, the pistol was disassembled in an instant, and then one arm tightly clamped his head, pressed down hard, warm blood flowed out of the broken mouth of the throat, and flowed down against his chest, his chest was wet, his body couldn't help but shiver a few times, convulsions a few times, and his consciousness was gradually stripped away as his body cooled......

At the moment when the human body fell to the ground, the heat was extracted cleanly, and the whole body did not cool down at all, and directly integrated with the environment, Cen Mu swept down his helmet, gun and supply bag, and pushed the body into the bushes, cleanly.

There is no mercy on the battlefield, this is an iron law, otherwise it is yourself who regrets it.

Back where he was, Cen Mu threw a bunch of equipment on the ground.

Catherine was surprised, "Not bad! I didn't hear a single movement here, so I killed a man. ”

Fu An curiously put on his helmet and played with the night vision equipment hanging from the helmet.

Cen Mu said: "This person is superstitious about infrared equipment, so he was tricked. ”

Catherine asked curiously, "Then how did you find him?" It's amazing that you run over here and kill him without alarming him! ”

Cen Mu pointed to his eyes and said, "He relies on equipment, I rely on myself, this is the difference." ”

Fu An handed the helmet to Catherine and said, "It's just so good that my sister can use one, and it can come in handy at night." ”

Catherine inspected the looted equipment and frowned: "SCAR assault rifle, MICH2000 helmet, with infrared night vision device, multi-functional belt, M19 pistol, triangular - military thorn, portable medical kit, individual equipment is quite sophisticated!" I'm guessing you didn't take off his bulletproof vest and watch, especially the watch, which contains a positioning device, his body will be found quickly, and if it is functional enough, it can even monitor the wearer's body temperature changes, and send the data back to headquarters to determine if the soldier is alive. ”

Fu An didn't know how to feel it, and praised: "So powerful?!" ”

This is not to bluff, the technologies mentioned by Catherine are already outdated in the Federation, and these features have been integrated into the Federation's multifunctional combat uniforms for a long time, and only the old military would use watches to record the status of employees.

As she spoke, Catherine looked at Cen Mu and said, "If every soldier in the Gazus base is equipped with these equipment, then it will be difficult for us to fight this battle, and the equipment is too far behind." ”

Cen Mu carefully recalled the details and said: "There shouldn't be a watch, if I find it, I will definitely take it off, I didn't do it, it must be nothing." ”

"Alright! I hope so! ”
