Chapter 4: The Iron Sky!
The dilapidated car sped down the road for more than ten minutes, and finally reached the outskirts of the city.
Hao Sanshui's movements changed from leaning on the chair in the suburbs to leaning on the back of the chair behind him, his legs were crossed on the bridge in front of him, and his feet were naturally placed in the direction of driving, and his indifferent pair of black pupils suddenly shrank after bypassing the last jungle, through a box without glass in front of him, Hao Sanshui looked at the city in front of him that was no different from the memory, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he smiled.
"It's a great feeling to be born again."
"Yes, there is nothing happier than surviving in this age!"
Jia Houtu stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle Huo Di accelerated and continued to move towards the city, this majestic heavy metal city slowly occupied all the sight of the two.
The city is almost entirely made of steel, and the heavy, sturdy and resilient steel is like the mercenaries of this era, giving people a heavy pressure and a sense of security just by looking at it. In order to prevent monsters from hiding in the city, not a single tree or bunch of grass is planted, so that it looks more majestic from the outside, and it is full of inviolable oppression.
The buildings on the outskirts of the city are low, also made of steel, and the houses are winding like a modern Great Wall, with only three floors, each with heavy weapons on its windows, to defend against distant dangers. There are all kinds of heavy tanks on the outermost open road, all of which are Z-series tanks, they rotate 125 mm smoothbore guns, powerful diesel engines push this tank forward, six pairs of load-bearing wheels undulating with the ground, steel tracks make a harsh metal friction sound, rumbling against the dust on the ground, dusty and trembling, full of fearless power.
Around the defense point, there are many mercenaries wearing heavy armor and holding high-velocity multi-barrel fire suppressive weapons, the five of them are a team, relying on tanks, holding the weapons in their hands and stepping on the ground heavily, turning their eyes to search for the traces of monsters on the road in the distance, and then patrolling back and forth in the defensive line area on the periphery of the city according to the prescribed route.
And directly behind these defensive points, there is a huge wall clock. This wall clock is the same as what Hao Sanshui saw in the room of the Rebirth Courtyard, but the size is dozens of times larger than the one hanging on the wall! It was now close to four o'clock, and the threat value displayed by the mechanical wheel on the dial was still fluctuating around twenty.
The threat value represents the threat situation of the monsters around the entire city, and under the protection of these iron-blooded mercenaries under normal circumstances, the threat value of the city will fluctuate around twenty.
Sometimes there will be small-scale monsters to attack, then the threat value will rise to about fifty, at this time the whole city is on alert, no matter what the residents of the city are doing, they must put down what they are doing, and immediately put on armor to come to the periphery of the city to support!
And in the worst-case scenario, there is no large-scale monster siege! Suddenly, a lord-level monster will appear, and the pointer on the threat table will immediately soar to 90 in the sweat of the mercenaries, and the value will then change back and forth with the battle between the monster and the mercenary. Once the number climbs to 100, it officially means that the city has lost its defenses! At that time, tens of thousands of monsters will step on the blood of the mercenaries and the soul crystals and wave the claws in their hands, and the bloodthirsty and greedy open blade-like claws will enter the city. At this time, the people in the city still have the last chance of survival, that is, to go to the underground railway system buried thousands of meters underground, and take the rail train to the connected and safe city!
But don't worry about these dangers now, because the threat value is only twenty. This is all thanks to the various squads attacking outwards and these garrison mercenaries who cannot retreat, they can either win or die when they encounter danger, and they cannot consider going to other cities like the people in the city, so they are also the most respected people in the city!
……
The buggy stopped in front of a checkpoint, and the mercenary in charge of the guard approached with a weapon.
"Oh, we're going to suffer again." Jia Houtu said habitually.
"How?" Hao Sanshui didn't know, he looked at the two mercenaries who were wrapped in heavy armor a little more than a dozen steps away.
"Anyone who goes out of the city and doesn't go on a mission has to go through a security check when they get back to the city, just like we do now, to make sure there are no monsters hiding in the car."
"That's good."
"It's good, and I didn't resist. It's just that poor my little baby, she is about to be lifted by this group of big men again, and she will have a glimpse of it. In addition, this group of mercenaries wearing heavy armor generally does not know how to handle the strength too accurately, so when they open the hood and open the car door, they will accidentally fall off the paint, pinch and bend the car door or something. ”
"Oh, I see. That's why your car is like this, right? ”
"It's not bad!" Jia Houtu waved his hand at those cold mercenaries, and then looked at Hao Sanshui with a crying face: "Let's go, let's get out of the car, and then turn our heads and don't look at what my baby will face next, that's too cruel......"
"Hmm." Hao Sanshui nodded, withdrew his crossed feet, opened the car door and walked down, stepping on the cold ground with his bare feet.
Jia Houtu's index finger slid the surface of the off-road vehicle, walked around the car for half a circle, patted Hao Sanshui's shoulder and walked to the side by himself, talking to himself while walking.
"Actually, I really know that this group of mercenaries has no malicious intentions, and I also know that they are only for our good, so I don't hate them at all in essence, and I respect them very much."
"It's just that I'm by my side now, except for you, the king of water, and my little darling alone can give me a quiet place to hide after I am despised."
"And I don't know if the little baby will be able to start after these two mercenaries check, if we can't start at that time, then we may not have time to enter the mercenary academy, and we will not have time to participate in Jiaozuoren's lectures, and then we will be despised by that group of people!"
Here Jia Houtu said bitterly, and then found that Hao Sanshui behind him had no reaction, so he looked back with doubts, "Sanshui, did you hear me?" As soon as the words fell, he saw in his small eyes that Hao Sanshui was actually wearing a linen short skirt, looking directly at the two mercenaries, and actually walked straight towards the two mercenaries!
"Are you crazy?" Jia Houtu hurriedly lowered his voice and shouted anxiously towards Hao Sanshui: "Don't you know that ordinary civilians can't approach mercenaries!?" ”
Hao Sanshui was unmoved, and still walked towards the two heavily armed mercenaries.
"Sanshui, hurry up and come over to me, do you know that you are dying?!" Jia Houtu was even more panicked, and as soon as he spoke, the two mercenaries in his sight raised the assault rifles in their hands in shock!
The bulky and huge M-type assault rifle specially designed for armor is a caliber that can fit into a child's hand! The muzzle of the black hole was facing Hao Sanshui's head, as long as the fingers of the two mercenaries pulled the trigger slightly, then for Hao Sanshui's fragile flesh and blood, a devastating bullet would tear his head apart! And now Hao Sanshui has not bound any soul spars, so if he dies, he is really dead!
Jia Houtu seemed to have seen Hao Sanshui's blood splashed three feet, the expressions on his face were already entangled, his eyes were flickering, his anxious legs were shaking on the ground, and he yelled violently: "Sanshui, your grandson won't come back to the uncle!" Even if the uncle begs you, it won't work?! ”
Jia Houtu's words silenced the originally noisy defensive area full of mechanical sounds, and almost all the eyes of all the mercenaries in this small area gathered on Hao Sanshui in front of him!
"Someone is trying to stir up trouble?" The mercenaries thought to themselves.
Stirring up trouble is something that no one can be done by anything, it doesn't matter in the city, after all, everyone has a temper, but now it's in the alert circle! Once someone provokes trouble, it will attract the attention of the mercenaries, and then there will be a temporary vacancy in the garrison! At this time, if there is a monster attack, it will be difficult for the mercenaries to react in the first time, so it is a very dangerous behavior!
Therefore, the mercenaries have a written rule, that is, even if they don't want to kill humans, but for the sake of the overall situation, everyone must obey the constraints of safety regulations, so after Jia Houtu's roar, in this small area, the ten mercenaries of the two squads all stopped patrolling, and the weapons in their hands immediately pointed to Hao Sanshui, who was still walking towards the two mercenaries, together with the barrels of the Z series tanks behind them!
"Smack!" Seeing this, Jia Houtu directly slapped himself, shook his head and sighed: "Why do I always have more than enough success and more than failure!" Not only did he not save Sanshui this time, but he didn't even have a chance to collect a whole corpse for him! ”
"I'm so cheap, I'm really cheap!"
Jia Houtu's intestines were really blue, and then there was a sound of the instrument turning in his ears, his neck reflexively shrank, and his eyes were closed.
……
A second passed.
Two seconds passed.
He still didn't hear any gunshots, which couldn't help but make him wonder, so Jia Houtu raised his head in disbelief, closed one eye and looked timidly towards the place where Hao Sanshui was standing, and then his eyes opened to the maximum in an instant, and his body was frozen in place, and there was no look in his eyes before, and now he was all shocked!
Salute!
It turned out to be a military salute!
Three steps away from the two mercenaries, Hao Sanshui's shirtless eyes were unwavering, his body was straight, his right arm was raised and bent and folded thirty degrees, and the palm of his right hand turned into a simple pistol pointing straight at his temple! This is a very direct respect for mercenaries, and the pistols turned into fingers represent the firm belief of every mercenary!
"Swear to live and die with the city!"
The mercenaries were stunned, and then there was no slogan or anyone to take the lead, but at this moment, all the mercenaries who were holding their guns and pointing at Hao Sanshui immediately put down the guns in their hands, followed by the same action, under the blue sky, white clouds, and steel sky, a whole neat and shocking picture depicted by the mechanical outer armor in return!
"Is this still Sanshui......" Jia Houtu no longer knew what to say to be able to express the feeling of being shocked in his heart at this time, and when he reacted, he found that his fingers were also pointed straight at his forehead, and then he looked at this scene that he had never seen before, and he muttered to himself: "What is this feeling that makes my blood boil so much......
