104, the protagonist doesn't have to be lonely
After clearing a two-meter-long weed, Ankang came to the river. If you look around, you can see some traces of animal activity along the river, such as footprints and overwhelmed plants.
And through these inconspicuous details, Ankang and the computer were able to roughly deduce the time, purpose, and size of these creatures to come to this place.
Looking at the super long river leading to an unknown place, the water quality is very clear, although it is a big night, but through the moonlight and the light source emitted by an insect similar to fireflies that appears in the bushes from time to time, the scenery by the river can also be seen more clearly, perhaps the night has set off a more quiet atmosphere. This beautiful scene of pristine ecology temporarily relieved Ankang's tense mood for several hours.
Looking in the direction of the current, Ankang found that at the end of his line of sight, there seemed to be a landform similar to a hill or a mountain, which roughly corresponded to the map in the power armor computer that was synthesized from the image data taken during the previous orbit landing.
But at this time, Ankang found a bone on the ground, he picked it up, and after a cursory look, he found that something was wrong - the bone was too clean, and the cut was too neat.
It reminded him of the unidentified creatures that were wreaking havoc on the earth. After fighting with those unknown creatures for most of the night, Ankang naturally knew that the mouthparts, claws, and other places of those things had an excellent "blade" that obviously didn't seem to be able to evolve naturally. It is strong, tough, and sharp enough to cut through such bones with the powerful muscular strength of the king swarm.
To put it simply, there may be a swarm of insects moving here, and judging from some of the animal carcasses around, it may be that the Meda King Worm has just left and may not be here.
However, the optical and infrared sensors on Ankang's body did not find any of the Meda King insects within a three-kilometer radius of Ankang.
After repeatedly confirming that there should indeed be no Meda's king insects around, Ankang lifted his alert, but still opened the search and identification range of the underground vibration detector to the maximum, and then ate some compressed dry food.
At first, Ankang thought that so much food was enough for him to eat for more than a month, but after several hours of running and high psychological tension, he felt that his consumption was much faster. Then it may be possible to eat some food earlier, but it is not necessarily.
After eating the quota of dry food and drinking some water, Ankang took two deep breaths again and whispered to himself: "Come on, come on, no problem, no problem." ”
In a lonely environment alone, Ankang can only use this way to avoid too many problems in his psychological condition, as for whether it is useful or not, it is better than not doing it at all.
Along the riverbank, he continued in the direction of the hill or the mountain, but he did not walk on the riverbank openly, but about 20 meters away from the riverbank, where the place was generally overgrown with low shrubs and some other tall trees, these plants and rocks on the way could hide his body better. And at this distance, the ground is relatively thick, and it will not be like the soft soil on the river bank that walks through an oversized pit. (Note 1)
A chill seemed to suddenly rush from Ankang's left arm to his brain, so in the next second, Ankang couldn't help but shiver, and a feeling of uneasiness in his heart arose.
Looking around, nothing special appeared, not even a small animal or insect seemed to be, and the power armor did not sound any alarm.
But just in case: "Computer, do a dangerous scan and scan yourself." ”
"Understood, please wait for the power armor self-test to be completed, there is no problem. The danger scan is completed, there are no suspicious targets within two kilometers. ”
"It's weird, how can it be like this" Since crossing over, Ankang has gradually begun to realize that his danger perception seems to be a very useful ability, so after the Battle of Earth, Ankang has paid more and more attention to that "bad premonition".
[Could it be that this time it didn't work, after all, this kind of thing is not very reliable, and I'm not a Jedi from Coruscant]
Looking at the hilly area that was already very close, Ankang stopped to rest. After taking a sip of water, he looked up at the sky.
To tell the truth, Ankang had looked up at the sky with hope more than once in the past few hours, hoping that the rescue plane would fly down in a very handsome position, and then the pilot's taunting voice could be heard from the communication channel.
However, nothing like this happened, and after several disappointments, this look up was purely an action to give yourself psychological comfort, and by the way, look at the pristine starry sky, after all, the rumored Milky Way could not be seen at all in the 21st century before Ankang.
[Ah, it's so empty, it's so lonely, wait, what kind of! 】
Almost without thinking, An Kang picked up the assault rifle in his hand and fired six shots in the direction where a black spot he found when An Kang looked up just now.
To be honest, it didn't seem to be moving at all, but after two seconds, the black dot seemed to explode and made Ankang realize that he should have hit that thing, and that thing, Ankang is definitely not a friendly unit, because the IFF (Identification of Friend or Foe) has no hint at all.
Moreover! When Ankang's eyes focused on the black dot, although the enlarged image of the power armor helmet was a little blurry due to the height, Ankang would definitely not mistake it as the airdrop bag of the King of the Meda Clan.
Ankang quickly ran from the hilly area, because Ankang really didn't know if there was something else behind the airdrop bag, and he was not sure whether the airdrop bag that was blown up by Ankang at 3.5 kilometers in the air still survived.
Therefore, under this premise, the hilly area is definitely better than the plain area for individual combat.
The hilly area was very close, and it only took about two minutes for Ankang to run into the hilly area at high speed, and turned on all his detection equipment.
However, when he first turned on the active radar, he felt bad - God knows if the Meda King Worm passively accepted the radar or something.
It turns out that Ankang proved through his own actions that the king insect swarm has something like passively accepting radar.
When Power Armor's active radar started working and finished work in just ten seconds, Ankang searched for hundreds of suspicious targets in the distance.
And at the same time that Ankang saw "suspicious target detected" on the analysis screen, he heard a very familiar sound of breaking the air - it was an artillery type of plasma shelling!
Ankang quickly evaded and ran towards the place where the shelling insect was, but at this time, the passive radar of the power armor also discovered the swarm's airdrop bag (this time it was even directly targeted)
The sky was instantly full of wormholes, and I don't know how many airdrop sacs rushed out of these small wormholes, and the organs on the airdrop sacs with functions similar to radar unscrupulously "strafed" the "radar waves" to the ground in the process of falling to the ground, and adjusted their falling orbits according to the data fed back.
==================================
Note 1: Ceilings, dirt, and so on are not as load-bearing as expected, let alone running and jumping. And in some places, the track can pass, and the feet have to fall under the same weight, as if it is a relationship of pressure
Although there is anti-gravity, it is impossible to keep it on all the time. Similarly, the detection equipment that is generally turned on is mainly optical, infrared, and passive radar.
