Chapter 8 Scorpion Swarm at Night on

After the rainstorm, the ground is filled with mud mixed with radioactive fallout, and the surrounding radiation is greatly enhanced, making it difficult for even fighters with strong tolerance to radiation to stay in this environment for a long time. The basic medical kit for infantry contains drugs that protect against radiation, but they have limited effectiveness and are only effective for one day. This is to allow the fighters to pass through the harsh areas of high radiation. Like the six rainstorm-drenched warriors, the medicine in the basic kit didn't work.

The current harsh environment makes cleaning Pendulum City a difficult and unnecessary task. Quinn selected a few thick-skinned warriors who were particularly resistant to radiation, cleared a passage in Pendulum City, and brought out a few truckloads of fuel, and then the warriors packed up their tents and equipment, boarded the trucks, and evacuated to the predetermined area.

Su has already ordered a new batch of individual anti-radiation agents, of course, they are only basic drugs, and the price of advanced drugs is increasing exponentially. Even if these drugs are a set of tens of yuan, because of the large quantity, Su, who has already become extremely poor financially, has to buy it on credit from Helen, but this time, Helen did not taunt again, and directly agreed, it seems that in her heart, this amount is still within Su Mu's credit range.

The process of retreat was swift and effective, but somewhat scattered. If Leigh was in command, there would not have been such an outcome. Quinn was more accustomed to guerrilla warfare that took advantage of the terrain, and did not need to be as strict as the army to deal with the mob, as long as the individual was strong, well-equipped, and not afraid of death, he could generally win.

Instead of sitting in a relatively comfortable off-road vehicle like a normal dragoon, Sue sat in the firing position on the roof of the cab of the truck, watching ahead. His rifle was at his side, and the heavy machine gun in the firing position was not very easy to use, but it was obviously better against group targets.

The next battle will be different from the past, and it will be the first time that Su will have to deal with so many heavily armored targets.

In the past, Su was not afraid of chariots, in his opinion, slow movement and attacking chariots with a large number of dead ends were not a threat at all, there were ways to deal with them, and if they couldn't do it, they could escape. With Sue's speed as he runs through the wilderness, he has never encountered a chariot that can catch up with him in difficult terrain. Moreover, Su used to fight alone, and he only dealt with a few old-fashioned chariots. But against the blue scorpion, it is no longer a fight for someone, but a war. There will be several, if not a dozen, of new vehicles against them, and there will certainly be more and more advanced combat robots. These war machines with autonomous intelligence will subvert the logic of previous wars, they have no fear, they are not afraid of death, they can survive and fight in the harshest environments, they will strictly carry out orders, and they will never have tolerance and mercy for the enemy. And Su, as the commander-in-chief of the army, could not be the first to escape.

The sniping that Su was accustomed to was almost useless against such thickly armored mechanical targets, and the best weapons were missiles like the 'Bronze Dragon', and the anti-armor guns were also so-so. However, the scope of application of these two weapons is very small, they cannot deal with mutant creatures, and they are very expensive, and in Su's opinion, the future use of this kind of weapon is actually not very wide. I just don't know how effective the bullets Helen sent.

Ever since Enzo's death, Sue has been carefully considering how to deal with mechanical targets such as chariots. After reading the list of abilities of the Dark Dragoon in detail, Su found that the weapon control ability of the Lingtong Domain, or the electrical energy or magnetic field of the Spell-like Domain, was the most suitable for dealing with chariots or robots, but what could really threaten the Blue Scorpion Chariot was only a few fifth-order special abilities, if you wanted to get these abilities, not to mention that Su did not have so many evolution points at present, even if he did, he could not afford the price of the formula potion.

The main ability domain that Su has been strengthening all this time is the Perception Domain, which is the most important skill in a wilderness full of unknown risks. The sooner you can spot the enemy, the better you have a chance to survive. He was now full of anticipation for the new sixth-order ability in the Perception Domain, and he was also a little uneasy. Because if you don't use the recipe for the Dark Dragoon, he? Not sure what the new abilities will be.

Helen's new location for Sue's forces is less than 10 kilometers from the border of the Dark Dragoon's core district, an abandoned town called Evenford. The town is located behind a hill that can be a good position to block the Blue Scorpion's onslaught. Most of the houses in the town itself are in good condition and can be used with minor repairs. The area leading to Dragon City is also gentle, and old-fashioned trucks can pass through.

The dozens of men who had been evacuated in advance by Roxerland had already set up simple camps and field hospitals in the town under the guidance of Persephone. Basic supplies were delivered, as well as ammunition. As Sue retreated from Pendulum City, Helen sent three more heavy artillery pieces and set up a heavy artillery position at the rear of the town. These three cannons are not Su's credit, the heavy artillery itself and the personnel who operate the cannons are Helen's people, but they are rented to Su, and Su has to pay for every shell fired, and the price is half higher than the list price of the dragoon, and the extra part is considered rent. Sue has no objection to this. Heavy artillery is to be depreciated, and gunners will incur expenses, and now Su has the most basic common sense of economics. Moreover, with the Soviet Union's understanding of weapons and military in the new era, it is actually not clear whether weapons such as heavy artillery are needed and how to use them, so more professional personnel are needed to manipulate them.

Although Evenford is not big, it was also a small town that once accommodated a thousand people, so it was not a problem to accommodate Sue. But by the time all the personnel were settled, it was already late at night.

Sue couldn't sleep, so she simply climbed to the top of the hill in front of the town, looking northwest and pondering. From this hill, the terrain is no longer flat, but undulating, with hills rolling and undulating, but the hill in front of Evenford is the highest of them, and the view from here is almost unobstructed.

The tactics board vibrated again, and Helen was still visible on the screen. Sue was a little curious about Helen's schedule, she never seemed to need to sleep.

"Sue, the chip you sent has been preliminarily cracked, and there are a lot of interesting things in it. First of all, compared to the chips found on the corpses of the original Calamity Scorpion Warriors, these chips are smaller, more complex, and more powerful. From a structural point of view, the latest three chips should be products of the same batch number, and compared with the original chips, they should belong to the third generation of products. The chips we initially found had only a small number of control functions, the most obvious being inhibition**, as well as the release of microcurrents that stimulate nerves, which can make fighters more excited when fighting. The third-generation chip has a variety of functions to control the spirit and emotion, and the person who implants this chip can already be called a puppet without emotion in a certain way. ”

With Helen's explanation, the deconstructed pictures of the chips are displayed on the screen, of course, Sue can't understand it at all. Helen didn't seem to care if he could read it, as long as he did: "The third-generation chip has a small memory inside, but the capacity is limited. I came up with a plan for Calamity Scorpion's battle, which was only partial, but it was enough. Calamity Scorpion plans to launch an assault on Pendulum City, using a single armored company equipped with new combat mechs, or more. After eliminating the resistance around Pendulum City, they continued to expand their exploration in depth, and the preferred direction of their attack was Evonford. Congratulations, Lieutenant Sue. ”

"What about the time they attack? What should I do? "Su didn't have much experience in dealing with this kind of war. If Leiz is there, none of this is a problem. Although Li is only 18 years old, she has been fighting for six years and has been leading soldiers for four years.

"It's not clear when they'll attack, but it should be quick. My advice is that you should send someone out to reconnoiter and expand the scope of reconnoitery. In the event of an attack by superior armoured forces, it is possible to retreat to Evenford, where the heavy artillery should pose a great threat to armored targets. Combined with the 'Bronze Dragon' missile in your hand, it will exert even more power. ”

"Understood." Sue stood up and walked towards Evenford.

Two hours later, a dozen experienced fighters were in the vast darkness of the night, walking towards the predetermined positions in the distance. They are all good gunslingers, and the mountain terrain is the best to play to their strengths. Each fighter has a field communication system that allows them to exchange messages with the rear.

Sue stood on the top of the hill and watched as the warriors disappeared into the night one by one. There was a faint uneasiness in his heart, as if he was watching the warriors gradually descend to hell. And in the blowing night wind, Sue seemed to smell blood.

Su actually knew very well that he didn't see any signs of anything unusual at all, the night wind was very cold, with a cold aura common in the wilderness, but there was no smell of blood in it, not the slightest. It's a sense of danger, and it's a physical feeling, reminding Sue in this way.

Su Xiang tried to look into the depths of the night. But in the dark night, even if he has many enhanced perception abilities such as low-light vision and infrared vision, the range of vision he can see is far less than that of daytime. Looking at it this way, Sue found nothing. He took out his tactical binoculars and scanned the mountains again at night. But after switching all the modes, Su still couldn't find where the danger came from, so he had to put the telescope away. After all, this is a bargain in his hand, and it can't compare with those high-end gadgets.

Just when Su thought that his feelings were wrong, a blue light suddenly lit up on the mountains in the distance! Then came the screams of a soldier on his deathbed, and finally the dull sound of a gunshot.

Sniper! Su Huoran turned around, his pupils constricting sharply.

In various locations, blue lights lit up one after another, followed by intertwined screams and gunshots.

More than just a sniper.

Su took a deep breath, removed the rifle from his back, and rushed into the night. In the night, only a faint emerald green light could be seen, and then it returned to darkness.
