Chapter Eighty-Three: The Threat of the Army
After picking up the gear, Shen Chao asked Custer to stop the car near a small gas station nearby. The two assigned tasks, Shen Chao was responsible for transferring Alice, and Custer was responsible for blocking the enemy here. As soon as the car stopped, Shen Chao rushed out of the car door with Alice, who was still in a coma. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into a nearby alley.
One of the pursuing helicopters was about to follow up when Castor fired a rocket from below him, knocking down the helicopter that was making an emergency stop and unable to maneuver. It wasn't until the plane was shot down that Shen Chao, who was running in front, found out that it was a military plane. Proper H-60, that is, the army version of the "Black Hawk".
The pilot of the other helicopter seemed to be frightened, and flew directly to a few hundred meters away with a low-altitude maneuver. I don't dare to lean in anymore. Castel ignored him, raised his weapon and engaged the "wolf pack" team that rushed over. He had to delay long enough for Shen Chao to be able to take Alice to the vicinity of the meeting place.
Shen Chao didn't waste even a second of time, he threw down the extra ammunition and bazooka in the alley, leaving only a base number of magazines. Holding Alice in her arms and sprinting through the alley at a speed of 100 meters. From time to time, he would encounter some sporadic zombies, and Shen Chao didn't care about them. In this case, a force jump directly over their heads and continue on their way.
It took him about 4 minutes to get to the meeting point he had just agreed on. He opened the communication channel and contacted Custer, who was surrounded by a large number of armed men.
"I'm in a mall near here, and there are six helicopters, two armored vehicles and a dozen armed Humvees outside, and the strength is about one company, and it's still growing. I'm stuck here......" Custer said with some self-reproach in his tone.
"Hold on there, Custer, I'll rush over at once." Pay attention to keep it covert...... "Shen Chao knew as soon as he heard that this was a very well-prepared joint operation, and it seemed that their actions were still a little slow. They had also received some radio messages from U.S. troops entering the city, but those messages were scattered and did not mention any arrests, so they didn't care.
It's the same with Ambrera, where there is very little communication. They only knew that the "wolf squad" was still in the city, but they didn't know the specific location. Now Shen Chao understood what was going on, it turned out that these bastards were working together again, needless to say, the goal was to arrest them.
Thinking of this, Shen Chao no longer hesitated, kicked open the door of a nearby grocery store, and then put Alice on the ground. He took a glass of water from the water dispenser in the aisle and poured it directly into Alice's face. Seeing that the effect was not obvious, Shen Chao patted her face again, and finally woke Alice up.
"You, what do you want me to do?" Alice stared at him and asked, like a tigress, seemingly ready to pounce on him and fight him again.
"Shut up and listen to me carefully. My partner, Custer, is now surrounded by the combined forces of the U.S. military and Ambrera. And it's all about transferring you safely. I'm going to go back and help him break through now, and you're here waiting for us to come back. He threw his pistol at Alice, and prepared to push the door open.
"Wait a minute, aren't you afraid I'll run away?" Also, who are you? Alice asked, picking up the pistol, looking confused, but not as hostile as she had been.
"You can run if you want, I don't have time for you right now." I'll explain my identity to you in detail when I get back......" Shen Chao took off his armor and let Alice look at his face, and then he pushed the door and left. Only Alice, who was stunned, was left in a daze. …,
With the speed mode on, Shen Chao rushed to the scene as fast as he could, he knew that it was impossible for Custer to escape from under the noses of hundreds of people by himself, he had to rush over to help as quickly as possible. When he returned to the alley, he encountered the zombies he had seen again, and this time he did not dodge, instead, he rushed over like a rugby player and knocked the zombies away.
Two minutes later, he rushed back to the scene of the battle. At this time, the mall where Custer was located had been surrounded by layers, and the nearest neighborhood was sealed off. The density of people here is too high, and Custer can't successfully sneak out with the little power of the nanosuit.
"Custer, I'm here, how are you in there?" Shen Chao asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm in the corner inside, I set up a few tricks outside, blew up a few of them, and now they don't dare to come in for the time being." Combined with the situation on the scene, Custer's tone was quite relaxed.
"Oh, by the way, you have to be careful outside. They seem to have infrared mirrors, so don't let them find out. Custer reminded. Although their nanosuits are able to prevent their own heat signatures from being transmitted, they still emit infrared rays that are higher than the ambient average when using stealth mode. It can be detected by highly sensitive infrared night vision devices.
Shen Chao heard this and carefully observed the scene, and he found several soldiers with huge infrared night vision devices that looked like oversized telescopes, and they were using the infrared goggles in their hands to stare intently at the shopping mall in front of them.
Next, Shen Chao spent another two minutes carefully observing the on-site environment and found several vulnerabilities that could be exploited. Anyway, he wouldn't have attacked, because the enemy firepower on the scene was several orders of magnitude stronger than his, and in the face of such dense firepower, even if he and Custer were both in armor mode, they could only resist for 1 or 2 seconds. The possibility of him and Custer breaking through with firepower is infinitely close to zero.
However, this does not mean that they have no choice, after observing the deployment of troops and the environment outside for a while, Shen Chao has a plan. He quickly discussed the plan with Custer.
"The explosion at that gas station doesn't attract enough attention, but if I can get the fire to burn around, the temperature in the neighborhood will rise dramatically, and the infrared mirrors in their hands will become ......decorations," Shen Chao recounted his tactical thinking.
"Wouldn't this be a bit risky, they seem to have a lot of people watching the periphery." If you're trapped too, it's going to be fine......" Custer was a little worried that they would all get stuck here.
"There's no time left to plan anything else, so let's do it, they're still sending troops here." In a few minutes, a battalion will be gathered here. At that time, no matter what the plan is, it will not be good. Shen Chao replied in an unquestionable tone. He was still very confident in the plan he had just made. Because the vast majority of U.S. troops here do not have infrared mirrors on their hands.
Two minutes later, with a burst of muffled gunfire, the three peripheral U.S. soldiers were hit in the head and chest by a dense and accurate burst of bullets and fell to the ground. As soon as they fell to the ground, they were found by their colleagues. Immediately, his colleagues raised their guns, and a barrage of bullets shot into a dark alley next to where gunshots could be heard. More than a dozen American soldiers shouted and fired fiercely with their automatic rifles and machine guns, and one or two quick reflexes pulled out their grenades and threw them over.
The sound of gunfire and explosions came in a dense manner. Almost all of the attention of the American troops in the vicinity was drawn to the exchange of fire here. No one saw it, and a high-speed figure shuttled through the shadows and quickly rushed in the other direction. Shen Chao only used a few rounds to successfully attract the attention of these soldiers who lacked actual combat experience. …,
He quickly shifted his position and came to the other side of the encirclement. He took off the muzzle silencer of the HK121 machine gun in his hand, moved his eyes to the triple holographic sight on the baseline again, and after aiming at a fuel tank dozens of meters away, he pulled the trigger, and with his crisp gunshot. A huge ball of fire rose from the gas station.
The nearby U.S. troops immediately turned their guns to Shen Chao's previous position, and a burst of bullets flew over, but they didn't hit anything. The U.S. military, who operated the high-sensitivity infrared mirrors and observed the surrounding environment, found that they were completely unable to distinguish the infrared signal in the direction of the explosion. That direction was just a large heat source, and they were completely unable to detect the enemy with the instruments in their hands.
Shen Chao took advantage of the background heat source here, and carefully walked in front of the US military position in concealment mode, although he could not be seen by thermal imaging, as long as he was close enough, these US troops could still find him with the naked eye.
So he didn't rush over, instead, he stopped when he was very close to the blockade, and then he pressed an explosion button, and a small remote-controlled bomb that he had thrown to the other side exploded. Since Shen Chao threw it on the fuel tank of a nearby abandoned family car, the explosion created another fire ball.
The U.S. troops at the scene were all nervous, and they raised their weapons and stared wide-eyed. They looked around, but they didn't see anything. Shen Chao hurried up and planted the three remaining remote-controlled bombs on the three Humvees in the encirclement before the battery ran out.
He then rushed into an armored car, which had an open hatch in the top. Before the battery ran out, he rushed into the cabin. Then he quickly drew his knife and killed the three crew members in the cabin who had not had time to scream. Seeing that several people in front of him were out of breath, Shen Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his table just now can be considered very successful, it is also very dangerous. If he makes any wrong move, he will surely fall into a deeper siege and find himself in a more dangerous situation than Custer. Looking outside, the nearby American troops were still looking for him, and no one found that one of their armored vehicles at the scene had been occupied.
