Chapter 84: Escape and Explanation
Shen Chao pulled the captain's corpse and wiped off the blood stains that had just been sprayed on the control board. After checking the control system of the Stryker armored car in front of him, he quickly found the switch on the emergency smoke launcher. This is thanks to the all-round training of the third echelon, although he has only driven the Stryker armored car once before, but at least he can still do it.
After confirming the inscription on the control board, he pressed it without hesitation. Anyone with military knowledge knows that the emergency smoke launchers on vehicles are designed to interfere with the enemy's line of sight. Equivalent to a large smoke bomb. As a fighter jet weighing nearly 20 tons, the Stryker armored reconnaissance vehicle that Shen Chao was operating had as many as two full rows of smoke launchers.
Almost as soon as he opened it, the armored vehicle immediately spewed out a large amount of white-gray smoke, enveloping a radius of more than ten meters. All the U.S. troops in the vicinity were covered, and no one could see the situation in the vicinity clearly. And people outside the smoke can't see what's going on inside. At this moment, Shen Chao climbed out of the armored car, pulled the tabs of the several offensive grenades he had just captured, and threw them out casually.
Although it was said that it was thrown out casually, Shen Chao was still at a distance of dozens of meters, so the US troops, who were not affected by the smoke, immediately scattered in panic after seeing a few grenades that rushed out of the smoke, hoping that they would find a correct cover before the grenade exploded.
Then, Shen Chao returned to the car, operating the automatic machine gun on the Stryker armored car and firing hundreds of rounds outside. Although fired indiscriminately, the fire of the .50 caliber machine gun successfully damaged the defense line of the American troops in the vicinity. The nearby U.S. troops couldn't see what was going on inside the smoke, so they didn't dare to fight back, so they could only panic and look for the nearest bunker.
At this point, Shen Chao's rescue plan has been halfway through. After hearing the explosion of the grenade and the screams of several American soldiers, while the machine gun began to change again, Shen Chao jumped out of the armored car.
He turned on the stealth mode of the nanosuit and carefully left the smoke range. And Custer took advantage of the chaos and slipped out of the mall under his command. The two began to evacuate according to the previously agreed route, dodging the infrared mirrors that were still looking for them, and detonating several remote-controlled bombs that had been placed earlier.
As he pressed the button in batches, several Humvees in the encirclement also flew up in batches. The crew inside and the nearby U.S. troops were not injured or wounded, dead and wounded. All the U.S. troops in the encirclement were terrified by these sudden explosions, and many of them were shooting indiscriminately in all directions. Shen Chao and Custer also successfully took advantage of the short-term chaos of the US military, and cautiously, little by little, sneaked out of the encirclement.
Two minutes later, their figures appeared in a nearby alley, and the two escaped from the encirclement of the American army without danger. They did not stay on the scene to count the results, and as usual, they left the scene as quickly as possible after completing the predetermined goal.
"Phew, this time it's really dangerous, it looks like we have to get out of this world quickly." Custer said as he looked away.
"We can't leave yet, remember the virus box we got?" Shen Chao also slowed down, they were out of the absolute detection range of the US military. Satellites couldn't see them blocked by buildings.
"Damn, I would have brought it with me if I knew I would." Custer burst into a foul language, because it takes up more space, it is not easy to take, they used to put the box of viruses in the command room of the safe zone. Anyway, they thought their safe zone was safe enough, and there was a code on the box, and they didn't tell the other officers not to touch it, so everyone else thought it was explosives or electronic equipment or something. Theoretically, it's safe to put the virus there. …,
But the current situation is not optimistic, the size of the US military on the scene just now, if their guess is correct, then the current US military must have received a lot of support, and the encirclement against Raccoon City has been fully completed. Otherwise they would not have delivered such a large number of troops in the city.
"Let's go to Alice first, and then we'll talk about the virus. Shen Chao thought about it and decided that he still regarded Alice as the most important mission goal. As long as they can convince Alice to join them, the two of them will achieve their goal this time. The G virus or anything was not in their plan in the first place, and this time it was completely abandoned. After all, now their own safety comes first.
Shen Chao took Custer all the way back to the previous grocery store. He quickly pushed open the door in front of him and walked in quickly with Custer, only to see the empty room. It seemed that Alice had left, but Shen Chao didn't turn around and leave immediately, he had a feeling that even if Alice didn't believe him this time, he wouldn't just leave.
"Alice, are you there?" We don't have much time, so if you're still around, come out and talk. Shen Chao took off his face armor and said after looking at the empty room.
"You've got to give me some answers this time. Alice's voice came from a pile of stairs, and she walked down the stairs with a Winchester Model 1901 double-barrel shotgun that she had found somewhere. Shen Chao knew as soon as he saw the caliber of this gun that Alice was not joking, with their current distance, the power of the No. 10 scatter bullet was unparalleled.
Although it may sound like a No. 10 shotgun is not big, in fact, whether it is the caliber, the amount of charge or even the kinetic energy carried by the ammunition, it is larger than that of the No. 12 shotgun. Even if a bear is shot, half of his life will be lost. Shen Chao felt that even if he turned on the armor mode, the nanosuit could only help him block the lethality of the first 2 shots.
"No problem, I'll answer your questions, what do you want to know first?" Shen Chao looked at Alice and felt that she had no obvious hostility, so he pulled a chair and sat down, the mental pressure on him from the battle just now was not small, and at this time, the effect of his own adrenaline secretion passed, and Shen Chao felt a little uncomfortable in his head.
"What the hell are you doing in the beginning?" You've never sued me before. Seeing that none of them had raised their guns against her, Alice lowered the muzzle of her own hand, approached, and stood beside her and asked.
"Let me think about it, I've been an industry model statistician for 3 years, and a very exciting career field agent for 2 years. And now, I'm a full-time time traveler, traveling through time and space on a regular basis to accumulate resources and experience for my time and space expeditions. Shen Chao poured himself a glass of water, and then told the truth.
"Ha, you expect me to believe ......" Alice almost laughed out loud, she looked at Shen Chao like a neuropath, she really didn't expect Shen Chao to fool her like this.
"Karst didn't believe it at first, so if you don't, you can ask him. Shen Chao replied while drinking water. He made up his mind, this time he would not explain after crossing like he had done with Custer before. He and Custer had been busy all day, and they were already tired, and although they could continue to fight for a long time, she really didn't want to waste any more effort to knock Alice to the ground.
"It's true, he took me through without explaining it to me at first, and as a result, I beat him up for this. Custer said in a joking tone.
"Hey, I think it was when we were tied. Oh no, I still had injuries on my body, so I won it. Shen Chao immediately retorted. …,
"Enough, you two are crazy. Do you really think you can travel through time? Alice looked at him like an idiot and smiled.
"Of course, or how can we ...... like this" Shen Chao said and turned on the concealment mode of the nanosuit, and suddenly the parts covered by the nanosuit on the surface of his body and even his gun were gone. Alice's jaw dropped when she saw this. Except for the exposed head, all other parts of Shen Chao now are integrated into the surrounding environment.
"How so? Can you explain what's going on? Alice's eyes widened as she looked at Shen Chao, who had turned on the optical camouflage. She was so surprised that she almost dropped her weapon to the ground.
"The clothes on our bodies are called nano suits, and these two nano suits are obtained by us in a world with developed military science and technology, which can greatly improve the combat ability of personnel and the probability of survival on the battlefield. It's the next generation of weapons. Shen Chao turned off the concealment mode and said sincerely, he believed that the evidence he gave was enough to convince Alice, after all, their nanosuit was at least 20 years ahead of the world in terms of technical content.
"What other evidence do you have to prove your claims?" Alice asked, letting go of her prejudices, still a little skeptical.
"It's a lot, our weapons are basically products of another world, the FIVE-SEVEN pistol with a built-in silencing barrel in your hand is a product of FN after 2000 AD, and the SCAR-H assault rifle in Custer's hand only began to be mass-produced after 2007......" Shen Chao began to list the things on them that did not belong to this world.
"And this, smartphones. After more than a decade, basically everyone has it. Shen Chao took out a military rugged mobile phone that looked like a small brick from his backpack and showed Alice how to use it. With this "evidence", Alice finally believes that they are not from this world.
Because although the things that Shen Chao took out are basically not high-tech, it is incomprehensible, but there is everything in it, weapons, ammunition, and electronic products that I have never seen before, and there is even a copy of the New York Times in 2012. The appearance of these things alone doesn't mean anything, but Shen Chao can take out so many things at once, it can only mean that these things are not fake.
After all, Alice didn't believe anyone would forge a thick copy of the New York Times full of credible content for her alone. Alice just flipped through the thick newspaper and believed Shen Chao's words.
