Chapter 158: Return to the safe zone

For Alice, the most important goal of her return this time is to change the fate of Raccoon City, Shen Chao took her advice and integrated some of her ideas into their plan this time, if they are happy, they will soon be able to achieve this series of purposes.

Like the world of Splinter Cell that they had just visited, they wouldn't be staying too long this time, so Alice was going to finish the preparatory part of her plan as early as possible.

Custer's mode of action inspired her that she could not only rely on the strength of the expedition team to fulfill her wishes, and she knew that Shen Chao could not take them to solve the various biochemical events in the future like a firefighter in the biochemical world all day long.

The solution to the crisis here can only be solved by the natives of this world, who are now driving straight in the direction of the stadium, Alice is in charge of driving, and Shen Chao is in charge of controlling the "Revenant" machine gun they have just installed on the roof of the car.

This gun is Alice's main weapon. She seemed to like the constant firepower of the weapon. At this time, he was driving and didn't need it, so Shen Chao was playing the role of a fireman.

Custer himself was sitting in the passenger seat, using the remote control terminal to control the two drones they had just flown off. This drone was also purchased by Shen Chao in the Mass Effect world, and a single fully loaded ammunition and accessories only weighed about 40 kilograms. Can fly for a long time and fight.

This is a kind of battlefield auxiliary machine produced by Starlink that has long been finalized, which can be controlled remotely or programmed to run automatically. It is equipped with armor that allows it to defend against the frontal armor of the main plane's main gunships. With the shield, the defense is also relatively impressive.

But even so, in the face of the Mass Effect guns coming. This is not much better than the papier-mâché, as the ballistics of the Mass Effect firearms are stable, and all regular armed personnel have helmet-assisted sights.

The cost of a single drone is close to the cost of a Starlink soldier's full body equipment. Close to 4,000 Star Coins. But the combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of a well-trained Starlink soldier.

In combat, it does not have the advantage of the distance of fire, and although it can effectively avoid being hit by ground fire when flying at high speed in the air, it cannot effectively pour fire on ground targets.

Due to its high cost and limited battlefield role, it is not very popular in the Mass Effect world, where the drone has always been an awkward role in attracting enemy firepower on the interstellar battlefield.

However, in this low-tech plane, this high-tech drone is an artifact-like existence. It has a high ability to maneuver. Capable of cruising at a maximum speed of 340 kilometers per hour.

At the same time, it also has relatively high ground attack and defense. The modified small-caliber Mass Effect machine gun is capable of firing continuously for long periods of time, and its kinetic energy can reach the level of 14.5mm heavy machine gun ammunition in the main plane.

The penetration is as defiant as any Mass Effect weapon. It can quickly penetrate most heavily armored targets in the main plane.

In addition, this batch of combat auxiliary UAVs bought by Shen Chao has also been upgraded with a detection system. Since this drone is cannon fodder in the world of Mass Effect, the original model is only equipped with a rudimentary wide-angle camera and infrared detector.

This version of Shen Chaomai was modified by the engineers of the Divine Citadel on the spot, and is equipped with advanced infrared detectors, combat detection radars and full-angle observation pods, which can significantly improve the reconnaissance and combat capabilities of this drone.

At this time. Custer is operating the two drones to carry out pathfinding reconnaissance, and his task this time is relatively easy, taking care of the drones and some electronic surveillance. The last time they were blocked, it was a testament to their need to constantly monitor the communications of nearby U.S. troops. …,

Originally, Shen Chao was the most suitable for doing this job. After all, he has a cheat like a universal tool, but his symbolism is too strong. The last time they came, Shen Chao was playing the role of the actual leader of the expedition.

So. All parties involved, whether it's the U.S. military or Ambrera or the people in the security zone they have created, will focus on him. He needed to step in and solve a lot of problems in their plans. You can't scoop a terminal like a tablet like Custer is doing now.

Although they rushed back quickly, by the time they reached the safety zone, the army had already arrived for a while. After Ambrera and the U.S. military failed in their first ambush on Shen Chao, they immediately began a small-scale dragnet search.

At the same time, in the headquarters outside the city of Raccoon City, Major General Hogues sent a team of rangers to be transferred to the safe zone established by Shen Chao, and these soldiers were ordered to occupy the safe zone as a foothold for subsequent airdrop troops in the city.

At this time, several Black Hawk helicopters were hovering over the gymnasium, and there was a strong source of electromagnetic interference nearby, and Shen Chao and they could not contact the people in the gymnasium through conventional radio.

But they had already learned about the situation here through two armed hoverdrones that had arrived at the scene in advance of Guò. The U.S. military had only just arrived, and only about 30 people landed in the stadium by way of guò landing, and they were being watched by thousands of survivors.

It was really onlookers, and although their commander, a major, was eager to lead his soldiers to take control of the scene and enter the communication center under construction, the suspicious gazes and unfriendly expressions of the hundreds of gun-wielding civilians here made him dare not act rashly.

It's only been a day, but it's clear that the civilians here have lost trust in these soldiers. The officers appointed by Shen Chao were also anxiously trying to contact him by radio. They don't know what to do.

However, Lieutenant Bell, who was in charge of managing the security zone, did remember what Shen Chao had said before leaving: anyone who entered the security zone had to get his consent, so he was nervously trying to contact Shen Chao.

"How's the safe zone?" Shen Chao asked while standing in the back of the pickup truck with a machine gun.

"It's not good, the U.S. troops have arrived, and they're negotiating with our appointed officers. But it looks like they don't know that we've left the G virus in the command room. Custer replied as he looked at the magnified image sent back from the control terminal.

"Alice, how long will it take for us to arrive?" Shen Chao then asked Alice in the driver's seat in front of him.

"Soon ......," Alice said, and with that she stepped on the top of the van's accelerator and led them through the messy streets of Raccoon City.

Unlike when she was shopping for clothes, Alice said very quickly, indeed very fast, her car skills were superb, and she kept the high speed all the way back to the gymnasium, and it only took 2 minutes in between.

The safe zone they have created is currently the largest concentration of living people in the city. Therefore, there are quite a lot of zombies wandering outside, and Shen Chao has visually inspected them, and there are 3 or 4 hundred.

But this is nothing for them at the moment, as soon as they drove to the corner of the street, Shen Chao began to shoot at the zombie group in front of him. The Revenant's refrigeration system is very powerful, and its barrel is able to maintain a high rate of fire before firing 600 rounds before it overheats.

And what Shen Chao is doing is the most untechnical strafing, the zombies in front of him are very dense, and he can almost knock down batches of zombies without him aiming.

Of course, he wasn't fighting alone, as Alice jumped out of the car as soon as she pulled it over, scooped out two locust submachine guns and fired at the zombies in front of her.

Custer was more relaxed, he operated two drones to descend into the air, harvesting this group of zombies from the side, their firepower was very strong, and it only took about a minute to destroy all the zombies here. …,

After all, the intelligence of the zombies is still very low, and after seeing them, they will only slowly gather into a dense group and rush over. As a result, they were quickly wiped out under the blow of their future weapons. Shen Chao didn't even have time to try out the heavy weapons they brought this time.

The Mass Effect Booster's outstanding penetration allows them to fire bullets that often pierce a large row of targets. That's why they were able to kill so many hundreds of zombies so quickly.

Their gunshots could be heard by the people in the safety zone, and when the group guarding the gate saw that it was them, they immediately backed the truck blocking the door and opened the gate to let them in.

They drove back to the stadium with a large bloodstain, and when they entered the stadium, they saw the American soldier confronting everyone on the lawn, he scooped up his weapons and got out of the car, and Alice also scooped up his equipment and followed.

Custer was separated from them and rushed to the command room to retrieve the virus. After recovering the virus, he will also set up an MANPADS. This is an insurance measure to avoid being neutralized in the wrath of some hot-headed leaders.

Custer temporarily interrupted the operation of the two drones, but he was not worried about the safety of the drones at all, because although the combat effectiveness of the unmanned drones was relatively poor, they still had the ability to protect themselves.

Two drones went on autopilot as soon as the terminal was turned off and began to scan the scene, one of them began a precise scan of the stadium, and the other began to automatically detect and identify all heat sources within a radius of 5 km.

The drone responsible for ground scanning quickly identified Shen Chao and his party with the IFF identification module below as friendly forces, and other targets as civilians or armed civilians, and the U.S. military was identified as an unknown armed force with a low threat degree.

Although it has been improved, the operating system used by these two drones is still the standard combat type of Starlink. This method of identification determines their actions in the standby state.

In the absence of enemies, they are programmed to automatically follow up and cover bound friendly targets at a set height, and actively attack enemy targets.

They do not attack unarmed civilian targets, and even if they are attacked by armed civilians, they will only rise to a safe height or evacuate the scene and will not shoot at civilians.

However, if a civilian target starts attacking a friendly force on the ground, they will automatically attack the civilian target. While at the doorway, Custer had entered a new enemy target in their identification database: zombies. (To be continued.)
