Chapter 377: Killing Machine in the Dark

"Great, sir... I'm just a trader, is there any misunderstanding between us? β€œ

Looking at the muzzle of the black hole in front of him, Jeep, who was sitting on the ground, didn't dare to take a breath, and trembled and pleaded.

However, the grim-looking man standing in front of him at this moment was indifferent to the PU-9 submachine gun he had picked up in his hand, and the man said in an interrogative tone.

"Where did this gun come from?"

Hearing this question, Jeep was bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to hide it, so he could only tell the truth honestly.

He had already guessed the identities of these people.

They're all from that ridiculously big airship, they're all from that damn legion, just like the men in black in the morning!

"I, I picked it up."

"Where did you pick it up?"

"To the east, five or six kilometers to the east, along the edge of the forest, there is a place called Katyn Station... In the morning there was a group of people dressed like you, and they got into a fight with some of them, and I heard from other mercenaries that they seemed to be from the Alliance.

Jeep said tremblingly, but the grim-looking man standing in front of him gradually became gloomy.

”… Coalition. ”

He had never heard of the name when he first came to the province of River Valley, and he thought that it was probably a regional powerhouse that had risen in the vicinity in recent years.

This is not uncommon.

Man himself is an animal that likes to huddle together for warmth.

Whatever that alliance was, though, now they've not only provoked the Legion, they've killed the crew of the Ironheart.

The last survivor colony to do this, not only was the head of the colony hung on the airspeed tube of the Iron Heart, but the men, women, and children of the colony were captured by them and used as slaves.

In the end, the airship docked at the port, and none of the ten were sold to the mines, and most of the rest died on the way, and the causes of death were also varied.

There may be officers who restrain their men to treat their captives well, but definitely not General McLene, whom they respect. The barbarians who stand in their way have only two endings, either surrender or perish.

Vito's grim face ripped into a cruel smile.

He didn't care about that Herick, a weak man who couldn't even beat a few natives didn't deserve sympathy. What makes him happy is that there is new fun to be found.

Changed by that. His expression was frightened, and Jep said tremblingly.

"I, I don't know those people, I just happened to be passing by...

"How many of them there are?"

"Three, three....

"Three?"

"And there's a talking bear! They were driving an armed truck with a person who couldn't speak, and it seemed that they were going to Luoxia Province, but after that incident, they didn't continue west, but turned back! I remember! They're heading east! If you go east along the edge of the forest, you'll find them! β€œ

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Jep spoke incoherently and poured out all the information he knew.

Vito thought quietly.

Talking Bear...

He'd never heard of anything like it, but it was a wasteland after all, and anything could happen. It was the bear that killed Herick and his brothers.

Standing behind Vito, a muscular man stepped forward half a step forward and said in a muffled voice.

"It's just a trap put by those guys that broke our airship."

He had two blood-stained axes around his waist and a shotgun with a sawn short barrel on his back.

Although he can obviously end his opponent's life with a bullet, he enjoys the pleasure of splitting his opponent's skull with an axe.

"I don't rule it out." Vito pondered calmly for a moment, then whispered slowly, "We must make them pay."

Another lanky man said.

"How?"

"Report the news to Lord Rechel first, and then continue to track it east... The wounded of the enterprise are also in their hands.

β€œ

After a pause, Vito continued.

"If we can catch the culprit who broke our airship and the employees of that enterprise at the same time, maybe General McLaan will personally praise us."

While the three black-cloaked legionnaires were discussing, Jep glanced at the goods and the bloodied two-headed cow scattered around him, and felt a pain in his heart.

Today, I really poured eight lifetimes of blood mold.

He was blasted out of his tent by a group of crooked-nosed legionnaires, and then a group of men fought next to their cargo.

Before he could realize what had happened, a machine-gun truck went on a rampage and threw his tent up.

Those people were reasonable, and they paid him 3 dinars.

Although this amount of money was not enough to compensate him for his losses, it made him feel a little better.

Years of walking in the wasteland had taught him that this place was not a good place to stay for long. Therefore, he didn't think much about it, and immediately packed his bags and left the land of right and wrong.

However, he snatched their weapons and belongings from the corpses.

It was these things that brought him death.

Three cloaked men in black caught up with him, first shooting the head of the mercenary he had hired in the head, and then a muscular monster rushed up and slashed the remaining two guards with two axes.

He even had a feeling.

The three people in front of him were more fierce than the twenty or so people he had seen in the camp before.

Not only were these people awakened, but eighty percent of them had undergone physical modification surgery or something like that, and he clearly remembered that the muscular strong man had been shot, and now he was like a normal person, and even bandages were useless!

The three seemed to have reached an agreement and were ready to leave.

Jep breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally been saved.

However, just as he was thinking this, the man with a grim expression pointed the PU-9 submachine gun in his hand at him.

"Great, sir?"

Jep's heart lit up in his throat for a moment, and he begged for mercy in fear, but before he could finish his sentence, the sudden sound of gunfire knocked him into a sieve.

Looking at the wasteland man lying in a pool of blood, Vito casually tossed the submachine gun he had picked up.

The muscular man glanced at the goods scattered all over the ground and the two-headed cow that had fallen to the ground, and smacked his tongue with some pity.

"What a waste.

"Don't waste time, the task matters."

No more nonsense.

Vito took his team and hurried towards the east.

"Deflection shield?!"

Camp 101.

Looking at the photos presented on the screen, Payi, who had listened to Chu Guang's description, opened his mouth wide in surprise and blurted out this word that was somewhat unfamiliar to Chu Guang.

It took a long time to digest the shock in her heart, and she whispered.

"How the hell did you provoke that monster?"

Chu Guang sighed and said with a headache.

"It's not that we mess with them, it's that they come straight to us. This is a wasteland, and even if we don't do anything, trouble will find itself. β€œ

Thirty W-2 attack aircraft.

No life is still alive!

Those fifteen rockets were the last stubbornness of the pilots.

Although it didn't cause any damage to the airship in the end, thanks to the sacrifices of the players, the Vault had valuable information.

If it's time to put all the chips on the table, only to find that the weapons on your side can't break through the defense on the opposite side, then it's really over.

And now, at least he has time to think about countermeasures.

However, having said that, things like shields are beyond Chu Guang's cognition, and they are beyond the knowledge of players.

To this day, the mosquito is still shouting unscientific, and is crazy about Aether on the forum, demanding that the new version of the boss be slashed.

Chu Guang thought.

But after all, he is not a real planner, and this world is not a real game, and there is no such thing as a console for him.

Most of the prizes drawn from the Vault are also mainly "non-lethal weapons", and occasionally one or two pieces of equipment that seem strong are only suitable for personal defense, and are not even as good as the players' own weapons in large-scale wars.

After thinking about it, he could only turn to his friends at Camp 101 for help.

Hearing Pai use the word "monster", Chu Guang's expression gradually became solemn.

"That deflection shield, is it difficult to deal with?"

"Hmm...... Where to start? β€œ

Pai thought hard for a moment and continued.

"The bias shield was the standard configuration of every starship in the era of the People's Union, mainly used to defend against meteorite impacts, as well as kinetic weapons and chemically powered missiles launched by some illegally modified armed transport ships. The principle of the shield is based on the gravitational field-dependent effect, while the efficiency of the deflection is mainly related to the momentum and direction of the flying object. β€œ

β€œβ€¦ What do you mean? Chu Guang asked with a little headache.

Pai continued.

"To put it simply, the faster the object with a smaller angle of incidence, the greater the deflection force obtained in the horizontal direction of the shield, and the more obvious the change in the direction of the vector by the deflection shield."

Chu Guang asked bluntly.

"Is there a way to crack it?"

Pai on the screen nodded.

"Of course, the deflector shield is not a panacea. For example, for particle weapons, deflection shields have little effect, including but not limited to neutron bombs or optical weapons! β€œ

"Another example is some large-mass and low-speed objects, which can also effectively break through the defense of the shield, but the actual combat effect of this type of weapon is often very poor, after all, most ships will be equipped with at least one point defense artillery or electromagnetic cannon as a supplement to the shield system."

"However, the simplest and crudest method is actually kinetic weapons."

"Kinetic weapons?" Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and hesitated, "Didn't you just say... Will the shield have a large deflection effect on high-velocity objects? ”

Pai blinked, and continued as a matter of course.

"Yes, but energy is conserved."

"The interference of a deflection shield on a flying object consumes a lot of energy, and the cost of launching a mass bomb with an electromagnetic accelerator is much cheaper than the cost of deflecting a mass bomb."

"Exposure to dense fire for a short period of time can not only cause the shield capacitors to run out, but also cause the shield generator to overheat, allowing the shield to physically break through the shield's defenses. Ah, by the way, this line of thinking doesn't seem to have any reference value to you. ”

As if remembering something, she changed her mind.

"If it's a fusion reactor powering that airship, you'll probably have to run out of shells before the shield capacitors. I think you guys still use chemical cannonballs, right? ”

Chu Guang: .....

Then you talk about a hammer.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Guang looked at Pai on the screen and said.

"Thanks to the information, at least we've figured out what we need to deal with now."

The thank you seemed to be useful, and Pai curled the corners of her lips triumphantly and said generously.

"You're welcome! If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me! ”

Looking at Pai, who was happy because he had helped, Chu Guang couldn't help but be infected by her optimistic mood, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Well, I will."

After the end of the newsletter.

Chu Guang thought for a moment, called Shuyu who was far away in Boulder City, and said straight to the point.

"Tomorrow's Daily Survivor, I'd like to see the Legion's airship take over the entire page of the headline panel."

Hearing the manager's order, Shuyu was stunned, and his eyes were at a loss.

"The legion's airship?"

While photos of the Iron Heart have gone viral on the Wasteland's website, few residents of the New Alliance know about it.

After all, the "NPC" can't go to the official website, and the only one who can log in to the official website in the game is Chu Guang himself.

Therefore, when he heard this sentence from the manager, his mood was not so much shock, but rather a bewilderment that he was completely unaware of the situation.

Chu Guang knew that he probably didn't understand the situation at this time, so he didn't wait for him to ask, and continued straightforwardly.

"I'll explain the details to you later, including a photo of the airship, as well as the weapons on the airship, and so on

"None of that matters, though."

"The point is that we must make the survivors of Boulder City aware that savagery, more dangerous than the Bone Chewing Tribe, is advancing towards Clear Spring City. The giant wall can stop the waves, but it definitely can't stop the 400mm mortar. β€œ

"If they're not going to do anything, when the airship flies to their doorstep, wash their necks and wait for death."

"Of course, and most crucially, we need to let their town halls, banks, factories, etc., as well as the nobles and lords of the inner city know.

"The neighbor who borrowed 200 million chips from them, the one who is making them live a good life, is now in trouble!"

Night.

On the eastern outskirts of Ruigu City, about 20 kilometers away from the "Iron Heart", there is an "electric mule" full of goods parked.

The airship is almost invisible here, and naturally it will not be seen by the other party, so it is an excellent camping spot.

The relatively rugged terrain and dense vegetation can also provide good shelter from campfires.

The White Bear Knights chose to set up camp here, while Kariman continued on the road with his escorts to the city of Clear Springs for help.

In the end, Sisi still didn't agree to his request to go with him, after all, she had no way to verify his identity, let alone no plans to return to the northern suburbs.

Here, they'll have to wait to join up with the Storm Corps and build a base of operations before deciding on their next step - whether to deal with the Legion halfway through or find a chance to enter Vault 79 first.

In fact, Sisi prefers the latter.

What if there's a secret weapon hidden in it that can deal with an airship?

Although this is not very likely, it can be expected.

As a professional planner, Ah Kwong never puts two unrelated things in the same version.

No matter how real it is, it's a game after all.

Sitting next to a bonfire surrounded by stones, Sesame Paste fiddled with the silver card in his hand, his face visibly bewildered by the firelight.

"What the hell is this thing for?"

After handing over the card to her, that Luo Hua fell into a coma again, and didn't give her time to ask clearly.

"Could it be a key or something?"

Flesh, who was sitting in front of the campfire, tilted his head and muttered in a deep voice.

"I remember... The Trailblazer seems to have gone to the desert to find a shelter, as stated in the canon book on the official website. β€œ

"But why did he give us something so valuable?" Sesame paste said confusedly.

"Maybe because we're their friends?" Flesh said in an uncertain tone, "It's better to put it with us than to let the legion get it." ”

"I think differently."

Looking at the notebook in his hand, Sisi, who was sorting out the information, suddenly interjected into the topic and said.

"It's hard to imagine that the company is just trying to draw us into the conflict between them and the Legion, and even if the key is in our hands, we won't have a chance to use it. And if they ask for a return, our managers will definitely pay them back. β€œ

There was a soft crackling sound from the campfire.

Sesame paste and meat looked at each other and whispered.

"I don't think so. He may just have no one to rely on, so he chose us as the only one he could trust. β€œ

She preferred that it wasn't that complicated.

Flesh, who was sitting next to him, also nodded his hairy head thoughtfully.

"I also think those people give me a pretty good feeling.

As for Teddy, he didn't understand what the owners were discussing, and just licked his paws blankly.

Siss did not refute the views of his teammates, and never took his eyes off the notebook in his hand from beginning to end.

"Emmm. maybe, I'm just making a hypothesis."

People are complex things, and there can be many kinds of motivations, but simple-minded people are relatively rare.

What's more, it's not certain whether that card is a key or not.

The only clue they had was that the Pioneer had found something terrible in the desert, and it was likely the legendary refuge that would end all suffering and restore an era of prosperity.

However, she still has doubts about it.

Not to doubt that they really found it.

Rather, it is doubtful that that kind of convenient thing really exists?

Even if it's in-game......

Looking at the notebook in Sisi's hand, Flesh asked curiously.

"What did you write in your notebook?"

She often saw Si Si writing something on it.

"Some gathered intelligence."

Including the guy who called himself the prince, the setting about the province of Luoxia, and the rumors I heard from the mercenaries and merchants... I'll sort it out in the post in a moment. β€œ

The news is definitely much more shocking than a few photos of an airship.

Maybe there's a chance to be included in the setting of the official website like those bigwigs who often write strategies.

"I admire the big guy who can write a guide, I can't even do a travel guide" Sesame Paste looked at Sisi with a beautiful face.

Rourou also nodded deeply and said with emotion.

"+1, I feel like the real-life Sis must be a very reliable type."

Somewhat embarrassed to be praised, Sisi coughed lightly and said.

"There is nothing at all, oh, in reality, I actually have enough trouble."

Sesame Paste looked at her in surprise.

"Huh? Are you sure? ”

Flesh also showed a surprised expression.

"Totally unimaginable!"

"It's normal, like Ah Wei, don't look at her not very smart in the game, but in reality

At this point, Scat paused.

Seeing her gradually subtle expression, she smelled the flesh of the gossip breath, and immediately asked curiously.

"Really?"

Sisi unconsciously looked away.

β€œemmm.. It's not very smart, but at least it's quiet.

Sesame Paste couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, while Flesh touched his head blankly.

She can imagine not being smart.

But the quiet look...

I can't imagine it at all.

Flipping through the pages of notes in his hand, Si Si pondered and continued.

"Actually, UU reads books, I personally feel that the image of the virtual world is not so much a projection of personality in reality, but more like the kind of person I want to be... Maybe it's because I'm not so reliable in reality, so I want to change my life in my second life. β€œ

"Well, when you say that, I feel like I'm a little bit there. In reality, I'm actually a little bit socially phobic, but in the game it's fine.

With a slightly shy smile on his face, the cat's ears on the top of his head swayed comfortably, and he sat on his knees under the tree, and hid his chin in the crook of his arm with some embarrassment.

Every time she talked about things in reality, she always felt embarrassed, so she quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, speaking of... What about the tail? Why haven't you come back yet? ”

"She's going to recover the VM dropped by the pilot, it should be soon

Closing the notebook in his hand, Sisi turned on the M screen, just about to take a look at how far Ah Wei was from here.

However, at this moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly crept into her heart.

It felt like being targeted by some dangerous beast.

Apparently she wasn't the only one who noticed.

The cat's ears, which had been gently shaking before, stood up, and sat on the opposite side of the campfire, his hands already clenched the P-9 submachine gun and the head of the game.

"I think I just heard somethingβ€”" she whispered, her pupils focused, scanning the dark forest.

Without the slightest hesitation, Sis reached out and fastened the iron pot to the campfire, quickly extinguishing the campfire.

At the same time, six projectiles bound by the magnetic force were already suspended in her hand, alerting the approaching killing intent.

"Be confident...

"Looks like it can be removed."
