Chapter 157: Zombie Siege (9)
The armored vehicles laden with supplies and munitions drove smoothly and firmly on the slightly crowded muddy ground, the same scenery of shacks on both sides of the road moved slowly as the vehicles advanced, the restless roar of the engines resounded through the silent night sky, the rolling forward tracks rolled up clumps of mud and scattered in all directions, and the tracks of two tracks deep in the mud continued to extend as the vehicles advanced.
If a multi-wheeled truck loaded with supplies had driven into such an environment, the tires would have been stuck in the mud and difficult to extricate themselves, but the designers of this armored car obviously designed the tires of this vehicle to be multi-wheeled and tracked in order to overcome a variety of terrain obstacles, so that it would not be difficult to move forward even if it was driven in a snowy mud or desert environment.
However, this road is still too narrow, although the main road is relatively wide for pedestrians, enough for six or seven people to pass side by side, but for this huge armored tracked vehicle, it is only enough for it to squeeze on this road, almost grazing the shacks on both sides of the road, let alone turning around, even right-angle turns may seem a little difficult.
The white scratches on the armor on both sides of the car were obviously the marks left by the scratches when the vehicle turned.
In the warm carriage, Lao Fan controlled the steering wheel and drove the car, while Lu Changgeng's eyes stayed on the control panel.
The control panel is displaying several on-board monitoring screens divided into squares, respectively, playing the pictures taken from all angles of the armored car, the roof, the side of the car, the front of the car, the rear of the car and even the complete placement of on-board monitoring, truly no dead angle distribution, the changes in the surrounding environment are presented in great detail in front of Lu Changgeng's eyes.
The traces of the battle are everywhere, flashbangs, shock bombs, and bullet casings trapped in the mud, it seems that after separating from us, he has used up almost all his ammunition to deal with the enemies chasing him, but from the disorganized footprints, it can be seen that there are too many enemies chasing him He stared at the control screen and analyzed it with his brows tightly locked, trying to restore the situation with the clues he found, and then his eyes suddenly widened as if he had found something, and then he quickly patted his companion next to him and shouted, Old Fan, Stop the car! Stop the car!
The slowly advancing vehicle quickly stopped under the control of Lao Fan, and then Lu Changgeng directly opened the door and squatted next to the mud in front of the car.
What's going on? Lao Fan also climbed down from the armored car at this time, did he find anything? It's not a good idea to stop here, if the infected who have been chasing us take advantage of this time to catch up and launch a sneak attack, I'm afraid we won't have time to move.
Lian Zhen may have been arrested, but who knew that Lu Changgeng's words were shocking, and directly startled Lao Fan: What? Are you sure?
I'm not too sure, it's just that he finally chose to fight in this square where there are no shacks, which means that he may have been cornered He frowned and his expression looked a little hesitant, but he still raised his hand and pointed ahead, and you look at these footprints.
Lao Fan looked in the direction of his finger and found that it was a mess of footprints, the muddy ground was white under the illumination of the headlights, but the brightness of the strong light also allowed them to discover more things, and many details that were easy to ignore because of the darkness of the environment became clearer under the strong light.
Subtle.
Traces of towing are hidden underneath. Lu Changgeng added.
Lao Fan looked carefully, and sure enough, he found that there were traces of dragging heavy objects under those footprints, and if it weren't for the strong lighting provided by the headlights, this detail might be easy to be overlooked.
But that doesn't mean anything, he muttered, but as he said that, he noticed that something seemed to be glowing from the mud.
No, that's not glowing.
It's something that's reflecting!
He reacted immediately, and Lu Changgeng seemed to have discovered the reflective point in the mud at the same time, and the two stretched out their hands to the mud almost at the same time, Lu Changgeng reached out and gently wiped the mud on the surface, revealing the screen with a slight scratch under the mud, and Lao Fan pulled the thing out of the mud in one go.
Then both fell silent.
That's the liaison device.
Needless to say, it must have been killed.
After all, I'm afraid that the communication device equipped by the agency will be searched all over Night City, and the fourth one will never be found, and this contact device is the latest model equipped specifically for this operation.
The palm-sized screen of the contact device was already covered with scratches left by the friction of mud and sand, and the screen was also shattered, revealing cobweb-like cracks, and I don't know if it was broken by falling to the ground or being stepped on like this, Lao Fan took it in his hand and tinkered with it a few times, and the broken screen lit up again, revealing their familiar operation interface.
The battery is running out, so it must have fallen to the ground while fleeing, right? Lao Fan checked it and found that there was nothing unusual, so he threw the contact device over, tsk, there was a boot lock
With Lian Zhen's character, he would not drop such an important thing here, and if he counted the rational effect brought by mental pollution, it would be impossible for him to drop something here because of panic Lu Changgeng had a gloomy expression and caught the contact device full of scratches and cracks, and he unlocked it with a familiar way, and was just about to see what the other party left in the device, but as soon as his finger was on the contact device, he saw that there was an AuoRun file that was automatically unfolded and ran with the unlocking, and then the entire screen went black.
Chang Gung, by the time you read this message, you must have already turned back to the city from outside the city, right?
A steady, mechanical, and emotion-free voice slowly emanated from the liaison device.
It also means that I didn't get out of trouble in time, so you will go back to the city to find the contact device I left behind, read this message.
If you are coming back with the mentality of saving me, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible, you are late, leave the city immediately, do not turn back and go as far as possible, and you can't save me, and I don't need you to rescue me
Hearing this, Lao Fan's brows tightened and he opened his mouth to say something, but Lu Changgeng immediately made a gesture to silence him, and quietly listened to what message the other party left.
This is the conclusion I have come to after rational thinking
What are you farting again Hearing this, Lao Fan had already scolded very unhappily, but Lu Changgeng sighed as if he wanted to understand everything: he said this on purpose at that time
What do you mean? Lao Fan asked.
He had long realized that we couldn't have escaped with two wounded. Lu changgeng's eyebrows are only entangled together, and mental pollution will make his thinking mode more and more rational when i insisted on saving them he was already weighing and thinking about how to get out of trouble and finally came to the conclusion that
Sacrifice one, save four.
As if to catch up with Lu Changgeng's words, a steady voice came from the contact device.
In that state, if you want everyone to escape from here together, in the end, it can only be that everyone will be caught up by the army of the infected, and there is no way to survive if you run together, so someone must make sacrifices.
Chang Gung has a mission to be the core of this night hemisphere exploration, and he is also a person who must not be sacrificed.
Listening to the voice coming from the contact device, Lu Changgeng looked a little lonely.
And Lao Fan is the only one of the three who has first-aid knowledge and knows how to treat and save people, once he returns to the car, he can rely on the materials and equipment left in the car to treat the wounded urgently, so he can't be sacrificed and abandoned.
Lao Fan's expression also became subtle, a little surprised, a little suspicious, a little incomprehensible, but more ashamed.
He still remembered that he felt that Lian Zhen could not be trusted, and he might even be sacrificed as a pawn at any time, so he took the initiative to break away and leave the other party here, but he didn't expect the other party to think even deeper than him, and he didn't even think about sacrificing him at the beginning, which couldn't help but make him feel a little at a loss.
In this way, the answer is very simple, the person who needs to be sacrificed is me, and it can only be me.
Lian Zhen's voice was still so smooth that it didn't feel like he was about to send himself to death.
I'll do my best to help you hold back as many infected people as possible, so when you come back and find this thing, I'm sure I'm dead and there's no scum left, and even if I don't die, I'm sure I'll become infected, and you won't find me in the endless crowd
That's why I let you not
The reason why you want to come and save me
The recording of Lian Zhen has come to an end
Oh yes, I've left you some stuff to bring back.
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen, which had been black, lit up, and a dim picture of the scenery shaking began to play on it.
At the beginning of the first test, infected subjects were attracted to loud noises or active damage, but they had no resistance to stun grenades, and appeared to be able to create explosions and other movements to attract them
Since the seventh test, they have been very tacit in their cooperation, and all actions are as if they have been discussed in advance, even if there is an emergency, it is difficult for them to mess up
At the beginning of the fourteenth test, there was no doubt that these guys were capable of learning, and that they were learning much faster than the average person
At the beginning of the twenty-third test, they were indeed controlled by some great will, and I have confirmed that
One test video after another was playing, and Lian Zhen was obviously very serious, listing the particularities of the infected person in each test, and recording his first-person test records throughout the process.
The thirty-second test begins
Only this time, Lian Zhen didn't say a word more.
Lu Changgeng seemed to feel something, he carefully identified the background on the picture, and found that the shooting location seemed to be here, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and then he saw the infected people rushing from all directions like a tidal wave, and Lian Zhen just made some unremarkable resistance, and was pounced on by the infected people who followed one after another and finally drowned in the 'tide'.
At the end of the video.
He heard the other party speak into the microphone in a faint voice, and said the last message.
Be careful inside your body and control your escape
Then, the video came to an abrupt halt.
Lao Fan and Lu Changgeng also fell into a long silence, who didn't speak first.
Woo &ash;&ash; wow &ash;&ash;
A long howl accompanied by the sound of dense running was coming from the distant block, and Lao Fan's face immediately changed: Not good! Those guys are catching up! Fast! Hurry up and get in the car!
Lu Changgeng also reacted immediately and climbed into the car, and as the door closed tightly, the infected people who came from a distance also showed their figures at the end of the street.
Only this time the infected person is clearly behaving strangely.
After the surveillance footage was continuously enlarged, their eyes were red, their expressions were hideous and angry, and their foreheads were bruised, as if their hearts were burning with endless anger, and they launched a fearless charge towards the armored vehicle blocking the middle of the road.
Sit tight. Lao Fan panicked and started the engine of the tracked car and slammed on the accelerator.
Is it a burst of horsepower from a tracked car, or is there more power from an endless crowd of people?
I think anyone with a little common sense can see that once the tracks of this armored car roll forward, the flesh and blood of the infected will inevitably be crushed by steel and turned into a pile of minced meat mixed with mud, but they are fearless, like a tidal wave being pushed, and slap the 'reef'!
But they are driven by anger and have no common sense and the ability to think normally, they are not afraid of this behemoth, and they don't even care that they may be crushed into minced meat, and they bump into it without dodging or dodging!
Then, something strange happened.
There was no spouting of flesh and no splattering of minced flesh.
The crowd hit the tracked car with the throttle full!
Rumble!
Lu Changgeng felt that the whole car shook, and the tracked car slammed into the crowd of infected people, but it seemed to hit the solid wall, and it was difficult to move an inch.
What's going on! Faced with this strange situation, he couldn't help but raise his voice.
I don't know! Hell, how did this guy change
It's got to be as hard as a wall! Lao Fan was also at a loss, but no matter how he stepped on the accelerator and how the engine roared, it was always difficult for the armored car to move forward.
The frenzy was pervasive, and everyone became elusive madmen, with rudimentary sticks in their hands, but they could knock out terrible pits in the armor with the ping-pong bang, and some of them shook the carriage, and some jumped on the roof of the car and danced in ecstasy.
In the end, all the cheers converged into one sound.
aaaagh!
However, in the medical room inside the armored car, lying on the hospital bed, the incarnation of the thought stream in a deep coma, his fingers twitched slightly.
Soon after, calm returned.
The acrid clouds of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the continuous sound of gunfire echoed in the empty alloy tunnel for a long time, and many strange shadows were projected onto the walls with the tongues of fire that continued to erupt from the muzzles, looking strange and distorted in the flickering firelight.
Sandbags, quick-drying concrete, and steel fortifications split the alloy passage into sections, but the rush to complete them was such that they were merely rudimentary with a wall to keep the enemy out and some shooting holes.
But this rudimentary protection will not shake the soldiers' will to fight at all.
Soldiers who were fully equipped and loaded with ammunition were indifferently pulling the triggers of machine guns and heavy machine guns at the firing point, and the bullets, shells, and rockets formed a dense network of fire, which, together with the fortifications blocking the area, completely blocked the passage to the outside world.
The vast quantities of munitions, ammunition, weapons, the cement and steel needed for the fortifications, the clothing and armor of the soldiers, and the daily overload of Night City's production capacity were ultimately prepared for this eventual crisis.
The soldiers guarding here all look different, but they give people the feeling of being a thousand people, the same indifferent expressions, the same indifferent manners, the same neat and tacit actions, giving people the impression that they are not independent individuals, but have a whole behind them.
And they have only one enemy.
The streamlined body of the insect is covered with external armor that protects the joints and vital organs, the graceful curved body protrudes with hideous bone spurs, two forelimbs as sharp as a sickle extend from the shoulders, and from the abdomen, two four-knuckle limbs are tightly covering the vital points of the chest and abdomen, and the elytra spread out on the back vibrate and make a loud vibration sound.
In the face of the torrential bullets, he did not dodge in the slightest, because the oncoming rain of bullets could not even touch his hard carapace, and he would fall to the ground without being able to do so.
The force field around him absorbs kinetic energy, neutralizing weapons that rely on kinetic energy to propel and inflict damage, but ineffective weapons that produce purely chemical and physical reactions.
Whoosh & ash;&ash;
The rockets landed in front of the insect monster with a long tail of flame, and the flamestorm that rose from the ground consumed him in the blink of an eye.
hisss &ash;&ash;
He let out an angry roar, his slow pace on his feet turning into a brisk walk and then a run, and by the time everyone came to their senses, he had broken through the storm of flames and turned into a black shadow and crashed head-on into the defenses!
Swish!
Several staggered flashes of shiny arcs flashed.
The huge scythe claws extending from the shoulders slashed through, and the steel and concrete fortifications were cut open like tofu, turning into large chunks of ruins and debris and falling to the ground, and the soldiers hiding behind them were naturally not spared, and the cut was flat like cracked building blocks falling to the ground.
His breakthrough caused the entire position to be in the slightest confusion, but it quickly returned to normal, and the soldiers raised their guns, threw grenades and began to fight back in an orderly manner.
But the two giant claws as sharp as scythes of the insect monster showed an agility that did not match the volume at all, and I saw several arcs flashing, the grenade that was cut in half by the arc light fell to the ground, the barrel of the gun was cut off, and even the rocket was accurately cut off and the tail smashed into the crowd to cause a secondary explosion
Explode.
And then in the midst of the chaos
This guy pulled out a well-made gun out of nowhere!
The knuckles that clutched his chest and abdomen were unfolded, and his hands held a spear tightly, which was white all over but covered with many red lines like blood vessels, and the process of expansion and contraction was repeated like a biological pulsation.
Whether judging from the sci-fi shape, or from the seamless appearance of the clothes without the slightest traces of stitching, or the obvious half-biological and half-mechanical texture, anyone can tell at a glance that this is a firearm with extremely high-tech content.
And the power is definitely terrifying.
Boom!
The gun fired.
A large lump of maggots erupted from the launch chamber under the force of the launch gut and slammed into a soldier who was lifting a bazooka.
The dark green poison and corrosive slime suddenly erupted, and the unlucky egg hit by the maggots turned into a mass of molten meat slimes in the scream, and the bazooka in his hand also fell to the ground and was accidentally triggered, triggering a more violent explosion, and the corrosive liquid and poison that were scattered in all directions splashed out like raindrops, and in an instant, the entire passage turned into a hell on earth.
Whether it is a living person or a dead thing, as long as it is stained with a little of those dark green liquids, it will produce strange and terrifying changes, the living will turn into a puddle of rotten flesh and pus and blood that is constantly festering, and the dead things will be corrosively eroded into one gap after another, except for the floor and walls made of unknown alloys, the human body, steel, and cement cannot resist this corrosiveness, and the entire defense line will be destroyed in an instant.
Just one shot, a few knives, inflicted heavy casualties on the entire line of defense, plunging it into complete chaos.
The first line of defense has been destroyed! Withdraw to the second line of defense!
Orders from afar gradually spread into the minds of the soldiers, and then groups of soldiers took the initiative to rush towards the insect monster in order to cover their companions, this time they did not choose to shoot rashly, but more intelligently dispersed and headed towards the insect monster!
Ten meters!
You have entered the maximum boundary of the opponent's neutralized bullet!
The first soldiers stopped and opened fire.
Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da!
Tongues of fire erupted, bullets rained down like money, and bullets were discharged at hundreds of meters per second across the sky, but soon the kinetic energy was attenuated to an incredible level, and the first salvo of bullets finally only bounced on the sturdy carapace of the insect monster, and not even a white mark remained.
But there is an effect!
The bullet no longer landed on the ground without touching him as before!
The chairman of the remote control on the other side of the battlefield looked at all this coldly, and then saw the insect monster raise the gun in his hand and fire three more shots in a row.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fat maggots catapulted out and crashed into the ceiling of an unknown alloy, turning into dark green raindrops.
The soldiers were reduced to lumps of molten flesh in the dark green raindrops.
Then the second group of soldiers immediately came up, and after the dark green rain fell, they rushed up like death squads, this time they rushed closer, they lit the explosives on their bodies and pounced on the insects from all directions!
Since the shooting doesn't work, let's see if the close explosion can do damage!
