Chapter 46: Containment

"As long as me?"

Du Jin was a little puzzled by McCas's sigh, he knew that the former owner of this body, as a member of the "Eden", must have had a lot of contact with McCas, who was the captain, but from McCas's words and tone, Du Jin's original consciousness seemed to have some secrets with McCass before it was replaced, and it was a secret about blood marks.

McCasse nodded, he dragged his right arm, which had long been inintuitive, to stand up from the alloy chair, and then pointed to the laser pistol on Du Jin's waist, and said in a flat tone:

"Can you please ask Dr. Du to lend me the pistol on your waist?"

Du Jin didn't worry that McCasse would do something unfavorable to him, not to mention that he had an obvious interest relationship with the captain before, even if Du Jin saved him now, McCasse couldn't do anything to "cross the river and tear down the bridge", so Du Jin quickly handed him the laser pistol on his waist, Du Jin still had some emotions about this "partner" who accompanied him to kill the first corpse mutant, so after Li Mengyan changed it to a more efficient electromagnetic rifle for him, he still kept it.

"Dr. Du doesn't need to, if I hadn't been saved by the other people on the ship, I wouldn't be alive today, Captain McCass, you just call me by my name."

McCasse nodded, then without warning, aimed the gun directly at his right shoulder, and fired several shots in quick succession.

"Z-z-z-"

The sound of high-temperature plasma penetrating flesh and bones sounded in Du Jin's ears, he actually knew what McCass was doing, when he received a large area of a limb penetrating a wound on the battlefield, it was often the best way to amputate the limb as soon as possible, but this kind of behavior Du Jin had only seen it in the professor's explanations and books, and he had never been on the battlefield where he had seen this kind of thing in person.

But those illusions of corpse mutations and blood marks made Du Jin's psychological receptivity significantly higher, so he was only slightly surprised for a while, and his face was much better.

McCas's infected and alienated arm immediately fell to the ground, and the normal flesh connected to it continued to gush blood, and he calmly tore a strip of cloth from the bottom of his captain's suit, and then wrapped it around the bleeding wound.

After doing all this, he raised his pale face and smiled at Du Jin, then sat back on the chair and said to Du Jin:

"Then I won't hide it, yesterday Du Jin secretly found me and said that you have discovered the deepest secret of the Unity Church: what really symbolizes the church is a rare black holy seal, but this holy seal only appears in some written descriptions, almost no one has seen it, those red blood marks are either defective, or artificially made, just a tool to spread death, and the beginning of all evils."

McCaston paused, then glanced at Ralph, who was glaring at the ground, and said with a slight self-deprecation on the corner of his mouth:

"But I thought what you said was a joke, so I didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the federal bureaucrats let us mine what you called the red blood seal, and now it's still in the mining unit of this ship, but I still arranged for you to do what you wanted, injected a black potion you gave me into your artery, and then you disappeared.

And Ralph, this bastard, seems to have gotten the news from, insisting on asking me to hand him your permission code, and saying that this is an order from the church, but what I hate the most is actually this kind of high-ranking "cult", and refused him without any hesitation, although Ralph is a medical officer arranged on the "Eden" by the Federation in order to ease the relationship with the Unity Church, but I don't have so many concerns, but this guy actually killed the original security director, and then lured me here.......... ”

Speaking of this, McCas stopped talking, after all, the rest of the process was not a glorious thing for him, and Du Jin looked at his hands, according to some clues in McCas's words, he seemed to have understood where the so-called power that could suppress the black blood mark in his body came from.

If you follow what you said before, the black blood mark should be something that is greater in rank and ability than the black blood mark, and even the two themselves are some kind of "superior-infiner" relationship.

"If the red blood mark that is now a mutilated product can create and eat such a large number of corpse variants. Then the ability of the black blood mark is probably even more terrifying, but this power is lodged in my body, I am afraid it is related to the black medicine injected into me in the previous operation, and there may even be fragments of black blood marks in it, but why am I in another time and space being chosen? ”

Du Jin only felt that he had more and more questions, originally he thought that as long as he understood the source of the power in his body, he could get rid of the hidden danger of blood marks, but now it seems that other problems are coming one after another.

"Woo-woo-woo-huh-"

Ralph on the ground also began to writhe violently at this time, although his mouth was stuffed with clothes, he still made some faint sounds, Du Jin walked up to him, Du Jin did not have a trace of pity for the person who almost killed himself. Even if Du Jin's personality is not very ruthless, he will not have any relaxation and sympathy for his enemies.

He picked up the electromagnetic rifle in his hand, pointed the muzzle at Ralph's head, then looked him in the eye and said in a threatening tone:

"I can make you speak, but if you dare to scream, you can try to see which of your strengthened bones or bullets is harder."

Although Ralph still stared at Du Jin with angry eyes, he nodded lightly before his life threatened.

"Good!"

Du Jin immediately took off the clothes in Ralph's mouth, and Ralph, whose voice was released, immediately shouted at Du Jin and asked:

"Why! Why do you know the secret of the Holy Seal, it has always been me who is better than you, and I deserve all the gifts from the church, why do you know so much, you are obviously a waste person who has not received the "advancement" of the church, how can you deserve such important information, you must be talking nonsense. ”

Du Jin looked at Ralph who was so emotional, and he had roughly understood his psychology in his heart, due to excessive faith and worship, Ralph had fallen into some kind of madness, he used various ways to solve his competitors, and wanted to get himself as close as possible to the "gods" he worshipped, and even needed to get that extraordinary power, this kind of person is actually some kind of poor person, who has been invaded by a cult and has invaded his thinking, and the trajectory of his life has long been out of direction, getting closer and closer to the dark abyss.

In Du Jin's view, the power of the blood seal comes from death, and the unity sect that worships the blood seal as a god will eventually make his life as a tribute and be devoured by death, which is why he insists on finding a way to remove the influence of the blood seal on himself.

What do you mean by "advanced"? Why don't I have a faculty member at my level? ”

Du Jin looked at Ralph and asked slowly, for this kind of person who longs for recognition, Du Jin knows very well how to put out the words that come out of his mouth, as long as he pretends to lower his posture and is in his self-pride, Ralph will tell useful information in a mocking way.

As Du Jin expected, Ralph first showed a mocking smile, and then responded to Du Jin in a raging tone:

"Hahaha, you are no longer worthy of being a member of the Unity Church, how can there be a gift from the Church, "Advancement" is the first step for any member of the Unity Church to step into a new humanity, we who have been gifted by the power of the Holy Seal, not only can we have far more power than mortals, but those corpse mutants created by the Holy Seal will not easily attack us, and it is precisely in this way that this federation will eventually be unified under the influence of the Holy Seal and become a truly complete world. ”

"Won't be attacked by corpse morphs?" The information revealed in Ralph's words shocked Du Jin, if according to him, he injected the fragments of black blood marks, let alone being attacked by corpse mutants, it stands to reason that it is not a problem to control these corpse variants, why would he still be regarded as an attack target.

"Could it be that the bloodstain fragment that gives me strength is some kind of being outside of this so-called Unity Church?"

Before Du Jin could figure it out, the door of the security director's office began to shake, just now Du Jin had already expected to block the door with the table, and the disciples outside noticed the abnormality after trying to push it a few times, and immediately shouted towards the room:

"Are you in there, Lord Bishop?"

Du Jin re-gagged Ralph's mouth with his clothes, and then picked up the gun and pointed it in the direction of the door, McCas was not slow because he had just amputated his arm, the high-temperature plasma stream emitted by the laser pistol, on the basis of cutting off his limbs, because his wound was sterilized and hemostasized, so McCasse did not lose his combat ability, for a laser pistol, a weapon with almost no recoil, it is not difficult to shoot with a single-handed gun.

"Guards! Knock open the door! ”

The disciples outside the door did not hesitate to call the security personnel without any hesitation after Ralph did not reply for a long time, listening to the constant sound of footsteps outside the door, Du Jin held the handle of the gun a little nervously, the exoskeleton armor defense kinetic weapon on his body was okay, but if there was a person outside with some kind of laser weapon, then he would definitely be killed on the spot.

And just when Du Jin was about to fight against the water, and he hijacked Ralph and left, the originally silent communication channel came from an intermittent but familiar voice:

"Du... Brocade, you are now.... Where..... Village? ”

The helmet, which was somewhat deformed by Ralph's strange inhuman power before, has obvious failures in some functions at this time, and the armor's original ability to survive in outer space for a short time is no longer expected, but as long as he relies on the communication unit that can still operate to get in touch with Li Mengyan, Du Jin is still sure to stick to the next time before reinforcements arrive.

And what made Du Jin feel extremely happy at this time was that Li Mengyan, who had been fierce and unlucky in his opinion, could already be sure to be alive at this time, and judging from the tone in which she asked where she was, she was not too seriously injured.

"Mengyan, I've now made it down the pit lane to the security center, Ralph is indeed here, and I've rescued Captain McCass who was trapped here."

Less than 300 meters away in a straight line, Manuka's team had followed Li Mengyan to the front of the maintenance tunnel, and the sonic device she had put down before had no sound, it was possible that it had been destroyed by some special infected body with a certain intelligence, or it was possible that a large number of corpse mutants were stacked together and crushed the siren.

But no matter what, its role has already been played, along the way, the team encountered a lot fewer corpse mutants, and there were no some extremely mutated corpse variants, which also allowed Li Mengyan to quickly rush here, and after she eagerly asked Du Jin's location, the intermittent response was also received by her armored communication unit.

"Mengyan, I'm now.... After having entered along the maintenance aisle.... security.... Center, Lahr .... The husband is indeed here, and I ........ Rescued to ....... The ...... who are trapped here Captain McCass. ”

Li Mengyan, who heard the news, was overjoyed at first, at least now she could be sure that Du Jin's life was not in danger, but she was familiar with the armor structure, and she could judge that Du Jin's helmet had been damaged to a certain extent from the intermittent degree of Du Jin's communication messages, and whether the armor on her body was still more damaged, she had no way to judge.

After all, the concept of fighting with a corpse variant, and the concept of fighting an armed man with a gun, the two are not the same level at all.

"My companions have saved Captain McCass, but they are likely to be in some kind of crisis right now, and we need to help them as soon as possible."

Manuka's face had been a little worried and heavy, but after hearing Li Mengyan's words, she obviously became happy, and the remaining teammates on the side also let out cheers that could be suppressed, a large part of the soldiers of their personal guard team were the children adopted by McCass in his early years, in their opinion, McCass was like a relative, and when they heard the news that he was safe, everyone was obviously in a much higher mood.

And what followed was the gratitude to the companions in Li Mengyan's mouth, the courage and kindness of saving Captain McCass alone made everyone present quite admired and grateful, they knew very well what the level of the three people who accompanied Captain McCasse to the medical deck before, and since the other party who hijacked could subdue the three people, it meant that the other party either had a numerical advantage, or the individual strength was extremely strong.

"Okay, we'll go to the back now!"

Manuka didn't waste much time and rushed straight into the gap that was his own width, and the rest of his teammates followed him into the pit lane one by one.

And on Du Jin's side, the defense has begun, a table can't stop the person wearing exoskeleton armor for too long, in this kind of street fighting in the room, Du Jin has also learned relevant knowledge in the military academy:

From the point of view of the bunker, if the interior is purely from the prevention of penetration:

The reason is that one of the principles of composite armor is to dissipate kinetic energy through multiple levels of different hardness, and the penetration force affects the final penetration result because the angle of penetration force in different hardness changes repeatedly.

Especially in the calculation of armor, less than 1km/s are suitable for rigid penetration (more than the general recommendation to consider fluid or semi-fluid), for this rigid penetration, composite armor protection is definitely better than a single material, and there is a category of composite armor called gap armor, so don't be afraid of not enough.

Therefore, as long as it is a cavity with a complex structure, which may be basically filled, it can be used as a cover, while the door panel, TV cabinet and other structures are single, and the low filling possibility is not recommended, and the back of most sofa chairs is also difficult to resist the penetration of bullets above the level of armed police with guns.

Therefore, like a film and television drama, the picture of kicking over a table to block machine gun fire obviously treats reality as child's play.

In terms of the distance of the battle, due to the large space on the street, it is easy for you to change direction or pull away the distance, as long as the distance is widened, then the hit rate will plummet, especially for pistol small calibers, after all, the warhead is light, and it is easy to be affected by the outside world and deviate.

However, it is basically within the effective range indoors, where the opponent points to hit, the hit and damage will be maximized, and the ricocheting will form indoors, and the ricochet is also easy to hit someone, and the ricochet can still cause considerable damage.

To obstacles, the street as an outdoor, there are a lot of metal and glass or plastic products, these seemingly thick bunkers are often very easy to penetrate, take the car as an example, only the engine and tires can effectively block bullets, in foreign external walls are often hollow bricks, rifle bullets can be easily penetrated, the wall may not be an insurance bunker, look for those cement blocks, or thick stone, such as load-bearing walls.

And indoors is more difficult, even if the large desk that Du Jin is hiding now is made of some kind of alloy, as long as the weapon in this world is not a rapid-fire kinetic energy weapon, as long as you pay attention to leaving the range of ricochet, there is still no problem, but under the suppression of science and technology in this world, kinetic energy weapons can be accelerated by electromagnetism, which is already a streamlined version of the Gauss rifle.

Such a weapon is powered by an electromagnetic acceleration trajectory, a type of rifle that fires metal ammunition, capable of firing metal spike bullets at supersonic speeds, this ammunition is inherently designed to tear through enemy armor, and the specifications of power and muzzle velocity can cause damage to heavy tanks.

Therefore, Du Jin's pressure at this time was not ordinarily large, and those disciples outside did not hesitate much, directly slammed open half of the alloy door and squeezed in through the gap, Du Jin immediately raised his gun and began to aim, but he was facing living people, not those corpse variants who were already dead, and this change made Du Jin's heart hesitate for a moment.

"Whew-"

Manuka didn't hesitate to shoot first, the cultist who wanted to squeeze in was basically wearing light armor, but when he was hit by the side of the helmet with a laser weapon, he immediately hung his head, and his body fell with it, stuck in the doorway, blocking the passage that the others wanted to enter.

"Du Jin, this kind of situation where either he finishes or you die, hesitation is not a good choice."

Looking at Du Jin's steady and somewhat trembling muzzle, McCas naturally understood and said, in his opinion, Du Jin's previous identity was just a scientific research worker, even if he might have been sent to some places to conduct outdoor research before, his safety was also taken care of by a special escort force.

Even if he has seen the moment of death with his own eyes, but the experience of killing other beings with his own hands is completely different concepts, Du Jin nodded, his heart also thought clearly about some problems at this time, at this moment he regarded those disciples as "puppets" who had not yet mutated, but had been controlled by the blood seal, and he was in order to free them.

With psychological positioning, Du Jin felt that the pressure in his heart suddenly decreased a lot, he put the butt of the gun against his chest, and roughly estimated the position of those who were moving the body of the disciple just now, and he did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and the bullet accelerated by the electromagnetic acceleration instantly pierced the alloy door panel.

"Knock--"

The sound of some kind of object falling to the ground outside the door was obviously hit by Du Jin, and after firing a few shots in a row again, there was a lot less movement outside the door.

"Did they leave?"

As soon as this idea popped into Du Jin's mind, a round sphere was thrown in from the outside, and McCasse immediately recognized that it was a plasma grenade specialized in biology, and he immediately jumped to the place where Du Jin was hiding, ignoring the wound that had begun to ooze blood again because it hit the ground, and roared urgently:

"Get down! Fast! ”

Then a shock wave came through the alloy desk in front of him, but when this impact came to Du Jin, he found that this was not the kind of lethal shock wave of the traditional shock bomb, but a large-scale electromagnetic field, the panel in front of Du Jin's eyes immediately fluctuated violently, and the vision provided by the helmet became abnormally disordered, and McCass next to him fell directly to the ground and began to convulse, obviously temporarily unconscious.

"Not good! I'm afraid they're going to take us alive! ”

Du Jin stepped on their thoughts through this non-lethal range attack, and he struggled to get up, but Du Jin tragically found that it was not only the helmet part of the armor that was in trouble, but also the joints of the armor of his limbs that were obviously jammed, and the armor that was originally like nothing was unusually heavy at this time, Du Jin could only barely reach out and grab the edge of the alloy desk, supporting it with all his strength to stand up.

"Armored power..... Disturbed ...... Please make ........ Dimension...... Replace ......"
