Chapter 24: Sniping
Obviously, the rapid breakthrough of the black angel before made these soldiers who rushed to support vigilant, they played a little trick, so that the robots were scattered in all directions, forming a standard forward phalanx, but they were secretly hidden in it, and the power armor they used also had a certain stealth ability, although it was far inferior to Xiao Ming's fifth-generation photon armor, but in the dark forest, if you have the intention to hide, it is really not easy to find.
"Jelly, can you still stop these robots?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Yes, but it's too slow, and the number of stops at a time is limited, so it doesn't have much effect!" Jelly was rather depressed. The other party used advanced anti-jammers for all the combat robots, and the local tyrant was a mess.
"Then go straight on!" Xiao Ming said.
The crowd quickly greeted them.
Xiao Ming's search technique was launched, and the distribution of the other party was completely understood, and then projected to others through the "broadcast" of jelly, plus the original scanning system. The current situation is that these thirty enemies who think they are hiding well, all fall into the eyes of the Black Angels. And the black angel is still transparent in the eyes of these enemies.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
The gunfire of the energy weapon was very small, but at the same time, dozens of guns were firing together, and the movement was still not small.
The group of soldiers reacted immediately, and they all dodged and prepared to return fire, but before they could finish dodging, they didn't have to dodge.
In less than five seconds, all thirty people were killed by the black angels. As for the hundreds of robots, Skynet and direct line of sight failed, and without human guidance, these robots were all stupid there. After all, they are only eighth-generation robots, and their autonomy is not high. When encountering Xiao Ming and these guys with black technology, their abilities were greatly reduced.
But these bots aren't completely useless. At least they raised the alarm and informed the others of the situation here.
"The other party has an advanced stealth system, so be careful. Mobilize the nano swarm, get these guys out for me!" A man who was clearly a senior commander appeared.
There are ten guards around him, all of whom are of B rank, which shows that the status of this commander is not low. And his response was extremely effective. No matter how good Xiao Ming's stealth effect is. They still exist, and since this is the case, then there is a nano swarm, and it will definitely be able to be found.
Unfortunately, there is still a certain difference between the nano-machine group and the recognizer, the recognizer can find out all the existence, and the nano-machine group is searched by "touching". Crucially, the recognizer has a closed system that is not subject to interference, whereas the nanomachine swarm must use an open system. Its own non-disclosure agreement is fundamentally transparent to Jelly. From Xiao Ming, they can see that they can see through the artificial lake. The nano machine group is useless to Xiao Ming.
By the time the nano-swarm arrived, Jelly had already separated a large amount of primordial matter to cover everyone's body surface, and at the same time, everyone switched to the internal respiratory system of the photon armor.
"No enemy found!" More and more troops rushed over, and in less than five minutes, there were already more than 1,000 human troops and 20,000 robot troops surrounding the area. But they still didn't find the Black Angel's whereabouts.
Previously, Xiao Ming and the others used the electromagnetic storm transmitter to destroy the surrounding identifiers. Unless the other party comes up with a similar way of identification, it is impossible to find Xiao Ming and them.
"How is that possible? Is it that the other party has already run out of range?" said the commander dissatisfied.
"It's not clear. Judging by the situation that the other party is showing so far. They use quite advanced equipment, and even have mobile space equipment. It was impossible to carry the EMSTORM transmitter directly from before. And from the invasion of the other party to the present, we haven't even touched their shadows. It can be seen that their equipment is advanced!", said a technician-like warrior.
The commander of the "......" was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a commotion on the periphery.
"Enemy attack!" a scream rang out.
Countless gunshots followed. All the robots have already turned on the auxiliary attack mode, and they will automatically follow the direction of the human warrior's attack to selectively cover the firepower, only to see a group of people and thousands of robots attacking frantically in one direction. Countless trees were dusted, but none of the targets were to be seen.
"Calm me down and see what you look like!" the commander yelled.
But he was also very helpless in his heart, fear came from the unknown, if the enemy hit with a knife and a gun. No matter how powerful it is, there is always a goal, and the soldiers know what to do, but now the enemy is as invisible as a ghost, and even a counterattack cannot be successful, how can people not be nervous?
With the commander's order, the attack stopped for the time being, but all the battles were nervously looking around with guns raised, ready to attack at any moment.
At this moment, suddenly a warrior screamed, and the whole person fell backwards, his chest was pierced by a single shot, and even the protection of power armor did not work.
"The other party has a high-powered weapon, little ......" another fighter reminded loudly, but before he could finish his words, he was shot in the head.
You must know that the owner of this underground city is a local tyrant, so all the warriors here use the ninth generation armor that is higher than the mainstream seventh-generation armor, and its defense and auxiliary capabilities are all beyond the seventh-generation power armor, but even so, the power armor of those two warriors still can't protect them.
Forget about being shot in the head, no matter how well the power armor is done, the head is still one of the weak points, but the one that is pierced through the chest is different, it is the thickest protection in the power armor, how can ordinary weapons be so easy to shoot through?
Just one can prove that the previous technical officer said that the enemy has far more technological equipment than them.
"Everyone turn on the Photon Shield!" The commander had no choice but to order the Photon Shield to be activated.
With the photon shield, the defense is naturally increased several times, at least until the photon shield breaks, all attacks are ineffective, but the photon shield is a large energy consumer, and it cannot be opened all the time. In addition, the photon shield has a certain amount of interference in the scanning system, and if it is a starship or a base, it naturally doesn't matter, and a little influence is not a problem. After all, the scanning systems of the starship and the base are all for scanning large objects, so the power is high, and they are not afraid of that little impact.
However, the mobile scanning system is different, and in the case of Skynet interference, the mobile scanning system will be greatly reduced under the interference of the photon shield.
But now it's the case, even if the function is not reduced. The enemy cannot be found. If you can't find the enemy and can't fight back, it's better to open the photon shield and stay safe first.
Countless "light eggs" appeared in the dark forest.
This is also considered a weakness of the Photon Shield, which is that it will emit light. Fifty years ago, mankind carried out the photonic revolution and introduced photonic products, and today, fifty years later, we are just starting to work on ways to make photonic products not emit light -- most of the photonic products that do not emit light are experimental.
Only if the Black Angel's photon armor uses the black technology provided by Jelly will it not emit light.
Because it emits light, it is different from electromagnetic shields that are only visible when blocking attacks. You can see it after the photon shield is opened, and because most of the individual photon shields are egg-shaped, they are also called "egg shields" by everyone.
With the shield, everyone's mood was visibly relaxed. Even if the enemy has not been found, at least the small life is guaranteed.
But just as they were breathing a sigh of relief, suddenly a dozen people flew up violently.
In the midst of the crowd, a vague light and shadow could be faintly seen, punching the ground hard.
Rumble!
The ground felt as if it had been hit by a shell. Exploded directly, and all the people and robots around it were blown away.
"Attack!" the commander decided. Even his own people did not care and gave the order to open fire.
The human warrior may still hesitate, after all, there are their own people in that range, but the robot will not hesitate, and all the robots with an attack angle will fire immediately.
And then something shocked them. This time, the target did not disappear immediately, but continued to maintain its translucent form and stand in its original attack position. As the attack unfolds, he makes a resistance movement with both hands stretched forward.
All the attacks were inexplicably blocked from the figure, as if there was an invisible barrier between the figure and the attack. But that barrier is completely undetectable, and it is not even possible to analyze the form in which it exists.
All attacks vanished before the barrier was reached, regardless of the type of attack. It's all useless.
"It's too arrogant!" the commander glared at the faint light and shadow, and after being angry, he showed a smile: "Look for death!"
Rumble!
Just as the commander smiled, a blast rang out.
The human warriors and robots present are all using energy weapons, although there is a sound, but it is not loud, hundreds of human warriors and thousands of robots firing at the same time is just like a dozen people quarreling, but the explosion sound at this time is like a muffled thunder.
It's gunshots.
In fact, before the gunshots rang out, the light and shadow were hit, and it was right in the middle of the eyebrows, and the light and shadow tilted its head back, and took two or three steps back in a row, before finally standing on its legs, but its feet were already sunk into the dirt.
All the attacks stopped, and everyone wanted to see how it turned out.
"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't block the other party's attack!" Jelly was startled, although he knew that Xiao Ming was fine, he still blamed himself.
Just now she was using her new ability to block all energy attacks. This kind of shield is more advanced than the photon shield, called the "zero energy" shield, according to Jelly, if you go further, it is a zero maintenance shield, and then go further, it is the mainstream space shield of the Golden Empire in the later stage.
Zero Energy regulates almost any form of energy attack, and has very little energy that can attack it. Although it is somewhat weak in terms of physical defense, it is also three times stronger than the photon shield of the same power. So Jelly didn't expect the opponent to have a weapon that could penetrate the Zero Energy Shield.
In fact, the other side used a specially made sniper rifle, which can even be said to be a sniper gun.
It was a ten-meter-long, fist-thick special sniper rifle with a hybrid of energy and kinetic energy, using magnetic wave energy as thrust, and a special cemented carbide ammunition, whose hardness reached the standard of a large starship shell, and it was definitely a hard guy.
Such a shot hit the center of the eyebrows, even if you really can't shoot the head, the huge kinetic energy should tear off the opponent's head.
But in the midst of everyone's stunned, Xiao Ming's head was raised back to right, and then he tilted left and right, moving his muscles and bones.
"It hurts, but it's no problem!" Xiao Ming comforted Jelly in his heart.
In fact, the zero-energy shield is quite powerful, after absorbing all the magnetic wave energy on the sniper bullet, it has weakened most of the kinetic energy, although the cannonball can penetrate the zero-energy shield, but it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and Xiao Ming's spiritual sense is extremely strong, and he was alert before the other party shot, and set up an invisible flame and thunder shield in front of him. Once again, he weakened the attack, so he was finally hit in the middle of the eyebrow, but for him, it was just a hard punch.
It hurts a little, but it's not even qualified to hurt him. At most, it was a shock.
"The target has been discovered. Damn it. It's actually a sniper. It's okay, what are you doing with such waste?" Jelly spotted the sniper and was furious.
The ten-meter-long sniper gun is really useless on the battlefield, because unless the sniper is equipped with a space bracelet, there is no way to move quickly, and the whole weapon is too large and not conducive to hiding, and the chance of attack is almost zero.
In addition, this weapon is obviously a type of disconnect between practicality and power, that is, it looks powerful and domineering, but unless it is aimed at a specific target, it is just a look.
"Damn, is the other party specifically targeting me?" Jelly was going mad. The robot anti-jammer at the beginning, and the current sniper cannon, are almost all aimed at her abilities, as if the other party knew about her existence and specially prepared them.
"I'm going to kill that sniper!" Tifa quickly moved closer to the sniper.
"The other party is going to shoot again, Xiao Ming be careful!" shouted Ilty.
The sniper was obviously a smart man, he didn't achieve the effect of the first shot, and immediately prepared the second shot, and he knew very well that he would never have a chance to shoot the third, so he didn't have any hesitation or thinking at all, and immediately fired the second shot, as for what happened after the second shot, he didn't think about it at all.
Boom!|
Maybe they wanted to see what kind of existence their enemies were, or maybe they were frightened by the enemy who didn't kill them with such a powerful shot, but everyone didn't shoot anyway, just watched the result of the second shot in a daze. (To be continued......)
