,
With a body of nearly 500 meters, it is almost equivalent to two Hindenburg airships. And the longest aircraft carrier in the world is just a little brother in front of this guy.
- One 400mm short-barreled mortar, 12 100mm secondary guns, and 144 20~30mm anti-aircraft guns, which together constitute its firepower system.
The gun barrel decorates its huge body like a hedgehog. No matter if you attack it from any angle, you will be protected by at least 20 anti-aircraft guns.
In addition, there are the 7mm caliber machine guns hidden behind the shooting holes, and the cabin that is suspected to accommodate carrier-based aircraft.
airship
This thing is like a flying in the sky
Chu Guang had no doubt that not only was it stocked with a large amount of ammunition and supplies, it must also be equipped with a sufficient number of soldiers and crew.
Otherwise, what is such a large volume used for?
You have to decorate it with something.
Looking at the photos that players exchanged their lives for, Chu Guang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He was wondering if it was possible to defeat such an unreasonable monster in Boulder City.
The peaceful option can basically be ruled out... Fang preemptively knocked down our communication equipment, sent ground troops to attack our players, and opened fire to shoot down our aircraft as soon as it entered range.
Their response was quick and decisive, and 80% of them had prepared corresponding invasion plans.
Chu Guang, who was staring at the computer screen, unconsciously tightened his eyebrows, a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes, and said to himself.
It’s not easy to deal with….
It would be better to say that there is no chance of winning. With the alliance's current equipment, it is more than enough to destroy a predator force, but it really has to fight against the forces that have existed in the wasteland for a long time.
It is true that players can be resurrected, but manpower is only a part of war after all. Without sufficient weapons, ammunition and supplies, no matter how much manpower is used, it will be in vain.
People can hide in shelters, but the assembly lines that produce weapons cannot, and factories, farmland, and mines cannot be moved.
Chu Guang would never forget how many casualties his players had to pay to kill a considerable number of predators by relying on Boss Xia's hand-made iron pipe rifle.
Therefore, no matter what, he couldn't let that guy fly to the top of Dawn City.
Staring intently at Chu Guang's face, Xiao Qi sat at the table and remained silent. It seemed that Ping was hesitating about something, and he hesitated to speak.
Owner….
Chu Guang, who was thinking about how to break the situation, replied casually.
What's wrong
It always feels like it has more gun barrels than the aircraft in your hangar!
Chu Guang's eyebrows twitched.
...I know it without you reminding me."
Hmm... Xiaoqi doesn't want to ridicule you, but as your assistant, I must remind you when you hit a dead end. If it doesn't work... we can actually hide in the shelter. The manager system does not
It stipulates that you must complete a certain task within a certain deadline, right?
Xiaoqi's voice was very soft.
And it was rare that it did not use the strange voice package downloaded from the network of another world, but the electronic sound without waves when they first met.
However, what Chu Guang didn't expect was that in theory, the voice that should be free of any emotion made him hear a hint of unusual emotion.
It's not so much a suggestion. It's more like a plea.
Passionate, but precisely because of this, he felt a little confused.
He never put himself in danger and never abandoned the wastebasket, but it always seemed insecure.
but.
Chu Guang still doesn't want to consider the last trump card
It's easy to close that door,
However, there were already too many things outside the door that he couldn't let go of.
We will not lose. But..."
The analysis of paper data does not mean the final result. We have many cards in hand, and it is far from time to consider giving up."
Looking at Xiao Qi who still wanted to say something, Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and gently rubbed the top of its head. His confident smile dispelled the seriousness between his eyebrows. Believe me, Xiao Ran didn't persuade her anymore.
After five or six minutes, it whispered, "So... what are you going to do?"
It’s not easy to win this war alone. We don’t even know how many cards we have. The top priority is to find out how strong the airship’s anti-aircraft firepower is and what their weaknesses are, and then
Only in order to think...policy.
Chu Guang thought for a while and continued. In addition, we must do everything possible to tie our neighbors to our chariots.
····
Ruigu City.
The majestic Heart of Steel slowly dropped in height, and the shadow cast from the sky was like a curtain, covering almost half of the city and the woods on the edge of the city.
It hovered at a low altitude of about five to six hundred meters, and then four thick and long anchor chains were thrown from the airship, hitting the ground below the airship like cannonballs.
The anchor chain has been dropped.
After it came to a complete stop, the lifting platform suspended by chains was lowered from the belly of the airship.
Soldiers in black cloaks walked down the platform in neat formation.
They are well-trained, have sharp eyes, and are well-equipped. Whether in terms of momentum or combat quality, they are far beyond the legion's regular clone troops, and they can be seen at a glance.
The iconic black robes and the compact Warrior assault rifle in their hands both demonstrate their noble status--
They belong to the Legion Air Marine Corps. Steel conquers the sky and they, conquer the ground.
We need to establish an outpost on the surface before dark! If you don't want to sleep in the woods, you have to move quickly!
Standing at the front of the team, a man wearing a black exoskeleton shouted loudly, urging his soldiers to unload the supplies on the elevator.
His name is Rachel, his military rank is Captain, and he is responsible for the construction of surface camps, as well as... the search and patrol of nearby areas.
The logistics personnel followed the second batch of supplies to the surface and quickly started building the camp.
In addition to shovels, shovels and other tools, they also deployed two small excavators to the ground to carry out earthwork construction.
At the same time, two light tracked armored vehicles were also deployed.
The 20mm quadruple anti-aircraft guns carried on the tracked vehicle can not only supplement the anti-aircraft firepower, but also provide medium-range support firepower for the infantry.
Not only to intimidate nearby wastelanders, but also to... deal with dangerous alien species. Damn, I can finally get off the airship and have some fun... Walking next to Rachel, the man in black military uniform was in a good mood.
He squinted his eyes.
He is the logistics officer of the Heart of Steel Air Corps, his name is Finold, he graduated from the same military academy as Rachel, and by chance, he entered the same airship.
It's just that one went to logistics and the other went to the Air Corps.
By the way, why did you put down the excavator?
We have to stay here for at least three days. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. Although a group of barbarians has nothing to be afraid of, there is nothing wrong with being fully prepared... This is the exact words the staff told me. Let us follow the three
It's standard construction for grade 1 fortifications, so be careful.
I will.
Rachel lit a cigarette and squinted at the construction workers working at the camp, but her mind drifted back to the distant desert.
It is no exaggeration to say that life there is simply paradise.
Not only are there an unlimited supply of fresh and delicious fruits, but there are also girls with hot figures. Even the king's life is not as happy as theirs.
And here, in addition to the humid air and poisonous plants, there are also dangerous alien species and fox-like wastelanders...
At this time, an officer from the staff followed the elevator down to the surface.
Walking straight to Rachel, he spoke bluntly.
Why hasn't there been any news about Herrick?
Rachel shrugged.
I don’t know, we have already launched the flare, so logically he should be back...unless something unexpected happens.
He was inclined to this speculation. There was no reason.
It was purely a soldier's intuition. The officer frowned and said firmly. We must find him. Rachel asked.
Can you determine his general location? The officer looked through the documents in his hand.
At that time, he was entering Valley Province from Luoxia Province and was tracking a caravan.
Caravan
The caravan has a target we want to capture. Well, the caravan... Let me think about it, the caravan cannot do without water. Whether it is a camel or a two-headed creature, it must be full of water7 before it can go on the road.
Rachel thought for a moment, looked back behind her, and her eyes stopped on a man with a stern expression.
Vito, take a few brothers to the nearby survivor settlement and inquire about it.
This guy is his most elite scout, good at using sniper rifles and traps, and his mind and eyes make him impeccable.
Although...he was absolutely reassured, Rachel still gave an extra warning.
Remember, once you discover something, report it to me immediately.
After performing a military salute expressionlessly, the man named Vito quickly led his team and set off towards the south.
The staff officer looked at Rachel,
How long will it take for you to give me news?
Not sure, but whether there is any news or not, I will contact you before evening.
The officer nodded, said nothing more, turned around and returned to the elevator, as if he didn't want to stay on the surface for a moment longer.
Rachel didn't understand these people very well, but he really liked the feeling of his feet on the ground.
At this time, Finold, who was standing next to him, suddenly said
Do you think that Herrick might be someone from the company?
Rachel narrowed her eyes.
It's hard to say, but I hope I can finish the fight and go back soon.
I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to understand.
Finold looked around and spoke in a lower voice.
Our captain seems not to be satisfied with the credit of intercepting Enterprise reinforcements... I heard that he plans to conquer the River Valley Province.
The cigarette butt fell to the ground unconsciously, and Rachel opened her mouth wide in surprise.
This plan is indeed a bit whimsical. It's not that he doubts the capabilities of the Heart of Steel and General McClun, but he just doesn't understand the significance of doing so.
This place is thousands of miles away from the legion's territory. Looking at his surprised expression, Finold whispered.
I'm also surprised, but this is the captain's decision. You'd better give up the idea of leaving here in a short time... Also, don't tell others, let alone tell others that I told you. Rachel is determined.
Stay calm. I will keep my mouth shut.
The cigarette butt that fell on the ground had been extinguished. Rachel glanced at it with some pity, raised her foot and stamped it out.
Thinking of the tasks assigned by his staff, he was about to take a few people around the camp, but at this moment, an air raid siren suddenly sounded in the air.
The piercing whistle surprised everyone.
There was also a hint of surprise on Rachel's face, but now was obviously not the time to hesitate.
Even if he didn't think anyone could... pose a threat to the Heart of Steel, he still fulfilled his duties and shouted orders to his subordinates.
Air strike! Find cover! Quick!
The soldiers and construction workers in the camp quickly ran away and lay down behind the bunker.
The dense sound of artillery came from overhead, and Rachel could tell that it was the salvo of the 100mm secondary gun.
Crouching behind the unfinished explosion-proof shelter, he took out his telescope and glanced at the sky in the distance. Through the gaps in the treetops, he could vaguely see;
Under the clear sky, orange-yellow firelights were lined up in a row, and the thick smoke from the explosion formed an airtight wall.
However, there were still five black-smoking aircraft that broke through the fire net of the first salvo with their superb flying skills.
However, their fate was doomed. Fang seemed to realize this, so he simply gave up the meaningless dodge, rushed straight towards the airship, and before the second round of anti-aircraft fire arrived, he launched the missile mounted on the wing
All the rockets were empty.
The plane was blown to pieces without any suspense, but the dozens of rockets dragged their slender tail flames towards the airship.
Rachel had a strange feeling. She always felt that the rockets launched by the planes looked more like something than the planes themselves.
However, it's just a little bit.
In front of the Heart of Steel, an attack of this magnitude was as ridiculous as a toothpick piercing an elephant.
Completely ignoring the dozens of rockets, after destroying the remaining five aircraft, the airship stopped firing and allowed the rockets to bombard it.
However, the moment they approached within 20~50m, they seemed to have hit an invisible wall of air.
Most of them were deflected, and a few were killed on the spot.
The flying debris did not damage the airship at all,
The steel fortress in the sky remained motionless, with only a faint layer of smoke slowly drifting toward the airship, but it was quickly blown away by the airflow.
The eyes of the player hanging on the parachute were filled with astonishment.
The latest airborne rocket developed by Goblin Technology actually did no damage at all.
Was that thing just a shield?
Although the explosive was deflected and the fragments failed to cause damage, the thick smoke from the rocket explosion blew onto the airship.
Blood oozed from his abdomen, and although he suffered an almost fatal wound, it did not stop him from thinking.
Does this mean that only low-speed objects can approach?
Looking at... the anti-aircraft gun that was aimed at him but did not fire, the player thought for a moment, took off his vm and a headset with a camera function and tied it to his parachute.
Then he pulled out his dagger, decisively cut the parachute rope, let the air flow carry away the parachute, and he fell freely towards the forest.
vm can always be found by other players.
Before taking off, they never thought about going back.
Anyway, I probably wouldn't be able to survive like this. It would be even more doomed if I was thrown into jail after being raped, so it was better to patch myself up and get another shot quickly.
On the other side, in the unbuilt camp below the airship, there were cheers and whistles of victory.
Rachel also stood up from behind the explosion-proof bunker, put away the binoculars, and dusted off the dust on the exoskeleton breastplate.
At this time, a voice came from the helmet's earpiece. What were the casualties in the camp? The communication was from the airship's staff. There were no casualties... What happened just now? Rachel answered firmly without even counting the number of people.
, after all, he knew his subordinates very well; he would not be killed by a little bit of falling dust.
Astonishment appeared in Rachel's eyes.
They are just a group of grasshoppers that have just learned to fly, don't worry about it... I'll give you a task. We found that a parachute fell in the southern forest. You send someone to retrieve it. The officer of the staff said in an instructive tone.
The pilot seemed to have committed suicide, Rachel reminded.
Although he couldn't see clearly, he did see the pilot cut the parachute rope.
The officer continued.
I know, but he put something on his parachute before he died, and we need to find out what it was.
Rachel sighed and said impatiently... I will find it.
Katyn Station.
-Beside the messy camp, herdsmen knelt on the ground to pray, and some people were disposing of the corpses on the ground. The village chief of Mudeka had a faded pipe in his mouth, smoking it one after another.
The ravaged face was filled with sadness.
The merchants who smelled the danger packed their luggage and prepared to leave this place of right and wrong. They were in a hurry as if they were fleeing.
The mercenaries who had not yet decided where to go gathered together and discussed in a hurry.
Why did the Legion get here?
I don't know... I always thought they were fighting in the north.
Well, where did the bone-chewing tribe come from?
These swarms of cockroaches crawling all over the floor... nothing good will happen where they are.
Tails fiddled with the VM in his hand, trying to translate some valuable clues from the topics these people were talking about, but unfortunately he didn't hear any nutritious information. At this time, Sisi walked back to Mi from the direction of the well, "
Ah Wei, get ready to hit the road. She is carrying a water bottle in each of her left and right hands, and there is also a... hanging on her shoulders. The exaggerated size of the load is in sharp contrast to her figure.
However, she had an indifferent expression as she hung the several-kilogram kettle on the truck.
This fresh water is enough for them to use for a long time.
Hey, aren't we going to wait for Brother Quanshui and the others here? Big White Bear was taking off his steel armor and asked in confusion.
Yes, but I can't stay here any longer.
Rourou tilted his head, not quite understanding what he said. Sisi pointed to the tent not far away with his chin. The people over there were looking at them.
However, the moment they laid eyes on her, those people quickly looked away.
You mean, they might betray us, Sesame paste said thoughtfully.
After seeing the airship, most people would think so. Anyway, I can't think of anything that can hurt it.
After a pause, Sisi continued. Besides, even if they don't take the initiative to betray us, people from the legion will definitely come here to inquire about the missing soldiers... They can be bribed with a few dinars.
The words just fell.
A dense cannon fire was heard in the distance, and there was another commotion in the camp.
This is already the second time today...and unlike the one two hours ago, this time several shots were fired in succession.
Looking at the direction where the airship was pouring firepower, Sisi frowned slightly, with a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.
One step faster than her.
Tails, who straightened his neck and looked into the distance, was the first to spot the black spot emerging from the billowing smoke, and exclaimed.
giao! That seems to be our plane! Hmm... I guess so. Sisi looked at the vm screen, and thirty IDs appeared in the nearby player list.
But almost in an instant, there were only five online.
Wait, Tai Wei's expression suddenly changed. Doesn't this mean... someone has brought the new version of the information to the official website?
Sisi was stunned for a moment and had not yet come to his senses. But Rourou on the side... got on the radio wave, with a frustrated expression on his face, although it was not very obvious because of his thick hair.
Damn it...we were obviously the ones who discovered it first. Is this the time now? The cat ears on the top of the head were shaking uneasily, Sesame Paste urged with a dumbfounded look on his face, let's quickly discuss where to go.
Even without the airship, it would not be suitable for them to continue to stay here if they had made such a big fuss.
After discussion, the group decided to move to the forest area in the east of Ruigu City.
There is a valley there, which is easy to hide, and it maintains a safe distance of twenty kilometers from the airship.
Before receiving new orders, they will wait there for the storm troopers to rush here.
By the way, when passing through the southern suburbs of Ruigu City, recover the VM dropped by the pilot.
If you can find it….
After confirming the location of the next stop, everyone stopped wasting time and quickly packed their luggage.
Pointing a gun at Herrick, who was tied into a rice dumpling, Sisi tied him to the back of the electric mule truck.
Looking at that pale and blue face, she probably guessed what this person was afraid of, so she smiled lightly.
Don't worry, the road conditions here are very bad and the car won't drive very fast. But if you delay deliberately, you'll be responsible for the consequences.
Herrick's Adam's apple moved, and he closed his mouth and did not dare to say anything. "
When he first saw the airship, he did imagine that these people would be frightened by the power of the legion and let him go.
But at this moment, he has given up all illusions.
These people are crazy
They didn't care about the consequences of doing this at all. Seeing the expression on the prisoner's face with satisfaction, Sisi tied an extra knot on the rope.
After finishing this matter, she was about to carry Luo Hua, who was seriously injured and unconscious, into the truck with her tail, when the NPC named Kaliman came over with more than a dozen of his guards.
Sisi stopped what he was doing and looked at the people in front of him. He was about to ask them what happened when Kaliman, who was walking in front, took the initiative to speak.
Are you planning to go back to Qingquan City?
Without waiting for Sisi's reply, he continued to extend the invitation.
We can go on the road together.
No need. Sisi decisively rejected the invitation from his fellow travelers without even thinking about it.
Kaliman hesitated for a moment. Are you doubting me? Sisi said simply.
No, it's just not necessary. Besides, we have only known each other for less than 24 hours, so I have no reason to trust you.
Kaliman was silent for a moment and nodded. Understand... I was the one who was abrupt. And with your strength, you really don't need us.
Although he only watched the second half of the previous battle, it did not prevent him from getting to know the seemingly weak girl in front of him again.
She turned out to be the Awakened One. However, he did not give up. Taking a deep breath, he compiled his words for a moment and spoke.
I'm sorry that I have selectively concealed my identity for safety reasons. Please allow me to reintroduce myself. I am indeed from the Lion Kingdom in Oasis No. 9, but I am not a businessman, but the son of the king.
Hessi was stunned for a moment. Tail standing next to him lit up his eyes. Oh, it’s the prince! Then don’t you have many wives?
In fact, it's not as powerful as you think. Looking at the surprised expression on the short-haired girl's face, Kaliman probably guessed what she was thinking even though he didn't understand what she was saying.
With a wry smile, he continued. My father has many children, and I am just one of them. Moreover, I have voluntarily given up the trial and the right to inherit the throne, and now I am just a courtier.
After a pause, he continued. Even if I give up the throne, my... loyalty to the kingdom is still as clear as a diamond, and the spirit of the sand sea can authenticate my oath.
Sisi looked at him doubtfully. Why are you telling us this? A day ago, she might have listened to this guy's story with great interest, but now their trip has come to nothing.
At least it failed for now. Kaliman looked at her seriously.
We have a common enemy and we need your help!
A surprised expression appeared on Sisi's face. Did she enter the main plot? At this time, a short dry cough suddenly came from the truck, interrupting her thoughts.
Hearing the cough, the nearest sesame paste immediately ran over and quickly got into the carriage. Looking at the injured NPC on the stretcher, she asked with concern in unskilled human contact. Are you okay?
?
Chu Guang...cough...I, where am I?
His chapped lips opened and closed, and his voice was weak, like a candle swaying in the wind.
Fortunately, thanks to Sisi hanging two bags of glucose and saline on him, his condition is much better than yesterday.
This is Ruigu City, which is still a hundred and fifty kilometers away from Qingquan City. We originally planned to wait until your injury stabilized before taking you back...
Luo Hua didn't say anything. He moved his eyes away from the unfamiliar face in front of him and slowly fell on the vm on her arm.
It seemed that Shao had found this thing, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he suddenly clenched his teeth, raised his heavy arms, and removed the bandage wrapped around his abdomen.
Blood seeped out faintly.
Yeah, don't move... Startled by his sudden movement, Sesame Paste quickly tried to stop him, but as soon as he touched his hand, he found a card covered in blood in his hand. 28
...We found it. We found it. What did we find? The stunned Sesame Paste asked subconsciously.
He didn't explain.
He just said in an increasingly weak voice, minding his own business.
Give this to him.
