Chapter 1000 Completion of the first stage (two-in-one chapter)
"Help! Dear sir.
Please save us for Brother Su's sake. We are just some scavengers and civilians, poor people who have just escaped from the orc prison camp on the outskirts of Victorville.
But with the orcs chasing us all the way, we have suffered heavy casualties and will soon be unable to hold on."
Facing the questioning voice in the headset, Hu Biao knew how to answer without even thinking about it.
He used a cry-like excited tone like a lost child after seeing an adult, and the person who claimed to be the Immokalee Fortress began to plead bitterly.
There was no way! Hu Biao still expected them to send troops immediately to support him.
If that doesn't work, just supporting them with the long-range heavy artillery they claim would be better than the current situation.
The heavy artillery that can hit a distance of more than 60 kilometers makes me look forward to it just thinking about it.
Unfortunately, the other party directly ignored Hu Biao's pitiful plea and said:
"Impossible, you are lying. According to the signal feedback from the detection radar, the people currently chasing you are the elite cavalry units of the orcs.
According to our analysis of the combat effectiveness between the two sides, with your status and combat effectiveness as scavengers, it is impossible to escape such a far distance when pursued by such a powerful orc force.
One last warning, report your true identity and purpose of coming, otherwise we will resort to indiscriminate bombardment."
Faced with such doubts about his identity, Hu Biao, who had boasted countless times, came up with relevant statements, and they were quite reasonable:
"Before we were caught, we discovered a secret storage warehouse left over from the last century.
In the warehouse, we found not only a large number of weapons, ammunition, and living supplies, but also powerful equipment such as surveillance and combat drones and thermobaric rocket launchers.
Due to the limited carrying capacity, we took a small part of the supplies and weapons at that time; but with this small amount of equipment, we fought all the way here.
Dear sir, please save us.
As long as you can save us, we are willing to reveal the location of the warehouse as a reward and gratitude for saving us."
The reason why Hu Biao told such lies was that he had no choice but to do so.
Otherwise, with their blind status, why would they let the other side send out precious mobile troops to fight against the orcs to save people?
The method Hu Biao came up with was nothing more than to increase their side's bargaining chip and create a so-called secret reserve warehouse.
Let the indigenous human force pay attention to them and send troops to rescue them.
You know! When talking about digging holes deeply and accumulating grain, everyone will think of rabbits for the first time; and then they will think of the fact that in 22 years, there are still a large number of ammunition reserves from decades ago.
Maozi.
In fact, Uncle Sam's family does this kind of thing a lot.
When they were fighting Maozi to the death, under the threat of crazy Maozi's "Big Ivan", they didn't know how many underground bases and warehouses they dug out.
There are some old cans, biscuits, weapons and equipment, chewing gum, blankets and other war preparation supplies stored inside.
After Maozi collapsed, years passed, and even Uncle Sam himself had forgotten the existence of some secret underground warehouses.
Therefore, Hu Biao's excuse is quite credible.
Hu Biao didn't believe it. In such a war-torn year, there were still people who were not interested in a large amount of equipment and supplies.
Even though many of the supplies inside are older than their grandparents.
As for the subsequent troubles related to this warehouse after being rescued, we can only consider it at that time; the most critical thing now is to survive.
Sure enough, after hearing what Hu Biao said, a thick man's voice across from him muttered with some enlightenment:
"The war preparation warehouse left over from the past? This is more or less the same."
Then this voice had an excited tone and asked quite seriously:
"Are you sure? Do you still remember where the entrance to that warehouse is, and are you willing to give it to us?"
"Of course, I swear to Brother Su here that as long as we poor people like us can survive, we are willing to do anything. Please, please save us."
Facing the other party's solemn inquiry, Hu Biao continued to perform sincerely; since he had not believed in Brother Su since he was a child, there was no problem at all in swearing in such a name.
Then the voice in the headset fell silent for at least a minute.
Just when Hu Biao thought he was done with it, he finally heard some good news in the headset:
"Gentlemen, please continue to hold on. Our supporting artillery fire will officially arrive in 2 minutes; the rescue force will arrive in about 5 minutes."
After saying that, this call ended.
Hu Biao shouted in the internal channel at the top of his lungs: "Everyone, if you hold on, we will get support from Immokalee soon."
While talking, Hu Biao also pointed the last thermobaric rocket launcher in his hand towards the 7 o'clock direction, and greeted an off-road vehicle.
Just a minute ago, someone fired a rocket from a distance.
Good guy! It was a thick rocket with a caliber of at least 120 to 30 mm. It almost grazed the truck where Hu Biao was and flew over the top of the car.
I almost didn't scare Hu Biao to death at that time, but now I can finally take revenge.
This is indeed the case. Even if Hu Biao's rocket missed by about ten meters, the power of the explosion also caused the off-road vehicle to suffer a disaster...
The call with the defenders of Immokalee ended 1 minute and 46 seconds later.
Suddenly there was a kind of cannonball in the sky that quickly tore through the air, but even for an old bird like Hu Biao, a strange sound reached his ears.
Strange? Judging from Hu Biao's experience in being bombarded for a long time in more than a dozen previous missions, there was no way to tell that this was the sound produced when artillery of that caliber was fired.
In addition, the sound of breaking through the air is too fast, and the speed is at least several times that of normal artillery shells, or even more.
Soon after, Hu Biao and the others finally figured out the situation.
I saw that their eyesight and nerve reflexes were unable to see clearly.
An armored vehicle, three motorcycles, and a giant wolf cavalry in the same straight line were pierced by a lightning-like silver light and exploded in the blink of an eye.
Finally, this silver light fell on the ground, making a big pit in the splash of sand, and it was officially over.
Instinctively, Yang Dongli, who claimed to know a little bit about everything, shouted on the team's internal channel: "Electromagnetic gun, this is an electromagnetic gun with mature technology that can be put into actual combat~"
Suddenly, Hu Biao and the other rustics came to their senses.
Yes! What era is this in?
After the continuous internal war, followed by several years of war with the orcs, humanity's industrial strength has indeed suffered huge damage long ago.
For example, various large-caliber artillery and related artillery shell production must have been greatly affected.
So much so that the military supplies stored up more than a hundred years ago were highly valued by these indigenous people.
But after all, it is now 1954, and it is very reasonable for the indigenous forces to have some electromagnetic guns on hand.
The only regret is that the indigenous defenders don't seem to have many of these electromagnetic guns, which can easily fire over 60 kilometers away.
Fortunately, some of the shells that fell sparsely were very accurate.
Every time a shell falls, at least three or four motorcycles, giant wolf mounts, or off-road vehicles will be blown to pieces.
Immediately, Hu Biao and others in the convoy felt that the pressure of the battle was greatly reduced.
It's just that these elite orc troops are really amazing in terms of fighting willpower; they still fight to the death despite being subjected to such powerful and precise artillery fire.
This situation continued until 9 minutes and 21 seconds later, when three rather strange-looking helicopters appeared.
To say they were weird was because Hu Biao and other country bumpkins took a quick look at them and discovered that there were no propellers on them at all.
After a while, they finally reacted.
This shouldn't be a helicopter, it should be a so-called suspended combat vehicle.
When they were still several kilometers away from the convoy, a series of small but very powerful rockets were fired from the floating chariot.
The orcs chasing the soldiers on the ground were bombed to the point where they were knocked upside down.
Almost 30 humans dressed like future warriors suddenly jumped out of the maglev chariot's cabin door that suddenly opened wide.
Then, Hu Biao and the others were dumbfounded.
Not only were these future warrior-like humans shocked, but the powerful fighting power they exploded in the following time; at the same time, the combat power of the orcs also left them speechless.
These people were dressed like exoskeleton armored warriors. They jumped from a height of more than 100 meters like a big rock, without even carrying a parachute.
Of course, this approach will not make them fall into a pile of mud.
Because when they reached an altitude of more than twenty meters, the exoskeleton armor worn by these humans suddenly spurted out two flames at the soles of their feet.
This scene, which was like a fighter jet taking off and landing vertically, allowed these human warriors to stop their rapid descent.
In the end, they landed on the ground very smoothly, not slowly.
Then, after putting on exoskeleton armor, these humans, whose overall height exceeded 3 meters, began their own powerful combat performances.
Using the agility bloodline that is not inferior to the primary agility at all, he can move at an explosive speed.
He picked up a black technology weapon similar to a Gauss rifle in his hand and fired at the orc warriors.
When that kind of Gauss rifle fires, there is no loud gunshot sound like any gunpowder weapon, and the caliber of the bullet is only 8 mm.
But as long as those orcs are hit, even the orcs are wearing thick armor that can at least defend against 7.62*51 steel core bullets.
An instant later, his whole body was burned with a huge fatal wound.
On the one hand, the orcs faced such a powerful enemy, and a scene that was extremely familiar to Hu Biao and others appeared.
After howling like wild beasts, hundreds of orc warriors burst out with the power of their blood, then rushed towards their opponents with several large grenades in their hands.
That posture is very similar to the reserved tactics of the Central Continent team.
Unfortunately, these similar tactics used by the orcs and the Central Continent team to reach the same destination through different routes did not have the expected effect.
Because even though Hu Biao and the others were in great turmoil, they did not forget to continue fighting with the weapons in their hands.
Coupled with the fire suppression of the aerial floating tank, the long-range fire support of the electromagnetic gun, and the humans wearing exoskeleton armor, a battle formation was formed for defensive operations.
In the end, another fifty or sixty people died in the battle, including the centurion, tenth commander and other officers. Basically all died in the battle.
The remaining orcs finally became frightened and turned around, or their wolf heads began to scatter in all directions and fled into the messy wilderness...
****
Those elite human warriors wearing exoskeleton armor did not escort the convoy to the small town of Immokalee after fighting off a large number of orc pursuers.
Without even planning to say hello to Hu Biao and the others, he boarded the suspended chariot again and flew in the direction from which he came.
It seemed that he was not worried about Hu Biao and the others at all, so he just turned around and ran away.
But they really don't have to worry. Although the huge California is very vast, it is still under human control, and there are very few relatively safe areas.
I don't want to be a slave to those orcs, or even a source of food, so I can only stay here.
In the following time, Hu Biao and the others had no other ideas at all. They could only continue to move forward, and they drove forward for more than ten minutes.
Finally, under the bright headlights, an off-road vehicle full of soldiers and two trucks appeared.
Compared to the reinforcements just now who were covered in black technology equipment and seemed to be armed to the b*t*holes, these soldiers looked much more normal.
It even fell into the eyes of Hu Biao, which can be explained by the saying that it is quite familiar.
These soldiers were all wearing desert camouflage-style military uniforms, body armor, ammunition carrying equipment, etc.
In short, at first glance, they look similar to the soldiers of the modern plane more than ten years ago.
However, the weapon in his hand is obviously not an M16A4, or an M4, etc., which is a standard weapon for modern soldiers that everyone is quite familiar with.
Specifically, it is a new type of large-caliber weapon, which is slightly smaller in caliber than the orcs' large-caliber submachine guns.
The caliber is 0.45, which must be the caliber of a firearm with the maximum recoil that a normal human being can withstand.
The workmanship is more refined, but the precision is limited.
It seems that just as Hu Biao and the others expected, due to the destruction and consumption in the long-term war, the industrial manufacturing capacity that can be preserved in human hands today is probably not even one-tenth of what it was at its peak.
And under the muzzle of the gun, there was a weird bayonet with serrations and even an electric one.
The reason why there is such a thing is probably because only such a melee weapon can saw through the thick armor of the elite orcs.
As well as causing some greater damage to these opponents with amazing vitality.
After these soldiers appeared, there was also no scene of warm greetings with Hu Biao and others; they waved slightly to let them go.
The two trucks joined the convoy one after another. After the off-road vehicle turned around, it continued to move forward with the convoy.
It was also from this moment that Hu Biao and the others discovered that the situation on both sides of the road began to look a little different.
Specifically, the land that was originally supposed to be used to grow tomatoes was turned into various trenches and bunkers. They were very organized with each other and eventually formed a solid line of defense.
As the convoy moves forward, the number of these bunkers becomes more dense.
Among them, on the second line of defense, Hu Biao and others saw a total of four electromagnetic guns with staggering tonnage, each with a section of gun barrel extending from four large fortresses.
With these four large fortresses as the core, they are surrounded by various small fortresses.
It seems that these four electromagnetic guns are the most critical defensive firepower in the Immokalee Fortress.
After finally passing through three lines of defense, Hu Biao and the others finally drove into a small town full of people. About two kilometers away, the off-road vehicle in front of them stopped completely.
After the driver of the leading car stopped, turned off the engine, and applied the handbrake.
Before I could even open the car doors that were all eye-catching around me, the system’s bitchy voice sounded again:
"Congratulations to Commander Hu Biao, to all the members of the Zhongzhou Team, and to the netizens who joined the mission this time, the first phase of the system mission has been completed.
According to the latest statistics, the Zhongzhou team has led a total of 167 people to their destination.
According to the requirements of the system's branch tasks, the reward level for arrivals between 150 and 200 people is met.
Therefore, in the follow-up period of this mission, the bloodline abilities of all members of the Central Continent team will immediately increase to 30%.
Please note that the above increase is limited to this mission. Once this mission is over, the bloodline power will return to its normal state.
The second phase of the mission will be officially released after it is triggered. Please continue to work hard..."
