The thick and long barrel spurted out tongues of fire, and in the flash of lightning, the two soldiers were torn to pieces in an instant.
The explosion of gunpowder almost shattered Herrick's eardrums, and he fled behind the bunker in embarrassment. Just as he was about to raise his gun to fight back, he saw a brother bump into the whizzing claws.
Flesh and blood flying everywhere!
The big white bear seemed to be frightened by its ferocious impact, let alone the soldiers wearing black cloaks.
"spread!!"
Seeing that two brothers were tragically killed by machine gun fire in an instant, Herrick angrily raised the muzzle of his gun and fired a shot at the front of the car.
The bullet hit the welded steel plate at the front of the machine gun, making a clanging sound, but it had no effect at all, leaving only a string of sparks and pitted dents.
"Gi's tail shrank his head reflexively, and he nimbly dodged the incoming bullets. He held the machine gun with both hands without any panic.
Sesame paste, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was startled by the bullets that were fired at him.
"ah!!"
She subconsciously buried her head under the steering wheel, and her soles were firmly welded to the accelerator.
Looking at the oncoming truck and the steel plate that could not be penetrated at all, there was a trace of despair in the eyes of Heyrick holding the submachine gun.
Especially when he saw the thick and long gun barrel on the roof of the car pointed at him.
For a moment, his heartbeat even froze.
However-
What finally made him lose consciousness was not the bullet fired in the face.
It was the front of the car that crashed straight into his chest.
At the last moment when he lost consciousness, he vaguely heard someone shouting something.
Although I didn’t understand it at all…
"Awei! Leave one alive!"
"Oh! Got it!"
…
Cold water was splashed on his face.
Heyrick woke up from his coma and saw the black muzzle of a gun head on.
"We always convince people with reason, so you'd better not act rashly."
Sisi returned this sentence to the guy lying on the ground, but saw that he was looking at him like a monster.
She touched her chin with her left hand.
Is it that scary?
She is quite satisfied with her game character.
"I was scared to death... We suddenly received a mission and said something happened to you, so we rushed over immediately. We just saw you shot so many times, Taiwei and I thought you were dead." Sesame Paste got off the truck.
, walked over with a worried look on his face.
"Thanks to the body armor, but I also broke a few ribs."
Sisi said nonchalantly.
Although she felt that her condition was probably more than just a few broken ribs.
However, for such serious internal and external injuries, he has actually recovered by 30% to 40%.
I chose the physical system just because I considered such a situation, but now I think it was the right choice.
Pain beyond the limit will be blocked. This is probably one of the most convenient features of this game. It is equivalent to bringing your own sedatives and painkillers.
Otherwise, no matter how high your constitution points are, you won't be able to bear the pain.
"As expected of Si! That line just now was so cool!" Taili said with shining eyes.
Rourou looked at her worriedly.
"Is it really okay for you? You were shot so many times..."
"fine."
A soft smile appeared on Sisi's face.
"...Thanks to you for coming in time, I might have been captured if I was alone."
"Especially Rourou, he is very brave!
"What are you talking about? How can I stay behind when my friends are in trouble?"
He raised his heavy bear paw and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
As a result, his head was covered with blood.
The sensational atmosphere becomes a little subtly bloody.
However, at this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly turned the topic in a strange direction.
"Gi! Capture, capture?! Will the plot in the book happen?!"
Sesame paste looked confused: "Book?"
Looking at someone with shining eyes, Sisi sighed helplessly.
"A Wei usually doesn't watch that kind of stuff."
"!Have you installed surveillance cameras in my house?"
"Squirt, you woman...is not simple."
The gunfire and commotion attracted people nearby, and the first to arrive were Kaliman and his guards.
Although his captain of the guard strongly opposed intervening in the disputes of the Wastelanders, he remembered that he had promised to protect the safety of these people just a few minutes ago.
He still had the courage to lead the people over.
However, when he arrived here, he found that the battle was over.
Wastelanders wearing black cloaks lay scattered on the ground, and their death was extremely miserable.
When a 1 mm caliber machine gun hits a person, it is more than just a bullet hole. The flesh, flesh and limbs torn apart by the huge kinetic energy are scattered around the remains of the tent. This is the first time he left the desert, and he can't help but feel his stomach churn, and his face turns slightly.
whitish.
"What's going on here...
The guard captain with a beard on his face took a step forward and squatted on the ground.
He stretched out his index finger and touched the face of one of the corpses, his expression suddenly serious.
"Men of the legion..."
There are people of all skin colors and hair colors in the wasteland, but the ones with the bulge in the middle of their noses are only those from the Legion.
One theory is that they used D from ancient people, and another theory is that they made certain modifications to their genes in order to make their noble bloodline unique.
Legion...
Kaliman chewed these two words repeatedly in his mouth, and there was hatred and anger in his eyes.
At this time, the merchants, guards and mercenaries who had been hiding away earlier rushed back when they saw the gunfire stopped.
Seeing the tragic mess all over the ground, a merchant's face suddenly showed an expression of pain.
"Damn it, what have you done! My tent, my bag, my luggage...they were all destroyed by you."
Looking at the truck parked next to the tent, several mercenaries carrying rifles surrounded it.
"Isn't it just a few tents..." Sisi threw a few dinars on the ground, "Is that enough?"
This little money was obviously not enough. The businessman wanted to say something, but was gently pulled away by the guard next to him.
"Those three little girls are Awakened... If we really fight, we will probably suffer heavy losses."
The merchant's face turned red and he felt suffocated in his stomach, but he finally swallowed it, picked up the gold coins on the ground, and left silently.
The nearby residents looked at this from a distance and watched the excitement.
To the north of Katyn Station is the residence of merchant travelers. As long as bullets do not fly to their homes, no one will care about the death of a few wastelanders.
However, it has been many years since we fought as fiercely as today.
Just as everyone was talking about it, an old man over fifty years old walked out of the crowd.
His skin is dark, his face is covered with wrinkles, and he looks weather-beaten, but his body is still strong.
The dozen or so strong men following him were also dressed in the same manner, carrying a revolver rifle on their backs.
After looking at the corpse and the man lying on the ground, and then at the three people and a bear next to the truck, the old man frowned slowly and said.
"My name is Mudka, and I am the village chief here."
"Sisi, and over there are Awei, sesame paste and Rourou."
Sissi also introduced herself to her companions, although she felt that the old man in front of her didn't care what their names were.
And that was indeed the case. The old man didn't ask them where they were from, he said straightforwardly.
"This is a safe zone. You broke the rules here and you need to compensate the scared residents, cattle and sheep in the village."
Sisi said expressionlessly.
"Oh? Since it's a safe zone, why didn't you come forward before they took action?"
"I rushed over after hearing the gunshots. No matter what, you driving through the camp, crushing tents and luggage, and firing machine guns... these are all too much."
Tails, who didn't understand anything at all, protested dissatisfied.
"Hey, I didn't hurt any innocent people—"
Si Si interrupted Tai's explanation, stared at the old man, and spoke word by word.
"This is a matter between the Alliance and the Legion. Are you sure you want to intervene?"
She could tell that the old man wanted to extort something from them.
If I hadn't thrown those few dinars just now, maybe I wouldn't be in this trouble.
Sure enough, when he heard the word alliance, the old man's attitude immediately changed.
There was an obvious fear and suspicion in the ferocious and cunning eyes of the wolf. Of course he had heard of the alliance and the rumors from the east.
The sudden rise of the alliance stopped the Bonechewer tribe from moving south, ending a year of chaos in the River Valley province.
Before that, the towering giant wall was the only lighthouse within hundreds of miles.
…Are you from the Alliance?
Sis looked at him and said.
"Yes."
The old man's face was slightly stiff, including the strong men beside him.
He did think about extorting a sum of money from these girls. After all, the truck contained a lot of good stuff, and the compensation he asked for was reasonable.
But now, things are different...
Listening to the conversation of those people, the survivors onlookers exchanged surprised glances with each other.
And the whispering sounds also spread to the surroundings along with the sight.
"The Alliance? They are actually members of the Alliance."
"I heard that each of the alliance's warriors has Xiaoyong who is as good as ten. It only took more than a thousand people to crush the bone-chewing tribe."
"No wonder..."
The strength of the Alliance is definitely not as good as the Legion, but they are their neighbors after all.
The Legion is half a continent away from here, located on the far west coast.
"I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult... From the alliance to us, it will only take a week at the slowest, and maybe two or three days at the fastest." A middle-aged man lowered his head and whispered next to the old man.
Mudka calmly said "Yeah" and stared at the young girl in front of him.
After a while, he slowly said, "...We have no intention of intervening in your disputes, but we also hope that you will not disturb our lives."
As he spoke, he waved his withered right hand and turned around with the tribesmen next to him.
As for compensation, it was never mentioned again.
Lying on the ground, Herrick's eyes moved back and forth between the three people and the bear.
He had never heard of the alliance and had no interest in knowing about it. At this moment, his thoughts were racing rapidly, thinking about how to escape the current situation.
However, when his eyes stopped on the black muzzle of the gun, he finally relaxed his shoulders and gave up the option of escaping actively.
The strength shown by the other party has exceeded his knowledge.
Whether it was the woman who was shot several times and seemed fine, or the mysterious weapon that killed five of his brothers in an instant.
Until now, he doesn't even know what that thing is.
perhaps.……
What extraordinary changes have really taken place in the River Valley Province.
"Are you sure you want to be the enemy of the Legion?"
Herrick lowered his voice, used the name of the legion, and tried to threaten these people to let him go.
Sis looked down at him.
"Even if we don't have this plan, trouble won't come to us on its own."
As she spoke, she shook the muzzle of the gun.
"Don't waste my time, what's your name?"
"Herrick..."
"What do you want that Luo Hua to do?"
The man's face darkened slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a slightly mocking arc.
"Haha, I want to—"
boom!
The sudden burst of gunfire startled the survivors who were watching.
Of course, the person who felt the smell of gunpowder most intuitively was the one lying on the ground.
The bullet hit the ground next to his ear, and the splash of mud covered half of his face.
Looking at the smoking muzzle and those merciless eyes, Herick felt a coldness that penetrated into his bones.
"I, I was just about to say..." The voice that sounded brave one second, stuttered unsatisfactorily the next second.
This is not because of fear, but subconscious instinct.
"Then hurry up." Si Si urged impatiently, turning on V's recording function.
“Business, business people.”
"Of course I know that the guy you are chasing is from the company, but what next?"
Herrick swallowed his saliva and continued speaking quickly.
"That mobile fortress rushed into the desert. Our servants heard that they were looking for some treasure there. Whatever it was, we couldn't let them take it away from our territory."
"Servant?" Tai Tai tilted his head.
"Falcon," Kaliman, who walked aside with a gloom written on his face, interjected, "the kingdom that rules Oasis No. 2. A group of groveling cowards who abandoned their dignity and faith and dedicated their souls to the Borderlands.
Barbarians.”
Tail:"?"
Pressing his left hand on the sore forehead, Sisi sighed and said.
"Does this mean a slave state?"
Kaliman nodded stiffly.
"Yes."
Sis fell into deep thought.
Combining the discussions on the forum and the information disclosed on the official website, she probably understood the whole story.
To put it simply, the vassals of the Legion discovered the Trailblazer and reported the Trailblazer's intelligence to the Legion.
In order to prevent the enterprise from taking control of the shelter, the Legion suspected that it sent an expeditionary force of unknown size to the desert and cooperated with the locals to trap the mobile fortress.
Although the Pioneer has powerful firepower, no matter how awesome the technology is, it cannot be created out of nothing.
At least electricity and minerals cannot be conjured out of thin air.
And Herrick's next statement also confirmed her guess. "We surrounded the Pioneer while they were searching for supplies, and they had to withdraw from the ruins with the fuel rods. Those powered armors are very strong, but they
The number was limited, so we quickly divided and surrounded them. Some of them fled into the desert, some were trapped in the ruins, and several others were trapped in the fortress."
Sis asked immediately.
"You have captured the Pioneer?"
Herrick replied.
"The battle is over, and the occupation is only a matter of time, but what we want is not a pile of junk. They have set a password for the power room. We cannot enter from the outside. If we break through forcefully, it will cause the remaining nuclear fuel to be injected into the self-destruction
unit… then there’s nothing left.”
"That Luo Hua knows the password?" "I don't know, but he seems to be a key figure on the Pioneer, and he is suspected of having some clues about the shelter... The general ordered me to capture him and join him with the reinforcements of the Enterprise
Before, if I couldn't catch him alive, I could just take his head back."
"Reinforcements..."
Tai Tai touched his chin, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "It's not simple, they actually knew that the company had sent reinforcements."
Sesame Paste said with a subtle expression.
"Uh, do you still need to guess this?"
Staring at Herrick lying on the ground, Sisi continued.
"Tell me the unit number you belong to, the name of your superior, and how many people you sent to the desert."
"Heart of Steel..."
"What?"
"The unit I belong to," Herrick swallowed and whispered, "Heart of Steel. 2nd Marines. Our commander is Captain McClure."
"How far are they from here?"
"right here."
"here?!"
Sis is used to it.
Including Tails, Sesame Paste and Rourou, as well as Kaliman and his guards, everyone was stunned on the spot.
Sisi was about to ask, but when he saw Herrick, whose face was filled with fear just a second ago, a hint of fanaticism suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He looked straight at her.
However, the pupils were not focused on her face, but on the back of her head.
A bad premonition gradually appeared in Sisi's eyes.
"Right behind you...you will know it just by looking back." A smile appeared on Herrick's face.
No matter what he was proud of, Si Si knew very well that this was definitely not a "look at the flying saucer" trick.
Since just now, the people watching the excitement have moved their eyes away from here and cast their eyes towards the sky in the distance.
But now, all the unfamiliar faces are invariably showing confusion, hesitation and fear.
"What is that...?"
"Whale, whale?"
"My God, the big-antlered deer..." Some herdsmen knelt on the ground, their foreheads firmly pressed against the ground.
Many mercenaries were at a loss, but some far-sighted merchants recognized the guy.
"The airship...is the airship of the Legion!"
Looking to the northwest of Ruigu City, Kaliman's eyes widened, his pupils changing with confusion and fear.
The guard standing next to him also involuntarily tightened his grip on the gun in his hand.
The majestic steel emerged from beneath the clouds, like icebergs emerging from the sea. The wings stretched out on both sides were like Kunpeng's wings, and the rows of roaring spirals tore through the clouds and mist, like the fangs of wild beasts.
It turns out that the Legion’s airship commander looks like this.
He had often heard rumors about it from people's mouths, but this was the first time he saw it.
It looked like a giant whale flying in the sky... although he had only seen that kind of animal in photos.
Several players were also dumbfounded.
Especially Sisi.
Rather than where this airship came from, she wanted to know how the steel monster flew into the sky.
The metallic shell does not look like a painted canvas. This is definitely not a real airship.
And if it is an airship made of alloy, even if it is made of aluminum alloy, even if the thickest armor on its body is only 1 mm, its tonnage must be hundreds or even thousands of tons.
And for such an unscientific product, the way of advancement actually relies on a row of parallel spiral prizes?
Sisi felt that his common sense had been impacted, and his brain was a little out of whack.
Although this is not the first time.
Lying on the ground, Herrick admired the stunned profile and said sadly.
"It's still too late for us to surrender and surrender..."
Bang!
A gunshot interrupted his words.
Herrick covered his left ear in pain and curled up into a ball on the ground.
Putting away the smoking pistol, Sisi adjusted the direction of the earphones and took a picture of the sky.
However, just when she opened V and was about to synchronize the photos to the official account, she found that the Internet was disconnected.
No signal?
At this time, he also stretched his neck and looked at the tail in the north. Suddenly his face changed and he screamed.
"gi! my balloon!"
Seeing the disappearing signal on V, Sesame Paste said with a dumbfounded expression.
"I told you not to go that far. You have to climb to the top of the mountain."
"I, I didn't think the signal would be better," Tai Wei whispered guiltily, "and it's written in the instructions, asking us to find a higher place."
"But that's too high!"
"Okay. The manager will definitely throw another one over." Taitail patted Sesame on the shoulder, but his guilty tone was not like comforting others, but more like comforting himself.
Should she be asked to compensate?
It shouldn’t be possible, right?
"Hey...it's not easy to get back on the hot search." Rourou sighed and sat down on the ground.
"Wooing...Damn it, my heart hurts so much."
Unlike those P who are afraid of legions, they are not afraid of legions.
Whether they are predators, legions, mutants or other alien species that are not human at all, they are just higher level monsters.
In contrast, they wanted to spread this hot news to the forum.
Dog Planning is back with a new lease of life!
pity…
Photos can only be uploaded later.
Heart of Steel.
On the bridge suspended below the airship, a man in luxurious clothing raised his chin slightly, looking down at the mountains, city ruins, vast forests and plains outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as the handsome face reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
His name is McClun, the captain of the Heart of Steel airship, he belongs to the Eastern Legion, and his rank is Captain Ten Thousand.
Although the captain of the legion does not mean to command ten thousand people, there is no doubt that he standing here is above ten thousand people.
The core part of the entire airship is an unfinished People's Alliance Aerospace Force frigate. It contains a power room composed of a fusion reactor and a deflector shield generation unit for "kinetic energy weapons".
Although most technologies cannot be parsed and are difficult to recover once parsed, this does not affect their continued use.
Even if it's in another form.
In short, this aircraft embodies the crystallization of pre-war civilization technology and the pinnacle of the Legion's achievements in the mechanical field.
Not only can it serve as an aircraft carrier flying in the sky, it can also go to the front line and pour tons of explosives over the enemy's heads after the enemy loses air supremacy.
There are very few forces in the entire wasteland that can stop them.
Except for the rats hiding in the swamp, the dung beetles hiding under the holy shield, and the cockroaches huddled on the east coast, even if the other ants had the ability to shoot down the airship, they would not dare to look up at them.
No one knows how many airships the Legion has, and no one knows how many unused arms stocks they inherited two hundred years ago.
Except for the marshal himself who rules everything.
"Dear General, right below your feet is Ruigu City! The plain beyond is the southern corridor of River Valley Province, and its west gate is opening to you!" Standing next to General McClun, the adjutant said
He said respectfully.
However, this flattery seems to have slapped the horse on the leg.
"I don't need you to tell me about the history of my tiny little land. You just need to tell me where those cockroaches who crawled over from the East Coast are now."
General McClung spoke slowly, with a hint of obvious impatience in his tone.
He was supposed to enjoy the service of the servants in Oasis No. 2, but because of a piece of intelligence coming from the Bugla Free State, he was sent here by his superiors to intercept the reinforcements sent by the company from the east coast.
Although he was said to be a superior, the old fox named Griffin was actually only half a rank higher than him. He had an extra star on the captain's epaulette.
However, there is no way, even half a star is higher than his military rank.
What's more, that man is also the commander of the Eastern Legion, a personally appointed frontline commander.
Let alone flying an airship, even if you are flying a space battleship, you have to obey his command.
Whenever he thought of this, McClun felt a burst of fire in his heart.
The Pioneer has been captured, and the remaining crew members are stuck in the ruins of pre-war civilization without logistical supplies. Surrender will be a matter of time.
The spoils were about to be divided, but he was sent to this place where no one had a chance to poop.
They are just employees of a company.
Is it so important?" Griffin's ambition is not small. He most likely wants to take this opportunity to bring the entire Luoxia Province into the sphere of influence of the Eastern Legion." The staff officer standing aside said softly. This sentence sounded like
dream.
There is a large desert between Luoxia Province and the core territory of the legion.
The so-called great desert is not as simple as a place name, but a restricted area of life spanning thousands of kilometers.
The Legion simply cannot rule the enclave of Luoxia Province, not to mention that it is far away from their core interests.
If it weren't for taking over the Great Rift Valley, they wouldn't even have to keep vassals.
Although the Eagle Kingdom contributes a large amount of wealth to them every year, every general of the Eastern Army knows very well that compared to their investment in that servant country, the dinars and slaves offered by the honest and humble king are simply not enough.
Worth mentioning.
but……
The disastrous defeat of the expeditionary force and the death of General Klass finally made some of the army's top brass realize that it was a naive idea to expect to capture the Great Rift Valley, which had caused huge losses to the company, within a few months.
They need to invest more strength, build more reliable logistics, improve supply lines, and mobilize a larger manpower to shine the shoes of the captains-whether they mobilize their own or the servant countries.
In the final analysis, they need to strengthen their control over the East.
There are many methods available.
for example……
Promote that loyal and honest king into an emperor." So you deliberately exempted us, do you want to take the credit for yourself?"
Thinking of Griffin's arrogant face, General McClung narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly felt something in his heart.
Looking at the wilderness in the southeast, the corner of his mouth curled up with a cruel arc.
"Allowing this group of barbarians who drink raw hair and drink blood to stay here is simply a desecration of the heritage of our ancestors. In my opinion, the Legion's frontier should be expanded by another 500 kilometers eastward." "We are fully capable of this!"
The adjutants and staff officers beside him all showed surprised expressions.
"... It's not a good idea to create extraneous problems. I think we should defeat the enterprise's reinforcements as quickly as possible and then return to Oasis No. 2."
General McClung said expressionlessly.
"What's the point of going back? That old fox will most likely find another reason to drive us away. Once we open the southern corridor, the southern gate of the Great Rift Valley will be open to us. Not to mention the legion commander, even the marshal cannot ignore us.
Credit."
"But…"
"Nothing to worry about."
After interrupting the staff officer's words, McClun looked up at the floor-to-ceiling windows in front, and a happy laughter gradually appeared on his face.
"Let us bring real order and civilization to these barbarians!"
Almost at the moment when the voice fell, the forward-moving airship suddenly tilted two angles to the right, and the connecting parts made a creaking buzz.
It's just a small wiggle.
However, at this moment, McClun's attention was entirely on the handsome face outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Caught off guard, he lost his balance and his nose almost came into close contact with the armrest next to him.
Fortunately, the adjutant on the side had quick eyesight and quick hands, and helped him catch him who almost fell.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Picking up the hat from the ground, McClung cursed angrily.
"What happened just now? What idiot was driving the boat!"
"Maybe it's just the airflow..."
Faced with McClun's roar, the adjutant spoke cautiously.
However, before he finished speaking, a soldier trotted in from outside the bridge and reported nervously.
"Captain! The spiral prize on our right seems to be entangled with something!"
"Send someone to fix it immediately!" McClung shouted.
"Yes!" The soldier straightened his back, saluted, and immediately ran away in a hurry.
McClung cursed and returned to his seat.
The officers around him looked at each other in confusion, and closed their mouths one after another, not daring to say a word, for fear of offending him and being used as a punching bag.
The deflector shield was not triggered, indicating that the speed of the impact object was not fast, and it may have hit a dazed bird. The problem should not be serious, but let me tell you, that moment just now was indeed not a good sign.
"The man I sent to the ground...is his name Herick or something? Is there any news?"
Upon hearing the captain's question, the adjutant on the side quickly said, "Not yet, but the last time he reported, he had locked the caravan... there should be news soon."
McClung was in a slightly better mood.
Catch the company employee and deal with the reinforcements sent by the company. The troubles will be solved one by one, and he will be able to free up time to do his own things.
While the Heart of Steel was busy checking the fault, Chu Guang, who was more than 150 kilometers away, stared at his V in confusion.
What about the signal?
It was full just now, and he was looking at the screen in trance.
