Vito, who was crawling on the rocks, took his right eye away from the scope of the sniper rifle, and a moment of surprise flashed between his brows.
Has it been discovered?
His eyes narrowed slightly.
He decisively put away his sniper rifle, raised his index finger and touched it lightly by his ear, and spoke to the other two hunters who were approaching.
"Walit, Xiu, please pay attention...the other party is an awakened person, suspected of having enhanced hearing and vision. They have entered a state of alert, please be careful."
Two responses came from the earphones.
"learn."
"receive."
After the order was given, Vito did not hesitate at all. He pulled out the flare gun on his waist and fired a shot into the sky.
The red signal flare flickered up into the sky, hanging in the night sky like a red lantern.
There is a patrol team on a search mission five kilometers away. After seeing the signal they send, reinforcements will come immediately.
At this time, Valit's voice came from the headphones. The muscular guy said in a somewhat teasing tone.
"Is it necessary to call for reinforcements? It's just three little girls, plus at most one half-dead wounded man and two stupid bears."
In his opinion, his captain was completely overly cautious.
He admitted that the disastrous defeat of the 29th Marines was indeed cause for alarm, but there was no need to scare himself.
Those unlucky guys who had their heads shot off were just a group of new recruits who had served for less than two years. In terms of ability and experience, they were not at the same level as the elite Marines like them.
Hearing his teammates' teasing, Vito just replied indifferently.
"Be careful."
No matter whether the opponent is an old man, a child, or a woman, as long as the enemy is alive, he will not take it lightly.
After a pause, he continued.
"Besides, I only saw two of them just now, which is different from the three in the intelligence."
Low laughter and the creaking of bones were heard from the communication channel.
"That's just right, Xiu and I are one each."
Xiu, who remained silent from beginning to end, said impatiently...
"Stop talking nonsense, finish the matter quickly and go back."
Valit clenched his fists and grinned.
"okay!"
…
As the campfire went out, the camp was shrouded in darkness.
As his eyes gradually adapted to the dark environment, Sesame Gu, squatting behind the tree trunk, held his breath and alert, listening intently to the sound of the wind passing through the forest and the whispers hidden in the wind.
The awakening of LV10 did not give her a particularly powerful ability, but it gave her unparalleled hearing. No slightest movement within a hundred meters could escape her ears.
Time passes minute by minute.
The opponent did not immediately launch an offensive.
Just when she thought the confrontation would continue, a gunshot was suddenly heard in the distance, and a red signal flare rose into the sky.
Faint light fell from the sky into the woods. Looking up at the signal bomb in the sky, Sisi's expression changed slightly.
Almost at the same time, a loud roar suddenly tore through the silence in the forest, and with heavy steps, a burly figure rushed towards the camp.
The body of 2.5 meters is as strong as an ox. What is especially incredible is the exaggerated running speed. In just a few breaths, he is already close to the edge of the camp.
Sesame Paste was the first to pull the trigger, and dozens of bullets were poured out in the flash of fire, creating a dense network of firepower in the forest, but it did not stop his charge at all.
"really?!"
No time to be surprised, she quickly replaced the empty magazine.
During the break in Sesame Paste's ceasefire, Sisi, who was calmly aiming, finally waited until the man came within striking distance.
The magnetic slingshot that was ready to go was suddenly launched, focusing its fire towards his face. However, the next scene made Sisi's eyes widen in surprise.
I saw the man raising his thick left arm, not only resisting the six magnetically accelerated projectiles, but also running without any pause.
This guy--
Could it be a mutant?!
"Haha! It's useless——!"
With a wild laugh, Valit suddenly threw the short ax in his right hand.
The distance of more than ten meters passed in an instant. Seeing that the whirling short ax was about to hit Si Si's chest, the big white bear in steel armor roared and slapped the flying ax away, and then his legs shook.
He took the initiative and rushed forward.
Seeing the big white bear rushing toward him, Valit not only did not panic at all, but rushed forward without evading, and got into a close fight with Rourou.
"Are you the talking bear?"
Being stared at by those two pale green eyes, although Rourou was panicking, he still forced himself to calm down and shouted intimidatingly at him.
Valit glanced at his mouth, then exerted force with his arms, and his knotted muscles swelled like squirming earthworms, forcing the white bear back half a step.
The pressure suddenly increased, and Rourou shouted in a hurry.
"This guy is so strong... don't just watch, come and help me."
"You guys are too close, I can't aim at him... By the way, why did you rush up to him just now?" Sesame paste, who was holding the gun, looked dumbfounded, aiming at the struggling figure but unable to fire.
The key is that the meat is too big.
If you fire at this distance, your teammates may be beaten to pieces before the enemy.
"I, I, I, I didn't know, so I just rushed forward." The force holding her paws became stronger and stronger, and Rourou almost cried in anxiety.
She admitted that when she saw her friend in danger, she got a little excited at the time and rushed forward without thinking much. However, who would have thought that this guy was so strong.
Most of the opponents she had encountered before were slapped away by her, but this guy actually used his physical body to exert force, and his strength was not inferior to hers at all.
Is this still human?!
Si Si suddenly spoke.
"Sesame paste, take Luo Hua and run east as far as you can. If you can't hide the person, at least take the card back."
Sesame paste was stunned for a moment.
"But--"
"please."
Without further explanation, Sisi quickly pulled out the dagger tied to her thigh and rushed to help, but someone - or should I say a bear - was a step faster than her.
Seeing Rourou in danger and being kept in captivity until he almost lost his wildness, Teddy finally let out a long-lost roar.
Seeing another mutated brown bear rushing up, Valit's extremely excited expression finally showed a hint of panic.
"Xiu! What the hell are you dawdling about!" He roared anxiously and angrily.
An unhurried voice came through the communication channel.
"Aren't I worried that it will ruin your fun?"
The moment the words fell, a cold light flashed, followed by a whooshing sound through the air.
An arrow hit his back, and Teddy let out a roar of pain, but still braved the pain and rushed towards Valit, who was in a stalemate with Rourou.
Holding the short crossbow in his hand, Xiu had a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The poison he applied to the arrows was a dose that could knock down even an elephant, but this brown bear seemed to be fine?
Just when he was about to add another arrow, a tongue of fire suddenly burst out from the darkness, and bullets rained down on his exposed position.
"Grass!"
He threw himself down behind a nearby bunker, Xiu threw away the short crossbow, and took off the assault rifle hanging from his chest.
However, just when he was about to raise his gun to fight back, the howling cold light forced him to give up firing and smash the butt of the gun towards the man who rushed in front of him.
The butt of the gun came into close contact with the dagger, and it flew away without any suspense.
However, Xiu didn't have time to be surprised. He saw the girl in front of him took out two daggers from nowhere, held one in front and back in her hand, and stabbed his vital parts with two swish.
He was so frightened that he quickly backed up.
Without giving him a chance to breathe, Sisi quickly closed the distance and stabbed out with the dagger held in his right hand.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce his neck, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the forest.
Huge kinetic energy hit his abdomen, Sisi groaned, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably, hitting the tree trunk behind him.
The strong dizziness made her almost drop out of the phone on the spot.
Sniper!
After roughly locking the shooting direction, she released the dagger in her left hand, pulled off the smoke grenade hanging on her body armor and threw it out, preventing the man from re-firing and threatening her teammates.
Smoke fills the air.
However, the second and third gunshots still rang out. Although the bullets were not aimed at her, they made her heart sink even more.
She thought of Sesame Paste who retreated with Luo Hua.
but--
At the moment she wasn't worried about other people's free time.
Holding on to his shaky consciousness, Sisi used all his strength to throw the dagger in his right hand at the approaching man.
But unfortunately——
The man just tilted his head, dodged lightly, and pointed the gun at her who was about to pull out his pistol.
"You are very strong, but you are still a little too young."
"Surrender and be my prisoner is better than being the prisoner of that guy Valit."
The thin man pointed his chin at the man fighting the bear and said jokingly, "I've never seen anyone survive a week in his hands."
The mutated brown bear finally lay on the ground.
Sisi didn't speak, just stared at him.
"Haha, it seems you haven't made up your mind yet." A cruel smile appeared on Xiu's face, "You need someone to help you."
He took a step forward, and at this moment, three faint muffled sounds suddenly floated from the distance.
Before he could recover, the forest not far behind him exploded with three deafening explosions.
The heat wave slowly moved through the forest accompanied by the evening breeze.
Xiu was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise and confusion.
what happened?!
Si Si also looked confused.
However, the roar of the three explosions seemed to come from the same direction as the previous sniper rifle shots. Almost at the same time, a familiar voice came from outside the smoke screen.
"Die to me!!!"
A figure as fast as lightning broke through the smoke that filled the forest, and almost entered the battlefield together with the tongue of flames sprayed from the muzzle.
Xiu's pupils contracted violently, and he caught a glimpse of the girl holding an assault rifle from the corner of his eye.
However, even if he saw it at such a close distance, he had no time to react.
Bullets hit him like raindrops, and a mist of blood instantly exploded on his body. Before he could even scream, he was pushed to the ground by the ferocious firepower.
"Si! Are you okay!" He rushed out of the smoke, looked at Sisi who was leaning against the tree, and rushed forward anxiously.
"It's okay, Awei came in time! Thumbs up for you!"
A smile appeared on his pale face, and Si Si gave her a thumbs up.
However, Tai Tai did not answer the question. Instead, he was startled by Sisi's blood-stained clothes.
"giao! Why are you injured so badly!"
The body armor was punctured.
The blood almost stained the entire dress red.
However, Sisi didn't care. Anyway, this game has a pain shielding mechanism. After the battle, just find a bandage and wrap it up, and that's it.
"It's a small problem, no bones were injured. I'm from the physical system, and this minor injury will be almost recovered by tomorrow... Stop talking nonsense, and hurry up and help Rourou—"
"build!"
Looking through the diffuse smoke, Valit finally saw his tragically dead brother, and his eyes instantly filled with blood red.
Letting out a roar, he slammed away the flesh that was entangled with him, and rushed in the direction of Tails and Sisi.
He was about to rush closer.
It was too late, but soon, a "whoosh" sound suddenly came.
I saw an RPG dragging a thick and long tail flame out of the darkness, and hit the strong man on the left shoulder!
It was an anti-armor HEAT round.
The blasting metal jet was like a hot spear of light, ruthlessly pouring into his left shoulder and exploding from his right side.
The flesh and blood were scorched and evaporated by the high temperature of thousands of degrees.
Even a mutant with pure blood cannot reshape half of his burned body in such a short period of time.
Valit let out a painful roar, but the sound soon disappeared, and his huge body fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
Carrying the smoky launch tube, my chest was heaving violently, and my heart was beating so fast that it almost reached my throat.
"Sesame paste?!"
Rourou looked at her in surprise.
"You left without Luo Hua?"
Sesame paste whispered.
"I...can't leave you behind."
"Thank you, but having said that...our mission is probably over."
Looking up at the red flare slowly falling into the forest, Sisi sighed silently in his heart.
Whatever.
It's a game, as long as everyone is happy.
Anyway, they tried their best.
What really made her feel pity was the cargo at the tail end.
After all, it only lasts three days after a person dies. If goods worth hundreds of thousands of silver coins are lost, it will take a long time to earn them back.
But at this time, Taili said optimistically.
"Don't worry, our reinforcements are here too!"
"Our...reinforcements?"
Sisi smiled bitterly and was about to complain about how there could be such a thing. However, at this moment, she suddenly thought of something and quickly opened the VM tied to her arm.
All I saw was the dark map.
Sure enough, there were strings of green dots flashing with hope!
"Um!"
Taitail nodded excitedly and continued without stopping, "It's Brother Quanshui and the others! It was so dangerous just now, I almost got hit by that sniper."
It turned out that the two gunshots just fired were from the tail rushing to support him.
A hint of surprise appeared in Sisi's eyes.
As for that explosion...
Probably Commander Quanmizu's 120mm heavy mortar.
If she remembered correctly, the name should be "Destroyer" - it was the exoskeleton shaped like a water arrow turtle.
But this is not the point.
She couldn't understand why the Storm Troopers appeared here?!
They...just officially set off yesterday, right?
Marching 150 kilometers in the wasteland would take five days no matter how fast it was. How could it be possible to reach Ruigu City from Qingquan City in less than forty-eight hours?
While he was talking, intensive gunshots were heard in the distance.
After seeing the signal flare, the legion team came for reinforcements and collided with the elite storm troopers who also came for reinforcements. A fierce exchange of fire immediately broke out between the two sides!
Immediately afterwards, three more deafening explosions sounded.
Facing the fierce firepower of the players, the legion squad that came for reinforcements quickly suffered more than half of their casualties. After leaving behind twenty or thirty corpses, they collapsed and collapsed to the west.
The gunfire in the distance gradually subsided, and the players of the Storm Corps did not choose to pursue it.
After dressing his wound with a bandage, Si Si soon saw a group of people walking in the distance.
There are about twenty of them. Judging from the Type 5 light cavalry exoskeleton, these people are the elite of the Storm Troopers.
The person leading the charge is none other than a veteran player in the Battlefield Atmosphere Team - Stormtroopers, and he is also a ruthless person who entered the game in the early version.
Looking at his familiar teammates, Si Si said blankly.
"How did you...come here?"
"Of course I ran here."
"……run?"
"Um."
The rifle was slung on his shoulder, and the field man grinned and cursed.
"Quanshui's dog coins are not human beings. They formed a separate team of players equipped with 'light cavalry' in the regiment. They said that cavalry should look like cavalry. Then they put us in groups of two and took turns being mounts. One of them would run and the other would hang up.
, forced march for thirty hours continuously... Damn it, my exoskeleton is running out of power."
Sisi was stunned.
What the hell is taking turns as a mount?!
She tried to imagine the scene in her mind, but she felt that her imagination was not enough.
However, in theory, with the performance of the "Five Type" light cavalry exoskeleton, this kind of operation is not impossible.
It's just a bit inappropriate.
"...Who is the darkest one, me, who always follows you?"
Warlander said with a smile.
"He went to help the spring water correct its firepower!"
"That guy's awakening ability is surprisingly useful when guiding artillery fire. Not only can he lock the general direction of the gunshots in a wide area, but he can also judge the impact point of the artillery shells. The old man who was squatting in the pit just now to shoot black guns has been beaten by our 120mm
The cannonball was fired!"
Tails gave a thumbs up.
"Oh! Thank you, brother, it was such a close call just now!"
"Hahaha, you're welcome!" Warfield said with a smile, "You guys are not bad, you can last for so long."
Taiyi said with a proud expression: "You're just kidding, my Sisi is super brave! Of course, so is Taiyi!"
Sisi coughed slightly and changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, did you just abandon the baggage train?"
"Almost, we only have 23 sets of light cavalry. Except for Quan Shui, who uses his own Destroyer, the other players are equipped with KV-1. The battery life is too weak... By the way, why aren't you wearing exoskeletons?"
"Whoever is a businessman will bring that...but speaking of which, you didn't bring any supplies at all."
"It's okay, aren't we still here with you?" the battlefield atmosphere team said with a smile, "Brother Quan Shui said that when he flew back that day, he felt that something must be wrong with you. He was urging us to hurry up all the way. Wait until we are rescued.
Rich woman, just eat soft rice."
Sisi: "..."
Tails said enthusiastically.
"Oh! Feel free to eat, I brought a lot of delicious food!"
The battlefield atmosphere team smiled and said: "Haha, I'm just kidding. We won't use your supplies in vain. Please just give us the market price. Anyway, the military expenditure manager will reimburse you."
Sisi sighed.
"Let's stop talking about these things that are outside our sight... We have made such a big noise, so we should change places. Tails, can you please pack your luggage?"
"Ook!"
Taiyi went to the truck, and Sesame Paste also went to help.
The battlefield atmosphere team glanced at the bandage wrapped around Sisi's waist.
"Are you okay?"
Kakarot, who was standing aside, interrupted.
"I am from the strength system and can carry you!"
Upon hearing this, Kevin with a broken leg immediately shouted.
"Damn, aren't you my mount?"
Kakarot rolled his eyes.
"Get lost! Who the hell is your mount!"
"It's okay... I can do it myself."
Taking a deep breath, Sisi picked up the rifle on the ground and used it as a crutch, and stood up holding on to the tree trunk. Just as she was about to go back to the truck, she suddenly saw Rourou sitting silently in the corner of the camp with her head hanging down.
"Routou?"
The broad back did not respond.
Moving his gaze downwards and looking at the mutated brown bear lying on the ground, Sisi was stunned for a moment and fell into silence.
Walking behind Rourou, she put her hands on the furry shoulders.
Finally I couldn't hold it any longer.
The broad shoulders were trembling slightly, the fleshy head was hanging down, and the voice was choked as he spoke.
"Teddy...has no heartbeat."
Although she had left that stupid bear in the group just as a joke at the beginning, after traveling together for so long, she had already regarded him as a companion.
The same goes for the rest of the White Bear Knights.
Be quiet in the open space for a while.
Sesame paste secretly wiped the corners of his eyes. Even Tai, the most optimistic and noisy one, lost his voice at this time and lowered his head in silence.
The players standing around were also silent.
Most of them are veteran players who have qualified for the closed beta test of the Alpha version, and they understand very well the feeling of never getting back the people you remember.
The most realistic and worst setting of this game is probably that NPCs cannot be resurrected.
Players can be reborn with their memories. No matter how they try to commit suicide, they will never really die. They will always have a chance to come back, and they will always be able to see the sun three days later.
However, the NPC who accompanies them has only one life.
Those memories are sometimes more like curses, and they are the only pain that the helmet cannot shield.
That's why they always rush to the front.
Warlander scratched the back of his head.
Although they didn't want to talk much at this time, and they wouldn't say comforting words, they had to leave.
"Brother Quan Shui said, let us move immediately after joining you...the other party may send regional firepower to us, leaving us not much time."
Si Si nodded silently.
Gently patting the furry back, she said softly.
"Let's take it with us."
Rourou nodded with mixed emotions.
"Um……"
…
Heart of Steel.
An officer trotted across the corridor and rushed into the bridge with a panicked expression.
The door opens.
He said loudly with a trembling voice.
"Report! The 29th and 31st Marines have been wiped out! Someone blocked our ground troops sent to the eastern suburbs to recover parachutes!"
The first day in the Valley Province.
They suffered such heavy losses.
"A bunch of trash!"
The furious General McClung cursed loudly, looked at the crew members sitting in front of the console, and ordered in an almost roaring voice.
"400mm main gun reloading!"
"Blast those wild dogs to smithereens!"
He knew those people must have run away.
No one would be stupid enough to stand there and blow them up.
But he still has to do it.
For nothing else.
He wanted those ants to use their eyes, ears, and souls to feel the rage rising from hell, let them tremble in front of the gunfire, and kneel on the ground regretting their thoughtless stupidity.
No one can stop the Legion!
No one can stop him!
The crew member sitting in front of the console responded with a loud voice.
"yes!"
…
In the silent night sky, a firelight flickered, and a thick column of air rose into the sky, followed by the sound of cannons that shattered the clouds like rolling thunder.
That night, all the wastelanders in Ruigu City, whether they were survivors or looters, heard the loud noise that destroyed the world.
The cannonball fell into the forest-covered mountain col 20 kilometers away.
Red flames engulfed the forest, thick smoke billowed into the sky, and debris and shock waves spread across the forest.
Standing on a hillside several kilometers away and looking from a distance, Commander Quanshui handed the telescope in his hand to the field man standing aside.
"General mortars cannot hit this far, and 80% of them are rocket extended-range projectiles... Judging from the shape of the air column and damage area, the warhead should be a cloud burst projectile."
The legendary sub-nuclear weapon.
It can deplete an entire area of oxygen in an instant.
After a pause, he continued.
"The war has already begun."
The warlord said nothing.
It wasn't until a long while later that he suddenly spoke as if he had regained consciousness.
"Damn it, this is so powerful!"
"How about we do one too?"
Hearing this, Commander Quanshui rolled his eyes.
"Without air superiority, it's useless to use it as a living target."
The warlord was stunned for a moment.
"what is it now."
He is good at rushing, but he is only good at rushing.
If you ask him how to fight the battle, he will be confused.
Commander Quan Shui chuckled and said calmly.
"Just do whatever you have to do. It's not like you can't fight if you don't have air superiority. It's just a different way of fighting."
What's the point of bullying a bunch of monkeys who are fighting with fire sticks?
This is the real battlefield in front of you!
Looking at the thick smoke that lingered for a long time, Quan Shui's eyes not only showed no fear, but instead shone with excitement.
