The 7.62mm and .50cal armor-piercing bullets only make a clanging sound on the skin of the target, and cannot hurt a single cent.
"Boom! Boom!"
The 40mm caliber grenades hit and detonated one after another, only to emit thick black smoke and leave some dents and "scratches" on the target's skin.
Unless it is an armor-piercing cannon with a diameter exceeding 100mm, the firepower of an infantry tactical platoon alone will not be able to fight against the critical strike level of a heterogeneous armored unit.
There are more and more half-human scorpions that are trying to attack the reduced red version, such as "chariot class", which are constantly pouring out of the gap and charging towards the simple position formed by the tactical platoon.
"Ah!! Die! Die!!"
Yang Lin, who was standing next to the engine of a scrapped SUV, raised his pole gun and yelled to release his emotions, while firing long and short bursts at the head of the scorpion that was about to be destroyed.
However, everything the soldiers, including him, did was only a drop in the bucket.
The tank class can be eliminated by their firepower, but they are helpless against the behemoth critical strike class.
There is no gap of more than ten seconds.
As soon as it hit the level, it had already rushed to a distance of more than 30 meters from the positions of Class 1 and Class 2, and this huge and ugly guy also took advantage of the situation and swung its giant pincer extremely quickly...
"Bang!! Bang!!" Both the body and the vehicle exploded.
The vehicle fell apart, and glass shards and parts of the vehicle body began to splash around like fragmentation grenades. Soldiers within the critical attack range also suffered the same fate, even more tragic...
Bloody and bloody.
Even though it is protected by mechanical skeletons and thick armor, when faced with the impact of a giant pincer that is as powerful as a bus, everything is like paper and has no effect at all.
Moreover, even if the soldiers standing at the front reacted, they had no time to retreat immediately, so they had no choice but to grieve on the spot.
"Xiaotian! Xiaoli!! Damn it!" The platoon leader whose helmet fell to nowhere was furious, his eyes were red. He lost a squad of subordinates in an instant. How could he accept this?
But the platoon leader was not swayed by his emotions. He looked back and confirmed that Hiramei had gone far away before giving the order: "Everyone takes over and retreats. Don't stop the fire and continue to block!"
"yes!"
Yang Lin and a group of remaining soldiers immediately took over and retreated, pouring firepower on the attack and tank levels without stopping.
As a member of the third squad, Yang Lin and his comrades did not leave immediately because they were in a rear position. They waited for the remaining comrades of the first and second squads to pass them by. After waiting for a few seconds, they began to turn around and evacuate.
"Da da da!!"
As a machine gunner, Yang Lin needs to be the last man.
"Safety!"
The signal from his comrades came through the earphones. Yang Lin finally removed his right index finger from the trigger and prepared to turn around and run wildly.
"Save my... child..."
However, before he could completely turn around, he heard a faint cry for help not far away diagonally in front of the alien species.
?!
Upon hearing this, Yang Lin stopped turning around and turned his head to look in the direction of the source of the sound.
!!
I saw a station wagon that had been smashed by a critical strike before, flew more than ten meters away, and rolled to not far from their third squadron position. The body of the station wagon was twisted and deformed. There was actually a father and son inside?
Moreover, the father who was sitting in the driving position was seriously injured, and blood had seeped out along the gaps and pooled on the ground.
This amount of bleeding...
Hopeless.
In the child seat placed in the back, there was a several-month-old baby who was completely wrapped by the airbag, but for some reason did not make a cry.
What's going on?
Could it be that when the attack came, the father was reluctant to leave the vehicle and escape on foot?
How is the baby doing?
Dead or alive?
Also, why didn't he and his comrades notice this father and son before?
In an instant, countless confusions and speculations poured into Yang Lin's mind, but his body had already started to take action and immediately rushed towards the dilapidated vehicle.
The teachings and training Yang Lin has received since he was in the army tell him that what is higher than orders and his own life are the people.
With the increase in strength and speed provided by the mechanical skeleton, a distance of more than ten meters can disappear in an instant.
"Bah!!" A voice came out.
The twisted car door was like a piece of A4 paper, and was easily torn open by Yang Lin's free hands. Then, he got into the back seat of the car with his upper body, then pulled open the child seat, and carefully hugged the baby who seemed to be no longer breathing.
Get out of the car.
Seeing the normal rise and fall of the chest from a close distance, Yang Lin's heart finally dropped.
"Still alive!" Yang Lin expressed his emotions and said to the dying man.
“…”
After confirming that his son was still alive, the father seemed to realize his wish. He exhaled his last breath, his head tilted to one side, lifeless.
but.
Yang Lin didn't notice the father's condition, but held the baby with his left hand and pointed the gun at the incoming tanks with his right hand.
Just about to pull the trigger.
!
But Yang Lin suddenly pulled back his index finger and glanced at the baby in his arms.
"Xiao Yang! What are you doing! Get back here!" At this time, the platoon leader's roar also came from the earphones, "Forget it! Hurry up and cover Xiao Yang! Hurry up!"
The voice fell.
"Da da da-!"
Comrades who were already in position in the distance launched fire support.
"Pfft! Pfft!!"
The running speed was fast, and all the tanks that wanted to besiege were beaten into pieces.
One of the guys jumped up suddenly, opened his human-like mouth and rushed towards Yang Lin, so this guy became the target of the soldiers' fire, and was shot and exploded in mid-air.
At this time, Yang Lin did not hesitate, turned around and ran away, but...
"Rou~--!"
But when he turned around, he also heard violent roars and piercing the air behind him.
This means that he has fallen into the critical attack range, and that ugly giant scorpion has already wielded its bus-like giant pincers.
!!!
Realizing that this blow could not be avoided, Yang Lin immediately reacted with the fastest reaction speed in his life. He closed his eyes, curled up, and held the baby tightly in his arms, preparing to press everything on the mechanical skeleton and armor.
Of course, he himself can also act as a "meat pad" as a buffer. Even if there is even the slightest possibility, he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to keep the child alive...
Even if it means surviving a few seconds longer than him.
"Buzz~!!! Chi...bang!!"
But suddenly, a violent chain rotation, like the violent sound of a chainsaw making when cutting hard objects, resounded throughout the street.
"boom…!!"
The next moment, something huge and heavy hit the ground.
??
Yang Lin, who curled up and fell to the ground, couldn't help but be stunned. Logically speaking, he should be dead at this time?
Moreover, why did the gunshots of the comrades stop?
Confused, he opened his eyes.
First, he looked up to the front and found his comrades looking behind him with their mouths open and disbelief on their faces.
Immediately, Yang Lin also took advantage of the situation and looked back...
!!
He also joined the astonished team.
I saw that within a distance of more than 20 meters between him and the enemy, a blue "tin can" with a height of at least 3.6-7 meters appeared at some point!
Moreover, the armor of this iron can is thick, especially the shoulder pauldrons, and there is a pair of thick mechanical arms on the back, holding a missile launcher and a rotating machine cannon of unknown caliber.
The red mane of the helmet, as well as the waist chain and various strips of cloth (purity mark) decoration, give it a sense of familiarity with the ancient Roman Praetorian Guards.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a huge "chain saw" with a double-edged shape and a length of about 1.8 meters under the left arm of this iron can.
With the giant pliers falling on both sides, Yang Lin also guessed that it was the tin can who helped them block the fatal blow just now, and also used the chain saw to cut off the pliers that were about to hit.
this…
Are you still human?!
Even though he has a body of 3.6 or 7 meters tall and is assisted by advanced power armor, he is still too "small" compared to a mobile low-mountain-like strike class.
But the reality is the current situation.
"Ha!" At this moment, the tin can gave out a metallic smile of disdain, shook his shoulder joints, and said:
"Objection."
“Buzz——!”
As he finished speaking, the iron can once again caused the chain of the double-edged chain saw to rotate rapidly, and with a seemingly heavy and clumsy body shape, but extremely agile and fast pace, he actively rushed towards the critical stage.
"Poof!!" The body was violently exploded.
"Bah!!" The chain quickly grinds the meat.
During the charge, a large number of tank-class vehicles swarmed forward, trying to block its forward momentum, but without exception, they were turned into meat paste and broken into pieces.
It takes less than the blink of an eye.
The iron can, which turned into an afterimage, was already standing on the back of the attacker.
The left hand chain saw chopped off the human head and the scorpion tail, and the right hand struck the disgusting lower jaw, and then...
"Bah!!!" The blood was like a fountain.
When the decapitation action of the left chain saw was just halfway completed, the right hand couldn't wait to yank outward, and directly tore off the entire human head and scorpion tail with brute force.
Before the movement stopped, Iron Can grabbed the scorpion tail that was more than twice as big as his body in his right hand, raised his left foot and kicked it.
"Bang!!!" The meat splashed everywhere.
It looked like he was quite skillful, and his actions of kicking and smashing him seemed to be some kind of execution habit to vent his anger.
However, after taking care of the human head and scorpion tail that seemed to be the fatal part, he finally realized that there was a huge attacker on his back and started struggling crazily, trying to throw it off.
"Oh?" Tie Can lowered his head slightly and stared at his feet with the binocular monitor that emitted a dim red light and paused for a second.
after…
“Buzz…Bah!!!”
Simply use a chain saw to easily cut open the skin that cannot be damaged by even a 40mm grenade, and then control the missile launcher on the left to hit the gap at close range.
"call out!!"
A slender missile was ejected from its barrel and penetrated directly into the attack stage.
With almost no waiting time or delay, a fireball with a diameter of about forty meters was instantly generated from the inside out, swallowing up the entire striker and the iron can.
"Boom!!!" Violent explosions and powerful impacts followed one after another.
Yang Lin, who had just stood up, stooped again and turned his back to the explosion, while his comrades also quickly lowered their heads.
When the shock wave went away and the fire dissipated, a small mushroom cloud replaced the previous fireball. Smoke filled the entire street and visibility dropped to the lowest point.
"Boom, boom."
However, Yang Lin and all his comrades could clearly hear the sound of some kind of metal boots stepping on the road.
At the same time, the pair of "eyes" shining dark red in the tin can were also particularly obvious in the thick smoke, and they were also looking at Yang Lin, who was protecting the baby.
After a while.
The "eyes" disappeared one by one, which meant that the iron can, which was still safe and sound at the core of the explosion, seemed to have turned around and faced the collapse gap dug out by the target.
Then…
“Ri～——嘡-嘡-嘡!!!”
A burst of "crisp", "moving", but not too deafening sound of heavy gunfire and fire continued to come from the core area of the smoke.
See the situation.
A group of comrades got up and left the bunker, and came around Yang Lin to ensure the safety of Yang Lin and the baby in his arms.
Immediately afterwards, the platoon leader, who wore a more advanced helmet and had a thermal imaging function, looked in the direction of the core of the smoke, but the result he got was a blur, as if he had been disturbed.
Then he ordered: "Xiao Gao, lead the two people forward ten meters and conduct a proper investigation. I always feel that the smoke lasts a bit too long. It may be the interference method released by the iron can."
"Yes, Platoon Commander."
After getting the order, three people immediately wanted to move forward.
"Shua-! Shua-!"
But before the three soldiers could take action, bright blue light groups suddenly flashed around them.
Immediately afterwards, more blue paint, as well as ancient Roman Praetorian Guards and iron cans dressed as centurions, surrounded the soldiers in the center like a flash.
The smoke, which the platoon leader suspected had an interference function, began to dissipate quickly as more than a dozen new tin cans "entered the scene."
now.
Platoon leader, Yang Lin and the others discovered that the cannon from earlier had not only blown the battle tank into rubbish, but also used the rotary cannon mounted on the robotic arm to create a gap between himself and the tank tank.
In the "absolute vacuum" zone, one person guarded the entire street.
And the dozen or so tin cans who "flashed" next to them with unknown technologies were also taking heavy steps to prepare to officially "enter the game."
"Be careful to reduce the initial velocity of the warhead to below the speed of sound." One of the tin cans also used a metallic accent to remind all his partners.
Next.
Amid the confusion and astonishment of the "local" soldiers, these dozen tin cans had already been hit by the reverse attack, and two of them even took the initiative to jump into the underground tunnel dug by the enemy.
"What the hell... Platoon commander, who are these people?"
"Old Liu, you have to ask if those big guys are human."
After the street returned to normal, the soldiers finally started talking.
"How do I know who those tin cans are? Maybe they are the secret troops developed above." The platoon leader also shook his head.
"Hey..." At this time, there was a busy tone from everyone's communication, and then an officer with an older voice, who he knew was a senior general, issued an order on the public frequency:
"I am Major General Gao Tiankuo of the Third Field Army. The whole army is paying attention. I see that my physique is far beyond that of ordinary people. The soldiers with blue paint are all friendly forces of the Human Empire.
