Almost as soon as the sound of the flute disappeared, Manny took out the torque blaster from her pocket and immediately found a relatively hidden corner to hide.
All actions were instinctive reactions, but as soon as I hid, the sound of the flute appeared again, and this time, it was very close.
Manny stuck her head out and looked quietly in the direction where the flute sound came from, only to see a black shadow passing by about twenty meters away from her, and the sound of the flute gradually changed from rapid to long.
"Is it an aircraft?" Manny frowned, her inner vigilance rising.
According to common logic, the small aircraft that appear in this deserted place are generally unmanned. According to the current production level of human military industry, the main function of such drones should still be around reconnaissance, but this cannot be ruled out.
Alert and guard.
With these basic cognitions, Manny became more interested in the world behind the mountains, but also started to have a headache.
If this drone really has the ability to attack, then her ground unit has almost no chance of winning without effective weapons and equipment such as emp.
So, Manny thought about it and decided to change her route to avoid this unknown aircraft.
However, just as Manny was about to make a move, the sound of the flute approached again, and this time it seemed to be going straight to where Manny was hiding.
Manny was frightened. She knew that these drones under the current technological framework were usually equipped with heat source detection devices, and she could not avoid them even if she hid behind rocks. So now she could only wait for an opportunity, and then use the torque blaster to
It delivers a fatal blow.
After thinking of a countermeasure, Manny's heart rate increased. She tightened her grip on the simple electric torque blaster in her hand. She only had one chance, and if she didn't shoot down the drone, she would have no weapons to resist.
.
"Well..." The strange flute sound gradually approached with a long tail.
Manny held her breath and quietly poked her head out, only to see a black dot speeding towards her from a distance.
After locking the target, Manny hurriedly hid, squatted down, grasped the torque blaster with both hands, closed her eyes, and began to rely entirely on hearing to determine the relative position of the drone and herself.
After a while, the sound of the flute was almost behind her. Manny looked up at the sky, and the drone should be flying over her head.
After taking a deep breath, the sound of the flute finally became extremely clear.
A black shadow passed in front of Manny's eyes. Manny was startled and immediately pressed the activation button of the torque blaster in her hand. However, the expected arc did not appear, and the torque blaster in her hand seemed to be a misfire.
It was the same, only a series of "bah" sounds were made and then there was no more movement.
Manny was startled and said to herself: 'It's over!'
Looking up again, sure enough, the black shadow stopped. Although the "chicking" sound of the current just now was not loud, it heard it.
It turned its head and stared directly at Manny's position with its scarlet eyes.
And Manny finally saw what the drone looked like.
A UAV with a classic four-rotor structure is like an eagle that can hover in the air. Although its wingspan is not large, it is equipped with many various components.
Just from the two external muzzles and the miniature missile as thick as a child's arm, Manny could tell that it had extremely high lethality.
After swallowing hard, Manny froze in place and did not dare to move.
She was afraid that some of her inappropriate actions would trigger the drone's attack determination.
But she didn't just stare blankly. During the confrontation with the drone, her hand kept turning quietly.
The matrix ring of the torque generator, try to reset the matrix.
But even such a small movement was discovered by the drone.
It immediately flew close, raised its muzzle and pointed it at Manny, while issuing a warning: "Stop!"
Manny was so frightened that she trembled. She was not a soldier after all, and she really couldn't cope with such a situation.
The drone stopped about five meters away from Manny and three meters above the ground, which happened to be the best attack range for the torque blaster.
The scarlet detector swept across Manny's body, and then unfolded a device like a dragonfly's wings from both sides of the drone's main body. It was transparent at first, but after it was fully unfolded, it lit up with white light and emitted high-frequency infrasound waves.
.
Manny was hit from the front, screamed immediately, dropped the torque blaster, covered her ears and looked in pain.
"Ah, no!!"
This "no" message seemed to have an effect. After confirming that Manny was "disarmed", the drone stopped attacking, changed its language mode, and asked: "Chinese?"
Manny breathed heavily. After being stunned for a moment, she nodded and said, "Yes... I am Chinese."
Of course this was a lie, but Manny, who spoke Chinese, didn't think there was any problem.
The drone asked again: "This is a restricted area within the blockade. Please leave immediately."
The restricted area within the blockade...? Where is that place... Hiss... So... this is not the heretical plane I imagined?
Is this still Earth?
While thinking about it, Manny replied: "I didn't break in here intentionally, I just came in accidentally, so... please don't hurt me!"
After being silent for a while, the drone replied in a mechanical voice: "Your body has been destroyed by the factor sequence and must be isolated. Now, get up and I will take you to the isolation area!"
Manny was startled when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but touch her face. Is this brokenness caused by factors?
Isolation... Manny was disgusted with this word, because it would mean that she would quietly wait for death somewhere.
So... Manny stood up silently and quietly waved her right arm.
The drone did not respond to Manny's strange behavior. It still maintained a hovering state and said: "Turn around and move forward under my guidance."
Manny did not turn around, but raised her left arm again and waved it a few times. The movement was very gentle, but this time the drone's muzzle started to rotate.
"Please don't do anything unusual!"
Manny was shocked when she heard this, and her face turned pale, but she already knew deep down in her heart that the drone was in a damaged state. Otherwise, how could it turn a blind eye to the actions on the right and make that strange sound?
The sound of the flute.
Thinking of this, Manny slowly turned around, but at the same time she stepped on the torque blaster under her feet.
Manny's heart rate had increased by 150 when she was doing this, because if she was not careful, the drone would shoot, and she... would definitely die.
But fortunately, the drone's focus has been on Manny's left side. After confirming that Manny turned around, it said: "Follow the cursor."
As he said this, a red dot landed not far from Manny.
Manny laughed when she saw the red dot: 'Where's the funny cat?!'
Then she stepped on the tightening part of the torque blaster with force under her feet. It is the core safety component of the torque blaster. Without the tightening part, the torque blaster will soon become extremely unstable.
state.
usually
This unstable state will collapse quickly, which means that if Manny wants to avoid being affected, the next step is to run away and lie down to protect her head.
In fact, Manny did plan to do this, but she underestimated the drone's reaction speed.
When Manny suddenly ran forward, the rotating muzzle fired immediately, and there was a "bang" sound. Manny felt her heart shake, and her whole body bent into a ) shape in the air, and then she fell down.
On the ground.
When Manny fell to the ground, the energy escaping from the torque blaster attracted the attention of the drone. It rotated its body to detect the drone. As soon as it found the torque blaster, a ball of arc burst out.
Time is fleeting, like the flash of a camera taking a picture.
There was no way for the drone to avoid it. After the electric arc wrapped around its body several times, it disappeared.
The scarlet eyes also dimmed, the rotors stopped rotating, and the drone fell from the sky and fell among the gravel.
…
The desolate mountain range was once again enveloped in thick fog, and Manny, who fell to the ground, was uncertain whether she was alive or dead.
time flies.
After another sunrise and sunset, a heavily armed man came near Manny.
He first checked the condition of the drone, and then found some fragments from the detonation point of the electric torque blaster and placed them in the palm of his hand.
After careful identification, the man smiled, then stood up and walked to Manny's side.
After squatting down and testing Manny's pulse, the man removed a syringe from his chest, switched it several times, and then placed it on Manny's neck.
As the trigger is pulled, the injection is completed.
In less than a second, Manny seemed to have been resurrected. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes.
The man stood up and moved away, leaving Manny to sit up on her own.
After waking up, Manny covered her neck with one hand and touched her heart with the other.
After being stunned for a long time, I noticed a person standing in front of me.
This was the first time she had seen a living human being in more than forty days.
At that moment, no vigilance appeared, only joy remained. However, Manny did not show it. She looked at the man in front of her for a while and then said: "You saved me?"
The man did not speak and just smiled. Half of his face was hidden under a functional helmet. Compared with the infantry equipment on Gaia, it was still a bit bloated, but in the Earth era, such equipment was already very advanced.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Manny couldn't help but feel disappointed. She really wanted to hear a voice, a human voice.
No matter if it was a question, she had had enough of the dead silence here.
After getting up, the man looked at Manny, then took a device from his waist and handed it to Manny.
Manny took it over and took a look. The device was about the size of a cigarette box and heavy to hold. There was a set of three embedded LED lights on the top.
"What is this?" Manny asked.
The man pointed to his face and then made a motion similar to shaving.
Manny was not stupid, and of course she would not think that this guy was gesturing for her to shave. She quickly understood that maybe this was to repair his face.
So Manny took it close to the broken part of her face.
As if sensing the damage caused by the factor sequence, the device lit up and emitted a faint blue light.
Manny looked at it from the corner of her eye, and saw that under the light, some intangible substances were being generated, accompanied by some slight itching. After a while, when Manny touched her face again,
