"This is Falcon-I, we have arrived at the target area."
"Roger, this is Falcon-Ii. Falcon-I, turn on the radio life detection device. "
"Roger. Turn on the radio life detection device. "
The fuselage had a fuselage with a heavy machine gun mounted on the rear hatch. The circular vortex air acceleration device on both sides of the fuselage had rippling air waves that made an ear-piercing hum. Inside the cabin were soldiers armed to the teeth. The black power armor was equipped with terrifying individual heavy weapons. The PAC symbol was faintly visible on the side of the right arm, but it was almost completely erased. In its place was the Liuding town badge painted below the symbol.
Helicopter-51, an amphibious transport helicopter installed by PAC in 2153. It mainly served the South Sea Fleet and was a powerful transport equipment for beach landing. But now that the war was over, there was no longer any use for them to land on the beach.
Two pitch-black helicopters maintained a horizontal distance of a kilometer, hovering above a building one after the other.
Wang Shiwu looked at the unknown bacteria density indicator on the outside of the power armor and then looked at the direction of the building outside the window. His face was clouded.
"This is the place."
"The life form matches. The target is inside the building. Falcon-I requesting attack. "
"Denied." Wang Shiwu cautiously stared at the building and then activated the remote communication module of the power armor. "This is the Black Knights. We have arrived above the target creature. Body information unknown. Requesting cannon support."
"Commander received, approved to fire."
The cost of directly attacking was too high. Without even seeing the target's body, Wang Shiwu didn't dare to joke around with the lives of his comrades. Therefore, he carefully chose to request for cannon support.
At least, the target's body would be exposed first.
"Falcon-I, Falcon-Ii, the cannon will arrive in one minute. Please ascend."
"Roger." "Roger."
The two helicopters began to ascend to avoid unnecessary accidental damage. The sunrise left a dim yellow trail on the radiation dust, and the disgusting yellow-green particles permeated the outside of the building. From the outside, the entire area looked like a cloudy egg, and the building was the yolk.
What was hidden in the building?
Wang Shiwu's eyebrows locked together as he stared at the cloudy egg.
…
Why would Liuding Town's elite troops appear at the edge of the city 30 kilometers away? It all started from the war conference two days ago.
Bohai aircraft carrier, command tower, conference room.
"… There is an abnormal life signal in the (412,151) area. Our scientists don't know what it is, but the crystal energy index has reached 90141 points, far exceeding the critical value of 300. Now that it's within our attack range. In order to prevent further evolution and recover crystals, I need you to kill this thing. Do you understand? " A middle-aged man in an old-fashioned PAC military uniform stood in front of the holographic map with his hands behind his back as he ordered.
"Yes! Sir. "
The uniformed soldiers shouted in unison. They were all wearing the PAC Marine Corps uniform, but it was only for the purpose of wearing it.
"Then the meeting is adjourned!"
"Yes!"
The radio life detection device was one of the more commonly used devices in this wasteland. Based on research, the life signal emitted by every life form was divided into segments. Through special radio waves, the frequency of the signal could be detected from a long distance. It was used as a reconnaissance device during the war, a search and rescue device after the war, and a civilian device in the apocalypse …
It wasn't only humans that could be detected. Any life signal of any frequency would be recorded on the electronic screen like a radar. The life signal was proportional to the life energy. Usually, the life signal of a mutated creature would have a much higher frequency than the life signal of a human. Using the frequency of the life signal to measure the crystal content in a creature's body, it was a technology developed after the war. Most of the larger survival bases were equipped with this technology.
When an unnatural life signal was recorded, the nearby survival bases would usually choose to initiate the attack. Because if the mutated creature was allowed to grow, it would be an extremely unstable thing. All mutations were random, and no one could guarantee that something strange wouldn't evolve out of it.
The evolution that would normally take tens of thousands of years could only take a few days in a nuclear crater. Perhaps the evolution would only result in a pitiful creature that only knows how to vomit, or it could result in a dangerous mutated beast.
Creatures with crystal energy over 300 were collectively referred to as extreme mutated creatures.
But it didn't mean they were powerful.
Different from the dangerous species with a crystal energy of 40-300, in terms of danger, extreme mutated creatures were easier to deal with than dangerous species in most cases. For example, just like a human, a person weighing 100 pounds may not be able to defeat a person weighing 200 pounds since they were not in the same weight class. But what about a person weighing 500 pounds? A person weighing one ton? That would be the category of a disabled person, and it would be difficult for them to maintain their own life activities.
Using the same logic, mutated creatures with crystal energy over 300 would be the "disabled" type of monster. Under the influence of radiation and other factors, the coincidental mutation would endlessly expand the life energy. But the increased energy didn't necessarily bring the increased lethality. Everything had a limit. Once it was over, it would become a burden.
Liuding Town had a similar long-range attack before. The target was an unknown creature with a crystal energy of one hundred and ten thousand.
But when the Marine Corps landed, they only encountered a group of ghouls and a large chunk of meat that was torn apart by the ghouls.
And it was a chunk of meat that filled half of the street.
The helpless Marine Corps had to call for the ship's cannons to blast the pile of meat into pieces. Then they used the energy detector to find the crystal that was half the height of a person and dragged it back with a helicopter. As to the meat, because it attracted a large number of ghouls nearby, it couldn't be retrieved. Or else it would be a good choice to turn the organic matter into nutrient supply …
That's right, the extreme mutated creatures were usually trash. Due to economic considerations, it was much easier to kill these creatures than Death Claws or Roshans.
This was the real reason why these selfish people used force to eliminate the mutated creatures. Otherwise, who would send out troops for no reason?
Now, Wang Shiwu was facing this creature.
Although the soldiers began to whisper to each other to clean up and go back to take a shower since the power armor was hot. However, Wang Shiwu still vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he cautiously chose to follow the procedure of bombardment.
The Falcon-I flying in front turned on the laser range finder to provide accurate firing position for Liuding Town's cannon.
…
"Prepare to fire, raise the cannon! Quick! "A few people in uniforms were busy controlling the equipment in their hands. The deck on the side of the ship slowly cracked open as the ten-meter long cannon slowly rose.
With a streamlined and narrow shell, the cannon with a long barrel had a famous name – electromagnetic cannon.
"Linear distance 310203 meters, target thickness determined … Using 10kg bomb, elevation angle 47 °, kinetic energy set …"
A technician with a tablet entered the settings ten meters away from the cannon. The Bohai's fire control system was destroyed by the EMP from the nuclear explosion before the war. After the fixed artillery and other equipment were repaired by the survivors, the fire control circuit was directly connected to a nearby terminal, and the firing was achieved through close range operation.
The technician pressed the [Fire] button.
The blinding blue light filled the cannon barrel as the high-density electric current made a short but piercing hum.
There was no explosion.
There was only the initial sound of the cannon breaking through the sound barrier, then only a faint trail could be seen flying into the sky.
The reaction force on the electromagnetic rail caused the ten-meter cannon barrel to slightly move backward as the liquid cooling device emitted hot steam. A ripple appeared behind the hull of the ship, and it submerged into the waves imperceptibly.
The flathead cannon spun at high speed in the air. The special device inside the cannon relied on the residual electric current in the capacitor to create a temporary vacuum layer around the cannon and completely erased the sound barrier.
Until it was one kilometer away from the target, the temporary vacuum effect disappeared.
The special coating on the surface began to burn as the front of the cannon slightly enlarged.
Dragging a red trail, the cylindrical cannon was like an iron fist as it smashed into the belly of the target building.
…
The deafening sonic boom and the violent explosion spread at the same time as the cannon instantly penetrated the building and embedded into the ground.
As if it was pushed down by a giant hand, the entire building collapsed like an avalanche. The cannon left a path a few meters in diameter in the middle of the circular floating object.
"Direct hit. Beautiful shot. "
"Target shell exposed … Wait! What is that! Fu * k … "
"Falcon-Ii, what happened, please respond! Falcon-I … "
"Falling! Falling! Requesting … help … "(busy tone)
What spread out from the smoke was a giant hand … No, to be precise, it was a giant cannon.
The dark red energy gathered and then released.
The red beam drew a straight line in the air and penetrated the clouds.
The beam did not directly hit any helicopter. However, it paralyzed all the electronic equipment in the entire airspace that was penetrated by the beam …
[Warning! EMP strike]
The electromagnetic shield of the power armor was instantly turned on as it offset the violent electric current. But because it was passively turned on, all the instruments and equipment of the power armor suffered varying degrees of damage.
Because the electromagnetic shield was turned on, the communication signal was naturally blocked.
"DAMMIT! EMP！ Jump! " Wang Shiwu turned on the speaker as he screamed and stabilized his body in the violently rotating fuselage. Then he ran to the hatch with heavy steps and jumped out of the cabin.
The structure of the power armor was relatively compact, and the anti-EMP equipment coverage was also relatively concentrated. After a brief failure, all the electronic components hesitantly returned to normal. But the two helicopters were not so lucky. The high-energy EMP instantly penetrated the electromagnetic shield defense and destroyed most of the electronic equipment.
Wang Shiwu clenched his teeth and stared at the enormous flesh-red "cannon".
What is that? Creatures can also release EMP? Moreover, it destroyed the Type-51 Helicopter without a direct hit …
[Slow down device activated]
When Wang Shiwu saw the clear words on the screen of the electronic helmet, he was relieved.
The knees, waist, and shoulder armor gaps gradually cracked. The small turbine engine hidden under the metal shell spurted out blue flames. Wang Shiwu only felt his body suddenly tighten before he regained the feeling of gravity and descended to the ground at a constant speed.
Passing through the turbid egg, the fully-armed power armor soldiers landed on the ground one after another.
"… Mutated bacteria, density index: 97. Dammit, what the hell is this. "The voice of a comrade came from the public channel.
"Stay alert! Make sure the equipment is sealed. These floating bacteria give me an ominous feeling. " Wang Shiwu inspected the air filtration equipment and found that the bacteria were unexpectedly troublesome. In just a short while, a layer of bacteria had already formed on the outside of the filtration hole.
The bacteria's density had reached the level of visible bacteria. The yellow-green form was nauseating.
Should I retreat first?
But the thought only flashed by. He felt the need to find out what the terrifying cannon was.
Also, the helicopter was already destroyed. Even if Liuding town sent reinforcements, they wouldn't know how to destroy this dangerous thing.
"Pay attention to the filtration hole, prepare to attack!"
"Roger."
Just in case, Wang Shiwu carefully sent the previously recorded footage back to the headquarters. He then switched to the machine gun on his arm and advanced with his teammates.
The headquarters didn't send back any signal. Could it be that the bacteria had a communication blocking effect?
It was possible since the beam just now produced an EMP effect. There was reason to believe that the bacteria were related to the unnatural cannon.
No, there was a problem!
Usually, this type of extreme mutated creature would attract mutants to eat, but there wasn't even a mutant rat nearby!
It was too abnormal!
What's wrong with it?
Just as Wang Shiwu was shocked by his discovery, a cry of surprise came from his teammate beside him.
"Up there! Fu * k, what is that?! "
Wang Shiwu immediately looked up and saw the flesh-red biological cannon was charging with energy again.
There was nothing in the sky, what was it shooting at?
"Fire at it! Quick! "
There was no time to think as Wang Shiwu ordered based on his instinct.
Tatatat!
Twelve power armor soldiers fired at the flesh-red cannon and formed a dense net of bullets. No one knew if the bullets were effective or not, but there was no better way other than to vent their firepower.
The distance of 500 meters was completely within the effective firing range of the machine gun module. The leaping flames made the expressions under each of their masks look sinister. The triangular gun barrels that were rotating at high speed spat out terrifying tongues of flame.
Suddenly, the flesh-red barrel that was half a building shrank abruptly, as if it had stopped charging.
Wang Shiwu was overjoyed. It seemed that the firepower was effective on this monster.
However, there was another explanation for the fact that the charging was suppressed.
That was, the energy was fully charged.
In everyone's horrified eyes, the flesh-red cannon exploded.
The spreading red light engulfed the entire area. Arcs of light swept through everything within a radius of several kilometers, calming all the clamor …
A few flesh-red "meatballs" shot into the distance with the help of the explosion …
…
"Falcon-I, Falcon-Ii, Black Knights offline."
"Life signal change! The target is splitting! "
The commander in the command room had a gloomy expression on his face as his eagle-like eyes stared at the holographic screen in the air.
The 90141 crystal point symbol had disappeared, and what replaced it were 12 splits of life forms with uneven energy that spread in all directions.
The mission failed.
What made the commander's heart ache was not the 12 combatants and 4 pilots. With the virtual reality training system, such talents could be "produced" as many as needed.
But the two transport helicopters and 12 sets of MAX-I power armors totaled 220,000 crystals.
It was a disaster.
What kind of impact would the strange creature bring to the wasteland? Everything was unknown …
