Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 20: race

Views:

Sitting in the front row of the black off-road vehicle, the young man in the old padded jacket turned his head and said eagerly:

"Boss, are you going to catch up now?"

The middle-aged man with a fierce temperament and an old scar at the corner of his right eye shook his head with a smile:

"Don't worry, with their firepower and demonstrated experience, they should be able to support it for a while, and with the size of the Black Marsh Iron Snake, the straight-line speed is definitely not comparable to that of a jeep.

"If we get there too early, we may be attacked by both sides at the same time, which is too dangerous.

"Besides, we have to take this opportunity to make some preparations, Jishun, stop!"

"Yes, boss." The driver was the older man wrapped in animal fur.

The black off-road vehicle stopped immediately, with a ferocious temperament, the middle-aged man with the "Rainstorm" submachine gun pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked to the trunk.

Then, he took off his crumpled black woolen coat and handed it to the companion on the left heavy motorcycle, along with the weapon.

After doing this, the middle-aged man lifted the lid of the trunk, bent down, stretched out his hands, and grasped something.

His face flushed red, the veins on his forehead protruded, and his knees flexed even more, as if he had used a lot of strength.

He stepped back and brought up a tattered square wooden box that was big enough to fit into one person's square wooden box.

With a bang, the wooden box was placed on the ground.

As it was opened, the contents inside were revealed.

This is an iron-black item that looks like armor but has many metal skeletons.

"Ayu, Jishun, please help me." The middle-aged man turned his head and said to the young man in the old padded jacket and the middle-aged man who was in charge of driving.

A Yu and Ji Shun leaned over, and they lifted the thing in the square wooden box without too much effort.

With the pull of gravity, the item quickly unfolded, revealing its complete appearance:

Its appearance is very humanoid, with a metal helmet with crystal goggles, and under the helmet are several pieces of armor that are connected together to protect important pipes and lines.

Under this part of the armor is an iron-black, extremely sturdy, and huge backpack, and around this energy backpack, there are similar cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, radius, humerus, ulna, navicular, femur, patella, Various metal bones of the tibia and fibula, which also have joints, with metal buckles and dense sensors.

Among them, the position of the thoracic spine is implicated in pieces of thick armor, and a grenade launcher and an electromagnetic weapon are embedded in both arms.

This is a military exoskeleton device, and its production capacity has always been insufficient. Even in a major force, only the elite of the elite can be equipped with it. It is a real killer.

It can not only respond to human movements silky through a complex and sophisticated induction system, so that the wearer's strength, speed, and balance ability are far beyond the limits of human beings, but also loaded with a thermal weapon system and a precise aiming system. , auxiliary fighting system, integrated early warning system, anti-virus filtering system and bulletproof armor for important parts.

In addition, just as the invention of thermal weapons reduced the physical requirements of humans in combat, exoskeleton devices can greatly reduce the wearer's consumption, allowing them to continue fighting.

As long as you wear this kind of equipment, it is definitely not a dream to fight a team with only light weapons.

- With superhuman speed and a comprehensive early warning system, the parts of the wearer that are not protected by bulletproof armor are not so easy to hit.

The middle-aged man walked over, and with the help of A Yu and Ji Shun, put on the military exoskeleton device, and fastened the metal buckles of various parts one by one.

Finally, he adjusted the crystal goggles on his metal helmet and activated the gear.

After the integrated system self-check passed, the young man laughed:

"Only 30% battery left, more than two hours of use...enough."

While speaking, his hands covered with iron-black auxiliary skeletons retrieved his own "Heavy Rain" submachine gun very easily, just like it was just a toy and had no weight at all.

"What should I do?" Long Yuehong almost suffocated when she heard the term "Black Marsh Iron Snake".

In this case, he had no experience in this and could only seek answers from Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen.

- He clearly saw just now that Shang Jianyao's long burst of assault rifle failed to cause any damage to the giant python, and only caused some damage to the outer scales.

Combined with the knowledge he had learned before, he suspected that the large-caliber pistol "United 202" and Bai Chen's "Orange" rifle, which could be used as a sniper rifle, could not penetrate the thick multi-layered scales of the Black Marsh Iron Snake. Unless you can hit an unprotected vital position.

As for whether the grenade gun is effective, Long Yuehong can't be sure, but thinks it shouldn't. After all, the main lethality of the grenade lies in the explosion and the splashing of fragments, not the armor breaking.

Jiang Baimian glanced through the rearview mirror:

"Let's race first.

"This guy is not good at this kind of thing, and it will get tired, Jeep won't, as long as the high-performance battery, engine, tires, etc. can hold up, it will not be a problem to run until tomorrow morning."

When Jiang Baimian spoke, Bai Chen didn't slow down the car too much, but just lifted the limit state to prevent malfunctions of various parts of the Jeep.

Obviously, she also agreed to "race" with the Black Marsh Iron Snake and did not want to fight recklessly.

The jeep galloped at a high speed, bumping into rocks and tree stumps from time to time, and it gave people the feeling of flying quickly.

If it weren't for Bai Chen's very good technology and some experience in wild racing, he could always react in time and deal with it correctly, the jeep might have already overturned on the ground, rolled for several laps, and could no longer move.

The huge black swamp iron snake seemed to be provoked. With the help of sparse trees and overgrown weeds, it chased Shang Jianyao and others from the sky and the surface, and refused to give up.

Its speed is definitely not as fast as the "full fire" jeep, but due to terrain problems, Bai Chen can't keep the jeep at a high speed all the time. It must reduce the speed from time to time to avoid obstacles or quagmire. Therefore, although the distance between the two sides is getting wider and wider. Big, but the Black Marsh Iron Snake was never thrown away.

During this process, the Black Marsh Iron Snake opened its mouth twice, sprayed venom and spit poisonous mist, but due to the distance, it failed to affect the gray-green jeep.

After two times, the giant python seemed to have learned to be clever, and stopped trying to attack from a distance, and chased it desperately.

After a few minutes, Bai Chen suddenly stepped on the brakes and pulled the steering wheel.

In the squeak, the gray-green jeep stopped horizontally.

Because Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao had consciously fastened their seat belts during the high-speed driving just now, they were not thrown out, but were pulled when they felt strong inertia.

Before they came back to their senses, Bai Chen said in a deep voice:

"The terrain ahead has changed!"

Jiang Baimian also found this problem:

The front is a dark, quagmire with no edge in sight, deformed trees grow sparsely, and there is absolutely no hard road in the middle for vehicles to pass through.

It's like the big swamp has expanded at some point, swallowing up the original route.

Whether you look to the left or right, you can't find the boundary at present. I don't know how long it will take to drive around, and I don't know if this place will be surrounded by the big swamp.

Just when Bai Chen was thinking about whether to propose to continue the "race" and add the item "circling in circles", Jiang Baimian shouted loudly:

"Shang Jian Yao, get me a metal pole from the trunk.

"Bai Chen, you use the jeep cover as a support point and prepare to snipe the eyes of the black marsh iron snake."

No one questioned, in this flash, everyone chose to trust the team leader and obey her orders.

Shang Jianyao immediately unfastened his seat belt, leaned back, grabbed a metal pole, and handed it to Jiang Baimian, who had already opened the door and got out of the car.

- They saw this thing before, and they have always been a little puzzled, why the team leader did not bring a tent, but brought such a strange thing.

Bai Chen carried the "orange" rifle, went to the hood of the jeep that was hitting horizontally, put the weapon on it, and put his eyes in front of the scope.

After Jiang Baimian took the metal rod with his left hand, he moved his body in place.

The giant python covered with layers of black scales swam away quickly, getting closer and closer.

The surrounding wind seemed to be infected with a stench.

Seeing that the terrifying black marsh iron snake was about to enter the range where it could breathe poisonous mist, Jiang Baimian held the metal rod in his left hand and ran two steps forward.

Her body suddenly stopped, and she threw the metal rod at the Black Marsh Iron Snake.

At the same time, a bright, dazzling, thick arc appeared between her left palm and the metal pole!

The arc got longer and longer, wrapped around the metal rod, and made a zizizi sound.

In an instant, the metal rod turned into a thick silver-white electric light, cut through the sky, and fell to the body of the Black Marsh Iron Snake, like a punishment from heaven.

The Black Marsh Iron Snake sensed danger, but such an attack was not fatal, so it just folded its body and avoided its head.

when!

The metal rod wrapped with countless silver-white arcs hit the long and thick torso of the Black Marsh Iron Snake.

Undoubtedly, with Jiang Baimian's power, it was impossible for this metal rod to pierce the target's thick, multi-layered scales, but the terrifying arc group that came with it erupted!

In his voice, the silver-white light illuminated the surrounding gray-black soil, and countless electric currents instantly spread to every corner of the Black Marsh Iron Snake's body at a speed that could not be stopped.

The huge, weird python suddenly stiffened and froze in place.

Although he didn't know that such a change would happen, Bai Chen, who was already prepared, did not hesitate. After slightly adjusting the direction of the lower muzzle, he firmly pulled the trigger of the "Orange" rifle.

boom!

A bright yellow bullet shot out, heading straight for the cold, dark yellow left eye of the Black Marsh Iron Snake.

The Black Marsh Iron Snake sensed the imminent arrival of fatal danger in advance, but in the state of electric shock, it could only watch it and could not try to avoid it.

With a puff, the bullet sank into its cold eyes with vertical pupils, got into its brain, and rolled wildly.

The electric light quickly subsided, and there was an indescribable, non-snake-like cry from the black swamp iron snake's open mouth.

Its body suddenly collapsed, rolling frantically on the spot, knocking down several trees.

Before long, the huge python stopped moving and lost all movement.

Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, who had blank faces, and smiled and rubbed his left arm with his right hand:

"Electric eel-type biological prosthesis, you deserve it."

Not far from Shang Jianyao and others, a strong-aged man wearing a military exoskeleton device and his companions heard gunshots, screams, and noticed the slight vibration of the ground and the collapse of trees.

The middle-aged man said with a happy expression:

"They are at their most violent and tragic stage.

"Right now, rush!"
