The shock from the explosion could be clearly felt even ten meters away from Lake Mall. The explosion equivalent of two sticky explosives is about 2 kilograms (reference: a hand grenade is about 200 grams). Although there are no fragmentation props such as steel balls, the shock wave of the explosion alone shook the three people in the room. Crushing internal organs is more than enough.
After all, it is the construction technology of a century and a half later. The shopping mall that survived the nuclear explosion did not collapse because of these 2 kilograms of ladders.
Looking at the billowing smoke, Jiang Chen thought that the people inside should be killed by the explosion, so he pulled out the tactical rifle from his waist and prepared to break into the mall.
However, at this moment, miscellaneous shouts suddenly came from the mall.
Obviously these three people were not the only ones in the mall. The explosion alerted other people in the building. The gangsters carrying rifles quickly rushed to the first floor and happened to bump into Jiang Chen who was about to enter the mall.
In terms of reaction, Jiang Chen was one step ahead of these people.
The tactical rifle in his hand was spitting out tongues of fire, and he knocked down three or four of them in one encounter.
However, those gunmen dressed as mercenaries were obviously not fuel-efficient. When they saw that they were facing a piece of powered armor, they all walked through the rows of clothes hangers with their heads buried and leaned behind the nearest bunker.
The rifles in their hands are not the "toys" that CIA showed in the factory last time. They are still a threat to the power armor from the same era. Several rounds of bullets scratched Jiang Chen's front armor. Although they did not penetrate, the huge kinetic energy of the bullets still made him feel uncomfortable, and he had to retreat behind the bunker.
After all, the T-3 type is an airborne powered armor. If it is a land combat type weighing more than 1 ton, then the bullet hitting the body will be called tickling.
"Damn it, I must get a land combat type when I get the chance." The cement slag peeling off the edge of the wall made a clanging sound on the armor shell.
Leaning his back against the bunker, Jiang Chen cursed secretly. Then he took a deep breath to calm down, took out five thermal grenades from the storage space, and threw them into the door.
Several heat mines flew in a parabola towards the bunker where the mercenaries were leaning.
I saw the grenade suddenly paused in the air. The tail flame sprayed from the side changed its direction, and it seemed to have eyes as it rushed towards the heat source - a few decoy bombs huddled in the corner.
boom!
There was an explosion. Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and stuck his head out of the bunker, but several loud bangs suppressed him back.
"Grass."
Jiang Chen cursed and glanced at the damage assessment of the power armor.
Fortunately, the bullets only left a few dents on his helmet and did not cause more damage.
Obviously, those five thermal grenades did not work.
After all, high-tech products are not a rarity here in the wasteland.
There was roaring laughter in the mall, and several mercenaries shouted at Jiang Chen at the top of their lungs. Screaming obscene words.
"Is this all your mother's skills? When I gave birth to you, my butt and buttocks didn't work hard!"
"Hahaha! You're still wearing power armor. I can't find a chicken that's more durable than you!"
"Long Tao, why didn't I notice before that you are quite funny, haha—"
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, and a sinister smile slipped from the corner of his mouth.
The storage space opened, and this time he took out a metal tube the size of a ballpoint pen.
"You can hide from me again!"
Leaping out of the bunker, Jiang Chen threw the "ballpoint pen" in his hand towards the shopping mall hall, and then quickly ran away from the mall entrance.
Seeing Jiang Chen running away. The mercenaries suddenly became anxious and picked up anti-armor weapons to catch up.
"Damn you, if you have the guts, why don't you run away—"
However, this insult did not have time to be uttered. He was swallowed up in the arc of the explosion.
Dazzling light flashed, and the flow of high-energy particles even blurred the holographic screen in Jiang Chen's helmet for a moment. The shock wave knocked down the wall at the door without any suspense, and blew the cement block to the street corner ten meters away.
That's not a ballpoint pen, but a nuclear grenade!
This thing was made from more than 500 kilograms of uranium oxide that Jiang Chen left to Lin Ling. The outside is a lead shell, the inside is a ladder for detonation, and the "pen core" is 1g of uranium oxide drawn into filaments.
Just 1g of uranium oxide! Only 60% participate in the chain reaction, but even so, it has a terrifying power equivalent to 12 tons of ladder! Almost two walls of the first floor of the mall were blown away, leaving only the two back walls of the main structure and some bare steel frames.
"It makes your mouth smell bad." Jiang Chen opened his mask. He spit on the ground fiercely, and then put his mask back on. The power armor's air filtration system was activated.
Even the radioactive fallout produced by the explosion of 1g of uranium is still not to be underestimated. Especially in such an airtight space. You have to be careful if the amount of radiation exceeds the threshold.
Walking forward and looking at the miserable state of the shopping mall, Jiang Chen couldn't help but secretly sighed.
Because the actual combat effectiveness was uncertain and the handling of uranium oxide was not easy, only one grenade of this kind was made. While marveling at the power, Jiang Chen also secretly made up his mind to ask Lin Ling to find a way to make more when he went back.
Stepping into the mall, the mercenaries who had been clamoring before could no longer find the complete corpses. It's hard to say whether they died because their body fluids were instantly heated to boiling point by thermal radiation, or whether they died from being crushed by the shock wave.
After stepping over a ball of dark rags, Jiang Chen didn't even bother to take out his gun and walked toward the stairs.
No one could survive an explosion of this magnitude.
However, at this moment, a warning flashed through his mind, and he instinctively jumped back and started the two pairs of vortex engines behind him.
A blue arc of light flashed, pushing him back toward the door. Almost at the same time, a figure quickly fell from the hole in the ceiling, hitting him hard where he was.
boom!
In the dust, he saw a faint blue laser sword and a face with half of its head cut off. Under the burned surface, you can see parts full of mechanical texture.
What the hell is this? ! Cyborg? !
Jiang Chen's heart was shocked. He quickly retreated and drew out the tactical rifle from his waist. The man rushed over without any hesitation.
"Who the hell are you!" Roaring angrily, Jiang Chen pulled the trigger to the end.
This guy is obviously not a human!
Bullets burst out instantly, forming a fire net.
The man didn't answer, but the lightsaber in his hand changed.
Like an open umbrella, the light particles peeled forward from the sword body, melting the bullets that were fired.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
It can melt steel-core ammunition, and the C-shaped steel power armor will be hung up if it wants to withstand it! Although the surface of the power armor is coated with a scattering coating and has a certain resistance to laser bombs, he does not dare to bet on whether it can protect against the "continuous output" laser sword.
"Click-"
The bullet is empty!
The man didn't give Jiang Chen time to change the magazine. The light particles gathered into a sword again and stabbed towards Jiang Chen with a simple sword dance.
In this flash of lightning, Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and his pupils tightened.
"Wushuang!"
He had never used this power beyond madness since his last fight with lead mutants.
It was like being immersed in cold water from head to toe, and all emotions were thrown out of the body.
Jiang Chen felt that his brain was as clear as ever at this moment!
"Nitrogen shield."
After chanting silently, Jiang Chen unfolded the ring worn on his left arm.
The violent airflow exploded instantly, and the high-pressure nitrogen formed a circulation, blowing away the high-heat light particles and cutting off the lightsaber that touched his chest.
With the instrument parameters reflected in his pupils, Jiang Chen suddenly raised his steel boots and kicked on the man's broken face. At the same time, he extinguished the vortex engine and used the reaction force to stand firmly on the ground.
Seeing that the lightsaber was useless, the man simply threw it aside, took out a dagger from his pocket, and thrust forward again.
Seeing that there was no time to change the magazine, Jiang Chen simply threw away the rifle in his hand, also pulled out the dagger tied to the waist of the power armor, and faced him head-to-head.
However, the moment the two daggers connected, the dagger in the man's hand cut open the dagger in Jiang Chen's hand without any resistance.
Although he was surprised by the sharpness of the dagger, Jiang Chen did not panic and turned sideways to avoid the blow.
"Particle vibration cutting dagger?"
Muttering to himself, Jiang Chen stepped back to avoid the man's second blow.
The buzzing sound at the time of contact did not escape his ears. He had heard Sun Jiao mention this kind of thing before, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.
It is said that this thing can cut C-shaped steel like tofu.
His back was pressed against the wall.
Seeing that Jiang Chen had no way to escape, the man only half-opened his mouth with a smile, and chopped off the dagger in his hand.
At the same time, Jiang Chen raised his left arm seemingly helplessly. (.)
