The source of the bacteria seemed to be a deep pit, which was located exactly in the center of the open space in front of the district hospital. Because the density is too high, the bacteria stick to each other and form almost visible bacterial clumps, filling the round egg-shaped area with a strange and dangerous yellow-green color.
In this regard, the strategy adopted by Jiang Chen was also very simple and crude.
He deployed the survivors to build a simple siege net with a diameter of 1,000 meters on the surrounding rooftops. This happened to be the limit where the bacterial density exceeded the human immune limit. They were also instructed to stay 2,000 meters away from the center of the area, wait until the explosion sounded, and then quickly move to the combat position.
Then he directed another wave of survivors to set up disposable launch bases on twelve different rooftops 2,000 meters away from the center, and deployed a high-energy vacuum bomb as thick as two thighs on it.
The zombies that came from time to time fell under the crossfire on the roof. Jiang Chen was not stingy at all and opened the general ammunition supply in the infantry vehicle to all survivors.
All collected crystals are temporarily stored on infantry vehicles in an accounting manner. After the battle, the captains of each team will come back to get their share. For the post-war settlement of the consumed ammunition, Jiang Chen only charged 50% of the fee, based on the market price of the Sixth Street. After all, this is a common war.
The infantry vehicle parked on the main road and opened fire on the zombies that were coming sporadically under unknown traction.
The closer to the source of the bacteria, the stronger the zombies' combat effectiveness becomes, which is specifically reflected in their running and reaction speed. But no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than bullets. The marksmanship of these survivors was also surprisingly good, and they basically did not engage in close combat with zombies.
"Prepare to attack." Sun Jiao took a deep breath and said on the public channel, and then looked at Jiang Chen.
"receive."
A cheerful and sinister smile flashed across the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth. Then the high-energy vacuum bomb launch terminal was taken out from the back of the infantry vehicle.
[
Launch angle: 75°
Launch horizontal distance: 1300 meters
start up.
]
"Burn it for me!" Jiang Chen pressed [Start] hard.
Twelve missiles trailing white tail flames rose in the distance, arcing towards the round egg-shaped airspace filled with fungi.
When the horizontal distance between the cannonball and the launching base reaches 1200 meters.
A dazzling white light lit up the entire airspace, followed by a deafening explosion that almost shook the ground.
The highly concentrated fuel sucked out all the oxygen in the area almost instantly and burned every inch of airspace mercilessly. No matter how stubborn the bacteria are, there is no way they can survive in this searing heat that can almost melt steel.
When the billowing smoke replaced the flora, only a piece of burned earth and air were left.
Even standing 2000 meters away. The uneven hot and cold air waves can also be vaguely detected.
"Start the gliding posture! Rush in, quickly, quickly!" Sun Jiao shouted on the public channel. Then he took the lead in raising the machine gun in his right hand and rushed out heroically.
The jet-black power armor passed through the billowing smoke and rushed towards the target area at full speed.
Those bacteria were indeed burned, even the unknown bacteria in the nearby area. They were all blown away by the shock wave of the explosion.
They have to be eliminated before the source of bacteria can re-produce and cover this place!
For the T-3 with the engine at full power, the distance of 2,000 meters is only a matter of ten seconds.
However, at this moment, a change suddenly occurred.
The unstable current sound instantly occupied the communication channel.
"What's going on! Damn—"
"emp?!"
The public channel fell into a busy tone, and the electromagnetic shielding triggered by the power armor was activated in an instant, which not only countered the emp, but also isolated all communication signals.
However, under this sudden emp interference, all electronic equipment fell into a temporary paralysis. The most terrible thing was the impact on the armor's balance system. Everyone who was advancing at high speed immediately staggered around, or fell out directly.
"Stop! Turn off the power system!" Electronic communications were blocked. Sun Jiao directly turned on the speaker and shouted.
"Holy shit! My power control system broke down!" Jiang Chen watched helplessly as he broke into the thick fog, then rushed through the terrifying pit, and then crashed into the district hospital.
Cement blocks and glass shards were shattered on the floor.
A strong impact triggers the physical safety device. All the scroll engines were forcibly shut down. Jiang Chen, who was knocked dizzy, struggled to get up from the gravel ground. He only felt that his ribs were almost dislocated by the impact.
Although power armor generally has the function of resisting EMP, short-term effects are inevitable unless the electromagnetic shielding is actively turned on in advance instead of being passively triggered.
But who the hell would think of meeting emp here
Sudden. Jiang Chen felt a warning sign in his heart and reflexively raised his left hand.
Ping!
The violent impact was accompanied by a tooth-aching friction sound. The sharp blade was even embedded in the thickened plastic armor on the arm guard.
The fangs like scimitars opened and closed ferociously, and eyes filled with killing and bloodthirsty
One of the most terrifying melee creatures in the wasteland - Deathclaw.
Jiang Chen was so frightened that he reacted instantly and kicked out suddenly. However, the strong chest of the Death Claw directly received the kick with a force of about one ton, and swung down another claw fiercely, like a decapitating knife and ax, directly striking the fragile neck of the prey.
There was no time to hesitate, and the nitrogen armor on his left arm was instantly activated. The circular air flow like an iron hammer deflected the fatal blow of the Deathclaw, hitting the cement ground two inches away from his head, splashing a bunch of gravel.
Seizing this momentary opportunity, Jiang Chen suddenly restarted the scroll engine, directly adjusted it to the maximum output power, and desperately moved sideways to distance himself from the Deathclaw.
If you miss the first blow, you will naturally hit the second one!
Deathclaw pounced on Jiang Chen without hesitation. However, Jiang Chen was not ambiguous either. Before the minigun could be activated in time, his right hand immediately pulled out the tactical rifle from his waist.
Da da da!
The leaping fire snake smashed the cement to pieces, but there was no reaction when it hit the horny armor in front of the Deathclaw!
But this suppressive shot. It still had a certain containment effect. The instinct of the creature made Deathclaw protect its weak eyes while generally dodging behind the cover from the side, quickly taking a detour towards Jiang Chen's position.
The magazine is empty and there is no time to reload.
After finally standing firm, Jiang Chen immediately threw away the tactical rifle in his hand, pulled out the tactical dagger, and leaned against the wall.
Getting into melee combat with a Deathclaw is an unwise decision, especially against a wall with nowhere to retreat.
but-
Jiang Chen threw away the rifle in his hand. Seizing the opportunity, Death Claw immediately pounced over, the blades of its claws and fingers intertwined. Get ready to tear your prey's chest apart.
However, at this moment, the prey suddenly disappeared out of thin air!
The Deathclaw, which had not yet reacted, slammed into the wall.
[Deathclaw's weakness is that there is only a layer of cortex protecting his spine and his eyes]
In an instant, Jiang Chen, who reappeared on the spot, thrust the dagger backwards without hesitation, and embedded it deeply into Deathclaw's back. Broken its spine.
The area below Deathclaw's head was immediately paralyzed, and he could only roar and open and close his mouth feebly.
Holding the dagger in both hands, Jiang Chen pulled it down hard and opened its back.
Hissed.
Flesh, flesh and internal organs were scattered all over the place, but because they were animals, he didn't feel any nausea at all.
After removing the death claw, Jiang Chen gasped violently and sat back on the ground, his whole body soaked in sweat.
Using two time travels in succession in an instant puts an unimaginably huge load on the body. The tingling nerves almost made him faint.
The whole fight lasted only a few breaths, but he felt the threat of death twice.
The hum of the scroll engine gradually became clearer.
Quickly passing through the smoke, Sun Jiao rushed to Jiang Chen's side. Looking at Deathclaw's body on the ground
"Are you okay?" Sun Jiao suddenly lifted Jiang Chen who was leaning on the ground, opened his mask, and said in a trembling voice.
"Ahem, aren't I still alive? I just used that ability continuously, you know. I will be a little dizzy." Jiang Chen smiled weakly and was hugged through the armor. There is really no sentiment at all.
"You scared me to death, idiot!"
"I can't help it. Who would have thought that we would encounter EMP and so on? Why is there EMP? And why do Deathclaws live peacefully with zombies?" Jiang Chen suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly said.
Deathclaw, whose whole body is filled with killing instinct, has no allies except his own kind in the apocalypse.
All other creatures will be hunted by them, including zombies. Moreover, slow-moving zombies are still their main food. Generally speaking, the innate resistance of heterogeneous species is enough to protect against infection by zombie bacteria, unlike humans who need to be injected with vaccines or genetic agents that enhance body functions.
"Perhaps we can only get the answer by going in. A large number of zombies are surrounding us, as if they want to support this place." Sun Jiao looked at the hole outside the community hospital with a complicated expression.
Orange fire danced in the distance, and violent explosions were heard from time to time.
Jiang Chen managed to stand up, then walked forward and picked up the tactical rifle, reloaded it and hung it back on his waist. The life detector was turned on and the radio radius was adjusted to maximum power.
Dense red dots were moving closer to their defense line.
"You take the remaining eight power armor soldiers to guard this place, and I'll go in—"
"No! You're crazy! Do you know what's inside?" Sun Jiao lost her voice.
"I can leave here at any time but you can't." Jiang Chen looked seriously into Sun Jiao's eyes, "Believe me, I said I can come back, then I will definitely be able to come back."
With the ability to travel through the bracelet, he can escape from any dangerous situation as long as he is not killed in one blow. However, Sun Jiao is different. Although she has rich combat experience and strong individual combat ability, she is still a human being.
And what we are facing this time is a completely unknown situation. Perhaps the troops in the Sixth Block could fill this hole with their lives due to their strong strength, but Jiang Chen didn't.
Even the loss of one powered armor would be an unbearable loss for the Fishbone survivor base. Because in the short term, Jiang Chen would not be able to obtain such powerful weapons again. Even if Zhao Chenwu wanted to help him, he would not dare to do so. After all, it's a bit unreasonable that you lost 10 units of power armor at once, but if you lose a few more units immediately, everyone will suspect that you broke the rules and sold prohibited weapons.
What's more, the output of this kind of thing is already very low, and it can't be bought with sub-crystal.
In this case, I have to go alone.
Jiang Chen had already considered this possibility when he set out.
"" Sun Jiao's lips trembled slightly and she stared at Jiang Chen.
"There's no time to waste. Help me hold on for 2 hours. If I don't come out, this operation will fail. Although it's a pity, those survivors can only give up and use the mobility of power armor to jet jump between buildings. , you can just run back."
Sun Jiao grabbed Jiang Chen's power armor by the collar, raised his face in front of him, and said viciously.
"I won't leave, I will keep my word!"
"Don't be like this, I said this thing is not a threat to me." Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and looked at Sun Jiao's eyes that were staring at him. Even if the power armor is almost destroyed, he can escape to another world and then put the power armor into the storage space to escape from danger.
"Then you can still come out! Can you still return to this world! You, you" That pretty face was twisted with sadness, and the grief-stricken look made Jiang Chen stunned for a while.
yes.
Even if I leave, I'm afraid I'll be in the same place next time. There is no place to repair power armor in this world. If there is no power armor, wait for the floating bacteria to cover the area again.
Maybe if you come back, you will die.
But this has already reached the edge, can we just go back like this? He was unwilling to give in. When the spread of bacteria becomes more serious, the Fish Bone Survivor Base will no longer be inhabitable. However, evacuating here means that all his efforts over the past few months have been in vain.
Damn it, fight it!
There was no time to hesitate. Jiang Chen felt heartbroken, took a deep breath, and then looked directly into Sun Jiao's wavering eyes.
"I swear I'll come back, give me two hours."
"Can"
"Be good." Jiang Chen smiled comfortingly, then reached out and patted her helmet gently.
I will never give up here.
Promising silently, Jiang Chen let go of the stunned Sun Jiao.
"Help me guard the entrance. Once the two hours are up, quickly evacuate into the building and take cover. It's still daytime, and the zombies should stop after the source of bacteria is destroyed. Trust me! I can definitely do it!"
After saying that, turn around.
Taking a slow, deep breath, Jiang Chen jumped into the dark pit. ()<End of chapter-->
