Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Sniper, Madness, Unknown Identity
Northern Suburbs?
Isn't this the Northern Suburbs?
A strange atmosphere permeated the battlefield.
"Subtitles, subtitles..."
Worried about missing the key plot, Weiwei muttered and wanted to open the VM.
Sisi, who was behind the bunker next to him, frowned, and the PU-9 in his hand had already aimed at the monster in armor.
This guy gave her a feeling that something was wrong.
"It doesn't seem to be a human." Yaya, who was dressed as a tin can, stared at the guy for a long time and suddenly spoke.
"Not a human?" Sisi was slightly stunned.
What is that?
At this moment, the group of predators on the opposite side shouted at the armor standing in the center of the battlefield.
"Who are you?"
"Are you in the same group as those blue coats?"
The armor did not respond.
Wuchou cursed, but did not dare to act rashly.
He felt an unusual aura from the man in front of him, and the unknown fear made him undecided whether to take action.
Just as his mind was spinning rapidly, the younger brother lying behind the bunker beside him didn't think too much and aimed his machine gun directly at him.
"MLGB! The boss is asking you a question!"
"Wait"
Wu Chou was startled and was about to stop him, but as soon as he said half a word, a thick and long tongue of fire had already shot out of the muzzle.
The bullets whizzed towards the iron lump, making a clang clang clang sound when they hit the steel, and the iron lump raised its arm to block it.
However
The firepower was too strong.
In just a few seconds, the iron lump was hit by more than 20 bullets.
Although it didn't penetrate the steel plate, it still felt bad. It didn't even make a muffled groan, and it stumbled into the pit beside it.
Wuchou: "?"
Sisi: "???"
Tail: "giao!"
Shocked.
Just like that? !
It's down already? ? ?
"Fuck you, I let you show off!"
The little brother who fired the gun cursed and spitted triumphantly outside the bunker.
Wuchou, who had half a sentence in his stomach, reacted quickly and shouted loudly.
"Shoot!"
The gunshot rang again!
Bullets whizzed in the air.
Crouching and moving to another bunker, Sisi raised the Pu-9 in his hand and fired a burst of bullets at the opposite bunker, suppressing the machine gun briefly.
"Grenade!"
Yaya seized the opportunity and threw the grenade with a shout.
The grenade with a wooden handle drew a parabola and flew over a distance of 50 meters and hit the back of the concrete pit.
With a loud bang!
The flying gravel and the exploding flames pushed back the predator who was about to rush up.
Although it is inconvenient to shoot with this armor, it is still very useful to use projectiles. The exoskeleton has its own strength bonus, and the distance of the grenade that could only be thrown 20 meters away has been doubled.
However...
After all, grenades are not her patent, and soon the opponent also threw two over.
Although the distance is not enough, the explosion is still five meters away from the bunker, but the shrapnel and shock wave still scraped on the steel armor, and the unprepared crow fell backwards to the ground with a whimper.
"Who, who can help me!"
"Damn... this turtle shell is too heavy!"
The joints between the shoulder armor and the chest armor are welded too tightly. She wanted to stand up by herself with her hands on the back, but she couldn't get up just an inch after lifting her butt.
This thing really looks like a turtle shell!
Yaya's face was full of murderous intent, and she gritted her teeth tightly.
Damn it!
If you believe in Mosquito again, I'm a dog!
Facts have proved that equipment that has not been tested in actual combat is easy to fail at critical moments.
Especially the things sold by "profiteers".
Xu Shun and Wang Zhong, who were behind the bunker on the other side, fired back, but they didn't understand what she was shouting, and they couldn't see the situation in front of them.
Zhimahu understood it and ran up in a hurry.
"I'll help you!"
The bullet whizzed past the cat's ears, and she was so scared that she quickly crouched down.
At this moment, the sound of the sniper rifle rang again.
With a snap, the predator who had just leaned out of the bunker and wanted to move forward was shot in the chin, and blood and teeth flew all over the ground.
Startled by the sound of the gunshot, the surrounding predators scattered and dodged, and the offensive just launched was stopped again.
Xu Shun and Wang Zhong, who were guarding the half window on the southwest side, were shocked and a look of joy appeared on their faces.
"It's reinforcements!"
"That sniper is ours!"
Although they didn't know who it was, thanks to that person's help, their pressure was much less.
Due to the deterrence of the sniper rifle, the offensive of those predators was obviously much more conservative, and they didn't dare to leave the bunker and move forward at will.
Sis put down the PU-9 in his hand, picked up the sickle assault rifle on his back again, and muttered softly.
"These people are wearing bulletproof vests... The penetration of 9mm pistol bullets is too weak. It would be great if P90 could be made."
Tail turned his face in surprise.
"Huh?! Is there a difference?"
Sis said with a subtle expression.
"It's okay, anyway, you have always used that LD-47, which is pretty good."
Tail said proudly.
"Of course I have. I have read the strategy guide! The Scythe assault rifle is the most powerful!"
Sis: "..."
Is this a blessing for a fool?
However, it is better to read the strategy guide than not to read it at all.
Wuchou glanced at the tall building on the southwest side and cursed.
"Hurry up!"
Hearing the boss's urging, the five predators immediately quickened their pace and walked along the collapsed concrete wall beside the building to the tall building where Ye Shi was.
Sensing the murderous intent downstairs, Ye Shi saw that he could not escape, so he simply stopped running and took down the thermal imaging device and hid it in the drawer of the cubicle.
Equipment worth more than 2,000 silver coins!
It's okay if the person dies, but it's a big loss if the equipment explodes!
The direct combat power of the perception system is not strong. If you insist, it is only slightly stronger than the intelligence system with innate strength defects. Intuition can occasionally help him avoid a fatal blow, but he still can't avoid it when he should.
The perception of killing intent can at most help him lock a general direction and distance, and thus infer the direction in which the opponent may attack.
This talent is very important in team battles, especially before entering the battlefield, it can effectively judge whether the opponent is aware of his presence.
However...
In a melee with killing intent everywhere, the role of this talent is very limited. As soon as the gun is fired, anyone who is not blind will know where he is.
After all, he is not Lao Bai, who is not as strong as an ordinary person, and has rich knowledge and experience in outdoor survival. He is not as good as Fang Chang and Kuang Feng, one of whom is flexible in thinking and the other is calm and rational enough.
Maybe...
It is still a bit hasty to come alone.
"MMP! I thought this guy was so powerful!"
Glancing at the iron lump lying in the mud pit, Ye Shi cursed, calculated the time for the mercenaries to go upstairs, and fired another shot out of the window.
At this moment, a gunshot was heard in the distance, which startled Ye Shi. He thought there was a sniper who had missed him, but he soon realized that there was no killing intent to lock on him, and the bullet was not aimed at him.
A scream was faintly heard downstairs.
He approached the window and looked downstairs. A body was lying at the main entrance of the office building.
Fang Chang? !
No...
That guy doesn't need a sniper.
The gunshot was not far away, about 600 meters away in a straight line, and the direction was north-west. It sounded like LD-47j.
Ye Shi's eyes lit up.
No matter who it was.
The gunshot must be from friendly forces!
The looters were a little confused by the gunshot. They probably didn't expect that there would be two snipers hiding in such a small place.
"Fuck! It's endless!"
Wu Chou, who was lying behind the bunker, cursed loudly, and he had begun to have the idea of retreating.
His number was twice that of the other side, but in less than half an hour, eight of them had lost their combat effectiveness, while the other side was only slightly injured.
Especially that damn sniper!
Not only did he suppress the squad on his left, forcing him to split five people to deal with him, but he also killed one of his generals!
Wu Chou felt a pain in his heart as if blood was dripping.
However, just as he was hesitating whether to retreat, gunshots suddenly rang out from behind them, and bullets rained down like raindrops, falling behind their positions.
Caught off guard, a mercenary leaning against the corner was killed on the spot, and the machine gunner who was shooting in the bunker was shot into a sieve on the spot, and everyone was caught off guard.
Several mercenaries in the back row immediately turned their guns to fight, but the overwhelming shouts of killing came, leaving a trace of fear on everyone's face.
"Fuck!"
"It's their reinforcements!"
The opposite position was in chaos.
Sisi quickly saw a clue and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Tail next to him also noticed it and shouted excitedly.
"Oh, reinforcements are coming!"
Yaya was surprised.
"Huh?! How many hours does it take to get here from the outpost?"
"They should be coming from Bethe Street," Sisi listened quietly for a while, nodded to confirm his judgment, "Well, it should be Bethe Street, they are shouting in human language."
Reinforcements have arrived at the battlefield!
Both NPCs and players were very motivated.
Wang Zhong and Xu Shun exchanged glances, took out smoke bombs and threw them out, preparing to cooperate with friendly forces to launch a pincer attack on the group of predators.
Xu Shun tied a bandage on his arm to stop the bleeding, inserted a bayonet under the muzzle of the assault rifle, and prepared for close combat.
At this moment, the short-haired girl had already rushed out, excitedly shouting words he couldn't understand.
"Oh oh oh! Ulla!"
"Awei, wait a minute"
Looking at the rushing tail, Sisi just wanted to stop it, but was still a step slower. The agile figure was like a flexible rabbit, avoiding the whizzing bullets and drilling into the smoke that filled the battlefield.
Too fast!
Sisi sighed helplessly and lowered the brim of his helmet.
"Forget it, let's go together."
Seeing that the two big guys not far away had already rushed, Zhimahu looked at Yaya next to him nervously.
"Are we going to go?"
"Go!"
Her fist knocked against the angular breastplate, and Ya Ya gave her a reliable look and closed the visor of her helmet.
"Follow me closely!"
Zhimahu was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously and held the Pu-9 in his hand tightly.
"Ah, ah!"
At this point, the battle was no longer suspenseful.
There were about thirty guards on Bet Street, all equipped with automatic weapons, wearing black coats uniformly distributed by Shelter No. 404, and trained at Changjiu Farm.
Although this was their first time on the battlefield, their strength was not weak.
Before becoming guards, they were experienced hunters. This area from the northern suburbs to the city was like their own home to them.
Yu Xiong, who led the charge, shouted loudly as he fired a burst of bullets at the predators lying behind the wall with his LD-47 in his hand.
"Surround them!"
"Don't let these bandits get away!"
Faced with attacks from both sides, the Marauders' offensive instantly turned from an advantage to a passive one, not to mention that there were sniper rifles blocking the two wings of their position in the distance, leaving them with no place to escape.
Smoke filled the air.
Gunshots were everywhere!
Wu Chou and his men, who were separated and surrounded, could only fight on their own.
Seeing his men being knocked to the ground one after another, Wu Chou's eyes widened and his eyes were about to burst.
"I'm going to chop off your heads!"
Suddenly, he roared in anger, and his muscles suddenly swelled, causing his leather jacket and the bulletproof vest on the outside to bulge.
Hostages?
Commissions?
All of you go to hell!
Seeing the leader go berserk, the mercenaries around him were scared and dodged.
They knew very well that once their boss became like this, he would basically be the kind who would not recognize his relatives, and no one could stop him.
"Oh, you are Bo SS!"
The tail rushed to the predator's position, his eyes lit up, raised the muzzle and swept over, but he didn't expect that the man was not slow at all, stretched out his hand to grab the steel bar outside the concrete block, and lifted it up to block the bullet.
Large pieces of cement fragments peeled off the concrete block, and the full-power rifle bullet hit it, but the man didn't move at all, not shaking at all.
"Fuck! This power is too crazy, right?!"
20 points of strength? !
No, it might be 25 or even 30
What surprised the tail even more was that this nearly half-ton cement block was actually thrown by him in his hand.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough to avoid this fatal blow.
However, the man's hand did not stop at all. He pulled down the street lamp next to him and rushed towards her with a roar.
The whistling lamppost hit the concrete wall. Tail, who was dodging backwards, had no time to reload and could only pull out his pistol.
However, several shots were fired at him, but they were all blocked by the bulletproof vest. The only shot hit his arm, but the man was as if nothing had happened!
"Oh my god! This wave of SS is too strong!"
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Tail, who was already leaning against the wall, could only grab the rifle hanging on her neck again and point the bayonet at the monster walking towards her.
"Warning you, this is a bayonet coated with poison!"
Wuchou, with red eyes, could not understand or hear anything at all. He was in a frenzy and just wanted to crush everything he saw.
Glancing at the half-length of the lamppost that was more than three meters long, Tail swallowed his saliva and quickly looked left and right, looking for a direction to escape.
But there was none.
Street fighting is different from forest fighting. There are obstacles everywhere, and there is little room for maneuver. If you take two steps back, there will be no way to go.
"Damn it."
We are all awakened, why is this guy's ability so buggy!
Is it because of a higher level?
Just when Tail pulled out the grenade and prepared to fight, a shout came from the side, and the armored Crow rushed out of the smoke like a tank.
"Ahhh!"
However, the SS obviously found her, and without even a glance, he swung the street lamp in his hand and hit the steel plate on her chest heavily.
There was a dull sound, like a bell.
Tail looked straight ahead and saw that Crow, who had just rushed out of the fog, flew up and fell backwards.
Fortunately, there was a layer of steel plate blocking it.
If this hit a person, it would only break all the bones, right? !
"Are you okay?"
"Ahem, I'm fine... Damn, it's stuck."
"?"
The man took back the street lamp, probably intending to kill the most threatening tail first, and took a step forward. Almost at the same time, dense rain of bullets swept out from the thick fog.
"Ah, ah!"
Zhimahu, holding the Pu-9 submachine gun, shouted to overcome panic while pulling the trigger to the bottom.
Dozens of bullets were poured out in just a few seconds. Although the hits were touching, there was no essential difference between submachine guns and spray guns at this distance.
There was a bloody mess on his shoulder, Wuchou roared in pain, and smashed the street lamp in his hand towards Zhimahu.
And at this moment, a sharp blade suddenly drilled out of his chest.
In an instant, blood was like a pillar!
Wu Chou's eyes widened, and he vomited blood. He was about to turn around to deal with the man behind him, but he saw the bayonet that had drilled out of his chest suddenly twisted and directly made a hole in his body.
After all, the awakened are also flesh and blood, and they can't resist the pain that seems to be able to take away the soul.
Bloodshot faded from Wu Chou's eyes.
He lost his strength and held the bayonet with both hands. He struggled desperately for a while, but eventually lost his strength and fell heavily forward to the ground.
Looking at Sisi standing behind the man, Wei Ba said in surprise.
"Si!"
"Oh, Wei."
He freed his hands to say hello, and Sisi, who was out of breath, took a look at her condition.
"Are you okay?"
"Hehe, it's okay," Wei Ba scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "although I almost went back to OB!"
"It's okay, thanks to Wei for attracting firepower, but... don't rush so fast next time."
The talent continued to end.
The full power gradually faded from her arms. Sisi took a deep breath, pursed her lips into a w shape, and pulled the bayonet out of the man's back with force.
Blood came out along with the bayonet.
Staring at the body that was bleeding like a fountain, Sisi muttered.
"This muscle is too strong."
Is it the strength system?
Or the constitution?
Or a completely different system.
In short, even with "balance" turned on, she almost didn't pierce this guy.
It's a pity that this game doesn't display the NPC level, otherwise Sisi estimated that this guy must be at least level 20, maybe even level 25.
Although there is a suspicion of picking up heads...
But this should barely be considered as killing monsters above the level, right?
...
On the other side, inside the building.
Crouching at the entrance of the corridor, Ye Shi aimed the Pu-9 submachine gun in his hand at the exit of the safety passage not far away.
The other party lost his sight and the killing intention had disappeared.
However, Ye Shi could sense the hurried footsteps coming from downstairs.
"...Are there four left?"
His index finger rubbed the trigger.
Ye Shi nervously waited for the other party to go upstairs.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of rapid gunfire in the safety passage, followed by the sound of people shouting and explosions.
When everything calmed down, the footsteps moved upstairs again. When Ye Shi saw the man who appeared at the exit of the safety passage, his jaw almost dropped to the ground in surprise.
"Fuck! Lao Bai?!"
Putting the gun behind his back, Lao Bai smiled at him and said.
"The safety is off, be careful of accidental discharge."
Ye Shi smiled embarrassedly, put the gun away, and walked towards Lao Bai.
"Fuck... how did you follow me?"
"Kuangfeng said you didn't save the game, so I guessed you probably followed him."
Walking out from behind Lao Bai, Fang Chang glanced at the sniper rifle on his back and laughed and teased.
"Oh, all the accessories are removed?"
"Aren't you afraid of breaking it? You can't use a scope at this distance..." Ye Shi coughed dryly and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, how did you find me? I remember I turned off the coordinate sharing."
Fang Chang said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, you must be following the caravan anyway. Kuangfeng was going to come too, but he has classes tomorrow morning, so I asked him to go back and lie down."
Ye Shi suddenly remembered that there was still a firefight below, and said immediately.
"By the way, there is still fire below"
Lao Bai said with a smile.
"It's over."
Ye Shi was stunned.
"It's over?"
"Yes," Fang Chang nodded, "Almost as soon as the battle broke out, the guards of Beth Street came to reinforce here, and they should have arrived by now."
As he was talking, the gunshots outside suddenly became more intense, and the sound of people shouting and killing in a joint language could be heard faintly.
There are not many guards on Beth Street, but that is only relative to the scale of Changjiu Farm.
A group of experienced old hunters who have received military training may not be weaker than those predators in combat effectiveness.
Besides, this is their home ground.
"By the way...you have arrived a long time ago?"
Fang Chang: "Almost, anyway, when you fired the gun, we had been watching for a while."
Ye Shi: "Fuck! Why don't you go up?"
Fang Chang laughed.
"Isn't this giving you a chance to show off? You don't have to blame me for stealing your head."
Ye Shi blushed and argued.
"Can I call that showing off? I'm just worried..."
"I understand," Lao Bai patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "We were also worried about you, so we followed you. Originally, Fang Chang and I didn't plan to take action, but in the end Fang Chang couldn't help it."
Fang Chang coughed lightly and said.
"It's not that I couldn't help it. One of the four people who went upstairs before was an awakener, and his strength was not weak. I always feel that this group of people is not like predators."
"Well," Lao Bai nodded, thoughtfully, "I guess they are mercenaries. Their fighting style is very similar to the group we met at the entrance of Garden Street subway station before."
"And they are stronger and have more people... but their organization is much lower. Unlike the previous group, they are not only divided into three teams, but also have close cooperation between teams and radio communication." Fang Chang thought for a moment, "Could it be that our business has been targeted? The gangs in the slums?"
Lao Bai said.
"Could it be that you think too much? Maybe Brother Guang just raised the difficulty."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"By the way," Ye Shi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Who fired the shot just now?"
"That shot?"
Lao Bai and Fang Chang looked at each other and looked at him with strange expressions.
"Which shot are you talking about?"
Ye Shi said anxiously.
"LD-47j! There were five looters or mercenaries downstairs, but a mysterious man helped me with a gun."
Lao Bai thought for a while and shook his head.
"I didn't notice it. There were gunshots everywhere."
Fang Chang: "Compared to this, should we go down and join them? The battle seems to be over soon."
Lao Bai looked at Ye Shi.
"You decide."
Ye Shi hesitated for a while and whispered.
"Uh... I suddenly remembered that I haven't saved the game yet."
Lao Bai: "..."
Fang Chang: "..."
Seeing his teammates not talking, Ye Shi got anxious.
"Fuck! What do you two mean by that expression?"
Fang Chang looked aside subtly.
"Nothing."
After all, Lao Bai was honest. He sighed in front of him, shook his head and turned away.
"That's it."
Ye Shi: "???"
...
A block one kilometer away.
The azure power armor quietly stopped on the street.
A hyena emerged from the ruins, just shook off the snow on its body, and was frightened by the big guy, turned around and hid in its den.
Chu Guang ignored it, just quietly looked at the floating window projected in the field of vision.
The green dots on the map have surrounded the red dots hiding in the ruins one by one, and then left a red cross to confirm the kill or capture.
The battle is over.
The rest is to finish it.
At this time, brisk footsteps came from the main entrance of the bank building next to it.
"Done."
Xia Yan, who walked down the stairs, whistled at the blue iron lump. A semi-automatic rifle was carried on her shoulder, and her face was full of ease.
Chu Guang turned off the holographic floating window and praised her.
"Well done."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Having not traveled far for a long time, Xia Yan seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a beaming face: "By the way, if you are so worried, why don't you send someone more reliable?"
Chu Guang: "What is a more reliable person?"
"For example, that... uh, I can't remember what it's called, and your players' names sound too weird." In fact, Xia Yan didn't know who was more reliable, but her intuition told her that there should be quite a lot.
However.
This kind of thing can't be decided by intuition.
Guessing what Boss Xia was thinking at the moment, Chu Guang smiled faintly.
"The two teams of Mole and Edge have gone to Honghe Town. There are a total of 20 awakened people, which basically concentrate the combat power of the T1 and T2 echelons of the shelter. They have to face predators that are ten or even a hundred times more than them."
"Midnight Killer Chicken and other 121 awakened people are in the area from Yumu District to Yuanxi Town. There are monsters and death claws that are more dangerous than mutants to be cleaned up. We need to gain a foothold in the north to defend the fertile land from Yumu District to Linghu. Later, depending on the situation, they may be sent to Honghe Town."
"What you see is just a player encountering a little difficulty, and there are more than ten tasks that are far more dangerous and important than this. This route has been walked twice by the T0 team, 2 T2 echelon players, 1 perception player with a high level ranking, a guide, a translator, and a bear. The only risk is the possible emergency."
"They are not weak. They will have a difficult problem. Other T2 teams will also have a difficult problem if they encounter it. If they are wiped out, they will be wiped out."
Xia Yan was surprised.
"You have so many awakened people?"
Chu Guang nodded.
"Well, but... not all awakened people are suitable for fighting. Our 'players' may be easier to awaken, and their abilities and experience can be inherited well, but they still need to practice more to become stronger."
For example, Makabazi.
Although he is a strength system, his basic talent is "plant talker". His talent after awakening is just an enhancement of the talent of "plant talker".
In theory, this is more like a perception system talent, but this world is not a real game after all. Maybe the residents of Shelter No. 404 who are only enhanced are outliers.
Xia Yan also knows a little about the players' "resurrection", but he doesn't feel too strange.
Are there not enough strange things in this wasteland?
Listen to the mercenaries bragging, there are mutants on the East Coast who can be resurrected, even if there is only a little brain left.
Some even say that the mayor of Boulder City is an old monster who never ages or dies. After all, most people know that his name is Fang Ming, but they don't know what the previous mayor's name is.
But what does it matter?
These rumors can neither affect the mercenaries getting up to work tomorrow, nor the immortality of that adult.
The era of being able to talk people to death has long passed.
"So you plan to train them?"
"You can understand it this way."
Chu Guang didn't expect Boss Xia to understand the concepts of "M-mo RPG", "players", and "planners" that do not exist in this world. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. It is enough to do things within their own capabilities.
Of course, what Chu Guang really wants to say is that I am just a small planner, not the boss of the players. If you can't stand this difficulty, you might as well play connect the dots.
In order to take care of the game experience of most people, he has used the two thresholds of level and contribution points to control the difficulty of the game within a relatively reasonable range.
To be honest, you can't blame the planner for death, right?
There are so many unreasonable things in Earth OL!
Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Then why did you come anyway?"
"Because I considered the second possibility," Chu Guang said casually, "The attack on the Niu Ma team before was more like a test. This is the conclusion I came to after discussing with Vanus. Logically speaking, the four awakened people had zero combat losses and only suffered a few injuries, which should have made the other party retreat, but plans cannot always keep up with changes."
Xia Yan: "Do you know?"
Chu Guang: "Know what?"
Xia Yan said jokingly.
"You look like an old father now."
Have you seen what your father looks like?
Just talking nonsense there.
Chu Guang rolled his eyes, ignored this guy, and walked towards the battlefield that had ended.
"Hey," Xia Yan caught up with him, like a hundred thousand whys, chattering behind him, "Didn't you say you couldn't go to join in the fun? Why did you still go?"
Chu Guang replied casually and closed the visor of his helmet.
"There's a piece of iron that's joining in the fun, and the guards don't know what to do with it."
"I'll go see what that thing is."
