Chapter 1146 The Last Line of Defense, the Voice on the Radio!

The transmission speed of radio microwaves is roughly the same as the speed of light and electromagnetic waves.

Almost the next second after Xiao Yang pressed the send button, it had covered every corner within 300 kilometers.

Of course, this is in the absence of obstructions.

If the receiver is on the ground or in a building, even if the distance is only one meter or half a meter, the microwave will consume its own energy in the reflection and cannot transmit the signal.

"It's done, the next step is to build an outpost camp."

After setting the radio's transmission mode to continuous transmission for 24 hours, Xiao Yang took out the rifle under the seat and jumped out of the car briskly.

Huh.

About 20 centimeters of snow directly covered the ankles.

Compared with the coarse snow on Earth, the snowflakes in the wasteland are very fine and dense, and stepping on them is like stepping on cotton.

After walking around the surrounding terrain, the six guards who were scattered also came back with the news.

"Captain, there should be no survivors around here."

"Yes, most of the footprints left behind should be from radioactive beasts, and no traces of humans were seen."

"There are more footprints on the side close to the mountain. Should radioactive beasts migrate into the mountain?"

"I found a road that doesn't seem to be formed naturally."

"Radioactive beasts? Road?"

Xiao Yang frowned and turned around, his eyes sweeping towards the snow-capped mountains shrouded in the hazy moonlight.

In fact, it is not so appropriate to describe it as a snowy mountain.

The highest mountain here is no more than 300 meters, and it should be described as a hill when looking down from a high altitude.

And between the mountains, under the snow, there is a road about six meters wide into the mountains.

After removing the snow on it, although the mountain road is bumpy, the remaining traces of asphalt can be vaguely identified.

"It can be basically confirmed that this should be the terrain that the game dropped from Blue Star."

The mountains that should not have appeared here, everyone had previously speculated that it might be a change caused by magnification.

But now, this road into the mountain has clearly given a conclusion.

"Wait, Captain, look!" A guard was still digging through the snow on the ground, trying to find more traces.

But when he looked up, he saw a fire flickering in the mountains not far away, and black smoke rising into the sky.

Is there someone?

In an instant, all the team members looked up in surprise.

Sure enough, it was extremely obvious in the dark night. A red and black column of fireworks went straight to the sky, forming a sharp contrast with the white snowflakes around it.

"Hurry, get in the car, it's business time!"

From the time the radio was turned on to now, it has been at most half an hour.

When Xiao Yang thought that he could find survivors so quickly, he couldn't help but get excited.

And the veterans from the Pingtan shelter in the team rushed into the car without looking back.

The search and rescue team also has business rewards. The more survivors they find, the more rewards the territory will give.

Players may not care about what the rewards are because of the route, but for veterans who have left their homes.

Making more money is the only way for them to take root.

"Team one advances, team two sets out in five minutes to provide cover."

"According to our training, if it is a conflict between humans, do not participate first.

"If it is a fight between humans and radioactive beasts, intervene directly."

Xiao Yang took a few deep breaths and ordered calmly.

The rescue information on the radio seems bold, but in fact it is the result of careful testing.

If the Blue Star people receive the signal, they will have cognitive impairment because of the words "game" and "player" in it, and then subconsciously regard it as a noise band without information.

Only Earth players can receive the signal normally and hear the rescue information.

And according to the current strength level of the survivors, it is too much to worry that they will pose a threat to a trained armed team.

It is already cautious to divide into two convoys, one in front and one behind to take care of each other. The decision was made after careful consideration of multiple dangers.

Soon, along the mountain road, the first Bailideng sped towards the direction of the black smoke.

Five minutes later, the second one followed closely behind, serving as a security vehicle in the rear.

What made people laugh and cry was that not long after entering the mountains, several radioactive beasts, startled by the noise, rushed out from the shadows on both sides and wanted to launch an attack.

However, when they saw the speeding Bailideng and the machine guns above that had not been retracted.

The fear rooted in their genes immediately frightened these radioactive beasts and they staggered and ran away with their tails between their legs.

"Maybe being smart is not a bad thing. "

After all, the wasteland is not a real game. Even if they are on the training ground soldier route, killing radioactive beasts with guns will basically not give experience.

Now these radioactive beasts are sensible, which saves the effort of alerting the enemy.

However, what Xiao Yang didn't know was that in the place where the fire was rolling on the mountain, someone also had a similar idea as him.

Time jumped to an hour ago.

The more than 200 radioactive beasts guarding the entrance of the cave really lost their patience to wait.

Compared to the radioactive beasts that have already followed the traces, most of them are tank-type with bloated bodies.

There are mutant radioactive cows whose double horns on their heads have turned into a single horn and whose bodies have doubled in size.

There are mutant radioactive black bears whose two front feet have become several times larger, like elephant hooves.

There are mutant radioactive crocodiles whose teeth are like hoes, leaving deep marks in the snow.

There are dozens of different species, but the only thing they all have in common is their slow movement speed and lack of flexibility.

It's okay to let them be responsible for short-distance pursuit, but it would be a bit difficult to pursue long-distance pursuit along the traces.

Taken together, all tank-type radiation beasts can only target caves where there are still people garrisoned.

Even they know that these cunning humans have a terrain advantage, and they must pay a high price if they want to invade.

But compared to this winter, there was no harvest, or they were broken down one by one by humans after being separated.

Now is indeed the best opportunity to attack!

Ouch!

The huge radiation beasts took the lead in attacking, roaring and rushing towards the entrance of the cave.

A few mutated moths that had not left took this opportunity to swoop down from the trees and release bursts of fluorescent yellow moth powder.

Moth powder is non-toxic.

Spreading on the charging radiation beasts only made these beasts' eyes redder and more bloodthirsty.

"Be careful, this is a war moth, cover your mouth and nose!"

The middle-aged man "Uncle Liu" who was in charge of directing the defensive battle shouted, and all the people guarding the entrance of the cave immediately hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with their hands.

But unfortunately, two people were accidentally hit. Their eyes turned red and they almost lost their minds and wanted to rush out and fight to the death.

Fortunately, he was held down by someone next to him, so no casualties occurred from the beginning.

"set fire!"

"The moth powder of the militant moth will stimulate our cognition, causing us to rush out and fight. However, this thing will burn when exposed to fire, so we cannot let it spread into the hole."

The type and ability of Radiant Beast were still a secret when it was first released in the game.

But as time goes by, it has been gradually compiled into a complete document by human exploration.

You only need a few supplies and can buy one from a merchant on the coast of the New World.

Sure enough, as soon as Uncle Liu finished speaking, someone who also knew the properties of moth powder came forward.

Take a sip of gasoline and light it with a torch when you spray it out.

The tongue of fire flew three to four meters away, igniting all the moth powder blown over.

The fire spread along with it and frightened off the first wave of attacks from the radiation beasts.

"Well done!"

As everyone expected, the weaknesses of the remaining radiation beasts were too obvious.

Especially when humans still have terrain advantages, they can more easily seize these weaknesses and fight back.

of course there are exceptions.

"Roar!"

While everyone was cheering for the victory, from the shadows, a green-skinned lizard sprang out from the side like a ghost.

"No, it's a camouflaged lizard"

Seeing that a man standing on the outermost edge was about to be bitten, Uncle Liu standing in the center roared and threw the short ax in his hand without hesitation.

Boom.

A dull sound echoed in the night.

The sharp ax that could penetrate three-thirds of the wood hit the lizard's back, making a sound of gold and iron, only blocking its time for a moment.

The smelly big mouth still followed the direction of the attack and bit it fiercely.

hiss.

It was the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart.

The sharp teeth penetrated, and blood shot out like a fountain.

The lizard was so fast that the man was dragged out of the bunker before the people next to him could react.

"Damn it, stand back!"

"These cunning things have not left, they are just hiding in the dark to paralyze us!"

The two hundred heads in the field of vision were just an illusion that the radiation beasts wanted to show off.

There were actually some radiation beasts that left that didn't really leave, but lurked in the dark waiting for opportunities.

Suddenly, the situation that was good just now took a turn for the worse.

No one knows whether there will be a hidden radiation beast coming out next to them.

"Back off, back off!"

Seeing that the team was in chaos, Uncle Liu could only give instructions loudly and temporarily abandon the defense line at the first cave entrance.

It is almost impossible to achieve the hard steel of Radiation Beast head-on.

Survivors are better at sneak attacks or using prepared traps.

Rather than continue to waste time and wait for the team to become chaotic, it is better to shrink the defense line as soon as possible and use the complex situation in the channel to confront the enemy.

Even if there is a radiation beast hiding in the dark, it will have to enter through the hole.

Roar!

Seeing that the cave entrance was out of the way, the first wave of charging radiation beasts launched another attack.

"Fire the arrow!"

Uncle Liu roared excitedly, and several survivors with compound bows pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Lin Cheng also stood among them, raised his hand, aimed at a mutated cow and pulled the trigger.

The sharp iron arrows made the whistling wind sound.

Although it failed to hit the vulnerable part under the horns of the mutant cow, it accidentally shot into the eye socket.

Severe pain broke out, and the mutated cow that had just rushed to the entrance of the cave roared subconsciously and stopped.

However, it was hit hard by other radiation beasts that were still charging from behind, blocking half of the hole at once.

"Boy Lin, you did a great job."

Uncle Liu's loud voice sounded again.

The hole that could accommodate three radiation beasts just now was blocked by this, leaving only half of the space.

In other words, half of the pressure everyone faced was instantly gone.

When the other survivors who were still panicking saw this, they relaxed a little and began to organize an effective counterattack.

One head, two heads, three heads

Just like archery training, after going through the initial panic period, the survivors still showed the fighting qualities that matched their courage to enter the depths of the new continent in the early stage.

If the iron arrows were unlimited, they might really be able to defend with the help of narrow passages.

However

"I have no arrows!"

"I have also shot all of them!"

"Who has more, lend me two."

The survivors holding compound bows looked at each other, and everyone's quiver had been shot empty.

Go up and fight with knives at close range?

It's not a life-and-death situation yet, and everyone still thinks that the radiation beast will retreat when faced with difficulties.

Uncle Liu looked around helplessly, and was about to continue to command everyone to retreat to the third line of defense.

But the next second, he turned his head and looked back.

A few pairs of scarlet compound eyes appeared in the darkness, and a feeling of being stared at by a beast instantly exploded from the bottom of my heart.

That was

"Not good, there are other entrances to this cave!"

I don't know when, several radiation spiders have appeared inside the cave.

Obviously, there are other places in the cave that can be used by radiation beasts.

And these guys are very cunning.

They just waited until everyone's arrows were shot before they came out from the back. Their IQ is frighteningly high.

"Run, run, run up!"

Since the radiation beast has already sneaked into the cave, it is no longer realistic to go to the third line of defense to fight against the radiation beast.

Now everyone looked at each other and started running towards the passages in all directions.

Only in their minds, they all had the awareness of fighting to death.

But when it really came to that moment, human instinct affected them and they only wanted to survive.

Besides, unless they could kill all the radiation beasts, the cave would definitely not be able to be defended.

There are still family members, and no one wants to die in the rear.

Including Uncle Liu, they also rushed into a side passage while shouting: "Go up, gather at the last line of defense on the top of the mountain!"

Escape to the wilderness will die faster, and only by defending in a dangerous place can you survive.

Lin Cheng and Cheng Fei looked at each other, and they rushed up to cover each other tacitly.

Before the battle broke out, all those who were not good at fighting had been transferred to the last line of defense at the top of the cave, waiting for the final decisive battle.

But no one thought that this moment would come so quickly.

Even if it took some time for the radiation beast to find the way up, it would definitely not exceed half an hour.

In other words, they only had the last half an hour to prepare!

"Lin Yin!" As soon as he rushed to the end of the passage, before entering the last platform, Lin Cheng couldn't help but yelled.

"We are here!" A firm female voice replied.

The platform is semi-open-air, with nothing around it, only a roof above that is better than nothing.

Maybe it was originally intended to be an open-air BBQ venue, but it was abandoned because of the war.

At this time, there was still light snow in the sky, and the whistling cold wind blew in waves, and coughs were everywhere.

At this time, no one cared whether the hell flower virus would be contagious, and everyone huddled together to avoid the wind.

Lin Yin was taking care of Lin's mother hiding in the corner of the crowd, and Cheng's mother was also there.

"Has the line of defense below been lost?"

"Well, this is our last line of defense." Cheng Fei answered while quickly taking things out of the package on the ground.

During this period, he has found several methods and materials for making earth bombs according to the tutorials on the world channel.

Although he has not really tried it, the conditions are no longer allowed.

"Hey, where is my radio?"

"It's here." Lin Yin quickly took out a simple black box from her arms and handed it over.

"I just heard someone talking inside, so I took it out."

"What?" Looking at Lin Yin in disbelief, Cheng Fei was surprised and quickly put the radio to his ear.

Manufacturing radios is not a difficult task for large deep-sea gathering places that have restored some manufacturing industries, but if you want to sell them, you must reduce the cost of use.

And using traditional vacuum tube radios requires a power supply, which is undoubtedly a difficult task.

Therefore, the "ore machine" that was once the favorite of many beginners in the middle of the last century and did not require power became the main hot-selling product.

"Fuck, there is really a sound."

Without unfolding the antenna, the sound inside is very weak.

But compared with the previous silence, it is as harsh as thunder exploding above the head.

Cheng Fei quickly took out the folding antenna from the package, inserted it, and unfolded it.

In an instant, the sound inside began to become clearer.

"Paid rescue rifle blasting one-stop service in the human territory of the earth"

The intermittent voice made it difficult to hear what was said, but those words made Cheng Fei tremble all over.

"Quick, Lin Cheng, come and listen!"

"No, let everyone, let Uncle Liu and the others come to listen!"
