Chapter 338 Battle on the Iron Bridge

Going east along the dilapidated street, after a distance of more than 300 meters, there is a river about 25 meters wide in front of you.

Across the river is a two-lane parallel iron bridge.

Judging from the architectural style of the bridge, this iron bridge should be some years old. It may be an exaggeration to say 180 years, but it must be 30 to 50 years old.

Overall, however, the iron bridge is well maintained.

At the very least, there shouldn't be any problems with normal pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

After arriving here, Chuhe and Ilikovic stopped slowly. They did not continue to move forward, nor did they plan to pass the iron bridge.

This happened because there was a battle going on on the iron bridge.

There are dozens of fully armed human soldiers on one side, and seven or eight ethereal ghost warriors on the other side.

Under normal circumstances, fierce battles between humans and Nether Warriors are impossible. This is mainly because the existence of Nether Warriors is too special.

Different from normal creatures in the prime material world.

The body of the ghost warrior is not composed of conventional substances on the periodic table of elements.

In fact, this thing is a pure energy body, and it belongs to a special Bose-Einstein condensate, and there is no fixed shape at all.

In this way, all known weapons of mankind have no effect on it at all.

Once a conflict occurs between the two parties.

The Nether Warrior doesn't need to do anything intentionally at all, he just needs to walk in front of a human being, and then penetrate the opponent's body.

Under normal circumstances, once the Nether Warrior succeeds, the human being attacked will die on the spot, and the time required is extremely short, even the rescue procedure can be avoided.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

As a kind of intelligent creature, humans are not easy to mess with. Once they understand the characteristics of the Nether Warrior, humans will naturally be able to come up with a way to deal with it.

This was almost the case with the battle on the iron bridge not far away.

The human soldiers obviously came prepared.

They used the iron filings prepared in advance to arrange a simple but effective defensive circle on the outermost periphery, and they themselves hid behind the defensive circle, holding shotguns and constantly shooting.

It can be seen that the bullets of the shotgun have been modified. The bullets wrapped in the bullets are not ordinary loose bullets, but iron sand specially prepared for Nether Warriors.

I saw the means used by human soldiers.

Chuhe, who just arrived here, is not surprised at all.

After such a long time, it is normal for the Nether Warrior to fear that Iron's weakness will be exposed, both emotionally and rationally.

Of course, these special bullets containing iron sand alone cannot completely destroy the Nether Warrior, they can only disperse the Nether Warrior's cloud-like body.

The difficulty of the Nether Warrior lies in:

Even if the body is broken up by iron sand, as long as there is energy to absorb in the environment, they will re-condense into a new body in a very short time.

As far as this point is concerned, Nether Warriors are like Xiaoqiang who are often said to be invincible, and the biggest difference between them and Xiaoqiang is that if you can't kill them, they will kill you in turn.

Obviously, the human soldiers on the iron bridge knew this too.

Therefore, the shotgun attacks of the fighters closest to the defensive circle were actually just a temporary measure to delay the progress of the ghost fighters.

The real killer feature of their opponent's Nether Warrior.

It's something a few guys in the middle of the battle formation are tinkering with.

"Your Excellency, what are those soldiers doing? Don't they know that Nether Warriors can only be scattered but not killed?"

Ilikovic was standing one step behind Chuhe.

What Chuhe saw and thought of, he naturally saw and thought of.

It's just that Chuhe is familiar with the plot in the movie "Netherworld", so he can roughly guess what the human soldiers are doing, but he is confused after watching it.

Hearing this, Chuhe couldn't help curling his lips.

After thinking for a while, he turned his head to look at Ilikovic, and replied calmly:

"Don't ask such stupid questions. If you continue to read, you will know. It's not that I talk too much. This man, it's better to read more books when you have time."

Ilikovic: "???"

After listening to Chuhe's answer, Ilikovic was dumbfounded at the time.

What do you mean this is?

What does it mean to read more books when you have free time?

What is this special meow? !

After pondering for a long time, Ilikovic couldn't figure out why Chuhe said that.

He felt somewhat dissatisfied with Chuhe's attitude, but there were some things he could only think about in his heart at best, saying that he would definitely not dare to say them.

In desperation, he had no choice but to return his attention to the battlefield.

At this time, there was a new movement on the side of the human soldiers.

A few soldiers at the center of the defense circle dragged out a bunch of huge metal components from several large boxes, and then skillfully assembled these metal components together.

The final product is a chest-high robot hound.

This is not the kind of gadget made by Boston Dynamics on Earth, but a serious combat robot.

On the back of the robot hound, there is a set of additional components similar to an assault gun, except that its barrel is much thicker than a normal assault gun, but its length is less than 1 meter.

"No, this should not be a cannon, but some other special device."

As an experienced mercenary, Ilikovic just took a look at it and determined that it was definitely not a cannon in the traditional sense.

His judgment was not without foundation.

Any weapon, no matter how advanced its design is or how high-tech it is, must abide by some of the most basic physical principles.

Take a weapon like artillery, for example.

Under normal circumstances, the caliber of the artillery barrel is an important factor in determining the power of the artillery, but it is not the only one.

In addition to the caliber of the artillery barrel, the multiple diameter of the artillery barrel is also another important factor that determines its power.

To be more specific, the longer the barrel of the artillery, the greater its power.

Of course, regardless of the caliber of the artillery or the multiple diameter of the artillery, these indicators must have a moderate degree, and it is impossible to expand and lengthen infinitely.

At the same time, an appropriate ratio must be maintained between the two.

This is also why, for artillery in the general sense, no matter which country it is produced in, or whether it is advanced or not, the ratio of its barrels will not vary too much.

The "cannon" on the back of the robot hound looks like a cannon, but it is actually contrary to the design of ordinary cannons.

In this way, it is not surprising that Ilikovic will make such a judgment.

What's interesting is, I don't know if it's out of show off, or for some other reason, this guy actually muttered out all the thoughts in his heart.

After listening to his whisper.

Chuhe beside him couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What caliber and multiple caliber, does it make sense to say these now?

Besides, what happened to the thick muzzle? What's wrong with the short barrel? I'm afraid this guy has never seen a "heartless gun" before, right?

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Ilikovic's judgment.

As far as Chuhe knew, the thick pipe assembled behind the robot hound was indeed not a cannon, or it was not a cannon in the conventional sense.

This thing is actually a plasma microwave launch device.

Using it to deal with the Bose-Einstein condensed Nether Warrior is undoubtedly the best, and it definitely deserves the words "prescribe the right medicine".

It seemed that the dozen or so Nether warriors outside the defensive circle were going to be unlucky.

"boom!"

Just when Chuhe thought so.

The human soldiers on the iron bridge had already adjusted the launching device on the back of the robot hound, and decisively fired for the first time.

It can also be said that this thing is really powerful.

Although it didn't make a lot of noise when it was launched, and there was no fire, projectiles or energy visible to the naked eye.

However, the two Nether warriors facing the "cannon muzzle" turned into ashes immediately after they were fired, not even a single hair remained.

"Damn Falk! No way, is this 'cannon' so fierce?"

Seeing this scene, Ilikovic almost tore off the goggles he was wearing, and there was an expression of disbelief on his face.

Speaking of which, the time this guy stayed in Kraguye City is not too short.

Dealing with ghost fighters is not once or twice.

But he never thought that one day human beings could wipe out the Nether Warrior so easily. This is so amazing!

Compared with Ilikovic, Chuhe's reaction was much calmer.

It was all within his expectations that the plasma launcher could achieve such a result, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

It's just that Ilikovic's reaction around him made him feel a little uncomfortable.

So he gave the other party a sideways look, and then said angrily: "I said you are fine, what are you talking about? Don't be happy so early, okay!"

"The two Nether Warriors who were hit were actually not dead at all, it just took longer to condense."

Chuhe really didn't just say this casually.

Nether warriors do have weaknesses, and no one can deny this.

For example, they are scattered by iron objects, restrained by ceramic objects, and also blasted by plasma rays.

But the following are just means to treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

The effect of plasma rays on ghost fighters is not much different from iron filings in essence.

The only difference is: after being blasted away by the former, it will take longer for the Nether Warrior to restore his original body.

It has to be said that the immortality of the Nether Warrior is indeed difficult to deal with. If it is allowed to spread, humans really have no good countermeasures.

Fortunately, humans no longer need to think about this issue.

With the invasion of alien lizardmen, it is still a question of whether human beings will perish. Compared with Nether Warriors, the former is the opponent that humans need most headaches.

Thinking of this, Chuhe couldn't help taking a deep look in the direction of the iron bridge.

Obviously, those human soldiers who are dealing with the Nether Warriors should not know a series of things happening outside.

That's why they will fight to the death with the Nether Warrior here.

I just don't know what kind of reaction they will have when they learn about the latest situation in the outside world.

"Hey, that's not right. I heard the noise of tank guns just now. Why do the soldiers here only use light weapons?"

At this moment, Ilikovic suddenly muttered in a low voice.

Hearing what he said, Chuhe couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then immediately let go of his mental power and spread out to the opposite bank.

After a while, the expression on his face changed slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he lifted Ilikovic beside him and rushed towards the iron bridge ahead.

"Your Excellency, this is."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, there is still a battlefield behind, let's go over there to see the situation."

It turned out that there was more than one place where the fighting took place.

Regarding this point, Chuhe made an empirical mistake before.

According to the plot in the movie "Ghost", after the protagonist group rescued the little Lolita Sarah and the little normal Jack, they have experienced three battles, including the battle of the iron bridge in front of them.

But a movie is a movie, and reality is reality.

With the connection between the Nether World and the other three parallel worlds, many situations have changed, and the plot in memory is no longer applicable.

The most important thing right now is not to be a melon eater here, but to find the protagonist group and follow them into the city's nuclear power plant.

As for other things, it's not that important.

At least that's the case for Chuhe.

"Look, someone is coming."

"Stop, stop, stop moving forward."

"Mare Falk! Those two guys should be the survivors of the city?"

"Vincent, don't talk nonsense, if they get close to the cordon, you shoot immediately."

"It's not good to say that, is it?"

"Don't say such ridiculous things, carry out the order!"

"."

As soon as Chuhe brought Ilikovic close to the iron bridge, he was discovered by human soldiers staying behind to guard.

Not long after, the two soldiers on the outside raised their shotguns.

At this moment, the battle in the middle section of the iron bridge is still going on.

Relying on the plasma microwave emitters behind the robot hounds, the human soldiers have already dealt with nearly half of the ghost warriors.

For them, now is the critical moment.

Therefore, facing Chuhe and Ilikovich, who didn't know whether they were enemies or friends, their attitude seemed very repulsive.

However, what surprised them was.

Facing the clear warning, Chuhe's speed increased instead of falling.
