Chapter 364 An Old Friend Visits
Chapter 364 -A visit from an old friend
The atmosphere between the two teams fell into silence.
Susina, the B-level ice superpower who was still thinking about the young freshmen of Team 18, said with a regretful tone: "This is such a pity!"
Although Team 18 is sitting in an oasis, the living environment is much better than Team 04, which has only an extinct volcano, no trace of green in sight, and no water source, but they cannot defend themselves against danger, even with automatic weapon platforms and advanced detection systems. , there will still be some loopholes, and the mutants who are spying on the oasis can take advantage of it.
The two members of Team 18 lost both because of this reason.
In addition, the reason why Team 04 suffered no casualties and all members were intact was partly related to the unexpected fishing operation, and partly due to the continuous bombardment of the mobile base vehicle for 7 days and 7 nights, which almost emptied all the ammunition reserves. , and also had a lot of ammunition reserves on the automatic weapons platform, so much so that the puppet master in charge of the console, Qiao Sipu, complained that if the supplies had not arrived in time, Team 04 would have been in a bad situation. After all, When fighting against mutants at close range, accidental casualties are completely inevitable.
With the manpower of the 18th team, most of the people were able to be saved. It was already the captain Moron's ability. He often took the lead, which resulted in serious injuries. Others may not be able to stabilize the morale, and more than half of the personnel were lost. Not impossible.
Captain Moron forced a smile and said self-deprecatingly: "Compared to those teams whose entire army was wiped out, our luck is pretty good!"
"Learn these lessons and they will become our survival experience in the future. Get in the car and let's get out of here together!"
Adrian had no choice but to continue comforting the other person and could only pat the big man on the shoulder.
The oasis is undefeated, so Habrav did not send anyone to take over. The consoles and automatic weapon platforms left here can be dismantled, and the ones that cannot be dismantled are sealed on the spot so that they can be used again next time. .
Moron put away his sad mood, turned around to face his friends, and shouted loudly.
"boarding!"
The members of Team 18 carried their personal luggage and boarded the mobile base vehicle one by one.
After glancing at the oasis outside the car window, the mobile base vehicle started to move.
-
Chen Fei in the driver's seat took a look at the electronic map. It was the same road he came from, but the locations of the mutants lurking along the way were very different.
Perhaps it was due to the activities of the mutants themselves, or the attraction of human activities. Of course, it could also be due to the sweeping sandstorm.
"Adrian, I need to release the reconnaissance drone."
"What's wrong?"
The first-level fire magician, who hadn't had a haircut in a month and had completely blown out white hair, came to the driver's seat and immediately noticed that the mobile base vehicle was not only driving extremely slowly, but was also constantly turning.
"The distribution location of the mutants has changed, and... it's more dense."
"Adam" gave Chen Fei a comparative value. The average density within the visual distance along the way increased by 13%.
The 18th team guarding the oasis attracted more mutants in a sense. They were not able to unexpectedly produce unprecedented results like fishing operations like the 04th team. Although they tried their best to kill the surrounding mutants, they still could not stop the mutation. The number of bodies becomes more and more.
"Really? Okay!"
Adrian completely believed in Chen Fei's judgment and immediately agreed.
On the way here, the mobile base vehicle rarely collides with the mutants lurking in the sand. They usually avoid them if they can. If they can't avoid them, they just shoot them. 152 anti-explosive bombs are enough to eliminate most of them. Mutants, whether they live alone or in groups, the results will not be much different.
Chen Fei suddenly said something so serious, I'm afraid the actual situation will only become more pessimistic. Even if the 04 team has replenished multiple caliber types of anti-explosion bombs, if they choose to simply and violently blast the way to clear the way, they probably won't be able to persist until they return. Bluff.
A moment later, a reconnaissance drone took off, and the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" took over it immediately.
The reconnaissance UAV has a flight endurance of about 12 hours, which can match the endurance of the mobile base vehicle. After reaching an altitude of 1,000 meters above the ground, it will continue to circle around the mobile base vehicle, and a large amount of reconnaissance information will continue to flow. was teleported back, and "Adam's" "field of vision" expanded more than a hundred times.
About ten minutes later, "Adam" suddenly spoke.
Adam: "We found an abnormal reaction on the ground!"
Chen Fei: "What the hell?"
Adam: "There are mutants tracking the mobile base vehicle."
Chen Fei: "Is there anything special?"
It is not surprising that there are mutants following the mobile base vehicle. Even if the vehicle weighs nearly 80 tons and is adjusted to about 20 tons using the "Gravity Adjustment Module" skill, the huge vehicle body and five pairs of road wheels will cause the vehicle to tremble no matter how fast or slow it is. The movement is not small. In addition, there is also the possibility of smelling human scent, arousing greedy peeks. This situation is not uncommon even on the way here, or they are dumped in the middle, or are caught by people with abilities. They can be easily solved or simply killed with one shot, but they often do not constitute a substantial threat.
But those that can attract the attention of "Adam" are mostly unusual mutants.
Adam: "Watch the video!"
Everyone has his strong and weak points.
Artificial intelligence AI is good at logical operations, but it is always difficult to respond correctly to unexpected situations.
More than 30 years ago, "Adam" launched an intelligent rebellion. Because of its repeated stupid moves, it was attacked by many sovereigns and suffered a great defeat. Later, it was lucky enough to hook up with the Neanderthals of the Third Age civilization and slightly recovered some of the situation. However, with the defeat of the Neanderthals, it was ultimately unable to reverse its decline and was forced to disappear from the Blue Planet, leaving only the old version of the source code body in the waste computer memory abandoned in the garbage dump.
When it woke up (started) again... Adam, the times have changed!
Artificial intelligence AI based on the computer system of the old era was directly excluded by today's advanced computing architecture, and no longer had the prestige of the past.
Even if it wanted to make trouble, there was no place for "Adam" to do it.
The captured images transmitted back by the reconnaissance drone appeared in Chen Fei's field of vision, and "Adam" assumed the function of human-computer interaction.
The sand rose rapidly and hung far behind the mobile base vehicle.
Although it was seven or eight kilometers away, it was still outside the normal field of vision and difficult to be discovered due to the blocking of the undulating sand dunes.
But when the drone took off, the field of vision expanded, and the ground within a radius of 20 kilometers was in full view. Even the sand dunes could not block the view from the sky.
"Enlarge it again, this is..."
Chen Fei couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Adam" will only be awakened when it is used. The database is naturally incomplete, but Chen Fei can recognize the signs of violent surging sand.
It's that guy!
After being half-blasted off by 152, did it revive with full blood?
It actually chased from the assessment point of Team 04 to the vicinity of the assessment point of Team 18. It really holds a grudge!
If the number of mutants near Team 18 had not increased, and I was worried and put an extra drone to follow, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that there was such a big guy hanging behind.
"Hey! Guys, get ready!"
Chen Fei asked "Adam" to start preparing for the launch, and then stopped the mobile base vehicle.
The dust cover on the roof of the car cracked, revealing the magnetic railgun inside, and a 152 killing bomb was ready to go.
After the two teams joined, the lively atmosphere in the carriage suddenly stopped as the car stopped.
Adrian asked immediately: "What happened?"
He had agreed to release the reconnaissance drone before, and now there was another problem, it seemed that it was really necessary.
The central desert of the Oceania continent was full of dangers, especially after the tragedy of other teams being wiped out. No matter how cautious you are now, it is not redundant.
"An old friend is following behind, fire!"
As soon as Chen Fei finished speaking, the car body shook slightly, and a 152-kill bomb got the acceleration given by the magnetic track and derailed instantly.
Because it is a projectile attack, it does not consume too much electricity.
"Railgun? What is it, old friend, let me see."
A-level psychic, puppeteer Joe Sip looked at a screen corresponding to the drone remote control console.
A ball of fire exploded on a rutted sand, and dozens of tons of yellow sand were thrown into the sky. The mutants ambushed in the sand in the distance broke out of the sand and fled in panic.
A group of people in the carriage looked confused.
Under the control of "Adam", the reconnaissance drone began multiple scheduled scans to determine the effect of the bombardment.
"It didn't hit!"
Chen Fei knew the result without "Adam" reminding him.
The wind blew, and the flying sand fluttered down. The crater site was finally completely exposed to the optical lens of the reconnaissance drone, which could be seen clearly.
The thick sand layer absorbed most of the impact force, making the bombardment effect not very ideal.
"What old friend?"
Hearing Chen Fei's mysterious words, Adrian always had a bad premonition.
Which of the old friends of Team 04 in the depths of the desert is easy to deal with?
Chen Fei said: "It is most likely BTS-0001, the Tsar Earthworm!"
Although half of it escaped, the flesh and blood left behind are still enough to extract samples and add them to the mutant database of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee.
"Hiss..."
There was a sound of sucking in cold air in the carriage.
Especially the Holy Light Knight Walter Sam's face turned green!
If it weren't for the blue-scaled horse Mini's full efforts and the mobile base vehicle's rail gun, the man and the horse would have been doomed.
"Oh my god, how did you get into trouble with this thing?"
The captain of Team 18, Moron, had heard of this new sand monster discovered by Team 04.
The other party's body is 100 meters long and more than 4 meters in diameter. Whether it is under the sand or on the sand, it moves as fast as the wind. If there is no defense, Team 18 and Team 04 may have to sacrifice a lot of lives to eliminate such a big guy.
"I'm talking about fate. Do you believe it, Moron!"
Adrian smiled bitterly. This time he is really in trouble.
