Chapter 29 The Falcon Falls
"This is Falcon-I, which has reached the target area."
"Received, this is Falcon-II. Falcon-I, turn on the radio life detection device."
"Received. Turn on the radio life detection device."
The shuttle-shaped fuselage, with a rear-opening door frame focused on the machine gun. Under the annular vortex air acceleration devices on both sides of the fuselage, folded air waves jumped, making an ear-piercing hum. In the cabin are soldiers armed to the teeth, with terrifying individual heavy weapons mounted on the jet-black power armor. The PAC symbol is faintly visible on the side of the right arm, however it has been almost worn away and replaced by the emblem of the town of Lyudin painted below the symbol.
Yunzhi-51, an amphibious transport helicopter installed by PAC in 2153, is mainly used in the South China Sea Fleet, and is a powerful beach landing transport equipment. But now after the war, things like landing on the beach are useless.
Two pitch-black helicopters maintained a horizontal distance of one kilometer, hovering above a building in tandem.
Wang Shiwu looked at the unknown bacterial density indicator on the outside of the power armor, and then looked at the direction of the building outside the helicopter window, with a hazy expression on his face.
"Sure enough, it's right here."
"Life forms match, the target is in the building. Falcon-I is requesting an attack."
"No." Wang Shiwu stared at the building cautiously, and then activated the remote communication module of the power armor, "This is the black cavalry team, which has reached the top of the target creature. The body information is unknown, and it is requested for naval gun support."
"The command received and approved the shelling."
The cost of attacking directly was too great, and he didn't even see the body of the target. Wang Shiwu didn't dare to joke about the lives of his comrades, so he chose to request artillery support very cautiously.
At least, expose the target's body first.
"Falcon-I, Falcon-II, the bombardment will arrive in 1 minute, please ascend."
"received."
The two helicopters began to climb to avoid unnecessary accidental injuries. The sun's rays left trails of yellowish trails in the fallout, and the yellow-green particles that were sickening just to look at filled the building's exterior. From the outside, the whole area looks like a cloudy egg, and the building is its yolk.
What exactly is hiding in the building?
Wang Shiwu frowned, staring at the cloudy round egg.

Why did the elite troops of Liuding Town appear on the edge of the urban area 30 kilometers away? This has to start from the combat meeting two days ago.
The aircraft carrier Bohai, the control tower, the conference room.
"...There is an abnormal life signal in the (412,151) area. Our scientists can't figure out what it is, but its subcrystalline energy index has reached 90141 points, far exceeding the critical value of 300. Since it appeared in our blow Within the range. Then in order to curb its further evolution and recover the sub-crystals, I need you to kill this thing. Do you understand!" The middle-aged man in the old PAC officer uniform stood in front of the holographic map with his hands behind his back, pointing towards his subordinates. ordered.
"Yes, sir."
Soldiers in uniform shouted in unison. They were all wearing PAC Marine Corps uniforms, but only to the extent of wearing them.
"Then the meeting is dissolved!"
"Yes!"
radio life detection device,
It is one of the more commonly used equipment in this wasteland. According to research, the life signals emitted by each kind of life show interval divisions, and the frequency of such signals can be detected at and long distances through special radio waves. It was used as a reconnaissance device during the war, as a search and rescue device after the war, and as a civilian device in the end times...
Humans are not the only ones that can be detected. Life signals of any frequency and wavelength will be recorded on a radar-like electronic screen. This kind of life signal is generally proportional to life energy. Generally speaking, the life signal of mutant organisms has a much higher frequency than that of human beings. Using the frequency of life signals to measure the theoretical value of subcrystal content in an organism is a technology developed after the war. Basically, the larger survivor bases have this technology.
After recording unnatural life signals, nearby survivor bases generally choose to take the initiative to attack. Because if you let mutant creatures grow, it is an extremely unstable thing. All mutation is random, and there is no guarantee that something strange won't evolve.
The evolution of species that previously took tens of thousands of years may only take a few days in a nuclear bomb crater. Perhaps the poor worm that only vomits may evolve, or it may evolve to be an extremely dangerous mutant beast.
Creatures with subcrystal energy points over 300 are collectively referred to as extreme mutant creatures.
However that doesn't mean it's powerful.
Different from the dangerous species with powerful fighting power between 40-300 subcrystal energy, from the perspective of the degree of danger, extreme mutant creatures are easier to deal with than dangerous species in most cases. For example, just like humans, a 100-pound person may indeed beat a 200-pound person, after all, heavyweights are not in the same class. But what about people who weigh 500 pounds? What about a 1 ton person? I am afraid that they all belong to the category of disabled people, and it is already very difficult to maintain their own life activities.
In the same way, mutant creatures with sub-crystal energy exceeding 300 belong to the kind of "disabled" monsters. Under the influence of various factors such as radiation, life energy is endlessly expanding due to coincidental mutations. However, bloated energy does not necessarily bring bloated lethality. Everything has a degree. Once it is over, it will become a burden.
Liuding Town has had similar long-range strikes before. The target is an unknown creature that has skyrocketed to more than 110,000 sub-crystal points.
When the Marines landed, however, all they encountered were a group of ghouls and a large chunk of meat torn by the ghouls.
And it's a meatball that fills half the street.
The helpless Marines had to call the naval guns to shoot, smashing the pile of rotten meat to a crumb, and then took the energy detector to find the half-human high crystal, and dragged it back with a helicopter. As for those pieces of meat, because they attracted a large number of ghouls squatting nearby, they could not be recovered. Otherwise, it is also a good choice to make those organic substances into nutritional mixtures...
That's right, these extreme mutants are usually rubbish, and for economic reasons, it's easier to hunt down such a big man than to deal with those Deadpaws, Roshan and the like.
This is also the real reason that drives these selfish guys to use force to annihilate mutant creatures, otherwise who would send troops abroad when they have nothing to do?
Now, Wang Shiwu is facing this kind of thing.
Although the soldiers under his command began to whisper, they should go back to take a bath after cleaning up early, after all, the power armor is very hot. But Wang Shiwu still vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he carefully chose the program of shelling.
Flying in front of the Falcon-I turned on the laser ranging, providing accurate firing positions for the naval guns in Liuding Town.

"Prepare for bombardment, raise the turret! Quick!" Several people in overalls were busy, manipulating the equipment in their hands. The deck on the side of the bow slowly cracked, and the ten-meter-long gun barrel gradually rose.
With a streamlined and long casing, this cannon with a long barrel has a loud name - electromagnetic gun,
"Linear distance 310,203 meters, target thickness determination... 10kg mass bomb enabled, elevation angle 47°, kinetic energy setting..."
A technician with a tablet is typing settings from ten meters away from the turret. The fire control system of the Bohai was damaged by the EMP generated by the nuclear explosion as early as before the war. After the equipment such as these fixed artillery was repaired by the survivors, the fire control circuit was directly connected to the nearby terminal. Distance operation enables firing.
The technician pressed the [launch] button.
Dazzling blue light fills the barrel, and the high-density electric current emits a short, harsh hum.
No explosions.
Only the first loud sound of a cannonball breaking the sound barrier, and then only a light-colored trajectory toward the sky could be seen.
The reaction force acting on the electromagnetic guide made the ten-meter-long barrel move back slightly, and the liquid cooling device rose hot steam. The rear of the hull swayed gently, and submerged into the waves imperceptibly.
The flat-headed cannonball spun at high speed in the air. The special device inside the shell operates on the residual current in the capacitor, so that a brief vacuum layer is formed around the shell, completely erasing the sound barrier.
This short-term vacuum effect is relieved until one kilometer after approaching the target.
The special coating on the surface began to burn, and the front width of the projectile began to expand slightly.
Dragging a red trail, the columnar projectile slammed into the abdomen of the target building like an iron fist.

The harsh sonic boom spread out at the same time as the violent explosion, and the cannonball penetrated the building in an instant and was embedded in the ground.
As if being pushed down by a big hand, the entire building collapsed backwards like an avalanche. The shells left a channel several meters in diameter in the middle of the circular float.
"Direct hit. Nice shot."
"Target shell exposed... wait! What is that! What the hell..."
"Falcon-II, please answer what happened! Falcon-I..."
"Falling! Falling! Request...rescue..." (busy voice)
Spreading out from the smoke was a giant hand... no, to be precise, a giant cannon.
The dark red energy converges and is released.
The red beam drew a straight line from the sky and penetrated the clouds.
The ray did not hit any of the helicopters directly. However, it paralyzed all the electronic devices in the entire airspace that the rays passed through...
【warn! EMP Strike]
The electromagnetic shield of the power armor opened in an instant, hedging the manic current. However, due to the passive opening, almost all the instruments and equipment of the power armor suffered varying degrees of damage.
Because the electromagnetic shielding is turned on, the communication signal is naturally shielded together.
"Damn! EMP! Jump!" Turning on the loudspeaker, Wang Shiwu roared wildly, stabilized his body in the violently rotating fuselage, then ran towards the cabin door with heavy steps, and then jumped out of the cabin vigorously outside.
The power armor structure is relatively compact, and the equipment coverage against EMP is also relatively concentrated. It was only a short-term failure, and all electronic components returned to normal after hesitation. However, the two helicopters were not so lucky. The high-energy EMP instantly penetrated their electromagnetic shielding defenses and burned most of their electronic equipment.
Wang Shiwu gritted his teeth and stared at the giant flesh-red "barrel".
What is that? Organisms can also release EMPs? And it still destroyed Yunzhi-51 without a direct hit...
【Slow down device starts】
Seeing the clear large characters on the screen of the electronic helmet, Wang Shiwu breathed a sigh of relief.
The gaps in the armor of the knees, waist, and shoulders gradually cracked, and the small vortex engine hidden under the metal shell emitted blue tail flames. Wang Shiwu only felt his whole body tighten suddenly, and then regained the feeling of gravity and landed to the ground at a constant speed.
Passing straight through the turbid round egg, the heavily armed power armored soldiers landed heavily on the ground one after another.
"...mutant bacteria, density index: 97. Damn, what kind of shit." The voice of a comrade-in-arms came from the public channel.
"Stay vigilant! Make sure the equipment is sealed. These floating bacteria give me an ominous premonition." Wang Shiwu checked the air filter equipment and found that these bacteria were unexpectedly troublesome.
The density of bacteria has reached the level of sticking into visible clots, and the yellow-green form is really disgusting.
Do you want to get out first?
But the thought was fleeting, and he felt the need to find out what that dreadful barrel was.
Moreover, the helicopter has been destroyed, even if Liuding Town sends reinforcements, it is not clear to drop this dangerous thing,
"Watch out for filter ports, prepare to attack!"
"learn."
Just in case, Wang Shiwu cautiously sent the previously captured picture back to the headquarters, then switched out the machine gun mounted on his arm, and moved forward with his teammates.
The headquarters did not send back a signal, do these bacteria still have the effect of communication shielding?
It is possible, after all, the ray just now produced the effect of EMP. There is reason to believe that these bacteria are associated with that unnatural barrel.
No, there is a problem!
Usually this kind of extreme mutant creature will attract the gnawing of xenogeneic species, however, there is not even a mutant mouse near this guy!
It's so abnormal!
It means something is wrong!
Just when Wang Shiwu was terrified by his discovery, suddenly, a teammate next to him exclaimed.
"Above! Fuck, what is that?!"
Wang Shiwu immediately looked up and saw that the flesh-red biological cannon barrel was being filled with energy again.
There is nothing in the sky, what is it shooting?
"Fire at it! Quick!"
Before he had time to think, Wang Shiwu issued an attack command with intuition.
Da da da--!
12 power armored soldiers fired salvos at the flesh-red barrel, weaving a dense firepower network. No one knows whether these fired bullets have any effect, but at this moment, there is no better way than venting firepower.
The distance of 500 meters is completely within the effective range of the machine gun module. The jumping firelight made the expressions under each mask hideous, and the high-speed rotating triangular-shaped gun barrel frantically spit out terrifying flames.
Suddenly, the half-height flesh-red gun barrel shrank suddenly, and the charging momentum seemed to stop.
Wang Shiwu was overjoyed, it seemed that the firepower coverage still had an effect on this monster.
However, there is another explanation for the suppressed charging.
That is, the energy is full.
In the terrified line of sight, the flesh-red gun barrel burst.
And that diffused red light engulfed the entire area, spreading arc waves sweeping away everything in a radius of several kilometers, calming all the noise...
Several flesh-red "meat balls" were shot into the distance with the boost of the explosion...

"Falcon-I, Falcon-II, Black Knight offline."
"Life signal changes! The target is split!"
The officer standing in the command room was filled with haze, and his eagle-like eyes were fixed on the holographic screen in the air.
I saw that the sign of the 90141 sub-crystal point had disappeared, replaced by 12 split lifeforms with uneven energy, spreading out around.
Mission failed.
It wasn't the 12 fighters and 4 pilots that distressed the officer. Under the virtual reality training system, as many such talents could be "produced" as needed.
However, the total price of the two Yunzhi-51 and 12 sets of MAX-I power armor was as high as 220,000 sub-crystals.
Simply a disaster.
As for the strange creature's impact on this wasteland? Everything is unknown...
