Chapter 739 The Real Hero! (1/2)

As expected from the mutants chasing them out of the cave, these guys in exoskeletons are far more dangerous than everyone they've encountered before combined!

Not just because of the heavy exoskeleton that keeps throwing mortar shells, nor because of the speed and power they display on the battlefield.

But the aura erupted from those guys was something they had never encountered before.

It's like these people have died countless times.

They seem to have adapted to death!

"Roar--!"

Seeing a warrior wearing an exoskeleton approaching, the big green-skinned man hiding behind the rock roared, and the steel ax in his hand hit the man's face with thunderous force, but was struck by a square side. The shield was received steadily.

"clang--"

A heavy muffled sound merged into the night.

The power that could chop a cow into two pieces only left a shallow scratch on the ceramic shield!

And it seems like only a layer of paint came off!

The tiger's mouth was numb from the shock, and the big green-skinned guy stumbled backwards. Before it could stabilize its body, the muzzle of a fist-sized gun was pointed straight at his head.

The player laughed ferociously and pulled the trigger.

"Go to hell and repent!"

Thick tongues of fire spurted out from the barrel of the shotgun along with the grinning voice, and the burning phosphorus fire was the bullet itself!

Triethylaluminum mixed with white phosphorus can fully burn in small spaces and areas with limited oxygen, producing a high temperature of nearly a thousand degrees, killing organisms to the maximum extent!

Although the flame does not last long, its power is astonishing. Compared with the white phosphorus grenade that blooms in all directions, the directional flame is projected where it hits.

Colliding with the dazzling flames, the mutant let out a painful cry, rolled to the ground and curled up into a ball shortly after, losing all movement. Large swathes of muscles on his body were burned to charcoal.

The bullet casing thrown from the barrel of the gun burned with a faint flame and rolled down the mountain with a clang.

The player skillfully filed the shotgun against the shield, completed the loading action neatly, held the shield made of ceramic steel, and continued to move forward with solid and powerful steps.

Each heavy infantryman equipped with explosion-proof shields and "Type 6" exoskeletons served as the vanguard of the attack, covering the two light infantrymen wearing "Type 5" exoskeletons behind them, and advanced toward the mountainside in groups of three.

Looking at the blazing sparks at the foot of the mountain in the distance, the Wilant soldiers who had just retreated to the rear could not help but be stunned, with surprised expressions on their faces.

"That's... a white phosphorus bomb?"

"...shooting?"

A captain with half his arm burned couldn't help but exclaimed softly.

"Are these guys desperate for their lives?!"

White phosphorus bombs are not uncommon in the list of the Legion's logistics department. They can be as large as the warhead of a 400mm extended-range rocket bomb, or as small as a projectile distributed to frontline infantry. It can be regarded as an economical and affordable conventional weapon. .

However, putting this thing into a bullet and spraying it out was something that no one had ever imagined.

Regardless of the high temperature that the gun barrel needs to withstand, aren't these guys afraid of hurting themselves?

Even a secondary ignition is dangerous enough!

Legion was not the only one surprised.

Even the headquarters of the 100th Mountain Division, which was peering into the screen through a drone, was filled with astonishment.

"There's something about their small arms..."

"It's worth looking into."

"It's probably mostly flashy."

"It's not necessarily flashy, but it's true that it's too targeted and has limited application scenarios."

"Yeah... indeed."

Whether it is the legion or the enterprise, the "secondary ignition bullet" is a novel thing, and on this basis, it is even more bizarre to stuff the solid incendiary agent into the warhead.

Although all the officers were shocked, after thinking about it carefully, they gradually gave up the idea of ​​giving one of their own people one treatment.

In fact, with the technology accumulated in the Prosperous Era, it is not difficult to make this thing. However, investing too many resources in the research and development of light infantry equipment is a very low return rate.

The research and development costs invested by both legions and enterprises in individual soldier equipment are very limited. The former is more inclined to win with larger caliber and greater numbers, while the latter is more inclined to reduce costs through "unmanned" and "military outsourcing."

The one most similar to the Alliance in terms of tactical style is actually the academy that is not good at force.

Although the academy's original intention of equipping the "Alfa" Mobile Task Force with a large amount of high-tech equipment was not to reduce casualties, but to "overtake in corners" in areas that they were not good at, those people were indeed a minority who knew how to use individual equipment. A force of survivors who spend a lot of money.

However, since the Alliance does not have as large a technical reserve as the academy, it can only develop some "outrageous but not so outrageous" ideas under limited conditions.

"Second-level ignition bullet" is the concept born under this design idea.

Bolt guns designed specifically to fight mutants fall into the category of this concept, as do white phosphorus rounds that "ignite the moment they are released."

Compared with shaped charge bolt bombs, this white phosphorus bomb not only has no safety distance limit, but is also cheaper, and its close range killing effect is even more amazing than bolt bombs!

The only drawback is the range.

However, this problem does not exist in combat in mountains and tunnels.

The fighting distance between the two sides is either tens of meters or thousands of meters apart.

The former easily triggers the safe distance of the bolt gun, causing the bolt grenade to fail to detonate normally, and the latter far exceeds the range limit of ordinary small weapons, and is basically a matter of artillery.

Therefore, in response to the requests of many players, Jushi Military Industry developed a special 19mm shotgun based on the bolt gun - "Yanlong".

Although the transportation and maintenance of this thing will make logistics uncomfortable, and it even has to be transported separately from other ammunition, but that is another problem.

In short, just when the commanders of the Legion and the Enterprise were astonished, the vanguard of the Storm Troops had already given the mutant troops who had chased down the mountain a hard slap in the face, beating up the big green-skinned guys. Suddenly dizzy.

Realizing that it was no longer possible to take advantage of the situation to capture Black Cloud Mountain, the mutants who chased out of the cave began to retreat, intending to shrink their defense line back into the caves and tunnels, and repeat the bloody meat grinding they had done with the Wilantes before.

But at this moment, a black shadow three to four meters high struck behind the mutants like a hurricane.

A flash of sharp claws blew up a howling wind in the night. The two big green-skinned beasts were chopped into two pieces on the spot, and their intestines were scattered all over the ground.

Facing the amber pupils and the bloody mouth filled with white mist, the faces of the goblins suddenly showed expressions of panic and fear. They screamed, dropped their weapons and fled in all directions, stumbling many of them towards the mountain. The big green guy retreating.

A mutant centurion stared at the giant beast waving its claws with his eyes as big as copper bells.

"Death Claw!"

And he even wears an exoskeleton!

It was not just the goblins who were in panic, but also the big green-skinned guys, with a flash of panic flashing in their eyes.

They had heard before that the Shijiao clan on Fushan Mountain was annihilated by a group of guys riding Death Claws.

Could it be that those guys are here?

While Jun Jun was waving his claws and fighting bravely to kill the enemy, I wanted to quietly watch from a distance with envy on his face.

"...Oh my god, Mr. Trash is still awesome!"

Although the fat mouse standing next to him was a little unconvinced, he reluctantly nodded in approval.

"Indeed, it would be nice if it lasted longer."

I wanted to say quietly: "Uh...that's a problem."

This alien sequence is really strong, but it is also really useless, especially in the later stage, when ordinary players have all the equipment, but alien players still have to use the equipment of "combat pets".

Except for Brother Mosquito and Ah Wei, there are basically no professional players who are willing to put in the effort to design a piece of equipment specifically for a few alien players that is destined to fail to sell well.

Once the equipment upgrades cannot keep up, the disadvantages will become very obvious.

The other players are all cooperating, and only the alien players are still using the old method.

After harvesting the heads of more than twenty mutants in a row, the garbage man who went deep behind enemy lines was finally unable to defeat hundreds of hands with his claws. The bulletproof inserts on his exoskeleton were smashed by assault rifles, and he was even beaten on his shoulders. He fired a portable rocket launcher and fell off the cliff with an unwilling roar...

However, although Mr. Garbage finally failed to make it to join Brother Quanshui, its sudden appearance really startled the mutants, so much so that they were slowed down in their retreat.

After suffering at least three to four hundred more casualties than expected, the mutants who chased down the mountain finally withdrew into the cave halfway up the mountain.

Without giving these beasts any time to breathe, the leading troops of the Storm Troops followed closely and fought their way to the mountainside, taking control of several cave entrances halfway up the mountain.

The large army waiting at the bottom of the mountain followed up halfway up the mountain, and together with the vanguard troops that broke into the cave, they started a bloody fight with the mutants who were stuck in the mountain.

Players still use the same style of play when going up the mountain.

A heavy infantryman carrying a large shield opened the way in front, and two light infantrymen with light and heavy weapons followed closely behind.

Tracers of light pulled out an airtight net in the narrow tunnel, but they were all blocked by the shield made of ceramic steel.

The mutant hiding behind the bunker saw that the rifle bullets could not penetrate the shield, so he roared and took out a grenade launcher, pointed it at the hole and pulled the trigger.

Seeing the grenade flying towards him with a trail of white smoke, the power player in front quickly raised his shoulders and pushed up the shield in his hand. He actually knocked the delayed-explosion grenade backwards and flew away. A fire exploded in the center of the tunnel.

Shrapnel hung on the shield like raindrops, and only a series of clanking and clanging sounds could be heard.

Taking advantage of the suppressive effect of the grenade explosion, before the mutant hiding behind the bunker fired another shot, an agile player carrying an RPG rocket launcher quickly squatted next to the heavy infantry and skillfully opened the safety.

The "convex" shaped warhead and cylindrical projectile body have revealed the identity of this thing. It is a thermobaric warhead "designed after RShG-2" produced by Goblin Technology!

"RPG!"

An excited roar sounded, and the player pulled the trigger without hesitation.

I saw a thick and long white smoke rushing into the depths of the tunnel, and then a dazzling fire exploded at the end of the tunnel. The overpressure generated by the instantaneous explosion seemed to shake the entire space.

Although it doesn't use very dark technology, there is no doubt about this guy's lethality.

The nearly four-kilogram warhead was filled with high-performance fuel, which was even more powerful than the rockets with the same charge in reality!

The hot air wave that swept over almost knocked over the power beasts holding the shields.

Needless to say, the mutants who were hit hard by the bullet were killed and injured in an instant, and there was a wailing sound in the cave.

However, these guys are indeed worthy of being the products of Singularity Technology. Even after being hit by a thermobaric bomb, there are still a few people who survived.

There was even a tenacious "Zang Mutant" who stumbled across the bunker and rushed out relying on "muscle memory".

The power player who stabilized his body raised the spray gun in his hand and sprayed two white phosphorus bombs directly at the guy's chest.

The thick flame was like the breath of a dragon, pressing the guy to the ground without a sound.

"Go!"

With a roar, Kakarot stepped over the body twisted in the flames with a shotgun and took the lead in entering the cave in front of him that had been baptized by thermobaric bombs.

A few green-skinned big guys who were not dead yet tried to stand up and resist, but were killed one by one by the players who rushed into the cave.

The smell of burnt barbecue in the tunnel did not arouse people's appetite.

Looking at the broken and distorted corpses on the ground, Izuihei, who followed Kakarot into the cave, smacked his lips and muttered.

"These Willant people are really cruel..."

In this tunnel less than ten meters long, there are nearly half a company of people lying...

Kakarot grinned and reloaded the shotgun in his hand that had emptied the ammunition.

"It's not like you haven't fought them before."

Recalling the past, Izuihei nodded with a little emotion.

"That's right..." If it weren't for the resurrection, it would be difficult to win against those guys... But then again, if there is no resurrection mechanism and the account is deleted upon death, what's the point of playing this game! And in terms of the number of plug-ins, who can compare with those old monsters who inherited the legacy of the War Construction Committee? Whether it is the legion, the enterprise or the academy, the trump cards in their hands are all perverted enough. In comparison, the advantage brought by the trump card in the hand of Shelter No. 404 is not so obvious. The reason why it can play such an explosive effect... Of course, it is because the manager played the card well! At the same time when Kakarot and his brothers had taken over a position, the other troops that went deep into the "maze" also made good progress. In just half an hour, the Storm Corps had pushed the front line back to the position pushed by the legion before, and advanced hundreds of meters forward! During this period, they also took down four ammunition depots with a large number of weapons and equipment, and an incubator that imprisoned more than 500 survivors. Although the Storm Troopers also suffered two companies of casualties, the mutants suffered even more, at least five times more!

Half a company of troops was used to transfer the survivors, and Kakarot led his men to continue attacking the mutants' positions.

Facing the continuous offensive of the coalition forces, the mutants in the cave finally showed a trace of fatigue.

After all, no matter how strong the recovery ability of these green-skinned beasts is, it is not without limit.

They need to rest when they are injured, and they can only recover to the best condition after eating and sleeping enough.

However, these human things fought with them all night without stopping.

Seeing that the sky outside was about to dawn, the exchange of fire in the cave was still continuing, and both the green-skinned big guy and the goblins gradually felt a little fear.

They had never seen such people before -

No!

These guys are not human at all!

They look like some other things covered with human skin!

In this way, the flames that burned into the cave spread along the tunnels in the mountain, and even burned from the ammunition depot on the front line to the foundry in the deepest part of the mountain!

That was where the Rock Axe Tribe repaired and processed equipment. There were several processing forges and large workbenches designed for them by the Torch Church, as well as an explosives workshop with chemical synthesis equipment, which were connected to the various man-made tunnels in the mountain, equivalent to the center of the entire maze.

Seeing the situation getting worse and worse, even Orlon, who was originally sitting calmly in the "palace", couldn't help but panic and dragged his heavy body to the front line.

It thought that those humans would flee in panic after seeing him, just like the group of people yesterday and the day before yesterday.

What it never expected was that when it roared and appeared in the foundry, the morale of the human toys, who were originally a little tired, did not decrease but increased.

Those people shouted at him in surprise as if they had seen some treasure.

"Fuck! Labyrinth BOSS!"

"Brothers! BOSS is here!"

"Grab your weapons and kill them!"

"Ahhh!"

Looking at those roaring humans rushing up, the toad-like face finally showed a rare trace of fear.

"What's wrong with these people?! Beast King! Where the hell are you! Tell me what to do now!"

This is the first time it calls that person "Beast King" instead of "that guy".

However, the guy who always responds to its voice did not show up this time.

It's like it's never been there.

Seeing that there was no response no matter how he called, Oulon's face first showed a trace of despair, and then was filled with anger.

It was abandoned!

As expected, none of those human things are trustworthy! Even if it’s something that’s just wearing human skin but is actually something else!

Looking at the human soldiers who were firing at him, Oulon opened his bloody mouth and roared angrily, running forward like a walking tank, and the ground beneath his blood-covered feet shook.

The 7mm bullet could only leave a small blood hole in its body, while the wounds opened by the rockets were twisted into lumps of fleshy insects like centipedes.

Even if its head is shot, it will not die. Its vitality exceeds all known creatures on the surface, and is even comparable to the evolution of slime mold!

Howling in pain in the flames of the white phosphorus bomb, Oulon dragged his majestic body covered in blood to the front of the players, and slapped away a power system wearing a heavy exoskeleton with a palm as big as a cattail leaf. The animal, followed by another spray of corrosive acid, caused everyone to scatter and fall back in shock.

"go to hell!"

"Fuck them all to Oulon——!"

Encouraged by the rude roar, the mutants in the foundry room burst out with a fighting spirit like a flashback. Whether it was the green-skinned giants or the goblins, they all howled and rushed towards the players who entered the cave. them.

Looking at the rampaging giant beast, Kakarot couldn't help but feel a trace of solemnity between his brows.

But even more exciting!

Ever since the Brood Nest in the center of Qingquan City was taken down by the brothers of the Burning Legion, he hasn't been so happy for a long time!

"Prepare the barrel! Don't use armor-piercing bullets and thermobaric bullets. Give me all the incendiary warheads!"

"I want to see if it can be repaired faster! Or we can burn it faster!"

"Give me a blast!"

…

The fierce battle inside Broken Blade Mountain was shocking, but there was silence outside the mountain, with only the faint sound of explosions coming from the cave entrance.

Black Cloud Mountain.

General Modlin stared intently at the cave entrance halfway up the mountain in the distance, his brows furrowed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The adjutant standing next to him did the same, looking in that direction silently.

Although those guys were opponents, he couldn't help but pray silently for them in his heart.

That's out of respect for a warrior.

Those guys are real heroes!

They can completely leave their former opponents alone, and use the excuse that the legion did not notify them of tonight's offensive in advance, and pull the company to sit on the sidelines and watch them shoot themselves in the foot, and then go to the next "review meeting" Laughing at himself, and even putting pressure on Triumph City through the Adhesive Community, thereby weakening the command power in the hands of General Liam...

However, they did not do this.

For the sake of the overall situation of the war, for the unity of the community, and for the benefit of all mankind, those noble people rushed forward without hesitation, and used their flesh and blood to block General Liam from stabbing him for his own selfish reasons. The hole...

When he thought of this, the adjutant's back felt hot and a hint of shame appeared on his face.

Although not all Weirant people had the same idea as him, in just a few hours, many officers and soldiers of the 310,000th Team did change their views on the alliance.

Especially those who survived the front lines.

Their hearts are not only filled with gratitude, but also with awe and respect...

On the other side, the ammunition carried by the six Yun Ting ornithopters had been emptied. Seeing that the friendly positions on Heiyun Mountain were not in danger, they began to retreat towards the military base in the rear.

Corporate frontline headquarters.

Lin Shangwen and Chu Guang talked on the phone, briefly reported the battle situation on the front line, and then continued.

"...The enemy units outside the mountain have been basically eliminated, and the firefight inside the mountain is still continuing. Although it is a pity, we really can't help much."

"It's okay, just leave it to us."

Chu Guang nodded, but his eyes were looking at another screen, which showed the first-hand battle report from the "Wasteland OL" official website forum.

As he expected, those mutants were not easy to deal with, otherwise they would not have caused the enterprise and the legion to suffer a heavy loss, and in the end they were taken advantage of by his people.

And this also confirmed Heya's conjecture.

That is, the Torch Church used the technical data on "gestalt life forms" collected in the wasteland to improve the abnormal product of "mutants".

The green skins on Broken Blade Mountain are different from the naturally evolved green skins in the wasteland.

They have stronger vitality, and the few mutants in the group are so strong that they can grow back even if their heads are lost.

Especially the super mutant who yelled "Olon".

That guy's physical strength was somewhat outrageous. He could actually eat ten thermobaric bombs and still continue to fight like a normal person, swinging his arms.

And it is precisely because of this that this guy caused a lot of casualties to the Storm Corps.

However, looking at the players who were sent to wait for the resurrection CD, they had "rave reviews" for this powerful BOSS, and they did not seem to be affected at all.

It can be seen that they have indeed not encountered an opponent who can fight as happily as today for a long time...

Seeing that Chu Guang did not continue to make the request, Lin Shangwen breathed a sigh of relief, but soon thought of another thing, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke with embarrassment.

"correct."

"What's wrong?"

"After all, we have put a lot of effort into this mountain..."

Seeing Lin Shangwen's unspeakable expression, Chu Guang immediately understood what he wanted to say, and then said with a faint smile.

"No problem, this mountain is yours... Of course, as stated in our previous contract, I'm afraid you have to bear the cost of this battle."

After hearing this, Lin Shangwen finally showed a comfortable smile on his face and continued in a sincere tone.

"Don't worry about that, we will definitely not let our friends suffer!"

After a pause, he seemed to feel embarrassed again and coughed lightly.

"Also...actually, you don't have to blame it all on us, just take credit for our joint efforts."

Chu Guang smiled and waved his hand.

"These are small things, and everything is focused on the overall situation."

Dawn has risen from the sky.

Although the ground was still shrouded in the long night, Chu Guang, standing in the bridge of the Heart of Steel, could already see the end of the long night.

In Broken Blade Mountain in the distance, on the highest rock, a player wearing an exoskeleton climbed up and planted the flags of the Storm Troopers and the Alliance heavily on it.

Chu Guang saw the player, and the player seemed to have seen his airship and was waving to him excitedly. Then he suddenly remembered something and put his fist on his chest.

Although he knew that the player could not be seen, Chu Guang still smiled and waved towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

"...I didn't expect the Storm Troopers to capture it before dawn." Vanus glanced at the watch in his hand, with a look of surprise on his face.

Judging from various performances, there were at least a division of mutants hiding on that mountain, and the Storm Troopers only brought a regiment of troops to the front line.

Even if the Enterprise and the Legion have consumed a large number of mutants' vitality, it will not be easy to chew off this bone.

Withdrawing his right hand, Chu Guang squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"I'm not surprised at all."

After all, he watched the whole process on the official website forum, and it was no different than standing on the front line and witnessing the entire battle...

At the same time, the bridge of the Allegiant airship.

Liam, who was sitting on the chair, also stared at the two flags raised on Broken Blade Mountain, but there was no joy in his heart and a complicated expression on his face.

The cooked duck flew away, that's probably what he felt in his heart.

At this time, his adjutant walked up to him, with a hesitant expression on his face, leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"General... the marshal of the coalition forces invited you to a meeting at the command post of the military base. He said that he planned to clean up the uncoordinated cooperation between the armies and the serious selfishness."

The muscles at the corners of Liam's mouth twitched violently, and his old face turned red and white, then turned red again. His eyes were staring straight at the French window in front of him, as if he wanted to find a crack in the bulletproof glass to get out.

What was supposed to come eventually came.

When he thought about how the guys from the company would laugh at him, he just wanted to jump off the airship.

Not to mention people from the company.

Falling into the hands of a group of mutants...

This is simply the shame of his life!

Seeing the officer's uncertain expression, the adjutant hesitated slightly and whispered in a low voice.

"...Do you need me to go for you?"

"No need."

After all, he was still a daring person. Liam interrupted him with a dark face and gritted his teeth and said, "...I'll go myself!"
