Chapter 29 New Equipment

“Tata-tata!”

In the village and the rainforest, there were loud gunshots, and the noise was caused by the continuous firing of 7.62 mm and even .50cal caliber firearms.

If the rebels did this, it would be normal.

The rebels entrenched in this area had never received any military training, and did not know how to operate point-and-shoot or rapid-fire. They just needed to empty the bullets.

However, the real source of the continuous firing was the group of soldiers who jumped out of the cabin and completed the ropeless descent.

The black combat uniforms, the red "Λ" logo, and the shoulder straps of "ARS/ 3rd Infantry Company" all indicate that this group of soldiers is the third infantry company of the Atlas Rapid Reaction Force (ARS).

And the equipment has become much "heavier".

After all, each infantryman is equipped with a mechanical skeleton, which can be equipped with more protective plates on important parts, can carry more ammunition, and can easily complete a ropeless descent at a height of 20 meters.

Not only that, the masked helmet worn by ARS comes with a HUD display screen, which can help lock the target within the visual range and cooperate with the mechanical skeleton to complete the calibration shooting.

In addition, ARS has received rigorous training and has rich practical experience, so it can still maintain extremely high accuracy under continuous continuous shooting.

Looking down from the air, the soldiers of the third company, totaling more than 30 people, are scattered in the village in groups of three.

Among them, there are two heavy soldiers dressed as ARS.

The special mechanical skeleton and modular armor covering the whole body, with a micro-missile launch chamber and a 40mm caliber howitzer on the shoulder, this is simply a "human tank".

Therefore, whether it is the rebels or the infected, as long as they appear in the shooting range of the ARS team, they will be attacked by rapid or continuous shooting.

Facing the dense 7al caliber ammunition, its powerful penetration ability immediately "torn apart" the human body's torso, limbs, and head.

Bang!

Puff!

The sound of human bodies exploding and breaking echoed between the village and the rainforest, blood mist filled the air, and the soil was soaked with blood and covered with flesh.

Facing the ARS, which was far ahead in equipment, weapons, and military literacy, the only fate for the infected and the rebels was death.

Moreover, there was an A-10, an AH-1W, and a CH-53E equipped with a rotating machine gun in the air to provide fire support.

Surrender?

Because they had witnessed the infected and mutants, and had seen Atlas's new equipment, as well as the urgent time of the mission, ARS directly ignored the surrender of the rebels.

In fact, Atlas had already developed several more maneuverable prototypes based on the United Defense Force (UDF) vehicles of Earth Zero One, but it was still in the testing stage, and there was no need to avoid premature exposure, so the vehicles participating in this support mission were still old models.

At this moment.

"..."

Lyon stood up in a daze.

He looked at the ARS who used the two heavy soldiers as mobile cover and slowly advanced into the rain forest, and then looked at the HK USP in his hand, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

An ARS with red shoulder armor walked in front of Leon, unfolded his mask, revealing his beard, and stretched out his left hand and said:

"Sergeant Gideon Elimo, the first platoon leader of the third company of the rapid reaction force, are you okay, cadet."

Lyon opened the safety and put the HK USP put the holster back and stretched out his left hand to shake hands with the other party: "Sergeant, you came just in time. Thank you for your assistance. If you were two minutes later, I might have to fight with a knife."

"This is what we should do." The sergeant named Elimo Gideon let go of his hand and cast his eyes on Sears and others who walked out of the iron house and were even more confused, and continued:

"Student, the superior's order is for us to solve all threats and find the source of the current situation, the Flower of God, so you need to cooperate with us, act as a communication bridge, negotiate with civilians such as Quill Sears, and assist us in completing the mission of finding the Flower of God."

"Okay, Sergeant, leave it to me."

Lyon nodded and promised, and walked towards Sears and others, briefly explaining the current situation.

During this period.

The gunshots changed from dense to sporadic, indicating that a row of the third infantry company, relying on absolute firepower crushing, completed the mopping-up mission, and is currently searching for the fish that slipped through the net and making up for the gunshots.

Although the infected and mutants have the wisdom to operate guns and fight in groups, they do not know how to dodge and are easily eliminated by ARS.

The rebels saw that they were doomed to fail and immediately fled in all directions.

However, exposing the back to the enemy is a taboo, and they also become live targets. Some are smarter and want to rely on the terrain provided by the rainforest to hide and wait for an opportunity to escape.

However, with the heavy soldiers' grenade launchers firing several reconnaissance bombs with dynamic detection and contour scanning capabilities at the rainforest, and the thermal imaging images provided by the masked helmets, the rebels simply had nowhere to hide.

After a while, this small-scale conflict ended. .

Seeing this.

The CH-53E, which was originally hovering in the sky, chose a suitable place to land and unloaded many technical and engineering personnel.

As soon as they left the cabin.

The technicians in black chemical protective suits immediately collected the bodies, collected samples, and started the disinfection procedures.

The engineering staff dressed in black overalls and orange vests also selected areas for disinfection, and then used the tools and materials they brought with them to carry out renovation and construction. It seemed that they were preparing to establish a laboratory in this village that could conduct testing and experiments immediately. outpost.

At the same time, two technicians were immediately performing standard procedures for blood drawing and on-site testing on teachers and students of Lyon and Sears.

After the results were all green, the two technicians turned around and left to continue other matters.

Slow down.

Leon covered his neck where blood had been drawn with a sterile cotton pad, then looked at Gideon aside and asked, "Sergeant, is the company preparing...?"

"Controlling the situation, the second and third platoons have been deployed to Logia Town. Until the impact of the Flower of God is minimized, the company will be very busy around here, Michelle!" Gideon had just finished explaining, He ordered on the communication:

"You and the 8th, 9th, and 10th fire teams stay here and are responsible for providing protection for technical and engineering personnel and waiting for the arrival of follow-up personnel."

"Yes, Sergeant."

"Yes." Hearing the reply from the communication, Gideon responded lightly, then looked at Sears and others again, and said in a tone that could not be refused:

"Professor, you will go deep into the rainforest with us to search for the ancient city and the Flower of God. Atlas will pay you and your students a large commission, and will also recruit you to join the company and get better services." Work and living environment.”

"Of course it's possible." Sears understood that they were involved in another side of the world, especially after seeing the ARS killing the rebels without mercy, so he naturally knew the consequences of refusal.

"Very good." Gideon put on his mask again, raised his left hand while walking towards the northern rainforest, shook it slightly, and continued to give instructions:

"Except for the guys who stayed behind, everyone else should follow me to see what is hidden in this rain forest."
