Boom!!
The air wave of the explosion spread, setting off billows of dust in the center of the screen.
The combat command center was noisy.
"Grenade!"
"F*ck—they have artillery!"
"The enemy's artillery position has been locked...The fixed-wing unmanned aircraft is on its way...It was intercepted by enemy air defense fire."
"Shot?"
"No... The image is being collected, it should be a cluster bomb with a proximity fuze, and it should be launched by some kind of individual rocket launcher. Their shooting height is not high enough to pose a threat to us... They should have discovered it, and the fire has ceased .”
"You used three shoulds."
"Because I'm not sure, the attacks came from many directions, and they were scattered in the forest. They probably used some material to block the heat source... Done, the two artillery pieces have been knocked out, and there are suspected to be a large number of enemy targets nearby, applying for the use of tactical nuclear bombs. "
"Reject, it's not time."
"Received... the conventional ammunition is empty and is returning."
The light fixed-wing UAV hovering in the air began to return in the direction of the Pioneer.
The ammunition load of this small aircraft is not high, it is mainly used for reconnaissance, and there is no way to unscrupulously pour firepower like a gunboat.
Besides, they have to save some time for the night's action.
Oliver's face was heavy, staring at the big screen in the command center, he clenched his fists.
"What about the casualties?"
"They fired 20 shells, and only two of them were predicted to land on our side, all of which were destroyed by our close-in firepower."
Hearing this sentence, Oliver was slightly relieved.
The Pioneer can run rampant on the wasteland, but it can't go so far without some skills. They have a total of 5 light rapid-fire close-in anti-aircraft guns based on the principle of electromagnetic acceleration, four of which are located on the outside of the waist of the 4 steel platforms, which can cover 4 surfaces and an upward 60-degree inclination angle and a -5-degree depression angle. The other door is located on top of one of the steel platforms, deployed vertically in a modular fashion.
In fact, this "Point defense system" has blind spots, and the closer you get, the bigger the defense will be. However, in addition to close-in defense guns, they also have reactive armor to deal with, as long as they are not covered by saturated firepower, don't worry about it.
It's just that their allies are a little uncomfortable...
"What about the other 18 rounds?"
The staff sitting in front of the console said awkwardly.
"Except for 4 that missed by a full 1 kilometer, the other 14 were all heading for the camp of the blue jacket. The interception efficiency at the oblique angle was too poor. We only destroyed 12..."
These shells all went to the camp of the blue coat, so he couldn't help suspecting that those people aimed at the smoke floating on the camp.
It is exactly noon.
Those blue coats seem to be cooking?
The people in the legion may have regarded the smoke as smoke from steelmaking or other production facilities. They obviously don't know that many modular production units of that kind are zero-emission...
Howard scolded: "Damn it! These bastards, bullies!"
Oliver clenched his fists.
Although he wanted to avenge his allies, reason still prevailed.
The opponent is provoking them to take the initiative.
Now is not the time!
Squeezing three words between his teeth, he turned and walked out the door.
"Wait until it gets dark!"
...
10 kilometers away.
The artillery positions turned into a sea of flames.
The fixed-wing drone flying in the sky launched a surgical attack on the two artillery pieces at the same time, and two high-explosive missiles fell from the sky, directly causing the two artillery pieces that Vanus hid in the woods to cease fire physically.
There were also 600 rounds of medium-caliber electromagnetic acceleration projectiles that poured down together, killing about 30 or so clone soldiers around them in a venting manner.
But that doesn't make much sense.
There are as many cannon fodders as there are Vanus.
He even felt a little regretful that he didn't deceive the opponent's tactical nuclear bomb.
But looking at it from another angle, this also confirmed his guess that the equipment carried on the Pioneer was not as exaggerated as imagined.
Think about it too, after all, this group of people can't even be considered professional soldiers.
What is it in their own words? Professional security?
However, the two guns were replaced by two conventional shells, and this wave is still a bit of a loss. Especially the anti-aircraft rocket launcher on his side, which didn't even touch the other party's camera, which was a dangerous signal.
Looking at the sea of flames, instead of showing any frustration in Vanus' eyes, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
"...Is this the power of metallic hydrogen?"
Only 1 kg of powder is used, the volume is equivalent to 1 liter of water, but the power is 35 times that of TNT, and the violent speed is more than 2 times.
Vanus doesn't understand those esoteric knowledge, but he can feel the power at his fingertips.
If the Legion could master these weapons, Vanus felt that he could lead his people all the way to the east coast and build an empire even bigger than it was two centuries ago.
There is no doubt about it!
At this moment, his adjutant came towards him.
"Sir, the other party has not moved."
Vanus narrowed his eyes slightly and looked to the south.
"It looks like they're going to save the big show for tonight."
The adjutant said respectfully.
"As you predicted."
"That is inevitable," Vanus raised his chin slightly, and ordered, "Bazooka, grenades, cluster grenades and explosives... all the anti-armor weapons that can be used are sent out, let the brothers on the front line prepare Well, and tell them that the day of allegiance has come!"
The adjutant nodded excitedly.
"Yes!"
...
Action camp.
Standing in the smoke, Lucius raised the Warhammer forward, and the nitrogen wall formed by the high-pressure airflow stopped all the fragments and blew them away.
Yaya, who was hugging Shuri, looked dazed, looking at the back of the manager in the billowing dust, little stars gradually appeared in his eyes.
How handsome!
Because she was too focused on watching, she accidentally forgot about someone...
"Woooo!!"
Lucius glanced at Shuri struggling in her arms—and the wooden box that fell on the ground, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Out of habit, he still asked.
"Are you okay?"
Shuri, who was about to suffocate, finally broke free, her hair was disheveled, her face was flushed, and she stared angrily at Yaya who almost sent her away.
"What are you doing! I, I, I almost died!"
The latter, however, is completely unconscious.
At this moment, Yaya's attention has been completely taken away by that handsome side face and back view, and she just nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and her stammering voice became high-pitched.
"No, it's okay! Master Manager, Yaya won't die, but you, that...are you not injured?"
Lucius smiled lightly.
Joke. If this can hurt him, he won't come up to help. With his 12 points of perception and 11 points of agility, plus the speed bonus provided by the exoskeleton, he would definitely be able to run away if he ran.
In fact, when the first shell landed next to The Cowboy Team, Lucius had a preliminary judgment on the power of the explosion.
The charge should be conventional explosives, the charge is estimated to be 2 to 3 kilograms, and the killing radius is estimated to be about 10 meters.
Of course, the power of the shrapnel is hard to say. If you are unlucky, you will not die or be disabled if you are unlucky.
So when he sensed that the second shell was coming towards this side, Lucius didn't lie down at all, he pulled out the hammer on his back and pointed forward, opening the "Shield wall".
The landing point is 12 meters away.
The airflow released by the high pressure perfectly prevented the shock waves and fragments from the explosion.
Not only did he save the clothes that Shuri had made with great difficulty, but also Werther, who was standing next to him, was also saved by him.
There will be opportunities to use this favor.
"Cough! Cough cough...Thank you, you saved my life."
When the shells fell, Werther felt his heartbeat froze, until a gust of wind brought sand into his mouth, which woke him up choking.
"You're welcome."
Looking at the two bomb craters in the camp and the little player lying on the ground beside him, Lucius stared at him with a serious expression and continued to ask.
"I want to know what the hell is going on here?"
Werther swallowed and said nervously.
"I don't know, I'm in touch with the logistics department, but my colleagues haven't answered me yet... I guess they are also in a hurry right now, can you give me some time?"
Lucius nodded.
"This is not urgent, it is important to treat the wounded."
Werther's mood sank, and he said quickly.
"Let me help you!"
Lucius quickly persuaded him: "Hurry up and get in touch with your colleagues, we can handle it here."
Unexpectedly, he would be rejected, Werther was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.
"Okay……"
Next to another explosion crater.
The generously built Roushaa The Big Momo released Tail and Sisi from his arms, with a look of fear on her face.
"Be careful."
Although she was also very scared, she still instinctively hugged the two people next to her, using her thick and strong back and fur to block the flying shrapnel.
The white bear hair was covered with blood, but it didn't hurt. The recovery speed of the alien players was fast, and it probably healed in a while.
Speaking of which, this is the first time she has suffered a lottery since entering the game.
"I think your worries are unfounded. Tail was obviously planning to lie down towards the bomb crater just now." Sisi rubbed his face, dignifiedly straightened his messy bangs and hair, "By the way, Sisi also felt that your actions are unnecessary."
Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, Tail shouted angrily from the side.
"Hey! I am not dead! Let's give it another shot!"
Sisi sighed, and pulled back Tail that was punching the sky.
"Quickly stop Tail, this is too fake."
Roushaa The Big Momo: (｡ŏ﹏ŏ)
It happened very suddenly.
Although the alarm sounded two hours ago, no one thought that nothing happened when the alarm sounded. Two hours later, the shells fell.
Two shells landed in the camp, wounding more than ten people, two of whom died on the spot.
The wrench and the others stood relatively far away, and luckily they were not affected. Only Werther was in the camp on the Pioneer, and was rescued by Lucius.
Only worlds where the player is injured are reached.
Surprisingly, The Cowboy Team near the impact point of the shell suffered only minor injuries.
But think about it too. The player with the highest perception in the whole server was in their team, and the four of them cooperated very tacitly. Almost as soon as Walker gave an alert, the other three immediately dispersed and fell down with him.
The worst thing is to Quit Smoking...
This guy was only five meters away from the center of the explosion, and he was lying down in the wrong direction. He rushed directly towards the landing point, and with a bang, he couldn't even find his body.
Beside the crater, looking at the charred half of his leg, Walker couldn't help but hit his tongue.
"...I suspect he was targeted by Brother Light."
Gale patted the ashes on the clothes, and after taking a look at the tragedy, he couldn't help but look away.
"This is so f*ckingly miserable... People are gone as soon as they enter the game."
Bunny sighed and said.
"However, the compensation of 100 silver coins is not a bad thing. This brother doesn't even need to move bricks. He can buy a rifle as soon as he comes up... By the way, why should we hide?"
Walker looked dumbfounded.
"Yeah...why are you hiding here?"
It was almost a subsidy!
Tomorrow patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's fine to hide, but if we don't survive within four days, won't our right of priority to explore be taken away by others?"
Hearing this sentence, Walker, who was still regretting it a second ago, also reacted now
"Hiss...you say that, it seems to make sense, but luckily we didn't die."
Gale nodded.
"If you are not sure when the bug will be fixed, the subsidy is more profitable for newcomers, but it is average for us."
Bunny: "Indeed."
Central camp.
A group of players rolled on the ground and wailed. The scene was so miserable that those who heard it were sad and cried when they saw it.
"I think I can't do it!"
"Head, my head, it hurts so much! It's shell shock! Fix me up!"
"Can you act like a little bit? Will this game give you a headache!"
"God! Master forgot it! Hold my VM... bring it back for me!"
"Damn! You just sprained your foot, what's the matter? I can't stand it anymore!"
"By the way, what bombed it! Where is the enemy? Brothers, copy the guy and f*ck it!"
Lucius couldn't stand it anymore, and kicked a few players who were obviously messing around offline for two seconds to calm down, and then he would be honest after going online again.
At this time, Oliver, who was wearing power armor, came from the direction of the Pioneer.
Looking at the shelter residents lying on the campsite, his heart couldn't help tightening, and he blamed himself.
These people are here to support them. Instead, they get drawn into a fight that doesn't belong to them.
Obviously, the people in the legion came for people like themselves.
"The wounded and the dead... I have arranged for people to be sent back to the shelter. I need an explanation about what happened today."
Seeing Lucius approaching, Oliver was silent for a while.
"It's from the Legion."
Lucius was slightly taken aback.
"... Legion?"
"Well," Oliver nodded, and said, "That's a group of organized predators, mainly active in the west. But recently they seem to have sent an expeditionary force towards the Great Rift Valley in the northern part of the River Valley Province, where they fought with The local survivors are fighting."
Reminiscent of the news brought by the merchants in Red River Town, the nomads who wandered from the north, and the broadcast heard in the old mayor's house, Lucius felt that all kinds of clues seemed to be connected together.
He nodded slightly and said.
"I've heard of it... but I only know that there is a war in the north, not what they are fighting."
Oliver: "I do know some inside information, but I'm afraid it has little to do with today's events, and you probably aren't interested either."
"I want to know," Lucius stared at Oliver, and said, "Please tell me if it's convenient, it's very important to me and my residents."
Oliver was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.
"Then let me start with the things in the north."
Lucius waited quietly for him to continue speaking.
"Actually, not only the legion, many people in the company are also full of interest in the Great Rift Valley. It used to be the National Geopark of the People's Federation, and it is also the site of the "Pangu" energy storage center."
Hearing an unexpected term, Lucius was slightly taken aback.
"Pangu Energy Storage Center?"
Oliver nodded.
"Yes, in the pre-war era, people built many magnificent wonders, and the Pangu Energy Storage Center is one of them. Because the power grid load difference between day and night in the central region is too large, it is mainly used to store the excess surplus of the grid, and at the same time use these surplus electric energies to improve the atmospheric environment."
Lucius frowned.
"Store energy from nuclear fusion? How is that done?"
Oliver: "It is said to be electrolysis of seawater."
Lucius: "How much is that..."
Oliver: "I don't know. I only heard a lot. The chlorine gas produced as a by-product can even be used as an industrial raw material to supply the surrounding industrial areas. Therefore, a large amount of solid hydrogen and other things are stored underground in the Pangu Energy Storage Center. .”
"In the early years, the 111th Orbital Airborne Division was stationed there. It is said that after the Wasteland Era, military control continued for a period of time, and it accommodated a large number of survivors who fled from other areas. It is not clear after that... Anyway, now, there It has developed into a large survivor stronghold. Their industrial capabilities are not strong, but they have inherited a lot of pre-war equipment, and some equipment can still be used even today.”
"I think you should be able to guess that such high-threat strategic facilities are usually designed with strict defense measures, and one of the sayings I heard is that those facilities are still working."
Lucius nodded.
Although he has never seen it before, he can imagine the extent to which the pre-war society protected it by analogy with the Three Gorges Project.
Even his own hammer can be covered with a nitrogen shield.
Is it not too much to put a plasma shield on the Great Rift Valley or directly use a special field shield?
As for whether there is such a thing, I don't know. Anyway, there is even cold fusion, let's make a bold guess.
It's okay to guess wrong.
Oliver continued.
"People from the enterprise sent an expeditionary force to the Great Rift Valley before, but it should have failed in the end. According to the information we collected during the journey, the people from the Legion also sent an expeditionary force to the Great Rift Valley about a year ago. But it looks like he must have suffered a lot.”
Lucius: "Then why did they appear here? It's at least 500 kilometers from the northernmost part of River Valley Province to here, right? The actual distance may be thousands of kilometers."
Marching on the wasteland is not the same as crossing the great plains. Even if the large ruins can be bypassed, the small ruins have to be walked step by step.
Unless it can run over like the Pioneer.
Oliver said in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid they're coming after us."
Lucius: "... Came here after you?"
"Yes," Oliver nodded, "It is obvious that there are only two corridors running through the east and west of the River Valley Province, one is located in the central plain, and the other is located in the south. Although the Pioneer allows us to carry a large amount of production The data crosses the wilderness, but there are obvious disadvantages, we can only go to the plains."
Lucius frowned and said, "But why did they—"
Oliver shook his head and said.
"There is no reason, this is one of the laws of survival. Strictly speaking, as I told you earlier, the Legion is a group of organized raiders who drive cheap clone cannon fodder to fight and enslave the captured survivors as labor When we planned the route, we deliberately chose the route farther away from them, but we did not expect to be targeted."
Lucius nodded thoughtfully.
Such a big fat sheep passed by his own land, and everyone wanted to gather some wool.
It's nothing more than a question of how to squeeze. But having said that, the people in Boulder City can sit still.
The two largest forces in the wasteland have opened up at the door of the house, and they are hiding on the edge of the Third Ring Road, but they are calm, and there is no movement at all.
Lucius remembered correctly, the combat effectiveness of that group seemed to be quite strong.
Isn't it still claimed to provide defense outsourcing?
Why didn't I see the salesman come over?

Oliver: "That's all the information we have. They probably hope to get something good from us, and then help them win the war that was doomed from the beginning."
Lucius: "How many people are there?"
Oliver: "Two thousand."
Lucius: "???"
What the hell?

Boom!!
The air wave of the explosion spread, setting off billows of dust in the center of the screen.
The combat command center was noisy.
"Grenade!"
"F*ck—they have artillery!"
"The enemy's artillery position has been locked...The fixed-wing unmanned aircraft is on its way...It was intercepted by enemy air defense fire."
"Shot?"

10 kilometers away.
The artillery positions turned into a sea of flames.
The fixed-wing drone flying in the sky launched a surgical attack on the two artillery pieces at the same time, and two high-explosive missiles fell from the sky, directly causing the two artillery pieces that Vanus hid in the woods to cease fire physically.
There were also 600 rounds of medium-caliber electromagnetic acceleration projectiles that poured down together, killing about 30 or so clone soldiers around them in a venting manner.
But that doesn't make much sense.
There are as many cannon fodders as there are Vanus.

Action camp.
Standing in the smoke, Lucius raised the Warhammer forward, and the nitrogen wall formed by the high-pressure airflow stopped all the fragments and blew them away.
Yaya, who was hugging Shuri, looked dazed, looking at the back of the manager in the billowing dust, little stars gradually appeared in his eyes.
How handsome!
Because she was too focused on watching, she accidentally forgot about someone...

Lucius glanced at Shuri struggling in her arms—and the wooden box that fell on the ground, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The airflow released by the high pressure perfectly prevented the shock waves and fragments from the explosion.
Not only did he save the clothes that Shuri had made with great difficulty, but also Werther, who was standing next to him, was also saved by him.
There will be opportunities to use this favor.
"Cough! Cough cough...Thank you, you saved my life."
When the shells fell, Werther felt his heartbeat froze, until a gust of wind brought sand into his mouth, which woke him up choking.
"You're welcome."
Looking at the two bomb craters in the camp and the little player lying on the ground beside him, Lucius stared at him with a serious expression and continued to ask.

Next to another explosion crater.
The generously built Roushaa The Big Momo released Tail and Sisi from his arms, with a look of fear on her face.

A group of players rolled on the ground and wailed. The scene was so miserable that those who heard it were sad and cried when they saw it.
"I think I can't do it!"
"Head, my head, it hurts so much! It's shell shock! Fix me up!"
"Can you act like a little bit? Will this game give you a headache!"
"God! Master forgot it! Hold my VM... bring it back for me!"
"Damn! You just sprained your foot, what's the matter? I can't stand it anymore!"
"By the way, what bombed it! Where is the enemy? Brothers, copy the guy and f*ck it!"
Lucius couldn't stand it anymore, and kicked a few players who were obviously messing around offline for two seconds to calm down, and then he would be honest after going online again.
At this time, Oliver, who was wearing power armor, came from the direction of the Pioneer.
Looking at the shelter residents lying on the campsite, his heart couldn't help tightening, and he blamed himself.
These people are here to support them. Instead, they get drawn into a fight that doesn't belong to them.
Obviously, the people in the legion came for people like themselves.
"The wounded and the dead... I have arranged for people to be sent back to the shelter. I need an explanation about what happened today."
Seeing Lucius approaching, Oliver was silent for a while.
"It's from the Legion."
Lucius was slightly taken aback.
"... Legion?"
"Well," Oliver nodded, and said, "That's a group of organized predators, mainly active in the west. But recently they seem to have sent an expeditionary force towards the Great Rift Valley in the northern part of the River Valley Province, where they fought with The local survivors are fighting."
Reminiscent of the news brought by the merchants in Red River Town, the nomads who wandered from the north, and the broadcast heard in the old mayor's house, Lucius felt that all kinds of clues seemed to be connected together.
He nodded slightly and said.
"I've heard of it... but I only know that there is a war in the north, not what they are fighting."
Oliver: "I do know some inside information, but I'm afraid it has little to do with today's events, and you probably aren't interested either."
"I want to know," Lucius stared at Oliver, and said, "Please tell me if it's convenient, it's very important to me and my residents."
Oliver was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.
"Then let me start with the things in the north."
Lucius waited quietly for him to continue speaking.
"Actually, not only the legion, many people in the company are also full of interest in the Great Rift Valley. It used to be the National Geopark of the People's Federation, and it is also the site of the "Pangu" energy storage center."
Hearing an unexpected term, Lucius was slightly taken aback.
"Pangu Energy Storage Center?"
Oliver nodded.
"Yes, in the pre-war era, people built many magnificent wonders, and the Pangu Energy Storage Center is one of them. Because the power grid load difference between day and night in the central region is too large, it is mainly used to store the excess surplus of the grid, and at the same time use these surplus electric energies to improve the atmospheric environment."
Lucius frowned.
"Store energy from nuclear fusion? How is that done?"
Oliver: "It is said to be electrolysis of seawater."
Lucius: "How much is that..."
Oliver: "I don't know. I only heard a lot. The chlorine gas produced as a by-product can even be used as an industrial raw material to supply the surrounding industrial areas. Therefore, a large amount of solid hydrogen and other things are stored underground in the Pangu Energy Storage Center. .”
"In the early years, the 111th Orbital Airborne Division was stationed there. It is said that after the Wasteland Era, military control continued for a period of time, and it accommodated a large number of survivors who fled from other areas. It is not clear after that... Anyway, now, there It has developed into a large survivor stronghold. Their industrial capabilities are not strong, but they have inherited a lot of pre-war equipment, and some equipment can still be used even today.”
"I think you should be able to guess that such high-threat strategic facilities are usually designed with strict defense measures, and one of the sayings I heard is that those facilities are still working."
Lucius nodded.
Although he has never seen it before, he can imagine the extent to which the pre-war society protected it by analogy with the Three Gorges Project.
Even his own hammer can be covered with a nitrogen shield.
Is it not too much to put a plasma shield on the Great Rift Valley or directly use a special field shield?
As for whether there is such a thing, I don't know. Anyway, there is even cold fusion, let's make a bold guess.
It's okay to guess wrong.
Oliver continued.
"People from the enterprise sent an expeditionary force to the Great Rift Valley before, but it should have failed in the end. According to the information we collected during the journey, the people from the Legion also sent an expeditionary force to the Great Rift Valley about a year ago. But it looks like he must have suffered a lot.”
Lucius: "Then why did they appear here? It's at least 500 kilometers from the northernmost part of River Valley Province to here, right? The actual distance may be thousands of kilometers."
Marching on the wasteland is not the same as crossing the great plains. Even if the large ruins can be bypassed, the small ruins have to be walked step by step.
Unless it can run over like the Pioneer.
Oliver said in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid they're coming after us."
Lucius: "... Came here after you?"
"Yes," Oliver nodded, "It is obvious that there are only two corridors running through the east and west of the River Valley Province, one is located in the central plain, and the other is located in the south. Although the Pioneer allows us to carry a large amount of production The data crosses the wilderness, but there are obvious disadvantages, we can only go to the plains."
Lucius frowned and said, "But why did they—"
Oliver shook his head and said.
"There is no reason, this is one of the laws of survival. Strictly speaking, as I told you earlier, the Legion is a group of organized raiders who drive cheap clone cannon fodder to fight and enslave the captured survivors as labor When we planned the route, we deliberately chose the route farther away from them, but we did not expect to be targeted."
Lucius nodded thoughtfully.
Such a big fat sheep passed by his own land, and everyone wanted to gather some wool.
It's nothing more than a question of how to squeeze. But having said that, the people in Boulder City can sit still.
The two largest forces in the wasteland have opened up at the door of the house, and they are hiding on the edge of the Third Ring Road, but they are calm, and there is no movement at all.
Lucius remembered correctly, the combat effectiveness of that group seemed to be quite strong.
Isn't it still claimed to provide defense outsourcing?
Why didn't I see the salesman come over?

Oliver: "That's all the information we have. They probably hope to get something good from us, and then help them win the war that was doomed from the beginning."
Lucius: "How many people are there?"
Oliver: "Two thousand."
Lucius: "???"
What the hell?
