Chapter 562 melee in the dark

   Chapter 562 The melee in the night

“Snapped!”

  The sudden sound of gunfire shattered the silence of the night, and the originally quiet street was like a pot of boiling water, completely boiling.

   “Thumbs up—!”

  The orange-yellow tracer shuttled recklessly in the night, and the continuous gunshots were like exploding firecrackers, and the mutants in the park were caught off guard.

   But only at the beginning.

  Those mutants seem to be accustomed to sudden surprise attacks.

   They dragged their fallen companions back behind the cover, then picked up the guy, roaring and launched a counterattack in the direction of the gunshots.

  Ye ten quickly glanced at the map, and then faced the area where the gunshots sounded.

   He can be sure.

   There is no one there.

   Almost at the same time as the gunshots exploded, a loud noise came from the communication channel.

   “Fuck, who fired the gun?!”

   “Night Ten???”

   Hearing his ID, Ye Shi couldn’t help spraying.

   “Did you hear the sound of the electromagnetic gun?”

   These dog things!

   I was still making fun of Lao Tzu at this time.

   “Quiet! It’s not our gunshots!” At the critical moment, Old Bai was still reliable and quickly interrupted the quarrel in the public wheat.

   If you listen carefully, the first gunshot is indeed not the sound of LD-47. After playing the game for so long, he can still hear the gunshot.

   However, among the crackling gunshots that sounded later, several of them were clearly LD-47s.

   Maybe it was because the recoil of the full-power bullets could not be suppressed. Those shots were very short, maintaining the rhythm of two or three shots per shuttle.

  Yaju immediately made a judgment in his heart.

   These people are all using brand-name equipment!

   Although it is impossible to judge whether these people are elite just from the sound of gunfire, at least it can be judged that they should not be very rich.

   Is it a mercenary?

   Just as he was thinking so, Elder Fang’s voice came from the communication channel. Listening to the few gunshots that Merry leaked, the B team he led should be very close to the fire area.

   “…There’s a firefight on North 13th Street, and someone other than us is eyeing this place.”

  At the same time as reporting the situation, a group of photos was uploaded to the team member’s VM synchronously.

  Although the street shrouded in darkness was pitch-dark, the outline of the group of people could still be roughly seen by the light of the gunfire.

   There are about a dozen of them, wearing different styles of casual clothes, and their weapons are also different. It is impossible to judge their camp by the equipment.

   However, they all have a unified sign, which is the armband wrapped around the left arm. It seems to have an elongated arrow drawn on it, and when enlarged, it looks like a high-voltage electrical tower or a signal tower.

   At this time, news came from the wind.

   “The nearby mutant tribes sent reinforcements. The terrain is complicated and the number of people cannot be determined. There are twelve modified armored vehicles that can be seen.”

   Ye Shi was shocked when he heard the words.

   “Armored vehicles?!”

  Gale: “It’s just a modification to the extent of welded steel plates… But there are some strange weapons on it that I’m more concerned about. These mutants may not be the same as the ones we encountered before.”

  Old Bai: “How long will it take to arrive?”

   Gale: “Within three minutes.”

After the    communication channel paused briefly, Lao Bai made a decisive judgment.

   “We’ll have to figure out a way to figure out their identities, preferably with two alive.”

   The group of unknown armed forces that suddenly launched an attack was obviously just a feint, and had no intention of knocking down the research facility occupied by the mutants.

   This is a good judgement.

  Guerrilla warfare and fortified warfare are completely different in terms of play style and scale. He could tell just by listening to the intensity of the exchange of fire and the distribution of gunfire. This group of people had already planned their escape route when they launched the attack.

   Apparently it’s not the first time they’ve harassed mutants here.

  If these NPCs are the same as the resistance organization in Xizhou City, they are all survivors who were oppressed by mutants and the Torch Church.

   They might be able to cooperate.

  Fang Chang: “Leave it to me… 80% of the people on my side are going to have an accident, they should be able to save one or two.”

  Old Bai: “Ye Shi, you support him. Groups A, C, and D retreat, and leave it to Group B and investigation.”

The    communication channel came with a uniform answer.

“receive!”

   In the darkness, a group of soldiers dressed in exoskeletons began to move, Fang Chang and three teammates approached the rear of the group of guerrillas they were targeting.

The    mutants were apparently eyeing this group as well.

   The green-skinned guys seemed to know that it was impossible to catch all the mice, so they planned to concentrate on catching the most jumping ones first.

   The group of guerrilla soldiers also seemed to realize something and began to shrink their positions, but they were not facing ordinary soldiers, but mutants who were not afraid of death.

   Those green-skinned guys are like cancer cells, even if they are blown away, they can still live. Unless the bullet smashed the skull, a few shots in the body wouldn’t hurt or itch for them at all.

   In order to avoid being stunned by the grass, the Viper transport plane parked in the tall building evacuated the battlefield first and flew to the evacuation point at the back.

   was lying on the edge of the building again.

  Ye Ten skillfully unfolded the bipod of the Type 15 “Boa” Gauss rifle and adjusted the scope to thermal imaging mode.

   The field of view is black and white.

   Hiding in the darkness, the white light spots revealed the positions of both sides in an instant.

   “Can you see at three o’clock?”

   Comparing the map and markings on the tactical eyepiece, Ye Shi quickly determined the location Fang Chang said.

   A group of mutants are moving fast in the half-collapsed high-rise building, it seems that they intend to move to the side and rear of the guerrillas to establish a firepower point.

   Looking at the mutant who threw the machine gun to the side of the broken window and unfolded the stand, a flash of surprise flashed in Ye Shi’s eyes.

   Good guy!

   These mutants still understand tactics? !

   Without hesitation, he immediately replied on the communication channel.

   “I saw… a team of ten people, they were going to set up machine guns.”

   Fang Chang: “Knock them out!”

“receive!”

When the    voice fell, Ye Shi had already pulled the trigger.

   The arc between the gun chambers flashed slightly, and the recoil hit the shoulder armor evenly, and the stamina was like throwing a javelin.

   At the same time, the mutant who was holding a machine gun a few hundred meters away, his head was instantly like a watermelon hit by a sap, and the red and white were scattered all over the ground.

“One!”

   Against soft targets without armor protection, no need to charge capacitors, just one blow to the head.

   Killed one of the night ten, did not relax his breath, quickly aimed at the next target – the mutant who jumped up to take over the machine gun.

“two!”

   The moment the trigger was pulled, another head was blasted into shards.

   Two mutant warriors in a row had their heads exploded, and the remaining eight mutants suddenly panicked, screaming and daring to touch the machine gun standing by the window.

   Seeing that no one showed up for a long time, Ye Shi gently exhaled the turbid air in his chest, and a faint smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth.

   “Machine gun firepower suppressed successfully!”

   Fang Chang’s voice came from the communication channel.

   “Beautiful work! Keep it down… Leave the rest to me!”

The    tactical eyepiece projected an aerial photograph of the drone, which could be seen through the holographic image Ye Shi. The team led by Fang Chang successfully intercepted the mutant team that circled behind the guerrillas.

   These guys are really different from the mutants they’ve ever encountered.

   Although the tactics of these green-skinned guys are not proficient, they can even be said to be simple and rude, lacking in skills, but with the tough physique of mutants, it is just right.

   A piercing hum accelerated towards the ground, and the convoy of mutants reinforced in the distance burst into flames.

   That is the handwriting of the wind.

   Judging from the power of the explosion, it was obviously a “switchblade” that shined brightly in the battle of Xizhou City. This thing can overturn even the Conqueror No. 10 tank, and it is more than enough to destroy a modified truck.

   The sudden explosion blocked the streets of the reinforcements, which bought the besieged partisans some time to retreat.

   Those people have obviously noticed the helper who suddenly appeared and are trying to join the team led by Fang Chang.

“receive!”

   replied briefly, Ye Shi continued to stare at the thermal imager, his eyes fixed on the machine gun and waited for the rabbit, but after waiting for a long time, no third head appeared.

   A faint source of heat could be seen by the broken door, and he could be sure the mutants were still there. Those animals could never have dreamed that their heavy breath was also a source of heat, which was also outlined in the lens by the thermal imager.

   His index finger rubbed the trigger, and Ye Shi waited a little impatiently.

  To be honest, after playing this game for so long, it was the first time he had seen such a cowardly mutant. After two died, he would hide behind the cover and dare not show his face.

   With a move in his heart, a sinister smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.

   “You like to hide behind cover, don’t you?”

   Just in time to try out new gear.

   Previously in Luoxia Province, he thought that he could rely on the range advantage and armor-piercing ability of the Gauss rifle to show off his strengths, but he did not expect that his expectations were in vain.

The terrain there is indeed wide, but because it is too wide, the distance between the two sides is far beyond the range of rifles. The ultra-long-distance operations are basically handed over to tanks, aircraft and artillery. The few raids he participated in did not have sniper rifles at all. A place to flex your muscles.

   As soon as he said it, Ye Shi took out a spike-shaped bullet from the back of his butt.

  This thing is an armor-piercing projectile designed for concrete bunkers, and it is specially designed to deal with those old Yinbi who are hiding and not showing their heads.

   stuffed the bullet into the barrel of the gun, Ye Shi pressed the charging switch of the capacitor, and then slowly pulled the trigger.

  The current rushed from the battery to the high-energy capacitor, and the hot plasma rolled in the barrel of the gun and was released the moment he released the trigger.

   With a short explosion, the hot air squeezed out from the muzzle, creating a circle of ripples in the muzzle, and together with the high-speed bullet, it penetrated the sound barrier!

The    bullet drew a hot and transparent trajectory in the night sky, blasted into the black window like a cannonball, and directly shattered an entire wall.

  The reverse recoil caused the shoulder armor to shake slightly. Looking at the corpse with white light in the thermal imager, Ye Shi couldn’t help but raise a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

   “Three!”

   The power of this Gauss rifle is really unbearable, and the man and the wall were directly shattered.

   Although it’s a bit wasteful, it’s cool!

   After getting this shot, the mutants were obviously stunned. I didn’t know that the guerrillas who came to find fault every day actually had this ability.

   separated by a distance of several hundred meters, Ye Shi could not hear their communication, but it seemed that they were too frightened to stay behind the wall, and they all fled downstairs.

“too weak!”

   However, just when he was complacent, a warning sign quietly climbed into his heart, causing the hair on his body to stand up involuntarily.

   Something is following him!

   He could faintly perceive the existence of that thing, but he could not perceive the specific direction of the killing intent!

  It is certain that the guy has been eyeing him for a while, maybe when he fired the first shot.

   It’s only now that it’s within the range of his perception…

   This guy is strong!

   Immediately raised a 120-point vigilance in his heart, Ye Shi didn’t dare to be too big, and immediately put away the Gauss rifle on the edge of the building, retreated to the entrance of the safe passage, and shouted on the communication channel at the same time.

   “I seem to be being targeted!”

   A long voice came from his ear.

   “You come back first, and go to the evacuation point immediately! We are ready to call it a day.”

   Ye Shi immediately replied.

   “Received! See you at the base!”

   punched open the rusted security door.

The moment    retreated from the roof to the top floor, Ye Shi clearly felt that the omen of the crisis was getting stronger and stronger.

   If you go down the stairs, you might run into the group of mutants head-on, and even power armor may not be able to please in the narrow terrain.

   What’s more, he is not good at frontal combat, but shooting black guns from a distance.

  Thinking of this, Ye Shi had an idea and decided to give up the stairs, dodged to the elevator, and opened the rusty elevator door with both hands.

   The elevator shaft was pitch black, and the situation below could not be seen clearly.

   stretched out his hand and tugged at the cable hanging in the center. After confirming that the bearing capacity was sufficient, he put the hook lock on, then pulled the cable and jumped towards the bottom of the elevator shaft.

  “呲—”

   Although the weight of the power armor is more than one ton, it is also within the weighing range of the elevator system, and the process of locking and lowering is fairly stable.

   However, the sour metal fricative sound was a bit louder than he expected.

   “Mom…don’t be overheard.”

   Shouldn’t it be?

  Isn’t the sound insulation effect of the elevator shaft very strong?

   Just as he was thinking so, the outline of the elevator car suddenly appeared below, Ye Shi quickly clamped his legs and hooks and started to slow down.

   He stepped heavily on the top of the elevator car, and the elevator car squeaked and swayed.

  Ye Shi quickly glanced at the number on the wall and found that this was the tenth floor, and he was relieved.

   It should be no problem to take the stairs next.

   He grabbed the handle of the elevator car top door with his right hand, and Ye Shiyi pulled it off the elevator car top and threw it aside.

   However, just as he was about to step in with one foot first, his expression changed slightly.

  What the hell? !

   This hole is small!

   The top door of the elevator car is only about 1.5 shoulders wide, just enough to get stuck on his shoulder armor. If it gets stuck in the air halfway down, then A Guang, who is peeping at the screen, will not be able to laugh out loud.

   That can’t be done!

   “MMP! It’s a problem for Lao Tzu!”

How to do?

   Ye Shi immediately looked around to find a way out, but at this moment, his feet suddenly became empty and he lost the touch of the ground.

   “Crack!”

   The momentary sense of weightlessness almost overturned him, and the sound of the explosion above his head made him immediately realize what happened.

   Someone blew the cable.

  The last time it was overhauled was two centuries ago. After the elevator car with a completely failed braking system lost its only traction, it immediately began a free fall in the elevator shaft.

   Looking at the rapidly descending floor, Ye Shi’s face changed wildly.

   Although his power armor is the legacy of the Orbital Airborne Division, it must be used with the airborne pod. He has not heard of any power armor that can jump down with a weight of more than a ton.

   Maybe some pentagon warrior can.

   But it is a pity that the character he has trained is just a weak chicken of perception.

   “I’m blanching—!”

   Careless!

  …

   At the same time, in Hope Town, dozens of kilometers away, Xiao Yu No. 1, who was standing on the edge of the town, suddenly raised his head slightly.

   “Huh?”

   Hearing the voice coming from the communication channel, Luo Yu stopped and looked back at it.

“What’s wrong?”

   Yuichi and Yuji looked at each other and tilted their heads for unknown reasons. Yu San looked around, and suddenly a sentence popped out of his mouth.

   “Boil!”

  Luoyu: “…”

  嗐.

   He thought that Xiao Yu had found something, but it turned out that he just wanted to stink.

   Heaved a sigh of relief, Luo Yu was about to keep up with the convoy when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a green-skinned guy walking out through the gate of the town.

   Although it was night and the lights under the fence gate were dim, he was sure that he could not see wrong, the face under the hood was green.

   Just don’t know why, his physique is not as burly as mutants, and his bones and body lines are closer to humans.

   Luo Yu, who was covered in the countdown of hairs, pulled out his weapon almost in a conditioned reflex and aimed it at the guy’s head.

   This sudden movement startled everyone around.

   Wu Wenzhou, who led the team, didn’t understand the situation, and the green-skinned guy did the same thing as Luo Yu. And this also led to ten more rifles pointed at his head.

   Seeing the two people fighting each other, the old guard who was standing at the gate of the town immediately took off the rifle on his back and walked towards this side with it in his hand.

   “Hey! Stop it guys! Private fights are prohibited within 100 meters of the town!”

   Seeing the jet-black exoskeleton, he instinctively shuddered, but he still scolded.

   “Mutants!” Luo Yu stared at the green-skinned guy, “Does this settlement allow mutants to come in and do business?”

   “That guy…not really.”

   The guard’s expression was a little embarrassed. He didn’t seem to know how to explain it, and he was a little hesitant to help that guy.

   There is no doubt that fighting is forbidden in settlements. This is the rule, especially for Hope Town, which needs to rely on trade to survive.

   After all, if there are no rules, it will be all messed up.

   But to be honest, he doesn’t like these green-skinned guys very much, even if they look more human, they have half mutant blood flowing through them.

  Especially most of them are from that mutant tribe called “Chi”.

   Survivors in the entire Jinhe City area do not hate and fear those guys.

  The green-skinned guy looked at Luo Yu coldly, suddenly pouted, put away his weapon, and silently took off his pants.

   Startled by his action, Luo Yu quickly covered his eyes with his left hand, but in order to aim, he couldn’t completely block it, so he missed a finger gap.

   “Fuck, what are you doing—?”

Huh?

No?

   Looking at the smooth green skin, Luo Yu was stunned.

   He read in the information on the official website, it is said that some mutants do not have Tintin, especially the oldest ones.

   They were not made by breeding, but were born in culture tanks, and some of them were even engineers and scholars. If they hadn’t gone mad, they might have retained human sanity, but that kind of existence was too rare.

  Most guys who are canned and forced to become mutants go mad for various reasons and become downright animals.

   There are very few people who can stay awake.

   Since this species synthesized through technical means cannot reproduce, the speed of expanding the population size is obviously not as fast as that of the mainstream species on the wasteland, so it is almost impossible to encounter it in the wasteland.

   I can’t be fixed by this strange guy.

   And when Luo Yu came back to his senses, he had already raised his pants and walked away.

“…Mixed species, you can occasionally see such a guy, inheriting a little more of the mother’s genes, neither reproductive ability nor mutant physique. I heard that out of 10,000 mutant cubs, there will probably be one or two. Well, but who knows? Mutants don’t give birth in front of us either.”

   “Also, the mutants themselves don’t like these guys very much, and usually take them as a disgrace and leave them to fend for themselves in the wasteland.”

   Watching the back of the man leaving, the guard who was on duty with his rifle narrowed his eyes and continued.

“how to say?”

   “They’re like mules from a horse and a donkey, haha.”

   The man laughed in a soothing way, and the rest of the caravan laughed along with him, but Luo Yu always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

   This metaphor is not just drawing a line from those “half-breeds” with half-human blood in their veins, it’s like drawing a line with those unfortunate captives caught by mutants.

   He doesn’t know how to evaluate the former, but at least the latter is innocent and shouldn’t be a joke to ease the atmosphere.

   “What’s that… guy’s name?”

“Who knows, they all look alike, no one is interested in staring at their faces, and they generally cover their faces. If you have anything to do with him, just call him ‘hey’. Good hunters, occasionally take some mercenary work, the price is cheap, but usually do not leave the local area.”

   “If you don’t leave the local area, you won’t be able to do business.” Wu Wenzhou patted Luoyu on the shoulder and said with a grin, “Don’t worry about that guy, are you interested in having two drinks?”

   “Yeah.” Luo Yu nodded, he just wanted to inquire about some local information.

  According to Elder Fang’s theory, taverns are the easiest places to collect information, especially taverns frequented by traders and mercenaries.

   Wu Wenzhou glanced at the ten powerful and loyal thugs behind him.

   “How about those?”

   These people are very strong, but they never take off their helmets, and they never even take off their face masks.

  If he could, he wanted to have a good relationship with these guys. Not just for his boss, but for himself.

  Luoyu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

   “Ah, Xiao Yu doesn’t have to.”

   Xiao Yu?

  Which one?

   Wu Wenzhou glanced at the ten thugs, they all seemed to react to the name, so that he couldn’t tell who it was.

   But this kind of thing is not important, there are a lot of weird things in the wasteland.

   He made a haha, beckoned his men to park the car at the hotel he frequented, and then dragged the ruthless man to the bar at the entrance of the town.

   “The Grizzly Bear and the Street Lamp… the name of this tavern, this is a good place!” Wu Wenzhou, who was standing at the door, took a deep breath in intoxication, and then walked into the door with his head held high.

  Luoyu frowned and fanned the vicinity of his nose, biting his head to follow.

  The facade of the tavern looks unimpressive, but the hall and bar are almost full, and the clamorous sounds are endless, and the speakers are playing music that tortures the eardrums, like scratching on a blackboard with a fork.

  More than that, the air here is quite turbid, and in addition to the smell of smoke and sweat, there is also a strange musty smell.

   Can’t tell what that feels like.

   But people here don’t pay much attention.

   Perhaps in the eyes of most people here, this is the only way to feel alive.

   On the wasteland only a hundred meters away, the feeling of being alive is too thin. Even a powerful Awakener may lose his life if he is not careful.

  The radius is about a hundred miles, so here is the only place where you can relax and have a drink without worrying about being blown away by the enemy—unless he doesn’t want to live anymore.

   While talking to Luo Yu about the history of this tavern, Wu Wenzhou found a secluded place and sat down, and ordered a few side dishes and two large glasses of beer from the waiter holding the plate.

   “In Jinchuan Province, everything else is expensive, only food is cheap.”

   In fact, there is another cheap thing.

   That is the population.

  Whether it is men, women, the elderly and children, it is extremely cheap in this fertile and chaotic land, usually only half the price of other places.

   However, considering that this guy is a refugee resident, Wu Wenzhou skipped this kind of thing smartly.

  Luo Yu took a sip of the beer, and the mellow taste was really good, but there was a strange smell in the air here.

   He noticed it from the moment he first came in.

   “It always smells weird.”

   Thought he was talking about this beer, Wu Wenzhou said with a smile.

   “Are you not used to drinking wine outside your hometown?”

   “It has nothing to do with the wine,” Luo Yu nodded, glanced left and right, and whispered, “There is something unclean.”

   He didn’t even know what it was.

   It was Xiao Yu who told him.

   It is said that when I entered the town, I smelled a bad smell, and the closer it was to the tavern, the stronger the smell.

   At this time, the waiter came over with a basket of bread and a green jar, and placed them on the next table.

   “Pine Nut Bread, a specialty here.”

   The mercenary at the next table glanced at the green glass jar and asked curiously.

“what is this?”

   Before the waiter spoke, the man sitting next to the mercenary said with a smile.

   “Hope’s special jam! Delicious stuff, it’s trending in this area lately, you’ll know when you try it! I bet you’ll love it!”

   “Haha, come on, I don’t eat sweet things, I only eat meat!”

   “Try it, I’ll treat you anyway.”

  Instigated by his good brother, the mercenary unscrewed the glass jar curiously, dipped a little with his finger and put it into his mouth, slurped it, and mumbled after tasting it for a while.

   “It’s a little weird, I’ll try it again.”

   Looking at the jar of green jam, Luo Yu suddenly recognized it, and her eyes bulged out.

   Good guy.

  Nagu… jam? !

   Now he finally understands what is making Xiaoyu uncomfortable…
