[Part 1·Smiling Man]
Looking out along the ocean pier, in addition to the iceman Hagalaz, there is another dead giant standing in the sea one kilometer away.
The rune on its head means [Wunjo], which means joy, happiness, and happiness.
There was a deep V-shaped crack on the face of this giant zombie that was still alive, as if the apples of its cheeks had been torn apart by some kind of sharp weapon, revealing a terrifying yet hearty smile.
The larvae of the dead Morpho butterfly burrowed in and out of this crack. Every ten minutes, a huge Mad Butterfly emerged from its cocoon and fell into the sea water, and immediately returned to its giant body.
In Teacher A's [Phoenix] system, the giant's translated name is [The Laughing Man], and he is also the first target identified by Brother Yin Brahimovich.
[The Laughing Man] is not far from the harbor. If the [JoeStar] team wants to test the power of shore artillery and other heavy firearms and test the efficiency of the shells against these ancient objects, it is best to start with the Laughing Man.
[Iceman] is too close to the harbor, and the bombardment will awaken these ultra-ancient creatures. If the undead runes cannot grasp their bodies, even a finger of these giant creatures flying into the outpost can cause great damage. .
Except for Xueming and Teacher A Ling, everyone else followed Brother Yin Bu to the beach to repair the fort for artillery testing.
The local residents of the Red Star Hills gathered together, opened the thick oil paper bags from the old weapons warehouse, pried open the crates, and took out the 110 kilograms of artillery shells.
The twenty-two men stared with big eyes. In the shy expression of Brother Yin Bu, they saw the rusted and rotten freight trucks in the warehouse. They could only roll up their sleeves and work in pairs to carry the heavy shells on the three-wheeled cargo truck. inside.
Starting from the refining factory in the village, Yin Bu Dagoth secretly asked Meteor and others to avoid the factory tower and reservoir and not get close to the long-abandoned factory.
Meteor carried a large steel beam as a pole, with a cannonball hanging on each side, and walked like a tiger. Hearing Brother Yinbu's instructions, he asked curiously.
"What was this factory used to do?"
Brother Yin Bu and his comrades walked to the shallows where the terrain was more dangerous and answered without looking back.
"Refining uranium, making raw materials for nuclear bombs. After all these years, there is still a bit of radiation, so just stay away."
The old factory building is now deserted. It looks like a towering semicircular bunker, like an egg sunk deep into the foundation. Its blue-grey steel shell seems to be ready to deal with the crash attack of the crazy butterfly at any time.
The terrain became steeper and steeper, as if sliding from a giant's knees to his calves. When people reached the security facilities in the shoal, they had to rely on their hands to carry the shells.
There are four roller belts for bomb conveyors along the coastline, which are now rotten and can no longer be used.
Fifty-one Peony 2S7 self-propelled guns stand on the shore, but the bicycle groups of these guns are almost in a state of scrap, and the rusty diesel engines cannot carry their forty-six tons of weight.
Twenty-four cannons had long since abandoned their vehicle structures and replaced the forts with foundation piles driven into the deep rocks of the mudflats.
People walked forward cautiously, walked along the stone road to the artillery position, stood next to the two shore guns, and began to load and test fire.
Brother Yin Bu and Jason shouted: "Yin Asong! You test fire first, and I will correct the ballistic windage."
Jason received the order and sent the shells into the chamber with his companions. Peony's electronic fire control had failed, the loader was out of action, and there was something wrong with the rearward hydraulic guide rod of the gun chamber.
After a while, the clear sound of the gun barrel being locked was heard. Jason pulled and pushed people, asking his friends to stay away. If an artillery of this caliber were to explode, the shock wave of the shell explosion alone would be enough to injure the human body. Internal organs exploded and bones shattered.
They ran almost seventy meters away. Only Brother Yin Bu stayed in the bunker at the beach, looking at the smiling man in the distance, observing the bullet points so as to calculate how to fire the next shot.
Jason tightened his grip on the match rope and gave it a strong force.
"Boom——"
Thick smoke and flames exploded in front of the gun barrel, and the Laughing Man's right shoulder was hit by the cannon, as if he was being pushed hard by an ox or horse. His body also swayed and retreated, and then took a step back. He still stood in the shallow sea area, without falling. Meaning.
The thunderous sound of cannons was like an alarm bell to get up. The [Iceman] closest to the coastline tilted his head slightly, as if attracted by the sound of peonies, he heard the roar of humans.
The [Laughing Man] further away waved his palm and picked out the sesame-sized cannonball on his shoulder with his nails, and then began to let out a loud, slow, and dull laugh.
That kind of low, weird and terrifying sound——
——People first saw the scene of the smiling man shrugging his shoulders and shaking his neck, with his chest rising and falling and his mouthpiece beating. After three seconds, the sound waves and strong winds that arrived late almost washed away the rotten rust on the peonies.
Yin Bu gritted his teeth: "Just laugh! Just laugh!"
The Iceman has no eyes, mouth, or nose, but its ears are very sensitive. When it takes a step toward the coastline, the hot mud immediately begins to roll, turning into heavy waves that pile up towards the artillery positions. Fortunately, this huge sound is The distance of seven hundred meters cannot be crossed.
The Iceman stepped forward again, but he seemed to be tightly grasped by the undead runes. His shin and knees were suddenly exposed to the air. The flesh of his right leg seemed to have been cut away by the ruthless blade of time, and the bones had moved forward. Stepping out, the physical body was kept in place by the inexplicable huge force.
Brother Yin Bu shouted to Jason and threw away his artillery notes.
"Adjust the windage! Aim at the Laughing Man's head! Aim at the runes in his skull!"
Without saying a word, Meteor and Xia Xia cleaned the carbon deposits in the barrel, waited for the barrel to cool down slightly, and then filled in the next ammunition.
Jason had already begun to twist the wheel axle and re-lock the enemy's death door according to the new gunnery windage data.
As long as the undead runes in the heads of these giants can be destroyed, they can be put to sleep forever.
At this time, the Iceman's facial features began to twist and deform, like a big chrysanthemum, and the twisted flesh strips gathered into a strange bulging tube——
——Brother Yin Bu turned pale when he saw this phenomenon.
"Get down! Get down! Get down!"
At that moment, Katyusha fell into a state of frozen fear again, overwhelmed by the powerful spiritual pressure.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Jason pushed the waiter and Diamond into the mire. The three of them fell into the dirty mud, as if they were trapped in a heavy iron coffin, trapped in heavy armor and unable to move.
Meteor crouched in front of the armor plate of the fort, trying to look out of the observation window.
Hundreds of meters away, a jet-black powdery energy stream suddenly shot out from the chrysanthemum-shaped nozzle of [Iceman].
They are like sharp ice and iron rain, drawing an unforgettable straight line in the broad and turbulent offshore shoals!
Jets of black ice flowers swept open gaps several meters deep in the quagmire. These horrific wounds were slowly healing, leaving behind extremely cold ice fragments, like the scars left when the earth began to heal the wounds.
Meteor felt his head and face tilted, as if he had been punched hard. He heard the crackling of the armor plate of the self-propelled gun. When he fell to the ground, he finally woke up. Teacher Sansan gritted his teeth at him through the pressure plate mask of the helmet - —Ask him not to seek death again.
The armor plate of the artillery roared, as if it was being fired by an anti-aircraft machine gun. The ice fragments penetrated into the gaps in the observation window and hit the big eggshell of the refinery, peeling away the age-old muddy glue on the eggshell. object, revealing more of the color of steel.
The jet lasted for a brief moment and then stopped after four seconds.
After [Iceman] used the move "I'll fucking explode", the grotesque strips of meat on his face returned to terrifying pits. He seemed to be exhausted and unbalanced, squatting in the mire with his knees up, breathing heavily. Twice, he stood up again.
Brother Yin Bu was full of energy and his face was glowing red.
"Everyone! Is everything okay?"
The brothers of each team climbed up from the mud. Most of them were lying on their backs, wearing artillery earmuffs. Their eyes, ears, mouths and noses were not poisoned by chiral molecules. When they shook off the mud from their cotton-padded clothes, they immediately became lively and vigorous. .
Jason climbed out of the mud pit in embarrassment.
"It's okay...it's okay, it's okay, stay alive!"
He wiped the mud off his mask and brought Katyusha and Diamond to report to Brother Yinbu that he was safe.
"fine!"
Brother Yin Bu immediately told everyone.
"Go, go, go! Go! Go! Go back! Run!"
Meteor still doesn't understand what happened.
Just fired a shot? Time to run away?
He had no intention of being a curious baby this time, and followed 3301 as he ran towards the way he came.
A strange note of "kaka da da" came from behind. Ah Xing glanced back and was immediately frightened. Originally, he was following behind 3301. After seeing clearly what was on the beach and shallow sea, he picked up San Three Zero raised his head above his head and ran very fast.
What is there on the beach?
That’s the giant’s accessory—
——From the energy rays ejected by [Iceman], hundreds of strange humanoid shapes crawl out from the scars left on the earth and quagmire.
These human forms are composed of dark multi-faceted prism ice cubes, like mysterious creations from super ancient times. According to myths and legends, life can be born when the blood of mountain giants is spilled on the earth.
The Iceman's attachments are these sharp black ice edges composed of humanoid substances.
They are like groups of tumbleweeds, using their tapered limbs to hook and hold each other, forming groups of rollers about eight meters high, rolling forward and moving quickly in the muddy swamps on the border of Niflheim.
When everyone ran behind the eggshell wall of the refinery, they saw the raging wheels of frost suddenly hit the narrow alley and path, sending out raging sparks on the smooth concrete ramp. After idling for ten times, they turned into mud and were drowned. The power of immortal runes captured [Iceman] back into his body.
Many small ice slags bombarded the solid nuclear facility building, hit the round and solid eggshell, and bounced farther away.
Meteor almost instinctively followed the broken ice towards the deserted living area, and saw sparse ice flakes like flying knives and bullets, drilling back into the sea through the broken doors and windows of the warehouse.
The Slavic men hid on the second floor of the warehouse and formed a circle with their large shields raised. After an unknown amount of time, the beach finally returned to silence.
Brother Yin Bu raised the spiritual disaster concentration indicator.
The value changes from pitch black to [999%]——
- Back to [97%].
"It's safe!"
Jason gasped for air, as if he had saved his life.
He patted various parts of the heavy armor on his body and checked the seams of the helmet's flaps to make sure there were no ice flowers left by the Iceman. He then pulled Katyusha over and touched it from top to bottom.
Meteor wanted to do the same thing and attack 3301.
What he didn't expect was that 3301 took the lead and touched him all over. The half-wolf girl was very concerned about the safety of her employer. After all, this little fool just acted like a recruit on the battlefield for the first time.
"Diamond is okay! I'm okay too!"
"Is everyone okay?"
"Me me me me me! Me!"
A young man in his mid-twenties raised his hand. He had two deep wounds on his arm and abdominal cavity, both with cold blue-gray blood stains.
Brother Yin Bu immediately opened the medicine box, took out Mrs. Bai's products, and dissolved the freeze-dried powder with water.
He just unscrewed the lid of the pot, but found that no hot water could be poured out.
"Oops, omg...Yin Asong! Do you have a panacea!?"
Jason was about to take out medicine from his carrying bag.
Then I saw the Slavic boy raising his hand: "No, no, no! No! Yin Asong! This is to save lives! This is not to treat injuries!"
This young man took away Brother Yin Bu's kettle and looked at it carefully——
——The steel shell of the kettle was cracked by an ice knife, and the insulation layer was also broken. In such a cold environment, the clean water in the kettle had frozen into large ice lumps.
He opened his cotton sweater to reveal the wound. The open wound the size of a palm had all been frozen, and his kidney function had begun to fail. His face also turned livid, and ice edges kept coming out of his skin, taking away his body temperature little by little. To assimilate his essence into a part of the dead giant.
I saw this kid grab a bottle of engine antifreeze, lie down in the warehouse, try to keep the height of his heart at the same level as the wound, fill a little wine with a vodka bottle cap, and then light it on the injured area.
As if he had dealt with this kind of injury many times - he poured the freeze-dried powder on his arms and belly, slowly roasted the water in the iron pot, and poured it on the freeze-dried powder to fully absorb the medicinal properties of Mrs. Bai's product. activation.
It only takes a few seconds. Just listen to the sound of "wave".
A black-red mud flow with blood stains emerged from the big arm, like a leech worm, and fled towards the sea.
The scar on the abdomen gradually became intact as before——
——The Slavic boy drank the fiery liquor in one gulp, and then vomited out black mud all over the floor.
He rinsed his mouth with warm water, his eyes were full of bright red bloodshot eyes, and his head felt dizzy due to the violent heartbeat and instantaneous high blood pressure. He finally stood still and showed a bright smile.
"Hahahaha! I'm alive! Brother Yin Bu! Yin Asong!"
[Part②·Exclamation mark]
There is nothing better than the feeling of surviving a disaster.
This spirited young man performed several cruel tricks in front of the passengers at Jiujie Station. The sight of the shooting star made his eyes dazzled, and he had already begun to imagine that he would be in such a scene.
This was not the first time that Jason had seen people in RSH use this method to force the giant essence out of their bodies. There were also cases of failure. They were disemboweled by broken ice shards. They were lucky to survive.
This is not the first time this spirited young man has done this. Judging from the way he dealt with injuries and his stable mental state, Brother Yin Bu has already tried it and shot these giants many times.
On the other side, Jiang Xueming and Teacher A Ling followed the old engineers in the boiler room to the power workshop of the outpost to find weapons platforms that could carry heavy firepower.
After crossing the four living areas, Xueming could slightly understand the design layout of this village. Its overall design is like a five-pointed star - not like a Pentagon, but one that relies on five nuclear power plants to provide heating for various zone functions. City.
It's just that these factories and living areas have been abandoned, and today you can still see towers and base stations of various shapes.
The power workshop is located on the northeast side of the outpost, not far from the military depot on Stairway to Heaven.
These crazy butterfly believers also need to collect scrap iron and scrap steel to build their shack settlements in this desolate land with scarce resources.
His eyes scanned the various facilities and stores and warehouses along the way.
Relying on the identification function of [Phoenix], it can distinguish the Russian characters written on the rusty signboards, and perhaps find some useful materials from these abandoned warehouse shops that are neatly classified like bookshelves.
When passing the central square, in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes, Xueming saw a decaying statue standing in the center of the city.
Its true appearance can no longer be discerned——
——Several soldiers wearing anti-stress frog suits gathered here.
Invariably they were men, wearing Stairway to Heaven armbands and freshly opening cans of instant food.
When Xue Ming and A Ling appeared in their field of vision, the soldiers all turned their heads.
Right now, right now.
The Phoenix's UI prompt immediately lists them as red names, and the health bar is highlighted.
Bright red exclamation marks appeared on the soldiers' heads.
Like this - [! ]
Xueming asked in a low voice: "Teacher A Ling, do you regard them as enemies?"
"You still need to practice your observation skills, kid." Su Ling took out the AK-12 from Xueming's backpack, not intending to use her own gun at all.
The old engineer nodded and was about to go up to say hello.
"Thank you for your hard work! Thank you for your hard work! Eat well and drink well! Thanks to you! The concentration of spiritual disasters in this place is getting lower day by day..."
I saw pairs of bright red inhuman eyes revealed in the soldiers' diving goggles.
The squad commander in the combat team placed the can of instant food next to the platform of the Monument to the People's Heroes.
Xueming finally saw the frost on the can, as well as the human eyeballs and brains under the ice flakes.
Teacher A-Ling just glanced at them and regarded these [people] as targets that could be killed.
The old engineer had just taken off his heavy work vest and was about to take out a cigarette to hand to these fierce gods.
The commander of the frogman unit spoke calmly in Russian.
"We are very hungry and everything is frozen. Can we go somewhere convenient?"
The tone was very indifferent and calm, as if he was talking about his family's affairs.
The old engineer didn't quite understand, so he said good things to these salary king minions, "What do you want me to do? I will try my best to help you, heroes!"
The commander immediately asked: "Is there a fire? We have to melt the can, otherwise we won't be able to eat it at all."
The old engineer thought for a while and finally answered: "Follow me to the power workshop, where the temperature is higher..."
"But I simply can't wait that long!" The commander became furious, took off his mask, and grabbed the engineer's grandfather's dirty vest: "How about you dedicate yourself to our great cause? Can your name be engraved on this monument? Come on! I promise! I promise you! I—"
"boom--"
Aya's hand shook.
The commander's fingers were still trembling, and his head had turned into a lake of slurry, splashing on his companions.
Su Ling: "Sorry."
The soldiers squatting next to the monument wanted to draw their guns and fight back.
Su Ling: "I said sorry, I didn't mean what you thought."
She showed no mercy when tongues of fire and iron rain spewed out from the Eyes of the Blood Wolf, and the ruthless steel-core warheads took away lives one after another.
"I'm sorry. It's not that my hands are shaking, but that I forgot that this thing has a burst function."
Grandpa Engineer seemed to have seen a lot. The moment the first bullet shattered the ogre's skull, his cheek was cut by bone fragments, and he immediately hid under the statue of the great man to avoid the scattered bullets.
During the brief street fight, Xueming could only see fluttering [KILL!] characters popping out one after another.
There were six more corpses on the ground, and one was half dead.
This guy is the only unit in the Stairway to Heaven Sentinel team that wears heavy armor.
He got up and wanted to pick up the gun——
——Just listen to the blast of the gun in Xueming’s hand.
The enemy's arms were knocked off balance, but the bullets were stopped by the thick body armor.
Su Ling raised her gun and took aim, shattering the weapons on the ogre's side into pieces. Even emptying the magazine failed to damage a hair on the heavy armored infantry.
This indestructible bastard stood up and slapped the iron helmet on his chest vigorously, as if he was mocking the two passengers for their useless behavior, as if he was showing off his strong body and heavy iron armor.
Su Ling took out the magazine and brought Xueming's battle master.
"The birds of the sky."
Xueming handed over the magazine.
“If you sow, you will not reap.”
Su Ling fired merciless bullets at the ear straps of the helmet, shattering the tenons connecting the bulletproof pressure plate to the helmet.
“Do not store it in barns as food.”
Xueming took back the AK-12 and inserted a deadly and hot steel core into the crack of the broken helmet.
"Heavenly Father feeds it."
Su Ling unplugged the magazine, took out the bullets from Xueming's backpack, filled the bullets again, put on the carrying safety, and asked Xueming to stay vigilant and draw the gun at any time, and then returned the items to their original owners.
"What about people?!"
