Emergency repair, forced engine start, ignition failure, abandoned vehicle.
Position marker: 47 degrees 73 minutes north latitude, 128 degrees 92 minutes longitude.
Judging from the old-era maps found, the marked location is a county with a population of 400,000, but it does not exist on the map of the Renaissance Army at all. Because the principle of total nuclear war is to wipe out all vital forces of the enemy country, this place is no different from the surface world, desolate, dilapidated, and full of radiation. Even when viewed from a high place, it is nothing more than an abrupt black stain on the vast expanse of snowfield. If you have studied pre-war history, you will sadly find that 400,000 people were just a drop of water in the ocean in that glorious era. Today, there are only twelve underground cities with a population of more than 400,000. It is like a stream to a pond.
It has been 103 years since the war began, and most of the things in the past have been turned into dust by weathering, rain, and erosion. The nuclear winter is fading, and people are returning to the ground from the congested and depressing underground cities, trying to rebuild the land passed down by their ancestors, looking forward to the day when the motherland will return to prosperity. For builders, finding any available supplies and equipment is as important as destroying any enemies or creatures that dare to stand in their way. Therefore, excavating pre-war ruins and bringing back valuable technology and machinery has become one of the top tasks of the Renaissance Army. This is why people come here and are trapped here. 1
Shen Rusong jumped off the sloping tower and returned to the ground. There were corpses of deformed species at his feet. As a hunter, he knew that these blue-fronted oil spiders were all parasitized by Fungus Zero, which meant that the team paid so much but ended up in vain. I was overjoyed that even though this was indeed a rare relic of a pre-war oil city in good condition, as long as there was a trace of fungal infection, no second group of people could enter.
The premise is that they can send the news back.
The oil spider's jointed limbs were still squirming, but Shen Rusong ignored it and ran towards the periphery of the ruins. The deformed species has extremely strong vitality and strong radiation both before and after life, forcing him to wear a full-face gas mask, revealing only a pair of black and white deep-set eyes.
His airtight chemical protective suit was damaged in the previous battle, and the lint of the military coat underneath overflowed. As soon as it hit the ground, it was dissolved by the black blood of spiders on the ground, and the pungent blood spread along the north wind. , it is not difficult to imagine how those apex predators would react after smelling this smell. By that time, the situation cannot be dealt with only by the Type 74 12.7 mm heavy barrel rifle behind him, and he doesn't have a few 20-round magazines left.
As hunters, it is normal to fight alone. After all, exterminating mutant beasts and hunting deformed species are two different concepts. However, this time they were too far away from the traffic line, 260 kilometers away from the railway, and the nearest outpost was still in Add 40 kilometers to this number. 2
Outside the ruins, people were cleaning up the corpses outside the temporary camp. Many people's exoskeletons were severely damaged. Fortunately, the inertia mechanism allowed people to move without having to exert great effort. This was very important for the hunters who had lost their snowcats. important.
The batteries of the damaged vehicle were removed for recharging the exoskeleton. Shen Rusong found the captain wearing a gray scarf, saluted briefly, and reported: "The signal is interfered by geomagnetic interference, the band is very disordered, and I can't send a message from the commanding heights."
The white steam exhaled by the captain quickly froze into white mist, and his exposed temples were covered with frost. The captain was silent for a while, patted Shen Rushong on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Songzi, we are here these days." Which difficulty we encountered in 2018 was not more severe than this one? It’s not a big problem.”
Not a big problem. Shen Rusong recited silently, but he did not question the captain's words.
While waiting for charging, Shen Rusong looked several kilometers away. Through the visual intensifier, Shen Rusong vaguely saw that the black tide barely stopped on the other side of the river. The reason why he used the word "reluctantly" to describe it was because he was migrating. The march of the Helmrats will never stop. @*~~They just slightly bypassed the blasted ice surface to find or create a place to cross the river. But as soon as the river freezes again, millions of rats will swarm over and eat everything up.
It's now minus 17 degrees Celsius, 4:04 in the afternoon, there are wolves in front and tigers behind.
Before it was his turn, the battery was empty, and the hunters who had been waiting in line for a long time dispersed without saying a word. They did not want to vent their strength in meaningless places, forged by compulsory education since childhood and cruel battles during their military service. out of their code of conduct. There is no need for the superiors to issue additional orders, they will do things according to the orders themselves.
.
Pack up the equipment, take the wounded, throw away the baggage, and retreat.
When the last hunter returned to camp, the first hunter was ready to go. Although the compass was disturbed, the electronic equipment almost completely failed. But let alone the Jaegers, any Alliance citizen serving on the surface is proficient in identifying directions under any conditions.
Shen Rusong used the old-fashioned mechanical pocket watch left to him by his father and pointed it at the sun while gently humming a chant. The hour hand was pointed at the sun, and the angle bisector between the hour hand and the 12 o'clock scale pointed to the south. According to the backup plan, there is a material reserve point about 50 kilometers south. If the weather is not bad at night and there is no attack, the team must march continuously for more than 10 hours.
However, unlike the underground world where everyone performs their duties like a quartz clock, the surface world is always unexpected. 3
The hunters were divided into two fan-shaped search queues, and the exoskeletons in good condition were uniformly assigned to the uninjured hunters as forwards and rearguards.
The extremely reflective snowfield is full of visual blind spots. According to the tactical maneuvers, after losing the vehicle screen on flat terrain, the troops should immediately spread out into a fan-shaped formation to conduct power reconnaissance, protect the joints and achieve the highest firepower density to intimidate potential hostile creatures. If the deformed species follows, they should lure Let them enter the encirclement, gather fire, and annihilate them.
Attack, breakthrough, offensive maneuver, in the dictionary of the Renaissance Army, the word retreat does not actually exist. It is more appropriate to call it "defensive detour".
"Attention, the helmeted rat is about to cross the river. Check the pheromone spray. The rear team will speed up. Repeat..." Shen Rusong said on the walkie-talkie.
Shen Rusong stood on the shoulder of a hunter and observed. He could not rely on drones now. He saw that the river surface outside the ruins had completely turned into ink color. The large amount of blood in the ruins would delay the Helmet Rat for a while, but not for long. The helmeted rat swarm itself is also the hunting target of other predators. Everything has natural enemies. The camouflage pheromones can deceive them for a while, but they cannot last a lifetime.
If you want to suppress a million-level beast tide, you must use heavy units at the brigade level or even the division level. Except for the surface deployment areas in the capital Longshan, Qamdo, Fenglin and other places, the Renaissance Army's stretched troops are simply not enough to protect all surface bases. .
Shen Rusong held the air pressure sensor gauge. The current air pressure showed 1034.6hPa, and the cold high pressure was about to reach its peak. @·无码First~~ He looked at the sky worriedly. The crystal white clouds were frozen, and the pale gray light at the end of the horizon was signaling the early arrival of the cold wave.
The snow made people stagger, and the surviving engineers and auxiliary personnel were struggling to drag the sleds, which carried the information collected with great pains. When further abandonment orders were issued, some seriously injured people would rather their companions ended their efforts as soon as possible. The pain, so that his weight can be exchanged for as many precious samples as possible. These samples come from the deep mud of the ruins and contain many pre-war strains. By studying these strains with genetic aberrations under natural conditions, pathologists may be able to find clues to the context of biological alienation, which can then be fed back into the improvement of antibacterial vaccines. , nothing is more important than the healthy reproduction of future generations of mankind.
For soldiers, there are too many things more important than life. 4
There was a gunshot, and Shen Rusong turned his head wordlessly, and the soldier card in his hand jingled in the wind. He pointed his pistol at another surveyor who was preparing to die. This was a young man as young as Shen Rusong. The surveyor weakly raised his hand, touched the gas mask, and gestured to help him take it off.
Surveyors greedily breathe the fresh but poisonous air. The soil here deposits huge amounts of radioactive isotopes such as cesium-137 and uranium-238. Countless rounds of dirty bomb bombings a hundred years ago turned the entire world into a poisonous pit. . From the moment the sun shines on it, the gas mask must never be taken off.
"The air is so nice, quite sweet." the surveyor sighed. "It's a pity that my stomach was scratched and I can't smoke anymore. Oh, it's a bit of a pity."
The dying surveyor squinted his eyes, looked at Shen Rusong, and asked hesitantly: "Ah, your name is... Songzi, right? I recognize you. I saw you reading a book two days ago. Can I ask you a favor? thing?"
Shen Rusong nodded, lowered his head and took out a candy wrapped in cellophane, peeled it open and handed it to the surveyor's mouth.
The surveyor coughed and turned sideways, which affected his abdominal wound. The pain made him gasp for breath, and he begged with blood in his mouth: "Brother, I know I shouldn't say this, but... can you do it?
Take away the copy of "Haizi's Poems" in my bag? There are poems written all my life in it. Please take them back and give them to my girlfriend. They are all written for her to read, and only she will remember me. "..
Shen Ru loosened his throat, lit a new cigarette and handed it to the surveyor's mouth, broke off his military registration card, bit his lip and said, "I'm sorry, the motherland will remember you."
Blood splashed red on the snow. Shen Rusong took away the dead man's poison filter and the remaining supplies. Ice shards in the wind blew against his mask, making a crackling sound. 5
The team first abandoned the seriously injured, and then concentrated on burying paper technical documents. Before nightfall, the team had a good meal. All members wore night vision goggles and were connected to each other with ropes to prevent them from getting lost while traveling at night. Citizens of the Alliance are not allowed to practice religion, but some people are still praying quietly. Indeed, everyone needs luck here and now.
The night shrouded, and the roaring continued. Update without error@.
