"...4, 3, 2, 1, 0!"
The shock came as promised.
A violent jolt and majestic impact came over, and Xuan Ming and others were pressed tightly against the frame structure of the vehicle by the huge force.
There was chaos outside the porthole, and something was crashing and collapsing.
Xuan Ming, who had been oppressed by the huge inertial force and couldn't breathe, was extremely happy in his heart.
Fortunately, the eldest brother had immersed himself in metal twice. Otherwise, his body bones would not be able to withstand such impact and pressure. The bones would be shattered in an instant, leading to damage to the internal organs and death.
Nanxing, Phytolacca, and Jinu were in even better condition than Xuanming. They had more metals infiltrated into them, and the strength of their bones, muscles, and ligaments was slightly higher than Xuanming's.
Just a few seconds passed, and the vehicle finally stopped impacting.
The interior of the vehicle was in a mess. Fortunately, the modified and strengthened main frame of the vehicle was not deformed or damaged, ensuring that everyone landed safely on the ground.
There were arcs and warning lights flashing everywhere inside the vehicle.
Fortunately, the hatch control belongs to the lowest level of safety design. It is simple and reliable, with a high degree of loss prevention redundancy. It is still intact, and the gecko has opened the hatch instantly.
"puff……"
As the cabin door opened, the positive pressure inside the cabin blew out a puff of smoke.
Shou Gong appeared outside, and then Wei Ling and others stepped out of the vehicle one after another.
At a glance, the vehicle landed in this small city with a diameter of up to 800 meters. It carved a long passage on the ground and demolished a whole row of houses until it was hit and stopped on the other side of the city wall. It is not known whether there were accidental injuries to people on the ground.
The tall armed figure waving on the city wall that I saw earlier was running over at this moment. He was the imperial standard armed "Warrior". His right arm was equipped with a "Gust" series machine gun as standard. It was tilted downward. It was obvious that he had already It was determined that the fallen vehicle belonged to the Empire.
Without waiting for the other party to ask, Welling had packed up everyone's information and thrown it to the sergeant.
"The Warrior" paused for a moment, apparently having finished digesting the information.
It can be judged that the armed scanning device he equipped should have obtained the citizenship information of the nine people, and naturally also read the core code of the fallen "White Pheasant" vehicle.
But without the Internet, it is impossible to confirm the authenticity for the time being.
However, the sergeant still put down his armed mask, revealing a tired face.
That was the face of a middle-aged man in his forties:
"Hello everyone, I am Du Ruo, the county captain of Jiayuan County. I am very happy to have you here. Several of you are warlocks. That's great!"
Li Lingyou and Yang Xiaohe looked at each other.
The two of them glanced at Xie Wuyi, who looked very ugly, and then looked at the children who still looked a little hasty and nervous. They thought this was not worthy of being "very happy."
"Hello, Du Ruo, this is Wei Ling. We are coming from Yasi County to the Imperial Capital. We just encountered a missile attack in the airspace three kilometers away. What happened here? Where are the people in the county?"
Welling threw an inquiry packet to Du Ruo.
The moment he walked out of the hatch, he and the gecko had already made a basic prediction of the surrounding environment.
There are dozens of people patrolling and guarding the surrounding city walls that are seven or eight meters high.
Among them, there were a few sergeants with armed exoskeletons, and the rest were probably unarmed militiamen equipped with various firearms.
No ordinary people were seen on the ground in the city, but there were obviously a lot of scattered blood stains on the ground.
What's even more strange is that there are a large number of watermelon-sized stones, rocks, and cobbles scattered randomly in the city.
"It would have been nice if you had come yesterday..."
County Lieutenant Du Ruo opened the armed head protection completely and smiled bitterly.
He carefully organized his thoughts, packaged the incident and threw it to everyone.
In fact, before this, Xie Wuyi, Li Lingyou and Yang Xiaohe had already thought about many situations in their minds.
As children of powerful families, although they may not have experienced all of them, they have at least heard of many. The three of them were thinking carefully about whether there might be an opponent committing murder against them.
It wasn't until I received this information package from Du Ruo that I felt a bit dumbfounded.
Jiayuan County was attacked, and it was a blatant attack.
The opponent is not the latent enemy of the Xixuan Federation, nor the rebels within the empire, but a small-scale mutated beast tide.
The beast tide has not happened for many years, and this beast tide is indeed a bit strange.
The cause of the incident was that late last night, a small hydroelectric power station more than ten kilometers upstream of the river next to Jiayuan County suddenly suffered a bank failure.
The floods surged down, the power station was destroyed, and the county instantly lost power.
Jiayuan County is too small and has a small population. The empire has not installed other power generation methods for this remote small county.
Since it is not a flood season recently, floods and power outages obviously should not be caused by natural causes.
Lu Ying, the magistrate of Jiayuan County, did not dare to be careless and immediately arranged for the county magistrate Xia Ku and the county lieutenant Du Ruo to lead the Xihuang Army's detachment stationed in Jiayuan County overnight, with a total of fifteen sergeants, bringing necessary weapons and equipment to check upstream. Condition.
After Xia Ku, Du Ruo and others went to the upstream to check, they found that the dam and power station had obviously suffered violent damage caused by bursting of embankments and power outages, and the damage was relatively complete and could not be repaired in the short term.
They immediately rushed back to the county seat, and not far from the county seat, they discovered hundreds of various huge apes, horse monkeys, black bears, wild wolves and other mutant animals, attacking the county seat.
It stands to reason that a herd of mutated beasts of this size attacking human settlements would not be considered a "tide of beasts", but this time the situation is somewhat special.
This time the mutant beast seems to have become smarter, no longer driven solely by instinct.
These apes and black bear mutant animals were so powerful that they threw stones the size of watermelons into the city. In the first round of attacks, the information support iron frame in the city collapsed, and the equipment was also damaged.
This directly caused Jiayuan County to lose the Internet shortly after the power outage, and there was no chance to ask for help from outside.
Of course, based on the predictions of the county magistrate Lu Ying, the county prime minister Xia Ku, and the county lieutenant Du Ruo at the time, there was no need for assistance in the face of such a beast.
The situation at that time was that in addition to the monkeys and bears that were attacking the county town from a distance, more animals were attacking the houses of residents outside the city. Once humans were discovered, they were beaten to death and taken captive to the mountains and forests.
Naturally, the residents outside the city would not just wait to die, and the resistance was very fierce.
Several houses were also set ablaze during the battle, presumably because someone was trying to use flames to stop the beasts. The scene was very chaotic for a time.
Xia Ku and Du Ruo immediately went into battle to protect the residents outside the city and cover their retreat into the city. The natural residents in the city had also entered the underground bunker under the arrangement of Magistrate Lu Ying.
After Du Ruo and Xia Ku returned, they successfully disrupted the beast herd's plan to attack the city walls and residences, suppressed the beast herd's attack, and successfully evacuated the residents outside the city into the city.
The last five sergeants left in the city immediately took the only supply platform out of the city and joined Du Ruo and others, as well as more than a dozen militiamen, who also joined the battle.
The powerful firepower immediately suppressed the beasts, and the beasts began to flee into the forest.
Xia Ku and Du Ruo led their troops to pursue them.
Because at least twenty people were kidnapped by wild beasts, they had to pursue them in time.
But they never expected that once they entered the forest, they would suffer huge battle losses.
Du Ruo's information package contained video information of him fighting in the dark night. This information made Wei Ling and others a little frightened.
In the dark night, some armed sergeants did not turn on their headlights, but used infrared vision to kill.
Some soldiers are used to turning on the lighting half-way, combined with infrared vision and double safety.
Worried about accidentally injuring the robbed residents, Du Ruo also adopted this plan, so his video footage was particularly clear and terrifying.
The voice messages inserted interactively by everyone were converted into voice messages by Du Ruo, and were also retained when packaging the messages.
"Be careful, be careful, be careful of the big rocks picked up by those beasts!"
"Oh my God, that big monkey attacked Lao Liu with a big wooden stick! Lao Liu is in danger, Baozi, hurry up, follow up, follow up, quickly, quickly, follow up and help!"
"What a tragedy, a little monkey fell from above my head and was pulling at my armed auxiliary device!"
"Damn it, that beast is eating people!"
"Du Xian Lieutenant, Du County Lieutenant! We can't be too spread out and must cooperate. This environment is not good for us!"
"I'm Du Ruo, please keep your distance and don't spread too thin!"
"Ah...what a tragedy, brothers...brothers..."
The various voice messages merged by Du Ruo, combined with the pictures he saw, gave a very strong visual sense.
As the soldiers and militia dispersed in a fan pattern, they entered the forest to search for and kill mutant beasts. Those beasts seemed to be very smart and knew how to hide and attack sneakily.
They had a strange figure. From time to time, they suddenly ducked out of the branches of the tree crown, threw a big stone, and hit the sergeant. Without a hit, they immediately ducked and hid behind the big tree, and instantly changed their position.
A sergeant was just about to lock onto the opponent, but the big stone in the opponent's hand had already been released.
By the time the bullet hit the stone, the attacking mutant monkey had disappeared.
The sergeant who missed had no time to adjust. Suddenly, a black bear more than three meters high came out from the side. Its huge palm had already swung over and hit the sergeant on the head.
The mutated black bear could swing its palms with several tons of force in an instant, causing a blunt blow that the sergeant's armed helmet simply could not withstand.
Even if it doesn't crack, it will cause significant bludgeoning damage to the sergeant's head inside.
In the picture, a dark red burst erupted from the outside of the sergeant's helmet, and he slowly fell to the ground. The black bear had torn his arm apart instantly, and the armed arm split apart with the sound.
At that sudden moment, the black bear seemed to have sensed the lock of Du Ruo's firearm. He turned his head slightly, leaving two sparkling eyes in the image, and then he rolled over and disappeared into the dark forest.
The scene suddenly changed, and a huge stone suddenly enlarged in sight!
The scene changed sharply again. Du Ruo avoided the rocks, ducked under the cover of a big tree, and raised his gun to lock onto the giant monkey who turned around.
Before the gunshot was fired, the screen suddenly dropped. It turned out that there was also a monkey on the big tree where Du Ruo was taking cover, and hit Du Ruo's helmet with a big pebble.
After a period of sharp shaking, the picture stabilized again, but in the dark night not far away, the county magistrate Xia Ku had no armed exoskeleton and had been beaten with a stone until his head was covered in blood.
A giant wolf bit one of his legs and instantly dragged him into the dark forest.
The picture suddenly tilted violently. It turned out to be a giant wolf sneaking up on Du Ruo and biting Du Ruo's right leg, pulling his body and tilting it.
Du Ruo's standard firearm "Gust" series machine gun on his right arm fired continuously at the mutant giant wolf.
The spine of the giant wolf in the picture was instantly broken, but the biting mouth of the wolf did not let go. Du Ruo shook the giant wolf several times before throwing the giant wolf away.
As I scanned the screen, in the darkness, I saw that the supply platform had been smashed open, and more than a dozen monkeys ran away instantly holding various weapons and ammunition.
Through these images, one can imagine Du Ruo's powerlessness at that time.
Seeing that the situation was extremely unfavorable, Du Ruo issued the order without hesitation:
"Concentrate, focus, come to me!"
The remaining dozen or so sergeants approached Du Ruo, but none of the dozen or so militiamen returned.
"Retreat, retreat, return to the city wall to garrison, the dark night forest environment is too unfavorable for our attack!"
Du Ruo gave the order to retreat.
After returning to the city wall, Du Ruo, together with the remaining ten sergeants and dozens of people in the city who had served in the militia, could only defend themselves against the next attack of the beast tide on the city wall.
In just half an hour, they were in the dark forest. Not in the mood to count.
Even if you send someone to count them, it will probably be useless. Those beasts eat meat and will not spare the corpses of the same kind.
The county magistrate Lu Ying looked gloomy, comforted the remaining sergeants and militia members, and then hurriedly went to settle the residents in the underground bunker.
