Chapter 571 Chapter 568 We Need to Consider the Future
"The latest tracking information is here. Scarecrow Nike is at the parking service area 22 kilometers southwest of the Remeng Cafe. His car is broken and is being repaired at the repair shop."
Dr. Egghead nodded and commented: "The network condition in remote areas is average. There will be a lag in collecting information and we cannot rely on it completely. All of us are in combat mode. Everyone is ready for combat. Check the equipment again and update our information to the headquarters."
Everyone immediately began to mount combat equipment and let the implants enter the self-test mode. The communicator sent the current combat readiness information to the headquarters to confirm whether the support group, peripheral control and information control group are in place. At the same time, the battlefield perception and reconnaissance system on the helicopter began to work. It is a large "shadow eye" that overlooks and scans the shadow energy signals in the surrounding environment from the air to provide intelligence support for everyone.
"Roll call on the battle situation channel... Everyone is here. Hand over the command to Dr. Egghead, and start the first information filtering now." In addition to the doctor, another brain enhancement person is responsible for operating the intelligence support system. He constantly screens important information and broadcasts it to everyone. "Currently, 37 people with enhancement levels exceeding 5% have been found, with the highest being 12%. Doctor, the system is working properly and has established contact with the integrated ground-penetrating radar."
"Very good. Set the integrated detection range to a 10-kilometer radius this time, and complete the final battle preparations before that. I don't want to hear anyone taking it lightly and violating the company's combat regulations. But one thing to note is that you should not use high-powered weapons right away. Disrupting the scene will cause trouble for intelligence collection."
"Yes! Doctor!" asked an enhanced warrior, "Should we fly straight over, or continue along the highway? Continue?"
"What do you think?"
The enhanced man had obviously thought about it a long time ago, and immediately said: "I suggest going along the road and pretending to be a road patrol. If we fly straight, the sound of the engine may alert the scarecrow Nike."
"Yes, he must have enhanced hearing and vision, which is the standard configuration of mercenaries. Tell the driver to continue flying along the road, and set the altitude at 60 meters. Once you enter the ten-kilometer range, use the heavy-duty enhanced engine. Make sure to maintain the combat state for a long time." The doctor gave the order, and then checked the status of the small brain-controlled rotary machine gun in the cabin with his men.
At this time, Zhuang Xuteng, who was driving a motorcycle, gradually approached. He was the guy with a modification degree of 12%. Under the cover of the Thousand Eyes Cloak, he did not expose the high-speed and high-explosive implants in his legs, nor did he let the helicopter discover the enhanced hearing and enhanced eyeballs in his head.
The battlefield perception reconnaissance system can scan a large area and then track twelve key enhanced human targets at the same time. Zhuang Xuteng, the 12% guy, is of course also within the observation range of the system. The system will analyze the threat level based on the energy feedback signal from the shadow. Zhuang Xuteng didn't have leg implants, which meant he lacked mobility; without head modification, at least he didn't have observation abilities beyond that of an ordinary person. The system could only see that the "motorcyclist" simply strengthened his arms and internal organs, which was not a combat modification, so he was classified as a "very low threat target".
Of course, we all know that this is not the case. Zhuang Xuteng drove with his head down, but the high-raised sensor tentacles allowed him to observe the situation in the air without any influence. He kept tracking the flight path of the helicopter and analyzed the encounter problem in his brain.
Thanks to the obvious fixed flight trajectory of the helicopter, an encounter countdown had already started ticking in his brain. He had entered combat mode, ordered the "war shackles" to charge, and ordered the "high-speed high-burst implant" and "driving assistance suit vertical jump system" to start charging.
When the helicopter was two kilometers away from him in a straight line, it had entered the detection range of the sensor tentacles. In an instant, the situation of the members in the cabin, the equipment situation, and their conversations could be received by Zhuang Xuteng. Relying on his innate image memory and analytical ability, he quickly saw the familiar name in the file opened by a reinforcer.
"Sure enough, they are coming towards me. The identities of Naike and Sen Gang have been discovered, but I don't know if there is a problem with the name Zhuang Xuteng." From the current situation, the "real person" identity associated with the mercenary identity of Scarecrow Naike has also been exposed, but that was originally fake, so it doesn't matter if it is lost. "Let them dig further, and my parents and sister will be in danger. Sister Lucy's ability is definitely not comparable to the company's reinforcers."
The speed of the motorcycle is not slow, and the speed of the helicopter is very fast. The two sides are heading towards each other, and it only takes one or two thoughts to cover a distance of two kilometers. At this time, the reinforcers in the cabin who are in combat readiness scanned the strange shadow energy signal, and they found the sensing tentacles. One of them said: "Hiss, is it my illusion? The temperature seems to have dropped."
As soon as the voice fell, Zhuang Xuteng activated the implant. Because he has mastered the disintegration effect, he can activate the high-speed, high-explosive implant in any posture, so there is no significant "charging" and "preparation" action. Most enhanced people can only "prepare" when their bodies are static and balanced, but Zhuang Xuteng can jump on a high-speed motorcycle.
"Boom!" The weight of Zhuang Xuteng's jump exceeded the supporting structure of the motorcycle. With flying parts, broken steel, and ignited and exploded fuel tanks, this stolen motorcycle ended its life. Before the drivers on the highway saw this scene, Zhuang Xuteng had already arrived next to the helicopter.
High speed and high burst, a matter of a moment. Zhuang Xuteng swung out the armor-piercing hammer, directly smashing the tail of the helicopter, and at the same time activated the shock wave of the neural implant within the visual range.
The invisible war shackles swept across the battlefield, and all the control systems of the helicopter were destroyed at the same time. This time, the attack came too suddenly without any signs. Even though the team led by the doctor was ready for battle, Zhuang Xuteng still successfully attacked them!
The general method for the company's enhanced people to resolve the war shackles is to activate their own war shackles at the same time, and at the same time protect themselves as much as possible by reducing the power of the implants and shadow slaves. Everyone in the cabin is preparing for battle. Most implants are either preheating or self-checking. In short, they are all in working condition. The shadow slaves are also activated, connected to each other through the data center, forming a mutual harm network that can be broadcast at high speed and produce ripple echoes. In addition, there are two "intelligence enhancers" in the team, with their skulls open, and the implants directly connected to the brain are exposed to the impact of the shock wave without protection.
The doctor spurted out a mouthful of blood, and it was as if a fountain had been unscrewed in his head, with dozens of red blood lines spraying upward like a water gun. At the same time, the helicopter was completely out of control and immediately began to spiral down, with a spiral arc drawn by fireworks, and finally hit the emergency lane of the highway in the form of a rollover, and then fell off the roadbed.
Before the war shackles were thrown out, Zhuang Xuteng had already retracted all the vengeful spirit spells and prepared to resist the impact. If he was still using the perception tentacles or the vengeful spirit jelly at this time, then the shock wave would not let him off easily. During the fall, he cast the spell again, first getting the vengeful spirit jelly out, then summoning the sick lady and giving her the bone spear gun.
He was already a skilled spell warrior, and he had completed all the summoning spells before landing, and these actions did not even affect his use of body skills. Using the levitation technique, he landed on the overturned helicopter, and when he looked down, he saw the open side door of the cabin. At this time, the helicopter started to catch fire; at this time, Zhuang Xuteng started to fire.
The 33rd generation of the Pioneer Power Gun shone with a blue light, which was a greeting from the shadow world. Zhuang Xuteng would fire at anyone who could still move, and anyone who tried to activate the war shackles would be the focus of the Shadow Gun.
As expected of the company's enhanced people, they are really tough! Just raising your hand can block the Shadow Gun, and you have to shoot twice in a row at the same position to penetrate it! This is still using the power gun provided by the company to the pioneer team, and each gun has the power of double bone spear. If it is replaced with an ordinary Shadow Gun, it is estimated that even seven or eight shots will not break the defense.
"Protect me!" A reinforced person who is far away from Zhuang Xuteng shouted. She is activating the war shackles and preparing to level the situation, so she asked her companions who are closer to Zhuang Xuteng than her to help cover her.
After receiving the order from Zhuang Xuteng through the ghost tentacles, the sick lady immediately penetrated the cabin, drilled directly into the enhanced person's body, and then charged and fired at her war shackles equipment. At the same time, Zhuang Xuteng also increased the fire suppression, and despite the discomfort brought by the shadow slave, he hit the upper limit of the shooting speed of the 33rd generation power gun.
These ghost energy bullets rushed straight to the "War Shackles", and then were blocked by her companions with their limbs. The meat shield in front of him was indeed the strongest guy Zhuang Xuteng had ever seen. He withstood the crash and at least eight ghost energy bullets from the front. He stretched out his hand and tore off the seat belt. Not only did he cover his teammates behind him (below), he also glared at Zhuang Xuteng and prepared to start a counterattack.
"It's a bit cold..."
The patient lady didn't care whether the person possessed would feel uncomfortable. She was only responsible for loyally executing the master's orders and performing bone spear magic on the person's eyes. This shot directly shattered the implanted eyeball, and took out some of the things in the skull, causing terrible and fatal injuries. The enhanced man twitched uncontrollably, bleeding and smoking in the hole of the eye socket, and died with a kick of his legs.
The meat shield man roared, jumped up with the power of his muscles, and threw an uppercut at Zhuang Xuteng's legs. In the state of Eight Flashes, Zhuang Xuteng had already calculated the opponent's next move. The uppercut was just the beginning, and it would quickly turn into a close-range fight. The guy tried to enter a ground stranglehold battle, using powerful passive defense and the remaining implanted muscles to trap me and drag me until the effect of the war shackles disappeared.
That won't work. Zhuang Xuteng raised his foot to step on the uppercut, and he clearly saw the meat shield man showing a micro-expression of joy. Zhuang Xuteng said, "It's too early to laugh. I won't laugh even if I have an advantage." In fact, the first word has not left his vocal cords. He first put the disintegration effect on the soles of his feet and used it as a shield to resist the uppercut.
The soles of his feet and fists did not collide, they slid away from each other. Because he was not prepared, the meat shield man's posture became crooked, and the arc of his jump was crooked. Zhuang Xuteng calculated this situation in advance and directly put his finger in front of the meat shield man.
"Bone Spear!"
The gray ghost energy bomb rushed out, but was blocked by the guy's eyelids. "Fuck! What is this made of?" Zhuang Xuteng found that he still underestimated this guy's tankiness. "It seems that only the armor-piercing hammer has a chance to penetrate..."
The ghost's tentacle sent the armor-piercing hammer over, and at the same time the meat shield man hit the door frame of the helicopter. He held the hot door frame with his armpits and kicked it sideways. Zhuang Xuteng dodged lightly and took the armor-piercing hammer in his hand. Just as he was about to attack, the helicopter exploded.
This is a new type of helicopter that burns gasoline to provide energy for the motor. The fuel tank exploded, and then drove the weapons in the cabin. The moment the explosion occurred, Zhuang Xuteng, who was eight flashes, reacted. He immediately used the levitation technique to jump back, and at the same time used the disintegration effect to protect his whole body.
Flashes, shock waves, flames and debris filled the battlefield. The meat shield was blown into the air and kept spinning to try to regain its balance. The fragments of the helicopter and the pieces of flesh and bones hit the disintegration effect shield. They slid to both sides and did not affect Zhuang Xuteng at all.
Zhuang Xuteng stood firmly on the ground in front of the soaring flames, and the high-speed and high-explosive implants were recharged. He knew that most of the enhanced people in the cabin were dead, and the ghost tentacles had collected enough resentment, just in time to lose it to the meat shield man.
"Why do you feel cold?" The meat shield man suddenly remembered the last words of his previous teammate, and felt that something was wrong. He curled up and hugged his head, making the strongest defensive posture, ready to take all the damage.
But this time the damage was not so easy to take! Zhuang Xuteng entered a high-speed and high-explosive state again, rushed past the meat shield man, concentrated all his strength on the armor-piercing hammer, and swept across. The huge impact force brought by the speed formed a penetrating ability through the armor-piercing hammer head, directly smashing a small part of the meat shield man's body. At this time, flying in the sky were not only the meat shield man's shoulders, skin and bones of the short limbs and side ribs, but also Zhuang Xuteng with a broken right arm.
"Ah!!!" Zhuang Xuteng screamed and fell back to the ground, looking down at his broken right hand. This time the impact force was too great, and the alloy bones could not bear it, breaking directly and piercing the skin. Because he was worried that the anesthetic would affect the performance of the supercomputing martial arts, he turned off the painkiller that automatically injected the implant. The "bite-engraving" pain came, and it was amplified in the high-speed neural perception ability of the eight-flash level, with dozens of times more details.
The meat shield man landed last, and he stood up tremblingly, as if he was indifferent to the loss of his shoulder, arm, and the hole in the side of his body. He pulled out the dagger from his waist with his only remaining left hand and prepared to continue fighting.
The battle was of course not over. Zhuang Xuteng concentrated the ghost tentacles on his right arm and stuffed the bones back in. Relying on the "inner vision" ability of the ghost jelly, he controlled the tentacles and the muscles of his right arm, squirming to reconnect the broken bones. Not only that, he also picked up the armor-breaking hammer with the ghost tentacles and stuffed it back into his right hand, indicating that this arm had recovered its combat effectiveness.
This scene made the meat shield man dumbfounded, and he even forgot to attack for a while, staring straight at him and said, "Are you a monster?"
"Yes." Zhuang Xuteng admitted it generously, anyway, he would not suffer any loss. Being able to say a few words here can give the meat shield man more dead ghost resentment curses.
Sure enough, the meat shield man began to vomit blood, and the side effects of the implant began to appear. At this time, the patient lady also floated over in an invisible state and got into his body.
