split sky ride

Chapter 364 - Visiting an Old Friend

The atmosphere between the two teams fell into silence.

Su Qianna, a B-level ice-type supernatural being who was still thinking about the 18th team of fresh meat, said with a regretful tone: "This is really a pity!"

Although the 18th team is sitting in an oasis, the living environment is much better than that of the 04th team with only an extinct volcano, no trace of green, and no water source, but they cannot defend against danger, even with an automatic weapon platform and an advanced detection system , there will still be some loopholes, and the mutants who are peeping at the oasis will take advantage of the gap.

The two members of the 18th team lost were all due to this reason.

In addition, the reason why the 04 team had no casualties and all members were intact, on the one hand, was related to the accidental fishing operation, and on the other hand, the mobile base vehicles that had been bombarded for 7 days and 7 nights almost emptied all the ammunition reserves , and also used a lot of ammunition reserves on the automatic weapon platform, so that the puppet master in charge of the console, Josip, complained a lot. If the supplies did not come in time, the 04 team might also be in a bad situation. After all When confronting mutants at close range, accidental casualties are completely inevitable.

With the 18th team, most of the people can be saved. Captain Mo Luoen is already very capable. He often takes the lead, and in exchange for serious injuries, other people may not be able to stabilize morale, and more than half of the personnel are lost. Neither is impossible.

Captain Moroen forced a smile, and said self-deprecatingly: "Compared to those teams that were wiped out, our luck is pretty good!"

"Learning these lessons will become our survival experience in the future. Let's all get in the car and let's get out of here together!"

Adrian had no way to continue to comfort the other party, so he could only pat the big man on the shoulder.

The oasis has no danger to defend, so Hubrough did not send anyone to take over. The consoles and automatic weapon platforms left here can be dismantled, and those that cannot be dismantled are sealed on the spot, so that they can be opened and used next time. .

Moron put away his sad mood, turned around to face his companions, and gave a big drink.

"boarding!"

The members of the 18th team carried their personal luggage and boarded the mobile base vehicle one by one.

Glancing at the oasis outside the car window, the mobile base vehicle started to start.
-
Chen Fei in the driver's seat checked the electronic map. It was the same way as when he came, but the positions of the mutants lurking along the way were very different.

Maybe it's because of the mutant's own activities, or the attraction of human activities, and of course it may be because of the sandstorms that have swept through.

"Adrian, I need to release the scout drone."

"what happened?"

A first-tier fire magician with completely blown white hair who hadn't had a haircut for a month came to the driver's seat and immediately noticed that the mobile base vehicle was not only driving very slowly, but also kept turning.

"The distribution of the mutants has changed, and... it's more dense."

"Adam" gave Chen Fei a comparative value, and the average density within the line-of-sight along the way increased by 13%.

The 18th team guarding the oasis attracted more mutants in a sense. They failed to produce unprecedented results like fishing operations like the 04th team. Although they tried their best to strangle the mutants around them, they still couldn't stop the mutations. The number of bodies is increasing.

"Really? All right!"

Adrian fully believed in Chen Fei's judgment and immediately agreed.

On the way here, the mobile base vehicle seldom collides head-on with the mutants lurking in the sand, and they often avoid them if they can. If they can’t avoid them, they simply fire a shot. 152 explosive bombs are enough to wipe out most of them. Whether it is a variant of a solitary or a group, the result will not be much different.

What Chen Fei said suddenly is so serious, I am afraid that the actual situation will only be more pessimistic. Even though the 04 team has replenished various caliber types of explosive bombs, if they choose to simply and violently blast all the way to clear the way, they will probably not be able to persist until they return haha bluff.

A moment later, a reconnaissance drone rose into the sky, and the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" took over it immediately.

The endurance of the reconnaissance UAV in the air is about 12 hours, which can just match the endurance of the mobile base vehicle. After reaching a height of 1000 meters above the ground, it circles around the mobile base vehicle continuously, and a large amount of reconnaissance information continues to flow After being teleported back, the "vision" of "Adam" was expanded by more than a hundred times.

About 10 minutes later, "Adam" uttered suddenly.

Adam: "I found an abnormal reaction on the ground!"

Chen Fei: "What the hell?"

Adam: "There are mutants tracking the mobile base vehicle."

Chen Fei: "Is there anything special?"

It is not surprising that there are mutants following the mobile base vehicle. Even if the vehicle with a total weight of nearly 80 tons is adjusted to about 20 tons with the skill "Gravity Adjustment Module", the huge vehicle body and five pairs of road wheels will cause serious damage regardless of the speed of the vehicle. The movements will not be small. In addition, there may be smells of human beings, causing greedy peeps. This situation is not uncommon even on the way when they come, or they are thrown away halfway, or they are being picked up by capable people. If they solve it easily, or simply bombard and kill them, they often do not constitute a substantial threat.

But it is probably an unusual variant that can attract the attention of "Adam".

Adam: "Watch the video!"

Everyone has his strong and weak points.

Artificial intelligence AI is good at logical operations, but it is always difficult to make correct responses to unexpected situations.

more than 30 years ago, "Adam" launched a smart rebellion. It was precisely because of his stupid tricks that he was attacked by many sovereigns and was defeated. Some situations were regained, but with the defeat of the Neanderthals, the decline was still irreversible, and they were forced to disappear from Blue Star, leaving only the source code body of the old version in the waste computer memory that was abandoned in the garbage dump .

When it wakes up (starts up) again...Adam, times have changed!

The artificial intelligence AI based on the computer system of the old era is directly excluded by today's advanced computing architecture, and it no longer has the pervasive prestige of the past.

Even if he wanted to be a demon, there was no place for "Adam" to do it.

The captured images transmitted by the reconnaissance drone appeared in Chen Fei's field of vision, and "Adam" assumed the function of human-computer interaction.

The sand rose rapidly, hanging far behind the mobile base vehicle.

Although it is separated by seven or eight kilometers, it is still outside the normal field of vision due to the obstruction of the undulating sand dunes, making it difficult to be found.

But when the drone is lifted into the air, the field of vision expands, and the ground within a radius of [-] kilometers can be seen at a glance. Even sand dunes cannot block the view from the sky.

"Double again, this is..."

Chen Fei couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Adam" will only be awakened when it is used. The database is of course incomplete, but Chen Fei can recognize the signs of violent surges in the sand.

It's that guy!

After being bombarded halfway by 152, did you resurrect with full blood?

Actually chasing from the assessment point of the 04 team all the way to the vicinity of the assessment point of the 18th team, it really holds a grudge!
If it weren't for the increase in the number of mutants near the 18th team, I was worried and put an extra drone to follow, I'm afraid I didn't know that there was such a big guy hanging behind.

"Hey guys, get ready!"

Chen Fei asked "Adam" to start preparing for launch, and then stopped the mobile base vehicle.

The dust cover on the roof was cracked, revealing the railgun inside, and a 152 bomb was ready to go.

After the two teams converged, the bustling atmosphere stopped abruptly as the car stopped.

Adrian asked immediately: "What happened?"

Before that, he agreed to release the reconnaissance drone, but now that there is another situation, it seems that this is really necessary.

The central desert of the Oceania Continent is full of murderous opportunities, and it is extremely dangerous, especially the tragedy that other teams have been wiped out before, no matter how cautious they are now, it is not superfluous.

"An old friend is following, launch!"

As soon as Chen Fei finished speaking, the car body shook slightly, and a 152 explosive bomb got the acceleration given by the magnetic track, and instantly derailed.

Since it is a projectile strike, it does not need to consume too much power.

"Railgun? What old friend, let me take a look."

A-level psychic superpower, puppeteer Josip looked at a screen corresponding to the remote control console of the drone.

A ball of fire exploded on the rutted sand, and dozens of tons of yellow sand were thrown into the sky. Mutants lurking in the sand in the distance broke through the sand and fled in a hurry.

A group of people in the carriage looked stunned.

Under the control of "Adam", the reconnaissance drone started a variety of scheduled scans to determine the effect of the shelling.

"Missed!"

Without "Adam" reminding, Chen Fei knew the result.

The wind blows, and the sand flying all over the sky sprinkles down, and the site of the crater is finally fully exposed under the optical lens of the reconnaissance drone, which can be seen clearly.

The thick sand layer absorbed most of the impact, making the shelling less effective.

"What old friend?"

Hearing Chen Fei's mysterious words, Adrian always had a bad premonition.

Which of the old friends of the 04 team in the deep desert is easy to deal with.

Chen Fei said: "The high probability is BTS-0001, the Tsar Earthworm!"

Although half of it was escaped, the remaining flesh and blood were still enough to extract samples and add to the variant database of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee.

"hiss……"

There was a sound of sucking air in the car.

Especially Holy Light Knight Walter Sam's face turned green!

If it weren't for the green scale horse Minnie's all-out efforts, and the railgun of the mobile base vehicle, one person and one rider would be doomed.

"I'll go, how did you mess with this kind of thing?"

Team 18's captain, Moroen, had heard of the new-found behemoth under the sand that Team 04 had discovered.

The opponent's body is 18 meters long and more than four meters in diameter. Whether it is under the sand or on the sand, it moves as fast as the wind. If there is no danger to defend, the 04th and [-]th teams may take a lot of lives to eliminate them. Get rid of such a big guy.

"I mean fate, do you believe it, Moroen!"

Adrian smiled wryly, this time he was really going to be in trouble.
