Trickster Hunter

Chapter 385 Sniper

Lihua Mountain, South Foothill.

The field operators searching for Yao Yu have reached the halfway point of the mountain. There are several abandoned orchards and many buildings here. The villagers who are responsible for taking care of the pear trees live on the mountain most of the year. In addition, the warehouse for storing freshly picked pears is also built here.

Compared with the foot of the mountain, the terrain here has become much more complicated, and the difficulty of searching has increased a lot.

"Prepare to release the all-terrain drone group." The team leader said in the communication channel.

Several field operators carrying half-person-high boxes on their backs stopped, squatted down, and opened the boxes behind them with the help of their teammates.

Although they were several hundred meters away, Sun Hang could still see it very clearly with his eyesight - hundreds of mechanical spiders crawled out of the boxes, spread out to the surroundings, and in a blink of an eye they crawled into the buildings that might be hiding places.

"S9 all-terrain autonomous intelligent drone." The team leader explained to Sun Hang on the side, "A single soldier can carry a unit of 1,400 drones, which can cover a complex area with a radius of 300 meters. It is especially suitable for search operations in urban areas with complex terrain... The only disadvantage is that the endurance is weak. Each drone can only last for 25 minutes at full power when fully charged."

"Is this thing fully automatic?" Sun Hang asked.

"Before finding a suspicious target, the drone is in a fully autonomous state. Once a suspicious target is found, the corresponding intelligent module will be activated. It will automatically summon other drones within a certain range to repeatedly scan the area where the suspicious target is located, and send a notification to the control terminal...that is, us." The team leader nodded, "So, it is still quite difficult to deceive these little things."

"Wouldn't it be very useful if this thing was loaded with explosives?"

"Before this type of autonomous drone was successfully developed, someone had already proposed this idea, but it was jointly boycotted by all sectors of society...The vast majority of people believe that weapons like this that have the ability to kill humans at will should not be completely controlled by programs. Otherwise, if the program has a bug or is infected with a virus one day, it will be an unimaginable disaster." The team leader smiled bitterly.

"Isn't that right? I've read some literature describing modern warfare. I remember that before the monsters invaded the human world on a large scale, this type of drone had already been deployed on a large scale in the wars between humans, right? Especially in the wars between the Siberian Federation and Ruthenia, and between the Hebrews and the Cannibals, drones had already evolved into the main force of the war, right? In the early stage, they were just bombs on modified civilian drones, and in the later stage, they were already mechanical dogs with small-caliber machine guns running around the battlefield, right? At that time, the Xiazhou Federation earned a lot of foreign exchange by selling these drones."

"It's different..." The team leader explained patiently, "Those drones like mechanical dogs are all remotely controlled by humans behind the battlefield. Once the remote control is disconnected, , the drone will shut down immediately. "

"But autonomous drones are different. They do not need human control. They follow pre-written program logic... Suppose you set an "annihilation target" command for these drones, they will even fire at the enemy who surrenders or even civilians. These situations are completely uncontrollable. Even if the program is set more accurately, it is difficult to ensure that the drone can successfully identify soldiers and civilians on a complex battlefield..."

"I can probably understand... Humans do not want their lives and deaths to be controlled by cold machines and programs. They can accept killing their own kind with body temperature and heartbeat, but they cannot accept being slaughtered by mass-produced intelligent machines. Is that what you mean?" Sun Hang concluded.

"That's right." The team leader nodded, "The main reason for opposing the autonomy of unmanned weapons at that time was this... Some experts even believed that letting machines slaughter humans would even trigger the early arrival of the "intelligent machine crisis", but no one expected it..."

"The intelligent machine crisis did not come, but the invasion of strange things came first." Sun Hang continued the other party's words.

"Yeah..." The team leader sighed, "But then again, although autonomous combat drones were not used in the war between humans, in the late stage of the Weird War, the United States across the ocean did deploy a large number of autonomous combat drones on the battlefield... In the early and middle stages of the war, their army was severely reduced in number, and there were not even enough people to remotely operate drones. Using autonomous combat drones to fill the gaps in the front line was also a helpless move..."

"Then what?"

"Nothing happened. Drones helped the war very little, and even some weird virus programs appeared. Many combat drones turned against each other before they left the production workshop... The most famous one should be the 'Texas Rebellion Virus Incident'."

"Texas Rebellion Virus Incident?" Sun Hang glanced at the hillside. It would take some time for the field operators to finish searching the housing area. Instead of waiting, it would be better to listen to some stories, "Tell me about it."

"The" Trelistan Electric Industry "headquartered in Texas was the largest drone manufacturer in the United Nations at that time. Trelistan built a 24 -seater factory in Texas. It accounted for one -third of the total national output of the country at that time. I also talked endlessly.

"At that time, nearly half of the country's land had fallen, and the army lost more than 60 %. If it was not relying on these steadies, self -disciplinary combat drones that continued from the assembly line supported the front. One month.

"If you don't have an accident, are you going to accident at this time?" Sun Hang asked.

"Yes, it was the sixteenth day of the countdown to declare the countdown. At nine o'clock that night, the executives of Tristan Electric Industry received an emergency notice that the source code of the operating system of the company was forcibly tampered with by the unknown forces. The technicians and front -line operators have been deprived of work authority. In the next three hours, the self -regulatory combat drone produced by Trristein Electric Industry on the battlefields has aimed at the muzzle before the battle. Human soldiers who fought side by side, not only that, this virus has quickly spread to the drone produced by other companies -even if they are not the same operating system as Tristein Electric.

"Oh, this time is big." Sun Hang suddenly felt that if there was a bucket of popcorn at this time.

Oh yes, in addition to popcorn, it is best to have a wooden fish. If you accidentally laugh, you can knock twice, and keep your merit and conservation as much as possible.

"It is not just the front line that chaos a pot of porridge, but the self -disciplinary combat drones in those factories have also lost control. They killed the workers, technicians and guards in the factory, opened the arsenal. The prepared weapons ... they left the factory and took the streets of Texas.

"Kill when you see someone?"

"That's right ... According to the cracking of the wreckage of the drone afterwards, their core orders were modified to" eliminate carbon -based biological "within all horizons." Same."

"It's a pity not to make a movie." Sun Hang nodded, "Isn't Hollywood a movie that likes to make such subjects?"

"The Luocheng of Hollywood is one of the earliest falls in Hezhongguo. The weird army landed from the West Coast swept the entire California and could escape the survivors there." The team leader said, "It can be said, it can be said, The Taxos rebellion virus incident directly led to the demise of the people of the United States ... From that day, the line of defense of the United States began to collapse. Since then, they have never stopped any effective resistance. "

"Well ..."

"It is precisely for this reason that even when the war is the most tight, our Xiazhou Federation has not been loosened on the issue of developing the self -disciplinary combat drone." The team leader said, "What happened on the other side of the ocean was Our Lessons in front of the car "

"So there are still this ... uh?" Sun Hang wanted to say something, but he looked at the eyes of the half mountainside suddenly narrowed.

He found that the original neatly advanced search formation had a serious riots when he passed through a residential area.

As soon as several foreign diligants walked into the blind spots of other people's vision, they fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" The team leader also realized that Sun Hang's expression was abnormal, looking at the mountains along his sight.

"It's an accident, you have died several people." Sun Hang's tone became slightly serious.

"What?!" The team leader immediately grabbed the telescope and pressed the communication button on the headset. "Group C group C, immediately report the situation of you! Repeat it! The situation! I saw someone attacked! "

"B1 report, everything is normal, no search target is found!"

"B2 report, everything is normal."

"B3 Report ..."

"B6 Report ..."

Nympho

"B4, B5 and C2 and C3? Can you hear it? Hey? B4? B5? C2C3?" The team leader suddenly became anxious.

Soon, the voice of other cadres came from the communication channel: "Reporting the leader, this is B3! I found B4 at the entrance to the west side of the plantation garden, he no longer showed no signs of life! According to the wound on the body The cause of death is the shooting, 7.62 mm caliber full -power bomb, running through the throat, his entire neck is interrupted! "

"Shooting?" The team leader turned his eyes, "7.62 mm caliber full power bombs? This is impossible! According to information, Yao Yu has only a pistol with a ninemm caliber!"

"It's not Yao Yu." Sun Hang said lightly on the side. "Even if Yao Yu had a 7.62 mm caliber gun, he could not hit four people at the same time ... Not to mention, we did not hear the gunfire. "

"But B3 told me that his death was that the shooting was right. I believe my judgment, with their experience, not even ..."

The team leader hadn't finished speaking, and the communication channel rang again.

"I'm C1, I found C2, he ... he died, the cause of death was--"

C1's communication stopped abruptly.

Sun Hang clearly saw that when a field operator ran towards one of the corpses, his body suddenly paused, then fell to the ground and there was no more movement.

At this moment, Sun Hang also captured the trajectory that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

"C1?! C1?!"

"Don't shout, he was also sniped." Sun Hang patted the team leader on the shoulder, "But I have seen the direction of the bullet."

"Where?" The team leader asked immediately.

"On another mountain, about four kilometers away, ultra-long-range sniping." Sun Hang pointed to another peak east of Lihua Mountain. Most of the peak was hidden in the fog, and there was no lighting from the drone in the sky. From their perspective, they could only see a huge black shadow, lurking in the night.

"That mountain... is Zhangjia Mountain!" The team leader quickly reacted, "The distance to Lihua Mountain is about 4,300 meters. At this distance and visibility, sniping... How is this possible?!"

"Nothing is impossible." Sun Hang acted very calmly, "Five of your people have died. You need to learn to accept reality."

"Everyone!" The team leader was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted in the communication channel, "The sniper's position is Zhangjia Mountain in the east! It is 4,000 meters away from you. Everyone, find shelter on the spot-"

The team leader had just said the word "shelter" when Sun Hang reached out and cut off his communication, "Don't worry, wait a moment."

"Wait for what?!"

"Wait for the sniper to fire another shot." I just saw the trajectory, but I didn't have time to lock the sniper's specific location.

"You mean, let my people be bait?"

At this moment, a tiny spark that could not be detected by the naked eye bloomed on the top of Zhangjia Mountain. The team leader only felt a strong airflow around him, knocking him to the ground, followed by a burst of explosions that were enough to tear the eardrums!

Sun Hang had disappeared on the spot!

The sniper's shooting distance was more than 4,300 meters. The opponent was shooting at the mountainside from the top of the mountain. At most, the shooting distance was at least 4,500 meters.

This sniper was a capable person, or the sniper rifle in his hand was a strange weapon.

With this idea in mind, Sun Hang crashed into the rock wall of Zhangjia Mountain and "carved" a large human-shaped hole in the rock wall.

"Damn it... I need to practice emergency braking more..."

Sun Hang climbed out of the cave cursing, but when he arrived at the sniper position, the opponent had already disappeared, leaving behind only some sundries that he had not had time to take away and a flattened straw mat.
