Chapter 243 Swamp Siege
Although the speed of the jetpack was very fast, it took Fu Qinghai nearly two hours to go back and forth.

It takes two hours in jetpack cruise mode, and I don’t know how long it will take to switch to Leman Rustank.

Sometimes Fu Qinghai wished he could tie an iron chain to his body and drag the tank forward by himself.

Fu Qinghai looked down, and Riemann Rustank was still walking slowly, with deep ruts behind him.

"Call My Little Pony, anything?"

"Ch... Got it, Qing Shan, you'd better come down and have a look."

Chen Xinlu's voice came.

The two women appeared to be sober.

Fu Qinghai folded the wings and swooped down.

……

Chen Xinlu pointed at the screen:
"The auspicious array detected signs of life."

Fu Qinghai took a closer look.

Both sides of the road are densely packed with small green dots.

Of course, the bird divination instrument can block the life signals of plants as background information, that is to say, these "little green dots" on the screen are definitely not plants.

"What is it?"

Fu Qinghai muttered to himself.

Although the force perception is exquisite, it does not rely on physical signals such as sound waves, spectra, thermal radiation, and electromagnetic waves, and can be used in any environment, but the disadvantage is that the range is narrow, and the perception distance is at most as large as a room, so it cannot really be regarded as Radar to use.

"Qingshan, three o'clock direction."

Jiang Yixia, who was sitting in the driver's seat, reminded.

Fu Qinghai pulled the periscope on the gunner's position to take a look.

Adjusting the zoom of the field of view, the back of a person appeared in the distance, sitting alone in the sandy ground with water.

Riemann Rustank has been walking along the damaged highway. On both sides of the highway, there are tidal flats and swamps with different depths of water, accompanied by mangrove forests in the east and west, soaked in clear ponds several feet deep. In the water, the formation of the swamp is probably related to the storm.

That "person" sat quietly in the swamp.

"I gonna go see."

Fu Qinghai said.

Without taking off his armor, he put on his helmet and set off again. He got out of the car and came to the side of the road. He stepped into the tidal flat, and the soles of his shoes sank by half in an instant.

"Fake."

Fu Qinghai cursed secretly, and could only activate the flying backpack. He jumped over a distance of [-] meters, and with a "bang", mud and water splashed in all directions, and landed directly next to that person. He was splashed with mud and water by Fu Qinghai, but he still remained motionless. .

Corpse?

Fu Qinghai blinked slightly and switched to the thermal imaging view.

But there is heat in his body, although it is not consistent with human heat radiation.

Fu Qinghai looked at this person's blue-gray side face, shriveled eyes, and dirty hair. This is a tall man. He is wearing a set of semi-enclosed black exoskeleton armor, which is not power armor, but an individual soldier. The exoskeleton, in Fu Qinghai's view, is a very primitive transmission shaft and hydraulic column, with exposed wires, straps and gears.

The movie Edge of Tomorrow.

Fu Qinghai recognized it immediately.

It was the exoskeleton that bound the man's body that kept the corpse from falling down, maintaining a strange kneeling posture, standing alone in the entire tidal flat and swamp.

This is obviously a reincarnation.

The corpse had a big knife in the shape of a helicopter propeller, maybe it was a helicopter propeller. Fu Qinghai reached out to touch the corpse's head, and there was a "crash".

The man's head fell off in its entirety.

Dense black molluscs gushed out of it, and upon closer inspection, it seemed to be some kind of leech, with a flat, short and thick body, wriggling around. After falling into the water, it arched twice on the sand, and immediately burrowed into the soil and disappeared. up.

These leeches hollowed out the man's body, and as the leeches filled his body left, the man's skin quickly collapsed, turning into a blue-gray leather case, hanging shriveled on the soldier's exoskeleton.

The leeches did not attack Fu Qinghai.

But Fu Qinghai knows that they will decide whether to drill into it according to the temperature of the animal's body surface. Naturally, leeches will not be interested in the cold and hard ceramic steel. If there is a person with bare skin standing here, it is obviously a different story. The sight is gone.

After understanding all this, Fu Qinghai turned around and prepared to leave.

at this time.

"Snapped!"

Fu Qinghai looked down.

A jagged claw covered with flesh and blood protruded from the sandy ground with accumulated water, and grabbed Fu Qinghai's shoe.

Fu Qinghai raised his knee.

"Whoa!"

A zombie covered in rotten flesh was pulled out of the sand by him, and its claws were still firmly clasped on the magnetic shoes.

"Ho...poof!"

The zombie opened its mouth to roar, but Fu Qinghai stepped back, and the zombie's head was directly crushed.

"what."

Fu Qinghai shook his head and prepared to go back.

"boom--"

With a loud noise, Fu Qinghai was instantly lifted into the sky by the huge object that broke through the ground, and the muddy water that exploded rained down like rain, covering the figure of the giant object.

Fu Qinghai turned his head to look in mid-air, and what greeted him was a huge snake mouth that had expanded to the extreme, a row of alienated hooked fangs surrounded the swinging forked snake letter, and the bottomless black esophagus was full of Could fit in a small car.

"Snapped!"

The mouth of the snake closed.

The giant zombie snake raised its head to the sky and swallowed hard.

In the next second, its throat bulged.

"Pfft - sizzle sizzle!"

The tip of a chainsaw sword spattering with blood sprayed out from the giant snake's skull. The huge head, which was not much smaller than the tank, tilted powerlessly to one side, and slammed heavily on the tidal flat and swamp, splashing water.

The chainsaw sword continued to cut, cutting through the entire piece of tough snake skin and thick muscles. Fu Qinghai, who was soaked in blood, lifted off the scales and walked out.

Of course, not his blood.

[You killed the T-virus zombie giant snake "Gap"]

[Start calculating assimilation points... 76 points]

Fu Qinghai raised his hand and wiped the transparent mucus and red and black blood all over his face, and looked up. At this moment, the entire swamp was "boiling"!

In the splash of mud and water, countless reddish-brown and flesh-brown giant tentacles broke through the ground and danced frantically in the air. Some were long and short with suction cups, some were thick and thin and some had fangs. The flurry of dances is extraordinarily frightening.

"Qingshan, Qingshan, have you seen it?"

Chen Xinlu's anxious call came from the communication channel.

"I saw it."

Fu Qinghai nodded and said.

The rotating turbofan stirred up the mucus and blood, and the wake of the jetpack blew away a large wave of water. Fu Qinghai jumped up and flew towards the highway where the tank was.

"Whoa!"

A giant worm with ring-shaped fleshy joints boldly drilled out of the swamp, and its four cross-shaped sharp appendages spread out, revealing fine and small teeth, like a whirling scrub turbine.

Fu Qinghai, who had been prepared for a long time, dragged the chainsaw sword and cut through it. The Green Fang suddenly lifted up, and the appendage of the giant worm broke instantly, and the huge cylindrical mouth was also split open without hindrance.

But Fu Qinghai did not receive a reminder of the point reward.

It means it's not dead yet.

Even though the point rewards were much more impressive than ordinary zombies, Fu Qinghai still didn't want to entangle with these zombie monsters in the swamp. They had huge strength matching their huge size, and it would not be fun to be dragged into the depths of the swamp.

"Shhhhh!"

Countless thick tentacles shot out from the swamp again, instantly binding Fu Qinghai tightly, even his right hand holding the chainsaw sword was entangled, Fu Qinghai thought, and the flying backpack suddenly opened and accelerated. In force mode, the white flame burst out, and the tentacles burned by the plasma wake suddenly retracted. Fu Qinghai forcibly tore off all the tentacles hanging on his body, and flew into the sky.

"Qingshan, ask permission to fire!"

Jiang Yixia said.

They still remembered Fu Qinghai's ban on firing.

"Wait for me to come in."

Fu Qinghai fell to the ground with a bang, and his iron shoes stepped on the solid road base. The power armor instantly opened like a lotus flower, and Fu Qinghai, who was only wearing a vest, walked out, opened the side hatch of the tank and walked in.

Before closing the cabin door, Fu Qinghai ordered:

"Qing Ming, fight outside instead of me."

"No problem, Master."

This is the plan arranged by Fu Qinghai.

He was worried that the three women were driving the tank alone. After all, it was just a temporary team to drive the ducks to the shelves, and the mere three of them could not fully exert the power of the tank. Fu Qinghai had to personally serve as the commander of the tank and command it.

But the Blue Shell Power Armor is extremely lethal, and Fu Qinghai can't just put it in the car and watch it. After all, the assimilation points provided by these zombie monsters are quite attractive, so he arranged for Qingming to control the armor Kill outside.

The power armor controlled by artificial intelligence is not as flexible and agile as when Fu Qinghai wore it himself, and it will be a little stiff and dull, but the opponents are just a group of virus-infected bodies without brains, and they don't know any moves. Fu Qinghai believes that Qingming can Can handle it.

Jiang Yixia had consciously taken the gunner's seat, Fu Qinghai sat on the driver's seat, and said in a deep voice:
"Crew members, take your place."

"Follow the road and break out!"

……

The tank's engine shook violently, and the exhaust column at the rear spewed out a large cloud of black smoke, making a humming sound of a good start.

A large number of zombie monsters have surrounded from both sides of the road, Fu Qinghai pressed his eyes tightly to the periscope, and said slowly:

"Keep your triggers on, girls."

"Putting it closer, the density is not enough."

"Crack."

There were already zombies that had climbed onto the road and were crushed by the tracks.

Chen Xinlu looked out through the shooting hole, and a giant black scorpion seven or eight meters long had climbed to the side of the tank, its sharp tail raised high, beside it were various half-human zombies of strange shape, with Overgrown with misshapen appendages.

On the other side, several giant leeches with swinging tentacles had already climbed up to the side-mounted weapon station, and their sticky black muscles squirmed and slid close to the shooting holes. Suddenly, a white eye popped out of the muscles, and Li Xingxian fixed it. Look at each other firmly.

"Fire!"

Fu Qinghai shouted.

"boom--"

Li Xingxian pulled the trigger immediately.

The double-pipe heavy flames shot out a large group of red and yellow flames.

"squeak--"

Several giant leeches screamed sharply, and fell from the car body trembling and shivering. However, the refined promethium, like maggots attached to bones, clings to the body of the zombie leeches, burning and spreading continuously. , Li Xingxian turned the muzzle of his gun and sprayed flames at the swarming zombie monsters. The five or six-meter-long pillar of flame swept across a large number of zombie monsters and ignited their flesh and blood.

"Everything, all, all!"

The double-barreled heavy-bombing bomb let out a dull roar, and the giant scorpion that mutated into a thick carapace was instantly smashed to pieces, and the flesh was blown away. Those thick carapaces that are immune to ordinary firearms have nothing to do with the plastic and paper shell The difference is that after the heavy explosive bomb penetrates the giant scorpion, it can also interrupt the tentacles behind it, and the invisible barrage instantly empties out a large fan-shaped area.

"Switch to burst mode, Chen Xinlu."

Fu Qinghai ordered.

A large number of zombie monsters squeezed right in front of the tank, trying to slow down the progress of this giant steel beast. Although the effect was minimal, the continuous stacking of corpses made the rotation of the tracks a little slow, and the body of the car began to heave up and down, crushing Pressing down on the giant worms and deformed corpses blocking the way, when the speed further slowed down, Fu Qinghai finally grasped the handle of the laser cannon.

Pull the trigger.

"Biu—"

The crimson beam of light shot out, instantly clearing away the worms and tentacles blocking the way in front of it. The dirty flesh was scorched black and carbonized under the burning of the laser, and large holes were etched through.

The muscles on Jiang Yixia's arms swelled, and he kept turning the turntable, controlling the turret to rotate left and right, holding the handle of the coaxial storm bolter with his left hand, and shooting supplementary fire at the blind spots on both sides and the front of the car that could not be covered.

Heavy Bolts are 1.0 caliber, and Storm Bolts are .75 caliber like normal Bolts, the only difference is that Storm Bolts are double-barreled bolt guns.

Leman Rustank, full fire!

And the Blue Shell Power Armor controlled by Qing Ming has already switched to the industrial backpack, standing alone on the flat roof of the Troy logistics vehicle, two mechanical tentacles grab the body, firmly fix it, and hold the chain with both hands. The saw sword swung and slashed.

Phlogiston torches, servo robotic arms, and plasma cutters have all turned into terrifying weapons, burning zombies and monsters pounced from all directions into torches, minced meat, and cut into pieces.

It was the first time for the three women to see such a fierce war scene. The zombie monsters driven by the virus, fearless of death, rushed forward one after another, bumping into the firepower net built by Leman Rustank one after another, even if they were smashed to pieces. Feared, the three women were a little bit red-eyed for a moment.

Fu Qinghai, who sat firmly in the driver's seat, was still calm and relaxed.

Even had time to light a cigar for myself.

He took a deep breath and exhaled the white mist, diluting the turbid air and tense atmosphere in the car.

Until, from a distance, I saw a giant snapping turtle that was as huge as a hill, climbed up the highway, and blocked in front of the tank.

With a body of more than ten meters long, the high raised turtle back is several meters higher than the tank. It is facing the tank approaching from a distance, opening its mouth wide and neighing loudly:

"Moo-"

"Jiang Yixia, load the main gun ammunition, armor-piercing shells."

"Got it, Comrade Commander."

Jiang Yixia shouted, and immediately slid down from the gunner's position, came to the ammunition compartment, picked up the huge soft metal capped armor-piercing bullet, stuffed it quickly into the gun chamber, closed the latch and closed the gun door, Jiang Yixia sat back in the gunner's position, staring at the gunner. The giant snapping turtle that lived not far away quickly turned the turntable to adjust the shooting angle.

Such a huge target does not require precise aiming. Jiang Yixia, who is also the gunner and loader, locked the front sight on the snapping turtle's head, and stepped on the firing pedal decisively and quickly.

"BOOM—"

The roar of the main cannon sent death to him, and the ferocious big head of the snapping turtle disappeared in an instant, along with the huge body that was as strong as a hill behind it, and was pierced through at the same time. The molten metal jet evaporated the bones and flesh inside the target, forming a naked eye. A large void is visible.

The giant snapping turtle fell.

The heavy body shook up a large cloud of smoke and dust.

Even crushed a dozen zombies to death.

"Gunner, nice kill!"

Fu Qinghai praised.
