Vault 32

Chapter 16 Time Slows Down
Slowly pulling his legs out from under the body of the deathclaw, Liszt gasped heavily while propping up his body with both hands. in the trachea.Especially the bloodshot eyes in those two eyes had already covered the whites of his eyes, almost as terrifying as if the eyeballs were about to burst.

But he didn't look uncomfortable at all, there was only an excited expression on his face, he gasped heavily, he turned over and leaned against the outer wall of the apartment behind him, the excitement and pride between his brows couldn't be suppressed, and finally made him I couldn't help laughing out loud.

When facing Deathclaw just now, Liszt didn't feel much nervous, but fell into a trance rhythm.And he saw a lot of data streams in this world, it was really as if the time in the whole world slowed down a little, making his brain spin quickly, and fired at the hideous head of Death Claw without the slightest hesitation , and he also knows that he can definitely hit!
"Ding... Kill the deathclaw (test body) x 1, and get 1000 points."

"Ding... It has been tested that your mental concentration is high, and you have unlocked the ability: time slows down."

He leaned against the cold wall with a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was the system prompt just now.But when he thought of the so-called slowing down of time, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. This seemed to be the cheat code system that comes with playing the "Call of Duty" clearance mode!

Slowly shaking his head and smiling, this kind of surprise made him almost unbelievable.Originally being able to exchange various materials and soldiers in "Call of Duty", he already felt that the golden finger was quite good. Unexpectedly, after the golden thigh came out, it would give him the confidence to survive the nuclear war in 2077. Almost doubled to [-]%.

You must know that in "Call of Duty", there is not only time slowing down, but also a fatal shot, grenade fission, unlimited bullets, unlimited stamina, etc., and even invincibility that is immune to nuclear bomb attacks.If you count the teleportation, wall-penetrating, and see-through abilities in the plug-in, even if you encounter the swamp crab queen in "Fallout" who can survive two fat nuclear bombs, you will be shot by him in seconds.

"However, there should be a limit to this ability... Otherwise, my head wouldn't hurt so much..."

Gently rubbing the corners of his eyebrows with his hands, the wound on his forehead was still there, but now he fell into a dizzy state.But it's definitely not like before, it's just a kind of sick dizziness, so he can't help spitting to the side, cursing inwardly: "It's really...uncomfortable..."

The three U.S. Army soldiers around had already moved closer, with the M4A1 assault rifles in their hands still pressed tightly against their shoulders, looking at the dead claws, they still did not dare to take their guns away from the motionless corpse, but the three of them There was a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

It jumped out suddenly in the dark before, before seeing what it was, this terrifying monster killed half of their squad in a single turn, and then continued to kill three more soldiers half a minute later.But now that a commoner used an old antique more than a century ago to easily knock off half of his head, and directly blast him to death, how can we make them believe it?

"Good boy, being able to kill this monster is indeed something to be proud of."

The old man in general uniform at the window had also turned over the window frame, jumped down and stood on the lawn looking at the corpse of Deathclaw beside him. After taking a look at the huge body and the sharp claws of the two claws, he couldn't help but sighed: "This is... what kind of terrifying thing!"

The old man in general uniform sighed softly, and turned his head to look at the jeep communication vehicle in the gray mist outside, with a sad expression on his face.However, his long experience on the battlefield still made him calm down quickly. Holding the AKS-74U short assault rifle, the old man in general uniform turned his head to the three army soldiers and asked, "Has the communication system been restored?"

"No, we still can't get in touch with headquarters or any of the units."

A soldier gently reached out and pressed the headset, but a noise made him frown slightly, and his eyes were a little more disappointed.After slightly stretching out his hand to adjust the headset a few times, the disappointment in his eyes became more and more apparent. He looked up at the old man in general and shook his head, "It's not possible at all."

"The communication system is down? I thought it was only civilian communication that was unavailable."

Feeling better, Liszt also slowly used the Winchester M1887 shotgun as a crutch to prop up his body.However, listening to the conversation between the old man and the soldier, he pinched the corners of his eyebrows with his hands, and asked with some doubts: "At least you should have satellite communication and backup communication methods, right?"

"There is no preparation. Before our troops received the order from the Federal Command, they didn't know that they had any combat needs. The follow-up orders they received after entering the city at noon today were simply to maintain law and order in the city."

The old man in general uniform turned his head and glanced at Liszt, but he didn't have much shyness about Liszt's identity as a commoner. There is no preparation." He paused, and there was a little more anger in his eyes, he coughed twice and said in a heavy voice: "We also did not expect that the so-called maintenance of law and order in the city would turn out to be responsible for exterminating these damned gangsters." monster!"

"Wait, you said that your brigade only entered this small town at noon today?"

Liszt instantly grasped the unreasonable loopholes in the old man's words that he had encountered, and frowned tightly. He looked at the old man in general service and the other three soldiers with obviously angry faces, but endured He couldn't help swallowing, and asked anxiously: "Then when did the troops entering the city this morning and the large-scale evacuation of citizens happen?"

"You mean the troops that entered the city in the morning? It should be the 9st Combat Brigade of the Army's 1th Mechanized Infantry Division. I once talked to their brigade commander about the situation in the city."

The old man in general frowned slowly, and suddenly he also noticed that something was wrong, rubbing his extremely smooth chin, his eyes also carried the wisdom of his age: "Now that we think about it, our There is not much communication, and the large-scale evacuation of citizens is also the responsibility of the First Combat Brigade." As he spoke, his brows were already tightly frowned, and he looked up at Liszt as if he had suddenly realized, and looked at Liszt again. Said: "It's not right!"

Not only is something wrong, there is something wrong!The troops of both sides did not explain clearly at all, and for the 9st Combat Brigade of the 1th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Army who was stationed in this small town before, they had already fought fiercely with that terrifying monster. This small town?

"Damn it, we have to go back to the command post on Plantagenet Avenue!"

The face of the old man in general service was already full of gloom. He had experienced countless bloody storms on the battlefield filled with gunpowder and in the dark political officialdom, but he did not expect to be involved in a terrifying conspiracy in a muddle today. How could he make him angry?And he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "If the court-martial can't handle it, then I will lead the troops and the federal government to clarify this matter!"

The three soldiers beside him were all silent. As the soldiers of the brigade company, they had completely obeyed the orders of this old general whose identity had gradually become clear.After hearing this, they couldn't say much, they just held their M4A1 assault rifles tightly, waiting for the next order and battle.

"Sir, I am the brigade commander of the 16th Mechanical Brigade of the Army's Quick Response Force, Major General Bunar."

The old man in general service took two deep breaths, turned his head to look at the gray mist around him, but his face became more and more embarrassing.After contemplating for a moment, he slowly raised his head, his eyes did not have the faint yellowness of an old man, but were as sharp as an eagle. He stretched out his hand to Liszt, nodded and said, "I don't know what your name is?"

"Lister, civilian, auto mechanic, ex-military."

Stretching out his hand to hold the old general Bunar tightly, Liszt's hand suddenly felt like holding a rock, and the rough and old palm was still strong when holding him, so it should be a real The power possessed by soldiers.And Liszt also nodded tightly and said: "I served in the 16th Mountain Division of the US Army as a company commander."

But when Liszt said his name and the number of the troops he had served in, Buner, the old general in front of him, was a little stunned. A pair of eagle-like eyes swept over Liszt's calm face, and his expression was a little bit Smiling and relaxed: "Except for the Butcher of Heaven, who else would dare to kill a terrifying monster head-on alone?"

The three soldiers behind him also looked at Liszt slightly in shock, the shock in their eyes was more obvious than when they saw the dead Deathclaw's body just now.In the American society that advocates individual heroism, Liszt has saved his company like a dazzling hero many times in extremely dangerous situations that should be completely destroyed according to military deduction. There are quite a few admirers in the army. few.

"A thing of the past, general. If possible, I think we have to get back to the command post soon."

Liszt didn't care about his former reputation. For him, after knowing the progress of the world, what he cared more about was whether he could survive the next series of chaos.Not to mention the war between the United States and the Soviet Union that was less than ten years old, nor the war of invasion of Canada, it was still difficult for him to see the sun tomorrow tonight.

And what is more important in Liszt's mind is whether he can hide in a safe place to survive the global nuclear explosion that broke out on October 18, 2077 10 years later, and survive the decades of nuclear radiation , living peacefully in the nuclear winter, quietly waiting for the arrival of the new world of wasteland.
