Vault 32

Chapter 22 Sudden Appearance of Fear

Only the mob panicked at the commander's death.Because of the existence of the military system in real troops, the impact on the death of commanders has been minimized.As long as there are officers in the system present, the existing troops will still exert their due combat effectiveness according to the usual combat methods during strict training.

This is the strongest point in modern warfare. It does not rely on weapons, numbers, and tactics, but on a powerful and comprehensive combat system.Because this is the most efficient, direct, and powerful war system researched with decades or even centuries of war theory in peaceful times and unified countries!
For all this, Liszt was even more touched.Just comparing the two games "Call of Duty" and "Radiation" can know what this so-called system is all about.And even in the wasteland of "Radiation", most of the power armor that can be called humanoid tanks can only be called a mob. 》The systemic collision during the US-Soviet War was simply heaven and earth.

Slightly turning his head to look at the more and more US Army soldiers gathering in the bushes, Liszt also knew in his heart that those were soldiers from Company E.Standing out from hiding is more of a deterrent, because they also don't know Liszt's identity, and they can't make effective judgments just by relying on a Winchester and civilian attire.

"The supermarket appears to have been simply set up for war."

Although the light is dark, the general outline of the supermarket can still be seen clearly.Especially looking at the sandbags that have covered most of the entire glass wall, and the various shooting positions that have been specially set aside, Sofite couldn't help but nodded and praised: "A temporary stronghold? This layout is very standard. .”

"Of course this is the standard. If even the temporary headquarters is not built up to the standard, then our 16th Mechanical Brigade may have to revoke its designation."

A slightly hoarse voice came from the supermarket, and Sofitel, who was still next to Liszt, was taken aback for a moment. The glass door of the supermarket was slowly pushed open, and Old Buhner walked out directly, with a serious and haze on his face. , especially when he stared at Sofitel's surprised face, but showed a smile: "Can I trust you now? Sofitel!"

"General Buner, Sofitel, Commander of Company E, is very pleased to meet you!"

When Sofite said any unnecessary words, he just stood up straight and saluted Old Bunar, just like he usually did in training.And his face was also extremely serious and serious, and he reported loudly: "All E companies are always waiting for your orders!"

Similarly, this is undoubtedly the answer to the old Bunar's question, and it is also the best interpretation of the question in the old Bunar's mind.This is a way of answering among soldiers, and the old Buner also likes this kind of firm answer.He also stood still, and the look of the commander of the 16th Mechanical Brigade recovered on him again. Old Buner smiled and nodded, "Very good."

"General Buner, but my E Company...has less than two platoons now."

But Sofite's words made the smile on Old Bunar's face disappear again. Looking at the embarrassing old face in front of him, Sofite hesitated for a moment, and still gritted his teeth: "I only found out when I arrived in this city. All the 16th Mechanical Brigade was ordered by the Federal Command to withdraw from the city, leaving only these 70 people waiting here."

"More than 70 people? Although it is a bit regrettable, at least it is expected, at least better than the five of us."

Nodding his head slowly, the old Buner smiled reluctantly, and the army of more than 70 people can fully form a fighting force.If you encounter such a terrifying monster, you won't be slaughtered sadly like killing a chicken.But thinking of that terrifying monster, he couldn't help but raised his head and frowned at Sofitel: "You also encountered that terrifying monster?"

The deathclaw, which was still being researched in the laboratory before the war, was undoubtedly a terrifying monster to this group of ordinary people.Especially the demon-like appearance, sharp claws and sharp teeth, as well as the terrifying speed and strength, even if they are demons who escaped from hell, some people believe it!

"I met two, three were killed, and six were seriously injured." The impression of Death Claw was quite deep in Sofite's mind. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth slowly, and said to Old Bunar seriously: " General, that kind of creature is really quite terrifying, if there is no heavy weapon, I think it is best for us to use the terrain to disperse and evacuate when we encounter them."

Liszt next to him nodded, and he quite agreed with Sofitel's statement.As a biological weapon, the deathclaw can already be said to be very good.With a height of more than two meters, strong vitality, fast speed, and explosive power, it would be a deadly threat to ordinary human soldiers.Especially the small-caliber rifles can't form a too deadly attack for their strong physique, which increases the attack strength of this creature!

But the death claw is not invincible to Liszt.Gently lifting the Winchester M1887 shotgun in his hand, Liszt patted the old antique in his hand, and said with a smile to Sofitel: "We have encountered that kind of thing before, of course as long as we master it It’s actually not that difficult to kill them.” And he shrugged slightly: “It’s like the two I killed before.”

"Sir...sir, to be honest, being a civilian who likes to imagine is a good thing, but I don't think you understand how frightening the creature I mentioned is."

But Sofitel couldn't help frowning. After experiencing the attack of the death claws, he certainly knew how helpless it was to fight against that creature with human flesh and blood.And even the group of professional soldiers under him who had undergone strict training, the terrifying monster that appeared in the darkness and attacked them at that moment was as helpless as a little chicken facing a wild wolf.Slowly calming down the emotions in his heart, he looked at the old Bunar and said: "General Bunar, I think we must leave this area as soon as possible. The lack of light will affect us too much!"

"No, Sofitel, what Liszt said is true." Smiling slightly, the old Buner had a little pride on his face, just like one of his soldiers had won an excellent shooter.He coughed lightly, nodded to Sofitel and said, "Mr. Lister on the Mexican battlefield, I think you should know."

"Mr. Lister on the Mexican battlefield?"

Hearing what the old Bunar said, Sofitel couldn't help frowning, but his eyes widened instantly, and he stared blankly at Liszt next to him.Especially looking at his ordinary appearance carefully, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva slowly, and blurted out in disbelief: "Heaven Butcher?! Impossible, how could he be so ordinary..."

Who doesn't know the Butcher of Paradise on the Mexican battlefield?Even rookies who have just entered the military camp, before receiving military training, those old guys will use that adoring tone and gaze to tell the rookies about the heroic deeds of the Butcher of Heaven when chatting at night .And they will add oil and vinegar according to their own imagination, and change that reputation to be as stalwart as the hero they think in their hearts.For Sofitel, he also coated that name with a layer of shining gold in his imagination.

But he obviously also realized the mistake in his words, coughed subconsciously, and immediately covered up his outdatedness with other words: "Sorry, today's influence on me is too great, I don't even know what I'm doing now What is standing is still not the territory of the United States..."

"It's okay, in fact, you are not the first person to say that to me."

Liszt smiled, looking at the army soldiers standing in the bushes in the distance, the uneasiness in his heart rose more and more without knowing when.He pursed his lips, he always believed that he saved his uneasiness more than once in his heart, and immediately turned his head and said to old Bunar: "General Bunar, Captain Sofitel's suggestion is correct, we must leave this place quickly. area."

But just when General Buhner was about to say something, a series of crisp sounds resounded in the depths of the woods instantly, and the expressions of Old Buhner and Sofitel changed instantly. This is the unique crispness of the M4A1 assault rifle. Shooting!And those army soldiers who were originally hidden in the dense bushes and woods also rushed towards them quickly, and at the same time, each and every one of them had expressions of horror and anger on their faces.

"It's that kind of monster! Captain Sofitel, those monsters are catching up!"

A soldier ran towards this side quickly, pointed at the woods and bushes in the darkness behind and shouted: "I don't know how many there are in the darkness, but it seems that there are no fewer than ten!" With a terrified expression, he still couldn't calm himself down when facing the terrifying creature like Death Claw that came out of mythology. He tried his best to draw a cross on his chest. He widened his eyes and said, "What is needed here is a priest and Crusaders, not us soldiers!"

The U.S. Army soldiers behind him also rushed over in a mess, but many of them gritted their teeth, cursed loudly and held their guns, shooting aimlessly towards the bushes and deep into the woods.But the darkness and dense fog made their shooting look ridiculous like venting the fear in their hearts.

"Bam—"

The muffled gunfire was different from the crispness of the M4A1 assault rifle. A huge muzzle flame appeared above Liszt's head, making the more than 70 US Army soldiers around him turn their heads and look this way.Simply reloading the Winchester M1887 shotgun in his hand, Liszt glanced at Sofitel and Old Buhner next to him, and then yelled at the group of terrified army soldiers who were messed up like lambs : "Enter the supermarket and look for a shooting position, if you don't want to die!"
