attack city

After arranging things on the farm, the precision parts processing factory has already made two copies of the Eagle 1200 samples.

Xiang Yang went to test fire in person.

The quality is slightly worse than the original version, mainly because the barrel is more difficult, but it is no problem to use and the accuracy is not bad.

The effective range has been reduced a bit, to about 650 meters. In terms of current equipment and imitation, this range has also reached a very good technical level.

In fact, without a scope, it is difficult to aim at a target at such a long distance.

So, this doesn't matter at all.

"Continue to make some more, and try to get each person to have a rifle. We will focus on this for the time being, and put the pistol aside first." He did not expect to succeed in imitating it so quickly, and Xiang Yang was also a little surprised.

At present, pistols are enough for them, but rifles are more important.

"Okay, leave it to us."

Shangguan Rui continued to work on this, and Xiang Yang asked Yu Bin and others to continue testing and try to get more experimental data so that Shangguan Rui could continue to improve.

As for the ammunition, I have almost used it, and I can get some more.

It is also possible to just buy ammunition without giving away the rifle, and it will be cheaper. However, if you buy less, it will not be as cost-effective as giving away the rifle.

If you buy more, you won't have any problems.

The transformation on the farm was very fast. When Xiang Yang went over a few days later, it had been completed and the entire farmland looked very complicated.

Standing at a high place, you can clearly see the interconnected ditches and puddles crisscrossing the farmland.

Some small fish have been put into these ditches and puddles.

The seedlings have also been planted.

Although it is an indoor farm, after the transformation and cooperation of so many facilities, it also looks like an idyllic scenery.

The fish pond and duck house are even more abundant. They look a bit like the ponds in the old parks. Tang Ming and the others also planted some tomatoes and a few fruit trees beside the fish pond.

If you can grow cash crops, don't grow other crops. The cities in the wasteland world are very real.

This morning, Xiang Yang went to the training ground.

When not moving around the city, it is also Xiang Yang's usual job to walk around and inspect the operation of various facilities.

In the training ground, Yu Bin continued to lead a group of players in training.

This is a new training subject, small team tactics in the narrow terrain inside the city. In fact, it is based on the indoor close-range combat of special forces as a template, adding some sword fighting, and carrying out modified tactics.

A team of five people, two with pistols, two with rifles, and one with a bulletproof shield, conduct team joint operations.

Of course, everyone is equipped with swords.

The commonly used straight-edged swords in the wasteland world are shorter than normal swords because they can be drawn out quickly and will not get in the way in narrow places.

But it is much longer than that kind of military dagger, so it is more advantageous to use it with thermal weapons.

Xiang Yang watched quietly from the side. The people in the field were more focused on training and did not notice his arrival until it was time to take a break.

"City Lord, you are here."

"City Lord."

"Good morning, City Lord."

"..."

When Yu Bin and the others saw Xiang Yang, they all stood at attention and paid tribute.

"We have six of these bulletproof shields, right?" Xiang Yang said thoughtfully.

"Yes, six. There were originally two more, but they were contaminated by the blood of zombies. For safety reasons, we gave up." Yu Bin said.

"Is there any way to modify it to prevent rifle bullets?"

Xiang Yang thought of this just now. Of course, he also knew that if he wanted to protect himself from rifle bullets, the weight would probably increase a lot, and it would obviously be impossible to hold it in combat.

However, he came up with an idea.

"If it's too heavy, you can install wheels and use it specifically for small team position defense in the city's passageways."

With wheels, you can push it around without holding it. Although the movement is severely limited, it has little impact as a fixed defensive position.

The main reason is that shields are usually useless, they are not used for hunting, and there are not many places to go out to search for ruins.

If you encounter creatures such as giant beasts in the ruins, this will not be useful.

If you hold this, you will run much slower. If you encounter an emergency, you can only throw it away. It is usually not taken out of the city as a backup equipment.

The same goes for equipment like body armor.

These can only be used when the information is sufficient and available, or within the city.

Therefore, Xiang Yang thought that since it was usually kept in the warehouse, he might as well use it as backup equipment for possible civil wars in the city.

Although it is not used much in daily life, Yu Bin leads the team to conduct training in this area mainly because he is good at it. In addition, as a new human being, he will never forget some of his past tactical habits.

Of course, it is better to master one more skill than one less. This is also based on this idea.

"This is made of composite materials. I asked Shangguan Rui and the others, but we can't make it at the moment."

Yu Bin picked up the shield and said: "If you want to prevent rifle bullets, you must use a very thick special steel plate. Ordinary steel plates are too heavy. It is difficult to add a layer outside this. It feels like it cannot be welded."

"It's better to make a steel plate, install wheels underneath, and make two shields, but that would require more manpower."

"I feel it is better to prepare a few sandbags to build defensive fortifications. Although it cannot be moved, positional warfare will be much more efficient. Build more defensive positions, leave a walking passage in the middle of the sandbag formation, and create walking passages between the positions.

Form a zigzag shape and establish a cross-deep position."

Yu Bin's ideas are basically conventional combat thinking.

But urban passages cannot be done like this. Putting sandbags on them will probably not be used for a lifetime. Isn’t this taking up space and blocking the road? Xiang Yang’s idea is a movable high-strength bulletproof shield.

"One thing you reminded me is that sandbags are really good." This thing is very bulletproof. "But instead of placing them on the ground, you can make some small sandbags and tie them to the bulletproof shield. This will increase the shield's defense."

The advantage of using separate small sandbags is that if one is punctured and the sand leaks out, the rest will be fine, which is much better than using one alone.

"Yeah, it seems so. It's much easier to hang some sandbags than add a steel plate."

Yu Bin thought for a while, suddenly enlightened, and said: "You can also put a thinner steel plate on the outside of the sandbag. It can simply fix the sandbag to prevent it from being scattered when it is too small, and there is no need to tie it up."

"Let's do this. We have six bulletproof shields, leaving three as handhelds for three teams to use. The other half will be modified and used as movable semi-fixed bulletproof walls. They can be used in emergencies."

Xiang Yang asked Yu Bin to come up with a plan, including the specific size, quantity, and mounting location of the sandbags.

Because the outside is covered with a layer of steel plate, which can be made into various fixed shapes such as water chestnuts, they can make the sandbags thicker in some places and thinner in some places.

In this way, the overall weight is reduced, but there is no problem in terms of defense.

The specific thickness can be obtained by testing the bulletproof effect, as long as the bulletproof effect is guaranteed within a certain distance.

Then let the workshops and precision parts processing factories carry out modifications.

Two days later, the specific product came out. The upper third of the shield and the vertical strip in the middle were specially thickened, which can completely prevent attacks from the Eagle Rifle within ten meters.

In other positions, the arc shape is adopted, so that it is similar to a steel helmet. The non-frontal bullets can buffer part of the force and can be bounced away if you are lucky.

If hit from the front, the non-thickened part can only protect against attacks from thirty meters away, and will be penetrated at close range. However, the power of the bullet has been significantly reduced. As long as it does not hit a vital point, it will basically only cause minor damage.

As long as the person close to the shield wears a body armor, no matter the distance or the position of the shield, they can perfectly prevent rifle attacks.

After being wrapped with steel plates, the sandbags are removable, which not only minimizes the loss of sand after the sandbag is shot and is broken, but also allows the sandbag to be replenished quickly.

"This shield is also used in the tactics of defensive warfare in the city."

Although Xiang Yang's way of thinking is more aboriginal due to his rebirth, he is still a new human being after all, and sometimes he thinks about problems like Yu Bin. This can be regarded as a way to prepare for a rainy day without spending too much energy.

Yu Bin began to modify his tactical subjects. He was quite experienced in using firearms for indoor close combat, and it was easy to make adjustments.

After all, before coming to the wasteland, a large part of the tasks he performed were this.

………………

After resting for more than a month, Xiang Yang decided to set off for the Mohe Trading Ground.

Although the Crocodile Valley trading ground is safe, the resources here are limited and the number of cities is small, so he decided to stay on the Mohe side.

With everything ready, Shenlong City sets out again.

At noon that day, six days away from the Mohe Trading Ground, a small group of energy behemoths, seven in total, appeared on the radar, about 20 kilometers away from the established urban crawler track route.

On the main continent, ordinary cities rarely encounter such energy behemoths acting alone, or in one or two.

So far, there is no information showing that the energy giant will naturally age and die, but there is no information that can confirm that the energy giant is immortal.

Although most people still believe that energy giants do not die naturally and illness is rare, there is indeed no evidence to support eternal life.

How big the energy behemoth can eventually grow depends on the species, and not all will grow forever.

If they live alone as adults, they are probably super predators, usually the type that can grow to extremely large sizes.

So far, no one knows how large this kind of energy behemoth can grow.

That is, the upper limit is unknown.

This solitary energy behemoth is small in number, but has a wide range of activities. It usually has an erratic whereabouts and will constantly move its location following food. It usually has a sphere of influence and has superior abilities to search and sense prey.

When a city or other energy behemoth enters its sphere of influence, it is usually discovered from a long distance away.

There is no such monster on the way from Crocodile Valley to Mohe.

At least Xiang Yang has never heard of it.

The most common energy monsters live in small groups, that is, more than three, but generally less than a hundred.

The group we met last time when we cooperated with Osmanthus City to attack the energy beast's lair and get energy crystals was a typical representative of this type.

The numerous types of iron-eating beasts in the Iron Sand Continent also fall into this category.

If the mountains were not rich in metals, they would not gather together, but would act independently in small groups of dozens, dozens, or hundreds.

Or they live in extremely large groups, of which the bear stone-eating beast is a typical example.

Usually they gather in groups of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, somewhat similar to herds of animals on the grassland, or insect-like creatures similar to locusts.

These species are also among the largest players in the energy behemoth tide.

Shenlong City continued to move forward, and the distance between it and the seven energy giants narrowed to over a hundred kilometers.

Although those energy behemoths are constantly moving, there is not much change from the established urban crawler track route, and they have been wandering around twenty to thirty kilometers.

The direction of movement is away from Shenlong City.

This was obviously just an ordinary migration, not the discovery of Shenlong City.

The ability of an energy behemoth to sense or discover a city depends on its level in the food chain among the energy behemoths. The higher it is in the food chain, the stronger its ability is, and vice versa.

Although there are exceptions, this rule is still a general phenomenon.

Shenlong City did not deviate from its own route and had lookouts. As long as they had a clear line of sight, they could easily confirm the enemy's size and strength and other information from an extremely long distance.

You don't even need to send people out to investigate.

"One at the town level should be a male, one at the village level should be a female, and there are five left, two at the villa level and three at the suite level."

It was cloudless today, the sun was high, and the visibility was very good, so the distance was still thirty-five kilometers away, so we got specific information.

Although the optical distance of the lookout is thirty kilometers, when the sight is good, it can be seen much further. Experienced people can confirm the type and strength of the energy behemoth from a farther distance.

The person responsible for this reconnaissance mission was Wu Zhongjun.

"Confirmed to be an ordinary predator, a type of cat-like energy beast, an omnivorous type that is on all fours. The biggest characteristics of this type of energy beast are its sensitive movements and fast speed. It will definitely be no problem to exceed 200 kilometers per hour as an adult.

.”

Omnivores mean that in addition to preying on other energy giants, they also eat minerals and even eat any food that can be converted into energy, including the horns of the iron-horned cattle they discovered before.

"Generally, adults are at the manor level or above, and the maximum size is only at the town level. They are probably carrying their cubs around the Terror Swamp."

Wu Zhongjun's report is very detailed.

Not all energy behemoths have specific names. Humans often name them simply with understandable appearances and some characteristics.

In fact, those seven energy behemoths are nothing like cats, except that their limbs and torsos are somewhat similar, they have strong climbing and jumping abilities, and their hunting methods are similar, so they are called so.

The Terror Swamp is located in the east of the track pressed by the city's tracks, about 80 kilometers away.

In fact, it is a normal swampland, but for any second-stage city, and even some third-stage cities, it is considered a disaster area just like what is marked on the map.

The swamp covers an extremely large area and extends all the way to the seaside. It is recognized as a dead land and is home to various swamp creatures, including energy giants.

No matter it is in the air or on the ground, you will die if you enter it, there will be no accidents.

The kind of energy behemoth that lives in the non-swampland needs to be strong enough to dare even if it just goes to the edge to drink water.

Because there are not many non-swamp energy giants who dare to move around the horror swamp, at most only a small group occasionally passes by the periphery.

Swampland organisms generally do not expand to dry land.

Therefore, this section of the route to Mohe becomes safer.
