Embers Ad Infinitum

Sitting in the front row of the black off-road vehicle, the young man in an old cotton jacket turned his head and said eagerly:

"Boss, do you want to catch up now?"

The man with a fierce temperament and an old scar on the corner of his right eye smiled and shook his head:

"Don't worry, with their firepower and experience, they should still be able to last for a while. Moreover, with the size of the Black Swamp Iron Snake, the straight-line speed is definitely not comparable to that of a jeep.

"If we arrive too early, we may be attacked by both sides at the same time, which is too dangerous.

"Besides, we still have to take this opportunity to make some preparations, Jishun, stop!"

"Yes, boss." The driver was the older man wrapped in animal fur.

The black off-road vehicle stopped immediately. With a fierce temperament, the middle-aged man with a "rainstorm" submachine gun pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked to the trunk.

Then, he took off his crumpled black wool overcoat, and handed it along with the weapon to his companion on the heavy motorcycle on the left.

After finishing this task, the middle-aged man lifted the lid of the trunk, bent his back, stretched out his hands, and held something.

His face turned red, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his knees bent even more, as if he had used a lot of strength.

He stepped back step by step, and brought out a tattered square wooden box, enough to fit a person's square wooden box.

With a bang, the wooden box was lowered to the ground.

As it was opened, what was inside was revealed.

It's an iron-black object that looks like armor but has many metal bones.

"Ayu, Jishun, please help me." The middle-aged man turned his head and said to the young man in an old cotton jacket and the middle-aged man who was in charge of driving.

A Yu and Jishun leaned over, and each of them lifted the thing inside the square wooden box without too much effort.

With the traction of gravity, the item unfolded rapidly, revealing its complete appearance:

Its appearance is very close to that of a human, with a metal helmet with crystal goggles, and under the helmet are several pieces of armor connected together to protect important pipelines and lines.

Under this part of the armor is an iron-black, extremely strong, and huge backpack, and around this energy backpack, extending downwards are similar to the cervical spine, thoracic spine, radius, humerus, ulna, scaphoid, femur, patella, Various metal bones of the tibia and fibula, they also have joints, with metal buckles and dense sensors.

Among them, the position of the thoracic spine is involved with pieces of thick armor, and a grenade launcher and an electromagnetic weapon are embedded in each of the arms.

This is a military exoskeleton device, and the production capacity has always been insufficient. Even in the big forces, only the elite of the elite can equip it. It is a real killer.

Not only can it respond to human movements smoothly through a complex and sophisticated sensing system, allowing the wearer to far exceed the limits of human beings in terms of strength, speed, and balance, but it is also equipped with a thermal weapon system and a precise aiming system. , auxiliary fighting system, comprehensive early warning system, anti-virus filtering system and bulletproof armor for important parts.

In addition, just as the invention of thermal weapons reduces the physical requirements of humans in combat, exoskeleton devices can greatly reduce the wearer's consumption, allowing them to continue fighting.

As long as you wear this kind of equipment, it is definitely not a dream for one person to fight against a team with only light weapons.

——Relying on superhuman speed and comprehensive early warning system, the parts of the wearer not protected by bulletproof armor are not so easy to hit.

The middle-aged man walked over, and with the help of Ah Yu and Jishun, he put on the military exoskeleton device, and fastened the metal buckles of each part one by one.

Finally, he adjusted the crystal visor on the metal helmet and activated the device.

After the self-test of the integrated system passed, the man in his prime laughed:

"The battery is only 30% left, and it can be used for more than two hours...enough."

While speaking, his hands covered with iron-black auxiliary bones took back his own "Heavy Rain" submachine gun very easily, as if it was just a toy and weighed nothing.

…………

"Here, what should we do?" Hearing the term "Black Swamp Iron Snake", Long Yuehong almost choked.

In this case, he who has no experience can only seek answers from Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen.

——He clearly saw just now that Shang Jianyao's long burst of assault rifle failed to cause any damage to the giant python, but only caused some damage to the outer scales.

Combined with the knowledge he learned before, he suspects that the large-caliber pistol "United 202" and Bai Chen's "Orange" rifle that can be used as a sniper rifle are also unable to penetrate the thick multi-layered scales of the Black Marsh Iron Snake. Unless it can hit an unprotected vital position.

As for whether the grenade gun is effective, Long Yuehong is not sure, but thinks it should not work. After all, the main lethality of the grenade lies in the explosion and the splash of fragments, rather than armor-piercing.

Jiang Baimian glanced through the rearview mirror:

"Let's run first.

"This guy is not good at this kind of thing. Moreover, it will get tired. Jeep will not. As long as the high-performance battery, engine, and tires are still able to survive, it will not be a problem to run until tomorrow morning."

When Jiang Baimian was talking, Bai Chen didn't slow down the speed of the car too much, but just released the limit state to prevent the various parts of the jeep from malfunctioning.

Obviously, she also agrees with the "race" with the Black Marsh Iron Snake, and doesn't want to fight recklessly.

The jeep is running at high speed, bumping into stones and tree stumps from time to time, giving people the feeling of flying fast.

If it weren't for Bai Chen's good skills and experience in wilderness racing, he could always react in time and deal with it correctly, the jeep might have overturned on the ground long ago, rolled several times in a row, and couldn't move anymore.

The huge black marsh iron snake seemed to be enraged. With the help of sparse trees and overgrown weeds, it sometimes chased Shang Jianyao and others in the sky and sometimes on the ground, and refused to give up.

Its speed is definitely not as fast as the "full firepower" jeep, but due to terrain problems, Bai Chen can't keep the jeep at a high speed all the time, so he has to slow down from time to time to avoid obstacles or quagmire, so although the distance between the two sides is getting wider and wider Big, but the Black Marsh Iron Snake has never been shaken off.

During this process, the Black Marsh Iron Snake opened its mouth wide twice, spraying venom and poisonous mist, but both failed to affect the gray-green jeep due to distance problems.

After two times, the huge boa constrictor seemed to have learned to be smart, and stopped trying to attack from a long distance, and just chased it desperately.

After a few minutes like this, Bai Chen suddenly stepped on the brakes and pulled the steering wheel.

Amidst the creaking sound, the gray-green jeep stopped horizontally.

Because Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao had consciously put on their seat belts during the high-speed driving just now, they were not thrown out, but were pulled when they felt strong inertia.

Before they came back to their senses, Bai Chen said in a deep voice:

"The front has changed!"

Jiang Baimian also discovered this problem:

The front is dark, and the edge of the mire cannot be seen. The deformed trees grow sparsely, and there is no hard road in the middle that can pass through.

It's like the swamp expanded at some point and swallowed the original route.

Whether you look to the left or to the right, you can't find the border at present. I don't know how long it will take to go around. I don't know if this place is surrounded by a big swamp. You can only get out of trouble by going back the same way.

Just when Bai Chen was thinking about whether to propose to continue the "race" and add the item of "going around", Jiang Baimian shouted loudly:

"Shang Jian Yao, get me a metal rod from the trunk.

"Bai Chen, use the hood of the jeep as a support point, and get ready to snipe at the eyes of the black marsh iron snake."

No one questioned, in this fleeting moment, everyone chose to trust the team leader and obey her orders.

Shang Jianyao immediately unfastened his seat belt, leaned back, grabbed a metal pole, and handed it to Jiang Baimian who had already opened the door and got off the car.

——They have seen this thing before, and they have always been a little puzzled, why the team leader didn't bring a tent, but brought such a strange thing.

Holding the "Orange" rifle, Bai Chen came to the hood of the horizontal jeep, put the weapon on it, and put his eyes in front of the scope.

After Jiang Baimian took the metal pole with his left hand, he moved his body on the spot.

The giant python covered with layers of black scales moved rapidly, getting closer and closer.

The surrounding wind seemed to be infected with a stench.

Seeing that the terrifying black marsh iron snake was about to enter the range where it could breathe out poisonous mist, Jiang Baimian took the metal pole in his left hand and ran two steps forward.

Her body stopped suddenly, and she threw the metal pole at the black marsh iron snake.

At the same time, a bright, dazzling, thick electric arc appeared between her left palm and the metal pole!

The electric arc was getting longer and longer, wrapping around the metal rod, making a whizzing sound.

In an instant, the metal pole turned into a thick silver-white electric light, pierced the sky, and fell towards the body of the black marsh iron snake, like a punishment from heaven.

The Black Swamp Iron Snake sensed danger, but such an attack was not fatal, so it just folded its body to avoid its head.

when!

The metal pole wrapped with countless silver-white arcs hit the long and thick torso of the Black Marsh Iron Snake.

Undoubtedly, with Jiang Baimian's strength, it is impossible for this metal rod to pierce the thick multi-layered scales of the target, but the terrifying electric arc group that came with it erupted!

In the voice of Zi, the silver-white light illuminated the surrounding gray-black soil, and countless electric currents spread to every corner of the black marsh iron snake's body in an instant at an unstoppable speed.

This huge, weird boa constrictor suddenly stiffened, paralyzed in place.

Although he didn't know that this change would happen, Bai Chen, who was already prepared, did not hesitate. After slightly adjusting the direction of the lower gun, he resolutely pulled the trigger of the "Orange" rifle.

boom!

A yellow bullet shot out, heading straight for the cold, dark yellow left eye of the Black Swamp Iron Snake.

The Black Swamp Iron Snake sensed in advance that the fatal danger was coming, but it could only watch helplessly in a state of electric shock, and could not try to avoid it.

With a puff, the bullet sank into its cold eyes with vertical pupils, penetrated into its brain, and rolled wantonly.

The lightning faded away quickly, and an indescribable cry that didn't belong to snakes came out from the huge mouth of the Black Swamp Iron Snake.

It collapsed suddenly, rolled wildly on the spot, and knocked down several trees with a bang bang bang.

Not long after, the huge boa constrictor stopped moving and lost all movement.

Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong who looked blank, smiled and rubbed his left arm with his right hand:

"Electric eel-shaped biological prosthesis, you deserve it."

…………

Not far from Shang Jianyao and others, a strong man wearing a military exoskeleton device and his companions heard gunshots and screams, and felt the slight vibration of the ground and the movement of trees collapsing.

The mature man looked happy and said:

"They have reached the most intense and tragic stage.

"It's now, go!"
