Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 827 Cat and Mouse

Boom!

The grenade landed next to the jeep, and the wind and waves and the flying fragments slapped on the bulletproof armor and glass, giving Long Yuehong and Bai Chen in the car a feeling of being unable to compete with the mighty power of nature. Feel.

Jiang Baimian was very lucky, because closing the car door did not require very precise movements. Even if she was "drunk", she could do it relatively easily. Otherwise, she was really not sure whether she would have had time to do this before the grenade landed. thing.

And without the protection of Jeep, even if she wears a military exoskeleton device to protect several vital points from being hit, she may not be able to survive.

After the explosion subsided slightly, Bai Chen started the car, took control of the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator.

The jeep jumped out with a swish, and Bai Chen experienced for the first time what it meant to drive under the influence.

Her limbs didn't follow her brain's instructions very well, and her brain's reaction was always a beat or two slower.

When she read old world entertainment information before, she didn't really understand why being drunk would affect driving so much. After all, as a wilderness wanderer and relic hunter who grew up in poverty, she could rarely drink, even if she went to the Weed City bar. When asking for information and having to "do as the Romans do", she would not indulge herself and would only get tipsy at most.

At this moment, she finally understood how correct the saying "Don't drive if you drink, and don't drink if you drive" often appeared in entertainment materials in the old world.

She had no way to control herself. Although the military exoskeleton device provided sufficient assistance, it was ultimately an external device that operated based on her own reactions, and it was impossible to forcefully modify her movements.

It's like the "precision aiming system" only provides the wearer with a reference, helps correct the shooting elements within a certain range, and gives the correct posture and direction, but it cannot force the wearer to shoot where.

Of course, it is also possible to use the exoskeleton device as the main device and the wearer as a supplement, just like some cars have the function of autonomous driving.

Unfortunately, this requires certain operations to switch the system mode. Bai Chen, who was in a "drunk" state, could not complete it in a short time, and reality did not give her enough time.

In addition, the automatic mode of military exoskeleton devices is completely inferior to intelligent robots. The older the model, the more so. If we really rely on it, it will inevitably have rigid and rigid movements and be full of various problems.

As Bai Chen stepped on the accelerator, the Jeep started to fly.

This was much faster than she expected, because in her "drunk" state she failed to control the strength of the accelerator.

Obviously, the woods are not a suitable place for drag racing.

The next second, a giant tree reflected in Bai Chen's eyes.

She turned around suddenly, but it took her a full second for her brain to issue the command and her body to react.

So, there is no way back.

boom!

The jeep hit the tree so hard that needle-like leaves fell like rain, and it stopped when it hit it.

Bai Chen was about to reverse the car when he suddenly saw the figure wearing a "chameleon"-like bionic smart armor reappearing in the distance.

This time, she was carrying a weapon with a slightly complicated structure on her shoulders, which looked very heavy and looked like a rocket launcher.

Several members of the "Old Tune Group" all know this thing:

AS-9 individual anti-tank missile produced by "First City".

"Abandon the car!" Jiang Baimian shouted, opened the door and fell out.

Bai Chen also behaved similarly, and Long Yuehong opened the door on the other side because it was closest to him.

Boom!

The AS-9 anti-tank missile failed to hit the jeep and hit the giant tree, breaking it in half and causing it to crash to the ground.

Jiang Baimian was stunned for a while.

With the distance between the two sides being only over a hundred meters, and with a target as big as a jeep, the enemy actually failed to blow up his own group's vehicle!

Perhaps the opponent was affected by the recoil caused by the bombardment just now, Jiang Baimian instantly felt that his "drunken" state had eased.

Coupled with the coldness brought by the "right hand of chaos", her trembling mind suddenly soared:

"Is this the first time this guy used a man-made anti-tank missile? Her previous grenade was also a little off target, missing by a meter or two... afraid of detonating the bomb on the car? No, since you have decided to attack us, you must choose The method that I am best at and the safest method is impossible to regard this as an opportunity for actual combat training...

"One of her abilities is to put us into a 'drunk' state, affecting our reaction speed and movement ability. It is not directly fatal... Another ability is to make our shots 'actively' avoid her body. Well, maybe this is another manifestation of the 'drunk' state...

"In short, so far, her ability characteristics are closer to control, and this kind of ability is a perfect match for thermal weapons such as firearms... She can enter the 'soul corridor' step by step. She has not fought with people before. It stands to reason Generally speaking, her shooting ability will only be strong, not weak...

"When she first started using the gun, she could accurately hit my outstretched hand. It didn't look like she was blind...

"I had a doubt from the very beginning. Why did she take the initiative to do something to let herself be detected by the 'comprehensive early warning system' of the military exoskeleton device? Her best choice at that time should have been to hide in a farther and more hidden place. Taking advantage of our 'drunk' state, shoot them one by one...

"Combined with the latter performance, although it is ridiculous, I still think she may be playing a cat and mouse game...

"She was addicted to such a battle and was not in a hurry to deal with us, so she deliberately missed the target. It was just intimidation and coercion...

"When she has had enough fun, she will really use her full strength and strike cruelly...

"Such behavior is difficult to understand, but it is not too unacceptable when it comes to an awakened person... Is this some kind of reflection of her price?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Baimian's brain became heavy and numb again.

If it weren't for the stimulation of the "cold", it would seem like she would have to use all her strength just to think about a question.

The severe "drunk" state is back.

Although Jiang Baimian had some speculation just now and felt that as long as he and others maintained a normal level of response, their lives would not be in danger in a short period of time, this was still just a guess and needed to be verified later.

And even if the enemy's price was indeed similar to what she had guessed, she couldn't think of how to take advantage of it.

The first reason is that the brain is not cooperative enough, and the second reason is that the enemy has been very cautious so far, always keeping a sufficient distance to prevent himself from being counterattacked.

The "Right Hand of Chaos" doesn't have enough range, and the jeep won't start for a while, so it can't help me close the distance... Think of a way to lure her within a hundred meters? Jiang Baimian took advantage of the "cold" still having a certain effect, and rolled behind a nearby tree while thinking about what to do next.

Then, she reached her destination and stopped.

Then, she saw an item inside the Jeep.

It was a small speaker with a blue background and black surface that belonged to Shang Jianyao.

This thing with Shang Miyao's aura was originally placed on the armrest box, but now it fell next to the brake due to the previous impact.

It can complete "thought implantation" through singing, which comes from Shang Jianyao himself and overlaps with his abilities. Therefore, Shang Jianyao left it with his teammates to enrich the measures they can take when encountering enemies.

Jiang Baimian's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he instantly had an idea.

At the same time, she was quite annoyed and wanted to slap herself.

Right hand.

She was affected by her "drunken" state before, and she didn't think of the small speaker immediately and thought of using this item!

As soon as his thoughts changed, Jiang Baimian shouted to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen who had already found cover respectively:

"Each of us, find a way to break through.

"She is only one person!"

On the surface, she let Long Yuehong and Bai Chen go their separate ways, taking full advantage of the fact that there was only one enemy and could only choose one direction to pursue them. In fact, she used this to deceive the target, allowing her to shift her subsequent focus to preventing the "old" The three members of the tuning team escaped, so that he could return to the jeep and take out the small speaker.

And the coverage of this prop only depends on how far its sound can travel.

If the volume is turned to the maximum, it is not impossible to reach more than 100 meters or even 200 meters!

…………

Cornimis, in the main city, in the small square.

Shang Jianyao looked around and said:

"We continue to go deeper. If we encounter the same situation twice more and need to flush it with high-voltage current, then consider evacuating."

"Even if we haven't discovered what is the root of the problem here?" Gnawa asked rhetorically.

Shang Jianyao nodded solemnly and replied calmly:

"As I said before, it's not like I'll stop coming in after I exit this time.

"We can even temporarily leave Cornimis, go south into the sphere of influence of the 'White Knights', find a way to replenish the electrical energy, and then return here."

Dang Dang Dang, Gnawa applauded him.

The intelligent robot said in a slightly synthetic voice:

"Dabai must appreciate your current thinking."

Shang Jianyao didn't respond, pointed forward and said:

"continue."

After running for a certain distance and leaving the square, he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Gennava asked.

Shang Jianyao raised his eyes and looked ahead and said:

"Although I haven't sensed the 'New World' node yet, I suddenly feel like there is a huge whirlpool in the distance.

"The vortex is slowly getting stronger!"
