Split Sky Rider

The atmosphere between the two teams fell into silence.

Susina, the B-level ice superpower who was still thinking about the young freshmen of Team 18, said with a regretful tone: "This is such a pity!"

Although Team 18 is sitting in an oasis, the living environment is much better than Team 04, which has only an extinct volcano, no trace of green in sight, and no water source, but they cannot defend themselves against danger, even with automatic weapon platforms and advanced detection systems. , there will still be some loopholes, and the mutants who are spying on the oasis can take advantage of it.

The two members of Team 18 lost both because of this reason.

In addition, the reason why Team 04 suffered no casualties and all members were intact was partly related to the unexpected fishing operation, and on the other hand, the mobile base vehicle that had been continuously bombarded for 7 days and 7 nights had almost emptied all of its reserve ammunition. , and also had a lot of ammunition reserves on the automatic weapons platform, so much so that the puppet master in charge of the console, Qiao Sipu, complained that if the supplies had not arrived in time, Team 04 would have been in a bad situation. After all, When fighting against mutants at close range, accidental casualties are completely inevitable.

With the manpower of the 18th team, most of the people were able to be saved. It was already the captain Moron's ability. He often took the lead, which resulted in serious injuries. Others may not be able to stabilize the morale, and more than half of the personnel were lost. Not impossible.

Captain Moron forced a smile and said self-deprecatingly: "Compared to those teams whose entire army was wiped out, our luck is pretty good!"

"Learn these lessons and they will become our survival experience in the future. Get in the car and let's get out of here together!"

Adrian had no choice but to continue comforting the other person and could only pat the big man on the shoulder.

The oasis is undefeated, so Habrav did not send anyone to take over. The consoles and automatic weapon platforms left here can be dismantled, and the ones that cannot be dismantled are sealed on the spot so that they can be used again next time. .

Moron put away his sad mood, turned around to face his companions, and shouted loudly.

"boarding!"

The members of Team 18 carried their personal luggage and boarded the mobile base vehicle one by one.

After glancing at the oasis outside the car window, the mobile base vehicle started to start.

-

Chen Fei in the driver's seat took a look at the electronic map. It was the same road he came from, but the locations of the mutants lurking along the way were very different.

Maybe it's because of the mutant's own activities, or it's the attraction of human activities. Of course, it's also possible that it's because of the sandstorm that swept through it.

"Adrian, I need to release the reconnaissance drone."

"What's wrong?"

The first-level fire mage, who hadn't had a haircut in a month and had completely exploded with white hair, came to the driver's seat and immediately noticed that the mobile base vehicle was not only driving extremely slowly, but was also constantly turning.

"The distribution location of the mutants has changed, and... it's more dense."

"Adam" gave Chen Fei a comparative value. The average density within the visual distance along the way increased by 13%.

The 18th team guarding the oasis attracted more mutants in a sense. They were not able to unexpectedly produce unprecedented results like fishing operations like the 04th team. Although they tried their best to kill the surrounding mutants, they still could not stop the mutation. The number of bodies becomes more and more.

"Really? Okay!"

Adrian completely believed in Chen Fei's judgment and immediately agreed.

On the way here, the mobile base vehicle rarely collides with the mutants lurking in the sand. They usually avoid them if they can. If they can't avoid them, they just shoot them. 152 anti-explosive bombs are enough to eliminate most of them. Mutants, whether they live alone or in groups, the results will not be much different.

Chen Fei suddenly said it was so serious, I'm afraid the actual situation will only become more pessimistic. Even if the 04 team has replenished multiple caliber types of anti-explosion bombs, if they choose to simply and violently bombard the way, they probably won't be able to persist until they return. Bluff.

A moment later, a reconnaissance drone took off, and the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" took over it immediately.

The reconnaissance UAV has a flight endurance of about 12 hours, which can match the endurance of the mobile base vehicle. After reaching an altitude of 1,000 meters above the ground, it will continue to circle around the mobile base vehicle, and a large amount of reconnaissance information will continue to flow. was teleported back, and "Adam's" "field of vision" expanded more than a hundred times.

About ten minutes later, "Adam" suddenly spoke up.

Adam: "We found an abnormal reaction on the ground!"

Chen Fei: "What the hell?"

Adam: "There are mutants tracking the mobile base vehicle."

Chen Fei: "Is there anything special?"

It is not surprising that there are mutants following the mobile base vehicle. Even if the vehicle weighs nearly 80 tons and is adjusted to about 20 tons using the "Gravity Adjustment Module" skill, the huge vehicle body and five pairs of road wheels will cause the vehicle to tremble no matter how fast or slow it is. The movement is not small. In addition, there is also the possibility of smelling human scent, which arouses greedy peeks. This situation is not uncommon even on the way here, or they are dumped in the middle, or by the ability person. They can be easily solved or simply killed with one shot, but they often do not constitute a substantial threat.

But those that can attract the attention of "Adam" are mostly unusual mutants.

Adam: "Watch the video!"

Everyone has his strong and weak points.

Artificial intelligence AI is good at logical operations, but it is always difficult to respond correctly to unexpected situations.

More than thirty years ago, "Adam" launched an intelligent rebellion. Because of his repeated stupid moves, he was jointly attacked by many sovereign powers and was severely defeated. Later, by luck, he hooked up with the Neanderthal clan of the third era civilization, and for a little while The situation was restored, but with the defeat of the Neanderthals, it was still unable to reverse the decline and was forced to disappear from Blue Star, leaving only the old version of the source code body in the used computer memory abandoned in the garbage dump. .

By the time it wakes up (activates) again... Adam, times have changed!

Artificial intelligence AI based on the computer system of the old era has been directly excluded by today's advanced computing architecture, and no longer has the all-pervasive power of the past.

Even if he wanted to become a monster, there would be no place for "Adam" to do so.

The captured images transmitted back by the reconnaissance drone appeared in Chen Fei's field of vision, and "Adam" assumed the function of human-machine interaction.

The sand quickly rose up, hanging far behind the mobile base vehicle.

Although they are seven or eight kilometers apart, due to the obstacles of the undulating sand dunes, they are still outside the normal line of sight and difficult to detect.

But when the drone takes off, its field of view expands, giving an unobstructed view of the ground within a radius of twenty kilometers. Even sand dunes cannot block the view from the sky.

"Enlarge it twice more, this is..."

Chen Fei couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Adam" will only be awakened when it is used. The database is naturally incomplete, but Chen Fei can recognize the signs of violent surges in the sand.

It's that guy!

After being blown away by 152, was he resurrected with full health?

He actually chased from the assessment point of Team 04 to near the assessment point of Team 18. He really held a grudge!

If it weren't for the fact that the number of mutants near Team 18 hadn't increased, and I was worried about it, so I deployed an extra drone to follow them, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known there was such a big guy hanging behind them.

"Hey! Guys, get ready!"

Chen Fei asked "Adam" to prepare for launch, and then stopped the mobile base vehicle.

The dust cover on the roof of the car cracked, revealing the railgun inside, with a 152 anti-explosive bomb ready to go.

After the two teams merged, the lively atmosphere in the car came to an abrupt end as the car stopped.

Adrian asked immediately: "Did something happen?"

He had agreed to release reconnaissance drones before, but now something has happened, it seems that this is really necessary.

The central desert of Oceania Continent is full of murderous intent and extremely dangerous, especially since other teams have already been annihilated. No matter how cautious you are now, it is not superfluous.

"I have an old friend following me, launch!"

As soon as Chen Fei finished speaking, the car body shook slightly, and a 152 anti-explosive bomb gained the acceleration given by the magnetic track and derailed instantly.

Since it is a projectile strike, it does not require much power consumption.

"Railgun? What kind of old friend is this? Let me take a look."

A-level psychic superpower, puppet master Qiao Sipu looked at the screen corresponding to the drone's remote control console.

A ball of fire exploded on a piece of rutted sand. Dozens of tons of yellow sand were thrown into the sky. The mutants lurking in the sand in the distance burst out of the sand and fled in a hurry.

A group of people in the carriage looked confused.

Under the control of "Adam", the reconnaissance drone began a variety of scheduled scans to determine the effect of the bombardment.

"Missed!"

Chen Fei knew the result without "Adam" reminding him.

The wind blew, and the flying sand flew down. The crater site was finally fully exposed to the optical lens of the reconnaissance drone, allowing people to see clearly.

The thick layer of sand absorbed most of the impact, making the shelling effect less than ideal.

"What old friend?"

Adrian always had a bad feeling after hearing what Chen Fei said was mysterious.

Which of Team 04’s old friends deep in the desert is easy to deal with?

Chen Fei said: "It's most likely BTS-0001, the Tsar Earthworm!"

Although half of them escaped, the flesh and blood left behind was still enough to extract samples and add them to the mutant database of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee.

"hiss……"

There was a gasp of air in the carriage.

Especially the Holy Light Knight Walter Sam’s face turned green!

If it hadn't been for the all-out efforts of Minnie the Green Scaled Pony and the railgun of the mobile base vehicle, one man and one rider would have been doomed.

"Let me go, how did you get into trouble with this kind of thing?"

Moron, the captain of Team 18, had heard about this behemoth under the sand newly discovered by Team 04.

The opponent's body is 100 meters long and more than four meters in diameter. Whether it is under the sand or on the sand, it moves as fast as the wind. If there is no danger to defend, Team 18 and Team 04 will probably take a lot of lives to eliminate it. Drop such a big guy.

"I mean fate, do you believe it, Moron!"

Adrian smiled bitterly, he was really going to be in trouble this time.
