Chapter 135

The northern suburb of Qingquan city.

Stepping on the snow buried in the lower legs, five sets of black power armor, walking under the abandoned viaduct, moving towards Qingquan city.

"... radio activity is detected. About four kilometers ahead, the signal activity is low and cannot be analyzed."

"Can you identify each other?"

"Obviously not. We don't know anything about the situation here... I suggest asking a nearby Aboriginal about it first."

"Good idea."

Looking beyond the road signs marked with place names, Lu Yang looked up at the dead city ahead, and his eyebrows under his helmet wrinkled.

"Is this Qingquan city?"

Qingquan city is located in the south of the valley province. As one of the important hubs of the central urban agglomeration, hundreds of millions of people once lived here.

As for now, I'm afraid there are not enough people living here to make a change.

Lu Yang stretched out his index finger, gently knocked on the side of his helmet, and quickly sent out the geographic information image in Qingquan area from the database.

Compared with the good times before the war, today's place is just like hell, leaving only desolation, dilapidation, depression and death.

"This damn war..."

Lu Yang confirmed the map, waved his fist forward, and took his four small team members along the wreckage of the viaduct.

It is not only Qingquan city that has become this ghost. If they want to remember the past, they can remember from the horizon to the Kuiper belt.

But it makes no sense.

The reason why they came here from the east coast is not for archaeology, nor for making documentaries, but to continue to move forward, all the way west, into the wilderness, to find the last hope of human civilization - the legendary refuge No. 0.

As for why stop here

To be honest, Luyang doesn't want to.

Unfortunately, however, there was something wrong with their means of transportation.

If you want to repair it as soon as possible, you can only ask nearby survivors for help.

He doesn't want to waste months here.

According to the experience of the trip, once they stop for more than a month, they will have a lot of trouble coming to the door.

"Captain, there's a drone watching us."

The marine walking on Luyang's left raised his head, looked at the airspace directly ahead, and continued in a funny tone.

"It's a lovely little guy... There's no matching model in my database, but just looking at the appearance, it should be changed by a civilian UAV before the war. It's difficult for it to fly so high."

Another marine said lazily.

"It seems that there should be a shelter nearby. It's great. At last, you don't have to deal with the aborigines."

"How do you know that the people living in the shelter are not natives? Did you forget the blue coat we met last time? He always claimed that he was from shelter 117, and then swallowed the gum I gave him."

"Ha ha ha!"

As he spoke, there was an uncontrollable laughter from the communication channel.

Obviously, they didn't take the little guy in the sky to heart.

"Don't interrupt, others are watching us."

Pulling out the jamming gun inserted in the waist, the Marines walking on the outermost side cast an inquiring line of sight at their captain.

"Shall I get it off?"

"No need."

Lu Yang gestured to his comrades in arms to stop, then waved to the sky to show that he had found it.

"Friends from afar, we have no malice. Can we talk if it's convenient?"

Lu Yang was not sure whether the drone had a sound acquisition system, so he turned on the speaker on the power armor helmet and expressed his friendliness in a loud voice.

The sound echoed over the ruins.

Maybe I heard his voice, maybe I realized that I had been found, and the UAV fell to the height and flew in front of them.

It was a silver ball, surprisingly small. The propeller blade didn't know what material to use. It was quiet when flying.

Lu Yang watched it stop in front of him, turn around him, and then slowly float to the Wetland Park in front of him.

The little players on one side exchanged their eyes.

"Is this a sign of friendship?"

"Probably. It seems to be inviting us."

"Captain, shall we go?"

Luyang thought for a moment and said.

"Wang Yi stayed and looked for the commanding heights nearby to observe. The rest followed me."

"Yes!"

……

Outpost, the third floor of the sanatorium.

Through the screen on his arm, Chu Guang looked at the four people entering the Wetland Park, and a little dignified appeared on his face.

Power armor!

He had only heard of it in the mouth of the survivors before, but now he saw it for the first time, but he didn't expect it to be more exaggerated than he thought.

Heavy full protective armor covers every inch of their skin. The rectangular modular rifle in their hands emits a dark cold light.

They are like humanoid tanks coming out of science fiction studios.

Chu Guang even doubted that the bullets of general caliber hit them. What's the difference between scratching and itching.

Heavy armor and equipment did not affect their mobility at all. At least from the way they walked freely in the jungle, crossing obstacles was like fun for them.

Chu Guang roughly estimated that the equipment of these people was at least 1.5 tons or even more than 2 tons. No accident, it should be driven by fusion battery.

Just now he operated the hummingbird and flew around the power armor in front. He didn't see an obvious fuel tank or battery structure. If it is a fuel cell such as solid hydrogen, although it can make the fuel density very high, it can not be so high.

Obviously, the power armor these people wear is high-grade!

If there is a conflict, it is estimated that the whole outpost, only the hammer behind them, can pose a certain threat to their armor.

Compared with these people, the green skinned muscle guy on 76th street is a crumb.

"Xiao Qi, go back to the ground first."

Xiao Qi tilted over the camera and looked at Chu Guang and asked.

"But master, it's only in the afternoon."

"It doesn't matter what time it is. I'm not sure whether those people outside are enemies or friends. If there is a conflict, I'm afraid I can't care about you. It's safer for you to go first."

"Although the master said Xiao Qi was very happy, Xiao Qi won't leave the master and hide alone. In fact, you don't have to be too nervous. Those people probably came out of a shelter and shouldn't be too difficult for us."

Chu Guang glanced at it in surprise.

"Can you see that?"

Xiao Qi said.

"Well, not necessarily, but their electromagnetic rifles do look like the model of pre war weapons. Moreover, after they found our UAV, they didn't shoot down my UAV, but took the initiative to show kindness to us... If they came with hostility, they always felt that there was no need to do so much. What do you think, master?"

"Me? I don't know, but I usually don't place my hope on the kindness of others."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Guang weighed the EMP grenade in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket.

It's not clear how much this thing will do to power armor, but it's better to have it than not.

Even if you can only paralyze the other party's electronic equipment for two seconds, you can fight for two more seconds for yourself.

Chu Guang will control the negotiation distance within 3 meters.

In this way, even if an accident occurs, he can use the nitrogen power hammer in his hand to teach the opposite side a profound lesson.

……

The north gate of the outpost.

Looking at the four iron pimples coming from a distance, the players in the North Gate market showed their faces that they had never seen the world.

"I'm GIAO! What's that?"

"Is it the power armor on the official website!"

"Where did these NPCs come from?"

"Rational analysis, this game should have a hidden prosperity setting. When the prosperity reaches a certain level, it will attract wild NPCs to visit!"

"Their guns are so handsome... To be honest, I want to buy them!"

"The price is at least 100000 silver. Buy it."

"Gan!"

The autumn grass and autumn leaf sisters sitting in the market stall also noticed the situation outside the market.

Looking at the iron pimples coming towards the north gate of the four platforms, Qiu Ye blinked curiously.

"Sister, what's that? I think their armor is more beautiful than that of the manager."

"I don't know... It seems to be called power armor," qiucao nervously took her sister's hand and held her in his arms. "Don't stare at them."

Obviously, these people don't know the blue coats around them.

A group of strangers with guns suddenly appeared at the door. No matter what the situation, we can't assume that they came with goodwill.

Are you going to tell the patriarch?

Qiucao thought nervously.

Just then, a figure appeared at the north gate.

The manager with a long handle hammer on his back, surrounded by several blue coats, came out of the outpost base.

Looking at the man who came to this side and followed a marine next to Lu Yang, he couldn't help teasing in the communication channel.

"Did you see the hammer behind him? I've never seen such a strange weapon... Is it a weapon?"

"Shut up."

With a warning stare at his teammates, Lu Yang put his weapons behind his back, raised his index finger and clicked on the side of his helmet, and put away the mask covering his face to show his friendship.

"Are you the people of the shelter?"

"The manager of shelter 404, Chu Guang," said Chu Guang, stopping in front of the man and staring at him sharply, "who are you? Why are you here?"

"Lu Yang, an employee of the enterprise, works in the first development corps of the overseas business department of Yinyi group. We come from the Far East Coast and go to the west to look for something. We have no malice, but we happen to pass here."

Chu Guang has heard of the word "enterprise", which is said to be a large survivor stronghold on the east coast. Its predecessor is said to be No. 6 refuge, and others say it is No. 66 refuge. Their sphere of influence is very large. It is said to cover an entire province on the east coast.

However, due to its special expansion mode, the enterprise has very weak control over the "branches" within its sphere of influence. The assets truly controlled by the "enterprise" may be a survivor stronghold larger than boulder.

Many merchants who are clearly not enterprises, even those who are not from the east coast, also like to do business under the banner of enterprises.

As for Yinyi group, it is probably a branch of "enterprise". Maybe they just established it to achieve some purpose. Anyway, Chu Guang hasn't even heard of it.

The straight-line distance from the east coast to the river valley provinces is thousands of kilometers. If it is the actual distance, it will be further. It may be tens of thousands of kilometers.

At such a long distance, any news here may taste bad.

In short, no matter who they are loyal to, their equipment and strength can not be underestimated if they can walk from the east coast to the valley provinces!

Although he was curious about what the "enterprise" was going to look for in the west, Chu Guang knew that even if he asked, the man would not tell himself, so he did not venture to speak.

After staring at Lu Yang for a while, Chu Guang then asked.

"Is what you're looking for in Qingquan city?"

Luyang shook his head and said.

"Of course not. The valley provinces can only be regarded as the middle of the continent at most, and what we call the west is a more distant place than here."

After a pause, he looked at Chu Guang and continued.

"Open the skylight and tell the truth. Our large troops are stationed in the open land about 10 kilometers away from here. If we can, we don't want to stay here, but our pioneer has a little situation and can only come here for help."

Chu Guang: "what is the pioneer?"

"You can understand it as our means of transportation. Its predecessor was four sc-500 crawler transport platforms, but we slightly transformed them, connected them together, and added some modular facilities suitable for long-distance travel. As for what kind of..." Lu Yang didn't know how to describe it, so he could only roughly compare it with his hands, "in short, it's very big!"

"Crawler transport platform?"

By his general description, Chu Guang frowned, "can you be more specific? For example, length, width or tonnage..."

Luyang thought for a moment and said in a positive tone.

"If the tonnage is about 12000 tons!"

“？？？”

What?!

12000 tons?!

Chu Guang, who heard this number, was stunned on the spot.

If he remembers correctly, the Gustav train gun is only 1500 tons, right?

Even the crawler transport platform used to transport giant rockets such as Saturn 5 has a total weight of only 3000 tons and a total load of only 8000 tons

Twelve thousand tons!

Has this brought the cruiser to land?

Chu Guang didn't ask whether the 12000 tons was the net weight or the maximum load capacity. Anyway, no matter what it was, this number had exceeded his cognition.

It's hard to imagine how such a big guy "sailed" on the waste soil.

Anyway, it's definitely not burning oil.

After recovering from the shock, Chu Guang took a deep breath and looked forward to Lu Yang shaking his head.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Although there are some engineers in our shelter... What you said is obviously beyond their ability. I'm afraid I can't help you!"

Don't say it's beyond your ability.

For his small players, this tonnage of transportation can only be understood by game settings.

Chu Guang suddenly wondered what this thing looked like.

If he can, he wants to take a picture and post it online.

Seeing that the manager misunderstood his meaning, Lu Yang quickly waved his hand and explained.

"No, no, no, my friend, you misunderstood! We are not asking you for technical help. We have our own engineers and production tools. We know how to repair the damaged parts. But the problem is that we are short of manpower and the reserves of materials and energy are almost at the bottom."

To sum up, is there a shortage of people, mines and electricity?

But I don't need anything!

Chu Guang looked at him and asked cautiously.

"So what's your proposal?"

Lu Yang said in a sincere tone: "we hope you can lend us some people to help us collect resources available nearby. In addition, we also need a guide who is familiar with the terrain in this area! We know where to find what we need! Of course, we won't let you help us in vain, and we will pay."

Hearing the word "reward", Chu Guang was finally interested in his topic.

And listen to him, they seem to know where to find fuel for nuclear fusion?

That's a good thing!

A happy smile appeared on his face, and Chu Guang stretched out his right hand.

"Of course, my friend, helping others is the most noble virtue!"

"But the snow seems to be falling harder and harder. If it's convenient, please come in with me."
