Wasteland, North Anford area, Early Spring Town.
Genava and Zeng Duo did not rashly advance, but used various sensing equipment and electromagnetic weapons to eliminate the enemies hiding in the town's houses one by one.
The projectiles launched by electromagnetic force had extremely strong penetrating power, causing many "First City" garrison soldiers to lose their lives or suffer heavy injuries even though they were in "safe places" protected by thick walls.
Han Wanghuo seized this opportunity, arrived at the main entrance area of Early Spring Town, and climbed onto the khaki tank.
After pushing the corpse aside, he entered the tank and sat in the driver's seat.
For this weapon and equipment, which had been crowned the "King of Land Warfare" for a long time in the Old World, this was Han Wanghuo's first time touching it.
When he was the sheriff and town guard captain in Redstone Town, he had indeed seen many arms dealers and their smuggled goods, but this did not include tanks.
With the harsh road conditions and few railways in the graylands, tanks were not a convenient item to transport and were not suitable for smuggling.
Transactions involving it often took place in adjacent areas, with one side driving over and the other driving back.
Although he had never seen a tank, especially this kind produced by "First City," Han Wanghuo was not at all timid. He studied it for a while, recalled it for a moment, and began to get started.
--On the way from near the Red River to Early Spring Town, Genava used projections to show him and Zeng Duo videos such as "How to Drive a Tank" in response to the garrison's tanks, strictly abiding by Jiang Baimian's instructions to "not fight unprepared battles."
And Genava's database had a lot of similar weapon usage data and related skills. After all, his former position was the mayor of Tarnan and the captain of the intelligent robot guard, and a large part of his work was to maintain law and order, suppress bandits, and resist foreign enemies.
Before long, the khaki tank made a sound.
As the tracks moved, it slowly turned its head, aiming the cannon at the main entrance of Early Spring Town.
Boom!
The thick wooden gate immediately fell apart.
Han Wanghuo drove the tank into Early Spring Town.
Under Genava's command, he methodically loaded shells and bombarded several enemies that electromagnetic weapons could not reach.
Boom! Boom!
Buildings collapsed one after another, and only a few enemies barely escaped.
They lost the courage to resist and scattered towards the center of the town, using obstacles to conceal themselves.
Genava and Zeng Duo took turns changing ammunition, sometimes suppressing with firepower, sometimes trying to snipe, not allowing the "First City" soldiers in the center of the town to organize an effective counterattack and start the remaining two armored vehicles.
As the khaki tank approached, the remaining defenders retreated into a seemingly sturdy reinforced concrete building.
This was the school in Early Spring Town and also the refuge they had carefully built.
At the bottom of that building, there was an air-raid shelter that the townspeople had spent decades building.
At this time, Zeng Duo discovered that the entrance area of the air-raid shelter had been used by the "First City" soldiers to build many permanent fortifications over the past few months.
"Detection result: there are a large number of people inside, which should include the townspeople of Early Spring Town." Genava issued a slightly synthetic male baritone.
In this way, Han Wanghuo could not use the tank to directly bombard the entrance.
Even if he was very lucky and the shell successfully flew inside, it was not necessarily the "First City" garrison that was killed, and there was a high probability that it was the townspeople of Early Spring Town.
For Han Wanghuo, whose purpose was to rescue these people, he obviously could not do the opposite.
He stopped the tank, got out, set up his rifle, and looked for an opportunity to snipe.
He and Zeng Duo were not anxious because the current situation was still within their expectations.
With Zeng Duo, a townsperson of Early Spring Town, how could the "Old Task Force" not know about the existence of the air-raid shelter and not consider the situation where the garrison and the townspeople had all entered it?
When they separated, Jiang Baimian gave most of the powerful anesthetic gas produced by "Pangu Biology" that she carried to Genava.
--Of course, the anesthetic gas in her electric eel-type biological prosthetic limb needed to be replenished after use. When venturing out, in many scenarios, the effect of anesthetic gas was greater than that of exoskeleton devices, so she brought a lot.
When Genava was "making" anesthetic bullets, Zeng Duo, wearing a military exoskeleton device, paid close attention to the entrance and exit area of the air-raid shelter.
She didn't want the "First City" garrison to launch a counterattack during this opportunity.
Of course, she did not continue to suppress with firepower, but occasionally fired a few shots at that place and launched a grenade. After all, they only had one vehicle, and the weapons and ammunition they carried were limited and could not withstand too much waste.
Just at this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from a simple building that Genava and Zeng Duo had confirmed was empty.
That figure rapidly outlined itself in the air, wearing a set of thin armor covered with scales on its body.
Under the dim afterglow of the setting sun, those scales flickered with different colors.
This was the "Chameleon" series of biomimetic intelligent armor produced by "Pangu Biology"!
Bang!
As soon as the figure appeared, it pulled the trigger on Han Wanghuo, who was facing sideways and aiming at the entrance of the air-raid shelter.
He was holding a Gauss rifle.
Metal projectiles wrapped in silver-white electricity were fired.
Almost as soon as this figure appeared, Zeng Duo noticed it with the help of the "Integrated Early Warning System."
She was stunned for a moment, took a big leap, and pounced towards Han Wanghuo.
Bang!
Han Wanghuo was knocked down onto the tank by Zeng Duo, and the metal projectile passed through the shoulder armor of the military exoskeleton device and flew into the distance.
Zeng Duo was almost hit directly.
At this time, Genava's grenade launcher had already turned around.
Boom!
The figure wearing the biomimetic intelligent armor did not have time to dodge and was directly engulfed by the blooming fire.
But he was not dead, not even seriously injured. The "Chameleon" series of biomimetic intelligent armor provided him with excellent protection.
What he mainly lost was the Gauss rifle - it was blown up.
The next second, a red laser shot out from Genava's palm, landed on the figure's body, directly penetrated the scales, and pierced into the internal organs.
The figure swayed a few times and finally fell down.
"Pay more attention to the surroundings," Genava instructed, and then busied himself with "making" anesthetic bullets.
Zeng Duo jumped up and replied:
"Okay."
She took two breaths and continued to monitor the entrance and exit area of the air-raid shelter, while increasing her attention to the nearby buildings.
Han Wanghuo quickly got up, picked up his rifle, and touched the pain where he had been hit by the metal exoskeleton.
He looked at Zeng Duo and frowned, saying:
"Why did you save me?
"Don't you know that it's very dangerous and easy to injure yourself or even die?"
Zeng Duo didn't quite understand why Han Wanghuo would have such a reaction and stammered:
"I thought, I thought you were here to help me, this risk should be borne by me, and, anyway, I won't live long, and my heart will be yours when I die..."
Han Wanghuo's eyes flashed, and he blurted out:
"Do you never consider yourself when you do things?"
He paused and added:
"Live well. If you die now, I don't have the equipment to store your heart.
"Do you want me to work so hard for so long but not get paid? Do you want to drag me down to die with you?"
Saying that, he turned his body and aimed at the entrance and exit area of the air-raid shelter again.
Zeng Duo closed her mouth, feeling slightly puzzled while also admitting that what Han Wanghuo said made some sense.
Genava next to him comforted the two:
"I can modify the module a little and make a temporary cryogenic box, but it lacks the corresponding preservation fluid."
Han Wanghuo did not take up this topic and urged:
"Hurry up and make the anesthetic bullets."
…………
First City, Antana Street, Green Clock Store.
Shang Jianyao, wearing a city defense force uniform, stood guard at the door, watching the wall clock ticking second by second.
After ten minutes or so, a burst of footsteps came, accompanied by noisy voices.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the clock store was knocked.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was very loud, very rapid, and it seemed that if no one responded, the knocker would kick it open.
Shang Jianyao opened the door and saw a squad of city defense soldiers.
Seeing that the person inside was also wearing the same uniform, they were obviously stunned.
Shang Jianyao laughed, while taking out the documents and paperwork given by General Focus, and said:
"You see:
"I'm wearing the same military uniform as you;
"And I have documents and paperwork;
"So..."
The city defense soldiers suddenly realized and asked in a jumble:
"Are you on a secret mission?"
"Is there a problem here?"
"Have you found any useful clues?"
"We'll pretend we didn't see anything?"
"What secret mission allows you to wear a uniform?"
While these soldiers were asking questions, in the deep twilight, the iron-black helicopter in the high sky turned towards this side.
The sound of the propellers 'dada dada' grew from far to near, gradually becoming louder, bringing bursts of strong wind.
