Chapter 354 - "Mountain" in the Sandstorm
"Hello? I'm Adrian!"
The first-level fire magician answered the call.
“Hey, this is Rossi, what’s wrong with you, why are you just getting connected now?”
The voice of the liaison officer of Team 04 was full of suspicion, as if these unscrupulous people were planning again. What a major rebellion.
"Ah! I was washing my hands in the toilet, and I just picked up my phone now."
Adrian Benjamin continued to tell lies with his eyes open.
“Listen, there is a new situation at your assessment point. The mutant BF-1334 that originally occupied there was expelled by another group of mutants SS-0792. I will send you the relevant information now. ,look After you finish, please reply to me immediately. Do you understand? No delay!"
Liaison Officer Rossi spoke very quickly. It seems that the accidental destruction of Team 07 will not bring any good results to the corresponding liaison officer. , which greatly touched him.
Before, I had been indifferent, but at this moment, I immediately issued a reminder as soon as there was any disturbance. They were completely different from each other.
"Understood!"
As soon as Adrian finished speaking, his phone made another short electronic beep. He glanced at the floating window and Liaison Officer Rossi sent a document.
After ending the call, he immediately shared the file with other members of Team 04, and everyone updated the latest intelligence information together.
Oceania is indeed a paradise for mutants. The mutants here have evolved more completely and have a stable social structure. In a sense, as long as they can survive, mutation is benign and beneficial.
The mutant number BF-1334 is a brood-type carnivorous bee colony that occupies the crater of an extinct volcano and builds its own nest in the lava holes and gaps left after the cold. It relies on capturing other mutants and Cultivate a special kind of moss as a food source. The latter has a higher nutritional level and is specially eaten by the female insects responsible for reproduction. It has certain medicinal and economic value. After breaking this type of nest, you need to specially collect this kind of moss. , which is a lot of extra money.
The current mutant number SS-0792 of Magpie Nest Jiuzhan is a group of scorpion-shaped guys with ten legs. The adult body is as big as a large truck. The carapace on the body is extremely tough, enough to withstand close range fire from small weapons. The carapace There is also an extra layer of hard sand shell attached to the surface that is mixed with its saliva and sand. Its strength is comparable to high-grade cement, and even a grenade cannot easily explode it.
Although the scorpion mutant SS-0792 forcibly occupied the nest of the bee mutant BF-1334, it did not kill the female insects. The female insects in the latter group were among the few remaining workers. Under cover, fled in panic , hid in a sand dune ten kilometers away, and built a temporary nest. The entire group was seriously injured, but as long as the mother worms had enough food, they could quickly restore the group's number and seek help from the scorpion mutant SS-0792. Give this justice.
Now that Team 04 wants to seize the extinct volcano crater that both parties are interested in, it is inevitable that they will have to face harassment and attacks from both parties.
After reading the information, Adrian Benjamin, a first-level fire magician, called back Rossi’s liaison officer’s communication number as promised.
This liaison officer has a bad temper, harsh words, and does not give a good face, but so far, he has not caused any trouble to Team 04. As long as official business is done, there should be no big problems.
"Hey, Liaison Officer Rossi, I'm Adrian!"
Liaison Officer Rossi couldn't wait to ask: "Have you finished reading? Let's talk about your tactics!"
Although He had been mentally prepared, but he still choked hard when his lungs were pushed into his lungs. Adrian said with a wry smile: "Uh! Not yet, we need to Reconnaissance first..."
The intelligence information has just been obtained. In such a short period of time, how can they formulate a response plan on the spot? They are humans, not gods, and they cannot be so efficient at all, let alone 04 The team is all composed of combat personnel, but there is no one with staff work experience or relevant experience.
"What? You haven't decided on a plan yet, how to fight next, don't you have any idea? Really, you are so unprofessional!"
After finally catching it once, Rosie started to crackle on the spot.
Adrian was on speakerphone, and his voice was amplified so that everyone in the car could hear him clearly.
"Old man, what are you talking about? If you can do it, go ahead? If not, shut up!"
The big black man who was locked in the toilet roared angrily and hit him hard. Open the door, this time it is not only the truth, but also what everyone is saying.
It looked like he wanted to rush out, take out the Rossi liaison officer from Adrian's cell phone, and hammer it on the ground eight hundred times to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Rossi asked angrily: "Who, who is talking?"
He heard that annoying voice again!
"It's Apu. He wants to duel with you. Why don't you turn around and I can make arrangements for you two?"
This time, Adrian didn't let the big black man carry him around. , once, twice or three times, no matter how hard he could come back, he was kept in a trap, so he simply used the trick to defeat this bad-tempered liaison officer.
“……”
Rosie's broken voice stopped suddenly like a big cock being pinched by the neck.
What kind of duel?
He is just an ordinary person, not even an ability user. How can he duel with a second-level lightning warrior?
I am afraid that in just a blink of an eye, I will be left with only a piece of charcoal in this world!
Seeing that the plan was successful, Adrian asked tentatively: "Hey, hello, Liaison Officer Rossi, are you still there?"
"I, am I here?"
There was a trace of panic in Rossi's voice. He forced himself to calm down and emboldened himself, and said, "You are limited to one hour to put forward the battle plan... eh, Hand it over...to..."
Then the call was suddenly interrupted.
The fire magician was stunned and immediately called back, but he still couldn't get through. The signal strength also dropped rapidly. In the blink of an eye, only the lowest bar was left.
“The weather outside has changed!”
Chen Fei's voice came from the driver's seat, and the mobile base vehicle simply stopped on the top of a sand dune, with an excellent view of the environment.
Everyone hurriedly looked out the car window, and the originally clear blue sky turned into a yellowish gray at some point.
Directly in front of the car, a huge sandstorm advanced like a city wall with unstoppable momentum. In the blink of an eye, it swallowed up the extinct volcano on the desert horizon and headed straight for the mobile base vehicle where Team 04 was located. Come.
Dazzling electric lights flickered from time to time in the dust flying all over the sky, and there was a faint muffled sound like rolling thunder.
There will be no torrential downpours, just howling winds and flying sand and rocks.
"It's a sandstorm!"
Adrian glanced at it and his face became a little unsightly.
Although sandstorms are the most common severe weather changes in the desert, he did not expect that he would be hit head-on as soon as he arrived near the assessment point.
“The signal is cut off!”
Maori Meixin, who was watching movies online, pouted.
B-level ice superpower Susiena Jean Peart glanced at her phone and said, "Mine is broken too!"
Others looked at their phones one after another, and almost all of them were broken. Got the net.
It seems that sandstorms with strong charge fluctuations have caused serious interference to communication networks.
"Beep!"
Misfortune never comes singly. The radiation counter that detects the radiation dose outside the car body sounded an alarm. The amount of radiation outside suddenly increased, approaching the safety threshold.
The sandstorm advanced at an extremely fast speed. In just a blink of an eye, it was in front of the mobile base vehicle. Outside the front windshield of the driver's seat, the overwhelming rolling dust waves swallowed up the entire world.
"Close the internal and external ventilation systems."
Chen Fei gave the order well-prepared. There was a slight sound from everywhere in the car body, and the ventilation system with the filter device stopped operating. The spacious car body There are also compressed air, carbon dioxide/oxygen replacement device and oxygen generator inside, as well as more than a dozen potted plants to ensure a long-term closed state.
The sandstorm swallowed up the entire mobile base vehicle at once. The strong wind roared outside the vehicle, causing the vehicle body to shake slightly. Countless sand and stones continuously hit the armor layer and the windows, making a loud sound. There was a crackling sound, and the light outside quickly dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was almost dark.
Not long after the ventilation system was turned off, the alarm sound of the radiation counter turned into a long sound, which was also mixed with a rough rhythm sound like rolling stones, which meant that the radiation value outside the car reached the safety threshold. Above, enough to pose a fatal threat to the human body.
The car body and windows blocked the ubiquitous nuclear radiation, making the car still very safe. The environmental radiation value was far below the safety threshold and was almost no different from the ordinary natural environment.
“Boom!~”
The vehicle body shook suddenly, as if something big hit the mobile base vehicle. Everyone quickly grabbed the fixed objects around them and barely managed to stabilize themselves. body shape.
“What?”
Adrian only noticed that a certain car window suddenly darkened, and then returned to normal.
"A mutant hit the car body!"
Chen Fei, who kept the man and car intact, noticed it immediately.
Boom...boom...boom...
The car began to vibrate rhythmically again.
Kitley, the A-level metal superpower, asked with some surprise: "What's going on again?"
"There's a big guy passing by!"
Even a sandstorm cannot stop the detection equipment on the mobile base vehicle.
A behemoth as big as the extinct volcano at the Team 04 assessment point passed right next to the mobile base vehicle. The outline of the body scanned by the radar was quite scary.
Looking out the car window, you can faintly see a huge creature walking leisurely and leisurely amidst the flying sand and rocks in the sky.
“So big!”
Maori Meixin, who rushed to the car window, saw part of the big guy's figure like a peeper. The extreme fear from deep in her heart suddenly emerged, scaring her little face pale and her mouth open. But he couldn't make any sound.
Chen Fei suggested with itchy hands: "How about using 152 to fire this big guy?"
I wonder if the 152 mm caliber anti-explosive bomb fired by the rail gun will I won't beat this big guy into a whimpering monster who can cry for half an hour.
“No!”
A horrified protest immediately erupted in the carriage.
Good guy, you are playing so big!
We are not afraid that in the next moment, in addition to Team 07, there will be another Team 04 that will be wiped out on the spot. If a truly hill-like monster were stepped on, the entire mobile base vehicle would most likely turn into a discus.
