Chapter 364 Firefight
Just like it had been rehearsed countless times, when the reconnaissance team of the training team issued a warning, the Atlas soldiers near the cordon responded immediately.
An additional sensor protruded from the back of their combat exoskeleton and was pointed in the direction of the crowd. At the same time, a hidden point between the cordon and the outpost was also opened, and a large number of flight sensors were installed. The component's 'worker bees' flew out.
The same sensors as those on the Atlas soldiers are also installed on the pylons below these flying worker bees.
When they flew above the refugee flow at a certain distance, all the sensors on the field began to form a network and completely enveloped this group of refugees.
"The danger detection network has been established, start detecting the source of danger!"
Following the order of a certain ground commander, the hive core of Camp No. 5 allocated part of its computing power to start supporting the 'danger detection network' '.
This explosion-proof early warning device, which relies on a large number of sensors, can collect biological information including heartbeat and respiratory rate within the network coverage area, and identify devices suspected of explosives.
After the Atlas search team encountered a suicide bomb attack for the first time, Amber asked the Equipment Research and Development Center to start developing this set of equipment.
Because he knows that whether it is a battle on Para IV or a battle in the more distant future, as long as there are civilians in the war zone who are difficult to identify units, incidents similar to suicide bomb attacks will not happen. few.
Therefore, although this system is an emergency product, it does not mean that it will not be used in the future.
If it doesn't work, you can repackage it and sell it to a third party. Anyway, such things are common in the Empire and the Federation
Soon, with the support of the computing power of the Hive Core, Danger The detection network found many suspicious targets in this wave of refugees within the range, and shared them on the tactical visor of each soldier through the Atlas internal data link.
Looking at the multiple suspicious targets highlighted in red on the HUD, Orm, the platoon leader responsible for maintaining order near the cordon, also issued instructions on the command terminal to continue the identification. .
Several drones quickly lowered their altitude and came to the sky above these suspicious targets. While emitting a visible light indicator line to mark the targets, a sweet female voice also came from the speakers on the drones:
"Hello civilians, according to the "Refugee Accommodation Camp Management Regulations", you are being randomly checked for dangerous goods. Please take off your coat and raise your hands."
There is no need for a drone to issue a second warning, and the surrounding refugees They immediately dispersed, leaving only a few helpless suspicious targets below the drone.
Except for the two 'chess pieces' controlled by the Hanged Man, the other suspicious targets were very confused at this time. They didn't know what they had done, and they became so-called 'suspicious targets'. '.
However, after these people reacted, they still acted as normal people would do. They took off their tattered coats and raised their hands at the same time.
The drone quickly stopped 'marking' them, and soon there were only two marked targets left on the field. At this time, they still took off their coats to prove their innocence. , allowing the surrounding Atlas soldiers to guess their identities.
Seeing the refugees around him running away, he might really be captured alive if he didn't take action, and thinking that his family's lives were still controlled by the Hanged Man, one of the 'chess pieces' gritted his teeth and planned to move towards The Atlas soldiers who were evacuating refugees nearby rushed over.
But it was obvious that he overestimated his athletic ability and underestimated the reaction speed of the worker bees.
Before he even took the first step, just turning around and exerting force, the non-lethal weapon launcher mounted under the drone fired two electric shock needle bullets and pierced him. The burst of electric current swept through his body in an instant. He was unable to make any reaction before being electrocuted and fell to the ground, twitching continuously.
Where the other ‘chess piece’ is located, the same scene is also playing out.
After the two fell to the ground, the drone in the air continued to lower its altitude and stretched out a robotic arm to take off the other person's coat.
When the explosives tied to the two men appeared in front of everyone, the surrounding refugees screamed and crowded further away in fear.
The Hanged Man behind the slope saw this scene and finally gave up the plan of remote detonation because he was worried that the other party would find his position based on the detonation signal.
Although half of the mission has been failed, it does not mean that there is no chance to continue. If I use the 'last resort',
Thinking of this, the Hanged Man was in the sky after a moment. After the battle, they finally made a decision that the federal leaders regretted greatly afterwards.
The two mind-controlled 'puppet' hidden in the imperial soldiers suddenly pushed aside the people around them and rushed in the same direction.
It is extremely fast, changing its appearance from the walking zombie before, and instead looks like a sprint champion on the field.
In this direction, a wheeled armored vehicle of the Federation Army was parked near the Imperial troops. The soldiers on it were pointing at the troops, and jeered from time to time. When they saw the two imperial soldiers who suddenly rushed out, they thought they couldn't bear the ridicule and planned to rush over and get angry.
A federal soldier walked forward laughing in the eyes of his teammates. He moved the power glove twice and made a "sizzling" motor operation sound, and then clenched his fist into a fist. .
Obviously, this federal soldier planned to give these two defeated soldiers a show of shame.
Then
"Boom!"
The power of military high explosives caused the federal soldier and the rushing puppet to be blown to pieces.
His teammates didn’t realize what had happened until they were covered in pieces of meat and equipment. They immediately raised their guns and aimed at another figure who had already rushed in front of them, but it was still a step too late. .
“Boom!”
Another explosion sounded, this time more powerful, and the smoke and dust even completely covered the wheeled armored vehicle next to it.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, one side of the wheel battle had been completely blackened by the explosion. There were also a large number of debris scattered on the ground, and no specific damage could be seen.
As for the federal soldiers around the battle, they had disappeared in the two explosions.
The refugees and imperial troops near the warning area exploded instantly. Everyone cried and rushed towards the refugee camp, hoping to seek asylum.
Seeing this scene, Ram Head Platoon Leader Orm frowned and was forced to release a large number of 'worker bees' originally used to deal with emergencies.
Half of the worker bees equipped with flying kits quickly flew to the top of the crowd. While giving guidance through the loudspeaker, the high-pressure gas bottles carried below also began to spray some kind of forced sedation gas on the crowd like spraying pesticides.
As if with the cooperation of a large number of shepherd dogs, the crowd that was originally running around was regrouped and began to move to the designated location in an orderly manner.
However, one wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.
Before Orm could turn around to negotiate with the federal soldiers near the cordon, he saw that the upper body of the soldier standing at the front was broken in an instant, followed by the sound of gunshots. .
But this was just the beginning. What followed was several consecutive shots. While two federal soldiers were killed and one injured, several bullet holes were also punched in the side of the armored vehicle behind them.
"It's broken! Everyone take cover!"
Om's alarm bell suddenly blared. He yelled in the channel while running towards the back of the nearest vehicle.
At the same time, the unbelievable voice of the teaching team’s investigation team also came from the communication channel:
“Fuck, the federal psychic agents are opening fire on their own people?! "
"He wants to force a conflict!" Tailak, who had been listening quietly in the communication channel, said at this moment.
But even if he didn't say anything, the Atlas soldiers near the cordon hid behind the vehicle or mobile bunker as quickly as possible.
Because on their tactical visors, the federal main battle tank in the distance was marked as 'purple high-risk unit', and the electromagnetic reconnection cannon in the middle of the turret had flashed blue.
Sharp beeps and tactical warnings also came from their earphones simultaneously.
"Warning, a strong magnetic field response has been detected, and it is determined to be an electromagnetic reconnection cannon shot. Be careful to avoid it!"
