Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 73 Ambush and Killing (Part 3) (K)

"The bird's eye is in place."

"The twinkling star is in place."

"The shovel is in place."

"All ready! Positioned for impact!"

".'Fighter' has arrived at the reserved location."

And finally, the voice of Commander Zhuniao was heard in the communication channel.

"We are ready, but 'Nandou' I must ask you again, are you sure you want to be the main attacker? Even though Dennis is not good at close combat, he is a 'third-level unit' after all. Are you sure?"

In a long-abandoned and dilapidated factory in Gaoge District, Song Shi exhaled slowly.

He understood the other party's concerns.

"Unit level" is a classification rule that is not very rigorous, but still has certain reference value.

Its earliest origin is difficult to investigate, but in the evolution and improvement over the years, it can be simply summarized as follows:

First-level units, from ordinary people with a small number of implants to the most common thugs on the street with one or two weapons and crude prostheses, and even ordinary soldiers filling in the line, can all be classified into this category - this is true for units at each level, and the span between them is huge.

Second-level units, special mobile armed police of the Security Bureau, mercenaries with a little fame on the streets, front-line armed forces members of giant companies - Emerald Pharmaceuticals' [Ice Type] troops stationed at the Palose branch, every member is a second-level unit, and Milton is also considered to be at this level.

The third-level units are the "elite" in the conventional sense, including the elite agents of the Security Bureau, the five senior executive specialists of Emerald Pharmaceuticals stationed in Palose, the captain and deputy captain of the [Ice Type] force, and the 'Flash Star' and 'Fighter' of the First Action Group of the Enlightener Palose.

If compared with machines, the danger of each of them is equivalent to that of a heavy riot mecha equipped with a complete arsenal and various modules, which can destroy a conventional stronghold by one person - not everyone is good at physical destruction, but physical destruction is the most intuitive manifestation of danger.

As for the fourth-level units, at least as far as Zhuniao said, there is only Gaboy in the entire Palose. Going back to a year ago, the former commander of the Palose Enlightener, Cornelia Campbell, was also at this level, but she had died in the siege of Gaboy and the [Ice] troops.

As for the fifth-level units.

Perhaps because he was worried that this "Nan Dou" had a poor background, and although he had the ability, he did not have enough knowledge in this area, when "Shan Xing" was doing science popularization not long ago, he introduced it in a tone with a little awe:

"Nandou, let me put it this way. Even in most corporate wars, companies will not - at least on the surface, they will not deploy level 5 units into the battlefield. Once level 5 units enter the battlefield, the situation is likely to become uncontrollable, causing losses far beyond expectations. Those inhuman guys may destroy half of the city!"

"Some of the scariest ones even require the use of 'space-based weapons' to kill them!"

At that time, Song Shi was thinking that it was really hard to say.

Your previous self can also be called a "level five unit" or a "level five and a half unit."

At least for me at that time, whether it was the "orbital electromagnetic cannon group" of the [Zenith Center] or the "solar radiation focusing array" of [Fubo Energy], they were indeed threatening, but not too deadly.

"——Jiniao, why are you still asking such questions at this time?"

Song Shi smiled softly, and before the other party could speak, he said, "Don't worry, I'm not looking for death. You just take care of the other people that Dennis brought here, and remember to keep an eye on them, don't let them run away."

Inside the communication headset pressed into the cochlea, the voice of the pearl bird paused for a few seconds: "Okay, then according to the plan, Quemu will stay here to assist you, we will be responsible for dividing the battlefield and delaying the others. If Dennis brings few people, I will let 'Impact' come back first, you here-"

[Well, I really don't want to disturb your interest. ]

The cyber electronic warfare operator "Sparkling Star" of the Enlightened One's First Action Group rang out with her voice clearly blurred.

【But you two, our guests have arrived. 】

Song Shi raised his head.

A pale white light suddenly rose from the pitch-black sky. It quickly rose to its apex and exploded. In an instant, the whole world was as bright as day.

In the vast light from the "tracer flares", hundreds of meters in the air, the shuttle's aerodynamic outline was clearly revealed, the Emerald Pharmaceuticals trademark painted on the outer armor glowed slightly, and the entire shuttle sped towards the abandoned factory far below.

【Impact!】

"No need to remind! Hey! Try this big thing!"

Above the ground, a piercing scream suddenly rose up, and before the scream, a flame shot up into the sky! It dragged out a dazzling line of fire! It shot out towards the shuttle above!

No, more than one!
In the blink of an eye, three more flames rose from the ground and hit the sky!
Almost at the same time, several dazzling golden light beams suddenly appeared on the outside of the transport shuttle, cutting through the night sky like a thin thread threading a needle, trying to intercept the fire - it succeeded, but only three times.

--boom!

The next moment, a bright orange-red fireball exploded.

The shuttle, emitting billowing black smoke, was tilted. Large pieces of debris soaked in magma flew everywhere, like exploding fireworks, sliding in the air and causing a red, burning rain.

"Hahaha! 'Qugong D-5' anti-aircraft rocket! This is a good thing left by Nanyu Heavy Industry! How can you defend against it?! I——" [Attack! Don't stand there! Pay attention to the first wave of attacks! People are coming down! ]

That's right.

Except for one unlucky guy who made a mistake in landing posture, the eight armed security guards in the cabin jumped down without hesitation at the moment before the entire shuttle exploded, pulled open the cushion, and landed directly from more than 100 meters in the air!

In mid-air, they raised their weapons and, with the assistance of the intelligent aiming of the linked prosthesis, fired wildly at the place where the anti-aircraft rocket launcher had just been fired!
This abandoned machinery manufacturing factory is located in a remote area, and even scavengers rarely come here. Among the rusty broken fingers and broken bones, there are weeds growing everywhere. Harold threw away the rocket launcher in an instant and rushed out - then, accompanied by a series of roars of fire, even the ground where he had just ambushed was flattened.

"Fighter!"

The next moment, a burly figure nearly two meters tall, covered in steel armor, smashed through the concrete wall, swung an electric halberd in his hand that flashed indigo light, and charged towards the eight armed security guards!
"Fighter, Impact, Shovel. With this configuration, I'm afraid Flash Star is coming too."

The burning shuttle slowly fell to the ground. Amid the loud noise and blazing flames caused by the secondary explosion, a low murmur sounded from mid-air.

A silver humanoid body with a streamlined outline stood quietly in mid-air, its surface undulating with flowing light, as if it were breathing.

Six suspended spheres with intricate patterns surround it like a school of friendly fish.

Produced by the giant company [Fubo Energy], it is equipped with many modules such as the "Light Arrow" floating gun group, vector nozzle, auxiliary propulsion wing, "Confessional Room" information processing terminal, anti-gravity engine, etc. The initial release price of the full version is 4.9 million credit points.

——Exoskeleton armor·【Light cone】.

Looking at the information constantly pouring out on the display, Dennis, covered by the exoskeleton helmet, was silent for a moment.

In the communication channel, Shanxing's voice suddenly became louder.

【Attention! He wants to escape! 】

The words haven't finished yet.

In mid-air, the exoskeleton armor suddenly pulled upwards, turned the vector nozzle without hesitation, and was about to escape into the distance!
Then, a dazzling phosphorescent light rose from the horizon, drawing a faint silver line that instantly pierced through most of the sky!

That was the roar of the "Sparrow's Eye" weapon, a heavy electromagnetic sniper rifle named [Great War].

——But at the critical moment, the four vector nozzles roared violently, and Dennis actually twisted his body in the air to evade, and managed to avoid the shot that was several times the speed of sound!
In other words, it avoided the "energy core" originally located in the chest, but only the outer shoulder armor and auxiliary propulsion wing on the right side were smashed into pieces!
But with the help of the remaining vector nozzles and auxiliary propulsion wings, and the performance of the "light cone", it can still fly for at least a short period of time.

"Damn, Sparrow Eye is here too."

But the moment Dennis felt the propulsion wing break, his heart sank.

As a senior executive of Palose, he knew clearly what the psychic skills of the sniper "Quemu" were.

——Psionic Skill: [Traction].

It can pull oneself and others to a certain extent, just like an invisible thread tying the wrists of both parties and restricting them to a certain area - using the shot just now as a medium, one has already triggered "traction".

Although this restraint would not last long given the opponent's first-ring realm, he had lost the best opportunity to leave. Facing a sniper of "Quemu"'s level and that [Giant War], he would be a sitting duck if he continued to stay in the air.

A large amount of information rapidly poured in from the exoskeleton armor's reconnaissance system, and was then integrated into the display field of view under the action of the "confessional" processing center, giving rise to prompts for combat analysis.

Dennis made the decision without hesitation.

He suddenly fell from the air and dived towards the ground in the direction of Quemu!

——Take the hostages first, then find a way to escape!

This moment.

"Five minutes, Namdoo."

Quemu's voice sounded: "According to the commander's analysis, this is the 'window time' before Emerald Pharmaceuticals realizes something is wrong. I..."

"enough."

He casually pulled the last shot of "military stimulant" out of his neck and threw it away. He could see four or five empty syringes of different styles on the ground.

Song Shi stretched his body for the last time, and the red-gold flames began to surge. He slowly exhaled a burning breath: "We have both intelligence and location. If this still makes the situation ugly, what qualifications do I have to look for you?"

"Give me three minutes."

The next moment.

Someone holding a steel crow with a cold glow jumped out of the empty floor amidst the raging red flames and slashed at the exoskeleton armor that was speeding towards them!

"--Come!"
