Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 267 Level , Level

"So, you didn't actually receive a new appointment, did you?"

Outside the 011 base, at the dining table, Chen Jian faced Jin Zhong and asked in a relatively gentle tone.

"Yes, I haven't received any appointment from the Saint Zhang yet."

“He did explain it to me in a private capacity, though.”

"What he meant was that the Guards Brigade that I am currently leading is still carrying out its mission and has important cooperation with you."

"If we reorganize now, it may have an adverse impact on the execution of subsequent tasks."

"So, he decided to temporarily keep the Fourth Brigade's organization unchanged, which is also for the sake of cooperation between the two sides."

Jin Zhong's voice was calm, but Chen Jian could see obvious doubt in his eyes.

Obviously, although he was not surprised by Zhang Tao's reorganization, he was still somewhat puzzled by the decision to ignore the 4th Brigade.

Saying "for the sake of cooperation" is just an excuse that can be seen through at a glance. If that's the case, and there are many organizations cooperating with the Chinese Army, does that mean Zhang Tao has to suspend all his reform actions?

Obviously, this is not the case.

There is only one answer.

Whatever the reason, the 4th Brigade had been excluded.

Jin Zhong has been excluded.

Looking at Jin Zhong's face, Chen Jian shook his head slightly.

In fact, even he himself did not expect that the opportunity he had been waiting for would come so soon.

Originally, he was still one step away from incorporating Jin Zhong's Guards Brigade.

Although it is not far, it is actually not that easy to take this step.

But now, Zhang Tao's drastic reform actions have given Jin Zhong a hard push.

No matter how he behaves in front of her, behind her back, he will definitely think about the meaning of this "exclusion".

As long as he has this idea, the rift between him, Zhang Tao and the Mechanicus will become deeper and deeper.

Thinking of this, Chen Jian asked:
"Do you believe it yourself?"

After the words fell, Jin Zhong on the opposite side fell silent.

After a long while, he finally answered:

"I do not believe."

"But I can only choose to believe him."

".Too."

Chen Jian was neither anxious nor impatient. He had no intention of convincing Jin Zhong on the spot.

Calling him here and raising this issue with him was just to let him prepare mentally in advance.

Chen Jian took a sip of the sweet water in the cup. This stuff was made from the carbon dioxide produced by the life support system and tasted like soda water with a little sugar added.

Although it's a bit tasteless, it barely makes up for the regret of not being able to drink carbonated drinks in this world.

Exhaling lightly, Chen Jian continued:

"You don't really have much choice. All you can do is go with the flow."

"But I still hope you can think clearly about one question."

"If what Zhang Tao wants to do is completely contrary to your expectations, then what can you get?"

After saying this, the originally silent Jin Zhong fell into complete confusion.

He could feel that what Chen Jian said was not as simple as it sounded.

“What if it goes against my expectations?”
What are my expectations?
My expectation is that he can reorganize the Mechanicus in the right way, safeguard the faith of the Most Holy Trinity, and live up to the believers and the people under the protection of the Most Holy Trinity.

But what if he can't do it, or doesn't want to do it at all?
Jin Zhong looked up at Chen Jian, opened his mouth several times, but finally said nothing.

This question will not be answered so easily.

He sighed, picked up the cup and drank it all.

The slightly spicy taste made him cough. When he put the cup down again, Chen Jian had already stood up.

"Anyway, think about it carefully."

"Of course, you don't have to make a decision right away."

"Let's see more and do more first. By the way, your team has almost finished resting. Are you ready to start the next mission?"

"We are always prepared."

Jin Zhong answered seriously.

".This sentence does make sense."

Chen Jian said with a smile:
"But it has no soul."

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"As I said before, the main combat goal of your team is to maintain the safety of the human settlements in the Yangtze River Basin."

"This time, you will go to Yanling City, kill the two monsters that besieged Yanling City, and evacuate the residents there to the Jingkou area."

"evacuation?"

Jin Zhong asked in surprise:

"Has Yanling City been destroyed? Why is it necessary to evacuate?"

"No."

Chen Jian shook his head and replied:
"But according to the reliable intelligence we have, there is a level three monster among the monsters that attacked Yanling City."

"This monster can release a large amount of toxic liquid, which may have an adverse impact on the ecology around Yanling City."

"And during the fighting, the pollution it may cause is even more uncontrollable."

"So, I need you to evacuate as many residents as possible if conditions permit."

“This will put a lot of pressure on Jingkou.”

Jin Zhong frowned and said:
"There may not be enough food, and there may not be enough daily necessities."

"Yes."

Chen Jian sighed, and then said:

"This is the strategy of the beast tide. They are trying to distract us from all directions, including food and supplies."

"These problems should have been solved by Zhang Tao, but now he is obsessed with so-called power reform."

"Well, there's no need for me to complain to you about this kind of thing. After all, I have no evidence to prove that what he did was definitely wrong."

"So, let's do more of what he didn't do well."

"Go get your equipment. This time, we will provide you with new equipment support."

"Yes, my lord."

Jin Zhong bowed respectfully to Chen Jian, then put down his bowl and chopsticks and turned to leave.

Chen Jian’s last few words were still echoing in his mind.

"These problems should have been solved by Zhang Tao."

In other words, these problems should have been solved by the Mechanicus.

But why did it finally fall on the Chinese army?
Why are they willing to take over these issues?
Jin Zhong couldn't figure it out.

He could only put the problem aside temporarily and focus on the matter at hand.
-
That level three monster.

Jin Zhong walked towards his team, briefly introduced the situation, called out a few capable subordinates, found Huang Yu who had been waiting on the side, and conveyed Chen Jian's order to him.

"follow me."

Huang Yu turned around without hesitation, and Jin Zhong followed immediately.

Several people walked into the main passage of fortification 011 one after another, then took the elevator down to the weapons storeroom.

When the wide variety of weapons in the arsenal appeared in front of Jin Zhong, he finally felt the power of the Chinese Army.

Of course, I have also truly felt the value of the so-called "treasure house".

"Can we choose whatever we want from here?"

One of the soldiers from the Guards Brigade asked tentatively, and Huang Yu shook his head and replied:
"Wait here, I'll pick out some equipment for you to take away."

"It's just a level 3 monster. You won't need much equipment."

"Just a level three monster?"

The soldiers of the Guards Brigade repeated Huang Yu's words in astonishment, and for a moment they didn't even understand whether he was stating the truth or deliberately mocking him.

The classification of monster levels is not a simple progression of strength, but is based on the difficulty of humans fighting against them. This is a recognized consensus in the world. A level 4 monster may only require a small team of the Guards Brigade to have a chance of dealing with it.

But a level three monster might require the entire city's strength to deal with it.

Now, you actually told me that this is just a level 3 monster and doesn't require too much equipment?

Such remarks are either extremely stupid or extremely arrogant.
However, at this point they had no room for rebuttal.

After being left hanging in front of the armory door for a few minutes, Huang Yu brought back the equipment they needed.

"Two PBW024 recoilless rifles."

"The shells fired by this gun can penetrate 700 mm of homogeneous armor and have an effective range of 600 meters."

"It's basically impossible for a monster hit by this cannon to survive - no matter if it's level 4 or level 3."

"I gave you four rounds of ammunition, which is enough for you to use."

"Understood, thank you."

Jin Zhong nodded sincerely to Huang Yu. He could see that the weapons provided by the other party were indeed useful.

Although, he didn't know whether the effect of the weapon was exaggerated.

Seeing his reaction, Huang Yu waved his hand and continued:
"This is a small reconnaissance drone. This is the model that the regiment leaders used at the beginning."

“It’s small, but it’s enough.”

"The matching control console is also here. If you don't know how to use it, go out and find Huang Meng. He will teach you."

Drone.

A gleam of light flashed in Jin Zhong's eyes.

He didn't expect that the Chinese army would actually give such important equipment to his team for use.

With drones, the problem of the team's lack of reconnaissance capabilities has been solved.

He could observe the monsters' movements in real time and no longer needed to contact the Chinese army for secondary confirmation via radio.

This is very useful!

"Understood. I will learn from him!"

Jin Zhong answered again, and Huang Yu continued speaking.

"Considering that you may encounter poisonous gas or venom attacks, we have prepared enough protective suits for you, which will be sent to you later."

"Also, in terms of weapons, there is a small electromagnetic cannon here, which was originally transported from Yellowstone City."

"We've tested it, and it's still usable, but its lifespan has basically reached its limit."

"How many shots you can fire depends on your luck. I have equipped you with three electromagnetic cannon shells, which should be enough."

"Understood. No problem."

Jin Zhong nodded again.

He actually didn't understand the meaning of the word "electromagnetic gun", but looking at the equipment brought up by the robots, he could roughly tell that this was a kind of artillery that could be quickly disassembled and assembled and had a certain amount of power.

Perhaps its greatest advantage is its flexibility?
Jin Zhong watched intently as Huang Yu demonstrated the disassembly and assembly movements to him, trying hard to remember every detail.

The other party simply demonstrated it, then stood up, clapped his hands, and said casually:

"Okay, that's all the equipment."

"Take it away—you guys should be able to move it, right?"

"what?"

Jin Zhong was stunned.

Not only him, but all the men he brought with him were also stunned.

"Is that all?"

he asked in disbelief.

"Believe me, these are enough."

Huang Yu did not explain much, but called on everyone to come forward and carry it.

Jin Zhong hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his hand, signaling his men to move.

The already limited equipment seemed even more pitiful when divided among a few people, but they couldn't say much in front of Huang Yu.

Only after returning to the ground did the soldiers of the Guard Brigade beside Jin Zhong couldn't help but speak:
"Sir, do we really have to hunt a level 3 monster with only these equipment?"

"They once said that they would provide us with better equipment after each mission, but now it seems that they haven't fulfilled their promise, right?"

Jin Zhong shook his head calmly, then said:

“They have fulfilled their commitment.”

"At least they gave us drones."

"And this electromagnetic cannon, it must be useful."

"but."

"No buts."

Jin Zhong raised his hand to interrupt his subordinate's complaints, and then said:

"Go back and form a team. We need to set off as soon as possible."

"The situation in Yanling City is not optimistic. The Guards Brigade there is facing reorganization and has no spare energy to deal with monsters."

"We may be their only savior. No matter what, we have to rush over."

"As for the equipment."

Before Jin Zhong finished speaking, Lei Jie, who was passing by from a distance, suddenly noticed the equipment around him.

The latter walked over quickly, took a look and said:
"Tsk tsk. The captain is really nice to you guys. He even gave you the electromagnetic cannon."

"Use it sparingly. If you shoot with direct aim, you can kill a monster with one shot."

"what?"

Jin Zhong was stunned.

"My Lord, are you sure you are talking about this cannon?"

"Why should I lie to you? Anyway, the level 2 monster in Jinling City was killed by a single shot from a similar electromagnetic cannon. You can think about its power yourself."

".Understood."

Jin Zhong took a deep breath and finally a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Then, he said to Lei Jie without any reservation:

"We originally thought that these equipments were not enough to deal with a level 3 monster, but now it seems that our worries were unnecessary."

"However, sir, perhaps we still need further guidance. Perhaps you could assign us a special instructor?"

"Just ask any robot, Fuxi will answer you."

Lei Jie replied casually:
"I should have found time to teach you, but I just don't have the time."

"I still have to teach others how to fly a plane, which is much harder to learn than your electromagnetic cannon."

"clear."

Jin Zhong nodded in understanding, and suddenly asked:

"Has the pilot training started yet?"

"Yes, not only has the training started, but the mission is about to begin."

"We found a very talented pilot, the one named Jiang Yu in Qiandao Lake Town."

"She has completed ground training ahead of schedule and will be able to go to the sky soon."

After Lei Jie finished speaking, Jin Zhong curiously asked:

"She is indeed a genius. If I may ask, what will be her first mission?"

"Who knows? Let's fly and see first."

Lei Jie subconsciously waved his hand, and then said:

"Maybe we'll fly south to see if we can drop a bomb on the head of that whale eel."

"I see."

Jin Zhong spoke thoughtfully, then suddenly woke up.

Wait a minute.

Whale Loach? ?
That first level monster? ?
Let a new guy blow it up?
