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

Chapter 348 Reverse Intrusion
Artificial human.

The moment Chen Jian uttered that word, the entire Huaxia Army had already sentenced the "Mountain City" force to death.

If the previous attempts were merely attempts to seek peace through struggle, and a desire to cooperate with the Yamashiro organization and work together for the future of humanity under the premise of complete suppression, then now the clash between the two forces has officially entered a situation of no return.

No, the Chinese military does accept genetic modification.

The Holy Blood Ones and Blood Skulls are both products of genetic engineering.

But Chen Jian had no prejudice against them. Even towards the Blood Skull, he only felt disgust and hatred for his "vicious kind".

But androids are different.

Artificial humans controlled by brain-computer interfaces are even more different.

This technology has completely deconstructed the boundaries between humans and things. It is not simply about "creating a race". It can even be said that it has dragged the entire human race into the water and fundamentally shaken the foundation of human unity.

If one day this technology continues to develop and eventually reaches a point where it can easily control other humans.
Do humans really still exist?

To control so many androids simultaneously, there is only one way.

Centralized computing systems.

If that's the case...
Are humans human or machines?

This question cannot be answered in a short time.

But in Chen Jian's view, the answer is simple.

This is the prelude to the Iron Man's rebellion!
Looking at the blood and brain matter scattered on the ground, broken into pieces like tofu dregs, Chen Jian took a deep breath.

Then, he spoke into the radio:
"The situation is basically clear."

"It is highly likely that there are no longer any humans in the mountain city in the true sense."

“All the ‘mountain city people’ we see are deformed machines under a physical body.”

"We need to design new combat strategies against them."

"Lei Jie, bring our ground attack aircraft over here as quickly as possible. I need high-altitude suppressive fire."

"Understood! The order has already been issued, and we expect to arrive in an hour!"

Lei Jie quickly replied, while Chen Jian's mind raced as he rapidly planned the subsequent battle strategy.

It has now been confirmed that these "human forces" fighting against our side are also puppets controlled by brain-computer interfaces.

Theoretically speaking, the effects of a strong electromagnetic pulse would also affect them.

However, their flexible armor shielded them from a large amount of electromagnetic pulse, reducing the damage to a manageable level.

But if that's the case...
What about the receiver?

Where are their receivers?

Chen Jian squatted down and carefully examined the brain-computer interface that Ji Xing had taken out of his skull. Then he picked up the remaining half of the skull from the ground, gritted his teeth and tore open the flesh, and immediately found two small metal contacts on the skull.

"This thing is attached to their flexible armor."

Chen Jian let out a soft breath and said with a frown:

"So where is the power source for those flexible armors?"

"This thing needs a power source, right?"

"Bio-battery".

Reggie's voice came through the radio.

"I saw the body that Ji Xing brought back."

"The organs of these artificial humans have also been cultivated and modified, and their stomach acid concentration is much higher than that of normal people."

"Brain-computer interfaces use bioelectricity for power—check the brain-computer interface module; does it have a power storage module?"

Chen Jian lowered his head again and then replied:
"Have!"

"There are obvious battery storage modules!"

"That's right!"

Reggie's tone on the radio was slightly serious.

“These mountain city people are essentially no different from the monsters they control, except that they are smaller in size.”

"Mandrill!"

"Do you remember? These mountain people are essentially a bunch of 'mountain demons'!"

"However, they are more controllable and can use weapons!"

In an instant, Chen Jian suddenly realized.

From the moment I met these people from the mountain town, I felt a strange sense of familiarity.

And now, that sense of familiarity has finally been fully realized.

Yes, they are the same kind as those mandrills.

However, it is possible that the mandrill is an early product of "partially out of control".

This can be seen from its wanton slaughter of a settlement.
-
But was that truly an instinctive act of violence that came out of control?
Or is there something hidden in that settlement destroyed by the mountain demons that could threaten the mountain city?
Chen Jian didn't have time to think too much.

He already had a plan in mind.

"We don't need to confront them head-on."

"Establish electromagnetic shielding!"

"impossible."

Reggie, on the other end of the radio, immediately denied it:
"The power of the electromagnetic interference equipment we currently possess is simply insufficient to interfere with their equipment."

"We don't even have an advantage in algorithms."

"No."

Chen Jian interrupted Lei Jie.

"That's not what I meant."

"Of course we don't have the capability to perform full-band jamming; in fact, we can't even do directional jamming."

"But don't we have their brain-computer interfaces?"

"This thing is different from the brain-computer interface we took from the monster."

"It has a transmitter!"

"you sure?"

Lei Jie's voice revealed a hint of surprise.

But he quickly realized that this was how it should be!

Why did those people from the mountain town immediately and desperately try to retrieve the bodies of those who had been killed in battle?

There is only one answer.

The corpse was important to them.

Hidden among those corpses were key devices that could affect their combat effectiveness.

Brain-computer interface.

"Don't touch that thing!"

"Did you turn off the power?"

Lei Jie said urgently:
"Cut off the power immediately! We must prevent the mountain city from remotely locking down the control unit!"

"rest assured."

Chen Jian looked at the shattered equipment in his hand and slowly said:
"The power outage is no longer the most important issue."

"the most important is"

"Can this thing really be fixed?"

After one hour.

All combat personnel have been regrouped.

Chen Jian gripped the explosive gun tightly and took the lead as he stepped out of the tunnel.

Behind him, the cart carrying the laser emission matrix had begun to move, while all the team members remained in their designated battle positions, continuing to carry out their escort duties.

Everything seems unchanged.

This team, seemingly after a brief rest, stubbornly continued with their previous strategy.

But Chen Jian knew that the balance of power had completely shifted.

"Ji Xing, Li Shi, continue to maintain the high ground and provide suppressive fire."

"Lei Jie, keep an eye on the drones and be ready to provide support at any time to exploit weaknesses."

"Jiang Yu! Prepare to descend and attack the enemy on the ground!"

"Watch out, don't damage our road!"

"Everyone else, proceed according to the pre-determined battle plan!"

"This time there's no need to worry, our information advantage is already fully established!"

"understand!"

"Received!" The replies from each group came one after another. Chen Jian took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

He gripped the explosive gun tightly, deactivated the intelligent fire control system of the Nezha exoskeleton, pressed the butt of the gun firmly against his shoulder, and advanced forward at a steady pace in a gun-wielding stance.

The footsteps behind them gradually faded, and he led Guo Xu and the other two to within two hundred meters of the convoy.

And this is the battle position that Chen Jian has planned for this time.

He did not intend to allow any person from the mountain city at the front to cross this boundary.

As soon as they show their faces, they will be met with the most precise and merciless blows!

"Is the jamming system ready?"

Chen Jian asked again.

"Ready and connected to PDA."

"The power is currently off, so interference can be launched at any time!"

"understand!"

Chen Jian gave a brief answer.

At that moment, less than 300 meters in front of him, a dark shadow flashed by.

"Enter the enemy!"

Ji Xing's voice came through the radio.

The next second, a violent gunshot rang out.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

Beneath the thin mist, the vibrations of sound seemed to take shape.

Chen Jian looked up at the high ground. On the platform to the left of the direction of advance, Ji Xing and Li Shi had already opened fire at the same time!
12.7mm and 7.62mm caliber bullets crisscrossed as they hurtled toward distant targets. Under the suppression of heavy firepower, even the mountain city dwellers wearing flexible armor dared not show their faces.

The "trailblazer" was instantly pushed back into the building by bullets, and its intermittent counterattacks seemed weak and ineffective.

But Chen Jian knew that this was just the beginning.

Just like the previous round of conflict.

At first, they only sent out one or two scouts to probe.

Once a defensive weakness is discovered, they will immediately swarm in with their superior mobility and launch a fierce attack!
Right now, they just haven't found the opportunity.

The convoy was advancing through a narrow alleyway. The buildings on both sides were too tall, making it impossible to obtain an effective angle of attack if they attacked from above.

However, if they attack directly from the same level, their high mobility advantage is insufficient against the unreasonable and dense firepower of the Chinese army.

They are waiting.

They must wait until the Chinese army leaves this complex of buildings and officially gets onto the elevated road before launching a new attack.

"be prepared!"

Chen Jian shouted the order, raised his explosive gun, aimed at a tiny black shadow, no bigger than a grain of rice, that was spying from the rooftop in the distance, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

At a distance of 300 meters, even without the support of an intelligent fire control system, Chen Jian could still throw bullets to the desired location!
"boom!"

The sound of grenade explosions came from afar, and on the rooftop, the fragile concrete was smashed into flying debris.

The mountain city dweller hiding behind the wall was directly hit by the second and third grenades. Even though the grenades lost most of their penetrating power after penetrating due to the wall, the shock wave from the explosion still sent him flying backward instantly.

"Hit!"

Chen Jian's eyes locked onto the fallen enemy, and the information was immediately transmitted to the smart terminals of other combat personnel through the locally deployed warhead system.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Shi abandoned his attempt to suppress the enemy he was destined to miss, and instead quickly used the advantageous terrain to assist Chen Jian in finishing off the fallen enemy.

"Bang bang bang-"

Li Shi had developed a kind of "connection" with the 12.7mm heavy machine gun through long-term use. With just a short burst of no more than 5 rounds, he accurately hit the enemy who was struggling to stand up.

Under such immense penetrating force, even the toughest flexible materials become vulnerable.

The bullets pierced straight through the mountain city man's body, then exited from his back, exploding into large, bowl-sized wounds.

The enemy fell to the ground instantly, and at that moment, more shadows emerged from the lurking corners.

"coming!"

"Attention, all combat personnel!"

"Prepare to engage the enemy!"

"I need you to hold on for 30 seconds!"

"understand!"

A reply came through the headset, and at the same time, the "ground attack aircraft" in the air had already descended.

This was an incredibly risky offensive.

While this attack aircraft is targeting the ground, enemies on the ground can also target it.

Its fragile defenses can't withstand more than a few bullets.

Not to mention, the mountain city dwellers on the ground also possess laser weapons.

That kind of energy weapon that keeps tracking could completely ignite and destroy the aircraft in seconds!
Its attack window is very short.

But it's enough.

Because it only needs to maintain pressure for 15 seconds!
"Bang bang bang bang-"

Gunshots, sharp as tearing silk, rang out from the air.

Smoke and dust billowed up on both sides of the viaduct, and incendiary bombs swept across like tongues of fire, almost completely covering the entire area.

The first round of suppression lasted less than 5 seconds.

Immediately afterwards, the attack aircraft quickly turned around and conducted the same five-second suppression on the other side of the overpass.

"Get out of the battlefield immediately!"

"Roger that!"

The sound of river fish came from the air.

With a nimble turn, the attack aircraft disappeared into the buildings.

At this moment, blue smoke was already rising from its tail.

It was just a few seconds off.

It almost caught fire!
But its mission is over.

Now it's the ground forces' turn to organize the next suppression.

"Fire at full power!"

Chen Jian's voice was slightly hoarse.

After the order was given, the squad finally went into full-scale combat mode.

Rifles and machine guns fired continuously.

All the remaining rockets were fired.

Rifle grenades and automatic grenades began to provide widespread coverage.

Even when the exact location of the target cannot be determined, the recoilless gun fires without regard to cost, aiming only to destroy any cover that may be hiding the enemy as quickly as possible.

Chen Jian had already fired all the hidden missiles mounted on his weapon rack. These missiles were extremely ineffective against the mountain city people who had anti-infrared coatings and electrochromic camouflage, but they did put some pressure on them.

Explosions rang out, and the enemy's offensive was halted in an instant.

And this was the opportunity Chen Jian had been waiting for.

30 seconds.

no more, no less.

At this point, most of the enemy had already begun their attack.

They were eager to close the distance to engage in combat, but were momentarily blocked by the intense firepower, leaving them completely exposed outside their cover.

In the smart eyepiece, the battlefield situation map instantly turned completely red.

Chen Jian gave the order without hesitation:

"Initiate jamming!"

In an instant, invisible radio waves traversed the entire city.

All the people in the mountain city immediately stopped moving.

Although they resumed their actions in the blink of an eye, the "logic" of their actions had clearly been severely disrupted by noise.

It's now.

Chen Jian took a deep breath and continued to give the order:

"Roll call has begun!"
