Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

Although the two don't look very alike, it's certain that she has access to the vast majority of the farm's equipment and supplies.

"And also..."

"Da da da!"

"Tell everyone to take refuge quickly!" As soon as Yelena heard the gunshot, she ran towards the vehicle. The infected also quickly unloaded the boxes from the vehicle without hesitation, and several people carried them and ran towards the cellar.

"Froststar is calling the Yeti to report the situation?"

"A group of infected thugs are attacking our roadblocks and are currently exchanging fire with the security team! Yeti, over." "Notify the others to take evacuation. A small team is driving to the crossroads to meet me! Frostnova, over..."

"Yeti received." The white rabbit inserted the key into the igniter, and the Originium Arts were slightly activated. The Originium engine created by Xia Lin emitted a low-frequency humming vibration.

Since it is not a gas engine, the vehicle has no exhaust outlet, only a heat dissipation vent. Streams of hot air generated by waste heat blow across the ground, melting and re-condensing the thin ice into a glistening puddle once again.

"Whoosh!" "Screech!" The tires with anti-slip treads screeched against the ground as the vehicle shot out of the settlement like an arrow, crashing through the frozen drainage ditch and onto the road, heading towards the position of the firefight.

Several main roads around the settlement have now been paved, reaching a level comparable to modern rural cement roads. Roadblocks and guards have also been set up on several main roads and checkpoints to prevent Ursus's clearing forces from suddenly appearing in front of them.

Infrastructure can accelerate the flow of goods within the country, facilitate transportation, and improve efficiency, but conversely...

Once the invaders breach the roadblocks and the few trails near the valley, these paved surfaces will allow them to march at high speed and reach the farm's face.

On the only way to the roadblock area, two patrol cars of the Yeti Squad were already waiting there, and several guys carrying crossbows and shotguns were waving to the White Rabbit from the roadside.

Yelena slowed down the car and moved to the passenger seat. Two young members of the Yeti Squad nimbly climbed onto the vehicle. One drove, while the other crawled into the weapons station and quickly pulled up the ammunition belt.

Like the weapons deployed by the security team on the watchtowers and firing points on both sides of the roadblocks, the rapid-fire electromagnetic weapon that fires 4.5 cm long 5 mm projectiles is not very powerful.

The stationary ones are somewhat better, while the vehicle-mounted ones are only about the same as the Terra Armor-Piercing Heavy Crossbow in terms of kinetic energy—but their rate of fire is insane, and the black Armor-Piercing Crossbow doesn't have 950 BPM.

[It's roughly equivalent to the firing rate of a UMP45 firing subsonic rounds, with slightly lower power, but better armor-piercing capability...]

"Bang!" The ice shards created by Originium Arts struck the thick sandbags like cannonballs, piercing nearly half of the nearly one-meter-thick fiber sandbags filled with frozen soil and sand. More random fireballs, ice shards, and even electric arcs released by Originium Arts flew everywhere.

"How long until reinforcements arrive?" The security captain guarding the roadblock popped his head out, quickly spraying the infected rushing towards them with his shotgun several times, and then ducked back behind cover before the arrows and Originium spells came flying at him.

The roadblocks were made of wood and barbed wire. Although the gate had been reinforced, it couldn't withstand much impact. Compared to the security stations on the main roads, these roadblocks, designed to prevent people from climbing over side roads, were not very sturdy.

The main problem is that Xia Lin has limited ore reserves, making it impossible to manufacture a large number of Covenant standard alloy roadblocks and defensive walls. As a result, most of the roadblock areas only have the ability and configuration to slow down targets.

"The Yeti Squad is already on its way. Miss Skadi and the others from Security Headquarters need to slow down..."

After all, they weren't driving the kind of off-road vehicles that the Yeti Squad focused on mobility and were mainly used for patrolling and hunting. Instead, they were driving heavy vehicles that Xia Lin had made when she learned that Ursus was planning to come for a real fight.

The Hercules is a combat vehicle modified by removing its mechanical legs and wheel drive and replacing them with tracked drive. It is covered with a six-centimeter-wide marine composite armor plate and has two micro fusion power sources, one providing power to drive the engine and the other providing power to the weapons.

A railgun composed of superconducting materials and large marine capacitors can blast 9 kg of ammunition at Mach 12 into the enemy's face. The drawback is that Xia Lin cannot have the active destructive element materials and manufacturing technology.

Therefore, it is purely kinetic energy armor-piercing damage, which has almost no killing power against dense crowds, but it is good for dealing with possible Ursus armored units.

The secondary weapons were two coaxial arrow-shaped machine guns, both electromagnetically driven, which were more powerful than the ones Yelena mounted on her vehicle, with a similar rate of fire, making them veritable human harvesters for those without or with light protection.

Based on Patriot tests using Shieldbearer equipment, if it's a single-shot weapon, it would be almost impossible to inflict any damage on the elite Ursus heavy infantry, whose shields and armor are sufficient to block this incomplete and inferior electromagnetic weapon.

Or rather, an attack from a slightly more powerful nail gun—but, in rapid-fire mode…

A rate of fire of 950 to 1000 rounds per minute is enough to pin a shield guard to the ground in seconds, and under burst fire, they won't be able to move an inch.

The fact that they couldn't penetrate their Originium Arts-enhanced shields and armor doesn't mean that the kinetic energy disappeared. Patriot hasn't tried firing at maximum rate of fire.

However, it is estimated that ordinary Ursus heavy infantry would be instantly knocked down by the barrage of bullets, and after losing the protection of their shields treated by Originium Arts, they would become a pile of mangled flesh.

"Whoosh!" A violent roar came from behind. Three patrol cars suddenly rushed up the gentle slope, came to an abrupt stop at the intersection, and the Yeti team hanging on the cars quickly jumped off and rushed to the roadblock.

The remaining people blocked the entrance to the roadblock with their vehicles, using the vehicles to brace against the wooden-reinforced barbed wire gate. The rapid-fire electromagnetic crossbows on the three weapon stations largely pushed the infected rioters who had rushed to the entrance and started ramming the gate back to the corner of the mountain road.

What's going on?

“A large group of infected people. At first, we thought they were coming to seek refuge, so we provided them with some food and heating equipment and prepared to screen them one by one. But unexpectedly, the number of people increased and then they suddenly launched an attack, trying to break through the roadblocks and defenses.”

What about the other side of the main road?

"Same here, but they were driven back over there." The infected could still charge forward against the electromagnetic crossbows, but few dared to push forward against the fixed plasma flamethrowers installed in the bunkers on the other side of the road.

“It’s normal for infected people to become thugs, but so many people are not right…” Yelena knew, of course, that not all infected people were good people. It was normal for them to steal, cheat, or rob when they were desperate. In fact, the difference between many so-called guerrillas and bandits was that they gave themselves a veneer of righteousness.

However, such a large number of people, all of whom are young and middle-aged infected individuals, seems a bit off. This isn't a normal gathering, nor is it the normal number of rioters. "Someone must be inciting them. Have you found their leader?"

"No, he's hiding behind the corner. They can't get through, and neither can we."

There were too many people, especially since many infected individuals, despite having severe symptoms, could unleash Originium Arts without using their staffs. This allowed them to suppress the security personnel with firearms in terms of firepower, as the shotguns and pistols in their hands couldn't produce fireballs with an blast radius of 2 meters.

"Then let's break them down!" Everyone here is infected, and they know that if they can't break them down, there's nothing to talk about; these people will just sweep through like locusts.

Just as peasant uprisings may initially be righteous acts of resisting oppression, they cannot be sustained without a program and a sound ideal.

Once they've been coerced to a certain extent, they're no different from any other bandit group, and in some ways even more brutal than government troops.

The only solution is to kill or completely break the spirits of the leaders and the brave young men who are willing to fight, and then recruit and resettle the remaining old, weak, sick, disabled, and sensible people.

After all, without any guiding ideology or program, their fighting will was not as firm as that of true revolutionaries. As long as those who instigated the uprising and their die-hard followers were dealt with, the rest would defect and surrender in a short time.

Conversely, if the fighting becomes a stalemate and they see a glimmer of hope for victory, the situation will be difficult to resolve, and any mercy shown to these people would be the greatest cruelty.

For example, the infected rioters on the other side of the main road gave up continuing to attack the security station protected by alloy walls and bunkers, and chose to flee and retreat in other directions. As long as they bypassed the control zone of the farm's radiation, or even bypassed it and came back from the north or east, it was also feasible.

However, due to issues with manpower and firepower, the fighting became a stalemate. If it weren't for the White Rabbit bringing reinforcements, the situation would have been much more difficult to resolve.

Skadi's Hercules chariot arrived a little later, but the rumbling monster clearly gave the mob a great shock.

"Thugs?" The silver-haired young woman who jumped out of the car frowned slightly. "I thought it was an attack by the Sea Monster."

In her opinion, given Xia Lin's skill level and the combat capabilities of the Terra Wasteland and the thugs she had witnessed along the way, she shouldn't have dared to cause trouble head-on.

"Ms. Skadi, can you find their commander?"

“Hmm, I can’t tell, but…” Skadi drew her greatsword, “so we just have to kill them all, right?”

"No, these people aren't bad people. It's just that someone is instigating them from behind. They're just desperate..."

“I can’t tell, but I won’t attack unarmed and defenseless people.” Skadi shook her head. “Leave this to me.”

She flipped over the roadblock in two steps, and the crossbow bolts and spells cast by the infected were like a phantom, not even touching the hem of her clothes.

The baby killer whale moved like a ghost through the mountain path, arriving at the infected people's camp, or rather, their preparation ground for attack.

She paid no attention to the wounded groaning on the ground, nor did she glance at the frail women and children who were clearly unable to resist. All she could remember were the words the instructor had said.

"Skadi, you're not good at thinking, so don't overthink it on the battlefield. If you don't know what to do, start by killing the strongest and greatest enemy, and keep killing until there are no more enemies or you've exhausted all your strength..."

“Hmm, the biggest one…” The burly Ursus man, who was assigning some task, looked up and met a pair of scarlet eyes.

The greatsword, with its silver body and red blade, shone like a ray of bright moonlight before him. Then, he saw a headless, standing body, and before he could even wonder what it was, he was plunged into darkness.

The title is a parody of "Zhao Yun at Changban Slope," and it's quite normal for the little orca to charge in and out of a group of thugs seven times.

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Infected Are Honest, Send Them One by One...

Chapter 64

The hunter danced across the snow like a crimson flame. Nothing and no one could stand against her greatsword. When Skadi's power combined with her original vibrating blade, it was like a raging storm that tore everything in its path to shreds. And now that she had a new weapon, her fighting style remained unchanged.

Even if there were one or two experts among these ordinary infected thugs, it would be difficult to stop Skadi's blade. She did not activate the engine mode, but simply used the inertia of the blade to dance a waltz on the battlefield.

The use of a greatsword is quite different from that of a light sword. A regular longsword requires the sword to follow the person's movements, emphasizing footwork.

On the other hand, with greatswords, especially extra-heavy swords, the opposite is true: the person moves with the sword, emphasizing arm strength and wrist strength.

Using the unique weight and inertia of this giant greatsword, one can draw one arc after another. It requires extremely strong arm strength to control the direction of the sword, which is generally heading towards one's target, as if dancing gracefully with an invisible partner.

The crimson hem of her dress unfurled like a lotus leaf, leaving a burning and vibrant mark in the eyes of everyone who tried to stop her.

Without thinking, surrounded by enemies and isolated, all you need to do is extend your senses and follow the blade in your hand. No matter what enemy is in front of you, they can only wait to be cut, torn apart, and smashed in front of the blade.

The hunters of the deep sea are best at dealing with this kind of encirclement, and worst at dealing with the enemy who completely ignores them and is focused on breaking through the defenses and rushing back. Due to the mutual attraction between the hunters and the sea creatures, as long as they appear on the battlefield, even if the city of Argo is within arm's reach, the sea creatures will not notice them.

After several waves of infected were shredded by Skadi, the infected appeared to have suffered a significant mental and physical shock and began to become confused.

Yelena and the others couldn't see what was happening in the ravine behind the corner, but they could hear screams and sounds of fighting. Clearly, they were in chaos, and now was the perfect time to counterattack.

"Everyone get in the car, charge!" The security personnel's vehicle was the same model as the Yeti team's, but with a slight difference in design, more like a large SUV, with the back compartment able to seat six fully armed guys.

It's not as good as the Yeti Squad's off-road patrol vehicle when it comes to driving on mountain roads. Therefore, it was previously just kept in the back and not used as cover or assault vehicle; it was a proper means of transportation.

"Whoosh!" The tracks rolled over the rocks, and the roadblocks were useless against the armored unit. The warrior broke through the roadblocks and charged straight down the mountain. When the infected saw a clearly armored vehicle with cannons coming out from around the corner, their morale collapsed almost instantly.

If they had the courage and fighting ability to confront the Ursus armored forces head-on, they wouldn't have been driven here.

Did they turn into raiders and thugs because of food and clothing shortages and the abundance of produce on the farm?

This blow was even greater than the fear and shock that Skadi had brought them. Although the little orca was very efficient at killing, she was only one person after all. Most of these thugs were fighting and blocking her with the mentality that they would exhaust her to death. Moreover, she could not stop them from rushing over the roadblocks and into the rich land behind.

However, an obviously armored vehicle is different; it can crush all these people here, or crush them on the flat plains behind. People can't outrun wheels and tracks on flat ground.

The coaxial electromagnetic crossbows began firing intensively, and a dense barrage of arrows rained down on the men.

Strictly speaking, the ones placed on the white rabbit cart and behind the roadblocks can be called electromagnetic crossbows, because their power is not much different from that of heavy crossbows.

However, the weapon powered by fusion reactors and industrial superconducting batteries should be called an electromagnetic submachine gun or something similar, as its power is not much different from that of a proper electromagnetic weapon.

The same 5mm arrow, the strongman's coaxial weapon can penetrate at least three people and blow the last person's hit spot into a bloody hole, while the one on the white rabbit's car can only turn them into a hedgehog.

Although for these unprotected infected individuals, a bullet entering the body is still a death sentence.

But... the difference between being safe behind cover and dying with your cover is quite significant, especially in terms of psychological impact.

Faced with the chaotic surging crowd, unsure of which direction to attack or flee, White Rabbit decisively abandoned his plan to attack with a rifle and pulled out a large weapon from the back of the carriage—a fully automatic shotgun with a 45-round drum magazine.

"Skadi, get in the car. Don't stand in the crowd; it's easy to get accidentally hurt!"

"Good!" The little orca, its blade completely stained with blood, charged forward, knocking away the burly Ursus bear-man directly in front of it. Using the momentum, it swept aside the people around it and leaped onto the strongman in a few steps.

"Bang!" The railgun fired, its only anti-infantry ammunition, a bundle of spikes, was fired at Mach 9.5, turning into a scorching and terrifyingly penetrating hail of bullets. In an instant, half of the crowd in front of the strongman seemed to evaporate, leaving only wisps of red blood mist floating in the air.

In terms of its fan-shaped attack range, it leaves no trace of even a slightly intact corpse, let alone people. Apart from its range of less than 200 meters, it is comparable to a flamethrower in terms of anti-infantry capabilities, making it a great helper in jungle and mountain warfare.

(Flamethrower tanks and veteran soldiers are the best combination for fighting this kind of messy war, not Gundam...)

"Whoosh!" From the moment the first infected person laid down their weapon, surrender became a malignant infectious disease that spread rapidly among the population. Groups of people, without any psychological burden or perhaps with their psychological bottom line completely destroyed, dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for their lives.

Generally speaking, the infected have a strong will to fight. Due to the discrimination and oppression they face from Ursus and other countries, they know that even if they surrender, they will not have a good ending. They are going to die anyway, so they might as well take a gamble.

But without a stronger conviction and relying solely on sheer courage, they collapse even faster than ordinary armies when fear completely overwhelms their courage and reason.

Especially when some of the Yeti squad pulled down their masks to reveal the same infected features on their necks, they surrendered even faster and their expressions became more relaxed.
