Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

As an expert on relics, Taylor knew how difficult these old corpses were to deal with.

"Can't it be faster?!" He bent down to put down the ammunition box and urged: "You heard it too, the zombies are coming."

Lingyin ignored it and processed the Lao Gan Ma step by step.

If you don't take good care of this thing, it will give the user "surprises".

I saw it last time in Yemen. It jammed every time it fired.

In addition, it should be noted that the barrel will overheat if this thing fires more than two hundred rounds in two minutes.

If it gets to this point, the bullet in the chamber will be fired uncontrollably due to the heat.

You must not open the receiver cover at this time, because it will be unfortunate. Lingyin has seen an example of an unlucky person in the operation manual, where the hot shell destroyed half of his face.

Despite its shortcomings, Lao Gan Ma is still one of the world's top heavy machine guns.

"Give me the ammunition box."

"Ok, no problem."

The little girl's voice sounded like heavenly music to Ted - she was finally getting into the mood.

He breathed a sigh of relief and handed the box to Lingyin. Listening to the "clack" sound of the bolt being pulled, Taylor felt very uncomfortable again.

Girls of his age have gone to fight in dangerous contaminated areas, while his boy is still struggling with his high school studies.

call out--!

"What's that noise?" Taylor asked.

Then, he immediately regretted the question.

Where is this? Bergen Harbor. Suzune's squad is called "Enfield" and their weapons are equipped with sound suppressors.

"Enfield O-3 is intervening ahead of time, trying to buy us some time."

Lingyin pulled the bolt again, "It's time to get busy, Professor."

After she finished speaking, she pressed the firing button of the M2HB heavy machine gun with her thumbs.

Chapter 168: A -year-old woman beats a five-year-old child ()

The effect of long-range intervention was not good, and the high-pressure, high-initial-velocity 6.8 steel-core bullet did its best.

The zombie shook its body under the impact of the bullet, and the impact was almost negligible.

At this time, the heavy machine gun sounded.

The zombie walking in front trembled, and a hole the size of a dinner plate suddenly appeared on his chest.

Lingyin saw it clearly, "It's more fun to use heavy weapons."

Boom boom boom, boom boom boom…

The ELID zombie walking in front didn't even let Taylor see it clearly before it broke into two and fell down, hitting the ground heavily.

The sudden change stunned Taylor, who was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

This is different from the conversation I heard on the radio during the day. Aren't ELID infected people supposed to be difficult to deal with?

As if guessing what the professor was thinking, Lingyin said between shots:

"The lethality, penetration and endurance of heavy weapons are simply not something that a rifle used by a single soldier can match.

No matter how strong the skeleton and body of an ELID-infected mutated creature are, a considerable part of the body still has the same level of protection as an ordinary creature."

The bullets fired by the M2HB Browning were like cannonballs, easily shattering the bodies of the infected mutants, and then penetrating the walls of the houses on the shore, stirring up a lot of brick debris and lime.

"Indeed, although I don't want to admit it, the ELID zombies we can see now are——

I think this is how they are called. They are similar to the images on the screen, but the reason for their creation is different. However, the name "zombies" is indeed very descriptive.

——’s original body can actually be called a gifted being.”

Taylor sighed, and continued as a storm of machine gun fire broke out:

“About 70 years ago, it was not a very good time for the United States because the United States was already stuck in the jungle swamp of Vietnam.

The Vietnamese army launched the famous "Tet Offensive" against the US military, with a total of 8 armed forces launching attacks on all cities and strategic support points in the US military-controlled area.

Most attacks were repelled within hours of the start of the campaign, but the attack on Saigon lasted three days and the attack on Hue lasted for several months.

When the news reached the mainland, the U.S. military's decline was condemned because there was a serious contrast between the news provided by President Lyndon Johnson and the reality.

But the facts proved that the combat effectiveness of the Vietnamese army was far from reaching its limit.

During the final phase of the Spring Offensive, the Advanced Research Projects Agency, acting on President Lyndon's orders, sent three containers of compressed gas storage tanks to the USS Forrestal in the Tonkin Gulf.

"It's the yellow gas taken from the remains of D-9 Beta-Zuma, right." Lingyin threw the empty ammunition box out with force and picked up a new one from her feet.

"It seems you know more than I thought," Taylor said. "I've seen the video of the experiment with that yellow gas. It corrodes any organic matter it comes into contact with, including humans."

In the glass laboratory, a subject was fixed on the operating table. Yellow gas gradually emerged from the ventilation system above the laboratory.

Initially, the subjects showed no abnormalities.

But as time went on and the concentration of the yellow gas continued to rise, it showed signs of liquefaction.

Pale yellow water droplets appeared on the inner wall of the glass laboratory, and at the same time, the subjects began to scream.

His skin was eroded, dissolving in a manner unlike any acid currently available to humans.

The coagulated yellowish liquid looked like it was peeling the subject's skin directly off his bones, as if it was being eaten by something invisible.

Looking back now, Professor Taylor can recall all the details.

“Agent Orange.”

"Yes, that's what the Air Force and Advanced Research Projects Agency called it at the time."

“It’s actually diluted collapse fluid.”

"Yes and no."

“But they are all products of ruins, with high-intensity collapse radiation.”

Lingyin found it ridiculous that the human race was always extremely talented when it came to slaughtering their own people.

"You are laughing at us, at the lengths we go to to slaughter our fellow countrymen."

"Yes."

Lingyin fired a short shot, smashing an approaching zombie, and shouted:

"The first requirement for becoming an ELID infected creature is to be able to resist the effects of wide-area collapse radiation to a certain extent. If not, he will be like the subject mentioned in the experiment, and will be quickly corroded into only bones."

She paused, pressed the trigger of the Browning with her thumbs, and controlled the machine gun to fire at the group of zombies that were running towards her after hearing the sound.

The number is far from the 9 mentioned in the bird warning, but dozens, most likely hundreds.

In a sense, they are all gifted.

"Agent Orange was quickly deployed on the battlefield, and the F-4 squadron in charge of the bombing dropped a unit of ammunition in the designated mission area after the B-52 bomber completed its bombing mission.

According to the results of photographic reconnaissance, the area has traces similar to high-temperature burns, and all living things have disappeared. Apart from the completely burned vehicles, there is no sign of human beings or human remains. "

"Stupid, who can withstand throwing something of that concentration down there?"

After saying so much, Lingyin said "Pooh" without any image and asked directly: "Which sect are you from?"

"Which sect?"

"Don't answer a question with a question." She said then jumped down from the machine gun position and turned sideways to face Professor Taylor.

In the shadows that he couldn't see, Lingyin's right hand had already rested on the pistol.

"You know what I mean by that question. Beacon, or stolen fire?"

"Whether factions are really that important."

Taylor said confidantly:

"If I were a supporter of the Beacon Faction, I should be at Camp David, in Congress, and among the wealthy, as their guest of honor, instead of dealing with ELID-infected creatures here."

The United Nations Heritage Administration roughly divides the attitude towards "whether to study and use heritage technology (including the development and manufacture of weapons and other methods of use and technology)" into two factions.

The Fire Stealers and Beacons mentioned by Lingyin are the names that the two factions call themselves.

The purpose of the Beacon Faction's activities can be simply summarized as "Run", actively using relic technology to escape to Antarctica.

They plan to develop the Antarctic Void Ruins Exploration Base into a doomsday shelter.

Beacon followers firmly believe that as long as they complete the core system of the base:

By reactivating the anti-collapse device, the city can cope with any form of doomsday, including the world war predicted by Redel Albert Roxart.

Correspondingly, another faction within the Bureau of Relics regards the "Beacon Faction" as traitors and wants to stay outside Antarctica and continue trying to save the future of mankind.

This group called themselves "Fire Thieves".

The Beacon Faction hopes to avoid war, keep to themselves, and use relic technology to change their lives; while the other faction is just the opposite.

Chapter 169: The Relics Management Bureau is closely related to CCCP

"Where the hell did you get that?" Taylor asked in a tired tone.

An inner struggle appeared on his face.

On the one hand, the answer given had to satisfy the other party, and on the other hand, he had to keep the secret of his coming here from her.

Lingyin looked at Taylor's embarrassed face and couldn't help but smile.

The split of the United Nations Relics Science Agency was directly caused by Roxart's death and the human instinct for survival, and the fundamental reason was the differences between the two sides on the next world war and the means of using relics.

The Beacon faction hopes to avoid war, keep to itself, and use relic technology to change its life and maintain its status; while the other faction is just the opposite.

"The cowards of the Relics Department chose to give up. They chose the most shameful way - running away."

Roxart used his life to tell everyone that humans have the ability to see light again after darkness.

In the eyes of the Fire Stealers, the responsibility of the Relics Bureau is to protect the fire of human civilization during the Dark Ages.

"We have to protect him for the moment when we can light this torch again."

"Do you believe this yourself?" Lingyin asked back.

"I believe."

Taylor spoke with absolute certainty, but he certainly knew the true situation within the Fire Stealers. Taylor walked silently to Lingyin's side and picked up the second ammunition box.

In early 32, they received a report from Minsk, which pointed out that during the turbulent period in Russia, radical Russian troops had planned to use the relics of the former Soviet Union to attack the new Soviet army.

The core department of the new Soviet Union, namely the former Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, responded quickly and successfully controlled the situation.

These evidences prove that even in the most chaotic moments of political and military struggles, there were still people in the newly born regime who tightly guarded the keys to the ruins.

Even though they are absolutely capable of arming themselves with the relic technology of the former Soviet Union.

At that time, they were very optimistic, blindly optimistic, and felt that "restarting Tashabal-B" was just a bargaining chip in the factional struggle within the new Soviet Union, rather than a strategic act.

The Monument Management Authority also received another assessment report from British intelligence agencies, which led them to believe this judgment.

But in subsequent investigations, they discovered that the new Soviet Union’s resolution to “restart Tashabal-B” was not a joke, nor was it part of a political struggle.

What also shocked them was that the Antiquities Bureau was behind this incident.

Some people suggested that an internal security investigation should be conducted.

But more people have expressed their opposition clearly, after all, internal security investigations are meaningless.

If anyone feels that the Monument Management Agency's technology and storage objects pose a safety risk, they should go to the Americans.

The purpose of the monument management agency's internal security investigation is not to find any evidence. Its role is only to dispel media rumors and ensure that scholars from the agency can travel normally within the United States.

The spokesperson for the external press can confidently say at a press conference: "After a comprehensive investigation, these allegations are completely without evidence."

But in fact, that internal security investigation clearly pointed out that some people in the "Fire Stealing" faction provided support for the new Soviet Union.

Taylor has the right to comment on the disputes within the Fire Stealing Faction and to express his position, but he cannot expose it to outsiders.

Lingyin is an outsider, and family disgrace should not be made public.

Thanks to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Monuments Administration managed to obtain Soviet-era monument research materials during the chaos in Moscow.
