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

Its distorted face was frozen at the moment of death, and its empty eyes lost the last ray of light.

Raphael sat on the tank turret, with the rifle in his hand close to his shoulder, and watched the movements ahead vigilantly through the LPVO variable-magnification scope.

Many people, like the humanoid team, climbed directly onto the tanks to gain a commanding position, but more people chose to stay on the roadside and dig reconnaissance shelters.

This allows them to look after the direction they are responsible for, as well as provide protection and rest.

Since dawn, monsters that were mutated from animals have launched fierce attacks on the task force from all directions.

Their raid disrupted the task force's rotation and supply plans, causing chaos and stagnation for a time.

The area where Raphael was was not spared either. Fortunately, the monsters had limited intelligence and fled in all directions, leaving behind a dozen corpses.

However, the calm did not last long.

Perhaps the failure of the first attack angered them, or perhaps they were more inclined to follow the remaining instincts in their bodies.

Now they all crouched down and crept in the grass that was half a person's height, trying their best to hide their tracks.

Raphael stared at the sight intently, his eyes sharp and his nerves tense, ready to respond to any disturbance at any time.

In this struggle between humans and monsters, victory or defeat is often just a matter of thought.

Lu Hui climbed onto the tank and set up the XM5 at the rear of the turret. He lowered his voice and sighed, "Maybe it's more dangerous in the wild than in the city."

"Well, if we estimate the data, humans may only account for 0.00002% of the total number of species on Earth. Of course, this is still a relatively optimistic number."

"Hey, what's the point of talking about these data?" Lu Hui curled his lips in disapproval.

“But in terms of numbers of individuals and major activity areas, a total population of nearly 80 billion people is considered relatively abundant among some vertebrate species, which means that risk estimates for cities and the wild are almost equivalent.

Of course, when you compare the number of humans to microorganisms like insects, bacteria, and fungi, the proportion of humans is very small.”

Raphael shrugged and continued to focus on the open space she was responsible for.

Although everyone knows to keep quiet, the fleet's fuel refueling work cannot avoid making noise.

The driver of the M10 was standing nearby, observing the condition of the grass outside the road through a telescope, feeling uneasy about the two people's idle chat.

There is no reason to show data all the time. How can people join in the conversation?

He also wanted a chance to kill time.

"Did you see that? Two at 2 o'clock."

"I saw it, what do you say?"

"Okay, I'll deal with the one on the left," Raphael said coldly, "We can't let this little thing rush over. It will be very troublesome."

The gunshots nearby made the commander, who was about to say something, tremble all over and immediately got into the turret.

The drone's turret and sighting equipment were pointed at the 3 o'clock direction, searching for monsters moving forward in the brush.

Chapter 197 Take the first step

The monster's sudden attack caused a little panic for a short time, but after the soldiers calmed down, they quickly organized an effective counterattack.

No one was injured or killed in the attack.

In order not to cause trouble to the task force temporarily staying in the field supply drop zone for rest, the armed helicopter could only hover ten kilometers away.

As long as the signal from the laser target indicator is captured, the Hellfire missile will detach from the rack and accurately hit the target after 30 seconds.

Because the Marine Corps' armed helicopters were very powerful in bullying weak enemies, basically no zombie giants could appear in front of everyone alive.

After learning that no one was injured, Raphael was relieved. Just as he was about to take out the map to check the situation, someone shouted again:

"At 4 o'clock, unknown creatures are attacking. The number... the number is 7. They are coming towards us!"

After hearing the shouting, Raphael and Luhui quickly ran to the shooting position.

Asuka and Lingyin ran to serve the laser target indicator, ready to irradiate the giant mutant creature.

The noisy outdoor camp suddenly became quiet, leaving only the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the valley.

The M2A3 Bradley next to it turned its turret and locked onto one of the speeding dog-like monsters.

But after running for a while, it turned around and rushed into the forest, let out an unwilling roar, and never came out again.

"Very clever." Raphael said after a long silence. She looked into Luhui's eyes, and they both understood each other.

By 9 o'clock in the evening, the replenishment of fuel and ammunition was basically completed, and the basic inspection and maintenance of armored vehicles was almost finished.

At this time, Colonel Lindsay sent an order: The "Enfield" team will continue to take on the task of pioneering the way and must enter the Bertel O. Steen Automobile Sales Center in the small town of Inner before dawn.

Raphael readily agreed and did not express any objections. Besides, if he did, Lindsay would only define him as "weak" and "deserting".

Secondly, even if they successfully arrived at the car sales center, they would definitely be ordered to check the road conditions of the tunnel section of the E16 Expressway.

This is a continuous task that cannot be refused.

If they refused, everyone in the task force would immediately become Lindsay's supporters. Moreover, the military would definitely not let them off easily - just because there were Soviets in the team.

No matter how you look at it, it is a serious matter that needs to be taken seriously. She understood this, so she agreed without hesitation.

She is not yet qualified to flirt with the Russians.

"How do you see it?" She said to her sisters, "The distance on the map is only 12 kilometers. If we walk along the road, it will take about four or five hours."

"What if we unfortunately encounter a tide of zombies or monsters?" Lingyin asked a key question.

"Run, across the farmland on the left side of the road and up the hill."

Of course, Raphael does have some good stuff in his hands.

She took out an old laptop, a watch and a pair of glasses from her bag, and all three of them lit up with a dark red light at the same time.

"This is..." Fei Niao thought for a moment and said with certainty, "This is equipment issued to agents by the Strategic Homeland Security Bureau. How come you have it? And it's been more than ten years old. How can it still be used?"

Raphael said angrily: "I have taken care of and maintained them, too!"

"The detection range of this thing is not large, and it is also very susceptible to interference. However, it is sufficient for early warning detection in a small area."

Fei Niao took the equipment and put on the glasses, and there were many more "Offline" prompts and reminders of missing components in his field of vision.

"So, only pulses are available?"

"Yes, I removed all the components that were not needed in exchange for battery life and better target search and processing capabilities."

"Then turn off your ECM." Fei Niao looked at Raphael sideways. Now a mess of things were jumping on her AR glasses.

"Oh."

Raphael said angrily that she really didn't want to turn off the electronic countermeasure system. This component can not only hinder the enemy's radar target detection, but also generate false targets in a targeted manner, consume the enemy's radar resources, and put it into an overload state.

The agents of the Homeland Security Agency suffered a great loss in the past because of this. False targets and strong interference made their pulse scans completely ineffective.

Most importantly, as the owner of the complete ruins core, her position must be well concealed.

If it weren't for the consideration of coordination with humans, Raphael would have activated the interference module for communications. If she were a battleship or fighter, she might also be equipped with an optoelectronic countermeasure subsystem.

It would be hopeless if she were put on board a warship.

KanColle sounds great, but in reality, all her actions must be under the command of others, and she becomes a complete war machine just like "Metis".

"I wish I had ECM too." Lingyin said deliberately as she passed by.

"She eats seven bags of MRE rations a day. Do you want to eat them too?" Fei Niao asked back, "You've become a glutton."

Luhui patted Fei Niao's shoulder and forced a smirk on his face: "Tsk...you are jealous."

"Stop talking, stop talking."

Raphael felt a little nauseous when he mentioned combat rations. He ate seven bags a day, and although the energy was sufficient, the taste module in his mouth was really in a state of overload and initialization.

The bird rolled its eyes, it was all its own fault.

"I'm going to scan, is it turned off?" she said.

"Shut down."

"ISAC, pulse scan, mark threat units."

After a moment, the synthetic female voice replied: "Mark threat: 02."

After Fei Niao saw the target rendered by the AR glasses, he immediately assigned the target. Two humanoids formed a team to deal with one ELID distorted creature, which was not a big problem.

The bad news is that if we continue walking at this speed, we may not be able to complete the 20-kilometer journey in one night.

The good news is that the equipment distributed by the Homeland Security Agency to the first batch of agents in New York is of good quality, with an effective scanning distance of 80 meters.

Without the restriction of human companionship, the advantages of humanoids can be maximized.

Raphael and Luhui rushed forward and almost shoved the gun barrel into the mouth of the monster that had mutated into a dog.

Lingyin and Fei Niao's fighting style was much more conservative. They first used flash grenades to make noises to attract attention, and then launched a sneak attack from behind. It was a completely despicable act.

As for the other troubles caused by the flash bomb explosion, they have no control over them and believe in the wisdom of future generations.

Anyway, the task force has tanks and armored vehicles. Unless a giant ELID deformed monster ten meters tall pops up, no zombies or monsters can stop them.

Why bother thinking about them.

Chapter 198: Being Bullied on Both Sides

Along the way, the battle reports sent back by Green Hui kept saying how difficult it was for the reconnaissance team to advance and that the fight with monsters was still going on.

In other words, she was using the radio to inform the people behind her that the Enfield team was fighting, not only showing heroism, but also killing a large number of monsters mutated by ELID.

But where exactly is it? She evaded the question with a vague description.

Even from the drone released by the Enfield team, only vague silhouettes of monsters could be seen, and no other characteristic terrain or buildings that could be used for positioning were visible.

Lieutenant Colonel Sumner and his Chief of Staff (XO) smiled at each other. Those four kids were not only smart, but also did things flawlessly. They completely eliminated the idea of ​​Joe Lindsay having any bad intentions.

However, they were almost certain that the four children were definitely looking for opportunities to create an accident.

It has been fifteen or sixteen years since they graduated from military school, and they have seen people with poor skills and qualities, but this is the first time they have seen such a bastard.

It’s amazing to have a father who is a general!

If Joe Lindsay knew they were thinking this, he would probably boast about it and say, "That's just amazing," Sumner guessed what Lindsay was thinking.

Both of them are "idiots" with no future. Becoming the chief officer of a battalion-level combat unit is almost the peak of their life. After two more years, the position of chief officer will be handed over to someone else.

The best outcome for both of them is to serve as a staff officer in a certain headquarters, and work their way up to the rank of colonel and retire in disgrace.

A career that you can see the end of at a glance is enough to make one feel despair.

They had no intention of getting involved in the open and covert fights between Joe Lindsay and the girls. According to the Rangers, the girls turned around and complained to others after being bullied.

In the early hours before dawn, before the troops set out, Sumner found his confidant, Jeff Felix, and ordered him to take two mine-resistant vehicles and set off ahead of time.

He secretly instructed: "Find the Enfield team as soon as possible, reunite with them, and do everything possible to provide the necessary assistance and cover."

Felix once again picked the "advance team members" who were tight-lipped without complaint, and told his fellow subordinates the whole story only after he got in the car and left the camp.

As the nominal supreme commander, Joe Lindsay was someone they could not afford to offend; the "Enfield" team was probably the little princess of the navy's top brass and no mistakes could be allowed.

There are now unclear and inexplicable contradictions between the two sides, which are very likely to escalate into mutual hostility and attacks.

Felix is ​​troubled by the current situation. There are also investigators from the Soviet Red Navy accompanying the team. He has to stabilize Lindsay and prevent him from losing his mind, and at the same time prevent the "Enfield" team from launching a "counterattack."

If things go wrong, the ones who will be affected in the end are the unlucky guys like them who are caught in the middle and are not accepted on either side.

Felix put away the tactical terminal, sighed, and leaned back in his seat. The engine of the mine-resistant vehicle roared, and his body swayed slightly with the vehicle.

In a daze, he thought of his newborn son, wondering helplessly and angrily why he had gotten into this mess.

The original three-month exploration and investigation mission was already halfway through. According to the mission timeline they had received before departure, they were still stuck in the first phase.

A feeling of powerlessness and weakness filled my whole body, and I didn't know how to end the current situation between the two parties.

At 9 a.m., Raphael sat on the floor of the 4S store manager's office and slept for a total of three hours, not in two sleeps, because at dawn, the guard came here and woke her up.

When she woke up, a large amount of cached data processed during hibernation had not been processed yet, making her head dizzy. She splashed some of the collected dew on her face, and then tightened the magic strap of her tactical vest.

It wasn't until she heard a hoarse roar outside that she woke up instantly.

"Zombies are coming."

With the rifle pressed against his shoulder, Raphael walked quickly to the reception hall of the sales building.
