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

Chapter 133 Bombs
While waiting for the representatives of the Ring Merchants to arrive, Chen Jian had been reviewing where his strange intuition came from.

The first suspicious thing that came to his mind was that the Ring Chamber of Commerce tried to contact them proactively.

Logically speaking, they are just businessmen, and businessmen pursue profits.

The task has been issued but the contract has not been completed. Why would they pay so much attention to this matter and to the opponents who are executing the contract?
Although their reason was that "they received information about Caohe Town in Wuxue Town and asked the team for specific details", which seemed reasonable, Chen Jian always felt that this behavior was a bit abrupt.

The Ring Merchants always gave him the impression of being quite calm, but in the eyes of other people, their actions were also quite mysterious.

Would such a mysterious organization suddenly start paying attention to an insignificant town?
Even if there was a demon camp there that was destroyed, even if the one who destroyed the demon camp was one of our partners.

But the matter is over now, is there any need for them to ask?

Putting himself in other people's shoes, Chen Jian felt that if he were in their shoes, there would only be two reasons for him to actively seek contact in this situation.

Otherwise, it is believed that the partner’s actions have exceeded the scope of the contract and brought uncontrollable risks.

Otherwise, you know that this "small matter" is not actually a small matter.

Judging from Wang Lizi's tone on the radio, he was not dissatisfied with his team's actions.

That is to say, they are very likely aware of the true situation in Anqing, and of course they also know the connection between the demons in Caohe Town and the demons in the Anqing ruins.

If that's the case, then things are complicated.

Chen Jian subconsciously rubbed the trigger of the 191 in his hand and began to sort out the entire process of his contact with the Ring Chamber of Commerce from beginning to end.

They took the initiative to contact the other party, gained their initial trust with a batch of equipment, and then naturally proposed a transaction method and issued a task-based contract, which was naturally set up around their trade routes.

The evil beast in Wuxue Town is obviously connected to Anqing, but the unexpected point lies in Caohe River.

They could not have expected that the team would go to Caohe, nor could they have expected that the team would discover the source of the demons through clues in the demon camp.

If they want to control all this in advance, then they must cut off the water route to Anqing.——
and many more.

Was it a coincidence or a necessity that our team was advancing along the land route?
Chen Jian suddenly realized that no matter what the circumstances, no matter how many times he had to do it again, he would definitely choose the land route again.

There are too many uncertainties when traveling by water, and the team's most important equipment, the cat-car, is difficult to load onto the ship without being discovered by the Mechanicus and the Basilica of the Holy Blood.

Land is our home turf, and we will instinctively avoid high-risk waterways.

so.
The actions of the team were actually expected by the Ring Chamber of Commerce?
Chen Jian frowned and then explained his speculation to the others.

This speculation was quickly accepted, but the question is, why did they do this?
".They could have directly explained to us the actual situation in Anqing, but they deliberately concealed key information. Why?"

"They want to use the horrors in Anqing to kill us? Isn't this too ridiculous? Do they think we will just kill them directly after arriving in Anqing without any reconnaissance?"

"Don't even mention us. No combat-capable group in the world would be so stupid."

After Chen Jian finished speaking, Ji Xing shook his head and said:
"They've always been like this."

"I don't think this is a dangerous sign. It's just that they are trying to squeeze the most value out of you."

"When we accepted their mission and headed to the mountain city, it was probably the same process."

"We didn't know we were going to the mountain city, but one mission after another led us there."

"When we finally realized it, it was already too late - no, I'm not saying we couldn't leave, but in terms of consciousness, everyone had fallen into a kind of frenzy."

"It's as if they are controlling our minds. Anyway, we can't wait to take a look inside the mountain city."

"That's why so many Saint Blood people lost their lives when that level one monster appeared."

"So they are using some kind of foot-in-the-door effect to increase the success rate of the mission."

He Shuo said thoughtfully:

"But we can't rule out the possibility that they are using us. How about confronting them?"

"Being not."

Chen Jian shook his head and said:
“They use us, and we can use them.”

"Anqing had to be beaten, and Huadu had to be beaten."

"But before the fight starts, we can ask for more chips."

As he was speaking, Wang Lizi's call came through Chen Jian's radio.

Several people looked at each other and immediately ended the topic they were discussing.

Afterwards, Chen Jian confirmed the information of the representatives who had arrived with Wang Lizi via radio, and Wang Lizi provided them with a new meeting address.

A small settlement just a few kilometers north of Anqing City.

".There is a small warehouse there, which stores some special equipment we collected while traveling as traders."

"If the situation is as serious as you say, then we can pay you in advance."

"But the premise is that you must continue to carry out the mission, eliminate the terrifying demons in the Anqing ruins, and clean up the place completely."

"Anyway, let's go to the warehouse first."

"Once you get there, you can decide whether to continue."

After disconnecting the radio, Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he was finally sure that the other party must be aware of the situation of the Anqing ruins.

They even prepared their equipment in advance.

But it's okay.

You feel like you are taking advantage of us, but in fact, the exploitation is mutual.

"Let's go, pack up our equipment and prepare to head to the warehouse."

"Now that they are here, let them do something."

"We were also going to spread the news about Anqing and Huadu, but now it seems that it's best if this news doesn't get out of our reach."

"Let the Ring Chamber of Commerce do it. They are the best at this kind of thing!"

An hour later, the team arrived at the warehouse that Wang Lizi mentioned.

A representative of the Yuanhuan Chamber of Commerce was already waiting at the door, and his style was completely different from other members of the Yuanhuan Chamber of Commerce that Chen Jian had met before.

He was taciturn, quiet and gloomy, and didn't even say a few words from beginning to end.

After briefly confirming the identities of Chen Jian and others, he opened the door of the warehouse and let them in.

"Pick whatever you like."

The man spoke:
"The materials inside are under level 2 control at most. You are responsible for all of their allocation."

"all?"

Chen Jian asked in astonishment:

"Such a large warehouse, is it all given to us?"

“It’s a loan.”

After he finished speaking, Ji Xing subconsciously looked in the direction of Chen Jian.

Wow, the example you gave not long ago has been implemented directly now?
If someone really gives you a weapon, why don't you use it? ?
Chen Jian looked at the warehouse guard with some suspicion, but after walking into the warehouse and taking a quick look around, his doubts were slightly alleviated.

This warehouse is indeed very large, but after all, it is not that exaggerated.

The huge storage space is filled with a large number of low-value items, including but not limited to food, materials, and various common goods for trading.

Only a very small part of the weapons or equipment can truly meet the current needs of the team, and in terms of size, it does not seem to be very large.

However, the types are quite diverse.

In addition to the common grenades and rocket launchers, the first thing Chen Jian discovered was a batch of extended-range mortar shells suitable for PBP201.

The number was not too many, but there were 26 shells in total. "All these shells should be packed up and taken away."

Chen Jian said:
"It just so happens that we have run out of mortar shells. We will keep 12 shells and send the remaining 14 shells back to Yellowstone City to replenish long-range strike firepower."

"no problem."

He Shuo nodded first, then asked:

"Is it necessary to keep 12 rounds? It would be better to send them all back to Yellowstone City."

"This type of small-scale killing weapon is too limited in its effect on the battle that may occur next. It has little value either strategically or tactically."

"Why not just treat it as a bargain and collect some insurance premiums in advance?"

".That can't be said."

Chen Jian shook his head and said:
“Although it’s difficult, the problem of the Anqing ruins is not completely unsolvable.”

"It's impossible for 10 people to surround 4000 people, but what if we first decapitate the key targets in the ruins, completely disperse these terrifying demons, and destroy them piece by piece?"

"Once they lose their organization, their combat effectiveness will probably be no stronger than those converts we have seen before."

"So, long-range support weapons are still necessary."

"You need to open your mind and stop thinking about annihilating everyone at once. Do you think the enemy is an Indian? Do you think you can surrender?"

".Too."

He Shuo paused, and suddenly said:
"Beheading is still too gentle for them. Just kill them all if you can."

".You are a bit radical."

Chen Jian shook his head helplessly, then looked at the other box of weapons placed next to the mortar shells.

When they opened the lid, they saw a 201 aircraft inside.

From the color point of view, it seems to be still new, without much signs of oxidation.

But it's hard to say how useful this thing is.

Chen Jian subconsciously reached out to grab the weapon, but as soon as he picked it up, he found that the weight was a little wrong.

He frowned slightly, turned on his tactical flashlight, and then said in astonishment:
"Damn, weapons station!"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Shao looked over.

The two men lifted the contents of the box and placed them on the ground, only to find that there was a huge spherical device connected to the back of Flight 201!

This is undoubtedly the weapons station.

A weapon station that uses Flight 201 as its firepower output.

But the problem is that the shape of this thing doesn't look like something that can be mounted on a vehicle.

After observing for a while, Chen Jian came to a conclusion.

"This is not an ordinary weapon station. This is a fixed intelligent weapon outpost."

"This is defensive equipment! I don't know where it was taken from!"

“Automated?”

He Shuo asked in surprise.

"It is very likely that it is an automated defense weapon equipped with an AI module."

"This is good stuff. Open all the boxes and see how many there are in total!"

"understand!"

Everyone took action immediately. After all the covered boxes were opened, they found a total of 4 weapon outposts.

One of them was obviously damaged, its internal structure was in a mess, even the chip was exposed and half broken.

However, if three can be repaired.

"This should also be taken away first and given to Lei Jie."

"If it can be repaired, we can have three more firepower points out of thin air, and our tactical depth can be further improved!"

"understand!"

Zeng Yi marked the boxes, while Chen Jian, together with He Shuo and Ji Xing, moved the stacked boxes away, revealing the largest box on the bottom layer.

He didn't know what was in these big boxes, but his intuition told him that the things inside were definitely not simple.

And this is indeed the case.

When He Shuo pried open the lid of the wooden box and saw what was inside, they were both dumbfounded.

"Fuck, bombs!"

He Shuo whispered.

"It's an old bomb, a Cluster-4, 250 kg bomb."

"This thing is specially designed to block the airport, covering an area of more than 500 meters."

"It's very destructive, but unfortunately, we can't get this thing to a high enough altitude to detonate it."

Chen Jian said with a little regret.

“There are other models.”

He Shuo pointed to the box beside him and said:
“250-3高阻力杀爆航弹，50-2高阻弹.50-2是老古董中的老古董了吧，这还能用？”

"That's impossible to say."

Chen Jian sighed:
"The rusty bombs left over from World War II could explode. This thing looks well preserved, with not much rust on the surface. It must have been dug out from an underground fortification."

"It's hard to say how powerful it is, but it will definitely explode."

“This 250-3 is in better condition and is definitely usable.”

"The killing radius of this shot should be around 150 meters, which is more than enough to destroy a terror camp."

"But the problem remains: we lack effective means of delivery."

"The Anqing ruins don't have the same geographical advantages as those outside Huangshi City. If we can't use the river to drift and deliver it, this thing will be a giant mine in our hands."

"What a pity! Even if we had a helicopter, it would be great."

Chen Jian sighed regretfully, but He Shuo shook his head and said:
"Without Zhang the butcher, do we have to eat hairy pigs?"

"There is always a way to solve the delivery problem. It's not easy to find such a large-yield explosive."

"No wonder the Ring Chamber of Commerce said it was a Level 2 controlled device - maybe they've blown up a few before."

"Indeed. Anyway, mark them all first. There are a total of 6 bombs here, and we want them all."

"If it doesn't work, when we surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements, the mines will be enough to give them a hard time."

"Any other useful equipment?"

"Nothing."

He Shuo shook his head and replied:
"We don't have a lot of ammunition, probably around 1,000 or 2,000 rounds, so we can just replenish it."

"Okay. Let's withdraw."

Chen Jian waved his hand decisively, and then said:
"As equipment is updated, tactics must also be updated."

"In the next battle, we will try our best to focus on these bombs!"
