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

Chapter 207 Genius’ Idea

Chen Jian did not kill them all.

After all, if we really have to talk about serious sins, we can only blame the people in Huadu’s top management.

Although other civilians also have problems, at least they still have some passivity of being oppressed and "forced to do so".

Regardless of their life or death, Chen Jian had no psychological burden at all.

But I just can't bear to kill them all.

If you commit murder for no reason, one day you will get yourself into trouble.

He is not really the Chosen One of Khorne!
So, Chen Jian simply "expelled" them.

But what he didn't expect was that these female demons in the Flower City were unwilling to leave.

They seemed to have determined that Chen Jian and others would not take their lives, or perhaps they really had nowhere else to go.

Even when faced with the cold muzzles of guns, they simply retreated behind the woods. Once the muzzles of the guns were moved away, they timidly stuck their heads out again.

Ji Xing, who was in charge of the expulsion, looked at the scene helplessly, turned to Chen Jian and asked:

"Captain, what should I do?"

"What else can we do? Just pack them up and throw them into Jinling City."

"It is absolutely impossible for these people to stay. They are a huge destabilizing factor."

"We have more than a hundred people here, and we can't absorb so many prostitutes."

"Jinling City is different - maybe they are still short of it."

".That's true."

Ji Xing's eyes flickered a few times, and finally nodded.

"What, sympathize with them?"

". A little bit. The evil done by Huadu is ultimately borne by them."

"I'm sorry, Captain. I..."

"Nothing to apologize for."

Chen Jian waved his hand and said:
“A gentleman cannot bear to see a man die when he sees him alive, and cannot bear to eat his flesh when he hears his cry.”

"It's right to be compassionate, but in this world, our reason must prevail over our emotions."

"They have three options. Either they stay in 011 and cause chaos here after a while, and then be executed as criminals; or they are driven out of 011 and die at the hands of monsters in the wilderness; or they go to Jinling. No matter what, at least they can survive."

"This is the rational choice, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Ji Xing answered solemnly, and Xie Liu beside him nodded thoughtfully.

Use reason to control emotions instead of erasing them?
This is completely different from what the Temple of the Holy Blood taught them, but it is clear at a glance who is superior and who is inferior.

"Okay, we're ready to go."

"The road is long, we must hurry."

"So, what car do you take?"

"I want to ride in a tank!"

Li Shi, who was standing by, immediately came out, and Chen Jian replied helplessly:
"The space in 30A is designed to accommodate three people. If you go in alone, it will be full and you won't be able to sit down."

"You can either take the Warrior or the truck. Take your pick."

".Then take the Warrior."

Li Shi replied with a little disappointment, and Lei Jie, who was checking the tank equipment, took the opportunity to say:

"You don't have to sit on it, but this round trip will probably require maintenance at least twice. I'll let you repair it for fun then."

“Only two maintenance sessions?”

Chen Jian was surprised:
"I thought we had to repair it as we went along."

"That's not the case. This thing was originally designed based on the concept of distributed warfare. Each system has a relatively high margin. It's not as fragile as the tanks we used to drive."

"Its single-vehicle unsupported combat radius should be around 350 kilometers. We now have a truck for support, so there shouldn't be much of a problem."

"clear."

Chen Jian nodded and waved his hand:
"Then get in the car."

"Fuxi, are the other vehicles ready?"

"finished."

Fuxi's voice sounded in my ears.

"Taking into account the complexity of the mission and the inaccessibility of supplies, I have expanded the number of supply trucks from 4 to 7."

"Unmanned combat equipment, supplies, spare parts, ammunition, maintenance equipment, and micro base station equipment have all been packed and loaded, and the weapon system has been inspected."

"Commander, we can set off now."

"clear."

Chen Jian boarded the Mengshi and sat in the co-pilot seat, while Xie Liu took the driver's seat. After stepping on the accelerator, the Mengshi rushed out suddenly.

Following closely behind, trucks, cat cars and finally tanks drove out one after another.

This huge team drove out of the 011 base in an unmatched manner, and behind them, the Chinese Army and their "family members" lined up in an orderly manner, watching them leave.

Smoke and dust rolled up and then gradually dissipated.

In the distance, the refugees watched this incredibly large group leave. They seemed to realize that something big was about to happen. They wanted to ask, but did not dare to get closer.

Only when the team completely disappeared did Shen Yue walk up to them.

"From today on, I will take over Comrade Ji Xing's job. I will be responsible for all your chip distribution and exchange matters. You can contact me directly."

"As the saying goes, the more you work, the more you earn."

"If you are not feeling well, please bring it up in time. As long as you have enough chips in your hand, you can rest."

"Thank you, sir!"

The refugees quickly bowed to thank Shen Yue. They had been trained by Ji Xing not to kneel anymore, which made Shen Yue very satisfied.

He nodded slightly, and just as he was about to leave, someone among the refugees suddenly shouted:
"grown ups!"

Shen Yue turned around and saw a woman looking at him with a slightly bitter expression and said:
"Mrs. Ji Xing said before that she would give us new chips to exchange for white porridge without meat."

"Now that Master Ji Xing is gone, will there still be any leverage?"

Shen Yue was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Ji Xing did this.

You haven’t even figured out the rationing system yet, and you’re already thinking about building a monetary system?
But when he saw the thin child in the woman's arms, he instantly understood Ji Xing's promise.

Meat porridge is nutritious.

But it is difficult for a woman to support herself and her children by working.

So he opened his mouth and replied:

“No new chips needed.”

"Come and register with me. You and your child will be counted as one person, and I will provide you with second-rate food."

“This is better. This is better.”

The woman nodded repeatedly, but the male refugees who were watching coldly had no reaction at all.

Shen Yue smiled slightly and said nothing more.

But at this moment, the child in the woman's arms suddenly asked:
"My Lord, will they come back?"

"of course."

Shen Yue answered without hesitation:

“They’re going to bring something new.”

“So I hope you will work hard as well.”

“Let them see something new when they come back.”

The child nodded heavily and answered loudly:
"Yes! Your lord!"

The convoy headed north. Chen Jian carefully observed the latest map provided by Fuxi, marked the location and said:

"Our first stop is Zhuolu City, which is our first camping spot today."

“It’s 240 kilometers away and has multiple highway connections.”

"The surrounding road network is dense, and there are many alternative routes, so the travel speed should not be too slow."

"It's 10 a.m. now. If everything goes well, we should be able to reach Zhuolu at 18: p.m."

"I have sent a message to He Shuo, asking him to arrange a place for us to stay through Zhang Tao."

"However, Zhuolu City was just robbed by Huadu not long ago, so the situation should not be optimistic."

"We have to be prepared. If the situation in the city is unstable, we will not go in and will just rest in the surrounding area." "The drones will be on the lookout. If any potential danger is found, it will be eliminated as directly as possible."

"clear."

"receive."

Lei Jie, Xie Liu and others responded one by one, while Huang Meng, the squad leader of the Huaxia Army's first squad, paused for a few seconds before finally adapting to the use of the exoskeleton assigned to him, and then replied happily:

"Got it, Captain!"

Chen Jian looked back with amusement, then said:

"Just sit behind me and don't shout so loudly."

Huang Meng smiled awkwardly and spoke again:

"Report to the head of the group, I am a little excited."

"I didn't expect that my first trip far away would be to the Northern Expedition!"

"Then you really got it."

Chen Jian said with a smile:
"Be alert and don't get too excited."

"If there is any battle, don't rush forward. You must obey my orders. Do you understand?"

"Understood! Commander! Follow your orders!"

"Okay, very spirited!"

Chen Jian nodded with satisfaction, and at this moment, Fuxi's voice suddenly came from the headphones.

"We are about to enter an uninhabited dangerous area. Comprehensive intelligence shows that there are no large human settlements near the 60-kilometer road ahead. There are suspected signs of monster activity. Please be vigilant."

"receive."

Everyone's expression instantly became serious, and Huang Meng immediately lowered his head to look at the PDA screen, trying to find any danger signs about the monster.

But it is obvious that he can't do what Fuxi can't do.

After searching in vain, he raised his head again, and at this time, the convoy had officially entered the no-man's land.

Xie Liu, who was driving, slowed down the car slightly and said:

"Captain, the map provided by Fuxi shows that the road conditions ahead are relatively poor. We have to slow down to ensure the order of the convoy."

"No problem, how long do you expect it to take?"

“It is expected to be completed in 3 hours.”

"clear."

Chen Jian's eyes turned slightly, and the sighting system integrated in the helmet immediately activated the telescopic mode. Looking out the window, he saw a dense forest with heat signals of many small animals, but no large monsters were found.

“Are there any legends about monsters around here?”

"Have."

Ji Xing interrupted on the radio:
"There is a monster called Kuiniu nearby, it should be level three."

"It is very active, but its range of activity is relatively small and it rarely leaves its territory."

"Merchants occasionally use the trade routes that pass through this area, but they always come in and out quickly, and there have been no problems for a long time."

"Let's go straight ahead. There shouldn't be any danger."

"Do not."

Chen Jian shook his head subconsciously, and then said:
"Let's not go straight over there."

"Fuxi, find it!"

"Understood. The drone search area has been expanded."

After the words fell, Ji Xing asked in astonishment:
"Why do we need to actively hunt? Besides wasting ammunition, this shouldn't do us any good, right?"

"There are benefits."

Chen Jian held the joystick of the remote weapon station and said:

"Although we don't have a clear idea of the cause of the beast tide, it is very likely that the beast tide is related to the so-called 'monster vacuum zone'."

“The more concentrated the vacuum area, the more uniform the direction of migration.”

"The more unified the migration direction, the more likely a beast tide will occur."

"So, we have to break this rule and expand the scope of the vacuum zone."

"On the other hand, it's easier to deal with one monster than to fight thousands of them at the same time."

"If we can divide and conquer the monsters, the pressure when the beast tide comes will be much less."

"genius."

Lei Jie on the side sighed and said:

"Tell me, why couldn't the Mechanicus think of such a good idea before?"

".That's probably because they don't have tanks."

Ji Xing's resentful voice came from the headphones, and at this moment, Fuxi suddenly called the police.

"Traces of a large monster were found 34 kilometers northwest. The image has been sent back. Please check it."

"clear."

Chen Jian immediately projected the drone image onto the smart eyepiece, and the moment the image unfolded, he also saw the shape of the huge monster.
-
It is not the form of the "Kui Niu" mentioned in the legend of Shan Hai Jing.

But it does look like some kind of "beast".

The four sturdy legs are covered with black armor like a rhinoceros and a thick layer of keratin.

The two horns were short and thick, as if they had been worn down by the constant impact of the bull against the rocks.

Its height is at least 15 meters, and its body length reaches an astonishing meters.

Standing there, it looks just like a small hill.

What is even more amazing is its incredibly fast speed.

Logically, the larger your body size, the greater the pressure on your muscles and bones.

As long as it is a carbon-based organism, the density and strength of these two will always have a limit.

With a body size of this size, its speed shouldn't be very fast.

But it was charging through the forest, as if it was not hindered by its huge size at all.

"It looks very similar to the bullfrog I saw in Hanshui before."

Chen Jian spoke calmly, and then said:

"Lei Jie, 30A, get within 3 kilometers, occupy the commanding heights, use the main gun to kill directly!"

"understand!"

Lei Jie replied immediately, and then a series of complex yet simple combat operations began to unfold.

The convoy accelerated, the drone locked onto Kuiniu's position, and the fire control system automatically calculated the trajectory.

Immediately afterwards, the automatic loader completed loading a tungsten core armor-piercing bullet and locked the breech block ready to fire.

"Reloading complete!"

"Arrived at the designated combat position!"

"Roger that. Shoot straight! Go through it!"

"understand!"

An order was given, followed by a loud bang.

"boom!"

The fin-stabilized armor-piercing discarding sabot projectile flew out of the barrel and headed straight for the monster at an extremely high initial velocity of over 2200 meters per second.

It moves very quickly.

But no matter what, it can't be faster than this shell!
"boom!"

The shell hit the target.

Immediately afterwards, a blood hole with a diameter of nearly two meters appeared on the huge body of Kuiniu.

"Second round, fire!"

"boom!"

The second shell followed closely.

The monster was no longer able to stand up.

After this shell, Huang Meng, who was observing the monster's movements through a drone, was stunned where he was.

This was the first time he saw a tank in combat.

It was also the first time he realized that there were weapons in the wasteland that could have a "crushing advantage" over monsters.
