Otherworld Girl Development Guide

A company of elite soldiers arrived at the underground ruins outpost.

They are currently the strongest individual assault force in the hands of the Rabbit. Every soldier is a first-class sergeant major and has been injected with the 1964 and 1967 enhancement drugs optimized by the Rabbit through research on the "Red Line".

These are all treasures, and these elites are very suitable for conducting a "quality war" in such a confined environment. This time, the war is about the quantity of ratmen.

The sergeants began to organize their equipment...

The second-generation fully enclosed exoskeleton armor, compared to the first generation, adds a weakened "charged armor" layer to the surface of the exoskeleton. It can completely ignore bullets smaller than 12.7mm and can also reduce the damage from 30mm caliber autocannons. However, while the second-generation exoskeleton armor can withstand the impact, the human body cannot, and it will cause internal bleeding.

Fighting in the underground network is almost always an encounter, with guns, submachine guns, flamethrowers, and large-caliber pistols all used.

These pistols use armor-piercing incendiary explosive rounds from 12.7mm heavy machine guns; basically, one shot is enough to kill any ratman.

In addition to these firearms, considering the possibility of running out of ammunition, sergeants were also equipped with combat daggers.

Firstly, it can finish off dying ratmen, reducing resource consumption; secondly, in certain environments, melee weapons are more suitable than long weapons.

Of course, cold weapons are only for emergencies. Although artificial intelligence cannot fight in complex environments, it is still fine for transporting supplies.

Sergeant majors only need to deploy "beacons" along the route, and these tracked supply vehicles will deliver supplies to them.

"Everyone, check your equipment..."

The company commander said in a deep voice, and after he finished speaking, the other sergeants began to check the condition of the second-generation exoskeleton armor.

Compared to the first-generation exoskeleton armor, the second generation has a longer battery life, as it can be charged by the heat generated by the human body itself, thus increasing its battery life.

The exoskeleton armor also features various external auxiliary modules to enhance battlefield adaptability.

Once the sergeants were ready for battle, the commander issued the combat orders.

"I am Commander Zhang Hao, and I now order the 'Black Cat Operation' to be executed."

With the commander giving the final order, the final phase of "Operation Rat Extermination" began.

At the entrance to the underground network, a number of driverless vehicles equipped with neurochemical agents began injecting these agents into the network...

Chemical defense soldiers wearing gas masks injected canister after can of chemical hypnotic gas into the underground network using pressurization devices.

The sergeant in charge of frontline command glanced at the augmented reality data projected onto his helmet through the pupil projector.

This augmented reality technology gives them the feeling of playing a shooting game, except that this game only gives you one life.

As the hypnotic gas was continuously injected, the rats in the underground network began to feel disoriented, and some of the weaker rats were even knocked unconscious...

"Time's up, let's move!"

The sergeant glanced at the time and, without hesitation, rushed into the underground network first.

Once inside the cave, the respirator on the helmet filters the hypnotic gas, and the advanced light spot system allows the sergeant major to see the interior of the cave clearly in low light conditions.

A sergeant major squad led the way, while several sergeant majors carrying large boxes acted as the rearguard. Every so often, they would deploy beacons on the walls to prevent them from getting lost underground, and also to guide the unmanned supply vehicles that followed, acting as communication relays.

Although there are only thirty sergeant majors, behind them is the support of the entire system.

Before they entered the underground network, technicians had already used blasting exploration to preliminarily determine the structure of the underground network and pointed out the direction for them to proceed.

With the help of maps and beacons, they could accurately determine their location and move towards the core of the underground world.

After advancing nearly a hundred meters, the sergeant at the front raised his fist, and the column came to an instant stop.

In infrared sensing mode, several heat sources appeared, one of which was lying on the ground in a hidden corner...

These were more than twenty ratmen paralyzed by hypnotic gas. The sergeant drew his combat dagger, stepped forward, and plunged it straight into the ratmen's hearts... cleanly and efficiently killing the paralyzed ratmen.

During the finishing blows, the sergeants discovered that some of the ratmen still retained some consciousness, but their nervous systems had been anesthetized, and their brains were unable to send commands to their bodies.

With a look of despair in his eyes, he watched as a sharp knife pierced his body.

"keep going!"

After eliminating the ratman squad acting as scouts, the sergeant waved for them to continue advancing.

The leading sergeants held shields with reactive armor modules attached to their surfaces. These modules, facing outwards, could be detonated either actively or passively, allowing the subterranean ratmen who wanted to engage in close combat to experience the thrill of an explosion.

After rounding the corner, the sergeants entered the true underground world...

With the aid of the beacon, the underground map inside the sergeant's helmet is constantly being updated and becoming more detailed.

The lead assault team, with shields in their left hands and large pistols loaded with 12 12.7mm rounds in their right, slowly explored forward.

In front of them, miniature quadcopter drones act as outposts.

After advancing several hundred meters and killing more than two hundred ratmen, the group stopped. In the underground cave, nearly a hundred listless ratmen looked around warily. Some torches placed in the corner brought light to this underground world.

"Commander, there's a situation..."

Inside the ground command center, the commander, who was constantly monitoring the sergeant's movements, asked, "What happened?"

"The concentration of hypnotic gas in the air is decreasing..." The sergeant glanced at the air data and said in a deep voice, "...We need to advance another kilometer."

Upon hearing this, the commander immediately frowned. Although the staff had tried to underestimate the effect of the "hypnotic gas" as much as possible, there was still some error. This was normal, after all, battlefield conditions are not always satisfactory, and sometimes the environment can cause the battle plan to fail.

Are you confident?

The commander asked softly, indicating that if the battlefield environment was too complex, he was already planning to have the sergeants retreat and revise the battle plan.

China is not a stubborn world power like some other superpower. Unless there is no other way out, it will not take the risk of refusing to fight back.

The sergeant didn't answer. Instead, he observed the information being fed back from the miniature drone and glanced at the map. Ahead was a cave, which was also a major gathering place for the ratmen.

Underground warfare differs from ground warfare, leaning more towards urban combat/encounter battles, and the Skaven have a far greater understanding of the terrain than the Sergeant Major.

Many powerful weapons would be unusable, and if the passage were to collapse, it would be a disaster.

If something happens underground, it's basically a death sentence.

After repeatedly confirming the deployment of the ratmen, the sergeant major roughly drafted the assault plan.

"Yes, but I can't guarantee there won't be any casualties..."

"Action!" Trusting the sergeant, the commander gave the order to attack.

The sergeant in charge issued orders using sign language, and the other sergeants, after confirming their tasks, prepared for battle.

Although the hypnotic gas here cannot directly paralyze the ratmen, it does weaken their reaction ability to a certain extent, which is equivalent to applying a large debuff.

Next, you need to run 3km through the complex underground environment and take out all the ratmen you encounter.

The primary objective of this operation is to eliminate the ratmen's fighting force, such as the female ratmen primarily responsible for "production"...

After all, wiping out an entire subterranean ratman population is not something that can be done in a short time; it's like slowly cutting flesh with a dull knife.

The gunner removed the fragmentation rockets, while the other sergeants prepared for battle... The ratmen's hearing and sense of smell far surpass those of humans, so they can only use long-range attacks; deploying unmanned suicide vehicles would allow them to detect them.

After marking the areas where the female ratmen were concentrated, the company commander suddenly waved his hand forward, and the gunners hiding behind cover peeked out, picked up rocket launchers, and fired a salvo. Then they picked up a second launcher and fired another salvo... Afterwards, they threw away the empty launchers and joined the assault.

The rocket crashed straight into the ratmen's settlement, shattering the underground peace with its airburst.

Flames, steel balls, and shrapnel covered the cave floor, killing and injuring nearly a hundred ratmen. Then, the teacup drones launched their first attack.

Under the onslaught of small self-destructing drones and spider mines, the already severely nervous rat-man erupted into chaos, like a rat's nest encountering a cat...

"A lump of iron! Amazing! Amazing!"

Some female ratmen panicked and ran deeper into the cave, as they had to ensure their survival to ensure the continuation of their species.

The sergeant first spotted these production units, but they hadn't gone far when they were blown up by a second round of rockets, killing hordes of female ratmen.

Other ratmen charged toward the sergeants, using a near-suicidal charge to cover the female ratmen's retreat.

"Nothing there! DEA..."

Before the ratman leader could finish speaking, a 12.7mm bullet blasted his upper body into a bloody mist.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

In rhythmic bursts of fire, the sergeant major, holding a shield, blasted the charging ratmen to smithereens. At the same time, several flat, unmanned vehicles equipped with short-barreled submachine guns were positioned forward to provide fire support for the infantry.

*Bang!* A flare was launched into the sky, and the sudden light blinded the ratmen who were used to the darkness.

Rat-a-tat-tat... Under the crossfire, the blinded ratmen were harvested by bullets like leeks.

The sergeants formed a dense assault formation, providing mutual cover, and quickly launched a fierce and relentless attack on the ratmen.

Submachine guns sprayed at the distant ratmen, and once they got closer, they were bombarded with shotgun shells. Some ratmen that were further away were bombarded with white phosphorus rockets by the gunners.

White phosphorus rockets exploded above the ratmen's heads, and dazzling fireworks bloomed underground. The terrifying white phosphorus shrapnel burned through the ratmen's skin, flesh, and bones, allowing them to experience the terrifying passion of the upright apes from the inside out.

The layered barrage of fire left the underground ratmen disoriented, and when the sergeant wielding a flamethrower charged forward, the ratmen's nightmare began.

They wore special exoskeletons fitted with heat-resistant tiles; when they pulled the trigger, raging flames shot forward, setting one ratman after another ablaze...

The sticky incendiary agent clung to the ratmen's bodies, and no matter how much they struggled, they couldn't extinguish the flames on their bodies. Their fur became the best accelerant, and some of the burning ratmen burrowed into the camp, setting it ablaze.

At this moment, the ratmen's purgatory descended.

Chapter 320 Touch One

Blazing flames erupted from the flamethrower, and the fire dragon devoured ratmen one after another, setting them ablaze.

Amidst screams that were unlike those of a human, the ratman struggled for only a moment before collapsing to the ground, motionless. His corpse was slowly consumed by flames and turned into charcoal.

Animals' fear of fire is instinctive, and the flamethrower amplified this fear, causing the ratmen's morale to collapse instantly. They screamed and ran inside.

Some Skaven leaders tried to revive the broken Skaven, but their efforts were in vain and almost made them targets for the sergeant major, who took out these important targets with QN202 missiles.

An hour later, the entire cave had turned into an underground BBQ, with charred rat-men corpses strewn everywhere.

The projector prompted the sergeant to activate the oxygen cylinder. The oxygen in the air was being rapidly consumed. The sergeant connected the oxygen cylinder to his helmet to prevent himself from suffering from hypoxia.

"Sure enough... there are other ventilation openings in the cave. Let's rest for twenty minutes and then continue."

The company commander in charge glanced at the oxygen concentration in the air and gave the order. The underground cave designed by the ancient civilization was excellent, and the air circulation system allowed the rat people to rest easy.

The sergeants chose a relatively flat area as their resting place, checked their weapons and equipment, prepared for the upcoming battle, and waited for supplies to arrive.

As they entered the underground network tunnels, three tracked unmanned supply vehicles, guided by beacons, slowly advanced through the tunnels toward the location of the sergeants.

Driven by a high-performance brushless motor, the drone carrying the supplies slowly appeared at the entrance of the cave, leisurely drove up to the sergeants, and finally came to a stop.

The sergeants quickly stepped forward to check the status of the unmanned vehicle and used the identification code to open the locked transport container of the unmanned vehicle and take out the supplies inside.

After replacing ammunition and oxygen cylinders, refueling the flamethrowers, and installing new drones, the unmanned supply vehicle carefully cleaned the battlefield, loaded some objects that appeared to be artifacts from an ancient civilization into its cargo hold, and then slowly drove back in the direction it had come from.

"Continue advancing in five minutes!" the commander issued a new order.
