Chapter 146 on the road
There were not many supplies left in the camp. With the efforts of a group of soldiers, they were quickly packed and sealed, and completely moved to the convoy.
Not long after Ling Chen and the others got into the car, all the soldiers got into other cars respectively. Then the command car moved and the entire convoy started to set off.
…………
In addition to the six of them, there were also several surviving Aboriginal people staying in the truck that Ling Chen was in.
Ling Chen said nothing and quietly observed his surroundings.
There are a total of eight trucks in the entire convoy, and only two trucks are used to carry civilians, including the one Ling Chen is in.
The other five vehicles were filled with soldiers and supplies. As for the last one, it was deliberately covered with an opaque black cloth, making it impossible to see what was inside.
In addition to the trucks, there are five armed off-road vehicles, plus a Humvee used as a command vehicle, making up the entire convoy.
Perhaps because they wanted to reach the dock as quickly as possible, the convoy drove very fast.
The cold wind outside swept into the carriage, causing the few thinly-clad survivors to shiver.
Noticing that there were aborigines next to him, Ling Chen deliberately lowered his voice to the lowest level and said softly:
"It turns out that the camp just now has been abandoned by the army. No wonder we can't find any living people or supplies in that future period."
Dean smiled softly when he heard this, shrugged and said:
"In vain at the time, we thought the place had been captured. We wasted ten minutes on guarding against zombies that might rush out. Who knew that in the end, nothing escaped."
After hearing these words, Ling Chen also had a wry smile on his face. He pointed to the truck next to him and said calmly:
"Have you noticed? It's just like the introduction at the beginning. The level of technology here is very high. The equipment on those soldiers is obviously a level higher than that of our world. The military power should be quite good."
The truck Ling Chen was in had a rather simple design. The passenger part was not so much a compartment as an open shelf.
There are only a few rows of seats above, but there are no canopies.
Only a few iron railings were built to prevent the passengers on the truck from losing balance and falling out of the truck when it made a sharp turn.
In this way, there is no obstruction, which means that people inside the carriage can have a clear view of the situation outside.
From Lingchen's angle, they could clearly see the equipment worn by the soldiers outside.
Each of them was seen wearing an exoskeleton armor glowing with metal.
The thick but not bulky armor vest is inlaid with a crystal that emits a faint blue light at the heart, which serves as a power source.
Extending from the back of the vest, four metal branches that resemble human arm bones are tightly fastened to the user's limbs, providing additional energy and power for the movement of the limbs.
Finally, there is a helmet with communication and auxiliary functions, forming a complete set of powered armor.
Ling Chen noticed these things. Dean, who was sitting next to him, had no reason not to see them. He said word by word:
"Although I have heard in reality that some countries are researching exoskeleton armor, but as far as I know, those are still in the research stage and cannot be put into use yet."
"And have you seen the rifle held by the soldier? I have never seen a similar type. It seems... the power should be quite high."
Ling Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and continued:
"In this way, with the protection of these soldiers, it should be much easier for us on the next journey."
After Ling Chen finished his sentence, the convoy just turned a corner, and the Hummer at the front reported the road conditions through the radio:
"Wait a minute, there's a situation ahead!"
The commanding army grabbed the loudspeaker and shouted loudly:
"Attention, there are zombies a hundred meters ahead. There are no special infected ones visually. Everyone, be careful, enemy attack!"
This announcement caught the attention of Ling Chen and Dean. For a moment, they didn't care to continue chatting and turned to look ahead.
I saw a large group of zombies, as if they had emerged out of thin air, and suddenly filled the field of vision. They stood in groups in front of the convoy, slowly approaching slowly.
The loudspeakers in all the vehicles rang with the sound of electric current.
Immediately afterwards, the commander's calm voice came, and he comforted:
"Don't panic, everyone. These are just ordinary zombies and can be easily broken through."
After saying this, the entire convoy stopped in unison.
Immediately, several Cajun and off-road vehicles opened their doors.
Soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor quickly ran down.
The weight of the armor is not light, and coupled with the weight of the soldiers themselves, when they land from the vehicle, they often make a very heavy "dong dong" sound, and even leave an obvious footprint on the sand!
The number of soldiers who came out at this time was no more than thirty.
There are as many as a hundred zombies in front of us. Under normal circumstances, such a disparity in numbers is absolutely fatal!
Zombies have no sense of pain, fear, and they don't even know what it means to retreat.
If a hundred zombies swarmed up, it would be impossible for only thirty people to withstand them...
But don't forget that these soldiers are not unarmed ordinary people, but wear the most innovative and sophisticated equipment and possess a power called technology!
They quickly pulled back and pulled out a firearm that looked somewhat similar to an Uzi submachine gun, but was slightly different in details.
The next second, the soldiers pointed their guns at the zombies and pulled the trigger hard!
The rate of fire of this gun is extremely fast. As soon as they pulled the trigger, the bullets formed a terrifying barrage in the space in front of them!
More importantly, it seems that this gun has been specially modified to adapt to the environment, and the sound of the bullet coming out of the chamber is extremely small.
It is basically completely different from those rifles in reality that make a deafening sound when fired.
Coupled with the advantage of high rate of fire, this group of soldiers can release bullets to their heart's content without making too much noise and accidentally attracting zombies from afar.
With the aiming assist function of the helmet and the strong arm strength provided by the exoskeleton power armor, this round of shooting showed extremely amazing accuracy!
Every bullet hits the target of the zombie's upper body, and even... not even one of them misses!
The bullets are as thin as a hair and are very easy to carry. Each magazine contains at least a hundred rounds of bullets.
Although the bullets are small, they often leave a hole as thick as an adult's finger after hitting the enemy, so their power is barely acceptable.
In less than three seconds, the soldiers silently released the trigger and stopped shooting.
The reason is simple. All the zombies in front of him have been shot and fell into a pool of blood.
After all the enemies were wiped out, there was no reason to continue shooting and waste bullets.
From the moment the convoy stopped, the corpses had only walked less than five meters, and they were already riddled with bullets.
Their upper bodies, including their heads, have become tattered, making people think of smashed watermelons.
After Ling Chen saw the soldiers' achievements, although the expression on his face didn't change much, his heart couldn't help but fluctuate, and he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.
He had a pretty good evaluation of the abilities of this group of soldiers in his heart.
