Chapter 213: And they'll come for you.

Zheng Jingfeng wears a watch given to him by his son, with a timer function.

Outside the clearing, in front of the facility's main control room, Zheng Jingfeng pressed his watch's control buttons a few times, and his wristwatch emitted a clear "fifteen-minute countdown", and the seconds ticked away, along with his heartbeat, as the seconds ticked away.

He held his gun, looked through the night vision scope at the row of mechanical warriors slowly appearing on the distant horizon, rolled the knots of his throat for a round, and said softly, "Come on, brats, have some fun with your grandpa."

Inside the control room, Xie Qingcheng was staring at the God of wind system screen, watching the number on it go up and up, one percent, 1.8 percent, two percent, 2.3 percent ......

From time to time, the voice of a HQ technician came into his headset, instructing him to enter some codes into the God of wind system to match the HQ's calculations.

The percentage is moving like a snail, slowly.

It's a bit of an anachronism, but Xie Qingcheng is inexplicably reminded of his childhood computer classes at this point.

He was born in the late eighties, and only in the sixth grade of elementary school was a microcomputer class set up. At that time, computers were not something that ordinary people could have in their homes, and computers in schools were of course very rare, with only two people at the same table being able to share one, and one had to wear disposable dust-proof shoe covers to enter the microcomputer classroom.

At that time, it was popular to buy floppy disks, which only had a storage capacity of 10mb to 30mb, and students were eager to copy a song or a few stills from a popular TV series during the free time in the microcomputer class. However, the free time was often very short, only five or six minutes after the teacher had finished his lecture and the students had finished their computer homework.

Such a short period of time, two people at the same table have to search for pictures or songs to download, with that old donkey pulling mill-like Internet speed, a song download will take half a day, often half of the song, the percentage is reading the bar it, the teacher has disconnected the total network, the song to download failed and ended.

Xie Qingcheng hadn't experienced such agitation for more than twenty years, but at this moment he was staring at the progress bar just as he did back then, hoping it would go faster and faster ......

Fifteen percent.

Twenty-five percent ......

Outside, sudden bursts of gunfire rang out.

Xie Qingcheng knew that the robot soldiers had gotten within Zheng Jingfeng's range, and the battle outside had already begun.

Zheng Jingfeng was at the door, and despite the absence of the God of wind system, he was able to identify this group of robotic warriors as some of the most common "soldiers" on the island, with little mobility, defense, or intelligence.

Zheng Jingfeng was slightly relieved, if there were 50 "Storm Killers", he would not be able to hold out for 15 minutes even if he had a hundred lives, but when he was replaced by a "Soldier", his confidence soared, and he held his gun, yelled, and began to fire at the steel warriors as they ran towards him. With a shout, he pressed the trigger of his gun and started to fire at the steel warriors who were coming towards him.

"Countdown, ten minutes left!"

Zheng Jingfeng finished a box of bullets, with the speed of ordinary criminal police can not do to change the magazine to fill the bullet, once again towards the group of iron man constantly approaching their own shot, a round of bullets accurately hit them in the head, except that some hit the fragile articulation, direct damage to the machine brain, and some hit is the alloy, the bullet popped open, can not go through.

Within Zheng Jingfeng's long range, more than ten of these robots fell one by one, with more than thirty still approaching him.

Zheng Jingfeng mentally calculated the remaining distance and the number of soldiers left.

Destroying all of them was impossible, but if we fought them at close range, we would definitely be the ones to suffer, so what should we do?

There seems to be a worm crawling on his forehead, Zheng Jingfeng raised his hand and touched it, it was sweat ......

Four hundred meters, three hundred meters ......

He could already see the robots clearly and couldn't put it off any longer.

Zheng Jingfeng swallowed hard, and at this critical moment, a sudden flash of light came to his mind! He remembered the battle analysis of the island's soldier robots that he had seen at the headquarters earlier. He was drinking a cup of Shunlai's milk tea, and watched the technician write the battle analysis into the God of wind system-

"Attacking the body will have a certain chance of triggering a self-destruct, it is recommended to attack the head."

In a flash, Zheng Jingfeng knew what to do.

God of wind had been suggesting that the military police they sent out to attack the robot's head, and that was because attacking the body could lead to an explosion that wasn't too small and could easily injure the soldiers themselves.

But now ......

He had to take a gamble!

Zheng Jingfeng immediately raised his machine gun, but this time his shots were no longer aimed at the heads of the robotic warriors, instead he shot straight at their chests and abdomens! The bullets hit the alloy and made a piercing sound, one robot's waist and abdomen armature was hit, the bullet penetrated into the interior of its mechanical body, the green light of its eyes flashed frequently, and then it fell to the ground with a clang and didn't move.

Zheng Jingfeng cursed, this is a dud!

He then began to snipe more frantically at the waist and stomach of the second robot.

The second and third units also fell to the ground after their hubs were destroyed, becoming a pile of uncontrollable scrap metal, however, these losses of combat power were insignificant, the thirty-odd robots were still aggressively approaching Zheng Jingfeng, and were now at a distance where they could fire without the need for a scope.

Time is running out for Zheng Jingfeng ......

"Countdown, eight minutes!" The wristwatch shouted shrilly.

Zheng Jingfeng cursed, "I can't be this backward! I've lost every card I've ever played in the Spring Festival, and now I can't even draw a lot to get to the point?"

He also did not care, in that group of eyes will be running to kill the combat robots in the middle of the pick the most obtrusive looking, concentrated fire towards its navel a burst of heavy gunfire, pungent smoke filled in Zheng Jingfeng around, under the feet of the empty shells of the magazines continue to fall.

"Bang!" The last bullet finally penetrated the unlucky robot's belly eye and exploded in its inner chamber.

The unlucky robot spun around in place, its green eyes flashing, and after half a second, collapsed to the ground in a crumpled heap of sparse scrap metal.

"Holy shit! Is it really that backward?"

Zheng Jingfeng almost dropped his gun.

However, right at this moment, the fallen robot suddenly smoked, and its pair of electronic eyes went from flashing green to flashing red. In the nick of time, Zheng Jingfeng immediately reacted - hit! This one can blow up! He violently withdrew behind the control room of the Excitement Cold Light, and just as he bowed and crouched down, he heard a loud boom!

The robot that was shot in the navel really triggered a big explosion, a wave of air broke through the air, with a loud boom, the thirty or so robots around it were directly shocked and confused, falling on the ground, some with cables exposed, some with missing arms and broken legs, and some like a crab on its back collapsed in the deep crater caused by the explosion and couldn't come out, its mechanical legs and feet stomping around helplessly.

"Countdown, six minutes!"

Wristwatches screamed as they echoed across the smoke-filled battlefield, and Zheng Jingfeng couldn't help but chuckle as he ran out from behind cover after a brief period of calming down, looking down at the pile of disarmed robots.

Hell, he even figured out how to go back and brag about it to his grandson.

It can't really be called bragging, after all, his grandfather was really good and could--

Before he could finish his thought, his smile froze.

For he suddenly saw a group of unrecognizable things scurrying wolfishly close on that foggy horizon, approaching him like a churning black wave, far faster than the fifty machine soldiers of a moment ago.

Those things made a horrible, strange noise, as if a gurgling grunt had rolled from the throat of a wild beast.

And then a light suddenly from the smoke of the explosion has not been dispersed out of the air, like a meteor-like slide, but also like a sharp arrow, running in front of Zheng Jingfeng!

Zheng Jingfeng, unable to avoid it, raised his gun to defend himself, and just as he pulled the trigger, he heard a thud, and at the same time the wail of a wild animal. Immediately after that, the thing fell heavily onto the ground in front of him, smashing up a cloud of dust and ash.

It's the island's mechanical dog!

The number of dogs was huge, following the first group of soldiers like a wave of attack, it was like a group of hungry hyenas in the wilderness, in an instant, with Zheng Jingfeng as the core, the surrounding circle actually overlapped and surrounded more than hundreds of mechanical beasts! Those beasts and mechanical soldiers, electronic eyes are all flashing with ghostly green light, little by little the ghostly green mass surrounded Zheng team, in the night color convergence into a very beautiful and horrible fluorescent star river.

Zheng Jingfeng immediately swallowed his saliva, this is too much ......

And they were different from the previous mechanical soldiers, they were small and surprisingly fast, not good for aiming, this was a big trouble.

"Ow-"

"Ow ow ow ow--"

One dog leads the way, and all the dogs respond in kind; they are monsters designed to fit the habits of living creatures. In an instant, the howling before the attack was so loud that it almost completely drowned out the faint chiming of the time on Zheng Jingfeng's strap.

"Countdown, five minutes!"

Five minutes!

Him, is he gonna make it?

Sweat kept dripping down his face.

Zheng Jingfeng's heartbeat has become the only drum that beats for him on this battlefield, thump, thump, thump ......

Five minutes, he also have to hold on, do not hold on also have to hold on, he does not have any retreat, he and Xie Qingcheng came to this island, in order to collect the value of the newest weapon, so that as soon as possible to let the second order team to break through the defense line, landed on this sinful island, and after three years of refreshing to fight with one of the death station.

He may seem to be the only one facing these mechanical dogs, but he knows that behind him in the control room, there is Xie Qingcheng fighting, and in Huzhou, 10,000 miles away, there are still so many of his comrades fighting, and even in the center castle of Mandela Island, there are still their frozen teammates, waiting for the dawn of this battle.

He can't retreat.

"Owwwwwww ----"

There was a long cry, like the first of a pack of dogs calling for a general attack, and at the same time Zheng Jingfeng wiped the dust from his face, and, alone, he rose from his position and clicked on a new magazine.

The mechanical dogs suddenly pounced towards him like a tidal wave, Zheng Jingfeng bellowed, raised his steel gun, and fired a piercing white light towards the fastest running batch among them!

Flash-bang bombs!

Flashbangs again!

The flash-bang bomb landed among the dogs and hissed and burned for three seconds before detonating with a bang!

This time because there is no "storm kill" such a high IQ robot to stop, flash bomb played out its absolute power, such a small bullet in the landing after the explosion splashed open the rolling waves of air, immediately overturned a whole group of dogs, instantly steel fragments and soil debris flying, hounds scream and mechanical wailing sky, the rest of the mechanical dogs see the situation, have frozen on the spot, but for a time do not dare to approach. When the rest of the mechanical dogs saw this, they froze on the spot, not daring to approach.

The flashbang attack managed to delay their attack!

But Zheng Jingfeng didn't have many of these bullets with him, he had used one in the fight against Riot Kill and one just now, leaving him with a total of three bullets in his magazine.

Three used up, and he'd have no more of these massive bludgeoning weapons to deter the mechanical dogs.

"Countdown, four minutes!"

Four minutes to go!

Four minutes, three bullets, and he has to hold on ......

Zheng Jingfeng held up his rifle and looked around at the stumbling mechanical dogs. Apparently, they were also adjusting their combat mode, not daring to rush forward.

They are watching Zheng Jingfeng's weapon ......

This one gun, is there another weapon in there that's this lethal or not?

After ten seconds or so, the mechanical canines seemed to have reached a kind of unity within the airwaves, they decided to take a gamble, and after some exchanges of howls that only they themselves could understand, the mechanical canine team swooped towards Zheng Jingfeng once again---! Zheng Jingfeng, with his many years of combat experience, knew that he could not afford to be ambiguous at this moment, and could not afford to hesitate, as long as there was even the slightest bit of hesitation, the enemy would be able to guess that he did not have enough ammunition, and would launch a frenzied onslaught in the next few moments, quickly exhausting all of his weapons.

So Zheng Jingfeng immediately opened fire, obviously with only three bullets left, but with the bravado of having 300 left.

Bang Bang!

Two in a row!

One left and one right exploded between the dogs!

In the blink of an eye, there were again screams and steel flying in unison, and the mechanical dog packs were truly shaken, as they stopped their attack once more. This time, they didn't dare to quickly launch a third attack.

Zheng Jingfeng's double bullets made them make a wrong judgment, and they mistakenly thought that Zheng Jingfeng still had a very large number of such bullets. The dogs did not dare to act rashly, and let out a long, whimpering howl up to the sky, which was creepy to hear, but did not launch an attack right away.

They're waiting.

The robotic dogs mimic the creatures so accurately that Zheng Jingfeng, who lived in the countryside as a child, immediately recognizes their behavior as a cry for help, waiting for more of their own kind to arrive.

Despite the fact that the more enemies there were, the scarier they became, Zheng Jingfeng needed time now, and waiting was not a bad thing for him, despite the growing danger. It was just that he had to take a gamble to see if the reinforcements from these mechanical dogs would come faster, or if Xie Qingcheng's data entry in the control room would be faster.

He glanced at his wristwatch without moving.

Three minutes to go ......

Time almost never passes so painstakingly, and the seconds are as long as years, as Zheng Jingfeng has experienced only twice in his life, once now, and once ......

The very young faces of Xie Ping and Zhou Muying seemed to flash before his eyes.

Then there was the time, just after they graduated, when the three of them went undercover in Burma and hid in a warehouse crevice literally unable to move for four days.

Thinking of his two deceased comrades, Zheng Jingfeng's heart was filled with heat, a mouthful of hot blood.

His gaze sank, his heart sank, and this heat and fervor sustained him where he stood, and it was as if he felt that they, too, had returned, and stood beside him right and left.

Two minutes and forty seconds ......

Two and a Half Minutes ......

Two minutes and fifteen seconds ......

"Countdown, two minutes!"

The watch pointedly launched a countdown announcement.

Zheng Jingfeng, a body of flesh and blood, was facing off against these hundreds of mechanical beasts. Normal beasts could smell cowardice on people, and so could these mechanical beasts, but they could never smell fear on him.

Because he's here for revenge.

He had come to find the justice that had been absent for twenty years.

He had in him the hopes of the dead and the expectations of the living.

Only there is no room for cowardice.

The dogs are still afraid to approach forward.

Countdown, one minute!

Zheng Jingfeng knew that the dawn was near, and he held his breath as he waited for Xie Qingcheng to come out of the control room. They'll be ready to go soon, after the data has been collected, uploads don't have to stand still, they can escape, they can maneuver, they just have to hold out for another minute, fifty seconds ......

Thirty Seconds ......

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW--!!!"

Suddenly a ghastly howl came from the distant wind, Zheng Jingfeng's pupils suddenly shrunk!

It's a reinforcement for the pack dogs!

Reinforcements from the pack dogs will be arriving soon!

He could already see with his naked eye the rolling sands of smoke and sand churning up near the horizon, the dust raised by the mass of beasts running.

Twenty Seconds ......

Zheng Jingfeng's hand squeezes the trigger and his head snaps back sideways, his facial muscles tensing to the breaking point as he looks at the door to the control room.

Ten seconds--

The pack of dogs were getting closer and closer, the vicious beasts around them were all starting to move, there was still the last flash explosion bullet left in his machine gun, he had already made a good plan at this critical moment, as soon as Xie Qingcheng came out, he would immediately fire this last bullet, the explosion would buy them time to escape, as long as they protruded out of the siege, there would be a way for them to be able to get rid of these mechanical beasts.

Five seconds-!

Four, three, two--

"Xie Qingcheng!!!"

The beasts ran to it!

Zheng Jingfeng shouted at the control room at the top of his lungs, "GET OUT OF HERE!!!"

I !!!!

With no more options, the pack of dogs completed their reinforcement aggregation and swarmed up to them! Zheng Jingfeng's bullet pierced through the chamber and caused a huge explosion among the mad dogs.

Bang!

In an instant, gravel flipped and iron spattered horizontally, rolling smoke rolled up, Zheng Jingfeng in the smoke, trying to look toward the control room door, and this glance made his blood cold.

Xie Qingcheng ...... is not out.

Fifteen minutes had come and gone.

But--

"No way! There is misleading data!!!"

Inside the control room, Xie Qingcheng's headset heard the crumbling voice of the headquarters technician, "We still have to hold out for three more minutes!!!"

Xie Qingcheng completely heard the commotion outside, three minutes?

Zheng Jingfeng had already used up his most effective bullets against the mechanical dog, how could he last another three minutes?!

"Can't you guys go any faster!!!"

"Three minutes! In three minutes it must be possible to--"

Xie Qingcheng : "Fuck me/your mom!"

Advertisement

"You don't move! You can't go out there, you have to cooperate with us in order to finish in three minutes ......"

The data is still churning.

Outside the command room, it has long been a scene of chaos, countless hounds were blown up, but more hounds broke through the smoke, towards Zheng Jingfeng howling and pouncing.

Zheng Jingfeng could only engage in melee combat, but he was relentless and threw away the gun he had finished shooting and replaced it with two double-guns, shooting in all directions, and within a few dozen seconds the muzzle of the gun was hot.

Dogs see people tough, a moment actually have scruples, but they are after all mechanical, after hesitation or hissed and rushed up. Zheng Jingfeng, after all, two fists can not beat four feet, he was surrounded by enemies, there is no one to assist with him, soon, he was injured, blood filled the air, more and more stimulate the mechanical thugs.

Zheng Jingfeng killed red-eyed and hissed, fighting and shooting non-stop, the sound of sudden gunfire and his roar formed the most tragic melody.

"Fuck-"

A vicious dog fell before him, and he stumbled, soaked in blood that even his eyes were drenched in scarlet.

Fifty Seconds ......

One minute ......

A bloody piece of flesh was torn off his thigh by the mechanical dog, and he was unsteady on his feet, but he managed to hold on through gritted teeth, knocking the dog's head off hard!

He gasped, but just at this time, a swarthy giant dog suddenly toward his back neck pounced over, Zheng Jingfeng dodge can not, back to the gun to want to hard resistance. However, he knows that this time is over, it is difficult for him to block its attack on his back, I am afraid that ...... this time ......

He's about to ......

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Shrapnel splatters! Fire bursts!

At the moment when the mechanical dog was about to pounce on him, Zheng Jingfeng's eyes suddenly swept over the silhouettes of two people.

Old Zheng was exhausted from the fight by this time, his brain was foggy, his vision was messed up, and he stared wide-eyed in that moment-was it his illusion?

He in actually in this life and death situation, the flaming light, saw those two people ......

Surprised he saw it ......

"Xie Ping? Moyoung!!!"

What caught his eye was that they ......

Was it his delusion?

Was it a delusion that he was going to die?!
