Dawn of a New Era Chapter 152: : Steam tank
It was only after one o'clock midnight that Chen Shouyi fell asleep in a daze, but his sleep was still very shallow, and he was awakened several times during the period.
When he was awakened by a loud noise for the last time, he got up and sat up.
He looked at his watch and found that it was only 4:30 in the morning.
He walked to the window, and the night outside was still hazy, more than two hours before dawn.
The sound of guns in the distance has been sounding for most of the night, and it hasn't stopped, but it has become more intense. From here, you can see the flames that are not far away from time to time, appearing bright and dark in the dark.
Chen Shouyi watched for a while, and was about to continue lying on the bed and squinting for a while.
At this time, a dull sound similar to an old-fashioned train sounded gradually from far to near, and the ground began to vibrate slightly.
It didn't take long for a giant steel beast to drove through the streets near the community. With the moonlight, Chen Shouyi carefully distinguished it.
This is a giant steam tank, one or two meters higher than the outer wall, a long barrel, pointing straight ahead, and six giant machine guns like small cannons are arranged around it.
The ugly tail that exudes white gas like a locomotive looks quite eye-catching.
Chen Shouyi has seen a lot of tanks in the passage garrison area, but none of them is bigger and bloated. Those heavy tanks that originally seemed huge are petite and baby-like compared to it.
It has a high degree of completion. Although it looks bloated, it has a compact structure and no flaws on the surface. The surface is painted with jungle camouflage flower green.
Obviously, this tank was not developed recently.
In peacetime, it takes five to ten years for an important military equipment to go from requesting to pre-research and to the equipment of the whole army. Wartime may be shortened to one year or even less.
However, it was only more than three months from the first mutation to the second mutation. In such a short period of time, even if the entire Great Xia Kingdom is fully mobilized and enters a wartime state, it will not be able to be equipped so quickly. The second-line army in Hedong City.
In fact, the same is true.
This tank has been finalized more than ten years ago. The original intention was to form a frontal offensive force against another world. It was specially developed. It is purely steam powered, and even the artillery shells are ejected by ultra-high pressure steam.
Later, due to the complicated environment of the different world and various other strategic factors, it was only a small batch to equip the first and second line troops.
This batch of tanks has been useless since the beginning of equipment and has been sealed in the arsenal.
Until now!
Seeing this behemoth rumbling past a long distance, Chen Shouyi recovered and exhaled.
At this moment, he has no sleepiness, and he is not ready to sleep anymore.
While he got dressed, he opened the attribute panel and took a look. He found that his will has increased by 0.1, reaching 12.9 points, and his perception had also increased by 0.1, reaching 12.1.
The Shellgirl was still asleep, he gently picked up this little bit from the bed and put it in his briefcase.
The Shellgirl murmured a few times, smashed her mouth, and screamed again.
Sometimes, he really admires the shell girl with simple and carefree thinking, just like today, he tossed and turned all night, worried, but she slept like a pig.
Seeing that it was still early, Chen Shouyi took up a sword to warm up.
The increase in perception makes him seem to have an extra sense. Within the range of five meters above the body, whether in front or behind, whether with eyes open or closed, he can vaguely sense and judge what it is. .
It's not a picture or color, but an extremely strong intuition.
This ability is very useful. As long as you are within the sensing range, you can't hide anything from him.
……
After training for about half an hour, a scream suddenly came from outside, and it stopped abruptly, making it creepy.
The sound was very close, Chen Shouyi's heart sank when he heard it, and he stopped quickly, walked to the window, just glanced at it, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he quickly leaned sideways behind the wall.
A familiar silver figure walked into the community from the door gracefully.
Under the dim moonlight, it seemed to be covered with beautiful silver light.
Chen Shouyi held the hilt firmly in his hand, carefully observing with his eyes slightly squinted.
He didn't know if this was the one he encountered during the day, but it seemed to be of the same size, and then there was another scream of fear from the community.
Everyone is panicked tonight. Unless they are born with a nervous mind and who can sleep, not only are they worried about these monsters who have broken into the city and cannibalize people, but they are also worried about being affected by artillery fire. I don’t know how many people there are. Stayed at the window all night, watching the situation outside.
The silver figure was suddenly attracted by the scream, and after a halt, suddenly spread its wings and flew quickly.
As an insect that can fly under three times the gravity, once it reaches the earth, its speed can be imagined.
Its wings flapped at high frequencies, like a silver light rushing towards the residential building near Chen Shouyi's home.
With a bang, the glass on the eighth floor exploded, and several screams rang out, but they disappeared after a few seconds, apparently in an accident.
After a while, there was a slight movement from the house, and soon someone walked to the living room. Chen Shouyi glanced at the broken window on the eighth floor opposite, stepped to the door, opened the door, and said quickly: "Dad, put the rest Everyone is called to the living room, stop sleeping, keep quiet."
Chen Dawei was taken aback when he heard it. He looked at his son who had always been calm and reacted like this, and he knew something was going on, and he didn't ask much:
"Okay! I will call them out immediately."
……
Chen Shouyi went back to the window and continued to observe.
This silver giant spider has not come out for a long time.
Chen Shouyi looked silent. After watching for a long time, he looked back, sighed, and gently closed the curtains.
He is not a superman, nor is he a god, but just a stronger ordinary person. It is no problem to deal with those black giant spiders, but he can do nothing in the face of such terrible silver giant spiders.
Walking out of the bedroom, everyone is already out.
It was still early in the morning, the living room was dark, no candles were lit, and the atmosphere was quiet and depressing.
"Shouyi, what's going on outside?" Mother Chen asked uneasyly.
"It's very dangerous. A terrible monster has appeared in the community." Chen Shouyi hesitated slightly, and decided to tell the truth.
"Brother, can't you handle it?" Chen Xingyue asked.
"En." Chen Shouyi nodded and said.
The atmosphere calmed down, and only heavy breathing remained.
As time passed, the neighborhood remained quiet.
This is undoubtedly good news. Obviously, this silver giant spider did not carry out unnecessary killings after eating.
The existence of this terrifying creature still makes Chen Shouyi's heart seem to be pressed against a huge rock, heavy.
……
The sky is getting brighter.
Song Tingting couldn't hold back and went to the toilet. After returning, she told a disturbing news.
The tap water has stopped.
Mr Chen and Dawei Chen couldn't sit still, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to check the natural gas.
Fortunately, I found that it can still be used.
Chen Shouyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the natural gas is not cut off.
As for tap water, there is a lot of water in the house, enough for ten days and a half month. If you save a little, you can use it for cooking and drinking water for a month.
What's more, there is a small lake in the community. Although it is not clear and clean, at that time, water is already good, and there can be more hopes.
If there is a problem with natural gas, all residents of the entire city will fall into disaster.
Not only are cities densely populated, they are mostly reinforced concrete, and there are not many other fuel substitutes except natural gas.
Furthermore, the chemical reaction becomes relatively slow after the mutation, and flammable gases like natural gas can be ignited relatively easily. Others, like wood and coal, are difficult.
……
After simple dealing with breakfast, the crowd stayed in the living room all the time.
Soon the time was approaching noon, the huge noise of the steam tank sounded again, seeming to be coming here.
In the beginning, Chen Shouyi didn't care, and soon his heart sank.
Such a big movement, I'm afraid it will startle the silver giant spider!
"I'll see the situation!" He stood up, said something, and walked quickly to the bedroom, quietly opened a gap in the curtain, and watched carefully.
In the eighth floor opposite, there has been no movement, the silver giant spider, I don't know if it is resting or doing something else.
But with the movement of the steam tank, it became louder and louder.
Finally, this terrifying silver figure appeared in the window again. It looked far away, and there was no expression in its transparent compound eyes.
Suddenly it leaped sharply, flapped its wings, and flew away quickly.
You don't need to think about it, it's flying towards that steam tank.
Chen Shouyi struggled, suddenly gritted his teeth, took up the bow and sword, and leaped from the window.
He fell straight down, and the air around him roared.
A few seconds later, Chen Shouyi fell to the ground, tumbling forward, and he was already standing on the ground, and then quickly ran in the direction of the noise.
Every second he can take twenty or thirty steps, each step is three meters long. It is due to the natural ability of the wind element. If there is any resistance to him, if there is no resistance, he can just breathe. Over a distance of 100 meters.
I just ran to the fence, and the worst happened.
With a burst of continuous bursts like steam jets, countless black projectiles whizzed into the air, and quickly sank into a building in the distance, leaving a dense bullet mark, and a large amount of glass shattered and spilled from the air. .
Chen Shouyi had a solemn expression, accelerated his speed abruptly, and jumped over the wall.
Half a kilometer away, the huge steam tank has stopped, and the nearly ten-meter-long huge barrel has not moved. Only the projectiles of six huge steam machine guns fired frantically at a silver figure.
There are more than a dozen deep scratches on the thick armor of the tank. The shallow two or three centimeters and the thick five or six centimeters deep are also due to the thick armor of this steam tank, otherwise it will be torn. Cracked.
It made a sharp and piercing cry, and its body stumbled in mid-air, trying to get closer, but its body was hit by the rain of bullets from the steam machine gun.
This silver giant spider obviously picked the wrong opponent. With such a rough and thick complexion, it has nothing to do. At first, it relied on its speed and agility to attack, but once it waited for the machine inside. The gunman came over, it didn't have much chance.
A few seconds later, it suddenly moved and flew like a silver light toward a fifty or sixty-story skyscraper nearby.
The next moment, it was already standing on the top of the tall building, and its compound eyes looked down coldly.
Chen Shouyi, who was running, immediately dodged and hid behind a building.
This silver giant spider has been injured. The carapace on the surface is covered with dozens of small cobweb-like cracks, slightly recessed, and green blood is slowly leaking from it.
However, this level of injury is obviously not serious.
The six steam machine guns of the steam tank continued firing for a while, and then stopped, and the sneered steam filled.
The two have not moved for a long time.
I don't know why, Chen Shouyi, who is hiding aside, has a bad feeling in his heart.
This giant spider is obviously not an ordinary insect, it has considerable wisdom.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the silver giant spider lased like an electric light again.
It was too fast. Before the machine gun fired bullets, Chen Shouyi heard a series of dense metal explosions that seemed to be iron, sparks exploded from the top of the tank, and six giant steam machine guns. In the blink of an eye, they were already distorted and scrapped. Countless parts exploded and flew.
Xu destroyed the high-pressure steam pipeline of the machine gun. In the next moment, ultra-high pressure steam of hundreds of degrees Celsius was sprayed violently into the sky, forming steam columns tens of meters high, and the entire tank became steam. Diffuse.
This silver giant spider obviously did not expect to encounter this kind of accident. It was instantly scalded by the high temperature, and with a sharp scream, it flew up quickly and flew more than a hundred in the direction of Chen Shouyi. After the meter, he fell on the street, his body trembling constantly, hissing again and again.
The green blood on its body has changed color, and it has obviously been burned by the high-temperature steam.
Good opportunity!
Chen Shouyi moved in his heart and drew out an arrow. He came out from behind the building and approached quickly and lightly. After five or six seconds, he was already close to 100 meters.
As if feeling the movement, the silver giant spider's hissing suddenly stopped and turned around slowly.
Chen Shouyi only noticed that its injury was more serious than expected. The pair of originally transparent and crystal compound eyes had become slightly turbid.
His eyesight has obviously deteriorated, and it is even blind.
His tense mind loosened a little, and his footsteps became softer, approaching step by step, and at the same time the arrow in his hand slowly rested on the bowstring.
One hundred meters, ninety meters~IndoMTL.com~80 meters...
The silver giant spider became more and more anxious. It suddenly opened its wings full of holes, and the air exploded with a buzzing sound. It quickly rose from the ground, preparing to get away from here.
At this moment, Chen Shouyi opened the bowstring like a phantom, and shot an arrow.
The supersonic arrow came so fast, this time it never escaped.
In fact, it burned with high-temperature steam this time is more serious than what Chen Shouyi saw. Not only was the eyesight severely damaged, but most of the fine hair on the body was also damaged by the high temperature.
These fine hairs are covered with countless receptors. These receptors can not only feel the flow and vibration of air and water, but also can listen to sounds as ears, feel temperature, and smell smell. It is precisely because of these receptors that it can quickly avoid high-speed bullets and arrows. Without these receptors, most of its threat has been removed.
With a boom, the arrow hit its chest heavily.
The hard silver carapace on the chest was pierced in an instant, the arrow's foot was submerged, and only a small section of trembling arrow feathers were left. At the same time, the huge impact force sent its body that had just separated from the ground upside down After three or four meters, he fell heavily to the ground.
The silver giant spider let out a sharp hiss, its wings flapped fiercely in despair, trying to escape.
The next moment, another arrow hit its abdomen heavily, and it rolled to the ground again.
Chen Shouyi didn't dare to relax, one arrow after another, he shot seven arrows in a row while breathing, until this terrifying silver giant spider could no longer move, he breathed a sigh of relief, the haze in his heart Dissipated quickly.
At this time, the steam tank in the distance finally closed the leaking steam pipe.
Chen Shouyi took a look, and quickly disappeared into the distance after a few steps.
