Chapter 1146 The last line of defense, the voice on the radio!
The transmission speed of radio microwaves is roughly the same as the speed of light and the speed of electromagnetic waves.
Almost as soon as Xiao Yang pressed the send button, every corner within 300 kilometers was covered.
Of course, this is without obstruction.
If the receiver is on the ground or inside a building, even if the distance is only one meter or half a meter, the microwave will consume all its energy in reflection and cannot transmit the signal.
"That's it, the next step is to build the outpost camp."
After setting the radio's transmission mode to continuous transmission for twenty-four hours, Xiao Yang took out the rifle under his seat and jumped out of the car briskly.
Huchi.
About 20 centimeters of snow covered my ankles.
Compared with the coarse snow on the earth, the snowflakes in the wasteland are very fine and dense, and it feels like stepping on cotton.
After walking around the surrounding terrain, the six guards who dispersed also came back with news.
"Captain, there should be no survivors around here."
"Yes, most of the footprints left behind should be those of radioactive beasts. There are no traces of humans."
"There are more footprints on the side of the mountain. It should be that the radiation beast has migrated into the mountain?"
"I found a path that didn't feel like it was natural."
"Radiomon? Road?"
Xiao Yang frowned and turned around, looking towards the snow-capped mountains shrouded in hazy moonlight.
In fact, using snow-capped mountains to describe it is not that appropriate.
The highest mountain here is no more than 300 meters. Viewed from a high altitude, it should be described as hilly.
And between the mountains, under the snow, there is a path into the mountain about six meters wide.
Peeling away the snowflakes on the mountain road, although the mountain road is full of potholes, you can vaguely make out the remaining traces of asphalt.
"It can basically be confirmed that this should be the terrain where the game was dropped from Blue Star."
The mountains that should not appear here were previously speculated to be changes brought about by magnification.
But now, this road into the mountains has clearly reached its conclusion.
"Wait a minute, captain, look." A guard was still picking up the snowflakes on the ground, trying to find more traces.
But when I looked up, I saw in the mountains not far away, there seemed to be fire flickering and black smoke rising into the sky.
Is there anyone?
For a moment, all the team members looked up in surprise.
Sure enough, it was extremely obvious in the dark night. A red and black fireworks column went straight into the sky, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding white snowflakes.
"Quick, get in the car, it's business!"
From the time I turned on the radio to now, it's only been about half an hour at most.
Xiao Yang couldn't help but get excited at the thought of finding survivors so soon.
The few veterans in the team who came from the Pingtan shelter rushed into the carriage without looking back.
The search and rescue team also has business rewards. The more survivors found, the more rewards the territory will give.
Players may not care what the reward is because of the route, but for veterans who have left their hometown.
Making more money is the only way for them to take root.
"The first team will advance, and the second team will set off to cover in five minutes."
"According to the way we train, if it is a conflict between humans, we will not participate first."
"If it's a battle between humans and radioactive beasts, intervene directly."
Xiao Yang took a few deep breaths and calmly gave instructions.
The rescue information on the radio may seem bold, but in fact it is the result of careful testing.
If Blue Star people receive the signal, they will have cognitive impairment due to the words such as games and players in it, and then subconsciously regard it as a noise band without information.
Only players on Earth can receive signals normally and hear rescue messages.
And based on the current strength level of the survivors, worrying that they will pose a threat to a trained armed team is simply too unfounded.
Dividing into two convoys, one in tandem to look after each other, was a decision made after careful consideration of various dangers.
Soon, along the mountain road, the first Baili Lantern speeded away in the direction of billowing black smoke.
Five minutes later, the second vehicle followed closely behind, acting as a security vehicle to provide support from the rear.
What makes people laugh is that not long after they entered the mountain, several radioactive beasts that were disturbed by the silence rushed out from the shadows on both sides and wanted to launch an attack.
However, when I saw the speeding Baili Lantern and the machine gun that had not been retracted above.
The fear rooted in their genes immediately frightened these radioactive beasts, and they instantly ran away with their tails between their legs.
"Maybe being smart isn't such a bad thing."
After all, Wasteland is not a real game. Even in their training ground soldier route, killing radioactive beasts with guns will basically not give experience.
At present, these radiation beasts are aware of the situation, which saves the time of alerting the enemy.
However, what Xiao Yang didn't know was that there were people on the burning mountain ridge who had similar thoughts to him.
Time jumps to one hour ago.
The more than two hundred radiation beasts guarding the entrance of the cave really lost their patience in waiting.
Compared to the radiation beasts that had already followed the traces, most of them were bulky tank types.
A mutated radiated cow with two horns on its head that turned into a single horn, and its body size doubled.
A mutated radiated black bear with two front legs that have grown several times larger, resembling elephant hooves.
A mutated radiated crocodile with teeth like hoes that carve deep marks into the snow.
There are more than a dozen different species, but the only thing they have in common is their slow movement speed and lack of flexibility.
It's okay to let them be responsible for short-distance pursuits, but it would be a bit difficult to follow the traces for long-distance pursuits.
Taken together, all tank-type radiant beasts can only target caves that are still manned.
Even they know that these cunning humans have a terrain advantage, and they must pay a high price if they want to invade.
But compared to this winter, there was no harvest, or they were broken up one by one by humans after being separated.
Now is indeed the best opportunity to attack!
Ouch!
The huge radiation beasts took the lead in attacking, roaring and rushing towards the entrance of the cave.
Several mutated moths that had not left took this opportunity to swoop down from the trees and release bursts of fluorescent yellow moth powder.
Moth powder is non-toxic.
Spreading on the charging radiation beasts only made these beasts' eyes redder and more bloodthirsty.
"Be careful, this is a war-like moth, cover your mouth and nose!"
The middle-aged man "Uncle Liu" who was in charge of directing the defensive battle shouted, and all the people guarding the entrance of the cave immediately hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with their hands.
But unfortunately, two people were accidentally hit. Their eyes turned red and they almost lost their minds and wanted to rush out and fight to the death.
Fortunately, he was held down by others, so no casualties occurred at the beginning.
"set fire!"
"The moth powder of militant moths will stimulate our cognition, causing us to rush out and fight. However, this thing will burn when exposed to fire, so we cannot let it spread into the hole."
The type and ability of Radiant Beast were still a secret when it was first released in the game.
But as time goes by, it has been gradually compiled into a complete document by humans.
You only need a few supplies and can buy one from a merchant on the coast of the New World.
Sure enough, as soon as Uncle Liu finished speaking, someone who also knew the properties of moth powder came forward.
Take a sip of gasoline and light it with a torch when you spray it out.
The flames flew three to four meters away, igniting all the moth powder that was blown over.
The fire spread along with it and frightened off the first wave of attacks from the radiation beasts.
"Well done!"
As everyone expected, the weaknesses of the remaining radiation beasts were too obvious.
Especially when humans still have terrain advantages, they can more easily seize these weaknesses and fight back.
Of course, there are exceptions.
"roar!"
While everyone was cheering for the victory, from the shadows, a green-skinned lizard sprang out from the side like a ghost.
"No, it's a camouflaged lizard"
Seeing that a man standing on the outermost edge was about to be bitten, Uncle Liu standing in the center roared and threw the short ax in his hand without hesitation.
Boom.
A dull sound echoed in the night.
The sharp ax that could penetrate three-thirds of the wood hit the lizard's back, making a sound of gold and iron, only blocking its time for a moment.
The smelly big mouth still followed the direction of the attack and bit it fiercely.
hiss.
It was the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart.
The sharp teeth penetrated, and blood shot out like a fountain.
The lizard was so fast that the man was dragged out of the bunker before the people next to him could react.
"Damn it, stand back!"
"These cunning things have not left, they are just hiding in the dark to paralyze us!"
The two hundred heads in the field of vision are just an illusion that the radiation beasts want to show off.
There were actually some radiation beasts that left that didn't really leave, but lurked in the dark waiting for opportunities.
Suddenly, the situation that was good just now took a turn for the worse.
No one knows whether there will be a hidden radiation beast coming out from beside them in the next second.
"Back off, back off!"
Seeing that the team was in chaos, Uncle Liu could only give instructions loudly and temporarily abandon the defense line at the first cave entrance.
It is almost impossible to achieve the hard steel with Radiant Beast head-on.
Survivors are better at sneak attacks or using prepared traps.
Rather than continue to waste time and wait for the team to become chaotic, it is better to shrink the defense line as soon as possible and use the complex situation in the channel to face the enemy.
Even if there are radiation beasts hiding in the dark, they will have to enter through the hole.
roar!
Seeing that the cave entrance was out of the way, the first wave of charging radiation beasts launched another attack.
"Fire the arrow!"
Uncle Liu roared excitedly, and several survivors with compound bows pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Lin Cheng also stood among them, raised his hand, aimed at a mutated cow, and pulled the trigger.
The sharp iron arrows made the whistling wind sound.
Although it failed to hit the vulnerable part under the horns of the mutant cow, it accidentally shot into the eye socket.
Severe pain broke out, and the mutated cow that had just rushed to the entrance of the cave roared subconsciously and stopped.
However, it was hit hard by other radiation beasts that were still charging from behind, blocking half of the hole.
"Boy Lin, you did a great job."
Uncle Liu's loud voice sounded again.
The hole that could accommodate three radiation beasts just now was blocked, leaving only half of it.
In other words, half of the pressure everyone faced was instantly eliminated.
When the other survivors who were still panicking saw this, they relaxed a little and began to organize an effective counterattack.
One head, two heads, three heads
Just like archery training, after getting through the initial panic period, the survivors still showed their courage to enter the depths of the new continent in the early stages, and their fighting qualities matched with their courage.
If the iron arrows were unlimited, they might actually be able to defend it through narrow passages.
However
"I'm out of arrows!"
"I shot empty too!"
"Whoever has more, please lend me two."
Survivors holding compound bows look at me and I look at you. Everyone’s arrow baskets have been empty.
Go up and fight with a knife at close range?
It's not yet a life-or-death situation, and everyone still holds the idea that the Radiation Beast will give up.
Uncle Liu looked around helplessly and was about to continue directing everyone to retreat to the third line of defense.
But the next second, I turned around and looked back.
Several pairs of scarlet compound eyes were revealed in the darkness, and a feeling of being stared at by a wild beast suddenly exploded from the bottom of his heart.
that is
"No, there are other entrances to this cave!"
I don't know when, several radiation spiders appeared inside the cave.
Obviously, there are other places in this cave that radiation beasts can enter.
And these guys are very cunning.
He waited until everyone had finished shooting his arrows before he appeared from behind. His intelligence was frightening.
"Run, run, run up!"
Now that the radiation beast has infiltrated the cave, it is no longer realistic to go to the third line of defense to confront the radiation beast.
Now everyone looked at each other and Sayazi started running towards the passages in all directions.
Just fantasizing in their minds, they all have the consciousness to fight to the death.
But when it comes to that moment, human instinct affects how to survive.
Furthermore, unless they can kill all the radiation beasts, the cave will definitely not be defendable.
There are still family members around, and no one wants to die like this.
Including Uncle Liu, they also rushed into the passage on one side and shouted: "Go up and gather at the last line of defense on the top of the mountain!"
If you escape into the wilderness, you will die faster. You can only survive if you are in danger.
Lin Cheng and Cheng Fei looked at each other, and in a tacit understanding, they rushed up to cover each other.
Before the battle broke out, all those who were not good at fighting had been moved to the last line of defense on the top of the cave, waiting for the final decisive moment to arrive.
But no one expected that this moment would come so quickly.
Even if it takes some time for the Radiant Beast to find its way upward, it will definitely not take more than half an hour.
In other words, they only have the last half hour to prepare!
"Lin Yin!" Lin Cheng couldn't help but yelled as soon as he rushed to the end of the passage and before he entered the final platform.
"We are here!" the firm female voice replied.
The platform is semi-open-air, with nothing around it except for a roof above it that is better than nothing.
It may have been originally intended to be an open-air BBQ venue, but was eventually abandoned due to the war.
At this time, there was still light snow falling in the sky, the howling cold wind blew by in waves, and there were coughs everywhere.
At this time, no one cared about whether the hell flower virus would be contagious, so everyone huddled together to hide from the wind.
Lin Yin was taking care of Lin's mother and hiding in the corner of the crowd. Next to her, Cheng's mother was also there.
"The defense line below has been lost?"
"Well, this is our last line of defense." Cheng Fei answered quickly while quickly grabbing something from the package on the ground.
During this time, he has followed the tutorials on the World Channel and found several methods and materials for making soil bombs.
Although it has not been really tested, conditions no longer allow it.
"Hey, where's my radio?"
"Here it is." Lin Yin quickly took out a simple black box from her arms and handed it over.
"I just heard someone talking inside, so I took it out."
"What?" He glanced at Lin Yin in disbelief. Cheng Fei looked surprised and quickly put the radio to his ear.
Manufacturing radios is not difficult for large deep-sea gathering places that have restored some manufacturing, but if they want to sell them, they must reduce the cost of use.
To use a traditional vacuum tube radio, you must have a power supply, which is undoubtedly difficult.
Therefore, the 'ore machine', which was once the favorite of many beginners in the middle of the last century and does not require a power supply, has become a major hot-selling product.
"Crap, it really makes a sound."
Without deploying the antenna, the sound inside was very weak.
But compared to the lack of movement before, it was as harsh as a muffled thunder exploding above the head.
Cheng Fei quickly took out the folding antenna from the package, inserted it, and unfolded it.
In an instant, the sounds inside began to become clearer.
"The human territory of the earth is a paid rescue rifle blasting one-stop service"
The intermittent voice made it difficult to hear what was being said, but those words made Cheng Fei's whole body tremble.
"Quick, Lin Cheng, come and listen!"
"No, let everyone, including Uncle Liu and others, come and listen!"
