Chapter 326: Kinetic Armor Capable of Combat
Above the wilderness.
A large transport vehicle from Shelter No. 5 was moving slowly.
There were not many people in the cab. A driver was smoking a cigarette and humming a little tune. He seemed to be taking drugs and was shaking his head wildly under the powerful music.
In the wilderness, there are no roads and no need to worry about car crashes.
Can drive with eyes closed.
The other man in the co-pilot seat was sleeping soundly with his legs on the dashboard and a hat covering his face.
There is also a power armor in the rear cargo box.
Shelter No. 36 not only has multiple aircraft, but also far surpasses Shelter No. in mechanical research and development.
Because we need to repair aircraft, we also develop some power armor.
The T-45 Brown Bear power armor is painted in desert camouflage and its hatch is wide open.
As an early model of the T-45, it integrated too many outdated electronic devices, so the cockpit was still stuffy even in the evening.
In the cockpit, a bald man named Gucci picked up a towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned on the main power.
He had high cheekbones, obvious nasolabial folds, a long scar over his right eye, and a large piece of flesh missing from his nose, as if it had been bitten off by something.
"Welcome to Shelter No. 5's technological products."
The Shelter No. 5 Technology logo popped up from the helmet display system, and a gentle female voice sounded from the headphones.
"I fucking know it!"
Gu Qi cursed: "This is garbage that can't be sold! This garbage can only be used to deal with ferocious beasts!"
Not long ago, several people participated in the wilderness defense mission as direct forces of Shelter No. 5.
This power armor was so unreliable that it broke down before it could even kill a few ferocious beasts.
In desperation, they had to use a truck to tow it back to Shelter No. 5.
At this time, Gucci began his routine post-battle inspection.
This power armor is the "latest" model from thirty years ago.
In other words, Shelter No. 5 has not upgraded its power armor for a long time.
Even after a major overhaul, a lot of problems still appear after intense battles.
Especially in the recent battle, when it was besieged by multiple ferocious beasts at close range, the transmission system was no longer very sensitive.
"Left arm."
He put on the motion capture glove on his left hand and made a fist.
"The left arm is normal."
A voice outside the cabin responded.
Gucci tested his right arm and legs in turn and found that there was a slight delay in the control of his right leg.
It must have been bitten in a vital part by the Steppenwolf.
If the armor was more comprehensive, this wouldn't be the case.
"Those damn mutants are the ones who are hogging up all the resources!"
"If it weren't for the psychic, the institute would definitely have plenty of funds to upgrade the power armor!"
"Pooh!"
He cursed a few words and climbed out of the cockpit cursing. The problem with his left leg had to be repaired in the shelter.
The weapon mount on the back of the power armor could not be checked by illiterate people, so he had to check it himself.
Just now.
For some unknown reason, the truck spun violently on the ground and stopped, almost throwing Gucci off the back of the truck.
"Hey! Hey! Be careful! I didn't die at the hands of those beasts, but I almost died because of your poor driving skills!"
But the driver yelled, "Bullets! Someone's shooting at us!"
The man in the passenger seat slapped the driver's face with his hat. "Are you fucking high? Why didn't I hear any gunshots?"
There was no gunshot, shoot your grandma's leg!
But Gu Qi was standing in the truck bed, looking around.
At this glance, he saw a figure flashing about a kilometer away. He couldn't see anything else clearly, but he saw a sniper rifle!
Gu Qi slammed the roof of the car and shouted, "Fuck! Someone is attacking us! Southeast six o'clock direction, chase them!"
The driver, like a child who had just been rewarded, shouted excitedly, "Did you hear that? I said there was an attack, and there was an attack!"
"Hold on tight! Let's have some fun on the way back!"
As the driver stepped on the accelerator, the tires rubbed against the gravel on the ground, and the car accelerated suddenly. With a strong push on the back, the truck suddenly jumped and sped away. The scenery in the distance was instantly brought closer, and the slightest scenery had become blurred.
Gucci stood on the roof of the convertible, with the wind whistling from all directions, making it impossible for people to open their eyes and feel breathless.
The wheels would occasionally hit the stones on the ground, and even with the suspension, the whole car would still jump violently, as if it was about to fly.
However, when Gu Qi stared at the figure that flew out, he found that the other party's running speed was simply incredible!
It is impossible to catch up by relying on trucks.
Moreover, Gu Qi vaguely saw that the figure seemed to be covered with armor.
"War Armor?"
Gu Qi was suddenly startled.
"Shen Bei?"
As a member of Shelter No. 5, he naturally experienced the Titans' breeding period in the sea.
I was even more fortunate to have seen Shen Bei from afar.
Nowadays, there seems to be no other person who is covered in armor like this one.
"interesting!"
After a brief moment of surprise, Gu Qi rubbed his hands excitedly: "I didn't expect you to dare to chase me!"
Gucci's blood boiled, and he got back into the cockpit of the power armor.
"I want to see which is stronger, your battle armor or my power armor!"
In fact, when the fierce battle took place on the island near the breeding sea, Babatu had thought about transporting power armor there.
But crossing the sea is not only time-consuming and laborious, but if you fall into the sea... that would not be fun.
For this reason, it was never used.
"Capturing you alive would be a great achievement!"
Gucci licked his lips.
The last time Sanmu escaped in a panic and failed in his mission to rob Niu Ben, it was really embarrassing.
If we can capture Shen Bei, we might even be able to have a "friendly talk" with You Wuchang.
This is a bargaining chip!
With this thought in mind, Gucci immediately pressed the power armor start switch.
The power armor is driven by vanadium dioxide mechanical muscles, which can expand and contract like biological muscles when driven by the crystal source core, and their strength is more than a hundred times that of ordinary human muscles.
About 876 mechanical muscles and 60 billion vanadium dioxide muscle fibers enable the heavy power armor to move as flexibly as the human body, and with enormous power.
However, the use of mechanical muscles has a limited working time. The life of mechanical muscles in key parts is about 1,200 hours.
Therefore, long-distance mobility of power armor is carried out by trucks.
But now facing the sudden appearance of Shen Bei, the speed of the truck can no longer be relied upon.
He closed the hatch of the power armor, opened the brakes that locked his legs, and adjusted the output of the battery that had been preheating to the maximum.
Under the stimulation of electric current, the mechanical muscles of the power armor body suddenly contracted and then expanded.
He controlled the armor and with one arm, the entire armor weighing 1.5 tons flipped lightly from the pickup truck's cargo bed.
The huge reaction force made the pickup truck's suspension groan under the heavy load.
Ignoring the driver's curses, he activated the disposable rocket thrusters on the back of the mecha in mid-air.
Light blue flames spurted out from the nozzle of the rocket engine.
With a powerful kick of his right leg, the entire power armor shot away.
Gucci could see from the screen of the helmet display system that the speed of the power armor had reached 90km/h and the vibration of the body was increasing.
This speed is enough, as this old-fashioned armored vehicle can no longer reach a top speed of 100km/h.
High-energy batteries, older than he was, emitted an ominous buzzing sound, and he could hear the cooling fans working under immense pressure.
Even through the thick front armor, he could already feel the whistling airflow in front of him. It had been a long time since he had controlled the armor to run at this speed.
"Shen Bei, you are courting death!"
Gucci roared.
