Chapter 55 Arrival at the Battlefield
Chapter 55 Arrival at the Battlefield
The reason Dong Qi complained about the electromagnetic gun's various shortcomings in front of Yang Tianhua was actually to use Yang Tianhua's words to promote it to others.
The electromagnetic cannon mounted on the top of my own car looks very powerful, but it's actually just for show, to reduce the attraction of the electromagnetic cannon for other people.
After listening to Dong Qi's complaints, the thoughts of the others remain unknown, but at least Yang Tianhua believed them.
However, looking at the brand-new electromagnetic cannon, Yang Tianhua still wanted to fire a few shots to test its feel. But Dong Qi forgot to apply for bullets when he left the research institute, so he would have to wait until tomorrow to fire the cannon.
Yang Tianhua felt a little regretful after learning that the test firing could not be carried out today, but it was only a one-day delay. He would definitely try firing the cannon himself tomorrow.
After informing Dong Qi of the area Dong Hao was responsible for defending, Yang Tianhua didn't linger there and returned to his car to continue patrolling along the riverbank.
When Dong Qi arrived at the area defended by Dong Hao, following the direction indicated by Yang Tianhua, he did not see a fierce battle, but rather a group of people sitting around a campfire, chatting leisurely.
Dong Qi's car was quite conspicuous here, so when the group saw a car approaching from afar, they immediately got up, but didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, the enemy they faced on this battlefield was a different race, so they didn't put up much guard against cars coming from behind.
As Dong Hao saw the approaching vehicle, his doubts grew stronger.
Although the model of this car is almost the same as the model of Dong Qi's own car, they haven't been separated from Dong Qi for very long, so why is there suddenly a big thing installed on the top of that car?
And just by looking at its appearance, you can tell that this thing is definitely not an ordinary item; it's no exaggeration to say that it's 99% rare.
Only after the vehicle approached and Dong Qi got out did Dong Hao and the investigation team members beside him dare to confirm.
The vehicle in front of them, with a twin-barreled turret on its roof, was the car that had brought them from Pengcheng.
"Hey bro, where did you get this huge thing?"
Upon hearing Dong Hao's question, Dong Qi didn't hide anything and slowly recounted his experiences since arriving here in front of everyone.
Of course, I couldn't help but complain a lot along the way. To put it simply, the electromagnetic cannon mounted on the roof looks very impressive, but its practicality is not as good as adding a machine gun.
Hearing Dong Qi's Versailles-esque complaints, the group exchanged glances but said nothing more.
Although they were frontline workers before joining the investigation team, their frontline work involved dealing with ordinary people.
Although they undergo rigorous military training every year, their most frequent task is mediating neighborhood disputes. Whenever a dangerous or serious incident occurs, they request assistance from armed personnel.
Therefore, my understanding of emerging weapons is actually not very extensive, and how much I know is entirely based on my interests, just like the average person.
That's why, when they heard Dong Qi complain about other restrictions, they didn't pay much attention and instead thought Dong Qi was being a bit pretentious.
After all, given the weapon's immense power, some limitations in its use are to be expected.
But when they heard from Dong Qi that the cannon barrel had a lifespan, and learned that Dong Qi had accepted the electromagnetic gun testing task issued by the research institute.
After all the testing tasks were completed, the electromagnetic railgun's barrel was nearing the end of its lifespan, and they began to somewhat agree with Dong Qi's complaints.
However, like Yang Tianhua, although these people were no longer jealous of the electromagnetic cannon installed on Dong Qi's car, they still wanted to fire it themselves a few times to have some fun.
However, upon learning that Dong Qi had not yet obtained ammunition for the electromagnetic cannon, he could only disappointingly abandon the idea for the time being.
After Dong Qi satisfied their curiosity about the electromagnetic cannon, he asked them with some curiosity, "Weren't you here to support the battlefield? Then why are you sitting around the fire warming yourselves?"
Upon hearing Dong Qi's question, Dong Hao and the others exchanged a smile before one of them spoke up to explain to Dong Qi: "You don't know this, but the place where you are standing now is actually already part of the combat zone."
Although those mutated marine creatures frequently invade and land on land, they usually come in groups and land at the same time, so we just need to wait for them to come ashore.
After the battle, we naturally need to sit down and rest to recover our strength and prepare for the next battle.
However, although the frequency of their intrusions is relatively high, they also need time to gather in the water, thus giving us ample time to recover.
Upon hearing this, Dong Qi looked around. Although the ground was somewhat dark red, he did not see any corpses of mutated marine creatures nearby, so a look of suspicion appeared on his face.
After seeing the expression on Dong Qi's face, the group immediately guessed what Dong Qi was thinking.
At this moment, Dong Qi's thoughts were actually similar to those of the people who had just arrived for their shift change and saw the environment here.
The environment here is so clean. Apart from the dark red soil remaining on the ground, there is not a single piece of ordinary trash, let alone the corpses of mutated marine creatures.
So, after guessing what Dong Qi was thinking, Dong Hao finally spoke up to clear things up for Dong Qi: "Are you wondering because you didn't see any mutated marine creature corpses around you?"
Actually, when we first arrived here and saw the environment, we had the same thoughts as you.
But after the first battle with those mutated marine creatures, the initial doubts were instantly resolved.
Just as Dong Hao was about to explain the details, an alarm sounded on his communicator, followed by a notification:
"Mutant marine creatures have been detected in areas C45 to C76. All combat personnel in these areas are requested to prepare for combat. The mutated marine creatures have landed and are expected to enter the battlefield in three minutes!"
"Mutant marine creatures have been detected in areas C45 to C76. All combat personnel in these areas are requested to prepare for combat. The mutated marine creatures have landed and are expected to enter the battlefield in three minutes!"
"Mutant marine creatures have been detected in areas C45 to C76. All combat personnel in these areas are requested to prepare for combat. The mutated marine creatures have landed and are expected to enter the battlefield in three minutes!"
Hearing the alarms come through the communicator three times in a row, perhaps because they had already experienced several battles, the members of the investigation team were not nervous at all. Instead, they casually picked up the spears that were lying on the ground with smiles on their faces.
Dong Hao picked up a spare spear and handed it to Dong Qi, then said, "Before I came here, I thought the battlefield here was particularly dangerous, otherwise I wouldn't have requested support from other regions."
But after I actually participated in the battle, well... never mind, you'll understand once you experience it for yourself. If you're careful, it's not that dangerous.
