From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 29 New Equipment
  "Tattoo!"

In the villages and rainforests, there was loud gunfire, or the movement caused by the continuous firing of 7.62 mm or even .50 cal caliber firearms.

If the rebels did this, it would be normal.

The rebels entrenched nearby have not received any military training at all, and do not understand the operation of burst fire and rapid fire. They only need to empty the bullets.

However, the real source of the continuous firing was the group of soldiers who jumped out of the cabin and completed the ropeless rappel.

The black combat uniforms, red "Λ" logo, and "ARS/3rd Infantry Company" shoulder patches all indicate that this group of soldiers is the rd Infantry Company of the Atlas Rapid Reaction Force (ARS).

And the equipment has become much "heavier".

After all, every infantryman is equipped with a mechanical skeleton, which can install more protective plates on important parts, carry more ammunition, and can easily complete a ropeless descent of 20 meters.

More than that, the face-covering helmet worn by ARS comes with a HUD display, which can help lock targets within the visual range and complete calibrated shooting with the mechanical skeleton.

In addition, ARS has undergone rigorous training and has rich actual combat experience, so it can still maintain extremely high accuracy despite continuous firing.

Viewed from the air, the soldiers of the Third Company, totaling more than thirty people, were scattered in groups of three or three among the villages.

Among them were two heavily armed soldiers dressed as ARS.

With its unique mechanical skeleton and modular armor covering the whole body, and equipped with a micro missile launcher and a 40mm caliber howitzer on its shoulders, this is simply a "humanoid tank".

Therefore, whether they are rebels or infected, anyone who appears in the shooting range of the ARS team will be attacked by rapid fire or continuous fire.

Facing the dense 7.62 and .50cal caliber ammunition, its powerful penetration ability immediately "rips apart" the human body's trunk, limbs, and head.

Bang!
  puff!
  The sound of human bodies exploding and shattering echoed between the villages and the rainforest. Blood mist filled the air, and the soil was soaked with blood and covered with flesh foam.

Facing the ARS, which is leading by a cliff in all aspects such as equipment, weapons and military literacy, the only fate for the infected and rebels is death.

What's more, there is an A-10, an AH-1W and a CH-53E equipped with a rotary machine gun in the air to provide fire support.

surrender?

Due to witnessing the infected, mutants, Atlas's new equipment, and the tight mission time, ARS simply ignored the rebels' surrender.

In fact, Atlas has already developed several more mobile prototypes based on the United Defense Force (UDF) vehicles of Earth Zero One, but they are still in the testing stage. There is no need to avoid premature exposure. As a result, the vehicles participating in this support mission are still old models.

now.

"... "

Leon stood up in confusion.

He looked at the ARS, which used the two heavily armed soldiers as mobile bunkers and slowly advanced towards the rainforest, and then looked at the HK USP in his hand, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

An ARS with red shoulder armor walked up to Leon, unfolded his mask, revealing a beard, and stretched out his left hand and said:

"Sergeant Gideon Elimo, 1st Platoon Commander, 3rd Company, Quick Reaction Force. Are you okay, cadet?"

Leon turned on the safety, returned the HK USP to the holster, and stretched out his left hand to shake hands with the opponent: "Sergeant, you came in time. Thank you for your assistance. If you had come two minutes later, I might have had to get a knife. It was a physical fight.”

"This is what we should do." The sergeant named Elimo Gideon let go of his hand and turned his gaze to Sears and others who came out of the tin room and were even more confused, and continued: "Student, The order from our superiors is for us to eliminate all threats and find the Flower of God that is the source of the current situation. Therefore, you need to cooperate with us, act as a communication bridge, negotiate with Quil Sears and other civilians, and help us complete the search for the Flower of God. mission objectives.”

"Okay Sergeant, leave it to me."

Leon nodded in agreement, walked towards Sears and others, and briefly explained the current situation.

During this period.

The sound of gunfire turned from dense to sporadic, indicating that a platoon of the 3rd Infantry Company had completed the mopping up mission with its absolute firepower and was currently searching for fish that had slipped through the net and re-firing.

Although the infected and mutants have the wisdom to operate firearms and fight in groups, they do not know how to evade and are easily eliminated by ARS.

Seeing that their defeat was certain, the rebels immediately dispersed and fled.

However, it is a taboo to expose the back to the enemy, and it also becomes a living target. Some are smarter and want to rely on the geographical advantages provided by the rainforest to hide and wait for opportunities to escape.

But with the grenade launchers of the heavily armed soldiers firing several reconnaissance bombs with dynamic detection and contour scanning capabilities into the rainforest, as well as the thermal imaging images provided by the face-covering helmets, the rebels had no way to hide.

After a while, the small-scale conflict ended. .
  See this.

The CH-53E, which was originally hovering in the sky, chose a suitable place to land and unload many technical and engineering personnel.

Just left the cabin.

Technicians wearing black chemical protective suits immediately collected the bodies, collected samples, and started disinfection procedures.

The engineering staff dressed in black overalls and orange vests also selected areas for disinfection, and then used the tools and materials they brought with them to carry out renovation and construction. It seemed that they were preparing to establish a laboratory in this village that could conduct testing and experiments immediately. outpost.

At the same time, two technicians were immediately performing standard procedures for blood drawing and on-site testing on teachers and students of Lyon and Sears.

After the results were all green, the two technicians turned around and left to continue other tasks.

Slow down.

Leon covered his neck where blood had been drawn with a sterile cotton pad, then looked at Gideon aside and asked: "Sergeant, is the company preparing...?"

"Controlling the situation, the second and third platoons have been deployed to Logia Town. Until the impact of the Flower of God is minimized, the company will be very busy around here, Michelle!" Gideon had just finished explaining, He ordered on the communication:

"You and the 8th, 9th, and 10th fire teams stay here and are responsible for providing protection for technical and engineering personnel and waiting for the arrival of follow-up personnel."

"Yes, Sergeant."

"Yes." Hearing the reply from the communication, Gideon responded lightly, then looked at Sears and others again, and said in a tone that could not be refused:

"Professor, you will go deep into the rainforest with us to search for the ancient city and the Flower of God. Atlas will pay you and your students a large commission, and will also recruit you to join the company and get better services. Work and living environment.”

"This...of course." Sears understood that they were involved in the other side of the world, especially after seeing the ARS killing the rebels without mercy, he naturally knew the consequences of refusal.

"Very good." Gideon put on his mask again, raised his left hand while walking towards the northern rainforest, shook it slightly, and continued to give instructions:
  "Except for the guys who stayed behind, the rest of us will follow me to see what is hidden in this rain forest."
