Chapter 39 Armored Armadillo
These rotten woods are very huge. In the middle of the rotten wood, a mutant beast with a body as big as a double-person automatic car, dragging a long tail and covered with large and small scales. It is using its sharp long claws to dig the tree trunks to find the big bugs inside.
Those insects are also mutant creatures. After the catastrophe broke out, many mutant creatures appeared on the planet, including various phylums. They have one common feature, which is that their size is relatively huge compared to ordinary species.
Tang Ning often speculates with malicious intentions, which is nature's crazy revenge on human beings.
If it weren't for the vast forest between the 30th latitude of north and south, and wild animals and plants grew and reproduced wildly, it would be even more difficult for these giant beasts to find enough food to support themselves.
The armadillo was happily looking for food, and its sharp claws could easily create a crack in the giant tree that was two meters thick, and then use its head that is harder than ordinary steel to split the rotten wood like a large chisel, find the insect's nest, and then feast on it.
It did not notice at all that a piece of dry feces was slowly approaching itself, observing itself, looking for its entire body, and analyzing its weaknesses.
This process was undoubtedly boring. It took Tangning nearly two hours to complete the last three hundred meters.
Everyone who watched the battle felt sleepy, and several bigwigs even started their daily work again, no longer had the surprise that the simulator brought to them at the beginning.
Except for scientific researchers like Wang Li and Zhao Qinghai who regard boredom as nothing.
The simulator will project the operator's physical fitness data into the system based on the operator's physical fitness analysis and set the operator's ability upper limit.
Because the simulator is not as good as Xiaozhi, although it cannot detect the superpowers in Tangning's body, it can also give a capability limit that is far higher than the body side according to his activity video.
However, Tang Ning was not going to teach Zhao Qinghai this goodness, and the purpose of this simulator is not to train psychics, but to train ordinary people.
So although Tangning's physical fitness in the data Zhao Donghai saw was full, this was also a common phenomenon among the returnees back then. In fact, Tangning is now in a "weak" state of suppression of his ability by the simulator.
However, fighting against mutant beasts in a weak state is also one of the subjects he and Xiaozhi's daily training. Even if he has that strange ability, it cannot be said that he will definitely not have three disasters and six diseases, and he will never be injured, right?
Tang Ning was like a chameleon, moving slowly and with a slight frequency that confuses his opponent, he stretched his hand to his back little by little, and took off the long knife bit by little.
The ability of the bone knife was also suppressed by Tang Ning, and he didn't want to "cheat" too much.
In the end, this simulated battle became an ordinary person with slightly better physical strength. He used a slightly harder ordinary long sword to show his ability and means to solve a wilderness mutant beast.
So this is actually no longer a battle. There are many such people in the outer desert towns. The professions they engage in are almost the same as what Tang Ning has to do now.
The wilderness hunter.
But even the most powerful wilderness hunter would never be arrogant enough to use a long sword to challenge the armored armadillo with a huge body, covered with iron armor, and weighing three tons.
The long knife and the scabbard were slowly removed, and Tang Ning slowly advanced, climbed in front of a ball of fresh armadillo feces, and inserted the hilt of the long knife into it.
Then Tang Ning made a more disgusting move, placing his chest on the ball of feces, and slowly pulling the long knife out from under his body.
The blade was covered with the feces of armored armadilloes, covering up the glimmer.
By this time, Tang Ning had climbed to the side of the armadillo and waited quietly under the cover of a giant tree.
The armored armadillo is covered with iron armor, including the eyes, and the ears and nose wings can be closed.
However, there are two places where even armored armadillos cannot evolve to cover with iron armor due to functional problems.
Organs closely related to biological growth and reproduction will basically be their extremely fragile places - mating devices and fertilization holes.
Wood chips are everywhere and branches are flying.
At the Security Command, Zhang Yucheng looked at the young soldier beside him staring at the light curtain: "You are the person involved back then, how about you? How about the treasure your father picked up?"
The young soldier is called Xiang Hui. The current commander of the brigade of the military's reconnaissance brigade in the residential area is an elite and new force in the army. The formerly he led was Zhang Yucheng's starting force. In the seventh coup in Datong, the decisive armed force - the Security Reconnaissance Battalion.
And what is very interesting is that Xiang Shouchuan, the company commander of the Third Company of the First Battalion of the Reconnaissance Brigade who brought Tang Ning back to the base, was both Xiang Hui's subordinate and Xiang Hui's father.
Xiang Shouchuan was a survivor who fought in blood and fire from the beginning of the establishment of the settlement area. He and many of the return-comrades from that time were brothers who could entrust their lives to each other. He admired them so much that he admired them.
Xiang Shouchuan was not a returnee, but because of the opposition team's returnee movements in recent years, he was transferred from the position of brigade commander of the reconnaissance brigade to the company commander.
However, Zhang Yucheng appointed his son Xiang Hui to replace the position of brigade commander of the reconnaissance brigade. It cannot be said that he has no resentment towards the policy of the Joint Council.
Xiang Hui stared at the screen: "Why did he use cold weapons?"
"Because he can only use cold weapons." Zhang Yucheng replied very simply: "In the era of the alliance, there was no such thing as hot weapons at all. The so-called hot weapons only exist in your virtual games."
"The thermal weapons in the settlement areas are now designed by archaeologists and scientists of the Academy of Sciences, combining games and historical data, and exploring and designing them little by little in the engineering machinery factory."
"By the way, the deputy team leader in the design team responsible for archaeological excavation and cracking of encrypted military drawings is Tang Ning's father, Tang Pu."
Just now, Tang Ning, who had been slow to a close pause in the picture, suddenly burst out like a crossbow arrow that had been lying on the crossbow bed, waiting quietly, and was now pulled by someone and pushed by the released crossbow string!
...
The opportunity comes from a ninety-degree turn of the armored armadillo.
The armadillo did not find Tang Ning from beginning to end. Even though Tang Ning had touched the huge dead tree beside it, the armadillo did not notice it at all.
It is still busy chopping trees and eating happily.
The special frequency of the worms in the giant tree squirming and transmitting to the outside of the wood completely attracted the attention of the armadillo, like a huge chisel, splitting the dead wood with the sharp mouth of the head and chising it into its own target bit by bit.
During the process of grabbing and chiseling, the giant tree was pushed by the armadillo and constantly changed its angle. Finally, at a certain moment, it exposed its most vulnerable part to the front and upper Tangning under him.
Tangning is like a super patient wilderness hunter. It has been three hours since he entered the game. Three hours of preparation and waiting are for this momentary explosion.
The nearly ninety-cm blade pierced through the fertile hole without any response from the armored armadillo, and it penetrated into its body until it reached its handle!
The armadillo stiffened for a moment. Taking this opportunity, Tang Ning had already pulled out his long sword like lightning, and rotated his wrist while rotating, and then flashed several meters away with agility that ordinary people rarely had.
The armadillo bounced up several meters in a strange posture, which was its instinctive risk avoidance mechanism. It then jumped up among a large pile of dead trees. The heavy body and long tail made of steel armor swept the dead trees to burst and fly.
Tang Ning quietly put his knife in the sheath, returned his back to his back, and took advantage of the huge chaos of the dead wood flying, and he lay on the ground and retreated further and further.
But this time it was much faster.
Soon Tang Ning had retreated hundreds of meters away and hid in a pit.
The knife just now destroyed the important organs in the lower abdomen of the armored armadillo. Although the momentum of the armadillo when it was dying was terrifying, everyone knew that the test was over.
Xiang Hui's corner muscles kept twitching slightly. The real situation at that time was like the one in the picture. After the armadillo was irritated, he fought back frantically, resulting in the death of more than a dozen left-behind soldiers.
Thinking about the power of the metal weighing several tons, jumping and sweeping in the base, the final appearance of those warriors is unbearable to witness.
When Tang Ning was retreating just now, he could always quickly avoid the giant trees coming from the sky or falling from the sky. From beginning to end, the armadillo did not notice him at all.
"The process is very boring, the method is very simple, right?" Zhang Yucheng said to Xiang Hui: "Three hours of patience lurked, retreat with all your strength after one blow, and then... wait for the end."
"He is very strong." Xiang Hui's cheeks showed his bulging muscles.
"Of course he is very strong." Zhang Yucheng said: "With a little better physical fitness than an ordinary person, he can kill an armadillo that weighs up to three tons and is stronger than steel with a cold weapon with an 86 cm blade length. Of course he is very strong."
"What's even more amazing is that his physical fitness parameters, heartbeat, breathing, and the whole process are very stable."
"Faced with such a giant beast, even in a virtual environment, you should be a little afraid, right?"
"He didn't."
"So now I know why I insist on absorbing the source of troops from Huangzhen? Physical fitness is only one aspect, but more importantly, here." After Zhang Yucheng said, he habitually pointed his temples with his fingers.
"I want this person." Xiang Hui said.
"The day before yesterday, he stayed in the guard room of the West District Security Branch of the Fourth Tower floor for a night, and the matters he had done by his own management." Zhang Yucheng's tone was very plain: "In the guard room, he also shocked seven or eight gangsters who were in trouble."
"His home is in Lane 4 of Machine Factory Street. Just last night, the Self-Management Council was gone."
"The Ministry of the Interior's self-control committee's action was very smooth. The key is that Ma San assassinated Tang Ning with weapons, and finally committed suicide at Tang Ning's house. Before his death, Shen Longcheng and He Jiu were involved, saying that they were framed."
"So the Self-Management Council was not killed by the Ministry of the Interior. Like Ma San, it was actually suicide."
The armored armadillo in the synchronous screen stumbled and finally fell to death.
"I understand. It seems that everyone wants this Tang Ning."
"Well, so don't worry. Now this is just a temporary situation. There are always times when the military needs a place of settlement."
"The honor of a soldier is not obtained through prayer, but can only be won with blood."
Xiang Hui saluted Zhang Yucheng and turned around and left silently.
