Chapter 5: Super Electromagnetic Cannon

A previous wave of precision missile strikes has eliminated the last remaining counterattack capability of the wasteland warriors

Jiang Xia felt the gaze of the old soldier

Yet in this hopeless world, one survives by learning to ignore the ravaged reality like others, immersing oneself in those false pleasures and decadence

He took out two plasma grenades from his lower back, took a deep breath, jumped out from the bombed shelter, activated the hyper-frequency mode in his legs, and limped towards the hunter.

But after that loud bang, the entire sandy area seemed to fall completely silent, with no more sounds of ammunition roaring, and even the swirling sand and wind became pure.

The intelligent sight in front features a rapidly pulsating triangular cursor, locking onto the rust-red painted robot amidst the swirling dust ahead

Young man, please lend a hand

A few seconds later, the dazed wasteland warrior, with black hair, Su, shook his head and crawled out of the sandpit, dragging his broken arm

He looked at the "gun" in his hand

He gritted his teeth and forcefully tore off his headscarf, revealing his unkempt beard and withered cheeks

He raised the silver-white, gaudily painted electromagnetic sniper rifle in his hand, said something to Su, and without further ado, pulled the half-paralyzed Su out of the pit

However, its destructive power is immense. If it were to be launched again from this distance, it would undoubtedly annihilate everyone present, along with the temple ruins that this secret society has painstakingly located.

What difference is there between such a life and death

With just a gentle tug, the young man's head before me would explode.

He placed his hands on the grip and trigger of the electromagnetic gun

It resembles a miniature version of the super-large experimental model of the electromagnetic cannon that Jiang Xia has seen several times, yet it does not exceed Jiang Xia's understanding of firearms

Su raised his head, and in the midst of the wind and sand before him, a peculiar figure with a wrapped head was crouching down beside him, that figure picked up his electromagnetic heavy sniper rifle from beside him

In the moment when the trigger was pulled in Jiangxia, without any delay, amidst the astonished gaze of the determined leader charging forward, a sudden burst of flames erupted from the waist of the over three-meter-tall hunter robot.

The launch of the electromagnetic gun is accompanied only by a faint sound of electrical surges

That fellow tilted his head, just taking down the electromagnetic sniper rifle from his hands

However, after several attempts, it was still unable to launch

The left arm prosthesis was damaged again, causing him to lose some balance

Certainly, such a suicide attack would also result in one's own death

Now, here, I am in charge

It is evident that this object features a design similar to an identity lock

A current at the milliampere level flows into the acceleration guide from the coil

Not quite like a wasteland dweller

It is imperative to eliminate it before the missile launch

Red in color, without any coating, yet already covered in rust spots

This object is quite similar to the firearms remembered from Jiangxia, featuring a grip, a trigger, and a handguard, yet it lacks a traditional gun barrel.

The old warrior propped himself up and raised his head

Otherwise, the hope that our own brothers have been desperately seeking will be extinguished here

In the midst of the swirling yellow sand, the distant sandstorm has surged into this area, obscuring the light, yet one can still faintly see that in the weapon bay of the distant hunter, a second missile has been launched

Like an invisible fist, it precisely pierced through the energy shell of the hunter in that moment

Reload, aim, and pull the trigger

He was wearing a headscarf, obscuring his expression, but from those distinctly black and white eyes, one could clearly see a hint of curiosity and a trace of relief

In the next moment, under Su's gaze, the muzzle rail of his beloved electromagnetic sniper rifle slowly moved and finally rested against his own forehead

The safety insurance device was subsequently activated, causing the robot control system to immediately go offline, and the power supply was cut off, preventing a major explosion. The missile launch system behind it lost power in its final moments and came to a halt

His gaze scrutinized the young man from head to toe, and Jiang Xia was particularly intrigued by the mechanical prosthetic on Su that was clearly not made of flesh and blood

In this deadly hail of bullets, this strange man seemed to have lost his mind, standing up nonchalantly after retreating several steps away, completely without any defense

Bullets were flying all around, but Jiang Xia remained indifferent

At the rear end of the guide rail, there is an electromagnetic excitation coil device

Like ancient artifacts

By controlling through a chip, the internal prosthetic circulatory system is shut down

Jiang Xia squinted at the bewildered young wasteland warrior, slightly pulling back his headscarf, brushing aside the dust and gravel from his hair, and said

The entire process flows smoothly and is completed in one go

As a polite person, Old Jiang immediately provided a response

This missile is a weapon that has been outdated for a long time

More computational power was squeezed into the personal fire control system, where the bionic left eye adjusted the targeting halo, continuously calculating the position, ultimately locking onto the target

He assumed a combat stance, leisurely resting the electromagnetic sniper rifle on his hands, with the stock against his shoulder

In the astonished gazes that rose around, the pulse rifle in the leader's hand was precisely struck by a triangular projectile, shattering and exploding completely

Only a pair of distinctly black and white eyes are revealed

What replaces it are three silver tracks extending outward and splitting apart

The immense kinetic energy brings about tremendous destructive power

In the next moment, under Su's bewildered gaze, Jiang Xia shifted his body outward, braving the incessant sand and smoke blowing in front of him, completely disregarding the suppressive fire from the robot

His movements were powerful and swift, full of courage, but during the second round of retreat, he was struck in the left arm by a bullet, causing his entire arm to explode. Amidst the flying sparks, he was also propelled away by the force of the impact

The young people at the rear are carrying three injured individuals and are moving further back.

The seasoned warrior at the forefront had his arm blown off, and was dragged back to the shelter from the half-buried spot by a young man who was transporting the wounded; both of them were covered in dust and dirt

He was anxious to support the leader, but he had previously been affected by a strong electromagnetic shock, which caused issues with the chip in his brain and the cybernetic implants in his body, making him feel unsteady, as if he were drunk

The fire extinguishing device was activated, and a white smoke instantly enveloped the robot

Jiang Xia said a sentence

Yet, even with a resolute determination to embrace death, the path leading to it is fraught with unforeseen events

Jiang Xia also turned back, looking at Su who was trying hard to get up

Before the leader could charge out from the cover, the six-barreled cannon on the robot's left arm began to suppressively fire in that direction as if it had foreseen the event

The old soldier glanced back, and Su was still rescuing the wounded. The heavy machine gun position that had been firing continuously had also ceased, and there was no more fire support.

Looking down the barrel of the gun, Jiang Xia's finger still rested on the trigger

bang

He was fiddling with this thing in a seemingly proficient manner

If there is indeed hope in this world, then let it be reserved for those who have always believed in themselves

Shoot through its main battery pack with a single shot

3 milliseconds

The sandstorm is becoming increasingly severe

The exposed cheeks are somewhat overly pale

He seems to have been injured, with blood seeping from his arm, yet he is wearing a strange, tattered long robe. On his head, like the wasteland warriors, he has wrapped a cloth around it to cover his mouth and nose

In the swirling sand and dust, the old soldier turned back, still holding the plasma grenade with the safety pin removed in his hand. He looked back and saw a stranger standing next to Su.

A pair of peculiar, tattered cloth shoes, patched roughly, would likely find no wearers in the wasteland

It is just not the time to ask this now

In the next moment, as Jiang Xia skillfully pulled the safety, the sci-fi-shaped heavy sniper rifle began to discharge and charge at the coil. A triangular ammunition was ejected from the magazine and placed into the rail

Everything is under control

Thank you

It was as if the fierce battle just now was merely a dream

The bullets from the frenzied shooting interrupted the cover of the stone pillar, shattering the stone slabs and forcing the soldiers who had just emerged back down again

A familiar feeling rises to the surface of my mind

He fell down as soon as he got up, awkwardly lying on the scorching ground, surrounded by swirling sand and wind. Then, he saw a foot appear before his eyes

The projectile of the triangle, in the super strong electromagnetic field of the guide rail, is endowed with an initial kinetic energy converted from 5 megajoules of energy

Click

This thing is quite good, very exciting, but it lacks a sense of gunpowder, which feels a bit unusual. Let me introduce myself, my name is Jiang Xia, a... um, businessman

With the sound of a gunshot voiced by Jiangxia himself, the cold trigger was pulled
