Chapter 165 158: Double-Headed Ox: This Really Is the End (Part 1)

When Yan Shaohua and the armored units entered the main area of Xiaolianzi Mountain, they simultaneously completed the task of occupying strategic depth.A few kilometers away from them.

The third infantry brigade, which had long since arrived at the southern position, also showed movement.

The original unit of this infantry brigade was a powerful synthetic brigade from the Eastern War, which had previously achieved a ranking in the top ten brigades nationwide and was consistently ranked in the top three within the Eastern War.

You could even say.

If you disregard heavy weaponry and focus solely on infantry tactical skills, this infantry brigade is in no way inferior to any wealthy brigades of the Rabbits.

At this moment.

The brigade commander, Wan Yongming, stood at the foot of the mountain, observing the distance through a military binocular.

Looking at the northern and southern sections of Xiaolianzi Mountain, which had been cut off from the spine, he turned to Commissar Wu Wen and said,

"Old Wu, the main assault direction has completely severed the beast passage; it's time for us to take the stage.

Send the order down: the first and second battalions will break in from the side peak at a 25° angle southeast.

The third and fourth battalions will form a blockade line from the other side, working with the fifth to eighth battalions to capture the dual-headed cows at the southern plains intersection.

Notify Battalion Commander Su in the south, authorize him to independently decide the timing of activating the Dragon Roar Talisman!

The engineer company will first deploy the electronic dogs and jammers, everyone will follow the standard three-three system.

All units, attack!"

With Wan Yongming's order, the entire infantry brigade instantly transitioned from static to dynamic.

As mentioned earlier.

The Xiaolianzi Mountain's entire mountain range forms a pattern of high peaks on the north side, flatness on the south side, and a long narrow middle with narrower sides, covering over forty square kilometers.

If this description is hard to understand, from a bird's-eye view it can be described as a rectangle with a longer base.

It's approximately like this: (charged by word count, not space)

...............（O Point）

Main forest assault→███████←Infantry Brigade

..............（V Point）

Therefore, Xiaolianzi can be considered approximately ten kilometers long and four kilometers wide.

The perimeter is roughly twenty-eight thousand meters—there is certainly some deviation, as the mountain forest can't be an exact rectangle, but calculating as a standard rectangle is more convenient for understanding.

There are more than twenty-four thousand warriors of the Rabbits this time, adding over three hundred artillery and over six hundred heavy weapons.

Covering an average shooting range of ten meters per person is exceedingly easy.

Bear in mind that in a standard siege battle, the average coverage shooting range for both attack and defense is 25 meters.

Not to mention, the main assault direction is typically many more artillery and fewer personnel: only two synthetic brigades excluding the O and V Points, thus higher personnel investment density is required in the southern direction.

......

"Bang——"

A shell approximately the size of a mouse flew out from the tube at 1.4 times the speed of sound and accurately hit a dual-headed cow more than ten meters away.

As the shell hit the cow, a thin needle with an injection tube swiftly pierced into the dual-headed cow's body, and the tail began to flash red and blue lights.

At the same time.

Guided by a predetermined trajectory within the shell, five Tier One Sealing Talismans were ejected and covered five nodes within 0.17 seconds.

Subsequently, the talismans at these five nodes instantly formed a closed space, tightly constricting the dual-headed cow to the ground.

With the assistance of cutting-edge five-point six-face scattering technology in the aviation field, this Tier One early-stage dual-headed cow was successfully captured in just 0.36 seconds!

Its body, twice as large as a normal cow's, couldn't move an inch under the suppression of the Tier One Sealing Talisman.

The Sealing Talisman is a charm with very obvious advantages and disadvantages:

The disadvantage is that forming a closed area without technology is too difficult, while the advantage is its powerful suppression effect.

Currently, under the trajectory guidance of five-point six-face scattering technology, the speed of constructing a sealing area is more than twenty times that of the Damo Realm natives.

The value for money skyrocketed countless times.

Near the dual-headed cow, there are another three dual-headed cows already fallen to the ground!

Finishing the capture task, Squad Leader Lei carefully signaled the rest of the team to remain alert, then quickly walked with the sealing launcher to a warrior and asked concernedly:

"Comrade Xiaozhao, are you alright?"

Although every infantry squad is equipped with fourth-generation thermal imaging night vision devices and an engineer with an electronic dog and short-wave detector to assist in searching.

The terrain in this mountain forest is extremely complicated—particularly in the Damo Realm, this fantasy world where strange and peculiar large trees or stones can often be found.

In this remote mountain forest like Xiaolianzi Mountain, some trees reach close to a hundred meters in height—this height is almost as high as Earth's tallest tree species, the Australian Almond Eucalyptus.

Thus, some beast locations are extremely concealed.

For example, earlier when Lei encountered these dual-headed cows, they also faced several bear demons advancing with them.

Initially, the infantry squad discovered only three bear demons in the frontal direction and quickly killed them, then proceeded to capture the dual-headed cows.

However, something Lei didn't anticipate.

Another bear demon was hiding behind a rock, utilizing the detection blind spot to launch a surprise attack on the infantry squad members.

A fierce flame full-force sprayed from its mouth, penetrating Engineer Xiaozhao's spiritual energy shield, narrowly grazing his right arm and striking a tree stump.

Of course.

At present, the bear demon has already been turned into a sieve by the 97-2 type shotguns carried by the infantry squad.

Facing the concerned look from Lei Li, Xiaozhao, who was adjusting his state while leaning against a rock, grinned and shook his head:

"Squad Leader Lei, I'm fine, let's keep going!"

Seeing this, Lei Li sighed inwardly.

Although Xiaozhao was a soldier in the engineering company and not one of his direct subordinates,

since the other party was currently assigned to his infantry squad, Lei Li felt obliged to fulfill a squad leader's duty.

He was certain that Xiaozhao was injured.

So he squatted down, took Xiaozhao's arm, and said:

"I saw that flame brush past your arm, and you still say you're fine?

During the exercise before, I was hit by the flash bullet and got burned on the spot.

Comrade Xiaozhao, let me tell you, this is not a minor issue. The minimum creature that could break a spiritual shield in one hit is at least a late-stage Tier One beast, which corresponds to Cultivators above the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.

This sort of attack might carry some aftereffects... Hmm?"

Lei Li looked at Xiaozhao's arm with some confusion.

He saw that the arm, which in his expectation should have been extensively burnt, or at least covered in blisters, did not have even a slight burn.

He rubbed his eyes incredulously and said:

"Eh, this, this is impossible... I clearly saw that flame brush past your hand..."

Seeing his temporary squad leader a bit dazed, Xiaozhao smiled and pointed at his tactical suit:

"Squad Leader Lei, did you see this suit I'm wearing?

This is a tactical suit specially configured by the headquarters for reconnaissance soldiers. The helmet has VCP sensing technology on all four corners, and my backpack has condensation particles.

The sensing equipment anticipated the trajectory of the flame before it hit me, transmitting a large amount of condensation particles to this area immediately.


The main body of the flame didn't hit me, and when its heat was neutralized by the efficient condensation particles, I naturally was unharmed.

It's just that since this tactical suit isn't mass-produced yet, it's only provisionally available for us frontline engineers."

Just as Xiaozhao said.

VCP sensing technology is currently the core research direction of the fifth-generation tactical suits internationally.

Also known as the legendary dynamic protection.

Its theoretical concept is actually quite simple:

While maintaining the original protection level of bulletproof armor, it internally adds a secondary sensing defense system similar to an airbag.

This sensing system is very lightweight, is not activated under normal conditions, and barely adds any weight.

The combat helmet paired with the suit has a type of kinetic optical sensing element.

This sensing element can capture directional high-speed kinetic energy within a 200-meter range in one-thousandth of a second, calculate which part the bullet will hit, and rapidly activate the secondary defense system at that part.

Of course.

Due to material issues, this secondary defense system primarily relies on chemical reactions.

That is, certain substances react to form a very durable and cushioning new material in an extremely short time—this duration requirement is exceedingly brief, making the core challenge of this technology lie in the direction of the accelerator's formulation.

Currently, this technology is still somewhat ahead on the other side of the ocean, with the fastest reaction time being 0.034 seconds.

After all, their related expenditure each year is truly extensive...

Next are the rabbits, with 0.043 seconds.

Third is the balding brotherland, with 0.079 seconds, a fair distance away.

And the chemical reaction speed necessary to block bullets with an initial velocity over 800 meters is roughly within 0.02 seconds, with a theoretical best of 0.015.

Thus, VCP technology is not yet fully mature in regards to thermal weapons.

However, compared to bulletproof difficulties, the current VCP technology is already being deployed in practical use for firefighting.

The specific operational mode is that the firefighting suit has a thermal sensing system that quickly transports the condensed substances from the backpack to the area of high temperature through conduits for regional cooling.

Like the great fire in Australia, the rabbits and the eagles both provided complimentary assistance with a phase of VCP fire suits.

Don't ask why, it's all about international aid; there's no such thing as being a tool.

The battle suits equipped by the rabbits this time follow the same principle.

Except it has adjusted the precision of the thermal sensing system to an aviation level and optimized the related conduits, allowing the condensation particles to be transmitted into position in a minimal time.

The technology truly isn't easy, but transmitting finished condensation particles is far simpler than an onsite reaction.

Moreover, the engineers' tactical suits include corrosion-resistant technology.

After all, the means of Damo Realm Cultivators are another matter, but at least many monster attacks take the form of thermal and kinetic energy, or are from the corrosive acid of scaled giant snakes.

The problem of evading kinetic energy is conceptually similar to blocking bullets, and currently, it's still difficult to solve this aspect of the secondary defense system.

But in situations like Xiaozhao's, where the fireball didn't hit, using condensation particles to preemptively reach the area and block high temperatures to prevent burns is no big problem.

Even sensitive skin can use it, yo.

After confirming Xiaozhao was okay, Lei Li stood up, ready to continue advancing—the Tier One Sealing Talisman, upon hitting the two-headed ox, fired a needle tube, with a locator on the tube, which could be used to inject anesthetics.

Thus, the subsequent transportation issue can just be handed off to the logistics department, and their infantry squad doesn't need to transport these two-headed oxen.

However, before he could speak, the command from the battalion headquarters came through the earpiece:

"Attention all combat units, attention all combat units, please accelerate capture speed, the Dragon Roar Talisman will be activated in the direction of the plains in half an hour!"
