Chapter 117 Unknown Drone
Murphy's Law.
Anything that can go wrong will eventually go wrong.
In other words, any situation that you worry about is also likely to happen.
Sure enough, just when Chen Fan realized that there might be some kind of "predator" in this forest, an unexpected situation occurred.
With a faint buzzing sound coming from the front, Yi also sounded the alarm.
"Alarm!"
"Five hundred meters ahead, an unknown flying object has been detected."
"Preliminary judgment that the flying object is a small drone!"
"Approaching, four hundred meters, three hundred and fifty meters..."
Scarlet warning information began to flash in the azure holographic projection in front of him.
Chen Fan held his right hand in a hollow grip, and the PW-1 disguised as a pistol appeared in his hand in a burst of fluorescent green light.
"Be careful!"
He stared straight ahead at the gully and issued a warning to Gao Yuan and Isa beside him: "There is a drone coming in front!"
Because of the rock walls on both sides, he could only see a small forest directly in front of the gully.
But this problem was soon solved.
As a sharp sonic boom sounded from high in the sky, the holographic panel beside him quickly showed the aerial footage from the micro-detection drone:
a small drone with four blades and a black-gray body was freely shuttling through the lush jungle.
The strong wind caused by the rotating blades rustled the leaves of the trees, and the dead branches and rotten leaves on the ground were also blown into the air.
But these complicated situations did not affect the actions of this drone.
It quickly planned a suitable route, bypassed various obstacles at a very fast speed, and swooped towards the gully terrain where Chen Fan and the other two were!
The newcomer is not friendly! ! Chen Fan
just took a look at the posture of the drone, and this word emerged in his mind.
He raised his right hand with a solemn expression. When he put his index finger on the trigger, the holographic panel in front of him shrank instantly, replaced by two holographic crosshairs of different colors.
One of the crosshairs was the direction that Chen Fan's gun was aiming at, and the other crosshairs was the predicted area calculated in real time based on the running route of the drone.
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the silent heart in his chest began to beat strongly again.
Two hundred meters, one hundred meters! !
The buzzing sound became louder and louder, and the forest in front seemed to be disturbed by an unknown force and began to shake uncontrollably!
Suddenly!
Bang! ! !
With the sound of a dull explosion, the buzzing sound that was about to reach its peak suddenly stopped, and the shaking forest in front gradually calmed down after a violent tremor.
Then, a faint black smoke rose from the woods.
"Fan, Brother Fan?"
Gao Yuan let go of the stone in his hand and turned his head to look at Chen Fan: "Did you shoot?"
Isa also slowly lowered her hand and hid the mechanical arm in her black robe.
As for Chen Fan...
He looked at the increasing smoke, his eyes full of astonishment: "I haven't seen the target yet, how can I shoot?"
"No, that's not right!"
After a brief confusion of thought, Chen Fan quickly realized the problem: "There are others in the woods!"
The moment the voice fell, the originally reduced holographic panel quickly enlarged and began to replay the scene just now.
Just as the drone was about to rush out of the lush forest, a yellow bullet shot from a distance and accurately shattered a blade of the black-gray drone.
Losing balance, the flight trajectory of the drone suddenly deviated greatly.
In an instant, the black-gray drone directly hit a big tree next to it.
Boom!
The huge impact force directly scrapped the drone completely. With bursts of black smoke from the burning, it finally tumbled a few times and fell on the ground full of wet fallen leaves.
The camera quickly zoomed out.
On a seemingly ordinary ground that was also covered with fallen leaves, a dark hole appeared out of thin air!
Several men in linen clothes came out of the cave with excitement on their faces.
Obviously, shooting down this drone was a very important happy event for them!
Chen Fan looked at the guns held by the men in the holographic screen, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Rebel members?"
He gently released his right hand, and the PW-1 disappeared again in a burst of fluorescent green light.
Then, he winked at Gao Yuan and Isa beside him, took a step, and quickly rushed towards the woods ahead.
...
"Wow, I'm lucky today. I can catch a drone!"
"I hope the fusion battery inside the drone is not damaged. That thing is worth a lot of money!"
"Haha, it must not be! I saw it clearly. Xiao Jiang's shot hit the propeller of the drone!"
"Not bad, not bad, Xiao Jiang, your shooting skills are getting more and more accurate."
Listening to the praise from the people around him, Jiang Haichuan raised his hand and rubbed his somewhat stiff face, revealing a not-so-obvious smile: "Luck, it's all luck."
Having said that, he still cast a burning gaze at the area in front of him with black smoke.
Drone fusion battery...
If he can get a drone fusion battery that can work properly, his current predicament can be greatly improved!
Thinking of this, Jiang Haichuan's eyes became more expectant.
He followed his companions and ran quickly towards the area where the drone crashed.
"What a pity."
Before he reached his destination, a rough and annoyed voice broke his fantasy: "The impact was too strong. The fusion battery is probably scrapped."
Hearing this, Jiang Haichuan's heart sank, and he quickened his pace and ran to the side of the drone.
The fire on the fuselage had been extinguished, but the pungent smell of burning still floated in the air.
He picked up a dead branch from the ground beside him and skillfully moved the wreckage of the drone in front of him.
The broken black-gray shell was quickly opened, and the light green circuit board had some traces of burning.
But this is not the key.
The key is the metal cube device in the center of the fuselage.
A huge dent appeared on the fusion battery, which was supposed to be a standard cube, and a corresponding notch appeared on the circuit board next to it.
Obviously, as the middle-aged man said, the collision when the drone lost control was too violent, and the fragile fusion battery was directly scrapped.
Jiang Haichuan's face darkened instantly.
The scrapped fusion battery instantly reduced the residual value of this drone by 90%.
"How could this happen..."
Jiang Haichuan lowered his head a little frustrated, and his originally fiery eyes cooled again.
"Xiao Jiang, don't lose heart."
Seeing Jiang Haichuan like this, the middle-aged man in sackcloth clothes with a huge scar on his arm walked up to him and patted his shoulder with a smile: "There are many drones in the world."
"With your pistol skills, you will be able to pay off your debts and return to normal life sooner or later."
Jiang Haichuan nodded silently, cheered up and began to clean up the drone wreckage in front of him.
Although the value of these wreckages is far less than that of fusion batteries, they are still rare treasures for the underground city with scarce resources.
Just as Jiang Haichuan was about to distribute the spoils with his companions, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the woods.
After a short daze, these men who had been licking blood on the tip of a knife for many years instantly put down the drone wreckage in their hands, and raised the somewhat rough guns in their hands to the direction of the footsteps.
"Intelligent machine?"
The middle-aged man with a huge scar on his arm looked solemn, his finger gently pressed on the trigger, and asked softly.
"No, no, no, we are our own people, we are our own people!!"
Along with a full-bodied voice, a not-so-strong figure emerged from behind a thick tree trunk.
...
A faint, almost invisible blue barrier flashed in front of Chen Fan.
[The individual protective force field has been activated. ]
Listening to the electronic synthesis voice in his mind, Chen Fan felt relieved.
With a faint smile on his lips, he raised his hands and walked in front of these suspected members of the resistance army: "We are our own people, all of us."
"Don't get excited."
As he said, he took the opportunity to look at the clothes and faces of the men in front of him.
The clothes he wore were slightly worn out, and the material was also relatively poor coarse linen, which was incomparable to the exquisitely crafted clothes on his body.
As for weapons...
basically the most traditional old-fashioned gunpowder firearms, not even the relatively advanced electromagnetic pistols and electromagnetic rifles.
In addition, these men had more or less scars on their faces and bodies.
The most eye-catching one was the middle-aged man in the lead.
A scar that looked like a giant centipede appeared on the middle-aged man's shoulder and continued to extend downward to the back of his palm.
Against the backdrop of these scars, these men all had some invisible evil spirits.
Looking at the middle-aged man with a bit of banditry not far away, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a little confused about his original guess: Are these people in front of him... really the resistance army?
"Our own people?"
A rough voice came from the middle-aged man in the lead: "I don't know a big shot like you."
The middle-aged man did not hide his hostile eyes.
"When did you big shots also want to come to the ground to play?"
Chen Fan was slightly stunned.
On the ground?
Could it be that... these people in front of him live under the ground?
Thinking of the pit that suddenly appeared in the holographic screen just now, and looking at the pale skin of these men due to lack of light, Chen Fan suddenly understood.
In order to avoid the goddess, or in other words, to avoid the killing of the intelligent machines, the remaining humans shifted their front line and chose to survive underground...
This is indeed a good way.
"Uncle Dong is asking you a question, why are you standing there?!"
A relatively young man tightened the old-fashioned pistol in his hand and questioned Chen Fan.
"Misunderstanding." Chen Fan pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a relatively sincere smile again, "It's all misunderstanding, I'm not a big shot."
P.S.: Let me explain.
Previously, it was 2,000 words per chapter, 3 chapters a day, 6,000 words.
Recently, I asked, and they said that 3,000 words per chapter is better for the data.
So from now on, it should be 3,000 words per chapter, 2 chapters a day, the number of words and content will not change, but the number of chapters will be a little less.
