Then, a rectangular opening opened at its tail, and a folding sled was released and automatically unfolded on the ice.
The three of them stood on the sled together, and the equipment box began to pull them towards the location detected by the drone.
While the equipment box wasn't very fast, it was stable and reliable. Eleven kilometers wasn't a long distance, and after skirting several ice holes and thaw chasms, they arrived at the signal point.
It was already evening, and the cold wind from east to west began to intensify again. It blew the snow foam on the ice surface into the air and hit everyone evenly, making a "kala kala" sound.
Several people saw some missile fragments scattered here, which meant that they were very close to the target.
Political Commissar Xiao looked around and was the first to discover the protrusion on the ground.
A massive cylindrical object lay to their left, its western side covered in accumulated ice and snow. Its exterior remained intact, but on the side facing them, several large red characters remained unscathed by the snow and wind.
Due to time constraints, Old Wu didn't consider how the object had survived until now. He hurriedly controlled the equipment box and moved towards it, but before he could reach it, a bright yellow beam of light descended from the sky.
Attacks at the speed of light are unpredictable. Either you can't see them, or you're hit the moment you see them.
The devastating laser pierced through the viewfinder on the top of the exoskeleton, and then passed through the pressure-resistant shell, exoskeleton interlayer, pipelines, lining, hair, skin, fat, muscles, skull, brain nerves, mandible, muscles, fat, two layers of skin, fat, right clavicle, diaphragm, right thoracic lung lobe...
Steam erupted above Old Wu's head and beneath his feet, and a fist-sized hole appeared on the ice. He shuddered, but before he could feel the pain, the second, third, and fourth beams of light followed.
Jiang Ling wasn't paying attention to the sky at first; it took her 0.2 seconds to react. The curved shield absorbed the next three attacks, and the lasers, refracted in all directions, still retained much of their energy. Several of them struck the equipment crate and Political Commissar Xiao, but luckily, they were spared any damage.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Xiao took over the control of the equipment box and drove it to the bottom of the cylinder without thinking twice before stopping.
After jumping off the sled and using the equipment boxes and missile wreckage as cover, they had a chance to check their injuries.
"System self-check!" Political Commissar Xiao shouted with gritted teeth as he looked at Old Wu who had stopped struggling.
In extreme circumstances, only by prioritizing your own safety can you have a chance to save others.
