The straight-line distance is thirty kilometers.
A temporary camp was built in the deserted wilderness at some point, and the guards outside the camp were some burly men three or four meters tall wearing heavy armor. Their exposed skin was covered with wrinkles, and some even had hideous tumors, making them look like zombie tyrants.
These monsters with explosive muscles are a group of super mutants.
They are part of the American Super Soldier Program before the apocalypse, a group of soldiers infected with the Forced Evolutionary Virus. The FEV virus is a synthetic virus that is not naturally produced, but developed by a US virus laboratory during the Cold War. The main purpose is to make humans more adaptable and not even afraid of the nuclear radiation caused by nuclear weapons explosions.
However, the side effects of this virus are also obvious. It can turn people into violent, brainless monsters and completely lose their reproductive ability.
The FEV virus eliminates most diseases in human genes and greatly enhances human regeneration and muscle strength, so these super mutants are basically small giants over three meters tall and weigh more than 400 kilograms, which is basically due to the enhanced bones and super muscles. Therefore, super mutants do not even need exoskeleton armor. Even if they are equipped with simple and heavy steel plates, they are also extremely terrifying killing machines on the battlefield.
However, the super mutants stationed here at the moment are not simple, because each of them is wearing heavy exoskeleton armor.
This means that they are not wild monsters infected with the FEV virus in the wilderness, but a group of war machines raised by humans and bred in laboratories.
Currently, there is only one force in the entire wasteland that can do this.
That's the college.
Strictly speaking, it is a part of the academy, the former genetic school, now a splinter academy force known as the Southern Rebels.
About three years ago, the Academy's Genetics School was devastated by a powerful being and almost gave up most of North America. They retreated to the south for a while, and after realizing that the terrifying being seemed to have suddenly disappeared, these rats hiding underground began to stretch out their claws and secretly captured humans in the gathering place for genetic modification experiments.
The sudden disappearance of people in many settlements in North America is currently closely related to the concern of the genetics school.
The mechanical school only needs material resources, but the genetic school needs population resources most.
Therefore, after the split of the academy, especially after the all-out war with the Mechanical School, the researchers of the Genetic School let go of their previous ethical concerns. They could even cooperate with the predators and directly engage in the human trafficking business.
The slave trade in the entire American continent suddenly flourished in the past two years.
Another serious accusation against them is that the mechanical worm virus seems to have leaked from the genetic school's research laboratory. It is said that in order to target the mechanical school's people, they specially developed a virus that is effective against bionic humans.
These super mutant warriors stationed in the camp are also brainless monsters, but they also have one advantage, which is that they loyally and firmly carry out orders.
but.
The situation in the camp is somewhat delicate at the moment.
Because the super mutants stationed outside all had strange listening postures, and had hideous smiles on their faces that rarely appeared. These smiles actually had an indescribable strange and peaceful feeling.
The minds of super mutants are influenced by violence, and they only get pleasure from killing.
Outside a makeshift tent.
A group of mystics wearing strange black robes were standing respectfully outside. When some of them looked at the nearby super mutants, there was a hint of fear on their faces, but more of it was awe, awe for a certain existence in the tent.
Inside the tent.
An old man who was about fifty years old was standing stiffly. Although his face looked quite young, there were already many black spots on his arms. It seemed that he was much older than his appearance.
At this moment, standing behind him was a man with his face completely covered by tentacles. A long and thin tentacle extended from his mouth, and the sharp tip pierced into the old man's brain like a needle. Then his eyeballs were seen trembling, and finally his whole body twitched violently.
"Let these super mutants attack immediately."
The vocal organs of the Mystic Chosen One had completely changed at this moment. After gradually controlling the old man's brain, he directly issued an order: "Let these beasts take back the Gospel at all costs!"
The old man's expression gradually calmed down, and then he quickly gave an order.
However, the super mutants outside did not act immediately until someone gave orders to the mystics outside.
“Shut down the gospel.”
"Wake up these beasts."
Soon, the mystics outside panicked and turned off a sound-generating device. The sound it produced was not the sound that human ears could normally hear, but was closer to an infrasound wave.
As the 'Gospel' was shut down, the super mutants outside suddenly woke up.
They roared and picked up all kinds of heavy weapons. Then the whole camp became noisy, with dull roars everywhere.
Super mutants drove out one after another. At this moment, these artificially modified beasts had only one goal, which was to take back the Gospel. Whoever tried to stop them would be ruthlessly torn to pieces. This was almost all the research results of the Genetic School in the entire North America. Their original purpose was to take advantage of the chaos to severely damage the Mechanical School, or to find an opportunity to snatch the Gospel, but they never expected that these secret believers actually had an extremely strange Gospel technology in their hands.
When the gospel sounded, the normal soldiers outside the camp just shot at each other and died in less than a minute or two, while the super mutants fell into a strange silence under the effect of the gospel.
On the contrary, the mystics did not have any abnormal reaction to the gospel, but perhaps they had already been abnormal for a long time.
"Set off."
After walking out of the tent, the figure of the Chosen One floated up gently and landed on an armored vehicle in a flying posture. He calmly gave orders: "Ask the church to send the Gospel Enhancement Device over." "Gather the other combatants."
“Our goal this time is not just to get the Gospel back.”
"That LN ship of Beidou is also a huge threat. We must destroy it."
When he was promoted to become the Chosen One of God, he also heard a new gospel. In the far Far East, some of the remnants of the red giant actually survived. They used the cloning technology before the catastrophe to create some abnormal humans on a large scale. These clones could actually temporarily ignore the gospel of God.
Although these clones were incomplete creations with a very short lifespan, the situation was completely different after they gradually came into contact with Beidou and gave Beidou some intelligence and technology.
You have to know that the Soviet Union during the Cold War mastered no less advanced technology than the United States, including but not limited to the Apocalypse Heavy Armored Forces, cloning technology, walking mechas, mental technology, cold nuclear fusion technology, etc. Although the dead red giants have lost most of the technological blueprints, the most crucial reason why they can still be resurrected is that they still retain the complete miniature cold nuclear fusion technology. That is to say, deep underground in the Far East, some survivors still have the ability to manufacture miniature nuclear fusion batteries.
When combined with the complete industrial system rebuilt by Beidou, the potential for explosion is quite astonishing.
As a former Antarctic researcher, the Chosen One knew very well how quickly humans would develop again after they regained control of cold nuclear fusion technology and possessed endless energy.
This is definitely not conducive to the spread of God’s gospel.
Not to mention that they have mastered the technology of cloning humans, which is already encroaching on the authority of God and is an absolutely unacceptable blasphemy.
The convoy was running wildly in the wilderness.
Now, there are only two vehicles left in the entire convoy, and the soldiers who stayed behind have all lost communication. Maotu's expression is becoming more and more serious, with a hint of determination in her look. She calls the LN ship over and over again, but it seems that they have entered a signal interference area and cannot contact Beidou's fleet for the time being.
"Something is wrong."
Maotu suddenly stopped the car halfway and said to the blonde woman in the back seat, "Are you a bionic man?"
"You drive next."
After that, she motioned the woman to sit in the driver's seat, and she opened the trunk, quickly took out a strange silver-gray exoskeleton power armor and put it on. This exoskeleton power armor was very heavy, and Maotu was nearly two meters and five meters tall after putting it on. There were two black gun barrels at her lower back, but no ammunition was seen.
"What is this?" Su Ying looked at the armor curiously. It seemed to be a little more advanced than her own silver wings.
Maotu moved around a bit, then jumped onto the back seat of the armored vehicle and said slowly, "Sickle Heavy Armor."
"Equipped with an electromagnetic gun."
"But the energy consumption is huge and can only sustain combat for a short period of time."
The blonde woman glanced at them quickly while driving and suddenly said, "Soviet technology? The prototype is the sickle walker? Have you really contacted them?"
“I didn’t expect that some of them were still alive.”
"The academy's top brass has always believed that even though a catastrophe has occurred, we have still won a complete victory!"
When the catastrophe broke out, the Soviet Union suffered a far more severe nuclear attack than the Americas.
At that time, America and Europe almost simultaneously carried out nuclear bombings on the Soviet Union. In addition, the Soviet Union itself built a large number of giant nuclear power plants, and the resulting nuclear leaks turned almost all core areas into severely affected areas.
The extreme climate environment during the nuclear winter made the Soviet region much more difficult to endure than theirs.
"There are no winners in a nuclear war." Maotu looked up at the blonde woman and activated the charging device on his chest.
She said calmly: "They were once on the brink of destruction."
“But in the end, I managed to hold on.”
She actually had something else to say.
That was deep underground in the Far East, in a shelter representing the last legacy of the Soviet Union, where only the last person was left. They could never imagine how shocked they were when Beidou came into contact with the last bit of the Soviet Union's remaining fire and saw those people with almost identical faces, like twins, with barcode codes on the back of their heads.
The old man lying in the hibernation chamber, in the last moment before closing his eyes, slowly said: "Davarich."
"We are just the remnants of the past, and you are the future of mankind."
"Accept our final gift."
Beidou did not make any contact with the Far East, but accepted the Soviet legacy in its entirety, including the clones created for revenge.
In other words, only these clones are left of the former red giant.
The last steadfast communist fighter of the Soviet Union is now sleeping under the giant monument of Beidou.
