Chapter 6: 1 army that should not appear

The steam even crossbow weapon sounds unscientific, and even Leo can’t imagine the principle of its launch. Obviously, purely relying on the instantaneous thrust of steam, I am afraid it is difficult to make the arrows fired, but if it is not If you rely on steam thrust, what is the half-height steam device behind the annihilator doing?
　　With all the questions in his mind, Leo carefully observed the equipment on the annihilator.
I saw that the annihilator was wearing a steam insulation suit all over his body, with a pair of glasses like a diving goggles in his eyes, and a steam crossbow launcher in his hand. Old Earth-era Gatling guns seen in the weapons gallery.
Behind the annihilator is a half-height iron box. The box shell is equipped with some gears of unknown function. At the top, there are some instruments, pistons and air pipes. There are two regulating hand valves near the hand. , Extending a sealed tube from the bottom of the box, connected to the tail end of the crossbow launcher.
　　 While Leo was secretly observing the situation, an Inge Kingdom warrior with severely corroded skin in the distance suddenly drilled out of the trench and ran towards the periphery of the battlefield like crazy.
　　 The movement made by this soldier was too great, and he ran out a few steps before he was noticed.
　　 saw a annihilator shout and made a gesture, as if to tell his colleague that the man had given it to him, and then he saw that he raised the crossbow launcher in his hand and aimed at the crazy warrior.
　　 Swish, swish, swish!
　　Several slight cracking sounds came out of the launcher, and then saw the mad warrior pierce five arrows about 20 cm in length.
　　The barb at the tail end of the arrow is released during flight to prevent the arrow from penetrating the body and causing more severe tear damage to the target's body.
　　 When the soldier fell to the ground, his body had been torn by the arrow barb into some fragments, and the original shape could not be seen at all.
　　Although Leo has seen the power of various weapons of the Star Federation, he still has to marvel at the power of the steam crossbow in front of him.
　　 After Leo's head was retracted to the bunker, he estimated his strength.
If he was still the body of the original biochemical weapon, this rate of fire weapon would not cause any trouble to him, but now this body is not strong enough to escape, although its strength is two or three times that of ordinary people. The arrows that are faster than the sound, once he is exposed, the final result will definitely not be much better than the crazy warrior just now.
　　 Thinking of this, Leo carefully retreated from the broken bunker back to the trench, crouched down, and quickly returned to the place where Nelson and Jason were hiding.
　　 "How is the situation outside?" Nielsen hurriedly asked when he saw Leo's figure appear.
　　 Jason also pulled out his body and sat up, looking at Leo expectantly.
　　 "Very bad." Leo shook his head, responded, and emphasized again: "Very bad."
　　 Then, he told the two people carefully what he had just seen outside.
　　 Hearing that the situation outside was so dangerous, Nelson and Jason sat on the ground in frustration, and the whole person became frustrated.
　　Feeling the atmosphere was not right, Leo immediately gave the two a little hope, saying: "It is impossible to escape now. After dark, you may be able to find loopholes in their defense."
　　Although Leo’s words were more of a last consolation, they at least gave the two a little hope and made the surrounding atmosphere a little better.
　　At Leo’s proposal, the three moved to a trench closer to the edge of the battlefield. This was not to better observe the soldiers of the French Empire, but to avoid poison gas smoke.
　　Now that the three people are in the trenches, the gas smoke is very thin. As long as the skin is not directly exposed to the outside, they will not be hurt, and the protection on their bodies will no longer be corroded by the gas smoke, which will allow them to stick to tomorrow.
　　 It was still some time before dark, and the three sat opposite each other. At Leo’s suggestion, they sorted out their clothes again. In the past, because they had escaped in a hurry, the items they collected were directly stuffed into their pockets. This situation is usually normal, but it may become a fatal factor after the death of the escape.
　　 To this end, the three carefully sorted out the items on their bodies, and relocated them according to Leo’s advice, making the clothing on their bodies more regular, and the abnormal noise made when walking was much smaller.
After finishing the outfit, the sun was setting and the sky was getting darker, and some bored Jason asked in a whisper to Leo in order to pass the time. If those guys advance into the trenches, we might be spotted the first time."
Leo closed his eyes slightly, while adjusting his breathing rhythm, rejuvenating his body and mind, and regaining his physical strength, while answering Jason’s question:
No. It depends on the situation of the French Empire’s army before the smoke of the battlefield dissipated. , They will not enter the trenches."
"Uh! That's fine." Jason felt relieved when he got the answer, and then simply used his backpack as a pillow and fell asleep, not worrying about whether he could be found in the enemy's defense tonight. Flawed, fleeing out, is completely a heartless look.
The atmosphere around 　　 calmed down again. Apart from the frictional noise of metal armor from time to time outside the trenches, I could never hear anything else.
After a while, the sky was completely dark. I don’t know if God was taking care of Leo. They knew that the sky was clear and the sky was clear at the moment, but now it was covered by dark clouds, blocking all the starlight and moonlight, and making everything under the sky change. It gets darker.
At this time, the armies of the French Empire that surrounded the battlefield collected a lot of firewood, and according to the distance, they made a fire to ignite it. The fire produced by the fire was almost dry enough to find the surrounding situation. And it is connected with the flames of other fires to form a search isolator composed of flames.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve never been in danger. Nielsen’s courage has grown a lot. I found a wooden box under my feet and quietly stretched my head out of the trench. My hands fiddled with the eyes on the mask twice. , Like a telescope, seeing the movement of the French fighters in the distance.
　　 Nielsen's behavior was also seen in Leo's eyes, especially the movement of adjusting the eyes on the mask aroused his interest. He also tried to explore the edge of the mask's eyes according to the position where Nelson's fingers touched.
Although the touch through the gloves became a little unclear, he still felt that the frame of his eyes seemed to have a deliberately protruding gear. He fiddled with the gear and found that the eyes on the mask extended forward and backward like a telescope. The scene gradually became clearer.
　　 "It's a real thing!" Leo turned his eyes back to his original position and said with approval.
　　Although this pair of glasses is an old antique worth not mentioning in the Earth Federation, it is commendable to make them so exquisite in such an environment.
"This is a medical device specially designed for the medical department of the Rock Institute of Mechanical Technology. Usually it is just ordinary glasses. You can use it as a magnifying glass during surgery." Nielsen shrank back into the trench and heard Leo's praise. So I explained it and followed him with a heavy tone: "I just looked at the soldiers of the French Empire and found that they were not ordinary soldiers."
　　 "What do you mean?" Leo asked puzzled.
　　 "They are the direct troops of the Duke of Devin, the eldest son of the French Empire." Nielsen explained, pointing at a part of his waist, and said: "There is the mark of the coat of arms of Duke of Devin."
　　 Leo heard the words and recalled the costumes of the soldiers. He quickly found the badge from the system summary and confirmed: "Is that the two-headed deer?"
"Yes." Nelson nodded and said, "If I remember well, this is not the territory of the Duke of Derwin. Why did his immediate troops come here? And he also violated the mainland agreement and used imine gas. Are you not afraid of the mainland parliament asking for crime?
"These things have nothing to do with us. It doesn't matter whether you know them or not." Leo is not very interested in the Nelson's secrets that may be related to this war. He is more concerned about other things, "Doctor, since you I can recognize at a glance what those people are directly under the Duke of Devin, so I must know them well and talk about their capabilities. The more we know, the less likely it is that accidents will happen later. ."
"Who do you think I am, I'm just a doctor, how could I know about the Duke of Derwin's army?" Nelson said with a self-deprecating smile, and said: "It's just that Duke Derwin's direct troops are in Flanders It’s also among the best in the various legions of the empire,"
He said, he paused for a moment, and there seemed to be some hidden words, but after thinking a little about the current form, he finally said, "My classmates in the medical school once mentioned that the medical school and the Duke of Devin once had Cooperation, inventing a drug that can stimulate the human body's potential for the Duke of Devine, and ultimately it seems that it failed, and only a defective product was made."
After Leo heard the secret thing, he could not help thinking of the sword armor soldiers who were going back and forth, thinking that they were wearing heavy armor, and behind them was a large shield, carrying a two-handed wide sword in his hand, still walking around It was easy, which made him think of the drug in Nielsen's mouth.
　　In the Commonwealth of the Earth, it is common to use drugs to enhance the potential of the human body. By systematically taking drugs, an ordinary person can eventually have the same physical qualities as a fighting biochemical person.
　　Although at the level of technology here, even if the technology tree is not awkward, it is impossible to have a potent drug as efficient as the Earth Federation, but it is not impossible to produce similar drugs.
　　 So he immediately asked, "Do you know anything about the inferior products of that potential drug?"
"I don't know very well." Nielsen shook his head slightly, and then added: "But I have seen the body of the experimenter after the use of defective products, that body... how to say? Like a muscle-filled monster same."
Hearing this, Leo couldn’t help but stick his head out of the trench. With the blaze of the campfire, he looked at the sword armour soldiers who were patrolling back and forth in the distance, and saw that they were waving their hands and wide swords like a piece of paper. answer.
"It's really awkward!" Leo frowned, thinking that if those sword armor soldiers really took that kind of drug, then his attack might be difficult to cause fatal damage to this kind of person. In that case, it might be Alarmed others and put him in danger.
When Nelson sat down on the ground again, the mechanical crossbow he set aside gave Leo a wake up, and he soon had a plan in his mind. Then he turned to Nelson very seriously and asked: " I remember you just said that you added a poison to the arrow, how is that poison effective?"
"Very strong." Nielsen said confidently, but seemed to feel that the words were too full, and added: "The effect is very strong. For ordinary people, I have not tested it on people with special circumstances. ."
　　 "What if this powder is burnt? Will it lose its effectiveness?" Leo asked again.
"The efficacy of the medicine will be affected..." Nielsen responded quickly~EbookFREE.me~ Then he was stunned. He seemed to think of something. Looking at Leo, he asked, "You want to put these powders , Throw it in a fire and make poisonous smoke?"
　　 Leo nodded and asked, "Can it be useful?"
Nielsen thought for a moment, and seemed to be thinking about Leo’s ideas. After a while, he said: "If you use this mixed powder, it may be difficult to produce the effect you want, but I can improve the powder and let it pass. The effects of incineration will not weaken the efficacy of drugs too much."
　　 Leo showed a happy look and immediately urged: "Very good, configure it quickly."
At Leo’s urging, Nielsen immediately took out the medicine suitcase, took out a few bottles of powder and a set of balance weights, carefully mixed these medicines according to the formula, and installed a small half of the iron box in a short time. And the drugs needed to configure the poison are also used up at this time.
　　 Leo found a wide-mouth flask from Nielsen’s medicine box, poured all the medicine in the iron box into it, and then made a blackout tent with a wooden box and thick cloth.
　　He took some medical alcohol lamp and burned some clean water in the tent. After the water boiled, he extinguished the flames.
Follow him with a half-meter-long bandage into a wide-mouth flask filled with poison, pour warm water into it, use a soft stopper to stop the mouth of the wide-mouth flask, and shake the bottle vigorously so that the The poison quickly dissolved into the water, and the water completely penetrated the bandage in the bottle.
　　After making all these preparations, Leo signaled Nelson to take a break now, lest he could escape when he broke through.
　　 And he made a small flag with a bandage, inserted it in a bunker not far from the trench, and then sat back in the trench, looking quietly at the small flag that was constantly being blown.
