Chapter 724: Times Have Changed
There are more and more red dots on the display, and they don't increase until the number is close to 200. But by this time, those red dots had turned into a red circle, completely encircling the clearing.
"Whew-" A gray werewolf, which was larger than the other wolves, was the first to emerge from the woods, and then raised its head and howled. In an instant, tall werewolves poured out of the woods, and then rushed directly to the small tent in the middle of the clearing on all fours like real wolves, sprinting and howling loudly.
"Prepare to shoot Hermione, switch to the secondary aiming system, which is much easier to use than our manual aiming when facing a large group of enemies, and it is also the best way to match the power armor we have on us. Ryan said into the microphone.
"Well, I've seen the werewolves rushing out with a red circle on their heads. Hermione's voice came through the headphones. "What am I going to do next, I've been trained before, but I've never worn this thing before. ”
"Relax, in fact, this set of power armor is completely intelligent. All you have to do is believe in the computer in the armor. Ryan comforted that at this time, some of the werewolves had already broken away from the cover of the woods and rushed straight over.
"Now—shoot!" Ryan shouted, and in an instant two silver-white Gatling guns fired, and Ryan could feel the power mech's arm under the control of a large number of hydraulic pumps, holding the Gatling gun and shooting quickly at one target after another.
The ammunition fired from the machine gun was blue, with only a ball of light the size of a pinball. When blown up on the ground, it kicks up a large amount of dirt like a grenade, and when it hits a werewolf, it creates a hole the size of a football. Not even a creature with great physical strength, resilience, and endurance like a werewolf could get back up after a single shot in the torso.
In addition to this, Ryan and Hermione each had two small, cricket-like blasting pistols on their backs. With a clicking sound, all the joints on the power armor, from the back to the feet, were locked, and something appeared on the feet to grab the ground.
"Fire. Ryan and Hermione shouted at the same time. After a slight shock, four fireballs shot out from the muzzles of their shoulders and headed straight for the place where the werewolves had gathered. Then there was a boom, and the entire ground near the point where the shells landed was shredded along with everything on the ground and flew into the sky.
Under this combined strike of firepower beyond the times, the entire clearing was turned into a slaughterhouse. There was blood, stumps and dirt thrown up by the explosion. However, these things did not prevent Ryan from continuing to shoot, and the Life Radar was not something that some dust could stop. A Gatling blast of atomic blasting munitions still smoothly created huge holes in the werewolf's body or head.
In less than a minute, all the small red dots on the radar screen that represented the enemy in the open space disappeared. After making sure that no one rushed up, Ryan and the others finally stopped shooting.
Soon the smoke cleared, and a mess of ground appeared in front of them. The entire clearing was damaged by the craters and craters created by the explosion just now. Around each crater, the mutilated corpses of werewolves and even more mutilated fragments were scattered.
"The mysterious people have arranged so much money, used so many people, and even paid for powerful magic props such as the Jumping Pot. And that's what it turned out to be?" Hermione said in a tone of disbelief as she looked at everything in front of her. "In 46 seconds to be exact, instead of killing us, we almost wiped out the werewolves. If I hadn't known about the mystery man and our hatred, I would have thought that the mystery man was on our side to help us eradicate evil. ”
"It's because times have changed! Hermione. Ryan replied as he rummaged through the bodies to make sure no one was playing dead here. "Normally, after banning magical abilities, we would only be able to choose between swords or ordinary gunpowder-powered firearms. These simply can't do any effective damage to hordes of werewolves, and those heavy weapons are not something the two of us can handle. ”
"I think according to the werewolves, they think that they can rush in front of us and tear the two of us apart at the most for a single digit loss. But their group of werewolves and even mysterious people probably didn't expect that the two of us could have heavy firepower that a single person could hold, and the information asymmetry would naturally cause this scene. ”
After confirming that there were no problems with the security status of the surroundings, the two men retreated from the power armor. But when they drew their wands and waved them to try to cast magic, they found themselves still in a state where they could not cast magic.
"I thought everything around me was set up by mysterious people, but now it seems that it shouldn't be. Ryan began to develop some curiosity about this place, and he wondered why it made magic workable, but allowed technology to work.
It just so happened that the group of small puppets and the large alchemy puppets sent later did not come, and Ryan and the others couldn't move the nearly ten people in the tent, so while waiting for reinforcements to arrive, Ryan began to look for something wrong around here. Unexpectedly, just over a minute later, Hermione spotted the anomaly at the edge of a huge crater that had been blown up by the small cricket.
"Ryan, look, there's something wrong with this crater. After noticing the anomaly, Hermione waved her hand to Ryan, "I don't think this place is any ordinary open space at all. ”
"You're right. After walking to the edge of the pit and taking a look, Ryan quickly noticed that something was wrong. From what knowledge he had about plants, it was clear that the grass and soil in this place had been brought in from somewhere else, and that it would not take more than a week.
What made Hermione feel that something was wrong was a stone at the bottom of the pit, which was square and obviously could not be a product of nature. Even Hermione found several marks on it that should have been chiseled by the workers during the repairs.
Now that they realized that something was wrong, Ryan and the others immediately re-entered the power armor and began to dig the big hole with some simple tools. When reinforcements arrived, they happened to see two power armor equipped with special shovels on their hands and digging holes desperately.
"It's great that you're here. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Ryan manipulated the armor and jumped out of the pit, which was already more than three meters deep, and said to the leader Rose Crystal, "Let those alchemy puppets take away the unconscious people and the pot in the house first, after all, this place is really not suitable for those unconscious people to stay." ”
"What about you, my brother. Rose Crystal nodded and motioned for the puppets behind her to enter the tent to move people, and then asked with a small face. "Is there anything going on here?"
"Well, I've found something unusual here, and I'd like to take a good look at it. Ryan then briefly explained that they had just found out.
As a result, after listening to Ryan's discovery, all the little dolls agreed to stay with Ryan and explore the mysteries of this place. According to the leading eldest sister mercury lamp, she and her sisters must investigate such a strange magical phenomenon. The knowledge contained in this can just be used as a gift to his father Luo Zhen.
Over the next few days, Ryan and the others dug up a lot of ground with the help of a whole bunch of golems. After the entire ground had been excavated, Ryan discovered that the lawn in the forest had been created purely by hand in a short period of time, and by digging up, they found the remains of an ancient castle buried in the dirt beneath the lawn.
Miraculously, after dawn that day, both the surrounding fog and the restrictions on magic were gone. The whole area became indistinguishable from the nearby jungles, and nothing like that night did for a few days afterward.
