Chapter 42: Berserker Randy
The heavy stone door made an antique grinding sound, and as the door opened, the rotten, slightly moist air rushed out, and Randy raised his hand and motioned for Lloyd to stand back, then raised his berserker and spewed a few bullets into the empty space.
"Randy?"
Ellie looked at Randy a little strangely, although this tall and powerful companion is usually unreliable, but even he won't do meaningless things at this time, right?
"Ahh Let's check the air! If there is combustible gas in it, using a firearm in it can easily cause the chamber to explode! ”
As a perennial person who has been dealing with weapons for many years, Noelle suddenly understood Randy's intentions. Randy shrugged, returned a cold smile, and silently led the Berserker to the forefront. It was obviously such a huge weapon, and it was carried by Randy in his hand, but it was unexpectedly harmonious, and I have to say that this has a lot to do with Randy's tall stature.
He Xu was at the end of the line, looking a little frightened. Some were afraid of the terrifying power of the huge firearm, and some were afraid of "what" would appear in the Tower of Vision. After all, it is an abandoned building and poorly lit, so it is easy for children to associate ghosts, ghosts, and other terrible things.
Through a structure similar to the corridor of the Frontrooms, the Support Section officially entered the Tower of Hoshimi.
Due to the lack of light, the whole space appears deep and dark, and you can smell dampness, a bit like the smell of earth and moss, reminiscent of a night after a rainstorm. There are small points of light similar to fireflies swimming in the air, and combined with the name of this place, the Tower of Hoshimi, I can't help but feel that the scenery here is indeed as its name.
The platform is circular, and there is a straight road between each two circular platforms. In general, it winds upwards in a spiral shape. Because of the ingenious design, the platform seems to be suspended in the air, and it exists in a dreamy space. In the center of each circular platform is a ball of light that does not know how it works. Some resemble guiding lights, which provide a rare amount of light to the space.
"It's beautiful! Looking at the architectural style, it seems to be a medieval style. That glowing ...... Is it a firefly? ”
Ellie looked around curiously and innocently reached out to catch the glowing thing around her.
Noelle nodded in confirmation of Ellie's guess, and explained to the rest of the support department, "It's been on hold for almost a decade since the tower was locked down. Although I think it would be good to look into it carefully......"
Noelle didn't say it too clearly, after all, it wasn't a glorious thing. To put it bluntly, a certain commander who has nothing else to do except eat, drink, sleep, socialize, and take bribes feels that it is too troublesome to maintain this place, so he ordered the garrison to block this place.
If it's blocked, no one will go in. No one will enter, and there will be no need for additional personnel to manage it. No additional personnel are needed, and the cost of hiring personnel can be saved - after all, the garrison is too limited to serve as a guard for the Tower of Hoshimi all the time.
As for the expenses of the hired personnel that have been saved...... At least certainly not returned to the public house as public funds.
Silent.
Lloyd glanced at Randy worriedly, this kind of topic, generally speaking, Randy should laugh at two sentences, "The eldest lady unexpectedly has a girl's heart!" "Ah, that commander who doesn't do personnel, ......" or something like that, but not today. Lloyd's brown eyes showed only a reliable back.
At this time, Hexu suddenly grabbed the corner of Tio's clothes and said timidly: "It's a little scary......
"Sorry......"
Randy's voice came, and his voice was a little deep, because he was leaning back and couldn't see his expression clearly.
"No, no, no, no, Hexu didn't mean Randy's senior...... Be...... Over here? ”
He Xu tilted his head, a little flustered and wanted to describe, but unfortunately he couldn't say clearly.
Tio nodded, her ice-blue hair smudged red from the cat's ear-shaped sensor.
"Here, in addition to the four Yaomai of fire, water, wind, and earth that we have in our common sense, the Yaomai of the three systems of time, space, and illusion are also active."
Theo's explanation was a little confusing, and Ellie tried to conclude, "So, to put it simply, is the effect of magic different?" ”
Theo nodded, and was about to say something when heavy footsteps suddenly came from the distance.
It was like the muffled sound of a heavy hammer hitting the ground, which fully demonstrated the solidity of the body of the owner of the sound. With the sound of footsteps, two huge dolls covered with blue and white iron sheets walked towards everyone. The steps were slow, but the huge size, which was half as tall as Randy and wider than five Randy, undoubtedly had explosive power.
"Guards? Prepare for ......"
Lloyd didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly ordered everyone to prepare for the battle, but he didn't want to, and a tight loud bang interrupted him.
"Bang ......"
The sound of bullet noise.
The sound of the wind being torn.
The sound of bullet casings hitting the ground.
The brass-colored bullet seemed to form a twisted spiral in the air, the spiral twisted air flow merged into a turbulent and noisy whirlpool, the conical warhead ruthlessly tore apart the enemy, and the huge attack force completely tore the armored giant's shoulder armor, the original semicircular shoulder armor, accompanied by a tooth-aching screeching sound, the hurricane behind the bullet completely twisted the metal parts into ordinary scrap wood.
The expected scene of flesh and blood does not appear, and the shoulder armor of the armored giant pierced by Randy is empty and empty. Inside, there is no one.
After the first bullet worked, the second and third bullets arrived just when everyone and the armored giant did not react......
Each bullet did take away a large piece of armor, and several shots made Lloyd's enemy on full alert be killed without a defense.
Or rather, slaughter.
The strength of the spirit can make up for the gap in combat effectiveness to a certain extent, but once the gap in combat effectiveness is too large, there will be an overwhelming battle situation that cannot be made up no matter what. What's more, the armored giants simply do not have the intelligence to be human.
Shortly after Randy's shooting, armor scrap turns into a puff of purple smoke and returns to Qiyao. It seems that although they look like mechanisms that exist in reality, in essence, they are a kind of Warcraft.
"Randy ......"
Lloyd almost subconsciously called his companion's name. Randy didn't look back, just made a simple gesture for the group to follow him.
"I only had 300 rounds of ammunition ready. I'll leave 200 rounds for silver. When I run out of 100 rounds, I'm going to ask you. ”
In the end, Randy chose to turn back.
The long orange trench coat drew a free and easy arc, and on the mature and steady face, there was a bleak smile.
It was a kind of tragedy that was almost more sad than dead, but it still maintained the appearance of "laughing".
"I really didn't think I'd partner with it again."
“……”
No one responds to Randy.
Because everyone didn't force Randy to speak up before, so now, no one knows what kind of past Randy has carried. I don't know what kind of consciousness Randy made to bring up the firearm again.
Randy's shooting is surprisingly accurate.
Noelle had heard rumors that Randy was one of the few types of the garrison who "never used rifles". Generally speaking, when you hear that someone never uses a reshooter, your first reaction is that this person is not good at shooting, but Randy's situation is the opposite.
Noelle is an insider, and he can tell at a glance that Randy is not a novice in shooting. He had been using a firearm for a lot longer than Noelle. The proficiency of assembling the firearm at the door, the speed and accuracy of moving the muzzle when shooting, the response to recoil, the speed of changing the magazine, these details of Randy's performance, all show that Randy is not a newcomer, but a master. It doesn't even matter if you say you're a master.
The current Randy is a famous hunter belonging to the famous Continent's Hunter Regiment [Red Constellation], known as the [Red Death] and the [Son of the God of Fighting].
"Randy. Can you have a drink with me when you get back? ”
After a long silence, Lloyd suddenly spoke up when Randy shot the monster.
The other protagonist of the dialogue turns the muzzle of the gun and accurately annihilates the monster in the distance.
"Ah...... I understand. The premise is that we can go back. ”
