Chapter 377: Infiltrate Machine City
"Dave, it's up to you next, determine a coordinate for us."
Dave steers the Scavenger Mech, pacing back and forth at the end of the cavern in search of the best 'landing spot'.
After a moment, Dave stopped in one place and looked at the coordinates on the holographic screen: "This is the landing point south of the Grand Canal of Gauria, just to avoid the bunkers on the northern bank of the river. β
Once the location is determined, the next step is the excavation.
Link didn't summon the Dragon Touch God to go straight out, and the huge movement would definitely attract the mechanics on both sides of the canal.
For the final stretch of work, Link was given to the Spy Rats and the Silver Marching Ants.
The silver marching ants formed a mighty silver army, clinging to the wall to form a ten-centimeter-wide staircase, all the way to the top of the crypt, and then down the other side of the wall, forming a complete semicircle.
The Spy then pulls a ladder of silver marching ants and climbs to the top of the crypt and begins to burrow.
The spy rats climb up from the left and carry dirt down from the right, forming a complete cycle.
The silver marching ants also burrowed into the vertical holes they had dug and continued to build ladders.
The two cooperated tacitly, and soon a large-scale vertical hole appeared above everyone's heads.
Link hasn't been hungry since he took charge of Whistling Castle.
Three months of continuous production, plus a monthly thug, Link never missed.
Up to now, there are 150,000 silver marching ants under Link's command, and they are beginning to take shape.
This is the first time Link has led all the marching ants to fight, and the silver marching ants' tenacity and ability to cooperate in groups are vividly displayed.
Link waved his hand to gather everyone: "While it's time to dig the hole, I'll tell you about the plan." β
"The six of you, follow John after entering the Machine City, and your main task is to escort him to the scientific research area in the southeast. If you encounter obstacles along the way, you need to find ways to distract your enemies and keep them as unexposed as possible. If you don't have a choice and have to be exposed, then delay as long as you can, and wait for me to come to your aid. β
The six of them were ecstatic, they could follow the painter John to do the task, they would have the opportunity to get the other party's appreciation, and no matter how bad they went through such a thrilling task together, how to say that there was a bit of affection and thin noodles, and they would definitely be able to talk to ordinary players if they met again in the future.
Now the six players understand that the reward of this B-level mission is not the biggest gain.
The real takeaway was the intersection with the painter John.
As the saying goes, there are four irons in life:
Carried the gun together, passed through the window together, divided the dirt together, and P over C together.
Nine people jointly infiltrated the mechanical city, the difficulty of this thing is higher than the difficulty of the inferior service in the World of Warcraft, three full level numbers, and six new recruits to go to the enemy's main city to slaughter the city and kill the boss! It's an experience that some players don't experience in their lifetime.
As long as this mission is successful, they will all be regarded as 'acquaintances' who have shown their faces in front of the painter John in the future, and although the accumulated advantages cannot be realized immediately, they will eventually be transformed into advantages in the game, which is the biggest gain!
"As for me, I'll go with Dave to the energy zone in the northeast to rescue Helen, and if there is an accident on your side, I will create a movement here to disperse the pressure."
"In addition, I would like to tell you a special communication code between the Mechanicus Cult, which can save lives at critical moments."
"If a cyborg soldier beats your chest, you have to stand still and say 'Long live the FΓΌhrer', and if you stretch out a hand tilted upwards forty-five degrees, you must respond with the same gesture and 'Pioneers and truth live forever'!"
"Last but not least, except for Dave, none of the rest of us have ever been to Mechanical City, so there are bound to be a lot of accidents during the infiltration, so it's important to stay calm. John and Dave: I'm not worried, the main thing is that the six of you have never seen this kind of scene, so you have to hold on. I believe that you, as the best of the Inhumans, will definitely be able to overcome difficulties. β
The six players, Dave, and John all listened attentively.
He kept saying that he had never been to the Machine City, but when it came to the way of greeting and dealing with the Machine God Cult, he was more familiar than Dave, who had escaped from the Machine City himself, where did he look like he had never been to the Machine City?
By the time Link had made the arrangements, the marching ants and spy rats had successfully dug a vertical hole with a diameter of two meters, reaching the surface.
The Silver Marching Ants all retreated to the crypt, and all the Spy Rats returned to the underground.
Several players were shocked by the efficiency of the silver marching ants and spy rats in front of them, and they happened to be in front of them, and they had already begun to take crazy screenshots, waiting for the mission to be sent out after the mission to be promoted.
150,000 silver marching ants are evenly distributed on the walls of the crypt, and the lights of the power car hit the walls, reflecting a crystal light like a sea of stars, like diamonds inlaid on the most exquisite luxury goods, which looks magnificent.
There is another crypt fork, where thousands of gray-and-white striped spy rats lie in front of them, and inside are snow-white self-detonating rats, the number of which sends chills down the spine.
If these white-haired mice were ordinary mice, they would look pretty cute. But after learning that these were all self-detonating rats, several players stayed away, and even worried, for fear that the accidental explosion of one of them would trigger a chain reaction.
"You are here first, and then I will go up and then lower the rope down."
Link said, and the grappling hook of the Multi-Purpose Combat Suit popped out of his wrist, bringing Link to the top of the hole.
Then Link's impact boots erupted two balls of rushing flames, sending him directly to the ground with a strong upward force.
The desert was pitch black, and the howl of the wind could be faintly heard in the distance.
At the end of the month, the night sky is difficult to find the trace of the moon, the sky seems to be covered with a layer of gray fog, and the originally bright stars, only a few scattered clouds can resist the accumulation, and it is difficult to reveal their starlight.
The dark and moonless environment is more suitable for sneaking in.
The ground was about thirty meters from the bottom of the crypt, and Link re-fired the grappling hook at the vertical hole, and after a few moments, the gear stopped, and the grappling hook was successfully nailed to the ground.
John held the maintenance box in one hand and grabbed the hook with the other, and successfully ascended to the ground.
As soon as John reached the ground, his whole person immediately changed into a different temperament.
People are standing in front of you, but they don't feel anything.
Even if you walk back and forth on the sandy desert Gobi, you can't hear any sound.
The ability of [Midnight Ghost] is vividly displayed.
Midnight Ghost: Hides its breath at night, acts without making any sound, +50% movement speed and +20% agility at night.
Link looked at John, who was on guard everywhere, and couldn't help but speak: "I really envy your [Midnight Ghost] ability, acting like a ghost at night." I now think that letting six Inhumans follow you is adding weight to your burden. β
John looked back and smiled, "I have the opposite view of you. The ability of the Midnight Ghost itself does not make any sound, which is a bit too suspicious, and the ability of the Inhumans you choose is similar to the power of the Zealots who were selected into the Cult of the Mechanical God, so it is more reliable to carry with you, and it will not arouse suspicion in any occasion. β
Link pulled the scavenger out and continued to say to John, "I'll just say it casually, and you're still stumbling. If you are exposed later, don't be reckless, don't let go of your face and ask me for help. Dealing with this kind of big scene, I am the expert~"
Midnight Ghost is a perk, not a skill, and cannot be taught.
Link was only envious of his advantage, as he had just said, in large-scale battles.
With the Son of Heaven's Qi Hope Technique, the number of enemies is Link's nourishment, making him bigger and more fierce.
As long as there are enough enemies to allow Link to stack enough blood rage, even if the mechanical pioneer Dr. Zhao comes in person, Link will dare to go up to face A.
In the past, hearing such provocative words, John must have had to compete with Link.
Although he washed his hands of gold, John's pride as the number one killer was still there, and not everyone could ride on his head.
But this time it is about the recovery of his wife Martha, and even the number one killer is extremely cautious.
The opportunity to infiltrate the mechanical city is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it can even be said that it is only once, only success and failure are allowed!
As Link pulls the six players up, everyone reaches the ground.
The Treasure Hunt Rat and the Five Rat Agents also crawled out of the hole.
The desert at midnight is engulfed in darkness and the temperature is extremely low.
Link couldn't help but think of the scene when he first entered the game half a year ago and escaped from the Afu Desert.
At that time, the sky was full of crescent moons, and today it is cloudy.
The cold wind was still there, but it couldn't stop Link anymore.
"Tonight is the 'Ascension Ceremony' of the Cult of the Mechanicus, and there will be a large number of mechanical fanatics gathered on both sides of the Gauria Canal, waiting for the selection of the Mechanics Cult, and the powerful ones will be promoted from fanatics to mechanical warriors, and officially enter the mechanical city, and the whole process is called ascension."
"Dave's strength and mecha are already in place, we also need to get eight sets of mechanical fanatic equipment, it doesn't matter whether the equipment is strong or weak, as long as the personal strength meets the requirements."
As soon as Link finished speaking, the treasure hunt rat lying on his shoulder raised his head and sniffed the air, chirped in Link's ear, stretched out his two paws and put together five fingers, pointed to the distance, and then pointed to himself.
Link was happy all of a sudden, and as soon as he finished speaking, someone sent him to the door: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive." β
Chasing the wind, a fluttering spirit, immediately stood up and said, "President, leave the matter of killing the fanatic to us, we will definitely not damage the equipment." β
Even Leng Feng, the silent wolf warrior, was eager to try at this time, and even said things like 'guarantee to complete the task'.
Link waved his hand and rejected them, how could he not understand the player's little ninety-nine.
Dave's scavenger mech, both in terms of craftsmanship and technology, is already at the level of crushing the fanatic, and at this moment the radar has detected the enemy's position, so he reported: "The enemy is rapidly approaching, and there are still six hundred meters away from us." β
"The noise you made in the battle is too big, and it will attract the fanatics around you, so I'll do it."
It's just that as soon as Link finished speaking, a big hand suddenly appeared on his shoulder, stopped him and said, "Assassination is still left to professional people, and you, as the commander-in-chief, are still here to make arrangements." β
"Dave, help me take care of the maintenance box."
As soon as he finished speaking, John had disappeared into the twilight.
This time, it was the player's turn to be amazed, and they couldn't help but whisper: "It turns out that the painter's main ability is assassination?" β
Because they couldn't see the artist's data, they could only piece together the experience and abilities of the painter John based on the words of the chat.
Now it was Dave's turn to be surprised, and he couldn't help but speak: "What? Don't you even know the number one killer of Wasteland? β
Airplanes~
The other five players, except for Chasing the Wind, had blank brains at the moment.
Wasteland...... The number one killer!
They never knew that the Painter was the strongest killer of Wasteland!
Chasing Wind looked at the frightened expressions of the five people and forced a smile.
"I've washed my hands in a golden basin, so I don't need to mention this name anymore~"
Just as Dave was talking to the player, another voice sounded in the darkness not far away, and John gradually walked from the darkness, dragging the corpses of five entangled Zealots behind him.
Bang!
John put down the fanatic's leg in his hand, patted the dust off his hands, and returned to the maintenance box.
From their exclamation to Dave's response, it only took a dozen or so seconds.
No sounds of battle were heard, not even the sobs of the enemy's death.
And Dave just said that the enemy was about 600 meters away from where they were, how did the painter silently kill the Zealot squad in just a dozen seconds, and then drag the corpses of five people back?
Is this the strength of the number one killer of Wasteland!
The five players were stunned and swallowed a little bit of saliva, not recovering from the shock.
Link pouted, this legendary-level aura was really quite high, and he shocked several guild leaders with such a single hand.
I made a mistake, and I shouldn't have given John this chance to pretend to be forced.
Dave detached the fanatics from their exoskeletons or equipment with astonishing speed, like a curt.
Link threw the corpses of the five men down the hole, destroying them and destroying them, and then beckoned the group to change into Zealot gear.
John donned the best exoskeleton armor of all, and the weight-bearing hook hung the maintenance box behind him.
Link commanded from the side, "Lost Mo Q, Demon Spirit, Leng Feng, Tang Jiu, you should put on these four fanatic equipment first." β
The four of them are eager to try, after all, the number of mechanical VIP experience cards is only a handful.
But after changing into the corresponding equipment, the excited expressions of the three suddenly froze. Just because the system interface shows that they are not the corresponding mechanical profession, they cannot enjoy the equipment function.
Only Tang Jiu's smile reached the root of his ears.
He was originally a mechanic player, and he chose the profession of mechanic.
In Shadu, due to the lack of blueprints and guidance, he can only make some low-level mechanical equipment now. After players started to make their way into Shadu, there were finally some fanatic gear, or chipsets, on the market. However, with the technology that Tang Jiu has mastered now, it is far from reaching the point of manufacturing the corresponding machinery and equipment through chips, and the theoretical knowledge contained in it needs to be deepened.
But now, this set of white quality mechanical armor on his body is inlaid with the Zealot core chip, and it happens to be a reconnaissance chip, and the armor function is also biased towards reconnaissance assistance, which is equivalent to getting a complete set of equipment.
Before this infiltration even began, I had already obtained a set of Zealot Scout Armor, which was a bloody gain!
Now, there are no fanatics to equip them, only Link, Chasing the Wind, and Bombing Chicken are left.
Both of them are Link's descendants.
One is the minor boss of the Kirin Hall, and the other is a druid who has been approved to enter the Divine Tree Noxi.
Link looked at the dark desert and muttered, "Now, another team of Zealots is needed to come and deliver warm ......"
