Chapter 45: The Beginning of the Dawn
Looking at the iron wall that surrounded him like a secret room, Ling Key stepped back cautiously, leaned his back against the wall, and knocked it with his hand.
Then carefully feel the touch of the hand back: "Hmm...... It looks like it's a little harder to break down the wall. ”
Raising his head to look back at his "assigned" opponent, the robot warrior raised his head in unison, his eyes lit up with a scarlet light.
Brush! Again, in unison movements, all the "people" waved their arms on both sides at the same time, and two foot-long blades popped out of both wrists.
The motor-like sound in the robot warrior's body gradually became louder, converging into a buzzing sound like a beep.
Ling Jian looked at the fully activated robot legion, then at the short-barreled shotgun in his hand, and sighed: "This doesn't seem to be a very suitable weapon......
Rumble! Raise your hand and shoot out.
This bullet is a very common type of deer bullet and is also the original ammunition for shotguns. It's just that the gunpowder was re-mixed by Ling Key, and it was much more powerful. There was no need to aim at all, and the two robots directly opposite were overturned and pushed down with a single shot.
"Thank goodness it's not a shootout." Ling Jian complained, "I'm still thinking that your master will equip you with a magnetic storm rifle or something, so it's troublesome......"
Of course, the robot warrior ignored Ling Key's self-talk, and slashed at him with incredible agility with the blades of his arms.
Rumble! Unhurriedly, Ling Key pulled the trigger again and knocked down the two robot warriors. However, this attack seems to have limited damage, and the fallen robot quickly got up again, except for a hole in its body, which was short-circuited and sparked, it did not affect its continued operation.
Ling Jian stepped back, but touched the wall behind him again—there was nowhere to retreat. But he remained calm, retracted his shotgun, and stopped shooting.
"When I saw these things, I thought, why don't I, as a builder, build two robots?" Ling Key continued his monologue as he reached behind his waist with his right hand.
After the short-barreled shotgun was withdrawn, it was again extended to the right hand in front of him, but there was an extra glove. The bright white of the steel is interspersed with a hint of copper yellow, and some internal gears and other mechanical components can be seen on the knuckles—more appropriately called "hand armor" than gloves.
A mechanical-style hand armor.
Ling Jian stretched his five fingers, and then clenched them into fists in turn. The brass gear, which had been embedded in the bracers, flipped forward and snapped into the grooves of the handmail. With a click, the gears engage and begin to run at a constant speed.
"Now, it's time to work."
The enemy will not wait for him to be ready before attacking. In fact, at the moment when Ling Key had just raised his hand, six blades from three directions attacked him at the same time, sealing all the space available for dodging.
Without hesitation, Ling Key chose to break through to the right and dodge the attacks of the other two enemies. For those attacking from the right, Ling Key swung his fist and bounced the blade away with two clanging sounds.
Homeopathic breakthrough, the hand armor was unscathed.
Looking down, Ling Key's heart was determined - the strength of the enemy's weapons was limited, and he could not break through the protection of the "Craftsman". In this way, you can go to battle without scruples about breaking your equipment!
This mechanical-style handpiece is called "Craftsman", and it is a piece of equipment specially created by Ling Key for himself - as a crafter, of course, his own equipment and props must be done himself, right?
Moreover, this hand armor is also a major symbol of Ling Key's equipment as a maker.
That's right, the "Craftsman" was not a combat equipment from the beginning, but a crafter's equipment exclusive to Ling Key. Its raison d'être is a hand-mounted platform that is a "universal tool" like the Swiss Army knife. The fingertips of each finger have built-in small tools such as screwdrivers, tweezers, gravers, bottle openers, etc.; With gear power, it can also be used as an electric drill or something...... In short, it is a very practical equipment.
Moreover, due to the exquisite selection of materials, as well as the harsh manufacturing process, coupled with the seal pattern technology that Ling Key is very good at, the hand armor itself has extremely powerful physical attributes, and it is enough to make a cameo appearance as an auxiliary combat equipment!
In the face of the ensuing attacks, Ling Jian grabbed the arm that the robot had picked up, and the gear system of the "Craftsman" hand armor made a low clicking sound, and the palm of his hand continued to exert pressure, squeezing and deforming the arm shell made of the opponent's steel. Typically, the "craftsman" can provide a grip of up to two tons.
The motor-driven robot also showed great power, slashing down with the blade of its other arm as it struggled with Ling Key.
Ling Key felt like he had grabbed a rampaging machine, and the other party struggled fiercely, almost overturning Ling Key himself! However, he had already been mentally prepared for this, and with a muffled snort, he suddenly exerted his strength, and used his handbag in his left hand as a combat hammer to smash through the enemy's slash.
It appears to be slender, but the robot is made of metal all over its body and weighs a considerable amount. Ling Jian clearly felt this, for him, hand-to-hand combat with these guys was the worst option.
Unfortunately, because of his previous actions, Ling Key had already taken a few steps forward and was no longer clinging to the wall. At this time, it can almost be said that the enemy is on the back of the abdomen!
There were already robot warriors who wordlessly raised their blades, and the sharp edge stabbed straight into Ling Key's back.
At this moment, Ling Key's eyes suddenly became extremely focused, his right hand still grabbed the robot, and at the same time, his right foot slammed on the ground hard, as if he was about to step into the floor tiles.
In fact, his right foot did sink into the floor tiles, and six steel spikes popped out from the bottom of his thick boot, firmly gripping the ground. From boots to calves, thighs, back, arms, and finally to the "craftsman" of the right hand, a simple and delicate exoskeleton brace is quietly attached to his right half of his body.
"Auxiliary Bracket – Stabilize the Table!" A few words spat out between Ling Key's lips, "...... Heavy hammer forging machine! ”
The gear system was running at high speed, outputting surging power, and Ling Key's whole body exerted force, and through the amplification of the auxiliary bracket, he actually picked up the heavy robot and drew a perfect arc in the air.
"Boom!" The robot was like a heavy hammer, slamming the enemy on the other side behind Ling Key.
For a time, parts and fragments of armor were splattered everywhere. Flashes of electric sparks ignited the leaking oil, and the two robots burst into flames.
The other robots around seemed to be stunned by this sudden scene, and the originally orderly offensive even stalled for a moment.
Ling Jian seized the opportunity to pick up the already tattered robot "sledgehammer" again, and swept thousands of troops with his right leg as the axis!
Bang! The hapless robot in his hand slammed against the wall, and the joints of his arms finally broke off in a state of overwhelm.
A temporary space was also swept out of Ling Key's side.
"That's enough." Ling Jian casually threw away the robot's broken arm. The left hand also let go of the handbag that never left the hand.
Before the robot warriors could rush up again, Ling Key once again reached behind him.
Immediately after, a strange knife with a length of nearly one meter and a width of ten centimeters appeared in his hand.
Zheng! As the boy stretched out his arm and pressed a switch, the blade that had been cut backward suddenly popped out, forming a shape similar to "7" with the handle below - this is a scythe, a large scythe with a blade length of one meter!
Immediately afterwards, the handle part of the knife also pops back in two sections one after another, and the final length reaches about 2.7 meters.
The long scythe, Ling Jian himself is more than one meter eight tall, and he must not be considered short in stature, but when carrying this scythe, it still feels like a child playing with an adult's weapon.
The "Death Scythe", Ling Key's melee weapon, was of course designed and built by himself. Originally, he just jokingly took this name, but no one in this world could understand what he was playing, so this name was recognized by the teachers instead, and it was too late for Ling Jian to change it.
Whew, whew, whew...... Ling Key wielded the massive scythe with ease, then placed it on his left shoulder, tilting his head back to look at all the enemies in front of him.
"It's harvest time!"
The Reaper's Scythe is characterized by its sharpness and is good at slashing. From the very beginning of its design, Ling Key has greatly strengthened its cutting and tearing properties. The meaning of the existence of this weapon is the so-called "mowing the grass", which is specially used to deal with those small minions who are not strong in individual strength but have a large number of them.
Showing this weapon meant that Ling Key was ready to open Wushuang.
It is worth mentioning that the "Craftsman" also has an important function, which is to amplify the touch of Ling Key's right hand - that is, to strengthen his perception ability of the "Law of Refining". With the help of ultrasonic flaw detection technology, Ling Key can clearly "see" the material and internal structure of the object it touches, as well as the defects in it.
It is a very useful function whether it is used for maintenance work or to attack enemy weak points.
In the fight just now, Ling Jian had already discovered the weaknesses of these robots. Make sure that the materials they use are basically not enough to block their own scythes. He stretched out his fingers and stroked the blade, peeling off a transparent film, and underneath this, it was the real sharp blade, the "monomolecular blade" created by Ling Key's unscientific alchemy technology - this was the sharpest physical blade in Ling Key's own understanding.
All the conditions are in place, and the cutting operation is now underway.
Ling Key brandished the long scythe in his hand. He completely ignored the enemies in front of him, whether they approached or retreated, and Ling Jian only cared about himself moving forward. In the same way that he usually practiced, or in the case of a "knife dance", he swings the sickle at high speed. The speed is getting faster and faster, and the air currents generated around it even blow out the flames next to it.
The ground at his feet was torn apart by countless cracks, and Ling Key walked forward like a storm of blades wrapped in a layer of blades at this time.
Finally, the first target was swept into the "storm", and then there was a brief and crisp cracking sound, and the steel body was blown away in the blink of an eye into countless pieces. This was followed by the second, and then the third......
Ignoring all the enemy's movements, Ling Key only waved his scythe and walked towards the most dense area of the enemy. He didn't need to think about how to face the enemy, he just swung it like this, and this is the correct use of the Death Scythe - "Death Flurry".
For this reason, Ling Jian once spent a whole year intensively learning how to "wield a sickle".
Unless the enemy has a strong enough force to block his scythe, this storm of death will not stop.
If it was a normal creature, it would definitely be killed quickly until its morale collapsed when faced with Ling Key's move, and then it would run away with its head in its arms. But at this moment, both sides are in closed rooms, and there is nowhere to escape; And the robot warriors didn't know what to fear, and one by one they rushed up without fear of death and rushed into this crusher.
Zheng ~ The sickle that has been like a bamboo has finally been blocked. Robot warriors aren't stupid either, they use the hardest part of their bodies, the blade, to block cuts. Finally, when he slashed to the sixth knife in succession, Ling Key's long scythe was stopped.
The rest of the robot warriors swarmed up.
Ling Jian raised his eyebrows, his palm moved slightly, and the "Craftsman" and the specific position of the handle were mated, and the gear system was turned on.
Airplanes...... The blade of the scythe suddenly vibrated at a high frequency, and sparks tore apart the blade that was blocking it along with the enemy—the section of the enemy's body was no longer as smooth as a mirror before, but more rough as if it had been violently torn apart by some kind of ferocious beast.
At the same time, the blade of the scythe bounced further away, and the angle was almost at the level of the hilt, making it look like a reversed bladed glaive.
"Waltz of Death!"
The name of the move is very domineering, but it is actually very untechnical - Ling Jian draws a 360-degree circle around him with his scythe, tearing apart all the enemies that come close to this wave!
Then, "Death Flurry" unfolds again!
The enemy did not equip the robot warriors with long-range attack methods, which greatly facilitated Ling Key's operational efficiency.
……
Soon, Ling Key's battle was over. He stopped his hand and put away his scythe.
Then he put it in front of his eyes and carefully observed the blade part: "Tsk, it's time to change the blade again...... This battle is a bit of a loss. ”
Hold the scythe and lean behind it, then withdraw the weapon. Ling Jian turned back and picked up the handbag on the ground and began to examine his battlefield.
Fragments of wreckage everywhere - because once the Dance of Death unfolded, even Ling Key himself could not control its power. The part of the plan to "capture alive" a few complete robots and return them for research seems to have been shattered...... Now you can only pick up a few parts that are still intact, right?
"Alas...... No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat. Ling Jian examined himself as he searched for valuable parts.
Fortunately, at the beginning of the battle, the robot that was thrown by Ling Key with the "Heavy Hammer Forging Machine" as a hammer, although the external armor had been twisted and deformed and a broken arm, the basic structure was still well preserved, including the one that was originally knocked down by it, was also roughly intact, so that Ling Key had more or less achieved the expected goal.
I opened my handbag and stuffed these two hard-won "survivors" inside. Then, finding that the surrounding walls had not yet dissipated, Ling Key, in the spirit of saving resources, continued to bury his head in collecting parts that could still be used.
And outside, the battle of the others is long over. To be honest, this level was not very difficult, and the losses of the raiding team were very small, with only five people suffering injuries ranging from severe to minor - all of them were not good at melee combat.
The most worrying thing is Ling Key's side, after all, he has dealt with the largest number of robot warriors. After the others had dealt with their opponents, they began to attack the wall of the room where Ling Key was, trying to enter and help.
However, the strength of the wall also seems to be positively correlated with the number of robots inside, and the work of breaking the wall is not going well. It wasn't until the last that Old Dekker got out of the customs and smashed through the wall three times.
Then, the people outside were stunned by what they saw in front of them - there were fragments of robots everywhere, not even the extent of the wreckage, there was not a single complete robot!
And Ling Key, the youngest boy in the team, was unharmed, and there were no wrinkles on his clothes.
At this time, the boy was hiding on the ground with great interest, rummaging through the rags......
