5. Tarantula tank

"Slaughter? Is it a higher risk index again? The corners of Rayson's mouth hooked up a helpless smile: "Those guys from the Security Bureau, they really mass-produced this thing." ”

The Tarantula II mechanical tank is an automated mechanical weapon that has been developed in the Old World. Rayson's girlfriend Su Ling is one of the people involved in the development. Rayson himself has also participated in the testing of the Tarantula Type II test body.

As a typical, unmanned mechanical weapon developed using bionic technology, Tarantula II is like a real predator, deadly, dangerous, and can even hide itself completely in the desert underground, and launch a surprise attack when the enemy is detected, plus equipped with a variety of high-precision weapons, the Tarantula II autonomous mechanical tank is more deadly than ordinary tanks!

Rayson was awakened to the twelve-point awakening of this massive machine, the size of two tanks, and he knew very well how dangerous this thing was. And from the attack it just now, it can be seen that this machine has now automatically turned on the indiscriminate annihilation mode, and everything that enters its detection range will be indiscriminately obliterated.

The eight mechanical compound eyes that flashed red light could provide all-round insight into the enemy that appeared within three kilometers, and could also calculate the enemy's movement route; The two mechanical feet in front are equipped with powerful weapons and are responsible for the main attack, and the six mechanical feet in the rear are powerful, which can drive the huge entire body to move flexibly and quickly, and even jump over long distances; On its back, there are rockets that deliver long-range fire.

It can be said that this is a perfect killing weapon.

Originally, Rayson wanted to hide, but the ground was flat all around. The green glowing mechanical compound eyes above the tarantula tank swept around, and then aimed at Rayson.

“…… Gan! ”

At this time, an AI prompt came out of the headset: "The target has been discovered." The target's danger index is too high to calculate the optimal attack plan, and the wearer is advised to quickly flee from the target's visible range. ”

Escape? Rayson couldn't help but smile wryly. The AI wasn't very smart, but he knew that the Tarantula Tank was far faster than a normal tank, and at full speed it was even comparable to a racing car, and even with the help of an exoskeleton, it was impossible to get rid of it.

I'm afraid I can't avoid this confrontation.

Rayson pulled out his crossbow bolt and shot it at the tarantula tank's mechanical compound eye.

However, the mechanical compound eye is equipped with a high-precision defensive shell, and although the arrow hits, it does not even scratch the slightest.

Rayson's face became solemn, and one of the mechanical steps of the tarantula tank was lifted high, slamming down on Rayson like a falling rock.

With a bang, yellow sand flew in the sky, and half of the mechanical steps completely submerged into the ground. Rayson rolled twice in a row to dodge the attack.

At this time, Rayson remembered that he still had that shoulder cannon. But after holding it in his hand, he made a difficulty, the shoulder gun did not have a trigger, and he didn't know how to start it when he got out of the exoskeleton.

Since the firepower could not compete with it, Rayson could only relentlessly and decided to find an opportunity to get close to the tarantula tank.

He had to try to find the biggest weakness of the tarantula tank with one hit. That's the only chance to win.

However, without allowing Raison to think too much, the mechanical step that was stuck in the sand suddenly opened the iron lid in a certain position, and a huge black disc stretched out.

Rayson's eyes widened suddenly, Nima, Gatling!

Tongues of fire spat out one after another, the wind was mixed with the smell of gunpowder, and the flames in the sky rained frantically towards Rayson. With the help of the exoskeleton, Rayson hurriedly retreated backwards, but he didn't want to be a sand dune with a huge drop behind him, and his whole body rolled down, all the way to the end.

Rayson, who got up, didn't care about shaking off the sand and dust on his body, and continued to put his hands on the shoulder cannon.

"Please! Wake up! Give a reaction! Rayson cursed secretly.

The Gatling on the mechanical step paused for a moment, the muzzle of the gun reddening and emitting puffs of smoke. Before he could catch his breath, Rayson heard a strange "boom" sound, like the sound of a soda bottle opening.

As soon as I looked up, there were two more meteors in the night sky above.

Rayson still doesn't understand where it is, it is clearly a rocket fired by a tarantula tank!

Two rockets hit at the same time, and Rayson's nerves collapsed to the limit, his eyes observing the distance of the rockets, and he slammed his shoulder cannon in his hand, like a remote control repairing a malfunction.

The Tarantula Tank's rockets can automatically track the enemy, and the speed is so fast that you can't dodge it.

Finally, the shoulder cannon reacted, and the electronics above showed a faint light.

"The pulse cannon signal has been detected, it has detached from the main body, is there a remote connection?" Electronic sound comes from the headphones.

"Connect now!" Rayson shouted angrily, and then pointed his shoulder cannon at the rockets that were rapidly approaching in midair.

Rayson still remembers that the tattooed man directly controlled the shoulder cannon with words, and shouted without hesitation: "Fire!" ”

The shoulder cannon received the command, and after a second of charging, it spit out a huge fireball, and the two rockets less than ten meters away were instantly engulfed.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a huge shockwave and flames exploded in midair, spitting out billowing smoke that flooded the entire area.

The high temperature of the rocket explosion made it impossible for the tarantula tank to search for Rayson's location through the thermal induction of the mechanical compound eye, but its artificial intelligence did not regard Rayson as a dead state, it was like a real predator, and only when it saw the corpse of its prey with its own eyes would it give up.

The tarantula tank took the initiative to enter the smoke after the bombing, but for a while, Rayson was not found, and wandered around the area bombed by the rocket for a while, and then walked out.

It's just that when it came out, there was an extra figure on one of its mechanical steps.

Rayson's coat still had sparks on it, and the whole person was climbing on the mechanical steps, and there was scorched dirt on his face, looking a little embarrassed. But that couldn't hide the ferocity in his eyes.

With continuous dodging and current actions, the exoskeleton's power has been depleted: "If the core power is less than 5% left, it is recommended that the wearer recharge the device as soon as possible, or go into a dormant state." ”

Regardless of this, Rayson continued to climb on the tarantula tank. The Tarantula Tank sensed Rayson's presence, but his current position was in the Attack Corner, and many weapons were useless.

The Tarantula Tank could only keep flicking its mechanical steps, trying to shake Rayson off.

Rayson struggled to hold on, relying on the help of the exoskeleton device, and climbed slowly but surely up the mechanical footsteps, finally stopping at the back of the tarantula tank.

"If memory serves...... This is it! ”

Rayson struggled to stand up on the back of the tarantula tank, pulled out his knife and held it behind his back, aiming at the touch position and inserting it with all his might.

The blue arc light opened a hole in the back of the tarantula tank, and when you looked down from the hole, you could see a cylinder that shimmered silver deep underground.

It was a large power battery, and a piece of such a thing was enough to support the Tarantula tank for hundreds of years. It is also Rayson's target, the key to victory against the Tarantula Tank.

The monocle sensed Rayson's gaze, and the AI immediately gave feedback: "The target power source battery has been found to have sufficient energy reserves, and if it is impacted, there is a 98% chance of explosion." ”

This did not make Rayson hesitate in the slightest, and he would rather risk letting the latter tank explode on the spot than to run away and be chased by the tarantula tank endlessly. The shoulder gun in his hand was aimed at the battery under the hole.

"Fire!"

The moment Rayson felt the recoil, the entire tarantula tank shook, and then began to convulse like an epilepsy, every joint and part of the body exploded with electric sparks, and all kinds of weapons were activated in the chaos, and Gatling, missiles, and all of them were launched, exploding sparks on the surrounding desert surface and void.

"A major impact is detected, please move away from the area quickly! Please get away from ...... quickly."

Without being reminded by the AI, Rayson had already jumped up and retreated. But as soon as he jumped into the air, the tarantula tank exploded in a huge way. The powerful shock wave pushed Rayson backwards from mid-air, and the huge impact and roar made Rayson feel like he had been hit by a truck for a moment, and his whole body flew out uncontrollably for more than ten meters before he fell to the ground, and a burst of flying sand was raised.

After the roar, an area of the desert was filled with fire, and a large mushroom cloud rose. The tarantula tank has been reduced to nothing, and only the parts that flew out of the ground can prove that it once existed.

Rayson annihilated the tarantula tank, but he was not much better, he was affected by the huge shock of the explosion, and at this moment he collapsed on the ground, dizzy, and his ears were buzzing.

"Less than 2% of the core power remains...... Enter the forced hibernation ......"

AI feedback came from the headset, but Rayson's brain was still groggy and completely unresponsive.

I don't know how long he lay down, Rayson struggled a few times, and with great effort, finally stood up.

The next moment he got up, he took a step towards the east.

He still remembered his goal, to go to Devon City, to find clues about Su Ling.

But just a few steps later, I suddenly heard a dull engine sound in the distance.

At first, Rayson didn't pay attention to it, just thinking that his tinnitus had not improved. But soon, I saw a moving light not far ahead, approaching this way.

It was a line of motorcycles, and at the end of the convoy, followed by a power armor, and the thrusters behind him burst out with a not-so-dazzling fire, apparently deliberately following behind.

The convoy also spotted Rayson and drove over and surrounded him. A group of young men and women disembarked from the motorcycle, looking Rayson up and down with curious and wary eyes.

At the same time, Rayson also observed them, these young men all had weapons in their hands, and it was estimated that they were stationed nearby, attracted by the explosion just now.

A girl stood up, her face was full of brutality, the boy's general short hair was full of wildness, and the slightly shorter clothes on the upper body could not cover the vest line on the flat belly, she was not very old, but her development was not inferior to that of a mature woman, and the lines outlined were already quite charming.

She squinted at Rayson, "Who are you?" ”

"Passers-by." Rayson turned around and wanted to leave, he didn't know what these young people wanted to do, and he didn't care, he had wasted too much time along the way, he just wanted to get to Devon City as soon as possible.

Seeing this, a young boy stepped forward and stopped in front of Rayson, his face full of arrogance: "Let you go?" Stay honest with me. ”

As he spoke, he also pushed Rayson.

Rayson's gaze froze, and he moved his right hand twice, ready to draw his knife at any time.

The man in power armor looked around and found the truck that Rayson had driven and was now burned to scrap metal.

"Captain...... Look over there......" The wearer of the power armor called the short-haired girl and motioned in the direction of the truck: "That car...... Did it last week when the Imperial Army's Mountain Eagle attacked our base? ”

The crowd looked at it. The boy who was blocking Rayson narrowed his eyes slightly for a while, and then an angry look appeared on his face: "Okay! You kid is really a miscellaneous member of the royal army, Lao Tzu killed you! ”

As he spoke, the boy took out his pistol and jerked on the load, pointing it at Rayson.
