Chapter 2: Mecha Vertical
"Please select a simulated war or map, please select the mecha you want to use." An electronic voice prompted.
"Choose a simulated war - the Iron Fortress." Taishan Road.
Taishan's choice of this war was expected by Zhao Xingchen, because this war was the war that the teacher talked about the most, and it was also a war that he was more familiar with.
"Introduction to the Iron Fortress: The time of the war - 2052 A.D., the location - Earth Demon City (a newly established steel city), the elite forces of the Zerg attacked the steel city that humans had just established on a large scale. This war is a war that has the potential to decide the fate of mankind, if it fails, then the steel city and the city guarded by the mecha will still not be able to stop the footsteps of the zerg, and in the end, only the fate of destruction awaits mankind. At that time, each steel city was equipped with less than one super mecha on average, and in this war, the human race invested four giant beast mechs in the magic city. Due to the need for the simulation to be closer to reality, the simulation data is consistent with what happened at that time, the simulator can only use the giant-type super mecha, the number cannot exceed four, please choose to automatically match teammates or two-person simulation. ”
"Auto-match teammates!" Taishan Road.
"The battlefield is selected, the mecha is selected, and the sensing device is activated."
I saw that a layer of mecha phantom appeared around the two of them, and a three-dimensional image of the NZ-1 machine gun in the mecha hand also appeared on their hands, and through the sensor, it was as if they were really incarnated as a mecha.
"Prepare and start entering the simulated battlefield."
The scene changes, and Zhao Xingchen finds himself in a steel city. The three giant beast mechs beside him stood silently.
In the distance is a tall steel wall, with many soldiers busy at their feet, wielding limited artillery weapons and preparing to resist the Zerg invasion.
Looking down from the mecha, humans are as insignificant as small ants.
There was an air of slaughter throughout the city, and everyone understood that the war was coming, it was a race war, and everyone couldn't avoid it. The people who live in this city have already entered the underground alloy fortress, and if the war is lost, millions of people living in this city will die.
"Didi, Didi......"
Suddenly, there was a loud alarm on the city wall, and the red siren lights came on and flickered.
"Alert! Alert! Zerg invasion, Zerg invasion, please be ready for battle, alarm ......"
Suddenly, a black tentacle came to the top of the steel wall, and the front end of the tentacle was firmly grasped at the top of the wall.
Then the second, then the third, countless tentacles appeared, followed by countless monsters that looked like octopuses but had hard skin.
Through the knowledge he has learned, Zhao Xingchen has learned that this thing is called "Twelve Tentacle Worms".
Twelve tentacle insects: weighing about 600 tons, similar to the octopus on the earth, with twelve long tentacles, all the tentacles can be spread out with a diameter of more than 100 meters, with a strong ability to climb over obstacles and sweep, a typical killing machine, the original earth warriors suffered heavy casualties in front of this kind of bug.
The twelve-tentacle insect has dark skin and is covered with black bumps, which is very defensive, and it is difficult for ordinary knives and guns to hurt. The insect feeds mainly on plants, but also on plastic products, sludge and even oil.
The tentacle worm fell to the ground against the steel wall, and looked at the wall as if it were walking on the ground.
One by one, the tentacle worms fell to the ground.
Zhao Xingchen subconsciously took a step back, he had never seen such a terrible thing, is this a race war, human beings are so small.
Thanks to the humans who created super mechs to fight these monsters.
"Click!" The sound of a bullet being loaded.
"Come on, let's have a good time together." I don't know who shouted.
"Fight!" The four of them shouted loudly at the same time.
Although the four of them didn't know each other, everyone knew in their hearts at this moment that at this moment they were warriors who depended on each other for life and death, and they were brothers who could give their backs to each other on the battlefield.
"Da da......" The fire snake was like a shuttle, and the armor-piercing bullets shot at the tentacle insects like flying fire snakes.
One by one, the tentacle worms were blasted and shattered by angry bullets, and finally died. But there are still countless tentacle insects that climb over the courtyard walls and attack the four mechs.
Huge bullet casings kept falling from the mecha's feet, and the bullet casings came into contact with the steel ground to strike a heroic war song:
On this turbulent battlefield
Storm Boy appears
In the fight against the roar of the fire
Noisy the whole world
The era of signal mecha is coming
Warm blood swims against the current
The chariot is hot, and the warriors are unstoppable
Come on mecha mecha come also ace to be wild
Break through the universe and level the world
Oh mecha mecha wild ace to vent
Fighting is our stubborn starting point
I will manipulate my power and make my voice stronger
Watch this dragon battle in the wild
Thousands of hot-blooded warriors on this battlefield galloped forward
Defending the World Warrior Fighting again
This is a passionate hymn that people composed for mecha warriors when the first generation of mechs came out a long time ago.
Another purpose of this song is to attract and recruit people with special abilities who can drive super mechas, after all, there were very few psychic abilities and high-level warriors in that era.
The tentacle worms are constantly being beaten into mud and falling, but there are endless bugs behind them.
The tentacle bugs are getting closer and closer to the mecha, and their tentacles are fully extended, and they can even attack the super mecha.
The tentacle insects are not afraid of death, they continue to advance under artillery fire, and the front row will be immediately replenished after they fall, so that they can move forward little by little, and death does not make them retreat or even be timid, as if they regard death as nothing.
When they were fifty meters away from the mechas, the tentacle insects in the front row picked up their tentacles and began to attack the four mechas.
For a while, countless black tentacles attacked the mecha like huge black poisonous snakes.
Zhao Xingchen subconsciously wanted to retreat, looked at the other three, and found that everyone was very calm, still calm in this crazy killing pleasure and did not intend to retreat.
Zhao Xingchen was at a moment's heart, and at the same time thought of what he had learned in class: if the twelve tentacle worms are the dream demons of the ground troops, then the super mecha is the dream demons of the twelve tentacle worms.
"Bell ......"
Sure enough, the tentacles struck the mech's legs, and there was only a slight sound of steel resonating, but it did not cause any actual damage to the mech.
Although this wave of attacks did not cause any damage to the mech, it still had a great effect.
Everyone knows that the giant head in the middle of the tentacle worm is where the bug's brain is located, and if you blow it up, the bug will die and fall. Originally, several people were aiming at the head of the bug.
But at the moment when the tentacles attacked, Zhao Xingchen still subconsciously adjusted the direction of the attack and fired at the overwhelming tentacles. Zhao Xingchen knew in his heart that this approach was wrong, even if these tentacles were smashed into thousands of holes, it would not cause fatal damage to the insects, let alone stop the insects from moving forward.
Zhao Xingchen looked at the others, and found that several of them were almost as good as himself, and they had already disrupted their respective shooting targets, it seemed that everyone was similar in the face of fear, so it could be seen that several people were of similar age, and they may be students like himself and Taishan, and their actual combat experience, and even simulated combat experience were far from enough.
Mecha simulated battlefield, Iron Fortress is the earliest simulated battlefield, and can only use the giant-type super mecha in the first generation of mechas, only junior warriors living on the earth will choose.
The human beings who have migrated to the interstellar world call the earthlings indigenous to the earth, first of all, they do not want to simulate the war on the earth, in their opinion, the space war involving countless interstellar warships and mecha is what they want to simulate and learn, and secondly, they don't look down on the first generation of mecha at all.
The people of the earth no longer know that the people living in the starry sky have studied the fifth or sixth generation of mechas. What the most advanced mecha looks like and how powerful it is, you will never know if you don't contact it, you can only blindly yearn for it, so going out of the earth has become the dream in the heart of every earth teenager.
All tentacles retreat with a single hit, though they do no damage to the mech.
But at this moment, the few people who piloted the mecha saw that all the tentacle insects suddenly moved forward at the moment of this blow, and looked down from the mecha, and the black pressed insects had already reached the front of the mecha.
Just when a few people launched an attack on the attacking tentacles, the casualty rate of the insects was greatly reduced, and at the same time, the insects continued to advance.
In other words, the blow of the tentacle insect just now not only reduced the casualties of its own side, but also took a big step forward, and the effect is not insignificant.
Several people quickly adjusted their mentality, and once again pointed the muzzle of the gun to the tentacle worm's head and continued to fire.
Immediately after that, the second wave of attacks of the tentacle worms was launched, and more tentacles than last time attacked the mecha again.
This time, several people didn't pay attention to the attacking tentacles, but still aimed at the head of the tentacle insects and continued to fire, but there were too many tentacle insects to kill at all.
Unlike what was imagined, this time all the tentacles did not whip the mecha, but all the tentacles brushed the side of the mecha, and then rolled upside down, instantly wrapping around the mecha's feet and calves.
The next moment, all the insects entangled in the mecha exerted force at the same time, and in just two seconds, all the insects entangled in the mecha crossed a distance of dozens of meters and really came to the mecha.
Zhao Xingchen only felt that his body and the mecha's body shook at the same time, although he didn't fall, he felt dangerous. It is definitely not wise for a super mech to melee with a swarm of bugs.
Whether it was because of fear or what, Zhao Xingchen had to choose to clean up the bugs that were entangled in him first.
Looking at the others, they also chose to be like themselves, and kept firing at their feet.
Angry bullets flew, and one by one the tentacle insects were exploded and killed, but the tentacle insects in the rear were unblocked, and rushed towards the mecha at a faster speed to entangle the mecha.
The corpses of the tentacle insects under the feet of the mecha were spread layer after layer, slowly forming a mountain of insects, and the four mechs were slowly surrounded by four huge black insect mountains.
Zhao Xingchen wanted to retreat, but suddenly found that he couldn't move, just like an ordinary person suddenly had a thousand pounds of weight tied to his leg.
At this moment, a bad feeling suddenly rose in Zhao Xingchen's heart, from the beginning, the tentacle insects did not intend to cause damage to the mecha, but wanted to use the number and weight of the tentacle insects to drag the mecha from moving, even if these tentacle insects died, this effect still exists.
What's even more terrifying is that the number of tentacle insects is still increasing, as if four mechs are going to be piled to death with their numbers.
"Whew-"
Like the sound of a sharp blade tearing through a steel plate, the steel wall, which was completely made of steel and was ten meters thick, broke through the wall with the tip of a knife, and the metal wall, which should have been indestructible, was broken like papier-mâché.
"Sneer——, sneer——, sneer——,......"
One after another steel knives pierced through the steel wall, and the steel knives that shimmered with cold glow looked extremely sharp, and the next moment the steel knives began to cut the wall, and under the action of the force, the wall that should have been incomparably hard was torn apart like cutting tofu.
At this moment, an inexplicable feeling rose in everyone's heart, and the real crisis officially came.
