Chapter 321: Actual combat test before running away
When Octavier returned to the town stronghold, Nangong Rong had already pasted cardboard for his makeshift car, and even drew a Pikachu on it, which looked particularly joyful. However, Mira and the others were not ready to test the body, and the boy was so bored in the room that he almost rolled on the floor, and immediately regained his spirit when he saw the eldest princess return.
Well, Nangong Rong was just interested in the information that the girl brought back, not because he was happy to see her. After all, with the strength of the eldest princess, it is impossible to encounter any danger when going out for a spin, so there is no need to worry about her.
When Mira saw the girl, she also put down her work, and took the initiative to walk over and ask while raising her hand, "Yo, you're back." How's it going over there in Auburns?"
"For the locals, things may not be good. Octavir replied in a helpless tone, recalling what he had seen and heard, "Many abyssal monsters have absorbed the nuclear radiation produced by the explosion, and then mutated, and their strength, speed, and vitality have been strengthened to a certain extent, but fortunately, the defense has not changed much, and they can still be killed with ammunition." β
Mira had a strange expression on her face when she heard this: "I know, this is actually a way to quench your thirst by drinking." The Abyss was not defeated by conventional force, so nuclear weapons had to be used, and after destroying some monsters, many of them were mutated and strengthened by absorbing nuclear radiation, making them even more difficult to defeat by conventional force, and as a result, they had to use nuclear weapons again. This kind of thing has happened on our side before, and the lesson is very profound. β
"But that's not the most important thing. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands and sighed, "The point is that I saw that many monsters were gathering towards the city of Orbans from all directions, as if all the nearby abysses had rushed over, and the number was very large. β
Nangong Rong also happened to come to the open space outside the room where the body was placed at this time, and after hearing the girl say this, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "There's nothing wrong with them gathering, isn't it okay for creatures like locusts to gather in large groups?"
"The locusts gather to eat all the plants they encounter along the way, so what do you think the abyss is gathering for?"
After touching the bridge of his nose and muttering for a few seconds, Nangong Rong said tentatively in an uncertain tone: "Eh, compete with humans for the crops in the field?"
Octavir was simply angry and funny, and shook his head speechlessly: "In addition to the crops, there are other existences that attract the abyss more than the crops, haven't you noticed? β
The eldest princess didn't think about it when she was shocked and just ran away before, but now after seeing Nangong Rong's face, the girl finally realized what was the reason for her vigilance. If nothing else, let alone the abyss near the city of Orbins, I am afraid that all the monsters in this plane have gathered towards the boy, but he himself has not yet noticed the slightest danger.
Nangong Rong's reaction was not at all unexpected by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and I saw that this guy couldn't help but wonder with a confused look on his face: "Alas, what's the matter with me?"
"Is it because you have a crystal that is crucial to the abyss, or have you forgotten how many miscellaneous soldiers you attracted into the prepared ambush circle through the plane passage last time?" said Octavir with a deep sigh on her forehead, as if she was completely disappointed in the boy, "As long as you still carry the crystal with you, then it will always be a humanoid self-propelled abyss attractor, and the effect is definitely much stronger than the signal generator used to attract alien swarms." β
Hearing this, the young man finally figured it out, and the expression on his face immediately became extremely exciting: "Ahhhhh So what should we do, are we ready to run away now?"
Although the main force of the previous abyss was lured into the ambush circle by Nangong Rong and the others, and the entire army was wiped out, the remaining fish that slipped through the net still formed a spark and swept the world, and after a certain period of development, the number of monsters has reached a desperate level again, if it directly attacks the town, this small convoy will not be able to hold on.
After all, Mira is just a scientist and not a professional officer, and the first thing she thought of after foreseeing the danger was naturally to run away instead of sticking to it, not to mention that she didn't seem to be able to hold on, so she immediately nodded and affirmed: "Well, Nangong Rong, you are right, you should indeed be ready to run." But until then, I'd like to test the body again, because that's what we're here for. β
After all, is it inevitable to test it in the end? Nangong Rong couldn't help but feel a little hurt about this, but after all, this time it was really his own pot, and the young man could only stubbornly put his back on his back and couldn't find any reason to refuse.
ββββββββββββββββββI'm a dividing lineββββββββββββββββββ
Preparations for battle were quickly made, as the size of the troops was not very large, and the mobilization was simple and quick. However, Nangong Rong couldn't see the tank armored car and the accompanying infantry, and the young man was standing outside the town alone at the moment, while the other friends were hiding inside the town.
Even Lin Weiyin was ordered by Mira not to take off, if it weren't for the boy knowing that the only golden retriever cat who could open the plane passage was by his side, he would almost have thought that he was being treated as an outcast.
"Don't be nervous, Sao Nian, it's not going to be dangerous at all. Mira said unhurriedly in the communicator, her tone and lines couldn't help but remind Nangong Rong of some kind of snow-white MLM monster similar to a combination of a cat and a rabbit, "We are just testing the mecha's single-player combat ability against a large group of low-power miscellaneous targets, even if some accidents really occur, the troops will run away immediately, no, rush out and rescue you from the monster group." β
What you just said was running away, didn't you accidentally say what was in your heart, right? Nangong Rong rolled his eyes with disdain, although he also knew that the other party couldn't see it at all: "That's really thank you." But at least let Wei Yin come out to help detect the movements of the abyss from the air, otherwise wouldn't it be clear where the other party had gone?"
The glasses lady successfully closed the boy's mouth with only one sentence: "Don't you understand, we are testing the combat ability of a single aircraft, and we will fly up and reconnoitre." β
Okay, okay, you're the big guy, you have the final say. Nangong Rong pursed his lips speechlessly and stopped talking, manipulated the body biu into the air, and began to search for whether there was an abyss around the town. After all, Mira mentioned a single-plane operation, so it is not surprising that she could fly up and reconnoiter the enemy situation without the help of the Air Force.
From now on, Nangong Rong must act as if he was the only one fighting against the surging hordes of abyss monsters, he has no allies from the ground forces, no air support, and no long-range artillery bombardment, and he can't even see a shadow, and the only thing the boy has is the mecha he is piloting.
Nangong Rong shook his head decisively and threw this idea out of the clouds, he knew very well how many catties he had, he was not a protagonist who could ride a thousand at all, and he was only driving a simple and crude mass production machine, and he didn't even think about annihilating the enemy or anything.
Especially after the boy saw the purple red that covered the earth in the distance, this idea became even more determined.
After landing on the ground, Nangong Rong couldn't help but turn on the communicator and asked very calmly: "Na, Mira, are you sure you want me to fight alone?"
"I don't recommend that you take the initiative and wait for them near the town to come over and then pestering them for a while so that we can record all the data. Although Mira hadn't seen the exaggeration of the number of abyssal monsters with her own eyes, Octavir had already described it clearly, and of course she knew what kind of tactics were the safest to use, "This way, even if something happens, you are within our firepower, and others can provide you with cover in time." β
Nangong Rong thought about it, so he nodded and affirmed: "Understood, then I'll wait for the other party to come to the door." β
Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is right, these miscellaneous soldiers are indeed coming to the town or Nangong Rong himself, they have gathered into a large group all over the mountains, and they can definitely scare people into white faces when they look at it from a distance, but if you really look closely, you will find that these guys have no cooperation and coordination with each other at all, and the scattered formations are all complimenting each other, they are more like students crowded and scrambling to grab food.
In any world, the school cafeteria is like a battlefield, and the Artificial Warcraft Manipulator Training Academy in the Imperial Capital Ledana is no exception.
However, at least Nangong Rong had not seen a stampede in the academy, and the monster's performance in this regard was obviously not as good as that of humans. As they squeezed, some of the miscellaneous soldiers were knocked down, and then quickly trampled into a mosaic, without even a chance to struggle to get up.
It was precisely because of seeing such a clumsy performance of the other party that Nangong Rong was barely able to calm down the pain and decided to fight the monster seriously, otherwise it would be impossible for a young man to fight against a low combat power but with perfect cooperation.
It didn't take long for the boy to see those strange miscellaneous soldiers on the road, and without the guidance of the crystal, they still retained very obvious characteristics of different animals, some like dogs, some like wild boars, and some like insects, which are very different from the abyssal monsters that have completely lost their natural biological characteristics in the real sense. But these guys are undoubtedly also abysses, and as long as they give each other a little chance, they will evolve into even more terrifying existences.
For example, nuclear radiation or something, but Nangong Rong didn't see the mutated monsters with black skin mentioned by the eldest princess.
This time there was no long-range artillery fire, and I don't know if the monsters that stopped and tried to shell were trampled or trampled or flattened by the same kind of people around them, in short, Nangong Rong fired the first shot before the abyss this time, and the deafening sound of shooting quickly suppressed the chaotic howls of the monsters.
In response to Nangong Rong, there was a series of earth-shattering explosions and even louder monster roars, which suddenly sped up like a swarm of disturbed hornets, scrambling towards the steel more than ten meters high in the distance, vowing to completely tear the other party to pieces.
However, the mecha was not a turret erected in place, and Nangong Rong controlled the mech to leave the ground to a height of about half a meter while shooting, and flew at high speed close to the ground. In the past, due to the need to cooperate with the team to form a defensive formation, the body never moved even half a step in battle, but now there is no such restriction when fighting alone.
The boy was more than happy to drive the car at high speed, even though his skills were not at all skilled.
The body did not retreat towards the interior of the town, and Nangong Rong was not playing some trick to lure the enemy deeper, so he took the initiative to face the fierce enemy. Naturally, these monsters would not be polite to the boy, and when the body approached, they immediately jumped three feet high, and tried to pounce on each other with their teeth and claws.
Nangong Rong easily avoided the attacking monsters with a turn, and a delicate magic array was suddenly displayed at the center of their heads, and then a crimson fireball shot out and quickly hit the place where the monsters landed, bursting into the sky with a bang.
That's right, the mech's head has the ability to simply fire a variety of spells, and while that's nothing for a variety of specialized weapons, it can sometimes be a great support.
Have you ever seen a mecha with a water-based freezing spell?
Of course, using this function in the case of activating the flight ability will only increase the consumption of mana, but Nangong Rong doesn't need to care about this kind of thing, and it is his task to test all the various abilities of the mecha as much as possible.
First of all, the speed and mobility of the body, then its ability to cast spells, and finally and most importantly, the ability to resist the erosion of abyssal energy, the boy was a little unsure of what he should do.
In the original plan, the number of monsters that attacked them would be reduced to a certain level, and then they would deliberately let them touch the mecha and wantonly tear at its surface armor, taking the opportunity to contact a little abyssal energy for relevant tests.
But now it seems that it is a bit difficult to do this, at least once Nangong Rong reduces the speed of the body, there must be more than a dozen monsters on the surface, and more importantly, the front armor of the body is replaced by a cardboard with Pikachu drawn, and the boy doesn't think that thing can block the monster's fangs and claws.
Therefore, Nangong Rong suddenly felt that he had a headache.
