Chapter 17: The Battle of the Cockscomb (Part II)

The dazzling sun was obscured by a cloud of radiant radiation that swept by from time to time, and the hot wind howled on the sandy earth, rolling up the helpless sand and gravel on the ground, and slapping against the metal shell of the intelligent machine.

The two large-caliber turrets on the cockscomb machine slowly adjusted the angle of the muzzles, and on several twin rows of machine gun pillboxes, the slender barrels slowly rotated, making a terrifying "click" sound.

Yuan Jean leaned down and made a posture ready to start. His exposed skin suddenly changed color, and the thick dark color slowly replaced his original complexion, spreading from the tips of his fingers to his body.

"Bang" between the electric light and flint, Yuan Rang and the Zhi Machinery Group started at the same time, making it impossible to tell whether the loud noise came from Yuan Rang's kick or the Zhi Machine's artillery.

After the transformation, Yuan Rang rushed straight into the rain of bullets, whistling past the machine gun bullets that could easily penetrate a hundred millimeters of steel plates, and these bullets that occasionally hit Yuan Rang could only stir up a string of sparks on Yuan Rang's pitch-black skin.

The range of the attack has been increased, and although it has ensured that it can hit the Yuan Jean who enters the attack area, the overly dispersed firepower has also led to a significant decrease in deterrence.

In the memory of this intelligent machine, there has never been a creature that can resist bullets with flesh and blood, and in the face of machine gun shells, all of them have to turn into a handful of blood rain and become their own nourishment.

Yuan Rang was a kilometer away from Zhiji, and under his full speed running, but in the time of two or three breaths, a small black figure jumped up from the flat ground and shot straight at Zhiji's huge body.

"Bang!"

"Woo......"

After dodging two deadly large-caliber shells, Yuan Rang burst through the front armor of the Zhiji in one go, and entered the nacelle of the Zhiji.

The machine guns looked a little flustered, and the machine guns were swinging around, some of which were even pointing towards the sky, firing a row of orange bullets.

Upon attack, the armor on the front of the Cockscomb snapped open, revealing the intricate and messy parts of the interior and the reactor pile running at high speed.

"Boom, boom!" After a rapid whine, the temperature in the reactor rose sharply, and after a burst of banging, the temperature around the intelligent machine rose to a high temperature of nearly 10,000 degrees Celsius in an instant. The small intelligent machinery under its feet was gradually burned red under the high temperature, and the outer edge of the body even dripped hot molten iron.

This situation made everyone in the shelter a little worried. Although they couldn't see the battle situation in the distance, they first saw a vague figure flying into the body of the intelligence machine, and then saw the terrifying movement erupting from the stomach of the huge intelligence machine, and the billowing smoke was like a twisted black dragon.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Zhiji's move was to burn Yuan Rang to death.

"Is this an invitation to the urn? The Wisdom Machine actually ......" Lawrence's dazed voice came from the microphone, and his words spoke to the hearts of the other members.

It's incredible! If they hadn't seen it in the lab, they would never have believed that the giant machine in front of them was a soft, unconscious fungus!

After a few seconds, the overloaded reactor slowed down and returned to its original place with its heavy armor shell.

The circle of small intelligent machines underneath had turned into pools of unformed molten iron under the high temperature, including the bacteria that had been encased in the shell, and they were obviously too dead to die.

The large intelligent machine is also uncomfortable, although the entire metal shell has not disintegrated and melted in these few seconds of scorching, but it has also been deformed, some parts have been damaged, and the machine gun bunkers on the top of it have been twisted and deformed, and they can no longer be used for the time being.

Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself.

Lifting the eight metal arthropods rooted in the ground, the machine judged that it was no longer able to continue the fight and prepared to retreat.

Just as it shifted its eight arthropods to retreat, a running red figure was caught by its electronic eye to the southeast, and it was the same human who had fought him earlier.

"Bang!"

Without hesitation, the Cockscomb came out of the fortress, and after a bang, an eggshell-shaped metal cannonball erupted from the barrel of the main gun at the top of the fortress. As it escaped, it also set fire to all the remaining stocks of ammunition and explosives in the Wisdom Fortress below.

Ordinary people with fast reflexes can dodge fast-flying bouncy balls, but their own speed may not be as fast as the ball. With extraordinary attributes, the system warrior can have the intuition to dodge bullets and even missiles, but it does not mean that their own speed can reach the speed of bullets.

The initial velocity of the metal cannonball can reach several Mach when the barrel is ejected, which is several times the speed of sound. Even if Yuan Rang had the heart to stop the escape of the intelligent machine, he was powerless.

And what he has to worry about right now is the final blow of the smart machine, no matter how much gunpowder equivalent is left in the body of the smart machine, it is impossible for him to take this risk.

"Find cover!" Before the explosion of the sapient machine, Dora shouted eagerly in the channel.

The crowd reacted immediately and quickly hid behind the walls on both sides of the shelter's door.

Adeline, huddled behind the wall, pressed the button and hurriedly pulled open her mask and shouted to the man a few meters away, "Sir! Please hide in a safe place! ”

The man heard Adeline's voice, looked back at the girl, and suddenly smiled.

Two or three seconds after the machine escaped, the mechanical fortress below disappeared with a thunderous sound that resounded through the sky, and the shock wave caused by the explosion seemed to set off huge waves on land, so that everyone hiding in the shelter could clearly feel the oncoming strong wind. The pillar of flame that rose to the sky was accompanied by billowing smoke, and the two were entangled with each other, rising with the momentum of wanting to touch the sky.

The explosion caused by the intelligent machine was like a giant grenade, throwing countless fragments weighing one or two tons into the air.

A small black dot flashed in his pupils, and this small black dot continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye, it landed inside the door of the vault.

"Boom!"

The impact of the debris crash caused the vault to roll on its back, and one of the closest combatants was even pushed several meters away by the wave of air, and it took several heels to stop.

There was a tremor on the ground, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

Until the rain of debris in the sky had finished and everything had returned to calm, the man outside the door still did not change his posture.

Everyone in the combat team poked their heads out with palpitations, fearing that an iron block would pop out and smash at them.

The fortress of wisdom in the distance had turned into pitch-black embers, the pillars of fire continued to burn, and one or two explosions would erupt from time to time in the iron pier.

"Master, ha...... I couldn't help it, so I let it run. Yuan let the grizzled trot come to the man and said pretending to gasp.

Yuan Rang bowed his head slightly, obviously before leaving, he was ashamed to say that he was nine out of ten, but he still let the target escape.

The imaginary scolding didn't happen, and the man frowned and looked at the wreckage of the intelligence machine in the distance, with a slightly worried look on his face.

"It's okay if you're fine, let's go, go back."

Yuan Rang obediently followed the man and returned to the shelter.

A member of the fourth group stepped forward, squirting bucket in hand, a little hesitant.

Yuan Rang understood what they meant, and nodded in agreement.

"Puff hoo hoo", the members of the fourth team sprayed Yuan Rang with an inactivated aerosol specifically for fungi all over his body, and then came to the fragment for follow-up treatment.

Edith, who was wearing an orange radiation protection suit, stepped forward and bowed deeply to the two system fighters who came to the rescue respectfully, and said: "Thank you very much for your help, the difficulty of this commission is somewhat beyond the level of a first-level threat, and we are willing to compensate you." ”

Edith's words were naturally endorsed by Caroline, and this time the intelligence group was even stronger than expected, and even had strength close to the second level.

"Eh! And this kind of good thing? Yuan Rang leaned forward and looked at a piece of paper in his master's hand, on which was written the gold coins and supplies that had been entrusted to compensate Vault 1724 for this time.

"Then thank you, you can come to us next time you have trouble, I will give you a discount." Yuan Rang's master handed back the piece of paper and said with a smile.

As he passed by Adeline, he nodded slightly to Adeline and said softly, "Thank you." ”

Edith led the two downstairs, while Ethan, Athera, and the others followed behind and took the elevator back to the underground lab. The remaining members of the combat team are responsible for recovering the wreckage of the intelligence outside the shelter.

This siege of the intelligent machine group, codenamed the Cockscomb Flower, is over.
