Chapter 7: The Truth Under Peace
"No!"
Jack roared wildly, all the pilots of the mecha in the town are comrades who can be entrusted with life and death, and Russell is a friend who has played with Jack since he was a child, and he wanted to join the mecha team only with the help of Russell's crazy recommendation.
"Jack! I order you, fire! That's an order! ”
John shouted at Jack with a louder roar over the communicator, and as the leader of the team, he had to suppress his grief and give some unkind orders at these times.
Jack's mech stopped, and there was no movement for a moment.
"Jack! Fire! ”
John roared as he manipulated the mech to shoot a dozen incendiary grenades from the ammo box on its back, and began to cover the retreat of the surrounding mechs.
Liao Yu and Zheng Wei couldn't know what they said in the communicator, but after seeing the death of the first mecha and Jack's hesitation, Liao Yu pulled out the armor from the storage space without saying a word, and aimed at the nearest three Holger worm soldiers is a three-shot headshot, and at an almost close distance, the power of the armor piercing can still penetrate their heads directly with one shot. As soon as Liao Yu finished firing these three shots, Zheng Wei, who was standing on the back of the crypt spider, grabbed Liao Yu's shoulders and lifted him up.
At this moment, Liao Yu clearly saw that the muzzle of the Jack mecha was aimed at the ammunition box of the fallen mecha. In the next second, a terrifying explosion suddenly rose from that point, and the explosion not only turned the small half of the Zerg in the pit into torches in an instant, but also threw the mecha of Jack and the others directly into the air for several meters, smashing heavily on the ground, and running over a green blood path from the ground.
And even though Liao Yu and Zheng Wei had prepared in advance, they were still thrown several meters high by this shock wave. In mid-air, Liao Yu grabbed Zheng Wei's waist, put his position under Zheng Wei in the roll, and took most of the impact when Zheng Wei landed.
"Do you want to go now?"
Zheng Wei turned over and half-squatted on the ground, looked at the pit and asked. With the friendship between the two, he doesn't need to express some superficial thanks in words.
Liao Yu didn't even have the time to reply, he turned over and lay on the ground and directly expressed his opinion with action. He pressed his hands to the ground and cast earth-based spells on the top of the passages. The soft soil collapsed in an instant under the fire of 7 or 8 mechas, and only then did Liao Yu speak:
"You summoned a soul-splitting mud beast in the passage behind the collapse, it can be delayed for a while, and abandoning these main forces is likely to affect our future missions."
After gaining the strengthening of spiritual power, Zheng Wei's current summoning distance has been greatly increased, even if it is more than ten meters away, Zheng Wei can achieve the summoning without difficulty.
And at this time, Raphael used a long whip and a few somersaults came to Liao Yu's vicinity.
"You know?"
Raphael looked at Liao Yu, who was helped up by Zheng Wei, and asked.
"At this stage, it's not surprising that some of my own team members are there."
Liao Yu dodged the pounce of an insect soldier sideways, and slammed his fists on the top of its head with both hands, and its head was obviously dented when it landed, and its entire body collapsed to the ground. As the number of battles increased, Liao Yu felt more and more that his potential strength was constantly improving, and he could clearly sense that the bruises that had just hit him when he landed were about to fade at this moment.
Seeing Liao Yu's performance, Raphael's eyes jumped obviously, Liao Yu's current fighting ability was much stronger than that of him who only knew how to fiddle with magic on the Black Pearl at that time.
"I thought you should be very picky, maybe you won't find a suitable teammate until you reach the rank of captain."
"Sometimes after knowing a person, knowing his potential, of course, it is to start ahead of others to recruit him. X has more potential than many explorers have ever seen, X, this is Raphael. ”
Liao Yu didn't want to expose his relationship with Zheng Wei, and Zheng Wei took the initiative to say hello to Raphael.
"Don't care about the name, it's all code names anyway, it seems that you have a good impression of Su, don't you worry that this guy will die before he reaches the captain?"
Raphael was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What, dissatisfied with your captain?" I don't mind digging into a corner. ”
"Okay, as long as you can afford to give benefits, I don't mind."
Take care of the child's night milk, and the routine will be changed tomorrow
In the mission, it is clearly written that the Holger Zerg is pouring out of the ground, and this defensive shield is covered with half of the air, which Liao Yu can barely understand as a waste of energy caused by its principle and design, but this defensive shield is obviously not deep underground
It's a fart, wouldn't it be nice if the bugs dug in from below, do you have to hit your shield with a headiron? If the bugs were that stupid, then humanity wouldn't be in this situation now.
Of course, Liao Yu didn't want to say it so bluntly on his face, so he could only think of countermeasures while echoing them.
Just now, in order to make a deep first impression on this group of people, so as to improve his status after entering the town, Liao Yu exploded most of his magic power in the battle just now. Right now, he was leaning against the ammo box with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep for a while, using meditation to seize the time to recover some of his magic.
"Oh no, something seems to have happened on Charlie's side, everyone, hurry up!"
However, Liao Yu had only closed his eyes for a few minutes when he suddenly heard John's yelling, and at the same time, Jack's voice also pierced through the tempered glass to remind him to hold on to the ammunition box.
Liao Yu was worried about the safety of Zheng Wei and Huang Jian, and immediately straightened up and looked ahead, but in half a minute, he had already seen the figure of the dark cyan insect swarm, and the four mecha were divided by the insect swarm on both sides. And at this moment, Liao Yu vaguely saw blue arcs appear in the middle of the dark cyan insect swarm!
The tension in Liao Yu's heart was slightly eliminated, although it was not the Zheng Wei and the two that Liao Yu wanted to see the most, but this scene didn't look like something made up by the inhabitants of this world, and the current situation was unclear and there were no conditions for internal strife, Liao Yu certainly hoped that it would be better to meet the rest of the explorers earlier.
As the 6 mecha scattered and rushed to the battlefield, Liao Yu found that there were two familiar faces in the original swarm, Raphael was holding a slender golden whip in his hand and set off a large arc, and on the other side, Zheng Wei was actually in the swarm, relying on the two cave spiders summoned to maneuver with the swarm. Due to the dense swarm just now, Liao Yu didn't see Zheng Wei at first sight. At present, Zheng Wei is fighting near the feet of a mecha with the help of a summon, and there is no injury visible from him for the time being.
Seeing that the support was coming, the four mechs that were fighting fiercely suddenly moved closer to this side, and the firepower of the ten mechs immediately tore a passage in the swarm. A mecha on John's side pulled out a chain with a huge iron ball attached to it from behind it, and swung it to smash a bloody path. On the other side, the same mecha pulled out a rough giant axe from the ammunition box behind him, the blade of the axe was already pitted, but it was big and heavy enough, and it completely relied on the terrifying weight to sweep out a gap in front of him.
At the same time as the two of them moved, Raphael's long whip shook, first whipped away the two Holger worm soldiers in front of him, and then the golden long whip actually reversed its direction in mid-air, and split into two in the air and rolled up the mechanical leg of the nearest mecha, and the whole person took off and hung on the waist of the mecha.
On the other side, although Zheng Wei did not have such a handsome and clean movement as Raphael, he quickly released the levitation technique for himself, and with the help of his summon, he also grabbed the mechanical leg of the mecha next to him. Although Zheng Wei's strength is not as perverted as Liao Yu, it is obviously no problem to support his weight, and this kind of shaking will not be able to throw him down in a short time.
Liao Yu raised his rifle without saying a word and aimed it at Zheng Wei and Raphael, of course, he didn't do this to shoot his teammates, he just wanted to say hello to the two, and if there was an emergency, he would have a response.
Even though Jack's mecha was constantly vibrating violently at this moment, Liao Yu's hands sitting above the ammunition box were as steady as a rock, and he accurately shot several bursts to knock Zheng Wei and Raphael's Holger worms away one after another. At this distance, the individual rifle in his hand was barely able to inflict lethal damage on these Holger worms, but it was still possible to interrupt their action.
The two immediately found Liao Yu sitting firmly above the ammunition box, and the two immediately showed different expressions, Zheng Wei was obviously happy and relaxed, with Liao Yu's cooperation, the two of them were fortunate to try to find some complete forelimbs of the Holger worm soldiers in this swarm of insects. And Raphael's expression made Liao Yu a little incomprehensible, the complex eyes mixed with surprise, emotion and joy made Liao Yu wonder if he had missed any details, did some words leave a deep impression on him when they met last time?
At the moment, there was the sound of artillery fire and the hissing of insect swarms, and Liao Yu had no way to communicate with the two by shouting, so he could only focus on cleaning up these disgusting giant insect soldiers first. With Liao Yu's eyesight, he initially estimated that these insect soldiers were nothing more than 400, in short, there were definitely not as many as 7 or 800, with ten mecha and the help of the three of them, this insect swarm should not take long to sweep away, the strength itself is not one plus one to calculate, 4 people fight two people and 10 people fight two people, the battle loss ratio is not a simple linear calculation.
However, just as Liao Yu was thinking about this, the entire ground suddenly shook violently, and Liao Yu's face changed, and he immediately didn't care about saving magic, and gave himself a simple levitation technique.
At the moment when his magic was released, the entire ground suddenly collapsed!
Due to their heavy tonnage, all the mechs fell into the pit at the first time, and seven or eight tall passages had already been dug underground, and countless insect soldiers were pouring into these mechs from the passages.
Liao Yu had long thought that these insects would not simply rely on the insect soldiers to attack, so he didn't care about the big hole in the defensive shield not far away from the beginning. He had already swept it, and there was no trace of insect activity behind the hole. At this moment, the sneak attack of the Zerg was a relief for Liao Yu, and what made people most worried was not the moment when the enemy sneaked attack, but the time when it was always hidden in the shadows.
He hurriedly glanced at it and found that Zheng Wei and Raphael were also prepared for this situation, Raphael stepped on the top of the mecha in a few jumps, and used the long whip's ultra-long attack range to clean up the insects that kept climbing up for the nearby mecha. And Zheng Wei jumped on the back of the crypt spider as soon as the collapse happened, and climbed upwards with the help of two summoned beasts.
Of course, Liao Yu immediately used the levitation technique to land on the grass, and rushed in the direction of Zheng Wei. Along the way, the Holger insect soldiers who had crawled out of the pit were smashed back by Liao Yu waving his rifle.
At this moment, Liao Yu didn't want to expose the existence of armor-piercing, and the rifle they gave was too powerful, rather than using it to strafe, it was better to use it directly as a stick of a cold weapon. Under Liao Yu's strange power, a crisp clicking sound can be heard basically every time he swings.
Just as Liao Yu turned around and patted away a worm soldier behind him, another worm soldier who had been in ambush for a long time just stretched out half of his head from under his feet, opening his mouth to bite Liao Yu's ankle. However, Liao Yu suddenly jumped lightly on the spot like an unpredictable prophet, just stepped on the top of the insect soldier's head, stepped on it back, and at the same time jumped to the foothold where Zheng Wei was about to climb up.
In mid-air, another insect soldier hissed and bit at Liao Yu, Liao Yu seized the opportunity and stuffed his rifle directly into its mouth, and at the same time shot an ice pick into its open mouth, and the moment the insect soldier landed, it completely became a corpse.
"Hands!"
Liao Yu rolled to the top of Zheng Wei's head and stretched out his right hand downward. One of Zheng Wei's two crypt spiders had already died, and at this moment, the crypt spiders under him struggled to send Zheng Wei up, and then turned around and scuffled with the insect soldiers below.
"What is this!"
Zheng Wei, who had just been pulled up by Liao Yu, had not had time to catch his breath when he heard a frightened shout from the mecha below.
"What's that?"
Liao Yu lifted Zheng Wei up with one hand, Zheng Wei turned to look at the pit below, and found that in just a few seconds, two mecha had been pushed by the swarm of insects, and seven or eight insect soldiers jumped on the top of the cockpit and were frantically tapping the tempered glass with their forelimbs. And it wasn't the predicament of being surrounded right now that caused these drivers to scream, but a dozen or so three Holger worms crawling out from behind the swarm.
These three-legged Holger worms also have a dark cyan carapace, but they have a thick tail needle on their tails, and judging from the dark and shiny needle tips, these Holger worms are obviously not on the same level as these insect soldiers. The special tempered glass in the cockpit can block the constant stabbing of the insect soldiers for a short time, but it is likely that it will not be able to stop the attack of these three-legged insects at all.
"I've been thinking strange just now, can't I imagine that these people are so dish? It's all the same as a newbie. ”
Zheng Wei rolled his eyes, summoned a crypt spider again, and then threw one of the insect soldiers' forelimbs stored behind his back to Liao Yu. He didn't have enough strength to hold that thing and it wouldn't do much.
"It seems that as I guessed, for some reason here, the Zerg did not choose to attack here in a big way, resulting in these new generations not knowing what kind of troops the Zerg has."
Liao Yu took the forelimbs and turned over and jumped, and when he landed, he had already nailed a Holger insect soldier to the ground. He kept communicating with Zheng Wei, and at the same time, he knocked two worm soldiers away. The Carlos Magic Dagger is mainly a magical defense equipment, and the purely physical defense against insect beetles is really not as good as the forelimbs of these insect soldiers themselves.
"Why don't you summon an area-attacking necromantic creature like the Undead Banshee?"
Liao Yu began to chant the incantation after speaking, and then pointed forward with his right hand, and a wall of fire isolated them from the edge of the pit, giving the two of them a minute or two to breathe.
"Nonsense, I tried it the first time, the effect is very poor, the spiritual resistance of this group of insects is ridiculously strong, it is obviously the status of miscellaneous soldiers but it has the level of elite, a banshee can only be exchanged for a dozen insect soldiers at most, and small-scale encounters are almost the same."
As soon as Zheng Wei finished speaking, the battle situation below had already changed.
The two mechs suddenly cleared a clearing regardless of the loss of firepower, and the small rockets immediately covered the exit of the underground passage with precision, blocking the swarm from pouring out. John drove his red and blue mech, his arms converted into flamethrowers, and rushed all the way to the mecha that was knocked down, and the high-temperature flames sprayed directly on the surface of the mech, instantly freeing it from the encirclement of the swarm.
And Jack immediately rushed to another mecha that was knocked down, and two machine guns suddenly rose above the ammunition box where Liao Yu had just rested, spinning and automatically cleaning up the swarm near Jack's mecha, while Jack himself controlled the machine gun on his arm to aim at the swarm covered by the mecha for accurate shooting, trying to relieve his comrades. Judging from the performance that suddenly broke out at this moment, Jack's boasting just now is indeed a little confident.
"This guy is pretty good." Zheng Wei hid behind the summon and Liao Yu, and was constantly attacking the insect soldiers who climbed the pit with his spiritual power. He didn't need to directly destroy or manipulate the soul world of these insect soldiers, Zheng Wei simply attacked their spiritual world slightly when they tried to jump over the wall of fire or pounce on Liao Yu, making them suddenly stunned for a few seconds, and the rest of the things were naturally completed by Liao Yu and the crypt spider, which greatly saved his mental power consumption and could ensure continuous spiritual power attacks.
With Zheng Wei's assistance, Liao Yu never used the remaining one-third of the magic power in his body, and almost all he did was to use his ingenuity to pick up the insect soldiers and fly them into the wall of fire. Under the constant dodging, borrowing, side kicks and other actions, Liao Yu only felt that the sudden extra memories in his mind finally integrated into his body little by little like water.
"Hopefully against those tripods."
However, Liao Yu's words were immediately reversed in the next moment. A line of fire swept towards the three-legged insect that had jumped on the mecha's leg, but this bug actually shrank its entire body, the thick tail needle blocked itself in the direction of Jack, and the dense bullets shot a large spark on the carapace of the tail pin, but judging from the arthropods that were firmly nailed to the mecha's leg, this level of attack alone could not completely solve these three-legged insects.
