Chapter 50: The Helios
A wasteland of hundreds of thousands of square meters is overgrown with shrubs and weeds with yellowed leaves, and it looks like a large green and yellow stall spread out in the winter sun.
A concrete road more than ten meters wide extends from the shrubs, and at the other end of the road, a large black complex of buildings stands quietly in the desolation.
The satellite positioning system was turned on inside the mech, and a topographic map of the vicinity appeared on the virtual screen.
You can see that the black building in front of you is surrounded by this wasteland on three sides, and behind it is the Suzhou Creek, which is hundreds of meters wide.
Ma Ping'an drove the X-5 and followed closely behind MIKI-160, but his eyes kept glancing towards the wasteland.
With his eyesight, he could naturally find that in this seemingly barren and calm land, there were dangers everywhere.
In the clusters of withered yellow grass, small dirt bags more than half a meter high occasionally bulge, which are inconspicuous in such an uneven wasteland.
But these small bags of dirt are extremely evenly distributed, with one every ten meters or so.
Although it is staggered, there are some slight differences between the distances.
But if you look closely, you can see that the open space next to each small earthen bag is almost an equal 100 square meters.
At the base of the sparse shrubs, through the reflection of sunlight, you can see silk threads so thin that they are almost discernible to the naked eye, forming a huge net that envelops the entire wasteland.
Ma Ping'an couldn't help but secretly speak, those small earthen bags should be small hidden fortresses, and those silk threads don't know what they are for, but they definitely won't be rubber bands for children to jump.
Although this strongman hall is only a second-rate gang, the defense outside alone is so tightly arranged, it seems that there is indeed a big problem.
In a matter of moments, the two mechs were already in front of the black complex.
When I got closer, I found that the building was a whole connected together, with no doors or windows on both sides, and the smooth walls exuded a metallic luster.
There is a drop of five floors from the middle to the very edge, and the lowest floor is about 10 meters, making it look like a huge fortress.
There is no courtyard in front of the building, and in the middle is a tall arch of nearly ten meters.
In front of the archway, several strong men with weapons were patrolling back and forth, and MIKI-160 saw a golden mecha behind his buttocks, and all of them showed a look of surprise on their faces.
A man with a red trim embroidered on his cuffs hurriedly ran up and said, "Miss, you're back!" The latter is..."
Shu Ting was a little impatient: "You don't care who he is!" My friend has to report back to you! Let's get over! β
"Yes, yes, yesβ" The man waved his hand bitterly, and the others hurriedly opened the door.
Shu Ting drove the mecha inside for a few steps, and suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "Hey, don't tell the old man that I brought someone back!" Otherwise, I'm going to let me know... Hmph..."
As soon as she snorted, the men hurriedly nodded violently, and even sweat came out of the forehead of the leader.
"This chick is quite fierce..."Ma Ping'an looked at the guards, snorted, and followed behind with an X-5 fox fake tiger.
After entering, there is a long corridor, although it is spacious and tall, and brightly lit, the black walls still give people a sense of oppression.
Ma Ping'an took a closer look, at the top of this corridor was a lighting system composed of incandescent lamps, and there were rows of small holes emitting a faint blue light next to it, which looked inconspicuous under the cover of the brightness of the incandescent lamp, and it seemed that it should be a defensive weapon.
Every fifty meters or so, a 20-centimeter-wide indentation appears on the floor and top of the corridor, making it look like a track.
Looking at the tiny gap between the bottom of the wall and the floor, it's almost certain that the corridor is movable, squeezed in from both sides if needed.
If the walls were made of metal, even an armored car would be crushed into a discus.
After walking more than a hundred meters inside, a hall appeared.
Shu Ting led Ma Ping'an to a doorway on the left side of the hall, then jumped off the mecha and put her palm on a fingerprint verifier at the door.
A reddish light flashed, and then a female voice came: "Verified." β
The door automatically slid open, Shu Ting hooked her hand towards Ma Ping'an, and jumped on the mecha and walked inside.
Ma Ping'an looked at the fingerprint authenticator, quietly turned on the X-5's automatic recording function, and then followed.
After a total of about five passes, after the last door opened, Ma Ping'an was taken aback.
It was a large room of several hundred square meters, and in the room, there were dozens of mecha standing on the extended wall, and each mecha was of a different model, and almost every manufacturer in the alliance had products here.
"Handsome, right? It's my brother's collection! β
Shu Ting jumped out of MIKI-160, ran to a column-shaped console in the middle of the room, and pressed a few buttons, and a wall on the front slid open, revealing a space of about ten square meters.
Pointing inside, a strange expression flashed across Shu Ting's face, and said to Ma Ping'an: "My brother is playing in the training ground, I have contacted him, you go over first, I'll find some instruments and come right away!" β
Ma Ping'an answered and walked in.
As soon as the door closed, there was a slight vibration, and it felt like the space was descending, and then there was a 'ding' sound, and it stopped, and the door slid open again, and a huge space appeared in front of it.
At this time, according to the feeling, it should be dozens of meters underground, but there are many things in this space that should not appear here.
Trees, buildings, streams, miniature hills... There's even a sun-like luminous body at the top.
"What the hell is this place... That chick can't be that she has no money to pay the bills and is ready to kill someone, right? β
Ma Ping'an frowned and walked forward, and the moment he stepped out of the door, his heart moved slightly, and suddenly he made a tumbling gesture.
A blue light swept by, sparking a shower of sparks on the wall next to it.
Ma Ping'an did not hesitate at all, X-5 made several difficult dodge moves in an instant, and quickly swept behind a four- or five-meter-high hut.
Several metal friction sounds sounded, and it seemed that someone was directing the mecha to make a clapping motion, and then a male voice came: "Not bad, my sister said that someone can beat her with X-5 MIKI-160 I still don't believe it, now look at your skills, I believe it!"
Well, there's no need to hide behind that, I just tried you... Take it easy. β
"Try? That's a few hundred energy for that attack! Ma Ping'an scolded secretly, but of course it was impossible to be so obedient, turned sideways slightly, and poked out the environmental collector from the back of the house.
About a hundred meters away, a mecha flashed out from behind a few trees, its body flashing with silver light in the black, and a red symbol radiating in a circle on its chest.
"Isn't this the mecha that won the new Demon Capital Overlord last year?"
Ma Ping'an was taken aback, but immediately, a feeling of eagerness suddenly appeared in his heart, and such an opponent, whether he won or lost, was extremely beneficial to participating in the Mecha Championship.
He didn't know that at this time, opposite him, the owner of the black mecha was in extreme surprise, although his tone was calm.
Wang Jue stared at the hut in front of him tightly, and a look of incredulity appeared on his handsome face.
He was the overlord of the 4113 Alliance Mecha Tournament New Magic City, although he had to abstain due to some special reasons in the second round of the finals.
But in his own heart, he never considered himself a failure, but most of this self-confidence was built on the Helios.
This mecha was acquired by him by an extremely fortuitous chance, and it has some technology that is ahead of its time.
For example, the reflected microwave detection system can penetrate ordinary shields.
Before the X-5 came out of the elevator, he had already relied on this system to calculate the shooting route and time, and it should be a 100% hit according to common sense, but he didn't expect it to shoot into the air.
Although he originally wanted to see if it was really as his sister said, he found a master who could modify the X-5 and could compete with the MIKI-160, so he lowered the attack intensity a lot.
But just this time, he became interested, and an impulse that he hadn't seen for a long time surged in his heart.
"Now it's my turn to try!"
One stood there, the other hid behind the house, the two mecha stared at each other for a long time, Ma Ping'an was really itchy, and suddenly shouted.
As soon as the words came out, the lever was slammed, and X-5 made an unconventional sideways movement.
At the same time, the blue light of the energizer gun in his left hand flashed, and three beams of the finished font flew away, enveloping all the paths of the black mecha.
Wang Jue's reaction was not slow, X-5's left arm had just been raised, and he had already manipulated the sun god to pick up a rock more than four meters wide in front of him with his foot.
Under the cover of the rock, the mecha quickly retreated, and in an instant, it disappeared into the woods again, and Ma Ping'an's sneak attack was also lost.
"That kid reacts very quickly..."Ma Ping'an made X-5 cower behind a pile of bulging mounds, surveying the surrounding terrain.
This is someone's territory, and he has already suffered a big loss in terms of location.
And judging from the video of the game, the defense strength of that black mecha is extremely high.
The X-5's attack strength is only one hundred and forty energy degrees, and if you want to win, you can only break its defenses by hitting the same point in succession.
Thinking about the tragic appearance of the enhanced version of the knight in the video, Ma Ping'an couldn't help but shudder.
Relying on the X-5's current defense strength of one hundred and fifty, as long as one shot is fired, it is estimated that it will be chilling.
"Damn, why mess with him when he's full..."
Ma Ping'an scolded himself secretly and moved to the side cautiously.
The mound was so low that the X-5 was almost lying on the ground, and this posture could not produce explosive power, and if the opponent attacked, it was basically a dead end.
There is a concrete wall more than three meters high next to it, which is almost connected to the mound, and as long as it is safe to move over, the mecha can stand upright and hide behind.
But after only moving about a meter, the opponent began to shoot as if he knew his purpose.
The terrifying attack power was immediately manifested, and the concrete wall that was nearly one meter thick collapsed half of it after a few shots, and a space of more than two meters suddenly appeared between the mound and the wall.
If you want to get there, you have to risk being exposed to the other party's attack, and looking at the current condition of the concrete wall, it seems that it is safer to hide in this pile of dirt more than ten meters thick.
At this moment, Ma Ping'an suddenly had a feeling of powerlessness.
When encountering such an opponent with too much difference in strength, the technique and telekinesis reaction speed have lost their effect, and the only thing you can rely on may be your own weird intuition.
It's just a pity that the intuition didn't seem to be too reliable at that time...
