Chapter 24: The Enemy Attack (1)
"Enemy attack!"
Gru, who is usually taciturn, was the first to react, and rushed out of the restaurant with a roar, and then the Jun Tian people who reacted quickly got up and rushed to the cab with Gru. www.biquge.info The Ranger was a small spaceship, and the four of them quickly arrived in the wheelhouse and gathered around the TANK in front of the console.
"What's the situation!"
"The radar detected a flying object approaching, very fast!"
TANK voluntarily relinquished the control position to Link - as the Ranger's switchboard, he had to make the final decision on the ship while Lilith was away, even if he was only an inexperienced recruit. And Link didn't talk nonsense, standing in front of the console with a crackling of fingers, the screen quickly displayed a dazzling stream of data.
"Number seven, energy level five, speed four!" Link quickly reported a string of data that Jun Tian didn't understand.
"Is it a patrol robot in the mechanical city?" The question was asked by Tracy, a black girl.
"The patrol robots all act alone, and the energy level is not so high!" Link, who usually looks cute, looks extremely serious at the moment: "It must be a battle robot!" ”
"We've been discovered?"
"Maybe it's just passing by - but we're in their flight path, and even if we're passing by, we're bound to be spotted!"
Link's fingers didn't stop as he spoke, and with a slight shaking, the Ranger began to slowly rise into the air under his control, and in the process, the radar showed seven red dots that were also approaching the green dot representing the Ranger.
"It's only half the distance, is it too late?" Tracy asked nervously.
"If they don't find out that we're maintaining our current speed...... Link didn't finish his words, the red dot on the radar was moving faster with the naked eye, and his face immediately turned red: "Bastard! What is this! ”
Link was embarrassed by his crow's beak, but his companions were clearly not in the mood to laugh at him, all eyes fixed on the red dot on the radar screen that represented the battle droids.
"It's too late!" Gru's deep voice broke the dull atmosphere in the cab, "You must be ready to fight!" ”
Gru said as he prepared for battle, but his feet didn't move.
"So what are you waiting for!" Link, who was sweating profusely in a hurry, shouted loudly, completely lacking his usual cute appearance.
"Waiting for the commander's order!"
Link paused for a moment, then realized who the commander Gru was talking about.
"When are you still paying attention to these!" Link's face was more ugly than crying, "Okay, Tracy stays behind to be my co-pilot, and the others go to the battery - battle preparation!" ”
After Link, Gru and TANK turned and walked out of the cab, while Juntian hesitated, unsure if he was the "other person" that Link said he would say, as he didn't seem to know how to use the Ranger's rotating turret.
"You follow me!"
TANK, who ran to the door, suddenly stopped and beckoned to Juntian, who was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and followed.
"Thank you!"
The situation was urgent, and the two of them did not talk nonsense, and soon came to the position in the middle of the spaceship. There were four rotating turrets jutting out of the ship's surface, which Jun Tian often passed by, but he had never entered, let alone operated—something he should have learned in boot camp after arriving at the Vault, but now it seemed that the process had to be brought forward.
GRU, WHO WAS RUNNING AT THE FRONT, WAS THE FIRST TO DRILL INTO ONE OF THE TURRETS ON THE LEFT, WHILE TANK CHOSE THE TURRET ON THE OPPOSITE RIGHT. The big black man's head had just burrowed into the fort, and he immediately retreated again, and instead he pulled Jun Tian behind him and pushed him into the turret.
"Bring a combat helmet!" TANK TOOK OFF THE HOLOGRAPHIC HELMET HANGING FROM THE TURRET AND STUFFED IT INTO JUN TIAN'S ARMS, HELPED HIM FIX HIS BODY TO THE CONSOLE AND TURNED ON THE FIRE CONTROL PROGRAM OF THE TURRET, "THERE'S NO TIME TO TEACH YOU MORE - IT'S LIKE PLAYING A SHOOTING GAME, AIMING AT THE RED DOTS ON THE HOLOGRAM, AND THEN THEM!" With that, TANK patted Juntian's helmet and exited the turret and closed the hatch casually.
After putting on the combat helmet, the picture that Jun Tian saw was simple to brutal: a black picture, with a thick red line in front of his gaze, and seven green triangles in the distance gradually getting bigger. The red line should be the barrel of the turret he controlled, and the seven green triangles that grew larger in sight were probably the enemy—it was not difficult to guess.
"The enemy is in range in ten seconds!" Jun Tian was still adjusting to the rough holographic image, when a voice suddenly sounded in his ear - it was Link's.
"Can you still speak......"
"Keep the channel clean!"
Jun Tian just muttered a sentence, and immediately heard Gru's low scolding in his ears, and he immediately realized that this was not really a shooting game, but a fight of life and death!
"Five seconds!" Link's voice rang out again.
Jun Tian quickly cheered up, he noticed that the relative speed of the green triangle in the holographic picture seemed to slow down, and his body felt the inertia brought by acceleration - it should be that the Ranger had taken off and was accelerating, but it seemed that it couldn't shake off the faster enemy.
"Three...... Two...... One - fire! ”
With Link's order, two muffled voices came into Jun Tian's ears - the sound of rapid-fire cannon fire close at hand, and the combat helmet could not be completely shielded. As the dull sound of cannon sounded, the holographic image in front of Jun Tian's eyes had two more white dotted lines, but the speed was not fast, at least not faster than the speed of the seven green triangles.
"The target is faster than a shell?" This time Jun Tian didn't make a sound, but he was really surprised, and in order to verify his idea, he pulled the trigger of the joystick in his hand, - "! Jun Tian couldn't help but scold, he saw that in the red line representing his own barrel, the same "slow" dotted line was shot.
"How does this work...... Yes! Before Jun Tian could finish complaining, his head was thrown to the right side of his body by a sudden huge centrifugal force, and his teeth bit his tongue fiercely.
"The target is confirmed, it's the battle robots, and they're firing at us!" Jun Tian, who was crying in pain, heard Link's anxious voice: "Everyone ties themselves tightly, ready to avoid actions at any time!" ”
"Damn, that's a lot harder than designing a game!" Because he had no direct contact with the enemy and no past experience, Yi Juntian's level of tension was actually much lower than that of Link and them. However, he at least already knew that the game he was going to play today was definitely much harder than any game he had played before!
