Chapter 63: Dragon's Lair
"After the disaster, the pink mist spread above the ground, and the remnants of the Revival Society moved into the underground labyrinth in time, and cut off the connection with the ground, thus preventing the fog from entering the ground, and recuperating for a future counterattack."
As the elevator descended, Hong Yuesheng's mind resounded with what Ami said to him before leaving:
And the only way to enter the underworld is to become a "sacrifice". ”
"Sacrifices?"
Due to the devastation of the Yaksha in the Allied Day War, the Revival Society is increasingly focused on continuing to develop the Yaksha as the main military force, but the Yaksha has strict requirements for the human body to be modulated, and only by passing the test of the Dragon's Lair as a "sacrifice" can it become a candidate for modulation. In addition, the Revival Society announced that those who pass will enjoy special warrior subsidies, including themselves and their families, who can move to the underground world to escape the invasion of pink mist. ”
"Then find a way to send me underground."
"Going alone, there is more than luck."
"I've already died once, it doesn't matter if I have one more time."
"Hey!" Gillian, the steel ring control commando captain who was forced to escort Hong Yuesheng, interrupted Hong Yuesheng's recollection: "Close your toy helmet, the area below is polluted. ”
The sneering toy in her mouth was obviously a reference to the Lionheart Mecha. Although she was so sarcastic, in fact, she couldn't help but look at this unfamiliar armed equipment behind her back - although the Spring Lan Guild Hall had a lot of Meda Busuya's equipment, but the mechanical heart mecha, which was the core military secret of the United States, was not a single one except for the antique machine that Hong Yuesheng snatched from the club without authorization.
Hong Yuesheng knew that she was still angry about the previous conflict, and she didn't reply, so she pressed the button on the dashboard, and the head armor closed in response. Gillian also put on her black helmet with oxygen supply. For some reason, after spending more time together, Hong Yuesheng had a sense of déjà vu for her. But the name Gillian really doesn't match her with steel rings nailed everywhere and wearing a tight military uniform that highlights her hot body, he thought.
The elevator then travels into the ruined area of the building, a gift from the Valkyrie bombing a year ago. The rich pink mist quickly penetrated the ruins and seeped into the elevator, enveloping both people and mechas, as if falling into melted candy, and even having the illusion of smelling a thick cane sugar scent... It's nothing more than a highly poisonous candy. Looking at the ground through the mist, it is a water ghost that surrounds the Harunoarashi Department Store like a dense sesame seed sprinkled on candy. The previous artillery fire temporarily stopped their movements, but more and more water ghosts gathered and were ready to move, and if they attacked again, the Spring Ran Hall would be more than lucky to resist.
Driving through the exposed building, the elevator goes underground. When the door opened again, there was a huge warehouse-type basement of the Harunoran Department Store.
"Follow me, don't mess around!"
Gillian was in front, and Hong Yuesheng followed behind and walked to the depths of the warehouse together. The roads are lined with a variety of equipment and vehicles, of different types: mostly stolen goods collected before and after the disaster, ranging from military vehicles to luxury sports cars, but the glamorous convertibles are no longer useful.
In the middle of the distance between the two of them, I don't know if the light bulb was broken or the power supply was insufficient, and the light was dark, and when they passed, Hong Yuesheng's mecha suddenly detected a flickering biological information on the side.
Bang dang! Bang dang!
Almost at the same time as receiving the message, Hong heard the sound of hitting the iron fence and heavy wheezing in the corner of the room.
Hong instinctively manipulated the mecha to raise the machine gun in his hand.
"Put your gun down!" Gillian shouted.
"What is it?"
"It's none of your business! Take care of yourself, you don't have to worry about anything else. Gillian replied coldly.
When following Gillian through the dark corner, Hong Yuesheng still couldn't help but look sideways a few more times. As if sensing his gaze, the crash and demonic gasps intensified.
Gillian stopped at the end of the room, pressed the switch in the corner, and the spotlights shone down, revealing a giant armored vehicle in front of her.
"The president will arrange the best armored car for you."
Sure enough, this armored vehicle is one size larger than the Spider Chariot driven by the previous assault team, and it is equipped with everything from high-speed machine guns to steering guns, and the huge rear compartment can be tilted to place the Lionheart Mech.
"But according to me, this is a waste of our resources!" Gillian said with anger in her tone: "This was originally equipment for us to find food and energy, but now we want to bury you!" Did you know that even a squadron can hardly get close to the entrance to the Dragon's Lair? Not to mention going on! Don't expect my commando team to save you again! Feed! Talking to you!? ”
Gillian found that Hong Yuesheng didn't listen to her at all, and didn't even pay attention to the armored car in front of her, but looked up at the side and above, and became even more angry.
"What are you looking at!"
She followed Hong Yuesheng's gaze and saw that it was a giant annular track that was close to the size of a small tank. Above the tracks are sections of robotic arms, each with bearings connected to each of them, which appear to be freely rotating joints, and in the fourth section there is an outward-facing machine gun. Look out into the shadows to see five other identical giant tracks and arms facing the air, all of which fold down at the joint between the third and fourth sections, converging onto a round turntable on the ground, which is supposed to be the centerpiece of this grotesque machine. A total of eight spider-like electronic eyes circled the core, but the center was empty, as if some important device was missing, causing the entire behemoth to collapse to the ground weakly.
"Cut! This... ”
Gillian not only let out a mocking sneer: "The spider tank, known as the "King of Land Warfare" of Meda Busoya, the collection of the former president, no one has the ability to move it since moving here, so don't be delusional... ”
Hong Yuesheng's attention had been completely attracted by this behemoth, which felt like the perception of the first contact with the mechanical heart mecha back then. He didn't pay any attention to Gillian's words, and instead raised the Lionheart Mecha's hand to touch the machine tentacles in front of him.
"Hey! Are you listening to me! Gillian was so angry that she was about to stop it further, when the dusty spider tank suddenly let out a low roar.
Airplanes~~~
With the sound, the steel tentacle bearings began to rotate, and the six legs stood upright, driving the middle core off the ground, and the circle around the core lit up one after another, emitting a stunning red light, as if suddenly coming to life. The core approached Hong Yuesheng's position. Hong doesn't dodge either, and when close enough, the core is like two sides apart, as if welcoming the master.
Gillian watched dumbfounded, watching Hong Yuesheng manipulate the mecha into the open core ring. As soon as Hong Yuesheng entered, the core was closed again, and it fit perfectly with the Lionheart.
"Coo~" Lisa Lisa of the Lionheart mecha let out a cheer, the combined spider tank was finally reborn, and the powerful six-legged mecha rose from the ground, and at the same time, as if the strong warrior who had been sleeping for a long time wanted to show off his muscles, the armor around the tank was opened in many places, and a 7.62mm anti-aircraft machine gun was turned out inside, and the anti-tank heavy gun poked out from the top of the core, not only eight single eyes, but even every node of the mechanical arm shot lights, like holiday fireworks.
On the periphery of the Spring Orchid Department Store, many machine gunners are waiting at their respective posts, ready to deal with the attack of a new wave of "water ghosts". The sound of the underground warehouse opening drew the heavys into the plaza in front of the department store, where the floor opened in two directions, and the Spider Tank was transported up by an underground elevator.
"****, what's that?!" The Heavy was amazed at the behemoth.
In the cockpit of the tank, with the help of eight external spider eyes, Hong Yuesheng can observe the surrounding environment at 360 degrees without dead ends. Not only that, but after merging with the tank, the fire control system with Lisa as the central processor has been further upgraded, including more sensitive sensors, rangefinders, low-light night vision devices, artillery two-way stabilizers, and aiming line stabilizers, etc. Among them, the rangefinder uses a neodymium glass laser for calculating the aiming angle and azimuth advance angle of the artillery; The sensor receives information from the outside world at any time, whether it is the tank itself or the driver's physical condition; The weapon omnidirectional sight is a combination device that can measure the range day and night, aiming, and all kinds of information on the screen are dazzling, if all the new equipment is learned from scratch, even the most professional driver has to be a month, but fortunately, Lisa and Hong Yuesheng are the same body, after Lisa filters and calculates, only meaningful information is transmitted to Hong Yuesheng to make a judgment, which greatly reduces the reaction time.
"Open the front door and let that big toy out!" The voice of Commando Captain Gillian can be heard from both the defense command center and the machine gunner's headphones.
Despite everyone's suspicions, the command center followed Gillian's orders.
"Level 1 security, the main entrance is about to open. All Heavy are in position, and not a single Water Ghost can be let in. ”
The Heavy reloaded their weapons and aimed at the front door.
In the department store, more Chun Zhilan clubs also crowded to the window to look at the rare things below.
"You leave for a minute, and then the door closes." Gillian's voice enters the Spider Tank.
"Lisa," Hong Yuesheng ordered, "prepare to rush at full speed." ”
"Goo~~" With Lisa's chirp, purple electricity spread out from the Lionheart Mecha's whole body, flowing towards the Spider Tank, the spider bowed the three mechanical legs in front of it, and the back legs stood upright, causing the back end of the abdomen to tilt upward.
As soon as the door opened, before the water ghosts outside the door had a chance to rush in, the rear end of the spider tank erupted with fierce blue-purple flames, and the six legs loosened and no longer clung to the ground, and the whole body jumped up and rushed straight out of the door. When the door of the Harun no Lan Department Store closed again, only scattered water ghosts and countless corpses and severed arms were left in front of the door.
The spectators were all speechless in surprise, and Ami, the chairman in front of the upstairs window, smiled proudly.
The floor of the department store plaza was closed again, and the faint light shone through the pink mist on Gillian's face covered by a protective mask under the square.
"Hey, fatty. Do you think he really has to make it to the Dragon's Lair? ”
The female commando with a grim face covered with nail rings opened her eyes to send the "big toy" in the distance, and at this time she couldn't help but start believing the teenager, "... I don't know what happened to his bastard friend named Zhongjiu? ”
Bang dang! Bang dang!
The cage next to Gillian made a violent impact again, and the last ray of light before the warehouse closed into the cage, and inside was a swarthy fat man who had turned into a water ghost, but still like a balloon that had been blown up, with a heavy wheezing sound.
