Chapter 3: Assimilation of Flesh and Blood
"The shooting hole is opened, and the ranged troops are ready!"
The black gold armor that had withstood the ferocious blow of the flesh giant fist instantly opened hundreds of shooting holes that were large enough for a mechanical weapon to poke into with Lynch's order. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As a user of the bladed weapon, Xie Ning is naturally also a member of the long-range unit, and as soon as the captain's order was given, Xie Ning had already rushed towards the nearest shooting hole with his hands and feet.
"Whew, whew, calm down and concentrate on fighting. ā
Xie Ning steadied his arm, which was a little nervous and trembling from the first battle, and closed his eyes and took a few long breaths.
After a few seconds, his eyes opened again, and his dark eyes were completely determined, and a black flame seemed to burn and jump in his pupils.
Now is the time to pay for the blood debt of these damned corpses, and I must end the nightmare of eight years ago with my own hands!
Shainin poked his musket into the shooting hole and fell down in a half-kneeling firing position.
Through the shooting hole, Xie Ning saw that the flesh and blood giant hand that had collapsed due to the reaction force of the heavy punch just now had already shown signs of reorganization, and the scattered corpse rain seemed to be dragged by an invisible big hand after it landed, as if it was like an iron object attracted by a magnet, and quickly flew towards the flesh and blood severed arm, and fused into it again.
"Target Giant, shoot!"
Shainin's right arm slammed into force, and the steam core embedded in it immediately swirled violently, and the white steam suddenly broke through the skin epidermis of Shainin's right arm and erupted like a volcanic eruption.
Not only Shainin, but also shooters at other shooting hole locations also burst out a large amount of white steam from the parts of their bodies with steam cores.
And the weapons in his hands also made a roaring sound under the infusion of the steam transportation pipeline. For a moment, there was a white mist on the shooting hole of the black gold giant armor, like a huge sauna room.
Although the weapons held by the shooters were of different shapes, some were in the form of guns, some were in the shape of bows and crossbows, but with the sudden infusion of steam, the firing pipes at the tips of the weapons gradually turned red with a roar.
"Click" Xie Ning pressed the trigger of the musket in his hand fiercely, and the barrel of the gun, which had been filled with steam and became hot, burst out a large amount of white steam like a bursting balloon, and what was shot out together with the steam that exploded was a pure white crystal bullet -- an air bullet.
The essence of an air bomb is a munition that condenses into a crystal-shaped steam core in the human body and then condenses into crystals in the weapon.
This kind of long-range ammunition can be divided into various types such as air arrows and gas gunpowder according to the different types of weapons and the use of crystal cores, but they are collectively called air bombs for convenience.
The ability to vaporize crystallized munitions is generally practiced by mechanical warriors who use ranged weapons, which is also due to the fact that after a lot of experiments, the Terrans have discovered that only vapor-condensed crystalline munitions in long-range weapons can cause damage to aliens.
As for the common bows and arrows and muskets used by the Terrans before the harvest day, they were just tickles for the aliens.
As for the mechanical samurai who are dedicated to melee combat, they are more likely to use steam to strengthen their weapons and bodies.
Hundreds of air bullets swept towards the flesh giant hand like a white storm in the dim night.
The moment the air bombs touched the surface of the giant arm, they exploded one after another to recover into high-pressure and high-heat steam, and several more huge openings were exploded in the flesh giant arm that had not yet recovered its form.
The white steam scattered from the huge gap, and in the light of the vast moonlight, it seemed like a large grinning mouth, but what was seen in this mouth was full of churning and twisting human corpses, like chewing snacks.
The giant arm seemed to be in pain, and despite the part of the palm that had not fully recovered its form, it smashed straight into the armor-breaking beast that the Iron Wolf was riding.
However, before it could move, the troops from the backs of the other Armor Breakers also took on the offensive with fire. White steam erupted from the back firing ports of the other five behemoths, tilting a white storm of air bombs towards the giant hand.
Tens of thousands of air bombs pulled the white steam tail and slammed and burst. From a distance, it was as if countless thin white threads had grown from these two flesh-and-blood giant arms, firmly connected with the other five armor-breaking beasts.
The corpses that formed the giant arms were shattered one after another by the explosive impact of the air bombs, and they were torn apart from the pile of corpses.
Some of the corpses were even completely vaporized in the air bombs sent by the stronger ones. Even if the corpse wriggled frantically and tried to reassemble, it was far from being able to catch up with the speed at which the whole body was peeled off.
In this round of long-range offensive alone, the two giant arms that were originally penetrating the sky and capable of crushing the defenseless armor-breaker with a single blow were crumbling to the ground, and only the tattered forelimbs that could barely support the main body without collapsing were left.
"The steam core has cooled down, shoot again!"
Because the steam core is embedded in the human body, a large amount of steam energy generated during its vaporization will be trapped in the human body, resulting in excessive temperature.
At this time, you need to pause the core activation and wait for it to cool down before using it, otherwise the forcible driver will burst and burn the limbs, or at worst die with a whimper.
Of course, as the Core level increases, the user will be able to activate the Core multiple times before the cooldown, and the cooldown time will be greatly reduced to almost eternal use.
However, for an emerging mechanical warrior like Xie Ning whose steam core was only a low-pressure fourth-order, it would take nearly ten minutes of cooldown time to just fire an air bomb.
"Second wave of shooting, fire!"
Xie Ning was just about to pull the trigger but felt a tremor on the back of the armor-breaking beast he stepped on, and the whole person could barely stand up only by trying to grasp the edge of the shooting port, and more of his comrades around him had already fallen to the ground, and even Brother Niu, who had always been known as having a heavy chassis, fell to fight.
"Beastmaster, what's going on?!" Captain Lynch asked loudly as he steadied himself and hurriedly established a connection with the Beastmaster, who had fallen to the ground and was in a hurry to establish a connection with the Armorbreaker.
"There's something underneath the Armor Breaker!"
"What?!"
Before he could finish speaking, another pair of giant arms stretched out from beneath the ground, holding the armor-piercing beast as strong and heavy as a fortress.
Unlike before, these arms were no longer composed of tens of thousands of corpses, but instead wore neat black iron armor, and cyan scales could even be seen at the seams.
"This is the body of an armor-breaking beast!" Xie Ning was shocked, the armor-breaking beast had just been ambushed and eliminated one, and it was immediately fused and used by the corpse spirit.
It's no wonder that the corpse spirit didn't act immediately after eliminating the leading armor-breaking beast, it turned out that it was immediately fusing the corpse of the giant beast and digesting the battlefield resources.
At this moment, the owner of the black armor giant arm also poked out his upper body from the ground with the cracks that were broken.
I saw that below the two black iron armor arms were completely spliced together by millions of corpse bones, and the two flesh arms that had been shattered were also connected to the bottom of the black iron arms, only the giant rhino horn head of the armor-breaking beast was connected to the chest of the corpse body, and the original head above the rhino horn head was also a hideous face made of flesh and blood.
The whole giant corpse was as terrifying as a four-handed King Kong with blurred flesh and blood.
The massive bloody corpse fused with the Armorbreaker firmly embraced the behemoth that had been transformed into the fortress's defenses, and then threw it into the air, completely ignoring the part of the corpse that had been scattered by the massive movement.
Xie Ning only felt that his body sank as if he was carrying a heavy burden, and then when he felt his body relax, he found that he was already in mid-air, and his comrades on the same team were floating in the air with him, even the Iron Wolf Captain Lynch was no exception.
The entire Iron Wolf team was rapidly descending from a height of several thousand meters above the ground along with the armor-breakers that had been thrown into the sky
