Alloy (49)
After the combine army had counted their supplies, they continued to move forward, and Zero learned from the deciphered documents that the passage they had traveled from earlier was called the Corridor of Ruins, and that the final destination of the Modern Legion's journey was at the top of the ruins tower deep underground! (In the second level of "Metal Slug 2", the location of the protagonist's battle with the "Super Crossbow Rock Digging Machine" is on the outer layer of the ruins tower).
Inside the ruins tower, you can travel up to the heart of the ancient ruins, where the high-tech heritage of ancient aliens has been stored for thousands of years!
There are several other forks leading to different places within the fourth floor of the ruins, but all information about those areas seems to have been deliberately erased, so that there is no description of what exactly lies underneath!
At this point, directly in front of the Combine is the last stone gate of their trip, the Wall of Beetles!
The ground beneath their feet gradually covered with yellow sand, and cracks began to appear in the sturdy stone walls around them, and when everyone passed through a large bright door, they found themselves in a complex of buildings that resembled a desert environment!
When you look up, you can see an unknown light source that illuminates the entire space, clearly revealing this relic complex in front of everyone!
Zero suddenly noticed a strange feeling coming from the Arab tears in his pocket, and at the same time, the sharpness of his five senses instantly increased to the maximum, and an ominous premonition rose from the bottom of his heart!
With a loud bang, the huge door behind the Combine was sealed by a boulder that appeared out of nowhere, and a large amount of purple mist appeared on the sand around them, and everyone knew that danger was coming!
"Enemy attack! Mummy! Lots of mummies! A frightened alarm sounded from the rear of the group, and in an instant a continuous burst of gunfire rang out!
I saw a large number of mummies suddenly burst out of the yellow sand on the ground, and those purple mist quickly gathered into a cloud, and after a violent tumbling, a mummy appeared from it.
In fact, mummies appeared not only on the sand, but everywhere as far as the eye could see, and even on the pitch-black ceiling above their heads, mummies using bandages as ropes fell vertically from the sky.
The Combine is a well-trained army after all, and everyone is quickly gathered together, defending against the attack while preventing it from being divided and swallowed by the mummies.
Unlike the ordinary mummies that I saw before that only stiffened physical attacks and cast breath poison from their mouths, there were more types of mummies that appeared in front of everyone at this time!
The green, bandaged mummy, will stand in the distance and spit out from its mouth the same giant mosquitoes found in the Oasis Jungle (according to Zero's information in the underlying literature, these are actually flight-capable mutant scarabs).
The mummy, wrapped in a pure white bandage, will spit out a highly poisonous purple round cannonball from its mouth, and the purple poisonous mist emitted by the explosion will envelop a large area!
These corrosive poisonous mists can even make soldiers taking antidote instantly turn into mummies, and the appearance of hordes of mummy dogs makes everyone's crotch even colder!
With the power of the guns in their hands, the Combine temporarily suppressed the attack from the mummies, but everyone's situation was still dangerous, unlike Sergeant Allen, who shuttled around the battlefield to fight fires, Zero in the center of the team had enough time to observe the mummies.
He discovered that the mummies were not killed or transformed immediately after they captured the soldiers, but instead used bandages on their bodies to wrap them around into rice dumplings and hand them over to the mummies that fell from the ceiling and took them away.
Seeing this, the main quest came to Zero's mind: to save twenty soldiers who had undergone mutations! (Rescue Mission Hell difficulty!) )
Seeing the performance of the mummy, Zero knew that the attack was obviously commanded by the enemy, and after searching around, he found a man with bandages wrapped around his body in key parts on a broken sculpture in the distance, his bare skin was pale blue, and a large number of inscriptions were painted on his skin, and he held a scepter like a hook in his right hand, and his hair ornament was obviously a female mummy in ancient Egyptian style!
This female mummy was completely different from the people around her who were covered in bandages, she didn't look dry and rotten on the outside, and she still retained her appearance from her life!
I saw that the black scepter she held in her right hand was swinging back and forth regularly, and a large amount of purple poisonous mist burst out of the ground beside her, and dozens of ordinary mummies appeared from it, staggering to join the ranks of the attacking combine!
Spotting the enemy's commander, Zero immediately called Sergeant Allen, as he was the only one who had the ability to kill the female mummy.
When he saw the female mummy wielding the scepter, Sergeant Allen spat fiercely on the ground, waved his hand and left the defensive position with his elite troops, recklessly passing all the way...
It is worthy of the bald muscular man whose combat power reaches to the ceiling in the Modern Legion, and the one who plays with a general-purpose machine gun in one hand is called a superb, and the mummies that appear along the road have been beaten into a sieve by random guns almost before he gets close!
Even close enemies will use the fighting technique of using machine guns, looking at Zero is dumbfounded, he knows that the contractor can learn a skill called "gun fighting", but it seems that Sergeant Allen has mastered "machine gun fighting"...
At this time, Zero's only thought was that all the high-ranking cadres of the Modern Legion were monsters? He even guessed that if the contractor who majored in shooting specialization had a good relationship with this bald guy, he would definitely get a lot of benefits.
Of course, the premise is to endure his philosophical language bombardment, such as at this time...
Under the cover of the fire of the soldiers beside him, Sergeant Allen, who was full of swearing, quickly rushed to the vicinity of the female mummy, and began to strafe the target without the slightest hesitation.
However, the bullets fired from his machine gun did not hit the target, not missed, but a pentagram that appeared in mid-air easily blocked all attacks.
The female mummy who was attacked immediately stopped casting the spell, turned her head to look at Sergeant Allen, who was still shooting at her, and pointed the scepter in her hand at the bald guy below her with a look of solemnity on her blue face!
Sensing the danger, Sergeant Allen immediately threw away the machine gun in his hand, rolled over to the side of a mummy, propped it up, and blocked it in front of him, acting as a meat shield.
I saw that the scepter began to gather energy rapidly, and two seconds later, a purple ball of energy shot out and hit the flesh shield that Sergeant Allen had just raised at an extremely fast speed, and then a violent explosion occurred!
