Chapter 396: Mechanical Fortress
Qin Xiao smiled helplessly, what else could he see.
He saw the same situation as Qi Hong, and he also couldn't understand what was going on with these suddenly appearing stars.
Area 53 is an area to be developed, and the people of Endless City can't put virtual life here.
But to say that these stars are the aborigines of Area 53 is somewhat reluctant.
"If they fight in the Plains, these Star Warriors may definitely not be able to defeat the same number and strength of alien beasts, how did they develop here?"
When Qin Xiao's brows were furrowed, Qi Hong expressed the doubts in his heart.
Qin Xiao nodded, and subconsciously said, "Unless they have established a mechanical fortress with a well-established defense system or even a mechanical city, they will not be able to survive at all." ”
"Yes, they wouldn't have survived without the help of external forces." Qi Hong also expressed his judgment.
Qin Xiao subconsciously took out a star power hook and looked at it, his star power hook had only been arranged in the direction when he came.
The ability to detect enemies in advance means that they are emerging from behind them.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiao subconsciously looked back: "Could it be that there is a mechanical fortress in other areas in the direction when we came?" ”
Before the words fell, Qin Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank.
He hurriedly pushed Qi Hong and said, "Look over there, is there something?" ”
Qi Hong looked in the direction of Qin Xiao's finger, and vaguely found that there seemed to be a tall tower over there.
On closer inspection, he saw what appeared to be a mechanical building.
The two looked at each other, and they both saw horror in each other's eyes.
That direction was definitely where they came and passed, and the two of them would never be mistaken.
But when I passed by before, there was nothing, but now there is a mechanical building.
It was even vaguely as if it was not one, but a complex of buildings, except that the tallest one they could see the outline.
"What do you think?" Qi Hong once again asked the question that made Qin Xiao vomit blood.
He resisted the idea of beating Qi Hong violently, and said in a deep voice: "I plan to go over and take a good look!" ”
It's risky, but it's an effective solution.
After reconvening Wen Yuan and the others, Wen Yuan was amazed at what happened to Qin Xiao and Qi Hong.
In contrast, the experience of Wen Yuan and the others who retreated at that time was even worse, they were attacked by dozens of strange beasts, and they almost really lost their troops.
After a brief discussion with Qi Hong, Qin Xiao decided to let the two wounded pilot the battle mecha and temporarily form a mecha battle group with Qi Hong.
This is actually a very irrational decision, and the power of these mechs depends on the strength of the pilot.
The two wounded were already the weakest in the team, and now they were wounded, and the battle mech made it difficult for them to use their full power.
Wen Yuan was the first to protest, but the protest was rejected by Qi Hong.
Qi Hong understood what Qin Xiao meant, and the two wounded had now become a burden to the whole team.
Although everyone didn't say it, everyone knew that in order to ensure their safety, the combat power of the whole team had been reduced.
But if they are allowed to fly a battle mech, the problem of insufficient combat power can be compensated.
Qin Xiao is sacrificing high-end combat power to make up for the team's shortcomings.
Although it is unreasonable, it can save the whole team, so that other teammates do not have to be distracted to protect the injured, and relatively speaking, it is an improvement for the whole team.
As for Wen Yuan's protest, Qi Hong became more and more disappointed in him.
This is just a battle in the virtual world, if in the real world, it is difficult to imagine how a person like Wen Yuan would treat his teammates who are dragging their feet.
Because of this, Qi Hong firmly "occupied" the third battle mech, he just didn't want Wen Yuan to pilot.
Qin Xiao didn't know what Qi Hong was thinking, and after determining the distribution of the battle mech, he led the team in the direction of the mechanical building.
No one objected to the order to explore the mechanical building, and subtly Qin Xiao had become the actual captain of this team.
When everyone got closer, they realized that their previous guess was still too conservative.
Lying in front of them was a complete mechanical fortress, which could accommodate at least 100,000 people, depending on its size.
The tallest mechanical building was indeed not a simple building, according to Qin Xiao's analysis, it should be a watchtower and signal tower, used to detect the enemy's position and communicate with the outside world.
After confirming this, Qin Xiao said unhurriedly: "Get ready to fight, we must have been exposed." ”
Before the words fell, a group of star warriors had already appeared in the mechanical fortress.
This Star Warrior Brigade was exactly the same configuration as Qin Xiao and the others had encountered before, a hundred Shattered Star Realm Star Warriors, paired with three battle mechs.
"It's strange, it's a hundred-man brigade again." Qin Xiao wondered.
"Is there something wrong?" Qi Hong asked.
"Let's talk later, let's destroy the enemy first." Wen Yuan couldn't help but say on the side, and when he spoke, he didn't forget to look at the two wounded people who could fly a battle mech.
Qin Xiao didn't continue, he and Qi Hong rushed out one after the other.
After using the previous method of destroying the enemy again, the enemy was completely wiped out, and three new battle mechs were captured.
In order not to draw out the enemy again, after this battle, Qin Xiao led his people back and did not recuperate until it was safe.
"What do you think is wrong?" After Qi Hong distributed the three newly captured battle mechs, he rushed to Qin Xiao's side as soon as possible and asked the question just now.
"It's a mature mechanical fortress, isn't it?" Qin Xiao didn't answer Qi Hong's question, but asked instead.
Qi Hong nodded and said: "It's very mature, there are all kinds of defense facilities, the star energy of the exploration equipment is also very high, the source of troops seems to be very sufficient, and ...... Elite. ”
The word "elite" made Qi Hong somewhat difficult to say, after all, the star warriors in the mechanical fortress were all empty and had a broken star realm cultivation, but their actual combat effectiveness was very weak.
Compared to the alien beasts in Area 53, these stars are more like beasts, they fight completely on instinct, and they have no cooperation at all.
"A full-fledged mechanical fortress, being able to gain a foothold in this hellish place proves that their self-protection ability is not bad."
"But their combat effectiveness is low, and even the commander of the fortress doesn't seem to know how to use the defensive weapons of the fortress."
"Do you think this is reasonable?"
Qin Xiao expressed his doubts, and directly stunned Qi Hong for a long time.
"That's right, since they discovered our whereabouts in advance, at that distance, it would be enough to activate the defensive weapons in the fortress."
Qi Hong woke up like a dream, and felt more and more that this mechanical fortress was full of weirdness.
This fortress is full of irrationality, but it is terrifying.
After thinking about it, Qi Hong proposed: "Why don't we evacuate, no matter how weird this mechanical fortress is, it can't run up and chase us to kill by itself, right?" ”
Qi Hong said this, but his eyes were full of uneasiness.
You know, when they passed through here not long ago, this mechanical fortress hadn't even existed.
If you want to say that this mechanical fortress has long legs, Qi Hong is the first willing to believe this statement.
However, Qin Xiao, who had already cultivated a tacit understanding with Qi Hong, said the opposite at this time: "I feel that we should go in and have a look." ”
