422. Forcible boarding
Each type of man-made angel has extraordinary self-healing powers.
Within three seconds of their heads leaving their torsos, the scarlet fluid that flowed from the cross-section changed.
The liquid had been flying outwards along the force of the impact of the explosion in obedience to inertia.
But now, the scarlet liquid had thickened and become more vibrant, uncharacteristically rolling back into the smooth wound.
The head of the artificial angel was dragged by its blood, and moved closer to the cross-section of the neck.
Countless slender strips of flesh protrude from the facets of the neck and skull, entwined together like impatient lovers.
It won't take long for the bowl scar on the neck to disappear in the wriggling of the strips of meat.
At that point, the artificial angel's head will be tightly integrated with the torso, leaving only a shocking ring of scars on the neck.
This super self-healing ability comes from the passive skill "Death Waiver Order", which is necessary for adult artificial angels.
Only adult artificial angels have this passive skill, and underage angels do not.
Because of this, the craniotomy of an artificial angel must not be performed until the artificial angel is an adult.
During the days that Li Nuo was amusing the artificial angel breeding planet, he had already figured out the doorway.
After the artificial angel becomes an adult, the number of times the "Death Waiver" is triggered increases by 1 for each year elapsed.
The artificial angels in front of him who protect the transport fleet are about 28 years old, and they have been adults for 8 years, and each has 8 chances to avoid death.
After deducting the craniotomy that the artificial angels underwent when they were just adults, they still have 7 chances to avoid death.
At this moment, it is basically impossible to kill them 7 times in a short period of time.
Oh, and by the way, don't even think about killing them during their respawn phase.
The strip of flesh sticking out of the wound is recovering from the injury, that's right.
But this artificial angel in the resurrection stage is not a living thing, but a dead thing.
Cutting it with a thousand cuts at this time will not trigger the next "death pardon".
It must wait until it has regained its original form and regains its mobility before killing it again to trigger a new "Death-free Pardon".
Leno was able to learn about this strange kill rule, not because of practice, but because he had seen it in the experimental records of the Angel Business Consortium.
The Angel Business Consortium has conducted a lot of practical research on artificial angels.
A large number of unbelievable artificial angelic properties have been excavated.
In addition to the "death pardon", there are many brain-opening features.
For example, artificial angels are viviparous creatures that reproduce similarly to humans.
That sounds pretty normal.
But don't forget that the artificial angel in adulthood will have their brain tissue gouged out and put into the pilot's cockpit...
If there were no pilots piloting artificial angels, how would adult artificial angels reproduce?
What's even more absurd is that while the pilot was piloting the artificial angel, his nervous system was connected to the artificial angel's nerve signals.
… The nerve impulses, which are far more intense than those of humans in the event of an unspeakable event, on the one hand, give pilots a far more than normal experience, and on the other hand, become one of the biggest culprits of pilot death.
No way, it's so exciting, even neural connection pilots can't stand it.
Another situation that can cause the pilot to die violently because the nerve signal impulse from the artificial angel is too strong, and that is the death of the artificial angel.
The more sudden and intense the artificial angel's death becomes, the more likely it is that the pilot piloting the artificial angel will die violently.
Don't look at the 20 artificial angels who have entered a resurrection state at this time, and it won't take long to recover, but in fact, the 20 groups of pilots who flew them suffered heavy casualties.
Li Nuo used the "Targeted Flame Explosion Technique" to create an explosion, and combined with the "Energy Shaping Technique" to forcibly pinch the blast impact into a "blade", and then used the "blade" to cut the neck of the artificial angel.
This series of maneuvers was completed in such a short time that even a pilot in a state of neural connection could not react.
All pilots who fly artificial angels will experience the pain of being decapitated because they are unable to cut the neural connection with the artificial angel.
However, the pain will not last long.
The coldness and powerlessness of the past transmitted from the artificial angel will quickly overshadow the pain of decapitation.
The "death" nerve impulse signal emitted by the artificial angel will destroy the pilot's will in an instant, tearing open the pilot's brain, followed by a bang, and the pilot's head will explode.
Through passive deconstruction, Li Nuo learned that he had killed 20 artificial angels and 9 pilots in the operation he had just done.
The man-made angel that the pilot is missing, even if he is resurrected, cannot participate in the battle, and can only wait to be recovered.
The pilot's able-bodied artificial angel will regain mobility after approximately 3 minutes.
Therefore, the prime time left for players is only 3 minutes.
As soon as Li Nuo raised his hand, he opened his five fingers and clenched his fist hard.
"Buzz—"
A series of electrophoretic roars rang from all over the heavy transport.
The armed men on board were horrified to find that the shield protecting the ship had somehow disappeared.
"Oops! The energy pipeline is damaged! One shouted.
An alarm sounded in the hallway:
"Beep-"
"Energy diagnostics system activated."
"Beep-"
"The diagnosis is complete, the main energy pipeline is cut off, and the emergency energy pipeline is being activated."
The Heavy Transport has 20 shipboard shield generators.
With so many shield generators, it's hard to activate them at the same time.
According to the contingency plan developed by the ship's engineers, the ship's shield will be restored from the critical parts of the ship.
The ship's power room is the ship's power room that is connected to the emergency energy pipeline first, then the ammunition room, the bridge and other parts of the ship, and finally the less important cargo compartment passage.
Including the heavy transport ship in which Li Nuo was located, the ships of the entire transport fleet had the same emergency plan.
The cargo hold passage becomes the key for players to board the ship.
Li Nuo pinched the timing and just wanted to send a task to the players to remind them to board the ship, but saw that the players who had been staring at the artificial angels before had already taken action.
As if they had received someone's order, they rushed towards the ship that had lost its shield protection, and they didn't need Li Nuo's reminder at all.
"Oh? Yes, the commander in charge of commanding the player did have a hand and was not surprised by the sudden death of the artificial angel. ”
Li Nuo nodded slightly, and the evaluation of the player commander in his heart improved a little.
He simply gave up on the mission and instead shook his right hand again and activated the magic bombs that were placed in the cargo hold passages of each ship.
These bombs, protected by the "Veil of Otherworldhood", were placed by Li Nuo in the cracks of the outer armor plates of the cargo hold.
Once detonated, a rich and violent magical energy burst out, and under Li Nuo's guidance, it targeted the weak points of the outer armor plates.
"Boom—"
A heavy, muffled sound came from the lower deck of the heavy transport ship, causing the hull to shake slightly.
The shrill sirens sounded again.
"Beep-"
"Beep-"
"Warning, warning."
"There was an imbalance in the air pressure of the cargo compartment passage, damage to the external armor plates and hull structure, and a partial failure of the artificial gravity field."
"The shipborne repair robot is urgently demanding."
The technology tree of the Angel Enterprise Consortium is all focused on biotechnology that is integrated with artificial angels.
The Bureau can use nanobots to repair ships, while the Angel Enterprise Consortium can only use so-called shipborne repair robots.
The efficiency of the repair robot is very different from that of the nanobot, with the former being the size of a human, and it takes at least 10 minutes to repair the hole that Li Nuo has blown out.
The shield is gone, the broken hull hasn't been repaired, and it's a bit of a stretch if players can't force their way into the ship.
Fortunately, the players did not disappoint Li Nuo.
More than 50 players screamed and rushed towards the hole in the heavy transport ship, and rushed in a swarm in the face of the bullets and bullets of the armed crew.
Thanks to the limited firing angle of the ship's turret, the barrel cannot be aimed at the hull, otherwise these players will definitely have close contact with the shells.
However, even without the addition of shipborne batteries, the players still suffered casualties.
All of them approached the ship in flesh and blood, inevitably being shot by the Organism Extermination Gun.
With a thud, their bodies exploded within the power armor, turning into thick beads of blood and minced flesh that smeared the entire inside of the armor.
Leno did not warn the players to use the Transfiguration spell.
He wanted to see how responsive the players were, and pick out the ones who really had the talent for magical combat.
Sure enough, a few players were so alert that they almost instantly recognized that the guns in the hands of the enemy were specifically aimed at flesh and blood.
They hurriedly selected the transformation spell in the spell list, clicked to activate, and transformed themselves into strange life forms such as gas people, stone people, iron people, etc.
In this way, even if the armed crew stuffed the barrel in their mouths, it would not hurt them half a point.
Although the rest of the players didn't react so quickly, the basic quality of being an elite player is still there.
After seeing that some players were immune to enemy fire, they immediately realized that changing their form could effectively fend off attacks.
Some of them activated the Transfiguration Spell and relayed their findings to the Commander.
In a few moments, the player commander gave the order to transform all of them into other forms.
In less than half a minute of firefighting, the armed crew was surprised to find that the enemy had all changed, and that their guns were as useless as a burning stick.
"What's going on with these guys?"
"How did they become monsters?"
"Shoot, shoot, quickly switch weapon mode and keep shooting!"
"It's useless! Switching to laser mode is useless either! The power armor on them has a coating attached to it! We've got to use kinetic weapons! ”
The chirping and shouting came and went.
The armed crew had to abandon their guns and draw their serrated swords to meet the enemy.
Serrated sword... What an old melee weapon.
While the Sawtooth spins at high speed under the traction of the engine and chain, it's just a melee weapon.
No way, who told this group of armed crew that their guns could only shoot beams of organic extinction and ordinary laser rays, not bullets.
Only the serrated sword that he carried with him could cut through the power armor of the enemy.
But the players don't give the armed crew a chance at all.
After discovering that the opponent intends to use close approach, the player who first boarded the ship immediately raised his gun and fired.
"Bang bang bang-"
The gunfire was intense, and bursting bullets flew out, striking the armor of the armed crew, bursting with large sparks.
For a moment, countless fragments split by exploding bullets scurried around the corridor of the cargo hold.
Although the armed crew also had power armor to protect themselves, they were still inevitably staggered slightly by the impact of the bullets, and their steps were stunned.
After such a pause, another group of players forced their way aboard the ship and joined the queue of inclined fire.
Several players laughed merrily as they fired their guns:
"Hahaha~ Are these crew members stupid? What age are you still using melee weapons to engage in broadside combat? ”
"yes, you don't need to put a gun, what kind of serrated sword do you use, which serious person would use that thing."
A young player bends down to pick up a laser gun on the ground.
After a little tinkering, the little player burst out loud:
"Oops, I said why don't they rob it. You see, this feather gun can only shoot organic extinction rays and Type A laser beams, and it can't break our defenses at all. ”
"Hahaha~"
"Thankfully, we did our homework before we set off, removing the armor module from the Power Armor and adding a laser reflection coating."
"These NPCs are so miserable, they have suffered the loss of being uneducated."
Laughter abounded in the cargo aisle, and players had a great time, quickly expanding their advantage and grabbing more plates.
Well, it won't be long before the players stop laughing.
In Li Nuo's induction, several groups of armed crew members who rushed over from other parts of the ship carried a lot of electromagnetic guns.
Space-age electromagnetic guns use electromagnetism as a power source to fire alloy bullets, much like they did during ground warfare.
But space-age electromagnetic guns are a bit more advanced.
Its bullets can be made from different cores, which can then be excited by the force of impact, creating a magnetic storm or flame.
The player's Power Armor has a laser reflective coating, which does protect against some laser attacks.
However, in the face of magnetic field interference and electromagnetic disturbance, their power armor may not be paralyzed due to poor shielding ability.
Similarly, Li Nuo did not intend to help.
The list of spells he provides to players includes spells to deal with electromagnetic guns, and it all depends on whether players can be flexible.
The only things that can really make Li Nuo help are ship shields, external armor plates, and artificial angels, which players will never be able to deal with.
Li Nuo turned his gaze to look at the artificial angel outside the ship.
Twenty artificial angels recovered, nine of them paralyzed by the absence of pilots.
The remaining 11 artificial angels did not approach the ship to deal with the players in the cabin, but instead dragged a long tail flame and flew towards the player fleet in the distance.
This is a sensible thing to do.
Space-age weapons can't do "zero friendly damage".
Artificial Angels can easily eliminate players concentrated in a ship, but they can also deal a fatal blow to their own ship.
Rather than dealing with players boarding the ship, artificial angels might as well deal with fleets of players in the distance.
Li Nuo was thinking about whether to help the player fleet contain a few artificial angels, when suddenly, an obscure, dark aura came from the laboratory of the heavy transport ship. (End of chapter)
