Chapter 146: Strange Beast-Shaped Mecha

The guerrillas looked at this long stretch of yellow sand and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Now the amount of oxygen left in everyone's life support system is less than seven hours. This means that after more than six hours, they will begin to feel suffocated and eventually die here slowly and painfully.

No one wanted to face death in this way, so five mechs scattered and searched within a kilometer in diameter. But the results of the search were frustrating, and they still couldn't find any clues about the secret base.

The crowd couldn't help but start panicking!

They had no idea that after finally arriving in Doha, it would be such a result!

And now it's impossible to go back! It would take at least fifteen or sixteen hours to get back to Auckrantis from here, and it would be impossible for them to make it back to where they had set out alive.

Many people began to despair, and some even began to cry! After escaping the Imperial Army, they all had hope of survival. I just didn't expect that this hope would be ruthlessly shattered so soon!

Tom and Bai Jie in the No. 2 testing machine were also dumbfounded, they never expected such a situation to happen now. Just now, Tom was piloting the mecha and had almost searched the surrounding area, but he really didn't find any shadow of the guerrilla secret base! Could it be that this was a serious intelligence blunder?

Just as Tom was staring blankly at the cockpit of the mech, a tawny thing suddenly emerged from the sand not far away, arching the sand towards the five mechs.

Most of the thing's body was hidden under the sand, with only a portion of its back exposed. Moreover, this thing moved very fast under the sand, and in the blink of an eye, it crawled in front of the five mechs.

"Alert!" Tom yelled, manipulating the energy cannon on his mechanical arm to aim at the thing.

The other three Echo electronic mechs and the Glory mech piloted by Emma were also startled, and they all raised their energy cannons and prepared to shoot.

The crowd was also terrified, and they hid behind the five mechs, not even daring to take a closer look at the thing.

Tom looked at the mech radar on Test Plane 2 and realized that it was not a living thing, but a mechanical product. Because on the radar detection scanner, its energy radiation signal can be seen. But Tom wondered why the thing just crawled over and didn't attack them.

Just as everyone was wondering, the tawny thing suddenly emerged from the sand and crawled completely to the ground.

Only then did people see that this was a beast-shaped mecha that mimicked the form of an insect. The guy is about three meters long and has six mechanical legs and a pair of front paws. However, unlike ordinary mechas, it does not walk upright, but crawls forward, just like the insects you usually see!

The guerrillas had encountered the Vilia Imperial Army's scorpion mecha on the grassland before, which was also a beast-shaped mecha, but although it had four mechanical legs, it also walked upright, essentially no different from ordinary military combat mechas, but in some special terrains, the scorpion mecha had stronger cross-country ability. It must be said that the melee combat method of the scorpion mech is different from that of ordinary humanoid mechs, they no longer use the alloy ion light knife to attack the opponent, but rely on a pair of alloy ion light blades mounted on the front paws. This unconventional design often makes it difficult for opponents to adapt in melee combat, so in addition to the thick skin and strong firepower, the scorpion mecha is also very strong in melee combat! Under normal circumstances, when the conditions are almost equal, two guerrilla glory mechs can only be tied with one scorpion mecha!

But the beast-shaped mecha in front of him obviously does not have the ability to fight in close combat. Because one of its front paws is not an offensive weapon like an ion blade at all, but two large drills. This kind of drill bit can be seen at a glance, it is used to drill holes in the ground.

Looking at the strange beast-shaped mecha in front of them, the guerrillas were stunned, not knowing what to do.

Tom had not been in the Gloria guerrillas for a long time, but he had never seen such a mecha, not even heard of it.

Just when everyone was at a loss for what to do with the strange beast-shaped mecha, the mecha suddenly opened the cockpit canopy by itself, and then a small figure jumped out of it.

Why do you say it's a villain? Because the height of that person is less than 1.5 meters, although he is also wearing a protective suit and a helmet, he looks indescribably weird.

The little man was unarmed, and he slowly walked up to the five mechs with his hands raised and made a gesture.

The partisans will recognize that gesture! This is the code word of the guerrillas, which means to request to be connected!

In this kind of no-man's land that is completely unprotected by the energy defense cover of the interstellar city, it is impossible to have such a thing as a wireless signal transceiver transfer station! And without a wireless signal transmission and reception system, whether it is a mecha or a land-based fighter, including the mobile phone that people usually use, including any other wireless signal equipment can not be used normally.

Of course, the mecha and the mecha can rely on the team channel of the communicator to communicate with each other, but the distance of this team channel cannot be too far, and the signal will be weakened if it exceeds three kilometers, and the signal will not be received at all if it exceeds five kilometers. At that point, even if the mecha is equipped with a wireless communicator, the most advanced mech will become deaf and mute without the assistance of satellite coverage.

This is the case with Tom's five mechs now, after stepping out of the protection range of the interstellar city energy defense shield system in Oakland City, the wireless signals on their five mechs are blocked by the powerful electromagnetic field of the city's energy defense cover. And now the satellites in the synchronous orbit of the outer space of the Barcelona satellite have long been taken over by the Imperial Army, and it is impossible for them to be covered by satellite signals. As a result, their mechs are now unable to receive any wireless messages other than the signal from the team's channel. Even the radar on the mecha, because there is no wireless signal assistance, the scanning and detection distance has been shortened from the normal two kilometers to several hundred meters, and it depends on the weather conditions in the no-man's land. If the wind blows the most in a no-man's land, the mecha's radar detection range is not even 100 meters!

Now the beast-shaped mecha in front of him obviously knew that Tom and they couldn't receive the wireless signal normally, so they drove over directly, and the driver inside also jumped out and gestured, hoping to contact them.

"It's our people!"

The first to come back to his senses was the platoon commander of the electronic mecha platoon, this guy is an expert in communications. When he saw the gesture of the beast-shaped mecha pilot, he immediately remembered that it was the sign language of the guerrillas.

The people in the team finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the crowd cheered and ran towards the beast-shaped mecha pilot in unison.
