Chapter 262: Rose in the Rain
"I'll go, boss, this doesn't seem to be good" Dongdong held the dragon steel baseball bat and was nervously standing beside Su Mo.
The two of them were in the outer square of the Edge Building, which had been surrounded by out-of-control military machinery.
Dense drones hovered over the square, obscuring the night, and the indicator lights flickered one after another, like meteors that would fall down at any time.
The ground area is infested with military robots of the security forces, the virus has invaded their control systems, and the heavy fire weapons bay is fully opened, and the muzzles of the guns are glowing with a terrifying metal chill.
Although the Edge Building has a futuristic fire protection system, it has long been paralyzed by the virus, and only the mercenaries hide behind bunkers with weapons and confront these military machines.
"Rumble." At this moment, with a dull loud noise, the ground began to tremble, as if some behemoth was approaching.
Su Mo saw the giant shadow appearing in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, the Titan is here." ”
In the 152-year history of the Dawn Age, mankind once manufactured many weapons.
The Iron and Blood Coalition's mecha project once flourished, but it eventually ended due to the pilot's tolerance problems.
But this does not mean that the "mecha" itself has withdrawn from the stage of history.
After Project Mecha, the Iron and Blood Consortium learned from its failures and improved them, and later launched a new "Titan Project".
Project Titan aims to create large mechs that can fight on their own without the need for a human pilot and rely on electronic systems.
As early as more than 20 years ago, the Titan program was a complete success, and various models of Titan mechs were purchased by government authorities around the world and became the backbone of armed forces everywhere.
Compared with traditional armored units, these Titan mechs have a more powerful firepower system, excellent defensive performance and flexible body, which can adapt to all complex battlefield environments.
What's more, the Titan mecha does not need a human pilot, it can rely on the built-in electronic system for fully automatic combat, and it can also be remotely controlled by humans like playing games, which minimizes the manpower loss caused by war.
This highly integrated electronic weapon should be the pride of cutting-edge technology.
But when the electronic virus spreads like a tsunami, the more intelligent the device, the more serious the impact.
At this time, a Titan mecha slammed into the outer square of the Edge Building and stopped in front of Su Mo and Dongdong.
Named the "Overlord", the Titan is over 8 meters tall and equipped with Dragonsteel-coated armor and heavy firepower, making it a frontal assault unit on the battlefield designed specifically to absorb enemy fire and destroy fortifications.
Dongdong looked up at the oppressive overlord Titan in front of him, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn, there are five of me who are so tall, how can I fight?!" ”
Sumer: "Five and a half to be exact. ”
Dongdong's eyes darkened with anger: "Boss, you can shut up!" ”
Su Mo noticed something at this time, and put on a battle posture: "Attention, they are going to attack!" ”
The first to rush was a group of mechanical hounds, which are small animal-like robots equipped by the authorities, similar to those of police dogs, good at pounce and bite, and mostly used to control targets by non-lethal means.
"Bang bang bang-" Soon, there was a burst of gunfire from behind the bunker, and the mercenaries on the edge opened fire one after another.
Compared to real police dogs, the advantage of mechanical hounds is that they do not have the slightest fear, do not feel pain, and will complete the instructions given by the controller with absolute precision, even in the face of bullets.
The mechanical hounds are simply too fast, and they are not flesh and blood, and the light metal on their bodies has a certain bulletproof effect, and it often takes several salvos to be paralyzed.
The front group was paralyzed, and the rear group was on top, constantly rushing forward, and in a very short time rushed through the fire coverage area.
As a fringe mercenary struggles to fire, his vision is suddenly covered by a black shadow, and a mechanical hound knocks him to the ground.
The fringe mercenary hurriedly shielded his throat with his arm to prevent the vital point from being bitten, and at the same time drew his dagger and stabbed at it.
However, the mechanical hound did not entangle him too much, and deftly dodged the stabbing blow and continued to charge forward.
Before the Edge Mercenary could get up, another group of mechanical hounds stepped on him and rushed towards the entrance of the Edge Building.
The combat-ready mercenaries are fortified on the perimeter of the edge building, which is full of future civilians who are incapable of fighting, and once they are slaughtered, the consequences are unimaginable.
But there was no heavy fire support, and the light infantry alone could not stop the mechanical hounds, and the front was quickly broken into a sieve.
Seeing this, Su Mo anxiously shouted, "Knock knock, you go and stop the mechanical hound, and the Titan will be handed over to me!" ”
"Good!" Knock Knock rushed to the entrance of the building, pulling several afterimages in the bullet time, and the baseball bat slammed in all directions, quickly knocking out a dozen mechanical hounds.
At this time, Su Mo felt a strong wind coming from the front.
The Overlord Titan attacked, the metal fist as big as a human body, propelled by the jet engine to smash into Su Mo with a thousand powers.
Su Mo wrapped his fist in the bones of the frenzy, and met it from the front with the same full strength.
"Knock !!" The dull sound of crashing echoed all around, and the agitated air currents spread in a loud and tumultuous manner.
Su Mo's Wild Skeleton Blood Code is "Upgraded to a High Level", and its bone hardness has long been inferior to metal, coupled with the strength of the Quadruple Blood Code Body, it even faintly has the upper hand in the attack.
The massive impact caused the Overlord Titan to take a few steps back, and soon launched a second offensive, and the huge metal fist smashed in again.
Su Mo leapt to his feet, dodging the attack as he stepped on the Overlord Titan's metal arm, and rushed along it towards its upper body.
The design structure of the Overlord Titan is similar to that of humans, and the energy core is located in the heart, as long as it is destroyed, the Titan will lose its combat effectiveness.
However, the technology of the Iron and Blood Consortium is not vegetarian.
Although the Titan does not have a driver, its built-in intelligent combat module stores a large amount of data and matches perfect countermeasures.
Even though it is only a machine, it has battlefield judgment that is no less than that of a human.
The Overlord Titan recognized Su Mo's attempt to destroy its energy core, and the torque of his waist immediately began to rotate, and his upper body spun at high speed like a tornado, directly throwing him away.
As soon as Su Mo landed, the overlord Titan attacked with a bang, and the mechanical arm fell from the sky and smashed it, smashing into the ground was a big hole.
Su Mo snorted, and the fight was endless.
Originally, the Dragon Flame Blood Code was very suitable for dealing with the Overlord Titan, this thing was full of metal, and it was very thermally conductive, as long as a mouthful of Dragon Flame sprayed it and continued to burn, it could easily destroy its internal electronic components.
How could it be that there was a lot of public here, so many pairs of eyes, and he didn't want to expose the multiple blood codes in his body.
It's good to be special, but it's not good if everyone knows you're special.
So even if you want to use special abilities, you can only use those that are hidden.
Thinking of this, Su Mo quickly approached the Overlord Titan's lower plate, quietly activated the energy supply core in his body, ejected the Moon Hidden Arm Blade under his wrist, and wrapped the blade body with the Wild Skeleton Bone as a cover, exposing only the most powerful blade.
"Huh—" He slashed around one of the Overlord Titan's legs, a fleeting flash of silver light.
More than half of the mechanical leg was severed without delay, and the incision continued to erupt with dazzling arcs of fault, and its body quickly lost its balance, and it fell to its knees uncontrollably.
As soon as Su Mo wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the vital point, the heavy weapons bay of the Overlord Titan opened, and miniature missiles rained in, mixed with whistling machine gun bullets.
"Boom, boom, boom—" Under the indiscriminate bombardment of guns, Su Mo dodged back and forth, and was forced out of the attack range again.
The square had become potholed, littered with rubble and equipment wreckage, men and machines staring at each other, brains and mechanical systems working simultaneously, looking for flaws that could break each other.
Just as Su Mo was thinking about countermeasures, Chu Nanyi's calm voice came from the communicator.
"Commander, find a way to expose its core, half a second is enough, I'll snipe it."
At the window on the 6th floor of the Edge Building, Chu Nanyi hid in the shadows like a ghost, and his calm gaze looked through the window at his target, the overlord Titan that entangled Su Mo.
Chu Nanyi had one arm in front of him, the other hand resting on it, and the crack in his palm protruded the barrel glowing with metallic cold light, and the "Silver Ring Prosthetic" combat program was fully activated, and he switched to the high-energy laser mode dedicated to hunting large armored units.
The chaotic battlefield provided the perfect cover for Chu Nanyi, and the silver krait waited coldly, waiting for the moment when the enemy showed his flaws.
The Overlord Titan, who had one leg broken but was still able to stand on one leg, continued to fire guns and missiles at Sumer, leaving him with no way to support others.
This time, Su Mo changed his battle strategy, no longer evading the attack of hot weapons, but protecting his body with wild bones and guns, and even approaching the inside with guns.
The Overlord Titan's intelligent combat program made a judgment, believing that Su Mo tried to get close to the energy core that attacked it again, and the upper body began to rotate at high speed again, and the two swinging mechanical arms were full of destructive power like meat grinders.
In the face of this unreasonable defense, Su Mo did not retreat but advanced, and at the same time activated the scorching blood and bullet time, and finally pushed up with a more domineering force.
"Boom !!" The two collided, and Su Mo grabbed the mechanical arm tightly, and his feet sank into the ground and dragged out a long circle of ravines in the struggle.
Under Su Mo's violent obstruction, the overlord Titan's rotation speed became slower and slower.
Getting slower and slower
At the moment when its upper body was facing the edge of the building.
"Huh-" The high-energy laser shot out from the barrel of Chu Nanyi's palm, and the azure light stream instantly tore through the space and penetrated the heart of the Overlord Titan.
Through the orange-red laser melt hole on the surface of the armor, you can see the broken energy core inside, the light is getting weaker and weaker, and it is almost extinguished.
The energy supply was impaired, and the Overlord Titan couldn't stand still, and fell to his knees with a bang, with faulty fires all over his body, like a warrior at the end of his rope.
Chu Nanyi finished the sniper kill, and was just about to transfer the sniper position, when his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted at the communicator: "Regiment commander!" Be careful! It looks like it's going to blow itself up! ”
When Su Mo heard Chu Nanyi's words, he immediately looked up.
The Overlord Titan activated the last emergency energy source, and the huge mechanical hand reached out to the heart.
Titans are high-tech war machines, each with a self-destruct program.
The key to the self-destruct program was supposed to be in the hands of Schenkov, the number one person in the Public Security Service.
But now in this situation, it is very likely that the key has been compromised by a virus.
If the Overlord Titan self-destructs, a radius of 100 meters will turn into a sea of fire.
"Everyone! Get into cover! Su Mo shouted at his companions in the rear, and the mercenaries on the edge quickly retreated behind cover.
Su Mo just wanted to distance himself, but the mechanical arm in front of him suddenly moved, and his big hand slammed into his palm, and the whole person couldn't move.
Chu Nanyi kept firing laser snipers in an attempt to rescue Su Mo, but the location of the emergency energy cache was too tricky to hit at all, so he could only leave a lava hole on the overlord Titan.
Just when Su Mo was massively dividing the wild skeleton and preparing to eat this round of self-explosion impact
A mutation has occurred.
The Overlord Titan reached out to his heart, opened the storage pod there, and pulled something out of it.
It was a bouquet of roses wrapped in oiled paper and blooming proudly.
The overlord Titan's mechanical big hand held the bouquet in his hand, and his movements were very light, as if he was afraid of breaking it, and carefully handed it to Su Mo.
At this time, it is raining, and the water droplets are rolling like pearls on the rose petals, and there are small pink and white bellflowers, each of which is so delicate and intoxicating in the rain.
I thought it was self-destruction that destroyed everything, but in the end it was a tender rose.
This scene made Su Mo completely confused.
He looked up at the giant Titan in the rain.
The holographic screen on the Titan's head lights up with a light path, and emojis like [QwQ] appear.
"Buzz." With the hum of running out of energy, the little expression disappeared, and the titan was completely paralyzed and didn't move anymore, only the bouquet of roses was quietly placed in front of Su Mo.
Just as Su Mo was staring blankly at the bouquet of roses, there was a sudden sound of glass breaking behind him, accompanied by the exclamations of the mercenaries.
The attack of the mechanical hound is too fierce, and it is an all-round attack, any door and window can be jumped at will, and it can't be stopped at all.
Even if it is Dongdong, at most it can only guard the gate, and the rest of the place is really lacking.
At this moment, a large mechanical hound jumped out of the window, biting a researcher in a white pendant.
Although it was far away, Su Mo still recognized it from the details of his appearance, it was Luo Mingsheng.
The rest of the mechanical hounds that rushed into the edge also ran out, broke through with the one that bit Luo Mingsheng, and finally disappeared at the end of the street.
After Luo Mingsheng was taken away, other military intelligence weapons around him also moved.
The battle robots blocking the ground turned around and drove away, and the drone swarm in the sky scattered in all directions, revealing the black sky again.
Dong Dong wiped a handful of water on his face, cursed two sentences secretly, and asked quickly, "Are everyone okay?!" ”
The marginal mercenaries counted according to their respective combat groups, and found that everyone was fine, not to mention the dead, not even a few were injured, and the most seriously injured was only a paw scratched by a mechanical hound on the arm.
Su Mo stood next to the silent Titan, staring blankly at the bouquet in front of him, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The rain in the night sky fell on the streets, the street lamps shed golden light through the rain curtain, and the roses bathed in the rain alone, and the water droplets slid down the petals like tears in the rain.
At this time, Su Mo suddenly found that there was a small handwritten card in the bouquet.
He gently took out the small card, and the handwriting on it was so familiar, and he wrote a line of words gently.
[Goodbye, my love]
