Chapter 5: Sentinel Robots
Early morning, outskirts.
The silence of the suburb was shattered by the sudden sound of explosions, and the raging flames and smoke rose in the courtyard of a two-story villa, and the bursting metal shrapnel splattered everywhere, sending out a scream that pierced the air, and looked extremely terrifying.
It is a 100 Paradise Coins Alert Mine, which can be triggered automatically upon detecting an enemy invasion, and relies on a violent explosion and subsequent shrapnel scattering to carry out a covering attack, which can cause devastating damage within 50 meters of the surrounding area.
If the target is the human body, then the power of this mine is absolutely devastating, but in the face of high-density steel, it is somewhat weak.
Dense scattering shrapnel struck the stout mechanical calves, but it was useless except for a few sparks and a few scratches.
Moving his gaze up to the mechanical calf at the center of the explosion, he saw that the target of the mine explosion was not a human, but a black robot about three meters long, whose exaggerated weight caused the ground to tremble slightly with every step it took.
Although the mine that suddenly exploded under his feet seemed to be mighty, for a robot of this size, it only paused slightly, and continued to move forward without care.
After the first popping sound, several more of the same mine explosions came from all directions, and there was far more than one robot that came to surround the two-story villa.
In the other two directions, there are also two robots with the same form that are constantly approaching, pressing on the two-storey villa in the center of the encirclement.
Outside the encirclement, more than a dozen armed men armed with guns were staring closely at the sentry robots slowly advancing in the light of the successive explosions, their faces full of joy.
Fortunately, the main force of this attack is the sentry robot, otherwise it is estimated that only a dozen of them will need to explode in the vicinity of a warning mine, and most of them will be directly killed or injured.
As an armed force that often deals with mutant criminals, they have a lot of experience dealing with all kinds of mutants, but this is the first time they have encountered this kind of guy who will frantically place a mine matrix outside of their place of residence.
In less than two minutes, the number of mines detonated was no less than double digits, and this kind of large-scale mine density, if there were no robots in front of the road to clear mines, if they dared to approach rashly, they would be blown to the ground full of minced meat.
"Captain, it's time to shout."
The reminder of his teammates sounded in his ears, and the captain of the squad at the front of everyone moved slightly, moistening his somewhat dry throat, and then picked up the car loudspeaker on the side and said loudly.
"Mutants, you are suspected of massacring a large number of federal citizens, burning public property, endangering social security and many other crimes, immediately give up resistance and surrender!"
"You are limited to leave the villa with your head in your hands within thirty seconds, or we will deal a devastating blow to the villa!"
“30、29、28……”
Mutants are a precious resource, especially mutants with strong combat power, unlike the pure disgust and fear of the people at the bottom, the upper class of society can be described as loving and fearing these mutants.
Fearing that they can easily rebel against the power of the class order, but they are full of thirst for this power, and if they can be captured alive, then this part of the mutants can play a great role in both dissecting and research, and for controlling transformation.
Therefore, in the face of those mutant criminals who do not have the protection of large forces, most of the armed teams responsible for dealing with them will use the method of forcing them to be captured alive, and they are happy to give the other party a chance to surrender, after all, a living mutant is far more valuable than a dead corpse.
But for the extremely dangerous and stubborn guys, they don't mind only bringing back each other's corpses, and the mutant who is still hiding in the villa at the moment is undoubtedly in the category of dangerous and stubborn resistance.
The sound of mine explosions in the courtyard has stopped, and the three sentry robots have stopped less than a few meters from the villa, and the three pairs of scarlet electronic eyes are lowered, staring coldly at the double-storey villa in the encirclement, accompanied by the unhurried countdown around them, an indescribable stagnant atmosphere is slowly pressing.
In the living room of the villa, Xu Yue looked at the visible eye suspended in front of him with interest, and did not care about the countdown sound that clearly echoed around him.
[Comparing the intelligence attributes of the two sides..., the comparison is completed, our intelligence is 3.69 times that of the enemy's intelligence, and 100% of the enemy's information is obtained]
The details are as follows:
Name: Hunter Sentinel
Category: Mechanical construction
Armor: 88%
Energy value: 600/600
Strength: 40
Dexterity: 32
Stamina: 36
Intelligence: 13
Charm: 5
Skill 1: Advanced Machinery (Passive LV.25): This mechanical structure contains genes, energy, structure, machinery and other high-tech crystals, strength +10, physical strength +8, armor value +500, immunity to all mental and soul damage.
Skill 2: X Gene Detection (Passive LV.23): Sentinels have an extremely sensitive detection program for X genes, which can automatically identify and lock individuals with dominant X genes within 300 meters.
Skill 3: Information Network (Passive LV.24): All sentry robots share the same information network, and the tacit cooperation when fighting together will be greatly improved, and the combat experience and variant information uploaded to the information center by a single individual will be synchronized with each sentry robot.
Skill 4: Jet Flight (Active LV.23): Each part of the body of the sentry robot contains multiple energy jets, which can achieve volley flight by continuously consuming energy values, and freely control the flight direction with the air.
Skill 5: Fire Armament (Passive LV.25): Sentinel Carrier Gatling Minigun, 40mm Grenade Launcher, Rocket Launcher, Optical Instrument and other fire armament systems.
Skill 6: Energy Absorption (Passive LV.24): Sentinel's unique mechanical armor can absorb various elemental, spiritual, impact and other types of extraordinary energy, and convert it into built-in energy, +20% resistance to such extraordinary energy, and 60% reduction in magnetic manipulation.
…………
Retracting the Manifestation Eye in front of him, a trace of solemnity flashed in Xu Yue's eyes, these three sentinel robots did not pose a high threat to him, but their abilities were somewhat unexpected.
In particular, the energy absorption of skill 6 already has some of the characteristics of the Sentinel of the Destruction of the World, and the reason why the Sentinel Frenzy swept the world more than twenty years later, in addition to its huge numerical advantage, the most important feature is that the Sentinel can absorb the energy of all mutants and fully simulate it.
In other words, with the help of its ability to absorb simulation, each Sentinel can turn into a powerful mutant with multiple composite abilities, and the overwhelming number of them, combined with strong and all-powerful individual force, makes the Sentinel quickly become a real mechanical disaster, which also makes mutants, and even the entire human civilization powerless to resist.
It is only in this desperate situation that the mutant camp will use the almost gambling method of restarting the timeline to save the fate of extinction, but this method is just a drink to quench thirst, and the group of speedsters next door have proved a truth with many sad attempts.
Those who fool time will also be fooled by time.
So in the new timeline, the mutant finally ushered in the "Wolverine 3: Mortal Fight" that he experienced during the hunting trial, which is an even more bleak ending.
Thinking quickly from the memories, Xu Yue raised his eyes to look at the tall sentry outside the window, his eyes narrowed slightly, the sentry robot he was facing now was by no means the most advanced model of Trask's industry.
If all the backward versions that have entered the market have reached this level, then the Sentinel's research and development progress will definitely be faster than he thought, and with the various contractors active in the current world, perhaps he will need to readjust the weight of Trask Industries in his future plans.
Otherwise, if the industry is inadvertently set off in advance of the Sentinel Disaster, then the direction of the world's mission this time will be unpredictable.
………
Outside, the countdown of the team leader gradually came to an end, and the tense atmosphere that permeated the surroundings became more and more solemn.
“…… III.II. ”
"Whew!"
Before the last number fell, a faint sound of breaking the air had already sounded first, and then a beam of golden light suddenly burst out of the villa.
"Attack...... Rumble!! ”
The team leader's pupils shrank suddenly, although he didn't know what this golden light was, but the rich aura of death had instantly filled his heart, and his lips opened quickly, but he only had time to spit out the word 'attack', and the golden light arrived at the center of the armed team at a terrifying speed beyond the limit of his vision.
Then there was the roar of the mine explosion far beyond the previous one, and the sea of golden-red flames suddenly exploded in the crowd, directly engulfing all the seven armed team members, including the captain, and several rapid screams sounded from the sea of fire, and then there was no sound.
In an instant, half of the armed team was killed, and this ending made the remaining few armed members who survived due to the long distance suddenly fall into a state of panic, this level of mutants is simply not something they can deal with.
Without the slightest hesitation, everyone turned around and ran, but as soon as they turned around, several beams of golden light flashed behind them, burning them one by one into several charred corpses.
On the periphery of the villa, the three sentinel robots did not care about the slaughter in the rear, and the system of the hunting sentinels did not contain instructions to protect humans, they were only born to kill, and the moment the golden light burst out of the villa, the unlimited counterattack command also began to activate.
The mechanical clatter sounded one after another, and the mechanical armor on the sentry's body began to unfold layer by layer, and soon several grenade launches and multi-barreled retortor machine guns protruded from the sentry's body, and they opened fire directly without the slightest hesitation.
The roar of the revolver, accompanied by the roar of the grenade fire, instantly enveloped the entire field, and the next moment, the continuous roar of the grenade explosion drowned out all the noise in the field.
A large area of fireworks rose into the sky with smoke and dust, and under the fire of the three sentinels, the double-storey villa in the encirclement seemed so vulnerable that it was completely torn apart and collapsed in less than ten seconds.
The huge amount of smoke that rose soon enveloped all the wreckage of the villa, but the fire coverage of the sentries did not stop there, but became more ferocious, and dozens of nearly 100 rounds of ammunition per second were thrown into the smoke like no money, tearing the smoke to pieces in an instant.
Under the sentinel's optical detection, the target's vital signs have not disappeared, and since the enemy is not dead, it must continue to bombard until it is completely destroyed.
It was a new wave of grenade salvos, and in the surging sea of fire that the shells exploded, a silver shadow rose from the center of the sea of fire, and after rising into the air, the silver shadow suddenly stopped and continued to rise, and the exaggerated metal wings behind it spread out, revealing Xu Yue who was holding a Xiaoyun longbow inside.
Below, sensing the position of the target rose to a high altitude, the sentries on the right arm that had been completely transformed into a revolver machine gun also raised the muzzle, and the dense metal frenzy quickly approached the target again under this action, but the muzzle of the gun was just raised for an inch, and three golden lights had quietly arrived from above.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Three explosions rang out almost simultaneously, and the light arrow exploded instantly when it touched the sentry's right arm, and although it did not completely blow up the entire arm, only the mutilated half-truncated arm was left hanging on the side, and the canine teeth were staggered at the section, and the broken exposed lines and the arcs that popped up from time to time all indicated the fact that the sentry's right arm was useless.
The main long-range means were destroyed, and the sentries still did not give up the intention of annihilating the target, a long black knife ejected from the left arm, the energy jet behind it lit up with a faint light, and the three knife-wielding sentinels took off synchronously, and surrounded the target overhead from three different directions.
"It's kind of interesting."
In the sky above, the corners of Xu Yue's mouth opened a white arc, the longbow in his hand quietly transformed into a Fang Tian painting halberd, and the metal wings behind him struggled, he turned around and took the initiative to rush towards the three robots under him.
Zheng~
This is the pleasant sound of the long knife roaring, but behind it is hidden the killing intention, the two sides who are hedging up and down, the distance between them begins to close rapidly, the roar of the hurricane is around, and the rich smell of gunpowder smoke pours into his nose, but instead of feeling pungent, he is more and more excited.
When the distance between the two sides finally approached to less than a few meters, the fine sting pain caused by the beast's intuition was the first to spread throughout his body, and the cold light of the three long blades pierced into his eyes, sealing all the space he had dodged from all directions.
The blade was close to him, Xu Yue's eyes flashed with golden red flames, and the right hand holding the tail of the halberd suddenly tightened, and the brilliant golden red fire patterns instantly spread from his arm to the whole body of the long halberd, and then swung around his body with all his might.
"Boom !!"
There is no skill, only the purest catharsis of violence, but the effect is shocking enough.
As if a muffled thunder bloomed on a sunny day, the domineering roar was mixed with a crisp sound of metal shattering, and a brilliant and grand golden red fire wheel in mid-air was violently pulled out by the halberd, and the edge of the fire wheel was countless fragments of long knives reflecting bright light.
With just one halberd, he smashed the three metal knives of the sentinels at the same time with the most intuitive force.
The obstacle in front of him was swept away, Xu Yue did not stop at all, raised the halberd in his hand forward, and with the tip of the halberd as a spear, he turned into a flaming spear and pierced a sentry robot under him.
The two sides staggered in mid-air, the flames rose on the way, the parts scattered, Xu Yue's black combat boots fell to the ground, he looked back, only to see that a huge cavity had appeared between the sentry robot directly above from beginning to end, and the remnants of the body were also full of cracks, as if they were about to disintegrate into countless parts.
"Boom!"
An indifferent explosion spat out from Xu Yue's mouth, and in the next second, the boiling fire gradually spread to half of the sky, and the sentry that had been drilled through by him exploded violently, and every metal fragment seemed to have turned into a solid explosive, and the roar was endless.
Even the other two Sentinel Robots, whose arms were destroyed, lost their flight power and fell straight from mid-air under the impact of the chain of explosions.
Glancing at the black shadow falling from above, Xu Yue stretched out his hand and made a move, and more than a dozen charred corpses not far away immediately set themselves on fire, igniting a surging purple flame that rose all over the place, and under his manipulation, they rushed towards the two sentries that fell.
A moment later, two broken metal skeletons fell to the ground and were smashed to pieces, while a large cloud of bubbling silver molten liquid appeared in front of Xu Yue.
Under the double restraint of the fire and the 'breaking through the mountains', these metal robots are fragile in his hands, and can be kneaded and flattened at will.
His gaze swept over the chaotic battlefield around him, and he simply didn't bother to change the location, just sat on the ground in the same place, while manipulating the silver molten liquid in front of him to condense into diamond-shaped metal bodies the size of a skull, while waiting for the arrival of the X-Men plane.
After a long time, a roar gradually sounded from far and near in the sky.
