Volume 10 Bugs Chapter 88: The Woman Who Whipped the Corpse
When we were approaching the gate of the base, we were fiercely blocked and trapped behind a low wall. Changgong Sheri found an opportunity to revive Red Wolf. Our dark elf assassin did not choose to jump up and fight again at the location of his original body, but welcomed his life again behind a big tree not far from us.
Although our assault was temporarily blocked, I was not very worried. Behind us, Miss Feiyin's brutal "Hydra" high-speed impact gun was spewing extremely furious flames. From the trajectory of the light bullet, we could easily see that she was moving towards us; and beside her, the roar of the Demon Hell War Soul never stopped, and at the same time, there were clanging explosions in the air from time to time. The low and soul-shaking sound obviously came from the "magnetic rail double-action long-range sniper rifle" of the half-orc warlock Ding Ding Xiaoge. Once the two of them meet us with two powerful heavy weapons, I believe that this seemingly solid line of defense in front of us will no longer be able to block our way.
Even if they cannot arrive in time, we also have the ability to attack this line of defense: if Longbow Shooting Sun's magnetic energy cannon is fully charged, and Red Wolf's stealth skill can be used again, with good coordination, although it will be difficult for us to completely smash this line of defense, it is entirely possible to create a breakthrough and allow us to get closer to the gate of this base.
What worries me at this moment is the situation on another battlefield: I wonder if Xian Ge Ya Yi and Chang San Jiao can hold back the enemy's reinforcements? If so, how long can they hold out?
I looked carefully at the longbow shooter beside me and found that he was anxiously waiting for his weapon to charge and didn't notice my actions at all. So, I pretended to observe the enemy's position and tilted my head to the other side of the low wall.
Then, I used a little trick.
You are all familiar with this little trick. Old Carlson has used it countless times in "his" Gravel Fortress. It is to open a window out of thin air and use it to show what is happening in any corner of the entire copy area.
I have entered the source world before and carefully surveyed the composition rules of this world seven thousand years later. Fortunately, although the scenery, technology, people and their lifestyles in this world have changed greatly after a long period of time, the rules that make up this world have not changed much - as long as I use them properly, I can still use some of the abilities of the source world here carefully, which is great news for me.
After long-term training, I have been able to open this long-distance observation window very small and bring it close to my eyes so that I can see clearly enough. At the same time, I can ensure that my friends who are involved in space will never discover my little trick. To them, this small observation window is completely transparent. In their eyes, I should just be staring blankly.
The observation window expanded, and I controlled its field of vision, flying over the abandoned city, over the secret command post, over the airspace where a fierce battle had once taken place, over a jungle and a river, and finally, in a hidden canyon, I saw the two sides in a fierce battle.
The roles of both sides in the siege we are currently carrying out have been completely reversed. The ones launching the attack one after another are the puppets made of steel, while those defending are the warriors who are protecting the fate of the intelligent creatures on the Falvi continent and my friends who are space travelers from seven thousand years ago.
Like us, the adventurers who participated in this blocking battle also chose their own suitable guns. The elf archer Xian Ge Yayi chose a short gun. Whenever he fired, those deadly light bullets were not one by one, but swept towards the enemy in pieces. It seemed that the range of this gun was not very long - it might even be shorter than the two pistols of Red Wolf - and the shooting accuracy was not very high, but its power was amazing, especially when facing a group of swarming enemies. One shot could often kill two or three unlucky puppets, and the five or six around them would also be affected by this weapon, losing a lot of durability.
…
I counted and found that this gun needs a long charging time for every six shots. When facing the overwhelming enemies, such a long charging time is a fatal weakness. But this is not a problem for Xiange Yayi: every time the six rounds of ammunition are used up, he will skillfully throw the pistol behind his back, pick up his bow and arrow, and shoot the sharp feather arrows at the puppets. At this level, the arrows carried by archers are almost all magic arrows with ice, fire or electric magic. According to my observation, the resistance of these metal puppets after 7,000 years to these magics is much lower than those of light bullet guns. If it were not for the limited number of arrows carried and the fear of wasting them, I believe Xiange Yayi would be much stronger on this battlefield than he is now.
Nocturne in B-flat minor chose a high-speed impact gun similar to Feiyin's, but the weapon he chose was undoubtedly larger and heavier. I think to some extent, this weapon can no longer be described as "pieces", but should be measured in "doors". This huge burst weapon has a wheel underneath, and the user needs to push it hard when it moves, and it can only be placed on an open bracket when it shoots. The huge size also increases its energy capacity. It is also an energy magazine, but the magazine of this weapon is several times larger than Feiyin's, and it can obviously be used for a much longer time.
The dwarf bard pushed the weapon onto a high slope and rained bullets down on the enemy from above. While shooting, he also passionately chanted the "Agile War Song" loudly, increasing the chances of the defending soldiers and comrades avoiding the enemy's attacks:
"... Amen, there is a grape vine in front of me, it is so tender and green and has just sprouted. A snail is carrying its heavy shell and climbing up step by step..."
Can anyone tell me why a battle song like this can increase the agility of comrades...
…
Yan Zhen was lying next to Nocturne in B-flat minor. She also chose a powerful long-range sniper rifle. Almost every shot could break the torso of a puppet. In my opinion, the optical long-range aiming system on this gun is really unnecessary. Looking at the enemies coming in like a tide, I think even if you don't aim, just shoot a bullet in the general direction and you won't miss. In fact, I think Yan Zhen did exactly that. The roar of her big gun was much more frequent than that of Ding Ding Xiao Ge, which didn't seem like the result of precise aiming at all.
In addition to long-range sniping, the most important task of the Wild Goose Formation is to protect the safety of the dwarf bard. In this case, the heavy impact rifle of Nocturne in B-flat minor can be regarded as the unquestionable main force in the defensive lineup, but because he is difficult to move, he has become a living target in the eyes of the enemy. The long-range snipers in the enemy camp aimed at Nocturne and beat him so hard that he could not raise his head. At this time, it is necessary to rely on the sniper rifle of the Wild Goose Formation to eliminate these potential dangers, and release her healing war pet rabbit to restore the vitality of the comrades beside her. When the enemy approaches and her long-range sniper rifle is difficult to be effective, our elf tamer will not hesitate to take out the huge fire gun "Sera? Jiong" that has been with her for many years and has been modified and upgraded many times, and use her more familiar weapons and more familiar methods to repel the enemy.
The Yangtze River Delta did not choose the close-range sneak attack fighting method like the Red Wolf. In fact, this method is only suitable for secret raids like ours, and is completely useless in this large-scale positional warfare: you may be able to sneak up behind an enemy and launch a surprise attack on him, but the mechanical puppets around him will definitely ruthlessly beat you into a net in the first place - besides, this fighting method requires a lot of time waiting for the stealth skill to recover, and the efficiency is very low.
The half-orc shadow thief also chose an assault rifle, but unlike the one in my hand, the weapon he chose was much larger and required two hands to use at the same time. This weapon has two firing holes, the upper one is used to fire ordinary light bullets, which are not very destructive and can only accumulate damage with a very high shooting speed; but the lower firing hole can fire a large ammunition with explosive properties, causing huge range damage to ordinary mechanical puppets.
Unfortunately, this explosive ammunition seems to take a long time to charge, making it difficult to use frequently.
Although the weapon was not very powerful, Chang Sanjiao, as a shadow thief, became an indispensable and powerful supplement in this battle with his agility. He rushed around in the smoke-filled battlefield, always appearing first in the position where reinforcements were needed, and repeatedly repelled the enemy with the roaring gun in his hand. Whenever you see him standing tall and bravely fighting back against the enemy's bullets, it is hard not to have a trace of sincere respect and amazement in your heart:
Such a fat man who is a very conspicuous target has not been shot to death yet. This is simply a huge battlefield miracle!
As for our Tauren Paladin Niu Baiwan, this time he did not charge into battle bravely as usual - well, you have to admit that this guy whose size is inversely proportional to his courage and who has no traditional sense of honor as a Tauren has never charged into battle bravely even in the past - but simply hid in the last line of defense and hid in front of the fortress cannon that symbolized the greatest defensive force of this blocking battle.
Niu Baiwan chose a strange weapon with an unusual shape: it looked similar to Niu Baiwan's obsidian pillar, and was also a thick cylinder. The shooting hole was much thicker than that of ordinary guns, and even compared with the defense cannon next to it, it was not much thinner. Judging from its design layout and the position of the aiming system, I guess it should be carried on the shoulder for aiming and shooting, and can only fire one powerful ammunition at a time, and its charging time must be very long. Judging from the shape, this should be a heavy weapon specially used to deal with large combat machinery. It is really a bit of a waste to deal with those ordinary puppet soldiers with weak armor.
There is indeed a reason to place Niu Baiwan here. First of all, as the only healer in the team who has the ability to revive his teammates, it is necessary to prioritize his safety; and secondly, if I am not mistaken, his weapon may be a powerful weapon that can turn the tide, and it should not be used easily, and should only be used when the situation is on the verge of collapse.
Moreover, Niu Baiwan was not idle here. In fact, his role was even greater than that of appearing at the front line of defense: he did not choose those throwing weapons used for combat, but chose a set of repair equipment, which could bring some slow but continuous repair effects to the damaged front line defense turrets. Whenever a wave of enemy attacks was defeated and the situation on the battlefield tended to ease, he would run between various defense points to repair the damaged defense turrets - although the durability of each restoration was very limited, the damage caused by the repaired turrets accumulated over and over again was probably much greater than the damage caused by an ordinary soldier.
…
Seeing that the battle there was not too difficult and the situation was still under the control of my comrades, I calmed down and was no longer as eager to advance as before. Therefore, when the magnetic energy cannon of Changgong Sheri was fully charged and Red Wolf could use the stealth skill again, I thought about it and decided to wait for a while and make plans after Feiyin and Dingding Xiaoge came over.
They didn't make us wait too long. Soon, they cleared out the remaining enemies behind us and joined us.
I didn't see how they fought, but Feiyin told us the whole battle situation in just one sentence:
"Huh, this gun is so hard to use. I fired so many bullets but didn't kill anyone. Ding Ding Xiao Ge killed them all by himself." Our president has always been brooding over his own performance.
After a brief preparation, we launched the final attack on the base gate.
Changbow Sheri threw a smoke bomb, and soon the white smoke spread, blocking the vision of both sides.
Taking advantage of the cover of smoke, Red Wolf shook his cloak and instantly turned into a shadow, sneaking towards a bunker on the right.
Ding Ding Xiao Ge controlled the Devil Prison Fighting Spirit and walked in front, and Chang Gong Sheri and I followed closely behind. Ding Ding Xiao Ge and Fei Yin set up their weapons behind the low wall and looked ahead vigilantly.
This cloud of artificial smoke dissipated quickly. In less than half a minute, we could see a group of metal puppets aiming their guns at the opposite position. At the same time, they also saw us and raised their guns to shoot at us.
"Charge! Charge! Charge!!!" Changgong Sheri roared three times, and immediately jumped out from behind the Devil Prison War Soul, aiming the magnetic energy cannon in his hand at the bunker closest to us. There should be at least two high-speed impact guns in that bunker, which posed a huge threat to us on our way forward.
An extremely large flash of light quickly rushed towards the bunker. We only heard a loud bang, and then a cloud of thick black smoke suddenly rose into the air from the location of the bunker.
After the smoke cleared, the bunker was reduced to ruins.
The dwarf priest did not rush to find a target for his only remaining ammunition. He just quickly jumped into the bunker that had just been blown into ruins and hid behind a remaining wall.
Behind us, Feiyin's dense gunfire rang out, and a large string of green light bullets leaped out from behind, sweeping back and forth at the front of the enemy's position. Strangely enough, although the "Hydra" was definitely a peerless weapon, and the light bullets it fired were fast, dense and fierce, but under Feiyin's use, not a single puppet could be destroyed, and only a few light bullets hit some unlucky guys - she hit them by accident.
However, although no effective casualties were caused, our president successfully attracted a lot of firepower, making our way forward much smoother.
I didn't rush to abandon the protection of the Hell Soul, but rushed forward quickly behind him. The tall and strong Hell Soul blocked most of the light bullets for me, and the remaining few could not cause fatal damage to me, so I didn't take out my shield, but held the gun in my left hand and held my magic sword in my right hand. When I approached a bunker, I immediately took out an electromagnetic bomb and threw it in through the shooting hole without hesitation, then turned around and suddenly activated the spell attached to my boots: Heroic Flash.
In a flash, I was already in a simple fortification. In front of me were two puppets holding assault rifles. When they noticed me, they turned their guns around and wanted to shoot me.
I had the long sword in my hand and slashed at one of them. The sharp blade immediately tore through its thin armor, a ball of sparks burst out from its wound, and it fell to the ground. A line of bright red words "-2489" flashed above its head - just one strike, and its durability was reduced to a quarter of its original value.
It seems that these metal puppets are not very good at dealing with physical attacks, especially physical attacks mixed with magical attributes.
That's not all. After this attack, I immediately turned around, aimed my gun at another puppet, and pulled the trigger hard. Green light bullets were shot at its head like shuttles, hitting it with sparks. It didn't take too long for its durability to be completely exhausted, and it fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
At this time, I still had time to swing the sword again and stab it hard into the abdomen of the puppet that had just been knocked down, killing him completely.
At this time, I looked up to observe the situation on the battlefield: Red Wolf had successfully reached the largest bunker - if it weren't for the mark of the soul on his head, I would have almost completely lost sight of him - he first blew the inside upside down with an electromagnetic bomb, and then walked in stealthily.
When he walked out of the bunker again, there was no longer a single resisting enemy inside.
Longbow Shooting Sun also found a target for his only remaining shell, and a tall tower that was blocking the gate was blown to pieces.
After destroying this high-altitude shooter, our dwarf priest once again fell into the awkward state of being unable to shoot. He threw a healing wave at me from a distance, then ducked and went into an abandoned bunker.
Finally, Miss Feiyin couldn't hold back any longer and rushed forward with a gun in hand, leaving Ding Ding and Xiao Ge behind to control the situation and eliminate the scattered enemies that were caught.
However, at this time, the remaining enemies who resisted had been basically eliminated by us, and only the last few metal puppets who had lost their cover were desperately rushing towards Feiyin - although I don't think these metal objects necessarily have the emotion of "despair". The flying bullets brushed past her clothes, like flowers blooming around her.
"Don't shoot, leave them all to me!" Just as we were about to fire to support, Feiyin roared and flatly rejected our good intentions. She did not dodge, nor did she even fire back, but just gulped down a bottle of life potion, and then bravely rushed forward under the gunfire. Her reckless behavior scared me. While I was still wondering what she was going to do, she had already rushed to a place less than ten steps away from the group of puppets with less than half a tube of blood left.
Then, the female magician waved her hand, and a lavender magic storm immediately burst out, sweeping the stubbornly resisting puppets in. The extremely cold frost continued to spread along their metal shells until they were frozen into several ice sculptures that could not move at all.
At this time, the cruel demon girl pressed the fierce weapon in her hand against these poor guys, and then pressed the firing button fiercely. Green flashes instantly tore these frozen puppets into pieces and knocked them to the ground. But even so, the president still felt unsatisfied, aiming at their remains lying on the ground and continued to shoot, whipping their bodies again and again, whipping again and again, until not even a complete screw could be seen.
Then, our president stomped hard on the wreckage that had almost been melted into molten iron, and then spat with resentment:
"Pah, I finally got to kill a few of them!"
