Volume 4: Shadows Under the Neon Lights Chapter 202: Almost Total Annihilation
“Bang!!”
When Unit 3 fell heavily, even Ke Lan, who was dozens of meters away, felt the ground shake violently.
However, the scene of blood and flesh exploding that Ke Lan had expected did not appear. In the previous instant, the monster had already climbed onto the back of the "Bloodhound", grabbed the machine gun mounted on the side of the mecha, and pulled the barrel off the base!
Seeing this scene, Ke Lan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief in his heart - fortunately, he was cowardly just now and didn't choose to rush forward with the stone spike... The melee ability of this monster is not only strong, it can be described with the four words that have been used too much in online novels: "terrifying".
Its speed, strength, and reaction ability are almost all top-notch. Even if Ke Lan successfully pierces the stone spike into its body, it can easily tear Ke Lan in half with a backhand swing... The twin-mounted machine guns on the side of the "Bloodhound" are much stronger than human flesh, but in the hands of this monster, they seem to be made of paper.
"The target is on Unit 3. Unit 4 should keep its distance and use high-explosive bombs to carry out indiscriminate attacks!" Ke Lan ordered.
The armor-piercing bullets were replaced to avoid accidentally injuring the driver inside Unit 3, while keeping a distance was to prevent the monster from jumping onto Unit 4.
“Da da da da da—boom boom boom!!”
The firepower of the three double-mounted machine guns immediately enveloped Unit 3 and the biochemical monster, but the monster used Unit 3 as a cover and hung its body on the other side of the mecha, avoiding most of the attacks. Only a few high-explosive bombs hit it directly.
Ke Lan noticed that the part of the monster that was hit by the high-explosive bomb was charred black, and its eyeballs were bursting one after another. Pus mixed with carbonized flesh and blood kept dripping from the wound - "The attack is effective, keep firing, don't stop!"
At this moment, the monster suddenly let out a shrill and piercing scream, and the front ends of its arms suddenly swelled up. The originally skinny palms swelled up like a balloon, and one could vaguely see that they were filled with dark yellow liquid substance.
It raised its swollen palm high, and then slapped down towards the No. 3 mecha below -
Seeing the monster's action, Ke Lan suddenly cried out in his heart that something was wrong, but before he could give the order for the pilot of Unit 3 to abandon the plane and escape, the swollen palm exploded with a "bang", and the dark yellow splashed onto the mecha, corroding countless holes in the outer layer of armor on the surface of the mecha in an instant!
The Nino alloy content of that layer of armor is over 15%, which is already a very high ratio. The armor itself is also in the top ten in terms of corrosion resistance among similar products... But in front of this dark yellow liquid, it is like a thin sheet of iron being doused with aqua regia...
Previously in the Leviathan mine, when the acid spewed out by the anemone heads dissolved the thicker metal armor, it still took some time. But this time, the armor several centimeters thick was corroded in less than half a second... and the holes were still expanding rapidly!
The pilot of Unit 3 had just been screaming, but now there was no sound. The dark yellow liquid fell into the interior of the mecha, piercing the entire mecha vertically, and then dripped to the ground, corroding a large area of densely packed small holes in the hard alloy ground, like a honeycomb embedded in the ground.
"Unit 4, activate the energy shield and don't let it get close!" Ke Lan shouted as he picked up a rifle from the corpse next to him and fired a series of bursts at the monster, while Victoria had not stopped shooting since the beginning.
The bullets landed on the monster's body, and each bullet penetrated the flesh, but what was smashed into pieces was only the body that originally belonged to Arasaka Yui. This body was now like a tattered cotton jacket "worn" on the monster, and the monster's true body had been hidden in this pile of bloody and rotten flesh.
Under Ke Lan's command , Unit 4 once again deployed its energy shield... But at this time, the monster had already used its super high maneuverability to get behind Unit 4.
Limited by the size and energy consumption of the generating device, the "Bloodhound" mecha is equipped with small and medium-sized energy shields, rather than the large energy shields used by battleships that can cover the entire body. It can only block attacks in one direction, and when facing enemies that go around behind it, the energy shield is useless.
Through the observation camera outside the mecha, the pilot of Unit 4 obviously knew that the monster ran behind him. The four mechanical arms of the mecha moved quickly, trying to turn the direction... It must be said that the pilot's operating level was very strong. The entire turning action took only a little more than a second to complete... However, for the enemy he was facing, it was still too slow ...
The monster had already jumped onto the mecha's back, which was a blind spot for the machine gun. Unless the mecha could throw it off its back, there was no way it could be attacked.
"Are there any mechas that can move?" Ke Lan shouted into the garrison's short-range intercom, "Support, come and support quickly!"
…There was no response from the intercom. Ke Lan looked up and saw corpses everywhere in the square. The wreckage of several mechas was constantly emitting black smoke. The only people left alive in this reconnaissance team were probably him, Victoria, and the pilot of Unit 4…
Oh, to correct me, there were only him and Victoria... Just a few seconds ago, the pilot of Unit 4 was also killed by that monster in exactly the same way.
