Chapter 377
377 Sneaking into the city
Dave, it’s up to you now. Give us a set of coordinates.
dave controlled the scavenger mech and paced back and forth at the end of the tunnel, looking for the best ‘landing point’.
After a moment, Dave stopped and looked at the coordinates on the holographic screen. this is the landing point on the south side of the Goria Grand Canal. We can avoid the pillboxes on the northern riverbank.
After confirming the location, the next step was to chisel the stone.
link didn’t summon the tentacle dragon to head out directly. the huge commotion would definitely attract the machinery faith members on both sides of the river.
Link left the last part of the work to the spy Mouse and the silver army ant.
the silver army ants formed a huge silver army. they stuck close to the wall and formed a 10-centimeter-wide staircase that led to the top of the cave and down the other side of the wall, forming a complete semicircle.
Then, the spy rat pulled the ladder made of silver army ants, climbed to the top of the cave, and began to dig.
The spy rats climbed up from the left and came down from the right with the soil, forming a complete cycle.
The silver army ants also entered the hole and continued to build the ladder.
The two of them cooperated well, and soon a large hole appeared above everyone’s heads.
The silver ant queen had never been hungry ever since link had taken over the castle.
Link had never missed three months of continuous production and the monthly burst of soldiers.
So far, link had 150000 silver ants under his command.
This was Link’s first time leading an Army of ants into battle. The silver ants ‘indomitable spirit and ability to work together were fully displayed.
Link waved his hand to gather everyone. “While we’re digging the hole, I’ll tell you guys the plan.”
“The six of you will follow John after we enter the city. Your main task is to escort him to the southeast scientific research area. if you encounter any obstacles along the way, you must think of ways to divert the enemy’s attention and try not to expose yourselves. If you don’t have a choice and have to expose yourself, then try to delay as much time as possible and wait for my support.”
The six of them were ecstatic. If they could follow painter John to complete a mission, they would have a chance to be appreciated by him. No matter what, they would still have some feelings for him after going through such a dangerous mission together. They would definitely be able to get along with him better than ordinary players in the future.
Now, the six players understood that the reward of this B-Rank mission was not the biggest reward.
the real gain was the intersection with the painter john.
As the saying goes, there are four great iron bars in life:
They’d carried guns together, gone through windows together, shared the dirt together, and photoshopped together.
It was even more difficult for nine players to sneak into the floating mech city than three Max-level players from the inferior game in World of Warcraft bringing six newbies to the enemy’s main city to kill the leader! this was an experience that some players would never experience in their entire lives.
As long as they succeeded in this mission, they would be considered ‘acquaintances’ who had shown their faces in front of painter John in the future. Although the accumulated advantages could not be immediately realized, they would ultimately turn into advantages in the game. This was the greatest harvest!
as for me, I’ll go with Dave to the energy area in the northeast to rescue Helen first. If anything happens on your side, I’ll create a commotion here to disperse the pressure.
in addition, I’ll tell you a special communication secret code between the machinery faith. It can save your lives at critical moments.
” if a cyborg soldier makes a chest-beating gesture to you, you have to stand still and say,’robots can not die, long live the head of state’. and if you extend a hand 45 degrees upwards, you have to respond with the same action, and add the sentence ‘pioneers and truth exist forever’! ”
one last point, other than Dave, the rest of us have never been to the city before. There will be a lot of accidents during the infiltration process, so everyone must stay calm. I’m not worried about John and Dave. The main thing is that the six of you have never seen such a scene before, so you must hold on. I’m sure you’ll be able to overcome this as the best of the best.”
The six players, Dave, and John all listened carefully.
He kept saying that he had never been to the machinery Palace, but his greeting and response to the machinery faith were very clear. He was even more familiar with it than Dave, who had personally escaped from the machinery Palace. How did it look like he had never been to the machinery Palace?
By the time link was done with his arrangements, the Army ants and spy rat had successfully dug out a vertical hole that was six feet in diameter. It reached the surface.
The silver army ants all retreated back into the cave, and so did all the spy rats.
several players were shocked by the efficiency of the silver army ant and the spy mouse. they happened to be in front of them, so they began to take screenshots frantically, waiting for the mission to be over and to be posted for publicity.
the 150,000 silver army ants were evenly distributed on the wall of the cave. the lights of the power cars shone on the wall, reflecting a sea of crystal-like light, like the broken diamonds embedded in the most exquisite luxury goods. it looked spectacular.
In front of another fork in the cave, thousands of spy rats with gray and white stripes were lying in front. Further inside were snow-white suicide rats. The number of them sent chills down one’s spine.
If these white-furred rats were ordinary rats, they would look quite cute. However, after knowing that these were all self-destructing rats, the players kept their distance. They were even nervous, afraid that one of them would accidentally explode and cause a chain reaction.
“You guys stay here first. I’ll go up and then lower the rope.”
As link spoke, the multi-purpose combat suit’s hook shot out from his wrist and pulled link to the hole at the top.
then, two balls of fire shot out from link’s power boots, and the powerful lifting force sent him to the ground.
The desert was dark, and the howling of the cold wind could be heard in the distance.
At the end of the month, it was hard to find the moon in the night sky. The sky seemed to be covered with a layer of gray fog. Only a few of the originally bright stars could resist the dark clouds and barely showed their Starlight.
the dark, moonless environment was more suitable for infiltration.
When he was about 30 feet from the bottom of the hole, link fired the hook at the hole again. A moment later, the gears stopped and the hook was successfully nailed to the ground.
John held the maintenance box in one hand and grabbed the hook with the other, successfully rising to the ground.
As soon as John landed on the ground, he immediately changed his temperament.
She was standing right in front of you, but you couldn’t feel her presence.
Even if they walked back and forth in the sand-filled Gobi Desert, they would not hear any sound.
[ midnight spirit ]’s ability was fully displayed.
[ midnight spirit: able to hide its aura at night, and its movements will not produce any sound. Movement speed at night +50%, agility +20%. ]
Looking at John, who was on high alert, link couldn’t help but ask, ” “I really envy your [ Midnight Ghost ] ability. You move like a ghost at night. Now I feel that having six mutants follow you is just adding to your burden.”
“i hold the opposite view from you,” john turned around and smiled. the midnight Spirit’s ability does not make any sound, so it is a little too suspicious. The ability of the Inhumans you chose is similar to the zealots who were chosen to enter the machinery faith. It is more reliable to bring them with you, and they will not arouse suspicion no matter where they go.
Link pulled out the scavenger mech and continued to say to John,””I’m just casually saying this, and you’re already showing off. If you’re exposed later, don’t try to show off and don’t ask me for help. I’m the expert in dealing with this kind of big scene ~”
[midnight spirit] was a specialty and not a skill, so it could not be taught.
Link was only a little envious. His advantage, as he had said, was in large-scale battles.
With apocalypse and the heaven’s son’s insight, the number of enemies was Link’s nourishment. He would become stronger the more powerful he was.
As long as there were enough enemies, link would be able to stack enough Blood Rage. Even if the mechanical pioneer Dr. Zhao came personally, link would still dare to face A.
If it was before, John would have definitely challenged link to a fight after hearing such provocation.
Although John had retired, he still had his pride as the number one assassin. Not everyone could ride on his head.
However, this was related to the recovery of his wife, Masha. Even the number one assassin was extremely cautious.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sneak into the city, and failure was not allowed!
As link pulled the six players up, everyone was on the ground.
The treasure-hunting mouse and the five mice Secret Service Squad also climbed out of the hole.
The desert at midnight was engulfed by darkness, and the temperature was extremely low.
Link couldn’t help but think of when he had first entered the game half a year ago and had escaped with the AFU desert.
At that time, the new moon hung high in the sky, but today, it was covered with dark clouds.
The cold wind was still blowing, but it could no longer stop link.
tonight is the ‘Ascension ceremony’ of the machinery faith. There will be a large number of teams of machine zealots gathered on both sides of the Goria canal, waiting for the selection of the machinery faith. The strong ones will be promoted from zealots to machine warriors, officially joining the machinery city. The whole process is called Ascension.
Dave’s strength and mech are already in place. We still need to get eight sets of equipment for the mechanical zealot. The strength of the equipment doesn’t matter, as long as the individual strength meets the requirements.
As soon as link finished speaking, the treasure-hunting mouse on his shoulder sniffed the air and chirped in Link’s ear. It stretched out its claws and pointed at the distance with five fingers, then pointed at itself.
Link was overjoyed. Someone had come to his door just as he finished speaking.”Speak of the Devil,”
Windchaser Piao Rou immediately stood up and said, ” ” guild leader, leave the killing of the zealot to us. we definitely won’t damage the equipment. ”
Even the usually quiet Zhan lang and Leng Feng were eager to give it a try. They even said something like ‘I will complete the mission’.
Link waved them off. He understood what the players were all about.
Dave’s scavenger mech, whether it was in terms of craftsmanship or technology, was already at the level where it could crush the zealots. At this moment, the radar had already detected the enemy’s position and reported, ” the enemy is approaching quickly. They are 600 meters away from us.
your battle has caused too much of a commotion. It will attract the zealots around. Let me do it.
However, just as link finished speaking, a large hand appeared on his shoulder and stopped him.”it’s better to leave the assassination to the professionals. as the commander, you should be here to arrange things.”
Dave, help me look after the maintenance box.
As soon as he finished speaking, John had already disappeared into the twilight.
This time, it was the players ‘turn to be surprised, and they couldn’t help but whisper, ” So the painter’s main ability is assassination? ”
Since they couldn’t see the painter’s data, they could only piece together the experiences and abilities of the painter John based on the bits and pieces of the conversation.
Now it was Dave’s turn to be surprised, and he couldn’t help but say, ” “What? You don’t even know who the number one assassin on wasteland planet is?”
Weng ~
Except for wind, the other five players “minds were blank.
The number one assassin on wasteland planet!
They never knew that the painter was the strongest assassin on wasteland!
Zhui Feng looked at the five people’s frightened expressions and tried to hold back his laughter.
I’ve already retired, so there’s no need to mention this name again ~”
Just as Dave was talking to the players, another voice sounded in the darkness not far away. John gradually walked out of the darkness, dragging five corpses of the zealots that were entangled together behind him.
Bang! Bang!
John put down the Zealot’s leg, dusted the dust off his hands, and returned to the maintenance box.
From their exclamations to Dave’s response, it only took a short ten seconds.
He did not hear any sounds of battle, not even the whimpers of the enemy’s death.
And Dave just said that the enemy was about 600 meters away from where they were. How did the painter kill the Zealot team silently in just a dozen seconds and then drag five dead bodies back?
Was this the power of the number one assassin on wasteland planet?
the five players were stunned. they gulped and did not recover from the shock.
Link’s mouth twitched. The legendary aura was indeed impressive. It had managed to intimidate the Presidents.
I shouldn’t have given John this chance to show off.
Dave deftly separated the zealots from their exoskeleton armors or equipment. He was so fast that it was almost like a butcher dismembering an ox.
Link threw the five corpses into the hole and destroyed all evidence. He then told everyone to change into their zealot equipment.
john put on the best exoskeleton armor, and the weight-bearing hook could hang the maintenance box behind him.
“Lost mo Wen, Yaoyao Ling, Leng Feng, Tang Jiu, put on these four pieces of zealot equipment,” link instructed from the side.
The four of them were eager to give it a try. After all, the number of times they had the mechanic class VIP experience card could be counted with their fingers.
However, after changing into the corresponding equipment, the three’s excited expressions suddenly froze. This was because the system interface showed that they were not of the corresponding mechanic class and could not enjoy the functions of the equipment.
Only Tang Jiu’s smile reached his ears.
He was originally a mechanic player, and he had chosen the mechanic class.
In Shandu, due to the lack of blueprints and guidance, he could only make some low-level mechanical equipment. After the players started to enter the sand capital, there were finally some zealot equipment, or perhaps even a few sets of chips, on the market. However, with Tang Jiu’s current skills, he was far from being able to create the corresponding mechanical equipment through the chip. The theoretical knowledge contained in it needed to be studied deeply.
but now, the white quality mechanical armor he was wearing was embedded with the core chip of the zealot, and it happened to be an investigation chip. the function of the armor was also inclined to investigation assistance, which was equivalent to obtaining a whole set of equipment.
The infiltration hadn’t even started, and he had already obtained a zealot Scout armor. It was simply a huge profit!
Now, only link, Windchaser, and explosive chicken were not equipped with the Zealot equipment.
They were both Link’s direct subordinates.
One of them was a small leader of the Qilin Hall, and the other was a Druid who had been approved to enter the divine Tree Noxi.
Link looked at the pitch-black Desert and muttered, ” now, we need another squad of zealots to deliver warm buns.
