In such a tight time situation, War Scorpions seem out of place. Their bodies are too huge, and a lot of time is wasted every time they are placed, and their movement speed is relatively poor. But the problem at hand is, if not
If you take it away, the team must rush back again within 3 minutes. Because without the support of Miao Pu's protective barrier, the War Scorpion will be destroyed by the energy tide, even if it is only a part of the energy that is diverted from the side when the energy tide passes.
In fact, the slowest moving ones in the team are not the war scorpions, but the warriors known as the "thousands of gold". They are the main force in digging shelters. If you don't take them to play with you, everyone will be like walking horses.
It was just as exhausting going back and forth.
By the way, Miao Pu did bring a lot of supplies when he came out this time, and his energy reserves were quite abundant. But if he spent all his energy on the road going back and forth, his progress would be greatly affected, and he would have to hold up the energy barrier again and again.
The consumption is also something Miao Pu cannot afford.
A series of problems were entangled together, and for a while no one had any good solutions to solve them.
After some thought, Miao Pu decided not to leave for the time being. Instead of running back and forth in the limited time, he would rather set up camp on the spot.
This time Liu Xiang's eyes were opened. He saw with his own eyes Miao Pu's set of core tools. The mother of tools with [Hunting Weapon] or [Weapon Spirit] as the core component was carried by Miao Pu on his back.
Inside a shell backpack.
Liu Xiang had secretly guessed before that what the thing behind Miao Pu was that ruined his appearance. In short, it couldn't be useless, because it was too ugly, and he looked like a hunchback under the cover of the sand cloak.
It is a series of gadgets that look like building blocks. These gadgets are all regular in shape, including circles, squares, rectangles, triangles... several basic shapes. The more peculiar one is just a regular hexagon.
Each of the prisms in the cross-section is so crystal clear that people can’t bear to touch it. Of course, when you actually hold it in your hands, you will find that there is no fingerprints on this thing at all. They have different colors and materials.
They are all different, some are light and some are heavy, some have a fine texture, and some have a loose texture, but they have one thing in common, that is, they require energy to operate, and they must be activated by Miao Pu himself.
Liu Xiang quickly saw the specific usage of these tools. They were like industrial machines. They processed the required parts one by one and then formed each piece of equipment. The materials used turned out to be the sand and stones dug out of the cave.
Of course, there are still some additives and excipients. There are more than a dozen of them. Miao Pu seems to be able to carry only a small amount. The total amount can be put into a standard suitcase, but the specific amount is less.
With these equipment in hand, [Wolf Fang Team] has completely turned into a monster that only eats but does not pull. The mud, sand and stones that are constantly dug out in the front are all digested and processed in the back.
Liu Xiang secretly calculated that even the compression processing should not reach this level. Obviously, part of it was decomposed into energy during processing. He also found that Li Xuesong and the others were very skilled in this kind of work, so why didn't they use it at all?
The discussion was quick and tacit. And because he had the convenience of a mental network, he was able to do it in a decent way. At least he avoided the embarrassment of standing aside and watching the fun.
Four hours later, from scratch to something, the basic engineering of a base was completed.
Liu Xiang looked at everything in the base and sighed more and more in his heart: "If such technology and tools are used outside, it will definitely break his head. To be honest, he is not jealous or envious of Miao Pu at all now.
Instead, he wanted to stay far away, preferably without any connection. Because in his eyes, Miao Pu had become a whirlpool that could swallow up countless lives and destroy countless families. Anyone who had anything to do with him would inevitably be affected.
Being regarded by others as a tool to contact him or achieve various related purposes. Power and wealth, when these two operate without any limit, the power they can release is extremely terrifying and can make the whole world crazy.
And this madness can crush and twist almost anything.”
After planting a new Heart of Thorns, Li Xuesong and others are still completing the detailed work, such as bed utensils and so on. These have standard models and are easy to install. They don't even need Li Xuesong to do it themselves. They can just supervise the puppets and get things done.
It's fast and good. But after all, it still takes time, and it really has to meet the permanent standard. It won't be possible without a total investment of 2 hours.
However, we don’t want to make it so comfortable here, and we don’t have the time and energy because the derivative monsters have already arrived.
Not long after a wave of energy tide passed, the air was still filled with the burning and hot smell unique to thunder and lightning. Even when you lightly traced the wall of the tunnel with your fingers, you could even lift up a red-hot smell.
The spark lines that appear when a flint scratches on a hard and rough cement road. This is the result of energy tides that have not been completely diluted by the erosion and assimilation of the wall, and there is still a large amount of electrical energy left in the wall.
Naturally, guests should be greeted when they come to the door. Miao Pu walked out and chatted with everyone in the spiritual network in a relaxed tone. Li Xuesong and the others followed him closely. The passage was not illuminated, and the light source was behind them.
The advancing figure was blocked from time to time, and the intermittent swaying made the elongated and twisted figure look like a group of demons coming out of a cave.
After more than 15 adjustments of various sizes, the plant monsters have completely separated from their original life forms. Especially when Miao Pu started to compile the thinking model, the first thing he understood deeply was the thinking mode of the plant monsters, so the recent
With one adjustment, the magnitude of the change and the huge performance improvement can be said to be the greatest ever.
For the first time, these living exoskeleton armors have truly defined their mission and interacted with their operators. This change is terrifying, just like a person wearing a suit of iron armor and Iron Man.
The difference is the same.
Now, each of Li Xuesong's eyes emits a different light. These lights belong to the plant monsters, but they also reflect the controller's heart to a certain extent. Such performance means that they finally have their own characteristics.
It is no longer a standard batch product.
Of course, the one who benefited the most was Miao Pu. The development of the plant-mounted monster has allowed him to master a very practical exoskeleton armor manufacturing technology.
Originally, this technology was limited to plant-based materials and had the constraints of nest production. But no longer. It can completely build a set of thinking models like a puppet and engrave it into [memory crystals], thus becoming an AI with a semi-open thinking circuit.
Armor. The solution to this core problem has given him a broader prospect for material selection. Crystals, metals, colloid energy... are all available, but Miao Pu's favorite is composite materials.
Composite materials can make more detailed adjustments to the material properties to make them suitable for various needs. In addition, composite materials also allow him to add some simple but practical functions, such as functions similar to chlorophyll, which can be replenished by exposure to the sun every day.
Energy. Composite materials also have the advantage of being frugal and left to their own devices. There are high-end matching methods for high-end materials, and low-end materials for low-end materials. After conducting various experiments, [Qi Ling] already has a lot of material formulas on hand.
In this way, there are abundant choices for the core, skeleton, and materials. The nest will only be responsible for the meridian-like bloodline system. The reason why the nest is chosen to manufacture this system is that the cost is low and the natural coordination will be better.
Generally speaking, the plant monsters in the future will still be born from cocoons, but the nine types of dragons will be different. They will form a huge system, and this system will be applicable to almost everyone.
When [Spike Team] was dispatched to fight, the battle group of spawned monsters was marching at high speed in the subway tunnel. It was said to be high speed, but in fact it was just that, because how much water a bucket can hold depends on the shortest piece that makes up the bucket.
On the board, the relatively slow-moving part of the team will drag down the overall speed.
But this time, the ape-man is no longer the slowest. The team of derived monsters includes the rhinoceros-man, which is bigger and more heavily armored than the ape-man. This monster with a rhinoceros shape from the neck up has the same tonnage and weight as [Wolf Fang]
Some of the "Thousands of Gold" warriors in the squad are even more powerful than others. Their weapons are gold and stone pillars, and the cross-section pattern of the stone pillars is denser and more brilliant than the cross-section of Uzi steel ingots.
In the dimly lit subway tunnel, the rumbling footsteps were accompanied by a moving light spot. From a distance, it looked like countless candlelights, spreading to the end of the line of sight. Those were the eyes of a monster.
Just as Miao Pu said in the previous chat, many things always develop in a worse direction. Although the derivative monsters are fighting on two fronts, they obviously do not lack combat power, and the troops sent here are huge.
According to the data returned by the surveillance eye, in the past four hours, no derived monsters or reconnaissance tools have arrived at the scene where the ape-man was killed. In other words, their opponents do not know the details of the last battle.
Information, but only through the life sensing ability of the nest, it was known that all the members of the same species who were pursuing were killed in battle.
"Cannon fodder is so luxurious. I really don't know whether it's because there is no shortage of soldiers or because it's because of a brain disorder..." Miao Pu said this because these monsters killed were destined to be wiped out by the energy tide regardless of whether they could complete their mission.
After all, Miao Pu made his fortune through farming and technological advancement. He was tired of wasting resources. For a commander who was finally preparing to capture the opponent's position, the opponent's waste was simply a squandering of the money that was about to go into his own pocket.
.
Thinking of this, Miao Pu's eyes turned cold, and he ordered to the soldiers: "Prepare for a super long-range attack, I will let half of them die before they meet." Miao Pu's idea is very simple, since his opponent is so wealthy.
, then kill it until it feels distressed.
The soldiers did not use either of the two shoulder cannons. Instead, they reached out and took out the cylindrical objects from the hanging rings on the sides of the packages behind their backs. With a twist of their hands, the long barrels began to explode.
Triangular-shaped fins pop up. This thing now looks very much like a missile. After activating the throw, the tail spray can fly, and its flight mode seems to be very similar to that of a missile.
In other words, this kind of thing is really a missile, and it is a source version of the missile. It is a weapon made by [Qi Ling] using source technology to refer to real-life cruise missiles, and it is also a sub-warhead type.
The surveillance eye that was previously set up in the tunnel now replaces the laser sighting of soldiers in modern warfare. The source version of the missile automatically turns off after flying for a certain distance, and then enters a state of stealth and suspension. This is visual deception, and its shell uses energy.
There is no obvious energy fluctuation in the tail after flameout due to refractive materials, so it is very difficult to detect them when the opponent is marching at full strength.
Less than ten seconds later, the vanguard of the derivative monsters had already entered the strike range. Under the lock of the monitoring eyes, the source version missile was ignited a second time. This time it was an explosive spray. The speed was not much slower than the bullets coming out of the chamber.
, and the shell disintegrated in the air, revealing the long bracket inside and the three-pronged bullet heads mounted side by side. The brackets rotated and flew, and the bullet heads flew down like corn kernels...
For a time, the leopard man avoided, the bird man blocked, the ape man and the rhinoceros man defended...
Unfortunately, this kind of warhead does not make contact with the target at all, and vaporizes quickly in the air, just like a poison gas bomb. The real detonator is designed on the bracket, which spins the warhead and vaporizes it, igniting the vaporization on its own.
substance.
There was no violent explosion, but black and rolling flames and light mist were generated over a large area in an instant.
"Boom..." It was a muffled and long sound like thunder, and the huge roar was accompanied by the sound of tearing air and sounded the next moment.
Large swaths of black and red light mist rolled up and down. Although there was no strong shock wave, the light mist rolled away like rolling clouds.
This situation caused some commotion among the monsters. The monsters shrouded in light and mist all looked scorched with fire, their heads and faces scorched black.
The commotion quickly subsided, and the monsters restored order almost immediately, but only ten seconds later, special deaths began to occur. At the same time, in these ten seconds, more than ten more
Under the guidance of the monitoring eyes, the missiles exploded at designated locations in the monster group, all achieving maximum damage coverage, adding a large group of "blackheads" to the monsters.
The delayed death failed to make the monsters pay special attention. After being unable to intercept the inexplicable attacks several times, the monsters chose to ignore it and continued their progress.
Indeed, their bodies are very strong and are almost immune to all human toxins. Ordinary sniper rifle bullets shot at them can only penetrate less than an inch into their flesh. The primary level of supernatural energy, unless the amount is so large that it becomes an absolute value, will
Like energy tides, otherwise the bombardment on them would be nothing more than flesh wounds. Of course, they will be destroyed if the damage barrier is stacked, but they should have output tons of damage before they die. Even as a mid-level monster,
Miao Pu, who is able to use the weapon and has the assistance of [Weapon Spirit], will be very difficult if he really fights face to face. If he is unfortunately besieged, he may even risk death in battle.
Delay does not mean never coming, the god of death finally came wielding the scythe to harvest life. Groups of "blackheads" fell to the ground one after another, their limbs twitching inexplicably, and layers of arcs appeared on their bodies from time to time.
.
"Puff, puff..." There were dense and clear explosions, which were the echoes of the death knell. The monsters who fell to the ground and twitched died in batches. The cause of death was the explosion of their eyes.
The chaos caused by large-scale deaths was once again contained. Although monsters were still dying, they quickly re-established order.
Those monsters that were on the verge of being covered by the explosion and whose invading materials did not reach the fatal target were like rusty machines, and their movements were stuck and stiff. They were pushed out of the queue without hesitation, and those who died were as if they had never existed...
When the monster battle group crossed this death zone, it became orderly again, and the sound of marching footsteps was rolling and exciting again. No one looked back to look at the same kind abandoned in the darkness.
Liu Xiang, who watched this "live broadcast" completely with the help of the spiritual network, was surprised by the terrifying power of those missiles, and was also shocked by the iron-blooded ruthlessness shown by the derived monster battle group. According to human logic, this is a highly disciplined force.
A powerful battle group.
To be honest, if he and his team members encounter such an enemy, there will be only one outcome. Whether they can escape or not depends on their fate. There is no need to fight at all. Looking at this battle, it is completely an underground ruin.
The characteristics of the lair creatures are that no matter how many people die, they will not feel bad. They all come from the combat power production line of the original civilization version. If you fight against such an enemy, unless you can win, and it is a big victory without losing any members and gaining a larger harvest,
Otherwise, it will be a compensation no matter what.
Although it is a bit of a gamble, fighting is often the same as doing business. There are fewer transactions where you lose money. If you lose everything, there is no more fun.
Looking back on the past, Liu Xiang suddenly realized that [Langya Team] obviously did not think so. He even recalled the various behaviors of Miao Pu and the others when they were in the underground ruins. They were completely reckless, running rampant and killing people, and various forces
The team was all secretly waiting to see the joke... They never expected that [Muyuan] would have already become the weather when we met again.
Good logistics, good technology, choosing the right path... It would be unfair to apply these comments to [Spike Team].
At this moment, even if Liu Xiang doesn't want to admit it from the bottom of his heart, he has to say that [Langya Team] is a hard-core team that dares to fight and fight hard in the true sense, because just a few months ago, this team's combat power was still very high.
Generally, even now, on the surface, Li Xuesong and the others look like they have been completely reborn, but the price involved is really heart-wrenching to think about. Who is a good person willing to plant a lot of messy things in his body or even in his mind?
The costumed monster looks majestic, but when you think about the cost of manipulation, it really doesn't feel that satisfying.
Victory is never free. Miao Pu has been able to reach this point. Even if Liu Xiang did not witness the whole process, in his eyes, all this should be paid for at a sufficient price.
