Chapter 343: If Aliens Can Parasitize Mechas...
The unexpected encounter and fight between players from both camps was both reasonable and unexpected.
Players on the Earth Federation side are afraid that there may be an enemy ambush in the factory, and players on the Leia Innovation side think the same!
So even though they were so close, they all chose not to rush into the factory, but instead started a group battle using the surrounding mecha garbage mountain as cover.
The sound of their exchange of fire obviously alerted Cheng Tian who was changing armor inside the factory.
Although the reconnaissance balls deployed by the Revolutionary Army were almost all destroyed in the previous confrontation with the machine, Cheng Tian himself still had the mind image crystal that could be used for reconnaissance.
When not driving a mecha, the crystal is very small and does not produce any electromagnetic fluctuations, making it inconspicuous on the battlefield. It floats to a high place by itself and provides a comprehensive observation of the battlefield.
Looking down from a high vantage point, Cheng Tian quickly grasped the current situation and determined through the paint and aircraft models that the two parties in the firefight were players from the opposing camp and their former teammates, and the Blood Armor Squad did not appear.
So, Cheng Tian decisively landed the Mind Crystal and went directly to find the Elf that was slacking off in the distance, and gave some hints that only Irene could understand.
Cheng Tian was still vigilant, and while notifying everyone, he also made additional security arrangements.
Although the green paint job and the crossbow-wielding figure of the Elf indicated that it was Irene's machine, Cheng Tian was not sure whether it was Irene herself who was driving it.
In addition, Cheng Tian is now very clear that he is now at odds with the world, so he doesn't think that the two former teammates are here to help him... huh?
Two? Only two?
When it was confirmed that there were only two mass-produced machines belonging to the Reform Army, the image of the female Iron Blood suddenly popped up in Cheng Tian's mind.
If I remember correctly, this guy should have synchronized the optical camouflage ability with the mecha, so...
Ten Commandments Radar! Activate!
A mysterious wave emanated from Cheng Tian in Gates LB, instantly covering an area with a radius of 500 meters.
The Ten Commandments, which were originally only used to sense humans, have now been changed by mecha technology to be able to only sense "humanoid mechas".
In Cheng Tian's perception, he could sense a silhouette similar to Gates' slowly approaching from the main entrance.
With a thought, the radar in the Chengtian tank matrix aimed its huge destructive cannon at the location of Gates, which was covered by optical camouflage.
A huge sense of crisis instantly enveloped the female Iron-Blooded in the cockpit!
Her extensive hunting experience told her that she had been exposed.
As soon as the thought came to her mind, the optical camouflage was removed, and flames began to appear on the shoulder of the Hyena she was driving.
Although the optical camouflage ability of the female Iron Blood can allow Gates to obtain the same stealth ability under the influence of mecha magic, it also has to load the corresponding defects at the same time. That is, when the optical camouflage is turned on, all light-based weapons cannot be used. In the current copy, weapons such as laser swords, electromagnetic claws, and laser cannons cannot be used.
But it was too late to fight back.
Cheng Tian, who had no sympathy for the factory at hand, decisively ordered the radar to fire.
Since the destruction cannon is a range attack and the space inside the factory is limited, the female Iron Blood who was caught first had nowhere to escape.
But just when the explosion of the destructive cannon was about to cover the female Iron Blood, Cheng Tian saw that the Gates driven by the female Iron Blood suddenly had something that looked like armor in its hand, and then the entire fuselage was covered by a layer of cover with obvious spell fluctuations.
The explosion of the destruction cannon directly engulfed the female Iron Blood machine, but when the flames dissipated, it was seen that Gates, who had become translucent, was actually unharmed!
"Oh? Fish mane coat?"
Cheng Tian searched the game hall at light speed and instantly locked onto an item, an interesting expression appearing on his face.
Fish scale coat, a treasure, comes from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". After using it, the body will be covered by the magic fluctuations released by the fish scale coat, in a translucent state, and gain an invincible BUFF for a certain period of time, and the user can still cause damage to the enemy during this period.
Cheng Tian wasn't quite sure whether the Fish Mane Coat was a skill or a consumable of the female Iron Blood, nor was he quite sure what kind of damage its invincibility BUFF could make it immune to. However, he could indirectly judge how long the Fish Mane Coat would last from the female Iron Blood's subsequent behavior.
The female warrior, with a look of pain on her face, decisively chose to retreat.
As a female Iron-Blooded Hunter who was transformed from a human into an Iron-Blooded Hunter through a blood purification mission, the gap between Hyena and a real female Iron-Blooded Hunter in terms of personality, behavior, and concepts is huge, just like Smarthead to other Ogryns. Hyenas, who are not good at frontal combat, do not have the abnormal persistence of other members of the same tribe, and all actions are based on saving their lives first.
Through the detection function of the Iron Blood mask, the female Iron Blood can directly determine the driver's location through the thick armor, and know that Cheng Tian is not in the Radar. But what is strange is that the Radar can still launch an attack without anyone driving it, which really makes the female Iron Blood unable to understand.
Even if she didn't understand, she still had to run...but Cheng Tian obviously didn't intend to let her run.
While the fish mane coat was still in effect, the female Iron Blood who was retreating quickly suddenly felt that she had hit something.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a purple energy barrier.
"Now that you're here, don't leave."
Cheng Tian, whose body had turned into a shadow nightmare, closed the Book of Ys in his hand with a crisp sound.
At almost the same time, the Irene Elf, guided by the sanction arrow, also flowed into the factory while avoiding the sight of others, and was only separated from the female Iron Blood's Hyena by a barrier.
In an instant, a look of joy appeared in the eyes of the female Iron Blood.
Because she knew that although the Elf was a player from the enemy camp, it should also be the enemy of the wanted person inside.
But when she saw the Elf so openly and swaggeringly walk into the opposite side's firing range, and directly stood next to the opposite Gates without being attacked, stretching its body with obvious sarcasm, and pointing its head at the Nightmare Gates to indicate that it was taller, the female Iron Blood finally understood.
It turns out that these two players belonging to different camps are old acquaintances in the space!
Moreover, the relationship is good enough to make one of the parties completely abandon its own camp and even the main mission!
There are only two possibilities for the other party to display these in front of you without any concern.
One is that one of them is ready to judge the faction and fail to add the main line.
Another possibility is that they didn't intend to let themselves survive after seeing this.
...We have to fight hard!
The female Iron Blood opened the hatch without hesitation, exposing herself directly to Cheng Tian's sight in her vulnerable unarmored state. However, while the fish mane coat was in effect, she activated the optical camouflage again, and her entire figure disappeared.
But at the same time, Gates, with the hatch closed and no one in the cabin, was shaking and rolling around like a living thing. But just as he lay on the ground and no longer moved, the cockpit door was violently broken open from the inside -
An alien larva with a body made of metal burst out of Gates' cockpit while making a shrill scream, and quickly began to assimilate the entire body of Gates, turning into a weird appearance of a fusion of mecha and alien!
