  Chapter 553 Give up thinking, so cool (13)

   "The alchemy engine shut down in an emergency, and it will take an hour and a half to clean up the cooling **** in the furnace."

   "The materials are sufficient, and the ammunition has not changed. The communication equipment can be used, but there is a lot of interference."

The technical knight reported to Tres and Ian the relevant report after the engine of the tracked transport vehicle was turned off, and he finally concluded: "Captain, I think this is because the Azure City and the Void Realm overlap too deeply. According to records, in places like Fairy Township and other places with a high overlap rate with the Void Realm, without special treatment, many devices are prone to conflicts due to different laws, flameout or self-explosion."

   "We brought relevant processing equipment this time, which can resist some abnormalities, but the processing time will take about three to five hours."

   "Advance on foot."

And Tres ordered decisively. He turned his head with a frown and looked at the steel giant behind him. Although the knight had a regretful expression, he understood what was important in this mission: "Take out all the things that need to be carried with you. To carry the materials, build a simple camp with the transport vehicle as the center, and then use the camp as the center, and a five-person team as a unit to explore the surrounding situation.”

   "Yes, Captain!"

  Ian did not raise any objection to Tres's handling method, because this is indeed the correct response.

  Of course they don't have more than three hours to repair the car. With the speed of the sublimators, even in a defensive posture, one and a half hours is enough for them to reach the perimeter of the laboratory.

   "I don't think this should be an accident."

Ian patted the crawler transport vehicle. This huge steel behemoth is a real war machine. A carriage is six meters long and wide. It is equipped with heavy armor shields, spiritual energy disruptors, two alchemy cannons and vehicle-mounted The machine gun can also drive continuously for three days and three nights at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

  And the alchemy furnace core it uses is not even the most advanced technology of the empire, it is just an enhanced version of the ordinary civilian furnace core.

   This is Terra’s mechanical technology, and of course, it’s also Ian’s technology—every time Ian sees a brand new alchemy creation, he will record their structure with a silver chip, knowing every detail of them.

   When he went back to farm, these design drawings and structural drawings that he had brought for nothing were priceless treasures.

It is precisely because Ian knows so much about tracked transport vehicles that he can be sure: "This is an attack. The enemy has already discovered us, so they used a virtual pulse to interfere with the engine's source quality booster chamber, causing the pressure to increase. Turn off the fire if you don't go."

   "Soon, there will be enemies coming to attack us. Tres, prepare for battle first."

  Of course, the understanding of alchemy is a little bit, but the most important thing is Ian's precognitive vision.

  He looked around just now and saw a group of people glowing red.

  Danger is coming. Although it is not too dangerous, it may also cause damage to human hands.

  How could the prophet be attacked? It's just a matter of finding an excuse.

"is that so?"

   Tres did not suspect him, so he issued an order requiring all staff to be alert and beware of possible attacks.

   It turns out that Ian was right.

   When the entire team formed a defensive formation with five shield guards as the front row laying mines, and all the alchemy cannons and various firearms on the transport vehicle were fully loaded, an abnormality occurred.

  In the dark streets of Azure City, white mist filled the air, and the sound of footsteps could be heard from time to time in the thick mist, as if some invisible monster was walking around the formation of the entire team, looking for weaknesses.

On the side, a thick roar of monsters seems to be pressed out of its throat, and the red eyes of the beast, which are uncertain in light and dark, are staring at the team of patrolling knights who have not changed their expressions in the shadows. Jump out and kill everyone.

Then, a large group of walking corpses controlled by fungi came out from the other end of the street. They let out indistinct roars and charged towards the position already covered with mines. The speed was like a 100-meter race. athletes, not corpses.

  If it is an ordinary caravan, even if it is a more professional **** team, they will probably be scared to death in the face of this battle.

   "Except for those corpses, everything else is an illusion."

   And Ian calmed down and vaccinated the team members: "Continue to be on guard, they are still looking for opportunities."

  Although all this seems to have strayed into a supernatural film set, for the sublime, theoretically, ghosts should be the ones to be afraid of.

  As for women crying, children laughing, and all kinds of noisy whispers, they have long been ignored as white noise.

  Boom boom boom—the landmines blew most of the fungal walkers to pieces before the alchemy cannons and machine guns were even fired.

  After all, no matter how the fungus is strengthened, these corpses were ordinary people before they were alive, and it is impossible to stop the explosives.

   And there are not many of these walking corpses, they are all corpses that are still intact after death. After all, they are too broken, and the fungus can't make them move again.

   "The real enemy is coming."

  Ian and Tres saw three shadows flashing past in the darkness almost at the same time. The difference is that Tres can only see the shadows, while Ian can see more clearly.

"One strange beast, two phantoms. The strange beast is an iron-clawed honey badger. The claws have been modified and alloy blades are inserted. The speed is very fast. It is currently moving counterclockwise from ten o'clock to six o'clock. Team members behind be careful."

Ian calmly described the current situation in the channel of the Patrol Knight: "The other two phantoms, one is male, holding a carpenter's knife in his hand, with a very strong body, about three meters high, a corrupted power type without sanity Phantom. The other is a woman, also without sanity, the fingers on the arm seem to have turned into sharp needles, very fast...huh?"

  He suddenly let out a light snort, and then said, "I'll deal with this. You go deal with the Iron Claw Honey Badger."

   "The male phantom is too big to pass the firepower net."

"Listen to you."

   happily agreed that with Ian around, Tres had completely given up thinking.

  To be honest, this feeling is pretty good, it feels like the brain is being massaged, soft and comfortable.

  Although there may be a possibility that the brain will become smoother in the future, at least it is very cool now.

   And just when Tres started to play badly happily, Ian was still observing the 'experimental unit' sent by the enemy.

   Obviously, these monsters are the pioneers sent by the surviving laboratory ascensionists in Azure City to test their strength.

  They have already wiped out a squad of patrolling knights. They must have the force of the second level, but definitely not the third level, otherwise they would not be so cautious.

  The strength of this strange beast and the two phantoms is not low. Although they are only around the first level, they each have special abilities, especially those of the phantoms. If you don't pay attention, you will suffer a lot.

  The strength of phantoms in the virtual world is different from their real strength, especially when the virtual world is abnormal.

In reality, the ordinary butcher shop owner, if he is slightly strengthened in the abnormal virtual environment, his projection will become a half-giant man with a height of four or five meters. However, the sublimator in reality is an accident, and his projection power may not be as good as that of Lu Brittle bone finch.

   On the way to Azure City, Ian and the others encountered an ordinary-looking phantom.

  She looked like an ordinary, weak woman weeping under a big tree, and even made some patrolling knights think that she was a survivor who escaped by accident.

  But after being disturbed by the transport vehicle, the phantom exploded with astonishing power. It swooped onto the transport vehicle and almost broke the barrel of the alchemy cannon.

  The silver chip indicates that this kind of phantom is called [Weeping Witch], and most of the original bodies are women who are often bullied or abused, and their hearts are full of resentment.

  It will not actively attack, but once it is disturbed, it will burst out the hatred hidden deep in its heart, killing everyone who makes it stop crying.
