Snap, snap, snap, snap.
The dense iron sand hit the transparent mask, making the already fragile protective baffle even worse. Even Jackson who was riding in the car felt a deep chill.
But this shot wanted to penetrate Victoria's steam mecha.
Behind the dark fuselage full of metallic luster, two plumes of smoke erupted from two bronze pipes facing the sky. The steam mecha suddenly accelerated and crashed into Sakota in front.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning. The angel with the black aperture did not retreat but advanced, holding the shotgun flat with both hands and spraying sand bullets continuously.
Jackson, who was sitting in the cabin, frowned. Since the Leopard mecha's protective performance was poor, and its ability to confront the enemy head-on was insufficient, it was generally used for pursuit and surprise attacks. For an enemy like this, it's best to It’s better not to use your own shortcomings to confront others head-on.
By this time, Jackson had completely come to his senses. He originally thought that they were just countrymen with wooden sticks and daggers, but he never thought that they would directly point the cannon at his face. The life and death of his companions behind him were still uncertain. After all, he was hit head-on by the Originium cannonball. In the end, if the machine is not destroyed on the spot and everyone is killed, it will be fatal.
Jackson didn't know that Dr. Rhode Island was in the convoy, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed up and attacked recklessly.
However, Zhou Jinru felt a toothache when he saw this scene. Steam mechas, steam trains, steam cities, etc. All equipment and vehicles related to steam drive are collectively called steam armor by Victoria. Arknights is obviously a doomsday-themed two-dimensional girl. The world view of mobile games, swords, magic and technology, when it comes to Victoria, the painting style suddenly turns 180 degrees from the ten-meter platform and lands straight in the swimming pool.
"How come you have cyberpunk gadgets like yours? Isn't the industrial revolution complete? Electricity is already used. Why are you, Victoria, still working on these gadgets?"
His questions were destined to remain unanswered, and the detective lady did not dare to answer the question.
To be honest, he was extremely lucky, and he fired with the attitude of giving it a try. The first round of not-so-intensive volleys achieved extremely brilliant results, paralyzing one mecha and another one rushing up like crazy. He was also frightened by the Undertaker's two shotguns. Of course, Zhou Jinru secretly cast a mental shock, and the stun time was still only one second. He suspected that there must be no obstacles in the middle when this skill hits the target.
Jackson stared at the transparent shield that was only one step away from being shattered. The lower limbs of the mecha rotated rapidly on the road. The huge body turned in a big spin, barely evading Sakota's shotgun, and all the sand bullets hit the fuselage. superior. Leaves a white spot.
Just when he was about to fight back, he saw a heavily armed soldier rushing towards him. His movements were extremely fast, which was inconsistent with the heavy equipment. He hit the side of the mecha with a loud bang, and the exaggerated force even knocked Jackson out of the way. Personal position.
Jackson was shocked and angry by this impact. How could anyone hit a three-ton steam mecha? !
Zhou Jinru's eyes were a little erratic, and he subconsciously said: "Why didn't anyone tell me that Li was so strong before?"
If one day Miss Woodchuck really wants to bully the king and give birth to a child, he may not have much room to resist.
"Miss Li's racial characteristics are like this. There were rumors in the past that her roar could scare people to death. In fact, they were all rumors. The equipment she is wearing now is copied from the Equipment Department. Even without the bonus of the Pure Source Stone, she can still get Nice ability bonus.”
Zhou Jinru nodded, climbed onto the roof of the car, and pulled Breeze up.
Breeze has not been with Rhode Island for a long time. She has spent a lot of time getting familiar with Rhode Island and its operators. It is not easy for her to be able to tell Li and that set of equipment so easily.
Seeing Wei Feng's hesitant look, Zhou Jinru said, "You want to ask me, why don't you ask me about Victoria?"
Breeze looked into his eyes, and her eyes fully demonstrated the doubts in her heart.
"Grace, you are from Duolun County in Victoria. Duolun County is a fringe city and belongs to the sphere of influence of the old aristocracy. I have no intention of offending you and your family. You and your family may not have much understanding of emerging things. Take Vina Speaking of which, as a member of the royal family, the weapons in her hands are still cold weapons. Indra is also known for his skills, but the steam armor is a very advanced thing. I doubt that the technical reserves behind it can be used to open that thing. A big guy who is one to two generations ahead of the Leopard."
Seeing Breeze gritting his teeth and showing unwillingness, Zhou Jinru stopped talking and reached out to rub her hair. This time the girl did not resist.
When the Victoria village girl who drives the tractor gets on the boat, Zhou Jinru can learn more about it through the gun in her hand. Now...it seems that there is no chance.
"red!"
As he called out, the red wolf suddenly appeared in front of him, its elusive appearance startled the doctor.
"You go do something..."
…
…
Jackson was a little angry. He was like a big man with no strength, being constantly harassed by another enemy with excellent speed, and he couldn't find a way to fight back.
"Damn it, you didn't set it up with the ammunition launch module when you came here. If my S-type Originium missiles were still there, you damn monkey would be dead!"
Jackson felt something was wrong. He swung the weapons and equipment of the melee module, and a wide-blade chain saw kept tearing at it, making a loud roar, but it could not hit the gravel that bounced against the steam mecha.
"Is the little man's support so exaggerated?"
The Undertaker was also taken aback by Li's performance. Even the notary office had to be careful when facing Victoria's steam armor. As a result, Miss Li was wearing a set of equipment and the steam mecha was unable to fight back.
At this moment, Li knew very well that she could not maintain this state for too long. Now she was just using the Origin Stone skills to burst out briefly with the help of this set of equipment. When her physical strength was exhausted, she would not even have the strength to walk, so The equipment department also repeatedly warned her that she must reach a safe place before her physical strength is exhausted, otherwise she may lose her life.
"This can't go on like this!"
Jackson and Li had the same idea.
The steam mecha slammed forward, relying on its huge three-ton body to rush towards a stalled car in front. Because there were two people standing on the roof of the car, he paid attention to the car for a long time and realized that these two people were here to see a joke. , seeing his joke, couldn't help but feel angry.
Being pinned down by one person for so long was an unprecedented humiliation. Victoria's pilot had a strong murderous intent.
"PhD!"
Breeze watched the mecha abandon the operators besieging it and rush straight towards it. She panicked and tried to push Zhou Jinru away, but the doctor from Rhode Island stood motionless, watching the Leopard steam engine getting closer and closer. A raised his broad-bladed chain saw and struck it at him.
Hahahahaha, you’re so scared, you’re dead, and you’re still looking!
A layer of joy rose in Jackson's heart. He had already seen the scene of the man being torn apart by a chain saw.
However, at this moment, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness. At the same time, he felt great fear in his heart. It was as if the person in front of him was not an adult man, but his mother holding up her slippers and holding a ruler. Teachers, and instructors wielding whips!
ah!
Jackson looked pale in the cabin and let out a scream. He subconsciously pulled the control lever. The entire steam mecha tilted across the ground and fell heavily on the road. The flat ground was smashed into a mess, and finally crashed into a building on the roadside. , buried underneath by collapsed masonry.
Breeze was frightened by the scene in front of her. She never expected that the other party would make such an exaggerated move at the last moment. The doctor stood there, as if he was a wall of sighs blocking all impacts!
"It's very strong, not because the power is too weak, but because the distance is too far and the influence is reduced."
Zhou Jinru used the main function of emotional talent to amplify emotions. He infinitely amplified the fear in the opponent's heart. Therefore, in the short gap after the dizziness, the pilot who was completely dominated by fear would only see the things he was extremely afraid of. As for Zhou Jinru didn't know what he saw.
But there are not many things that can make a man afraid. When he was a child, he was his parents, when he grew up, he was a teacher, and when he grew up, he was his boss. After all, not many people can live carefree, and most people have things they fear in their hearts.
"Clean the battlefield, take all the bullet casings back, and don't leave them any excuses."
Zhou Jinru jumped off the roof of the car and took advantage of the breeze to hug him.
Breeze's expression was a little complicated. She couldn't adapt to the fact that the doctor had become very powerful. After being silent for a long time, she showed a forced smile in the man's eyes.
It seemed that what she said before was still affecting her thoughts.
Zhou Jinru thought it would be better to let Breeze calm down and let Yanke capture the pilot in the steam mecha cabin and take him away. Then he would give the man to Keisha and kill or cut her up. This man was very hot to handle.
Not long after, when they were about to go upstairs again, Hong came back. Miss Lupo's face was ugly. Zhou Jinru quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
"That pilot is dead."
died?
Zhou Jinru quickly stretched out his hand to pull Hong into the car, closed the door tightly, and asked: "Did he die in an accident?"
He had told Hong not to kill anyone unless absolutely necessary. The possibility of Hong taking action was very small, but the probability of the other party committing suicide was actually not high.
When Yan Ke took another pilot in, he did not find poison or a short knife on his body.
As for the two mechas, Rhode Island couldn't get their hands on them. Zhou Jinru also wanted to go to Victoria and bring back the several frigates stored there.
"No."
Hong shook his head: "He died of a sword wound. Someone stabbed him and killed him. I heard faint singing nearby, but I couldn't find the target."
The pilot was stabbed to death. According to Hong's description, the way of death was very ordinary. Someone stabbed into the mecha with a sword, penetrated the protective layer, and killed the pilot.
From the time when the Source Stone shell knocked down the mecha to when Hong went over to check the situation, the time in between was very short. To kill people and still escape in such a short time showed that the opponent was a top master.
No matter how poor the Leopard steam mecha's protective capabilities are, it will not be directly pierced by a sword...
Also, what’s going on with the singing?
"No, it's still possible. Does the doctor still remember Miss Franka?"
Zhou Jinru shook his head repeatedly: "Don't say that. I don't believe someone from Black Steel would do such a thing. The Thermite Sword is indeed powerful, but it's not enough to do this."
Breeze, who had regained his energy a little, argued: "Doctor, I'm just providing some ideas."
"I know what you want to say, but we have to wait until we get to Dimos Manor."
Half an hour after the Rhode Island convoy left, several vehicles arrived on the ruined temporary battlefield. They stared at the scene in front of them in stunned silence, because after the person in charge ran away, the deputy who was temporarily promoted stared at him. Eyes wide open, the air is still filled with the unpleasant smell emitted by the explosion, indicating that Originium dust has been violently burned here, and the smell has not dissipated. It is worth mentioning that the impact of this smell on the human body is almost negligible. .
"Report it. Both Panther mechas have been damaged. One of the pilots was killed, and the whereabouts of the other are unknown. He is suspected of being captured."
There is no doubt that this is an extremely exaggerated report, so exaggerated that even the deputy standing here cannot believe it...
"It is suspected that Rheinland Life has dispatched senior combat personnel. They are also equipped with heavy firepower. The scene has been cleaned very clean. No bullet casings and other remnants were found, but the damage to the mecha cannot be faked."
That's the only way to explain it.
But how much exaggerated combat power would it take to wipe out two mechas in a short period of time?
I heard that Vaifan, a former employee of Rhine Life, who has terrifying combat prowess, did she do it herself?
The deputy covered his mouth and nose and walked back, watching his men carry the dead pilot out of the cabin. The seat was stained red with blood. When the pilot died, his expression was distorted, and his eyes that had lost their vitality were filled with incredible expressions. .
"Chief, are you still chasing me?"
"What are you chasing?!"
The deputy stared at his subordinates with hatred: "Even noble Victoria's Panther mecha was defeated, how about we go up there and die?!"
"But, but Duke's side..."
The deputy grabbed his subordinate's collar and said with a chill in his eyes: "You really regard Duke as your master. Don't forget that he can sit where he is now only because of those Victorians. We are We, Victoria are Victoria, and when the time comes, someone will naturally settle things with him, don’t be smart, they don’t need your favor!”
"Yes Yes Yes."
The subordinates lowered their heads submissively.
The deputy let go of his hand and said coldly: "You know what to do?"
"My subordinate understands and will arrange for manpower to send these two mechas back to Duke Ford's base camp."
"Don't touch it, don't intercept it, including the dead pilot, even a pair of boots must be sent back intact!"
"yes."
The deputy watched his men leave and sighed softly. These two mechas were nothing like hot potatoes. They were like two red-hot irons, and the skin would peel off if touched.
Old Duke sent out two mechas with full confidence. An hour later, the mechas were sent back. One of the pilots was dead and the other was missing. He was slapped hard on the face, a series of slaps from left to right, and his face was swollen.
