Hum!
In front of the abandoned town that had just gone through the flames of war, there was a moat that had restrained the Nightless City convoy.
It was a giant mechanical unit with a height of more than 60 meters, with a large number of octopus-like complex mechanical structures, and a huge oval main body that was emitting terrifying heat that distorted the air at the top and billowing black smoke.
It was crossing the river, which was very deep for the players but only less than one-third of its height, and approaching the abandoned town!
Boom!
This giant mechanical octopus was so huge that when it hit the broken bridge that had been blown up by the Blue City Company, it directly caused the bridge to collapse for a second time, and a lot of rubble fell into the river.
Bzzt, bzzt …
When one of the giant mechanical octopus tentacles with a diameter of more than 10 meters, which seemed to have many protruding tentacles, touched the other side of the river …
In the blink of an eye, the surface of the giant tentacle glowed with a blue light, and all the protrusions on it moved and transformed into a large number of mechanical squids that jumped from above to the ground.
Whoosh, whoosh …
Then, it rushed into the abandoned town and drilled into the buildings with narrow entrances.
It used a large number of mechanical tentacles to pull the equipment left by the players of the Blue City Company after they died in battle.
Then, it brought them back to the side of the giant mechanical octopus and threw them on the open space.
Whoosh!
When the equipment was accumulated to a certain extent, the giant mechanical octopus's tentacles, which were more than 50 meters long, emitted blue electromagnetic light again.
It produced an attractive force similar to the electromagnetic absorption mine. Like a vacuum cleaner, it swept away the shields, power armors, and other equipment left by the players of the Blue City Company on the ground.
Then, it raised the tentacles, which looked like a garbage mountain of equipment, over its head.
It switched the electromagnetic force field so that all the equipment fell above its head, into the oval cylindrical structure that was emitting black smoke and emitting a high temperature like a furnace.
Pa, Pa …
It was accompanied by even thicker black smoke and the sound of the mechanical structure being transported.
After more than ten seconds, items of various colors and shapes began to fall from below the main body of the octopus.
Upon a closer look, it was obvious that they were the waste materials left behind after some useful materials were extracted from the players' equipment.
This giant mechanical octopus seemed to be a "mobile factory" for both collection and material processing.
Moreover, it was an "armed mobile factory"!
"Buzz!"
When the giant Mecha Octopus was about 150 meters away from the building where the Scout Beetle was located.
A column of liquid that carried a high temperature that could melt metal was directly sprayed onto the roof of the building where the Jet Beetles were located. The liquid instantly covered a small part of the building that occupied a large area, causing flames and black smoke to soar into the sky.
It also caused the Scout Beetle's vision to turn black once again!
…
"The situation is very bad!"
After hearing Feng Luo's description of the information.
In the control room of the checkpoint, everyone's expression was grave.
Although the defense of this checkpoint was perfect, it was still relatively easy to deal with humanoid Terminators.
In the face of such a huge mechanical unit, it was obviously impossible to block it.
Moreover, it was just a checkpoint. There was no strategic depth to speak of. Once the giant mechanical octopus moved over, without knowing its attack methods, they would be able to escape.
Even if it was destroyed, the final losses would probably be far beyond imagination.
"This thing should be at least Boss Grade. We can't rule out the possibility of it being a Super Boss!"
Feng Luo frowned.
Apart from worrying about the strength of the giant mechanical octopus, there was actually something more important in his mind.
It was the information revealed by the giant mechanical octopus's action of collecting the materials in the players' equipment.
Although he could not be sure, Feng Luo's intuition told him that these materials should be used to transport back to the mechanical factory that he had previously detected to create new Terminators or mutant mechanical units.
This was clearly something that made people wary.
It was important to know that there were more than 1.5 million players participating in the competition. Almost everyone had brought two sets of equipment into the competition, and almost all of them were high-grade equipment.
This amount of equipment was definitely enough to provide hundreds of thousands of basic materials for the production of Terminators. Moreover, they were all high-grade materials.
Coupled with the "mechanical factory" that was as big as a city.
It would not be long before the participating players would not have the ability to face the mechanical units head-on!
"Could it be that the Terminator is actually a restriction measure set by the system to prevent prolonged battles between players?"
"But why do I feel that something is wrong? Since there is a plot about the Terminator, is it really just a support game for the players? If that's the case, is there a need for such a large-scale attack on the player's city, directly disqualifying the entire area as a punishment?"
While the people in the command room were anxiously discussing how to deal with the giant mechanical octopus, Feng Luo was deep in thought.
The other person who did not participate in the discussion was Lonely Galaxy. After glancing at Feng Luo from the corner of his eyes, he whispered a few words to himself.
"Chirp!"
Above the checkpoint, there was an eagle's cry, as well as the sound of flapping wings.
"I've already sent my pet to the sky to scout … There is indeed the giant mechanical octopus. However, we're lucky. The giant mechanical octopus did not move towards us. Instead, it turned around after clearing up the Blue City Guild's equipment. It's already far away from here! "
After a few dozen seconds, he spoke.
The Scout Beetle was limited by the resolution of its field of vision. To obtain sufficient detailed information, it had to take the risk of close detection.
High-level mechanical units clearly had detection methods that could break its concealment, so Feng Luo had lost Scout Beetles one after another.
However, Lonely Galaxy's Golden Eagle clearly would not do so. The eagle's long-range vision was considered the best among all creatures.
As for Lonely Galaxy, why did he not need to go out at all, or wait for the Golden Eagle to return to know the results of the detection?
Clearly, there was a "mental link" between him and his pet, and it was a detection link similar to the Scout Beetle that could share vision.
Feng Luo raised his head and glanced at Lonely Galaxy.
He was not a fool. It was obvious that Lonely Galaxy seemed to be targeting him, or rather, competing with him.
Just like the two pets, 24K and the Mutant Golden Eagle.
"Phew, our luck is indeed not bad."
After hearing Lonely Galaxy's words, everyone's mood was a little more relaxed.
In this case, at least they had time to figure out its methods.
As long as they were prepared, even if it was a super Boss, it was not impossible to kill.
Of course, they could not completely relax.
Because, since the terminator even collected the players' equipment, then in front of the checkpoint, so many mechanical wreckage would undoubtedly not be abandoned.
It was likely that after the goods were transported back, the giant mechanical octopus would come back.
Moreover, he would definitely bring more combat units with him.
At that time, the number of terminators involved in the attack would certainly not be inferior to the number of the previous attack on the Warrior Soul Guild, and even because of this round of setbacks, the number of terminators that came might be more.
"The defense of this checkpoint is very perfect. As long as enough information is detected, and reasonable tactics are designed, we are confident that we can hold it."
Lonely Galaxy looked at Xiao Luo Shui and said in a confident tone.
"Of course, to deal with the mechanical octopus, the checkpoint's manpower is still a little insufficient, I hope that Nightless City can leave some players to help defend.
It's just that, because of food and supplies, the main force of Nightless City can only be stationed in the old city. Mr. Feng, I think this is not a problem, right? "
After that, he turned to look at Feng Luo, his expression calm.
"…"
Feng Luo did not answer directly, but pondered a little.
In fact, his eyes were slightly empty as he contacted the Scout Beetle that was flying in the direction of the ruined city where the Starry Sky Company was stationed.
"Mr. Xiao, that side …"
At this time, Qing Mei Zhujiu seemed to have received some news from the Starry Sky Company's internal channel. She quickly walked to Xiao Luo Shui's side and whispered a few words anxiously.
"Mr. Feng?"
Xiao Luo Shui frowned when she heard the words, but her face remained calm.
She asked for Feng Luo's opinion, which made Lonely Galaxy's face slightly sink again.
"Yes!"
Feng Luo nodded.
Of course, he knew that Lonely Galaxy's doing this was actually to disperse the forces of Nightless City, leaving the people in the checkpoint without leadership. When the battle began, it was equivalent to helping the Veterans Tribe defend the city.
However, with so many people in Nightless City, it was indeed impossible to squeeze in this small checkpoint.
Moreover, it was indeed necessary to leave some people to participate in the battle. After all, most people were interested in the things that the giant mechanical octopus could drop.
