Bang!
The energy core of a Level-45 Normal-grade Mechanical Octopus was destroyed by Feng Luo's shot. A series of sparks flew from its body. After that, all eight of its tentacles fell to the ground, paralyzed.
However, a Level-44 Mecha Mantis moved its four black metal limbs past the Mecha Octopus's body. It waved two "alloy broadswords" that spun at high speed like chainsaws and slashed at Feng Luo's head.
Crack!
Neutron Star, who was standing beside Feng Luo, reacted quickly. He raised the two alloy longswords in his hands.
The Light Armor Warrior Level-25 skill "Parry" was activated, blocking the Mechanical Mantis's attack and reducing most of the impact and damage.
Suddenly, a Level-43 Mechanical Electric Snake emerged from the back of the Mecha Mantis. Its tail coiled around Neutron Star's alloy sword, and a powerful blue-white electric arc shot out from its body.
“-1080！”
An electric damage value of over 1,000 flashed above Neutron Star's head. At the same time, his body trembled as he entered a paralyzed state.
Fortunately, Feng Luo fired a shot accurately and cut the mechanical electric snake, which was less than a meter long, in half. White Crescent, who was behind them, had already slapped a pack of potions that could remove negative statuses onto Neutron Star.
"How much longer? Hurry up!"
Big Pineapple raised his 1.8-meter alloy shield and blocked the attacks of a Level-45 Mecha Octopus and two Level-44 Mecha Mantises. He shouted to the people behind him as he fought.
Behind the four of them was a sealed room with no other entrance other than this door. There were several rows of sci-fi devices that looked like terminals.
The entire wall of the room was made into a circular screen about three meters high. At this time, rows of data streams were rapidly refreshing on the circular screen. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net
】
In front of the machine, Lin stared at the screen with a solemn expression.
Her high-tech black-rimmed glasses were connected to the device in front of her through a silver wire, and there was also a stream of data flashing across it.
This room was the surveillance room of the S-53 military base.
Feng Luo and the others had been moving all the way. After more than 20 minutes, they finally hid here.
Yes, it was to "hide" in here!
Their judgment was wrong. The security of this military base was much stronger than they had expected.
Although the control mainframe of the base was in a semi-dormant state and did not fully activate its defensive power, the mechanical guards patrolling every corner of the base were still present.
Apart from the Level-45 Normal-grade Mechanical Octopus that could climb walls and shoot lasers, there was also the Level-44 Mechanical Mantis that wielded a chainsaw-like blade.
However, what he hated the most were the Level-43 Mechanical Electric Snakes that were only a meter long.
Although they didn't have any physical attack power, as long as they came into contact with a weapon or body, they could release a terrifying amount of electricity. Not only could they deal more than 1000 damage, but there was also a high chance of causing an "electric shock" status.
Moreover, the entire base seemed to be shielded by some sort of Detection Skill. The NPC crewmembers' Recon Meters were rendered useless, and they could not detect the mechanical guards' positions in advance.
Fortunately, the Mechanical Guards that appeared were only Level-40 Common Monsters. They were much weaker than the Level-55 Elite Mechanical Octopus that Shi Feng had encountered when he had first entered. With a good grasp of their weaknesses, two or three consecutive shots from a sniper rifle would be able to destroy their core chips.
However, there were too many mechanical guards. Five minutes after Feng Luo and the others entered the building, the number of mechanical guards chasing after them had reached more than 15.
Apart from the mechanical guards, the core building was also filled with all kinds of defensive facilities and traps.
Now, only one of the four NPC crewmembers who had followed them into the base was left.
The first one was killed by the Level-55 Elite Mechanical Octopus, the other was cut by a laser in one of the corridors, and the last one was cut in half by the chainsaw blade of a Mechanical Mantis that had suddenly crawled out from under the floor.
Red Queen's hiring of the NPCs was undoubtedly a wise decision. If they hadn't used their lives to explore the way, the players would probably have suffered heavy losses by now.
"Are you done yet? I can't hold on much longer! "
Big Pineapple raised his shield and blocked the door. Even though White Crescent had given him all the buffing potions and a pack of extremely rare B-grade blood tonics, which he had obtained from a mission, he was still unable to block the door.
Faced with the frenzied attacks of the mechanical guards, his HP was constantly decreasing.
Fortunately, the corridor outside the door was not very big. It could only allow three or four mechanical guards to attack at a time. With Feng Luo and Big Pineapple helping to split the firepower, he would have been unable to hold on much longer.
"Lin" was the one who suggested that they enter the base's surveillance room.
This was because they could connect to the base's main control computer. What Lin wanted to do was to hack into the mainframe and obtain control authority, or at least change their identity as intruders.
This seemed like an impossible task. How could the mainframe of a military base from the era of the Galaxy Empire be so easily hacked?
However, this was indeed feasible. Although most of the technology of the Galaxy Empire before the Great Destruction was more powerful than that of the current Federation, it was only in terms of mechanical intelligence that it lagged behind the current level of the Federation.
One of the reasons was that the Federation government's research level in mechanical intelligence, mechas, and electronic chips was very high. It was comparable to the biological genetic technology that the rebel army relied on. The second reason was that the Galaxy Empire itself suppressed the "intelligence" of the mainframe.
In the game's background introduction, during the middle period of the Galaxy Empire era, there was a military intelligent terminal codenamed "Night" that developed human-like consciousness and controlled the mechanical army to wage war against the Empire's soldiers.
After that, the Galaxy Empire strictly prohibited the use of real intelligent mainframes. Most of the mainframes and terminals that they used could only be classified as "semi-intelligent."
As such, as a Master Chip Expert who specialized in intelligent systems, Lin, with an IQ of 300, was naturally confident in hacking into the base's mainframe.
Of course, from Feng Luo's perspective, this was probably a special setting by the game company.
Otherwise, if the players wanted to complete this mission against such a powerful mechanical guard, they would only be able to do it if they attacked with hundreds of people.
"Hold on a little longer. It'll be done soon!"
Lin's glasses flashed with data as she replied loudly. Her finger was placed on a red button, ready to press it at any time.
"I just said I'll be done soon … F * ck!"
Big Pineapple had just finished speaking when a mechanical octopus's tentacle pierced through his shield and stabbed into his armor. The battered alloy shield had been completely pierced through.
"We're going to be wiped out!"
Big Pineapple shouted.
"Done!"
Almost at the same time, the data flow in Lin's black-rimmed glasses suddenly stopped. After that, her finger immediately pressed the red button.
"Whoosh …"
The group of mechanical guards that had been attacking in a frenzy suddenly stopped. After that, they quickly retreated out of the passageway and returned to their original posts.
"Phew!"
Big Pineapple threw the alloy shield that was full of holes on the ground. His body was sprawled out on the ground as he panted heavily.
In his current state, not only was his HP almost depleted, but his stamina had also dropped to the bottom. This was the result of Feng Luo contributing two packs of C-grade stamina recovery potions that he had obtained from the Town of Exiles mission.
Red Queen and Glazed Ice didn't look too good either. It wasn't that they didn't want to participate in the battle before, but they couldn't anymore.
This was because their MP had been depleted in the previous battle, and the recovery potions were also on cooldown. They couldn't use any skills at all.
The skills of Manipulators were powerful, but they also consumed a lot of MP. Apart from the energy crystals that were installed in the staff to provide energy, each skill also consumed a lot of MP.
Without the support of MP, Manipulators could be said to be the most powerless profession in War.
Although War had no restrictions on equipment, and they could still fight with daggers or pistols when they ran out of MP, without any specialization bonuses, the damage dealt was pitifully low.
This was also why many players didn't switch to Manipulators with strong attack power and instead chose the Warrior, a kitchen knife profession.
After all, Manipulators might not have MP, and Gunners might not have bullets, but Warriors could always rely on normal attacks to deal damage.
