"Okay, thank you, Young Master Pestilence, for your somewhat serious review," Mr. Yoo said. He opened his palm and pointed at the screen. "Now, let us reveal the answer!"
In the desert, Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul could not hear any sound from the set, and they did not see any cameras around them. How did the image get there? Only God knew.
Just now, after the two of them moved forward on their respective slides for a while, their vision suddenly turned white. The glaring sunlight broke through the darkness, and the surrounding temperature suddenly rose. It was as if they had fallen out of a spatial crack in mid-air.
This desert appeared to be very calm. At a glance, there was nothing but yellow sand. There were no cacti, no animal bones, no rocks, and no oasis … The strangest thing was that in such an open place, there was no wind, and the desert in front of him was completely flat. There wasn't even a slightly higher sand dune in his line of sight.
"This condition is perfect for shooting." Laughing Soul placed her hand before her forehead and looked around.
Xiao Tan smiled awkwardly and thanked her. "Er … thank you for coming to accompany me."
"Ah … It's fine. This is part of the strategy. Since the fighting part can be shared by many people, we should make use of the rules. Who told you to be so stupid and weak?" Laughing Soul replied in a helpless tone. She raised her hand and reached her index finger into her collar to loosen it. She was wearing a full Special Forces outfit, so naturally, she was feeling unbearably hot in this kind of temperature.
Xiao Tan did not mind Laughing Soul's evaluation of him; he knew she meant no harm. "By the way … in this environment, where will the enemy come from?" He lifted his head. The sun was high in the sky, and there were no clouds. The strong light made it hard for him to open his eyes. "If it comes from the sky, will it be a monster like a giant black vulture?"
"Based on what you said, if the monster comes from underground, it will be a giant bug?" Laughing Soul asked.
They had all guessed wrong …
At that moment, on the set, Mr. Yoo was at the reveal part. His next sentence was, "He is … from Cybertron … Sha! Mo! Lie! Tiger! "
A tsunami of cheers came from the audience.
At the same time, Desert Tiger entered Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul's sight.
He appeared in the distant horizon, approaching at an astonishing speed, leaving behind a trail of dust.
When Desert Tiger appeared, its appearance was that of a giant mechanical tiger. Its metal body was covered in yellow and black tiger stripes. Although he hadn't gotten close, Xiao Tan had already visually estimated this monster from a distance … or rather, this Transformer's body wasn't too big. It was estimated that it would only be five or six meters tall in its robot form.
Bang!
The gun was already fired.
Xiao Tan turned his head to look and realized that Laughing Soul was already on the ground. Her sniper rifle was ready, and the first bullet had been fired.
In this windless, bright, and spacious Gladiator Arena, as a player who specialized in shooting, if he couldn't do something before the enemy got close to him, he would definitely fail. Even if he couldn't end the battle from a distance, he couldn't let the iron lump get close to him unscathed.
With the perfect sniping conditions, Laughing Soul aimed at the man's head and fired. But it was a pity that her first shot missed the tiger head by a hair's breadth. Of course, this was because Desert Tiger was moving. If the man was stationary, with a sniper rifle with a scope, even a player with F in marksmanship would be able to hit him.
"This is so troublesome …" Laughing Soul licked her lips. She readied the second shot and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
This time, the target was even closer. Through the scope, it was almost within reach. And this shot had indeed hit its mark.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was just luck. This time, not only was Desert Tiger hit, but the bullet also hit its left eye, leaving a black hole on the tiger's face. The moment the bullet hit, it even burst into a ball of sparks. However, Desert Tiger was not an organic creature but a robot with life, so this kind of attack was not fatal.
Bang! The third shot.
After the shot, Laughing Soul did not even check to see if she had hit the target. She put the sniper rifle back into her inventory and took out a German MP5 submachine gun. She raised the gun and took aim.
Even though the gun was a store-bought gun, it was expensive. For a marksmanship player with a certain level of financial ability, this submachine gun was the best choice at the early stages of the game. It weighed less than three kilograms, had high firing speed, low recoil, high accuracy, and fast reloading speed. As a mature standard weapon, the MP5 was the first choice of many special forces in the world for a long time due to its reliability and excellent performance.
Tat tat tat tat tat …
When Desert Tiger was less than thirty meters away from them, Laughing Soul started to rain down the bullets from her submachine gun. The third shot from her sniper rifle had hit the monster's chest, but the armor there was thicker, so the bullet did not penetrate it. It only left a bullet mark.
Xiao Tan also took out his Winchester and raised it before his eyes. Even though his heart was racing and his palms were sweating, he was not in a hurry to pull the trigger. After the training in several scenarios, at least Xiao Tan had a certain level of understanding of the characteristics of the weapons that he carried. He knew that the shotgun in his hand had to be fired at close range to maximize its power. If he fired from more than ten meters away, even if it was not a Transformer but an old armored vehicle, he would not be able to cause much damage.
The bullets from the MP5 landed on Desert Tiger's front, causing sparks to fly. However, it did not slow down the monster's speed. When it was about ten meters away from the two players, its two hind legs kicked off, and it leaped into the air …
The sun cast the shadow of a large tiger on the sand. In the few seconds that Desert Tiger was in the air, the shadow on the ground changed drastically.
Obviously, Desert Tiger had changed shape in midair. The head that was originally in the shape of a tiger opened and twisted, and a robot head poked out from its torso. The four curved beast legs folded at strange angles, compressed, and extended. The mechanical arms inside the torso were exposed, and the tiger-patterned armor attached to the outer layer of the limbs like armor. The bullet holes that had hit his head earlier had been moved to insignificant locations. It looked like his tiger form was used for high-speed movement and for him to take a beating.
The whole transformation process was complicated, but it was fast and clean. The tiger that leaped into the air turned into a robot warrior about six meters tall before landing on the ground. It charged at the two players.
After the transformation, he spoke …
An emotionless, mechanical voice said, "Humans … erase … reconstruct …"
