[Command confirmed, patrol missile launch initiated, target locked...]
"Chi chi chi!"
The shoulder panels of the Loongson 6 nano-steel suit opened, revealing dozens of fist-sized, red-glowing small patrol missiles that shot out like a swarm of bees, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound.
Instead of shooting straight ahead, it traced a strange arc in the air, using miniature thrusters and an autonomous navigation system to precisely bypass the outer horde of beasts, and pounced on the earth roars, fleshy tumors, and the dense core area of the beast horde around the Mana Flower as if it had eyes.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"!!
A series of explosions suddenly erupted in the center of the mine, sending flames soaring into the sky. Shockwaves, mixed with debris and scorching heat, swept outwards.
The earth roar was blasted to pieces, its flesh and blood flying everywhere, and it collapsed to the ground howling in agony.
Those small tumors were blown to pieces.
The snake-dogs and spiky eels gathered in the core area were blown into the air, suffering heavy injuries to themselves.
The crimson spore mist was temporarily dispersed by the shockwave of the explosion.
[Target severely damaged: Earth Roar x3, Small Fleshy Tumors x8, Snake Dogs, Estimated Spiny Eel Swarm x40+. Mr. Chen, please eliminate them as soon as possible.]
The game started with a bombshell, and the core area was thrown into chaos.
At the same time, Iron Guard No. 1 and No. 2, like two gray lightning bolts, swooped down from the flanks and attacked the outer horde of beasts.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
The electromagnetic laser gun fired in continuous bursts, completely pinning the spiky eels that were emerging from the cracks in the rock wall to their spots.
"Brush, brush!"
Two electromagnetic laser swords flashed with blue light.
They stirred up a bloody storm among the snake and dog pack.
Iron Guard No. 1's movements were more fluid, with the sword light precisely cutting through joints and penetrating the core.
Iron Guard 2 was a bit stiff, but it was powerful enough to efficiently reap lives when combined with the laser gun's bursts.
They strictly followed orders, firmly keeping the snake-dogs and spiky eels that were trying to pounce on the central area at bay.
"Well done."
Chen Yuan praised it, and the thrusters under his feet unleashed an astonishing propulsion force. The Loongson 6 transformed into a silver meteor, taking advantage of the moment when the core area was stunned by the explosion, and swooped down with overwhelming force, its target the swaying Mana Flower.
Chapter 37 Medium-sized Survival Base
"Roar!!"
The remaining Earth Roars and several Snake Dogs that hadn't been killed roared angrily as they rushed forward to try and intercept them, spewing out thick, dark green acid from their mouths.
"Electromagnetic shockwave, unleash maximum power!" Chen Yuan's eyes beneath his mask were as cold as knives.
[Electromagnetic shock wave activated, released immediately!] Loongson processor executes instantly.
hum!
An invisible but extremely terrifying low-frequency shockwave suddenly spread out from Chen Yuan's feet like ripples on water.
The air was compressed and distorted in an instant.
The rubble on the ground jolted as if struck by an earthquake, then shattered in the next instant.
"Splash, splash, ouch..."
Wherever the shockwave reached, the attacking snake-dogs were struck on the head as if by an invisible hammer. Their eyeballs bulged out instantly, blood spurted from their mouths and noses, and they collapsed to the ground howling in agony, falling into deep dizziness or even brain death.
The core of the Devouring Beast at the very center was shattered.
The acid jets spewed by the two earth-roaring creatures were also deflected by the shockwave, their bodies staggering backward as if drunk, emitting painful hisses.
The nearby frenzied spiky eels and spine-like insects were also shaken and fell off the rock face like dumplings being dropped into a pot, temporarily losing their ability to move.
[Target group experiences dizziness/severe injury; area control effect is significant.] Loongson quickly reports.
With a single, decisive strike, Chen Yuan temporarily took control of the situation. The path leading to the Mana Flower was instantly cleared. His speed remained undiminished as he crashed down in front of the Mana Flower like a meteorite, the immense impact causing the ground to crack.
The Mana Flower seemed to sense a fatal threat; its petals contracted violently, spewing out even thicker crimson spores in a final struggle.
"it's over!"
A fierce glint flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes. He raised his right leg high like a battle axe, and the armor on the sole of his foot cracked open instantly. Three hot-melt piercing nails, gleaming with dark red heat and resembling short spears, suddenly sprang out.
The temperature of the nail tip soared to thousands of degrees Celsius under the action of a miniature heating device, forming a high-temperature blade.
"Give me... pieces!"
Chen Yuan roared, his right leg, amplified by 800% with nano-pulse power, pierced the center of the alluring bud of the Mana Flower with a scorching piercing nail like divine punishment.
"Swish, boom!"
The high-temperature piercing nail, like a red-hot iron rod piercing tofu, penetrated deep into the core of the Mana Flower without any resistance. The extreme high temperature instantly carbonized the fragile internal tissue, causing it to vaporize immediately.
At the same time, a terrifying impact erupted.
The Mana Flower exploded from the inside like a bomb, and huge petal fragments mixed with scarlet sap and spores that had not yet dissipated scattered everywhere like a rain of blood.
The entire bottom of the mine shook violently, and the lingering, manic energy field quickly dissipated.
[Core objective destroyed: Mana Flower, Survival Points +3000.]
With the main brain destroyed, the remaining Devouring Beasts were like those who had lost their backbone. Their frenzied state quickly subsided, and the scarlet spores, having lost their source, also began to slowly dissipate.
"Iron Guards, hunt freely, leave no one alive!"
A cold voice echoed across the battlefield as Chen Yuan issued commands while fighting.
[Command confirmed, Free Hunt mode activated.]
The blue light from the eyepieces of Iron Guard 1 and 2 intensified, and without the interference of the Mana Flower, their killing efficiency increased dramatically.
The electromagnetic laser swords transformed into two death whirlwinds, reaping savagely amidst the chaotic horde of beasts.
The electromagnetic laser gun precisely targets those who are trying to escape or resist.
Chen Yuan was like a tiger among sheep; every part of the Loongson 6 nano-steel suit became a killing tool.
Five-finger armor-piercing bullets, aimed at the distant Earth Roar.
Palm Cannon: Charge up energy and bombard the huddled group of snakes and dogs.
Occasionally, when you encounter someone with thick skin, you use a spiral drill arm to directly blast them apart – oops, I misspoke – a spiral impact drill arm.
"I'll show you your own brains!"
When faced with a spiky eel that is surrounding you, a high-temperature flamethrower is the best way to scavenger it.
The newly acquired electromagnetic shockwave is an even more powerful tool for clearing out areas; each release can knock down a large area.
The three mechs, like three precise and efficient killing machines, unleashed a one-sided massacre storm at the bottom of the mine.
Silver light and gray shadows intertwined, azure sword light and scorching flames mingled, explosions, cuts, roars, annihilation, forming a wasteland symphony.
The battle lasted less than fifteen minutes.
When the last spiky eel that tried to escape by burrowing into a crevice was pinned to the wall by Iron Guard 2's laser sword and its spirit particle core was shattered, the entire mine fell into complete silence.
The strong smell of blood, burnt bits, and the lingering sweet, fishy odor of manna flowers created a pungent and unpleasant stench.
The ground was covered with the mutilated corpses of Devouring Beasts, and their scarlet blood almost formed a small stream.
At this moment, the Loongson settlement tone sounded pleasant and melodious.
[Battle ended. Coordinated elimination: Mana Flower x1 + 3000 points, Snake Dog x120 + = 18000 points, Spiny Eel x80 + = 12000 points, Spinal Worm x40 + = 5400 points, Earth Roar x50 + = 17600 points, Small Tumor x12 = 1200 points. Current total survival points: 54200.]
Total survival points: 2700 (originally remaining) + 54200 = 56900 points.
With over 50,000 points earned, the efficiency is truly terrifying.
Chen Yuan stood atop the steel ruins, his Loongson 6 combat suit gleaming with a cold light. The patrol missiles on his shoulders still retained a slight warmth from their launch, and the molten piercing spikes on his feet slowly retracted, their tips still radiating a dark red residual heat.
Iron Guards No. 1 and No. 2 stood guard behind him, one on his left and one on his right, as loyal as two iron towers.
"Mechanical City...the Land-Sea Alliance...I will visit all the forces one by one."
Chen Yuan muttered to himself, then soared into the sky and returned to the Ark base.
Three streaks of light shot into the sky and quickly disappeared into the blood-red horizon of the wasteland.
……
With Iron Guard No. 1 and No. 2, Chen Yuan's efficiency in hunting Devouring Beasts improved significantly. After another half month of fighting, he finally accumulated 128460 survival points.
However, almost all the Devouring Beasts within a 10-kilometer radius were killed.
Even if new Devouring Beasts appear, their numbers will be small, so the speed at which points are gained has decreased significantly.
Chen Yuan walked out of the base, considered it carefully for a moment, and said, "Loongson, upgrade Ark Base No. 9."
[Command confirmed, 100,000 survival points consumed.]
[The upgrade process for the small survival base 'Ark No. 9' has been initiated. Upgrade target: Medium-sized survival base.]
[Estimated upgrade time: 3 hours. The system will take over all control of the base. Please wait in the safe zone.]
One hundred thousand points were deducted instantly. This number caused Chen Yuan a pang of pain in his heart. My points!!
During those three hours, Chen Yuan didn't rest; instead, he began to eat and drink heartily.
He stretched his limbs, his bones cracking slightly, and spent 200 survival points to exchange for a sandstorm-proof tent as a temporary shelter.
Then, from the system shop, you can redeem chilled beer (brewed with purified water), fresh beef stew, and a fresh fruit platter...
Chen Yuan began to eat and drink excessively, indulging in pleasure.
There were no danger alarms, no roars of Devouring Beasts, only the sound of food being chewed.
Chen Yuan leaned back in the comfortable synthetic material seat, watching the base upgrade progress bar on the system's holographic screen slowly but steadily move forward, and an unprecedented sense of relaxation welled up within him.
Chapter 38 Snakes and dogs are still dogs
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
When the progress bar finally jumped to 100%.
