Chapter 226 Sappers
"Chi", with a sound like gas being rapidly discharged, the fortress door trembled and opened to both sides, startling the people in the excavation team as soon as it was opened.There is nothing behind the door. Instead, there is a giant machine parked at least four meters high and more than ten meters long. It is very similar to Parvatija's crystal energy four-wheeled vehicle, but it is much larger than the crystal energy vehicle. , and far more than four wheels, twenty wheels support the body. The texture of the wheels is similar to the giant grass reed tree resin commonly used to make crystal energy vehicle wheels, but slightly harder. Each wheel is as tall as an adult. The excavation team These people stood in front of the car, as small as ants.

Behind the domineering front of the car is a huge body, which is made up of two closed compartments. It should be a transportation vehicle. You can't see what's inside, but judging from the deformation of the wheels, there shouldn't be many things loaded inside.

Xiu Er led Duck and Mia to stand outside the door, and the giant vehicle was parked inside the door. The two sides stopped facing each other, and neither of them made any rash moves.

"I don't think blocking other people's doors is a commendable behavior." After a moment of confrontation, Shuer sighed and drew circles on his chest with his fingers. "The Lord said...well, I haven't made it up yet, but let's make way. How about driving?"

"I think it's a good idea. At least you don't have to worry about this thing coming over and crushing us to death." Duck compared his own height and the car on the other side. Well, the Nightmare Beast was not as high as the front of the car on the other side. "I think If there's a body collision in a head-on charge, I can't hit it."

"I don't believe it, why don't you try it?"

"I'd better try it on you. Do you want to fight again?"

"Can you two be quiet for a while? In seven days, just seven days after meeting, you two have had six official duels, and 38 daily fights. You can even get into fights over bets on the color of other people's underwear." Mia really couldn't stand it anymore. , scolded with a straight face, "I know that you are quarreling now because you are nervous, and you want to take the opportunity to adjust your mentality. The question is, can't you find some more serious reasons to quarrel?"

Yes, both Shur and Dark were a little nervous.

The three of them are now trying to see if they can enter the fortress. Although Dak has been there before, it is not a formal way. Shuer needs to know whether he can enter the fortress from the gate through a regular way. This does not matter whether the team behind him can enter the fortress. Get a safe and well-maintained camp, and you can also see how important your own image or body structure is in the judgment of the fortress control system.

It is the first time for both of them to enter the projection of another world, and it is also the first time to come into contact with the artificial creations in the projection of another world. Coupled with the combat effectiveness shown by the fortress just now, especially the powerful bomb, it is enough to defeat the gold-level people. When warriors pose a threat, everyone will inevitably feel uneasy.But the two of them, especially Shuer, must not show uneasiness or nervousness. They can be anxious, angry, and contemptuous, but they cannot be nervous. Once the leader shows fear and nervousness, the impact on the entire team will be immeasurable. , so the two of them could only keep bickering to adjust their mentality. It wasn't that their personalities were incompatible, well, it was definitely not...

Even if the command was given up, the status of the employer was paramount. Since the employer had spoken, the two mercenaries had no choice but to shut their mouths pitifully, and the three of them obediently moved away from the entrance.Sure enough, as soon as it got out of the way, the metal vehicle made a low roar and began to move forward slowly. The wheels pressed against the uneven ground and bumped up and down, causing the ground to vibrate as if it followed the vehicle body.

Not only are there vehicles, but there are also humanoid creatures. However, it is not accurate to say that the creatures are humanoid puppets.

The six bodies are made of metal with sharp edges and corners. The lower half is a crawler chassis, and the upper half is a humanoid metal puppet. They followed the vehicle and left the camp. These puppets are taller than normal people. They are connected to different tools. Judging from the joints between the ends of the tools and the arms, the tools should be replaceable at any time. In other words, these puppets can manipulate various types of tools, and their functions are probably more common than that of a Parvatiga. Craftsmen are much better.

"There is no controller in the vehicle. It moves on its own." When the puppet passed by, Shuer waved with a holy smile and said, "Hi, hello."

"Tsk", a puppet's tracks stopped, and the puppet slowly turned its head.His two eyes were glowing red, and he felt like they were scanning his body. The nose was just a piece of metal protrusion. I don’t know if it was useful. The mouth was unnecessary. It could be fastened directly to the face and could be moved up and down like a mandible. metal plate replacement.

The red light swept over Shuer's body, and the metal plate that replaced the mouth moved, just like the opening and closing of the Parvatiga people's mouths when they spoke, and the sound quality was very strange, with strong artificial traces, and there was a little bit inside. There was no emotion at all, and a voice that did not resemble the pronunciation of a living thing came from the position of the puppet's head.

I talked a lot, but unfortunately, I couldn’t understand a single word.

"Well, you are right, but I didn't understand a word of it." Shuer continued to maintain the smile on his face, "Now we want to enter your fortress. You should not object. If you object, just shake your head. gone."

Of course the puppet didn't shake its head, and it didn't understand the language. How could it possibly do what Xiuer said? It just continued to make weird noises and another string of words of unknown meaning. "It didn't shake its head, which means it agreed." Shuer said seriously, "We can enter the fortress."

"Is it because there is no threat from the enemy that you feel uncomfortable with your free time?" Mia glared at Shuer sideways, "Would you like me to help you find something to do, such as deducting some compensation or something?"

"I'm not playing around. The Lord said, don't trespass on other people's territory. Respecting others means respecting yourself."

"Dark Moon Goddess really said that? You couldn't have made it up again, right?"

"I really said this." Indeed, many gods will make moral requirements for their believers. It is not surprising that such content appears in the holy scriptures. "I am a very devout believer and will never make up holy words casually." of."

Have you made up too little?Mia was too lazy to say anything, because the humanoid puppet in front of her waited for a while to make sure that Shuer would no longer talk to him, then turned around and left, as if this episode had not happened.After all, it's just a machine. If it were an intelligent creature, I'm afraid it wouldn't leave so easily.

The six puppets divided into two teams as soon as they went out. Four puppets followed the vehicle and walked towards the battlefield, while the other two puppets turned around and walked towards the excavation team.

"Everyone, get out of there." After frowning and looking at it, Shuer said loudly, "Come here and gather together, prepare to go in, don't block their way, they seem to be planning to repair the outer wall."

Indeed, when the excavation team fought against the worms with their backs against the outer wall just now, many worms also attacked the outer wall of the fortress. Although the outer wall was made of special alloy with high hardness, the worms' claws were so sharp that they could not even touch the metal. There are deep carvings left on the wall. It seems that if you give them time, they can really tear down this metal fortress with their flesh and blood.

Obeying the words, everyone got out of the way and watched as the two puppets walked to the damaged area. The original pliers and saws at the end of the arms retracted, and when they were re-stretched, they had been replaced by another strange and unknown tool.They each selected a mark, and the tools on the puppet's arms cooperated with each other to start repairing the wall. The working principle of the tools could not be seen, and only sparks could be seen flashing.But the effect is obvious. The damaged walls were quickly smoothed out after repairs, and finally became as smooth as when they were not damaged, with no trace of repairs visible at all.

On the other side, a huge vehicle drove into the original battlefield. Several discs protruded from the bottom of the vehicle. The discs should have strong magnetism. The metal warheads that penetrated into the soil and insect bodies were attracted by the discs. Breaking through the confinement, he flew towards the disc, and was brought into the carriage along the passage inside the disc, while four humanoid puppets assisted from the side. They seemed to know where the warheads were, and cut open the insect corpses that had stuck the warheads. Let the warhead be sucked into the car smoothly.From this point of view, the fortress has a self-sufficient production system that can produce ammunition independently. No wonder it can fire at the insect swarms without worrying about running out of ammunition.

"Let's go in too, I think everyone needs a good rest now." Shuer looked at a few scholars whose eyes were already shining, and snorted coldly, "No one is allowed to touch anything in the fortress until the situation is unknown. , especially you guys. The matter of causing everyone to fall into the projection of another world has not been investigated yet. If you cause any more trouble, don't blame me for throwing you out to feed the bugs. I think even with the kindness of my Lord, I won't They are against me doing this. Mia, please help keep an eye on them, I don’t want this trip to be in vain, I have to bring a few living people back."

"Yes, got it."

"Okay, get ready. Form a defensive formation in the same way as when you left the battlefield. The formation is reversed. The ordinary mercenaries are behind, and Dak and Saff are in front. Be careful to maintain restraint as much as possible. Even if you find abnormal behavior, don't attack rashly until Make a decision only after confirming the other party’s intentions.”

The more dangerous the environment, the more important it is to attack the enemy first. Therefore, mercenaries are barbed in non-safe areas. Once hostile behavior is discovered, they will directly fight back. Those who are killed deserve to be killed. Those who are not killed are asked about their intentions.

This is the key to the survival of the mercenaries. Shuer's order obviously goes against this principle, but even ordinary mercenaries can understand Shuer's concerns.We were already being chased by a wave of insects, and we finally found a shelter. And judging from the current situation, the other party was not hostile. What if some misunderstandings caused us to attack rashly and the other party regarded us as hostile targets? At that time, I was attacked from both sides by the insect swarm and the mechanical puppet, and I really couldn't even cry.In desperation, I can only restrain myself a little bit.

When I looked around, there was no one inside the gate. There was only an indoor passage leading to an unknown place. The passage was dark without a single light, just like the legendary monster with its mouth wide open.Several high-level mercenaries looked at each other, released their energy to protect their bodies, and cautiously walked into the fortress.
