Chapter 8

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in the forest.

Ying Chenlin suddenly felt a sense of crisis coming from behind. He directly collected the entire body of the sharp-toothed rat and subconsciously stepped back. The ground around him suddenly cracked open, and a huge green strip that sprang out from the depths of the forest cracked the ground.

The sudden situation made several people around react and they all looked at the thing.

A huge mutated vine, with green roots covered with barbs, sprang out of the forest at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by gusts of strong wind. It slammed into the ground, causing several cracks to appear on the ground. The vine was slow to pull out from the ground for two seconds, and then it looked down at the surrounding mechas.

A serious warning of 'pollution value exceeding the standard' popped up in the mecha's field of vision, and the red field of vision showed that the pollution value of this mutant vine was as high as 3500!

Nick was stunned. "3500 pollution value!? What kind of monster is this!?"

The vine did not give them time to react. After making a quick judgment, it immediately rushed towards Ying Chenlin's mecha. Ying Chenlin narrowly avoided the attack of the vines, and the next second the ground beside him was cracked into several pieces.

"In the woods!!" Nick shouted.

Ying Chenlin dodged the vines' attack again and looked in the direction Nick pointed. He saw several vines sprouting out of the dark forest and rushing straight towards them.

These things seemed to have emerged from deep within the contaminated area. It was obvious that their roots were not here. It seemed as if they were chasing something before emerging from the depths.

Ying Chenlin immediately thought of the swarm of rats that had just erupted. He was afraid that the real reason why those rats fled to the periphery was because of these things.

The attack came suddenly, and Nick and his companions didn't have time to react. They were knocked away by the vines and crashed into the building behind them. The mecha immediately popped up a wear and tear warning.

"Are you okay?!" Ying Chenlin asked.

Nick replied with difficulty: "This thing hurts too much, the front plate of my mecha is cracked!"

Ying Chenlin's eyes sank slightly. The attack power of this thing was very strong, which was completely on a different level from the high-level sharp-toothed rat just now... With the strength of the mecha he was driving now, he was afraid that it would not be able to withstand three attacks from this vine.

His eyes quickly scanned the various values ​​in the cockpit, briefly judging the remaining energy of the mecha.

This was a bit tricky. It would be fine if he was alone, but there were three mechas next to him whose energy was about to run out. The remaining mecha energy was only enough for him to attack or defend with all his strength for half an hour.

Just as Ying Chenlin was considering how to deal with it, a strange voice popped up in the distress channel, the voice was fast and stern: "Mecha JD1456M, retreat."

Suddenly,

An energy cannon from the rear passed over Ying Chenlin and hit the vine in front with a bang.

Ying Chenlinlin immediately seized the opportunity and used the thunder and magnetic cannon to control the vines. The controlled vines were unable to retreat and were hit hard by two energy cannon shots.

"12 o'clock." The voice in the distress channel sounded again.

Ying Chenlin activated the light knife and hit the vine behind him with a backhand strike. The next second after he hit it, another energy cannon from behind hit the vine and directly broke it.

With one more person in the team, Ying Chenlin's worries were alleviated a little. He did not waste the opportunity. After the opponent blasted back the vines, he rushed forward and cut off several vines with two knives.

In the back, the injured Nick finally reacted and found a weak mecha signal appearing on the edge of the radar map, "Brother, are you from the rescue team?"

Before he could finish his words, the vines, having lost their fire suppression, went crazy again.

Ying Chenlin: “9 o’clock!”

The new mecha warrior in the channel didn't hesitate and immediately fired a shot in support, hitting the vine directly.

Ying Chenlin switched to a lightsaber and stepped forward. The lightsaber covered with energy became extremely sharp and immediately cut off the scattered vines on the side.

"Can it be cut off?" asked a strange voice.

"The branches can be cut off, but the two main branches can't be cut off." Ying Chenlin said, and saw new stems and leaves sprouting from the broken ends of the cut vines, "...it can regenerate!"

The strange voice said: "The body of this thing is not here."

Those are vines extending from the mountains and forests, and the real main part is in the deep area of ​​​​Banut.

There are two main vines, and the rest are the stems and leaves derived from them. These severed stems and leaves can regenerate quickly over time, so they cannot be completely cut.

No one else in the channel dared to say a word. Hearing the conversation between the two people, Nick's mind became even more confused. They could not join the battle in front of them at all. The vine was swung at an extremely fast speed, and their reaction speed could not keep up at all. ◎

"What should we do with this thing if it can regenerate?!"

"We can't kill them all. Once we run out of energy, we're done."

Renewable pollutants... this is not something that can be dealt with easily.

Amid the anxious voices of others, Ying Chenlin suddenly asked, "Weapons."

The strange voice paused for a moment, then said: "The main weapon is the sniper cannon, and the secondary weapon is the energy cannon."

Ying Chenlin: "You didn't bring any control weapons?"

The strange voice said decisively: "No."

Nick became even more panicked, so their current combat power is limited to three cannons and a knife! ? The only controlled weapon is a short-range magnetic cannon...How to deal with this thing! ?

The B-class mecha has a very obvious shortcoming, which is that the attack capabilities of the two weapons it carries are relatively weak. Ying Chenlin originally chose this mecha because it has a control weapon, the thunder and magnetic cannon, and an attack weapon, the light blade. These are no problem to deal with small pollutants... but it does not mean that it can deal with the one in front of it.

He is a melee mecha, while the opponent is a ranged mecha.

But with two more long-range weapons, the meaning is different.

Ying Chenlin saw that Nick and the others had evacuated to a safe place on high ground, so he said, "You take the lead and I will assist you and set up the sniper gun."

The strange voice paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Are you sure you want to use the sniper cannon as the main attack? I remember that you only carried a lightsaber and a thunder cannon, and no protective weapons."

"I am sure."

The B-class mecha flew out the next second, holding a lightsaber in one hand and a thunderbolt cannon in the other, and struck the vine head-on.

In the distance, on an abandoned building somewhere in the deep area of ​​Banut, a gray mecha was perched high up in the building. The surroundings were all ruins covered with green plants. The gray mecha switched its weapons and set up a sniper gun. A scene of a battle in the mountains and forests appeared in the field of vision.

In the cockpit, the man in the gray coat had a stern face and operated the sniper gun to charge without hesitation.

He looked at the melee mecha in his field of vision with great interest. After about 3 seconds, the energy fluctuations in front of the sniper gun emitted a huge amount of heat.

The next second, the sniper cannon turned into a ray of light!

In the forest, Ying Chenlin seemed to have caught something and fired a thunder and magnetic cannon at the vine. Using the recoil of the thunder and magnetic cannon, the entire mecha flew upwards, avoiding the sniper cannon fired from the air far away.

Boom—Ying Chenlin immediately cut off the light knife after the residual power dissipated, and made another cut with a clean move, saying in a cold voice: "Continue."

The man laughed and his hands moved quickly and decisively.

The initial wave of cooperation was all about him cooperating with the melee mecha.

But from the moment the sniper gun was set up, the main attack order changed. This was in the wild without any protection, and his attacks would also hit other mechas. The sniper gun was faster and had a stronger attack capability.

The B-class mecha's movements were not wasted at all. It used the charging time of the magnetic cannon and the brief repulsive ability of the lightsaber to give him perfect control and create a chance to hit him.

Inside that B-class mecha, there is a mecha pilot with excellent operational awareness.

On the building, the gray mecha's sniper cannon was charging again.

The man said, "6 o'clock."

The next sniper shot came in response, Ying Chenlin stepped back to avoid it, and hit the vine again.

The cooperation between the two, one in front and one behind, showed an inexplicable tacit understanding in the simple reporting of points.

Nick and the other two who were hiding behind an abandoned building were stunned. They saw the sniper cannons in the distance constantly attacking here, while the B-class mechas in the attack range avoided the attacks again and again.

Due to this kind of fire suppression, the regeneration ability of the two vines was obviously slowed down. As high-level pollutants, they had simple intelligence. With the uninterrupted attack, the vines retreated ten meters deeper.

After 5 minutes, the vines finally couldn't stand the firepower and suddenly shrank back into the depths.

The sniper fire stopped, and Ying Chenlin stopped as well.

At the same time, Ying Chenlin noticed that the signal of the remote mecha disappeared from the radar interface and also exited the channel voice.

Ying Chenlin's eyes darkened slightly as he looked into the depths of the dangerous Banut contaminated area, as if thinking about something.

After a long while, Nick and the others finally reacted after noticing that the gunfire had stopped. They popped their heads out from behind the building and asked quietly, "...Is it over?"

There was no recovery in the channel, and Nick and others emerged from the foul white smoke.

At this time, people from the Contaminated Area Management Bureau who had noticed the artillery fire in the contaminated area arrived late. They first noticed the distress signals from Nick and others, and when they rushed over, they only saw the mess everywhere.

"The deep area is very dangerous, retreat now!" said the rescue team leader.

Nick was relieved when he saw the rescuers coming: "Great! You are finally here."

The rescue team members gasped when they saw the remains: "How many of you are there? Did you kill all these sharp-toothed rats?"

"There are three of us here, and there's a mecha downstairs... and a brother from your rescue team." Nick hadn't finished his words when he suddenly noticed that there were only burnt vines left on the devastated battlefield. The B-class mecha was nowhere to be seen, and the signals of the two mechas in the distress channel had also disappeared.

Nick: "...Where's my big brother!?"

Next to them, the people from the Administration fell into deep thought. They stood together, looking at the detection system thoughtfully. Before noticing the exchange of artillery fire, they detected a momentary report of high pollution values, with the data reaching 6,000, but when they rushed over, they only saw the pile of sharp-toothed rat corpses and no other sources of pollution.

"Have sharp-toothed rats appeared here?" asked the person from the Administration.

A mecha master casually said, "Not only that, there was also a high-level sharp-toothed rat that was killed by the boss who rescued us."

Seeing this, the people from the Administration Bureau asked anxiously, "High-level sharp-toothed rat!? Where's the body?"

Nick realized something was wrong. He noticed that the people in the management bureau looked strange. "... Crystal? It seems to have fallen, but that sharp-toothed rat was only B-level. My brother killed it in two shots."

"Are you sure?" the person from the Administration asked again.

Nick nodded: "Are you sure? Otherwise, how could we deal with it? Look how miserable we are."

The rescue team member waved to another one, who quickly left with the communicator.

After saying that, Nick followed his friend to deal with the mecha, looking back as he walked.

Friend: "What's wrong Nick, is your neck hurting?"

Nick covered his mouth and said, "Keep your voice down and don't talk nonsense. Don't tell them about Big Brother's affairs."
