Chapter 130 Hyena
"Bang!!"
A dull explosion sounded in the quiet forest. A few yellow leaves fell from the treetops in a slight vibration, and spun through the air, finally landing silently on the ground full of dead branches and rotten leaves.
A wisp of green smoke from the burning gunpowder rose from the black muzzle.
A little further away, the humming sound of the propeller and motor quickly dissipated, and the intermittent beeping of program errors followed.
"Good job."
A man with a stubble on his face held a copper pipe in his mouth, looking at the drone on the ground that kept making beeping sounds, grinning and revealing a slightly hideous smile.
He raised his right hand and gently patted the shoulder of the middle-aged man beside him, and said in a frivolous tone: "Brother, your mission is completed. I will pay you when I return to the dungeon."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man put down the old-fashioned gunpowder rifle in his hand and turned to look at the stubble man who was speaking.
He nodded happily: "Boss Shi, what you promised at that time should still count, right?"
"You have to give me triple the reward if you successfully shoot down the drone."
The bearded man's expression moved slightly when he heard this, but the smile on his face did not change at all: "Brother, do you want to take a closer look?"
"Your bullet hit the fuselage of the drone, and most of the valuable parts inside are broken."
"Forget about triple the reward, it's good enough that I don't ask you for compensation."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Boss Shi, you didn't say you had this requirement at the time."
The middle-aged man was obviously a little excited, his neck quickly turned deep red, and his voice became a little louder: "You only said to shoot down the drone!"
"If you have requirements for the shooting part, the basic reward will be different!"
Seeing that the bearded man didn't speak, the middle-aged man's voice became louder and louder, and even clenched the old-fashioned rifle in his hand: "Boss Shi, I'm really not fooling you."
"If you don't believe it, ask other salvagers after returning to the dungeon how many people can accurately shoot the wings of the drone!"
"These two are completely different prices!"
Boss Shi sighed deeply, and the smile on his face quickly dissipated: "Brother, if you don't give in like this, it's difficult for me to deal with it..."
The next moment after the voice fell, several companions who seemed to be sitting casually on the ground stood up silently from the ground.
Their positions were obviously carefully considered and trained-the middle-aged man's retreat had been completely blocked.
"You!!!"
Seeing himself being surrounded by the enemy, the middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and he quickly raised the rifle in his hand: "What do you want to do?!"
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and his original anger quickly turned into fear: "You, you are hyenas?!"
"The answer is correct, but there is no reward."
Boss Shi narrowed his eyes and replied with a chuckle.
"Damn hyena!"
The middle-aged man cursed in a low voice and hurriedly reached out to pull the bolt, but...
the young man who had been waiting on the side had already pulled the trigger.
Bang!
With the dull sound of gunfire, the middle-aged man's left hand, which was trying to pull the bolt, was instantly pierced by the bullet!
Looking at the missing half of his palm, the middle-aged man showed fear on his face and subconsciously let out a shrill howl.
But the next second, the howl stopped abruptly-another hyena bullied him, raised the sharp blade in his hand that flashed with cold light and gently wiped the middle-aged man's throat.
The middle-aged man whose trachea and aorta were cut lost his voice instantly. No matter how hard he tried, he could only make a "ho ho" sound.
Feeling the warm blood gushing out of his throat, the middle-aged man whose vitality was rapidly fading moved his lips, and his turbid eyes stared at the bearded man in front of him, and moved his lips to utter a silent curse.
Ha...
Boss Shi, who "understood" the meaning of the curse, showed a disdainful smile on his face.
If the curse was useful, he would have died in the dungeon more than ten years ago.
"Hurry, while it's hot." Boss Shi stretched out his hand and waved to the younger brother waiting on the side, "Take out all the goods we want, don't forget that those big guys are still waiting!"
He glanced at his left hand that was shattered by the bullet, and walked to the side with a look of regret: "What a pity, such a good hand..."
Listening to the sound of the sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood from behind, he closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and prayed silently with a pious look.
Buzz...
The faint noisy sound interrupted Boss Shi's thoughts.
"I'm lucky today." He kept praying, "From the sound, it seems that another drone has come?"
"Hurry up and try to bring another drone back to the dungeon."
"Come on, everyone, work hard. After this job is done, we can at least be comfortable for a year..."
Before he finished speaking, a sharp voice with a little tremor came from the side, interrupting his words: "Boss... It's not one, it's... a group!!"
A group?
Are you kidding?
Listening to the buzzing sound that was getting louder and heavier, Boss Shi quickly opened his eyes and looked up.
Through the not-so-dense leaves, the overwhelming drones were like a swarm of locusts, rushing towards them from the horizon!
After a moment of distraction, Boss Shi's calm face quickly became distorted: "Hurry!!"
"Pack your things! Run!"
...
A few minutes ago.
The huge crawler tracks slowly turned, carrying the giant bulldozer over 20 meters high, moving at a constant speed in the forest.
In front of the absolute power of the machine, any obstacles seemed pale and powerless.
A little further away, a large number of drones circled tirelessly in low altitudes, as if looking for something in the lush forest.
In the bulldozer control room.
The human pig Jolson put the dark red cutting wheel in front of his eyes, silently admiring the beautiful lines outlined by the bloodstains: "Boss, we are almost at the target area, haven't we found the group of rats yet?"
The people of the mechanical sect are a little crazy, this is a fact recognized by everyone.
The drugs used when transplanting mechanical prostheses will cause irreversible damage and stimulation to the nervous system of organisms.
Pride, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, lust...
These original sins hidden in the hearts of humans will be infinitely magnified by this special preparation called Nebula - the reason for this aesthetic name is mainly because the user often sees a vague nebula illusion in front of his eyes.
In fact, this is actually a manifestation of the erosion of the visual nervous system.
But even with such a huge side effect, this specially configured Nebula potion still has an irresistible temptation for the Mechanicus.
It can not only greatly reduce the body's rejection reaction to mechanical prostheses, but also increase the activity of the nervous system.
In other words, it can greatly reduce the "control delay" of mechanical prostheses.
No one in the Mechanicus can tolerate high-delay mechanical prostheses!
Just like no one wants to play games with a huge delay of thousands of pings.
Having said that, there are still obvious problems with Jolson's daily performance.
He is too crazy and too bloodthirsty!
Under normal circumstances, although the members of the Mechanicus are crazy, they will not show such obvious murderous intent to their companions!
Thinking back to the cutting wheel that was almost stuck to her face not long ago, Delphie suddenly felt a little scared - this madman... How many nebula potions did he take to suppress his body's rejection reaction? !
Less trouble is better than more trouble, she didn't want to die inexplicably at the hands of a madman.
So...
Although her heart was filled with disgust and disdain for the human pig in front of her, Delphie still swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible.
"Jolson, be patient."
A hoarse and heavy voice came from the console: "You have performed such a mission before, so you should know the habits of those rats better."
"Maybe they have been scared by the drones and the Hercules bulldozers and fled back to their burrows in panic."
"The order from above is to clear the rats in this area."
"If we can't find the entrance..."
In front of the console, the man called the boss slowly turned around, and a scarlet light flashed in his mechanical eyes that were obviously protruding from his face: "We may have to use this bulldozer to dig these rats out of the ground."
Jolson's face fell, and he waved his hand with a bored look.
"For the goddess' sake, don't do this!"
"I'm not here to dig holes as a free laborer!"
The man turned around without comment and cast his eyes at the console in front of him again.
Like Jolson, he didn't want to stay in this terrible forest for a few months - the humid air was not friendly to his body.
He even felt the moisture invading his joints!
I have to find time to add some lubricant.
Thinking of the little lubricant left, the man inevitably felt a little irritated.
"Beep!"
A crisp prompt sounded in his ears.
At the same time, a bright red light spot quickly appeared on the originally calm map.
This is a warning message that the drone has been attacked! !
Found it! ! !
The scarlet light in the man's mechanical eyes shone brightly, and the slight irritation that had just emerged in his heart disappeared immediately.
"Hahaha, goddess! These damn rats can't hold back anymore!"
Jolson's urging voice came from behind: "Boss, what are you still standing there for?"
"I can't wait to see these rats being torn apart by the cutting wheel!"
As he said, Jolson stretched out his blood-red tongue and gently licked his dry lips. The bloodthirsty light in his slightly narrowed eyes became more and more intense.
Listening to the humming sound of the cutting wheel running behind him, he reached out and gently pressed the metal button on the console.
The next second.
The drones hovering low in the distance turned around in unison and rushed towards the direction where the warning signal came from.
The giant bulldozer also quickly changed its direction of travel under the push of the tracks and rushed forward after the drone.
The seemingly slow-moving giant bulldozer began to accelerate under the tremendous energy provided by the fusion reactor!
