The hand rises and the knife falls.
Along with the knife fell the head of a strange beast with its eyes open.
Bright red blood spurted out from the neck. This should have been a perfect kill, but unfortunately it was not.
Because the remaining four heads of the strange beast were still staring at Liu Xiaoheng.
He heard a researcher's roar:
"I told you not to chop off their heads. On average, these beasts have 2.7 heads, but no beast has two bodies. If you want to kill one with one strike, you have to chop off the body. Do you understand what efficiency means?"
Liu Xiaoheng felt that this person was a bit noisy, so he moved his eyes to adjust the volume of the speaker next to his ear.
At the same time, his hand movements changed, and the long blade that had been swung down changed direction at the side of his body, making a faint buzzing sound, and with a upward thrust, the strange beast was completely cut in half.
Today is May 10th, 53rd year of the New Era, and a small beast tide has arrived on the north side of Hope City.
Just like Lin Qingliu insisted on plucking the wool of the mycelium ecology every day, the mycelium ecology also occasionally created some traditional strange beasts to attack humans.
Such an attack actually cannot cause any damage to either side, and it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or fails.
But experience is very important for both humans and monsters.
Both sides of the war were gearing up for the battle, and the offensive and defensive battles that took place on the city walls from time to time were as common as a training ground for both sides to adjust their weapons.
The mycelium gained experience from this and went back to improve its increasingly cheap exotic beasts.
The human side finally decided to publicly release the new weapons and sent Liu Xiaoheng and others into the battlefield for the first time.
Of course, the slightly crazy designer from the research institute also came with the five of them. This guy was now observing the battlefield situation with a telescope a hundred meters behind them, and he would give instructions to the five people from time to time.
But what this guy said always made sense. Following his method, the efficiency of killing monsters was indeed improved. The only problem was that this guy might be a little too radical.
After training together, or rather testing together for a few days, Liu Xiaoheng also vaguely heard about the life experience of this slightly crazy researcher.
To put it simply, he was an ordinary researcher who suddenly came up with many practical weapon ideas after his family members died while serving in the city defense force.
While most of his ideas were more like torture instruments than weapons, it was undeniable that they were useful.
Seeing another strange beast pouncing towards a soldier, Liu Xiaoheng stepped on the ground and activated the short-range propulsion device attached to his back.
He felt a burning sensation in his waist, and at the same time his body rose into the air forward.
He twisted his body as much as he could, flipped in the air, and at the same time nailed the head of the strange beast, which looked like a giant bear, to the ground with one knife.
"Bang!"
His exoskeleton landed perfectly, but the shock absorption system was still not perfect. The sudden impact caused his body to delay for less than a second.
"Your mother..."
Hearing the researcher's angry shout again, Liu Xiaoheng remembered that he seemed to be still chopping heads, just in a different direction. This wouldn't do.
He immediately straightened up, gripped the hilt of the knife again, and slashed forward fiercely. The feeling of torn flesh passed through the weapon and into his mind through the mecha.
With just one swing, the strange beast was completely cut into two halves, with only the front half of the head connected.
The roar from the loudspeaker suddenly disappeared.
Liu Xiaoheng laughed inwardly, then took the initiative to turn on the microphone:
"There seems to be some problem with the shock absorption. The landing just now made me feel nauseous.
"Also, can the insulation be improved? It feels like frying meat when using the thrusters."
The voice on the other end of the line seemed to shift from one extreme to another, becoming very calm and steady:
"It has been recorded. It is expected that the adjustment will be completed tomorrow. You can try again then."
The impact range of a small beast tide generally only corresponds to a few kilometers of city walls, but the addition of new weapons has completely changed the current battlefield.
These individual soldiers who were thrown directly onto the city wall caused a great sensation among the city defense forces at the beginning.
If the metallic texture on the surface wasn't so obvious, they would almost subconsciously focus their fire on this big guy.
Their landing point happened to be the center of the battlefield between monsters and humans. The next moment after confirming the direction, they launched a charge towards the enemy.
Weapons like flamethrowers are not suitable for the current situation, and even the researchers cannot confirm the reactions of the monsters after being ignited.
If they choose to charge forward regardless when set on fire, the number of casualties will increase significantly.
Therefore, in this battle, the five experimenters were only allowed to use cold weapons, which was of course exactly what they wanted to do.
The high-frequency vibrating blade cuts through the body of a low-level monster like a hot knife cutting through butter.
Using a chainsaw at least results in bone snagging and flesh splattering, but this weapon does even better in that regard.
After killing a strange beast, one can continue to swing the sword seamlessly without having to worry about getting stuck, which brings a huge advantage to the experimenter on the battlefield.
Such a scene made the soldiers who were blocking the rear excited, and they couldn't wait to pick up cold weapons and join the battlefield.
But this was not a fighting method that suited them after all, so everyone started firing cold shots from behind even more vigorously.
With the taunts of the five individual soldiers, the monsters quickly locked on their targets and these guys even ignored the bullets shot at them.
So a temporary victory came as a matter of course.
A wave of beasts was cleared away, but the sky suddenly became dark.
Everyone looked up and saw that dense gray dots had appeared in the originally bright sky.
Those were the falling suicide bombers. Now that the alien beasts had withdrawn from the city walls, they began a round of carpet bombing.
Inner city, headquarters.
There were not many people in the empty room. In order to better defend, Arthur had delegated the command authority to a certain extent. The city walls that were attacked could now make decisions more quickly, including applying for various types of support, without having to go through layers of approval as before.
But Ji Yongxing still stood here, staring at the battlefield intently. He had to prepare for some unexpected events.
Sure enough, the scene he least wanted to see appeared. Suicide bugs rained down from the sky, and there were less than ten seconds left before they hit the ground.
Ji Yongxing already has a certain plan for this kind of probabilistic attack, but it has not yet been put into use due to the research and development cycle.
Now is the best time to test it.
"【Sky Curtain】!"
"I am here!"
"Shoot them down."
