Chapter 200
Chapter 200
The pressure from his ankles was enormous, and Ying Chenlin's vision was completely blocked by the red-eye pollutants in front of him. At the moment when half of his body was submerged in the snow, he quickly switched his left and right hands, switching the energy cannon in his hand into a space staff. He suddenly swung the staff horizontally, which reduced the time it took for the entire mecha to be pulled down.
The space staff sank into the snow layer, Ying Chenlin's eyes turned cold, and he felt pain in his right shoulder.
The contaminant riding on him was actually gnawing at the right shoulder of his mecha! ?
At the same time, You Su approached rapidly from the side, and the sniper gun faced Ying Chenlin at close range. He aimed the muzzle at the pollutant attached to Ying Chenlin and fired fiercely. The red-eyed pollutant was attacked at close range, and after a roar, he glared at You Su next to him with red eyes.
While he was being bitten, Yuan's voice continued to respond: "The outer layer of the mecha is being damaged, and the outer defense system is under increasing pressure."
"After analysis, the outer layer of defense collapsed in 20 seconds."
20 seconds! ? Such strong destructive power?
You Su grabbed Ying Chenlin's free hand and kicked away the contaminant on Ying Chenlin's body, "Left!"
Ying Chenlin leaned to the left without hesitation. You Su, who was above the snow layer, fired a shot at the black shadow to his lower left. Taking advantage of the gap, You Su took Ying Chenlin and flew upwards to escape the ambush of the pollutant in the snow layer.
The two mechas escaped from the snow ambush. The pollutants in the snow disappeared without a trace, but the red-eyed pollutants hovered diagonally in front of them.
At this time, they could clearly see what the pollutant looked like. It was snow-white all over, with scarlet pupils, and looked very similar to the group of snow foxes... The only difference was in the limbs of the pollutant. Its limbs were nothing like the lean, strong and flexible four legs of the snow fox. Instead, they were thick and large, and even its body was stretched and swollen, presenting a weird sense of disharmony.
Ying Chenlin felt this strange feeling until he saw the tip of the fox's toes. The edges of its claws seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow, and its entire body fit harmoniously into the snow.
In the cockpit, Theo looked at the strange-looking fox in front of him and said, "Yousuo, my detection system is affected by a special magnetic field and cannot perform detection and analysis. But the magnetic field around this pollutant is very strange, weaker than many pollutants I have seen."
The fox seemed to notice them as well, its teeth were wide open and saliva was dripping out.
Looking at Ying Chenlin Yousui, it was as if he was looking at his prey.
At this time, the fox floating above the snow moved again. Its body was as free as the wind and it disappeared from the sight of the two in an instant. It was difficult to capture any unusual situations in the snowy field of vision. You Su stared closely at the direction where the fox disappeared. The next second, there seemed to be a slight breeze in the snow. Before You Su could capture the change, the disappeared foxes reappeared in front of them, and the number had increased from one to three!
This fox can actually transform into three identical foxes! ?
The gravity in the snowy mountain area seemed to have no effect on it. The moment the three foxes appeared, they attacked towards Ying Chenlin and You Su at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.
The two of them switched to the energy cannon tacitly, and the energy cannon scattered shells at close range in a covering manner in the direction of the foxes. The scattered shells passed through two of the shadow foxes. Ying Chenlin locked onto the entity at once. When he fired the energy cannon in the direction of the foxes, the number of foxes in his field of vision increased from 3 to 6, and from 6 to 9.
You Su shouted coldly: "Ying Chenlin, retreat!"
The shell passed through the original 'real' fox. Ying Chenlin quickly retreated after a missed shot. The next second, three foxes pounced on the place where he was originally hovering, making a big hole in the snow. If he had been a second later, he would have been the one to be pounced on.
This fox can actually change its shadows freely during battle and move freely among these shadows.
In such a situation, it is difficult for them to correctly distinguish which one is the real pollutant, let alone attack it.
"The group of snow foxes before were shadows created by it." Ying Chenlin frowned.
This fox's ability is probably not limited to creating its own shadow, it can also create shadows of other pollutants. Among the hundreds of snow foxes they saw, there were probably only dozens of real ones, and the rest were all phantoms created by this shadow fox. The purpose was to use the group of snow foxes to create a sense of pressure of a comprehensive ambush.
The Shadow Fox seemed to be very good at this kind of attack, using its lower-level drive to gather large amounts of pollutants, and then using the phantoms of these pollutants to hunt for itself.
...smart and cunning.
The superpower is shadow and the attack method is minions.
Ying Chenlin simply judged the attack ability of the pollutant from the position where his right shoulder was bitten. He could not get close to it, as it would be easy for him to be dragged to death by it. If he wanted to deal with it, he could only judge its entity. It was useless against its shadow, so he could only defeat the entity.
...The difficulty of dealing with the Shadow Fox is only one of the reasons. They also need to solve the problem of the strange magnetic field. Without the ability to solve the magnetic field, the completely out-of-control mecha system cannot bring them any help.
Thinking of this, Ying Chenlin's attention fell on his feet.
Ever since he floated to a certain height, the pollutant lurking underground has stopped attacking him. If the shadow is the pollutant's special ability, then what about the out-of-control magnetic field? Is it the influence of the shadow range of Shadow Fox, or is it caused by the pollutant underground?
Thinking of this, Ying Chenlin suddenly flew down and stopped on the snow.
You Su noticed the movements of the white mecha not far away, "Ying Chenlin?"
"We have to lure it out." Ying Chenlin dodged the Shadow Fox's attack in a few moves. His eyes stopped on the snow-white ground. He noticed from the faint vibration of the thick snow that something seemed to be moving quickly underground.
There was no follow-up to the conversation between the two. The moment You Su's energy cannon pierced through the shadow fox's phantom, something moving underground broke through the snow layer and suddenly passed through the ground and grabbed towards Ying Chenlin.
Ying Chenlin was waiting for this moment. His energy cannon bombarded the ground. Something in the thick smoke was moving even faster, like plant roots that broke through the smoke layer and tied up Ying Chenlin's feet.
"8 o'clock!" Yuan's voice continued.
Ying Chenlin adjusted the position of the energy cannon and fired, knocking away the attacking roots, while the roots that bound his feet pulled him down. Ying Chenlin calmly bombarded the plant roots with energy cannons. When the strength of the pollutants was slightly reduced, he took the initiative and grabbed the roots of the pollutants first, causing the mecha to crash to the ground.
Caught——
Ying Chenlin's eyes turned slightly cold. While grabbing the pollutants, his energy cannon did not stop, bombarding the big pit where the roots emerged one after another. These roots seemed to be annoyed by Ying Chenlin's actions, and more and more roots emerged from the ground.
The attack speed of the pollutants was getting faster and faster. Ying Chenlin calmly dealt with and blocked these roots while suddenly noticing that the movement next to him was getting farther and farther away, and the foxes were not coming over. His eyes fell on the subtle jumping figure in the white screen. Without asking, he immediately knew the reason: You Su had led the fox away. ﹌
It seems like this every time.
When cooperating with You Su, the other party knew what he wanted to do without him having to explain much.
Yuan noticed Ying Chenlin's hesitation: "Chenlin?"
"It's okay." Ying Chenlin blasted away another root that was coming over. A big hole had been blasted out in the snow by him, and he put other thoughts behind him.
But he couldn't waste the time that You Su gave him, he wanted to try out what this thing was.
The snow curtain covered the two mechas, and the increasingly thick snow fog completely separated the two mechas. The energy cannons of the gun mechas scattered several shadows, and Shadow Fox's attention was all on him.
"It looks like there's plant-based contaminants underground!"
Theo responded quickly, "You Su, don't we need to help him? He looks like he's about to be dragged in."
In the cockpit, the man heard Theo's voice without any change. When the medical mecha left his sight, the surrounding sounds seemed to become quieter and quieter, so quiet that he could no longer hear the voice of the medical mecha. "Shut up."
Not long after Theo turned on the phone, his master yelled at him, "You're so fierce, Yousu. You've become more and more fierce lately!"
It then changed its tone: "Are you in menopause?"
"Is it also a contaminant from the border?" Theo continued, "It doesn't know how to use such a good ability. It is much weaker than the shadow at the beginning."
When mentioning the shadow, You Su's expression darkened a little, "Not well yet?"
Theo's complaints continued, but its body was also running fast. All systems seemed to cater to the master. When You Su's powerful mental power surged over, its body ran to the extreme. A large number of special systems were shut down at this time, and only the sound detection system was left in the entire mecha.
You Su: “Accuracy: 5 meters.”
Theo: “Open it!”
The gun mecha's thrusters were controlled to the extreme. The special gravity environment of the snow mountain seemed to have no effect on him. He was positioning himself every time he landed. The movement of the mecha landing was extremely light every time. After the medical mecha left him, the sound of the thrusters seemed to be reduced to the extreme.
It's not just visibility, but even the sound disappears once you leave a certain range.
When You Su was touching the ground in his mecha, fox shadows coming from the snow curtain attacked him from all directions. He did not immediately open the energy cannon to scatter the fire, but waited for the group of foxes to gradually approach. Just when the shadow fox was only 3 meters away from him, You Su heard something from the quiet sound. The next second, the energy cannon suddenly adjusted its direction and the energy cannon hit the fox.
A howl broke out after the hit, and the surrounding shadows disappeared instantly.
The Shadow Fox lay crouched on the ground, seemingly not expecting that the mecha master in front of it could actually hit it.
After hitting the target, You Su recharged his gun again and aimed the muzzle towards Shadow Fox.
When Shadow Fox saw this situation, the shadows around him became more and more numerous, but You Su remained indifferent. He hated the feeling of being led astray by one's own cleverness, especially when the pollutants were being clever in front of him and wanted to control humans before their hair had even grown fully.
Pollutants are pollutants. People will learn to restrain their actions, but pollutants will not.
Shadows don't make any sound, but foxes do. This sound is so subtle that they think they have the intelligence to control the weak.
The prey will not restrain its attacking movements at all. A shadow is just a shadow, but it will use its claws to hurt people. The movement of its jump and the direction of its swing, in this completely silent space, simply expose its weaknesses.
The sound changed in just a few seconds, and the energy cannon in his hand hit the shadow fox again, blasting the entire fox to a farther distance.

In the snow-capped mountains covered by a blizzard, several mechas were stuck in the mountains, and their flight was greatly affected.
Luxi's spider silk played a role at the critical moment. The moment she was blown away by the blizzard, she cut into spider silk cannons and fired several shots at her teammates. She barely pulled Chi Liz who was beside her, and prevented Chi Liz from drifting away alone.
Wen Yi reacted faster. His sniper cannon could bring a freezing effect. In the white snow, he used the freezing to slow down the speed at which people around him were blown away.
Fortunately, they were blown by the wind and snow and crashed into the nearby snow-capped mountains. The group of five people were scattered around, and the places where they landed were not far from each other. After gathering together, they found that the blizzard covering their heads showed no signs of stopping.
Hu Luobu: "Old Zhao and the others are still in the pit. Ying Chenlin and You Su may have been blown to another direction."
Except for Qi Sicheng and Ji Qingfeng who were far away in the snow-capped mountains several kilometers away, their 10 mechas were completely disassembled. The four mechas of Black Crow and YDS were all here, plus KID's Luxi, a group of five people, no one was left behind.
However, the mecha communication radars collapsed across the board, and they were unable to determine the locations of their teammates.
After the five people gathered, Hu Luobu suggested going back to the big pit and meeting up with Zhao Lejie and the other two first.
The snow on the mountain was getting heavier and heavier, everyone's vision was blank, and the cracks in the mecha were covered with a thick layer of snow. The snow-capped mountains in the distance seemed to have completely disappeared. All they could see were each other's mechas. Nothing beyond three meters could be seen clearly.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to leave for a while." Colin looked up at the blizzard sweeping around them. They seemed to be in the core of the blizzard. "The snow is blowing around us."
All those present were experienced mecha masters, and when Colin said this, they also understood what was going on.
At this moment, everyone seemed to notice a slight change in the wind and snow. Colin released the conductive chain ball in his hand first. His conductive chain ball was almost invincible in close combat. The chain ball could be gathered or dispersed. These chain balls were instantly swept into the wind and snow as soon as they were released. The next second, the chain ball seemed to hit something, and a flash of lightning passed in the snow.
At this time, Hu Luobu raised the tracking cannon and fired in the direction of the lightning, and immediately hit a huge monster.
The monster howled when it was hit, and they heard a sound similar to the flapping of bird wings in the wind and snow. Then the wind and snow blew violently in their direction, directly blowing the five mechas into the mountain.
Lu Xi quickly wrapped the spider silk around everyone to prevent them from getting separated in the flying snow. When he looked up, he saw a completely white snowbird flying high in the sky, with small whirlpools of wind around its wings.
When the Dawn people locked onto it, it immediately flapped its wings, and a large amount of wind and snow violently attacked the five mechas!
Gravity and the snowy environment had already had a huge impact on them. Wen Yi, Hu Luobu, and Chi Liz were all long-range mechas, and the difficulty of attacking in the snowy wind increased greatly. They didn't have any tank mechas around them, so in the end, there were only Lu Xi and Ke Lin who were in control.
This combination could kill other pollutants violently, but now many of their systems have failed and they have to rely entirely on experience to fight.
"We will be exhausted to death here if this continues." Hu Luobu said quickly: "The mecha's endurance is limited. If it continues to attack us like this, our defense may collapse first."
"We have no choice but to meet up with them first. We have to deal with this thing." Wen Yi looked at Ke Lin, "Can your conductive chain ball and Lu Xi's spider silk cooperate to achieve the maximum control surface?"
Lu Xi nodded: "I will follow your instructions, but the net needs time, and it won't last long in the wind and snow."
"Just use the same method you used against us in the seabed."
Colin took back all the chains and said, "You make the net and I'll release the chains."
They couldn't fly, so they could only weave a huge net to catch the giant bird in the sky.
Moreover, this control chain cannot be destroyed. It won’t take too long. What they need to do is to capture the position of the bird in the wind and snow, and leave the rest to the other three remote mechas.
Wen Yi fired several sniper shells at his feet, and the resulting icicles fixed several of their long-range mechas, "Let's buy some time."
Without tackling this pollutant, they can't move forward.
It is true for them, and also for their teammates who don’t know where they are.
Lu Xi was a little worried: "Are Brother Huo and the others okay?"
"Don't worry, they have two shields and Lin Yao over there." Hu Luobu adjusted the accuracy of the tracking cannon: "The strongest shields of Dawn are over there. Even if they can't beat us, they will hold out until we get there. Instead of worrying about them, we should worry about ourselves."
Ke Lin and Wen Yi felt a sense of urgency. This pollutant could cause such a large-scale attack effect, so its level must be not low... This polluted area is full of strong teams, and there are also many teams in the snow mountain area. If they can't solve this pollutant as soon as possible, the situation they will face next will be even more difficult.
If they are dispersed and surrounded by strong teams, it will not be a good thing at this stage.
There is only one thing we can do now, get rid of this bird and gather together with our teammates before others notice anything unusual.

Outside the Slarede defense line, inside the Dawn spacecraft.
When they caught the major teams moving away, they also noticed that two mechas of their own team were heading towards the nearest base station in the snow-capped mountains. Everyone on the Dawn spacecraft no longer dared to relax.
The sense of oppression brought by the coordinates of the powerful team's mobile mecha is gradually deepening, but they have no way to do anything now. They can't notify the Dawn's mecha division, nor can they determine the coordinates of the mecha division.
The Black Crow leader: "What a coincidence, right? They were originally so far away from us, how could they notice us?"
Besides, the amount of information obtained from the outside is not equal to that from the inside. It is impossible for the mecha inside to detect the disappearance of the Dawn team’s signal so quickly, let alone move in their direction so quickly... ? Is it because of their Dawn Mecha, or are there other unknown circumstances happening silently?
"It's not a coincidence." Shen Xingtang, who was reading the information, frowned and said, "Their information is faster than ours."
Brother Zhang looked back in confusion: "How did they get the information?"
Shen Xingtang blocked all the redundant signals on the radar system and tuned in the targets of the high-speed moving mechas. When she discovered that these mechas were moving towards the snow-capped mountains, she noticed that their reaction speed was faster than theirs. This investigation revealed that these mechas had passed by the base station more or less not long ago.
The base station is where the signal is the strongest. By entering the base station, you can contact the external logistics team.
These strong teams did not enter the base station, but they all passed by the base station more or less within a certain period of time.
"They didn't enter the base station, but they should have used it to place enhanced signal devices."
Shen Xingtang guessed: "This is not a competition-level contaminated area. No one will consider the fairness of combat readiness. The reason why the strong teams are strong is not only because their mecha operators are strong, but also because the equipment they carry is better than ours."
"The information conveyed by the Star Alliance system is limited. Other external logistics teams have the same starting point as us." Jiang Simiao is retrieving information. "What we can't do, the strong teams have more powerful information support, weapons, radar systems, detection systems... The gap will become larger and larger."
The signals of Dawn's mechas disappeared. The strong team is not blind and will definitely notice the problem.
The logistics team discovered that the mecha signal had disappeared outside the Slarede defense line, and conveyed it to the strong team inside through some means or technology. The strong team headed towards the coordinates where the Dawn team disappeared as soon as they received the information.
Dawn was at a complete disadvantage. All their actions seemed free, but in fact they were all under the surveillance of a strong team.
The staff member asked, "When Captain Qi went to the base station, could it be that he noticed the information asymmetry problem?"
Ji Feng also brought something like a signal booster.
"Qi Sicheng is very smart. When the pace of a strong team increases, he will find problems." Shen Xingtang pondered, "Thanks to Qi Sicheng and Ji Qingfeng being outside, we didn't lose contact with all the mechas. Otherwise, we would really be in a completely passive situation."
But now their rhythm is also very passive. The strong teams have huge information networks. It is difficult for them to build an information network that is equivalent to the combat readiness of the strong teams relying solely on the enhancers carried by Qi Sicheng. They can only resolve some passiveness and buy more time for themselves. ↑
But apart from these, there are many other things that make them feel strange.
The strong team would monitor the changes within their predictable range. What puzzled Shen Xingtang was the movements of the strong team. Their method of using displacement to gather monsters not long ago was indeed an unconventional move, so it was normal for the strong team to notice it. But why would the strong team directly change direction and go to the snow mountain?
"They are also trying to get the S-level pollutants, right?" A staff member said, "Special pollutants are very attractive. Didn't GBK scheme against us in the past to grab special pollutants?"
Do the strong teams lack pollutant energy crystals?
Not bad, they may want special pollutant energy crystals more.
"No, it's still not right." The Black Crow leader said, "We are here in Slarede. There are a lot of unfinished high-score tasks in this area. The last thing they lack is S-level pollutants. If they want special S-level pollutants, they have everything in the task list."
Just one coordinate disappeared, and their own people almost thought it was a strategy of their own mecha divisions. How could they be so sure that it was a special pollutant?
What if this is really their Dawn strategy? Wouldn’t it be a wasted trip for the strong team? Instead of wasting a lot of time on the journey, they might as well use the time to clear out the special pollutants listed on the task list... Unless there is something that brings far greater benefits than those special pollutants, they would rather spend the time on the journey and go to the snow-capped mountains.
Shen Xingtang watched Qi Sicheng's coordinates getting closer and closer to the base station. Qi Sicheng should have noticed the movements of other powerful teams. What they could analyze must have been noticed by the mecha masters who had a clearer understanding of the situation in the contaminated area.
"It's bad, Boss Shen." The staff member suddenly said, "The fourth team of the Star Alliance, SLY, which was originally in the snowy mountains, has arrived near the coordinates where they disappeared, and is still 3 kilometers away from the coordinates!"
Brother Zhang was stunned: "So fast!?"
"SLY." Shen Xingtang said anxiously: "Is it their main team, or -"
The staff scanned the coordinates on the radar, which represented the special symbol of an S-class mecha. The mecha division ID [Alice] it belonged to said, "It's the main force. The leading mecha is the captain of SLY, Alice."
Among the white mountain snow, several mechas shuttled through the gravity environment, and finally stopped in the sky above a plain. The silent snowfield was motionless, as if nothing had happened, and there was not even any trace of a battle.
The light red mechas hovered and stayed just above the snowfield.
The entire mountain was covered with white snow. Several light red mechas suspended high in the sky did not move. They looked at the empty plain. There was no KID's mecha or other pollutants here.
Among a group of light red mechas, a guard mecha was located right in front of the others.
In the cockpit, the pretty woman looked at the white snowfield and raised her eyebrows with slight interest.
In the channel, the mecha master asked inquiringly: "Captain? There are no clues in this place."
"No clues? That's not necessarily true."
The woman leaned back slightly and marked a location on the coordinates: "Where are the guns? Try firing one."
As soon as the woman's voice fell, one of the gun mechas aimed at the snowfield, and the scattered energy cannons broke through the air and blasted into the snowfield.
After being submerged in layers of snow, the sound disappeared without a trace
, there was no response.
The woman tutted. "Interesting."
The author has something to say:
