Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 131 130. Turn you into that ink spot on the black canvas!
There weren't many specially made armor-piercing bullets. After all, up to this point, Seifer hadn't properly replenished the ammunition in the vehicle, relying solely on the ammunition that came with it when it was loaded.

After all, I don’t use it very often. The last time I played it so hard, it was in the vision. I dared to play it like that because of the full recovery brought by the vision gate.

This is getting off topic. The two shells were fired one after the other, accurately predicting the opponent's prediction. One of them hit the sand and exploded, instantly creating a radial glowing crater.

The other bullet was affected by the irregular wind resistance and eventually deviated a little bit, piercing a track of the fleeing vehicle from top to bottom.

The track wheel flew off directly, and the track line became strange due to the impact. The car broke free from the broken track and slowed down to escape. At the same time, the warehouse door on the other side of the car body opened.

Two machines jumped out from it.

It has two legs and is about six meters tall, carrying heavy firepower against mobile strongholds.

As Cypher immediately analyzed its characteristics, Tien suddenly called out, "Boy, before you open fire, don't you have any other firepower or evasive preparations?"

"My head hurts right now. Have those idiots already unleashed their anti-armor firepower and aimed it at us?"

Saifu replied calmly, "No, we hit the other party's car, and they didn't have any weapons on board that could retaliate."

Without waiting for Tien to ask, he continued, "But the enemy has laid off two mobile suits. They're heading our way. Miyuki, you'll take control of the secondary guns that don't have automatic fire control."

Lin Shenxue, who no longer wanted to say that he was a senior mechanic instead of an all-round crew member, rolled his eyes, and resignedly transferred the shells from the rack to the automatic loading well, and then changed the cabin without stopping.

The opponent had no idea that there was a small thing cruising overhead. Two machines, one on the left and one on the right, drew two pretty beautiful arcs on the sand to sandwich them.

But to be honest, if this were an animation, the two of them could probably easily get close to the vehicle, then start dismantling it from the armor, all the way to penetrating the core components, completing the feat of dismantling the armored unit.

But in reality, the secondary guns on Cipher's vehicle...are a lot.

During the continuous pursuit, Sefer lowered the lookout tower, returned to the passage, and also found a secondary artillery fire point to prepare.

From the perspective of the reconnaissance plane, the two machines were approaching. Even when Seifer was setting up the machine gun, he could see two azure flight paths spreading towards him in the wind and sand.

The moment the enemy came into range, he pulled the trigger.

Along with the explosion of the heavy machine gun, other secondary guns, including two 76mm secondary guns, were firing in succession. The surging firepower was like a high-speed flowing river of metal.

In the night sky, the direction pointed by every ten tracer bullets is the spread of destruction!

The enemy locked in by the side fire instantly broke out in a sweat. This dense firepower was seriously inconsistent with the expected "small stronghold". The shells that fell into the air due to the distance and the irregular movements of both sides... were so powerful!
Some shells even have proximity fuses, so even if they don't hit directly, they will explode at close range and directly cover their aircraft.

Fortunately, the scratches from the shrapnel alone are not enough to disable the body.

The surging firepower made the two men feel a little scared. They wanted to get closer but were afraid that they would be crushed by the firepower.

But if you don't get close, the main gun shooter's accuracy is amazing, and who knows if the next shot will hit the main body of the stronghold where you are and explode inside.

While hesitating, the two men planned to report to the company, but they were unaware that a shot of special medicine was instantly injected into the blood vessels from the protective shell of the cockpit.

At that moment, an indescribable anger arose in their hearts. The surrounding environment and even the sounds were stretched out, and everything became extremely slow.

The two machines changed from their previous cautious appearance, their movements suddenly became fierce, and even their movement trajectories became inexplicably crazy.

Unpredictability increased, so much so that many close-in firepower instantly missed targets—in a fraction of a second. The fire control chip from the anomaly and the adjustments made to the automatic fire control system by the "experienced mechanic" were no joke!
The ample artillery fire was still being unleashed, especially in the direction of Cypher. The machine swerved and spun, occasionally even soaring into the air, spewing out dazzling crimson propulsion flames in mid-air.

Then he was hit by countless firepower. Under the impact of the noisy sound that could be heard at such a close distance, his body suddenly lost balance and fell heavily into the sea of sand.

More firepower surged up.

Accompanied by a series of indescribable explosions and the release of crimson energy caused by energy resonance, countless sands that also glowed with an ominous red light were thrown into the air, as if infecting more of the dark blue light and causing it to transform.

Seifer had no time to watch these abnormal energy releases. He used the firepower of the mobile base to directly smash the guys who overestimated their own capabilities here, while shifting his attention to the other side, to the machine behind the vehicle.

At the same time, the main guns opened fire again - still from the second battery.

The guys at that base were probably shivering. They had no real ability to fight back, and with only one of the two capable units left, how could they possibly fight?!

But if you say surrender... you absolutely cannot surrender.

Everyone who knows what kind of work they are doing knows that once they are caught by independent mercenaries, the other party will not even be able to exchange such a company for a bounty.

The independent mercenary support system regards them as mortal enemies!
The only solution now is to take out... that thing!

They still didn't realize that they had been clearly seen by the reconnaissance plane above their heads. The moment the tip of the missile appeared, Cypher discovered it.

But... although the distance has been shortened, how is that thing going to lock onto me given the huge heat radiation background in the desert?

And how can an artillery battle end with missiles? Can't we throw torpedoes or something like that?

Seifer suddenly turned around to look behind the car. The machine that was catching up with him in the blind spot behind the car seemed to be a torpedo.

A rather special kind.

At this point, I can't help but wonder why my body still can't be used. It's all because the operating logic in the anomaly is different from reality. The engine is just gone!
But the machine's blood-boiling mode seemed to be paused. It was just chasing from a distance. For some reason, it didn't even intend to use its weapons, which made it look like it was just slacking off.

...Wait a minute, I'm not slacking off. This thing is a long-range aiming device. Its function is to guide the missiles launched by that vehicle.

While he was thinking, the missile had already spewed out flames and smoke, but it was not the normal propellant used to attack armor, but a strange tail flame that was bright white.

——It looks very familiar, and I have used that level of familiarity not long ago.

Cypher saw at a glance that this wasn't the kind of thing that could cause a complete power outage, with high-frequency amplitude and current disturbances. How could such a crappy company have such a thing? The answer was obvious.

Independent mercenaries in this area are currently only employed by two companies, one is the Desert Climate Transformation Agency, and the other is Abian Company.

The former has its own set of technical means, and the three companies are eyeing its technology; the latter is the guy who entered here to try to get the technology, so there is no need to think about who handed this missile to such a rubbish company.

Thoughts were racing through his mind. In reality, the missile had just been launched and would probably take only a few seconds to fly over... Seifer aimed his CIWS and secondary guns directly at the target airspace.

Although nine out of ten defenses are ineffective, it does not mean that we should give up air defense.

　Ah, maybe I need to take a break...
