Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 212 211. Don’t panic about emergencies
The battle is about to break out, but the intensity is gradually increasing.

At first, you'll be dealing with autonomous units, some of which are flying in the sky and can be easily taken down with shotgun shells. Then you'll be dealing with various ground units, the smaller ones can be sent flying with a kick, while the larger ones can be finished off with a hard ram.

The larger firepower points were cleared by other people, and Sefer only had to follow.

But as we went deeper into these cities with wide roads and interconnected roads, the number of teammates around us became sparse. Several teams came in and then dispersed to different areas.

...It's like ink dropped into a kettle, it becomes faded once it spreads.

Soon, Cypher found himself in a state with no teammates around him and only a communication connection. The dynamic task required him to continue moving forward. The divided area was... the edge of the big rift.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the place is not big and currently there are only traces of autonomous machines operating.

The other side of the crack is adjacent to the painting area of ​​Abian Company, but as long as you don't cross the crack, it won't be considered an invasion - the company is hinting that if you can grab it, there will be a big reward.

Overall it was quite enticing, and Cypher quickly headed to his assigned area while adjusting to his new body.

To be honest, it's a bit shocking.

The advantages brought by the bionic structure are indeed clear. At least without the propulsion mode, the speed of running with feet under conventional jet is already quite good, and the efficiency of crossing obstacles is also excellent.

This body even has a special ability to move. How to use it specifically... the engine consumption is too high, so I'll talk about it later.

Entering the area assigned to him, Seifer looked at the jungle made of reinforced concrete in front of him and couldn't help but sigh that so many houses built by autonomous machines have now all become protective walls and temporary resting places for mercenaries.

Even the roads that allow heavy transport vehicles to move are now bumpy, and it is obvious that they have withstood bombardments from various weapons. The fact that they have not broken or the three-dimensional bridges have collapsed is fortunately due to their solid construction.

All around... no signs of other people were observed for the time being, only autonomous machines were surrounding them.

The small-caliber weapons clanked against the armor, unable to penetrate it. As for the larger-caliber artillery, Cypher could easily avoid it with just a slight dodge.

His powerful body and threat scanning gave him an algorithm to predict the source of damage in advance - these things were not considered threats.

The previous situation where a single person was chased to the sky and the ground is a thing of the past. Now it’s time to drive the machine over and smash things!
Seifer held a long-barreled heavy shotgun in his right hand, and he would spray it at anyone he disliked. The shotgun bullets spurted out densely, and those fragile armors were almost non-existent.

Wherever they passed, there was smoke of gunpowder.

He quickly sent the injection packet to an area that was surrounded but had tall sentry towers. In less than three seconds, the autonomous machines around him, which had been hostile to him just now, all stopped.

Then they restarted, and after the indicator lights came on, they put away their weapons and scattered.

If we can solve the problem programmatically and subdue these wild monsters, then we don't really need to destroy them completely, and we can use them for our own purposes after converting them... That's not bad.

Seifer thought that maybe he could also command autonomous machines in an area. When he confirmed that the painting was completed and was about to go to the other side for support, he suddenly found that the color of Abian on the other side of the rift on the map had disappeared.

It felt a bit strange to be in an uncontrolled area again. Seifer thought about it and walked to the edge of the rift to look over there, intending to see what was happening there.

As soon as he passed, the alarm suddenly sounded. In the fraction of a second that it sounded, Seifer dodged at high speed, instantly avoiding the simultaneous onslaught of high-speed artillery, electromagnetic boost sniper fire, and a bolt that pierced through the mist of energy dissipation.

All of them fell into the air. Cypher did not hesitate and immediately scanned the trajectory accurately, and found that the attackers were two Abian machines with stealth functions.

The dark paint and the built-in optical camouflage prevented Seifer from noticing the two guys at first. Seifer immediately hid in the building - these two were relentless!
The three machines travel through the buildings at extremely high speeds, and if they are not careful, they may crash into some buildings, but they can also use them as cover.

The enemy used rockets as a means of harassment, and one person used a long-range electromagnetic accelerated sniper attack. The "buzzing" sound could take Sefer's life at any time.

The other used aggressive close-range rapid artillery fire and a thundering whip as a weapon.

Seifer dodged between buildings continuously. Countless explosives hit the buildings one after another, and all kinds of building debris flew up, spreading like layers of dense clouds.

Both sides wanted to find an opportunity to kill the other side with one blow, but Seifer had an idea - first of all, he had to make it clear that he was not a soft-hearted person, otherwise he would not have done such a thing as to kill a whole car of pirates as soon as he was born (referring to opening his eyes).

The main thing is to figure out who these two mercenaries belong to and why they attacked me, but before that, we have to control them.

In terms of reaction speed and body flexibility, Cypher was far superior to the two enemies. After moving past two blocks, the enemy's reaction speed had obviously decreased and was not as fast as at the beginning.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sefer opened the magazine window on his horse. After another round of rocket attacks, strings of flames gushed out of the magazine.

Twenty rocket pods x2 provide ample firepower coverage!
These rockets dragged long smoke trails across the curve towards the enemy. Although they saw the weapon behind Cypher, they didn't react to what it was. Now that they knew, they started to dodge... awkwardly.

After circling the building in the shape of a triangle twice, Sefer grasped the newly acquired spear and shook it. The external connection extended backwards, exposing the sword body.

Then it stopped abruptly and drove in the opposite direction, accurately avoiding the swing of the electric whip that passed by its side, and started all the engines and pushed forward explosively!
From the outside, the sharp-angle maneuvers that almost ignore inertia are the essence of why mercenaries are so popular - using the human body to control this weapon that exceeds the limit and make it act according to one's own wishes.

The long sword pierced the ribs of the melee machine fiercely, and Seifer lifted the long sword from bottom to top.

At the same time, he punched the opponent's shoulder on the other side with his left hand, knocking back the arm that was raising the weapon. The heavy blow made the opponent stagger for a moment, and then one of his arms flew out.

The heat was so high that the sword made of heat-resistant material easily cut off his arm. Seifer raised his two front legs at the same time and kicked hard.

He kicked the opponent's torso with one foot and his other intact arm with the other foot. Accompanied by a bunch of rockets flying around, the machine shook a few times... and fell to the ground with a bang.

Even a specially modified driver would lose his breath and pass out on the spot when faced with such an impact.

As for the long-range one, after realizing that its teammates were defeated, it did not choose to fight forward. Instead, it fired a long-range sniper shot, which was blocked by the energy shield that opened on Cypher's arm at the same time, and then disappeared into the mist.

The mist emitted by these strange energies and the smoke from the battle blocked various scans to a certain extent, so that Seifer thought about it and decided not to chase.

We already have a prisoner, so let's ask this one. As for the other one... we'll talk about it later.
