Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 239 238. The momentum is huge but the effect is just so-so

There was still some time before Tien's homemade missiles arrived, and Sefer suddenly received a communication from the commander.

The other party asked him to prepare to fire, because the worm's action logic had been confirmed for the time being - as for where to attack? It depended on which window of opportunity Cypher could seize.

Long-range artillery fire can be easily dodged by this thing, and it will make it determine the battle range to be wider. At that time, it will not be as simple as losing a few corporate mercenaries.

It's even possible that this thing will run away directly, or turn around to attack the node city... I digress. Under the escort of a group of people, Sefer arrived at the area where the sandworm was said to be sure to jump out.

"How can you be so sure it will come out from underneath?"

"The signal is so strong in the decoy house, can't you pick it up?"

You know what, now everyone's voice that Sefer hears has a very loud background noise, and you can really feel that it is trying hard to spread its presence.

Cypher stopped immediately, and the spikes on his heels slammed down, pinning him to the sand... theory.

With a wave of his hand, the segmented weapons mounted on his shoulders and arms were immediately spliced together, the energy pipelines were connected to the engine, and the cover of the additional energy tank on the back opened, emitting a bright light.

'warn……'

Ignoring the warning, Cypher resolutely carried out the armed warm-up. The scene before him was a little blurry, but not so blurry that he could not see.

Aiming the weapon diagonally upwards, the moment the locking ring in front of Seifer completed the final preparation with a blurry noise, the sand under his feet suddenly sank slightly.

"Red crossbow! Get ready to evade, there's... zizizi... coming!"

Even Leica's usually clear communications became fragmented by this interference.

Cypher didn't run away. He gripped the trigger of his machine tightly, waiting for that thing to suddenly rise up from the sand into the sky!

Just like a fish underwater jumping up to eat food, this [worm] also has a similar behavioral logic. It will suddenly jump high and use its huge body as a fulcrum to rise into the air.

In this way, confirming that it had completely swallowed the "minerals", and then preparing to hit the ground in the flying, blue dust, Cypher moved.

He didn't do anything, just released the safety trigger.

The nuclear cannon, which had been waiting in the chamber for a long time, suddenly ignited violently, and the booster coil instantly gave it unparalleled muzzle speed and movement.

At that moment, Cypher's body suddenly retreated as if he had been punched. The nuclear bomb burst out of the barrel, and a melted heat sink fin immediately popped out from the back of his body.

No, it was two pieces. They flew out of the machine one after the other. Cypher immediately retreated in the posture of being punched, but he was still a little slow.

Because at the moment of firing, the shell directly penetrated a group of flying drones, and the airflow it brought even broke up another part of the drones, and finally hit the fourth section of the [Worm] hard.

The fusion warhead exploded instantly, and in front of everyone's eyes, a brilliant sun suddenly erupted. Its terrifying power immediately ignited the desert area, making it emit a red light like lava.

But all of this was not as brilliant as the radiance of fusion. The first things to be hit were the numerous drones.

Those at close range were directly evaporated, those a little further away were blown to and fro, collided with other drones and fell down, and those on the outer layer immediately lost control and suddenly began to fire and fly randomly.

The first wave of radiation swept through, and the machines' resistance to the electromagnetic field of the nuclear explosion was effective, and everyone seemed to be fine. Then the shock wave of the explosion swept through, and the machines that were slightly closer immediately crouched and retreated with the blast wind.

As for the [worm] at the center of the explosion...

Its condition was not very good, but not as bad as imagined. With such a close-range bombardment, the flames it exploded might be even more powerful than the missiles that Feldrich could provide.

Therefore, its heavy armor, which was capable of withstanding real siege artillery and even once dominated the world, showed signs of melting and distortion that could not be ignored.

The first three quarters were not affected, but the fourth, fifth and slightly damaged sixth quarters were blown up - seeing this result, everyone's hearts sank.

How did the transformation agency create such a huge thing? Although tactical nuclear bombs are not as terrifying as nuclear bombs that pursue power, they are at least something that the body can use to fight against large mobile strongholds!
Basically, being able to fight it out will secure victory in the conflict with other machines...but this [worm] only suffered some minor damage, and its core was not even in danger.

"Zizizi... Terrible, is this... the power of Zizizi?"

Gao Shan's voice could be heard, but he didn't seem frustrated. "Back off! Then let us take the lead! Fighting this thing might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience!"

The machines of the Phantom Mist Group instantly pushed forward, firing continuously to attract the attention of the [Worm] which was a little confused after being bombed, and then suddenly scattered and fled, allowing it to smash heavily into the ground.

Having regained his balance, Seifer quickly put away his weapon and started running, because Leica, who had just restored communication, reminded him that the energy reaction of the sand under his feet was decreasing!
As for why? Of course, the worms ate them!
In this situation, we should not consider which direction to run, but how to run, so Sefer chose to jump high at the first moment.

The moment the sand under your feet is sucked in like a vacuum cleaner, you advance at full speed!
Seifer's decision was correct, or rather, it was because he chose to run away in time and considered the angle from which he came, that at the moment his body was jetting and soaring at high speed, the [Worm] broke out of the sand.

However, it barely brushed past this machine, which was so difficult for it to even fill the gaps between its teeth. The mottled armor on its surface came into view, giving the people around it a chill.

This thing moves so fast under the sand that there are almost no signs before it rushes out, and we can only make a rough judgment based on the strength of the infrared radiation on the ground.

Even after breaking out of the sand, it is not afraid of any guns or artillery. Even the heavy firepower that the machine can carry can only be described as drizzle when it hits it.

It couldn't cause any effective damage at all—as for the high-level firepower outside the field? That would have to wait...

"Red Crossbow, Red Crossbow, prepare yourself. Your first bombardment was very effective and indeed penetrated the enemy's armor from the outside."

"Perhaps we need to launch the same attack again. Until then, we will be responsible for attracting the Worm's hatred."

How do you attract it? Although a lot of those drones have been damaged by the sudden spread of radiation, the [Worm] itself has no defenses. If you want to just smash it in and make it turn around and look for someone else...

As soon as Cypher landed and let his engine recover its energy for a few seconds, he immediately sprinted at full speed because the sand under his feet began to sink slowly again!

After narrowly avoiding the earth-shaking impact again, Cypher was surprised to find that the drones that had all been scattered and most of them were damaged by the impact of the fusion reaction were constantly flying out from the drone nest holes under the armor.

How many of these things could the printing press or manufacturing plant inside this thing actually produce? Could he really have created some kind of mass-energy conversion printer with only sand?

At this time, the communication of the Huanwu Group Command was connected again.

"Red Crossbow, our air units have entered the area. Please take shelter in the designated area."

What the hell?
