Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 511 510. Everyone’s own little thoughts are mostly...

In front of them, there were the thick turtle shells of various mobile strongholds serving as cover, and there were also serious cannons bombarding them fiercely, and behind them there were various machines causing destruction.

Destroying command camps, damaging transportation routes, bombing ammunition depots and supplies... the company's battlefield commanders and corporate mercenaries attacked like a high-speed spinning chain saw.

Those people in the defense line could only wait for their doom in despair, while a few smart people ran away immediately, under the pretext of building a second line of defense.

When the first rays of sunlight of the polar night lazily lit up on the horizon, smoke filled the pass area of the defense line...but Sefer became more and more confused.

It's strange, why are the only resistance forces here these guys in the desert? I don't see any machines sent by the mercenary system?

Although there were units with a mercenary system - those autonomous machines that were initially ignored by Cypher, they still taught him a hard lesson.

Unlike the rigid artillery in memory, these mercenary units have bionic-level flexibility. They are even fearless because they are unmanned, which causes some trouble for Cypher along the way.

Then pour it all under the double spray.

Sometimes, Seifer was worried about what would happen if the enemy also used double spray against him - but then he thought, this thing is very risky, if the opponent locked on him, he could easily dodge it, it didn't seem that dangerous.

Not everyone can aim like Cypher, relying solely on manual control without locking on.

The dim light in the sky began to brighten, and an alarm sounded in Seifer's body. Then Gao Shan reminded him to quickly find an unaffected repair platform or hangar in the camp.

Even in the polar regions where sunlight is much weaker, the threat of passing sunlight cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, everyone who was fighting immediately changed their actions, even the enemies who were still putting up sporadic resistance on the front line quickly retreated, hiding wherever they could, and occasionally even locked themselves up in the hangar where the corporate mercenaries were.

Corporate mercenaries would naturally accept such a head that was delivered to their doorstep - unless they surrendered.

After a lot of operations, the sun peeked over the horizon and then hovered there, casting long shadows on all the protrusions in the desert, as if it were a dusk that would never end.

After confirming that the outside environment was safe, Gao Shan's trio opened the cockpit door, broke out of the cage, and called for Seifer to come over and rest.

"What are you going to do after leaving the cabin?"

As soon as he asked this, Gao Shan took out a deck of cards from his pocket and found a steel bar as a table. The three of them sat on the ground, put a cigarette in their helmets, and then began to happily play cards to kill time.

...Okay, as expected of an independent mercenary who goes out on missions every day, he can always find things to kill time.

Seifer didn't move from his seat. When he expressed his lack of interest in playing cards, Gao Shan simply shrugged, "After all, we're just doing our job. You're the one who needs to communicate with the higher-ups."

"Remember to find a good job for us brothers. If we don't make any money this time and go back, our colleagues will laugh to death."

Indicating that he might be able to do a good job, Seifer switched to his backup body and opened his eyes in the mobile base.

When I walked out of the spare body warehouse, I saw Miss Nana squatting at the door looking at me.

"……What are you doing?"

"Greeting my beloved commander, what else can I do? Thank you for your hard work in the battle, everything is normal in the car!"

Over there, Tien smacked her lips, chuckled silently, and pulled a bottle of chilled wine from a nearby portable cooler, preparing to mix a drink to satisfy her taste buds. Holding the back collar of her ethnic-inspired jacket, Seifer emerged from the hanging room and turned to see Leica propping her cheek, still listening intently.

And obviously, the daytime offensive was not over.

When the sunlight outside stabilized, the three companies positioned their mobile bases and then arranged for corporate mercenaries to wear protective clothing and enter ground combat.

Since neither mechas nor armored units can be used, fighting will rely purely on physical strength - by the way, in this environment, many weapons cannot be used freely.

Overheating, barrel explosion, ammunition that cannot withstand high temperatures... For various reasons, the weapons used by mercenaries under the scorching sun must be specialized.

Seifer had no interest in participating in this kind of battle. He walked over to Laika and half-knelt down. "Has the information from the storm circle been delivered?"

"...Well, the channel is a bit narrow. Currently, it's only available within the company. No one else can apply for it. Including those stragglers from the lawless zone you brought with you earlier."

It is said that after being moved by the shocking appearance of the storm circle, those guys seemed to have indeed emerged with a passion for pioneering and exploration, and recently they have rarely come to report to themselves, the nominal boss.

Maybe they are the pioneers who have found their home.

Seifer nodded slightly. On the small screen in front of Leica, at the end of the wall-like storm circle, many people in protective clothing could be seen walking with difficulty in the wind.

The main reason they were able to keep walking on the ground was that they were transporting some facilities manually, and the weight of these facilities prevented them from being blown away...

If the speed is fast enough, a stable signal repeater can be established by night, and by then the bandwidth will be sufficient -

Tangchaolizi: Hi! Did you miss me, new mercenary? I heard that you killed ten wild mercenaries by yourself!
Red Crossbow: The communicator is overdue, so I'll hang up first.

What a joke! If I get entangled with this guy at this time, there is no way I will have a good ending within a few hours!

Sugar-roasted chestnuts: 1,000 yuan in five minutes
Red Crossbow: If you have anything to say, just tell me.

Tangchaolizi: Wow, you're so direct, mercenary! Hmm, let me think—Oh, right, you definitely didn't enjoy the fight this time, did you? Good news for you, the enemy's defense map has become clearer~
That sounded like endless battles were coming... Seifer hesitated for a moment, thinking that since he wasn't a violent battle fanatic, there was no need for him to think about how to capture the enemy camp all day long, right?

To be honest, considering Sefer's battle record, he said that he was not a battle fanatic, but very few people believed him... The sponsor didn't know whether to believe it or not, but he still gave him a secret message.

The spies planted among the mercenary system's Zhao'an personnel have already sent back intelligence. The mercenary system's plan is very unusual. If this information is known to most people, many people... will be shaken.

The mercenary system claims that the enthusiasm and special properties of the vision energy are not just used for companies or mercenaries in this world to play the same blueprint collection game as playing house.

Or maybe it's something lukewarm like the study of vision culture, vision energy can be used to do something more meaningful or valuable.

For example... taking advantage of it, through the special upgrading technology of the mercenary system, people can be transformed into things that coexist with the energy of the strange phenomena.

Tangchaolizi: Wow, let me tell you, Axin Mercenary, this kind of promise feels like putting you into a painting, and you will become someone else's collection forever!

Sever paused, thought for a few seconds, and then replied: This promise is almost eternal life on another level... So you think countless people will flock to it?

Tangchaolizi: Huh, huh, of course. But then again, the mercenary system is also a black box. No one is willing to submit to anyone else. In the end, whoever occupies the system will naturally have the final say.
