Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 523 522. After taking a break, it’s time to think about how to rush
Facts have proved that Sefer was overthinking it. Things like over-limit weapons are extremely troublesome to use. Instead of spending a huge price on them, it is better to exchange them for something better.

The transformation agency has no intention of sharing its technology, they only need to face the flying units with the largest number of frontal forces.

The company that provided Cypher with the new weapon was I/O Enterprises, who enthusiastically stated that this thing was originally intended to be used against the [Worm] but it is not needed for the time being.

After all, it was developed relatively late, and there has never been a chance to compete with that thing.

What came out of the box didn't look like a thing that fired gunpowder, rockets, or anything like that. It looked more like two spike launchers with huge generators and related components.

Even when not in use, these auxiliary launch tubes, rails, etc. must be retracted and folded onto the weapon, making it look bulky.

The vehicle stopped for a while. Wei Erwei and Lin Shenxue squatted in front of the instruction manual and read it for a long time, then nodded.

Lin Shenxue took a sip of his drink (it was sparkling and contained alcohol) and said, "This is a rechargeable special combat weapon. I guess it's trying to imitate those strange missiles."

It has been adjusted many times, and it is said that the sound coming from the neck ring is now the same as her voice before she lost her voice, and it sounds normal now.

"What are the details?"

"I'll just give you a quick rundown of the principles. All you need to know is... this is an extremely effective attack method against energy defenses."

Lin Shenxue waved her hand and leaned casually on the box. The huge dark circles under her eyes made her look as if she had returned to the Doomsday Train.

She added, "It's not just energy, it's also extremely effective physically... Perhaps it's to penetrate the worm's combined shield. Anyway, the energy output is extremely high."

"As for the downside, it's probably that you need to charge before you can fire. If you cancel the charge before firing, the stored energy will quickly dissipate..."

After all, this is a necessary sacrifice to protect the equipment.

But then again, can this weapon penetrate the worm's shield?
In response, Weiwei happily said that it was impossible and that only a mobile base-level energy sniper could break through the hardest part - but this was beside the point and could be ignored.

In short, I/O Enterprise is very sincere. In addition to this thing, it also gave Cypher a lot of energy weapons, each of which can be said to be heavyweight.

...That's right, giving it to him is neither a lease nor a temporary use for him, it is a pure gift.

Seifer crossed his arms and pondered for a few seconds, then contacted Feldrich: "The neighbors have shown so much sincerity, what about your sincerity?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, mercenary? My reinforcements are on the way, don't rush me. One more thing, mercenary, aren't you going to send that guy away?"

You're referring to Ms. Jin Junmei. As a top leader of the company, if she gets hurt or suffers losses in the next operation, it will be a huge problem.

Cypher asked back, "Before you talk about her, Alfred, shouldn't you also go to the back?"

"...I have my own considerations, mercenary. Continue with your commission and leave me alone."

It sounds like she's determined to put down roots in this car and won't move no matter what.

Sefer could only seek Ms. Jin Junmei's opinion, but just as he opened his mouth, she said "no problem" and ended the call.

Then the other guys came over to harass me, saying things like, "Oh, you're kicking me out because you're afraid I'll take your girl away" and "It's so nice in your car, I don't want to leave."

If she wasn't schizophrenic, she was definitely mentally ill.

Putting aside all these trivial matters, Seifer urged Vilvi and others to help remove the tank's main gun and the "Spike" that had made great achievements on the back of the body.

Then I installed the new weapons sent by I/O, which happened to be a pair.

The Centaur also needed some repairs and maintenance, and could be deployed at any time. After arranging all of this, Cypher returned to the main control cabin. Sanae was crouched above the tank, tapping the floor gently with a small hammer. Seeing Cypher approach, she leaned over the railing curiously, "Is the repair... finished?"

"It's barely finished, but the difficulty will probably increase exponentially from now on, so I hope..."

Before Seifer could finish his words, Shengnai shook his head repeatedly: "There are so many people on this bus. If there's no doctor on board, what will happen if someone gets hurt?"

"Besides, even with such technology... dying wouldn't be pleasant. Mental health is important, too, Cypher."

——That’s the truth.

But there was one person who definitely had no reason to continue following the car. Seifer strode over, took the hammer from Shengnai's hand, and knocked it hard on the floor a few times.

The noise was so loud that it even woke up Tien who was sleeping. She squinted her eyes and watched for a while before lying back down like a salted fish.

With some mumbling sounds, Dr. Mei spilled some words and raised the cover: "What's the matter?"

"You've taken too long to analyze this. I suspect you're abusing your power for personal gain. Put on your protective gear immediately and follow the convoy away from the front lines."

"why?"

"Do I even need to ask why? Think about it, I'm about to participate in a very cool battle, a battle that could very well result in a brutal annihilation of both sides."

Seifer gestured a few times. "As a slime, the only magical being in this desert, shouldn't you be protecting your life? Go wherever you need to go, and don't stay in my jar."

Dr. Mei twisted his body and answered confidently, "That's okay. There's a thermostat in the jar. It's more comfortable than the bathroom. I'm a slime, so of course I stay wherever I feel comfortable."

"Would you please go to the bathroom?"

"Okay, but not now."

The two sides looked at each other for a while, and then Seifer reached out and pulled Dr. Mei out of the jar like jelly, allowing her to get into the protective suit with a somewhat unconvinced look.

She seemed quite unhappy after regaining her human form: "It's good for you if I stay in the car. Have you forgotten that you don't have enough scientific researchers in this car?"

Just as Sefer was about to answer the technical department, Xiaotao's smiling face that seemed to take no responsibility for any trouble appeared in his mind.

"...What you said makes sense. Let's go then."

Then he emphasized, "Also, the physical examination is almost complete. There is no value in investigating further. Don't try to get into this jar if you don't have anything to worry about."

Dr. Mei shrugged nonchalantly: "How stingy."

Have you ever thought that if you were to change to another set, you would be the guy who specializes in providing CG?
Anyway, Seifer asked around in the car, and everyone said it would be a shame to turn back after coming this far, without seeing the scenery that no one else has ever seen...

Even if I die, I can't rest in peace!
After confirming the intentions of everyone on the vehicle, Sefer could only arrange for everyone to return to their posts and begin the investigation in full swing - at the same time, more transport vehicles began to approach this mobile base.

Replenish ammunition, mobilize supplies, and prepare new fuel for the heavy fusion engine... Although gnawing on rocks is possible, it won't allow it to fully operate, and starting the crusher is a waste of energy.

It only took half a day to prepare, and the remaining half a day was for everyone to rest and gather their strength for the deployment.

Other vehicles have already started to operate. Above the dark sand and rocks, bright flares rise up, and even cruise units that can provide long-term lighting are towed in the sky.

All preparations were to provide cover for the upcoming mobile outpost, to confuse the mercenary system and cause it to misjudge the current behavior of various forces.
