Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 527 526. Everyone’s combat efficiency and ideas are different
The disadvantages of the heavy double-shot are that it takes a long time to reload and can only fire one round at a time, but its advantage is that if it hits the target, it can make the opponent stagger or even fall on the spot.

What about the electric needles that can break through the combined shield level protection, even cause continuous damage and even blow up a floating battleship with one shot (doubtful)?

Cypher had used it to attack machines, but because he never used fire control lock, those A-level and even S-level simulated learning machines didn't even have a chance to react. They were penetrated one after another and lost their response on the spot.

But most of them are fired individually - now, what is the effect of firing two bullets at someone at the same time?
As the core of the machine was hit by a rocket and the alarms blared, a golden flash erupted in front of my eyes and someone's painful howl was heard at the same time.

To be honest, it probably didn't feel anything, but it just kept yelling. Cypher didn't quite understand, but he pulled away and followed the shockwave of the explosion directly onto the spaceship.

Then advance quickly to avoid being hit by the dense fire from above and becoming one of the scraps on the ground.

As it landed on the ground, a machine covered in lightning and flames also fell from the sky. As it slammed heavily onto the ground, a circle of strange light immediately spread out.

Previously, the light of this machine seemed strange, now it can be described as weird... The reason is very simple,
The surrounding strange energy was stirred, and then gathered together with the spreading light. The body, which was already full of scars and even on the verge of explosion, began to repair itself as if it were flowing backwards.

When it stood up again, it immediately ignored the roaring sounds around it, and the guy's low cry of pain came from its body.

"Uh... uh, red crossbow arrows, this feeling is too uncomfortable. Memory is like a socket that can be replaced at any time, and even perception can be manipulated... This is the technology I've devoted my life to researching, and it's being used here..."

"Denied. Your so-called research is merely the copying and application of anomaly technology. Inferring that personality data should not be used in combat under the current circumstances."

"Furthermore, this personality's combat effectiveness is low."

Two voices rang out simultaneously, and Cypher flicked out a piece of melted heat sink fins from overload. "So, have you guys decided who's going to fight me?"

It didn't matter who was fighting Cypher, because that machine directly stirred up the somewhat hazy phantom light.

The male and female voices, originally tinged with a hint of mechanical synthesis, resonated simultaneously: "Red Crossbow, your actions have repeatedly exceeded common sense, but that doesn't mean you can change the world simply by having determination."

"You only possess a talent that might, and perhaps exists. According to this system's determination..."

Its body, amidst waves of distorted sounds, became quite sinister, and a crimson light shone from within its matte black head unit.

The weapons of the machine also became difficult to understand, and it was definitely not the same assembly plan as at the beginning.

“…Until you have the power to change the world, all you have to do is wait and watch for the world to get worse.”

So your idea is even more unexpected, and to be honest it is also a kind of amazing wisdom.

Cypher's actions spoke for themselves as he displayed his loaded weapon.

"Is this your choice, Red Crossbow? Let me see what a mercenary like you can accomplish."

The two sides stopped talking and paused for a moment under the gaze of many floating battleships and machines that had not yet been put into battle.

Then they attacked at the same time.

Cypher's body travels at an extremely high speed on the ground. With the help of rocket propulsion, it can even sprint hundreds of kilometers at high speed and suddenly return to zero.

The opponent's body was incredibly light. Even after abandoning the transformation mechanism, the continuous beams of light were like spears falling from the sky, highlighting its inhumanity.

After a brief moment of deliberation, Cypher realized that this battle was unlikely to be won. So, after dodging for a tenth of a second, he made an idea that went against the rules of mercenary combat.

The two machines crossed each other, and a series of things like spears of light or wings of light passed by, but Cypher did not find time to turn around and fire.

But the steel tracks rolled forward!
Sprinting with the roar of thrusters, Seifer rushed towards the coordinate point without hesitation.

What mercenary duel, letting the mercenary system test your own bearing, strength or will - please, this is not a battle between ninjas.

The other party is a mercenary system, a terrifying war machine that can collect the combat data of ranked guys and optimize their use, right?
Sefer was just an ordinary mercenary who had never even participated in a battle. He was a low-ranking mercenary. So why bother fighting? He might as well run away.

"Independent mercenary Red Crossbow, your actions are incomprehensible. Pointing your back at the enemy will cause you to lose all initiative."

It was right. Right now, not to mention the lasers, even the floaters were catching up with Cypher from behind, highlighting its determination to kill him here.

Seifer answered without hesitation and optimistically, "But I'm not trapped in a certain area by you. Can't I fight wherever I want?"

"While you were stalling for time on this matter, the independent mercenary support system had already successfully blocked the corporate forces from the desert."

"They were too weak, thinking only of how to use force to resist while preserving their own assets. They never considered that if a crisis were to occur, no one would survive."

Cypher added, "When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact, right? Don't stress that. Before you uttered those words, did you consider that your plan was to kill everyone first?"

He bluntly retorted, "It's said that killing is to save people, killing is to save lives. From your perspective, that's the truth, but what if someone refuses to believe you even if they die?"

Both sides were chasing each other in a hazy light like frosted glass, as if everything around them was gradually becoming dim. When being bombarded with fire (referring to Cypher), the mouth cannon did not stop at all.

On the bright side, the two sides are now less than tens of kilometers away from the coordinate point. As long as they maintain this speed of escape, they will eventually reach that place.

But...if there is no change or difference at the coordinate point, how will it end?

This thought only appeared in his mind for a moment, and Sefer felt that the hazy light in front of his eyes suddenly twisted, as if he had suddenly broken the glass, and his eyes suddenly became clear.

The machine had already sprinted madly to a busy and bustling street in the early morning, full of vitality. The rolling tracks crushed the clean and neat asphalt road.

Before it became dirty, the pedestrians and vehicles under the high-rise buildings became chaotic first, with screams and horn honking being heard everywhere.

Before Cypher could react, the sound of glass breaking came from behind him. A bipedal machine that looked extremely evil rushed out from near the skyscraper. It raised its hand and spears of light swarmed towards it.

The floating cannon shuttled between the buildings, and the beautiful glass facade reflected the high-tech floating cannon, which scared the people in the corridor.

There was a building in front of the road, and turning would cause a collision with the floating cannon. Seifer braked on the spot without hesitation, and moved the body in the opposite direction at high speed, directly rushing towards the mercenary system.

Seeing that Cypher finally stopped running away, the mercenary system once again released a round of light spears, blocking Cypher's various routes one after another - under the boom of heavy hail, the strange machine suddenly shook.

The arrow-shaped bullet hit it hard, immediately hindering its movement and causing it to crash heavily into a building.
