Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 531 530. It's like saying don't think you've won

Not to mention how other machines climbed onto the mountain-like, flying continent, which was even a spectacular creation, it really felt like a bit of a juggling act for Cypher to get up there.

As the thing slowly emerged from the gushing strange light and hallucinations, Cypher had already moved the centaur-shaped body outside the car.

What's more abstract is that since there are no wild catapults here and it's impossible to shoot Cypher out of the barrel, he has to use some unconventional means.

—Have you ever played with a rocket? Or what are sometimes called a rocket or a whistle?

In principle, the object with a stick is launched into the sky through rocket propulsion. In Sefer's memory, there was a space pioneer named Wan Hu who tied a bunch of rockets under a chair and launched into space with no return.

Although this operation is considered suicidal from today's perspective, in that era, having the courage to escape the gravity of the ground and head into the sky was a feat in itself.

That's kind of what Cypher is doing now.

Otherwise, how could the technical department be so versatile? They not only prepared a reinforced cable (steel wire) for Cypher, but also thoughtfully prepared a cushioning device (presumably a parachute).

As for things like thrusters, you can always find them if you look around.

The Navigator must keep moving because the number of enemies hasn't decreased significantly, and this is a perfect mobile repair station, so...

"So I have to work overtime to drive for you... Do you know that I've been driving for twenty hours straight?"

Tien's complaints were clearly audible, but everyone in the car wanted to complain now. After all, they had been working non-stop for so long that they didn't even bother to count how much ammunition they had fired or how many kills they had made.

Sefer could only ask her to think carefully. If she failed this time, she would not have to work or struggle for a living in the future.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"So, do you want to become a USB flash drive, and a plug-and-play one at that?"

"It's not a bad thing. I see those unlucky guys are quite happy. They're not afraid of death even if they lose the battle. After all, there's always another chance."

While chatting, Cypher watched the mobile base go away. He manually adjusted the rockets strapped to the body and connected them to the vertical stability of the body.

While busy with all this, he replied: "Let's put it another way. What if you become a USB flash drive person and one day you open your eyes and find yourself turned into someone else's thermos?"

"What's the big deal about boiling water?"

"What if it's a thermos for storing human samples?"

"...You've been having a lot of fun hanging out with celebrities lately, haven't you?"

During the quarrel, the rocket engine ignited, and in the roaring flames, Cypher activated the anti-gravity device at the same time, and then this Centaur-shaped body that looked like a bullshit machine took off!
The sight of a scrap metal machine dragging a long rocket tail and rising in an unreasonable posture like a reckless man made a mercenary who was approaching whistle.

Gao Shan laughed and said, "Wow, the big heroes always make their debut in a unique way, making us brothers become just supporting roles, right?"

A cheerful atmosphere immediately filled the team channel, but although it was cheerful, everyone became extremely serious when they actually saw the huge flying "island" with multiple port berths.

This kind of thing is not something that can be easily dealt with, especially since part of its structure has been exposed, its thick edges and the area with complex defensive weapons...

Once the aircraft lands and is attacked by intensive firepower, it will be a question whether it can survive the first second.

Especially when the towering sphere, seemingly embedded in one end of the hull, was revealed—everyone immediately concluded it was a laser weapon. The exact power of a high-energy laser weapon was unknown, but judging by its size, it was undoubtedly quite powerful.

But they might have guessed wrongly. That thing wasn't a laser weapon, but rather... something that utilized the properties of vision energy to transfer, or perhaps decompose? Matter to a certain extent.

The mercenary system's plan is to allow humans in the desert to survive, rather than to wipe them out indiscriminately. This can probably be considered a difference of concept.

Sefer didn't quite understand these twists and turns, so he flew relatively 'freely' in the air and successfully rose above it.

Then I was surprised that it was not as I imagined, so I built a city on it.

It looks flat and tidy, and the entire platform area is like a huge square. The only thing that stands out is the huge sphere with an unknown diameter.

In the silver-white sphere, there was a one-eyed structure with a faint flickering dark red light... In Seifer's opinion, it had a very standard villain texture.

The moment Cypher successfully rose up, the thing slowly turned with the help of the bracket, as if it was "looking" at him.

Without any hesitation, Cypher cut all the cables in an instant, and the machine fell freely. The next second after this decision, something that seemed to blur the entire space, something that words would not describe, suddenly passed over his head.

The attack missed, but everyone saw the cylindrical hole in the air that was instantly clean and free of any strange energy.

Even though it only existed for a moment...it was enough to scare the attacking guys.

What was that thing? It had no light effect? It swallowed up all the energy in the air in just a moment?
Sefer didn't care about these little thoughts. He jumped slightly in the air to adjust his posture and chose the position closest to the sphere to land.

The machine's four legs scraped a long trail of sparks on the deck. It landed successfully but received no commendation. What greeted it... were two machines rising from below the deck.

One of them let out a cruel laugh and attacked without hesitation. Cypher immediately grabbed his weapon and controlled the machine as if it were his own body (which it really was) to meet the attack, while the other machine remained motionless.

At the same time, a line of words popped up in the communication.

Candied Peach: New mercenary, I have bad news for you! This place is full of tough enemies, so you'll have to survive the first wave of attacks on your own.
When the news came, beautiful fireworks began to explode above the platform.

More advanced technological weapons from various companies' fire support, aircraft support and even transformation agencies have been put online.

However, these things can only try to break through the fire blockade on the periphery. Everyone is not prepared for this "spectacle" and can only take it one step at a time.

Red Crossbow: You're not going to talk about no support, the weather is bad so I'll die first
Immediately cutting off the communication, Cypher fought against the enemy who rushed up relentlessly, with dual flamethrowers that could be switched to spliced chainsaws at any time.

This guy was relentless, and one couldn't underestimate the opponent's flamethrower, which caused extremely high overheating damage to the body. At this moment, Cypher heard two violent gunshots.

The machine that was chasing Cypher with a flamethrower and forced him to retreat temporarily suddenly shook, and at the moment it fell to the ground uncontrollably, the additional "long spikes" smashed directly into the core through the heat dissipation vent.

The machine, which was shouting incomprehensible words, slowly fell silent, and the machine whose equipment was somewhat similar to that of Cypher several versions ago slowly put away its weapons.

"Red Crossbow, it's not easy for you to get here... But what's more interesting to me is that every action you take makes that guy say 'the plan has been thwarted and needs to be adjusted.'"

This voice sounds quite familiar.
