Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 75 75. This is a wonderful tool that can be used later

After replacing the new machine, and even when the outer defense circle was established - two vehicles were established separately, while guarding against the opponent - Cypher also requested that the weapons and equipment be transferred over.

Although the body is outdated, as for the weapons, Cypher is quite interested in this kind of energy weapon. It would be a pity to replace it after using it a few times.

"Not bad, this is number 59... After all, number 4 is gone, so it's okay for me to call you that, right?"

"can."

The firepower from the periphery began to roar, keeping the monsters outside the defense circle, but Seifer was leisurely testing the feedback of the machine.

Joint transmission, energy circulation output, heat dissipation system...

The thick armor on the back of the machine is split from top to bottom, with the cooling fins neatly placed in it. After high-power output, this machine can eject the heat sink that dissipates excessive heat and replace it with new fins for quick recovery.

The difference from conventional heat dissipation is that it is more efficient, but there is a limit to the number of times it can quickly dissipate heat.

In layman's terms, it's like damage control in a bathtub. Some damage control has unlimited uses but a long cooldown, while some damage control has a very short cooldown but a limited number of uses.

The answer to which is better can only be obtained after actual combat.

The good news is that using weapons will not affect heat dissipation, but the bad news is that over-limit operations will be affected by the weight of the mounted weapons - all of Cypher's equipment is very heavy.

Obviously, live ammunition weapons also need ammunition, so theoretically they should be heavier, right?

A full-circle image emerged, revealing the situation in the hall before Seifer. There were quite a few people on the two trains, and the makeshift defenses they had constructed were quite comprehensive.

However, this kind of perfection can only be used against the previous surging tide of mechanical monsters and the ranged troops brought by the command nodes. Facing the new troops...

Before Sefer's eyes, a tiny light suddenly flickered.

A crimson light swept across in an instant, and the probing beam swept across the towering walls of the giant building, leaving a deep mark on it.

The almost silent cutting made everyone in the station shudder, because the moment the light passed, a tunnel was silently erased.

Cypher thought for a moment, then connected to the communication channel. "I'm T59, previously known as Number 4. This attack comes from a completely new species of monster."

"It's a metal object about twice the height of the aircraft, with a width that's currently unmeasured. It's shaped like the lizard dragon from the story. I hope we can brainstorm on how to deal with it."

However, no one answered, everyone just listened and that was it.

It was NO.5 who reminded Sefer to speak less, because both the commanders on this side and the other side seemed to be on the verge of anger - what, outsiders ate your rice?
Sefer didn't care. If the two guys he brought with him hadn't been swallowed up, fused and evolved, and if he really wanted to stay a little longer to see if he could find any treasures, he would have gone up to give it up long ago.

Although in this vision, if you die, then… wait a minute.

He had been fighting since he entered the battlefield, and he had forgotten that this was a strange place that had not been fixed by a portal. If he died here, it would be a waste of time.

The only advantage that makes Sefer different from other mercenaries is that he can immediately transfer to the next body after the death of this body.

"59, we have a plan, but it's quite dangerous. Are you interested in participating?"

Seifer was just thinking about printing out just one skull to reduce the pressure on the spare body chamber when he was suddenly called over by the communication.

"First, tell me, what's the plan?"

"The reconnaissance team has already set out. They will search the surrounding nodes in detail and alert us when they find the command node."

A low roar came from the body of NO.5. In the repair mode, a hot breath continued to rise from the back of his body with the heat dissipation shield opened and closed.

This world also has its own combat system...

Then NO.5 cursed in a low voice, "It's broken."

"What's wrong? Can't find the command node?"

"You're wrong. It's not that we can't find them, but they're everywhere. The reconnaissance team has marked at least ten command nodes, and there are monsters everywhere..." There was a hint of despair in NO.5's voice.

The last time they went into battle, there were at least three of them, and they even coordinated seamlessly with each other. Now there are only two of them, but the number of nodes has increased tenfold or even a hundredfold.

This meant that everyone could only passively defend this station, even though there were all the people on the two trains here, even though they didn't need to worry about weapons and ammunition, even though they had no worries about food...

It is impossible to win, this is a variable that has never been experienced before.

Some people had dropped their weapons and huddled behind the trenches, shivering. There were quite a few people who had suffered mental breakdowns, so there were some gaps in the firing points.

Some people were hysterically firing at the oncoming monsters, and even after their magazines were empty, they continued to pull the trigger without reacting.

some people……

Life is full of different situations, and he was at ease in them. Seifer calmly looked at everything in front of him and suddenly asked, "Then why don't we just ignore how many nodes there are and change our thinking?"

"What can you do?"

"Rather than asking what can be done, I prefer to do something first. For example, we now have two machines instead of one."

Cypher said calmly, "Based on the logic of these things' actions, I think these 'command nodes' must have higher-level nodes."

Based on the information he currently has, Cypher made this 'speculation'.

No. 5 looked at the endless, tidal wave of monsters, even the beams of light that kept coming at him, and seemed to have made up his mind: "Well, let's give it a try."

He had made up his mind to die.

But before the action was taken, a message suddenly came in: "No. 4 and No. 5, before you decide to move out, go to the hangar and help move the boxes together."

"Wait until you come back..."

The voice was silent for a moment and ended the communication.

The two machines walked to the vicinity of the hangar compartment. The compartment, which had only been repaired for a small part, was still standing tall, and the people inside were listlessly opening the armor plates.

A box that only one person could carry appeared in front of the two people. When No. 5 asked what was inside, the person on the other end of the communication only said one sentence.

"If you have the courage to die, open it when necessary. That thing can help you solve most problems that require firepower."

And then there was no more news - the two machines looked at each other, and Cypher turned around and hung the box on his back.

"I've said before, I'm a mercenary... The principle of a mercenary is to maximize profits, and weapons are obviously one of those profits."

No.5 suddenly laughed and said, "You want to be a hero? You say you're a mercenary, but your actions don't seem to match the professional standards you made up."

In fact, it was really a mercenary habit. Because Cypher's trump card was not to be afraid of dying in the vision.

Even this kind of vision has no fixed form.

The bulky-looking box mounted on the back of the machine was installed and connected to the system.

This is a weapon that can theoretically only be used on a vehicle and requires a large amount of vehicle energy to activate. It is possible to use it on a machine, but the cost is not something any machine can afford.

Something that can solve problems in times of crisis is basically just that. Especially since it has a separate module that can be used, it is full of miraculous effects.

Seifer was silent for a moment, letting a hint of laughter enter his voice. "I didn't have a choice before, so it's not bad to enjoy the treatment of a hero once in a while."

NO.5 did not say anything, but silently replaced his weapons with the ones with the greatest firepower among the fire support.

Then, the two of them started the thrusters in tacit understanding and entered the snowfield.
