The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Steel, dressed as a purple sweet potato spirit, landed on the ground rubbing his chest, his face still bearing the gloom of being ambushed and instantly killed by the T-1000.

But when he saw the detailed message from Wang Dachui in the game messages, his frustration vanished instantly, and his eyes lit up.

The phrase "Golden 40/60" in just a few lines instantly ignited the excitement of the hundred or so guild players who had just assembled.

"Holy crap? Buying weapons is this profitable?!"

"Damn, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have wasted time grinding against those bots!"

"Instead of trading arms, I think we should just go dig them up ourselves in the ruined cities."

"What are you thinking? The game developers definitely won't let us take advantage of this so easily."

"If you dare to pull out a gold brick, a bunch of Terminators will spawn nearby."

"Our large weapons are not very effective in urban warfare."

“NPCs directly exchanging gold for weapons is already considered a relatively safe way to make money.”

"That's true..."

"Alright, stop arguing. There are still quite a few players around."

Gangzi grabbed the noisy crowd and adopted the authority of a guild leader.

"The guild doesn't have many points left. You should allocate your points to the logistics department first, otherwise we won't be able to handle so many goods."

No one objected to the idea of ​​paying points upfront so that they could recoup their losses later, and everyone pulled out their trading panels to transfer the points.

The guild's logistics team carefully considered the overall situation and selected ten standard military transport vehicles for the arms procurement.

With over a hundred people working together, the base's exclusive trading area quickly became bustling with activity.

Rows of system arms shelves were emptied, and massive amounts of military equipment were traded out by Thanos's Guild.

The open space was filled with mass-produced electromagnetic rifles, high-explosive grenades, individual shield generators, and armor-piercing sniper rounds.

Dozens of lightweight explosion-proof powered armor, portable medical repair capsules, and anti-tank rocket launchers were inventoried one by one.

The military transport vehicles used for hauling goods have all three layers of explosion-proof alloy steel plates superimposed on their bodies.

The vehicle is equipped with a mine-resistant buffer layer under its bottom, an automatic locking heavy machine gun turret on its roof, and a small jamming radar mounted at the rear, specifically designed to shield the mechanical detection signals of the Skynet surveillance system.

They couldn't afford to be careless; if they fell down and died, it would be a waste of their goods and all their money would be gone.

Although Big Hammer had guaranteed the payment, they still had to save face!

If the goods are lost on the first transaction, wouldn't they become 'untradeable' in the eyes of the rebels?

An hour later, the ten heavy transport trucks were fully loaded.

The interior of the carriage is secured in layers, with light weapons, heavy firepower, and protective equipment placed in separate areas and all locked with reinforced steel cables to prevent them from falling off due to bumps.

Meanwhile, the team responsible for terrain surveying had sent back a complete topographic map.

"President! Route confirmed!"

"We have found a barren slope that bypasses Blackrock Valley, and so far we have not found any large-scale Terminator activity."

Gangzi stared at the red warning points on the projected sand table, his fingertips quickly tracing the route, finalizing the plan.

"Then let's abandon the main road through the Gobi Desert and take the detour route through the canyons!"

"One team drives armored vehicles in front, the second team provides cover on the flanks, the third team..."

"The jamming radar will be kept on at all times to block low-altitude detection. Heavy machine gunners will be on standby at all times. If we encounter the enemy, we will provide direct fire support without holding back!"

With everything arranged, over a hundred players quickly boarded the vehicle.

Each vehicle is equipped with four drivers on rotation, six gunners, two radar jammers, and two field maintenance personnel, a fully staffed configuration.

With the roar of the engines, ten heavy trucks, carrying loads of weapons and munitions, and engulfed in a cloud of dust, left Oasis Town and plunged into the wasteland, along with all the guild members.

After a bumpy ride, the piercing sound of wind and sand replaced the bustling town.

The sun was obscured by smog, and a desolate, scarred Gobi Desert stretched out before us. The air was filled with the pungent smell of engine oil, gunpowder, and radiation.

The Black Stone Valley is 31 kilometers long. After driving for nearly half the distance, a barren Gobi desert suddenly opens up.

With no cover, they would inevitably encounter skirmisher robots deployed by Skynet.

However, the radar's stealth effectively helped the group avoid the scattered soldiers in the Gobi Desert.

This smooth journey continued shortly after the car entered the fractured canyon area.

The vehicle's radar immediately started beeping, and dozens of red moving dots popped up on the screen.

Skynet's mechanical patrol teams have already covered the entire area.

"All personnel on alert!"

"Speed ​​to medium speed, drive silently, and turn off all unnecessary lights!" Gangzi ordered in a deep voice.

Ten heavy trucks, divided into two groups, drove into the crisscrossing fractured canyons.

The heavy tires rolled over the gravel, making a dull thud, perfectly concealed by the canyon walls, avoiding the scrutiny of the aerial drones.

The first half of the journey went smoothly, and the complex terrain allowed them to perfectly evade several inspections by the mechanical patrol teams.

Just as the convoy was about to emerge from the middle of the canyon and enter the last section of the mountain forest passage, an unexpected incident occurred!

[Beep beep beep! High-energy heat source locked!]

[Mechanical units spotted on the left rock face! Quantity: twelve, T800 standard combat robots!]

A piercing alarm suddenly went off.

From the steep rock walls and piles of boulders on both sides, twelve silver-gray T800s suddenly sprang out, their infrared targeting red dots instantly locking onto the two heavy trucks at the front. The gun barrels spun at high speed, and a dense rain of depleted uranium bullets poured down in an instant!

"Fire!!"

Gangzi roared angrily.

The heavy machine gun turret on the roof roared instantly, spewing out orange flames. Dense bullets swept away the four robots charging at the front, their titanium alloy bodies instantly pierced and shattered, with metal fragments flying all over the ground.

The canyon is narrow, so the robots cannot charge in groups and can only be eliminated in batches.

However, Skynet's AI was extremely cunning. The remaining robots immediately dispersed and took positions, using the blind spots of the rock wall to flank the enemy, while simultaneously raising their hands to launch several homing missiles!

"Evade! Sharp right turn! Deploy chaff!"

The truck suddenly slid to the side, and a barrage of flares exploded, successfully luring two missiles into crashing into the rock face and exploding.

However, one missile still managed to penetrate the interference and slam into the rear armor of the vehicle!

"Boom!!"

The violent explosion shook the entire vehicle violently, deforming and denting the outer armor of the rear, and billowing thick smoke.

The mechanic at the rear of the vehicle immediately braved the hail of bullets and leaned out, quickly repairing the armor damage with a piece of repair gel.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

In the distance, from the direction of the main road in the Gobi Desert, the roar of tracks grew louder as it approached.

Two mobile patrol teams were drawn by the explosion in the canyon and sped over to block the canyon exit!

A pincer attack! An instant dead end!

"Damn, Skynet's AI predictions are absolutely outrageous!"

"President, the front exit is blocked! There are metal blocks in front and behind!"

Instead of panicking, the guild members were all excited.

For them, crises are points; the more robots they intercept, the more money they make on the shipment!

Gangzi's eyes turned cold as he quickly made a decision: "One team will hold the entrance to the canyon and use firepower to hold off the pursuers!"

"Second team, disembark and launch a surprise attack on the mechanical squad blocking the exit!"

"A swift and decisive victory is crucial! We can't afford to delay! If we attract the attention of nearby fixed artillery positions and large forces, we'll all be wiped out here!"

At a command, dozens of players instantly disembarked and dispersed.

Some set up anti-tank rocket launchers to bombard the cluster of robots, some picked up electromagnetic rifles to accurately fire at the mechanical core, and others activated individual shields to engage in close combat under the line of fire.

Explosions, gunshots, and the deafening roar of shattering machinery echoed throughout the entire canyon.

Players' diverse array of firearms, modified equipment, and tactics clash fiercely with the rigid yet precise Skynet mechanical forces.

In just ten minutes, the two patrol teams blocking the road were completely wiped out, leaving behind broken machinery wreckage and leaking oil parts.

However, the guild also paid a heavy price, with three players killed by stray bullets and their vehicle damaged in several places.

Not daring to linger, Gangzi immediately ordered the entire team to speed up.

Ten heavy trucks broke through the canyon blockade and plunged into the rolling mountain forest.

The dense forest vegetation perfectly shielded most of the Skynet detection equipment. The few patrol robots along the way were all remotely targeted and killed by the gunners on the vehicle, without even a chance to get close.

They sped along, breaking through the last mechanical security line.

However, when one robot discovers something, it often means that a whole group of people already know about it.

Ten large military armored transport vehicles appeared in the rear, and it would be strange if Skynet, the mastermind of the swarm consciousness, didn't take notice.

Therefore, without a moment's hesitation, relying on its absolute collective intelligence, it immediately mobilized surrounding forces to jointly encircle and suppress the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, countless mechanical units hidden in the shadows of the mountains and forests, the dead ends of the Gobi Desert, and the ruins and bunkers all changed course and quickly surrounded and encircled the mountainous area where the convoy was breaking out. A new round of inescapable traps was suddenly laid out.

Having just fought their way out of a deadly trap surrounded by enemies in the canyon, the group had no time to rest and catch their breath before a new and even more dangerous ambush was about to begin.

The humming of machinery echoed from all around the forest, with the roar of tracked vehicles on the ground, machinery stealthily moving through the woods, and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft rapidly approaching from the sky. A three-dimensional interception formation gradually took shape, almost completely blocking all escape routes in the forest.

"Damn it, one problem after another!" Purple Sweet Potato Steel spat out his cigar and ordered the convoy to break through the encirclement with a whoosh!

For this long-planned arms deal, their guild had already gone all out, pulling out their best high-end weapons and items.

As large numbers of mechanized troops pressed in from all directions, the first to open fire were the main firepower units at the front of the convoy.

Several veteran gamers raised their hands and pulled out the official Halo collaboration MA5B assault rifle.

This classic Oasis weapon boasts a ferocious rate of fire, exceptional stability, and intelligent ballistic calibration.

A dense barrage of live ammunition rained down, sending sparks flying from the approaching light mechanized infantry aircraft and shattering most of their optical detection lenses instantly.

The flanking attackers immediately activated their trump card – the EM-1 electromagnetic railgun.
