"The alchemy engine shut down in an emergency, and it will take an hour and a half to clear the cooling slag in the furnace before it can be restarted."
"The supplies are sufficient and the ammunition has not changed. The communication equipment can be used, but the interference is great."
The technical knight reported to Tres and Ian the relevant reports after the crawler transport vehicle stalled. He finally concluded: "Captain. I think this is because the Azure City and the virtual realm overlap too deeply. There is a history in the Knights' materials.
According to records, in places with a high overlap rate with the virtual realm, such as Fairy Country, many devices do not undergo special treatment, and it is easy for them to conflict with each other due to different laws, stall or self-destruct."
"We have brought relevant processing equipment this time, which can resist some anomalies, but the processing time will take about three to five hours."
"Go forward on foot."
Tres gave the order decisively. He turned around with a frown and looked at the steel behemoth behind him. Although the knight had a regretful expression on his face, he clearly understood what was important in this mission: "Take out all the things you need to carry with you."
We carried the supplies and built a simple camp with the transport vehicle as the center, and then used the camp as the center to explore the surrounding situation as a team of five people."
"Yes, Captain!"
Ian did not object to Tres's handling of the situation because it was indeed the correct response.
Of course, they didn't have more than three hours to repair the car. At the speed of the Ascendants, even in a defensive posture, one and a half hours was enough for them to reach the perimeter of the laboratory.
"I don't think this was an accident."
Ian patted the tracked transport vehicle. This huge steel beast is a true war machine. One carriage is six meters long and wide. It is equipped with heavy armor shields, psychic disruptors, two alchemical cannons and vehicle-mounted
The machine gun can also drive at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour for three days and three nights.
And the alchemy furnace core it uses is not even the most advanced technology of the empire, it is just an enhanced version of the ordinary civilian furnace core.
This is Terra's mechanical technology, and of course, it is also Ian's technology - every time Ian sees a brand new alchemical creation, he will record their structure with a silver chip, and he knows every detail of them.
When he went back to farm, these design drawings and structural drawings obtained for free were priceless treasures.
It is precisely because Ian knows so much about the crawler transport vehicle that he can be sure: "This is an attack. The enemy has discovered us, so they used a virtual pulse to interfere with the engine's source of pressurization chamber, causing the pressure to rise.
If you don’t go, turn off the flame.”
"An enemy will attack us soon. Tres, please prepare for battle first."
Of course, there is a little knowledge of alchemy, but the most important thing is Ian's precognitive vision.
He just looked around and saw a group of people glowing red.
Danger is coming. Although it is not too dangerous, it may cause casualties.
How could the prophet be attacked by surprise? It was just a matter of finding an excuse.
"is that so?"
Tres had no doubt that he was there, so he issued an order asking everyone to be on alert and beware of possible attacks.
It turns out that Ian was right.
Just when the entire team formed a defensive formation with five shield guards laying mines in the front row, and all the alchemy artillery and various firearms on the transport vehicle were fully loaded, an abnormality occurred.
The dark streets of Azure City were filled with white mist, and the sound of footsteps could be heard from time to time in the thick mist, as if some invisible monster was walking around the entire team's formation, looking for weaknesses.
On the side, the thick roar of the monster seemed to be pressed out of the throat, and the uncertain red beast eyes stared at the team of patrol knights with unchanging faces in the shadows. Substantial pressure came from the shadows, as if they would come from the shadows at any time.
Jump out and kill everyone.
Then, a large group of walking corpses controlled by fungi walked out from the other side of the street. They roared indistinctly and charged towards the position that was already covered with mines. They were as fast as a 100-meter race.
athletes, not corpses.
If it were an ordinary caravan, even a more professional escort, facing this battle, I'd be afraid that half of its life would be frightened.
"Except for those corpses, everything else is an illusion."
Ian, on the other hand, was calm and composed as he vaccinated the team members: "Continue to be on guard, they are still looking for opportunities."
Although it all looks like they have mistakenly entered a supernatural film set, for the Ascended, in theory, it should be the ghosts that they should be afraid of.
As for women crying, children laughing, and all kinds of noisy whispers, they have long been ignored as white noise.
Boom boom boom - even before the alchemical cannons and machine guns were fired, the mines blew most of the fungal zombies into pieces.
After all, no matter how hard the fungus is strengthened, these corpses were just ordinary people when they were alive and cannot withstand explosives.
Moreover, there are not many walking corpses. They are all corpses that are still intact after death. After all, they are too damaged and the fungi cannot make them move again.
"The real enemy is coming."
Ian and Tres saw three shadows flashing past in the darkness almost at the same time. The difference was that Tres could only see the shadows, but Ian could see them more clearly.
"One alien beast, two phantoms. The alien beast is a honey badger with iron claws. Its claws have been modified and an alloy blade has been inserted into it. It is very fast. It is currently moving counterclockwise from the ten o'clock direction to the six o'clock direction.
Team members behind, be careful."
Ian calmly described the current situation on the channel in the Inspector Knight: "The other two phantoms, one is a male, holding a carpenter's knife in his hand, the body is very strong, about three meters tall, they are powerful and unconscious corrupted people.
Phantom. The other one is a woman, also unconscious. The fingers on her arms seem to have turned into sharp needles, moving very fast... Huh?"
He suddenly let out a light sigh, and then said: "I'll deal with this. You go deal with the Iron-clawed Honey Badger."
"The male phantom is too big to pass through the fire net."
"Listen to you."
He agreed happily. With Ian here, Tres had completely given up thinking.
To be honest, this feeling is pretty good. I feel like my brain is being massaged, softly and very comfortably.
Although there may be a chance that the brain will become smooth in the future, at least it feels good now.
And just when Tres started to mess around happily, Ian was still observing the "test unit" sent by the enemy.
Obviously, these monsters are the vanguards sent by the surviving laboratory sublimates in Azure City to test their strength.
They have already destroyed a team of patrol knights. They must have the second level of force, but they definitely do not have the third level. Otherwise, they would not be so cautious.
The strength of this alien beast and the two phantoms are not low. Although they are only around the first level, they each have special abilities, especially those of the phantoms. If you are not careful, you will suffer big losses.
The strength of virtual phantoms is different from their real strength, especially when the virtual world is abnormal.
In reality, an ordinary butcher shop owner is slightly strengthened in an abnormal virtual environment, and his projection becomes a four- to five-meter-tall semi-giant man. However, by accident, the sublimate in reality may not have the same projection power as Lu.
Crispy bone bird.
On the way to Azure City, Ian and others encountered an ordinary-looking phantom.
She looked like an ordinary, weak woman sobbing under a big tree. Some of the patrol knights even thought that she was a survivor who escaped accidentally.
However, after being disturbed by the transport vehicle, the phantom burst out with astonishing power and swooped onto the transport vehicle, almost breaking the barrel of the alchemy cannon.
The silver chip said that this kind of phantom is called "Crying Witch", and most of its original incarnations are women who are often bullied or abused, and are full of resentment in their hearts.
It will not take the initiative to attack, but once disturbed, it will explode with the power of hatred hidden deep in its heart, killing everyone who makes it stop sobbing.
