Chapter 756
Brother, may you rest in peace!
The movements of the Demon Drill Dragon will produce continuous vibrations.
Previously, hundreds of drones had been continuously deploying micro-seismic sensing nodes around the location of the wormhole.
Then, following the epicenter, we closely tracked the movements of the demons underground.
When Brett broke ground, the drone following him from high above immediately detected the anomaly, zoomed in, and reported it to the command center.
Target confirmed.
But Da Xia did not launch a missile.
Conventional missiles and nuclear bombs cannot harm the Demon God; they will only force Brett to retreat underground again.
What needs to be done now is to keep it on the surface.
To avoid alerting the enemy and disrupting the plan.
……
Thirty minutes later, a transport plane appeared in the airspace of the mission target.
The tail section slowly opened, and strong winds from high altitudes rushed into the cabin.
The No. 7 Pangu mecha, in which Chen Yuan was located, was released from its restraints, and the thrusters on its back slowly lit up with a ghostly blue light.
Meanwhile, on the tactical map, nine green dots formed a huge encirclement from different directions.
That was the unmanned Pangu ship of Jiutai.
These are the mechs that were withdrawn after the previous round of Project A ended. Now they have come here with Chen Yuan to continue the mission, forming an aerial hunting net covering tens of kilometers.
"Brother, may you rest in peace!" came the voices of the driver and three other soldiers.
"receive."
Chen Yuan clenched his fist gently.
The next second, Pangu No. 7 leaped out of the transport plane.
The feeling of weightlessness lasted only a moment before the back thrusters activated with a roar.
A six-meter-tall steel mech pierced through the clouds, swooping down towards the black calamity star in the center of the wasteland.
Brett found them quickly.
Ten Pangu ships pressed in from all directions, their formation dispersed, yet subtly surrounding it.
Brett subconsciously narrowed his field of vision, conducting a detailed examination.
Strange, there was no sense of danger, nor any terrifying unknown weapon that posed a threat.
In its eyes, the ten mechs were no different from the steel toys it had encountered before.
"It turns out they were just guards who rushed over from nearby."
Brett's dozens of eyes revealed a cruel smile, and the dark red patterns on his body quickly lit up, covering his entire body with a semi-transparent shield.
"Then let me show you how terrifying I am!"
"Tremble, you insects!! Hahaha!!"
An unmanned Pangu vessel fired the first shot.
The electromagnetic cannon in the palm of the hand spewed out incandescent white flames.
The shoulder missile bays opened, and six miniature missiles, trailing white smoke, circled around Brett from the left and right sides.
The other mechs launched their attacks simultaneously, their chest-mounted plasma cannons charging up as they flew, before unleashing a powerful beam of light!
Several beams of light struck Brett's shield in succession.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions and fireballs burst forth one after another, creating only a ripple.
Brett didn't even bother to dodge.
"this one?"
"My turn!"
Its shield retracts inwards, while some of its spikes are exposed on the outside.
next moment.
The black demonic body suddenly accelerated!
Two thousand five hundred meters per second!
It tore the air apart, creating a giant sonic boom cloud over the wasteland.
Volcanic ash billowed tens of meters high below, and debris was thrown by the shockwave, crashing onto the surrounding hillsides.
Before Brett could even create distance after the Pangu had just finished firing, it had already crashed into him.
boom--!
The black spikes slammed into the mech's chest armor.
The six-meter-tall Pangu-like object resembled a metal can that had been struck head-on by a high-speed train, its entire body spinning as it flew into the distance.
The six-meter-tall mech was thrown sideways upon impact, its chest armor remaining intact, but its internal gyroscope, transmission structure, and power circuitry were destroyed in the collision.
The mech's function indicator lights on the tactical interface sounded alarms repeatedly, and the screen was filled with red light, indicating that the mech was on the verge of being scrapped.
The mech crashed into a hillside two kilometers away.
Half of the rock face collapsed.
This scene did not frighten the remaining Pangu ships, which continued to charge forward.
Seeing that the long-range attack was useless, the nine drones simultaneously deployed nine high-frequency long-range blades.
The blade vibrated, emitting a sharp buzzing sound.
They certainly didn't expect to cut through the demon god's shield with their swords.
The sole purpose of this is to continue the battle, to force Brett to continue choosing close-range ramming, and to incorporate its speed, direction, and next target into the mech's computational prediction.
Brett chuckled dismissively.
These steel bugs actually wanted to fight it in close combat?
Spikes are its sharpest weapon, and also its hardest bone spurs.
It's no exaggeration to say that the strength of its bone spurs is about the same as the hardness of the water droplets in The Three-Body Problem.
Let it be invincible in past battles!
At its speed, let alone a few metal blades, even a mountain blocking its way would be smashed to pieces.
Instead of dodging, it went to meet it head-on.
In an instant, a Pangu sword slashed down.
boom!
It was immediately knocked away from the battlefield, the powerful force sending it flying backward and disappearing into the sky.
Brett turned his body.
It accelerated again.
boom!
The third Pangu was knocked away.
boom!
The fourth Pangu fell from the sky, its leg armor piercing the ground and creating a trench hundreds of meters long.
"Unmanned No. 2 has lost communication."
"Unmanned Unit 4 is damaged."
"Unmanned Unit Six, keep pushing!"
The dots on the tactical interface turned gray one after another.
Chen Yuan stood in the cockpit of Pangu No. 7, letting the mecha AI take over the battle.
He was breathing heavily, sweat dripping from his chin into the collar of his driver's uniform.
The pressure from the demon god's domain was terrifying; his whole body trembled involuntarily as he resisted solely with the powerful willpower of a special forces soldier.
However, his eyes remained fixed on the demon god's movements.
He kept repeating in his mind:
Get close to it, open your spatial ring, take out the bomb, and send it to its doom!
This task can only be accomplished by humans.
Robots can fight, calculate trajectories, and lock onto targets in milliseconds, but they cannot, like intelligent life forms, use mental power to open a spatial ring and retrieve the antimatter device inside.
Therefore, he must complete this extremely difficult and certain-death mission here.
Available bait quantity: five units.
Available decoys: four.
Available decoys: three.
The cold, impersonal notification tone kept ringing.
These mechs are both bait to lower the demon god's guard and tools to amplify opportunities.
Chen Yuan stared at the screen in front of him, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of his chest.
One second, Brett was smashing a Pangu three kilometers away; the next second, it appeared in front of another mech, its black spikes whistling through the air as it blasted the steel body into the sky.
Sonic boom clouds exploded one after another!
too fast!
It was so fast that his eyes could barely catch it.
But Chen Yuan did not close his eyes.
He watched as one Pangu ship after another was smashed into the air, and as the drone mechs sacrificed themselves to allow Brett to execute his fixed attack trajectories time and time again.
They also watched as Unit 7, under AI control, continued its flight towards the most dangerous demon god.
Only three mechs remained on the scene!
