Chapter 40 The Domino Effect
The vegetation of Night Song Forest makes the image pattern useless. Chen Fang can only use the digital mode to track the movements of his teammates. The display screen displays a three-dimensional pattern composed of numbers. The layers of numbers are dazzling and dense enough to be distinguished. At this time, if you don’t use the fool’s warning system, you will be unable to get along with your own eyes.
Tap the data board twice, and the outline of the teammates is circled green, and the rest of the living bodies are all set in red, while meaningless numbers are ignored. After a little changes, the work is much simpler.
The sniper is boring. Fortunately, there is a "toy" entertainment, and the fragments obtained from the insect hole are thrown next to the data board. This kind of thing is useless and is given to someone by Linni as a gift, but Chen Fang feels like he has gained a treasure.
The fragment is about the size of a fist, with a glossy glow throughout the body, and looks like a metal cube. Judging from the textures on the surface, it consists of many small modules.
Although he was different from Chen Fang's perception, he still concluded that this was an intelligent brain, the only valuable fragment of the broken mecha. As a top data expert, Chen Fang believed that his knowledge was not bad, and even he had never seen the intelligent brain, which showed the extraordinaryness of the mecha. When he thought of the broken arms of the tiger's nest, he couldn't help but feel excited.
The headache is that deciphering this unprecedented intelligent brain cannot be done by simply clicking the data board twice. In addition to top data masters, it also takes a lot of time and powerful data terminals. There is nothing we can do in the current environment.
A soft red light suddenly flashed in the cockpit, and an abnormal movement alarm was alarmed. Chen Fang quickly turned his attention to the display.
The danger comes from teammates in the distance. From the digital screen, it can be seen that Linni is approaching a large group of living organisms. The number of living organisms is counted immediately below the screen, 672.
There cannot be two powerful populations in a field. It can be concluded that those living organisms are the culprits of the Night Song Forest as a place of death, spiders.
This is a strange picture. Spiders are used to waiting for rabbits and do not like to take the initiative to forage. In addition, they are not flocking animals. It is precisely for the above considerations that Chen Fang decided to give up the reconnaissance mission because it is difficult to kill them in groups, and the efficiency is too low. What made them gather together?
Chen Fang habitually looked for clues from the numbers. Soon, the outline of a mecha appeared before his eyes, to be precise, in his mind, because on the display screen, there were still chaotic numbers. The height of nearly twenty meters means that it could only be a heavy mecha, and the outline was very familiar.
Although all I saw was the numbers, Chen Fang, who had been modified for it, was immediately recognized. It was the Fire Bull's mecha!
Although the heavy mecha lacks attack power and its speed is even more depressing, it is not useless. On Hall Star, except for the flying beetles and a few terrifying existences, most Zergs cannot pry open the heavy shell of the heavy mecha, including the spiders in the Night Song Forest. Therefore, the possibility of the fire bull surviving is very high, as long as he brings enough food and fresh water.
Chen Fang switched the picture to Linni's side and saw depressedly that she was changing direction. Maybe she felt a dangerous existence or maybe she was blocked by the spider webs. In any case, she made the right choice. No one could escape the pursuit of more than 600 spiders in the Night Song Forest, which was covered with spider webs. She had to do something. As for whether she could save the Fire Bull, it depends on his luck, or whether Linni was smart enough.
The fishman fires in digital mode, and the target is not a spider or a spider web, but a giant tree around it.
Under the madness of Sauron's Eye, dozens of big trees broke from it, and when they fell down, they made a rumbling sound. The spider silk that lost its attachment was like a broken string, and hissing and harsh sounds were made when it twitched. Seven out of ten trees swept by spider silk would be broken into two pieces. Therefore, new spider silk lost its pull, and more trees were cut off, like dominoes, and the trees fell down one after another.
Chen Fang was shocked by his masterpiece. He did want to use the domino effect, but he miscalculated the scale of the effect. Although this effect cannot spread infinitely and will not stop for long, he is not sure at this moment whether it will affect Linni and others. If the probability is used to calculate, the conclusion will definitely be.
The area where the storm has been raging is in a mess. From the electronic focus, you can occasionally see a few weird spiders, similar in appearance to ordinary spiders, with eight legs, but the diameter is more than three meters, covered with thick fluff, and a pair of dark eyes are on the top of the head, conveying a terrifying message. No matter what they are staring at, you will feel that it is staring at you.
While waiting, Chen Fang began to shoot this ugly creature. It was too simple. They had no idea what fear was. They squatted on the collapsed tree trunk and died while they were shot by Sauron's Eye.
Although using the data mode, you can clearly know that your companion is safe and sound, when the hot figure appears on the display screen, Chen Fang still couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.
The rescue work is no longer difficult. Without the shelter of vegetation, the spiders in the Night Song Forest do not pose any threat. Through the piles of broken wood, you can even see a corner of the heavy mecha.
Under the care of Sauron's Eye, Linni successfully retrieved the Fire Bull.
Less than two days before the end of the competition, the team's merit score was basically the second. No matter how it could not slip out of the three A's, Linni, who met again after the disaster, was not interested in fighting, so Chen Fang had to follow them and return to the safe area first. The next day, he and other mercenaries squeezed onto the narrow paid aircraft and hurriedly left Hall Star.
The winner does not have the honor of triumph, and there is not even a simple award. Mercenaries are warriors fighting for money. They do not need glory or merit. They only need benefits. In the circle of mercenaries, except for the rewards they deserve, you cannot get extra benefits because of your bravery or loyalty.
Mercenary Association, Pili Bee and others received the badges of the third-level mercenaries as they wished, and their excited expressions could not be concealed.
The advanced system is strict and harsh. Unless the assessment is passed in the task, the assessment standards are unknown. However, there is a principle that can be followed. The more difficult the task is challenged, the greater the chance of passing the assessment. On the contrary, simple tasks have little effect and can basically be ignored. The team led by Linni lacks the strong attack mecha, and the personnel are seriously deformed and cannot challenge the difficult tasks, which has caused today's situation. It has been stranded for seven years from level 2 to level 3. If it weren't for the reward of this task, I don't know how long it would take to wait.
"You have been waiting for too long." The fat woman stood up from her seat with her cigarette in her mouth and patted Linni on the shoulder.
She has served for the association for more than 20 years and witnessed Linni from a little girl step by step to today, becoming an excellent mercenary, just like her own daughter. At this moment, she did not say anything congratulations, but she seemed to be regretting that with Linni's strength, she has only been promoted to the third level now, and it is not worth congratulations at all.
