"A detour? What detour? That's all. Just stand back and watch my performance."
This was the rhetorical question Lin Fan asked when Owen suggested returning along the original path along the mountainside.
"Swamp..." Owen wanted to say something more, but after thinking about Lin Fan's virtue of not being afraid of explosives, he finally didn't say anything. He just asked the team to follow him and keep a distance, so that when the monsters were attracted, they would have a chance to break out.
Lin Fan strode forward, while Rebecca was looking for metal in the soil while sending a signal to Delia.
There are indeed many graffiti monsters in the swamp. They stand rigidly in the mud of the swamp and move every few minutes. They look like programmed robots.
"... This thing is really weird. Is this something left by Men of Gold?" Lin Fan frowned and asked Rebecca.
Rebecca picked up a stone with a relatively high metal content, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and then replied, "I think this planet should have been some kind of amusement park or something. This ball should have been transformed by real holography, allowing people to come in and experience real-life RPG games or something."
"But he said that everyone who was touched by the monster disappeared."
"Well, it may be that it has been in disrepair and some codes and equipment have been damaged..." Rebecca muttered. Golden Age's things are quite safe, but if they have lost maintenance and thousands of years have passed, then there is no telling.
"Maybe they were swallowed up by the system and used as consumables to supplement the environment. You know that at that time, many people were keen to have a humanized AI device, even in the garage."
Seeing Rebecca shrugging and curling his lips, it was hard for Lin Fan to imagine what a humane garage would feel like.
When he drove into the garage, what part of a person did he enter? It's weird to think about it.
"But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what you said?"
"It has something to do with it. The more human it is, the more urgent the AI's need to survive. Maybe the system of this planet thinks that it has lost maintenance and is about to be finished, so it simply starts breeding humans to supplement some materials or something. At the beginning, there were many abandoned garages like this. They tricked people into installing new batteries and power storage panels, and in exchange the garage could help him write math problems."
This is getting weirder and weirder...Lin Fan ignored the words about tigers and wolves that he just heard, and decided to focus on these graffiti monsters.
Lin Fan shook his arms, stepped into the swamp, and ran quickly, stirring up the mud with his legs. He yelled and slapped the passing monsters with his hands.
This kind of hatred-like behavior made the swamp area agitated. The monsters attacked Lin Fan and followed behind Lin Fan with all their teeth and claws.
"He ran so fast..." Owen stared blankly at Lin Fan walking on flat ground in the swamp, and was shocked. The rotten mud with insects did not restrain Lin Fan's feet at all.
"Hey, what's this?" Rebecca patted Owen on the shoulder and asked him to light explosive bombs for him.
Owen looked into Rebecca's eyes and hesitated a little, but still called a Imperial Guard to hand Rebecca the ammunition bag hanging on his waist.
"Are you going to attack?" Owen just finished asking this question, and then he was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.
Rebecca opened the ammunition bag and took out more than 20 explosive bombs one by one, then threw it in his mouth and chewed it. From time to time, a little black smoke and burning flames squeezed out from the gap between his lips.
"You know sometimes it helps with digestion."
Everyone looked at Rebecca and really didn't know what to say. They could only look at the explosive bombs in their hands and sighed deeply.
"Rebecca!"
Lin Fan shouted, and he was surrounded by graffiti monsters. Every time he punched, he could penetrate the bodies of several graffiti monsters, and every punch he punched could directly wipe out more than a dozen monsters.
But the problem is that the efficiency is still too low.
Rebecca responded to Lin Fan's call and took a deep breath. Then her arm quickly deformed, and a muzzle releasing high heat appeared from her wrist.
Even if Owen didn't understand what it was, he could feel from the dazzling heat on his face that the next attack would be extremely powerful.
Lin Fan has been pinned down by the monster at the bottom of the mountain. There are only collapses and gaps that are suddenly opened from time to time, and Lin Fan can be seen fighting back with punch after punch.
Rebecca's hand cannon was charged, and a fireball as dazzling as the sun was shot out, quickly falling into the mountain where monsters were stacked one on top of the other.
There was no violent sound of explosion, nor was there a shock wave that vibrated the air and stirred up strong winds. This little sun was like an iron ball falling into the snow, vaporizing all the monsters it came into contact with.
The fireball began to expand after smashing through the monster mountain and falling to the ground. A huge orange sphere expanded, destroying everything it touched. Even the wet and muddy swamps were evaporated under the heat, leaving behind dry, cracked and vitrified land.
The fireball disappeared, leaving only a deep pit.
Lin Fan patted the dust on his body and jumped out of the pit. His body was still filled with boiling heat. Every time he stepped on a wet place, boiling water vapor would evaporate.
The swamp area... maybe it should be called the cracked area now, or the pit glass area or something like that. I don't know if these monsters will be refreshed due to the destruction of the terrain.
Owen and his numb soldiers returned to the high metal wall, and then heard bursts of roaring sounds in the air.
When they looked up, they saw a group of steel birds piercing the white clouds and rushing towards them.
Are they still from Imperium? Owen looked at Lin Fan and Rebecca waving their hands, asking all the soldiers to put down their vigilance and take a look at the situation first.
The soldiers on the city wall were a little stupid. They stared blankly at the steel birds. After training, they subconsciously shot at these things they had never seen before.
Explosive bombs landed on the outer shell armor of Valkyrie Transport, leaving some holes.
"MD, how dare these natives shoot at my precious lady? Apply for counterattack!"
The driver was very angry and started the two-door Heavy Bolter mounted on the fuselage.
"Warning shot."
The order came through the communicator, and the pilot could only obey the order. He touched the cockpit, comforted Machine Spirit of Valkyrie, and told her that he would find the logistics officer to paint her with new paint when he went back.
Heavy Bolter was activated, and a series of bullets rained down on the metal city wall.
As for whether an unlucky person will be hit by fragments, that's not up to him. Imperium never likes people who are too unlucky.
The power created by several Valkyrie Transports was astonishing. In just a few seconds, they poured out the firepower that only a whole team of Imperial Guards could unleash.
When the sound of explosive bombs disappeared, a layer of smoke rose from the city wall, while the soldiers stationed on the city wall huddled behind each other, not even daring to poke their heads out.
Some of the transport planes were hovering in the air, watching for counterattacks from the city wall, while other transport planes fell to the ground, sending groups of soldiers down.
All I can say is that it's not convenient for me to translate, so you have to read it yourself.
