Silicon Invasion

This was the first time Luo Rui had truly and vividly experienced the strange environment of Maikan, even though it was a simulation.

Maikan's gravity was slightly lower than Blue Star's, and the air was filled with a mysterious Z element, leading to the development of a magical ecosystem. Just like the glass-crystal-like trees that Luo Rui was now seeing, shining brilliantly under the alien sun. The reflected colorful halos severely interfered with Archer Three's optical observation system. If Lin Xinxin hadn't reminded him, and if these guys weren't all pitch black, it would have been really hard to spot those crouching fellows.

The highly crystallized ground was uneven, with many protrusions, just like the mountain roads on Blue Star. Tracks would be ruined here before running for long, which was one of the reasons why humans hadn't conquered Maikan with tanks.

Such terrain didn't mean it had no impact on the mechs. It was said that the engineering department repaired and replaced the most, not the reactive armor, nor the various weapons, but the sensors on the soles of the feet.

The team's location was about two or three hundred meters from the Crystal Forest, and it was said that this simple difficulty map was specially chosen for Luo Rui's first time.

Indeed, such a scenario would hardly occur in reality. The Uruk Wolves charged out of the forest instead of ambushing the team inside the more complex forest. Even if the Uruk Wolves really didn't have much brains, they wouldn't do such a thing.

From the Crystal Forest to the front of the team, scattered across the yellow-black crystal ground were seven or eight Uruk Wolves, lying motionless, most likely already dead.

They were all unlucky ghosts selected by Luo Rui during the charge. Luo Rui's Archer Three was now equipped with two identical recoilless rifles. This was his choice after observing for a few days, because he found that although there were more rockets and the firing speed was faster, if he was confident in his accuracy, the recoilless rifle's lethality against silicon-based beasts far exceeded that of rockets.

Luo Rui happened to be quite confident in his accuracy, and the encounter just now proved this point. Twenty-three Uruk Wolves launched a charge from the Crystal Forest. When the team formed a defensive formation, Luo Rui's artillery took the lead.

He didn't deliberately choose to avoid the Uruk Wolves' armor. After all, with such numbers, it wasn't suitable to do fine work. Anyway, for armor-piercing rounds, the Uruk Wolves' armor was almost the same whether it was there or not. The warhead easily penetrated their defenses, and the subsequent high temperature burned their internal organs. The whole process was very fast, and the Uruk Wolves probably didn't die too painfully.

Although Luo Rui never missed, the distance between the two sides was too close. The Uruk Wolves' agile bodies quickly reached the front of the team in a few leaps, so Luo Rui only managed to get seven kills.

Niu Wei's Warrior Five took the lead. Two spikes suddenly popped out from under the shield. Warrior Five slammed it hard into the ground. Crystalline gravel flew, the spikes pierced in, and the shield was actually fixed to the ground.

Then Warrior Five took out a double-handed battle axe from behind, and with a sweep, he split open the head of the foremost Uruk Wolf. The Uruk Wolf whimpered, and its body immediately slumped down, but its companions behind it were not intimidated. Instead, using its body as cover, they pounced on Warrior Five.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was extremely close, and there was no room for the double-handed battle axe to be used. If Warrior Five retreated, he would inevitably be knocked down by the Uruk Wolf. In this kind of battle, once you fall, it is difficult to stand up again.

However, Niu Wei was experienced and didn't panic at all in the face of this small scene. Warrior Five suddenly ducked down, and the right shoulder armor with its ferocious spikes met the Uruk Wolf head-on.

The Uruk Wolf couldn't change direction in the air and was directly pierced by the spikes. It's just that the spikes didn't have enough lethality, and the Uruk Wolf was still struggling desperately.

Warrior Five reached out his left hand to his right shoulder, grabbed the Uruk Wolf and pulled it down. The movement was rough, and the spikes tore several large gashes in the Uruk Wolf's body. The internal organs fell to the ground with a crash, and even more fluids splashed all over Warrior Five.

The Uruk Wolf hadn't died yet at this time. It convulsed violently and wailed loudly, but Warrior Five didn't have the slightest pity. He swung his left arm hard and slammed it to the ground, then raised his right foot. The destructive power of this kick from a body weighing more than fifty tons can be imagined.

Bones pierced through flesh and blood, sticking out from around the metal foot, along with some fluids, and even more fluids spurted out from the gashes that had just been torn open. The crystal ground was immediately stained with black and green things, and Warrior Five stood on it like a god of war.

This was the mech battle that Luo Rui yearned for, fist to fist, the violent aesthetics of the machine, enough to make any man's blood boil. This was a romance that was different from the mech civil war.

But now, Luo Rui could only be protected behind his teammates, providing fire support for them from the rear. It wasn't easy to even get the mech dirty.

Two Warrior Sevens provided cover on the flanks of Warrior Five. They also carried battle axes. Although their armor was slightly insufficient, they were more flexible and had strong arm strength. The destructive power of the axe was extremely high.

Since they had entered close combat, the recoilless rifle lacked room to play. Luo Rui could only use the sniper grenade launcher and the semi-recessed machine gun on his arm to suppress the Uruk Wolves that were trying to break through the defense circle. These two weapons were more flexible, and although the caliber was slightly smaller, they still caused damage to the Uruk Wolves. Some of the Uruk Wolves that crossed the line were beaten so badly that they cried for their parents, and several bloody holes appeared in their bodies without armor protection, which looked very painful.

After being reminded by Lin Xinxin, Luo Rui quickly spotted several Uruk Wolves that had just crawled out of the forest, seemingly wanting to take the opportunity to sneak attack.

Two recoilless rifles turned at the same time. Maikan's gravity was lower, so the various parameters required for shooting were naturally different from Blue Star's. Fortunately, Luo Rui had practiced shooting in the Maikan environment for the past few days, and the new parameters and requirements were already memorized.

"Boom boom!"

Two armor-piercing rounds flew out, and the speed of the smoke seemed to be a bit slower, but the speed of the shells themselves didn't slow down. The Uruk Wolves didn't have time to react and were directly eliminated.

The other five saw that the situation was not good and immediately stood up. Just as they hesitated, a deafening roar came from the forest. The Uruk Wolves no longer hesitated and ran towards the team.

Luo Rui had already planned the order of attack just now. At this distance, he could guarantee that these five Uruk Wolves would fall on the charging road.

"Boom boom!" Another two consecutive shots, and two Uruk Wolves fell in response. But at this time, a greater crisis had already arrived. The roar just now seemed to be the horn of charge. Not only did these five Uruk Wolves launch a charge, but more Uruk Wolves rushed out of the Crystal Jungle.

Luo Rui: Didn't we agree on easy mode? This number doesn't seem like a newbie benefit.
