Start with Mechanical Hunter

In Gasoline Town, people are coming and going, and few people stop to watch in front of the electronic screen.

Without it, at this point in the hunting war, it has shifted from a mechanical hunter hunting wild beasts to a stage where both sides hunt each other.

Even in Gasoline Town, more than a dozen mechanical hunters have died unexpectedly, all of them being attacked by radiation beasts.

The radiation beast does not have martial ethics, and it will not fight you with real swords and guns. In fact, the night is the time when the radiation beast is active.

More people died in areas where scavengers gathered, which can be said to be horrific.

In fact, not many people care about this ranking now, because the premise of caring about "tiddy news" is that the mechanical hunter must win, but from the current point of view, no one dares to guarantee whether this battle can be won.

People's panic is the best portrayal of today's oasis.

As the sun sets, three figures stand in front of the electronic screen, one is fat, one is thin, and one is neither fat nor thin.

The one in the middle looked pale and looked not in good condition.

"So many unfamiliar faces."

The rankings have undergone earth-shaking changes again.

Ranked first is the Symbiosis Team, a hunting team that has never been heard of before, but is incredibly powerful.

According to rumors, their energy weapons and high-powered armors cannot even be torn apart by the minions of C-class Radiant Beasts.

Ranked second is another unexpected name - The Creeper.

The one on the right, a cyborg with exposed wire ducts, was stunned for a while before saying in disbelief:

"The Creepers, weren't they destroyed by the group?"

The huge fat man on the left scratched his head.

"Will they be resurrected, Brother Gao?"

"Who knows."

The one in the middle shrugged.

The changes in Gasoline Town have been so great that it is completely invisible.

Various bunkers, thick city walls, patrolling drones, and the dark machine gun muzzles on the observation deck.

Are you ready for the beast tide to attack the city?

On the ranking list, in addition to the first-ranked Symbiosis Team, the ‘resurrected’ Creeper, and the third-ranked Sanzo Miyamoto.

Others are all new faces.

The established teams were ‘completely wiped out’.

Even the newcomers who were very aggressive before, such as the Predator Squad, the Bioman, the Dog Hunters, and the Bombers, have disappeared without a trace.

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Are the waves behind now also being swept to death?

"Let's go and pick up your mother. We'll find the boss later."

The thin man patted the fat man, and the two sat back in the armored tank. Amidst the roar of the huge engine, the tank roared away.

The man in the middle lit a cigarette and walked slowly into the gasoline town.

Soon, word began to spread that someone was back.

"The lone wolf is back?"

"Lone Wolf, that new Assassin Master? Isn't it rumored that he was assassinated by Miyamoto Sanzo?"

"I heard he died at the front."

"Like Grey-Eyed Adrian?"

"So many masters have died. One more of them is not more, and one less of him is not more."

The Black Gasoline Bar is still lively, but there are all new faces, and there are not even many ‘old faces’ from ten days ago.

When a new generation replaces the old, in terms of high elimination rate, no profession can compare with the mechanical hunter.

"He was just a deserter. I remember he ran away ten days ago."

A certain 'old face' said suddenly.

"Oh? What's going on? Brother, tell me."

The ‘old face’ took the cigarette offered by the newcomer with some satisfaction. Although he had only been in Auto City for a month, he was already old enough.

"He is also a senior hunter, and he can still hunt, but he is a slick old man. He runs away faster than anyone else when the situation is bad. It seems that he disappeared ten days ago. He is really old and cunning."

"How did he escape?"

"What kind of connection?"

There were only a few people listening at first, but as soon as they heard 'run away', a bunch of people immediately gathered around.

It was obvious that they were quite interested in the topic of 'running away'.

The ‘old face’ really enjoys the feeling of being surrounded by stars. In his impression, this is the kind of treatment that only real old people can receive.

"Don't think about it. It was the early days of the war, and the security regiment was not strict. Anyone who dares to run away now will definitely be the first to be shot down by those robots."

He raised the 'battlefield recorder' on his wrist.

"Did you see, the latest model of 'handcuffs', non-detachable, satellite positioning, drone tracking, there is no way to escape!"

There was a sudden sigh of disappointment.

Some people expressed dissatisfaction: "In this case, what is the difference between us and those corporate guinea pigs?"

"It's just a guinea pig. What they implanted is a surveillance chip. Their lives are much more valuable than ours."

Everyone sighed and expressed their strong regret that they could not escape.

Seeing that the topic showed signs of being changed, the 'old face' suddenly became a little anxious.

"Ahem, let's get back to the business. Actually, I know the lone wolf named Gao. He has always been the kind of spineless and duplicitous person. Being a deserter is a normal thing. Do you know? Before he became famous, he often worked as a duck to make money. Not only women can have sex with money, but men can also have sex. Can such a person have any backbone?"

Seeing everyone staring at him blankly, the 'old face' started blowing even more vigorously.

"That person used to form a team with me. They said we were in a team, but he was actually my younger brother. At that time, he was not as famous as he is now. He was a very humble person——"

The ‘Old Face’’s neck tightened suddenly.

It turned out that at some point, a huge figure sitting in the corner stood up, and a thick metal arm grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"Hei, Hei Shen, I'm not talking about you!"

The mechanical giant drank all the beer from a barrel of gasoline, and then viciously hit the opponent's head with the beer barrel.

"You insulted him! How dare you insult him! Only I can insult him, and I am the only one worthy of killing him!"

The metal fist like a pile driver hit the opponent's head again and again. After an unknown number of blows, with a 'pop', the 'old face''s head exploded like a watermelon.

In the horrified eyes of everyone, Black God casually dropped the headless corpse and staggered out. His legs, waist, hips, and back were all inserted with powerful mechanical modules. As he walked, There was still faint blood flowing from the implanted mouth.

The Black God, who ranks ninth on the hunting list, is also a lone wolf.

And in a box in the bar.

Wilson, the fire thief, heard the commotion outside, but showed no sign of movement. He just focused on drinking. To his left and right were two android prostitutes with only small pieces of cloth hanging on their bodies.

"Okay, Wilson, stop drinking," Desila frowned and glanced at him.

"You guys go out," Huang Wen said calmly.

The two android prostitutes stood up sluggishly. They were walking zombies, at the mercy of their customers.

Simply put, whoever pays has the final say.

Obviously, the person who made the decision this time was none other than the mechanic Huang Wen.

Looking at Wilson who was covered in straps, Desila sighed.

"Old Huang, what do you want to do by calling us here specifically?"

Huang Wen looks like a handsome boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, but this "pure face" is just because he has undergone bionic transformation. His real age is over forty, and he is the oldest among the three.

He is also a veteran, and unlike other low-income people who come to the desert to seek a living, he once had a very privileged career as a mechanical engineer in Factory No. 18.

People have great ambitions and never lose their heart when they are hurt. Among the three, Huang Wen is the calmest.

"In the battle at Scavenger City, our three teams suffered serious losses. Wilson's mechanical corps was directly defeated. Half of my team members were invaded by wild viruses into their nervous systems and are still unconscious. Daisy La's team also has a third of your team. human losses.”

"Get the fuck out of the animal hordes, get out of the fuck security corps, they just want us to die!" Wilson yelled.

Among the three, Huang Wen was on the southern front, Wilson was on the northern front, and only Daisyla was on the eastern front in the direction of Scavenger City.

However, a major battle commanded by the famous legion general, General Hells, brought them together.

The target is directly at the beast tide that is about to break out in the Scavenger City.

The combined armies of the three oases.

All the powerful hunters in the central desert gathered together.

The security regiment also spent a lot of money, and all the weapons and equipment in this battle were free.

Even prosthetics can be installed for free.

With such favorable conditions, what greeted them was an unprecedented rout.

The purely mechanized armies drawn from the front line were overwhelmed by the beast tide, let alone Wilson's small mechanical team.

Huang Wen's fire defense line was directly infected by more than a dozen wild electronic viruses, and he turned his guns and killed many friendly troops.

As for Desila, she ran away immediately when she saw the situation was not going well, still losing one-third of her manpower.

This is why in the rankings, almost all the veteran teams have undergone major changes.

Huang Wen was very calm. He said softly: "Let's cooperate. This is the only way to go."

"Cooperation?" Desila was stunned, and Wilson stopped scolding her.

"Three hunting teams, merge into one team, so that we can have a chance to compete for first place."

"You still want to fight?"

Wilson looked at the other person in surprise, as if he was meeting this person for the first time.

After witnessing the desperate power of the beast tide, the opponent still wanted to fight.

"Do we have any other options?"

"Yes, waiting for the mechanical corps to be dispatched!"

"What if it doesn't move?"

"impossible!"

Desila paused and sighed.

"Old Huang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that my manpower cannot support the next stage of the war."

"If nothing else, are there any lone radioactive beasts outside the Auto City?"

Having said this, Desila smiled self-deprecatingly. Now the lone threshold was no longer a beast, but an entire herd.

Huang Wen frowned. He didn't expect the beast tide to hit the two of them so hard.

This is true for veteran captains, but what about the rookies?

"What do you mean, Wilson."

Wilson burped and uttered one word crisply.

"roll!"

…

Not satisfied with his drink, Wilson staggered out of the bar, bumping into several people during the process. The people he bumped into were too angry to say anything. It was obvious that a tiger could not be separated, at least in Gasoline Town, this bearded man The reputation is quite intimidating.

Wilson scoffed at Huang Wen's proposal.

Huang Wen has a background, and he, Wilson, is not a fool. After all, he can do well in this man-eating desert, but there are a few people who have no background.

He was able to assemble hundreds of mechanical exoskeletons. Without the help of people within the Mechanical Legion, how could he possibly buy them.

In fact, there is also a force within the legion supporting him in this fight for the right to develop the oasis.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Under the overwhelming offensive of the beast horde, all the hard work he had spent years putting together was wiped out in one battle.

My mentality was completely shattered.

"We can't stay here any longer."

Wilson decided to wait for the Legion from the front to come back, and then follow the Legion out of here. Whoever wants to stay in this shitty radiation zone can stay there.

As he walked through an alley, his feet suddenly stopped. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark shadow behind him.

A person in front of me was slowly walking over.

The bearded man narrowed his eyes and subconsciously touched his waist with his hands.

"Wilson, leader of the Fire Thief Squad."

"It's your grandpa!"

He suddenly pulled out the energy weapon on his waist. It was a limited-edition plasma pistol from the Mechanical Corps. Generally, only military officers above a major would own it. This was a high-end weapon that did not belong in this desert.

However, the figure was faster.

About three minutes later, a bartender hurried over and took off his pants to urinate.

A strong smell of blood came from around him.

He turned around and saw a figure sitting against the wall.

"you--"

The figure slowly fell down, and the waiter was shocked to find that the other person's body was covered with blood holes, especially his right arm, which was broken at the elbow.

Third-hand Desila was also on her way back, but unlike Wilson, she actually agreed with Huang Wen's proposal.

What she didn't agree with was that, according to Huang Wen's tone, if the joint team was successfully formed, he would be the leader.

Obviously, among the three established teams, ‘Edelweiss’ has suffered the least loss.

As soon as she left Gasoline Town, there was a pause in her step.

The stress mode of the two mechanical arms was activated directly, the folding handle popped out of the palm, and with a fierce swing of both hands, two folding swords were ejected.

"who?!"

The weirdo standing in front of her was a half-human, half-machine body. Under the head was a mechanical body, but on the mechanical body, there were a large number of bright red muscles squirming.

Biochemical muscle? No, biochemical muscles do not have such dynamism.

Desila cast her gaze on the opponent's chest. On his alloy chest, there was a crest of a flesh shield and a metal spear imprinted on it.

She had seen this coat of arms, and it seemed to be the symbol of a terrorist organization.

"Full of fighting spirit, nice eyes!"

This strange man slowly walked towards him. As he moved, a fire burned in the center of the shield and spear, that is, in the chest area.

"I am——Hoss, the Flame Knight!"

Huang Wen did not leave the bar.

In fact, Desila and Wilson were neither the first nor the last captains he met.

He never puts eggs in a cage.

But the plan didn't go smoothly.

The people who came here were either scared out of their wits by the beast tide, or they had their own thoughts. There were very few people who were truly worthy of cooperation.

In the final analysis, among the violent professional group of mechanical hunters, the most convincing people are always fists.

As for battlefield wisdom and battlefield command, are you as good as the generals of the mechanical army?

He can't do it, so why do you say you can?

Huang Wen frowned and thought. With his small eyebrows and his youthful and innocent face, it was enough to pretend to be young.

"Tsk tsk, my little brother is so cute."

Huang Wen suddenly raised his head and rushed to the window without any hesitation.

However, the next moment, electronic ripples flashed on the window, and his whole body was bounced back.

"You're running really fast. How about you try your drones again to see if they work?"

Huang Wen took a deep breath and saw a large number of grid light spots appearing in the box, constantly pressing towards him.

"Cyber ​​hacker, prosthetic control!"

Both of Huang Wen's eyes have been modified with prosthetic eyes, and electronic protective shields have been installed.

However, the ‘firewall’ did not have the slightest effect.

Only top cyber hackers can do this.

"It's not hacking, it's knightly skills."

"Knight skills? You are a member of the Knights!" Huang Wen was silent for a moment and then said: "Do you accept surrender? I can accept any controllable prosthetic transformation."

"Hehe, little brother, you are so good, but no, the knights don't add outsiders, no, they don't add 'people'."

"Little brother, before you die, remember that my sister is the Electronic Knight Selena!"

The next moment, an electronic grid covers everything.

In the private room, Huang Wen was still sitting on the sofa. His hands were clenched tightly and his whole body was shaking. Electronic sparks exploded all the way where the prosthetic body was connected, first to the left eye, then to the right eye, and finally to the head. parts.

With a 'pop' sound, his head exploded, revealing black electronic components. In the scorched smoke, Huang Wen fell to the ground.

…

In Sister Rose's garage, next to a telephone, the senior engineer blocked his ears and allowed an angry roar to come from the phone.

"I'm asking you to endure it for two days, I'm not asking you to disappear right where you are."

"Ten days, ten days in total. Do you know how much money I've lost these days?"

"Sister Rose almost tore me apart!"

After a long while, the senior engineer said cheerfully: "Brother Zhizou, I haven't seen you for a few days. I didn't expect you to miss me so much."

"What the hell have you been doing these days?!" Little Finger yelled angrily on the other end of the phone.

Gao Gong opened his palms. I don't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed to be different from before.

"I didn't do anything. I just went to get circumcised. I'm in pretty good condition now."

"What's the use of your good condition now? The entire defense line has collapsed."

"I heard that there was another war in the Scavenger City a few days ago?" Gao Gong picked up the phone and crossed his legs. "You were on the front line at the time. Weren't you being pretended to be a military doctor? What was the situation at that time?"

Littlefinger's voice was full of fear.

"It's a tragic mess. The beast tide on the front line has not yet been resolved. I didn't expect that a beast tide broke out here as well."

"Fortunately, I am a logistics worker and was among the first to evacuate, otherwise I would have been unable to leave."

"So powerful, isn't it said that Hells is a famous general of the Mechanical Corps? I heard that he even brought the elite of the Mechanical Corps here."

"Shit elite, this old boy saw that the situation was not good and ran faster than anyone else. Fortunately, your brother Zhizou was not a fool. He was well prepared and boarded his plane on the spot."

The little finger on the other end let out a long breath, feeling lingering fear.

"The tide of beasts is really terrifying!"

"All radiation fields are connected together, all electronic equipment is malfunctioning, the sky is pitch black, completely covered by mechanical birds, and a large number of deformed plants are growing on the ground, creating a concrete forest in place, and the radiation value of the battlefield directly breaks through the sky. , in the end, what everyone was fighting for was not weapons and ammunition, but radiation needles; the monsters in the beast tide seemed to be desperate for their lives. The offensive was getting stronger and stronger, and the mechanical defense line only blocked it for three days before the entire line collapsed. Later, According to statistics, the number of radioactive beasts appearing on the battlefield is as high as five million."

"Why didn't the security team make any preparations?" Senior Engineer wondered.

"Why didn't you do it? The security team's expectation for the scale of the war is that two A-level beasts at full status can barely bear it, even three."

"Aren't there only two A-level monster leaders?"

In the senior engineer's impression, both the A-level Radiation Queen and the A-level Fission Duke were injured. No matter what, they wouldn't be like this.

"Yes, but who would have thought that these two monsters can actually merge, and once they merge, they will become an authentic S-class beast king."

"This is not an A-level beast tide, but a standard beast king tide."

"Well--"

The senior engineer was also speechless. They were actually able to fit together. The relationship between the two sexes immediately became androgynous.

"Forget it, it's okay if you didn't come, otherwise your kid's life would probably be in danger."

After talking for a long time, Littlefinger finally said something human.

"By the way, where's Sister Rose?"

"Sister Rose went to a banquet, to a certain desert chief's house."

"So chic?"

"Of course not. That old nigger invited all the desert tycoons, and the issues discussed are most likely related to this war."

"I don't feel good anyway."

It was quite bad. Gao Gong touched his chin. He didn't know how these desert tycoons planned to fool the people above, but he knew that if they continued to fool them like this, the oases would be pulled out one by one by the beasts like nails.

By the time of the Battle of Hydera, the Mechanical Legion didn't even have a front-line base.

Gao Gong suddenly felt something in his heart and said, "Hang up the phone now. Let's talk when we have time."

"No, let's chat for a few more minutes. I'm surrounded by robots now. It's really boring——"

"If you're bored, just play on a virtual machine."

The senior engineer hung up the phone and looked around calmly.

Except for the luxury cars, there was no movement at all in the garage.

The senior engineer switched to infrared mode, but in the red field of vision, there was also no figure.

‘Can you block the heat source? ’

The next moment, a strong wind blew against his face. Gao Gong turned around violently, and a huge scratch appeared on the ground.

‘The radiation beasts have invaded the core of the oasis, and the security team is really a bunch of trash. ’

‘Just try this trick. ’

As soon as the senior engineer had an idea, his eyes suddenly turned fishy yellow, and at the same time, a terrifying aura crazily overflowed and enveloped the entire abandoned factory.

The next moment, in the eyes of the invisible radiation beast, this human being changed his appearance.

The senior engineer's head elongated, his body grew taller and taller, and he soon grew to three meters tall. The bright red steel bones revealed full danger, and the dagger-like teeth were ragged. As he breathed, the high temperature made the air distort. .
