Chapter 187 70. Anti-tank assassins in the hell world
"The signal from Mason's Batmobile is gone!"
Barbara, who was driving a Lizard heavy tank that was so cool that it shouldn't appear in this world, speeding towards the Continental Hotel, suddenly lost the signal capture of the Batmobile, which made her use her brain and computer to capture the signal. Batgirl, who was connected to the tank's control weapon system, was shocked.
This dramatic change in emotions immediately affected human-computer interaction.
The heavy tank suddenly stopped as it advanced and then turned, causing Ergong, who was sitting in the co-pilot to inspect the assault equipment, to almost hit his head on the top of the driver's seat, which was not spacious.
"What are you going to do?"
Jason shouted:
"We should save Zha Kang!"
"Let Zha Kang die, a bastard like him will always find a way to escape, but I'm about to lose Mason's signal!"
Barbara opened her eyes and screamed:
"Selena and Gordon would kill me if I left him here."
"Passengers, please stabilize your emotions! Such drastic emotional changes under the interaction of fully conscious data may cause irreversible damage to your brain that has not been modified by frontal cortex prostheses."
The voice of the car-mounted AI Draman immediately sounded. It projected his bald male image in front of the demon lizard's console and comforted Barbara:
"The sub-thread data of this program has just been recovered. Passenger No. 1, Mr. Mason Cooper, did not suffer any life damage, but the very good vehicle Batmobile temporarily entered a shutdown state due to high-energy impact.
According to the analysis of the last picture returned during the sub-thread data recovery, Mr. Mason was chasing and fighting in the dark with a killer from this world who was suspected to be Johnny Silverhand's space-time alien body.
Passenger No. 4, please rest assured!
According to the calculation of this program, the probability of Mr. Mason winning this chase is no less than 60%.
On the contrary, if you still cannot get to the Continental Hotel within five minutes, the probability of His Excellency John Constantine's survival will decrease rapidly.
Just two minutes ago, his biosignal had sent an injury message. ”
"Wait! When can you receive his biological signals?"
Barbara finally calmed down. She looked at Delamain's data projection and asked:
"Zha Kang doesn't have a biological monitor in his body, right? He always hates those things."
"Passenger No. 1, Mr. Mason, will give you a hand-made jewelry before he leads the three of you into this world. The jewelry contains the simplest biosignal monitoring and transmission device."
Delamain did not hide anything and said honestly:
"This device will be passively activated when a member of Team K is injured. This program is responsible for receiving the information and relaying it to Mr. Mason. Now that Passenger No. 1 is absent, the response authority is delegated to Passenger No. 4, Barbara Go. Miss Den.”
"Am I number four?"
Barbara curled her lips, and while recalibrating the route of the Demon Lizard to the flight route to the Continental Hotel, she whispered:
"Okay, I guess passenger number two is Selina Kyle? Passenger number three is Charles Brown?"
"No, according to the latest modification record of this program's distributed database, the second passenger of this program's response authority is Bruce Wayne, and the third passenger is Selina Kyle.
Mr. Charles Brown's identity has been changed to the mechanical maintenance engineer of Team K. Under normal circumstances, he is a logistics personnel and is not included in the combatant sequence. ”
The non-psychotic car AI told Barbara the news she was interested in in a very calm manner, and Mason's arrangement of responding to permissions made Batgirl and Ertun look at each other.
Even Jason, who never paid much attention to these things, couldn't help but ask:
"Does this response authority mean that if Mason dies, the authority for all engineering-related weapons of Team K will be transferred to Bruce?
What is he going to do?
Are you planning to make Bruce the next captain of K-Team? ”
"Passenger No. 5 has insufficient authority and this program refuses to answer the question."
Delamain refused to answer the question for the first time with a straight face.
Barbara blinked and said:
"I am the current temporary permission holder. If I asked you, you should answer, right? Delamain."
"This program is a highly realistic intelligent AI. My understanding of 'authority' is very flexible. I also refuse to answer your question."
Delamain explained very seriously this time:
"Passenger No. 1 Mr. Mason Cooper's arrangements for the K-Team after his own accident are top-level information. This program shall not disclose any relevant information unless with his permission.
But in order to silence your mouths and curiosity, this program will tell you that your guess is wrong.
Compared to Mr. Bruce Wayne, the extra-staff ‘honorary member’ of the K-Team, Mr. Mason obviously believes more in his real teammates, and the next captain will be born among you.
Okay, the chat time is over!
The armed vehicle is approaching the combat zone, and the fire from the front is judged to be highly dangerous! All weapon systems are unlocked, please prepare the two passengers for battle immediately.
Combat mode is activated during the switching of Draman's driving program!
Didi!
Kill you!
king! eight! Egg! ”
After a second of silence, the harsh noise sounded again.
Accompanied by the roar of the anti-gravity engine of the Demon Lizard Tank, it accelerated in an instant and smashed into the burning ruins of houses in front of it, sending the armored vehicle parked outside the Continental Hotel flying into the air.
This collision immediately attracted the attention of the heavily armored attackers all around. Those heavily armored assassins "Elder Guards" dressed like the upgraded "rogue warriors" fought back with great tactical knowledge. More than seven people were killed at one time. A firepower point began to pour firepower on the Demon Lizard heavy tank that appeared under the burning night.
But their counterattack was still coming. When they actually entered the vicinity of the Continental Hotel, Barbara and Ertong's expressions became extremely heavy.
They don't know what this building looked like before, but just from the fact that the main building and the three surrounding streets are on fire, it looks like it was dropped by more than ten tons of aerial bombs, leaving only broken walls. It seems that if Zha Kang was hiding here before, then the two of them would be able to find Constantine's complete body if they come here now.
These assassins are too outrageous! How could anyone engage in such a nuclear explosion-style assassination!
You might as well blow up the entire city. With this density of firepower, let alone B-level personnel, even if the Grand Instructor comes, they may not be able to withstand it.
"Are we late?"
Ergong, who was already ready to break into the enemy camp to rescue his teammates, felt a little numb now.
He looked at the scene in front of him through the cockpit of the Demon Lizard heavy tank, which was made of special composite armor materials and was one-way transparent from the inside to the outside and could observe the battlefield 360 degrees. More than two hundred heavily armed assassins were shooting at their tanks with portable Vulcan cannons. The sparks and ricochet splashed from the reactive armor almost covered his eyes.
I heard Zha Kang say before that there are more than a dozen B-class personnel who came to this world to "gold hunt" living in this hotel,
I guess there’s no need to look for it now.
Based on this intensity of firepower, it is estimated that during the first wave of bombings by the assassins in this world, those guys whose minds were manipulated by the golden apples and were completely unaware of the danger would probably be turned into ashes.
"Fire! What are you waiting for!"
Barbara shouted.
It is obviously more convenient for her to use her full consciousness to aim and launch through human-computer interaction. While the second barrel is still activating the two-unit 25MM automatic cannon on the rear of the Demon Lizard tank, the four-unit thermal tactical missile on the left side of the tank has already been dragged. With its long tail flame, it created clouds of fireworks on the devastated battlefield.
This "backward weapon" from Night City may not look good when used against real military mechas or space carriers of the same era, but when these things fall on flesh and blood, the effect is extremely cruel.
After all, even if you, a normal person, are wearing a one-meter-thick body armor, you can't withstand the bombardment of thermal missiles, right?
After six consecutive rounds of thermal missiles washed the ground, the seven fire points blocking the Demon Lizard tank all went silent. As the suspended heavy tank continued to move forward, the vehicle-mounted AI quickly sent out a message.
"Mr. John Constantine's life signal is in the burning ruins on the left front! Please note that there are multiple very dangerous biological signals there!
The intensity of their threat reminds me of Adam Hammer"
"Who is that?"
Ertun controlled the cannon to aim at the ruins and asked casually.
Barbara, who was still interacting with the demon lizard with her eyes closed, replied casually:
"There is a legendary mercenary in Night City. When I went shopping with Judy to get her nails done, I heard her tell about that guy's deeds. He was a guy who would do anything for power. It was said that he replaced all his organs with steel.
Now I'll take over the weapons system, Jason.
After we crash in, you come to rescue them. No matter what is there, don't get involved with them. Take Zha Kang with you and we'll leave immediately. ”
"Yeah."
Ergong put his red battle helmet on his head, carried the silver Gryffindor Revenge Sword behind his back, and grabbed the two Archangel kinetic energy revolvers made for him by Mason with both hands.
Although the firepower of this thing is definitely not as good as the Demon Lizard heavy tank that is rumbling forward now, it has been proven in the previous battles in the old spider world that it can easily destroy any conventional armor in close combat, even if The two pistols, which can easily kill any spellcaster when unconventionally loaded with magic bullets, have become Jason's "favorite".
The most important thing is that it is handsome enough
Which man can resist the temptation of these two cuties?
"Delaman, prepare to inject nitrogen and evacuate as soon as we rescue people."
After Barbara deployed the command to the onboard AI, she changed direction and steered it towards the burning ruins. They rushed in despite the gunfire from the "heavy-armed assassins" around them.
It's all sparks and lightning all the way.
If the scandium alloy reactive armor of this thing wasn't really strong enough, just the act of rushing in would be enough to knock them down halfway.
The war machine given by the Afterlife team as a thank you gift is really awesome.
When it crashed into the ruins arbitrarily, including Zha Kang, who was hiding in the corner and grinning, frantically summoning the fire of hell in an attempt to burn the attackers, and A-class personnel Albert Wei, who was fighting in close combat with the Assassin Saints. Everyone, including Sk, was startled by the sudden movement.
However, they were stunned, but Barbara didn't waste time. The low sound of the machine gun immediately roared and swept the fatal bullets towards the seven or eight assassin saints in white and black robes in front, but they were quickly dodged by the opponent's quick reaction. At the same time, several people drew out weird protective shields to resist the storm of bullets that could tear apart steel.
The two barrels jumped out of the cockpit when it bounced off, and with a perfect fear attack, they pounced on the saint who was attacking Zha Kang. Both guns fired together, causing the latter to burst into blood, and when Zha Kang shouted, He screamed and fell back after being hit head-on by the hellfire.
Okay.
It wasn't until he saw Zha Kang starting fires everywhere that Er Tong realized belatedly that his scumbag teammates had helped to make the building burn to nothing but ruins.
"Can I still leave?"
Er Tong rushed up to support the shaky Constantine. The latter nodded weakly and put a blood-stained box in Er Tong's hand into Er Tong's hand.
Jason was stunned for a moment.
Then he quietly hid it in his bag and dragged Zha Kang back to the fire-fighting lizard tank.
"Let's go!"
He shouted, and the onboard AI immediately reversed quickly amid weapons fire.
But at the same time, a dazzling arc of light lit up from a high place, hitting the outer armor of the Demon Lizard tank like a meteorite in the hail of bullets.
There was a loud clicking sound.
In the violent vibration, the advanced reactive armor that could withstand the close range bombardment of anti-tank rockets was actually shattered by one blow. Ertun, who had just returned to the cockpit, widened his eyes and saw only the torn outer armor in front of him being inserted. Holding a rune war spear with sparks of lightning.
There were mysterious golden geometric runes beating on it, which represented rising power. Then a figure in white robes appeared beside the spear, grabbed it, swiped it downwards, and then lifted it upwards.
"Bang"
A third of the armor outside the cockpit of the thick Demon Lizard heavy tank suddenly flew away.
This.
This is probably the legendary Isu artifact, it is really powerful! But Sujie's Eagle is obviously an Isu artifact, but it has no such power in the hands of Catwoman.
"Warning! The reactive armor is seriously damaged! Warning! The atomic battery is damaged! The risk of radiation leakage increases!"
Delamain's changed warning sound echoed in the chaos. Erbub raised his guns and pulled the trigger forward. However, the bullets flying out at such a distance that was almost close to the face were dodged by the opponent one after another.
But Jason jumped out of the cockpit without fear and engaged the opponent in close combat.
As a weapons master, Ergong was not at all intimidated by the two-meter-long "anti-tank spear".
This thing looks awesome.
But its length makes it an absolute burden in close combat.
Seeing the two members of Team K running to save people trying to bring them in, the eyes of Class A personnel Wesker, who was blocked by the Saint Assassins on the other side, suddenly flashed red under his sunglasses.
He also realized that in this situation, the only chance to escape from the desperate encirclement and suppression by these Assassin Saints was that incredible-looking vehicle.
So the noble A-level boss also got angry.
As the weird hot breath erupted, tentacles like magma snakes sprang out from the sleeves of his black windbreaker and swept around.
There was also poisonous and corrosive smoke splashing outwards, forcing the approaching Assassin Saint to retreat. At the same time, Wesker rushed out of the encirclement like teleporting and crashed into the Assassin Saint who was fighting with the two barrels. The virus' tentacles wrapped around him and threw him outwards.
The onboard AI Draman seized the opportunity to activate the nitrogen injection, and the Demon Lizard tank, which had lost one-third of its outer armor, retreated at super speed and then sped towards the sky behind with billowing black smoke.
Fortunately, this thing doesn't need wheels or tracks, otherwise there would be no way for it to successfully break through on the nearby road.
Although it is difficult for it to completely escape the constraints of gravity beyond a height of five meters, the assassin also lacks the preparation to deal with such an all-terrain vehicle with thick skin and powerful firepower.
After all, you can't always use the Isu artifact in your hand as an "anti-tank spear."
These good things passed down by our ancestors also suffer from wear and tear.
Seeing the tattered hover tank dragging black smoke out of the burning battlefield under the cover of Class A personnel Wesker who had entered the "transformed form", the leader of the Assassin Saints immediately reached out to stop his companions. Plan to pursue.
He pulled his hood down and said:
"No need to chase anymore! The Aurora Device has been activated. This world has been completely isolated from the outside world. They can't escape! We still need our help to clear other areas, brothers and sisters."
"But that evil virus creation is very difficult to deal with, and he is worthy of being a dangerous Class A personnel."
A female assassin saint covering her chest and coughing whispered:
"The ancient bloodline can hardly resist that evil thing. They also took away the golden apples placed here by the Templars. Maybe we should ask for support?"
"Support? No, no need!"
The leader of the saints shook his head and said:
"The elder foresaw the difficulty of this battle before, so he made complete preparations. Don't worry, the legendary Ms. Cassandra has arrived here.
Although the bait did not attract the real leader of the enemy, we cannot ask for more at this moment. We must eliminate these chaotic poisons!
Only in this way can the world face the end of the world without any worries.
That legendary disaster. "(End of Chapter)
