Chapter 1568 Drawing Attraction and Splitting the Work
As the vanguard, Big Dipper was very conscientious.
When he charged into the station twice before, a lot of drones were released during the chaos.
Thus, the squad members could clearly see what was going on inside the station.
Under Frank’s arrangements, everyone had a clear objective.
Angel, who was the first to charge in, had already smashed her way through the humanoid monsters bare-handed, like a cannonball. Her arms and legs swung out, and sent the monsters flying far into the distance.
When she charged through the hole created by the missile, the civilians were in the corner diagonally behind her.
Angel just needed to attack the humanoid monsters within a 180-degree angle to avoid accidentally injuring the civilians. Also, she charged toward where the humanoid monsters were most densely packed together and completely ignored the sporadic attacks from a scattered few.
Alice, who had followed closely behind her, was still invisible. A transparent and distorted shadow moved quickly through the dimly lit station as black claws cut through the air and cut open the heads of the scattered humanoid monsters.
When the Enchantress noticed, she couldn’t help but curse her lackeys. “Idiots.”
The metal door suddenly opened, and a black light beam shot out at Angel, who was charging through the crowd.
The black light beam was so fast that Angel was. .h.i.t before she could react. The beam of light then deflected off her and headed right for Alice, despite the latter being invisible.
When the black light beam shot out, Alice nimbly flashed past two humanoid monsters and pierced their heads with her hands. She then brought her hands together to use the monsters’ bodies as a s.h.i.+eld.
The black light beam hit the humanoid monsters.
As if coming back to life, the humanoid monsters struggled violently.
Thanks to the three claws in their heads though, they “died” once more, and they went limp again.
Then… thanks to the black light beam, they “came back to life” again, and then “died” again.
Protected by this monster “s.h.i.+eld,” Alice was pretty much unscathed.
At that moment, the black light beam turned around to shoot back at Angel.
Seizing that moment, Angel decisively raised her hands to use a pulse cannon in a rare moment.
She didn’t use the most common attack mode, but the high-energy plasma mode. The bright plasma beam instantly collided with the returning black light beam.
There was a strange, low hissing sound that made one’s ears tingle.
The energy contained in the black light beam was extraordinary, and it quickly overpowered the plasma beam as it approached Angel, albeit at a much slower rate.
At that moment, there was a loud bang and Selina charged in with the tank.
Everybody could see what was going on.
The attack on Angel had been part of the plan.
She had the thickest armor of them all, and her reactor consumed the least energy since she didn’t use the flight function or pulse cannon much.
She was best at fighting head-on.
Conversely, it was best not to give her too complicated a strategy.
As for Frank, for whom the mission always came first, he could always make things very simple.
Angel’s task was to distract the Enchantress and then hold on until reinforcements arrived.
At most, they would just lose a special android. In any case, the big boss was rich, and they could afford the loss.
The bigshot who sold everything was also very good at taking things back; there was no need to worry about the damaged special models and armor being picked up by someone else.
While Angel was fending off the attack, Selina charged in between the plasma beam and the black light beam.
A piece of heavy armor in the center of the tank pulled back to reveal the reactor that was protected inside. The white light quickly turned bright enough to blind people.
Boom!
A plasma cannon that was five times stronger than Angel’s pulse cannon shot out and hit the black light beam.
The bigger the bulk, the stronger the energy.
The size and position of the reactor had to be taken into consideration, as well as how durable the parts were during a high energy output. The firepower support unit was about the size of an armored car. Giving it a reactor the size of a bucket just meant a thousand artillery sh.e.l.ls less.
er
Of course, Luke wouldn’t give it such a high configuration. The reactor was only as big as a bowl.
The energy was shot out through a circular barrel which didn’t take up a lot of s.p.a.ce, but which was enough to launch an extremely powerful energy cannon attack.
The difference in power between an energy cannon and a pulse cannon was like the difference between a 150mm field cannon and a 20mm machine gun. The black light beam, which could suppress Angel’s pulse cannon, collapsed under the violent output.
The black light beam was instantly vaporized by the thick white plasma beam.
Remnants of the white plasma beam shot toward the station entrance.
Selina turned the tank at the right moment, and the plasma beam swept over dozens of humanoid monsters which ran inside, instantly vaporizing half of them.
Everybody had a rough idea of each other’s movements, and Frank’s simple instructions and reminders rang out every now and then.
Angel retracted her pulse cannon in time, but still light scored the tank when Selina cut in.
At that moment, another opening appeared in the metal door.
Selina didn’t even turn around as she fired.
A mini guided missile shot out with a bang toward the opening. Boom!
Selina sighed regretfully. Clearly, the Enchantress had quick reflexes. The opening closed in time and didn’t hit her.
Selina ordered the A.I. program to start playing the pre-recording on a loop, then asked, “How’s it going with Big Dipper?”
The remote-controlled special model Dark Knight said casually, “He’s landed and is holding the other party back. We have to pick up the pace with the rescue operation.”
The ears of the civilians in the station rang with the sounds of fighting and explosions.
However, a loud electronic voice was still audible in the hall. “The monsters outside have been eliminated. Everybody, leave through the
gap.”
As the recording played again, several drones in the hall projected a series of white arrows on the ground toward the corner which the team had blown open earlier.
There was now a gap that was over ten meters wide.
After the missile broke the wall, Selina had used the tank to push away most of the debris, thus creating an extremely convenient escape route.
The civilians were stumped for a few seconds. Finally, someone made up his mind and stumbled forward.
This smart man bellowed as he pulled his shaky wife along, “Let’s go. Are you going to stay here and wait for death? There’s still another one inside…”
He didn’t continue.
He had seen for himself that the female monster behind the metal door could hear what the people outside said.
Only after he pulled his wife along over ten meters did the rest of the confused civilians catch his meaning.
