Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 41: The sickle in the sewer
Sulun and Kai were both injured, leaving bloodstains on the ground.
However, since it is a pursuit, everyone in the Steam Party does not dare to slow down. They walked near the platform. Suddenly, the guy at the front didn't see the tiny thread under his feet and stepped on it.
Unfortunately, when the grenade safety lever bounced away with a "clang" sound, the burly steel gorilla immediately became alert and stood in front of everyone like lightning.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and fire exploded.
But with little success.
Ordinary grenade damage is really limited against the Steam Party members who are fully armed and most of the members have been modified with mechanical prosthetics.
Time did not allow for the deployment of more booby traps, but in fact, Su Lun did not expect that this method would cause many casualties to the enemy.
The sound of the explosion is used to disrupt the enemy's formation, and... it is enough to attract the monster's attention!
.....
Su Lun listened to the sound of the explosion and stood up from the bunker without any hesitation. The moment he raised his arms, the muzzles of the two muskets were already spitting tongues of fire towards the Steam Party members a hundred meters away. .
This is the most comfortable combat distance for rushers.
Pop! Snapped! Snap...
Those guys holding gas lamps were the first to be shot. In just a blink of an eye, seven or eight light sources fell to the ground.
“Damn it!”
There was a loud shout in the darkness.
But before Su Lun could change the magazine again, a majestic black shadow rushed towards him.
Exactly as expected.
“Here it comes!”
Su Lun’s pupils shrank suddenly, but he showed no intention of flinching. He raised his hand and fired a few more shots, hitting the black shadow with all the remaining bullets in the wheel.
However, these shots did not hinder the guy's speed at all.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
The bullet created sparks on Sith's body, as if it had hit a steel plate and ricocheted away.
Even the shot that accurately hit the goggles failed to cause any damage to this guy.
Su Lun fired all the bullets and quickly changed the bullet plate in his hand.
His eyes were not on the gun, but looked coldly at the steel gorilla from before, thinking in his mind: "Sure enough, based on this strength, the armor-piercing bullet may not be able to penetrate his rune goggles. ”
If you use the alchemy bullet rashly and fail to grab it, the enemy will be alert, and it will be difficult to succeed next time.
And these shots, in addition to testing, are also intended to lower the enemy's vigilance. It made him feel that Su Lun's shooting was not threatening at all!
Just when the steel gorilla was still a few meters away from hitting Su Lun, a thin but faster figure also bumped into him.
“Bang!”
After the muffled sound, there is a fight.
Kai's [Blade] device drew sparks from the steel gorilla's body, making a harsh sound of metal cutting.
The two fought fiercely.
Sulun also clearly heard a sneer from Sith, as if he was mocking Kai for overestimating his abilities.
Kai takes the flexible ranger career route. If he chooses to roam, the Sith may not be able to do anything to him in a short period of time.
But if you choose to fight hand-to-hand, that’s exactly what he wants!
The Iron Gorilla is not flexible enough, but its hand-to-hand strength has an absolute advantage over Kai.
Just like this head-on confrontation, Kai was already at a disadvantage as soon as he met him.
But once Kai retreats, the Sith will definitely choose to change their target and kill Suellen as the gunner first!
Hence, when Su Lun and Kai chose this tactic, it meant that there was no way out.
To survive, two people must fully trust each other.
And because he had to entangle this guy, Kai had difficulty moving because of his injury. He was accidentally grabbed by the Sith by the ankle and was thrown around like a sandbag.
Life and death are in a matter of moments.
At this moment, Su Lun was still standing ten meters away, not even taking a step back.
He calmly loaded the ammunition and raised the gun again.
This distance is enough for him, a "firearms expert", to make sure that even if the opponent moves violently, he will be able to fire without missing a beat.
This time, Su Lun did not test again, but aimed at the buckle on the steel gorilla mask!
Even though this mask is part of an external mechanical skeleton, it is indestructible. But the mechanical weaknesses are also obvious. Welding spots, joints, and connections are all more fragile than other parts.
The high-level enchanted goggles can block bullets, but the buckles that fix the mask may not be able to block them.
If one shot doesn't work, then use a few more shots.
“Ding! Ding! Dang! Dang!”
Su Lun fired several shots in a row, each shot hitting the buckle of the mask accurately, causing cracks in the solder joints.
Kai, who was in close combat with the steel gorilla, also saw the opportunity and kicked him up.
With a "clang" sound, the mask fell off.
Revealing the eyes of the steel gorilla full of astonishment.
Sith looked stunned as he saw his mask being knocked off, and then the horror of death struck him instantly.
His eyes moved over, just in time to see the black muzzle of a gun aimed at his eye socket. At the same time, he seemed to recognize the origin of the gun: "Iron Head" Ivan's famous gun [Three-Headed Ghost] ]?
At the same time, he also knew that he was careless.
The ordinary bullets before made him lose the necessary vigilance, thinking that this was just a gunman with no threat. But he didn't expect that the other party also had alchemical bullets hidden in his possession.
However, facing the dark muzzle of the gun, a sneer overflowed from the corner of Sith's mouth: "Huh, naive!"
He is also extremely alert.
In fact, he noticed something was wrong as early as when he discovered that Kai chose to fight head-on.
Now seeing his goggles being knocked off, he clearly realized the purpose of Su Lun and the others.
Haha, isn’t it just to break the goggles to hit your eyes?
It's a good idea, but it's a pity... If professionals can be shot so easily, then it's too inferior.
Even if it is an alchemical bullet, if you want to kill yourself, you have to hit a few "weak points" in your body.
Sith's crisis response ability allowed him to instinctively turn his head in the first life after the mask was knocked off. This angle was a blind spot for shooting. He felt that bullets posed no threat to him at all.
But the next second, a scene that made him desperate happened.
The moment Sith turned his head, he saw from the corner of his eye that Su Lun on the opposite side suddenly made a strange shooting movement, and when tongues of fire spurted out of the muzzle of the gun...
He is actually "throwing a gun"?
Seeing this, the sarcastic smile on Sith's lips turned into panic before it dissipated.
I wanted to react but it was too late.
At the last moment of his life, the veteran Steam Party captain thought of a "secret level" firearms technique with despair: "Gun Fighting Technique!"
It turns out...
There is such a terrifying guy hiding among the enemies.
Like a highly venomous viper hiding in a pile of dead leaves, it will deliver a fatal blow when the hunter is unaware.
.....
Su Lun had an almost numb calmness in his eyes. He changed his gun, predicted the angle of the enemy's head, calculated the ballistic trajectory, and pulled the trigger while swinging the gun.
There are no details of mistakes, and the enemy will not be given any chance to make a comeback.
The alchemical armor-piercing bullet was fired from the musket with three silver skulls. It shot an arc in the air and accurately hit the left eye socket of the steel gorilla in an instant.
There was a "bang" sound, and blood exploded in front of my eyes.
The alchemical bullet penetrated the Sith's head, and the steel gorilla that was so menacing a second ago fell to the ground.
This shot kills with one hit.
…........
Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, and helped Kai, who was beaten to pieces.
At the same time, he also swallowed up the gray mist on the corpse.
"Obtain memory fragments of "Sith Arnold"*3"
"You have gained a small amount of 'intermediate mechanical knowledge'..."
“You have mastered the ‘junior robotic arm kinetic energy device modification skills’...”
「Fighting experience +8」
"Spirit +0.12"
Su Lun felt that suddenly there were many mechanical skills in his mind, but he didn't have time to think about it.
Because at this time, the battle is far from over.
Su Lun helped Kai up and asked: "Captain, are you okay?"
“No...”
Kayi wanted to say it was okay, but before he finished speaking, he couldn't hold back the smell in his throat and spit out a mouthful of turbid blood. He shook his head, which was a little dizzy after being hit, and said with a wry smile: "I won't die yet."
In a blink of an eye, Kai looked at the Sith corpse on the ground with a bullet in his eye socket, and then glanced at Suellen, his expression becoming extremely complicated.
Su Lun's amazing performances refreshed his understanding of this "new man".
It turns out that he is not only a "gun expert", but also proficient in the secret-level marksmanship [gun fighting].
This is a super-difficult gun skill that can only be mastered by truly talented professional gunners...
“With such spear skills, no wonder he is so confident.”
Kayi sighed with emotion, and was glad that he chose to believe it.
.....
From the time the explosion sounded to when Narciss rushed over to fight, and then was killed by Su Lun and Kai in cooperation, the whole process only took more than 20 seconds.
The "red-haired" Kuntu in the distance originally thought that the Sith personally took action, and even if he couldn't kill the two people, he could at least hold them back.
Then he and his gang rushed over and were able to kill the opponent easily.
Unexpectedly, the plan changed, and the explosion attracted the distorted monster hiding in the dark!
Those aberrant monsters that were extremely agile and could climb walls appeared everywhere. They used their long mouthparts to bite the gang members one after another.
The members of the Steam Party were dragged to the spot.
Screams were heard endlessly, and gunshots became a mess.
I didn’t expect that in this short delay, the situation would change so quickly.
Just after these few encounters, he actually watched his partner being shot in the head?
Kuntu was shocked, and then he understood why the two people would install one here even though they knew the bomb was useless.
It turns out that the purpose is not to hurt people, but to attract the monster's attention!
Watching the Sith being killed, Kuntu instantly thought of retreating, but it seemed that it was already too late.
Densely packed wall-climbing aberration monsters have surrounded them...
......
It was originally a duel between two sides, but due to the addition of aberrant monsters, it immediately turned into a three-party melee.
Su Lun: "Captain, can you still fight?"
Kayi took out another potion and hit his leg, saying: "I can still hold on for a while."
Speaking, he looked at the Steam Party members who were fighting fiercely with monsters in the distance, with ridicule on his face: "Who can survive now depends on his true ability."
The Steam Party gang is too busy taking care of themselves right now, and there is no guarantee that those guys can escape from the monster pile without them taking action.
In comparison, although the situation of Su Lun and Kai is not very good, it is not worse than before.
Some monsters were also attracted by the sound of gunfire and climbed onto their heads.
However, the cooperation between the two is pretty good. One is a marksman with perfect shots, and the other is a swordsman in close combat.
Although these aberrant wall-climbing monsters are incredibly fast, the two of them were able to hold on while fighting while retreating.
Suddenly!
Su Lun kept killing, and unexpectedly found a cloud of "gray mist" in the pile of monster corpses.
“Hey...the elite monster actually produced soul fragments?”
Even if monsters have low intelligence, there will be almost no "grey fog" on their corpses.
At this time, he had just shot a strong aberration in the head, but saw fragments on the body.
Because the corpse fell just a short distance from his feet, Su Lun shot and swallowed it at the same time.
But... after digesting the information of this gray fog, his expression suddenly became a little weird again.
"Obtain the memory fragments of the 'mutated aberration'*2"
"You have obtained the "local pipe network layout information of sewers"..."
"You got some incomplete footage..."
"You have mastered the 'Intermediate Climbing' skill..."
「Psychic Power +0.01」
.....
This deformed humanoid monster can climb walls. It is not surprising that Su Lun has learned an [Intermediate Climbing] skill.
The "local sewer network map" is also expected...
But the "incomplete picture" behind this made Su Lun feel that something was wrong.
The monster's perception system is not as clear as what humans can see. In the monster's memory, Su Lun saw a warm yellow picture fragment that looked like it was taken by thermal imaging.
But even though it was not clear, he could still tell that it was a sickle-shaped object!
