I Have a Job

Chapter 255 Emperor Project - Unit-01

The snow demons were rioting, and the giant black worms were frantically drilling into the ground. Their bodies, which were still swimming and exposed outside like black hills, attracted everyone's attention, causing a rain of flesh and blood.

But these heavy firepower seemed to be unable to hurt the monster at all, and even the black skin could not be penetrated. The huge explosion seemed to ignite a small spark on its body, and everyone watched as the monster burrowed into the ground with the force of an earth-shaking earthquake.

Snow dust rolled, and a large amount of snow on the edge of the canyon began to collapse and slide.

As soon as KIKI made a move, he instantly attracted everyone's attention. At this time, overwhelming firepower swept in, crushing the snow monsters that emerged from the snow. Because the snow layer in front had been washed away, these snow monsters had no place to hide. Once they rushed out, they were completely exposed on the surface and torn into pieces by the metal jets fired from various heavy firepower.

Because the terrain narrows at the edge of the cliff, this defensive line is easy to defend and difficult to attack. These monster waves are gathered and crowded, and they are completely unable to rush forward in the face of the powerful kinetic thermal weapons.

A monster with huge wings in the sky tried to fly into the formation in the blizzard. The anti-aircraft heavy artillery on the Stiyuan Longshan No. 1 main weapon station began to show its power. There were continuous thermal explosions in the air, and the whole ice valley was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Boom!

The ground shook, and the huge black worms underground began to make trouble. Shi Diyuan looked at the snow dust on the surface and began to shake. He spat and turned to shout at a camp behind him.

"Team Leader Yu, this thing is coming closer, let the machine burn for a while!"

Buzz!

Woo~

Not long after, a deafening roar suddenly sounded from the huge mecha body. In the blizzard, the roar of a nuclear-powered turbine engine suddenly sounded, with a gradually harsh audio frequency, which made people numb all over! .

Empty, empty, empty!!

With the appearance of this sound, the violent tide of snow monsters suddenly became chaotic, and the vibrations underground began to become more agitated, making the entire snowfield float like waves. After a while, the earthquake became farther and farther away. Along with this buzzing sound, large groups of snow monsters and four-legged monsters began to drill into the blizzard and gradually disappeared from the line of fire.

"Cease fire!"

"Save ammo!"

"Make way and let them in!!"

The firepower from all sides began to subside as the snow monster tide receded.

In front of the defense line, a tracked truck with heavy armor started up, drove a distance, and opened a small opening in front of the line.

Lin Xian drove in immediately. As soon as he got in, he found that there were quite a few cars parked inside the front line, some of which were labeled with the Phoenix Society logo. A temporary camp was set up here.

Woo~

The roar of the nuclear-powered turbine engine gradually died down at this time, as if it was vibrating in the air with a bit of wailing.

Lin Xian and KIKI immediately looked up and saw the huge humanoid mecha supporting itself on the ground with one hand. Looking down at the ground, the part exposed above the ground alone was more than 30 meters high, almost the height of more than ten stories.

The mecha was half-kneeling in the ice valley, with one fist propped up on the cliff. Blizzards were swirling in the jagged cracks of its shoulder armor. The brand new dark blue paint was already covered with traces of battle damage. On the chest was a huge nuclear-powered turbine engine, with a ball of orange-yellow halo curled up around it.

A huge laceration appeared on the left arm, revealing a large number of hexagonal hydraulic pipes like a torn honeycomb. Light golden condensate dripped from the pipe openings in the form of several-meter-long icicles. The left shoulder armor plate rolled outward, revealing the carbonized drive shaft inside and an alloy skeleton that was strong enough to withstand 10,000 tons of pressure.

"I...fuck"

"The Order of Phoenix actually created this kind of terrifying weapon..."

Lin Xian looked at the iron giant in front of him and couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Even his mechanical heart felt like it was about to move spontaneously.

Wow~!

The battle against the monster tide had just come to a halt, and the defense line quickly regrouped. At the same time, a large group of people came towards Lin Xian's polar vehicle from all directions. Shi Diyuan walked quickly in front. When he saw Ning Jing and Lin Xian getting out of the car, he said directly: "When I received the signal band, I thought it was the reinforcements from the Phoenix Society. How could it be you?!"

"Of course I came to see you."

Ning Jing looked at the people behind Shi Diyuan and frowned, "Really? I thought you were all dead. Why are so many of you hiding here?"

"Hey, Sister Ning." The fat cat behind Shi Diyuan said in surprise: "Why are there only a few of you? Aren't you from Xilan City? Where are the reinforcements from the Phoenix Society?"

"Yeah, are you the only ones there?"

"Abai, Xiaoqing, where are the others? Where is our main force?"

"The main force is still in place."

Ning Jing sighed, looked at Shi Diyuan and said, "Due to the sudden intensification of the blizzard on Longshan No. 1 and the attack of the strange tide, the No. 3 electric traction locomotive broke down, and all of us were trapped in the snow for two days."

"I didn't expect the Infinity to take the northern route as well. We just happened to meet Captain Lin, who helped us fix the car. We wanted to come here to search for you before leaving for Xilan City, but we didn't expect you all to be trapped here."

"Stuck there?!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Diyuan slapped his thigh fiercely: "Oh my god, such a big thing has happened. We are in trouble now. We can't rush out now without the reinforcement of the Phoenix Order."

Lin Xian stood on the track wheel and looked around, and found that in addition to Shi Diyuan's team, there were at least four or five other survivor team members here, adding up to more than two hundred people. It seemed that they were all trapped in this place.

"Brother Shi, what's going on?" Lin Xian asked.

Shi Diyuan pinched his brows in a headache, looked at Lin Xian helplessly and said: "Brother Lin, I'm really sorry to trouble you again. Now that you are here, we have to be brothers in need again. We haven't rushed out of this place for two days, and we have lost a lot of people. If we can't wait for the reinforcement of the Phoenix Society, we may all have to explain here."

"It's like this, Sister Ning, Captain Lin." The fat man behind Shi Diyuan was wearing a thick leather coat, which made him look very bloated. He was wearing cold-proof goggles and his face was red from the cold. He explained to the others,

"When we received the call for help that day and rushed over, this place was like fucking hell. This Phoenix organization seemed to be secretly conducting experiments on this giant mecha here, but it's not clear what happened. Most of their people are dead. An armed company of more than a hundred people and a general aviation transport group have been basically wiped out. When we got here, Brother Qian and his men had been holding on to this front for a night. Who knew this place was a dead end and we couldn't get out once we got here."

"Oh, by the way, Brother Lin, Ning Jing, let me introduce you to a few brothers who are willing to live and die together. Although we have only known each other for two days, we are all ready to die here together, haha."

Shi Diyuan didn't seem to have any negative feelings about being trapped in a dead end. When he mentioned this, he pointed at a man in the crowd who was dressed in thick mink and seemed too delicate and said, "Qian Dele, the captain of the Joker team, is an absolute master, awesome and powerful. It's all thanks to his people that our team can hold on until now."

"There is a flying ability person in his team. He rushed to Xilan City to get reinforcements after daybreak. So we all thought you were bringing people from Xilan City."

"Brother Qian." Shi Diyuan introduced the man named Qian Dele,

"Ning Jing, A Bai, Xiao Qing, these three are from my team. These two are the ones I told you about, the ones who proposed the towing plan at Yubei Airport. Brother Lin Xianlin, this is his sister, I think her name is KIKI, right..."

Girl?

KIKI was about to speak when she heard this, but she saw the man named Qian Dele looking at Lin Xian with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. He said,

"Oh my God, you are the young hero that Old Shi mentioned, who saved tens of thousands of people. But now it seems... just so-so."

Lin Xian and KIKI felt a chill as they heard this, not because of what he said, but because this man spoke with a strong effeminate tone. He liked to put one hand on his chest when he spoke, and with his exaggerated mink cloak, he looked like a noble lady. Moreover, among the dozens of people present at this time, only Qian Dele looked the least like someone who had been fleeing for months in the apocalypse.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm the type who speaks directly. I don't like beating around the bush." ​​Qian Dele said loudly, "But you're quite courageous for rushing over here alone, but you're a little reckless. Now you're just like us, you can only wait for rescue obediently."

KIKI shuddered upon hearing this, frowned and responded: "Why can't we get out? Let's get out the same way we got in."

"It's easy to say, but do you think we haven't tried it?" The leader of another convoy was a middle-aged man wearing a set of heavy industrial power armor. He said, "Did you see that big black bug just now? It's guarding us outside. As long as we leave this area, I'm afraid there will be thousands of monsters rushing over. It's still daytime. These guys are not like this at night."

"This snow demon and the four-legged snow monster move very fast at night. They can bite through any thick armor..." said another person in the convoy.

"The most important thing is that big black bug." Shi Diyuan looked at Lin Xian and Ning Jing, and said solemnly: "Even if we can escape, Longshan No. 1 and Infinity will not be able to stop this guy. We can only run."

Lin Xian frowned when he heard this: "Then why don't we get attacked if we stay here?"

"According to Team Leader Yu, this guy is protecting us." Shi Diyuan raised his thumb and pointed at the Unit-01 above his head, then pointed at the right arm of the Unit-01 that was supporting the ground. He saw that a huge folding high-frequency blade chain sword was hidden on the thick fist armor of the right arm, and the top was covered with green plasma that had frozen into frost.

"Did you see it when you came here? A big guy was killed by this chain sword!"

Ning Jing was horrified when she heard this: "Are you talking about the dead black worm?"

"It seems you have met."

"So what you mean is that the reason why it won't get close to this line of defense is because... it's afraid of this mecha?" Lin Xian asked with a frown.

"What else?"

The man named Qian Dele said in a high-pitched voice, crossing his arms across his chest, "Handsome boy, do you think that so many of us are here just to enjoy the snow scene?"

He pointed to the vast snowfield in the distance and said, "That big black bug has been guarding outside. Our car was hit several times and many people were killed. If we could get out, we would have gone out long ago~"

Ning Jing smiled speechlessly upon hearing this and looked at Lin Xian: "So, our attempt to save someone has turned into asking for help."

Everyone was silent and looked at them helplessly.

"This is a problem. Our plan only lasts three hours, and there are two trains waiting to depart." Ning Jing looked at Lin Xian and said in a deep voice.

Fat Cat smiled bitterly: "So when we received the signal, we thought you were coming with a large force from the Xilan Phoenix Society."

"Eh~" KIKI said at this time: "Then why don't we just make a feint to the east and attack in the west? First use a car to lure the worm away, and then the others can run away, right?"

"You think we haven't tried..." Shi Diyuan said with a headache, "The snow is full of snow monsters, plus those four-legged monsters. A car can only survive for 5 minutes at most. The most important thing is that those monsters are very smart. They can catch our scent. They can distinguish between one person running and a group of people running. This method is useless. A car will not lure the big monster away."

smell?

Lin Xian understood immediately after hearing this. It was the dark mark, but this kind of snow monster could capture the mark on its prey during the day. Now it seemed that Lin Xian and KIKI must have been marked with high-level marks.

No one knew what level that giant black creature was at, but I was afraid that everyone present had this mark.

"No way?" KIKI retorted: "The two cars we drove just now were attacked by it, and it scared me a lot."

"Is this true?" Qian Dele raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a puzzled look: "How did your two cars escape the clutches of that thing?"

KIKI said: "Just escape like this..."

Ning Jing explained, "It was a close call. Fortunately, Team Lin and his team came to our rescue. However, if we had run back, we would have been hunted by that thing and we might have brought trouble back to the train, which would have been a disaster."

"That's right."

Lin Xian nodded. Now it was no longer a question of how to escape. If he couldn't completely get rid of or even kill the black underground worm, Infinity would even face the situation of being overturned. In this case, it would be even more impossible for him to bring the trouble back with him.

"It seems we have to think of other ways."

"The only way now is to wait for the support of the Phoenix Society in Xilan City." Shi Diyuan turned his head to look at the huge humanoid mecha behind him: "Or pray that this thing can have a last gasp and lead us out."

"What do you mean? This mecha is completely unable to move?" Ning Jing asked.

"It's over already~" Fat Cat said, "Just now I asked Team Leader Yu to light the fire and pretend to scare the big bug away. In fact, this mecha can't stand up anymore."

"Hey!"

Shi Diyuan suddenly reacted, and looked at Lin Xian with bright eyes. He immediately slapped his forehead and said, "Oh my goodness, how could I forget about this? Brother Lin, you are a mechanical superpower. Oh, maybe there is really a chance."

As he said this, he immediately came over and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder: "Come on, I'll take you to meet Team Leader Yu. She is the team leader of the Emperor Project. She must be very interested in you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian poured cold water on him: "Brother Shi, do you think that I can fix this big guy? Don't you think too highly of me?"

"Uh, don't you have mechanical powers?" Stewart looked at him in surprise.

"He has mechanical abilities, not the god of machinery. This mecha weighs at least several thousand tons, so it's not easy to repair it." At this time, KIKI stood up and explained Lin Xian's abilities to him, contrary to his usual behavior.

KIKI is right. This mecha is too large. It's not just a problem of repair and scanning, there is another key point.

Material.

This type of mecha uses composite armor, and may also require a large amount of super-carbon yne alloy, nano-ceramic armor, etc. These are high-grade materials, and Lin Xian doesn't have so many of them for repair and manufacturing.

Even at a cursory glance now, the core and main structure of the mecha seem to be intact. There should be quite a few subsystems that are damaged, but the left arm is particularly severely torn, and it will be a huge project to repair it.

Upon hearing this, Shi Diyuan looked at Lin Xian blankly, and Lin Xian nodded and responded: "Yes, but...it's okay to learn about it first."

"Well, that's okay. No one is doing anything right now anyway. Besides, I've already mentioned you to Team Leader Yu. Maybe everyone can come up with some other solutions."

After that, Shi Diyuan said to Qian Dele: "Brother Qian, I will take Brother Lin to meet Team Leader Yu, how about you go too?"

"I won't go~" Qian Dele glanced at Lin Xian and said, "I don't like that woman, she's so cold. I'll just stay outside and watch. Maybe those snow monsters will come again soon."

"Haha, think on the bright side. At least we have a few more awesome psychics. Everyone has seen how powerful this telekinetic girl is. Maybe we will find a way to break out soon," Shi Diyuan encouraged everyone. As soon as he said this, everyone nodded slightly in agreement.

The attack of KIKI and others just now was indeed shocking. There are more than a dozen people with special abilities here, and their strength is also quite impressive. Large-scale lethal weapons like those of KIKI and Abai really give everyone more confidence.

Therefore, people from each convoy began to return to their cars to keep warm. The defense line had two nuclear power units to supply energy, so there was no problem with heating.

One is the nuclear-powered locomotive and traction locomotive that Steve Yuan drove, which has been equipped with a Triangle Track strong magnetized all-terrain drive module. Lin Xian just took a special look and found that this drive module is very advanced and precisely manufactured. The only problem is that the modifications are huge. It can be said that everything has been changed except the car shell.

Lin Xian must have thought that this must have cost Shi Diyuan a lot of money. He thought about it and realized that if it was purely manufactured, it would be an epic project for Lin Xian. He could already imagine how troublesome it would be. He had never manufactured such a large mechanical structure, not to mention that the Infinity had 14 carriages. It was not something that could be completed in a day or two.

So I plan to ask him how to make the costumes later, and if there is a chance, I will see if I can scan out the drawings.

In addition, the Joker team also has a small nuclear power plant to power the team's electric vehicles. In addition, many teams have auxiliary solar energy storage devices, but at this time, nuclear power is still the only thing that can give people peace of mind. Heating equipment can also be provided to all teams on the edge of the Tracamar Ice Valley under the blizzard.

Shi Diyuan took Lin Xian and KIKI towards the large tent camps under the mecha, while Ning Jing took Abai and Xiaoqing back to their Longshan No. 1 car.

"By the way, there is something I'm curious about."

Lin Xian said as he walked: "Isn't this Emperor Project also an organization of the Phoenix Society? Why does it need to seek help from Xilan City?"

Lin Xian had been thinking about this question just now. Why did it sound like Xilan City was completely unaware of the actions organized by the Phoenix Society?

Shi Diyuan waved his hand: "I asked a long time ago. The actions of the Emperor Plan are top secret."

"You keep it a secret even from your own people?"

"No." Shi Diyuan looked at Lin Xian and said meaningfully, "I guess they encountered some situation. The current situation must be beyond their plan, which caused them to lose contact with the Phoenix Organization at other support points. That's why they used the full-band distress signal. The seven convoys here are all here to support them."

"With so many casualties, it seems that they encountered an S-level monster, such as the black bug." KIKI said at this time.

"That black bug is not an S-level monster." Shi Diyuan said proudly, "At least according to the evaluation of the Phoenix Society, this thing is not even S-level."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "So the S-level weird body in Parma Grassland mentioned on the radio is not this thing."

"That's right…"

In the snow and wind in the camp, outside the large windproof tent, a team of interstellar soldiers in military power armor were busy moving munitions to the front. Lin Xian and KIKI took a quick look and found that the uniforms on these people were quite special. Looking around, there were less than 20 people left. These people were all holding heavy weapons, equipped with active exoskeleton power systems and high-end cold-resistant equipment. It seemed that they had experienced several consecutive nights of battle. These soldiers were covered with traces of fatigue and battle damage...

The closer they got to the huge mecha, the more Lin Xian and KIKI felt that the wind and snow around them weakened a lot. They could also feel the residual heat from the nuclear-powered turbine engine in their chests that had just started. Standing in front of this giant, they were like ants. As soon as they raised their heads, they could feel a sense of oppression like a mountain.

Seeing Lin Xian and KIKI looking at the huge mecha in front of them with shock, Shi Diyuan also stopped and said with emotion

"Scary, isn't it? Hey, man, I was also shocked when I saw it for the first time. We humans can also make this kind of thing. If we can make more, we can compete with those monsters in the dark, and it can also boost the confidence of the few survivors left in the world."

KIKI said bluntly: "But the current situation, doesn't it mean that this plan has failed?"

The news that the super weapon created with the combined power of the Phoenix Order failed in the first test only seemed to make people more desperate.

Lin Xian heard this and said, "I think the purpose of the Phoenix Society to build this kind of weapon must be to use it to fight against S-level weird entities, or to enter Xingyuan for reconnaissance. If this is the only result, does it mean that it has not met expectations?"

"I don't know what this thing has been through..." Shi Diyuan said with a deep breath: "But to be able to kill such a big black bug head-on, it must be very powerful."

Lin Xian nodded: "Judging from the scars on this mecha, it must have fought with some other monsters..."

"What is the name of this mecha?" asked KIKI.

"Their people said it was called..."

Shi Diyuan looked up at the steel giant and said with a stern expression.

"Emperor Project - Unit-01."
