Chapter 36 Meeting Gift

Thirty minutes after the script began, somewhere in the south of Nuka City.

"Hmm...as expected, they didn't choose to split up," Feng Bujue muttered, standing on the edge of a rooftop in a building, gazing at the distant street. "Instead, they're maintaining a certain distance from each other and exploring in the same direction."

At that moment, another figure stood beside him...a shadow as small as an elementary school student.

"Hiss hiss hiss...you're not thinking of a frontal assault, are you?" Musashi Koganai looked up at Feng Bujue.

"Heh...it's not like it's impossible," Feng Bujue chuckled. "Judging from the data strength, the success rate of a frontal assault isn't low."

For someone like Jue-ge, who can see through the "Sequence of Truth," the influence of the dense fog is negligible. The thicker the fog, the more advantageous it is for him. For example, right now, Feng Bujue can clearly observe the positions and "combat power" of the four people in the distance, while the members of the Golden War Hammer team can't even see objects more than ten meters away, let alone discover Jue-ge's whereabouts.

"Huhu..." Musashi Koganai chuckled. "But you wouldn't do that...would you?"

"Of course not," Feng Bujue replied. "Otherwise...wouldn't your hard work be wasted?" As he said this, he turned around and looked at a humanoid device five meters away.

That...was a combat robot with a bizarre appearance. About 1.8 meters tall, with a body that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, a shell painted like an abstract painting, and a triangular head that was eighty percent similar to Musashi Koganai himself...it was clearly the work of that perverted elementary school student.

"Hiss hiss hiss...it was just some simple 'modification,' it wasn't very difficult for me," Musashi Koganai added.

It turned out that in the previous half hour, Feng Bujue had used his knowledge of the map to quickly rush to the Allerbmu Corporation building, sneak into the underground research institute, and then summon Musashi Koganai to successfully create this humanoid combat machine, which Koganai had named "Infection Fighter Number One."

Some might wonder, how could such a thing be created out of thin air in such a short time? Here's the explanation... In fact, the last time Feng Bujue came to this script, he noticed that there were some security robots in the basement of Allerbmu Corporation that had not been activated in time. These robots were undoubtedly created by the company to prevent possible situations after the virus leaked. If nothing unexpected happened... they should be a hidden setting to help players clear the game. It's just that...due to X-23's interference, the development of the script exceeded the normal direction, so Jue-ge couldn't make good use of these resources.

But this time...he had the full ability to use those resources. Ready-made security robots, ready-made production lines, a ready-made perverted inventor...it wasn't difficult to create such a creation in a short period of time.

"Too bad...you probably won't be able to see this 'Infection Fighter' in actual combat," Feng Bujue replied, turning his head back.

"Is it almost time..." Musashi Koganai knew as soon as he heard that his summoning time limit was about to expire. "Then there's no way...hiss hiss hiss..." Before he finished speaking, he turned into white light and disappeared.

With the buff from [The Alchemist King's Taunt], Musashi Koganai could survive for a certain amount of extra time, and his various abilities would be strengthened, but his existence time limit could not exceed half an hour after all.

"Hoo... then... let me see..." Then, Feng Bujue walked to the back of the Infection Fighter, used the wjQ-308 military shovel to open a metal plate on the back of the robot, and pulled out a small operation panel.

After he quickly entered a string of instructions, the robot's two round eyes lit up slightly...

…………

On the other hand, on the Golden War Hammer team's side...

"Alkaline, it's been half an hour, and we haven't seen an enemy player, not even a small monster," Huang Da Hammer seemed to be losing patience. "I think we should speed up a bit, don't dawdle so much."

"This guy..." Alkaline Man turned his head and looked at their team leader, thinking, "Speaking so loudly...what's the point of us keeping our distance..."

At this time, the four of them were arranged in a diamond formation, maintaining a certain distance from each other. Using this formation to advance was undoubtedly arranged by Alkaline Man... When facing a sudden area-of-effect attack, this formation could reduce the team's damage and avoid being taken away by a big move. In addition...in the thick fog, standing like this would also bring some obstacles to the enemy team's reconnaissance personnel.

However... Huang Da Hammer was nonchalantly communicating with his teammates loudly, without considering the intention of standing apart at all.

"Okay..." After a few seconds, Alkaline Man replied in a rather helpless tone, "I'll listen to you, Captain..."

In fact, by this time... Alkaline Man himself was also a little impatient. Since they hadn't encountered any danger along the way, he had a feeling of "Am I overcorrecting?"

After all, their team had three powerful professional players, and Huang Da Hammer, this rmB warrior, was indeed objectively stronger than ordinary casual players. In addition... Alkaline Man also deduced that the probability of being matched to a "studio team" at this time was extremely low. Combining the "anonymous" situation of the enemy team, he unconsciously felt that his side had a certain advantage.

Boom—

But...just as they were talking, a burst of jet engine roar suddenly came from the fog.

Bang bang bang—

In an instant, a bizarre robot descended from the sky, landed in three steps, and stood in the center of the street.

At this moment, the Strange Fighter, located at the forefront of the four, immediately assumed a fighting stance and vigilantly stared at the target in front.

"Robot?" Seeing this scene, Alkaline Man muttered in confusion, "Isn't this script a zombie theme...how could it pop out..."

Bang!

Before he could finish his thoughts, a gunshot rang out.

"Damn..." Alkaline Man turned his head in response to the sound, cursing in his heart, "This guy is acting on his own again..."

Obviously, the person who fired the gun was Huang Da Hammer. Without determining whether the newcomer was a friend or foe, he picked up the rifle in his hand and fired a shot without saying a word.

Normally speaking, this kind of behavior was naturally very inappropriate, because doing so was likely to turn an NPC unit that was expected to become an assistant into an enemy. But this time... Huang Da Hammer's recklessness was meritorious.

This unthinking shot directly broke one of the Infection Fighter's arms, instantly reducing the robot's combat power.

Squeak—

Without verbal communication, and without stopping, half a second after the bullet hit, the Infection Fighter raised the arm that hadn't been broken yet, and launched a round of strafing attacks on the Strange Fighter in front of him through five "finger machine guns."

"Tch..." The Strange Fighter spat unhappily, rolled to the side, and quickly rushed to a cover.

At the same time, the Profound Spirit King, dozens of meters away, had already released a skill to support his teammates at the first moment.

[Name: Spirit Spear Vulture Strike]

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Skill Type: Spiritual Art]

[Effect: Launch a spear-shaped mid-range psionic shock with fingers, causing penetrating damage (one minute cooldown)]

[Consumption: Stamina 200, Spirit Power 2]

[Learning Requirements: Melee Specialization B, Spiritual Art Specialization B]

[Remarks: Can cause equal damage to all spiritual bodies and non-spiritual bodies (excluding Boss level).]

Chit—

Along with the sound of spirit particles breaking through the air, a spirit spear easily penetrated the Infection Fighter's abdomen, and sparks splashed from the breach.

However...its "core" was not in the abdomen, so...

Tut tut tut...the machine gun strafing continued. Not only that, the Infection Fighter's attack also upgraded smoothly... Its knees and left shoulder rapidly deformed, revealing three honeycomb-like launch ports. After about three seconds of brewing... Many small missiles, as thin as lipsticks, flew out of these launch ports, flying towards the four players of the Golden War Hammer team in a tracking manner.

"Hammer, use explosive rounds! Fighter, flank! Profound Spirit, cover me!"

Now that things had come to this, regardless of whether this robot was originally an enemy, or whether it became an enemy after being attacked... Anyway, there was no way out but to fight. So, Alkaline Man issued three instructions loudly, and took out his weapon - two short sickles, charging towards the Infection Fighter through a roundabout route.

In the next ten seconds...

The Strange Fighter successfully flanked, attracting the Infection Fighter's attention; Huang Da Hammer's explosive rounds accurately hit the target; And the immobilizing skill released by the Profound Spirit King also took effect before the smoke and dust from the explosion bloomed.

Finally, as the smoke and dust gradually cleared, Alkaline Man's figure arrived just in time...

The double sickles crossed, and the cold light burst out.

In the blink of an eye, the Infection Fighter's torso was cut open by the misshapen sickle marks, and fell apart in several sections.

Everything seemed to be within Alkaline Man's plan... The four members of the Golden War Hammer team not only completed their respective attacks, but also successfully avoided those miniature missiles that were not very fast.

It seemed that they had taken care of this monster quite easily, but... Alkaline Man always felt that something was wrong.

"What's going on?" After a few seconds, the Strange Fighter was the first to shout, "Why am I in the [Disease] state?"

His words shocked Alkaline Man, who immediately opened the game menu, and found that... the word [Disease] was also displayed in his status bar.

"Eh? I've been hit too." The Profound Spirit King in the distance immediately followed.

"What's going on? Alkaline." Huang Da Hammer's question showed that he was in the same situation as well.

Alkaline Man didn't answer the question, but he was answered by another person.

"Everyone..." Feng Bujue's voice rang out from the fog, "Treat the one just now... as my greeting gift to you."
