MTL - You Agreed To Fight Mechas, But Your Body Exploded Into Stars?

Chapter 38 Strange Corrupted Life

 Darkness falls and the temperature drops.

 The monsters in the abyss have obviously become much more active.

For example, the Abyss fishmen are not only less afraid of flames, but their movements are also much more flexible, and their agility has been increased from three points to four points.

 Fortunately, they still dare not come into contact with the flames and do not get too close to the shelter.

 Otherwise, the steam mechas in the shelter will face another wave of fierce battles.

This kind of environment is obviously not suitable for finding survivors.

Jiang Chen gave up the action and hurried back all the way.

 When he arrived at the shelter, the steam mechas at the entrance quickly surrounded him.

 “Lord Apocalypse!”

The tone of these drivers was quite respectful.

Whether the person who calls himself "Apocalypse" is an outsider as he describes himself, or a special extraordinary person...

 His actions on this day were never false.

The pilots present were all rescued by him personally.

 Being grateful, you will naturally not question anything.

 “Thank you for guarding the shelter.”

Jiang Chen looked at the large and small mechas in front of him and said.

“You can now enter the shelter to rest like everyone else.”

 “Leave it to me to defend against monsters.”

 The drivers fell silent.

 A ten-meter-tall steam mecha stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and lay down.

"Lord Tianqi, we have been on duty during the day and have all had a rest. We are not sleepy now."

“The fuel stored in the air raid shelters and school warehouses is enough to keep the mecha’s power furnace running for a long time…”

 “Please let us stay outside to help you fend off the monsters.”

Jiang Chen brought back a total of thirty-seven steam mechas.

Among them, although there were only six ten-meter-tall medium-sized steam mechas, under the operation of experienced pilots, they easily defeated many abyss monsters and protected the safety of the shelter during the day.

 Does this make them inflated?

 On the contrary, these pilots are deeply aware of the strength of the monsters in the abyss.

Even the steam army in the past would have struggled in the face of endless abyss monsters, not to mention that they only had a few dozen steam mechas left.

No matter how you look at it, it’s like a mantis trying to use his arms as a chariot, and he will definitely die.

 But because of this, they cannot hide in shelters like those helpless students with peace of mind.

It is even more impossible for this "Lord Apocalypse" to fight against the endless abyss alone.

 If this is the end...

 Let them face death together with the mecha.

"I can do it alone. You are too weak to be of much help."

Jiang Chen spoke quite straightforwardly.

　　But not a single mecha in front of them wavered. They all stood in place, silent.

 A moment passed and he shook his head.

"Well, since you don't want to go in, just stay outside."

 …

 Abyss monsters at night will become violent, and more powerful beings will appear.

Jiang Chen planned to find opportunities on the first night to grow his armor and accumulate attributes, so as to fight against powerful abyss monsters in the future.

At this time, the pilots of these steam mechas are unwilling to hide in the shelter. If they want to help him share the pressure of the monsters, it will inevitably affect his plan.

Fortunately, the impact is not big—just thirty-seven steam mechas, how can they stop the violent monsters at night?

 As time goes by, the fishmen passing by the school have become more and more manic, and their fear of fire is gradually weakening.

 Some of the Abyss fishmen even ran over only one or two meters away from the line of fire and rushed into the night again.

 Until a certain moment.

 They have completely lost their fear of fire.

Hundreds of murlocs with deformed heads emerged from the night, crossed the line of fire, and rushed into the entrance area of ​​the shelter!

 The steam mechas raised their weapons without hesitation and attacked the deformed murlocs approaching them.

 However, something strange happened.

These murlocs did not take the initiative to attack the steam mecha. They were even knocked away by the attack. They did not fight back. They quickly got up and rushed out like crazy.

 They passed by the steam mecha, crossed the line of fire again, and rushed into the night.

 There seems to be something more worthy of their fear than fire.

 Stand high and see far.

 A medium-sized steam mecha saw a vague shadow outline emerging from the darkness in the distance. He looked carefully and his breath was stagnant.

I saw a giant jellyfish-like soft-bodied creature floating in the air, slowly approaching from the direction of the coast.

Ink-like black tentacles extended from underneath it and landed on the ground.

When the dark tentacles came into contact with the deformed fish-man on the ground, they quickly turned into fluid and penetrated along the eyes, mouth and other organs.

Just a moment later, the deformed fishman seemed to be completely filled with black fluid, his body expanded several times, and he moved slowly like a puppet.

As the soft-bodied creature gets closer and closer, you can see huge figures coming out of the streets and ruins below it.

 Deformed fish-men, giants of the abyss…

 There was even a steam mecha that was completely filled with black fluid!

Tentacles extend from their heads, connecting with the soft-bodied creatures in the sky.

 The pilots who saw this scene felt trembling in their souls.

"What it is!?"

 External scanning devices provide the answer.

  【Corruption Matrix】

  【Attributes: Strength 4, Agility 4, Defense 30, Mystery 30. 】

　　【Characteristics: Corrupted lifeforms deformed by ancient gods are not only difficult to destroy themselves, but also have the ability to corrupt and parasitize other things.

 Things parasitized by it will gain far greater power than before. 】

  【Weakness: Fire. 】

 Evaluation: Invincible. 】

This is the monster with the highest mysterious attribute that Jiang Chen has ever seen.

The dual attributes of strength and sensitivity, which are inferior to even those of the Abyss fish-men, do not affect its power at all.

The attributes of the corrupted and parasitized Abyss fish-men have soared to the level of an Abyss giant!

The cargo-carrying steam mecha that was parasitized by corruption also completely got rid of the embarrassing situation of 1 point of agility, and directly increased to 10 points of agility, and its power was also greatly improved.

It’s just a cargo-carrying mecha, and its attributes are almost catching up with those of a medium-sized steam mecha!

 Not to mention the already relatively powerful Abyss Giant.

The dual attributes of force sensitivity have more than doubled, completely suppressing the medium-sized steam mecha.

the most important is…

This corrupt mother body controls so many parasites that even Jiang Chen can't determine the specific number even when he looks over.

This is definitely the weirdest monster Jiang Chen has ever seen so far!

If it were an ordinary new mecha master, he would probably turn around and leave.

 But the drivers at the shelter entrance cannot see these data.

Although they were trembling in their hearts, they still controlled the steam mecha and picked up weapons one by one.

 Machine guns, flamethrowers, chain saw blades, metal drills…

 Considering death, fight to the end!
