Chapter 112: Chapter 110: The Mecha Weapon Shows Its Might
The moment Lu Feng saw the artillery shell, his expression changed drastically.
"Enemy attack!" a hover truck driver yelled, the first to spot the anomaly on his detection screen.
Unfortunately, the shell slammed into the ground an instant later and exploded.
But this shell didn’t erupt into conventional flames. Instead, rings of concussive ripples swept outward in all directions.
As the ripples swept by, the very air seemed to twist and distort.
The hover trucks Lu Feng and his team had brought with them shook violently for a moment. But the people, whether on or off the vehicles, were overwhelmed by the impact. They collapsed to the ground, dizzy and stunned, unable to get up.
In that instant, Lu Feng felt his head ringing, and he could barely stay on his feet.
Considering his physique was far superior to an ordinary person’s, he could only imagine how much worse it was for the fighters from Qingfeng Base.
"A Vibration Bomb... It’s actually one of those things," Lin Jiao cried out, her face grim.
Then, the sound of approaching vehicles could be heard.
A convoy appeared on the other side of the bridge, filled with heavily armed fighters.
Seeing this, Lu Feng willed himself out of the game. He instantly disappeared and returned to reality, finding himself lying on the floor. His head was still ringing violently with tinnitus.
It took a long while before he felt like he had recovered.
’I can’t believe we were attacked with a Vibration Bomb.’
The Vibration Bomb was a special type of ammunition in the game.
This ammunition required special armored weapons to fire, such as a specific type of tank.
The Vibration Bomb was different from a normal shell; its explosion only produced a concussive wave.
When the concussive wave struck a person, it affected their body, causing dizziness, tinnitus, and total weakness, leaving them unable to put up any resistance.
It was a special type of ammunition in the game world of *After the Apocalypse*.
After the protagonist’s team acquired this ammunition, they could use it against bosses, rendering them unable to attack for a short period.
And now, someone was using this very ammunition to attack them.
Lu Feng immediately looked at the game screen. A convoy had already appeared at the head of the bridge, and in its center was a distinctively shaped tank.
Fighters holding weapons poured out from the vehicles.
These people quickly swarmed onto the bridge, surrounding Lin Jiao and her team.
Having just been hit by the Vibration Bomb, Lin Jiao and the others were completely unable to resist.
What Lu Feng didn’t expect was that when a woman and a child appeared, the armed fighters actually parted to make way for them.
It seemed the woman and child were their leaders.
Seeing this, a name surfaced in Lu Feng’s mind: the Sister and Brother Thieves’ Gang.
He had seen information about them on the forums before.
After the apocalypse, evil factions like the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps weren’t the only ones to appear in Celestial Sea City.
Other evil groups had emerged as well, and the Sister and Brother Thieves’ Gang was one of them.
Sometimes, the Sister and Brother Thieves’ Gang was even more difficult to deal with, as they had no fixed base and instead roamed from place to place.
Furthermore, because the younger brother had a medical condition that stunted his growth, he always looked like a child. The two would often pose as a vulnerable mother and son to gather intelligence. Once they had enough information, they would lead their men to attack their target.
Their business was capturing survivors, plundering their possessions, and then selling the survivors like merchandise.
Any survivors who encountered them were in for a major fight; without sufficient strength, they would simply become the siblings’ latest products.
’I can’t believe I ran into this gang while leading a team out to find Mecha weapons.’
At that moment on the game screen, the sister and brother had already walked up to Lin Jiao’s group.
"It’s you!" Lin Jiao glared at the two siblings, her face dark.
She knew she had been careless this time.
The siblings had walked right up to Lin Jiao. The sister, Shu Ting, smugly picked up the laser rifle Lin Jiao had dropped. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Shu Ting. I’m delighted to inform you that you are now my war trophy. Soon, you’ll be my plaything."
The words made Lin Jiao’s face darken, but she was helpless, still feeling weak all over.
The effects of the Vibration Bomb didn’t fade that quickly.
The younger brother, Shu Chang, just as smugly snatched the laser rifles from Chen Tao and Chen Hao. "Remember my name. It’s Shu Chang. I’m going to sell you all for a great price."
The two siblings were incredibly smug.
This was another one of their successes.
Shu Ting smiled and ordered, "Put electronic shackles on all of them."
"Yes, Boss!" someone immediately answered.
Then, a hover truck pulled up. A few people disembarked, each of them holding several sets of electronic shackles.
Seeing this, Lu Feng didn’t hesitate for a second. He took the Mecha weapon case out of his inventory space and activated it.
In an instant, the Mecha once again enveloped his entire body.
’Since these two siblings are asking for death, how can I not oblige? It’s also a perfect opportunity to test the power of this Mecha weapon.’
The next moment, Lu Feng vanished, re-entering the game.
「On the bridge.」
One of the men was walking toward Lin Jiao with a set of electronic shackles. Since Shu Ting had her eyes on her, Lin Jiao was naturally the first target.
But just as the man was about to fasten the electronic shackles around Lin Jiao’s neck, a look of shock crossed his face. He looked down at the hole that had been blasted through his chest.
He then collapsed to the ground.
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone.
Shu Ting and her brother instantly whipped their heads to the side, only to see a figure encased in Mecha that had appeared from nowhere.
The siblings subconsciously felt a sense of dread. They raised the laser rifles in their hands and fired at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng didn’t move. As the laser bolts reached him, they were stopped cold by an energy barrier.
He had activated the energy shield ability.
"A Powered!" Shu Ting’s expression changed in an instant.
In the next instant, Lu Feng raised both hands. In his field of vision, the intelligent auxiliary system produced two crosshairs, locking onto Shu Ting and her brother respectively.
Two laser beams shot out from the Mecha’s palms. An instant later, the siblings looked down in astonishment at their own chests, each pierced clean through by a laser.
Disbelief filled the siblings’ eyes.
They had plundered so many survivors, but they had never imagined they would die so unceremoniously.
With their leaders dead, the rest of the thieves’ gang was stunned. They all turned their weapons on Lu Feng.
But in that same instant, a series of targeting reticles appeared in Lu Feng’s vision, instantly locking onto every one of them.
Firing ports opened up all over his Mecha. Then, a chaotic barrage of laser beams shot out.
The lasers struck the surrounding members of the thieves’ gang with perfect accuracy. In an instant, the entire group was cut down.
At the head of the bridge, the crew inside the tank was stunned. They fired instinctively.
But in the same instant the shell left the barrel, Lu Feng’s Mecha fired a laser of its own, striking the projectile in mid-air.
Lu Feng had been wary of the tank from the moment he arrived. He had already used the intelligent auxiliary system to lock onto it with the Mecha’s laser emitters.
The shell exploded the moment it left the cannon’s muzzle.
Rings of concussive force blasted outward, sweeping across the area. The gang members around the tank clutched their heads and collapsed. The tank itself went silent; its crew had obviously been affected as well.
In a matter of moments, the entire Sister and Brother Thieves’ Gang was annihilated. The scene left Lin Jiao and her team completely shocked, staring in disbelief at the suit of Mecha Lu Feng wore.
’This power... it’s terrifying.’
Lu Feng also felt the Mecha’s incredible power. The only downside was its immense energy consumption; that brief exchange had already used up thirty percent of its power.
Still, the results were magnificent.
’It’s hard to imagine how terrifying it would be if this Mecha weapon appeared in the real world.’
