Chapter 145 The Listening Mech
"Watch out, it's underground..."
Kolova's Softwater exclaimed in surprise, and the ripples on the surface of her deep sea blue and shadow black mecha, which had been like slowly flowing water, suddenly became rapid.
Faced with several deadly thorns attacking from different angles, the legs, waist, and even arms of the Soft Water suddenly liquefied at the critical moment.
The tough mech armor seemed to instantly transform into liquid memory metal, gently dodging the piercing attack trajectory like flowing water.
The piercing tongue seemed to penetrate not metal, but a viscous, constantly flowing, deep blue body of water. Most of the force was dissipated, absorbed, and dissolved by this peculiar fluid form.
At the same time, the special fluid jet nozzles on the soft water's arm suddenly started operating.
"Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh!"
Several highly compressed, sharp-edged water jets shot out.
These water blades are not ordinary water streams, but special liquids produced by a mimicry fluid generation system, containing high-energy cutting force.
"Pfft... Pfft!"
The water blade easily severed the barbed tongues of the foremost salamanders, and even sliced off the heads of two salamanders that had charged too close.
The bluish-black splattered blood was immediately swallowed by the fluid armor surrounding the Softwater, which had not yet fully solidified, as if it had been dropped into the ocean without leaving a trace.
Having landed a successful blow, Kolova did not stop.
Her fighting style is like flowing water, all-pervasive and ever-changing.
The pair of flexible, jellyfish-like manipulators on the shoulders emerged silently, incredibly agile, and quickly created an invisible field in front of them composed of a special viscous fluid.
The moment the salamanders rushed into the area, their movements became incredibly sluggish, as if they were stuck in an invisible quagmire. The more they struggled, the tighter they were entangled by the fluid.
Meanwhile, the main body of the Soft Water moved among the beasts like a ghost.
The liquid pierced through the deadly attack, instantly hardened, and was cut by high-pressure water blades. The next moment, it spread out into a fluid field, restricting the movement of large numbers of enemies.
Kolova's movements were less like a clash of steel and more like an elegant, fluid dance.
Her presence greatly disrupted the salamander horde's ambush rhythm, creating numerous opportunities for her teammates to deal damage.
……
Mech Files: Soft Water!
Kolova's Soft Water is a special infiltration and liquid control mech. It is a couple's set with the Thunder Prison mech and has a built-in symbiotic link system.
It has a deep sea blue color with a water ripple pattern, presenting a slow-flowing visual effect.
The arms and legs are equipped with special fluid jets for maneuvering and manipulating fluids.
It has a pair of flexible sensing and manipulating arms on its shoulders, resembling jellyfish tentacles, which can perform delicate operations in liquid.
Mimicry System: Liquid memory metal and mimicry fluid generation system greatly enhance and protect the user's liquefaction capabilities.
Equipped with a life support system and an integrated liquid life support unit, the mech liquefies simultaneously with the user when the user liquefies, enveloping them and providing full-body protection, oxygen, and energy replenishment, allowing the user to remain submerged in water or in the shadows for several days at a time.
With its liquefaction capabilities and biomimetic system, it can blend into any fluid environment or shadow, allowing for perfect stealth and infiltration.
With its flexible operating arm on the shoulder, it can perform delicate tasks such as setting up traps even in liquid conditions.
The cooperative combat capability, when combined with the Thunder Prison, can unleash even stronger destructive force, guiding the Thunder Prison's overloaded lightning and releasing it indiscriminately within the liquid area it creates, forming a super-large-scale conductive lake or a devastating thunderstorm, achieving an ultimate large-scale clearing effect, which is even more effective against the Devouring Beast horde.
……
Suddenly, several large calyx beasts appeared from behind the herd, and the mental interference they emitted caused several team members to freeze in their tracks. This superimposed mental attack was far more powerful than ever before.
"Sonic interference!"
At this moment, Nunn's Listener shouted, and his mech released a reverse sonic wave, immediately launching an attack.
"Buzz!"
An invisible yet precise reverse sound wave spread out from the center of the Listening Ship, not as an attack, but as a neutralization.
The high-frequency hissing of those calyx beasts, capable of deafening ordinary people and even interfering with mech sensors, is completely neutralized halfway through its journey, as if it has hit an invisible soundproof wall. The amplitude of the sound waves is perfectly canceled out, and their power is greatly reduced.
All that was transmitted to the receivers of Nunn and his nearby teammates' mechs were a few muffled sounds, greatly weakened and causing no damage.
However, Nunn's attack had only just begun.
His combat doesn't require aiming with the naked eye.
The enormous sensor on its head clearly showed the location of each salamander, even the subtle vibrations of their muscles contracting in preparation for another launch.
He raised his arm, and the few inconspicuous directional sound wave transmitters on his arm instantly locked onto the target.
"Found you. Be quiet."
Nunn muttered to himself, concentrating.
"call out!"
A concentrated beam of high-energy infrasound, imperceptible to human hearing, shot into the hiding place of a large salamander that had just retreated underground and was preparing to launch another sneak attack.
Infrasound waves can bypass the barriers of soil and rocks and act directly on the inside of organisms.
A loud noise suddenly came from underground, but it quickly subsided.
The core of that salamander had been completely shattered by the deadly infrasound resonance, and it died silently in its own lair.
But this is only a single-point clear.
Nunn turned his attention to the more densely packed herds on the ground.
Transmitter mode switch!
"Buzz!"
A wider-ranging, slightly weaker dizzying ultrasonic wave swept out like a fan.
The snake-dogs and salamanders that were hit by the ultrasonic waves instantly became stiff and chaotic. They lost their balance as if they were drunk, spinning in place and whimpering in pain.
These Devouring Beasts suffered severe disruption to their nervous system and inner ear balance mechanisms, resulting in a complete loss of orientation and coordination.
The dizzy monster instantly became an excellent target.
"Target marked, action restricted."
Nunn calmly reported in the channel, providing his teammates with the perfect opportunity to deal damage.
His battles lacked dazzling light and shadow explosions, and intense head-on collisions, yet they were like thunderclaps heard in silence.
……
Mech Files: The Listener!
Nunn's Listener is a wide-area acoustic detection and countermeasure mech.
Its exterior is dark green, resembling a mobile, cutting-edge acoustic research institute.
Its shape is bulky and unique, with rounded lines and fewer sharp angles to optimize acoustic performance.
The head lacks traditional facial structures and is replaced by a huge satellite-receiving dish-shaped composite acoustic wave collector, surrounded by several smaller auxiliary collectors.
The shoulder and chest armor are exceptionally thick, with a complex internal cushioning and noise reduction system.
It features an ultra-large composite acoustic wave collecting sensor and a large pot lid on its head.
It can capture, amplify, and precisely analyze the most minute sound wave vibrations from extremely distant locations.
Theoretically, its listening range can reach tens of kilometers, and it can detect subtle sounds such as the Devouring Beast breaking a tree branch.
Defensive features, including active noise reduction and shockwave buffering, are integrated into thick armor.
Once harmful noise exceeding a set threshold, such as 80 decibels, is detected, the mech system will generate a reverse sound wave to neutralize it within a very short time, one ten-thousandth of a second.
It forms a protective buffer field outside the user's auricle, so that even if an explosion occurs nearby, only a muffled sound will reach the ear, perfectly protecting the user's extraordinary hearing.
The weaponry includes a directional sonic transmitter concealed in the arm's firing port.
This sound wave can be used for precise sound simulation to confuse the enemy.
The attack is non-lethal; it simply fires at a specific frequency to make the enemy dizzy and lose their balance.
It also has lethal strikes, capable of emitting high-energy infrasound or ultrasound waves to directly shatter the enemy's internal organs.
The core of the mecha's operation is sound, which is connected to the user's nervous system, making hearing the mecha's primary sensor.
Chapter 146 Udin's Mech
The most insidious is the large bearer.
They hid at the very back, their humanoid tails twisting and waving, launching facehugger insectoids at them like cannonballs.
"Beware of the minions; they are numerous and highly corrosive!"
The warning from the second tube was urgent, and his figure had already transformed into the most elusive shadow of death on the battlefield.
The Ghost, with its matte deep space gray finish and fragmented, multi-faceted lines, had its optical camouflage generator units running at full power.
It not only distorted the light, but also perfectly simulated the temperature and chaotic energy fluctuations of the surrounding ruins, instantly disappearing completely from the visual and sensor level.
There was no sound, no trace.
The next moment, on the flight path of the densest cluster of facehugger bugs, a faint blue light flashed like the forked tongue of a venomous snake in the dark night.
"Shh! Shh! Shh!"
The high-frequency particle vibration blade cut through the air with a sound so faint it was almost drowned out by the battlefield noise.
But the effect was terrifying!
Those tough little beasts, tough enough to bite through ordinary armor and covered in highly corrosive slime, were cut in two the instant they came into contact with that dark blue blade, like butter meeting a hot knife.
Only limbs, broken into two or more pieces, mixed with disgusting bodily fluids, fell from mid-air.
The Ghost Ship's silhouette vanished in a flash, disappearing back into the environment as if it had never existed.
His attacks did not stop; instead, they became faster and faster, with stealth attacks.
The ultra-quiet vector thrusters on its legs occasionally emitted extremely faint pulses, propelling the stealthy mech to perform short-range, explosive, and bizarre displacements.
It might have just emerged from the shadows and chopped off three or five of its minions, only to reappear a dozen meters away at another angle the next second. With a swing of its wrist blade, it disintegrated several minions that were about to pounce on the back of the Ulanmaido White Flowing Cloud in mid-air.
