Chapter 221 - 221 The City's Defense Battle

221 The City’s Defense Battle

Before Angelica could familiarize herself with the operating system of the mech she was piloting, she suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the sky above the city.

Looking up, Angelica saw a shocking scene.

A huge crack suddenly appeared on the ceiling of the city!

Afterward, an extremely huge drill bit fell from the top while spinning rapidly.

Angelica had already learned about the machines during the meeting with the spaceship captains. She also knew that the machines were digging a path through Zion.

Now, it seemed that the huge drill that appeared on the ceiling was a machine specially made for digging tunnels.

[Damn! Zion should be buried at least a few kilometers underground, but this drill machine can directly dig through the surface?! Isn’t it too fast?!]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[I thought it would take the machines at least 10 days to half a month to arrive. How did they arrive so quickly today?]

[To be honest, this drill machine looks quite domineering.]

At this moment, the live stream room viewers naturally noticed the existence of the drill machine. They were all amazed while watching the scene.

Meanwhile, the viewers began to look forward to the following battle between humanity and machines. After all, the humans also had a large number of mecha warriors, and it seemed that they still had the strength to fight.

[Although the battle hasn’t started yet, I’m absurdly excited now!]

[Haha! It’s the real war between humanity and machines. It must be the most exciting of the three The Matrix games!]

[Players who bought the first two games of The Matrix must be crying now. They will buy only The Matrix III if they know this will happen. Haha!]

Angelica was focused on the drill machine on the ceiling, and she didn’t have much energy to pay attention to the comments in the live stream room.

Finally, the entire tunnel that the drill machine had dug out was on full display for all to see.

Soon, countless Sentinels swarmed out of the huge passage like a large, dark cloud, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

The moment the Sentinels appeared, all the mechas in the city, who had already formed a tight formation, aimed their weapons at the passage above and pulled the trigger.

The side quest didn’t give Angelica any hints before it started, and it didn’t guide the players on what to do.

However, there was no need for any hints in such a side quest scenario.

Angelica immediately controlled the mech to raise the machine gun, aim it at the swarming Sentinels, and pull the trigger to fire wildly.

Angelica felt excited when she felt the vibration from the cockpit.

Although Angelica was a girl, she felt that she was having a forthright experience, as if she had become a warrior who fought bravely on the battlefield.

The live stream room viewers found the spectacular scene enjoyable. However, some viewers questioned.

[Didn’t the people in this world already master the technology of electromagnetic pulse bombs? Why didn’t they just use the electromagnetic pulse bombs to destroy these machines?]

[That’s right, I have the same doubts. Why do players have to use such primitive means as machine guns to kill these Sentinels?]

Angelica didn’t even need to respond to their questions. Many live stream room viewers, especially those who had watched The Matrix I and The Matrix II, spontaneously explained the situation to them.

It was because Neo, the character Angelica controlled, had been to the city before in the previous The Matrix games. He had even visited the core of the city with a member of Zion’s defenses.

It was where all the machines existed. The entire city was underground, but it was still operating self-sufficiently. It relied on huge machines that had been built hundreds of years ago to provide energy.

[Obviously, the person who asked such a question is new to Angelica’s live stream room. Regular viewers wouldn’t ask such a question!]

[That’s right! They may not be aware that machines keep the city in good condition. If they use electromagnetic pulse bombs in their city, they will destroy the Sentinels and themselves at the same time.]

[There’s no sunlight underground. Without machines to provide energy for food production and water purification, it’s no different from waiting for death.]

[That’s why you can’t use electromagnetic pulse bombs in your city. Do you understand now?]

Meanwhile, Angelica didn’t have the time to pay attention to what the comments were saying. She only felt that her fingers were going numb.

In the beginning, the battle was enjoyable, like the thrill of killing a lot of enemies at the same time.

However, as time went on, the cruelty of the battle gradually increased, and the players naturally couldn’t enjoy the game as much as they had at the beginning.

Of course, having a high level of difficulty in the game itself was also a form of fun.

Since the players couldn’t use electromagnetic pulse bombs in their cities, they could only use mechas. These mechas were also driven by the most basic mechanical transmission system.

It was the only way to reduce the number of electronic devices in the mech. Otherwise, the Sentinels would carry the electromagnetic pulse bomb into the city.

One bomb was enough to paralyze all the soldiers in the city.

Humans could only pilot their mechas and engage in urban combat with the Sentinels.

The battle began to become unusually brutal. Somebody lost their life while operating a mecha almost every second.

The cruel scene made Angelica and every live stream room viewer feel their souls had been baptized.

[Sigh, although it’s just a game, I still want to say that war is too cruel. The peace we have now is not easy to come by!]

[That’s right! It’s so good to live in a peaceful era. With the current technology, if a global war suddenly breaks out, I can’t imagine what kind of terrifying scene it will become.]

[I hope the war between humanity and machines that appears in the game won’t become a reality!]
