Chapter 345 The Farmer and the Electricity Thief

In the Armored Warriors universe, players' abilities are forcibly bound to and synchronized with their mechs, granting them special abilities of corresponding specifications.

However, this also means accepting the rules of this world: mechs have overwhelming destructive power against those who are not wearing them.

How can flesh and blood stand against steel?
Eileen's furious, powerful Strike already possessed the terrifying destructive power to pierce through all first-generation mass-produced mechs. After losing her mech as a buffer, the female Ironblood Hyena's strength and health, which were actually quite good for her level, were practically useless.

However, with the death of the female Ironblood, the alien that had parasitized Gates and was released beforehand did not disappear with her.

On the contrary, due to the death of the female Ironblood, this alien was no longer bound by its superior unit, thus fulfilling the condition of becoming the sole individual of the species. That is, it gained the conditions to grow into the Alien Queen and immediately went wild, becoming a monster/mech unit.

Unlike the alien units in the normal worldview, the Gates alien is a special case that feeds by devouring metal. And right now, this mech destruction factory, which is filled with mountains of abandoned mechs, is a huge buffet for the Gates alien!
It's the perfect place to become an empress and to give birth to countless Iron Xenomorphs in the future! Without a doubt!

...But before that, there is still a formidable obstacle to overcome.

"it is mine!"

Eileen, who had shredded the female Ironblood with an arrow, roared at Cheng Tian through the cockpit, clearly still furious.

"Yes, yes, yes~ Here you go~"

As Cheng Tian responded, he raised the Prince's Sword and, in conjunction with the Mind Crystal, summoned three teams of Silver Valimes to surround the Gates Alien still within the Mind Barrier.

Without a doubt, if this Gates Alien can escape the barrier and settle in the mech destruction factory to evolve into the Alien Queen, the Armored Warrior universe will likely gain a very powerful steel alien force.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Cheng Tian might have had some thoughts, but Eileen's only thought about it was to kill it as soon as possible.

The Gates Alien, having gained the authority to grow into an empress, essentially has no option to "submit to others."

There can only be one queen, and anything that stands in the way of her becoming queen is simply—

"died."

Bazett, piloting the civil engineering mech she renamed "Red Branch," casually grabbed an iron rod and poked the Gates alien wreckage that was being corroded by the acidic engine oil as it made a hole in its chest.

At this moment, Eileen had an incredibly refreshed expression on her face, and the resentment she had been holding back for so long was finally released.

Although he didn't actually return to the real "Alien vs. Predator" scenario to find the Alien Queen and get revenge, he certainly felt much more relaxed.

"Should I open the box?"

Cheng Tian dragged the female Ironblood's Bloody Treasure Chest in front of Eileen.

"Go ahead and drive, I'm satisfied."

Eileen, seemingly still savoring something, slumped in the cockpit, looking like she didn't want to move.

Cheng Tian shrugged and casually opened the box.

As expected, the female Ironblood who was assigned to the rebels from the beginning has a high PK value, and may even be a red name. The dropped items will be selected directly from the equipment slot and the item slot. At the same time, an item that she is not carrying but stored in her personal space will also be randomly selected to drop.

The result was quite unexpected. The Predator Mask, exclusive to the Predator race, randomly dropped from the equipment slot, but the Predator Hunter system that could match it was missing.

However, according to Cheng Tian's understanding, equipment with fixed racial restrictions can actually be modified. If one is willing to pay the price of reduced equipment effectiveness, one can find a craftsman to remove the racial restrictions.

The inventory dropped a purple Vitality Potion, commonly known as the "little purple bottle" in Diablo II. It instantly restores 35% of health and mana upon use. However, unlike in the game, this healing item has a forced usage interval due to its powerful effect, preventing it from being used consecutively.

This thing is a real lifesaver, and you can use it with a single thought directly from your inventory, without even a delay.

Unfortunately, the female Ironblood was instantly killed, and she couldn't use this thing at the moment of death.

But in Cheng Tian's opinion, the items dropped by the female Ironbloods were the most interesting.

It turned out to be an item called "The Farmer's Mandatory Invitation".

[The Farmer's Forced Invitation: Consumable, Special Item. Although the farmer himself captured the power thieves for the hunting game, his anger will flare up as the thieves turn on their generators one by one, and he'll want to kill them all.]

Only players with red names and a PK value of 15 or higher can activate and use this feature.

During your stay in the Chosen Space, you can select up to 4 players of the same or lower rank who know your Space ID as targets. This will be forcibly activated before the main quest officially begins each month. At that time, you and the selected players will be simultaneously thrown into a closed farm-type instance from which there is no normal escape, and a forced "1V4 rule-based killing battle" will begin.

You will play as a "farmer" and hunt down selected players.

The selected player will play the role of an "electricity thief," trying to escape or launch a counterattack against the farmer.

The match will only end when one side is completely dead or escapes.

If an electricity thief successfully escapes the farm, one item will be randomly selected from your inventory as loot.

Regardless of the number of survivors on either side, they will all be re-entered into the main storyline instance after leaving the temporary instance.

[Additional comment: It's hard to imagine that among those farmers who can teleport, enter dreams, are infected with the T-virus, and exist between the surface and the inner world, there's one who can only run around on the ground setting traps and still manage to catch himself...]

Wow! It's a farmer and an electricity thief!
The invitation in his hand, each word seemingly written in blood and now dried, made Cheng Tian very happy.

In fact, he had previously deliberately collected and recorded the names of various dungeons he saw in the mission center in order to confirm how many game dungeons were available in the space.

Dead by Daylight was not on the list, and Cheng Tian couldn't think of how such a game could exist as a dungeon.

Unexpectedly, it exists in a form similar to a forced duel space.

As a game that has collaborated with a large number of copyrighted works, characters from various different works can be found in it. Although the Predator does not appear in it, the Alien is.

Could it be that this female Ironblood's alien pet was obtained from a farm?

However, in the original Deadly Game, the "farmer" had an absolute advantage in combat power over the "electricity thieves," who could only try to escape and could not fight against the farmer.

But what if the two sides were players instead?
Cheng Tian was very curious!
