Chapter 618 Scrubbing? Scrubbing my ass! Watch me take them all back!

As the strongest player in the team, and also the most skilled tank driver, Cheng Tian naturally took the lead at the forefront of the team, responsible for facing the all-round attacks from the Martian camp.

Almost exactly as stereotypical, these Martian flying saucers, with their extremely small size and unique individual soldier specifications reminiscent of the Metal Slug universe, appeared in Cheng Tian's field of vision in large numbers.

It was also accompanied by a considerable number of meteorite fragments with highly unpredictable flight paths.

These meteorite fragments are far more deadly than the Martian flying saucers.

In this weightless space, even a slight force can cause the already erratic meteorite fragments to veer off course. If a person is not focused enough, or if their hands and feet are not coordinated enough to immediately respond to the instructions in their mind, the single-soldier obstacle-breaking rocket that is hit will be one step closer to complete disintegration.

In layman's terms, the Vulcan gun of the Modern Army's individual carrier rocket is the M-bullet of the "Red Bean Gun" in Contra, while the laser of the Martian UFO is the L-bullet of the "Laser Gun" in Contra.

One side uses quantity to compensate for quality, while the other side uses quality to compensate for quantity; their focuses are completely different.

Moreover, compared to the unstoppable advance of individual rockets, the Martian flying saucers have far more freedom in space travel. They clearly utilize completely different technologies, allowing them to adjust their angles at will while maintaining a relatively constant speed with the rocket, enabling them to launch precise strikes from more treacherous positions.

However, the Martians soon realized that something was wrong.

Their highly penetrating laser beam attacks couldn't hit the invading Earthling rockets at all; they were all blocked by a huge spherical energy barrier, and only when the beams hit the barrier would a part of their shape be revealed.

Martians certainly possess energy barrier technology, but it's clearly unnecessary to equip it on a small flying saucer.

However, the fact that Earthlings also possess energy barrier technology was quite unexpected for the Martians.

Since the energy barrier can not only block laser beams, but also physically isolate meteorite fragments, the Modern Army rockets, which were originally scattered around and fighting the Martian attacks alone, spontaneously gathered around the barrier after discovering this situation.

Strangely, this barrier, which could clearly block attacks from Martians or even impacts from meteorite fragments, did nothing to hinder these Modern Army rockets, easily accommodating their presence.

The Martians, with their special communication skills, immediately began to adjust their tactical attack strategy.

Since the opponent is using an energy barrier, it means there will be an energy limit to its use, so the solution can be summed up in one word—

Concentrate fire!

A large number of Martian flying saucers scattered in other areas of the battlefield also rushed over after receiving the signal command, and laser beams from multiple angles were all directed at the barrier.

One round, two rounds, three rounds... N rounds!
Why isn't this shield broken yet?! Is this some kind of infinite energy source? When did Earthlings develop this kind of technology?
The Martians found this phenomenon incomprehensible, but their bewilderment did not deter the counterattack from the Modern Army.

A single semi-automatic Vulcan cannon with only a small rocket is naturally not very powerful, but if the number increases to dozens or hundreds, the sheer quantity can kill. Even with the awareness of sacrifice, the instinct for survival will still drive the Modern Army soldiers to instinctively dodge, which means that their vehicle evasive maneuvers will take much longer than their attack time. However, under the cover of this strange energy shield, because they are in a mobile cover, they obviously have more spare capacity to aim and fire.

And for some reason, the soldiers clearly felt that their bodies were stronger and their spirits were higher.

The laser barrage from the UFO swarm was terrifying, but the barrage from the Vulcan cannons of the rocket swarm was equally impressive.

What the Martians found most incomprehensible was that this energy shield, while blocking their own laser beams, did not similarly block the barrage of bullets from the Vulcan cannons on the other side.

Can energy shields be judged using double standards? Or is it that it can only block energy attacks... wait, it clearly blocked meteorite fragments as well, so why is this happening!?
Before many Martians could find answers to their questions, they were engulfed by the dense barrage of rockets and turned into debris in space.

At this very moment, Cheng Tian, ​​who was at the very front of the entire rocket cluster, was intently watching the changes in his blue bar, which was changing quite dramatically.

The double standard energy shield seen by the Martians comes from Cheng Tian's professional skill, "Guardian Barrier".

Under normal circumstances, Cheng Tian, ​​who uses this ability, is unable to move. However, at this moment, he is in a vehicle, and in this zero-gravity space. The inability to move is covered by the special combination of the current scene and the vehicle, and it has even become a mobile barrier that can move with the vehicle.

The protective barrier, which is responsible for blocking meteorite fragments and laser attacks, is the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Based on Cheng Tian's current 82 points of spirit attribute, which corresponds to 2460 points of MP, it theoretically has the ability to withstand 24600 points of HP.

If it were just a simple 20,000+ HP, it would have been breached long ago under the concentrated fire of the Martian flying saucer.

However, Cheng Tian also has the effect of recovering his magic power after being hit.

With 82 points of Spirit, the normal stacking is 6 times, resulting in a mana regeneration of 524.8 MP per minute. However, just before ascending to the heavens, Cheng Tian had already boosted his Holy Radiance Purification value to 100%, doubling the mana regeneration efficiency to 1049.6 MP.

Because it is outer space, Cheng Tian, ​​who possesses the talent of being blessed by the blazing sun, is essentially being exposed to direct sunlight at all times. This doubles his mana regeneration efficiency, reaching 2099.2 MP per minute, which is about 35 MP per second, equivalent to the barrier's HP tolerance of 350 points.

The salvo of small flying saucers and the impact of meteorite fragments would certainly cause Cheng Tian's mana bar to drop rapidly, but due to the universality of high damage and low frequency, the small flying saucers would always give Cheng Tian some breathing room after a round of shooting, and in just a few breaths, Cheng Tian's mana bar would visibly rise rapidly.

Of course, relying solely on self-regenerated mana wouldn't be enough to withstand such a continuous barrage of attacks, so Cheng Tian's stockpile of mana-restoring consumables, such as large and small mana potions and Divine Dragon Ancient Water, had already been heavily depleted.

Fortunately, the Modern Army soldiers protected by Cheng Tian's barrier, as well as the air combat specialists who were originally from the opposing camp but are now cooperating, have also begun to exert their strength. Their attacks are effectively reducing the number of small flying saucers, providing Cheng Tian with more opportunities to breathe and regenerate mana.

The appearance of lightning beams, floating wingmen, Valkyrie transformable fighters, super-muscular wingmen, and chubby tiger and Suneo wingmen made the already brutal battlefield scene even more... bizarre!
