[Unit Characteristics - 50/50, Martian Fossil Cluster, Shield Master]

As the serpentine light and shadow charged forward, the attributes of this green-glowing Martian captain also emerged.

Cheng Tian noticed, however, that Steve, who hadn't been attacked at all, had lost 100 HP.

Cheng's gaze shifted to the newly generated mushroom shield on the clone's arm.

The Modern Army soldiers in the rear had no idea what was going on. Faced with the sudden appearance of the green-skinned Steve clone, their choice was to fire immediately.

However, facing the concentrated fire from the Modern Army, the green-skinned Steve immediately ducked down, his Stars and Stripes mushroom shield protecting most of his body. The shield, which should have been quickly destroyed by the concentrated fire of firearms, at this moment showed a function very similar to the Captain America shield that Cheng Tian once held, blocking and deflecting most of the artillery fire... but it only lasted for five or six seconds in total.

Even with the aura of the Grand Commander, the Modern Army was still too imposing. Moreover, Steve, who was only an elite template and only had a non-original mushroom shield, was already showing his shield mastery by successfully withstanding five or six seconds of concentrated fire.

To the Modern Army's surprise, Steve, whose strength and agility were almost at the limit, did not make any effective dodge when his shield shattered. He simply let the subsequent artillery fire hit him and finally fell to the ground in a terrible state, with an arrow in his head and green blood spurting from his body.

However, at the same moment that Green Steve died, his body, like all the Martians he had killed before, had its muscles rapidly turn into bodily fluids that seeped into the ground, and then its green bones also decomposed rapidly.

Upon seeing this, the Modern Army erupted in cheers.

But just a few seconds later, their cheers came to an abrupt halt, as more clones identical to the dead green-skinned Steve filed into their view.

Judging from attributes and health alone, the Steve clone with only the elite template can only be described as a slightly stronger grunt. However, it has a terrifying spawn rate comparable to the lowest-level grunt!

The strength and quantity of monster units are usually inversely proportional. The ordinary template's minions have the lowest strength but the highest spawn rate, and are usually positioned as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The boss in the leader template is the strongest, and there are usually only one or two of them. They are the absolute core of the monster group.

The strength ratio of the leader template, elite template, and champion template falls between the two.

As elite units, they usually appear alongside groups of regular soldiers, with an approximate ratio of 1 elite unit for every 100 regular soldiers.

But at this moment, the green-skinned Steve clones broke this rule, and they were surging out at a speed slightly slower than the ordinary ones but slightly faster than the leaders.

The clone Steves, who already possessed the ability to create shields, quickly formed a mushroom shield wall capable of withstanding most frontal attacks. Behind the shield, the other Steves launched their shields at different angles, using the surrounding floor, walls, and ceiling as a medium, creating a massive barrage of attacks.

The Modern Army, naturally unwilling to be outdone, once again channeled their battlefield shooting skills, and bullets rained down on the countless shields.

This time, however, the target is one that can actually hit people.

The mushroom shield is naturally no match for the real Captain America shield, but it has similar defensive and deflection capabilities. Even if it gets hit too many times and is about to shatter, it can still deflect some bullets back before it actually breaks.

Thus, the Modern Army's volley of fire resulted in the generation of a large number of stray bullets with unpredictable angles, from which it was impossible to know where they would bounce back.

If Cheng Tian hadn't activated the protective barrier in time, a batch of Modern Army soldiers would probably have already fallen. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change; while these Captain America clones are relatively lacking in offensive capabilities, their defensive performance is beyond imagination. Conventional firepower is no longer suitable for breaking through this line.

So, what response did humanity choose...?

With a flash of light, a colossal vehicle, almost filling the entire passageway, equipped with metal tracks and heavy weaponry, appeared out of thin air in everyone's sight.

King of the Land, Radar.

At this moment, Cheng was still in the rolling gorilla, but this did not prevent him from remotely controlling the radar number through the tank matrix.

All of Radar's fire systems were in standby mode, and Cheng Tian had no intention of using them. What he wanted was Radar's massive size and powerful kinetic energy.

"Let me show you what a Blue Warrior from the Transcending Squad really is!"

Matching Cheng Tian's speech was naturally the roar of the radar's engines and the turning of its tracks.

The green-skinned Steves, who had no independent thought but could receive signals from the Martian Roots with zero delay, almost without hesitation abandoned their mushroom shield walls and threw all their shields at the radar!

Because of the sheer number of shields thrown, almost a single salvo from the shields left the radar ship's front riddled with holes and even produced some smoke effects, clearly indicating significant damage.

The qualitative change resulting from quantitative change is truly terrifying.

But at that very moment, six or seven LV mechs with flames erupting from their jetpacks suddenly sprang out from the Modern Army group. Each of these mechs carried a bucket of a universal recovery item, unique to the Metal Slug dimension and usable by all vehicles.

gasoline!

With the pouring of these flammable and explosive dangerous liquids, the radar, which was already smoking, was instantly repaired, and the drilling speed of the metal tracks was significantly increased.

Amidst the repeated barrages of shield fire and gasoline repairs, the Radar crashed headlong into the green-skinned Steves, slamming into the only passageway.

Alongside a series of indescribable sounds of flesh being crushed, a large amount of juice and bits of meat were sprayed everywhere.

Fast recycling!
With a wave of his hand, Cheng Tian caused the radar signal, which was strong enough to block the entire passage, to vanish into thin air, revealing a ground littered with self-dissolving corpses and a wide-open passageway.

Without further ado, all the Earth Force personnel began to orderly crawl inside.

Inside the passageway was a space filled with numerous thick pipes. A colossal Martian individual, with a transparent glass dome over its head and numerous pipes and mechanical devices embedded in its brain, was slowly turning its eyes, looking at Cheng Tian and his group, protected by a large number of Martians and green-skinned Steve.

And it was the true leader of the Martian race!
The Roots of Mars!
