Chapter 144 Volcano Eruption
This was also the last time Su Wu strengthened the base vehicle's defense.

Next time, the survival points required will be too high.

It is basically no longer possible in the short term.

The upgraded base vehicle has a more substantial appearance.

There was even a faint blue arc of light appearing above.

That is the symbol of electromagnetic armor.

It can offset some of the physical impact and damage by consuming a certain amount of electricity.

Of course, even so.

It's not strong enough to take a bath in lava.

Maybe it can be used to resist one or two attacks briefly.

However, when the power in the base vehicle is exhausted, or the accumulated damage in a short period of time is too high, it will still be not much different from an ordinary armored vehicle.

27th hour.

The magma lake in the crater was about to spread to a position two or three meters away from the base vehicle.

Su Wu stood in front of the viewing window facing the lava lake.

I even had the illusion that if I didn't stand steadily, I would fall into the rolling magma.

But the crisis does not end there.

further away.

The various depressions that were originally relatively calm gradually cracked into spider-web-like cracks due to the vibration.

From time to time, fire snakes transformed from the hot magma would rush into the air at a height of tens or even hundreds of meters.

And as time goes by.

More and more magma gradually flowed out of those cracks.

Then they converge into streams and then into lakes.

It's like filling in a coloring platter.

Gradually, the color of the entire saline-alkali land changes towards a uniform red color.

The last 15 minutes before the electronic laboratory completes data collection.

Su Wu sat back in the cockpit.

behind him.

The miniature mecha stood quietly with its hatch opened.

That was Su Wu's retreat.

In the worst case scenario, Su Wu was prepared to enter the micro-mech and escape as quickly as possible.

In front of him, on the various electronic screens of the base vehicle.

At this time, various data are constantly displayed.

From the terrain radar in the base vehicle and the reconnaissance drone in the sky.

In the highest intensity reconnaissance mode.

Constantly monitoring geological changes throughout the saline-alkali land.

Then the base vehicle's onboard intelligence is based on this data.

The evacuation route is constantly drawn with a refresh speed of milliseconds.

"There are still 14 minutes left."

Su Wu glanced at the progress in the electronics laboratory.

I have never felt that time passes so slowly as it does now.

The natural disaster coefficient in the system bar has now increased to 16.0.

For every minute you persist, you will gain one extra survival point.

However, this rich harvest not only failed to make Su Wu feel happy, but instead increased his anxiety.

Let him feel himself at this moment.

It was as if you were on a ship that was about to sink into the abyss.

Little by little, I am surrounded by endless despair.

Countdown to 5 minutes.

On the saline-alkali map scanned by a reconnaissance drone.

70% of the area is covered by magma.

After on-board intelligent calculations, the routes left for the base vehicle to leave have been reduced from the original dozen to three.

And each route is flashing on the map.

That means they are all being eroded by magma.

It may be cut off at any time.

Countdown to the last minute.

Su Wu collected the first and third carriages of the base vehicle.

And release all the drone clusters in advance.

Concentratedly waiting for the moment when the task is completed.

The magma has already flowed to the bottom of the base vehicle.

There was also a faint sound of earthquake tremors that was almost like a roar.

Nothing can affect his senses anymore.

He is now like a racer who is waiting for the signal gun to sound and will start the car immediately.

The task ended at the last second. I didn't even bother to collect the task reward.

Su Wu was collecting the second carriage of the base vehicle.

While forcibly starting the engine, he rushed along the last remaining escape route.

Ten seconds later.

A lava river more than two meters wide appeared in front of the base vehicle.

Su Wu just pretended not to see it.

Still driving the base vehicle, he rolled over at a speed close to 60 kilometers per hour.

Large areas of red magma.

As the huge base vehicle broke in, it was splashed into the air.

Some fell on the armor on top of the base vehicle.

It was bounced away again by a tiny blue arc of light.

After rushing through the lava blocking the way.

There was no similar situation on the remaining routes.

But the danger has not diminished, but has become more deadly.

More magma.

Rushing out from the cracks in the depressions along the way.

Some even rushed directly into the sky hundreds of meters high.

Then it exploded.

It broke into countless burning flints and fell to the ground like a rainstorm.

And the base vehicle is the largest target on the ground.

There was obviously no way to escape the rain of flint.

To reduce harm.

Under the control of in-vehicle intelligence.

The rocket launcher located in the third carriage began to fire rockets into the air.

Intercept the largest part of the falling rocks in advance.

A swarm of accompanying drones.

Then begin to intercept another relatively smaller part of the falling rocks.

But the ammunition carried by rocket launchers and drone swarms is ultimately limited.

The base vehicle is driving at high speed.

They can no longer be replenished with ammunition.

Therefore, apart from achieving obvious interception effect within the first one or two minutes of the attack.

The further back.

The effect of interception becomes weaker and weaker.

So much so that the drone ran out of ammunition.

They had to collide with the incoming rocks one by one personally to change their falling trajectory.

Avoid the base vehicle below.

finally.

On the saline-alkali land, it seemed as if an endless rain of fire was pouring down.

The swarm of drones flying above the base vehicle completely disappeared.

Only the base vehicle on the ground is left.

Swallowed by more magma and rain of fire.

"Battery armor loss 27%."

"Battery remaining: 42%."

"Warning, the electromagnetic armor is expected to be destroyed in 3 minutes and 40 seconds."

At this moment.

Through the panoramic glass in front of the cockpit.

There was no longer any sight further away.

There was only endless black smoke, the red light of magma, and the blue arc light coming from the electromagnetic armor of the base vehicle.

Su Wu seemed to be in a continent that was about to fall apart.

Look around.

There is no longer any place to stay.

"Almost out."

In crisis.

Su Wu's mood, on the contrary, was unusually calm.

He stared at the holographic map on the console.

The light spot above, representing the base vehicle, is rapidly moving away from the saline-alkali land where geological changes are frequent.

Rushing towards a relatively stable sand dune.

Su Wu's secondary reinforcement of the base vehicle's armor, and the base vehicle itself can reach a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

Together, they made it possible for the base vehicle to escape successfully.
