After coming out of that tunnel, Feng Bujue saw another mountain in front of them.
The slope of this mountain is relatively gentle as a whole, and there is a river flowing down the mountain.
Even standing at the foot of the mountain, you can see many bunkers and forts of the Kestrel Army, as well as some patrolling posts on the way up the slope.
Of course, Feng Bujue and the others simply didn't pay attention to obstacles of this level.
In fact, for their assault team, this kind of terrain environment is the most suitable for action.
The four of them went up the mountain like this, taking down guard posts one after another, and killing dozens of Kestrel soldiers.
Finally on top of a waterfall they saw a small OSS...
The appearance of this little OSS is rather mighty, it has a head as big as a truck head, shaped like a lizard; it also has two huge tentacles, which are thrown out like whips. Besides... nothing else...
Because this little OSS has no body, its head and tentacles are parasitic on the mountain rock, and under the rock it is parasitic on is a metal gate connected to the mountain body.
When encountering this kind of enemy, Feng Bujue took up the task of probing without hesitation.
But seeing him rushing up alone, using superman's speed and reflexes to play with the little OSS for more than two minutes, after that, he returned to the safe zone where his teammates were like walking around.
"Okay, let me talk about tactics." When Brother Jue came back, he began to explain the strategy method without panting.
After explaining the style of play to those three, the four of them rushed out together.
The tricky thing about this small OSS is that its attack methods are relatively comprehensive—its tentacles can directly sweep the enemy physically; it can also spit out a fireball with a diameter of about one meter and a slight explosion effect from its mouth; in addition, it The front end of the tentacles can also emit a small fireball that does not fly too fast.
To get rid of this monster, it is really tiring to go it alone.
However, it's much easier to work with four people...
Feng Bujue's arrangement was: he himself held the head at the shortest distance, while dodging the fireball, and pointed at the monster's mouth at the same time.
Isaac and Lightning Head ran to the two wings of the OSS respectively, and attacked at a position about ten meters away from the physical attack range of the tentacles. Fireball will do.
The bearded man carrying the small steel cannon is the most relaxed. Because the weapon he chooses is heavy, his mobility becomes relatively poor, but its firepower and range are not a joke; Suppressing firepower from the rear, anyway, just hit the head.
That's it... The four of them formed a formation, and apart from anything else, they bombed indiscriminately.
The progress of the battle was shorter than they imagined. After three minutes of fighting, the OSS could no longer hold on. After a dull wail, it actually... exploded.
This can be regarded as one of Contra's characteristics, anyway, things that are closed to the bottom must explode before they are finished.
And with the death of this little OSS, the metal gate under the rock also exploded, revealing another mountain tunnel...
"This should be the entrance to the fourth level." Feng Bujue looked at the tunnel, muttered something, and then looked back at Isaac and the others, "Do you want to take a break?"
"No need." The bearded man walking from a distance replied while walking, "I'm not tired at all."
Before his words fell, the lightning head on the side also answered: "I'm not tired either."
"Oh?" Seeing this situation, Feng Bujue seemed to realize something, and he immediately looked at Isaac, "So... you don't feel tired either?"
Isaac shook his head: "No."
"Well... that's it." Brother Jue pondered thoughtfully, "I see..."
Seeing Feng Bujue's reaction, Isaac seemed to understand something, and he said, "Mr. Feng, I was just about to ask you too... Counting from the time we set off by the beach, we have passed through a coconut grove, Attacked a camp, opened a tunnel full of enemies, and now fought all the way to this mountain; during this period, we didn't rest once, and we didn't even drink a sip of water..." When he said this, he paused for half a second , and then asked, "However, until now, I haven't felt tired at all... It's a little strange, isn't it?"
"Indeed, it's not normal, but..." Feng Bujue replied in a relaxed tone, "Just now, I've thought about it... It's most likely caused by the dimension change. Simply put... This phenomenon is because you have become similar to 'game characters'."
"What do you mean?" The bearded man continued, "Could it be that... I have become Mario?"
"Almost, but you can't double your size by eating a mushroom." Feng Bujue replied, "You can't jump a few meters like the protagonist in Contra, or fly like Sonic. Ben...you just have some characteristics of game characters, for example—you don’t need to consider physical strength.”
"Haha! That's great, I can kill myself." The bearded man seemed quite happy after hearing this.
But Isaac is different. He thinks more: "So... after destroying Pita, can we return to the original dimension... or... can we return to human?"
"I don't know." Feng Bujue didn't intend to fool the other party, he told the truth, "I only know... After destroying Pita, my 'mission' will be completed, and I will be teleported by a higher power Go to another dimension; and you... Although I can try to use my ability to help you go back, I can't guarantee that it will be successful."
"So..." Isaac continued, "Technically speaking, we in the real world are probably already three dead people, right?"
When he asked this question, he seemed quite calm.
"Yes." Feng Bujue also responded with a similar tone.
"Huh...it doesn't matter." The bearded man said, "When those mechanical bastards killed my daughter, I thought I was dead; as long as I can kill Puta, I will go to hell."
"Heh..." Lightning smiled wryly, "It's okay with me, I've already made preparations to sacrifice for the rebels."
Two seconds later, Isaac raised his head and looked at his comrades beside him.
He didn't say anything similar, just stared at them for a few seconds, and then said: "Let's go."
...
The mountain tunnel in the fourth level is basically an enhanced version of the previous tunnel.
The ground here is red, and the color of the defense wall is changed to green. The number of soldiers and defensive walls in the tunnel has increased, and not only the large machines at the bottom, but also the defensive walls on the way have adopted a multi-energy core design.
However, because of their previous experience, the speed of the four of them passing through this enhanced version of the tunnel was actually accelerated, and the small OSS at the bottom did not cause them too much trouble.
In about fifteen minutes, they broke through this area and entered the next level.
After walking out of that tunnel, what appeared in front of the four of them was a forest covered with snow. In reality, this kind of "going through a cave as if you are on the other side of the earth" is naturally impossible, but in the game world-don't care about these details.
From this point on, the combat strength of the Kestrel Army has finally upgraded to a level that is enough to threaten Brother Jue and the others.
First of all, the main enemy in this area is a kind of powerful red-armored soldier who is stronger than the green-clothed soldier in the tunnel; Admit that the standard of these guys has exceeded the average level of their rebel soldiers.
Secondly, from the moment they entered this area, Feng Bujue and the others were constantly being attacked by grenades flying from unknown directions. Those grenades all came from far away. Although their speed was not fast and their trajectories were obvious, the disgusting thing was...these grenades came in endlessly, and their launch coordinates could not be identified. The four can only keep moving under the pressure of these grenades, because once they stop, they will be bombed.
Under such pressure, they also have to face two new enemies that debuted in this area: one is the elite kestrel soldier who controls the repeater turret, and the other is the armored vehicle.
It can be said that at this level, the difficulty of the battle has really reached a new level. Under the premise of not being able to use skills, even Feng Bujue was not sure that he could pass without injury on his own.
Fortunately... at this moment, he is not alone. Even if the three NCs of the rebel army can't compare with Brother Jue, they still belong to the "Contra" level of combat power.
The four of them worked together, and after 30 minutes of fierce fighting, they finally reached the end of the level without any danger.
What is not directly proportional to the difficulty of the level itself is that the OSS at the end of this level is so weak that it is funny...
Basically, it was a small mechanical fortress floating in the air. It looked quite advanced, and there seemed to be more than one or two attack modes, but... it was too brittle.
When the four saw the thing falling from the sky, they almost instinctively raised their weapons to the sky. Unexpectedly, after the first burst, the little OSS burst into black smoke and fell obliquely from the sky while exploding.
It may be due to the size, or the heavy armor was discarded for the suspension function. In short... the defense of this OSS is so low that it cannot be hit by a single shot, so it is over.
After finishing this funny thing, Brother Jue and the others continued to move forward. This time, what awaited them was not a tunnel built in the mountain, but a huge, all-man-made building.
Judging from the transformation of the map area, this should be the sixth level in the legendary "Eight Underwater Levels".
Although Feng Bujue also knew that the eight underwater levels were just a "rumor", but when he really got here, he couldn't help being curious. After all, it was clearly written on the task bar [Enter the Contra area] "Underwater Eight Levels"], he has no reason not to try it.
So, before entering that building, Feng Bujue stopped Isaac and the three of them, and wanted to explain to them the setting of the so-called "Eight Underwater Levels" and let them pay attention to a "special" Kestrel soldiers, in order to meet the entry conditions required by that rumor.
As a result, even Brother Jue didn't expect that the three people in front of him knew about the "Eight Underwater Passes", and even the bearded man who was not a Zhiyue knew this story.
That being the case, things will be easier to handle. Feng Bujue persuaded them to complete this task together by fooling around as a "savior".
...
After the discussion was over, the four entered the sixth level.
The scene inside the building looks like a processing factory. There are green conveyor belts on the undulating gray metal platforms, and the blue pipes are connected everywhere; basically on each platform, there are several flashing lights. The red indicator light of the energy nuclear light source is used as a lighting device.
Not long after rushing in, Brother Jue and the others discovered...there were not many enemies in this level, and it can be said that they took the "fewer but better" route; There are no other types of enemies.
The four fought and walked, and after rushing for about ten minutes, they came to an area with many flamethrowers.
These mechanism-like things... the rules are relatively obvious, and they can be passed after a little observation. They don't pose any threat, but they are just annoying.
After spending a little time, Feng Bujue and the others passed through this place and came to a rather wide space.
At this time, under their feet is a luminous conveyor belt of constantly changing colors, surrounded by an empty darkness.
All four of them know that this place is close to the end of the sixth level, but...
"What's going on? I've been here, and I haven't seen that special soldier." The bearded man couldn't help but read.
"Hmm... that's very strange." Feng Bujue also continued, "We have never encountered a soldier running from behind, and the last enemy we killed was a repeating gunner. That guy is far away from here , and there is a trap formed by flamethrowers on the way, even if he is allowed to run, he may not be able to run over... In other words, in reality, this place does not have the conditions to trigger the so-called 'underwater eight levels'."
While the two were talking, the conveyor belt under their feet brought them to the bottom of the pass.
At this moment, the door of a metal warehouse ahead was slowly rolled up, and heavy footsteps came from the darkness behind the door.
Just when everyone thought that they were about to see the robot OSS at the bottom of the sixth level, something happened...
However, what came into the light source was not a robot warrior with a height of four or five meters, but... an unknown object with a very strange shape.
Its appearance looks like a group of pixel graphics that have been distorted by UG: its lower body is two yellow legs that look like kestrel soldiers; Even more exaggerated than the human body.
"HO~ so..." Feng Bujue knew what to do as soon as he saw that guy, he immediately turned around and shouted at the three people behind him, "Everyone... come with me!" (.)
