Chapter 623: I will absolutely not tell you! Ah ah ah ah ah ah.jpg
I wonder if anyone, like Cheng Tian, used to, or even now when playing the current "Modern General Electrocuted.jpg" scene, would deliberately delay advancing the plot for a while, just to quietly enjoy him being repeatedly electrocuted and screaming.
For players who don't understand the true background of Metal Slug, General Morden is undoubtedly the biggest villain leader, and the act of watching the villain leader suffer is definitely not uncommon.
But then again, even after knowing the true reasons behind the formation of Morden's Army, and knowing that the Government Army isn't exactly good either, it doesn't mean that Morden's Army is some righteous force. The despicable acts he orchestrated, such as using civilian little girls as targets for doll bombs, etc., the blame absolutely rests with General Morden.
One can only say that civilians in the Metal Slug world are truly struggling.
So Cheng Tian continued his habit from the game, quietly watching the General being electrocuted, allowing the Morden Army soldiers behind him to swarm forward, surrounding the electrocuted commander with panicked expressions, yet not knowing what to do.
Cheng Tian clearly didn't intend to tell them directly that simply destroying the console-like device next to it would theoretically release General Morden. He was more concerned about why the defensive forces here were so weak.
Could it be that the Martian faction has no players, and is purely an NPC group?
Cheng Tian still hadn't completely ruled out the possibility of players in the Martian faction, even though there were still no signs of players present.
Regarding the commander's safety, Sergeant Allen, the bald man, didn't dare to touch the surrounding equipment casually. In the end, it was Ma Ergou of the Peregrine Falcon Squad, who had also completed the infiltration, who personally stepped forward and, after a dazzling series of operations on a nearby control panel, successfully released the commander from the electrocution play.
Counter-intuitively, among the original Peregrine Falcon and Sparrow Squad members, Marco, who seemed the most absurd and often played pranks, was actually the true computer expert, and the team's computer skills also varied.
This was precisely demonstrated at the very end of Metal Slug 3.
In a segment that required a computer to open a hatch, if the game automatically assigned Marco, he would very skillfully and smoothly input commands to open the hatch; if it was the bespectacled girl Fio, she could also successfully input the commands, but she would make a wiping-sweat gesture, indicating that her input was extremely precise and strenuous, far from Marco's effortless ease.
But if Tama and Eri from the team were responsible for this segment, they would kick the control panel in frustration after failing to input the commands, eventually opening the hatch.
General Morden, electrocuted to the point of almost ascending, trembled on all fours like a newborn fawn, yet at the same time, he mustered a surge of strength, struggling to lift his head and point his equally uncontrollably trembling finger towards a side hatch.
"Kill it! You must kill it!"
The commander, whose physical fitness was even better than imagined, roared with all his might, then his entire body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, his butt twitching, clearly still with residual electrical charges flowing through him.
Based on his strawberry-patterned underwear, it could basically be concluded that this Morden was the real Morden, not a fake one created by cloning or mimicry.
However, from another perspective, the fact that General Morden is still alive is also based on the fact that the Martian faction never intended to actually kill him. It's likely that in their planned scheme, a living General Morden might be more valuable.
If Cheng Tian's prince's sword could only provide a slight attribute boost to these soldiers, then the return of General Morden, who could remember the names of seventy to eighty percent of his subordinate soldiers, was a mental shot in the arm for the Morden soldiers. A visible fanaticism emerged from these miscellaneous troops.
"Everyone! Come with me! Don't let any of these alien bastards who brought such humiliation to the General escape!!!"
Leaving only a small number of elite soldiers to guard the commander's safety, the bald Allen had already picked up his super-heavy cannon and charged ahead, leading the way towards the direction the commander had indicated.
And the fanatical Morden Army soldiers also picked up their weapons and followed without hesitation.
It felt as if their mission to rescue the commander was already complete, and now "killing the alien scum" had become the new goal for all the soldiers.
As for their own lives, and how to safely get the commander off the alien mothership and back to Earth... that was not something these small soldiers, who had successfully boarded via cosmic coffins, could think about.
But it was at this crucial moment that a divergence appeared within the player faction.
The Peregrine Falcon 004 Squad, led by Cheng Tian, temporarily remained in place under his personal instructions and did not immediately follow. However, other players who were more obsessed with fighting bosses, after a brief hesitation here, chose to follow the main NPC army.
Players in the Morden Army faction indeed had no choice in the mission to rescue the commander, and did not possess the fanatical "loyalty!" mentality of the soldiers. So, when General Morden issued his final instructions before completely losing consciousness, their main quest also changed from "Rescue General Morden" to "Kill the Martians and their mastermind."
On the other hand, Cheng Tian's Government Army faction did not have their main quest change due to General Morden's command; it remained "Save Private Steve."
Yes, from beginning to end, the Government Army had no responsibility or obligation to rescue General Morden, so they were, to some extent, more free.
Of course, Cheng Tian also had ideas about the Root Brother. From a skill perspective, the probability of loot dropped by the Root Brother, with his exposed brain, being highly compatible with his own attributes was extremely high. However, as Cheng Tian experienced more and his own strength grew, leading to a greater influence on dungeons, it also allowed him to see some special possibilities.
With a flash of light, Bazett and Utan, who were on standby in Heaven's Chosen Space, materialized from illusion to reality, simultaneously summoned into the electrocution room scene. Irene also understood implicitly and summoned Mina and the Saw-Crocodile Dragon.
Due to Ma Ergou's intervention, the electrocution room's control panel, which should have exploded, now remained relatively intact, which gave Cheng Tian's certain ideas room for maneuver.
It is worth noting that Utan did not appear alone; two biochemical androids, one male and one female, also appeared as servant subordinates and summoned units.
They were not only large Feng Shui Engine derivative units, but also special individuals that replicated Utan's own thought framework, personality composition, and knowledge reserves. In other words, Utan had successfully tripled himself through technological means.
After hearing Cheng Tian's idea, Utan also exchanged a brief glance with the two androids beside him, and the two biochemical Utans then stepped forward together.
They simultaneously placed their hands on the control panel, one on the left and one on the right. Their silver palms seemed to fuse with the control panel, sticking to it. Then, using it as a medium, they cautiously began to invade and explore the internal circuitry of the entire Martian mothership.
