Lin Yuan studied for a long time, carefully observing the patrol routes of the three F1-level Mechanical Warriors. He eventually discovered that they patrolled around what seemed to be the Iron Giant Wheel, making a complete circuit every thirty minutes. There were only three such mechanical patrol teams.
In other words, a mechanical patrol team would pass by every ten minutes.
This detailed collection of information made Lin Yuan unable to resist the temptation to take risks. Although he was currently alone, he still held some advantages.
First, he had already advanced to F-Level, doubling his Health Points, which enhanced his resistance to attacks. Secondly, his Movement Speed had reached one kilometer per hour, while the two F1-level knife-and-shield Mechanical Warriors only moved at eight kilometers per hour. This was a clear advantage, especially since they were Melee-Type Mechanical Warriors.
Lastly, Lin Yuan was currently hidden in the shadows. As long as he could take out the Remote Mechanical Warrior first, he could then use a kiting strategy to gradually eliminate the remaining foes.
Of course, there were risks involved. If he launched an attack, the mechanical team might immediately sound an alarm or call for aerial support, and that would spell disaster for him.
However, one must venture into the tiger's den to catch the tiger cub. If Lin Yuan did not take this risk, he feared he would never grow stronger or uncover the truth about the world he was in.
After making his decision, Lin Yuan began to formulate a detailed attack plan.
He first pinpointed the patrol patterns of the three Mechanical Warrior Patrol Teams based on over ten hours of careful observation. Then he chose the most suitable gap and cautiously moved to a concealed position, patiently waiting for his prey to appear.
A minute later, one of the Mechanical Warrior Patrol Teams appeared precisely 115 meters away from Lin Yuan's Auditory Radar coverage range, a result of his accurate calculations.
Lin Yuan immediately stepped out from his hiding spot and locked onto the F1-level remote reconnaissance Mechanical Warrior. This lock-on was actually beyond his Auditory Radar's Precision Coverage Range; however, he had already calculated reference points around him. Coupled with the fact that these Mechanical Warriors followed an unchanging patrol route, he was able to launch his attack fifteen meters ahead of time. At this moment, the remote reconnaissance Mechanical Warrior had yet to detect Lin Yuan's presence!
This was also Lin Yuan's first time activating his F-Class Standard Laser Gun. The entire process did not require pulling a trigger; he simply raised his Mechanical Arms and linked his Auditory Radar with it in his Intellect. Subsequently, the Laser Gun automatically entered charging mode. Unfortunately, this Laser Gun seemed like an outdated model from some bygone era; it required three seconds to charge and one second to fire, with a cooldown period of six seconds. Thus, it took a full ten seconds to complete one attack.
At this moment, Lin Yuan had already charged the Laser Gun and, after locking onto his target, he heard a soft 'whoosh' as a red beam of light flashed and struck the F1-class long-range reconnaissance Mechanical Warrior, dealing one point of damage.
After the attack, Lin Yuan quickly retreated, waiting for the outcome. If the three Mechanical Warriors triggered an alarm, he would simply escape without hesitation.
However, Lin Yuan's concerns did not materialize. Perhaps this base had truly been forgotten; the Mechanical Warriors had no reinforcements. After pausing for a second, they roughly locked onto Lin Yuan's position based on the trajectory of the attack and began to charge forward, completely ignoring any alarms.
This allowed Lin Yuan to relax while swiftly preparing for his next attack. Nine seconds later, the Laser Gun cooled down and re-entered attack mode.
Meanwhile, the two sword-and-shield Mechanical Warriors had already charged forward twenty meters, now just ninety-five meters away from Lin Yuan. Yet they still failed to pinpoint his exact location; even if they had, it wouldn't have mattered since they were melee attackers.
Similarly, the long-range reconnaissance Mechanical Spider could only move five kilometers per hour, which meant it covered about thirteen meters in nine seconds and barely managed to lock onto Lin Yuan.
At this moment, Lin Yuan's Laser Gun was ready to attack again. He aimed at the gaping mouth of the Mechanical Spider, knowing that this was definitely a critical spot.
As expected, a red beam flashed by, and Lin Yuan's attack dealt fatal damage to the Mechanical Spider, reducing its Health Points by one. Although it didn't die, it was no longer capable of continuing ranged attacks.
With this success, Lin Yuan felt reassured. While waiting for the Laser Gun to cool down again, he revealed himself and slowly retreated to lure the two sword-and-shield Melee-Type Mechanical Warriors into pursuit. Once his Laser Gun was ready again, he would fire at them.
The entire process was surprisingly simple. If nothing unexpected happened, he could eliminate these two Mechanical Warriors using kite tactics within an hour.
However, Lin Yuan soon realized that things were far from simple. The defenses of the two Mechanical Warriors were very high, and they could release a Block skill every three seconds. This meant that when Lin Yuan's Laser Gun hit them, it only dealt minimal damage. Even if he managed to kill one of them, he might not be able to end the battle unless he could shorten his Laser Gun's attack frequency to three seconds—which was impossible.
More critically, Lin Yuan currently had only ten points of energy. Even though the Laser Gun consumed very little energy per shot, he couldn't guarantee that he would have enough energy to eliminate both sword-and-shield Mechanical Warriors before running out.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan decided to tackle the problem using both close combat and ranged attacks. As long as he could find a way to avoid the Block skill of the Mechanical Warrior with the blade shield, he would be able to deal significant damage. However, the prerequisite was to separate the two warriors.
After some calculations, Lin Yuan lured the two Mechanical Warriors to a ruin two hundred meters away and began to circle around.
As expected, the two Blade Shield Warriors immediately changed their pursuit tactics. One followed closely behind while the other maneuvered at a forty-five-degree angle to intercept from another direction.
Lin Yuan also slowed his speed, maintaining the charge state of his Laser Gun while calculating the distance between them. After several laps, the gap between the two Blade Shield Warriors had widened to a full fifty meters. One was thirty meters away from Lin Yuan, and the other was twenty meters away.
At this moment, Lin Yuan surged forward at full speed, charging towards the Blade Shield Warrior that was twenty meters away!
