Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 428 Metal Monster

The woman's blood gradually drained away, but the monster was still not satisfied.

It placed the corpse in its hand, which no longer struggled or screamed, at the same level as itself and looked at it for a long time. Then, it stretched out its other hand with the same sharp and ferocious claws and gently touched the woman's face.

Where its fingers caressed the woman's skin, a thin line of blood was cut, and the monster's fingers gradually pierced into her skin during the caressing process. Finally, it peeled off the woman's entire skin.

After getting the face, the metal skeleton threw the woman's body away like garbage, then raised the bloody object in its hand high up, laughing crazily and intoxicatedly, as if in its eyes this was a mysterious and precious treasure.

Liu Peng, who was hiding nearby, felt his scalp tingle and his breathing trembled uncontrollably.

After "admiring" the face skin in his hand, the monster carefully spread out the wrinkled face skin and then put it on his own face.

After repeatedly ironing his facial skin like applying a facial mask, the skeleton turned his head and looked in the direction of Liu Peng.

not good!

Liu Peng screamed in his heart, and the metal skeleton, after locking onto Liu Peng, screamed and pounced towards him.

Liu Peng was unable to react in time and was about to suffer the same fate as the woman. But just as the monster was about to pierce Liu Peng, it suddenly bounced back, as if an invisible but solid wall had appeared in front of Liu Peng.

Liu Peng's friend's eyes brightened again, but the light in them was like a light bulb with poor contact. It flickered a few times and then went out, and the monster slowly crawled up from the ground.

Although he almost got sent, Liu Peng did not lose face after he reacted. He did not wet his pants nor did his legs go weak. The large amount of adrenaline secreted made his instant burst far exceed his usual limit.

After being completely exposed, Liu Peng opened the car door with his left hand and lifted up his weak friend with his right hand. Then he threw the rough man weighing over 100 pounds to the passenger seat with his bare hands, and then he got in and sat in the main seat.

Liu Peng started the engine, shifted gears, and reversed in one go, quickly creating distance between him and the monster.

But Liu Peng did not want to escape. After keeping some distance, he stepped on the accelerator hard and shifted to the highest gear in a very short time.

There was a strong push from the seat, and the engine of this expensive car roared and rushed towards the monster, which had just stood up from the ground and looked a little confused, and crushed it under its tires.

There was a harsh friction sound from under the car. Liu Peng drove the car, pushing the monster over the ground for about a hundred meters. Then the car shook and ran over the monster as if it was crossing a speed bump.

Through the rearview mirror, Liu Peng saw that the tires of the car had rubbed out two long marks on the ground, and the monster had rolled on the ground several times before stopping after being run over by them.

But Liu Peng did not see any obvious injuries on the monster's body.

Liu Peng's blood boiled, he shifted into reverse gear and backed up again.

When people encounter danger, the brain will secrete a large amount of adrenaline, forcing the consciousness to make a "fight or flight" choice. Obviously, Liu Peng chose to fight.

In fact, he did not do this entirely out of instinct. Under normal circumstances, Liu Peng would have driven away, but this time their ultimate goal was to shut down that strange black stone tower, and this thing seemed to be the boss guarding the main line, so they had to solve it before they could continue the mission.

And according to the plots of some similar movies he had watched, the supporting characters would usually run away at this time, and then be caught up and killed by this thing. The protagonist would usually fight hard first, and then run away when he couldn't win.

But after being crushed several times, Liu Peng had the idea of "running away first".

Because he found that no matter how many times he hit the monster, or how long he dragged it under his tires, the monster would eventually stand up, intact.

The monster was in a very bad condition when it appeared. Its body was rusted and deformed, its joints were clogged with blood and oil, and it seemed so fragile that it could fall apart at any time.

But when Liu Peng really encountered it, he found that this thing was extremely hard. The flat road was ground into pieces, but not even the paint on the monster's body was worn off.

Although the two sides seemed to maintain a certain balance amidst the repeated struggles, this was not what Liu Peng was happy to see. First, they were being held back. Second, with each repetition, the car, though durable, was rapidly deteriorating. If they didn't find a way to break the deadlock, they would ultimately be killed by this monster after their car was scrapped.

"What the hell is this thing made of? Is it made of alien materials?" Liu Peng couldn't help but curse: "If you have these materials, can't you make something better than this crappy robot?!"

But just when Liu Peng was about to lose his temper, his friend put his hand on his arm.

"Walk."

My friend's words are concise and to the point.

Liu Peng drove in reverse again and rammed the metal monster, pushing it against the rear of the car and forcing it to move backwards. He finally broke through another gate of the Losar Industrial Technology Park, then changed gears and drove away from this ruined place at the highest speed.

Through the rearview mirror, Liu Peng saw that the monster, who knew not how many times he had hit, stood up again and ran towards Liu Peng and his friend who were fleeing.

"hehe!"

But the moment the monster started running, Liu Peng laughed out loud.

Because in his imagination, what follows will be a thrilling and dangerous road chase, which will be the ultimate test of his driving skills.

But when the monster really started running, Liu Peng discovered that its speed was extremely slow.

Of course, this so-called extremely slow speed is about 60 to 80 miles per hour, which is far faster than the average human, but it is still not enough in front of a car.

This is why Liu Peng complained and cursed just now:

Wouldn't it be better to make something better than this crappy humanoid robot with this alien material?

Through the rearview mirror, Liu Peng watched the monster chasing the car. Its legs swung so hard that sparks flew from its joints, and it jumped several feet high. However, it couldn't even catch up with a mid-range car. In an instant, Liu Peng felt that this thing was not as scary as before.

No matter how good you are at materials science, you still have to abide by basic mechanics. This monster's legs are so thin and long, and there is only one joint at the end of the limbs. Even with auxiliary bionic muscles, the torque and resistance will be to the sky.

The biggest disadvantage of running on two legs is that when the two legs move, they go through a process of acceleration, deceleration, and then acceleration again, which greatly limits the speed. Naturally evolved carbon-based organisms use this walking mode because their joints cannot evolve into the shape of gears, not because this is the best way to move.

This is also why almost no one on Terra builds humanoid war machines. Imagine building a giant humanoid combat robot. The driver's cab wouldn't be exposed; it would need to be armored for safety. Also, the joints in human legs are complex and prone to breakage, and their flexibility is limited. So, what about tracks and jetpacks? Finally, the center of gravity is too high. It should be lowered, otherwise it would collapse after just a few steps due to the strong wind resistance.

After such a modification, congratulations, you have a tank.

Just like that, the originally imagined intense and exciting chase turned into a leisurely dog walk.
