"(novel) (ebook) - Perry Rhodan 0031 - (3c) Robot Threat New York" - читать интересную книгу автора (Perry Rhodan)Now the full demonic scope of Goratschin's mysterious powers came into play.
Fully trusting the tank, it was unnecessary for him to think of escaping, which allowed total attack concentration. The combat robots burst apart. All that remained was an indefinable, glowing something or other. The counterattack by the two vehicles rolled right over them. One block farther. New enemies, more than 30 who immediately took up sustained fire. "This is too much!" Cary shouted. "Our screens can't withstand it! We must turn around at once!" "Wait a second!" Kakuta answered in just as loud a voice. Cary was commander but an officer of the Mutant Corps always remained his superior. Ominous flickers were dancing in front of the observation glass. The energy screen was being stressed to maximum capacity. Then at last the force of the attack diminished. Ivan's matter-devouring thoughts had found their way. The street had been fought free. Onward! Beads of perspiration appeared on their faces. Onward! Helicopters thundered low across the sky. At last they were back! Onward! Course: Klein's headquarters. The videophone conveyed continual calls for help from the three encircled areas. "Hold out!" was Bell's order from the government building. That was a weak consolation for the defenders. It sounded better when the impulse when the New Power state transmitter broadcast the progress observed by Wuriu Sengu. "The mutant, Ivan Goratschin, has meanwhile entered the battle. In the last 15 minutes alone he has destroyed 72 combat robots." Intersection of two main streets! Another 53 meters to Capt. Klein's guard battalion. No foe anywhere in sight. "Careful!" Kakuta said. "Robots do love open combat but we don't want to rely on that. Ever since this morning I know that they like surprises too." At that moment it happened. The four corner houses-all 12 storeys high exploded simultaneously. Concrete chunks, 1000 tons of them, whirled around, then hailed onto the intersection. The energy screens of the tanks withstood the immediate blow but even an atomic motor could no longer move them from the spot. "We are stuck! Anything can happen now!" Cary should not have said that. Apparently the robots were very well informed about the transmissions of Radio Terrania. They approached from four sides, well over 100 of them. Cary shouted into the videophone. "Immediate aircraft action at intersection Keppler Avenue-Fermi Street! Robots attacking assault troop Goratschin. Tanks stuck in concrete debris!" Ivan had to wait. His powers worked all the better the nearer he was to the object. Still Kakuta and Cary urged him on. "The robots could start at any moment. They have reached the critical distance." |
