The five power armors did not have the time to spread out before they were covered by the gravel and dust from above.
The energy of the nitrogen shield had just been exhausted. Jiang Chen threw the shield generator in his hand into the storage dimension and loaded his rifle under the cover of the diffused dust. Then, he began firing while running to the safety tunnel.
After getting rid of the cement on his body, Luo Xiaoyong got up from the ground with difficulty. He immediately ducked behind a pillar, avoiding the incoming bullets.
However, his teammate was not so lucky.
As a power armor was just starting to stand, three bullets directly hit its head, which caused it to collapse backward and smashed into a guardrail, ultimately falling downstairs.
Bullets also hit the other three power armors, but as they were not hit in critical spots, they, fortunately, escaped their demise.
“Don’t let him get away!”
Luo Xiaoyong shouted at the top of his lungs and opened fire in the direction Jiang Chen fled in as he looked at his comrades struggling to get up. Then he led the way and chased into the safety tunnel.
Jiang Chen ran to the hole made by the electromagnetic pulse cannon and jumped right out. The vortex engines behind him ignited and pushed him up by around five floors. He immediately grabbed the railing and flipped himself inside.
Just then, Yao Yao’s voice came from the communication channel.
“I found a map of the city!”
“Really?” Jiang Chen was ecstatic and immediately said, “Send it to me!”
“MHMM! Sending… Okay sent.”
“… Got it. Right, you should stay in the office and don’t run around.” After he received the map, Jiang Chen added, “I will come to you in a bit.”
Jiang Chen immediately sent the map to the other seven guards and selected a building on the map not far from his current location as a meeting point.
“Mhmm!” Yao Yao had a look of “I am very obedient” and nodded. “Right, I found some interesting things in the database of the building…”
“We can talk about this later.”
Jiang Chen kicked open the wooden door and dashed into the room next to the stairway as he originally planned.
He took out a laser sword and a high-frequency vibration particle dagger from the storage dimension and wielded them around his waist. Through the camera on the Hummingbird drones, he confirmed the remaining locations of the four power armors and took a deep breath. “Let me deal with these troubles first.”
“Need me to help?” Yao Yao asked worriedly.
“…no need, you just wait for me to get you.”
“Okay.”
Although somewhat disappointed, Yao Yao chose to listen to her big brother.
Jiang Chen turned off all the radio equipment, and even disconnected the drone hive, completely entering radio silence. He stood like a sculpture right against the wall, quietly waiting for the right opportunity.
Soon, there was a rush of footsteps not far away.
Jiang Chen gently pulled out the dagger and pressed his thumb on the switch.
The footsteps were approaching closer and clearer…
NOW!
Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
Both of his legs applied force and ignited the vortex engines. Then, the power armor directly smashed through the wall.
It was too late to respond, and the last power armor that rushed into the hallway was directly hit by Jiang Chen.
“AHHHHH!”
There was an abrupt scream as the high-frequency vibration particle dagger unimpededly cut into the armor.
The instant the throat of the militia was cut, Jiang Chen let go of the dagger in his right hand, and at the same time deployed the minigun on his arm. His left hand wrapped around the neck of the same militia as he used him as a meat shield.
Almost at the same time, the other three power armors turned around, lifted their rifles, and started shooting.
The sparks jumped in the hallway and the bullets hit the meat shield in front of Jiang Chen.
While pulling the P-series power armor in his arm and retreating, Jiang Chen raised his right arm, and a cruel sneer formed on his face.
“Go to hell!”
Dadada!
Without finishing his sentence, the fierce firepower was unleashed from the minigun barrel, instantly overshadowing the firepower of the three rifles.
The power armor closest to Jiang Chen had no time to react and was shredded into a sieve by the raging bullets.
The power armor behind almost instantly dove to the side.
However, as he was about to escape, the captain behind him grabbed him and pushed to the front.
“WHAT THE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING…!!!”
The soldier’s eyes widened in disbelief as he did not have time to ask why Luo Xiaoyong did this before his consciousness ended in the hail of bullets.
Jiang Chen was also surprised by this very scene.
The last remaining power armor, holding the corpse of his comrade, managed to withstand the barrage from the minigun.
Jiang Chen kicked away the meat shield in front of him and retracted the minigun without hesitation. Then, he pulled out the light sword from his waist.
Almost at the same time, Luo Xiaoyong threw himself in front of him. He tossed the power armor in his hands directly at Jiang Chen.
He ducked down and dodged the power armor flying toward him. Then, using his instinct, he swung his light sword.
Seeing that this sword was going to cut through the right shoulder of the power armor, the captain of the militia quickly responded. He raised his arm against the light sword swinging down and managed to hit the wrist holding the sword.
Then his other hand grabbed a dagger and stabbed forward.
DING!
The glaring sparks collided between the two!
The two daggers slammed together and bounced away half an inch in front of their chest.
Feeling the numbness in his arms, Jiang Chen was shocked.
The dagger was not cut by the particle dagger!
At this moment, any skill was futile. The only factor dictating victory was the performance of the armor.
They grabbed each other’s arms and the two wrestled together. Smashing through the walls of the hallway, they fell into the office next door.
“Don’t be too cocky! When I started driving power armors, you were still in your mother’s womb!”
Luo Xiaoyong’s eyes were a raging red color as he gnashed his teeth and yelled in ferocity.
Nineteen people!
Nineteen lives!
[His men were all killed here!
He did not want to think about anything else other than using the cruelest way to torture the man in front of him to death!
“In the womb?” Jiang Chen’s left hand clasped onto Luo Xiaoyong’s arm as he desperately tried to free the light sword he was holding in his right hand. Then while laughing, he said, “When I was in my mother’s womb, you were still a carbon atom.”
He was not joking. He was born in the 1990s. If he really went by the date on his ID, he could be his ancestor.
Luo Xiaoyong looked at him with bloodthirsty eyes, not realizing he was bantering before his inevitable death.
Gradually, the steel armor began to squeak, unable to bear the force.
The “light” weight of the T-3 power armor became a deadly weakness at this moment.
Gradually taking the upper hand, Luo Xiaoyang clamped down on Jiang Chen. His nearly lunatic expression began to show a cruel sneer.
“You can’t die too fast. I’ll slowly and slowly remove each part of you, and then leave you with one last breath before feeding you to the zombies!”
The outcome was determined.
In this most primitive melee fight, the P-series’ strong endurance and tenacity prevailed!
At least in his opinion.
“Is that so?” Jiang Chen sneered, activated the self-destruction program, and glanced at him emotionlessly. “Since you like my armor so much, then I will generously give it to you.”
Dumbfounded, Luo Xiaoyong watched as the laser sword in Jiang Chen’s right hand disappeared.
Then, like the laser sword, Jiang Chen also disappeared completely.
Of course, as the power armor’s mask is dark, Luo Xiaoyong did not see Jiang Chen’s disappearance.
Therefore, his hands continued to clasp onto the already empty power armor until the nuclear fusion battery exploded due to overload. The power armor, along with his muttered cruel words, disappeared inside the glaring white light…
