Chapter 32 - Chapter 32: The rich play with technology, the poor play with mutation

Hualalalal——

The blades rolled up the air flow, and the helicopter flying at an ultra low altitude rose and fell unsteadily. The cabin was silent and filled with the smell of tobacco and sweat.

Fully armed soldiers were checking their equipment, and occasional coughing could be heard.

Ryan sat by the cabin door, having a strange illusion. He was working as a slave in the laboratory yesterday, and today he was rushing to the front line in a helicopter. Fortunately, he was used to changing identities, so he just lowered his head and looked at himself silently.

Ryan changed into a black combat suit, equipped with a full set of MKII combat exoskeleton. He didn't have to wear a white coat to show off in front of people, as that would make him look extremely stupid.

In other words, he felt that the equipment was not strong enough. As a powered exoskeleton, its coverage area was not large, and it could not wrap the wearer as tightly as a mecha.

"In addition to the alloy breastplate, the main function is to allow soldiers to exert greater strength and endurance. The full power output of the hydrogen lithium battery can burst out more than ten times the strength of an ordinary person. The circulation assists the joints and allows people to run hundreds of kilometers in one breath."

Ryan stroked the black metal. This thing had its own advantages and disadvantages compared to the mecha. The advantage was that it was flexible and could directly improve the carrier of "human beings".

High concentrations of stimulants can eliminate all pain and even suppress fear, and this helmet is also very interesting.

He pressed a button on the black fully enclosed helmet, and many numbers suddenly jumped out on the tactical eyepiece, including night vision, thermal imaging, assisted aiming, and even the remaining bullets in the gun and a tactical map. It was no different from the UI in a shooting game.

With the help of these things, coupled with an electromagnetic rifle with an initial velocity of 3000 meters per second, and alloy weapons, it is no wonder that the Fire Moth can secretly deal with so many Honkai attacks, and it even reminds Ryan of an old saying.

The rich play with technology, the poor play with mutation.

"If Mobius and his team hadn't created the Fusion Warrior, the technology tree of this world would have gone deeper in this direction, and finally become Gundam Battle End?"

Ryan couldn't help but grin, and his "country bumpkin" look made Himiko next to him cough lightly.

"Dr. Ryan, is this your first time using a combat exoskeleton?"

"Just call me by my name. There is no such thing as a doctor on the battlefield." Ryan turned his head and saw the opponent's life and heartbeat on the tactical eyepiece. He was even prohibited from using weapons. "I used an experimental type a few years ago. To be honest, it was useless."

He remembered that the one who developed this thing was the Fire Moth Second Research Institute, and the funding came from the Pure Blood Faction. They advocated the use of technological advancement to fight against the Honkai, and rejected any research that could be "assimilated" by the Honkai.

"Technology is always developing rapidly, just like wrestling with Honkai, to see who develops faster." Himiko laughed dryly, took a puff of cigarette, and tapped her arm armor: "Unfortunately, compared to those monsters, our scientists still have to work harder. After all, this thing depends on who uses it."

The human body is too fragile, and ordinary physical modification has reached its limit. Just like this exoskeleton armor, few people can exert its full power.

With his reaction times too slow, his muscles torn, and his will shaken, the Fire Moth has made drone mechas a priority.

"Yes, leaving aside the soul and the brain, this body made up of bones and muscles is indeed fragile, but Major, have you ever thought about it--" Ryan suddenly dragged out his tone and showed the same smile as Mobius, "Why can't we become monsters?"

The wind rushed into the cabin, and everyone felt that the temperature suddenly dropped a lot. Himiko was dumbfounded and it took her a long time to put on her helmet.

"We are about to reach the combat zone. Everyone, get ready."

No one paid any attention to Ryan, which made him feel the same rejection as Mobius, but he did not make any sarcastic remarks and was more able to understand these people's feelings.

People are always very stubborn and think that everything is under their control. Unless they are given a strong push, they will never know how to move forward.

While he was thinking, the light on the hatch turned green and the helicopter began to hover. Ryan looked outside and saw a quiet town below. The streets were filled with corpses and several burning police cars.

This place has been eroded by Honkai, and the tactical UI is flashing red, warning that if you enter this place without protective equipment, there is a high possibility of being eroded by Honkai.

"There are dead soldiers and Honkai beasts everywhere. This town is hopeless."

He saw human bodies flashing in the shadows, and could hear the rumbling footsteps of Honkai beasts. Soon, he saw a chariot the size of a three story building appear, and then the accompanying armed helicopters rushed over to meet it.

whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

The two meter long missile left a pale trail and exploded in the distance with a whistling sound. A fireball rose, buildings Honkaid, and thick smoke billowed from several houses.

Da da da...

The sound of machine guns made people's ears buzz. The Honkai beasts that were knocked to the ground instantly turned into sieves. Then a white shadow jumped out and flew across the sky quickly.

The armed helicopters dived to dodge, one of them was too slow and was blown up in mid-air, the others increased their speed and flew close to the ground. Ryan clearly saw those advancing ones chasing them closely.

Biological missiles, eh? These little gadgets are pretty fast, but the Fire Moth tactics haven't improved much.

"Alright, we've come out of the landing site. Be careful of those hidden Honkai beasts and death warriors."

Himiko yawned and stepped on the cigarette butt.

"Group A takes the commanding heights, Group B provides firepower cover, Group C follows me to parachute, quick, quick, quick!"

After saying that, she was the first to jump out of the hatch. As a special countermeasures force, they didn't need to rappel at all. Ryan was the second to jump out. He saw the ground expand in his field of vision, and then fell to the ground with a "boom".

The exoskeleton shock absorption system was activated, and he didn't even feel the obvious sense of landing. He thought this thing was really useful. Then he raised his head, and diamond shaped icons appeared in his field of vision.

The landing startled the assassins, and just like in the Resident Evil, hundreds of them poured out from buildings, alleys and even sewers.

Ryan just stood there quietly, without even drawing his weapon, listening to the continuous thuds of things falling to the ground, followed by the sharp "chi chi chi" sounds like a nail gun.

The crowd before them was mowed down like wheat, broken limbs and arms flew all over the sky, and bullets with extremely strong penetrating power made the walls like sieves. No matter what kind of assassins they were, they could not break through this storm of metal.

In a massacre, as long as the dead soldiers overcome the mentality of killing their own kind, they will not even be qualified to be cannon fodder.

Ryan looked up and saw Kevin logo appear in the UI. The young man was shooting with a rifle, accurately shooting a father and daughter in the head.

"It seems I don't need to give him psychological counseling." Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Kevin must have been very sad when he fired the gun for the first time, but he became numb after killing so many people. In this pre-Era, the Virgin Mary could not survive.

There was a constant sound of gunfire, and the machine guns in the air also joined the chorus. Ryan stood there like a spectator. He knew that if Honkai was only this capable, there would be no need to establish the Fire Moth.

Here it comes.

The ground shook slightly, and then the sound became louder and louder, as if a train was coming underground. Ryan grasped the alloy spear behind him. At the same time, Himiko next to him also put away her gun and drew her sword.

"Maintain the line and retreat, Group A, aim at our feet!"

No one hesitated, and the moment the gunfire stopped, the concrete floor suddenly bulged upwards.

boom--

A giant chariot nearly ten meters high came out, stirring up a large amount of dust and broken bricks. God knows how such a huge creature can move underground.

Several soldiers were pushed into the sky, and the jet packs allowed them to glide briefly. Countless bullets hit the Honkai beasts, causing sparks to fly, and dozens of "knights" rushed out of the cave.

Da da da...

The firepower suddenly reached its extreme intensity, and dozens of Honkai beasts were knocked to the ground. However, the lances in their hands also pierced several soldiers. The stimulants began to take effect, and the soldiers on the lances pulled the triggers like crazy, shooting the monsters into sieves again.

There were bullets everywhere and flames all around, but Ryan, who was retreating at the end, stopped, looked at the two knights rushing towards him, and held the gun with his backhand.

Clap, spin, and pick!

The action was done in one go, faster than the stabbing spear. The Honkai beast on the left was knocked away, knocking down its companions behind it, while the one on the right was lifted into the sky, spinning like a ball.

Ryan looked straight ahead, watching the dense swarm of "mosquitoes" rushing towards him, and did not even think about dodging. He thrust his spear upwards, just piercing through the falling Honkai beast.

So, let's have a dance.

The Honkai energy roared, wrapping him in light, and then he began to spin like a top.

Boom boom boom.

There were continuous muffled sounds. The smaller Advance level Honkai Beasts could not withstand this force at all. Whenever they were touched, they flew everywhere like baseballs, smashing through the walls and the ground.

The sound and light suppressed the sound of gunfire, causing the soldiers who were fighting and retreating to look sideways.

They couldn't see clearly, they only saw a red vortex moving forward along the road, forming a wall in front of them, and the flying Honkai beasts were everywhere.

"The combat exoskeleton also depends on who uses it. This guy is simply more powerful than a tiger with wings." Himiko remembered what she said before and replaced the magazine of the smoking rifle: "Fire and kill, don't let the Honkai beast get up again!"

Iron rain poured down from everywhere, and some of the flying Honkai beasts were shot dead before they even hit the ground.

At this moment, the giant chariot that was blocking the street took a step forward. Although the movement seemed slow, this step was dozens of meters away. Then it raised its fist high and smashed it into the red vortex in front.

Boom!

The whole town shook, some houses collapse instantly, and a canyon spread forward.

Himiko covered her face and turned her head, thinking that this punch could even flatten a battleship, so that bastard should finally retreat.

Swoosh——

Just as he finished thinking, he saw a figure rushing out of the dust. He shook his spear, turning the corpse into pieces, and rushed forward by stepping on the right arm of the charioteer. His speed was so fast that even the friendly army mark could not keep up.

Ryan legs had left afterimages. With this combat exoskeleton, he was a few points faster than usual. He was like climbing a slope. He turned his head to look at the other hand sweeping towards him like brushing off dust.

The movements were slow, but like covering the sky and the earth, the hard shell was covered with sparks, and the fire moths were desperately trying to cover themselves.

"Kevin, this guy, must have pulled sparks out of the trigger, actually--" Ryan held his breath, suddenly stopped, and then jumped up just as the 'giant pillar' swept over.

As the Honkai energy gathered, the two-meter gun barrel seemed to have expanded many times. Ryan stepped on the diamond-shaped light body that suddenly appeared, and it was as if he was stepping on the ground, and the whole person accelerated suddenly.

Extremely powerful. Yaksha explores the sea!

In the eyes of others, it was like a meteor that suddenly appeared and disappeared. The gun and the man were gone, only the head and most of the chest of the Honkai beast were gone, and its huge body slowly fell backwards.

Ah this...

Kevin hand that was changing the magazine suddenly stopped. He only saw the man standing in the middle of the road, his exoskeleton emitting white smoke due to overload, and behind him was a huge fallen corpse.

Ryan glanced at the spear that was melted by the Honkai energy, listened to the heavy sound of the ground behind him, and then clapped his hands lightly.

"No need to go through so much trouble."
