Ling Cage: Enhanced Nanosteel Suit at the Start

Page 33

Wherever the ion cutting blade passes, the air is ionized, emitting a sharp buzzing sound.

The snake-dog that pounced on them, with its tough claws and teeth and its sturdy body, was as fragile as paper in the face of the extreme heat and energy cutting.

Each flash of the blade was accompanied by the separation of limbs and the breakage of the torso.

Dark purple blood gushed out like a fountain, and the cut surfaces instantly carbonized and turned black. The air was filled with a nauseating stench of burnt protein and blood.

In just a few seconds, a ring of snake and dog remains piled up around Chen Yuan, forming a bloody barrier of death.

The survival points are jumping and climbing wildly.

This horrific scene did not deter the Devouring Beast.

Behind them, the earth roars that had been dispersed by flames and explosions regrouped.

Dozens of earth roars simultaneously contracted their abdomens, rapidly gathering energy. Their muscles bulged, and energy surged and compressed wildly within their bodies.

After compressing the energy, the momentum rises to its peak, and powerful energy is quickly released from the mouth.

Instantly, streaks of red energy swept rapidly toward Chen Yuan.

This wave of attacks was more intense than before, covered a wide area, and was so fast that it almost blocked all possible evasion paths for Chen Yuan.

With no way to avoid it, Chen Yuan simply put away his electromagnetic laser sword and neither dodged nor avoided it.

"Activate the protective devices..."

A visible blue energy barrier, resembling flowing river water, instantly unfolded around the nanosuit.

The energy shield acted like a solid barrier; the red energy projectiles that struck the shield could not harm Chen Yuan despite the resulting explosions.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate!"

The device on Chen Yuan's back activated, and the back-scattering pulse cannon deployed instantly.

The pulse cannon emits a special pulse energy wave that spreads through the air and then randomly selects multiple targets for focused attack.

Like cannonballs on both sides, pulse energy waves blasted towards the Earth Roars. Many Earth Roars were hit by the pulse energy waves, their bodies were blown to pieces, and limbs and fragments flew everywhere, instantly clearing out an area.

"Wuhu!"

With hot-melt piercing nails popping out from under his feet, Chen Yuan was extremely excited and moved at high speed towards the severely injured Devouring Beasts.

The heat-fused puncture nail is made of a special high-temperature resistant material, and the internal micro-heating device causes the temperature of the puncture nail to rise rapidly.

Chen Yuan stomped down, and the sharp nail tip easily pierced the relatively fragile spine of the snake-dog beneath his feet.

The high temperature burst forth instantly, like lava pouring into the flesh and blood vessels. The dark purple blood and bodily fluids turned into billowing white smoke the moment they came into contact with the nail tip.

The molten piercing nails pierce the bodies of the Devouring Beasts, causing not only penetrating wounds but also burning their internal organs due to their high temperature.

Scattered earth roars were gathering energy, the snake-dog's scarlet eyes gleamed in the dust, the thorn eel slithered along the ground like a venomous snake, and the heavy footsteps of the flower-calyx beast shook the ground. Facing more and more Devouring Beasts, Chen Yuan casually took off the energy noose from his collar.

"Horse-lassoing man, you are mighty and strong..."

Humming a familiar tune, Chen Yuan vigorously shook the energy noose in his hand and swung it out, the energy noose precisely ensnaring a flower-calyx beast.

Then, the flight thrusters beneath his feet output maximum power, and the powerful thrust caused the mech to spin rapidly with the Calyx Beast.

"The magic of love... goes round and round!"

Chen Yuan used both hands to swing the Flower Calyx Beast like a meteor hammer, and as it spun around, its massive body smashed down a large number of other Devouring Beasts.

At the moment he finally let go, Chen Yuan's eyes glowed red, releasing quantum pulse rays.

Quantum pulse rays are based on the principles of quantum mechanics and have strong penetrating power.

The ray instantly pierced through ordinary matter, struck the Calyx Beast, and directly destroyed its spirit particle core.

Unable to even utter a scream, the beast's body began to twist and disintegrate under the attack of the rays, eventually being completely destroyed.

On the wasteland, the fierce battle had reached a fever pitch, and Chen Yuan's nanosteel suit was losing energy at an alarming rate.

The damage to the nanosteel suit is being repaired and reassembled by the stored tiny nanoparticles, which act like industrious worker ants. However, the repair speed is clearly not keeping up with the consumption, and the overall nanosuit has become noticeably duller.

This situation is clearly unsuitable for continuing the fight.

Chapter 43 The Target Lighthouse

"Warning: The core energy reserves are at 11.8%... continuing to decline. The core reactor power is decaying, the thruster efficiency is reduced by 35%, and some modules of the weapon system have entered energy-saving mode."

"Mr. Chen, current environmental threat level: high. It is strongly recommended that you immediately disengage from combat and return to Ark Nine survival base for maintenance and recharging. Repeat, return immediately."

The synthesized voice of the super-intelligent optical brain Loongson machine instantly pulled Chen Yuan out of his almost out-of-control state of excitement.

"Tch, I have to go back again," Chen Yuan muttered.

"They've attracted too many; we can't kill them all, we simply can't kill them all."

Individual strength is ultimately limited. Even with the support of future technology, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in this wasteland completely eroded by the Mana ecosystem, which has given birth to an endless number of Devouring Beasts.

Continuing to fight will only deplete your last bit of energy, ultimately turning you into pieces of meat to be torn apart by the beasts.

Reason and the instinct for survival overwhelmed his boiling fighting spirit, leaving Chen Yuan with no choice but to cease combat.

Chen Yuan glanced one last time at the crimson eyes that lingered on the edge of the ruins, ready to pounce, and said in a deep voice, "Longxin, help me plan the optimal return route."

"Path planning complete. Mr. Chen, please fly according to the route trajectory..."

The plasma thrusters under his feet and the thruster nozzles on his back instantly turned from dark to bright, bursting out with a much dimmer but still blazing blue-white flame.

The powerful thrust shoved the nanosteel mech off the ground covered in sticky blood and debris, kicking up a cloud of filthy dust mixed with sand and bone fragments.

The nano-steel mech quickly took off, then suddenly veered in mid-air, transforming into a shooting star with a pale blue trail as it flew towards a direction obscured by sandstorms on the horizon.

This direction leads to Chen Yuan's only refuge... Ark No. 9 Survival Base (Medium).

……

Inside the mech, only the low hum of the thrusters and the whooshing sound of air rubbing against the outer armor remained.

Counting the time, Chen Yuan has been living alone in the wasteland world for more than a year. Since obtaining the future technology assistance system, he has embarked on a path of survival.

From the moment he received the newbie survival gift pack until now, Chen Yuan has spent 160,000 survival points to upgrade his nano-steel suit to the Loongson 7, and the number of Iron Guards has increased from the initial two to twelve. In total, he has spent more than one million survival points.

The Loongson 7 chip cost 16 survival points. It not only increased the upper limit of the energy core and energy reserves, but also added several weapons and a self-destruct function.

Wrist Ion Cutting Blade: Cutting blades composed of high-energy ion beams can be ejected from both sides of the wrist. The ion beams are constrained and accelerated by a special magnetic field, forming a shape like a real blade with extremely high cutting ability. In close combat, they can easily cut through objects of various materials.

Back-mounted wing-fired pulse cannons: A row of small scattering pulse cannons are mounted on the back, normally hidden in the armor, and deployed during combat.

It emits special pulse energy waves that spread through the air and then randomly select multiple targets for focused attack, proving effective against multiple dispersed or clustered targets.

Ear-mounted sound wave jammer: The nano-steel suit is also equipped with sound wave jammers in the ear area, which can emit high-intensity sound waves of different frequencies.

It can attack the enemy's auditory system, causing tinnitus, dizziness, or even permanent hearing damage, and can also disrupt the signal transmission of enemy electronic equipment.

Collar Energy Noose: The collar of the nanosteel suit conceals an energy noose device. During combat, it can release a noose composed of high-density energy. The noose is highly resilient and sticky, tightening after entangling the enemy and releasing energy to burn and electrocute them.

Quantum Pulse Rays for Eyes: This suit features a quantum pulse ray emitter in the eye area of ​​the helmet. Based on the principles of quantum mechanics, the ray can penetrate conventional matter to attack enemies behind cover and can also interfere with enemy quantum-encrypted communications and energy shield systems.

Self-destruct device: Considering that in order to prevent the suit from falling into enemy hands, when solar energy is exhausted and other energy reserves are insufficient to support the suit's continued operation, Chen Yuan will activate the self-destruct device when he is not wearing the suit.

The self-destruct device concentrates the remaining energy of the suit, triggering a violent explosion with the power of a small missile, capable of causing massive damage to targets within a certain range, thus ensuring that the suit's technology and secrets are not leaked.

Shockproof device: The Loongson 7 nano-steel mecha suit is equipped with shockproof and anti-vibration devices that can isolate the roars of large beasts and the transmission of sound waves, and actively reduce noise.

Even the roar of a king-level Devouring Beast entering the helmet was only heard as a distant wind thanks to the shock-absorbing treatment on the surface of the battle suit.

At the same time, the suit can convert some of the kinetic energy impact into harmless heat or guide it to the ground, protecting the wearer from shock damage.

This suit also has an additional flight thruster on the back, which can break through 5 times the speed of sound when flying at full speed, but Chen Yuan's eyes can't keep up.

I remember when Chen Yuan first arrived in the wasteland world, he obtained the Hummingbird Electromagnetic Laser Gun by opening the newbie gift pack. Only then did he continuously hunt down Devouring Beasts, gradually accumulating points and resources, and eventually grow to where he is today.

这时，系统的声音响起：“本次战斗数据结算：成功猎杀蛇狗97头（29100），地吼47头（23500），刺鳗35头（10500），花萼兽26头（20880），脊骨100+（7120）……当前可用生存积分总额：91100点。”

Upon hearing this news, Chen Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

Earning survival points made him feel more secure.

At the No. 9 Ark Survival Base, Chen Yuan spent this long and lonely time alone.

The long period of time meant that every day was spent fighting for him.

The prolonged mental strain and solitary struggle gradually made him somewhat abnormal.

Chen Yuan felt that he might be becoming somewhat abnormal.

So, it's time to reach out to some survivors.

……

Ark No. 9 Survival Base, Core Living Area.

Back at base, remove the combat suit.

After taking a hot shower, Chen Yuan went straight to sleep.

Before going to sleep, Chen Yuan had the super-intelligent computer Loongson set the alarm clock so he would wake up on time.

Nine hours later, the alarm clock rang.

"call……"

Chen Yuan yawned and groggily opened his eyes.

"Good morning, Mr. Chen. The Loongson 7 nano-steel suit is fully charged. Energy core at 200%, nano-reserves at 200%, weapon self-check shows no abnormalities..."

"Okay, let's go!"

After a quick wash, Chen Yuan got up, walked to the center of the room, and summoned his nano-steel suit.

Instantly, countless tiny nanoparticles converged from all directions, like flowing silver liquid, rapidly covering his entire body.

The Loongson 7 nano-steel suit fits Chen Yuan's body curves perfectly, with every detail fitting seamlessly, as if it were one with him.

Once ready, Chen Yuan flew to the open area above the base, and then the propulsion devices under his feet and on his back spewed out blazing blue-white flames, propelling him toward the location of the Dragon Core Marker Lighthouse.

"Lighthouse, I'm here! Prepare to tremble!!"

Chapter 44 Taking Control

Before long, Chen Yuan's figure arrived at the lighthouse's pyre, appearing suspended above the open-air plaza.
