Chapter 84: Belief

“What! How did those two Azure Dragon Armors get over here!”

Over there, the Escape Faction military formation commander who was surrounding the Research Institute heard the report of unusual activity behind him. He turned his head and saw Chen Feng’s small Azure Dragon Armor weaving left and right through the tall old-style mech formations like a god descending from heaven.

Although the Azure Dragon Armor’s volume was small, its material hardness far exceeded that of the old-style armor, and its power system was even better than the best.

Smaller, but more flexible, more agile, faster, and stronger!

This was the essential difference in performance between the Azure Dragon Armor and the old-style mechs.

But even so, while the Azure Dragon Armor wasn’t equipped with conventional weapons, the old-style armor had a chance to overwhelm quality with quantity.

The Commander knew that the Azure Dragon Armor only carried training-grade weapons during routine missions inside Earth. He had even seen through the Azure Dragon Armor pilot’s thought pattern, knowing the other party would choose to land at the stadium to avoid harming civilians.

He had laid a tight net there early. He believed that, given the abilities of those half-baked operators from the new soldier training base near Hulun City, there was no way they could escape unscathed.

Even if all the Instructors came, it would still be the same.

Then, before these Explorers left, they could capture two intact Azure Dragon Armors.

Once in space, their technical personnel could further decipher its internal core technology and enhance their own technological level.

He had thought everything was perfectly planned this time, but the current situation was completely unexpected.

“What the hell is going on? What’s the situation at the stadium? Are the people in the seventh team eating shit! Go! All of you go! Teams one, two, three, four! All go up, you must surround and trap these two Azure Dragon Armors!”

The Commander cursed angrily and gave the order.

The next instant, the Commander got his answer.

He got the answer as to why the seventh team had achieved nothing.

The short figure of the Azure Dragon Armor controlled by Chen Feng dodged and weaved within a steel forest composed of over a hundred tall old-style armors.

His movements were extremely fast.

His body wasn’t large, but somehow every swing of the Alloy Blade in his hand caused heavy damage to the old-style armor in front of him.

He perfectly utilized the many kinetic energy nozzles around the Azure Dragon Armor’s body, easily leaping to a height of seven or eight meters.

When his opponents saw him in the air, thinking the opportunity had come, abandoning defense and swinging their giant swords trying to cut him in half, he would make incredibly strong directional changes in the air—suddenly up, suddenly down, suddenly left, suddenly right.

With the current technological level, his movements could indeed be tracked, but with the neural reaction speeds of the old-style armor operators, they simply couldn’t react in time!

“Boss, we can’t stop him, what do we do? Boss what do we do!”

The leader of the first team watched as his teammates fell one after another, and shouted desperately through the communicator.

The leader of the second team also shouted, “Too fast! Really too fast! I never imagined that someone in the world could pilot an Azure Dragon Armor this fast. No…”

Before the leader of the second team finished speaking, he was already pierced through the cockpit by a stab from Chen Feng’s blade.

He died.

Killing was actually something Chen Feng experienced for the first time today.

During the fight at the stadium earlier, he felt a bit uncomfortable at first, even being merciful two or three times and sparing lives, which nearly caused Ding Hu to die on the spot.

The Thermal Fusion Cannon shot that hit Ding Hu’s leg armor was fired by an Escape Faction soldier whose life Chen Feng had spared, after he climbed back into the artillery emplacement.

This situation made Chen Feng quickly understand a truth.

On the battlefield, a soldier’s mercy towards the enemy is cruelty towards his own comrades.

So, although he felt pity in his heart, in his actions, Chen Feng lived up to the duty of a war machine.

On the other side, the many Escape Faction high-ranking officials who were sitting calmly in large combat vehicles watching the situation unfold were also shocked by Chen Feng’s god-of-slaughter-like posture.

“Since when can a mere new soldier Base have this kind of ace-level Azure Dragon Armor operator?”

The executive from the resource recovery company was extremely puzzled.

A technical personnel next to him provided analytical data, “That, gentlemen, this person is probably not an ordinary ace.”

“How so?”

“The calculation results show that this Azure Dragon Armor has been continuously maintained at the extreme acceleration kinetic energy state of 20G. That’s why he can cut through our armor formations like chopping vegetables with training equipment. He is the ace among aces! Our luck is too bad this time.”

“No wonder, with such astonishing continuous changes in direction, his physical endurance is beyond imagination.”

“If we don’t think of something, our armors will probably be destroyed by him alone.”

Just then, a young man at the back of the group said disdainfully, “What ace, he’s just relying on that Serum, not his own ability. I’ll go meet him.”

“Lin Bu, don’t be impulsive. You are our final trump card. If you lose too, then we…”

The young man said discontentedly, “Then watch our own people all die by his hand? Do you expect me to break through the Research Institute’s defenses alone after our own people are all dead?”

After saying that, the young man turned and walked out of the command room, heading towards the rear.

“This…”

A middle-aged man with glasses in the center of the command room crowd said, “Let Lin Bu go. Although this person is powerful, Lin Bu’s strength is even greater. The Azure Dragon Armor’s performance may be better, but it also has undeniable drawbacks. Its endurance is not as good as our modified types. Moreover, this person has been maintaining full load for a long time; his energy is almost depleted.”

Unconsciously, with Chen Feng acting as the vanguard and Ding Hu following to cover, the two broke through the layers of encirclement and charged to the inside of the Research Institute’s main gate.

The Research Institute’s defense troops were already at the end of their rope, their spirit on the verge of collapse. The appearance of the two Azure Dragon Armors greatly boosted morale.

“Brother Hu, you go inside first to rest, I’ll hold the entrance. They can’t get in.”

Ding Hu was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. But don’t let your guard down. Just now we were in their armor cluster, they didn’t dare use long-range heavy weapons. Now that we’re inside this gate, they have no scruples. Once you are locked on, remember to jump away in time.”

Chen Feng nodded, while subtly turning slightly, replacing the nuclear fusion energy pack under his chest armor with a relatively concealed and extremely swift motion.

Ding Hu exclaimed in surprise, “Why are you changing to the backup energy already! We’ve been using it for less than an hour total!”

Chen Feng shrugged, “The previous test data was wrong. The three-hour energy consumption duration only considered the usage state of conventional operators. I’ve been using 20G the whole time; energy consumption is particularly high.”

“Ah?”

Chen Feng turned his head again, “But don’t worry, they only have a little over fifty left. This backup energy is more than enough!”

After saying that, Chen Feng stepped out of the gate again, holding the Alloy Blade pointed straight ahead. “Everyone, retreat. You are no match for me. I don’t want to kill any more.”

He had another half a sentence he didn’t finish.

Although everyone would die sooner or later, you all can still live for more than half a year.

You should go enjoy the rest of your lives, not come here rushing to die a meaningless death.

But these people did not retreat, only making a move that puzzled him.

The array of old-style armors heavily surrounding them from the front parted.

A giant mech about twenty meters tall slowly walked out.

Unlike the others which were also entirely silver-white old-style armor, this big guy’s body metal emitted a natural deep black luster.

Its armor thickness, the volume of its torso part, far exceeded that of ordinary old-style armor.

Ding Hu was greatly shocked in the rear, “What model is this? I haven’t seen it, it’s not in the database either! Be careful!”

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, “Something new came.”

“Next, I will be your opponent. Military lackey, are you mentally prepared?”

A heavy voice came from the machine across.

Chen Feng, clad in the Azure Dragon Armor, shrugged, “Has dialogue, a tough character. State your name.”

“You don’t deserve to know my name. I admit you are stronger than the Azure Dragon Armor soldiers I know of. You might be a genius. But you drug-dependent zombies don’t deserve to be considered real geniuses! I, Lin Bu, am different from you. I am not only a genius, I also have belief!”

With a fierce shout, the giant armor took heavy yet swift steps, charging forward like a mammoth.

Chen Feng also went to meet him head-on, “Lin Bu? That’s a good name. I am Chen Feng. Let me see just how much of a genius you are.”

Lin Bu was greatly shocked, “How do you know my name!”

Chen Feng: “…”

“Idiot! You fell for it!” Lin Bu’s armor’s opened right arm suddenly swung, pulling out a giant sword four meters wide from behind. The sword itself was already fifteen meters long. With the swinging motion of his armor, it extended another fifteen meters forward, reaching an astonishing thirty meters!

The giant sword leveled horizontally, slapping straight down from above towards where Chen Feng stood.

To further increase the sword’s swinging speed, the giant armor simultaneously spun in place with a shocking magnitude.

Chen Feng instantly read the instantaneous acceleration of the opponent’s spin from the data monitor on his helmet.

15G!

That guy across, piloting a clumsy giant machine far inferior to the Azure Dragon Armor in controllability, had unleashed 15G acceleration!

Moreover, by the sound of it, he hadn’t even injected any Serum!

Purely in terms of physique, the other party seemed to be a bit more of a genius than him!
