Chapter 85: Three Moves

Chapter 85: Three Moves

The dust settled, and Chen Feng still stood at the entrance of the Research Institute.

The alloy and cast metal gate behind him had split into two and collapsed with a loud crash.

“Oh? Not bad, you actually dodged it?”

Lin Bu’s gaze focused on the projection screen, staring directly at Chen Feng who seemed unharmed, showing a bit of interest.

His eyes drifted to the upper right corner. The number displayed on that part of the screen was the instantaneous acceleration of Chen Feng’s Azure Dragon Armor just now.

21G.

Although Lin Bu didn’t know how Chen Feng did it, machines don’t lie. This was a fact.

Given the level of technological development in this era, machines had achieved incredible precision. The design limit of the Azure Dragon Armor should be 20G. There was no reason it could go 1G higher.

But it was precisely this slight extra data that caused his confident sword slash to miss.

On the other side, Chen Feng was also staring ahead, covered in cold sweat.

This modified old-model armor had something to it.

Both the operator inside, who could physically withstand 15G, and the armor itself were beyond his expectations.

Although the modified version’s control system and precision were far inferior to the Azure Dragon Armor, its main material was also far from comparable to ordinary old-model armor. Its strength had increased significantly.

Its larger size meant thicker armor. Many vital points that existed on old-model armor were not present on this modified one.

Its weapon system was also more bizarre and varied.

If he hadn’t utilized gravity at the critical moment and instantly turned off the self-protection mechanism, pushing the acceleration to 21G, his head would have been sliced off by a hair’s breadth.

Performing such an unconventional maneuver was not without cost for Chen Feng.

At the moment of landing, because the descent speed was too fast and he failed to reactivate the self-protection mechanism in time, the deceleration caused excessive acceleration.

The instantaneous acceleration even exceeded 23G!

Although his body could withstand it, it had already exceeded the design limit of the Azure Dragon Armor.

Now, on the monitoring instruments, the color representing the leg armor’s status could be seen changing from intact green to light yellow.

Damage level: 17.8%.

Many joint areas had already developed cracks. A few more instances like this might turn the damage level to red, requiring a mandatory factory repair.

Although his own situation was slightly bad, Chen Feng would not reveal his weakness.

“You’re not bad either. Compared to those trash-like opponents, you’re a bit more decent.”

Chen Feng placed his Alloy Blade on his shoulder, speaking in a slightly teasing tone.

“Interesting. You’re also different from ordinary World Army soldiers. You seem to have some thoughts of your own?”

At that moment, Ding Hu, responsible for holding the rear, interjected from behind, “Have you had contact with the Azure Dragon Armor before?”

Lin Bu laughed, “Of course. Otherwise, how would I know I have you all figured out?”

“A year ago, was it you who attacked the two Azure Dragon Armor operators on a mission at the East River Base?”

A puzzled voice came from Lin Bu, “Let me think… Oh, I remember. Those two trash. Yes, it was me. What about it?”

“Bastard! One of the two people you killed was named Ding Long. He was my brother!”

Ding Hu roared in anger, trying to rush past Chen Feng to attack.

Chen Feng raised his hand to stop him. “Brother Hu, you are my Instructor. You need to stay calm. If you go up, you probably wouldn’t last even five seconds. If I’m left fighting alone against this rebellion, this Research Institute won’t be held.”

Ding Hu looked back and reluctantly returned inside the gate.

He didn’t say any unnecessary words like begging Chen Feng to avenge him.

He remembered his duty. The mission was the top priority.

“But, Brother Hu, don’t worry. If I didn’t know about this, it would be one thing. But now that I know, I won’t let him leave here alive.”

Chen Feng chuckled softly and once again silently released the self-protection mechanism.

Since the Azure Dragon Armor was already damaged and not suitable for a prolonged battle, he planned to decide the outcome within the next three moves.

As long as he could decisively take down this modified armor with a sufficiently dominant posture, the others would naturally be cautious and not dare act recklessly.

Then, using the remaining firepower cover from the Research Institute’s defense force, he and Brother Hu could timely retreat into the Research Institute. Holding out until reinforcements arrived would be a great success.

“Alright, enough idle talk. Time for business.” Chen Feng stepped forward again. “This ends now.”

Lin Bu: “Right. Last time your reinforcements came too fast, so I left empty-handed and didn’t manage to steal any Azure Dragon Armor. But this time, I won’t let any accidents happen.”

Chen Feng leapt into the air. “To kill you, I only need three moves!”

“Nonsense!” Lin Bu’s hands flew across the cockpit controls. The modified armor’s back, shoulders, abdomen, and front thigh armor panels opened, revealing layers upon layers of heavy firepower weapons.

“Let’s see you dodge this!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Over a dozen extremely fast-tracking missiles screamed out. At the same time, five Thermal Fusion Cannons formed a crossfire net, locking onto Chen Feng from all angles with no blind spots.

Only at this moment did this modified armor reveal its ferocious fangs.

This single armor was equivalent to a small military fortress!

Lin Bu stared ahead, thinking: This attack pattern I’ve locked on is based on your secretly revealed 21G limit from before. Let’s see how you…

“What!”

Right before his eyes, Chen Feng’s Azure Dragon Armor abruptly vanished from the fire net.

In the next instant, Chen Feng appeared right in front of his chest armor, and the Alloy Blade came slashing down hard.

Lin Bu frantically maneuvered the modified armor to retreat backward while glancing at the monitoring data.

23G!

Impossible!

Didn’t the professor say the Military’s drugs only supported up to 20G?

How could he keep surpassing the limit one after another? Isn’t he afraid of death?

Crash!

Chen Feng’s Alloy Blade still struck the seam on both sides of his chest armor.

Lin Bu’s cockpit shook violently, but he didn’t die. He shouted madly, “Idiot! This isn’t my vital point at all…”

“Is that so?” Chen Feng grinned, raising his leg as if to kick the modified armor’s head.

Lin Bu’s modified armor’s right fist opened up, revealing a sharp spinning blade that stabbed forward.

But Chen Feng didn’t dodge or evade. A hatch opened on the inside of his raised thigh, firing out a total of ten concussive grenades that precisely landed inside the seam of the modified armor’s chest armor.

These concussive grenades were far less powerful than the high-explosive bombs in conventional equipment, but stacked together, they were enough to give the opponent a hard time.

Chen Feng continued his forward charge. His left arm held the Alloy Shield, blocking the opening of the seam. His right hand, holding the Alloy Blade, clashed head-on with the opponent’s spinning blade, which was almost as big as the entire Azure Dragon Armor.

Yes, he intended to use the shield to press all the explosive force of these concussive grenades into the modified armor’s chest!

If quality alone couldn’t break it, add quantity too.

Moreover, his Alloy Shield was standard equipment with amazing material that could fully withstand such an explosion.

A series of chain explosions sounded.

Several cables in Lin Bu’s cockpit were finally blasted apart amidst the violent shaking, causing him to lose control of the modified armor’s armor. It toppled backward.

The pressure on Chen Feng’s right-hand Alloy Blade suddenly dropped. He retracted the Alloy Blade behind him and pressed his right-hand solid-shotgun against the gap in the chest armor seam.

Firing wildly!

About ten seconds later, he jumped back.

He was out of bullets.

But, using precise shooting at the same spot, he had successfully blasted open the modified armor’s cockpit defense, destroying every inch below Lin Bu’s head!

The large square entrance fell silent.

Ding Hu simply found it unbelievable.

The Escape Faction higher-ups were dumbfounded.

Everything had happened too fast.

Ding Hu walked up behind Chen Feng. “Are you okay?”

Chen Feng replied softly, “I’m fine, but my Azure Dragon Armor is not. Every single step of that maneuver just now was at 23G. I feel like my armor is about to fall apart.”

On the monitoring instrument before his eyes, the Azure Dragon Armor showed deep red for nearly all components, top to bottom. Damage exceeded 80%.

“Hmm.”

Ding Hu pondered for two seconds and made a decisive decision.

“Before they can react, I’ll release control immediately. You get in my Azure Dragon Armor!”
