Punch First, Solve Problems While Hitting
【Iteration Movement】
Li Aozi's figure rapidly elongated, his body turning into molecules, as the crimson explosive ser mercilessly engulfed his shadow, dodging behind the door.
"This guy hasn't been otlefield yet, but his tactical awareness is quite sharp! Aually has an anti-gravity system; tsk, never uimate such a person."
At this point, there was no room fotiation.
"I have to annihite all the Law III agents and keep Du Zexin."
Just as Li Aozi drew his long khe system promptly issued a notification:
【You have triggered an emerge—《Armored Assault》】
【Type】: Event
【Duration】: 20 minutes (tdown starts upon engaging in bat)
【Mission Difficulty】: B
【Description】:
Those who shouldn't fight are forced into a battle that shouldn't happen—this sounds ridiculous, but iy, there are always cshes between snipe and cm, with the fisherman reaping the bes.
Sometimes, the world is like this; you 't choose your enemies, and even if the other party is unwilling to fight, they must participate.
However, the good news is that even if you 't persuade each other, you at least have the ability to make the other party listen.
Be careful not to let the oriole fill its belly.
【pletion ditions】:
a—Subdue Du Zexin without killing him, reward 10,000 experience points;
b—Eliminate all Law III agents, each Law III agent rewards an additional 4,000 experience points, current progress: 0/25;
c—Capture Professor Anna alive, interrogate her for access permissions, reward one random 【Exquisite】 system basiowledge item.
——————————
The rewards were not very generous. It seemed Du Zexin had only retly advao Beta tier, making him less of a threat than the ibal.
Indeed, it must be his unlucky stitution; usually, newly advanced superhumans need a few months to adapt and stabilize their realm, but Du Zexin robably dragged here as a script.
"Quick, hide!"
Li Aozi g the interfad immediately shouted to Qiu Ran and Jane.
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, Du Zexin, the full-ce 【Beautiful Wishes】 armor, rocketed into the hall. The pale armor, like an a noble knight, with a bde-shaped antenna on his head, instinctively reminded people of a uni.
"That's..."
Qiu Ran was shocked by the stunning meical marvel.
Without any unnecessary decorations, the sharply angur armor, devoid of any paint, instead highlighted its pure industrial aesthetic. Coupled with the tours of eleic muscles, Du Zexin appeared like an angel of steel, majestid holy.
Beep beep beep—
The Magnum energy gun aimed at Li Aozi again, and Du Zexin uatingly pulled the trigger. The red ser energy dissolved the metal projectile into a metal jet, propelled to four times the speed of sound, arriving in an instant!
Bang!
The alloy wall was instantly dehe residual heat of the metal making one's skin crawl. Qiu Ran quickly ducked her head and hid.
Jane Neria's eyes flickered, silently hiding in a nearby passage, the situation.
Shoom shoom—
Du Zexin's marksmanship was excellent. He didn't care that there was a reactor nearby, calmly firing at Li Aozi.
Li Aozi deflected the gravity, skillfully wall-jumping, ging dire in mid-air to evade the Magnum energy gun's aim. The long knife whirled with murderous i, poung towards the oppo in an instant.
Du Zexied quickly, the thrusters on his waist suddenly shutting down, rapidly desding while ung an impact gre the ground. The violent shockwave exploded instantly, f Li Aozi to retreat to avoid being harmed by the bst.
Using the explosion's shockwave, Du Zexin immediately distanced himself from Li Aozi. His left shoulder lowered, releasing a triple fshbang, f Li Aozi to dud pull down his visor upon nding.
Bang bang bang bang bang—
The crisp tinuous explosions mixed with the sonis of shock grenades, creating a terrifying audiovisual effect, making Qiu Ran, who was hiding, scream in fear.
"Ah—"
As an ordinary person with no bat experience, Qiu Ran couldn't adapt to such shog impacts.
"A woman's voice—Is she his panion? Or a survivor?"
Du Zexin was slightly surprised but didn't let it hinder his as. He slid ba his feet, and the rockets on his shoulders fired in full force.
"Fox-3, all missiles fired!"
The active radar warheads locked onto Li Aozi's figure, accelerating towards him.
Li Aozi didn't hesitate to deal with such ons. He ducked, sheathed his knife, and activated iteration movement, leaving a trail of images in the air, sliding into a biochemical chamber that had previously housed a Camity Armament.
Bang bang bang bang!
The rockets exploded intments, filling the air with smoke.
"This guy has guts. I wouldn't dare bomb randomly."
Li Aozi couldn't help but admire the 【Exquisite】 system's overachiever's fidence.
Pyers feared blowing up the reactor, but this guy was going all out!
Hiss—
The Magnum energy gued its empty magazine, and Du Zexin swiftly reloaded, spping the receiver to ge the operating system.
[Suppression Mode]
Buzz—rat-tat-tat-tat!
He held the energy gun in one hand, firing at Li Aozi, while his other hand pulled up a virtual s.
"Abyss Humanitarian's work defense is virtually ent. With slight adjustments, I access all the cameras..."
Li Aozi's instant movement severely hindered him, leaving the air maneuvering to his assistant AI for analysis.
After all, he was a 【Meic】, with 【Intelligence】 as his main attribute rather than 【Strength】 and 【Dexterity】.
No matter how accurate his marksmanship, a human without strength-enhang attributes couldn't pete with puter calcutions and predictive aiming.
This allowed him to multitask, starting to hato Abyss Humanitarian's work.
Li Aozi's as were entirely within his expectations. By maintaining suppression, he could steadily exhaust the oppo's stamina and secure victory.
Like Li Aozi, he didn't want to kill the other party directly.
As an ordinary Law III agent leader, not many knew him, and Li Aozi's attacks several times with the back of his knife indicated he was holding back.
Such obvious restraint gave Du Zexin a guess:
'Could he be a Davelin faember like me?'
If he really was a Davelin fa ally—this would be even more troublesome.
Given the special nature of Abyss Humanitarian, Frost-Pted's bigwigs paid close attention, making Du Zexin cautious.
With the professor of Abyss Humanitarian just deceased, Twin Star City already knew she was 'actally killed' by Anna. The surveilnce system here had likely been infiltrated by insiders of the bigwigs.
Even he couldn't guarantee how much the Frost-Pted bigwigs knew about the situation here, given that their top hackers far surpassed social hackers.
The other party probably had the same idea; one of them had to lose, at least for appearance's sake.
Despite his suspis, he couldn't afford to show mercy.
"You really are quasi-Beta."
Du Zexin's syic eleic voice calmly praised.
Bang!
Li Aozi dodged a grehe oppo's anti-gravity system made gravity useless against him, f Li Aozi to zigzag, ing the oppo's ammunition.
He raised his ko block, defleg the metal jet. The massive impact pushed him back three steps, just in time to avoid Du Zexin's rocket striking the ground.
[Camera access obtained]
Du Zexin expertly trolled the distance, using shrapnel and explosive impacts to force Li Aozi to dodge.
"In that case..."
Li Aozi advanced by retreating, instantly activating 【Iteration Movement】, cirg around the oppo and appearing behind Du Zexin.
All of this was observed by Abyss Humanitarian's cameras.
Gotcha!
Du Zexin leased. He had deliberately left an opening to lure Li Aozi in.
As Li Aozi raised his ko strike, Du Zexin tapped his belt, activating bioelectric muscles in his legs. The armor split open, f spikes and quickly dissipati, sparking a dazzliric arc.
[Blessing Kick]
Du Zexin twisted his waist, raising his leg like a terclockwise kick, striking the back of Li Aozi's knife!
Bang!
The electric current was absorbed by Li Aozi's insuted gloves, but the immense kiiergy sent him flying. He spun three times in the air, adjusted the gravity, and nded safely on the ceiling.
"Whoa..."
Li Aozi g the trembling bde, the guard slightly loose.
The power from that kick was at least five tons, causing such signifit damage.
This was despite him using gravity adjustment to weaken most of the impact.
"—You're not bad either."
Unlucky as he was, Du Zexin was still quite strong, almost injuring him.
Du Zexin's suppression was terrifying. His precise fire ce severely restricted Li Aozi's movement space.
Moreover, his 【Beautiful Wishes】 armor, all parts of [Fwless] quality, and the Magnum energy gun of [Transdent] strength, made him formidable.
Li Aozi estimated the armor's defeo be at least 3000 points, tougher than the ibal.
"That's why I hate these smarter overachievers..."
Li Aozi muttered.
Fighting Du Zexin was quite thrilling. Although his operations cked the polish of te-stage veteran pyers, his equipment and bat awareness made them evenly matched.
This was iing... Li Aozi estimated Du Zexin's level to be around 40, with 【Intelligence】 simir to the professor's and 【Dexterity】 as his sedary attribute, allowing him to pete iion speed.
Though his knowledge and skills were a bit g, the armor boosted his strength to rival the ibal.
However, pared to the ibal's disgusting self-healing ability, Du Zexin was easier to handle.
The Law III agents were alert, never showing their heads, occasionally taking potshots, like mosquitoes, irritating Li Aozi.
"Noisy pests— I initially wao leave room fotiation, but now I'll just plete dition B first!"
Li Aozi feigned a charge, braving the suppressive fire, and suddenly released a blinding white light from his palm.
【Bright Dazzle】
The brilliant high-iy light instantly burned out Du Zexin's helmet cameras. As he activated the backup monitors, Li Aozi had already shifted direultiple times in the air, rushing towards the agents hiding in the passage.
Gegu gagaga...
Su Zhan hummed a low tune, eagerly craving bloodshed. The war ghost's fierce spirit enveloped the long knife, and Li Aozi's eyes glowed purple, sshing mercilessly at the Law III agents!
