Chapter 286 Will of iron!
Ren Xiaosu’s Strength was at 10.5, while his Dexterity was at 10.1. Honestly, these stats weren’t that high.
But since he gained the external armor, he had turned into an utter “land beast” in the eyes of others. He did not even need to use any fanciful moves to kill his enemies. He only needed to use his absolute strength to have an overwhelming advantage over them.
But even so, he would still get drained if he had to deal with over a 100 nanosoldiers. After all, when his strength was used up, even the power of the armor would become extremely limited.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaojin was here. With her Perfect Firearms Proficiency, she did not miss any of her shots from hundreds of meters away, even if Ren Xiaosu and the nanosoldiers were moving around at high speed!
Sniper rifles had an extremely high standing in infantry combat operations. It represented a super frightening destructive power that all enemies had to be afraid of, and its existence was the absolute authority in a war between infantry.
Usually, snipers would choose to fire a single shot when carrying out a decapitation strike. But at the moment, Yang Xiaojin was using her sniper rifle like a long-distance artillery cannon that she kept firing.
With a sniper supporting Ren Xiaosu, his attacks became even stronger. This gave him more confidence to effectively kill and cut open a path past the nanosoldiers. The nanosoldiers were trying to surround them, but all their efforts turned out to be futile in the face of Yang Xiaojin and Ren Xiaosu’s cooperation.
One of the nanosoldiers raised his nanosword and went to slash at Ren Xiaosu from behind. But just as he raised his arm, he was killed by a powerful shot from the sniper.
Whenever anyone tried to attack from behind, the sniper’s bullets were bound to arrive. All of a sudden, none of the nanosoldiers dared to stand behind Ren Xiaosu!
Meanwhile, Chen Wudi was swinging his Golden-Hooped Rod next to Ren Xiaosu at their enemies. No one knew how heavy it was, but every hit the nanosoldiers took from it would leave them with broken bones and tendons!
All the fleeing stronghold residents were extremely shocked when they saw this. It was a fight that only existed in their imaginations. When the “mechanical beast” moved, even the ground under it crumbled.
But all of a sudden, Ren Xiaosu realized the Experimentals behind them were about to catch up!
He noticed in his peripheral vision that there were also Experimentals scrambling up the building Yang Xiaojin was on. Suddenly, a Shadow Door opened in the shadows of the rooftop.
Yang Xiaojin wielded the sniper rifle and continued shooting. Luo Xinyu’s voice came through the Shadow Door, “Xiaojin, hurry up. Stop trying to save him. It’s gonna be too late if you don’t leave now!”
But Yang Xiaojin did not say anything and just kept shooting, reloading, c.o.c.king the rifle, and continuously firing at the enemy. Even with her strong physical fitness, she was starting to get hurt by the sniper rifle’s recoil. But she could not stop shooting. If she stopped, what would happen to Ren Xiaosu?
Luo Xinyu was freaking out. “Hurry up, the Experimentals have almost climbed to the top of the roof. Girl, I’m begging you, time is running out!”
“Hold on.” Yang Xiaojin calmly tossed aside another magazine and replaced it with a new one. She had already discarded a lot of expended mags around her, though she still had about a dozen mags left in her backpack.
What normal sniper would carry so many bullets like her? No other sniper would do that. Only a Perfect Firearms Proficiency wielder could turn a sniper rifle into a 100% effective fire support control weapon.
Luo Xinyu was burning with worry. She did not know what had gotten into Yang Xiaojin for her to disregard her own safety!
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaojin continued looking through the scope as she wanted to help Ren Xiaosu eliminate any potential threats!
The next moment, the Experimentals climbed onto the rooftop and pounced at Yang Xiaojin!
Even while the Experimentals were in midair, Yang Xiaojin was still pulling the trigger!
Just as the tip of the claw of an Experimental was about to touch Yang Xiaojin’s hair, she grabbed Luo Xinyu’s hand and disappeared in a flas.h.!.+
Several Experimentals collided midair on the rooftop with angry roars!
Without any covering fire from the sniper, Ren Xiaosu gradually found it very strenuous. The nanosoldiers also realized the sniper had retreated, so they immediately formed a circle to kill Ren Xiaosu and Chen Wudi in this spot.
Ren Xiaosu noticed the power for his armor was about to run out, and the distance between them and the Experimentals was only several hundred meters. He let out a sigh when he saw there was no way out for them.
But just as Li Shentan had said, in the moment between life and death, the rage and strength that stemmed from the unwillingness to die decided whether one would survive or not!
Although Ren Xiaosu was exhausted, he still had a trump card.
Even though 10.5 Strength was not all that high, it would be a whole new world with “City Crusher” activated.
The City Crusher power-up could only last 30 seconds. Therefore, Ren Xiaosu regarded it as his greatest trump card. Ren Xiaosu placed a great deal of importance on it. It wasn’t how great a change City Crusher could give him, but how significant a change it could give the shadow clone!
Ren Xiaosu’s eyes turned crimson and the world seemed to tint red. With the arrival of a new world, the old one was about to get destroyed.
Immediately after Ren Xiaosu activated City Crusher, he summoned his shadow clone!
The formula for calculating the power of the shadow clone was very straightforward. It was twice as strong as Ren Xiaosu, so after he activated City Crusher, the shadow clone would become four times as strong as him!
The moment the shadow clone separated from Ren Xiaosu, it jumped into the air and leaped towards the group of nanosoldiers in front of it. It slashed at them with its black saber, moving as gracefully as a dancer.
The nanosoldiers were dying off one by one in front of the shadow clone.
When one of the nanosoldiers raised his nanosword and slashed at the shadow clone, he did not know the shadow clone had already moved past him. The black saber also cut through the nanosoldier, and his body was split in two.
This so-called City Crusher was a power that could really rock the entire city!
The shadow clone held a nanosoldier up by his neck and used him as a human s.h.i.+eld. As it dashed forward, the buildings collapsed upon collision and cracks appeared in the ground with every step it took.
The dense black figure was like a swimming dragon that had descended onto the world.
The shadow clone of the young man was killing people within the panicking crowd in the boundless streets of the stronghold!
When the black saber, City Crusher, and shadow clone were used together, it became a real power that could surpa.s.s the ordinary.
Even if it could only last 30 seconds!
Ren Xiaosu was panting heavily.
None of the dozens of nanosoldiers could hold out for even half a second when facing the shadow clone.
The shadow clone stood at the far end of the street, surrounded by neon lights and a prosperity that was about to be shattered. This was a world that was going to be destroyed.
The shadow clone stood there quietly and pointed at the nanosoldiers in front of it with its black saber, as though to convey its iron will to the world.
The nanosoldiers would still have the heart to fight if the difference in strength was not that great, but the shadow clone was simply too terrifying. They felt that it would be very difficult to take on a power like it even if the armored forces were here.
Of course, they were unaware that City Crusher would only last for 30 seconds.
The nanosoldiers began to retreat at this time. They had also noticed the Experimentals closing in. Since they couldn’t defeat Ren Xiaosu, they could only retreat.
Ren Xiaosu was relieved when he saw them retreating. The effective duration for City Crusher was almost over. His strength was running out as well. Even the battery of his armor had nearly been used up.
He was at his limits.
All of a sudden, a nanosoldier carrying a rocket launcher pulled the trigger from the shadows!
However, he had aimed it at Chen Wudi instead of Ren Xiaosu!
“Wudi!” Ren Xiaosu roared.
“Ah?” Chen Wudi, who had just killed a nanosoldier, turned around when he heard his master calling his name.
But when he turned around, he saw Ren Xiaosu leaping towards him. His master who always claimed that he was not a good person was like a hero who had descended from above to protect a mentally ill child’s fragile dreams. That was because the child’s dream was to be a hero and a good person.
‘But, Master, you’re clearly a good person, the best in the world.’
All of the armor on Ren Xiaosu’s body formed up in front of him. It was like he was holding up a s.h.i.+eld bestowed by the heavens as he stood in front of Chen Wudi!
He attempted to block the RPG with all the power the nanoarmor could give!
With a boom, Ren Xiaosu and Chen Wudi were sent flying by the ma.s.sive shockwave while the armor was blown to pieces by the explosion.
Chen Wudi got up from the ground and shouted, “Master!”
The scattered armor suddenly liquefied and gathered back towards Ren Xiaosu, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
