Chapter 266: 248 polymerize 4

"One of the four great silvers of the Sand Thieves..." Battis recognized the opponent.

"Prepare!" He raised his right hand high.

Put put put put!!

Before the people inside the Hollow Body could react, suddenly, huge yellow shadows burst forth from beneath the ground, kicking up massive dust clouds as they pounced towards everyone present.

Screams of agony rose up all around.

Quickly, over fifty unidentified creatures in a mere matter of seconds had ambushed and knocked over half of the Hollow Body team.

Bullets fired, bombs exploded, layers of noise accompanied by flashes of fire continuously burst around them.

A few minutes later.

Battis, the leader, and Laina, along with the last five people, charged full speed toward the Sand Thieves.

Invisible ripples continuously disturbed the air around their bodies; these were the fine vibrations produced by the force field generators being impacted by bullets.

All five of them actually had Level Four Force Field Generators!

"Kill!!" Battis’s eyes turned blood red, his blade cleaving through a lizard-like yellow behemoth that pounced from the side, his entire force field stained red with the spray of blood.

His skin rapidly swelled as a massive amount of drugs were automatically injected into his body modules, enhancing his strength.

The exoskeleton modules also began to operate at full power.

Shh!

In an instant, a flash of gold.

The blond man wearing a golden mask held the sword in one hand, flicking the blood off the blade as he walked past Battis.

"Kill all the men, keep the women to bring back for sacrifice," he said calmly.

Battis’s body slowly split into two pieces behind him.

Seeing the situation turn sour, Laina and the others quickly turned to run.

But from beneath the sandy ground, dozens of giant lizards burst forth, encircling them completely.

In the skies above, helicopters with machine guns also targeted the few of them.

The battle, which lasted only about ten minutes, was over.

"It was too fast..."

Inside the transport ship.

Rainbow Candy sat in front of the control panel, with a heavy expression watching the intelligence video transmitted from Qiong An’s side.

Li Chengyi, Lei Shan, Wang, they were all here, and none of them looked good.

The video completely recorded the process of the Hollow Body team being annihilated.

"The strength of the Silver Cup Sand Thieves is undoubtedly powerful, but why, why would they not even entertain negotiations and instead choose unilateral action?" Rainbow Candy gritted her teeth.

"Because we’re too weak," Wang said coldly. "Who negotiates with a few ants by the roadside? Without demonstrating sufficient threat, no one will care about you."

"The video ended too quickly. But I’ve fought with Battis from the Hollow Body before, that guy... His strength was great. Only slightly weaker than me," Lei Shan said gravely.

"He was using the Earth series military enhancement suit, belonging to a Fifth Rank Cyborg!" Wang glanced at him.

"Yes, you are correct, it was indeed Earth series Heavy Armored Mammoth Suit, but not the top-configured one, just a simplified version. Within the Reinforced Human System, the complete form is not the strongest perfect system; the real strongest individual soldier is still those with high-frequency suits. The complete forms are primarily for strong survival, but their delay is still a bit higher compared to a pure Reinforced Human," Lei Shan nodded.

Li Chengyi, somewhat presumptuously, asked from the side, "Here in Yi Country, our main focus is on Flying Yi. What exactly is this Reinforced Human System about? Can you explain?"

"It’s simple, the enhancement suit system is the core technology of every self-circulating city. Generally, each self-circulating city has its own unique industry chain; that’s the Reinforced Human System. In Yi Country, it’s the Flying Yi tactical system," Lei Shan explained.

Clearly, this was secret knowledge not accessible to ordinary people nor easily found online.

"And internationally, the cyborg system suits are generally rated according to their comprehensive combat capabilities and categorized into different grades.

For example, Grade One roughly matches the level of those trash complete forms that attacked us before."

"Second Rank would be like the most common of the Earth systems, the Red Leopard Suit."

"What about the commercial top-tier Level Four Force Field? Which grade does that belong to?" Li Chengyi asked.

"Naturally, only Second Rank would be equipped with a Level Four Force Field. Didn’t you notice that this grading standard actually corresponds?" Lei Shan said, explaining, "Grade Five basically corresponds to the professional military level. It’s not a level that typical enthusiasts can afford to touch."

"Does that mean the high-end power of the Sand Thieves already possesses strength far exceeding the abilities of a Fifth Rank Cyborg?" Rainbow Candy exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes," Lei Shan nodded, "Judging by the level of that blond, the speed shown in the video is roughly at the standard of Grade Six, plus with a weapon that could cut through a Level Five Force Field in one blow, he’s a very troublesome guy."

"What do we do if we encounter those underground monsters?" Wang asked.

"We have penetration shockwave sensors in the ship, perfect for aiming at the ground as a radar, let’s try that first," Lei Shan suggested.

He had to admit that he was somewhat relieved now for having teamed up with the Garden of Fate; this team might be weak, but they were well-prepared indeed.

The transport ship had all kinds of equipment.

Boom!!

No sooner had he spoken.

Suddenly, a massive explosion came from a distance ahead.

A crimson fireball sent waves of heat, rolling up clouds of dust that swept over the silver exteriors of the two transport ships.

"Everyone off the ship, get ready to engage!"

"Disembark for vigilance!"

"Enemy attack!"

In an instant, Li Chengyi, Lei Shan, Wang, all three issued commands simultaneously.

The wide doors of the transport ship automatically opened, and the Blind Spot Individuals jumped out, barely steadying their feet.

Below the surrounding sand, whooshes of yellow shadows burst forth.

One after another, giant yellow lizards over five meters long and fiercely agile pounced on the Blind Spot Individuals.

Tap tap tap!

Gun ports popped up around the transport ship, a barrage of machine gun bullets were fired out, striking the giant lizards. Surprisingly, they could only injure, not kill them.

"Bullet power is insufficient! Bring out the shockwave blades!" Alisa roared, her full gray Exoskeleton Armor revealing patches of blue patterns.

With incredible speed, she gripped the blade with both hands and swiftly cleaved a giant lizard in two.

But there were simply too many giant lizards around, leaving no time for support.

In just over a dozen seconds, three people were pounced on by the lizards and torn apart alive.

Boom!

A man roared as he carried a giant lizard over ten meters away, and then his body, clad in exoskeleton armor, exploded with a bang.

He had self-destructed.

A fireball with a diameter of several meters burst out, releasing massive shockwaves that even pushed the troop transport ship floating away over ten meters.

About a dozen of the surrounding giant lizards were instantly blown to pieces.

"Mace!! Fuck!!" Alisa was incensed, slaying a giant lizard with almost every swing of her sword, furiously speeding up her killing spree.

Whir!

Not far away, a helicopter quickly approached, with a cannon on its body aiming at the transport ship.

Whoosh!

A rocket shot out, striking the helicopter dead center.

With a thunderous explosion, the helicopter became a fireball, spinning and crashing to the ground.

On the side of the transport ship, the bespectacled man from Northern Shore Star put down the portable rocket launcher he was carrying.

At this moment, Lei Shan and Wang, along with Rainbow Candy, also came out to help.

The trio was extremely fast in cleaning up the giant lizards.

And in a direction that nobody had noticed,

a vague humanoid figure, draped in a white cape with golden round buttons on the shoulders, was silently walking towards the hatch of the transport ship.

After a short while, the figure quietly entered the hatch, floating as though hovering, leaving no footprints behind.

He seemed extremely familiar with the ship, heading straight for the command center where Li Chengyi was.

Inside the command center, Li Chengyi, holding a small pistol, was ready to head back and change. After pressing the auto-fire control button, he turned to leave.

Suddenly, his face showed terror as he looked at the tall figure in a white robe that had appeared out of nowhere behind him in the control room.

"You!! How did you get in here?! Why didn’t the surveillance system give any warning!?" Involuntarily, he stepped back, his back pressed against the console.

"You’re too weak... I just walked in quietly, and no one stopped me."

The man in the white robe was also wearing a golden mask, holding a golden scimitar in one hand. His build was slightly slimmer than the other person seen in previous footage.

"What... what do you want to do!?" Li Chengyi’s teeth chattered with nervousness.

"Many people are wondering where that Reinforced Human System behind you actually is. We of Black Road Oasis are also curious, so..." The robed figure took a step forward. "Can you drop the act? As a former actor, just seeing your crappy acting makes me want to throw up."

"Crappy!?" Li Chengyi’s eyes widened, and the trembling of his teeth stopped abruptly.

"Really that crappy?"

"Really." The man in the robe sighed.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyi frowned.

"Why? I thought my act was quite convincing."

"Because of logic... There are indeed cowards among the Blind Spot Individuals, but those who come here shouldn’t be scared like this. Your acting is not bad, but the basic logic is flawed," the robed figure explained.

"I see..." Li Chengyi showed a look of realization, "but since you know I’m an impostor... why would you dare to come here alone?"

"What do you think?" The man in the robe smiled.

"Everyone knows I’m posing; they all know the disguise is for protection."

Li Chengyi laughed and said, "But have you ever thought that maybe... I’m not disguising myself for my own sake... but for someone else?"

"You’re very confident." The man in the robe clapped his hands in applause. "But what does ’disguise for someone else’ mean?"

"Because..."

Li Chengyi raised his left hand, and a golden longsword rapidly coalesced and appeared.

"Fear, it’s contagious after all..."

In an instant, shadows flickered.

Chit!

The man in the white robe stiffened all over and slowly looked down.

"How... how is this possible!?" He was a Fifth Rank Sand Boat Golden Vulture cyborg, reinforced with special materials!

How could...

Silently, his body split from the head to the waist, with a clear, oblique line.

"I’m... I’m dead just like that!?"

In his final moments, the man in the white robe suddenly realized.

He considered the possibility that Li Chengyi might have decent strength, but... what he hadn’t contemplated was... the extent of his adversary’s power, which was simply... terrifying!

Despair, shock, pain, and incomprehension.

A torrent of emotions surged rapidly and then faded away amidst acute agony, vanishing.

Thud.

The corpse fell forward to its knees, and blood slowly spread across the ground.

"Ah Long," Li Chengyi looked at the body on the ground with regret, "come clean this up."

The Dragon Gate Crane emerged cautiously from a corner, kicking at the corpse on the ground.

"This guy was weak, died with just one hit."

"Yes, he must have been just a weakling putting on a show. Dispose of him quickly," Li Chengyi nodded in agreement.

"Don’t worry, boss, I’m not great at fighting, but I’m a pro at this!" Dragon Gate Crane chuckled.

He quickly dragged the body into a room and began to go through the spoils of war.

In his room, there was a decomposition box that could corrode and break down the body, turning it into waste that would be thrown out.

After all, the desert was boundless, and no one would notice a bit of debris tossed aside.
