Following the prompt from the sky curtain, Liu Xiaoheng finally remembered that such a thing existed.
At the same time, he finally felt the fierce struggle between his physical will and his breathing instinct. As he was gasping for breath, the young man had already pulled him out from under the ground.
This was just an open space in the outer city area. There was nothing special about it, and the dead beast lay less than two meters away.
By tapping a hidden switch on the side of the helmet, the front of the exoskeleton helmet immediately opened outwards, revealing the slightly pale face inside.
After more than ten seconds of breathing and adjustment, Liu Xiaoheng finally stood on the ground again.
He looked at the smiling young man beside him, then looked at the ground beneath his feet which had become hard again, and roughly guessed what had happened.
"What's your name?"
He looked at the boy who saved his life, his tone full of respect.
The young man in front of him fell into a brief period of thought, as if he was struggling with which code name to say.
Finally he raised his head and smiled:
"Just call me El."
"Thank you for saving me, but I have to return to the battlefield, so I won't say more."
The man wearing the exoskeleton looked at the city wall in the distance, flexed his muscles, and had an eager look on his face.
The wound on his shoulder has begun to heal slowly.
According to the detection device inside the exoskeleton, the wounds on both shoulders were still bleeding, but this was not important.
Just as Liu Xiaoheng was about to start sprinting, the young man next to him said:
"I'll take you there."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the exoskeleton on Liu Xiaoheng's arm. The next moment, he felt everything around him melting and reshaping.
Just less than a second later, the two men were standing on the city wall hundreds of meters away again. Beside them were several soldiers who were changing bullets. They were frightened by the sudden appearance of the two men and raised their guns to fire.
Liu Xiaoheng roughly understood that he had just experienced a "teleportation" and was about to thank the young man next to him, but he found that the other person's figure had flashed to a battlefield a hundred meters away.
The young man picked up a long metal blade that was almost as tall as him as if no one was around, and the next moment he returned to Liu Xiaoheng.
"Thanks."
Liu Xiaoheng took the long blade, and the magnetic interfaces of energy and toxin were successfully reconnected. Under the high-frequency vibration, the long blade became slightly blurred again.
“You’re welcome…”
The young man seemed to be about to say something, but he found that another person was caught in the air by the strange beast and was about to be thrown.
It was just an ordinary soldier, who seemed to have angered a bird-like monster with his continuous hits, leading to its revenge.
And at the moment the soldier was thrown from the sky, the boy also disappeared from the spot.
He flashed to the path that the soldier must take to fall, then grabbed the corner of the soldier's combat uniform and fell to the ground with the man.
As for the strange beast in the sky, after losing its only hostage, it quickly turned into a sieve of flesh and blood, and finally fell down to the ground.
Liu Xiaoheng, who had watched the entire rescue operation, did not hesitate and rejoined the battlefield with a long blade, injecting deadly toxins into the beasts.
Just like countless times before, this beast tide ended with human victory after a few hours.
Liu Xiaoheng and four other exoskeleton testers returned to the testing site and met the old acquaintance researcher.
After spending some time together, Liu Xiaoheng felt that he had become quite familiar with the researcher whose mind was only filled with killing.
But he still didn't expect that the other party would show a relatively normal side. At this moment, he was holding a report and reporting to the old and young people around him.
The two people who were listening to the report looked extremely serious, nodding from time to time and pointing somewhere to ask questions.
The communication over there finally ended when the five testers were doing nothing and started doing push-ups.
The three researchers' eyes all looked over and finally focused on Liu Xiaoheng.
“The test has ended, and your exoskeleton has been selected. Mass production will begin tomorrow.
"You five can return to the virtual training camp. The mass production of exoskeletons will officially begin in a week, and your names are among the first batch."
The five people were not too surprised when they heard this. They already knew their mission during this period. Although the exoskeletons equipped by four of them were not selected, these did not belong to them. Instead, they were very excited about the subsequent deployment.
The researcher in charge of debugging stepped forward and began to emphasize to the five people some precautions after returning to the training camp. The final test that lasted for dozens of days finally came to an end.

As usual, the fleeing beast tide was chased and intercepted by Fran's team.
After eliminating the strange beasts that were injected with toxins, her team was expanded again.
Recently, another batch of exotic beasts have been successfully released, no, they have successfully graduated from the "beast group" and "Xiaosheng", and have become good helpers for humans to explore the outside world, assisting humans in exploring the southern area blocked by mycelium.
This is the content of mankind’s most recent outdoor operation. Thanks to the efforts of Fran and other strange beasts, the fog of war around Hope City has been basically dispelled. The places that have not been seen are actually not that important. After all, you can easily guess that it is the territory of mycelium.
Wang Xiao’s mission this time is to witness with his own eyes the “abyss” at the southernmost part of Hope City.
At a location where Fran and all the strange beasts could not chase and intercept them, a small group of strange beasts successfully returned to the Misty Forest.
These remnants of the defeated army have completed most of their missions and are only one step away from retiring successfully.
As they got further into the forest, they gradually slowed down.
Milky white hyphae stretched out from the ground, interweaving and spreading into a fine net.
The strange beasts fell down without any pain, and the mycelium wrapped them like a spider web. Soon, gurgling sounds of decomposition gas could be heard from the milky white "cocoon".
And among these strange beasts, there is only one strange species.
A strange beast that is somewhat similar to a bear and a leopard is now wailing on the ground made of a mixture of mycelium and humus in the misty forest.
It did not die on the road like other poisoned beasts because running promoted the toxins to enter its circulation, nor did it return to the earth, the forest, and the embrace of its mother like its companions.
Because it has been contaminated by biomass, and the contaminated monsters will not be accepted by the mycelium. This is a restriction that Cloto, who has suffered losses once or twice, has issued within his own territory.
Not getting any response, the strange beast began to bite and scratch everything around it angrily.
