As Xia Wuyou approached step by step, Chen Fang's expression became increasingly ferocious.
"Why... why did Chief Shen trust you so much!"
He took off his helmet and roared uncontrollably at the girl, "Why did you do this?!"
Now that he's come to his senses, he realizes it's all because of the other party's betrayal.
If it weren't for the false information she provided, his team wouldn't have been wiped out!
Faced with Chen Fang's questioning, Xia Wuyou seemed somewhat lost in thought, her light blue eyes completely losing their luster.
It was clear that she was in great pain.
Just two days ago they were chatting and laughing, but now they're facing each other on the battlefield... If she could, she would never want to see this happen.
But she had no choice.
Xia Wuyou didn't know how to explain these things to him, nor did she have the inclination.
Because there was another problem facing her.
Should we... let him go?
The self-blame and guilt surging in her heart told her that this was the right choice.
However.
Just as she was about to make way, a voice suddenly rang out.
Do you think you still have a choice?
!
What happened?
Xia Wuyou was all too familiar with that voice... but he was clearly not here right now, so why was he still being disturbed?
The girl was unaware that this was the effect left by the "increase in entropy of evil thoughts".
Those who are sown with seeds by Xu Shi will find it difficult to escape them throughout their lives.
So, after a brief hesitation, she finally slowly drew the alloy battle blade from her waist.
Seeing his opponent assume a fighting stance, Chen Fang was taken aback for a moment, then raised his warhammer and shouted, "Die!"
He actually knew very little about Xia Wuyou, and didn't really care about her relationship with Shen He.
All he wants now is to smash this culprit into mincemeat!
The warhammer crashed down, creating a deep crater that served as solid proof of just how terrifying his power was, amplified by his supernatural abilities.
However, facing such a fierce attack, Xia Wuyou easily dodged it by slightly shifting her body to the side, and then suddenly rushed in front of Chen Fang at an odd angle.
As her wrist flashed with light, the next second, Chen Fang was horrified to find that his body seemed to have taken root in the ground.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch.
"you……"
Before he could speak, the girl's battle blade was already in front of him.
"laugh--"
The alloy blade hummed and instantly shattered Chen Fang's armor.
He himself was pierced through like tofu, collapsing limply to his knees. His swollen body, along with his life force, deflated like a balloon.
A single, decisive blow.
Xia Wuyou sheathed his sword and closed his eyes in anguish.
"……sorry."
-------------------------------------
"Fantastic, absolutely fantastic!"
Another convoy of trucks slowly drove up. Xu Shi was half-reclined in his seat, enjoying the live footage from the drone while browsing information about Xia Wuyou.
Name: Xia Wuyou
[Position: Leader of Team 3, Field Operations Department, "Snake Ring"]
[Ability: Gravity manipulation (range of effect is five meters in radius of the user)]
[Ability Rating: A]
"What an amazing ability..." Xu Shi couldn't help but admire.
It has to be said that it's really satisfying to watch these intuitive, outward-facing superpowers, and the clean and efficient combat is also very pleasing to the eye.
At this moment, Xia Wuyou possessed a captivating charm that surpassed her usual attire.
The leather combat suit and lightweight exoskeleton are a perfect match, and the mask covering her face and the alloy blade at her waist make her look like a Valkyrie on the battlefield.
Indeed, bodysuits are the best.
Sending her alone to intercept the deserters was naturally a test for Xu Shi.
This arrangement was not made out of concern, but rather to accelerate her moral decline.
"Indeed, I'll have to consider whether I need to reassess her abilities when I get back."
Su Lin, standing beside him, made no attempt to hide her affirmation.
Although she didn't have a good impression of her personally, she still recognized Xia Wuyou's abilities—since joining the "Snake Ring," she had never failed any mission she took on, regardless of its level.
"Speaking of which, if you, Su Lin, were to face her, what would your chances of winning be?"
With the dust settled, Xu Shi was in a great mood and casually asked a question after closing the control panel.
"...That's hard to say, after all, I haven't fought her before, and our strengths are different."
After a moment's thought, Su Lin replied, "But if she dares to do anything to you, I'm confident I can slit her throat the moment she's done it."
"Oh." Xu Shi said thoughtfully.
Each superpower has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the relationships between them are like a tangled mess.
Xia Wuyou is a vanguard type, unleashing devastating attacks once her domain is activated; Su Lin, on the other hand, is more of an assassin, appearing and disappearing unpredictably and impossible to defend against.
This is not a single type of soldier... and external factors also need to be considered.
Based on personal experience, combat terrain and such... even SS-rank doesn't mean absolute invincibility.
Even without considering complications, there have been countless "upgraded" individuals who have died from high technology over the years.
In Xu Shi's view, superpowers and technology are complementary.
The key is to grasp both aspects firmly.
He was also reluctant to tell Su Lin the truth—in the original story, she ultimately died at Xia Wuyou's hands… So tell me, who is more powerful?
However, such a thing is unlikely to happen now.
