[You move through it, rushing at near-sonic speeds of 300 meters per second towards the nearest artillery battalion outside the city, causing the entire artillery zone within a three-kilometer radius to shift as well.]
However, the journey involves changes of direction, lateral movement, and even reversing, all to avoid the primary bombardment area. Therefore, your forward speed is approximately 100 meters per second.
Three minutes later, the artillery battalion commander, still ten kilometers away, began screaming: "Cease fire! Cease fire! The shelling is ineffective against him!"
Although the shelling is controlled by an intelligent system, the positions clearly still need to be guarded by humans.
These personnel can use exoskeletons in combat when necessary, but looking at the area of artillery fire rapidly approaching in the distance, and the ground you walked across in the video, which had dropped more than ten meters in altitude...
They don't have the confidence to drive those Chinese-equipped exoskeletons unscathed through gunfire, just like you.
Five kilometers from the artillery barracks, the artillery fire ceased, and a gigantic holographic projection, hundreds of meters high, was projected from the barracks gate.
"Stop in your tracks, don't make the same mistake again."
[A middle-aged man appeared in the projection. He was one of the directors of the conglomerate's headquarters, an absolute big shot, one level higher than the branch manager. With a single word, he could determine whether a city would be cut off from water, electricity, and food, plunging over a million people into hell.]
The man stared at you and said, "You must be Yun Shou, the one who's been keeping a low profile among the three. We haven't paid any attention to you for over a year, but we never imagined you were the one who was hiding the truth the most."
"Based on your performance just now, we've reassessed your value." The man smiled. "We highly value talent, and we have different tolerance levels for different levels of talent."
"Xu Wen's previous murder of the Sixth Branch Chief, and your resistance just now, can all be downplayed and forgiven."
[On the projected screen, a middle-aged man spreads his arms wide: "We are the Dawn Consortium. We represent the rising East. We are everything on this planet, the future of everyone!"]
You arrive at the front of the artillery camp, look up at the projection, and think to yourself, "Is this really necessary?"
"If he really stops there and treats me like an honored guest... I'd really feel bad continuing."
[For the past year or so, you've been supporting the two siblings as they grow, level up, and seek revenge. Although you haven't fallen behind in your own leveling up, you only spent a little over a year retraining before advancing to the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm within the Machine Manipulation system.]
[But throughout that entire process, you were ultimately escaping and hiding from pursuers. Although you didn't suffer any injustice, the act of fleeing itself constitutes an injustice on your part.]
"But you did it yourself."
[You're like Cun Zhi, suppressing the thrill of an immediate counterattack and delaying gratification. Now you've finally unleashed your power, ready to single-handedly take down the world, but what if the other party suddenly begs for mercy...]
[You're not some old giant shark; you really can't do something so heinous, killing for the sake of killing.]
You ponder: "The real villain who offended the siblings was the branch manager, Wu Litian, and this conglomerate actually helped them get rid of Wu Litian."
"Although the subsequent manhunt was intense, we could cleverly pin the blame on Wu Litian. The conglomerate even imposed restrictions on him... If their headquarters could apologize for this and allow the three of us to legally travel to the airspace, I might be magnanimous enough to forgive them."
Then you hear the middle-aged man say, "Kneel down and pledge your allegiance."
【"???"】
"Work diligently for the conglomerate, and if you pass the loyalty test after ten years, you might even have a chance to get a spot in the airspace!"
【You: (?▼Benefit▼)】
[A shaped charge projectile passes through the projection and detonates on a gun emplacement in the military camp behind it.]
"You! Who do you think you rejected...?"
[You then unleash another heat beam at the projector, causing the projection to dissipate.]
Then he swaggered into the artillery camp, destroying everything in sight, including the exoskeleton soldiers who recklessly charged forward.
"Why risk your life for a few thousand credits a month?"
"These few thousand credits are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, but considering that only first-level exoskeletons can operate them, it's not much money."
[With two minutes to spare, you leave the artillery camp, behind you a devastated wasteland.]
"Hmm, anything else?" You looked up. Before you were no longer scattered bounty hunters rushing towards you, but rather a well-organized army of exoskeletons.
Clearly, after a few minutes of bombardment, the conglomerate realized that the barrage of fire wouldn't take you down, so they changed their strategy.
"Only an exoskeleton can defeat an exoskeleton!" Behind the scenes, the former middle-aged director clenched his fist.
The conglomerate hasn't encountered such provocation or suffered losses of this magnitude in many years.
[They initially thought it was just three tiny ants, easily crushed with a finger, but they unexpectedly transformed into a vicious dog, tearing apart their outstretched hands that tried to tame them!]
"Then the only option was to grab a wooden stick and beat this disobedient dog to death!"
This exoskeleton legion is the true core force of the Sixth Branch, consisting of 300 standard soldier armors with a function level of 1, 50 standard general armors with a function level of 5, and 10 royal armors with a function level of 20!
Individually, their combat abilities may not match those of wandering exoskeleton hunters or local garbage kings, but when they cooperate, they can achieve a synergy greater than the sum of their parts!
"..."
Yes, a normal 1.5-level exoskeleton can easily overpower two or three 1.0-level opponents, but he was defeated by two such corporate/military exoskeletons working together!
"These guys have some features that my War Dragon doesn't possess." You've unexpectedly decided to continue updating the War Dragon series. In the previous ten generations, you've transformed it into a near-perfect dream armor, and it hasn't been updated for three months now.
"A scumbag driver who only had a three-month honeymoon period with his dream car."
However, you quickly abandoned that idea.
"It's because I'm focused and reluctant to make changes, not because those features only produce significant effects when used by large groups of people."
You shook your head, dismissing the rest of your thoughts, and asked the exoskeleton army ahead, "Are you sure you want to fight me?"
The next second you jump away from your spot, and countless laser beams engulf your original position.
[It's another battle, or rather, a war.]
A war between one person and 360 people.
