Sky-cracking Rider

Had they ever experienced real combat, they would have been able to distinguish themselves completely at this moment.

Someone like Chen Fei, a rule-breaker with unusually bold ideas, would still try his best to bring down the enemy from the sky even in a dire situation without ammunition. However, the people from Henghai Tactical Weapons Group had been in peace for too long, and were unaccustomed to these ruthless methods.

The only difference between "Dragon Guards" was the numerical codes on their chests and backs, but these numbers couldn't grow a human's appearance.

If it had been the folks from Aircrew Base, they would have certainly taken turns surrounding one of them to remove the tactical helmet for identification.

However, the members of Henghai Tactical Weapons Group did not think of this immediately, and, in a fit of hot-headedness, only focused on brawling, attempting to suppress others with brute force before checking if they were allies.

Yet everyone resembled fighting turtles with their ineffectual punch strength, displaying a wholly amateur skill as they swung their arms wildly. Naturally, it was impossible to tell apart Chen Fei who had blended into the chaos.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The nearby "Dragon Kings" noticed the disarray in their formation and hurried back immediately.

There were only two "Dragon Kings," not many, but they were the first to raise their railgun combat rifles, the barrels aimed at the "Dragon Guards" still embroiled in the chaotic battle.

The shooting range and penetration of the railgun combat rifle were remarkable; the first shot could destroy any individual tactical armor's local defense, and the second shot would pierce straight through from the chest to the back, placing it at the pinnacle of active light weaponry.

"All of you, stop fighting!"

One of the "Dragon Kings" approached the "Dragon General," who was still immobile.

"Hey, number 155, how are you holding up?"

Although unable to move, the lone tactical commander, "Dragon General," managed to speak, though his voice sounded muffled and jarred, as if speaking through a teacup.

"Hisss, I can't move, the motion assist components are fighting against me."

No matter which model of individual tactical armor, motion assist components were standard, able to immediately capture power buildup movements, combine them with neuron signals, and timely enhance the motion strength, providing a maximum output of up to 5 tons.

This system could add extraordinary power to a person's movements, but if it turned against the wearer, it could just as easily render them powerless.

"Your 'Dragon General' is malfunctioning, hold on...does anyone know how to repair individual tactical armor?"

The "Dragon King" turned his gaze towards the "Dragon Guards." Located at the headquarters of Henghai Tactical Weapons Group, technicians adept at fixing tactical armors should be more readily available here.

"Uh! I can, I do!"

A naive voice responded to the "Dragon King," as one of the "Dragon Guards" hesitantly raised his hand.

"Come here. Take a look at number 155."

The "Dragon King" waved him over.

The person stuck inside the "Dragon General" took extra precaution and asked a question.

"Which number?"

The "Dragon King" glanced at the numeral code on the approaching "Dragon Guard"'s chest and said, "Number 47."

"It's not him, the one who sneaked in is number 74!"

The person inside the "Dragon General" sighed in relief, thankful that the enemy wasn't brought closer.

The "Dragon King" asked the approaching "Number 47," "Do you need tools?"

"I need a data cable to diagnose one tactical armor from another."

As "Dragon Guard" number 47 stood beside the immobile "Dragon General" number 155, he gestured with his hand and a slender connector unexpectedly sprang from his wrist, aiming straight for the chin of the "Dragon King's" tactical helmet.

Yikes!

"Dragon King": "..."

Can I cuss?

If not, then there's nothing more to say.

Whether it's the "Dragon Guard," the "Dragon General," or the current "Dragon King," even the tactical armors used for naval and aerial combat all employ the same "Individual Tactical Intelligence Unit."

Even the "Dragon General," which is required to handle more battlefield data exchange, still doesn't utilize a more advanced hardware processor; the current hardware system is more than adequate to meet all computational needs.

The "Individual Tactical Intelligence Unit" tailored for each model of tactical armor is limited to its application software modules, driver systems, and additional plugin supports, etc.

This has allowed Henghai Tactical Weapons Group to save a significant amount in production costs.

However, this means that a vulnerability in the hardware and software system of one model of individual tactical armor often exists in other models as well.

However, similarly, a vulnerability in the software system of one model often exists in the software systems of other models as well.

"Click!"

The "Dragon King" couldn't move either.

Realizing this, the person clad in the armor roared desperately.

"He's the enemy!"

The "Dragon General" No. 155, lying on the ground, was completely dumbfounded. No. 74 was clearly the enemy, so how did No. 47 become one too?

Wait, why is there an extra No. 47 in my team?

Could it be that there's more than one enemy!

This isn't right!

Remembering all the codes within a temporarily formed combat team isn't an easy task.

This was based on the assumption that the opponents did not have individual tactical armor. However, many from Henghai Tactical Weapons Group, due to their fixed mindset, subconsciously overlooked another possibility.

"Where do you think you're running off to!"

Another "Dragon King," wary of hurting his own, immediately gave up his railgun combat rifle and with a roar, threw a fierce punch.

There were still seven or eight meters between them, yet it closed in an instant.

Thud!

A muffled sound, like hitting a bag.

The fists collided.

The "Dragon Guard" No. 47, not particularly known for solo combat strength, held his own in the punch exchange with "Dragon King" No. 13.

"Metal Shaping," "Material Evolution Simulation," and "Hi-Fi Replication" skills were once again linked!

In full view, "Dragon Guard" No. 47 actually transformed into "Dragon King" No. 13.

Wait, why are there two "Dragon King" No. 13s?

"Ah! Take another punch from me!"

"Dragon King" No. 13, realizing he had been perfectly copied and in an instant, was furious. Explore new worlds at empire

Harnessing all his strength, he launched another punch.

This strike's power was nearly on par with the terrifying burst strength Chen Fei had once registered on a punch strength tester, over two tons.

Thud!

The muffled sound grew louder.

However... no one stepped back.

Whether the original "Dragon King" or the counterfeit "Dragon King," both appeared evenly matched in strength, coming out in a draw.

"Ahhhh!"

"Dragon King" No. 13 threw punches faster and harder one after the other.

However, his opponent did the same.

It was as if there was a mirror on site, with "Dragon King" No. 13 swinging at his own reflection, swinging into loneliness.

Not just the surrounding "Dragon Guards," even those in the command center were vigorously rubbing their eyes.

Who exactly is Li Kui, and who is the Fake Li?

"Stop! The exercise… is over!"

The deputy general manager of Henghai Tactical Weapons Group, Zhao Liandong, unable to bear watching, declared the live-fire exercise concluded ahead of time.

Inside the testing field, "Dragon Guards," "Dragon Generals," and "Dragon Kings," still numbered over a hundred, yet the only opponent remained unharmed.

The other two deputy general managers exchanged glances, one of them said puzzledly, "Old Zhao, what's this?"

Zhao Liandong, primarily responsible for product development, replied with a bitter smile, "The exercise has reached a point where there's no point continuing."

He clearly understood. The 147 soldiers clad in advanced single soldier tactical armor were like 147 sheep in front of Chen Fei, no different from a flock of sheep, no matter how many there were, they were no match for a carnivorous beast.

One could almost predict that even if the temporary teams stopped spreading out, they would still be torn apart by various tactics, unable to organize a proper counterattack.

"Uh!"

The inquiring deputy manager, Song Wenshan, hesitated for a moment, then quickly grasped Zhao Liandong's thought.

To think a Metal Ability user could play so wildly, perfectly replicating the appearance of three types of single soldier tactical armor, whether "Dragon Guards," "Dragon Generals," or the most combat-capable "Dragon Kings," none were spared.

Even if the exercise had not been stopped, the subsequent battles would just be repeated time and again.

For the personnel of Henghai Tactical Weapons Group facing the opposition, it was like kindergartners being manhandled, truly, there wasn't much point to it.
