Poison Scorpion

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A piercing whistle tore through the Firmament as the escort convoy flanking the Worldbreaker Heavy Armored Land Cruiser was instantly transformed into a blazing Furnace.

Thirty tracked infantry fighting vehicles, heavily armored, were destroyed in mid-air by a barrage of dozens of high-frequency electromagnetic shaped-charge rockets.

Before the surviving exoskeleton assassins could even pull the safety pin, they were torn to shreds by the bio-engineered giant claws that burst forth from the sandstorm. Blood and scum mixed with engine oil and internal organs were splattered onto the tilted observation window, emitting a pungent stench.

"Damn it! It's Prometheus's Death Soldier Legion! How could they possibly intercept Silent Cruise Route with such precision?!"

Lin Wei leaned against the twisted steel wall, cold sweat dripping from her forehead and splattering onto the cold outer shell of the Secret Casket.

Sizzle!

Without warning, a blinding arc of incandescent light burst from the ceiling of the VIP Cabin.

Three layers of special Tungsten Steel protective material, each half a meter thick, were neatly sliced open like butter under the high-temperature plasma hot-melt cutting blade.

A violent sandstorm, carrying radioactive dust hundreds of times higher than the standard, howled and poured into the narrow cabin, stinging people's faces.

Bang!

Two N, shrouded in eerie green poison, crashed down through the hole.

Those were two Biochemical Death Soldiers had completely abandoned their human form. Their bodies were covered with jet-black exoskeletons resembling mutated insects, and their forearms were directly fused with High-Frequency Particle Short Blade vibrated at high speeds, gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

Peak Third Tier!

The two Biochemical Death Soldiers' crimson compound eyes swirled, instantly locking onto the silver-white Secret Casket in Lin Wei's arms, and a beast-like growl emanated from deep within their throats.

Before Lin Wei could even hold her breath, the entire tilted cabin wall suddenly caved in and shattered!

Amidst the howling wind, a massive shadow, three meters tall, strode in with incredibly heavy hydraulic steps, crushing the scrap steel scattered on the ground.

Half of its body was a rough, exposed heavy Alloy skeleton, while the other half was a bluish-gray deformed dead flesh. Twelve dark green biochemical venom sacs pierced outward from its spine, and with each pulsation, a visible ring of corrosive acid mist was stirred up in the surrounding air.

Doctor Chu's trump card bio-weapon— Fourth-Tier Modified Human, Poison Scorpion.

"Hehehe... The Far East Chamber of Commerce is really getting more and more outdated."

The artificial synthesized voice generator inside the Poison Scorpion's chest cavity vibrated with a chilling metallic hum, and its mechanical double pupils swept over Lin Wei and Chen Fan, bursting into a piercing, mocking laugh:

"The dignified core-level genius of the Second Base City, Miss Lin Wei, actually expects a lowly commoner from the lower city who can't even afford a radiation shielding suit to escort her?"

"Is that old Old Ghost Song playing with Doctor Chu's life?!"

The temperature in the entire VIP Cabin suddenly rose to over sixty degrees Celsius due to the radiant heat emanating from the Poison Scorpion's body.

The absolute pressure of Fourth Tier Low Rank being swept out, and the steel deck was cracked inch by inch by the heavy mechanical grabber beneath its feet.

Lin Wei's body trembled violently uncontrollably.

She understood the horrors of Fourth Tier Biochemical Modified Humans better than anyone else.

It is a single-soldier weapon capable of tearing apart Third Tier beast horde head-on and even withstanding small tactical missiles.

It's over.

There is absolutely no way out.

Lin Wei bit her lower lip tightly, even tasting the blood seeping from it.

The next moment, a resolute look beyond her years flashed in her eyes. She slung the Secret Casket behind her back and pulled a small, silver High-Energy Pulse Gun from her Tactical Belt with her right hand.

Instead of running away, she took half a step forward and shoved the silent Chen Fan beside her toward the deformed escape gate!

"Get out of here! Don't get in my way!"

Lin Wei's clear voice was distorted with fear, but the gun was fixed on the Poison Scorpion's mechanical double pupils, which emitted a ghostly red light.

"Did you hear me, you peasant! I'm firing to detonate the gun's charging capacitor; it'll hold them off for three seconds! Roll down that gap into the Wasteland! Run as far as you can!"

Despite her trembling legs from fear, she stubbornly opened her arms, trying to shield Chen Fan with her petite body.

"The people of the Second Base City... they shouldn't be dragged down as scapegoats by an innocent civilian!"

Chen Fan remained unmoved despite her push, but his fingers, hanging at his sides, paused almost imperceptibly.

In this desolate Wasteland where human life is cheap and people even resort to cannibalism, a proud and arrogant young woman, on her deathbed, surprisingly thinks of giving her life to a chance encounter with a commoner from the lower city.

Chen Fan looked down at the Peace Knot woven by Chen Xi on his wrist.

Causal subtle movements.

The gentle Red Dust Dao Seed in his Sea of Consciousness rippled slightly because of the pure goodness of the girl before him, which had not yet been completely tainted by the radiation Wasteland.

"Interesting."

Chen Fan muttered something to himself in a very calm tone.

Upon seeing this, the Poison Scorpion opposite him let out a cruel mockery flash in its mechanical double pupils.

"What a deeply moving death scene."

Poison Scorpion brandished his heavy Biochemical Giant Pincers and coldly issued the order, "First, cut off that piece of trash's limbs. Don't let him die too quickly. I want this noble engineer to watch as the peasant she's trying to save is torn to pieces, and then, in front of him, I'll cut open his chest and take out the blueprints!"

"Hiss!"

Two Peak Third Tier assassins, who could no longer contain themselves, transformed into two streaks of ghastly green lightning that tore through the air!

The High-Frequency Particle Short Blades created sharp, ear-piercing sonic booms, striking Chen Fan's knee joints and throat from both the left and right at an angle with no blind spots!

It moved so fast that only two blurry green lines remained on Lin Wei's retina.

"Get out of the way!!"

Before Lin Wei could even pull the trigger, her eyes instantly turned red, and she closed them in despair.

She couldn't bear to watch the horrific sight of this Mortal Body boy being shredded into a bloody pulp.

However.

The expected sound of flesh and blood tearing apart did not occur.

In that instant, all the howling sandstorms, the distorting metallic sounds, and even the violent vibrations of the Worldbreaker's engine eerily subsided.

Instead, a very faint metallic scraping sound was heard.

Clang.

The rusty, broken Broken Saber, which was slanted into its tattered copper sheath at his waist, was silently pulled out an inch.

Just one inch.

There were no Superpower flames, no dazzling energy particles.

Only a vast, grayish-white current silently swirled along with the crumbling iron filings.

Within Chen Fan's body, the Extremity-Level Strength 60,000 jin, triggered by the Fourth Broken Genes Lock, mixed with the Origin Source Hidden Force of Upper Martial God, was released with a tremor along the blunt edge of the Broken Saber.

Two Peak Third Tier Biochemical Death Soldiers, who had pounced to within three feet of Chen Fan, were abruptly frozen in mid-air.

Their High-Frequency Particle Short Blades, capable of slicing through Alloy armor, shattered inch by inch upon contact with the grayish-white death aura, turning into a sky full of dim scrap metal fragments.

Immediately afterwards.

At the same time, a thin, grayish-white bloodstain, finer than a hair, appeared on the necks of both assassins.
