"After being implanted with close-combat techniques, the new bioengineered soldiers had excellent melee capabilities. Their marksmanship had also improved greatly along with their enhanced physical abilities. Their overall combat power was several times greater than before!"
As he spoke, Colonel John stepped forward, took a rifle from one of the soldiers, and handed it to Chen Mo as he explained.
"Their weapons are a new type of energy rifle created by Dr. Zola by combining Chitauri energy weapons with HYDRA's original energy rifles. They are more powerful and have a higher rate of fire than the weapons originally equipped by Chitauri soldiers. Combined with the bioengineered soldiers' stronger physical abilities, they can unleash even greater power on the battlefield!"
HYDRA's original energy weapons used the Cosmic Cube's energy and depended too heavily on it. The Chitauri energy weapons, on the other hand, used an artificial energy source similar to Tony Stark's Arc Reactor. Although they were less powerful than HYDRA's spatial energy weapons, which could instantly incinerate a target, they did not rely on any particular energy source and could be manufactured without restriction!
Holding the energy rifle, which was slightly longer than an ordinary rifle, Chen Mo aimed its bladed muzzle at a steel target in the distance.
As Chen Mo pulled the trigger, a purple energy beam shot from the muzzle at high speed, striking the distant steel target in the blink of an eye.
The alloy steel target, which would only deform slightly when struck by rifle bullets, exploded directly after being hit by the beam. It shattered into a pile of metal fragments that scattered across the ground. Though this was slightly weaker than the original spatial energy weapons, it was more than enough against the Outriders. With their physical toughness, being hit meant certain death!
