Demon Mountain, an elite of the mother city, is among the top three in terms of strength, even in the entire security force.

The top three is just a humble way of putting it; in terms of combat power alone, he is the number one in the legion.

The reason he was willing to switch from the regular army to this place, besides the generous salary offered by the headhunter, was largely because it was a good place to make contributions.

In his eyes, every radiated beast was part of his medal.

However, this beast tide caused him repeated setbacks.

He was upgraded from an A-level beast tide to an S-level beast tide, but was tricked by two beasts and suffered a great loss.

While inspecting the battlefield, he was ambushed by several radiation-evolving creatures, sustaining serious injuries and having to return to recuperate.

The flying behemoth, which should have been easily captured, was thwarted by the appearance of the "giant Kun".

The front lines had just been pacified when fire broke out in the rear, as a fellow officer betrayed the security forces and defected to a terrorist group.

He finally managed to shift the blame, but who would have thought that the usually obedient mechanical hunter would give him a "surprise".

If he had the time, he would have liked to get his fortune told using big data analysis. Was this lousy place incompatible with his birth chart? Why were one unlucky thing after another happening non-stop?!

Mo Shan glared fiercely at Gao Gong. He desperately wanted to give an order to raze this place to the ground. He was absolutely certain he could do it. What did a few hundred elite beasts matter? Even if he only deployed half of his forces, he could win without a doubt.

However, once this battle is over, there's no need to fight the beast tide anymore; we can proceed with a "strategic retreat."

This kid's influence isn't huge, but it's not insignificant either; it's just right in a way that makes people extremely uncomfortable, and he's truly annoying.

"What's wrong? Didn't you want to talk to me? Why are you silent now?"

The senior engineer narrowed his eyes, about to speak, when a pitch-black fist appeared in front of him.

"Bang!!!"

A shockwave rippled through the air, shattering the surrounding glass objects.

"Defeat this general, and we'll discuss any terms!"

The senior engineer crashed into the wall behind him, causing most of the wall to collapse.

Kemp sighed; his boss really had the same temper as before.

The next moment, countless cracks appeared on the mud and rocks piled up on the ruins, and a loud explosion suddenly came. The senior engineer walked out with a dark face, and the blood armor on his two arms was covered with cracks.

Fortunately, I had been keeping "Mirror Still Water" on all the time, otherwise I would have been disfigured.

A punch at three times the speed of sound—no wonder he's a formidable opponent comparable to a Grand Knight. I wonder how many specializations he's cultivated within his "Military Leader Template."

"You just said that as long as I beat you, anything is negotiable?"

Under the influence of the 'A-level' radiation field, the crack in the engineer's arm quickly healed, which surprised Mo Shan.

Just as he was about to say something, he met the senior engineer's gaze, which instantly turned icy cold, as if he were immersed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Even with his strong will, his body couldn't help but stiffen slightly. At the same time, the radiation power of five hundred elite beasts converged instantly, and the black tide once again engulfed everyone.

If the other party is a player, you can clearly see that they have been afflicted with more than a dozen negative status effects, such as "Weakness", "Mental Suppression", "Reduced Bioenergy", "Disorder of Facial Senses", "Energy Burning", and "Radiation Damage".

However, a boss template is a boss template. The next moment, fifty-six energy nozzles suddenly burst out from the opponent's beast armor, and the violent high-temperature particle stream instantly dispersed the surrounding radiation.

However, a sense of vigilance suddenly arose from the bottom of her heart.

The senior engineer appeared in front of him without him noticing, half-crouching, his hands forming a knife shape, and the pair of iron-bone wings on his back folded up.

Four-Sword Style Draw Slash!

"Radiation field control" naturally includes "air control," and the senior engineer created four "air blade sheaths" for himself.

Four white lines appeared in mid-air, and four explosions rang out simultaneously.

Demon Mountain only had time to protect his face before he was slashed away by the senior engineer, and the iron gate was smashed to pieces.

To everyone's astonishment, the number one expert in the Motor City—no, the number one expert in the Central Desert—was knocked away by the "humanoid war beast."

Fortunately, the Mountain didn't lose too much face. As the particle stream from the energy nozzles canceled out the power of the four sword-drawing slashes, he finally landed safely.

[You dealt 54 armor damage to General Tiger Mountain]

[You dealt 37 armor damage to General Tiger Mountain]

[You dealt 24 armor damage to General Tiger Mountain]

[You dealt 63 armor damage to General Tiger Mountain]

"Damn it, it didn't even break through!"

Like the senior engineer, the knife wounds on Mo Shan's body are also slowly healing.

The bio-armor under the "complete technology" is at least at the level of "black technology", or even "epoch-making".

Reaching the "epoch-making" level of equipment means breaking through the upper limit of a first-level civilization and reaching the level of a second-level civilization.

A Type II civilization, also known as a multi-planetary civilization, is capable of building extraterrestrial bases and colonizing other planets.

Equipment of this level has the capability to conduct operations in outer space.

From the ruins of the gate, the senior engineer slowly walked out. His body swelled up once again, reaching nearly three meters in height. Like Fatty Xiang, countless veins throbbed on his skin. After his body swelled, the blood armor could only cover his vital organs, not his entire body.

The senior engineer's face was flushed and contorted, even showing a hint of pain.

"Awoooo..."

The blood armor on the shoulder blade shattered once again, and another pair of two-meter-long iron bone blade wings squeezed out. The new nervous system underwent its first bioelectric stimulation. The bone wings trembled first, then slowly unfolded, stirring up a wisp of wind and shaking off the mucus on them.

"What the hell is that?!"

Even Demon Mountain was shocked. Could this guy really be a "humanoid war beast"? Was that bio-modification technology really that powerful?

The senior engineer grinned maliciously, took a deep breath, and the black radiation energy transformed into long strands of energy that wrapped around his body.

The next moment, the two nearly three-meter-tall monsters sprang up at the same time, their fists and claws colliding violently. A shockwave visible to the naked eye emanated from the point of attack, and the next moment, a crane weighing several tons in the vicinity was overturned.

Everyone around stopped breathing, and all the living people within a hundred meters fainted.

It felt like two Class A radiated beasts were fighting each other!

Daisy's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly shouted, "Everyone! All mechanical beast units, retreat immediately! Retreat immediately!"

Unfortunately, it was already a bit too late. Once again, the Mountain, who had been knocked away, grabbed the "cannon trunk" of a cannon elephant with one hand. Fifty energy nozzles suddenly appeared on his back, and the Bio-engineered Armor once again exploded into supersonic speed. At this initial speed, the Mountain swung his arm, and the several-ton giant elephant was smashed alive into the engineer.

"You pig, tell me, what do you think you are!"

The senior engineer's claws also landed on a one-horned rhinoceros, and with a sudden leap, the rhinoceros let out a miserable scream.

The senior engineer reappeared in mid-air.

The "Mirror of Still Water" technique was activated once again. The four blades were like a butcher dissecting an ox, making no sound, and the "Qi Cannon Elephant" was cut into more than a dozen pieces of meat.

Amidst the surging blood, the massive figure of the Demon Mountain reappeared, all energy nozzles concentrated on his right fist, making it resemble an energy bomb.

In fact, the power of this punch far exceeded that of an energy bomb of the same size.

One kilogram of TNT can generate 4.2 million joules of energy, which is about ten times that of an energy bomb of the same volume. The Mountain's punch is ten times the energy of an energy bomb, equivalent to a miniature nuclear bomb.

A huge "cannon blast" rang out, and the senior engineer's figure, defying the laws of physics, stopped charging forward and moved half a meter to the side, perfectly dodging the opponent's "high-energy reaction punch." At the same time, a terrifying explosion sounded behind him.

Apart from the two corpses of Class B behemoths, the entire factory was razed to the ground.

The senior engineer's blade snapped back and forth like a spring knife, cutting right into his abdomen.

[You dealt 234 armor damage to General Tiger Mountain]

[You dealt 54 damage to the Mountain]

"Have you broken down?"

The engineer was overjoyed, but the next moment, a huge foot appeared in front of him and kicked him hard in the abdomen.

The next moment, the senior engineer shot backward like a cannonball, crashing into the security legion's camp. It seemed as if his back hit something, and six clouds of blood mist appeared out of thin air.

"Answer me, you pig!"

The terrifying figure of Demon Mountain descended once more, but the senior engineer's figure had vanished, leaving only the aftershocks of dust from the explosion.

"This is--"

Demon Mountain narrowed his eyes, and his figure disappeared once again.

To outsiders, it appeared as two figures flashed by, disappeared, reappeared, and disappeared again, with the sound of an explosion in the air only ringing out much later.

The naked eye simply can't keep up with the other person's speed!

"Impossible! How could this be!"

"How could anyone possibly fight that monster, the Mountain!"

"General Tiger, Demon Mountain, wasn't he transferred here to deal with the Class A radioactive beasts?"

The soldiers were already so surprised, not to mention the mechanical hunters.

"The limit, he broke the limit!?" A mechanical hunter from another oasis stared in disbelief.

"No, it's not just breaking the upper limit, it's breaking through to a new level!" The uniformed hunter's eyes were filled with fervor.

"I see it! I see a new road!" exclaimed the cowboy hunter on the plasma horse.

"Is it really possible for someone to do this? Through biological mutation?"

Daisy was the most surprised, because she was the mechanical hunter who broke the hunter's ceiling.

Her entire body of electronic spider eyes rotated simultaneously, barely managing to keep up with the two of them.

But the more this is the case, the more you understand the terror of a senior engineer.

They're not even in the same league!

She and Gao Gong are both mid-generation hunters with similar backgrounds and are quite familiar with each other.

It's fair to say that the high-achieving engineer before being transported to another world couldn't defeat Daisy.

Although the senior engineer has a wealthy woman as a backer, there are only two wealthy women.

Behind Daisy Laura lies the legacy of an entire family.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the gap between the two will continue to widen. Once Daisy reaches the Hunter's limit and her strength stagnates, the first Senior Engineer will gradually catch up.

However, after a series of unexpected events, Daisy suffered a severe blow, but also experienced a phoenix-like rebirth.

Whether out of gratitude for being saved or for being reformed, she had already given up competing with the senior engineer for leadership.

But she still wants to compete for the title of the number one mechanical hunter.

However, the senior engineer's current behavior is undoubtedly telling her, "Go ahead and compete, I've already switched to a new server."

Unlike the Demon Mountain, every time the engineer moves, an explosion will occur.

Finally, the instant the 3D Maneuver Gear was activated, Demon Mountain appeared in the direction of the nozzle, grabbed the monomolecular rope, and pulled hard, dragging the engineer over alive.

"The 'rainy night with a knife' mode has actually been broken!"

The senior engineer had a sudden thought, but after a series of exchanges, he had already stacked his 'killing power' to the maximum. With fifteen layers of attack power, plus 15 randomly added attribute points, he was even stronger than when he had just fought.

He exerted force in his waist and abdomen, and then this immense power spun at high speed, causing his four bladed limbs and two bladed arms to simultaneously unleash the "Sword Dance," and it was a sword dance under the "Mirror Still Water" state.

The next moment, a massive storm of blades erupted in mid-air, with tornado-like blade lights covering the sky, even stronger than the old version of the Reaper Commander!

After countless exchanges of blows, the mission notification finally sounded.
