Chapter 193
"Then naturally we'll give it weapons, and the bullets will come from our energy reserves."
"Whoa..."
Without saying a word, Xiao Huasheng conjured two Barrett and placed them directly in the body's hands.
Then, with the red-haired Angel fully pulling the right analog stick, the body spun around, holding two Barrett horizontally.
The Foundation's war continues.
Deep within the heavily insulated containment zone, the battle between the Patriot and Entity-682 has reached a fever pitch.
"Boom!"
Another thick blast-proof wall was reduced to dust upon impact.
Patriot's halberd once again tore through 682's newly formed, metallic-sheen scales, sending up a spray of dark green, corrosive blood.
But 682's counterattack became increasingly fierce. It adapted to the halberd's slashing trajectory, and its thick tail swept towards Patriot's lower body as if it had been predicted, forcing him to parry with his shield, producing a deafening impact.
Their battle was already known to everyone.
Patriot was also increasingly feeling that his attacks were becoming less and less effective. At least before he could cut off limbs from the lizard, but now it was clear that even making an incision was becoming much more difficult.
682's evolutionary ability is truly abnormal. Its tissues become more resilient with each destruction, and its bone density also increases to withstand the heavy blows that split mountains and shatter rocks.
"Heh." 682 chuckled, enduring another piercing thrust from the halberd, and used his weight to knock Patriot off balance.
In the course of continuous battles, its mass also increased, now weighing two tons compared to when it could be knocked away by a halberd.
It wasn't in a hurry to kill Patriot; it simply leisurely watched the guy before it walk towards death.
After all, he was the one who started this whole thing, and now that Patriot are in this state, 682 is quite satisfied.
"Don't die, play a little longer," the giant lizard said maliciously, then gathered all its strength and rammed into Patriot.
Patriot quickly raised his shield to block! But the lizard's massive size made it impossible for Patriot to easily knock it away, and he could only be violently pushed back.
A massive shockwave erupted.
Boom!!!
Smoke and dust billowed into the air, the outside was cold, and fresh air rushed in instantly, replacing the murky smell of blood and gunpowder inside the facility.
Sunlight streamed down, illuminating the broken opening.
Outside the facility, countless helicopters hovered, along with a large number of military support troops.
Their cannons were simultaneously aimed at the giant and the behemoth, and the soldiers who were seeing this monster for the first time were all filled with horror.
The Patriot's massive body was propelled backward several meters by the force, his shield carving deep furrows in the ground before he could barely regain his footing.
He raised his head, his scarlet eyes peering through his mask into the distance.
The massive, scarred body of Entity-682 stood in a desolate quarantine zone outside the facility.
"Roar!!"
It raised its head and let out a long, hateful roar, the sound waves carrying far and wide, announcing that it had broken free of its cage.
They stormed out of the shelter!
The wind of the wilderness ruffled the thick fur of the Immortal Lizard, and the Patriot, standing before it, gripped his halberd and shield tightly.
The battlefield has shifted.
Without the constraints of the facility structure, this Immortal Lizard will grow to an unpredictable size.
Let's begin.
682 looked at Patriot with a mocking gaze, and in front of Patriot, its size increased dramatically until it was twice the size of Patriot before it stopped.
"Fire! Fire! All units, fire freely! Repeat, target Entity-682, fire freely!" The ground commander shouted the order at the top of his lungs.
In an instant, gunfire erupted across the open field!
The machine gun fire lashed at the massive body of the 682 like a violent whip, sniper rifle armor-piercing rounds were aimed at its eyes, and even man-portable rockets streaked away with trails of flame!
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Ta-da!
A hail of bullets and explosions instantly engulfed 682, and fire and smoke once again enveloped the area.
However, the vast majority of attacks struck the increasingly thick, even metallic-looking scales, achieving little more than sending up countless Mars and leaving shallow white marks.
Its evolution had long taken into account the threat posed by conventional human firepower.
And the Patriot moved at the very moment the order was given!
He knew full well that ordinary weapons were just a tickle to 682; the real pressure had to be borne by him!
His massive body unleashed a speed disproportionate to his size, his crimson halberd tearing through the air as he charged once more toward 682 with unwavering determination!
The halberd slammed down hard on 682's thick forelimbs, and this time, it produced a piercing metallic clang!
Although the scales were not completely broken, a deep cut was left, and dark green blood slowly seeped out.
However, 682 seemed completely oblivious to this.
Its vertical pupils, filled with pure malice, were fixed on Patriot, and it didn't even blink at the hail of bullets raining down around it!
"I've had enough fun!"
It let out a deafening roar, and its massive forepaws, carrying the force to crush everything, slammed down on Patriot like a heavy hammer!
Speed and power have increased by more than double compared to when they were inside the facility!
Patriot raise their shields to block!
Thump!!!!
A deafening roar, far more muffled and terrifying than any previous collision, exploded!
The ground beneath Patriot's feet cracked and sank instantly, his massive body lurched, and his shield-wielding arm creaked under the strain.
That wasn't all! 682's other forepaw followed closely behind, pounding against Patriot's shield like a pile driver!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Each impact forced the Patriot back a step, leaving a deep footprint in the ground.
He tried to swing his halberd to fight back, but 682 completely abandoned defense, letting the halberd add wounds to its body. All its attacks were focused on one point, using absolute power to completely crush the troublesome giant in front of it!
This can be seen as a punishment for the Patriot' defiant act of suppressing it within the facility.
Its goal is to defeat the opponent in their most prized area!
Anyone can be strong!
Patriot's towering, mountain-like body was completely suppressed in the first clash with 682's pure power!
After a flurry of attacks.
The Patriot was covered in blood, his shield arm broken off at some point, and he knelt motionless on the ground.
682 clearly noticed this.
"Hmph... Is that all?" Seeing how easily Patriot was defeated, 682 lost interest and raised its paw to finish off Patriot in front of it.
Just then...
Thump thump thump thump!
The terrifying sound of a bolt-action sniper rifle firing repeatedly rang out, and countless bullets rained down on 682!
Its body was instantly riddled with countless holes. Even armor-piercing bullets couldn't penetrate it now, yet it was torn open with a huge gash!
"What the hell?!" it couldn't help but roar, looking in the direction the bullet had come from.
A headless figure swung two Barrett rifles at it.
Then the two Barrett fired wildly, as if they were free, the bullets seemingly tracking and locking onto 682's head.
Brother, you've been sniping for a long time, what's wrong with firing a burst of bullets?
Chapter Fourteen: 682, Angel Rubs Your Back [1 Update]
One shot after another, and another one.
A continuous barrage of gunfire rang out, almost relentlessly striking 682.
The giant lizard was so angry at the sight of the spinning monster that could seemingly teleport without leaving a trace that it laughed out loud.
Just by looking at him, you could tell how incredibly strong he was.
"Damn it..." Smack! The lizard's mouth was smashed open.
"Damn it...!" Another bullet was fired at his mouth.
"I****,*****..."
The bullets continued to relentlessly fire at its mouth without stopping.
Obviously, this was far more damaging to a large lizard, and 682 simply couldn't accept that his body had been so easily torn apart by the two guns of a reptile.
Now, Xiao Huasheng, relying on his increased energy—four times that of before—can remotely dominate 682.
This opponent, who originally required Xiao Huasheng to go all out, has now become so vulnerable.
Xiao Huasheng, who was far away inside the facility, was holding a tablet and couldn't help but laugh as he watched 682's impotent rage.
"Hahaha, this giant lizard must be furious."
The red-haired Angel mocked her opponent mercilessly.
These two can be considered a pair of bickering lovers. They even cooperated in the first two timelines, but in the end, Xiao Huasheng blasted the giant lizard into the sky, and after that, the two became entangled.
Even now, Xiao Huasheng still wants to cause trouble for this giant lizard.
She manipulated the tablet, continuously swiping the rotating figure towards the direction of 682.
The two Barrett, enhanced by Reality Warping, were like two rapid-fire cannons with unlimited ammunition. Their ferocious firepower wove a deadly metal storm, firmly suppressing 682 in place.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
The bullets seemed to have eyes, accurately striking 682's eyes, mouth, joints, and other relatively vulnerable areas. Some bullets even cleverly penetrated deep into the wounds left by the Patriot's Halberd, causing bursts of tissue tearing and spurting of corrosive blood.
The monster spinning before him was no different from the one he had just encountered, and it completely overwhelmed 682, leaving him unable to lift his head.
682 attempted to charge, but as soon as it took a step, dozens of bullets struck the junction of its forelimbs and torso. The immense kinetic energy caused it to stagger, forcing the charge to a halt.
It tried to swing its tail in a sweeping motion, but the tail was shattered by a barrage of bullets as soon as it was raised, and it drooped limply.
"Roar!!!" 682 roared in extreme rage, it had never suffered such humiliation!
He was suppressed by firepower from a bizarre thing that had no head and could only spin, leaving him almost unable to move!
This made it feel even more frustrated and angry than if it had gone head-to-head with the Patriot.
Its crimson vertical pupils were fixed on the spinning figure, its desire for destruction stronger than ever before.
The most terrifying thing about 682 is never its power, but its almost unsolvable ability to adapt and evolve.
Under the continuous bombardment of bullets, drastic changes are taking place inside its body.
Its scales begin to secrete a slippery, non-Newtonian fluid-like mucus.
After the bullet hits the target, its kinetic energy is largely absorbed, and its penetrating power decreases sharply.
Its muscle fiber structure is also adjusting to become more flexible and elastic, enabling it to better cushion impacts.
Xiao Huasheng quickly noticed the abnormality.
The bullets hitting 682 no longer tore through flesh as easily as before. Instead, it was as if they had hit some kind of extremely tough rubber. Although they still left marks, the actual damage was negligible.
"Hmm? Angela, how come the giant lizard has changed so quickly? It's not what I expected," Xiao Huasheng muttered in confusion. The 682 in this world seemed much stronger than the 682s she had fought before.
If it were the previous one, it would probably have taken another minute to evolve the corresponding power, but this time was shortened by a full minute.
A minute can change a lot of things.
"Perhaps this is a minor discrepancy in the world. Maybe the world we were born into was quite primitive?" Angela thought it was because the map level had increased.
From the beginning when there was no Supreme Divinity, to the emergence of Supreme Divinity, and now to the point where humanity can suppress the slugs behind them so much they can't even lift their heads.
Clearly, the Foundation World they've been living in isn't static either.
Just as the two were discussing, 682, who had been suppressed, suddenly raised his head!
