The black-garbed man calmly sidestepped, raised his hand, and caught the Black Gun flying at high speed in his hand with a bang.
The drive unit of Lin Xian’s power armor below erupted with surging power, propelling him seven or eight meters forward. The electric surge in his hand flickered, and he mercilessly blasted it toward the black-garbed man’s face.
The man didn’t dodge. A mechanical mask appeared over his face, and the electric surge that struck it merely sparked twice, failing to pierce through the material of the mechanical mask.
Lin Xian beckoned with his hand; the magnetic control engine of the Black Gun roared, but it was held firmly in the man’s hand, unable to move.
The man glanced indifferently at Lin Xian while looking at the Black Gun, constantly shaking and trying to escape from his grasp.
"I heard you’re a Mechanical Superpower, yet you rely on these things. It’s neither one nor the other, completely contrary to the essence of evolution. Truly foolish."
Lin Xian showed no politeness and directly took out a remote control with his left hand.
Beep beep beep beep...
The man’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He turned the Black Gun over and unexpectedly found a silver mini-bomb attached.
The explosive detonated on the spot, flames shooting in all directions. The man was blown away, landing in a window of a collapsed wall below.
At this moment, Shu Qin also rushed out from the rubble, drew two pistols, and fired follow-up shots below.
Meanwhile, Lin Xian retrieved the Black Gun and swiftly dashed in the direction where the man had fallen.
From what the man had said earlier, Lin Xian was certain that this wasn’t an encounter with a bandit but a premeditated attack. He instinctively thought of someone from Dawn City.
If he had been tracked and attacked, it was highly likely that Infinity had been targeted as well. Thinking of this, Lin Xian became anxious and didn’t bother with further words with the opponent.
Swish, swish, swish, before he could get closer, several Wind Guns blazed a path.
But there was already no one under the window. As Lin Xian charged over, a gust of strong wind suddenly came from his side.
"Captain Lin, be careful!"
The man launched a sudden flying kick. His speed far exceeded Lin Xian’s reaction time, while the impact response system of the power armor had already detected it, retracting the left arm drive to make a defensive move.
The kick landed solidly on Lin Xian’s left arm. The force was so great that it almost felt like being struck by a Human Skull palm. Lin Xian was utterly shocked, and he was kicked flying.
At that moment, he bent his waist to gather strength, turned mid-air, and with the power armor’s assistance, made a perfect landing posture, avoiding a clumsy fall.
[Alert: Detected malfunction in Left Arm No.3 High-Agility Torque Drive.]
This time, the computer system of the power armor sent an alert.
Lin Xian’s expression showed slight surprise. The opponent’s kick didn’t reveal any superpower changes, much like an up-close attack made purely with Shu Qin’s body.
"No superpower, just one kick almost broke my power armor, what kind of monster is this..."
Even though the special industrial-type Active Exoskeleton Power Armor itself wasn’t designed with overwhelming defensive abilities, its metal structure wasn’t made in jest. Lin Xian got the illusion that this kick might have clashed head-on with the White Giant Monster.
In Qingshui Town, the Zombies were fierce.
On the rubble of buildings, countless zombies attempted to climb upward.
The man in the black robe, Lin Xian, and Shu Qin stood in a triangular standoff, both sides on the brink of confrontation. Lin Xian tightly gripped the Black Gun, watching the opponent’s movements, waiting for the next opportunity to strike.
He felt an immense threat, not just because of the opponent’s extreme speed, but because in all aspects, the opponent seemed ’extremely not human’!
In terms of speed, strength, and reflexes, the opponent surpassed any human foe he had ever encountered, even unable to pierce through with his electric surge, and not harmed by a close-range explosion.
At this moment, Lin Xian couldn’t discern the opponent’s nature, leaving him no choice but to act cautiously.
Shu Qin, hit by that punch earlier, felt pain in her viscera, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, constantly adjusting her breath, and staring fixedly at the man in black.
The man in black glanced back and forth between the two, then spread his hands and said after a moment:
"Don’t bother looking; I’m here to claim your lives."
Just as the man spoke, two Wind Guns swiftly attacked. The black-garbed man was directly struck, retreating two steps, letting out a light "Hmm".
It seemed he didn’t know Lin Xian had such a trick, and at this point, Shu Qin quickly drew her gun and fired, bang bang bang! The bullets hit the black-garbed man, producing sounds of metal colliding, clank clank~
At this point, Lin Xian suddenly realized that the black-garbed man was wearing a metallic full-body battle armor that seemed overly thin, its technology unknown.
The black-garbed man unhesitatingly stomped down, cracking a piece of concrete slab, and then charged toward Shu Qin.
It seemed he wanted a quick kill, and Shu Qin appeared easier to resolve in his eyes.
Buzz! The Black Gun shot out, the man in black eyed everything, his actions swift and efficient, kicking a brick towards Shu Qin while leaping up to grasp the Black Gun, audaciously intending to use Lin Xian’s Black Gun to kill Shu Qin!
Lin Xian rushed over rapidly, flipping his palm to control the magnetic control engine of the Black Gun in mid-air spin, simultaneously drawing out the GK03 electric knife with electric arcs flickering and blue light glittering.
The black-garbed man reached to grab but caught thin air, just as he intended to reverse the attack, he suddenly noticed a gray-white afterimage quickly approaching, its speed causing his expression to change immediately.
