Ding ding ding bang clang!
"I'm dying! Someone's murdering a cute girl—"
Nomi screamed, but her movements were agile. She ducked and dodged the pouring bullets, then suddenly sprang forward like a white flash, smashing into an armored guard's chest. A fierce elbow strike hit the ballistic plate, causing a metallic cracking sound to echo in the corridor.
Crash—
The shattered steel plate couldn't fully absorb the force, and the exoskeleton's mechanical structure held the security guard in place, taking the heavy blow. The guard then raised a mechanical arm to grab the small-sized Nomi.
However, Nomi ducked, slipping through the guard's ribs, and kicked the spine. She skillfully dislodged the exoskeleton's safety shell and pulled out the hexagonal battery, triumphantly tossing it aside and making a face:
"Dumbass! I'm 1.52 meters tall, weigh 43 kilos, can you catch me?"
Without the battery, the guard's figure stiffened, collapsing under the weight of the exoskeleton.
In the narrow corridor, shooting could lead to ricochets and accidental injuries. The remaining guards quickly realized this, switching to sidearms or drawing combat knives to engage Nomi at close range, moving swiftly and smoothly.
"Come on! You think I'm scared of you?!"
Nomi tilted her head, dodging a shot to the head. Even with several 9mm bullet holes in her chest, she didn't pause, her bare feet stepping on the alloy floor as she swung the wrench, smashing the guard's head. With a loud clang, the carbon fiber helmet dented deeply, and Nomi skillfully pried it open with the wrench's teeth.
"Crack! Time to open the lobster—huh, what's this?!"
The helmet revealed not a human face but a cultivation tank embedded in the head, containing a brain filled with bubbles, wires, and electrodes.
This wasn't a living person.
Nomi shuddered in disgust, stepping back to avoid a knife swing, retreating quickly:
"Are you kidding me? I'm gonna puke—turning people into these abominations—typical of those Medics of the Plague!"
【You witnessed the biomechanical security, efficient and powerful, far surpassing ordinary soldiers. Even awakened fighters struggle against them. Yet, every technological advance is a silent testimony of blood and tears.】
【Exploration of 'Unremembered' increased】
【Current progress: 6.5%】
Li Aozi decided it was time to stop watching. Nomi was more capable than he expected. He planned to have the 19 Constitution 【Marauder】 girl take the frontline while he provided support.
But Nomi, with her excellent combat instincts and movements, had taken down two enemies and stopped the suppressive fire.
Judging by the combat panel, these 【Medics of the Plague Guards】 were around level 18, with armor values up to 140. Nomi seemed to have hidden skills that could bypass armor.
This girl was unexpectedly useful. This was good.
Initially, he didn't expect to participate much in the fight, just push the plot forward.
But now, with Nomi's considerable combat strength, he saw an opportunity for a big gain.
Li Aozi took a deep breath, stepping out from cover, his gray eyes glowing with a golden ring. Simultaneously, a suffocating pressure descended.
