From the Abyss of Stars Part 1

117. Evil Spirit Castle

117. Evil Spirit Castle

Azure Star, West Fourth District, four in the afternoon.

P-205 Shelter.

Abyss Humanitarian Headquarters Laboratory.

"Alarm! High-energy intrusion! Warning! High-energy intrusion——"

The continuous alarm was abruptly silenced as the thrown object shattered it, accompanied by the flickering red warning lights, intensifying the atmosphere.

Li Aozi and Du Zexin walked through the door, greeted by dozens of special bio-soldiers.

Compared to the previous factory assembly line products, these guards blocking the "treatment room" of the Calamity Armament infected were evidently more elite, heavily armed.

Besides some heavily armored units holding 20mm heavy machine guns suppressing them with alloy storms, there were even invisible snipers loading depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds in their anti-material rifles, shattering Du Zexin's moving cover.

Additionally, there were some with white armbands on their arms, acting as commanders, making the other bio-soldiers react very quickly.

Ammunition depleted rapidly, Du Zexin put away the Magnum explosive gun and switched to a live ammunition rifle.

"The professor is deliberately depleting our strength."

Du Zexin hid behind cover, throwing out two kamikaze drones, which sped into the crowd and exploded, instantly blasting five or six bio-soldiers to the ground.

Li Aozi seized the opportunity, activating 【Iterative Movement】, instantly teleporting through the barrage, swinging his long knife, performing a draw slash, slicing open a commander's neck, and then teleporting to the sniper's position, grabbing the sniper's head, using 【Directional Blast】 to instantly shatter the brain within the skull.

Du Zexin, not a turret-style 【Mechanic】, influenced by traditional thinking on Azure Star, created only drones and electronic swarms.

These bio-soldiers didn't use chip processors, so he couldn't upload a virus to hack them and had to clear them one by one the old-fashioned way.

Li Aozi rolled to the ground, almost losing his footing, sitting behind cover at the other end of the corridor, throwing a throwing knife to kill a sneaking bio-soldier, grumbling:

"This should be the professor's last army. Give me more time, I can take them all out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a grenade exploded beside him.

Boom!

The gravity field opened in time, deflecting much of the impact, but a fragment too close grazed Li Aozi's face scarf, which would have injured and disfigured him if not for the indestructible clothing feature.

"Damn it, fuck!"

Li Aozi cursed.

"These guys' tactical awareness has surpassed the professional soldiers of the Frost-Plated Republic, reacting extremely quickly. Without armored units, we can't push through."

Busy fighting, Du Zexin didn't pay attention to Li Aozi's clothing issue, turning around to sweep a burst with the VK rifle, AI correction making 31 bullets precisely hit the same spot on the heavy machine gunner's helmet, accumulating penetration power, finally breaking through the ultra-strong aramid fiber and titanium alloy plate, the hardened steel core bullet penetrating the brain within the skull, the heavy-armored soldier crashing down, his heavy body fixed by the armor, standing dumbly in place.
