Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Several more resounding slaps followed.
Chen Yuan seemed to have gotten tired of fighting and finally stopped.
He shook his wrists (actually, the suit provided cushioning, so he wasn't tired at all), and simply let out a long breath.
"call……"
The twisted, sickly look and anger on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an almost languid and contented smile, as if he had just finished a refreshing workout.
"Ah, I feel so relaxed and comfortable after the fight. I feel so good. Ah, this world is so wonderful."
After saying that, Chen Yuan turned and left with satisfaction.
In the main control room of the base, the electronic voice of Loongson calmly rang out.
[Special Biological Containment Unit: Live Snake-Dog (Standard Type) Status: Moderate stress response, abnormal vital signs are stable, life support systems are functioning normally.]
Chen Yuan ignored him. He was in a good mood, thinking that he finally had a pet in the wasteland world that he could talk to and interact with every day.
Indeed, one should not eat too much.
……
Early the next morning.
Inside the specially made cage, the snake-dog, which was locked up and unable to move, seemed to sense something. Its scarlet pupils suddenly contracted, its body instinctively tensed, and its head, which was lying on the ground, immediately rose up.
It recognized the footsteps; it was the madman coming.
"Bang!"
The cell door was violently opened (the access permissions had already been set).
Good morning, my little puppy!
Chen Yuan's voice, transmitted through a voice changer, carried a deliberately crafted, chilling "enthusiasm."
Before the snake-dog could react, a silver shadow flashed by.
"boom!"
With his right foot covered in nano-alloy, carrying the aftershock of an 800% power boost and the force of gravity, he slammed into the side of the snake dog like a battering ram. The immense force was transmitted through the sturdy bone armor, sending the snake dog flying off the ground like a tattered sack.
Wuhu, take off! (Kicks the vehicle away)
But the next second, the energy binding chains wrapped around its limbs and neck suddenly taut and stretched straight, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.
"Woooo..."
The snake-dog was forcibly pulled back and slammed heavily onto the cold alloy cage bottom, its internal organs seemingly displaced, indicating injury.
The chains dug deep into his flesh, even turning slightly red from the sudden, immense force of the pull.
"Oh dear, poor little one, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
Chen Yuan waved his hand exaggeratedly, his tone as gentle as if he were coaxing a child, but he had already leaned in and said, "You have your master with you. You have to be a brave dog. When you face fear, you have to overcome it. Come on... let your master help you practice your courage."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan's fists were already covered with high-frequency oscillating nanopulse power, turning into two silver fist shadows.
"Ora...Ora...Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!!!"
Chapter 40 Improving Efficiency
A barrage of fists rained down on the snake-dog's head, shoulders, and ribs, which were chained and unable to dodge.
Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
The dull thud echoed like a drumbeat in the closed cage.
The nano-alloy collided rapidly with the mutated bone armor, sparks flying everywhere. Although it could not cause fatal injuries, the terrifying shock and the intense pain from the pure physical impact made the snake-dog's vision go black, its brain dizzy (partially blocked by the muzzle), and its body convulsing violently as if electrocuted under the restraint of the chains.
After throwing over a hundred punches, Chen Yuan's movements didn't stop; he transformed his fists into palms.
"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"
With a swift left and right slap, a series of resounding blows landed on the snake-dog's face.
The snake-dog's head was thrashed wildly from side to side like a rattle drum, its scarlet eyes completely losing their ferocity, leaving only pain, humiliation, and a trace of bewilderment.
"call……"
Chen Yuan finally stopped, as if he were practicing Tai Chi, and finished his work.
"Tsk, I feel so comfortable all over. Daily practice is really good for strengthening the body and improving health. Helping my pet is a joy, it's truly a meritorious deed, immeasurable heavenly deity!"
Like an idiot, Chen Yuan solemnly clasped his hands together, bowed slightly to the air, and said, "Amitabha..."
The snake-dog in the cage: "..." (If consciousness could kill, Chen Yuan would have been reduced to ashes ten thousand times over.)
After doing all this, Chen Yuan left the cage with satisfaction and headed towards the clean area.
Brush your teeth and wash your face slowly and deliberately, enjoying the clean feeling brought by the cool water.
Then, he redeemed a hearty steak breakfast and leisurely finished it.
Finally, he even went so far as to activate the base's circulating water shower system and take a thorough hot shower to wash away sweat that didn't even exist.
Stepping out of the bathroom, Chen Yuan felt refreshed and full of energy.
"Super Beast... Armed!"
With a shout, the nano-steel suit is donned once more.
Chen Yuan walked to the entrance of the mecha passage, where Iron Guard No. 1 and No. 2 were already waiting quietly by his side, their blue light from their eyepieces steady.
"Loongson, play Battle Song Library No. 7!"
Chen Yuan, full of confidence, gave the order.
[Command confirmed, playing: Thunderstruck (Epic Orchestral Remix)]
The exhilarating, epic, and metallic symphonic rock music exploded inside the helmet in an instant.
The drumbeats strike the heart like a warhammer, the strings sound like a battle horn, and the electric guitar's ripple riffs ignite every fighting nerve.
"Let's go hunting!"
Chen Yuan laughed loudly, and blue-white flames erupted from the thrusters beneath his feet. The three figures, like beasts breaking free of their shackles, rushed out of the base and flew into the gray sky.
The rousing background music started, and the loud noise attracted many Devouring Beasts along the way, which ran on the ground and chased after Chen Yuan and Tie Wei.
Soon, Loongson locked onto its target: an old subway station entrance inhabited by hundreds of spinal worms and a small number of snake dogs.
The three people (A) crashed into the station square like meteors, just as the climax of the music began.
"Iron Guards, clear the area! The Spine Worm is yours!"
Chen Yuan's voice trembled with excitement in the background music.
【Command confirmed! 】
Iron Guard 1 and 2 moved swiftly like gray whirlwinds, their two electromagnetic laser swords flashing blue light as they plunged into the surging swarm of spineworms.
Wherever the sword light reached, the fragile spine worms burst open.
Chen Yuan, on the other hand, was completely immersed in the music and the battle, his electromagnetic laser sword seemingly transformed into a divine weapon.
"Triple Slash!"
Chen Yuan recalled the skills from the game he played on Earth, and with a low shout, he used his thrusters to accelerate a short burst of speed.
His figure transformed into a silver Z-shaped flash!
The laser sword in his hand flashed three yellow streaks as he charged, slicing the three attacking snake-dogs into several pieces.
"Iron Guard No. 1, take the fall!"
With a strange cry, Chen Yuan, on his way to a large snake-dog, suddenly slid to the side and landed precisely on the broad shoulder armor of Iron Guard No. 1, who was swinging his sword to block and attacking from the other side.
Using the momentum, Chen Yuan leaped high into the air like a gymnast, completing a graceful 360-degree spin. His laser sword, with the force of a downward descent, slashed down at the head of the snake-dog below, like a silver dragon's claw.
With a single slash, the snake-dog's head snapped open.
The moment he landed, he didn't even look back. He made a slight adjustment to the thrusters under his feet and smoothly glided back to Iron Guard No. 2, who had just dealt with a group of spineworms.
"Back to back, cross attack!"
Chen Yuan unleashed some flashy attacks, and with his signature background music playing, he felt like a god of war.
In fact, to outsiders, he was just making an awkward dance.
The way Chen Yuan sees himself and the way others see him are two completely different things.
With a slash, Chen Yuan precisely pierced the core of a snake-dog that was sneaking up on Iron Guard No. 2's lower back. At almost the same time, Iron Guard No. 2 used his laser sword on his left arm to draw an arc and kill another spine-worm that was pouncing on Chen Yuan's flank.
The coordination was seamless and fluid.
A flurry of actions, as fierce as a tiger...
Like a dance step that has been practiced a thousand times.
Although the Iron Guard's movements were still somewhat stiff and mechanical, they miraculously blended into the rhythm full of violent aesthetics under the guidance of Chen Yuan, the "soul dancer," and the background music. Mechanical swordsmanship?
Chen Yuan's coordination improved more and more in battle; his dodging, rushing, blocking, and counter-attacking were all done perfectly.
The electromagnetic laser sword in his hands was like an extension of his arm, wielded with ease. Combat was no longer a simple matter of survival, but more like a way to hone his swordsmanship.
After his battle with Boss Bai, Chen Yuan was acutely aware of the flaws in his unorthodox fighting style.
As the last snakehound was reduced to ashes by Iron Guard 1's finishing blow, the music came to an end.
"Cool!!!"
The battle ended, and Chen Yuan grinned.
"Loongson, calculate points and mark the next energy reaction point."
Without intending to stop and rest, Chen Yuan gave the order to continue searching for the target.
Before long, the Dragon Core Team 3 appeared at the extinguished volcano and began a bloody massacre of the surrounding Devouring Beasts.
……
Every morning, the first thing Chen Yuan does is "tease" the adorable dog, then brush his teeth, wash up, eat breakfast, and fly out of the base with Tie Wei to hunt down Devouring Beasts and earn as many points as possible.
