“I have a battle plan.”

Li Mu, with his gun in hand, fired at the invaders who were coming like a tide while shouting to Li Mei beside him.

The power armor soon noticed him, and the machine gun’s shooting stirred up dust and dirt, causing chunks of earth to fall into the trench.

Retreating into the trench, he shouted to Li Mei, “Can you continue fighting with another shot of that penetrative psychic energy bullet?”

“Of course I can. Even if I can’t use the psychic energy bullet, I still have my sword and gun.” Li Mei glanced at her steel sword and answered. She swapped back to her original magazine and shot the eye of Bushegaro, causing several sparks on its scales.

Bushegaro that was creeping towards the outpost was frightened and re-coiled, still in shock.

Li Mu nodded, killing a marauder who was carrying a rocket launcher.

“Have you seen the graffiti on the front armor of the power armor?”

Li Mei’s face suddenly turned red and glared at Li Mu.

“Shooting at the front will hit the driver’s heart without damaging the main structure of the power armor.”

As a descendant of the Intervention Army, Li Mu was familiar with the battle regulations and weapon operation manuals collected at home. The memories in his mind gave him a complete understanding of the structure of the ZDB-88 power armor.

“And then?”

“Then I can charge over and take control of the power armor driven by Goldbeard. With the assistance of a power armor, it should be easy to kill that snake creature.”

After apologizing, Li Mu took off the bulletproof armor of a fallen soldier and put it on himself. Although the marauders, who were no different from a mob, would probably collapse immediately after Goldbeard’s death, he still chose to be more cautious.

He was not like Bushegaro who could withstand getting shot at.

“Goldbeard lacks experience in commanding combat with powered armor, as he charged too far ahead. If you can suppress the marauders with firepower, I am confident that I can seize the powered armor.”

As they conversed, the marauders had already reached the position of the outpost 200 meters away.

Li Mu could clearly hear the high-pitched humming sound of the artificial muscle when it was powered on. These marauders had no idea how to maintain the powered armor.

Li Mei gritted her teeth and chose to trust Li Mu. She ejected the bullets from the gun barrel and replaced them with blank rounds.

“Liu Gui, prepare to operate the machine gun for firepower suppression.”

The surviving soldier cleared the bloodstains from the machine gun and moved the corpses from the machine gun position.

This time, Li Mu finally saw the psychic energy bullet. It was a bullet that looked like a golden crystal, transparent and refracting mysterious light.

“Bang!”

A shot was fired, and some marauders vaguely saw that something had penetrated the powered armor, and the powered armor that was being covered stopped moving.

Then, the silent machine gun on the Xia’s position suddenly fired. Without the suppression of the machine gun, the roaring fire chain swept down another large group of marauders.

“The boss is dead! The boss is dead!”

Immediately, there were desperate shouts from the marauders, and even the small head of the Iron Claw Gang was a little startled. Some temporarily hired marauders turned and fled, leading more people to escape.

Even the most ferocious marauders could only fight a headwind battle. If the situation is slightly unfavorable, they will collapse directly.

They had no confidence, their heads were filled with women and gold Lasu.

Li Mu directly stepped out from the position and charged towards the powered armor on the position. The distance of nearly 200 meters only took him more than ten seconds.

Those marauders were either scattered or suppressed by the machine gun.

Bushegaro immediately determined his goal and flew towards the direction of the powered armor while shouting:

“Stop him, whoever stops him can replace Goldbeard!”

“Bang!”

Li Mei shot him in the eye and, because the black membrane hadn’t yet been recovered, the entire eye exploded in a burst of blood, completely blinding him.

Several marauders were moved by the promise of Bushegaro and, with the support of their descenders, they would easily replace Goldbeard.

Li Mu drew his knife directly.

“Clang!”

With a loud crash, the marauder trying to stop him was split in two, armor and all, with his steaming entrails spilling everywhere.

Several other daring marauders lowered their flags and retreated in defeat.

Li Mu opened a seam in the cockpit and, without hesitation, thrust his knife directly inside. The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh echoed inside the cockpit and there was a violent struggle from the injured Goldbeard, who was preparing to fight to the death. But he was instead stabbed to death inside the cockpit.

Goldbeard, who had dominated the wilderness for over a decade, died an inglorious death.

Li Mu pulled the body from the cockpit, put on a neural induction helmet, closed the cockpit, and sat down.

Bushegaro, who had been delayed by Li Mei, finally came in a frenzy. His hard head hit the power armor like a battering ram and the armor was violently knocked five or six meters away.

Before the power armor could react, Bushegaro tightly wrapped himself around it and opened his big mouth, trying to bite the head of the power armor.

The descenders and humans have been fighting for hundreds of years and they have long known about the weapons of the humans, including power armor. The head of the power armor is the weakest point and, once destroyed, the power armor becomes blind and deaf.

The previously dormant power armor sprang into action and stretched out an arm, tightly gripping Bushegaro’s jaw, with artificial muscles making a loud buzzing sound under high voltage stimulation, preventing Bushegaro from biting down.

The other arm released a severely deformed machine gun from the impact and unsheathed a close-range short sword from its arm, piercing towards Bushegaro’s head.

Although the black membrane of the descenders is extremely tough, it is difficult to heal once it has been shattered.

The sharp close-quarters short sword carved a deep wound on the cheek of Bushegaro, and the stinking blood spurted out.

Bushegaro let out a howl and, with his brute force, suppressed the power armor. He broke free from the grip of the power armor’s left arm and bit onto the shoulder of the power armor.

With a piercing metal twisting sound, the armor module on the shoulder was ripped off directly. The toxic venom was injected from the wound.

A line of damage report appeared on the screen, Li Mu grit his teeth and persisted in using the close-quarters short sword to chop the head of Bushegaro, leaving alternating sword marks on it.

The two sides no longer talk about any moves, they are fighting each other in the most primitive way like beasts.

Suddenly, Bushegaro let out a pitiful scream, it turned out that Li Mei had jumped up and the long sword in her hand directly penetrated its black membrane seven inches away, without a handle.

“Is this the breaking ability of the Seven Demon Calamities holy relic?”

He was horrified.

Previously hit by the psychic energy bullet, he had not yet recognized Li Mei’s ability, only knowing that she had a very powerful holy relic.

A simple energy bullet could not have such a terrifying destructive power.

It was not until his body was pierced that he recognized what descender holy relic Li Mei had. The terrified Bushegaro had a feeling of retreat and struggled to escape.

The Seven Demon Calamities is a well-known name, no member of the descender clan would not know, because too many descenders have died under these seven day-level holy relics.

The suppressed power armor suddenly retracted the close-quarters short sword, both hands joined together, tightly capturing Bushegaro and pressing him onto the ground. The hydraulic device and artificial muscle instantly burst out with the maximum power.

The high temperature released in an instant made the cabin hot like a steamer.

Bushegaro was struggling violently, but Li Mei did not give him another chance, the long sword was dragging, and she directly cut open his body neatly and evenly.

Even so, his huge body was still violently convulsing and struggling, and the top of the power armor creaked.
