Chapter 182: Mechanical Exoskeleton Armor
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Liu Keyi drove the armoured vehicle and entered the Meteorite Company Park from the north entrance.
She felt like she had just walked through the gates of hell.
She had almost died.
But why did the nemesis appear in that place?
And why did she have such a great hatred for her?
Or perhaps she was unlucky and the nemesis was originally looking for that NPC?
No matter what, the most important mission had been completed. The NPC hiding in the hospital would definitely not survive.
‘The next mission was to find a way to cut off the internal power supply of the Meteorite Company and release the ‘monsters’ below…
Liu Keyi checked the explosives she carried with her.
A few hours later.
“It’s finally completed…”
Victor wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He slowly walked to the center of the research and development room, pressed the red button on the side and muttered to himself.
“hope Fang Heng can still hold on.”
“Creak… Creak…”
Seven or eight mechanical arms assembled iron armour parts on his body.
“Creak… Crack!”
The last screw was tightened.
Victor tried to lift the mechanical arm.
In recent years, Meteorite Company invested a lot in biochemistry, so the development of research in thermal weapons was stagnated.
‘The mechanical exoskeleton armour in front of him was one of the research projects that was stagnated a few years ago.
‘There was one time when Victor found the relevant information when he was looking through the archives of Meteorite Company.
After the disaster, Victor began to try to improve the production on his own.
The modified exoskeleton armour could provide him with powerful defense and strength!
With it, he might be able to fight against the zombies outside!
No one could take Angel away from him.
Not even the Grim Reaper!
Victor walked with heavy steps, took out his electromagnetic pulse rifle, and headed to the first floor.
When he reached the first floor and saw the scene on the first floor, Victor’s heart sank.
The zombie horde had entered the hospital building!
‘Where was Fang Heng? Was he in danger?
Victor raised the muzzle of his gun and was about to attack the zombie horde when he suddenly froze.
He subconsciously put down the electromagnetic pulse rifle in his hand.
Victor froze on the spot.
Zombie horde?!
Victor did see the zombie horde, but this zombie horde was different from the zombie horde he knew.
Each of the zombies held a hammer in their hands.
They…
Was this the hole created by the rocket launcher in the hospital building?
Victor was stunned.
More and more zombies walked in from the entrance, piling firewood and other materials on the ground.
‘There were even a few zombies in the corner making wooden planks…
Two zombies kept moving back and forth, transporting the finished wooden planks to the entrance of the damaged building, providing them to the zombie team to repair the damaged hospital.
What was going on?
Victor felt that his worldview had suffered a huge blow.
He couldn’t understand it for a moment.
Then, he saw Fang Heng walk in from outside the door.
“Fang Heng, these, these…”
Fang Heng was also shocked.
He looked at his friend who was fully armed in front of him and fell into silence.
What the hell! Was this Iron Man?
Victor was covered in a thick layer of iron sheet.
The two of them stared at each other for a full second.
Fang Heng scratched his head.
“They are my special ability. Ever since the disaster broke out… I told you about them. Do you understand what I mean?”
Victor hesitated for a moment.
He nodded.
Indeed, Fang Heng said the same thing when they first met.
But Fang Heng didn’t say that his special ability could control the Tyrant!
He also didn’t say that his special ability could control so many zombies!
He could even use the zombie team as coolies to repair the hospital?
Victor was a little confused and didn’t know what to say.
No wonder he had the ability to obtain the precious G-virus blocker from the dangerous Meteorite Company during this period of time.
Fang Heng broke the silence.
“This is your… eh… mech?”
“Yes, this is the latest mechanical exoskeleton armour that I have developed. It requires high-level mechanical mastery skills to be able to be assembled and used.”
Fang Heng sized up Victor’s equipment from top to bottom.
“It looks very heavy. Won’t its movement be restricted?”
“The outer layer is made of super-strong alloy metal designed by the Meteorite Company. It is indeed very heavy, but there is an internal circulation power supply system. The actual operation effect is actually quite good. It will be fine after you get used to it.”
Victor raised the electromagnetic pulse rifle in his hand as he spoke and continued to explain.
“In addition, the alloy attribute can increase sufficient defense and corrosion resistance. It can also directly supply power to the weapon.”
So powerful?
Fang Heng looked at Victor’s mech.
In the memories of this body, he had never seen such a powerful mech before.
It was probably one of the secrets hidden in the game when it reached a higher level, monopolized by the various guilds and the federation.
If he could equip all the Dark Knights mercenaries with one, wouldn’t he be invincible?
“Can it be mass-produced?”
“It’s still too early to say mass-produced. Currently, the one I have on me is only the first-generation model machine. It hasn’t been tested in actual combat. I need more test data to adjust it.”
“In addition, the energy source is also a big problem. The internal circulation system consumes a lot of power. The high-intensity battle can only last for less than half an hour before the power source has to be changed.”
Alright.
Fang Heng was even more determined to trick Victor back to the shelter.
Even a high-tech product like a mech had been developed.
If he was given more materials, he would be able to develop it eventually.
Just as he was thinking, a noisy electrical sound came from the communicator.
Following that, Mo Jiawei sent a communication message.
“God, I’ve finally contacted you! Our hometown has been ambushed!”
Ambushed?
Fang Heng was shocked.
“Slow down, who ambushed us?”
“It’s a mutated spider, a Tier 3 creature!”
On the other end of the communication, Mo Jiawei was very flustered.
“More than half an hour ago, a lot of mutated spiders emerged from the Meteorite Company.”
“There are more and more of them. The Dark Knights can’t hold on any longer. Fortunately, Lucia contacted the signal source of the helicopter in the outside world. We are preparing to evacuate from Pine City half an hour ahead of time.”
“The evacuation location is at the weapons factory in Area E. God, you should hurry back. If you don’t, it will be too late.”
Mutated spiders? Evacuate ahead of time?
The mutated spiders in the Meteorite Company escaped?
Why did the mission difficulty suddenly increase by a lot?
Fang Heng frowned. He realized that something was wrong.

“L got it. I’ll be back soon.”
After hanging up, Fang Heng looked at Victor and said, “Something happened. I need to go back as soon as possible. These zombies will stay here to protect you.”
“Okay, go do your work. I can stay here.”
Fang Heng thought for a while.
“TIL be back.”
After saying that, Fang Heng left the vine zombies to repair the hospital and retumed to the weapons factory with Tyrant..
