Chapter 115 Hand Blade
Close combat in zero gravity is actually not a good experience.
After all, while maintaining your posture, you also have to adjust your posture.
Fortunately, Amber has the assistance of Lilith. After connecting to the exoskeleton, Lilith has been controlling the jetpack to help maintain Amber's posture.
Especially when the two sides are fighting each other, the extra thrust of the jetpack allows Amber to withstand the attack of the tail needle and counterattack.
With both sides using concussive weapons, every collision between the long swords and the double swords in the hands of Amber and Tail Needle is actually a test of the durability of both sides' weapons.
After all, this kind of cold weapon that relies on high-frequency vibration to kill is originally a relatively sophisticated weapon.
As level four psykers, Amber and Tail Needle are actually relatively restrained in their current battle.
Both sides rely more on the spatial perception, reaction speed and modified physical fitness of the psykers in the battle. Psychics are more used as a means of defense and interference.
Because both of them knew that if the two of them opened up for 'psionic wave counterattack', not to mention demolishing the spaceport, just blasting a hole in this passage would not be a big problem. of.
"Cang!"
Another round of fighting and fighting began. Under the reaction force, the two pushed apart again, and then each attached to a bulkhead.
Amber has discovered from this continuous confrontation that Tail Needle has also undergone extensive body modifications.
And these members of the Star Dragon Empire's psychic commando team have undergone even more thorough body transformations.
"Amber, it seems I still underestimated you"
On the opposite bulkhead, Tailpin, half-crouching on the bulkhead like Spider-Man, turned on the speaker of the exoskeleton.
“I thought you were just an ordinary traitor, but I didn’t expect you could last so long under my command.”
“Huh? Do you think you are strong?”
Amber also turned on the speaker of the exoskeleton. He was a famous troll when he was in the guild and never showed weakness in this situation.
“Humph, I can see how stubborn you are going to be.”
Tail Needle's exoskeleton completed a round of injections of military stimulants and psychically active agents according to his orders.
He kicked his feet and rushed toward Amber with his sword at a faster speed.
An electric arc was drawn between the tips of the two swords.
"Can the fourth level of psionic power activate psychic lightning? It seems that he is on drugs."
Amber didn't panic, held up the psionic shield and blocked it directly The tail needle's psychic lightning moved his whole body to the left the moment he approached, and the long sword in his hand also followed the trend and struck out an angry strike.
The shock sword, which was inch longer and stronger, with a longer blade, struck directly at the back of Tail Needle's exoskeleton, immediately cutting off an armor plate and causing damage to his jetpack.
Tail Needle also reacted quickly, abandoning the jetpack at the moment when his posture lost control. At the same time, psychic lightning extended from his hands, re-stabilizing it through contact with the wall like an elongated tentacle. He stopped his gesture.
Amber did not give up this opportunity. While Tail Needle was still re-adjusting its posture, he directly let the jet pack spray at its maximum output, and stabbed straight at it while holding up the long sword.
Although he didn’t know why the tail needle was so ‘pursuing’ him, and even ambush him here in advance even after he went into space.
But Amber knows that such a person must not be left behind. If he can be killed, he must find ways to kill him to avoid future troubles.
Especially since the opponent is a member of the Star Dragon Fang who is good at lurking and assassinating, they need to cut through the mess quickly.
But as soon as the long sword was thrust out, the enhanced version of the psychic shield Plus stimulated by the drug-taking tail needle was like the disordered electromagnetic vortex formed by the deflection force field, directly affecting the people in the battle just now. The long sword, whose durability had dropped significantly, was shattered inch by inch.
At the same time, Lilith also issued a warning.
"Master! The opponent has started injecting viruses into the exoskeleton!"
"Isn't that just right? Isolate the virus according to the preset plan and then fight back."
Amber, who lost his weapon, was unusually calm. He raised his hand to prop up the psychic shield and collided with the tail needle.
The turbulence caused by the collision of the psychic shields of both sides created cracks on the bulkhead.
Lilith also started to fight back under Amber's order.
In terms of electronic attacks, the built-in combat AI of the tail needle exoskeleton is definitely not as powerful as Lilith.
But Tail Needle has closed all communication channels and data links from the beginning of the battle, like a closed iron can, making Lilith unable to start.
But when he started to actively carry out electronic attacks, he gave Lilith a chance. The virus implanted inside Amber's exoskeleton was crushed by Lilith before it could be decapsulated.
And she also followed the channel where the attack was launched, and directly responded with a brand new ‘Lilith Specially Adjusted Virus’ that had been developed after many actual battles and iterations.
"Wait. This virus?!"
Tail needle, which was easily broken through the firewall and then attacked by the electronic warfare virus, immediately asked the auxiliary AI to start isolating and killing the virus.
At the same time, the whole person broke away from Amber's stalemate and floated towards the other side of the passage.
Soon, his combat AI also came to the conclusion that the virus just injected by Amber was 93.6% similar to the electronic warfare virus fragment sample secretly issued by the command.
In other words, this virus comes from the same family as the new electronic warfare virus that has recently appeared on the ground battlefield.
In addition, the message issued by the command vaguely mentioned that a new type of AI in the Federation may be related to Amber.
Tail Needle immediately understood why the Eighth Expeditionary Strike Group and DRSD would order at the same time, asking him to intercept the possible Amber at Lansford Military Port.
Although the command headquarters has provided relevant countermeasures after analyzing the electronic warfare viruses that appeared previously and updated the anti-virus programs equipped on some elite combatants, the combat AI has also temporarily blocked viruses that invaded the exoskeleton.
But Wei Zhen still wanted to give up and planned to call for support.
And this was the worst decision he ever made.
"Master, the other party is trying to call for additional personnel! Information interception and communication blocking have been completed!"
At the same time as Lilith's voice sounded, a line of information also appeared on Amber's screen .
"The target Amber was found. The electronic warfare virus used is an iterative version of a new virus that has appeared recently. It is suspected to have been iterated by AI. It is in line with the judgment of the command and DRSD. The target is extremely dangerous. Please request immediate support!"
See Amber's brows suddenly furrowed at this line of information.
The DRSD of the Star Dragon Empire is indeed not a freeloader. The new virus that appeared on the battlefield combined with what happened before has linked Lilith to herself.
"Then we can't let this guy go."
Thinking of this, Amber activated his jetpack and chased after him, and at the same time activated the fighting spike mounted on his right arm.
Although Tail Needle's overall strength is actually comparable to Amber's, especially in terms of psychic strength, it is higher than Amber who has just been promoted to the fourth level psyker.
But in a 1V1 battle, the side that takes the initiative to retreat will have its fighting confidence and will to fight greatly reduced.
Thus indirectly affecting the overall combat effectiveness.
Just like now.
Tail Needle, who was caught up by Amber, fell into endless passive defense while constantly trying to send out messages for help, and was completely suppressed by Amber.
This eventually led to a fierce struggle between the two sides, allowing Amber to seize the opportunity to put the fighting spike on Tail Needle's chest.
At this moment, the launcher case of the Fighting Spike is loaded with a 680 mm long alloy penetrating rod.
"Bang!"
Without any nonsense, the piercing rod shot at the maximum excitation power directly pierced the tail needle's chest armor plate and penetrated out from his back. Finally Bounced off the bulkhead.
At the same time, the launcher receiver of Fighting Spike ‘Kara! ’ reload with a sound.
This time, the launch track was loaded with a shaped armor-piercing projectile.
Looking at the big hole in his chest and the tail needle floating in the passage, Amber stepped forward and pressed the fighting spikes against his tactical visor.
Whether it is Amber herself or Tail Needle, while spiritual energy has given them vitality beyond ordinary people, at the same time, their definition of "fatal injury" is also different from ordinary people after physical transformation.
So last hit is very important.
"Sorry, good fight."
"Ahem. Haha"
"Bang!"
