Chapter 357 - 357 Significant Upgrades

357 Significant Upgrades

Early the next morning, Lin Liye was led to a secret underground facility by Dr. Zhang.

Along the way, Lin Liye saw the testing process of many parts.

Armed with a huge metal gauntlet, a soldier swung with enough force to raise Lin Liye’s brows.

The hydraulics allowed the rank-two soldier to exert the force of a rank-four.

Breastplate allowed a rank-one soldier to brush off a full-powered punch from a rank-two soldier.

It seemed to hold some promise.

“Captain Lin, this way, please!”

Lin Liye was led to a workshop-like hall.

” Captain Lin, this armor was specially designed for you.

“Please try it on!” Dr. Zhang said with a smile.

In actuality, this armor had not been specially made for him.

It was just too powerful to be used by anyone other than Lin Liye. It literally tore the limbs of other test pilots

“Looks pretty good.

“Hope it drives as well as it looks.”

Lin Liye was a soldier, so it piqued his interest.

With the help of the team, Lin Liye put on the Power Armor.

He remembered watching a popular trailer from StarCraft. It reminded him of the Terran Marine.

Lin Liye moved his hands and feet.

It did not feel so bad. He had expected to have to wrestle with the machinery.

The suit responded instantly. There was no delay in his movements.

“This thing is more interesting than a tank!”

The more Lin Liye tried it out, the more excited he became.

No man could refuse the charm of such a big toy.

“Captain Lin, are you familiar with the basic controls?

“Next, let’s test the various data,” one of the researchers came over and said.

Lin Liye nodded and followed the researcher to a training ground.

There was a lot of equipment to test one’s strength.

Lin Liye saw a familiar target.

This was a punch strength testing machine that the government had developed. It could accurately gauge the strength of an Awakened One.

Before Lin Liye went to Africa, he had gotten a data of level 15. At that time, his strength was around rank-seven.

Now, Lin Liye, who was about to reach rank-eight, should have no problem getting a level 16.

“Captain Lin, try throwing two punches.”

Dr. Zhang was holding a tablet and preparing to record data.

“Sure, I haven’t tested my strength since I came back.”

Lin Liye moved his hands and feet and walked to the target.

Lin Liye was already wielding the armor like it was his second skin.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Liye used 70% of his strength to throw a punch.

“BOOM!”

A loud sound reverberated throughout the training ground.

“That’s awesome!” Lin Liye shouted.

The instant he threw out his punch, his waist, shoulders, and elbows were driven by the suit, increasing the power of his punch with a perfect rhythm.

Of course, it put his body under some pressure.

However, it was nothing to him.

“LV.16.

“Captain Lin, didn’t you eat?

“You were able to reach level 15 before, right?”

Dr. Zhang laughed.

“I was just warming up!”

Lin Liye clenched his fists and prepared himself.

He inhaled…

“OOM…”

The loud noise made the surrounding researchers cover their ears.

The entire training ground was filled with echoes.

“LV.19!

“Awesome, Captain Lin!”

Dr. Zhang’s eyes were filled with joy.

Lin Liye displayed a shocking number.

Without this set of exoskeleton armor, only a rank-nine Awakened One could achieve such a result!

“F*ck no, you guys are the awesome ones.”

Lin Liye looked at the armor on his body in surprise.

He had not expected it to be this effective.

If he wore this, he could even kill a Zombie Monarch!

However, Lin Liye’s body had also suffered some backlash from the all-out attack just now.

He now knew why they had kept this suit for him.

Lin Liye could perhaps deliver nineteen more punches of that level. Any further, and he may start injuring himself.

“Captain Lin, now you know why I argued with you and insisted on promoting these Power Armor!

“If all our soldiers were equipped with this, we would have a powerful army!” Dr. Zhang said proudly.

“Hmm, not bad, not bad.

“Before the apocalypse, no human can pilot this.

“It’ll tear a person’s body apart. I’ve felt it myself.”

Lin Liye nodded.

“We will allocate different models to the user’s strength.

“Most of the soldiers are rank-one or two Awakened Ones. They’ll be assigned Class D Power Armor, which can increase their strength by one or two levels.

“What you have on is a Class A. No one below rank-seven can use it. You can treat it as your exclusive armor,” Dr. Zhang explained.

“Class A… Are there any Class S?” Lin Liye asked with a smile.

“There is…

“But I don’t think anyone can take it.”

“If you throw a punch in one of those, you’ll feel the force of a rank-eight Awakened One trying to tear you limb from limb.

“It’s just too much strain.

“At least, I don’t think anyone can use it yet.”

Dr. Zhang shrugged.

“Not a single one?”

A person’s figure immediately appeared in Lin Liye’s mind.

Wang Ran would have fun with this toy.

Even his little sidekick, Tang Tang would start doing outrageous things with it.

Just now, he had relied on this Power Armor to reach level 19.

However, Lin Liye knew that Wang Ran did not need to use his full strength to surpass those results.

It was indeed a good choice to have Lin Shuang stay by Wang Ran’s side…

Lin Liye was so happy that he wanted to reach for a cigarette, but he realized that he was wearing a Power Armor and could not reach his pocket at all.

“Dr. Zhang, can you help me light a cigarette?”

Lin Liye pleaded with a smile.

“No! Smoking is prohibited here!”

Dr. Zhang decisively shot him down.

“Well, good luck finding someone else to get you data on Class A armors!”

Lin Liye brought out his trump card.

Dr. Zhang dejectedly waved at a researcher.

The researcher helped Lin Liye light his cigarette.

“Ah, this feels good…”

Without his daughter by his side, Lin Liye was already feeling at ease.
