The veterans didn't hesitate to rush into the underground air defense facility.
There were often more than one entrance, which on one hand allowed personnel from various departments to seek cover in a timely manner, and on the other hand, it prevented a situation where the destruction of one entrance would result in the whole pot being lifted.
Chen Fei also planned to take cover in the air defense facility, but just as he lifted his foot, he discovered "Dance with the missiles for a cumulative 19 seconds/60 seconds, make sure the posture is elegant, gain Energy Points +200!"
Huh???
Seconds can be gained like this?
Could it be that the 'Dance with the missiles' not only pertains to the sky but also the ground?
So... let's dance, let's all dance together.
666, turn it up!
Dance, my foot!
Who would dance when missiles are falling? Isn't this anti-human?
Quickly grabbing two heavy steel plates and stacking them together, he prepared to face the impact.
The stuffed system had no reaction at all, no longer reminding him of the weight or whether to absorb.
The metal he had previously absorbed was just a small part of the entire Aircrew Base, and now "Metal Devouring" was still cooling off, another two hours before he could continue absorbing metal.
Missiles trailing flames and thick smoke descended in an instant from the sky.
Boom!~
System: Ding! Dance with the missiles for a cumulative 23 seconds/60 seconds, make sure the posture is elegant, gain Energy Points +200!
The steel plates proved unreliable.
The flames engulfed Chen Fei's location, and the two steel plates, combined weighing over five hundred pounds, were twisted and deformed like paper, blown away on the spot.
Along with the steel plates, Chen Fei was flung out as well, crash-landing a dozen meters away.
"Pfft!~ That's a strong one!"
It took over a minute for Chen Fei to regain his senses, dazed.
He was too resilient now, if it were someone else, it would have been questionable whether all their parts could be found intact after such a surface-to-air missile strike.
A crackling noise came through the earpiece, followed by total silence.
Even the best electronic equipment can't withstand such a close-range impact, and it finally broke down.
Noticing that Chen Fei was still outside, without having entered the underground air defense facility, the old soldiers peeked out from the entrance, taking advantage of the dispersing gunpowder smoke. However, they almost jumped out of their skin when they saw Chen Fei, who seemed to have changed into a different race.
Just as Chen Fei was about to say something, it was as if a torrential downpour had started around him, dust was bursting in clumps, countless red trajectories fell from the sky, relentlessly pounding him to the ground.
In the rattle of gunfire, Chen Fei struggled to raise a thumbs-up to the veterans not far away, signaling he was still OK.
System: Ding! Hit by gunfire 35/1000 times, gain Energy Points +100!
This thing doesn't care about the caliber, only the bullets.
"Metal Devouring" was still cooling, and the scene of flying bullets was too frightening; the old soldiers quickly retreated.
Ricocheting bullets could still kill a person.
"Yeah, that's it, hit me harder, feels great!~"
Enjoying the massage from 12.7mm machine-gun bullets, Chen Fei lay on the ground; the missile explosion was like someone swinging an 800-pound hammer, brutal to the extreme.
But the 12.7mm bullets were like sissy punches, each blow directly to the flesh, kneading the muscles loose, unspeakably satisfying.
The only issue was that the ground was a bit dirty, the dust kicked up was choking; ah, why bother with such details, just enjoy the moment and that's that.
"Whoo!~"
An A-39B "Big Mouth Monster" light turboprop attack aircraft roared past at low altitude.
Four AH-72 "O'naida" armed helicopters lined up side by side and advanced across the skies of the 909 Aircrew Base.
The four AH-72 "O'naida" armed helicopters' rapidly rotating rotor blades stirred up the airflow and swiftly dispersed the lingering dust. Just as they were about to confirm their firing results, a slender object suddenly shot out from the almost cleared haze, piercing through one of the AH-72 "O'naida" armed helicopters the next second.
Bang!~
The attacked helicopter rapidly burst into flames and plummeted toward the ground, exploding on impact with the ammunition in a huge fireball rising into the air.
"'Fox Hunting Bow' has been shot down, target not neutralized! Warning, the target is still alive! The target is still alive!"
"Gain altitude, gain altitude, use rockets!"
"He's there, I see him!"
The other three AH-72 "O'naida" armed helicopters frantically responded.
"Secret Technique: Fight to the Death!"
Silver-white luminescent patterns emerged on the surface of his body as the towering figure reached out and magically pulled back the long, thin, cold weapon, which had flown over a hundred meters away, landing precisely back in his hand.
Over a dozen rockets came hurtling towards him.
Just slightly sidestepping, the "Blood Spike" trembled and buzzed, then struck out like lightning more than a dozen times, each precisely targeting the tip of each rocket.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
Huge fireballs that kept expanding engulfed the figure who was combating firearms with a cold weapon in an instant.
"Report on damage effect!"
"Direct hits with rockets, all..."
It was a silent, swift shadow that streaked forth, effortlessly piercing through the bulletproof windshield that could withstand light firearms, diving straight into the chest of the helpless pilot in the front seat, emerging from his back, continuing its unwaning momentum through the seat, and into the chest of the Fire Control Operator behind, piercing through again without a second's pause, and fiercely embedding itself into the internal structure of the armed helicopter before shooting out towards the distance.
Two trails of smoke abruptly rose from the ground, striking the other two ascending armed helicopters one after the other.
Chen Fei's five veteran soldiers hadn't been idle; they had seized the opportunity to use man-portable air-defense missiles to shoot down two AH-72 "O'naida" armed helicopters that were caught off guard.
The retreat from the Aircrew Base 909 was hasty and left behind a lot of weapons and ammunition, including the two man-portable air-defense missiles that had just been launched.
"Come back!"
Chen Fei casually beckoned.
The "Blood Spike", diagonally lodged in the distant ground, seemed tethered by an invisible force and flew back into his hand once more.
Individual Information:
State: Larval Form
Physical Energy: 150/12
Burst Strength: 790/60
Fullness: 75%
Active Time: 12 hours
Energy Points:
Secret Technique sustain time 60 seconds (can be paused)
Not only was his strength increased by more than tenfold, but even his reflexes became extraordinary, as if time itself slowed down, allowing him to leisurely use the "Blood Spike" to precisely detonate each rocket.
The "Secret Technique: Fight to the Death" augmented his Physical Energy values to the same levels as "Eyes of Tyranny"; it seems to fully exploit the limits of Chen Fei's physical potential without further room for improvement. However, the former greatly surpasses the latter in enhancing burst strength, with every movement carrying a terrifying, non-human monstrous strength.
Yet, it consumes considerable amounts of fullness, causing rapid hunger and significantly shortening active time.
Moreover, unlike "Eyes of Tyranny," which can be reactivated after cooldown, it appears that once the 60 seconds are up, one needs to eat a lot to replenish fullness and wait for Physical Energy recovery to accumulate more "Secret Technique: Fight to the Death" duration.
No wonder Manager Hanna said that the Neanderthals' Secret Techniques were too domineering, like a double-edged sword that harms both the user and the enemy. Such forced consumption would eventually deplete the body.
But for the elite warriors of the Neanderthal tribe, their fate is to die on the battlefield; they probably never live long enough to die of old age, making a long life utterly meaningless.
Chen Fei didn't dare try to activate both "Secret Technique: Fight to the Death" and "Eyes of Tyranny" at the same time; his body probably couldn't handle such exertion.
