164: Chapter 164 Accidental Switch Trigger: Mech Activates, Internet in an Uproar

"Is it... alive?"

Chen Nuo's tearful, despairing question still echoed in the air.

The massive entity that Chen Yuan had casually lied and called a plastic figure was now truly stretching its terrifying steel body.

"Buzz—"

A piercing, low-frequency electromagnetic hum instantly swept through the entire second basement floor.

This sound didn't seem like a sound effect played from any speaker.

It carried a physical destructive power capable of making the internal organs of carbon-based lifeforms resonate, slamming hard against the chests of everyone present.

Chen Nuo felt as if her heart had been violently squeezed by the sound.

Immediately after.

From the gaps in the mecha's originally dim head armor, two blood-red lights of extreme intensity suddenly flared up!

That was definitely no LED ambient light!

Those were high-frequency detection beams emitted by a real tactical fire-control radar during a locking scan!

The red light was like two sharp, blood-colored longswords.

They pinned themselves firmly onto Chen Nuo, who was slumped on the ground.

"Brother!" Chen Nuo screamed in terror, her body going limp as if her bones had been removed, and she didn't even have the strength to crawl backward.

"Damn it! Zola, you bastard!"

Chen Yuan's eyes nearly split with rage.

He had never run so fast in his life; his entire being turned into a black blur as he desperately lunged toward his sister.

But the five-meter-tall monster's movements were even larger!

"Pshhh—!!!"

Accompanied by a deafening sound of high-pressure gas being released.

The rows of massive blackish-gray heat dissipation grilles on the mecha's back suddenly opened wide, spraying out scalding white steam several meters high.

The entire underground warehouse was instantly enveloped by this high-temperature steam, making it feel like purgatory.

In the live stream footage being watched intently by tens of millions of netizens.

The bio-mecha known as [avenger type ii] slowly lifted its right leg, which weighed several tons.

Within the gaps of the armor.

Those dark red muscle fibers that Chen Yuan had forced an explanation for as "high-grade biomimetic silicone."

At this moment, they were frantically expanding and contracting in an exaggerated display of explosive power!

Accompanied by a tooth-grinding "creak" of friction.

That was definitely the terrifying sound produced only when real flesh and steel exert themselves to the limit!

"Boom!!!"

The heavy mechanical foot stepped heavily onto the special alloy floor of the basement.

The ground of the entire manor shook violently along with it.

The camera frame jerked suddenly.

Everyone could clearly see that the aviation-grade load-bearing plate, claimed to be able to withstand the weight of a main battle tank, had instantly shattered like a fragile cracker under the mecha's foot!

Dense, spiderweb-like cracks centered around the mecha's foot.

They spread frantically in all directions!

Dead silence.

An absolute vacuum of silence lasted for a full three seconds in the live stream room.

Tens of millions of people watched through their screens.

They watched as the steel monster stretched its body, and as those mechanical claws, capable of tearing anything apart, glinted with a deathly chill under the cold lights.

That tangible, destructive sense of oppression seemed to reach through the network cables and seize everyone by the throat.

This is a freaking plastic figure?!

This is a freaking silicone model?!

What kind of figure can spray high-pressure steam from its back?!

What kind of silicone model can crush a load-bearing steel plate with one step?!

This was not some rich person's eccentric toy at all!

This was a real, awakening, ultimate living weapon capable of changing the entire history of human warfare!

After a brief pause.

The live stream room experienced a literal nuclear-level explosion of activity.

"Run!!! Streamer, run!!!"

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! It's alive! That monster is actually alive!"

"What the hell is a Hollywood special effects team?! What the hell is a built-in hydraulic pump?! Chen Yuan, you liar!"

"Who just said those were plastic missiles?! Have you ever seen plastic connected to a fire-control radar!"

"Call the police! Hurry, call the National Guard! This is absolutely an anti-human, terrifying biochemical experiment!"

"This man is insane! He really built Unit 01 in his basement!"

"Is he going to destroy the world! I'm about to pee myself just watching through the screen!"

The speed of the scrolling bullet comments had completely exceeded the limit of human visual recognition.

The screen was filled with blood-red exclamation marks and desperate cries woven together.

Inside the headquarters building of a certain Chinese live-streaming platform.

"Bang!"

The Technical Director kicked over a nearby trash can, his hands clutching his thinning hair as he roared hoarsely into the intercom.

"The servers are going to explode! The server temperature is already alarming!"

"The popularity has surpassed fifty million! All the traffic on the entire internet is squeezing into this room!"

"CEO Wang! We can't cut the signal! The streaming source has a military-grade anti-countermeasure lock!"

The platform's operations officer, CEO Wang, slumped in his chair.

He looked at the terrifying mecha on the screen, which looked like a demon god descending upon the world, his entire body shaking like a late-stage Parkinson's patient.

He knew.

This was no longer some outdoor adventure stream.

This was a live broadcast capable of triggering a global political earthquake!

Elysium Manor, second basement floor.

"Nuo Nuo!"

Chen Yuan finally reached Chen Nuo's side, shielding his limp sister tightly in his arms.

He looked up.

In those deep, dark eyes, for the first time, a grim, cold light that he could not control was reflected.

Conventional excuses had been completely shattered.

Paper could not contain a fire fierce enough to burn the heavens and the earth.

Since this monster had already torn Umbrella's last fig leaf to shreds.

Then there was no more need to pretend.

"Warning. External abnormal impact detected."

A cold, emotionless, synthesized mechanical voice suddenly came from the speaker on the mecha's chest.

"Underlying defense logic activated."

"avenger type ii."

"Forced entry into cruise test mode."

Chen Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Not good!"

He scooped up Chen Nuo and turned to sprint toward the armored cover.

"Get down!"

Before his voice could fade.

The two massive plasma thrusters on the mecha's back suddenly let out a sharp, ear-piercing roar.

"Boom—!!!"

Two terrifying, eerie blue tail flames erupted instantly!

The extreme heat of several thousand degrees instantly lit up the entire dark underground space!

The violent shockwave was like a Force 12 hurricane.

It tossed the surrounding experimental equipment, weighing several tons, aside like scrap paper.

The live stream frame was completely swallowed by this eerie blue light at this moment.

That ultimate weapon, a combination of flesh and steel.

Under the terrified and despairing gaze of tens of millions of people.

Slowly ascended into the air.
