103: Electrocution Zombie

"Going the hard way? I'll accompany you!" Blaze Ash's blood was boiling, his eyes burning with battle intent. With a thought, a "High-Temperature Cutting Blade"—wrapped in crimson energy patterns and flashing with blinding incandescent light—sprang from the outer left arm of blaze!

Clang—!!!

The cutting blade collided fiercely with the diamond gauntlets! The ear-piercing sound of friction, accompanied by flying sparks, lit up the dim street like electric welding! Two terrifying forces were locked in a contest of strength, causing the ground beneath their feet to crack inch by inch! The five-meter-tall Red Alert high-tech blaze mecha indeed suppressed the Diamond Zombie in terms of size and absolute strength, forcing the opponent back with every heavy slash. However, relying on its nearly impenetrable carapace, the Diamond Zombie stubbornly withstood the high-temperature slashes of the cutting blade, which left deep gashes on the surface but failed to break through the core defense! The battle fell into a stalemate!

Just as Blaze Ash sent the Diamond Zombie stumbling back with a slash and prepared to follow up—

Sizzle—!!!

A blinding blue-white electric light tore through the air, emitting a scalp-numbing screech! An Alloy Electric Spear over three meters long, wrapped in violent electric arcs like a javelin thrown by the God of thunderbolt, pierced with unerring precision through the weak spot in the Diamond Zombie's right shoulder blade! It wasn't meant for direct lethality; the moment the spearhead entered the gap in the carapace, it released a terrifying high-voltage current capable of instantly paralyzing a main battle tank!

Zzzzt—!!!

Countless thick blue-white electric arcs instantly crawled over the Diamond Zombie's entire body! Its diamond carapace could not fully insulate against such ultra-high voltage! It let out a pained and distorted howl, its massive body trembling violently. Its movements became like slow-motion footage, and every joint emitted a crisp "crackling" sound as if about to shatter, while wisps of charred black smoke rose from its surface.

"Old blaze!! This thing's fire resistance is maxed out. Switch with me, let me give it some 'electrotherapy'!" A playful yet highly confident voice rang out through the mecha communication channel.

Hearing this, Blaze Ash did not hesitate. The massive frame of blaze performed an agile back-step slide, retracting the High-Temperature Cutting Blade into its arm and yielding the battlefield. He looked back through his screen—a thunderbolt mecha, painted in blue and purple with a more streamlined and swift design, carrying a massive Current-Ejection Gun on its back, was striding forward. Every step was accompanied by the crackle of static electricity. Inside the cockpit, a relaxed smile hung on Yang Yi's lips, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

"Copy that! It's all yours, Old Yang! This turtle shell is freakishly hard!" Blaze Ash replied, controlling blaze to retreat to a safe distance while keeping his cannons pointed vigilantly at the paralyzed target.

Yang Yi's gaze locked onto the sluggish Diamond Zombie, which was covered in stray electric arcs. He snorted coldly: "Little punk, you think you can walk all over everyone just because you have a layer of diamond skin? High fire resistance, huh? Fine, then Daddy will give you a full-body 'electrotherapy' today to relax your muscles and stimulate your blood flow. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Before his voice had even faded, the thunderbolt mecha's right arm suddenly lifted! He unslung the sci-fi-looking "Current-Ejection Gun" from his back, the muzzle instantly lighting up with a blinding blue light as the internal coils rotated at high speed, emitting a high-frequency hum!

"One hundred thousand volts! Just an appetizer! Take this!" Yang Yi slammed the trigger button!

Hum—Boom!!!

A torrent of blue-white current, thicker and more condensed than the electric spear and radiating an aura of destruction, instantly pierced the air between them like the wrath of Zeus! The current let out a deafening explosion, accurately hitting the Diamond Zombie that was still trying to break free from the electric spear's restraint!

Zzzzt—Crack! Pop!!!

This time, the power of the current was pushed to the extreme! The Diamond Zombie was like being thrown into a high-voltage electric furnace! Its diamond carapace was no longer an insulator; under such terrifying high voltage and current intensity, the electricity forced its way through the gaps in the carapace, rampaging wildly inside its body! Every cell and every nerve was subjected to a devastating electric shock! Its massive body twitched and convulsed violently and uncontrollably, like it was performing a bizarre dance of death! A dense series of bone-cracking sounds, like popping corn, erupted from its joints! Dense, charred, and foul-smelling black smoke billowed from the gaps in the gemstone carapace covering its body! The holes that had originally flickered with an eerie green light also grew dim and lusterless, leaving behind only pure pain and chaos!

In less than twenty seconds!

Thump!

A heavy, muffled sound rang out. That once-invincible Diamond Zombie, which had withstood autocannons and flames, finally exhausted all its vitality and strength. Its massive body, as if all its bones had been removed, fell straight forward onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Residual electric arcs on its surface were still "fizzing," and black smoke curled upward.

The thunderbolt mecha walked up to the collapsed Diamond Zombie. Yang Yi looked at the mecha's energy readings displayed on the holographic screen, then at the incredibly hard and terrifying body at his feet. A victor's cold smile curled his lips: "How's that? How does 'electrotherapy' taste? Feels good, doesn't it?"

He controlled thunderbolt, using its massive metal foot to pin down the Diamond Zombie's nape, while the left hand neatly pulled out the electric spear still embedded in its shoulder blade. The blue-white electric arcs at the spearhead leaped once again.

"It's over." Yang Yi's eyes narrowed. thunderbolt's right arm raised the electric spear high, aiming at the relatively fragile connection between the Diamond Zombie's hindbrain and neck, pouring all the mecha's strength into the arm!

Puchi—!

The sharp spearhead, carrying residual high-voltage current, instantly pierced through that hard skull like a hot knife through butter! The spearhead precisely flicked and pried!

Crack!

A piece of the skull was forcefully pried open, revealing something inside that wasn't brain matter—a crystal about the size of a fist, perfectly round, and emitting a pure and soft green light! It lay quietly in the center of the cranial cavity like the most perfect amber or a condensed star, forming a striking contrast with the surrounding filthy brain tissue and charred wounds. This was precisely the power core of this terrifying mutant—a Level 2 crystal core!

Yang Yi controlled the mechanical arm to carefully extract this crystal core, which contained powerful energy. The green light reflected off thunderbolt's blue-purple armor.
