50: Chapter 50 Attack

The black exoskeleton armor on the table was like a magnet, making it impossible for him to look away.

"Alright, I'll put it on first. Watch how I do it," Su Fan said, picking up a set of exoskeleton armor and beginning to slowly put it on.

In just two minutes, he was fully suited up.

A figure encased in pitch-black armor appeared in the room, presenting a powerful visual impact.

"When wearing this thing, it's best to design pants that can be unzipped from the bottom to handle physiological needs. Otherwise, once you're wrapped in the exoskeleton, even if you open the portable switch, your own pants will get in the way. It's not convenient for taking a dump," Su Fan joked.

"Right, right. Hey, how do you fasten this buckle? Give me a hand," Zhao Jianguo replied while putting on his own exoskeleton.

Su Fan shook his head and stepped forward to help.

"Commander Zhao, it's not convenient to test the equipment here. Let's go to a nearby military base instead," Su Fan said. With a forceful snap, the buckle clicked into place.

Previously, while testing the Laser Rifle at the factory, he had accidentally shot a hole right through the building.

This had made him cautious; in the future, all weapon and equipment testing had to be conducted at professional sites.

"Sure, no problem. Let's head out right now!"

As he spoke, Zhao Jianguo didn't even take off the exoskeleton armor. He grabbed another set of armor and three Laser Rifles and headed outside, as if afraid Su Fan wouldn't let him have them.

Su Fan shook his head with a smile and followed, also wearing his pitch-black exoskeleton armor.

Wearing the exoskeleton, he felt a sense of security even when going out.

The two of them took a car to a nearby military base. This wasn't the temporary garrison next to Nanshan Base, but an old military base near the Southern Mountains that had existed for many years. It was fully equipped and suitable for testing new gear.

Su Fan's current security level was extremely high. Not only had the state assigned him a top-tier special forces soldier who had been injected with gene optimization fluid, but every time he traveled, there were other protective vehicles and personnel surrounding him.

It was incredibly flashy.

Su Fan didn't mind. If you have the means to show off but insist on playing it low-key, you're either truly humble or you've got something to hide.

The military base wasn't far from Nanshan Base; it was only a twenty-minute drive.

Su Fan and Zhao Jianguo sat in the back seat of the vehicle wearing their exoskeletons. It was a customized armored SUV from Beifeng Motors, with a long wheelbase of 3.2 meters and a height of 1.98 meters.

Thus, even while wearing exoskeleton armor, they could sit comfortably in the back.

The car moved steadily. Ye Yifan was a very stable driver. As a top-tier special forces soldier, his combat and reconnaissance skills were formidable, and after being injected with the gene optimization fluid, his strength was even more terrifying!

He was a true Special Forces King, unlike Su Fan, who was just an ordinary person with raw power but no combat skills.

As Ye Yifan drove, his brow suddenly furrowed.

Years of combat experience on the battlefield had given him a sharp intuition for danger, and at this moment, he sensed a massive crisis!

"Chairman Su, there might be danger nearby!" Ye Yifan said in a low voice.

Su Fan was teaching Zhao Jianguo how to use the exoskeleton armor's reconnaissance system when he heard this and was instantly startled.

"Let me check," he said, immediately activating the exoskeleton armor's ultrasonic reconnaissance imaging system.

The moment he turned on the ultrasonic reconnaissance imaging system, the world before his eyes changed instantly.

What was once a world of color was now a world of black and white in his eyes!

Moreover, he could "see" not just inside the car, but the environment outside as well—he could even "see" people inside other vehicles.

However, he could only see the outlines of figures, not their colors or details.

Looking further into the mountains, there were rows of large trees, stretches of mountain terrain, and many people busy on the slopes.

"Well? Did you find anything?" Zhao Jianguo asked steadily. As a survivor of battlefields filled with a hail of bullets, he wasn't nervous; instead, he gripped his Laser Rifle tighter.

With exoskeleton armor and Laser Rifles, he didn't believe the enemy could cause much of a stir.

Su Fan felt a bit embarrassed. "I didn't find anything. There are too many people around, and I don't know which one is the enemy."

Understanding it in theory but failing in practice—this was a classic case.

Many people watch war movies from a god's-eye view and criticize why characters don't go here or there, not realizing that if they were actually on the battlefield, they probably wouldn't even know which way was north.

Zhao Jianguo nodded. This was normal; if an amateur like Su Fan actually discovered something first, professional soldiers like them might as well retire and go back to farming.

He operated the exoskeleton armor to activate the ultrasonic reconnaissance imaging system and began searching for potential enemies.

Time passed in the tense atmosphere inside the car. Ye Yifan slowed down, but he didn't stop—stopping in this situation would be even more dangerous.

About two minutes later, Zhao Jianguo suddenly slapped his thigh in surprise. "Damn it, I found the bastard!"

"On the hilltop to the front right... Holy shit! Get the car to the corner ahead, he has a—"

*Boom!*

Before Zhao Jianguo could finish his sentence, the car was flipped by a massive shockwave!

"Fuck!"

After rolling several times, the car got wedged between two large trees by the roadside.

As soon as the car stabilized, Zhao Jianguo activated his exoskeleton armor, punched through the airbag, kicked the door open, and dragged Su Fan—who was also in exoskeleton armor—out in a disheveled state.

Just as they crawled out, he pulled Su Fan to hide behind the armored car.

Su Fan was completely dazed and nearly pissed himself; he had never encountered anything this intense in his life!

"Su Fan!"

"Su Fan, are you okay?!" Zhao Jianguo crouched on the ground, calling out to Su Fan anxiously.

"I'm fine... still alive," Su Fan said, his voice trembling and his head spinning.

"As long as you can talk."

"Damn it, where the hell did that bastard get a rocket launcher?!"

"This is Xia Country!" Zhao Jianguo roared in fury.

"rocket launcher? A rocket! Ye Yifan! Quick, check if Ye Yifan is still alive!"

"He wasn't wearing exoskeleton armor!" At the mention of the rocket, Su Fan suddenly thought of Ye Yifan. He jolted, stood up instantly, and his mind cleared at once.

"Holy shit!" Zhao Jianguo moved faster than Su Fan, reaching the driver's side in a single bound.

Su Fan followed closely behind, arriving at the driver's side.

The glass of the front left door and the windshield were completely shattered. Through the doorless frame, Ye Yifan could be seen curled up in the seat, his body contorted. Although the airbag had protected him, the entire interior, including the airbag itself, was covered in blood!

"Fuck!" Su Fan's eyes turned red. He grabbed the door and ripped the locked door open.

He reached out to touch Ye Yifan but hesitated; he didn't know battlefield first aid and was afraid of causing secondary injuries.

By this time, the personnel protecting Su Fan had rushed over and surrounded them, drawing their pistols and vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Zhao Jianguo's expression was angry and solemn. He temporarily disengaged the gauntlet of his armor and gently placed a finger beneath Ye Yifan's nostrils.

Su Fan watched tensely, terrified that Zhao Jianguo would say he wasn't breathing.
