Chapter 250: Chapter 117: The Oil is Exhausted and the Lamp is Dry

The appearance of the Exoskeleton Armor helped them withstand the devastating firepower of modern weapons.

Gao Xin successfully helped Su Lei awaken the Exoskeleton Armor.

In fact, he helped Su Lei awaken not just this gene module.

Long before the encounter with the viper, as soon as Gao Xin was on Su Lei, he used the Neuro Puppet Technique to help him awaken to the third overclocking level along with the Exoskeleton Armor.

Otherwise, where would Su Lei get the third overclocking? He could only achieve the second level at most.

Each level of enhancement was incredibly difficult to reach, and Gao Xin also took a shortcut by using the Rousi gene.

Similarly, Su Lei relied on Gao Xin’s support.

He was originally at the second level, and with the gene module injected by Gao Xin, it made the awakening easier for Su Lei, who already had a solid foundation.

Gao Xin found that when he controlled Su Lei with the Neuro Puppet Technique, he could transmit the sensation of organ overclocking to him, subsequently inducing a rapid awakening in Su Lei.

With the success of the third overclocking, Gao Xin then helped him activate the Exoskeleton Armor.

However, the Exoskeleton Armor was much slower, as the changes it brought to the body were too significant.

And even now, even with Gao Xin’s heart, Su Lei had still not fully awakened.

Head, chest, arms, shoulders... the pale armor was fierce yet incomplete.

His Exoskeleton did not cover him completely like normal people in full-body plate armor; it only shielded certain parts.

Su Lei lowered his hands, revealing a pale, damaged mask, his eyes lingering.

But even with just the massive rhomboid shield on his arm, it was enough to block the bullets head-on.

"Dudu dudu!"

Su Lei charged forward and burst into the machine gunner’s position, the Demon Blade flashing as it slashed down a gunman.

"Nani?"

Sea Serpent Hirao’s face changed dramatically, not expecting Su Lei to erupt with the Exoskeleton Armor at a critical moment.

Ding ding ding, bullets all blocked.

Gao Xin and his men, in union, swung the Demon Blade and slashed down the gunmen, blood splattering everywhere.

In reality, Gao Xin was exhausted, unable to even lift his hands, just hanging on by a thread.

Su Lei was also at the end of his rope, having endured a barrage of bullets, now barely alive, already unconscious, entirely controlled by Gao Xin’s strong neural signals.

With hundreds of gunmen around, they had killed ten but many more remained; how were they to fight?

But the more dire the situation, the more they had to persevere.

Gao Xin’s gaze was intense as he stared at Sea Serpent Hirao in the crowd.

"Sea Serpent! Don’t run! Let’s see who dies first!"

Gao Xin’s voice was murderous and brimming with confidence, as if he had Sea Serpent Hirao completely figured out, and was afraid he might run away.

"Retreat! Quick, retreat!"

This shout completely discouraged Sea Serpent Hirao from continuing the fight, as Gao Xin’s repeated miracles and his tenacious vitality made him lose all courage.

With a push, he sent Ohno Shinkachi forward, while he himself swiftly retreated to the rear, landing on one of his men and urging him to flee quickly.

He truly still had the strength to fight and many men under him could have exhausted Gao Xin to death.

But Gao Xin’s ferocity truly frightened him.

He was gravely injured now and felt uncertain, thinking as long as he could get away, he would still be Sea Serpent Hirao. But if he died in this backwater, wouldn’t it all be for naught?

Seeing this, Gao Xin didn’t chase him but turned to face Ohno Shinkachi, ruthlessly slashing with the Demon Blade.

In his eyes, Sea Serpent Hirao was merely a feint, while Ohno Shinkachi, holding the last piece of Class B restorative, was more valuable at this moment.

"Why are you chasing me!" Ohno Shinkachi’s face turned green.

Seeing Gao Xin relentless, he could only counterattack.

This counterattack entangled the two in close combat, exchanging blows and blood, neither relenting till death.

Thus, Ohno Shinkachi ended up being the rear guard.

He and Gao Xin fought desperately, neither could retreat lest they die, only the bitter struggle remained until the end.

Seeing his comrades retreat, Ohno Shinkachi bellowed: "He’s done for! Lord Sea Serpent, he’s truly done for!"

Locking in combat with Gao Xin, he could sense that both Gao Xin and Su Lei were at their limits, even he couldn’t easily defeat them, death lingered but a moment away.

At this moment, if another expert came, like Sea Serpent Hirao, he could probably kill him.

"Fighting me to the death and still you dare be distracted!"

Gao Xin saw his advantage droop, his eyes hardened, and despite being pierced by Ohno Shinkachi’s blade through both of them, he drove the Demon Blade into his eye.

"Ah!"

Ohno Shinkachi was brutally nailed to a tree, his brain swarming with digestive bacteria, quickly dying.

Gao Xin decisively opened the box and took out a gyroscopic crystal.

He efficiently killed Ohno Shinkachi and seized the Class B restorative, quashing the last shred of Sea Serpent Hirao’s intent to fight.

"Retreat!"

Sea Serpent Hirao screamed miserably, his army’s morale broken, the remaining gunmen hurriedly escorted him in retreat.

Gao Xin was too ferocious, none present believed they could win against him in a duel.

Since Sea Serpent Hirao was leaving, naturally no one wanted to throw their lives away needlessly.

Gao Xin chased symbolically for a bit, then coldly said, "You’re not good at anything else, but your fleeing is impressive."

"If you dare not fight today, the next time we meet, your end will be even more miserable!"

He arrogantly declared, and Sea Serpent Hirao, without a word of retaliation, disappeared into the night.

"Thud!"

Gao Xin and Su Lei could no longer hold on and collapsed thunderously.

Out of oil and out of wick, completely out of oil and out of wick.

Both of them were mere inches from death.

No need to mention Gao Xin; Su Lei, only an Acolyte Wolf, had been so riddled with bullets that all his organs were severely damaged; if not for Gao Xin forcefully keeping him alive, Su Lei would have died on the spot.

Even so, they couldn’t last much longer; both lingered between life and death, nearly unable to move.
