Almost all of the several thousand people in the resistance army were at the warrior level. When they had set out, they had all thought that with just a few thousand of them, no matter how strong Blackmountain Fort's defenses were, they would still be flattened.
But the problem was that when they arrived, the rebel army's firepower was just too fierce. For example, an ordinary soldier would be fine with one or two shots, but if thirty or forty of them were fired at once, you would have to use all your Origin Energy to block them. And if the bullets fell in waves, a single soldier definitely wouldn't be able to withstand them. The various shock and disintegration effects were even more of a headache. The most infuriating thing was that particle laser cannon, which could even melt alloy shields, let alone ordinary soldiers.
So when everyone heard Zhang Jian say the word "reinforcements" on the internal channel, they were all shocked. They all turned to look, and then they were all dumbfounded.
In the middle of a path, a miniature humanoid armor was walking unhurriedly toward the factory. The channel immediately exploded.
"Are you f * cking kidding me?
These are reinforcements? "
"Bro, I think I'm going to die here today."
"Why?"
"I'm not going to be killed by the rebel army. I'm going to be angered to death by Brother Zhang."
"Reinforcements?
Reinforcements for your father? "
"How's your mother?"
…
Ding Meng naturally didn't pay attention to these questioning voices, because the system's voice inside the Prototype was constantly ringing out.
"Mode has been changed. Current mode is difficult."
"System is adding biotechnological defense application 'Gentle Soft-1'."
[Source core is ready. Conversion rate has been upgraded to 1.5 times. Initial carrying capacity has been successfully set...]
…
These internal changes couldn't be seen from the exterior of the armor. This was also Ding Meng's intention to test out the Prototype's capabilities. To be honest, he had long since memorized the detailed information about the Prototype, but its appearance was too ordinary. Even he had a little doubt about whether this armor was really as described in the information: 'If the enemy is weak, I'll be strong. If the enemy is strong, I'll be even stronger.'
Soon, the rebel army seemed to have sensed that the resistance army's offensive and firepower had weakened. Unexpectedly, a single soldier armor walked to the front of the line, and from the looks of it, it didn't seem to take them seriously.
"Whoosh —"
A sharp red beam of light shot down like a bolt of lightning. It was obvious that the sniper behind the window had shot at him with an energy-charged cluster gun.
Under normal circumstances, the armor would either have a hole melted in it or been knocked back. However, this was not a normal situation. Thousands of people could see it clearly. The red light had clearly hit the armor, but the armor did not have a hole, nor was it knocked back. The energy of the sniper shot flowed into the armor like a stream of water. The armor was completely fine. Ding Meng was still walking forward slowly.
What kind of situation was this?
Those with discerning eyes would still notice that there was something strange about this armor.
This was the defense system of the Gentle Soft 1. After being modified by the frogmen's biotechnology, the surface of the system was able to absorb most energy without damaging the material. In other words, it was like another version of the Diamond Starfusing Art, except it absorbed less energy.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
Multiple sniper beams shot out from multiple windows on the eighth floor at the same time. This scene was a bit like the time when Lu Ming dealt with Ding Meng on Bogor Planet. But this time, Ding Meng did not even raise his hand. He let them shoot as they pleased, and the system did not even sound.
This was because the system would only remind Ding Meng of the current capacity of the defense system when the energy transmitted into the armor had accumulated to a certain level.
"F * ck, is this an armor?"
"My eyes must be blind. He's completely fine!"
"Reinforcements, he's definitely reinforcements!"
"Weren't you helping his dad just now?"
"Brother, I was wrong. Holding the wine wet sand wall, I'm at the peak of dawn …"
…
At this time, the rebels obviously realized that something was wrong. Except for the particle laser cannon, all the long-range weapons in the sky and on the ground were aimed at the calm Ding Meng.
With a "swoosh", the scene was like a storm, hail, wind, and lightning appearing at the same time. At this moment, there were at least hundreds of energy guns, photoelectric guns, energy cannons, ion rifles, laser brakes … Anyway, as long as it was a lethal firepower, it was all aimed at Ding Meng. It was like a meteor shower, a meteor shower.
Everyone knew that when these energy weapons fired at a single point, due to the convergence of energy, they would quickly gather together to form a large energy eye.
The real body of the armor could not be seen because it was completely enveloped by the colorful light eye, and its volume was constantly rotating and expanding.
Seeing this scene, the encirclement of the rebels spontaneously expanded. Everyone instinctively retreated. At most, in half a minute or one minute, this mass of chaotic energy would explode. If they did not want to be affected, it was best to stay away from it.
After about a minute of indiscriminate bombardment, the light eye expanded to ten meters in diameter. It was now like a super cannonball. At this time, someone in the building roared, "Stop!"
The various firepower immediately disappeared, but the light eye did not. Moreover, there was no expected explosion, either.
The light eye rapidly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then it completely disappeared into the interior of the Prototype. The system's voice said, "Capacity 0.36%."
Little Rascal laughed. "Hahaha, this armor is awesome. In extreme mode, it can at least withstand a shot from a starship's secondary cannon."
Xiao Ai said, "Our energy storage has increased. There's no consumption."
Ding Meng nodded in satisfaction. The Prototype did not look amazing, but its performance was amazing.
At this moment, both sides were dumbfounded. They even forgot to open fire. The armor stood there straight, not a single mark on its body, let alone damage.
However, Zhang Jian's voice rang out in the comms channel. "Friend, be careful!"
Without needing his reminder, Ding Meng had already seen it. The particle laser cannon on the top floor of the building had begun to slowly turn. The four metal celestial spheres crackled with energy arcs as the cannon's muzzle locked onto Ding Meng.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The familiar scene appeared once again. The fiery red electric particles formed into spirals that twisted toward Xin Jie. The last time he faced such firepower was when he was escaping from the Black Gold Base in space with the Swordfish spaceship. It was all thanks to Xin Jie's heaven-defying dodging ability that he was able to avoid it.
This time, however, Ding Meng did not dodge. When the fire net came down on him, Ding Meng suddenly raised his right hand and spread open his palm. All the charged particles came to a standstill on his palm. They did not explode or decompose. Instead, just like before, the energy bullets slowly converged to form a red pupil.
After a round of shooting, both sides were dumbfounded once more. The pupil of light gradually shrank and finally disappeared into Ding Meng's palm. This time, it was the genuine Diamond Starfusing Art. All of the technological power was absorbed one after another.
Little Rascal sneered. "I was just worrying about not having enough energy storage. Now that's great. Thank you for your generous gift, hahaha."
In fact, many people could see that the armor was not only immune to long-range attacks, it could also absorb energy. Attacking it was like charging it. When did armor become more powerful than battle armor?
"What … what the hell is this thing?"
"Could it be the 250th generation armor made of the legendary 99999 yuan super alloy with an Invincible Shield?"
"Bro, bro?
What's wrong with you? "
"If I hold it, the fragrance won't penetrate. F * ck your mud horse nose!"
"Get out of here!"
…
Ding Meng didn't lower her right hand even as the two squads were shocked. That was because she had secretly released hundreds of telekinetic particles while blocking the particle laser cannons. The Prototype's reconnaissance system had long since pinpointed the enemy's firing points.
At this moment, Ding Meng's right hand suddenly pulled back, and his palm made a grabbing motion across the air. The thousands of people were once again dumbfounded. This was because on the ground floor of the building, all the weapons of the rebel soldiers had left their hands and flew into the air like magic. It was as if hundreds of pairs of invisible hands were controlling them. The hundreds of guns and cannons turned their muzzles and pulled their triggers.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
At this moment, all the lightning, thunder, and torrential rain poured down in reverse.
Zhang Jian did not have time to marvel at Ding Meng's strange ability. Previously, the rebel army had been difficult to deal with when they had weapons, but now that they had lost their weapons, they were nothing. His excited voice exploded in the comms channel. "Brothers, sisters, charge! Crush them! Show no mercy! Charge!"
This time, Ding Meng could be considered to have witnessed the charge of an army. After Zhang Jian gave the order, he suddenly felt that the soldiers around him had completely activated their Origin Energy. This Origin Energy was mainly heat energy, but what was surprising was that the soldiers didn't immediately use any martial skills. Instead, they used their Origin Energy to shout.
Everyone was roaring in anger. At first, these voices could be heard clearly, but after a few seconds, it was like a clap of thunder, shaking the ground and mountains. From a distance, it seemed as if the entire factory was shaking.
If it could be described as the roars of thousands of people activating their Origin Energy gathered together, it would be like rolling thunder. There was a majestic momentum to it, and the heat energy spread and the temperature rose. Hearing these shouts really made people's blood boil. Even Ding Meng was affected by it, and he felt a sense of confidence that he would be able to flatten everything in front of him.
It was no wonder that Lieutenant Jide had warned him that Dawn's forces were not weak.
Thousands of soldiers instantly surrounded them and charged into the factory like a raging flood. Even though a small portion of the soldiers in the front row had been shot and fell to the ground, their comrades behind them continued to charge forward fearlessly. To put it bluntly, they did not care about their own lives at all. This was a true suppression of the rebel army in terms of momentum.
Even Xiao Ai sighed in amazement. "That's why momentum is very important. It seems that this is indeed the case. No wonder the rebel army has been able to survive for so long. This is the law of nature."
Little Rascal asked curiously, "What law of nature?"
Xiao Ai sighed. "These people are like scourges. When a flood passes through, what can stop it?
If this is not the law of nature, then what is it? "
Little Rascal said helplessly, "Fine, you win again."
