352: Chapter 351 Clearing the Field
As the Middle-aged man's wide eyes gradually lost their luster, and his expression filled with unwillingness froze forever, the sudden skirmish finally came to an end.
Behind him, Hans, who had lost an arm, was still struggling, but he was at the end of his rope, no longer possessing the powerful stance he had when he controlled Zheng Yi.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that if he didn't receive timely treatment, Hans was highly likely to die directly from excessive blood loss.
Wang Shuo ignored him and stepped past him.
"Wait." Zheng Yi, in his arms, suddenly spoke weakly.
Wang Shuo paused, looked down at Zheng Yi, not understanding what this woman wanted to do.
Zheng Yi barely adjusted her body, looked at Hans, who was no longer able to struggle, and asked, "Do you want to die?"
Hans looked at her coldly.
"I know you are all death soldiers, just like your companion. Death is a release for you. If you want to die, you can bite the poison hidden in your teeth right now, and I can guarantee that I will collect your corpse."
Hans's gaze became even colder, as if he would leap from the ground the next moment and tear this woman who insulted him into pieces.
Zheng Yi met his gaze without showing any weakness. Even though she was weak, she did not retreat at all, looking quietly into Hans's eyes, staring at him coldly.
The coldness in Hans's eyes gradually faded, revealing a trace of struggle. He spoke hoarsely, "Falling into your hands is no different from death; it will only be more painful."
"As long as you can cooperate with us, I can guarantee your basic rights..." Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Hans.
"I am an Executor of the great Alpha Organization, and I will not betray the organization!"
As if eager to prove something, Hans's face, which had been pale from excessive blood loss, actually turned red.
Zheng Yi was unaffected, her voice calm and light, "Or you can choose to be released together with your companion."
Hans's eyes flickered, and finally, he lowered his head and gently closed his eyes.
Zheng Yi struggled to turn slightly, pulled a bandage from the medical kit at her waist, and threw it in front of Hans.
"Stop the bleeding yourself." Then she said to Wang Shuo, "Can you have your Drone watch him? Just for a few minutes."
"No problem." Wang Shuo nodded, suppressing what he wanted to say for the moment, and waved his hand towards the group of Drones.
Four Drones detached from the group and hovered above Hans's head. If he made any suspicious move, the lethal projectiles sprayed out would cure all schemes and tricks.
After doing all this, Wang Shuo carried Zheng Yi toward the passage. The dense Drones originally surrounding the space above the passage made way as Wang Shuo advanced, as if they possessed life.
It wasn't until Wang Shuo's figure disappeared at the entrance of the passage that the wounded team member reacted. He stared blankly at the passage entrance, which was once again covered by Drones, his face full of bitterness, his voice weak.
"I... am also a wounded person..." Wang Shuo and Zheng Yi could no longer hear this sentence.
Walking in the deep corridor, Zheng Yi in his arms felt as light as a feather. Even wearing the Exoskeleton, Wang Shuo could feel Zheng Yi's beautiful figure under her clothes. But he had no time to feel these things at the moment.
To protect Zheng Yi's somewhat fragile body, he had deliberately suppressed the power output of the Exoskeleton, fearing that if his movements were slightly too large, it would make the already delicate Zheng Yi's condition worse.
The result of the deliberate suppression was that Wang Shuo could only walk out of the corridor, and the speed naturally could not be fast.
Five minutes later, Wang Shuo had carried Zheng Yi to the first floor, and the front door was close at hand.
Just as they were about to walk out the door, Zheng Yi, who had her eyes closed in his arms, suddenly said, "Wang Shuo."
"Hmm... huh?" Wang Shuo, who had responded subconsciously, hurriedly stopped, but he knew it was too late.
Sure enough, Zheng Yi in his arms said softly, "It really is you." Immediately, she sighed in relief and said, "Put me down. How long do you intend to keep holding me?"
Wang Shuo hurriedly put Zheng Yi down gently. After waiting for Zheng Yi to stand firm, he smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Zheng, you could even recognize me when I'm wrapped up so tightly."
"I couldn't really recognize you." Zheng Yi nodded.
When she first saw The Figure in black, she once thought The Figure was reinforcements called by the Middle-aged man, until she saw the Drones did not attack The Figure, only then did she clarify the stance of The Figure.
But she still did not consider Wang Shuo. The reason was simple: the gap was too big.
In reality, Wang Shuo was 1.75 meters tall. Although not short, there was a huge gap to the 1.9-meter height of The Figure, not to mention the cold, demon-god-like temperament of The Figure, whose tangible mental pressure made both her and Hans feel immense pressure.
What Zheng Yi couldn't let go of for a long time was the earth-shattering punch between The Figure and Hans. The Figure, whom she had thought was dead for sure, was not only unscathed itself but had severely injured the highly advantageous Hans. This, in her view, was almost a miracle.
This was not something Wang Shuo could do.
And what truly made Zheng Yi confirm Wang Shuo's identity was the scene where he commanded the Drones when killing the Middle-aged man.
That kind of operation seemed to be something only the unique Artificial Intelligence in her memory could do, and if there was one person who could command this unique Artificial Intelligence, that person could only be Wang Shuo for the time being.
Based on this conjecture, Zheng Yi had been extremely obedient all the way, until now.
Without explaining the psychological journey in detail to Wang Shuo, Zheng Yi pointed to the black armor on Wang Shuo's body and said, "You were able to defeat that Hans head-on because of this?"
"Yes." Wang Shuo did not hide it and nodded.
"Is this also an Exoskeleton?" Zheng Yi frowned.
"That's right." Wang Shuo patted his chest, making a dull sound, "I added some extra external armor and attachments, and tested it today. I didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good."
Zheng Yi was silent. Even though she had already learned the nature of the black armor in front of her from the Middle-aged man beforehand, confirming it again from Wang Shuo's own mouth still made her somewhat unable to believe it.
In her memory, an Exoskeleton should be that kind of simple mechanical structure with a few metal frames connected together, tied to the limbs with cloth straps to assist in load-bearing. The Exoskeleton on the Middle-aged man and that foreigner, in her view, were already remarkable advanced products, both in design and function, second to none, and had already exceeded the average level.
But now, Wang Shuo appeared, and even said that this equipment on him, which looked airtight, covered the whole body, like a protagonist walking out of the Halo game, was also called an Exoskeleton?
This thing is called an Exoskeleton, then what is that thing on the Middle-aged man called? An iron frame?
After a while, Zheng Yi asked softly, "You traded a punch with that foreigner, how did you feel about the Exoskeleton set on him?"
"How was it?" Wang Shuo recalled carefully. He wanted to rub his chin but touched the helmet visor instead, so he had to put his hand down and said, "It was alright."
It was indeed alright; this was also Wang Shuo's true feeling. According to Zero's recorded data, the opponent's force intensity of that punch exceeded 1200 kilograms, which was far beyond the human body's range, indicating that the Exoskeleton was operating very normally and had played its due role.
"His Exoskeleton's design is not very reasonable; it lacks hand protection and a force-releasing mechanism directly connected to the outer arm, so the strength is not enough, and the force is directly dispersed onto the human body. I have to give a bad review for this point."
"In short, the set he wore was just so-so. It's okay to bully ordinary people, but in front of a proper Exoskeleton, it's not enough," Wang Shuo concluded.
He was serious about doing scientific research.
Zheng Yi was indifferent and speechless. Even though this answer was already in her heart, hearing Wang Shuo say this, she still felt that the black figure in front of her who had just saved her was showing off.
Without speaking, Zheng Yi turned her head to look at the door, and figures had already appeared at the end of her vision.
"Wang Shuo." Zheng Yi turned back and said quickly, "Find a small path to leave here first. Don't let others discover you. Wait for me to come find you."
After saying this, she remembered that Wang Shuo in front of her was not a professionally trained person like her; he was just an ordinary college student. Asking him to evade tracking was probably asking too much.
"Ahem." Zheng Yi coughed twice and said, "If you can't do it, forget it. Just try to go to places with fewer people."
Wang Shuo nodded slightly. He also didn't want to show off, and even less did he want to appear in the police's sight wearing this thing.
"Okay, Sister Zheng." Wang Shuo nodded in agreement, "Don't run around either. Go back to the hospital and rest for a few days to avoid leaving sequelae."
"I know." Zheng Yi did not refuse.
Hans's kick didn't hold back at all. With the blessing of the Exoskeleton, it had kicked and injured her internal organs. If it were an ordinary person suffering such a blow, they would have already been lying on the ground, having lost the ability to move.
That she could still move and recover some spirit after a short rest was already the effect of years of training.
"Alright, then I'm leaving." Wang Shuo glanced at the crowd already gradually approaching the door and listened to the sirens already sounding outside the door. Without hesitation, he jumped out the window.
"Zero, action enhancement, strong output mode activated." The next moment, Wang Shuo had disappeared from Zheng Yi's vision.
Zheng Yi looked in the direction where Wang Shuo disappeared, her eyes slightly shrinking. "This guy actually still has reservations."
Shaking her head, Zheng Yi recovered some spirit and looked at the crowd rushing into the door, her face gradually becoming cold.
"Captain." "Captain!" The first to arrive were two The Young Men in black armed police uniforms. Seeing Zheng Yi standing on the spot, they immediately rushed forward, stood at attention, and saluted.
"Hmm." Zheng Yi nodded faintly. "There are injured members on the second basement floor. Team Leader 1, you arrange for people to rescue the wounded."
"Yes." One of the two The Young Men saluted again and said.
"Team Leader 2, one suspect has been controlled, and the other suspect committed suicide by swallowing poison. You go and control the personnel, carry out the arrest, and at the same time handle the scene and collect the bodies."
"Yes!" The other young man replied.
"Others, collect all debris from the battle scene, recover all spoils, and thoroughly clean up the battle traces after collecting evidence."
"Yes!" A neat chorus of responses.
Zheng Yi's gaze was majestic. She slowly scanned the personnel present and said coldly, "From now on, seal off the scene. Until I announce the lifting of the ban, this is a temporary military restricted area. It is forbidden for any unidentified personnel and police personnel to approach the inner field. Those who violate the order will be warned by gunfire! If the warning is ineffective, you can kill them!"
"I will bear all the consequences!"
