On the panel, all the values have strayed far from the normal range! General Wang began to feel uneasy and quickly walked to the instrument panel—although the values were far from the normal range, most of the data points were still in a relatively stable state and gradually rising.
"Yang Chen!" Dr. Liang shouted, but General Wang remained unmoved. He shook his head with a determined look in his eyes, gazing at the Fierce Eagle Armor. It felt like he was enduring such pain, but he hoped more than anyone that An Xiaotian could withstand the current suffering.
"Don't stop under any circumstances! Nothing can go wrong!" General Wang said firmly. "When I first entered the Fierce Eagle, the neural pressure I endured was nearly twice as much as it is now! If I could endure it, so can he."
"But Jiao An and Qin Weishan have both tried it, and I didn't see you sticking to their experiments when their data was struggling. If they couldn't hold on, how can a rookie like him?"
"Because the Fierce Eagle Armor can save him! It's not time to declare complete failure yet! Look at the readings on the dashboard—are they significantly off? Think about me; I managed to get through it like this!"
Looking at the low and extremely unstable data on the dashboard, Dr. Liang couldn't help but raise his voice in warning: "The deviation isn't large, but if it doesn't return to the normal range for a long time, the probability of brain damage will be very high! This is not a gamble you should take! This is about treating him, not harming him!"
"I'm fine!"
General Wang almost got into a fight with Dr. Liang, but at that moment, a muffled sound came from within the Fierce Eagle Armor.
"I can hold on, General! Don't stop!"
General Wang looked at Dr. Liang and gestured for him to move his finger away from the abort button. Dr. Liang let out a long sigh, but to their surprise, just after An Xiaotian spoke, his brain seemed to no longer reject the connection to the Fierce Eagle Armor, and the first and most obvious change was in his heart rate and pulse, which gradually slowed from its previous rapid pace—
"Interface one, neural match successful."
The two of them brightened up as they stared at the real-time connection information displayed on the panel. There were a total of five different interfaces, with a simulated brain in the middle to mimic An Xiaotian's current brain waves and brain condition. The interface on the far right connected to his cerebellum, and the data above displayed green text that delighted both of them: the human body's balance system and damping response program are ready.
As if fulfilling a long-awaited wish, General Wang patted Dr. Liang's back with a sense of relief, pointing to the data on the screen, finally revealing a long-lost smile on the old man's face.
In the next five minutes, the remaining four interfaces were successfully matched one by one, and An Xiaotian's brainstem system, cerebral cortex, and other parts fully accepted the connection request of the Fierce Eagle Armor. General Wang finally saw how the orange window on the head of the armor lit up from the outside, something that had never been achieved by anyone before him, not even Liang Muqi, who developed it.
An Xiaotian opened his eyes, and the pain in his head finally subsided, leaving only a lingering numbness. He instinctively raised his forearm, and the information retrieval bar in the window moved with his eyes, looking down at his lower body—his entire body was wrapped in the red and white, sharply angular armor, and every part he saw was marked with the energy remaining or ammunition inventory in the window's information bar. He had succeeded, successfully integrating with the Fierce Eagle Armor.
"He succeeded!" Dr. Liang ran up to Fierce Eagle Armor and quickly patted the armor's chest as if knocking on a door. "An Xiaotian, my goodness, you did it! Wang Yangchen, come and see this kid! He succeeded! An Xiaotian, if you feel uncomfortable, just press your energy core on your chest, and the armor will unlock for you."
An Xiaotian followed the instructions, and sure enough, the armor was quickly unlocked. The sensation of being wrapped around his chest and abdomen suddenly disappeared, catching An Xiaotian off guard as he fell straight out of the armor. General Wang quickly stepped forward and helped him along with Dr. Liang. In his hazy vision, he saw for the first time the brilliant smile blooming on the face of the old general in his sixties, like fireworks bursting forth. It seemed frozen yet also like a transparent sticker firmly affixed over Xiao Wu's expression after his death, with the bullet hole on his forehead faintly visible, as if one could see through it to the grass roots pressed down below.
"An Xiaotian... apply to transfer your information into the top-secret unit files for final approval by General Jiang Yan..."
He heard General Wang say a few fragmented words, and a strong sense of fatigue made him feel like collapsing. However, he just stared blankly at the general. In that moment, he suddenly realized that being alive was exhausting, more so than at any other time before.
A week later
In the days that followed, everyone no longer saw An Xiaotian's figure appear in the ranks of new recruits. It was only after another unfamiliar call echoed through the ranks that they realized An Xiaotian was gone. Even his roommates stated that he had completely disappeared from their sight a week ago. Everyone was curious because they hadn't heard any news; even if he had been dismissed from military service, there should have been some word about it. During training time each day, everyone would sneak curious glances at the soldier who replaced An Xiaotian and then steal a look at the new instructor giving orders ahead, feeling that there was something hidden beneath the surface.
But this was just the gossip circulating in the new barracks; no one in the entire base would be surprised by the sudden disappearance of a new recruit. In this place known as the "Soldier's Forge," anyone who cannot withstand the training can withdraw at any time, and no one will stop them. For the management, it is merely a matter of removing a name from the list.
Currently, the most discussed topic throughout the base is when the two members of the Superhero Alliance will make their appearance, as an operation called Thunder Operation aimed at combating the Viper Organization has already been organized within the base.
Everyone has heard of the name Superhero Alliance; this "top secret" refers to information kept confidential from outsiders. However, at this base, at least everyone knows of its existence. Yet, who makes up this special forces squad remains unknown to all except for the most respected individuals in the base. It is said that this upcoming Thunder Operation will deploy this special forces squad to test their skills.
This has piqued everyone's interest, and many are now speculating just how many members this team secretly possesses. After hearing about this, some in the new barracks genuinely suspect that An Xiaotian has already joined them. More and more questions have arisen, leading up to today when the operation is set to begin.
" Tsongtsong ——"
This is the seventh day of getting accustomed to the Fierce Eagle Armor. An Xiaotian heard a strange sound coming from his feet. He then lifted his foot, and the entire armor emitted mechanical sounds with his movement. A small intelligent mechanical assistant raised its display screen and curiously locked eyes with An Xiaotian. After a moment, curved lines appeared in its large eyes, and it made a "gulu gulu" sound in a friendly manner, waving its mechanical arms.
"Go make two cups of caramel macchiato, and prepare one for An Xiaotian's brother as well," Dr. Liang said, pointing at An Xiaotian, who was about to step out of the armor. He then tapped on the screen of his live broadcast. "Come take a look; your teammates will be here in the future. See how they carry out their missions; it will benefit you later."
In the training ground, more than thirty formal soldiers stood upright. Upon hearing that General Wang was coming to personally give orders, everyone's expression became much more serious and solemn than before.
"What kind of mission requires General Wang to come in person?" Qin Weishan strolled over, whistling leisurely, twisting his wrist, instinctively clenching his fist, and disdainfully leaning towards Jiao An, shifting his eyes to the corner as he asked her, "The task of testing our skills shouldn't be difficult enough to make you drop your little pearls, right?"
Jiao An snorted coldly, shrugged, and remained silent, gazing at the soldiers. The two of them stood under the shade of a tree, away from the soldiers' formation. Once the operation began, they would ride their own vehicles to follow the troops.
"According to reports from informants, a biological research institute of a company in our city is about to face a violent attack, and it is a premeditated assault. Intelligence indicates that the assailants are armed with a large number of advanced weapons, including a modified AMV model armored vehicle from thirty years ago. This series of armored vehicles meets NATO's Level 3 defense standards. The sudden appearance of military vehicles in the city clearly indicates that they are well-prepared, and the severity of the situation is evident! I believe you all understand the mission: eliminate the enemies and protect data security! Now, move out immediately!"
At the scene, City S's Kexing Biotechnology Company office building, Jiao An observed twenty assailants moving stacks of technical documents from the file storage into their grayish-white armored vehicle—this armored vehicle had its rear opened wide. Meanwhile, seven other assailants were holding a staff member hostage; on the armored vehicle, a machine gunner was concealed behind steel armor, ready to fire at any police officer in their sights.
"The nightmare is in position, Building C 8th floor, target locked, mission complete."
"Jiao An shattered the glass, extending the dark purple suppressor from her hand. Through her digital holographic sight, the machine gunner's head was already within the hit zone."
"Divine Fist team has reached the left blind spot, ready to launch a strong attack at any time, mission complete." Qin Weishan and the team crouched below the wall, carefully listening to the sounds from inside.
"The third team is in position, targeting all the hostage takers, over." The third team sneaked in from the back door of the supermarket, bypassing the onlookers, and ambushed in the supermarket across the street, with a dozen pairs of eyes hidden among the shelves and a dazzling array of goods, waiting for the red light to pass, ready to start the operation. 9, 8, 7... The red light has become the signal to launch the attack, mechanically counting down.
"Attention all units." Jiao An, the commander of this operation, said through the earpiece as the red light counted down to five seconds.
3, 2, 1.
The green light is on.
The police cars, with their warning lights flashing, suddenly blared their horns in unison, diverting the attention of all the criminals. They shouted at the officers to stop and not to play tricks, threatening to execute the hostages on the spot. Just as this chaos reached its peak, a bullet whistled from the high ground on the west side, followed by the explosive sound of a gunman’s head being shot through. At the same time, a loud crash echoed from the eastern wall. Before the criminals could react to what was happening, half of the wall collapsed with a thunderous roar, sending clouds of dust and debris into the air. Qin Weishan led his assault team into the hall with determination.
With his right mechanical gauntlet extended, he unleashed a barrage of bullets that fired like a submachine gun, taking down an enemy who attempted to counterattack. Meanwhile, the outer armor of his left gauntlet expanded to form a shield that covered half of his body, absorbing the initial assault from the startled criminals.
The soldiers in the back quickly followed suit, their well-trained formations and seasoned marksmanship swiftly eliminating all captors. The front-line troops accompanying Qin Weishan hurriedly pulled the hostages to safety; one criminal inside an armored vehicle attempted to rise and operate a machine gun turret but was shot in the forehead by Jiao An. Across the street, hidden soldiers from the Third Team opened fire simultaneously to cover their comrades as they evacuated with the hostages.
Qin Weishan charged ahead, becoming the primary target for the retaliating criminals. Bullets rained down upon him as he ducked behind a pillar for cover provided by his shield. Confirming that the assault team had successfully retreated with the hostages to safety, he quickly drew a throwable device from his mechanical gauntlet and tossed it towards the rear of the armored vehicle before donning tactical goggles.
In an instant, a white light flashed! Qin Weishan was well aware of the effectiveness of the projectiles in his equipment Time, and the next second after detonation, he launched a strong attack, rolling straight to the back of the armor vehicle. His fist swung like lightning, and the momentarily blinded thugs looked to him like the training dummies he was used to.
Qin Weishan threw a shock grenade, forcing all affected thugs to raise their guns and shoot wildly. Qin Weishan pressed through the crowd, and with the corner of his eye, he caught sight of two gun muzzles pointing downward. He raised his steel-armored fist, and the bullets landed on it, making a clinking sound.
"Divine Fist"—this nickname was well-deserved by him, Qin Weishan—the power of his fist, combined with the mechanical gauntlet, was immensely strong, like a force to be reckoned with, leaving the thugs with nothing but the right to wail and howl like ghosts.
Across the street, a comrade was still fighting. A soldier raised his gun, trying to aim, but was stopped by the captain of the Third Team. "Don't aim. That’s probably one of the Superhero Alliance."
"What special forces squad?" The soldier looked at the captain's profile with confusion.
Meanwhile, in the hall, Divine Fist turned his face slightly as a beam of laser light swept past, accompanied by a gaze that followed him.
"laser weapon?" For a brief moment, Qin Weishan was somewhat surprised. Where did a group of small-time thugs get such advanced weapons? "Smoke!" Seeing no way out, one of the thugs shouted.
Suddenly, the entire office building lobby was filled with smoke. Divine Fist sensed the potential danger of being isolated, so he also hid in the corner of the corridor using the smoke as cover. At the same time, on the 8th floor of Building C, "Nightmare" Jiao An lost sight due to the smoke. "Damn it!" Nightmare immediately stood up and ran downstairs to provide support.
In the smoke, a pair of headlights turned on - the armored car was started! The driver stepped on the gas pedal, and the armored car roared like a fierce beast, charging out of the smoke and flattening the police car at the front. Police officers and soldiers opened fire, but faced with the heavy steel armor, they could do nothing.
To make matters worse, a robber climbed onto the roof of the car, gripping the handle of a machine gun and firing wildly into the crowd. The terrifying and intense firepower immediately forced the police and soldiers hiding behind the police car to keep their heads down, allowing the armored car to escape unchecked.
"Target escaping, Third Team, get in the vehicle and pursue immediately!"
"Damn it!"
If they waited for the soldiers of Third Team to get in the vehicle, the armor car would have already sped far away, definitely missing the golden Time for the chase. Jiao An leaped onto the motorcycle, twisted the throttle, and with a burst of orange-blue flames from the exhaust, the motorcycle crashed through the construction barriers, plummeting down the steps of the apartment complex and skidding onto the road before roaring off at full speed.
The armored vehicle was almost out of control, speeding in the wrong direction and directly charging into a turning intersection with a red light. The gunner, hearing the roar of the motorcycle behind, turned and aimed the machine gun at Nightmare. Bullets rained down, forcing Nightmare to lower the vehicle as much as possible, nearly drifting along the edge of the turn while trailing a long line of bullet holes behind.
After the turn was an elevated fork in the road, and a small car was approaching Nightmare. She quickly swerved, forced to enter the overpass while the armored vehicle escaped downward.
What to do? Jiao An pondered, keeping a close watch on the armored vehicle's movements. She chose to let go of the handlebars, allowing the motorcycle to drive freely, and raised her sniper rifle, "Dreamfall."
The scope's locking range was aimed at the front steering wheel, and Nightmare decisively opened fire; another shot, and both the front and rear wheels on one side were pierced, causing a blowout. With two wheels on the same side disabled, the high-speed turning armor vehicle lost control and crashed straight into the guardrail. Jiao An drove a motorcycle to the right side of the armor vehicle, taking advantage of Time as the armor vehicle attempted to reverse, Jiao An fired a grenade, breaking through the guardrail and charging down.
The machine gunner looked up, and a motorcycle rushed out from the flames behind him, accompanied by a muffled sound of a tire bursting, landing steadily next to the armor vehicle. Before the machine gunner could grab the handle, Nightmare raised his hand and shot him dead. Then Nightmare pulled out a magnetic bomb from his waist and slid it onto the ground. The bomb adhered to the chassis of the armor vehicle, followed by a loud explosion, causing the armor vehicle to be instantly lifted and overturned on the road.
Jiao An turned to look at his own flat tire motorcycle, smiled helplessly, and walked up to open the door.
The people inside have all been knocked unconscious by the explosion. Jiao An saw that in their arms, there were weapons of unknown origin, similar to the most advanced Laser charging gun nowadays. She picked one up casually and examined it carefully. She had seen many firearms, but she had no impression of these weapons at all, so she had the same question as Qin Weishan—where did a group of small bandits get such advanced weapons?
