Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 188 Equivalent Exchange
In the frozen land where the sun cannot reach, the streets that were originally covered with thick frost and snow and made even breathing tremble are now filled with misty rising steam.

The next moment, the violent tail flame shattered the steam, and a single-soldier rocket crashed into the prosthetic clinic on the corner of the street. After a brief pause, dazzling flames rose up, most of the wall collapsed, and the nearby glass windows shattered.

A security policeman who used the clinic as a cover fled out of the clinic in a panic. Just as he was about to retreat, his eyes suddenly blurred and a high-speed trajectory that even his artificial eyes could hardly capture hit him and passed him by.

The policeman was stunned.

He slowly lowered his head and saw that his lower body was broken into two parts, as if it had been "brushed" by something extremely sharp. The subcutaneous carapace purchased with a loan was as fragile as a biscuit, and along the cross-section, large sections of intestines flowed out.

The next moment, the remaining half of his body was smashed to pieces by the barrage of bullets that followed.

"——The enemy has a restricted-level prosthesis! And also carries heavy firepower! Request support! Request support!"

In the communication channel, a special police officer roared loudly while pulling the trigger tightly. The rifle in his arms spewed out plasma bullets violently, but he could not hit the figure in the distance that was constantly turning at high speed.

The latter had obviously implanted a high-specification neural acceleration prosthesis, and the high-frequency serrated knife in his hand was a magical weapon. Under high-speed maneuvers, it only needed to lightly pass through it to penetrate conventional armor and cut a person in half - they had only been on duty for a short time, and they had already lost three people!
The other party's two accomplices were no ordinary guys either. They got a semi-single-soldier Metal Storm from somewhere, and for a while, the firepower was so overwhelming that they couldn't raise their heads. Two police cars were blown up in an instant, and the ground and buildings along the street were riddled with holes.

No wonder this group of mercenaries killed the regional manager of the Municipal Energy Supply Bureau and were able to fight their way out even after their whereabouts were revealed.

"We can't delay it any longer!"

In another communication channel, someone was also shouting, "If we can't get a vehicle, retreat! When the follow-up support arrives, we will all be killed here!"

"——Never mind!" Someone in the channel cut the wall open again and growled, "You retreat a little! Get a car immediately! I'll take care of them!"

His companion was shocked: "You want to use all your strength? Part of your 'super organ' is already unstable! If you use all your strength now, what if you lose control——"

"You don't need to remind me! I'm the second ring overtaking! But if I drag it on, I'll either lose control or die!"

The man took a deep breath, and under the enhancement of his psychic skills, the prosthetic spine on his back lit up piece by piece, his nerves accelerated to the limit, and the time of all things stretched out in an instant.

Then, his five fingers merged into one with the tightly gripped high-frequency serrated knife, like the bite of a mechanical structure, or the fusion of living organisms.

In the stagnant world, the originally solid serrated knife suddenly softened and stretched, turning into a cruising edge that silently cut through the air just by its existence.

——Psionic skill, [Synapse Sharpening]!
——Psychic skills, [Physical property superposition]!
The former allowed him to transform the neural acceleration prosthesis inserted into his spine into an extraordinary organ of his own, truly making it a part of "himself".

The latter changes the properties of the high-frequency serrated blade, or in other words, gives the weapon the properties of "single-molecule lines" superimposed on the original basis.

He shook violently, and the front line with "single molecule" and "high frequency" properties swept across in an instant. The nearby buildings were like a piece of slippery tofu and were easily cut open.

An outdoor anchor who was hiding in a building and broadcasting a live broadcast of the riot scene was caught off guard and split into two halves diagonally.

But no one noticed him.

Seeing several buildings in front of them split in two, as if one part of them was flying in the air, the nearby special police were horrified at the same time, and they all tried their best to retreat to the rear - but they were too slow.

The striker swung past, swept and stirred, and instantly cut the two special police officers into pieces, leaving behind a burst of flames and explosions on the spot.

Several drones occupying the sky moved, and the rockets they carried roared out, bombarding the ground, but they could never hit the high-speed maneuvering figure. They could only rely on the aftermath of the explosion to indirectly cause some casualties.

"Did you get the car?" Feeling the constant tremors in his spine, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and roared in a low voice: "I——"

The man raised his head sharply.

Three dazzling "stars of light" suddenly appeared in the dark sky.

In the next moment, the eye-catching air ring shattered, and three streaks of light shot down violently from the sky!

——Qiang!

The man barely turned his head, and before he could utter a warning, an unimaginable light came towards him. It was pure light and heat, but also a terrifying kinetic energy.

But he dodged!
Under the transformation of psychic skills, the synaptic structure that had long been alienated brought about a highly efficient nerve conduction system. Combined with the acceleration of the prosthesis, the man dodged to the side just before the light hit him.

He jumped onto the second floor where the nearby wall had collapsed and the interior was open, and took a deep breath, his sense of danger ringing wildly throughout his body.

In the middle of the street, where he had just been, everything had disappeared, replaced by a large pit with a radius of five meters.

The frozen soil was shattered and melted into dust and large clouds of rising steam by the huge heat energy.

And from the center of the pit, there was a sword blade that seemed to be made purely of light and as clear as glass.

then.

The dense mist was suddenly disturbed, and the straight "light sword" trembled slightly. The blade that had sunk into the ground retreated inch by inch and slowly returned to the side of its owner - it was a slender but powerful outline.

This exoskeleton armor that fell from the sky was painted dark gold, and the polished lines of the outer armor were very smooth and sharp, achieving a delicate balance between mechanical and bionic senses. It had a humanoid appearance, but inexplicably, it still had an irrepressible sense of alienation.

She raised her hand slightly.

The three lightsabers were recovered and returned, slowly rotating beside the exoskeleton - the two gangsters who had been firing fiercely not long ago, along with the Metal Storm, were accurately hit by the lightsabers and completely destroyed.

Pop-up windows appeared simultaneously in the field of vision of the surrounding special police.

[Lightforge City Special Mobile Defense Force, Gloria Groden]

"Everyone retreat, leave this to me."

The exoskeleton's head armor silently retreated, revealing a beautiful and serious female face. Her gorgeous red hair was tied into a bun, and she looked extremely capable.

"This mercenary group has a second-ring psychic. If you want to successfully capture it, the casualties will be great. Don't throw your lives away in a place like this." She repeated: "Everyone retreat. From now on, I officially take over all operational authority here."

She slowly turned her gaze to the distance.

A total of four "light swords" rotated around her body, ready to burst out at any time and tear apart all enemies - the special weapons from [Fubo Energy], as well as her own psychic skills, allowed her to suppress the entire scene by herself. This was the confidence in her heart, and also an objective fact.

The man remained silent and clenched his front line.

After seven breaths.

Once again, he wielded his lightsaber to pierce through all defenses, forcing the man into a desperate situation. Immediately afterwards, scorching beams of light suddenly lit up and shot out from the tops of the other three lightsabers that were hovering still, piercing the latter's lower abdomen, left arm, and right leg.

The outcome has been decided.

"——The battle is over."

Gloria raised her hand to recall the lightsaber and turned on her headphones: "The suspect has been subdued. Please take him in as soon as possible and transfer him to the court for appeal and judgment."

After confirming these, she turned and left. The vector engine group on the back of the exoskeleton began to spew out blue flames and was about to rise into the sky again.

"cough"

The man half-kneeling on the ground vomited blood. The other party showed no mercy and the only restriction was "not killing directly".

Although they were both second-ring psychics, he quickly fell into a disadvantage after a brief fight and had almost no power to fight back, and was completely defeated.

"You are Gloria Groden."

Looking at the dazzling red hair, he panted and managed to straighten up.

Hearing this, Gloria stopped her movement to rise into the air, turned her head, and looked down at him quietly.

"I've heard your name."

The man grinned. "You are 'Righteous Groden', and your brother is 'Rebellious Groden'. Your reputations don't mean you are both good people, the few consciences in Groden."

"Hehe." He whispered, revealing a mocking sneer: "Good man? A bitch, a bastard. Groden's conscience?"

"——First of all, [Eshua Groden] is not my biological brother, he is just my cousin."

Gloria stared at him: "Secondly, I know what you want to say."

"You want to tell me that everything here is our fault, right?"

The frosty wind is howling.

After only a few moments, the vapors that had risen from the crossfire solidified again and sank into turbid dust. The gloomy sky, as always, indifferently dropped heavy snow onto the broken streets below.

The broken limbs and shattered prosthetic parts scattered all over the ground were gradually covered with a layer of red frost.

She shook her head and said calmly: "——This is caused by you."

"You were hired to kill a regional manager of the Energy Supply Bureau. After your whereabouts were exposed, you retreated here in a gunfight, resulting in at least one hundred injuries and fifteen deaths."

"You despise life and ignore the law, but you have no intention of repenting." Gloria paused and said, "It's really disgusting."

".kill?"

As if he heard something humorous, the man's shoulders suddenly began to shake. After a long while, he stopped and chuckled: "Where's your mother?"

"You bastards have blocked out the sun. Do you want to guess how many people freeze to death here every year?"

The man sneered, "Of course I'm not a good person, but it's not your turn to lecture me on morality! You are the real experts in how to squeeze more money out of people before killing them!"

Gloria frowned slightly, but seemed to understand something and slowly relaxed.

She said, “You are still wrong.”

". Covering up the sun?"

"What a frivolous statement. You have neither basic morality nor respect for things you don't understand. You just talk big and make short-sighted and ignorant remarks. You are worse than I thought."

"It took Fubo Energy eleven years to build the Macro-State Light Energy Matrix, and it invested trillions of credit points and a huge amount of resources. Countless people worked hard and devoted themselves to this end."

“——This is an equal exchange.”

“The bread on the supermarket shelves is made from wheat, which also grows in nature. Can we just pick up the bread without paying for it?”

"Paying costs in exchange for profits is the indisputable logic of society. If we ignore this and offer so-called cheap 'goodwill', it will lead to real bad consequences."

“If bread is given away for free, no one will buy bread from the shelves. Without sustained profits, bread factories will go out of business. Where will people get bread from?”

"We do collect the 'sunlight', but we never pile it up in the warehouse and don't want to release it. We have complete supporting energy supply facilities, excellent full-process services, and targeted supply for all levels of society. The Rockal Plain is large enough and there are enough jobs. As long as you work hard, how can you end up freezing to death?"

"I still feel sad for the death of those lazy people who are unwilling to work and only want to rely on others' free charity. After all, it is still a life, but that's all. My strength is limited, and I must fight for the remaining people who are trying to live."

"So-called kindness at the moment will only lead to evil in the long run." Gloria said calmly: "Only systems, rules and morality can bring true prosperity. Over the years, it is precisely because of the entry of Fubo Energy that Zhuguang City has become the comprehensive metropolis it is today."

"But people like you will not understand, nor will you be willing to understand. You and your accomplices will only wield weapons at others for your own selfish desires."

Gloria gave the man one last contemptuous look, and then never paid him any more attention.

Without hesitation, she turned and rose into the sky.
