Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 102 Dual-Heart Resonance
Scorpion, a level 35 blue BOSS, possesses mental power far surpassing that of the previous two agents, Nightingale and Owl. He can actually condense it into a line, capable of splitting gold and jade. In an instant, the metal frame of the hospital bed emitted a sizzling sound as it was being cut!

The Soul Silk Threads attack at an incredibly fast speed. I couldn't possibly dodge it with my physical speed alone, especially now that all my attributes have been reduced by 45%, making it even more impossible to avoid such a ruthless attack!
Fortunately, all the skills are still usable!

"Pong!"

A burst of Yuan energy erupted from his body, and he used a stepping slash to move five yards to the corner of the ward. He raised his hand and gave the other party a Heavenly Craftsmanship, and then pulled the trigger of the explosive gun!

"Bang bang bang~~"

Amidst the intense gunfire, damage numbers kept flying up above Scorpion's head!

"482!"

"499!"

"501!"

"1497!"

"472!"

……

Unfortunately, advanced shooting has been weakened, and the chance of headshots is not high, resulting in not much overall damage. Meanwhile, the opponent has a full 8 health bar, so it is not so easy to kill them.

"033, you're asking for it!"

Scorpion roared, his eyes blazing with blood-red light. In an instant, my mind jolted, and I fell into some kind of hallucination. I felt as if countless blood-red threads were piercing through my hands and legs, and I was completely unable to move!

It was his mental suppression!

Previously, I was able to withstand the mental attacks of Nightingale and Owl, two psionicists, because my own mental power was not completely crushed. But this time it's different. My mental power has been weakened by 45%, and I am completely unable to resist their mental attacks!

"Boss!"

Fortunately, the girl from the bathroom rushed out, her pistol locked on Scorpion's head, and fired three quick shots in quick succession!
"Brother Han!"

Cai Cai kicked open the wardrobe, locked the submachine gun in her arms onto the opponent's head, and fired continuously with "bang bang bang", causing a lot of damage. It has to be said that the output of a high-level firepower hand in the early stage is truly terrifying!
"You are seeking death!"

Scorpion roared, his five fingers flew, and his mental power exploded. Instantly, streaks of blood-red threads crisscrossed in the ward. Although the three of us tried our best to dodge, we could not completely avoid them, and our health bars dropped rapidly!
"1228!"

"988!"

"1021!"

"1117!"

"985!"

……

It must be said that the damage output of a level 35 psionicist is indeed very high!

In the air, more than half of the crimson threads were heading towards me, so without further hesitation, after using a first aid kit, I immediately activated the Annihilation Rock Armor!

"Shh!"

A large amount of elemental energy surged out of my body, transforming into golden rock armor that appeared around me. Although it was constantly annihilating, it also greatly reduced the damage from the opponent's attacks, keeping my health bar above 50%!

At this moment, the armor-piercing effect of the Heavenly Craftsmanship was in its final few seconds. Without further hesitation, I immediately locked onto the window position and instantly launched the Burst Charge!
"Pong!"

Scorpio's body sank, and he froze on the spot!
The Legion Blade's light surged, instantly unleashing a seven-hit combo of basic attack + Dragon Blade + basic attack + Bloodthirst + basic attack on the opponent. Unfortunately, after the strength attribute was reduced by 45%, the damage dealt was quite unsatisfactory. Even though the opponent's armor was almost completely stripped away by the Heavenly Craftsmanship, the entire combo only dealt a little over 3000 damage!

In the early game, the fixed damage of firearms is more reliable!
I suddenly looked down and switched my primary weapon back to the bomb gun, loaded a full magazine, and fired a barrage of shots at the opponent's face at close range. Scorpion's head immediately began to shake violently, and he was in great pain from the blows.

Cai Cai also switched magazines and quickly started firing wildly at Scorpion's face!
In the distance, a searchlight shone on Scorpion's back, and then several figures pounced over. The Red Dragon Kingdom soldiers guarding the sanatorium had finally arrived!

"You bastards!"

At that moment, Scorpio's face contorted in rage as he roared, "Even if I can't go back, I'll drag you all down to hell with me!"

Under the relentless crushing force of mental power, countless blood-red threads appeared in the ward, like the silk of a silkworm cocoon, trying to envelop the three of us inside!

[Battle Warning: Please note that Scorpio is about to activate the skill "Heavenly Net" (lv7)!]

This is his trump card!
"Holy crap, this is bad!"

Cai Cai hurriedly pulled out a first-aid kit: "Kou Mei, heal! We have no choice but to tank this ultimate attack!"

"Oh shit!"

I gritted my teeth and didn't care about anything else. Even if I died alone, it would be better than dragging Cai Cai and Kou Mei to die here together. That would be too much of a loss!
So he instantly rushed forward, slamming all his strength into Scorpio's body, and at the same time pulled out a grenade, pulled out the pin with a "click" and stuffed it into his arms!
"you……"

Scorpio was a somewhat older man, so he was wearing Antarctic thermal underwear, with the hem tucked into his pants, making it difficult to remove the grenade!
He tried to struggle, but I grabbed him and pulled him into my arms, causing us to fall from the second floor. At the same time, I pulled out all the grenades I had and stuffed them into his arms. The explosive power of these grenades was enough to wipe out his remaining health!

"Peng~~"

The two of us fell to the ground together. I showed no sign of letting go. At this moment, my health bar was also weakened by 45% due to severe injury. My health, which should have been 1.31, was reduced to only 7000+. Moreover, most of it had already been taken away by the opponent. If the grenade exploded, I would definitely die.

……

"033, you're insane!"

Scorpio's face twisted violently: "You killed me using a suicide attack, so you think you won't have to die yourself?!"

"No, you really don't need to."

I whispered in his ear.

Then he unleashed his burst attack – Wasteland Fire!
"Shh!"

A ray of golden light enveloped his entire body; he was now invincible!
"you……"

Scorpio seemed to have seen this energy before; his face turned ashen, and the grenade inside his Antarctic thermal underwear was about to explode!

"Peng——"

With a loud bang, the first grenade exploded!

Scorpion's body began to shatter, followed by the second, the third... all eight grenades exploded in succession, and Scorpion's health bar disappeared almost instantly, his body blown to pieces!
Taking advantage of the smoke, I swiftly moved away and hid in the stairwell.

At the same time, a series of tinkling sounds came from my ears—

Congratulations! You have defeated the Scorpion (blue BOSS) and obtained the item: BOSS Ability Crystal x1!

[Battle Notification: You have defeated the Scorpion (Blue BOSS), gaining 320000 character experience points. The Yuanli Furnace extracted 160000 experience points!]

[Congratulations! You have completed the daily quest "Scorpion's Revenge" (Rank A), and have received the following rewards: Character Experience +400000, "Dual Heart Resonance" (Rank A Skill Tome)!] ...

"Boss!"

Koumi's voice came through the team chat: "How are you?"

"It's okay, I have an invincible burst skill."

"oh oh……"

She breathed a sigh of relief.

I glanced at the rewards and immediately opened the BOSS's Ability Crystal, gaining some experience points. Fortunately, the quest reward was an A-grade skill manual, which seemed to be a skill for the unpopular "Gene Warrior" class.

My gaze lingered on the secret text for a moment, and suddenly lines of text floated up!

【Dual Heart Resonance】(Rank A Skill Manual): Tier 2, activates the second heart to overload blood pumping, temporarily increases physical recovery speed by 50% for 5 minutes. Required level: 24. Required profession: Gene Warrior.

……

As expected, it's a common skill among gene warriors.

In the setting of "Star Abyss", in order to withstand the high intensity of combat and the requirements of using power armor, most gene warriors wearing power armor have to undergo constant physical enhancement. Through gene mutation and surgery, they usually have two hearts and multiple lung lobes. Two hearts and three lungs are already basic operations.

Dual-heart resonance is a basic skill for gene warriors. Once activated, it grants them a powerful stamina recovery speed, enabling them to fight for longer periods.

This skill is rare in the market, and the price is estimated to be quite high.

I quickly went upstairs.

"Cai Cai!"

"here I am!"

He emerged from the smoke of the explosion, looking disheveled: "What happened, bro?"

"Take this and help me sell it later!"

I shoved the Dual Heart Resonance skill manual into his hand and said, "Take Kou-mei and leave immediately, or I'll have trouble explaining myself later."

"Okay, Kou-mei, let's go!"

The two quickly disappeared into the night.

Soon after, a large number of military and police personnel surrounded the area.

"Ding Han!"

A young super-martial artist wearing the Great Wall Guardian insignia swept over: "Are you alright?"

"fine."

I shook my head and said, "Luckily I dodged quickly, or he would have blown me up."

"..."

He frowned: "That person is..."

“A psionic officer of the Dark Tide.”

"I see……"

He went downstairs and confirmed the killer's identity with a group of security personnel. After that, Director Li appeared and changed my ward.

"Should we tell Cheng Shuang about this?" he asked.

"Need not."

I shook my head: "Don't disturb her rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm free anyway."

"Ok!"

He nodded emphatically: "We didn't expect that these lunatics from the Dark Tide would actually infiltrate Jiangning City. It was an oversight on our part. Don't worry, we will strengthen our security measures from now on."

I didn't say much, I just followed the two delicate-looking nurses to a new ward.

……

The hospital didn't ask much about the assassin, which was probably the Great Wall Watch's idea. They told me not to ask things I shouldn't ask, since I already had a lot of secrets to hide.

At 12:20, I finally lay down on a new hospital bed.

"Brother Han."

In the team chat, Cai Cai laughed and said, "Did you get this skill book from an opening chest?"

"No, it's a quest reward. I got experience from opening the chest."

"Congratulations."

He laughed and said, "This skill book is in high demand. It's already been sold for around 100,000 on the dark web. After you sell it, do you want the money or something else?"

"You can help me buy the supplies."

I thought for a moment and said, “Replenish with ten explosive grenades and five RPG-32 rockets. If there are any left, use them all to buy armor-piercing rounds for the Hellfire Bomb Gun.”

"OK, leave it to me!"

Cai Cai said, "Kou Mei and I are leaving. Good night and sweet dreams. You're injured, so get some rest!"

"What's the use of resting..."

I said helplessly, "My countdown to serious injury is a fixed time, and no amount of rest will shorten it."

"Anyway, I'm not going to care about you anymore. I'm taking Kou Mei to JB District to eat crayfish."

Cai Cai laughed and stopped talking, focusing instead on getting Kou Mei on her way.

……

The next day, early morning.

After a series of hurried footsteps, Cheng Shuang pushed open the door to the new ward: "Ding Han, are you alright?"
