Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 82 Hellfire-11, Purple Bomb Gun! (Added Chapter 18, Complete!)

"died?"

Cai Cai looked at us in surprise.

"perhaps……"

I frowned, my heart pounding, and rushed towards the reeds with the Roarer in my arms, saying, "Let's go check it out, be careful, don't alert them!"

Amidst the rustling sounds, the group passed through the reeds and immediately saw the scene ahead.

The player named "I'm in the Atmosphere" was lying on the ground, his body mangled and riddled with bullets. The one who killed him was a Dark Tide soldier wearing second-generation power armor, accompanied by a group of Grey Worm Legion soldiers, who were besieging the few remaining Stream City defenders in the reeds.

"superior?!"

Cai Cai said in the team chat: "Ding Han, devise a strategy, otherwise some of us might also die."

"Ah."

I nodded: "Cai Cai, Ruo Lin, you two go around to the left and launch an attack from the flank. I'll take Yan Ye and Fei Zi and attack from the front. Don't rush. I'll use two RPGs to clear out the ordinary soldiers first. After I finish those two RPGs, we'll rush out together. Watch out for that second-generation armored BOSS. Don't fight him head-on!"

"Row!"

Ruolin and Caicai quickly rushed into the reeds on one side.

"Ding Han..."

The Garden of Words, carrying a green monomolecular sword, looked worried: "I'm a little nervous..."

"Don't be nervous, just treat them like ordinary monsters."

While calming her down, I lowered myself into the reeds and took out my RPG, aiming at the area where the Grey Worm Legion soldiers were most concentrated!
"Shh!"

After one rocket-propelled grenade was launched, it was quickly reloaded, and before anyone could react, the second one was launched!
"Puff puff~~~"

A deafening roar echoed through the swamp, and a dense array of damage numbers shot into the air!

"4982!"

"5099!"

"10434!"

"5218!"

……

Almost all of them were instantly killed. The ordinary soldiers of the Grey Worm Legion were all level 30 elite monsters with only 3000+ total health. They couldn't withstand the RPG's bombardment at all!
"rush!"

I instantly put away my RPG, switched to my primary weapon, the Howler, and rushed out before the smoke cleared. The Howler fired continuously, and in the blink of an eye, it wiped out a group of low-health Grey Bug Legion soldiers. Only the blue BOSS wearing second-generation power armor remained on the battlefield!
"Crack!"

He pressed down hard on the hilt of his sword, and the tip pierced through the armor of a Xicheng garrison soldier, penetrating his heart. Amidst the splattering of blood, the Xicheng garrison soldier looked horrified, his eyes filled with resentment.

"A bunch of trash, you think you're worthy of fighting me?"

The power armored soldier raised his hand, drew his longsword, and sneered, "Die, all of you!"

As he spoke, he quickly ran towards Cai Cai and Ruo Lin!

"Depend on……"

Cai Cai lowered her body and fired bursts of fire with her submachine gun, but she couldn't damage the opponent's health at all. Before the second-generation armor was broken, the player's damage was actually ineffective at this stage.

The next second, the power armor soldier suddenly raised his longsword and aimed it straight at Cai Cai's head!

"..."

Cai Cai was dumbfounded, probably not expecting that the person wearing power armor would be so fast and agile. It was just too unreasonable!
"careful!"

Ruolin suddenly rushed forward and raised her shield to block in front of Cai Cai!

Amidst a shower of sparks, Ruolin and her shield were blasted away, a large damage number floating above her head—

"3983!"

She was almost beaten into a minor injury. The Dark Tide soldier wearing power armor had an extraordinary burst of power, which even Ruolin, a top shield-type super weapon in the Xicheng region, could not withstand!

"Pong!"

Just as the power armor soldier raised his left hand and his machine gun spun rapidly, I quickly used a burst of energy to pierce through his body. Then I turned around, threw a Heavenly Crafting Technique at the BOSS, and then swung out Legion Blade, "crackling" out a series of fairly considerable damage numbers!

"court death!"

The power armored soldier suddenly turned around and threw a powerful punch!
I hurriedly raised my longsword to parry, but it felt like a mountain had crashed into the blade. I was sent flying backward and landed heavily in the reeds.

"2427!"

Such terrifying attack power! Even my 300+ armor couldn't withstand it at all!
"Brother Han!"

Cai Cai hurriedly opened fire with her submachine gun, moving while firing to create distance between herself and the BOSS.

The Garden of Words and Flying Nationwide also emerged, each contributing their own attacks.

"Zzzzz~~~" Just then, I suddenly saw some prompts appear on the armor of the blue BOSS in front of me. The golden cracks of the Heavenly Craftsmanship were becoming denser and more obvious. And in the cracks, the thick cables connecting the back of the boss were cracking rapidly, and a light was faintly visible!
This is a system notification!
With a "buzz," my mind went blank for a moment, then I remembered how I defeated the power armor soldiers during the closed beta!
That's right. The design of previous generations of power armor was flawed. Most of the power cables were exposed, and these cables were far less robust than the armor itself. If these cables could be cut, the entire power armor's power system could be disabled!

"Aim at the cables behind him!"

I quickly switched to the Roarer, shouted in the team chat, and then started moving around while aiming at the cable behind the BOSS, firing wildly. In the blink of an eye, I emptied the magazine. Cai Cai, Ruo Lin, and the others also aimed at the cable. With the firepower overlapping, the cable's resilience bar dropped rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was down to less than 30%!

"It's now!"

I yelled, "Kotoha, unleash your power and charge at him!"

"coming!"

The Garden of Words locked onto the BOSS's location, instantly unleashing a burst of Yuan Power, transforming into a blur as it passed through the opponent's body. The second-generation power armor soldier swayed, and a dizzying "vortex" icon appeared above his head.

I took advantage of the situation to close the distance, raised my Legion Blade, and unleashed a five-hit combo of basic attack, Bloodthirst, and basic attack, striking the cables behind the opponent. With two sharp cracking sounds, both cables snapped, and the opponent was instantly immobilized, unable to raise their sword again.

"kill!"

I retreated quickly, switched to my submachine gun, and fired almost in unison with everyone else!
"You bunch of vermin!"

The BOSS inside the power armor roared angrily. Presumably due to the power system failure, he was unable to breathe and actually opened his helmet. As the helmet rose and embedded itself in the back armor, his head appeared before everyone's eyes.

He was bald, with stitches on his forehead, and his complexion was purple, a result of multiple genetic mutations.

As expected, just as the official information in the closed beta described, most of the power armor soldiers of the Star Maple Federation and Dark Tide are genetically modified warriors. These power armor soldiers have been genetically modified to be extremely strong, and neural sensors have been implanted under their skin to achieve a more perfect coordination between the pilot and the power armor.

Unfortunately, this was ultimately a product of rudimentary genetic modification, and once the power system failed, it was doomed to die!
Aim for its head and keep firing!

Instantly, amidst the barrage of headshots, the power armor warrior's head trembled violently. His dwindling health bar vanished in the blink of an eye, transforming into two ringing sounds that echoed in his ears—

[Congratulations! You have defeated the Dark Tide Elite - Stratholme (Blue Boss) and obtained the item: 1 Boss Ability Crystal!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated 〖Dark Tide Elite - Stratholme〗 (Blue BOSS), gaining 320000 character experience points. You also gained 160000 experience points through extraction at the Elemental Forge!]

……

“Zizzizi~~~”

The moment the BOSS was killed, the power armor he was wearing detected that its owner's vital signs had disappeared and immediately initiated a self-destruct program, bursting into flames in the blink of an eye.

"..."

Nana and Kotoba were dumbfounded.

"You'll get used to it."

I stepped forward and glanced at the corpse of "This wave I'm in the atmosphere," frowned, and asked, "Does anyone have a Molotov cocktail?"

"I have."

Quan Guo Kefei took out several Molotov cocktails. He knew what I meant and immediately set fire to the corpse of "This Wave I'm in the Atmosphere". In the blink of an eye, the corpse turned into a pile of ashes.

For a moment, everyone's expression became very solemn.

We players may seem to be cheating in the game and will eventually reach the top of the food chain in the Star Abyss World, but this process is by no means easy. And it's not just this player in front of us; along the way, far too many players have died, countless in number.

"Let's go."

Cai Cai said, "Brother Han, the fighting here was too loud just now. We need to leave quickly, otherwise the Dark Tide people might be coming soon."

"Well, let's go!"

I nodded and left with the others.

In the reeds, the Garden of Words suddenly let out a delighted laugh: "I got a blue short sword from the BOSS crystal just now..."

"Really?"

Nana laughed and said, "Kotoha, congratulations! Hahaha, no wonder they say good-looking people are blessed by fate, unlike us ugly people who can't even get good stuff from opening the superpower box."

The Garden of Words smiled and said, "No, not really..."

Ruolin and Caicai opened their respective boxes, but neither of them said anything, which probably wasn't a good sign.

At this moment, I finally turned my attention to my BOSS-level psychic crystal treasure. Clearly, my role in killing this Dark Tide soldier was crucial, and I dealt the most damage. Since the Garden of Words could yield blue equipment, then mine should too…

Take it out immediately and open it!
Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Hellfire-11 Improved Version] (Quality: Purple)!

……

Purple?!
My mind went completely blank. In the setting of "Star Abyss", blue power chests do have a certain chance of yielding purple items, but the chance is like winning the lottery. During the closed beta, it was said that the specific probability of getting a reward "one level higher" was about 0.001%. I never thought I would actually stumble upon it!

Moreover, if I remember correctly, the Hellfire-11 is a legendary, powerful bomb gun!

　The 18 chapters I owed everyone have been completed. From now on, I will resume three chapters a day, and I will release more chapters when the book is available for purchase.
