Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 96 Killing Vega!

"puff!"

"3024!"

Attack weak points for massive damage increase!
But the next second, Vega threw away the power sword in his right hand, and his two large hands instantly grabbed my head, a sinister smile appearing on his lips: "033, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Ding Han!!"

Gunshots flew like dragons, Zhang Ruolin and others were shocked.

Vega is a "super gene warrior". After multiple gene enhancements and surgeries, his body is different from ordinary people, standing at about 3 meters tall. With the addition of power armor, his height is close to 4 meters, making me look extremely small in front of him. The moment my head was grabbed, I had a sense that I might die!

"Om~~~"

The power boxing gloves hummed as they cut through the air!

This punch is almost certainly fatal!

But the moment the power gauntlet landed, my body trembled violently, and all the power of the gauntlet struck the golden light shield on my body.

It's the invincible burst skill carried by the Wasteland Fire Ring, Wasteland Fire!
"Concentrate your firepower and take him down, quickly!"

Gunshots flew like a dragon, and in a fit of rage, he fired his submachine gun incessantly.

Meanwhile, I forcefully pressed my left hand into the groove of the power armor's neck, and with my right hand, I swung my sword continuously, unleashing a full combo of attacks—a basic attack, a dragon blade attack, a basic attack, a blood-draining frenzy, and another basic attack—all of which landed right in the opponent's throat.

"die!"

Just as the invincibility skill was about to end, he fiercely plunged the Legion Blade into the opponent's right eye!

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered everywhere. It was another weak point attack, and it triggered a critical hit, dealing a huge "4024" points of damage!

But why is his health bar so long? It's only a tiny bit of health left, and it just won't disappear...

"Shua~~~"

The next moment, the power of the Wasteland Fire continued to annihilate and dissipate into dust. The wisp of fire in the ring disappeared and would take 120 minutes to re-condense.

I can't wait any longer...

"Let's go to hell together!"

Vega's face was covered in blood, and he had gone completely mad. He exerted force with his left hand, and the power boxing gloves hummed as he punched hard!

I used the last of my strength to take out the Randall's Shield, which was better than nothing in terms of blocking the attack!
"Puff puff~~~"

With two soft thuds, the shield and breastplate shattered almost simultaneously. Immediately afterward, a sharp pain shot through his chest. The SS-level elemental furnace within his body began to operate frantically, generating a large amount of elemental energy to protect its master. Unfortunately, this time it couldn't hold on!

"Pong!"

With a loud bang, I shuddered and felt as if my chest had vanished!
[Battle Warning: Your Anthem Armor has been destroyed due to an attack by [Grey Worm Chapter Commander Vega] (Purple Boss)!]

[Battle Warning: Your Randall's Shield has been destroyed due to the attack of [Grey Worm Chapter Commander Vega] (Purple Boss)!]

[Battle Alert: Due to the attack of [Grey Worm Legion Commander Vega] (Purple BOSS), you have lost 11600 HP. [Elemental Furnace] (SS-rank) has reduced the damage by 8764!]

[Battle Notification: You have entered the [Minor Injury] state!]

[Battle Warning: You have entered a state of [Severe Wound]!]

[Battle Warning: You have entered a near-death state!]

……

At the same time, Vega's head exploded, and his health bar was finally depleted!

[Congratulations! You have defeated [Grey Worm Chapter Commander Vega] (purple BOSS) and obtained the item: [BOSS Ability Crystal] x1!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated [Grey Worm Chapter Commander Vega] (Purple BOSS), gaining 1240000 character experience points. The Elemental Furnace extracted 620000 experience points!]

……

As Vega collapsed with a thud, my body followed suit.

At this moment, I could no longer feel the excruciating pain. My consciousness began to blur, and the whole world turned upside down. I seemed to hear Zhang Ruolin and Cai Cai's heart-wrenching screams, but I was no longer able to respond.

In the blurred vision, a large amount of light poured down from the sky, and warriors wearing red power armor were continuously airdropped down. They stood behind Qiang Churu and the others, wearing the emblem of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom on their chests.

The Crimson Dragon Legion has finally arrived.

The next second, I completely lost consciousness, as if I had said goodbye to this world.

……

I fell into a dream, and it was a very long dream.

I heard the sound of flowing water and the whistles of cargo ships, and I saw Lu Xiaobei.

Just like before, she wore a casual long dress and a coat, exuding a sunny and free-spirited vibe.

"Ding Han!"

She smiled radiantly: "You promised me, when will we go back to Xicheng and reopen our Feiyang Internet Cafe? I miss the internet cafe so much, and I miss everyone."

"Xiao Bei, I..."

"Just tell me, when exactly?"

Suddenly, rain began to fall from the sky, dark clouds rolled in, and a strong wind blew.

Lu Xiaobei was soaked to the bone, but she still stood in the raging wind and rain, crying, "I have nightmares every day, I want to go back to the past..."

……

The image suddenly became blurry.

I appeared downstairs in the apartment complex. Li Xiang, standing beside me, wiggled his hips and laughed loudly, "Ding Han, are you any good? Aren't you supposed to be the all-around king of Street Fighter? How come your Ken can't even beat my Chun-Li?"

"Keep showing off, I'll beat you to a pulp sooner or later."

"Pah, all you do is brag. If you're so tough, go ahead and hit me now..." The chubby boy was very smug, twisting and turning.

I glanced at the small stool under his butt and then a plan came to me.

"Ding Han..."

Just as I was about to strike at the heart of the matter, a voice suddenly came from behind me. Lin Qingying was standing there, no longer so serious, but with a gentle smile, saying, "Stop bullying Li Xiang all the time..."

……

Lin Qingying's figure began to blur.

The next moment, I saw a round, chubby guy walk over; it was Fatty.

"Ding Han!"

The fat man laughed heartily: "Finally found you... Come on, come on, I just got a 'return code,' do you know what it's used for?"

"What?"

"Open your character panel, find the return button, enter the return code, and we can go back to the real world!"

"real!?"

"Why would I lie to you? Hurry up and type, let's go home! I've been thinking about Auntie's cooking for a while now, I've been starving these past few days in 'Star Abyss'!"

"Damn it, what are we waiting for? Quick, give me the return code!"

Just as I reached out to ask for it, the fat man's figure began to blur.

Then came another chaotic and long dream.

I think I'm probably sick, and I'm afraid I'll never wake up again.

……

I don't know how much time passed, but finally, in the long and dark dream, I seemed to see a glimmer of light. I followed that light for a very long time, until finally, the light grew bigger and became the exit of a cave.

As I shoveled through the mud and crawled out of the cave, my consciousness finally began to return!
"call……"

He let out a long sigh of relief, his consciousness gradually returned, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

All I could see was a ceiling. I was lying in a hospital bed, looking at the sign that read "Jiangning Binjiang Rehabilitation and Convalescence". Just as I turned my head, a figure came into view.

She was wearing a black coat, her back to me, silently looking out the window.

"you……"

I made a little noise.

"you're awake?"

She turned around quickly, and a beautiful face immediately came into view. Bright eyes, delicate features, and perfectly proportioned features all indicated that she was a great beauty.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

I whispered, feeling very weak inside.

"My name is Cheng Shuang."

She looked at me: "Cheng Feng's sister."

"..."

I hesitated, the image of Cheng Feng before his death flashing through my mind.

"This is Jiangning City."

Cheng Shuang continued, "Seven days have passed since the end of the Battle of Xicheng. It was Captain Qin and his team who brought you here for emergency treatment. Do you know that you lay in the ICU for seven whole days before you finally caught your breath?"

She frowned slightly: "Those days, I almost thought you wouldn't make it."

"About Brother Cheng Feng."

I whispered, "I'm sorry..."

"You don't have to say you're sorry."

Cheng Shuang said, "My brother is a stubborn person. He told me that since joining the Great Wall Watch, he has long since disregarded life and death. Perhaps this is the ending he wanted."

"How is Xicheng?" I asked.

"The situation has been quelled."

Cheng Shuang said, "I heard that after the Crimson Dragon Legion sent troops, the Dark Tide's Gray Worm Battle Group was almost completely wiped out. Now Xicheng has been incorporated into the territory of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom and has become the 13th city in our Jiangning Province."

Jiangning Province, Jiangning City... 13 cities...

I suddenly felt speechless.

"Don't move, I'll go get the doctor."

After Cheng Shuang stood up, she straightened her skirt, turned around and said, "Don't worry too much. This is the best sanatorium in the province. Just focus on recovering. I will take care of you during this time."

"..."

After Cheng Shuang left, I struggled to lift my head and looked at my chest. Despite being hit hard by the power gauntlets, my body hadn't completely disintegrated. This was probably thanks to the protective effect of the Yuanli Furnace. The scar was currently wrapped in gauze, so there was no clue. But it should indeed be as Cheng Shuang said, that I just need to take good care of my injury.

The doctor arrived shortly afterward.

After examining him, he smiled and said, "Young man, your recovery speed far exceeds my expectations, that's really good... Stay here and rest well. Cheng Shuang has volunteered to take care of you, you can tell her if you need anything."

I nodded: "Thank you, doctor."

The doctor left, and Cheng Shuang followed behind, seemingly wanting to ask him something.

……

I closed my eyes and silently recited in my mind: "Character panel."

The next moment, a series of tinkling sounds rang in my ears—
