If possible, Yan Luo would prefer not to reveal his strong physical abilities in front of others.
But under the circumstances at the ti, if he didn’t seize the chance to kill the Thunder Lizard, then once its rage passed, he would be the next to suffer an electric shock.
The Tenglong II exoskeleton was severely damaged, and many parts had malfunctioned. If it suffered another shock, Yan Luo felt the likelihood of sudden death was extrely high.
Between exposing his strong physical abilities and facing death, Yan Luo chose the forr.
He just didn’t expect the station chief of this outpost to notice this and even wanted to get so secrets from him.
Yan Luo realized that if he didn’t escape from the outpost, he might be captured by Ibrahim.
So, he decided to take preemptive action.
——Anyway, he and Sasa had already discussed a backup plan.
Yan Luo didn’t kill Ibrahim; he carefully controlled his strength. With the exoskeleton on, Ibrahim only broke through the infirmary door and hit a wall, which would only put him into a coma, not kill him.
Of course, this only ant there was a chance he wouldn’t die; if Ibrahim was unlucky, there was indeed a possibility of death, which would just be his misfortune.
The Central Domain Seventh Outpost is a large fortress-type structure with very complex corridors and passageways crisscrossing in all directions.
However, Yan Luo rembered the route from the garage to the infirmary, and now he was heading in that direction.
The outpost soldiers didn’t have ti to handle his exoskeleton and motorcycle, as both items were still in the garage, and Yan Luo could see their signals at the sa location through the HUD.
[Alert! Alert! Intruder detected!]
After Yan Luo knocked down Ibrahim, the outpost’s artificial intelligence classified Yan Luo as a threat and sent the intruder alert to every soldier’s personal terminal.
When they saw Yan Luo’s wanted notice, many soldiers didn’t react imdiately.
Yan Luo had just been rescued by them, how could he beco a dangerous person?
Not all soldiers hesitated; so took up weapons and ran into the corridor the mont they saw the wanted notice.
The AI monitoring the whole outpost highlighted Yan Luo’s location for the soldiers, so within seconds of running down the corridor, Yan Luo encountered two soldiers moving together.
"Don’t move! Put down your weapon!"
The mont the two soldiers saw Yan Luo, they raised their rifles, aiming at him.
Putting down his weapon and letting himself be captured? What a joke!
Yan Luo’s steps never halted, his eyes fixated on the soldiers’ shoulders and arms. The mont one soldier’s arm muscles tensed, he sidestepped, and in the next mont, swung the iron rod in his hand.
Clang!
The bullet shot by that soldier was dodged by Yan Luo, while the bullet from the other soldier was split by the iron rod.
The two soldiers were stunned, just about to continue firing when Yan Luo pounced on them.
Bam! Bam!
Yan Luo’s left arm moved like a phantom, chopping at the necks of the two soldiers, instantly knocking them unconscious.
Although he didn’t want to harm people, Yan Luo still took a rifle from one of the soldiers.
Right now, he was still flesh and blood, unable to withstand bullets; even if he didn’t kill, he at least had to think of a way to break out of the outpost.
After knocking out the two soldiers, more footsteps erged in the corridor.
There weren’t too many soldiers on the route from the infirmary to the garage, so Yan Luo didn’t have to fight the entire outpost, just the soldiers on this path.
Yan Luo continued forward, suddenly accelerating as he rounded a corner, aiming his rifle at the three behind the corner and shouted, "Don’t move! Put down your guns! I don’t kill!"
The three soldiers standing behind the corner froze, their hearts tightening at the sight of the dark muzzle.
Even though they wore exoskeletons and Yan Luo wore nothing, even an exoskeleton couldn’t shield against a few shots!
If Yan Luo was a good marksman, he could probably blow their heads off with one shot.
"Yan Luo, calm down, what on earth happened?"
Among the three soldiers facing Yan Luo, one inquired, but it was rely a stalling tactic, as he knew reinforcents were surrounding from behind Yan Luo.
As long as their teammates supported them, they’d be fine.
"Your officer isn’t playing fair and wants to probe so of my secrets, so to avoid capture, I had to knock him out first."
With just a few words, Yan Luo explained the situation. He seriously looked at the three soldiers and said, "Now I can’t stay at your outpost; let go, and I won’t kill anyone."
Although it was just a statent, the three soldiers believed it seventy percent.
Because that was sothing Ibrahim would do; their officer was such a person.
"Sorry, we can’t let you go; it’s our duty." The soldier who spoke earlier continued to exchange words with Yan Luo, knowing their teammates were getting closer.
They all focused on the rifle in Yan Luo’s hand, paying no attention to how he was shifting his body forward, inch by inch.
When he was within four ters of the three soldiers, Yan Luo suddenly lunged, with lightning speed slapped a rifle out of one soldier’s hand, chopped the second soldier’s head with his other hand, pushing him against the wall, knocking him out.
The third soldier finally reacted, turning away in horror, but Yan Luo was faster. With an outstretched arm, he yanked the soldier back, chopping the artery in his neck, rendering him unconscious.
Next, the first soldier roared and lunged at Yan Luo, attempting to grab him, but he couldn’t expect Yan Luo’s strength to exceed that of the exoskeleton.
Even with his arms restrained, Yan Luo forcefully expanded his back and chest, breaking free from the hold, and then pushed upward with his palm, striking the soldier’s jaw and knocking him out.
In barely two seconds, all three soldiers were on the ground.
Yan Luo didn’t charge forward imdiately as he heard more footsteps approaching from ahead.
Thus, Yan Luo raised his rifle, opened fire down the empty corridor ahead.
Bullets hit the walls, intimidating the soldiers rounding the far corner into stopping in their tracks.
The next mont, Yan Luo broke into a sprint, crossing the corridor in an instant, leaping up, stepping on the opposite wall for leverage, and plunged into the crowd.
Without much effort, Yan Luo swiftly knocked out all five soldiers.
Bang!
A gate suddenly dropped in front of Yan Luo, blocking his path.
[First warning, surrender peacefully, or the outpost will employ extre force!]
Surrender? As if!
Yan Luo turned his rifle, shot out the window next to him, and leaped out, landing outside the outpost.
There was no way, he couldn’t take both the motorcycle and exoskeleton, not even the Space Box stored in the motorcycle’s compartnt.
After this, he truly was left with nothing.
Yan Luo sighed, sprinting toward the entrance of the Phantom Palace.
The outpost was several thousand ters from the entrance of the Phantom Palace, which for Yan Luo, took only two minutes.
Yan Luo knew about these outposts guarding entrances; the AI couldn’t actively use defense weapons and required an officer’s authorization.
If the commanding officer died, then the second-in-command adjutant could take over and activate the defense weapons.
But the issue was, Ibrahim wasn’t dead, only unconscious, aning the adjutant couldn’t imdiately take command and would need approval from two-thirds of the outpost’s soldiers to assu control.
Otherwise, there’d be adjutants exploiting this rule to forcibly seize command.
This took ti, which Yan Luo luckily also needed.
After shedding the exoskeleton, Yan Luo’s running speed surpassed that of a cheetah’s, moving almost as if using a ’Magic’ to cover forty-two ters in a second.
"So fast!"
There were soldiers constantly watching the surveillance, thus they could see Yan Luo’s superhuman running speed.
Currently, Yan Luo wasn’t wearing an exoskeleton, and he was just an ordinary person, so how could he run so fast?
Yan Luo knew doing this would definitely expose his secrets, but would his secrets remain hidden if he fell into Ibrahim’s hands?
Given the choice, he chose freedom!
The outpost adjutant was also watching the surveillance footage, excitedly licking his lips.
"Yan Luo, you’re really doing a huge favor..."
Not only could he take command from Ibrahim shortly, seeing Yan Luo’s speed, he could also devise a way to extract Yan Luo’s secrets, trading them for wealth and even gaining powerful abilities for himself.
The adjutant sent an authorization request to all the soldiers, his heartbeat gradually accelerating, unable to hold back a laugh.
