Chapter 314: Equipment

Although the adversary was tough in words, he couldn't hold out much longer.

With the sensory line behind his ear flashing rapidly, the strikebearer's consciousness was quickly replaced by Sun Jack's consciousness.

Even now, Sun Jack still hadn't figured out this guy's line of thinking. Why are there such people in the world who, clearly being exploited themselves, always worry about their exploiters?

If it made no sense, Sun Jack decided it was better not to think about it; he had more important things to worry about now.

Dealing with one person was extremely easy, but that still didn't solve the pressing problems, especially with them being surrounded.

Realizing Sun Jack's capabilities, the remaining employees of Gaofeng Technology had blocked all the ports with chewing gum.

At that moment, as the elevator shaft expanded threefold, enemy combat units continually emerged. His own people couldn't get in, and the number of enemies kept increasing, tilting the situation overwhelmingly against them.

Watching the death rate on the system interface continuously turn red, let alone reaching the spacecraft carrier, if this continued, they'd all be trapped to die here by the corporate forces of Gaofeng Technology.

Amidst the crisis, an idea suddenly flashed in Sun Jack's mind. He thought of a desperate solution. "Tapai, didn't you say the Sky-base Weapon had one shot left? Target it right in front of me, right where their combat units are concentrated, and fire!"

"The Sky-base Weapon's battery will be completely drained after that; it won't even be able to fly."

"It has to come down to recharge eventually anyway. Without power, it's just a flying stick! Let it come down! Just make sure it doesn't break on impact!"

As the number of enemies before him increased and the incoming bullets almost formed a barrage, Sun Jack pointed violently with his right hand, and a blinding white light instantly illuminated everything.

Under the intense light, not only were Sun Jack's eyes instantly fried like sunny-side up eggs, but the scorching heat also caused his bionic skin to curl and yellow. At that moment, Sun Jack truly realized the power of the Sky-base Weapon.

Sun Jack retreated frantically, shouting around him, "I'm blind! Who has a spare Artificial Eye?"

The Matrix rushed to his side, teeth clenched, struggling to support him, "Use mine! I just got new eyes!"

When Sun Jack opened his deep blue mechanical Artificial Eyes again, he saw a huge crater formed by molten red iron beneath him, slowly emitting distorted heat. You could forget about eight levels underground, this could reach to the eighteenth level of Hell.

The enemies from before had disappeared. He didn't know if they had been vaporized or had run away, but the entire fifth underground level was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, a whistling sound arose as the long Sky-base Weapon fell straight down, plunging into the steaming crevice.

The violent vibration upon impact made Sun Jack seriously worry whether this powerful weapon he had commandeered was damaged.

"Tapai! Are you alright?" Sun Jack immediately jumped onto the Sky-base Weapon, sliding down at an angle, anxiously inquiring through the system.

"No... no problem, a little force like this, the Sky-base Weapon can withstand it."

"Damn, I was asking if you were alright!"

"If I wasn't alright, could I still be talking to you? You moron!"

"Where's AA?"

"Boss, I'm okay, just feeling really dizzy."

Sliding down the long rod, Sun Jack between the 6th and 7th floors, saw some very special equipment and prosthetic bodies composed of lightweight alloys and biological fiber materials based on the system scan feedback.

These metal armors were completely different from those on Steelheart, especially flexible, almost like clothes, likely the new stuff from Gaofeng Technology.

"Steelheart! Take the remaining survivors and loot the 6th and 7th floors for me!" After giving this order, Sun Jack headed straight to the eighth floor to search for the nuclear reactor.

As soon as he reached the eighth floor underground, a spherical pressure vessel, the size of half a football field, appeared before Sun Jack, buzzing as it supplied energy to the skyscrapers above through a network of cables.

Sun Jack didn't know much about this device, but he was sure, it was absolutely enough to power the Sky-base Weapon.

Just then, AA, having just been pushed out of a hatch in the Sky-base Weapon, was vomiting profusely outside. Sun Jack immediately walked towards her clutching her. "Did you bring the toolbox? Get to work now!"

Although AA looked pale, she still started to search for isotopes, tolerating her discomfort. Despite her short stature, fortunately, she had help from others.

Without considering any safety hazards, the entire giant nuclear reactor was quickly breached from the outside, and with a snap, the reactor shut down completely, causing a complete power outage at Gaofeng Technology, plunging everything into darkness.

"Boss, don't come in here, I'm dismantling the core, and the radiation seems a bit strong."

"Don't rush, be careful! The more stable, the better." Although Sun Jack said this, how could he not be anxious at this moment, their lives hanging by the thread on the Sky-base Weapon.

He was about to contact Abu outside to inquire about the surface situation when he saw Steelheart cursing and walking over with the flexible metal armors. "No good, these things are completely unusable!"

"What?"

"Take a look for yourself; I recognize all the gear on the market, and this crap is all unmarketed prototypes," Steelheart said as he pulled out a data cable from the armor and handed it to Sun Jack.

When Sun Jack connected it to his own port, the armor's various data quickly appeared in front of him, and he understood why Steelheart had said that.

What popped up was the so-called gene adaptation interface; the armor's internal padding was genetically coded to perfectly fit with the wearer's cells, enhancing sensory perception for tactical awareness and further enhancing the perception of gene modifiers.

All these items were inevitably for the third level gene modifiers; they were conducting gene modification experiments while also developing Mechas adapted for genetic enhancements.

Gaofeng Technology was working on multiple fronts, not only seeking powerful physical combatants enhanced by genetics but also using their advanced weapon technologies to further broaden genetic advantages.

"Normal people can't wear these at all; nothing from the 6th and 7th floors can enhance our strength in the slightest," Steelheart said in exasperation.

"Forget it; if you guys can't wear them, then I will! Bring all the stuff over to me!"

Glancing at the motionless nuclear reactor behind him, Sun Jack felt that instead of waiting, it would be better to enhance his own capabilities first.

Soon, all the items from the 6th and 7th floors were delivered in front of Sun Jack, one set after another, and as he donned them, his system kept popping up various prosthetic body connection requests.
