Chapter 32: A Commander with a Strong Appearance but a Weak Body
What Xu Yuncang didn't know was that Su Xia had already used up the last full-status card.
This is a cruel world, and death is always around.
After lying in the hot spring for more than an hour, Su Xia barely recovered to level 2.7, and there was still a long way to go.
He walked to Shu Cheng's side with Xiong Wei and whispered to comfort him: "Boss Shu, I am deeply saddened."
"Thanks……"
Shu Cheng lowered his head and his voice was hoarse.
Xiong Wei placed the insect corpse in front of him and stood silently by his side.
The corpses of insects have many uses. The shells can be used to make protective gear, the glands can be used to extract psychic energy, the brain can be used for research, and the rest of the parts can also be utilized.
In some cities , even wealthy people use special parts of insects to make wine.
The corpse of a high-level insect means a considerable fortune.
Under normal circumstances, anyone who got this body would be happy for a long time.
But Shu Cheng's eyes were dim, his heart was filled with sorrow, and he asked hoarsely: "Mr. Xiong, please bury this body. I don't want my lover to see this thing when she wakes up... It will only make her more miserable..."
"well……"
Xiong Wei didn't say much. He bent down, picked up the insect's tail full of bone spurs, and dragged the corpse out of the repair shop.
Afterwards, Shu Cheng pleaded with everyone to leave.
It was getting late, and everyone understood that this middle-aged man needed to be alone, so they left after comforting him.
But Shu Cheng stopped Su Xia and said, "Commander, you... your armor's jet power has been repaired, and the mechanical modules of the left and right arms can also be used normally. Please come to the workshop in the back and try it out."
"good."
Su Xia looked calm, realizing that Mr. Shu might have something to say, and followed him to the workshop behind the repair shop.
The studio is filled with many metal parts, semi-finished machines, armor components, etc.
In addition, there are boxes of bullets, shells, psychic bombs and other extremely lethal items in the corner.
"Commander, are there more bugs in the camp? Please don't lie to me." Shu Cheng walked to a set of black mechanical armor, supported the corner of the table with both hands, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and asked with his head down.
"Yes, it is true."
"Sure enough... I've heard people say that Zerg are social animals..."
Thinking of his dead child, Shu Cheng felt sad, but the current situation forced him to cheer up.
The murderers are still lurking in the dark, and the entire camp is facing unprecedented danger.
"Commander, you are the most powerful man in the camp. Do you think you can win?"
"Boss Shu should have the answer in his mind." Su Xia lifted up his coat, revealing the horrific scar. "If there was a chance of winning, the entire camp should have started killing insects now, instead of ending it so hastily."
"I see."
Shu Cheng lowered his head, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
The death of the child brought him not only sadness, but also a desire for revenge. He wanted to get rid of all the bugs in the camp.
But the enemy was too strong, and even the legendary Commander Bei Feng was unsure.
If an infestation breaks out, everyone in the camp might die, including his beloved wife.
Are we just going to watch the camp fall?
"Commander, how long will it take for you to recover to your strongest state?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I can upgrade your psychic armor to level 4, providing you with the best technology and firepower." Shu Cheng's eyes were red, "But level 4 armor has great requirements for the user, Commander. If your body is too weak, you may not even be able to withstand the explosive power of the armor itself."
"Okay, I'll recover as soon as possible!"
Su Xia nodded but did not give a specific time.
Judging from his recovery speed from hot springs, it might take 2-3 days, but I’m afraid something unexpected might happen .
"Boss Shu, when can I come and pick up this set of armor?"
"Three days later." Shu Cheng's time was very accurate. "Before that, Commander, you can use the mechanical modules replaced by the old armor . These modules can still be used, but they will not meet the requirements of Level 4 armor."
Shu Cheng had not lied to Su Xia before, he had indeed repaired the armor's back mechanical module.
In addition to the back module, the mechanical modules in the left palm, right palm, left calf and other parts can still be used normally, but these things are manufactured according to the standards of level 3 armor.
Su Xia can use these individual modules for the time being. It is better to have them than not.
Once he has fully recovered to level 3.6 and puts on a complete set of level 4 armor, he won't have to worry about the bugs anymore.
Shu Cheng handed the drawings of the level 4 armor to Su Xia and asked Su Xia if he had any intention of making any changes.
Overall, level 4 armor will be larger than level 3 armor because it needs to have enhanced firepower, place more missiles, and add more complex functions, such as a stronger life support system, underwater protection, poison gas protection, radiation protection, etc.
After looking at the blueprint, Su Xia shook his head and said, "Boss Shu, just make it as shown here. I have no objection."
"Okay, I'll do my best."
Level 4 armor, this is the limit of Shu Cheng's ability, he needs to use all his life's learning.
…
At the same time, in a secret wooden house, a meeting about the survival of the camp was held.
Xiong Wei sat at the head seat at the long conference table, feeling heavy-hearted, and recounted in detail what had happened before.
The participants were all key managers of the Oasis Camp, and before joining the meeting, they all cut their palms to make sure they had red human blood.
The insect's body was not buried and was now lying on the long table.
The chandelier above the secret room swayed slightly.
Under the pale light, everyone's face looked bad.
"Boss Xiong, are you sure? This bug is so strong?" Someone asked, "Didn't you say that Commander Beifeng easily dealt with it?"
"I said that for the stability of the camp." Xiong Wei sighed.
"How is the commander now?"
"The commander was seriously injured in the previous encirclement and suppression, and was tortured in the laboratory for a period of time. After escaping, he continued to fight all the way. Now... the situation is not good..."
Xiong Wei had a complicated expression and spoke quite conservatively.
In fact, he felt that Su Xia might not have the strength to fight again.
He saw Su Xia's body covered with wounds of varying sizes, from his back to his front, and there wasn't a single piece of intact skin below his neck. He felt that it was a miracle that Su Xia was still alive.
"Are there really more bugs in the camp?" someone hoped. "What if this is just a lone bug?"
Xiong Wei shook his head slowly: "Don't fool yourself, be prepared for the worst."
Hearing this, everyone present breathed a little harder.
The hideous and smelly insect corpse on the long table was like a mountain, weighing heavily on their hearts.
"Even Commander Beifeng can't do it..."
