Chapter 236: Extremes Meet
Ye Su hadn't expected this glass to be harder than steel. Even high-strength steel would have been like dough after so many punches.
Ye Su stopped and looked at the glass, lost in thought. Clearly, hammering it hard wouldn't break it.
"How is it? You're just a tiny superhuman, so don't waste your effort. By the way, you can try the alloy walls around you—it's warship alloy!"
Seeing Ye Su stop the bombardment, the "Mediterranean" thought he had given up. *How can that be?* The "Mediterranean" opened the control panel, preparing to add some "seasoning" for Ye Su.
Ye Su ignored his mockery and walked straight to the corner. He saw the glass was embedded in the alloy surrounding it. It was likely sealed with glue to prevent gas leakage.
However, due to the vibrations from Ye Su's attacks, some of these glue strips had detached from the joints.
Ye Su reached out and peeled off the rubber from the alloy. A blue electric arc shot out from the alloy wall. Ye Su immediately felt a numbness starting from his palm, traveling up his arm and straight to his heart.
George, who had just been lying on the ground, bounced off the alloy floor. The "soul dancer" was officially online, and a smell of urine permeated the air.
Ye Su frowned and touched the back of his hand. The air was a bit too humid, and a tingling sensation came from his skin.
Ye Su knew this must be another dirty trick by the "Mediterranean," but he wasn't in the mood to deal with him. He just looked at the glass and calculated rapidly in his mind.
Before long, Ye Su's hair became damp, and large drops of water dripped down from time to time. Electric sparks appeared in the air, even forming miniature lightning.
And George had already collapsed on the ground with a charred face. If it weren't for his chest still rising and falling slightly, he would have been dead.
Just then, Ye Su opened his eyes and shook the water droplets from his hair. The scattered droplets created small electric sparks in the void.
Ye Su came to the bottom right corner of the glass, palm spread, fist clenched, and punched in one fluid motion. The rapid impact caused the hard glass to shatter inch by inch.
"This... how is this possible?"
The "Mediterranean's" eyes widened. This was glass that could withstand artillery fire! It had been shattered by this plain, unremarkable punch.
He had clearly seen that kid use all his strength with punches and kicks earlier and fail to break it. The "Mediterranean" looked at the scene in disbelief.
"Extremes meet, and at the peak of Yang, it must decline. You might not understand this, but if I say 'Achilles' heel,' you should be very familiar with it."
Seeing Ye Su step over, the "Mediterranean" hurriedly pulled a firearm from his waist, pointed it at Ye Su, and said excitedly:
"What Achilles' heel? This is clearly Eastern sorcery!"
As he spoke, he fired a shot at Ye Su. Ye Su had been prepared for this strange firearm and didn't dare to be arrogant, dodging the gun's beam the moment the "Mediterranean" fired.
The effect of the firearm also shocked Ye Su. A large hole was melted into the alloy wall behind him, as if it had been swallowed by high temperatures the moment it was touched by that deep blue light.
For a firearm capable of such functions, a term instantly surfaced in Ye Su's mind: Tachyon Disintegration Gun.
*No, wait. Since I can see the color and it generates high heat, it definitely isn't tachyons. Then the thing in the "Mediterranean's" hand must be a plasma electrolysis gun.*
Ye Su hadn't expected that laser weapons, which he hadn't even figured out yet, were already in use here...
Ye Su didn't wait for the "Mediterranean" to react; he snatched the firearm and began studying it. However, this type of firearm clearly wasn't something U.S. technology could produce.
Ye Su stroked the smooth casing of the firearm, more certain than ever that this was an alien weapon. *I'll take it back for them to study.*
Ye Su looked at the "Mediterranean," who was scared limp on the ground, and turned the muzzle toward him.
"Don't kill me! I'll give you whatever you want, and I can tell you the secrets here."
"What secrets? Aliens? I already know. And whatever I want, I can just go take it."
In the "Mediterranean's" terrified eyes, a blue light appeared and engulfed him. The next second, he disappeared from this world forever.
Ye Su looked at the firearm in his hand with satisfaction, thinking about handing it to Guan Meng to study later. If they could figure out a Tachyon Disintegration Gun, it would be a profit; if not, a disintegration cannon would be pretty useful too.
Ye Su pushed open the door on the "Mediterranean's" side to leave, but turned and saw the miserable George. *After all, we've known each other for a while.*
Ye Su checked and found that this guy was actually still alive. A plan immediately formed in his mind, but the most important thing right now was to destroy the surveillance within the experimental base.
Using the terminal on the computer, Ye Su quickly found the location of the main control room. Before leaving, he placed George under the terminal, hoping he wouldn't be discovered.
Pushing open the door on the "Mediterranean's" side, he found two soldiers guarding the entrance. As they habitually saluted, Ye Su took advantage of their lack of preparation and delivered two palm strikes.
After dragging them into the interrogation room, Ye Su looked at their military uniforms, then at his own bulky hazmat suit, and instantly had an idea.
After changing into the military uniform, a fully armed soldier appeared in the corridor, walking openly toward the main control room below.
Arriving at the security door on the level below, Ye Su took out the soldier's ID card and swiped it at the access control, passing through safely.
Ye Su retrieved the access card and reached the next level's access control smoothly, but when he swiped the card, he was prompted that he had no authorization.
"Knew it wouldn't be that simple."
Ye Su picked up the disintegration gun and fired at the alloy door, quickly melting a small door large enough for one person to pass through.
Before he could slip inside, Ye Su heard a loud sound of footsteps coming from within. He felt annoyed—*how could it be such a coincidence?*
Ye Su hid behind the door, watching the corner of the corridor. The sound grew closer, and soon a figure appeared at the corner.
Ye Su raised his gun and fired. A "thud" of someone falling to the ground followed—a kill with one shot. Then, a mechanical synthesized voice echoed in the corridor.
"Intruder detected. Entering emergency alert!"
Then, a team of mechanical dogs charged up without fear of death. Ye Su's head grew large; he hadn't expected the final layer of defense to be these mechanical soldiers.
However, they were similar to Transformers. Ye Su didn't dare to be arrogant and picked up his gun to fire point-blank. Before long, most of those mechanical dogs had disappeared.
Just then, Ye Su felt a sense of unease in his heart and hurriedly threw himself to the ground. The alloy wall where he had been standing just a moment ago melted into molten iron.
Ye Su admired these machines; they actually knew how to sneak attack, comparable to human artificial intelligence.
There was no time to think; the mechanical dogs had already pounced. Ye Su curved his palm and slapped it directly toward the mechanical dog squad behind.
Then, he leaped away at high speed. Sure enough, red laser beams appeared behind Ye Su. If he had been any slower, he would have been burned to ash by the dense lasers.
Sitting and waiting for death wasn't Ye Su's style, so he accelerated and stepped over the heads of the mechanical dogs.
He stomped on the dog heads, and the mechanical dogs Ye Su stepped on all entered a "crash" state. Just as Ye Su walked halfway, he saw the energy gathering at the muzzles of the mechanical soldiers at the opposite corridor entrance.
The mechanical dogs under his feet also reacted, extending chainsaw-like tails upward, and the mechanical dogs behind also closed in.
Seeing this fatal scene, Ye Su hurriedly rushed toward the side wall. The powerful inertia carried Ye Su to take two steps directly on the wall.
However, it was hard to generate friction on the smooth alloy wall. Ye Su clearly calculated this, kicked off the wall, and flew into mid-air.
He narrowly avoided the laser gun fire, but the wall behind him wasn't so lucky, being melted into a large hole.
Ye Su was now in the air with nowhere to borrow force, free-falling toward the pack of mechanical dogs.
Clearly, the mechanical dogs felt this too, and their tails vibrated rapidly. If he fell into those dense saw blades, he would probably be dismembered.
Feeling the wind from the high-speed rotating saw blades, Ye Su had a look of disdain on his face. His fingers moved slightly, pulling the trigger of the disintegration gun at his waist. The intense blue light collided with the high-speed rotating gears.
Sure enough, high-speed particle rotation was faster. The mechanical dogs beneath the light disintegrated directly, and a blank space appeared on the ground.
Ye Su borrowed force from his feet and darted forward. Sparks flew everywhere at his previous position, and several mechanical dogs were sent flying directly.
It turned out that when the mechanical dogs saw the blank space in the middle, they stretched their tails over, intending to keep Ye Su there. As a result, they used too much force, and the high-speed rotating tails of several mechanical dogs collided, the huge kinetic energy sending them flying.
Ye Su had already escaped the encirclement of the mechanical dogs and charged toward the mechanical soldiers. As for the mechanical dogs in chaos behind him, they couldn't keep up for a while.
The mechanical soldiers, after another failed shot, dropped their laser guns and pulled out cold weapons: swords, spears, and short blades.
Every three soldiers formed a "Three Talents" formation. Ye Su frowned; he hadn't expected this mechanical intelligence to plagiarize the wisdom of China's ancestors.
Although they didn't have shields, these mechanical soldiers clearly didn't need them. Long, medium, and short weapons ensured he couldn't get close. Clearly, this was the result of intelligent optimization.
Ye Su sighed. *Fortunately, it's not the 'Mandarin Duck' formation, otherwise, who could handle those wolf-brush spears?*
"Did you pay patent fees for using the formation? Let me tell you, times have changed!"
Ye Su didn't talk about martial arts and fired directly. The team bearing the brunt was crippled. Ye Su wanted to fire again, but a long spear had already thrust toward him.
This was something Ye Su had intentionally left. Although "one inch longer is one inch stronger," in this narrow corridor, it couldn't be deployed, and it was just right for him to handle.
Catching the spear shaft to block the long blade slashing from behind, Ye Su smiled at the mechanical soldier:
"Do you know I'm waiting for the cooldown?"
"?"
A blue light flashed, and the mechanical soldier's body disappeared by more than half, causing damage to the soldiers behind as well. Ye Su kicked away the mechanical soldier holding the long spear and took the falling long blade.
