Chapter 186: The True Strength of the Cold-blooded Butcher, The Truth Behind the So-Called Pu Cha
A long time ago, when Ren Zhong first heard the name Cold-blooded Butcher from Lin Wang, Lin Wang used this sentence to describe the person.
"On this planet, there is no Fifth Level Professional from the wastelands who can defeat this man."
After watching the multi-angled battle footage that took place in High Mountain Town this afternoon, Ren Zhong agreed with Lin Wang's somewhat exaggerated assessment.
The Cold-blooded Butcher indeed represents the pinnacle of Fifth Level Armored Soldiers.
He stands approximately two meters tall, with skin that is a bluish-black color and covered in fine scales that reflect a metallic sheen, with muscles knotted like a sculpture.
He has vertical pupils like those of a reptilian creature, with a cold gaze that lacks any humanity.
Based on his appearance, Ren Zhong speculated that this person has integrated a substantial amount of reptilian genes, which may have affected his mind.
In the previous timeline, Ren Zhong had repeatedly faced off against faceless individuals simulated as Fifth Level Armored Soldiers in the VIP area of the training ground in Zhan Sha County.
At the time, even when he repeatedly downgraded the faceless individual's capabilities, he still couldn't break through his defense, let alone inflict any damage.
In this timeline, after the company became stable, starting from the 71st day, Ren Zhong almost spent every day at the VIP area of the training ground in Liao Yuan County engaging in the same high-intensity training with the faceless individuals.
As his combat skills became more refined, Ren Zhong continued to enhance the capabilities of the faceless individuals.
However, after watching this video, Ren Zhong suddenly realized that even if he upgraded the faceless individuals to the pinnacle of Fifth Level Armored Soldiers, it would still be impossible to perfectly simulate the state of combat against the Cold-blooded Butcher.
Training and life-and-death battles are ultimately different.
Unless he removes the kill switch from the intelligent faceless robot, but that would result in a quick death for him.
From a parameter perspective, the Cold-blooded Butcher is nearly perfect, not inferior to the faceless individuals, but he possesses a real killing intent, which is an additional combat strength that can never be exhibited in training.
This person has terrifying explosive power, moving as fast as a blur.
Relying on a physiological structure different from ordinary humans, he completely ignores the body's threshold for acceleration, making directional maneuvers that even Mechanical Warriors cannot match.
Furthermore, he doesn't wear protective equipment because his skin has been completely Ruins Beastified, with defensive strength already surpassing Fifth Level Biochemical Combat Suits, even stronger than Fifth Level standard armor.
Energy weapons with power exceeding tens of thousands of kilowatts hitting him could only burn a white spot on him, which he would easily evade, rendering them fruitless.
This person hasn't entirely avoided technological equipment; several independent jet engines are installed on his waist, legs, and behind his shoulders to further enhance mobility.
The weapons he exposed in the battle at High Mountain Town were a pair of massive gauntlets and a toxic mist exhaled from his mouth that seems to bypass the filtration effect of armored air purification systems.
High Mountain Town dispatched a Fifth Level Mechanical Warrior from the wastelands.
This person had held the title of the strongest wasteland Professional in High Mountain Town for quite some time and had repeatedly applied for citizen status.
But the Mayor of High Mountain Town demanded a ten-year long-term contract from him, which he refused to submit to, unable to reach an agreement.
If this person left High Mountain Town to participate in the mercenary assessment of the nine major enterprises, he could pass it and obtain citizenship.
Yet, that would still mean facing a ten-year long-term contract with the nine corporations, still living under someone else's roof.
With a rebellious nature and already breaking through to Fifth Level at the age of thirty, he was truly unwilling to serve someone else to the end of his life, yearning instead to live a "free" life like those born citizens in town.
Therefore, even though he had become a Fifth Level Professional three years ago, he still hadn't realized upward mobility.
This time, the Mayor of High Mountain Town offered him an opportunity.
According to Source Star law, as long as he represents High Mountain Town in the Pu Cha combat strength assessment and completes the basic ten-minute battle, regardless of whether the final result is victory or defeat, he can become a Citizen on the spot.
If he won, he could directly earn enough Credit Points to become a Second Level Citizen.
So he came, intending to merely endure the ten minutes, then decisively surrender.
Although he was already aware of the Cold-blooded Butcher's ferocity, never leaving survivors, he believed that as long as he endured the ten minutes and surrendered quickly enough, he could always...
Unfortunately, he ultimately did not survive.
0.3 seconds after the battle began, the Mechanical Warrior unhesitatingly fired all his onboard ammunition.
At the same time, he continuously used reverse thrust to retreat, attempting to widen the distance between both parties.
