Chapter 34

Surrounded by the superpower of shapeshifting, Bond and Chuci devised a meticulous plan to send Yin Yihan back to her hometown in one go. The first step, of course, was to firmly control the plot's male protagonist, Angus.

"Angus, come and give me a hand." Bond leaned out of the window, waving a wrench, looking quite important.

"Coming." Angus had just reunited with Cheng Rui after a long separation, and a day was not enough for them to spend time together. However, the biggest enemy was still wandering outside the military factory, so Angus knew what was at stake. He handed Cheng Rui over to Chuci, who was 'loafing around,' and hurried into the room.

Half an hour later, Chuci, James, and Angus dragged a small oil bottle, sneaking out of the military factory to avoid others. They only returned to the factory after Yin Yihan had almost finished resting and was about to launch a new attack. By then, everyone was drenched in sweat, and the three of them looked as if they had rolled in a swamp.

Just as they had changed their clothes, a contestant on guard outside called out helplessly.

"That crazy woman is back!"

With Chuci, the walking ammunition depot, supporting them, they couldn't defeat Yin Yihan, but their defensive capabilities were quite sufficient. After so many attacks and defenses, everyone had gotten used to her tactics. Apart from the first day, there were no casualties afterward.

So, while other contestants who didn't know the plan were still afraid of Yin Yihan, they were merely annoyed by her constant attacks. When it came to a real fight, they weren't afraid of her.

"Let's go, follow the plan." Chuci took the lead, walking outside and peering over the wall like the other contestants. Bond and Angus quickly informed the other contestants of the plan. Of course, Angus notified them straightforwardly, while Bond modified the plan significantly before passing it on to another random player, Hao Jun.

Even though Chuci had seen Yin Yihan's alloy armor before, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when he saw it again.

"Wow, that's impressive!"

Indeed, apart from her head, the rest of Yin Yihan's body was covered in alloy armor. The tight design accentuated her good figure. To be honest, excluding her arrogant and violent temper, she was quite beautiful. The alloy armor had a smooth, silvery finish, exuding a high-tech mechanical feel. Her ten fingers were ten laser daggers, each over twenty centimeters long. Her legs could deploy nitrogen thrusters for acceleration and transform into multifunctional probes, making it easy for her to climb trees, walls, and even glass. She also had a small Gatling gun on her shoulder, a submachine gun on her left arm, and a mini tracking missile on her right arm, making her firepower equivalent to a squad of special forces.

Chuci looked deeper, his eyes focusing on Yin Yihan's legs, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

"What? Did you spot a weakness?" At that moment, Yin Yihan was using her submachine gun to suppress the wall's firepower, trying to get closer to the military factory. Bond, comfortably hiding to Chuci's left, shouted in his ear.

"Did you notice Yin Yihan's legs? Don't you find it strange?" Chuci shouted back in Bond's ear.

"What? Is there a problem?" Bond raised his head to take a look, immediately being suppressed by Yin Yihan.

"Yes, if Yin Yihan's armor doesn't have internal space, it means she has modified herself, turning herself into a cyborg." Chuci sighed, suddenly understanding why Yin Yihan was so arrogant and violent. A woman who could be so ruthless to herself would be even more ruthless to others. She might have a tragic past.

These were no longer Chuci's concerns. His only task now was to either kill or drive away Yin Yihan, excluding her from the side plot.

As soon as Chuci mentioned it, Bond immediately understood. Yin Yihan's armor was so tight that it was impossible to have external weapons. If weapons were indeed inside the armor, they must be inside her body.

"Is she still a complete human?" Bond was very confused. In his experience, the most he had seen was a few prosthetic limbs. He had never seen someone whose entire body, except for their head, was turned into a machine.

"Probably not, but so what?" Chuci thought of the bizarre enhancements in the Main God Space, like werewolves, mermaids, liches, and the Queen of Blades. Suddenly, this didn't seem so unusual.

"I see, then our plan might actually work." Bond stopped worrying about whether Yin Yihan was human. Seeing that 90% of her body was mechanized, he beamed with joy. "Now, unless Yin Yihan has enough hearts, she's doomed."

The two of them had a firm grasp on the battle's progression. Yin Yihan didn't change her style. After firing the submachine gun on her left arm, she raised her right arm, and a mini tracking missile shot toward the watchtower. The contestant there easily dodged, and the missile, unable to turn 180 degrees, landed in an empty spot inside the factory, creating a large crater but causing no damage. Seizing the opportunity, Yin Yihan activated her nitrogen thrusters and charged toward the factory, while the small Gatling gun on her shoulder, controlled by the internal computer, provided suppressing fire.

"Throw the grenades!" Bond shouted, and several contestants irregularly appeared over the wall, throwing grenades provided by Chuci at Yin Yihan.

Although the shoulder-mounted Gatling gun was controlled by a microcomputer, the AI was clearly inferior to Chuci's Deep Red. It couldn't calculate the irregular movements of the contestants. As it suppressed the fire, the contestants would pop up and throw grenades, making Yin Yihan dizzy. She accidentally got hit by a grenade, which didn't cause much damage but sent her flying from the shockwave. Bond seized the opportunity, leaning out of the wall and firing his HK416 assault rifle rhythmically. The explosion from the grenade made Yin Yihan hesitant to use her nitrogen thrusters, and Bond followed her smooth parabolic trajectory, hitting her upper body with five consecutive shots.

Yin Yihan kept blocking with her hands to prevent the bullets from hitting her head, but her hands were growing weak. She wasn't as thoroughly mechanized as Chuci had thought. She still harbored hope of being a complete woman, so her semi-mechanized body retained sensory perception, which was a weakness, but not a significant one.

Seeing Yin Yihan fall to the ground in a sorry state, Chuci resisted the urge to fire a rocket and let her regroup.

To reload the ammunition in other parts, she needed to find a safe place to remove the armor. Only the submachine gun on her left arm was convenient. Yin Yihan took out a custom magazine from her spatial item and easily reloaded, preparing for the second assault.

"Great!" Yin Yihan's persistence deeply moved the two scoundrels, Chuci and Bond. Without a word, Chuci threw three grenades, which, under the control of the combat template and Deep Red, accurately covered the areas in front, left, and right of Yin Yihan, leaving her no place to hide.

Bond also shouted, "We're running out of ammo, everyone run!"

All the contestants simultaneously threw their grenades, launching a fierce attack, picked up their backup weapons, and orderly fled over the back wall of the factory. Although Hao Jun was reluctant, he couldn't change the situation and had to leave according to the route Bond provided.

At this point, only Chuci, Bond, Angus, and Cheng Rui, who was hiding in a secret place, remained in the factory.

"Let's go, start the second step, the decoy!" Bond pulled Angus and followed Chuci, leaving from the left side and entering the forest.

Yin Yihan didn't overthink it and didn't consider whether Chuci was really out of ammo. The power gap was clear, and she was confident she could destroy any ambush or trap. She ignored the contestants who had fled over the back wall, her eyes fixed on Chuci, Bond, and Angus. A cold smile appeared on her lips. "Side plot? One of them must be a plot character."

Her eyes fell on Bond and Angus, and she sneered. How could they escape with a plot character?

Activating her nitrogen thrusters, Yin Yihan shot forward, quickly closing the distance.

Since Chuci was fleeing, he naturally wouldn't leave an opportunity for Yin Yihan to catch up instantly. He led the two through dense forests and thickets, moving slowly. Yin Yihan had to turn off her nitrogen thrusters and walk like a normal person.

"Damn, to choose such a place." Yin Yihan was extremely angry. The path Chuci chose was densely wooded, and if she activated her nitrogen thrusters, she would surely hit obstacles. She had no choice but to follow on foot.

Fortunately, she had closed the distance at the start. Now, the three were about 150 meters ahead. With another sprint, she could catch up to them.

Chuci walked while looking back, estimating the distance. He then began to turn right, making a large circle to intercept the path the contestants had taken.

To make the circle, he let Yin Yihan close the distance to about 100 meters. At this distance, a marksman would hit every shot, but the three were not easy targets. Chuci had a combat template, Bond was a seasoned agent, and Angus was the protagonist. Although Yin Yihan occasionally fired to stop them, it didn't significantly affect their speed.

It's time! Chuci caught Bond's signal, knowing they were in range. He shouted, "007, go that way and set the trap. I'll protect Angus!"

Chuci's voice wasn't loud, but he knew Yin Yihan had listening devices, so he wasn't afraid she wouldn't hear. Sure enough, after Bond rolled to the side, Yin Yihan immediately abandoned the chase and focused on Chuci and Angus.
