Chapter 161 – Armor’s Combat Mode
“I’m going to start moving.”
After Chen Yu said so, the metal T-rex slowly raised its right foot, its actions accompanied by the creaking sound of metal rubbing against each other.
Three seconds later, the T-rex’s right foot moved forward by a dozen meters and stepped on the ground.
Boom!
The ground shook before the eyes of the livestream’s two million viewers.
[You’re so heavy~~]
[Pft…]
[A true demolition weapon.]
[What is the limit of infrastructure madness? Demolition!]
[Let’s be reasonable. Once you’ve filled a place with buildings, you gotta tear them apart so that you can start building again, right?]
[Japan’s growing restless, lololol.]
[With the dinosaur’s mass, if it repeatedly jumps, it might cause a shift in the continental plates.]
“This feels so strange,” Chen Yu commented. “I can feel textured feedback coming from the liquid around me. I think I understand what this liquid’s main purpose is now.”
The next moment, the metal T-rex opened its maw and swiftly bit down on the ground below it.
Boom!!
The earth shook and shattered. The T-rex’s sharp fangs deeply penetrated into the ground. It then slowly raised its head, lifting over a thousand tons of dirt in its mouth.
“Sure enough!” With great excitement, Chen Yu said, “When I bit down on the ground, I can clearly sense my left hand growing heavier. The liquid also continuously applied pressure on my left arm, making me feel as if I just grabbed a handful of dirt.”
“Roar!”
The metal T-rex’s eyes suddenly lit up with a silver glow. Simultaneously, its lower and upper jaws started exerting force on each other, crushing the dirt and gravel between them.
Crack! Crack!
“I’m doing my best to close my hand, but the liquid around my palm has seemingly turned solid. I can’t squeeze it no matter what. It seems there’s too much dirt in the T-rex’s mouth…
“Amazing!” Repeatedly, Chen Yu exclaimed, “This method of control is simply brilliant! It allows the machine’s operator to experience feedback close to reality! Why haven’t I heard of this control method before?
“I’ve never even seen it in novels and anime before.
“As expected of future technology.”
[The last episode’s protective suit is also made by the Haqiu Arms Company. Host, are you being sponsored?]
[I seriously suspect that UP is actually an arms dealer.]
[Interested in some clips? Add my WeChat ******.]
[What the? You’re pulling this shit even in Transdimensional Review’s livestream? How much courage do you have?]
“Roar~~~”
The T-rex roared and spat out the dirt in its mouth, the heavy soil pulverizing a few unlucky trees.
“The feedback the liquid gives me allows me to quickly familiarize myself with the T-rex’s controls. Now, I’ll try to jog.”
After saying so, the titanic T-rex started advancing at a faster pace, its head swaying left and right as it ran.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom…
As the T-rex ran, the nearby mountains shook, and winds surged. The shockwaves generated by the T-rex’s footsteps were so powerful that they twisted the surrounding trees.
Looking at the carnage from high above, the livestream’s viewers felt as if they were looking at Godzilla destroying the world in movies, and their teeth instinctively clattered.
This was the instinctive fear small humans felt toward large creatures.
…
At the same time, inside Japan’s special situation office…
An old man with a gray beard and bloodshot eyes shuddered as he muttered, “Terrible… This is too terrible…”
The old man was currently looking at a screen displaying the metal T-rex. Every time the T-rex took a step forward, the old man felt as if his heart was being stepped on. Feelings of fear and absurdity overwhelmed his body.
As a leader who had spent his entire life working in the field of science and technology, he simply could not understand how the world had become like this.
Just a few months ago, physicists were still seeking new theories, mathematicians were still busy verifying their calculations, the various industries were still making scientific and technological achievements step-by-step, the conflict between relativity and quantum theory was still expanding, and the unified theory still remained a luxury.
The fourth industrial revolution’s five core elements—new materials, life sciences, artificial intelligence, quantum, and new energy—were also in the midst of gradually developing.
Everything had clearly been normal.
So, how did Transdimensional Review, an existence that continuously revealed future products that shattered everyone’s world views, suddenly appear?
“Is this a dream…”
The old man shut his eyes, his thoughts gradually falling into chaos.
“Leader!”
At this time, a middle-aged man approached the old man with an ugly look on his face. He then reported, “The T-rex is advancing into Kyojima District. The evacuation of the crowd has just begun.”
Hearing this, the old man snapped out of his daze and asked in a trembling voice, “H-Has the higher-ups still not allowed us to move?”
Lowering his head, the middle-aged man said, “I’m sorry.”
“We can’t stop it even if we want to…” The old man gripped his chest as his breathing gradually accelerated. “Speed up the evacuation. Set up some white flags and warning lights in the surroundings.”
“Yes, sir!”
The middle-aged man then left the office.
Inside the office, the old man scanned his frightened subordinates and opened his mouth. However, eventually, he closed his mouth without saying anything.
…
Boom!
Boom, boom…
The metal T-rex’s gait might seem clumsy and slow, but it was extremely fast in reality. Its speed reached well over 400 kilometers per hour. So, before Chen Yu could get his fill of running inside the petri dish, he could already see the gathering ground of humans ahead of him–Kyojima District.
There was also a white flag hung on the tallest building inside the district. The flag looked very conspicuous as it waved along with the wind.
Boom, boom!
Halting his running, Chen Yu looked at the town ahead of him through the curved glass, a strange sense of dominance filling his heart.
“There isn’t even a need to enter combat mode.” Facing his livestream’s two million viewers, Chen Yu faintly said, “So long as I wave my right hand, this town will be reduced to ruins. Yes, so long as I wave my hand…
“Moreover, there is nothing in this world capable of stopping me or even punishing me afterward.
“Because so long as I am inside this armor, I am Earth’s strongest combat power. Everyone, do you feel the joyous and suffocating feeling in your chest I am feeling as well?”
The metal T-rex slowly shook its head as it stared at the town ahead, its sharp fangs reflecting the light of the sun.
Suddenly, the bullet comments in the livestream rooms thinned out considerably.
“This is the power of technology!” Chen Yu raised his voice. “The sense of power I felt when I entered this armor is far more realistic than when I operated the Weather Control Module and protective suit.
“This is the horror of technology. If it can magnify the goodness of the human heart, it can naturally magnify the evil within as well.”
“Roar!”
The T-rex stretched out its neck and roared.
Many of the residents in Kyojima District had long since been petrified from fear. They could only stand still with pale expressions as they looked at the towering dinosaur.
The other party could easily decide their life and death with a single thought…
Creak, creak…
The T-rex gradually lifted one of its feet.
“Ah!”
“No!”
“Help…”
The crowd of puny humans started screaming in fear and panic.
Boom!
However, the metal T-rex did not move forward.
Instead, it changed direction.
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom…
Amidst the shaking of the earth, the metal T-rex left, its swaying head and tail smashing the huge rocks and trees in its path.
[Crap, you scared the hell out of me.]
[For a moment, I thought the host turned evil.]
[Power indeed befuddles people.]
[I’m growing worried about the future of mankind.]
[If I also get to wear this armor, I might fail to resist the urge to step on those people.]
[I stepped on ants when I was young.]
[You’re really cruel, then. Though, I’m still stepping on ants even at 45…]
“Everyone, you wouldn’t think that I would actually stomp on those people, right?” Chen Yu said in his usual carefree tone. “Stop joking. Did you watch too many movies? This is the real world! I’m just here to evaluate products. Those with twisted thoughts should reflect.
“I am merely expressing the sense of power I get from piloting this armor. In short, it is really cool! If there’s a chance in the future, I might choose a few viewers to share this experience.
“Well, let’s continue with our review. Let me find a place that’s far away from crowds to test the combat mode of this beast armor.”
…
“Huu…”
Inside Japan’s special situation office, the old man breathed out a sigh of relief. He then picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off his face.
However, as soon as he set down the towel, he seemingly realized something and became stunned.
“Wait! He’s running in the direction of Tokyo City!
“Quickly stop him!!!”
