"It's too stuffy down there, and the air quality is bad."
Pei Qi felt the super hunter's increasingly weak struggles, so he increased the pressure on his hands, digging deep into its brain to ensure it couldn't move.
"Perfect timing, I'm very interested in your resilience. I've heard that the Blacklight virus can regenerate as long as it has just one cell left?"
"Then let's test it out. If we use you as a drill, how long will it take to grind you into nothing but minced meat?"
.
As soon as he finished speaking, system notifications inside Pei Qi's armor began to flood the screen.
[Gravity Adjustment Module]
[Direction Redirection: Directly Above the Vertical Y-Axis]
To prevent the super hunter's neck from being severed from its head due to the immense inertia at the moment of high-speed start, Pei Qi deliberately reduced the initial acceleration.
He grabbed the head of this super hunter, which was nearly four meters long and weighed several tons, with one hand, as if he were holding a huge umbrella made of flesh and blood, and roughly lifted its entire body directly above him!
"Get out of here!"
[Power Boost Module - Extreme Overload]
"boom!!!"
With a violent thrust powerful enough to propel a heavy launch vehicle into space, Pei Qizhua launched a vertical charge at a terrifying supersonic speed toward the nearly 100-meter-thick Manhattan rock layer, subway network, and skyscraper foundations above!
"Bang!! Crack—!"
The body of that super hunter served as the drill bit at the very front of the "human tunnel boring machine".
Its head was firmly fixed in place by Pei Qi, unable to bend or dodge.
When it crashed into the hard granite layer above at supersonic speed, even the monstrous body of the Blacklight Virus immediately let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain.
The hard rock shattered instantly under the supersonic impact, turning into a deadly storm of stone fragments.
The hunter's back armor was worn flat, flesh was torn apart, and bones made a teeth-grinding cracking sound from the intense friction.
Its piercing screams hadn't even had a chance to escape before they were completely drowned out by the massive sonic boom that broke the sound barrier.
Sixty meters — Forty meters — Two —
As they drilled upwards like a reverse meteor, the geological resistance they encountered grew increasingly stronger.
Countless tons of concrete fragments, broken steel bars, and even the wreckage of the underground train rained down on Pei Qi below.
But Pei Qi didn't even blink.
[Power Distribution Module - Global Activation]
[Armor Energy Absorption - Power Consumption and Damage Immunity Calculation in Progress]
This is the ultimate secret behind why the general mechanical module was later dubbed "invincible".
Under the control of the [Charging Distribution Module], all the storage capacitors in Pei Qi's helmet, chest armor, leg guards, and boots were perfectly connected into a huge energy pool with a total capacity of hundreds of millions of RF redstone flux.
Any physical impact that attempts to harm Pei Qi's body, the high temperature generated by friction, or even the compressive stress of the strata that is enough to crush a person into a meat patty.
The moment they came into contact with the MekaSuit energy shield, they were all inexplicably converted into pure power consumption!
As long as the battery isn't depleted, Pei Qi is physically immune.
"Ding! Armor damaged, 500 RF deducted!"
"Ding! High-pressure friction, deducting 1200RF!"
"That's all the friction? It's not even one-thousandth of the generator power of the fusion reactor behind me."
"Push harder, buddy! You're not doing a very good job as a tunnel boring machine!"
At this very moment, in a silent ruin on the edge of Manhattan's Red District.
This place was once a bustling commercial plaza, but now only ruins and shell casings remain.
In the shadow of a collapsed GG sign, a man in a leather jacket and a gray hood stood quietly.
His eyes were an inhuman dark red, and his entire body exuded a suffocating aura of danger.
Alex Mercer.
The perfect host for the Blacklight virus, the city's de facto god, and the epicenter of this biohazard disaster.
He had been hiding in the shadows, silently observing the farce unfolding a few blocks away.
He saw the Blackwatch Force hunting down ordinary hunters, saw the collapse of the underground pit, and also saw those mysterious tracking missiles that fell from the sky and precisely struck the mutants.
"Has the military developed any new weapons this time?"
Alex frowned slightly.
He could sense the entire Manhattan virus network.
Just now, a large number of high-level mutants that had been entrenched underground at Pennsylvania Station were completely wiped out by an extremely violent energy in a very short time.
Just as Alex was trying to extend his sensory tentacles underground to find out who was slaughtering his "kindreds".
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The ground beneath Alex's feet suddenly trembled violently!
It wasn't an earthquake, but some enormous thing was hurtling straight up from the depths of the earth at an incomprehensible and terrifying speed!
Alex's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly exerted force with his legs, leaping backward dozens of meters like a cannonball.
"Bang!!!!!"
Almost the instant he left his spot, a sonic boom cloud shot into the sky, and the entire asphalt road exploded outward like a volcano!
Hundreds and thousands of tons of concrete fragments, lampposts, and abandoned cars were hurled hundreds of meters into the air by an extremely violent force, as if an anti-gravity meteor shower was falling.
Amidst the swirling dust and nauseating remains of flesh and blood.
A dark gray metallic figure, gripping the head of a super hunter that had been physically worn down to a mere skeleton with not a trace of flesh left, violently burst through the ground and pierced the dark red sky of Manhattan!
He used the enemy's body as a drill to carve a straight shaft hundreds of meters deep into the Manhattan underground, penetrating all the strata!
In mid-air, Pei Qi turned off the power booster module and used the gravity adjustment unit to hover steadily a dozen meters above the ground.
He glanced at the hunter's skull in his hand, which had been rubbed until it was crystal clear, and whose viral telomeres had been completely killed by the high temperature and pressure. He shook his hand in disgust and threw it into the ruins below with a "thud".
"Tsk, the quality isn't good either. It's worn down after only digging a hundred meters. The materials science for the Blacklight virus needs improvement."
Pei Qi took a deep breath of the fresh Manhattan air, thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood, before slowly lowering his head and casting his gaze upon Alex, who stood amidst the ruins below, staring intently at him with an extremely wary and shocked expression.
"call-"
