BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 - 74: Wings
In the afternoon.
As Jack Clark was controlling the Heavy Armored Beast to eat and drink enough, Justin Welan excitedly ran back in, shouting at the door, “Jack, look at me! Don’t I look cool?”
On the balcony, Jack Clark slowly opened his eyes.
“What’s cool…? You really did add wings.”
Justin Welan was wearing a clean black-red battle armor, and behind him were a pair of metal-made black folding wings that covered half of his body, making him look very imposing.
But…did it have to be so flashy? Jack was a bit confused, thinking the others were just making empty talk.
Justin Welan walked up proudly and even spun around in front of Jack: “Hehe… Does it look imposing now?”
Jack was speechless: “Imposing, yes, but these wings alone must weigh at least twenty or thirty kilograms, right? Along with the weight of the armor, don’t you feel it’s heavy when you run?”
Plus his heavy weapon, a hundred or nearly two hundred-kilogram shield, his total weight reached over two hundred kilograms – running away from enemies during a battle would be nearly impossible.
“It’s a bit heavy, but it adds safety,” Justin Welan said proudly.
“My weapon is an alloy heavy shield, and 1 take a frontal assault approach in battle. Even sniper armor-piercing bullets can’t penetrate my shield, but the back is vulnerable.”
“Now that I have these metal wings in the back, it’s like adding another layer of defense, and I even paid extra for the military factory to use thicker alloy.”
“In this case, even if I’m shot from behind with a sniper rifle, it won’t penetrate my armor. How about that, am I smart?”
Jack nodded in admiration: “…Indeed, you’re smart. What about Zac Lyons? Did he also add wings?”
“No, his Cultivation Methods are different from mine. If the load is too high, it affects agility. So, he only doubled the armor on the front and back and added some glittering gold plates.”
“It’s not just us. Many of our classmates have gone to the base factory to reinforce their armors, even at the cost of some speed.”
At this time, Justin Welan suggested, “Jack, I recommend you add some reinforcement to the front and back of your armor to protect against hidden snipers.”
I thought the death of that student wouldn’t affect us much, but it seems everyone has noticed the defense issue.
“I noticed this issue early on, but I don’t need it. Overly-heavy armor will affect my speed,” Jack continued.
“Don’t forget, what Sword Skill am I cultivating? As long as there are hostile gazes on me, I will sense them. Sniper rifles aren’t a big threat to me.”
Justin was stunned and then reacted: “I almost forgot, Jack, you’re cultivating the Mind’s Eye Bright Knife and have really reached the Heart’s Eye realm.”
Talking about this, he couldn’t help but show a look of envy on his face.
He had also heard of the Mind’s Eye Bright Knife, and was very interested in the Heart’s Eye realm, which could sense danger in advance.
Unfortunately, his brother had told him that he didn’t have that talent.
Ordinary people couldn’t cultivate that Sword Skill, and even if they tried, they could only learn the ordinary Light King Knife, unable to enter the Heart’s Eye realm.
“Jack, do you want to cultivate with me at the base cultivation ground?”
Jack shook his head: “No need, 1 like to cultivate quietly by myself.”
“…Alright,” Justin nodded.
In the conference room, General Laird Hawk sat in the main seat, flanked by his staff, adjutants, several Colonel-ranked military experts, and Lori Parma.
Laird Hawk said gravely: “Today, a genius and five soldiers died in a rebel ambush, and I’m deeply regretful.”
“However, it’s their sacrifice that has allowed us to capture a high-ranking fanatic.”
“Through my Secret Skill, I’ve interrogated and locked in on the main base of the fleeing Evil God Sect and the remaining main force of the rebels.”
“Right now, three special reconnaissance teams have already set out and are expected to arrive at the outskirts of the mountain range in two hours, closely monitoring with satellites.”
“I’m issuing the combat mission now. At nine o’clock tonight, the Third and Fifth Armored Brigades will be ready to depart, and they must arrive at the combat location within two hours.”
“After nightfall, the Fifteenth Long-range Rocket Artillery Regiment will set off to the designated combat location and cooperate with the supporting air bombing squadron for saturation bombing.”
“As for those Evil God Sect experts hiding in the mountain belly, 1 will request a bomber carrying fusion energy for energy cannon bombardment to destroy the mountain peak along with them.”
“Also, after 6 pm, there will be a citywide electronics silence…”
Before dinner, everyone received a command not to sleep tonight, as there would be action, and then their mobile phones lost signal.
Justin was excited: “Jack, do you remember the fanatic Mr. Perry caught? There must be a big operation tonight. This time I must kill more cultists!”
Jack squinted his eyes and reminded: “Be careful then. Safety first, killing the enemy second.”
At ten o’clock that night, the hotel lobby was brightly lit.
All twenty-five students gathered one after another. However, the atmosphere that was supposed to be solemn and murderous had turned a bit strange.
Zac Lyons, in his glittering golden armor, looked as dazzling as a comic book superhero. He walked around, showing off.
A classmate couldn’t help but envy: “Zac, where did you get those golden paints? They look like gold.”
“Hehe, I paid a big price for someone to tune this paint for me. They guaranteed it’s waterproof, wear-resistant, and won’t fade for a year,” Zac said proudly.
“Zac, aren’t you afraid you’ll be targeted by the enemy, glittering like that in the night?”
“Afraid? I could lose my life, but coolness is a lifelong affair.”
“Justin, your wings are not up to date. They’re too outdated. Look at me, I have three pairs of white Angel Wings, and they can be opened and closed.”
White Veil proudly showed off his silver battle armor in front of Justin, and behind his back were three sets of wings of different sizes, slowly opening and closing under the control of mechanical devices.
Compared to White Veil’s armor, Justin’s black wings were a bit ordinary and lacked extravagance, but it had better protection because of their thickness.
Besides them, the armor of most of the students had undergone more or less changes.
Some had thickened armor on the front and back, protecting themselves tightly. Some even installed spider-leg-like springs on their backs; it looked very strange.
It must be said that the base’s temporary military factory was impressive, as they could modify anything.
As a result, when Lori and the other teachers arrived and saw this scene, they were all stunned..
