Chapter 1197 - Thank You For Using Eden Technology (1/2)

The steel tracks broke one after another, and the suspending cables continued to collapse. The steel fragments mixed with concrete debris hailed down from the air.

Instead of immediately turning on the vortex engine, Jiang Chen kept gliding down, using the debris as cover to move toward the edge of the city.

While gliding, his eyes were locked on the ground, searching for any potential incoming missiles.

Fortunately, no missiles headed his way.

When the altitude dropped to 500 meters, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, and the vortex engines ignited with a full thrust to halt the fall.

“BOOM!”

Both feet planted deep into the ground, and the impact wave hitting the ground blew dust and gravel a dozen meters away, formed cracks along the surface of the road.

When he looked down at Yao Yao, he was relieved.

The lovely face was obviously startled, but fortunately, she was not hit by flying debris.

Jiang Chen opened the mask on the helmet and looked at Yao Yao, “Are you okay?”

Yao Yao’s soul seemed to have returned to her body. Lying in Jiang Chen’s arms, she looked into his concerned eyes and nodded firmly.

“I’m good.”

“Phew,” looking at the girl’s courageous expression, he smiled softly. Then he looked at the other side of the street. He took a deep breath before his seriousness returned. “It’s not safe here, we have to get out of here as soon as possible. You have to hang on for just a while longer.”

Although he was not attacked when he fell, he was not sure whether or not Ding Liwei’s people saw him. If they were on their way to his landing spot, every second they stayed where they were would increase the dangerousness of the situation.

“No problem.” Yao Yao tightly grabbed onto the nylon buckle on the power armor, then she pressed her face on Jiang Chen’s chest and closed her eyes. Her gentle voice had a hint of tenacity, “Yao Yao is prepared!”

“Hold on tight.”

The sliding wheels popped out and the vortex engines reignited its blue flames, pushing the power armor toward the other side of the street.

While maintaining high-speed movement, Jiang Chen opened the communication channel and established contact with Lu Fan.

“…Where are you?”

“We have three people here, in… in a building? DAMMIT! Someone is nearby…”

There were chaotic gunshots on the other side, occasionally accompanied by one or two explosions and the sound of broken glass.

Obviously, Lu Fan encountered Ding Liwei’s force, and there was no doubt it was the Second Militia’s power armor company!

According to the information provided by Song Chenyu, the power armor company was made up of a full hundred people…

“Their people… there are too many power armors!”

“Don’t directly engage with them! Can you retreat?” Jiang Chen said immediately.

“We should be able to retreat. The P-series has one less set of vortex engines! Where should we reconvene?”

Where should we reconvene?

Jiang Chen just wanted to report a position but realized that he did not have a map here.

“…just pick a direction first. I will provide a gathering place immediately!”

“Just pick a direction?! O…kay!”

As soon as the communication ended, Jiang Chen was about to release the reconnaissance drone, but a series of red dots flashed on the radar. These red dots were separated into three groups, from three directions, they surrounded him, blocking all directions of escape.

The enemy had already discovered him.

“Fu*k!” He cursed in a whisper.

Immediately, he stopped the gliding momentum of the wheels and turned a corner at a forty-five degrees angle. He rushed straight up the stairs in front of an office building and smashed through a locked front door. He then retrieved the wheels before running upstairs.

Stopped at the top floor, Jiang Chen picked an office and broke through the door.

“Wait for me here, I’ll be back soon.”
