Chapter 492: Caught the Murderer
"Wang Tao? Am I dead or dreaming..."
In a daze, Cheng Yiyi seemed to see Wang Tao appear in front of her.
At this time, Cheng Yiyi was wearing her power armor, which had no energy and was tied tightly by thick iron chains, making her unable to move.
Wang Tao's eyes glowed red, and two high-temperature rays burst out, quickly melting these thick iron chains.
Then Wang Tao found that the power armor could not be opened.
But this was not a problem for him. He continued to use high-temperature rays and easily cut the power armor, revealing Cheng Yiyi inside.
Cheng Yiyi now had more than 50 blood left and could die at any time.
Wang Tao held her in his arms and carefully examined her body. After confirming that there were no missing parts, he was relieved.
Although Lan Yulian's healing ability is strong, it can only add blood and heal injuries, and cannot create something out of nothing. If someone's arm is broken, the healing ability can be used to connect the arm. But if the arm is gone, the healing ability cannot make a person grow a new arm.
So as long as there are no missing parts, even if there are only more than 50 HP left, it's no big deal.
"What are you doing..."
Cheng Yiyi looked at Wang Tao touching her body randomly, and even lifted her clothes to check carefully. Her pale face suddenly turned red. But this real touch... doesn't seem to be a dream?
"See if you have any internal injuries. It seems that there is no problem now. Don't be afraid, you won't die."
Wang Tao took out the medical kit and began to treat and bandage Cheng Yiyi.
"I... really got saved?"
Lying in Wang Tao's arms, Cheng Yiyi reacted a little bit late. She didn't seem to die, and she wasn't dreaming. The person in front of her was really Wang Tao, and she was saved!
The medical kit quickly increased Cheng Yiyi's HP by 1,000. Although it was still far from the upper limit of 100,000 HP, it was enough for Cheng Yiyi to survive the critical period.
"What happened specifically? Why are you here and tied up?"
Seeing that Cheng Yiyi's spirits had improved a lot, Wang Tao asked.
Speaking of this, Cheng Yiyi bit her lip, her face was very ugly.
"It's Lin Kaiyang! He attacked me!"
"Huh? It's him?"
Wang Tao was a little surprised. Lightning said before that someone was hostile to Wang Tao, but that person was not Lin Kaiyang, and Wang Tao did not find any problem with Lin Kaiyang. Although what he said could not be proved true or false, it did not seem false. But unexpectedly, even I was deceived...
"Well, it's him! I didn't expect that he was hiding so deeply... He took advantage of the battle between me and the fifth-level lord to attack me and Pei Hai. Pei Hai was killed by him, and he locked me here..."
Cheng Yiyi explained to Wang Tao with a sullen face.
It turned out that most of what Lin Kaiyang said to Wang Tao before were true. From Pei Hai leading them here, to encountering the fifth-level lord, to being unable to beat and escaping, Cheng Yiyi and Pei Hai were the last... These things are true. But the subsequent ending of Pei Hai and Cheng Yiyi was fabricated by him.
He said that Pei Hai and his power armor were torn to pieces by the mutant banyan tree, and Cheng Yiyi was caught and eaten by the mutant banyan tree from the power armor.
But the actual situation is that Cheng Yiyi and Pei Hai's power armor was tampered with, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Even if they wanted to give up the power armor, they couldn't, because they couldn't get out, and the power armor became a burden to them.
Fortunately, the banyan tree monster couldn't move, and Cheng Yiyi was strong enough, so she and Pei Hai supported each other and escaped.
As a result, Lin Kaiyang and the other two power armors were waiting not far away and attacked her and Pei Hai.
In order to protect Cheng Yiyi, Pei Hai was killed on the spot by Lin Kaiyang. Cheng Yiyi wanted to escape, but she didn't escape and was caught by Lin Kaiyang.
Cheng Yiyi thought she was dead, but Lin Kaiyang didn't kill her. Instead, he told her that the power armor had been controlled by Lin Kaiyang and he could kill Cheng Yiyi at any time.
Lin Kaiyang forced Cheng Yiyi to give him the position of the head of the Sixth Legion, and recognized Lin Kaiyang as the master and became his slave.
Cheng Yiyi would rather die than agree to such a thing, and Lin Kaiyang didn't dare to stay here any longer, because he couldn't beat the fifth-level lord.
So he threw Cheng Yiyi here. Without energy supply, the power armor that couldn't move or come out became Cheng Yiyi's cage.
And for the sake of safety, Lin Kaiyang also tied the power armor with an iron chain. He told Cheng Yiyi that after he took down the Sixth Legion, he would "entertain" Cheng Yiyi well and let Cheng Yiyi recognize him as the master in person.
After that, Cheng Yiyi fainted, and when she woke up again in a daze, she was rescued by Wang Tao.
"I must kill him with my own hands! Ahem——"
Cheng Yiyi became more and more angry, but her injuries had not healed yet. She was so angry that her legs softened and she fell into Wang Tao's arms.
"Okay, don't get yourself angry first, I'll take you to catch him."
Wang Tao patted Cheng Yiyi on the back, then held her in one hand and left the banyan tree cave.
"Uh... I should be able to walk..."
Cheng Yiyi was a little uncomfortable. With the size difference between the two, she felt like a child being held by Wang Tao.
Wang Tao ignored her. With her current physical condition, Wang Tao was the only one holding her back.
Not long after, Wang Tao came to the banyan tree cave where Lin Kaiyang and his men were hiding.
But to Wang Tao's surprise, Lin Kaiyang was gone.
"Where is Lin Kaiyang?"
Wang Tao's sudden voice startled the soldiers again.
"Deputy Commander Lin said he was going out to see if he could help Consultant Wang - ah? Commander?!"
When Wang Tao walked out of the darkness, everyone realized that Wang Tao was holding Cheng Yiyi in his arms.
However, two people wearing power armor in the crowd changed their expressions.
"It's them!"
Cheng Yiyi looked at the two power armors with flaming eyes.
Swish -
The cloak behind Wang Tao automatically grew larger without wind. Before the soldiers could figure out what was going on, their eyes went dark and they were covered by the split cloak.
Da Da Da -
At this time, the machine guns on the two power armors spewed out flames, targeting Wang Tao and other soldiers.
However, their bullets all hit the cloaks, and there was no damage. Wang Tao's eyes immediately shot out two red rays of light, and instantly knocked the two power armors away.
At the same time, Wang Tao appeared in front of the two power armors with Cheng Yiyi in one hand, and the spear in his other hand swept across the two power armors.
Bang!
The two power armors were flattened by a huge force and embedded in the wall of the banyan tree cave.
】
The gunshots stopped abruptly.
Swish——
Wang Tao took back his cloak, and the soldiers looked over blankly.
All this happened too quickly. From Wang Tao protecting them to Wang Tao smashing the two power armors into the wall, only one second passed, and they still didn't understand what happened.
Let alone them, even Cheng Yiyi, who was held by Wang Tao the whole time, was a little confused.
This is Wang Tao's strength! So scary!
However, Cheng Yiyi was a fourth-level awakener after all, she quickly came to her senses and immediately ordered:
"Lin Kaiyang and these two people have rebelled! Catch them!"
The soldiers were even more confused, not knowing why Deputy Corps Commander Lin rebelled, but they naturally executed Cheng Yiyi's orders unconditionally.
So these people immediately took the two power armors off the wall. Looking at the severely deformed power armors, the soldiers were secretly shocked. Consultant Wang is simply a humanoid armor!
The power armor was in such a state, and the people inside were naturally very miserable, with only half of their lives left.
After the soldiers got them out, they looked at Wang Tao with fear.
Wang Tao could actually kill them easily without destroying the power armor, that is, using mental attacks.
However, Cheng Yiyi said that it would be best to catch them alive, and Wang Tao was a little angry about Cheng Yiyi being attacked by surprise. His emotions might affect the intensity of the mental attack. If the attack was a little heavy, these two people would become idiots at best, or die of bleeding from all seven orifices. So Wang Tao still chose a simple and direct physical attack.
"Woof~"
Lightning next to him called softly, meaning to tell Wang Tao that the one who had a moment of hostility towards Wang Tao before was one of these two people.
Wang Tao nodded, and then said to Lightning:
"Can you smell Lin Kaiyang?"
"Woof!"
"Let's go and catch him."
Let the soldiers tie up the two people who had lost their combat effectiveness, and Wang Tao took Cheng Yiyi and Lightning out of the karst cave together.
...
On the other side
In a power armor that was groping forward in the dark, Lin Kaiyang was sweating profusely, and a growing sense of fear kept lingering in his heart.
"Damn it! Damn it! How did he find out!"
Lin Kaiyang couldn't figure it out.
Wang Tao was at level five, but he was only stronger than him in strength, and it was impossible for him to be so much smarter than him!
Although his actions this time were not perfect, they would not be exposed in such a short time. Which step went wrong...
Before, when Wang Tao said that a level five lord was coming, he led the level five lord away and asked others to wait, Lin Kaiyang didn't think he would be exposed.
It was just that he didn't hear any movement outside in the cave, so he felt something was wrong. So he told others to go out and see if he could help Wang Tao.
When he came out, he didn't find any traces of fighting. This made Lin Kaiyang feel cold in his heart.
Although it is also possible that Wang Tao didn't fight the monster, Lin Kaiyang didn't dare to gamble. After all, if he lost the bet, he would die.
So he ran away directly.
If it turns out that Wang Tao really went to attract monsters, then it won't be too late for him to come back. At most, he can just say that he got lost. In fact, he did get lost, otherwise he would have led the team away long ago.
But the more you fear something, the more it will come - he received a prompt that Cheng Yiyi came out of the power armor!
Cheng Yiyi's power armor was not completely out of power. He left a program that would report Cheng Yiyi's status and location to him to prevent him from finding her.
As a result, not long after Wang Tao left, he received a prompt that Cheng Yiyi had left the power armor!
This time there was no luck, Cheng Yiyi must have been found by Wang Tao.
Escape, only escape!
There was no way to stay in the Changhe base, so he could only escape to the wilderness!
He didn't want to wander in the wilderness, but facing a fifth-level awakener, he knew that any of his cleverness was useless. If he dared to stay in the base, let alone say that he was unreasonable, even if he was reasonable, the committee would not offend the only fifth-level awakener in their base because of him, and he would definitely die!
Lin Kaiyang suddenly regretted it.
It's not that I regret attacking Cheng Yiyi, nor is it that I regret not killing Cheng Yiyi.
He regretted that the plan was not done well enough and should not have left Cheng Yiyi in the power armor!
The power armor is a product of the research institute and cannot be modified by outsiders, even by the bound buyers. If there is any need for any modification, it must be sent to the research institute. This is to prevent this kind of killer from falling into the hands of criminals.
Lin Kaiyang naturally could not change the internal program of the power armor. He did not have this ability, but he was clever - adding some additional mechanical structures to the power armor of Cheng Yiyi and Pei Hai!
This cannot directly control the power armor, but it can affect the operation of the weapons and power system and lock the power armor.
This lock is really locked. Not only Cheng Yiyi and Pei Hai cannot open it, but he himself cannot open it in a short time. With his ability, he can only do this.
The result of this is that they spent a lot of effort to kill Pei Hai wearing power armor, and it is very difficult to kill Cheng Yiyi again. Because the defense of the power armor is really nothing to say, it can withstand the impact of several fifth-level monsters. With his strength, it is impossible to kill Cheng Yiyi in the power armor in a short time.
His coercion of Cheng Yiyi was actually to scare the other party. If he could really control Cheng Yiyi's power armor, he would definitely kill Cheng Yiyi directly, at most venting before Cheng Yiyi died, and he would not leave this fatal handle!
Because Cheng Yiyi has always been very tough, he can't see Cheng Yiyi's blood bar, so he doesn't know that Cheng Yiyi can't hold on for long.
He was afraid that Wang Tao, a fifth-level awakener, would come to the door, and he was also afraid of the fifth-level lord monsters here, so he didn't dare to stalemate with Cheng Yiyi. After tying Cheng Yiyi up, he joined the main force.
As a result, not long after joining the main force, he saw Wang Tao coming. He was very fortunate that he was decisive and came back directly, otherwise he might be in trouble.
But unexpectedly, it was still exposed...
So he regrets it now. If he changed another way to kill Cheng Yiyi, would it have been successful?
Unfortunately, there is no if in the world, and he couldn't wait any longer - after learning that Wang Tao had been promoted to the fifth level, he decided to take action immediately. Otherwise, given the relationship between Wang Tao and Cheng Yiyi, he would have no chance in the future. But he still failed...
Suddenly, Lin Kaiyang paused.
At some point, a tall and blurry figure appeared in front of him. Before he could react, he felt a pain in his chest, and then he fainted.
