Lin Yuan's first task was to recreate the scene around the campfire as much as possible, ensuring that there were no flaws visible from a distance, especially concerning the two packages, which were of utmost importance.
Next, he focused on enhancing his Biological Alloy with the energy he had available, pouring all of it into strengthening his Mechanical Body.
After the recent robbery, the amount of Biological Alloy he had accumulated in his hands had reached a staggering 0 grams. This was an immense fortune; even selling it to Mechanical City could fetch him nearly 600,000 Mechanical Coins.
Of course, Lin Yuan wasn't thinking about such matters now. Faced with a life-and-death crisis, he began his reckless enhancements.
Enhancing this Biological Alloy required a significant amount of energy. Fortunately, his backpack contained a full hundred F-Class Energy Blocks, alleviating his concerns. Otherwise, each gram of Biological Alloy would require 0 units of Standard Energy for melting and enhancement, which would leave him completely broke.
However, after enhancing both Mechanical Legs to Enhancement Level 1 in one go, Lin Yuan was astonished to discover that he could no longer enhance them further. The quality of the Biological Alloy was clearly insufficient; he needed higher-grade Biological Alloy to proceed.
Fortunately, he was quite satisfied with achieving Enhancement Level 1.
In total, his overall Enhancement Level—including the two Alloy Spikes—was raised to 1 point, consuming a terrifying total of 10 points of Biological Alloy and requiring 400 units of energy. In an instant, half of his once-bulging backpack was gone.
But this was not the end. Lin Yuan still had a Firestone High-Explosive Pistol and two daggers at his disposal, which would be crucial for killing that Mutant.
However, he could only barely grip the Firestone High-Explosive Pistol with the Mechanical Arms of his First Mechanical Arm; holding the two daggers was quite difficult.
Without much hesitation, Lin Yuan decisively used the two Modification Points he had treasured for so long.
This was truly an extraordinary artifact! As long as he could conceive it and had enough energy within the limits allowed by Modification Points, everything could be modified.
Initially, Lin Yuan had planned to use these two Modification Points for something more important, but it seemed he had no choice now.
The modification was straightforward and even somewhat rudimentary. He installed the two daggers at the ends of his Second Mechanical Arm and Fourth Mechanical Arm, requiring only that they remain in a piercing state. Fortunately, this simple modification cost only one Modification Point.
With the remaining Modification Point, Lin Yuan enhanced the palm of his First Mechanical Arm. This was unavoidable; if such a powerful weapon as the Firestone High-Explosive Pistol couldn't unleash its power at a critical moment, it would be tragic.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan had previously modified his First Mechanical Arm to have a rough palm with three fingers, so this single Modification Point was sufficient for the task.
Once all preparations were complete, Lin Yuan began to gradually reduce the output power of his Energy Engine and turned off the Second Audio-Visual Radar. He slowly powered down all parts of his body while retaining only 0% functionality of the Main Audio-Visual Radar and ensuring that the Energy Engine's output power remained below 94%.
This was the lowest limit he could achieve. With just 0% functionality released from the Main Audio-Visual Radar, it could only detect within a fifty-meter radius. Additionally, he aimed to keep the generation of Three-Dimensional Projection images at one per second.
As long as he could win this gamble, he wouldn't worry about whether the Mutant's search instruments could detect him.
As time passed by, at exactly one hour and thirty-five minutes, a massive Beast Motorcycle appeared on the distant ridge, roaring without any sign of slowing down. It soared through the air, leaping several dozen meters with a thunderous sound, racing towards its destination!
And there was only one!
So far, everything had unfolded just as Lin Yuan had wagered. Perhaps there was a bit of luck involved, as it was clear that this Mutant was not pleased. While others could return to the camp, he alone had to come for the package, relying on this Beast Motorcycle to vent his frustration.
However, this reckless driving resulted in a tremendous force of friction and collision, stirring up countless clouds of yellow dust on the hard ground. The deafening noise was captured by Lin Yuan's Auditory Radar, and at that moment, he felt less anxious.
In just a few seconds, the motorcycle, resembling a fierce dragon, roared up to the campfire site. The tents, packages, and the half-cut Mutated Mechanical Beasts remained intact in their original positions, so the Mutant did not pay much attention from afar.
When it came to a screeching halt with a loud noise, the immense braking force kicked up a cloud of dust that obscured the Mutant's view once again.
At that moment, Lin Yuan had already increased the output power of his Energy Engine to 100% in an instant. His Mechanical Body parts awakened simultaneously. Following that, he fired his Laser Sniper Rifle, targeting the elongated protrusion on the side of the Mutant's armored helmet. Based on Lin Yuan's observations from last night, this spot was likely used for communication with other Mutants—a target that needed to be destroyed immediately.
Although this Mutant's Exoskeleton Armor had an Enhancement Level of 5 points, this communication device was evidently more vulnerable. Moreover, Lin Yuan's Laser Sniper Rifle could deliver double critical damage at this moment; even a slight injury could destroy this device!
But this was not Lin Yuan's only attack. At the moment he fired his Laser Sniper Rifle, his three Laser Pistols also locked onto the back of the Mutant's armor where a powerful Heavy Sniper Rifle was mounted. This weapon adhered to the armor using a vacuum-like suction method and would not easily fall off or sway. However, it could be removed quite easily by accessing the internal controls or using the armor's Intelligent Brain System to detach it telepathically—very efficient!
Lin Yuan aimed his three Laser Pistols at the three suction points of the Heavy Sniper Rifle. This attachment mechanism resembled some kind of soft material with a low Enhancement Level and was not an easy target during combat. Thus, he was confident he could destroy these attachment devices. As long as he prevented the Mutant from removing that highly destructive Heavy Sniper Rifle in a short time frame, Lin Yuan would have a chance to win!
Though it involved four distinct actions, Lin Yuan executed them all in an instant without any delay. At that moment, the Mutant was just preparing to jump off the Beast Motorcycle; his body was angled at approximately 45 degrees toward Lin Yuan—an excellent opportunity!
With barely a sound, the entire process concluded swiftly. First, the communication device on the Mutant's helmet was struck and created a large dent. Although its 5-point Enhancement Level prevented complete penetration, it was clear that this communication device would no longer function.
Then came the rapid fire from his three Laser Pistols. The firing rate of these pistols had been modified by Lin Yuan to achieve an attack speed of 0.5 seconds each. They obliterated the attachment devices in no time; however, Lin Yuan's prediction faltered when instead of getting stuck on the Heavy Sniper Rifle as intended, it fell off completely.
This outcome actually aligned better with battlefield conditions; after all, having it drop meant it could be picked up rather than being stuck and unusable!
Cursing under his breath for a moment, Lin Yuan reacted even faster. The instant the Heavy Sniper Rifle fell to the ground, he locked onto its trigger and fired an attack that misaligned it. This way, activating this Killing Weapon would not be so easy anymore.
All these events transpired within fifteen seconds.
The Mutant proved to be an elite warrior; while roaring in anger without looking back to see where the attack originated from, he reached for the Heavy Sniper Rifle and performed a somersault before bouncing up into cover across from the Beast Motorcycle. Without even glancing back, he raised his Sniper Rifle toward Lin Yuan’s position and quickly pulled the trigger!
This impressive reflex showcased abilities that rivaled Lin Yuan’s own—if not surpassing them slightly—indicating that this Mutant Human had achieved nerve reaction speeds between 0.2 seconds and 0.5 seconds. Furthermore, this individual undoubtedly possessed extensive combat experience; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to accurately lock onto Lin Yuan’s position without looking.
Had his Heavy Sniper Rifle’s trigger not been misaligned… Lin Yuan might have been blasted into pieces!
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world. From the moment Lin Yuan executed that bizarre ambush, the outcome was already predetermined. In fact, anyone in Lin Yuan's position would never have imagined he would act so boldly, as it was simply unfathomable. That powerful Mutant was at a disadvantage because of this!
As he crouched behind the Beast Motorcycle, coiling his body and preparing to pull the trigger, Lin Yuan unexpectedly leaped up without hesitation, soaring over ten meters into the air to get a bird's-eye view of the Mutant below. Then, from less than twenty meters away, the Killing Weapon in his First Mechanical Arm—the Firestone High-Explosive Pistol—roared to life! Three shots rang out in quick succession.
The sound of those three shots was akin to a ton of dynamite; it was ferocious and overwhelming. Even though Lin Yuan, as a Mechanical Body, was unaffected by the deafening noise, the tremendous recoil nearly sent him spinning through the air!
Fortunately, Lin Yuan had meticulously planned this shot and had locked onto his target with the Main Audio-Visual Radar. The First Mechanical Arm was also highly sensitive, and given the distance of less than twenty meters combined with the Mutant's unusually large head being stationary, all three shots found their mark, striking directly against the Mutant's helmet.
Even though that helmet had an Enhancement Level of 5, the terrifying power of the Firestone High-Explosive Ammunition was vividly displayed. It blasted a hole the size of a bowl into the helmet, while the Mutant's head turned into a gruesome mess, blood spraying everywhere—it was dead beyond any doubt.
As Lin Yuan landed on the ground, he remained in shock. He never expected that the damage from this Firestone High-Explosive Weapon would be so horrifying!
Wait, something was off. This Firestone High-Explosive Pistol seemed unusual, or perhaps there was something wrong with the Firestone High-Explosive Ammunition inside it; otherwise, that helmet with its 5-point Enhancement Level shouldn't have been so easily penetrated.
However, at that moment, Lin Yuan didn't bother to investigate further. He moved forward and forcefully dragged the nearly four hundred-kilogram Mutant aside before quickly stripping off its Exoskeleton Armor—leaving no piece behind, including the helmet with its gaping hole.
Once he finished searching, Lin Yuan swiftly dismantled both tents as well and rolled them up to secure them on the back seat of the massive Beast Motorcycle. Then he hopped on. As for how to start this Beast Motorcycle, it went without saying; within thirty seconds, he was controlling this beastly machine like a dragon as it roared toward Sub-base S-5!
