Chapter 748 - 296 Half Step to Perfection_2
```
Night Demons usually sleep in their nests during the day and go out at night. Thus, these Night Demons were coming from all directions, and it was still unclear where their nest was. But it was definitely in this region.
As Wang Tao ran, he activated his Perception and Plant Affinity abilities.
Before long, they arrived at the coordinates, escorted by four powered armors and eight infantry fighting vehicles. Under the shine of the vehicle headlights, the fleeting shadows of a few Night Demons could be seen.
The infantry vehicles stopped, and a group of fully armed soldiers in mechanical exoskeletons immediately disembarked, each powered armor also wielding a six-barrel Gatling gun. They all aimed at the precise locations provided by the thermal imaging and then pulled the trigger.
Ratatat—
Pupupu—
In an instant, gunfire erupted, lighting up the sky.
The Night Demons, sensing an approaching threat, prepared to ambush. However, they didn’t expect to have already been spotted by the military and were met with preemptive strikes.
"Roar—"
The Night Demons howled as they pounced towards the group.
But under such heavy firepower, they obviously couldn’t make it through, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Night Demons had been riddled with holes.
"Damn, that’s exhilarating!"
Lu Gang spoke up, somewhat excited.
Although he possessed an Ability, he preferred this kind of attack that relied on a blanket of firepower.
No matter whether it was a Level 3 Night Demon or not, under a barrage of bullets, they would all be shredded!
Wang Tao nodded to himself, feeling quite thrilled. Especially the "pupupu" sound of the Gatling gun—it made him want to pull the trigger and experience the rush for himself...
Night Demons were relatively intelligent among the zombies. Once they realized they could not launch a frontal assault, they immediately dove into the ruins, avoiding a direct fight and instead consistently ambushing.
This indeed made things much more difficult for Duan Xuchang and his team. After all, infrared thermal imaging couldn’t penetrate the ruins, and by the time they noticed a Night Demon emerging, its attack was already upon them. @@novelbin@@
Whoosh—
A blood-red figure suddenly darted out from a bunker and lunged at a powered armor.
Bang!
The soldier inside the powered armor didn’t see the Night Demon coming, had no time to defend, and was knocked to the ground.
However, the powered armor’s defenses were robust, and the Night Demon managed merely to leave a few faint white marks on it.
Ratatat—
A short-barreled Rush gun suddenly popped out from the shoulder of the powered armor, and it fired upon the Night Demon that was pressing down on it.
Although this Rush gun was clearly not as powerful as the Gatling gun, the Night Demon did not suffer significant damage but was forced back.
Whirr~
The powered armor made a sound of machinery in motion, then quickly got back up. The rotating gun had fallen during the Night Demon’s pounce, but he pulled out a folding broadsword crackling with electricity.
Gripping the broadsword, blue flames flickered behind the powered armor as it accelerated sharply, rushing towards the Night Demon. Raising the broadsword, it chopped directly at the creature’s head.
While the D-100 model powered armor might not be very nimble when moving, their combat agility was certainly no issue. Wielding the broadsword, the soldiers could slash a 50,000-HP Night Demon to death in just a few strokes.
Whoosh—
At that moment, even more Night Demons appeared, all pouncing towards that powered armor. This time prepared, the powered armor wasn’t knocked down again, and the broadsword sparked with electrical arcs as he brandished it, quickly annihilating the surrounding Night Demons.
As Wang Tao’s group was in the midst of the military forces, they didn’t have many opportunities to act. So, they observed the combat effectiveness of these powered armors.
Wang Tao felt that the combat power of the D-100 powered armor clearly surpassed that of Level 3. Both in terms of attack and defense, it was stronger than Level 3. Only in speed was it slightly inferior—not that it wasn’t fast, but that it lacked agility when moving, though it was quick in a straight line.
However, these powered armors were not stronger than Level 4—if you only consider physical prowess, the powered armor obviously had Level 4 standards because they were wholly encased in metal, and Level 3 Night Demons couldn’t harm them at all.
But Level 4 had Awakening Abilities! With Awakening Abilities included, the powered armor clearly fell short. For instance, Wang Tao’s Starfire Prairie—he felt he could cook the people inside those powered armors...
So, the D-100 powered armor was equivalent to something above Level 3, yet somewhat lacking compared to Level 4.
Level 3 Perfection? Half-Step Level 4? Wang Tao mused with some amusement.
Of course, this was just Wang Tao’s personal feeling, and not necessarily accurate, as powered armors were equipped with many modern weapons. Not to mention anything else, just the six-barrel Gatling guns in their hands, with sufficient bullets, could inflict damage not inferior to that of a Level 4 with an Awakening Ability...
In this area, with fewer than twenty Red-skinned Night Demons facing formidable firepower, they were quickly cleared out.
"Everyone be careful, we haven’t found the Night Demon’s Nest yet,"
Duan Xuchang’s voice rang in Wang Tao and the others’ earpieces.
Wang Tao had also used his Plant Affinity and Perception to scout around. Apart from discovering a Level 3 Night Demon hiding in a pile of ruins, no other signs were found. Clearly, the Night Demon’s Nest was not in this region.
A high-power Ultraviolet flashlight appeared in Wang Tao’s hand, which he then shone towards a certain pile of ruins.
"Roar—"
A howl from a Night Demon immediately came from inside.
Then, a Red-skinned Night Demon quickly burrowed out, patches of its skin showing signs of burning.
Ratatat—
A stream of red fire instantly enveloped it, and within a few seconds, the 50,000-plus HP Level 3 Night Demon was torn to shreds.
