Ling Cage: Enhanced Nanosteel Suit at the Start

Chen Yuan gave Sal instructions, then turned and left.

These scrap metals can be recycled and exchanged for survival points, and a single high-quality warship fragment can be worth millions.

There were about five or six piles of scrap metal in the waste dump, which Chen Yuan estimated he could recycle and exchange for more than 1000 million survival points.

……

After subduing the junk king Jock and recovering the technology and resources from his lair, Chen Yuan's forces set their sights on the next target: the notoriously cunning and ruthless poison woman Vera.

This time, he no longer needs to operate covertly; instead, he will crush his opponents head-on and demonstrate absolute power.

Chen Yuan was in command of the main warship, with Sal leading the Lunar-class warships to his left and Jock piloting the original transport warship, which had been repaired and equipped with new weapons, and the accompanying small frigates to his right.

The three forces converged, and although the warships were of mixed types, they were all menacing and headed straight for the area controlled by Vera.

However, Vera was clearly more cautious and cunning than Jock.

Chen Yuan's fleet repeatedly missed her two secondary bases used for disguise, until they reached her third base, the Venomous Fang Nest, located deep within a dense asteroid belt, where they finally found the Venomous Woman's hiding place.

The Venomous Fang Nest was built on a hollowed-out layer of soil, and its perimeter was covered with hidden sensor mines and automatic laser turrets.

Most notably, there are three Lunar-class combat ships flanking the nest.

These three warships have sleek lines, are over 150 meters long, and are covered in dark purple armor. The main guns at the bow emit a chilling energy fluctuation, and are definitely not just for show.

While the Lunar Landing-class ships, which form the main force in Chen Yuan's fleet, are more focused on transportation and assault with relatively balanced firepower and protection, the Lunar Patrol-class ships are truly designed for space warfare. Whether it is firepower, range, shields, or sensors, they are all a level ahead.

As Chen Yuan's mixed fleet appeared within the scanning range, a seductive female voice resounded across every warship via the public channel.

"Oh, who do we have here? It's you, Sal, you brainless bull, and you, Jock, you penniless scavenger."

Vera, the Poison Woman, spoke with undisguised sarcasm, "What, when did you two paupers become allies? Daring to cause trouble on my turf, are you tired of living, or do you think your lives are too long?"

Upon hearing this, Sal's anger flared instantly. "Vera, you vile woman, stop talking nonsense. I'll kill you if you don't!"

Vera was a trained assassin from the Old World, but she was arrested after failing to assassinate a powerful figure.

Later, he awakened his ability to have a thousand faces, successfully escaped from prison, and then infiltrated the group of lunar immigrants, which is how he arrived on the moon.

Her figure was alluring, and her face was charming and beautiful, but her beautiful eyes held only cold killing intent. She enjoyed toying with her prey in battle.

Vera's fang armor is a form-fitting, streamlined black armor with a chameleon camouflage pattern, making her move like a ghost.

The fingertips can eject poisoned miniature blades, and it is equipped with a camouflage system that can not only optically hide, but also simulate other people's voices and life signals.

In addition, the attack also includes neurotoxin injectors: capable of firing a variety of potent toxins from various locations, including those that cause paralysis, hallucination, and rhabdomyolysis.

Queen Bee Mental Disruptor: Can provide mental suggestions to specific targets or create a brief period of mental blankness.

Her ability is shadow mimicry, which allows her to merge into the shadow of any object for a short time and move at high speed. She can also create several realistic phantoms with some physical attack power. Her ability is slightly inferior to Chen Yuan's shadow control, which is one level lower.

At this moment, Jock's voice sounded somewhat helpless: "Vera, surrender. You can't contend with Lord Chen Yuan's power. The space pirates are too chaotic and it's time to clean them up."

"Chen Yuan? I had people investigate him these past two days, and I have no idea where this guy came from."

Vera chuckled lightly, "You think you can challenge me just because you've recruited two pieces of trash? How laughable."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you're not convinced, we'll beat you into submission."

Thrall roared, unable to contain himself any longer, and immediately ordered his assault ships: "All ships, open fire!"

The two sides disagreed on a single word, and a fierce battle broke out instantly.

The scene was explosive, with plasma cannons and missile pods firing at full power, crimson energy beams and dense missiles raining down on the target like a storm.

However, Vera's Luna-class warships have shields that are far stronger than those of the Luna-class; their pale purple energy shields steadily block most attacks.

"You are looking for death!"

The massive main plasma cannon at the bow of Vera's Venom Fang began charging, emitting a destructive glow.

"boom!"

A dark purple plasma beam, several meters in diameter, shot out at an astonishing speed, instantly traversing the void and striking the leading lunar-class ship.

The shields of that lunar-class warship shattered in less than two seconds. The outer armor was instantly melted through and vaporized, and along with the secondary explosion of the internal ammunition depot, it turned into a huge, brilliant but short-lived fireball in the air.

"asshole!"

Sarr was furious and could only order the remaining escort ships to disperse and evade, and then carry out harassing attacks.

On the other side, Jock commanded his ragtag fleet, maneuvering against another Luna-class warship and the surrounding defensive turrets.

He used his mechanical synchronization capabilities to constantly disrupt the enemy's artillery aiming systems, giving the fleet a chance to regroup.

However, Jock's fleet was poorly armed and could not pose a real threat to Vera's warship.

Chen Yuan calmly observed the battlefield from inside the main warship, while the high-speed computing of the Dragon Core continuously analyzed the Lunar Exploration class's shield frequency, weapon cooldown time, and weaknesses in its defense mechanisms.

After collecting the approximate data, Chen Yuan covered his entire body in a nano-core battle suit and joined the battle.

Chen Yuan switched between various weapons to attack, paying special attention to the Venom Fang. Under the fierce attack, the shields of the Venom Fang warship began to flicker violently and became unstable.

"Enemy fire has locked onto the ship's structural weaknesses, reducing shield defense by 76%..."

Inside the Venom Fang warship, the intelligent program immediately reported the situation.

At this moment, Vera sat in the luxurious captain's cabin of the Phantom, watching the Venom Fang, which was on the defensive, on the tactical screen, a shadow of gloom flashing across her charming face.

She never expected that the guy named Chen Yuan would possess such strength.

"Can't wait any longer."

Vera stood up, a venomous glint in her eyes. "It seems... I have to go and meet this man named Chen Yuan myself."

Chapter 233 Nanobug Swarm

The two warships exchanged fire for five or six minutes. Just as the shields of the Venomous Fang were about to collapse, the side hatch opened, and Vera finally couldn't hold back and made her move.

She rushed straight towards Chen Yuan's location at an extremely high speed.

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he ordered Sal and Jock: "Continue with the tactics, I'll take care of her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan's figure appeared in front of Vera.

The two unleashed their abilities upon meeting and attacked each other.

Chen Yuan's spatial abilities were strange, and Vera really couldn't do anything about him for the time being.

"With spatial abilities, no wonder he's so arrogant."

Vera snorted coldly, and the armor's invisibility system was activated instantly. She blended into the deep space of the universe, and even the heat signal and life essence fluctuations almost disappeared.

Chen Yuan hovered in place, the data stream inside his pupils flashing rapidly.

Loongson's wide-area scanning and quantum entanglement sensing are activated simultaneously, capturing the most subtle energy ripples and material disturbances in space.

"left."

Without turning his head, Chen Yuan instantly formed a nano-rhomboid shield with nanoparticles in his left hand and parried to the left.

"Ding!"

With a soft sound, Vera's figure emerged from the void, her ion beams blocked by the nanoshield.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but her movements did not falter. With her other hand, she thrust the poisoned blade at a tricky angle toward Chen Yuan's ribs.

Nanoparticles surged in Chen Yuan's right arm, and the Molecular Disintegration Sword struck first, slashing towards Vera's wrist with a dark red energy arc, forcing her to withdraw and retreat.

"The response was good."

Vera chuckled, her figure blurring as she instantly split into three identical phantoms, which simultaneously attacked Chen Yuan from different directions.

This is her ability, Shadow Imitation, which creates a phantom with some physical attack power.

Chen Yuan remained expressionless, activated spatial teleportation, and his true form instantly appeared dozens of meters away, avoiding the combined attack of all the illusions.

At the same time, he raised his hand and aimed it at the three phantoms.

Nanocore bursts, armor-piercing barrage, fire in salvo!

Countless miniature armor-piercing rounds covered the area where the phantoms were located like a metal storm. The two phantoms were instantly torn apart, leaving only Vera's real body to dodge rapidly. Her armor was still grazed by a few shrapnel bullets, leaving shallow marks.

"hateful!"

Vera was surprised by Chen Yuan's swift and decisive response. Her stealth and illusion abilities were greatly diminished in the face of his near-omnidirectional perception.

So she decided to use her trump card.

Neurotoxin injector, full-power diffusion.

The tiny nozzles on Vera's armor opened, releasing a colorless and odorless, yet highly toxic gas that could penetrate the energy shield and directly affect the nervous system of living beings, rapidly filling the surrounding space.

"Slowly savor the taste of death within my poisonous fog!"

Vera's figure appeared and disappeared in the poisonous fog, her voice carrying a cruel pleasure.

However, Chen Yuan simply floated quietly in the toxic fog. The nanosuit detected the toxin invasion and activated the automatic filtration system to keep all harmful substances out.

"Your poison has no effect on me."

Chen Yuan calmly stated the facts, "The game should end."

His eyes flashed with silver light, and a spatial barrier instantly formed. It wasn't for defense, but rather like an invisible cage, tightly imprisoning the space around Vera.

Vera was shocked and tried to escape by refracting photons, but soon she found herself as if she had crashed into an invisible wall, and the space was locked.

At the same time, Chen Yuan raised his right hand and released an electromagnetic gravity field.

"Ugh!"

A terrifying force was instantly applied to Vera, the armor emitted a piercing metallic creak, and she was pressed firmly against the rock surface, making it extremely difficult to even lift her head.

Chen Yuan slowly landed in front of her, the tip of the Molecular Disintegration Sword pointing at her faceplate.

"Your methods are nothing more than concealment and poison, which are meaningless in the face of absolute power," Chen Yuan said, looking down at Vera.

Just when Chen Yuan's fleet seemed to have victory in its grasp, an unexpected change occurred.

"Blood Butcher, are you done yet?"

Suppressed by the gravitational field, Vera suddenly screamed with all her might, her voice carrying a hint of madness from a successful plan.

The shout was like a signal.

"Buzz!"
