chapter 57: military prosthetics
the towering steel heart, over three meters tall, came charging at an incredible speed. the sheer oppressive force was overwhelming. forget about being directly attacked—just getting bumped would mean instant obliteration.
with his heart pounding like a drum, sun jack darted into the gaps between rows of black databases. he hoped these massive servers might hinder the behemoth’s pursuit. but steel heart’s fully metallic body was like a tank, crashing through with deafening clang clang sounds, sending sparks flying everywhere. anything in its path was either shattered or thrown aside.
the danger didn’t stop with steel heart. a sharp zzzzzz sound filled the air as drones accompanying it emitted an ever-brightening glow from their tips.
with a whoosh, a blinding beam of light shot straight toward sun jack. forced to defend himself, sun jack raised his prosthetic limb. but the supposedly bulletproof metal limb melted through like lava, leaving a gaping hole!
"watch out! it’s a gaofeng model 6 laser cannon! its penetration is off the charts!" yelled the father, lifting his shotgun and firing furiously at the drone. however, bullets that used to tear through flesh now only left shallow dents on the drone’s body.
meanwhile, the other drones, which had been busy destroying evidence, retracted their data cables and directed their sensor lights toward the father.
in the next moment, bullets, lasers, and grenades filled the air, turning the relatively small room into a chaotic battlefield.
while running, sun jack frantically raised his prosthetic arm, launching missiles at the steel heart chasing him. the explosions left the behemoth’s metallic shell slightly blackened but caused no real damage.
“seriously? you’re still using fixed-rocket explosives in this day and age!?”
steel heart leapt, flipping its massive frame onto the ceiling. a hatch opened on its broad left shoulder, launching a gleaming silver shell that zipped toward sun jack at terrifying speed.
just as it was about to hit him, sun jack twisted his body at the last second, narrowly avoiding the projectile. before he could even celebrate, the shell curved mid-air, looping back toward his back. it could turn!
steel heart’s face twisted into a cruel smile. "idiot! taste the power of smart-guided weaponry!"
with a deafening boom, the shell exploded. as steel heart sneered, expecting sun jack to be obliterated, a figure emerged from the smoke. but it wasn’t sun jack—it was a fully cybernetic cyborg.
“tepai! are you alright?” sun jack stumbled out from behind tepai, his ears bleeding from the explosion, as he injected a needle into his neck.
“father! you’ve been in the army! do you recognize what brand his prosthetics are?” sun jack desperately searched for a weakness.
“i recognize some of it! sending you the data now!”
in moments, a flood of detailed specs and 3d models filled sun jack’s system interface. just reading through it all left him hopeless. steel heart’s prosthetics were top-of-the-line military-grade, developed for corporate warfare. they accounted for every possible attack: electromagnetic, thermal, kinetic, explosive, even hacking.
forget defeating it—they didn’t even have a weapon capable of breaching its defenses!
“what now?” tepai asked.
“run!” sun jack shouted.
without hesitation, tepai turned and shot song 6pus in the knee.
"father! old six, get moving! we’ll regroup outside!" as song 6pus collapsed, tepai and sun jack made a break for the door.
but as soon as they stepped out, bullets rained down. even through his bulletproof vest, sun jack felt the impact.
“goddammit! those 18th street thugs are blocking the exit! they’re trying to get us killed by steel heart!” sun jack fired a few shots to push them back, retreating inside.
“motherfer! sun jack! you’re a fing a**hole!” song 6pus roared, clutching his injured leg.
sun jack ignored him, knowing their current predicament spelled certain death if things didn’t change.
“what do we do?” he muttered as steel heart closed in, his anxiety reaching a peak. “do i really have to break my own limits to survive?”
but sun jack knew even if he surpassed his body’s limits, it wouldn’t penetrate steel heart’s defenses.
just as despair set in, a gunshot rang out. steel heart’s massive lion-like head jerked to the side as golden mane fragments exploded into the air.
