Chapter 297 No Escape

Having completed his cleanup, Shi Tian moved on, determined to stay ahead of his pursuers.

He knew that he couldn't afford any more slip-ups, especially with the knowledge that someone was still tracking him.

As Shi Tian continued forward, he encountered more than a few monsters, some being Armored Rats, and some other monsters that he had no clue about.

Some of the monsters were quite unique on their own, but nothing too difficult for Shi Tian to deal with.

When his normal bullets couldn't penetrate their armors, Shi Tian would in turn go to close-combat range, utilizing his other subclass [Cyber Samurai] which improved his mechanical right arm tremendously.

The power output of his mechanical right arm had increased tremendously, almost to the point that Shi Tian thought his mechanical right arm was a different version.

Having experienced a feeling of such great power, Shi Tian came to realize that level 30 was the actual start of his journey to becoming stronger. The previous levels were merely some prototype training arc.

With a punch, Shi Tian burst through the internal organs of the monster from the impact alone.

"This is too unbelievable." Shi Tian muttered in amazement. That punch wasn't even half of his strength, but that didn't matter anyway.

The [Cyber Samurai] subclass had amplified his punch by quite a lot, able to mimic the power that he would have ushered with 70 percent of his strength.

Finishing the battle rather quickly again, Shi Tian once again decided to loot the corpses, just like anyone would have done.

He was taking his time quite leisurely, mainly because he had sensed the elite soldiers didn't fall for the bait he had thrown.

They didn't venture into the cave like he had thought. Although it was somewhat of a shame that he couldn't borrow someone's hand to kill them, Shi Tian didn't find it disheartening.

In fact, he was actually looking forward to the elite soldiers to show up.

He was confident in his escaping ability with the increase of his mobility, so he wanted to use them as a dummy test.

What better test is there aside from elite soldiers who have trained their entire lives for battles?

'There's no escape anyway, so I might as well let them track my electronic device.' Shi Tian sneered inwardly.

He might have turned on his Cellos device to let the elite soldiers detect him, but he was naturally doing the same.

The elite soldiers had the means to track him, but so did he.

This time, he wasn't utilizing his subclasses, but his Class Talent [Digital Specter]. Having gained an affinity with virtual technology, Shi Tian could barely hack into the elite soldiers' devices and check on their location.

Call him broken or anything whatsoever!

But this was something that he had earned through blood and sweat.

Not to mention, if he met someone even more talented than him, then his abilities were nothing in front of them.

The idiom meaning that there is always a bigger mountain was a concrete fact.

Just because he had gained a tremendous upgrade, Shi Tian was not complacent in believing he was the strongest.

He knew he was still far behind from being able to be called a decent fighter.

After all, his class was a Mechanic, a class meant to utilize equipment to fight on his behalf.

But so far, he had no equipment that could truly be counted as his own.

Most of the equipment he had obtained was either through a corpse or someone else lending him the blueprint or items.

So technically speaking, he still can't be considered a true Mechanic until he managed to craft something completely from scratch and on his own as well.

Patiently waiting at the top of a tree branch, Shi Tian calmly gazed at the far east.

The elite soldiers were chasing at quite a rapid speed, and since he was forced to always confront the monsters up ahead, it was a given that they would arrive sooner or later.

In addition, Shi Tian does not wish to exhaust his stamina and cartridges to help clear the path for the elite soldiers.

Of course, Shi Tian could also choose to run from the monsters and avoid fighting them, but that was impossible. The monsters had locked onto him, so no matter what, they would continuously chase him.

If it was just a few groups of monsters, it was still doable, but what if more monsters grouped up?

By that time, Shi Tian would have managed to create a whole swarm of monster waves himself, all of them wanting to taste his flesh. And with such a scene, there naturally would be a ton of commotion. By that time, he would be basically announcing to everyone his position. historical

Having calculated all of those possibilities in mind, Shi Tian decided the best course of action was to eliminate these persistent elite soldiers.

Since they were unwilling to let him go despite his earlier bluff, Shi Tian shall let them know what pain was.

'I have given you guys a chance to stay alive, but you chose death. So don't blame me.' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly, his eyes narrowing upon spotting the presence of the elite soldiers.

He subsequently turned off his Cellos device, preventing them from accurately pinpointing his current hiding spot.

An ambush wouldn't work as much as their first encounter, but Shi Tian was still going to try to surprise attack them.

His theory was that it wasn't possible, but reality was usually different from theory. So he might as well give it a try before outright banning the idea.

As the elite soldiers suddenly turned cautious and tread forward very carefully, Shi Tian wasn't a bit surprised by their actions.

With him turning off his Cellos device, he was essentially telling them that he was ready for them.

'Be paranoid! Be afraid! I can be anywhere and everywhere.' Shi Tian smirked coldly.

This was the psychological warfare that he had prepared for them.
