Utoni stretched out his hand, slowly reaching for the metal piece on the ground. After repeatedly making sure that there was no problem with it, he picked it up.
“So heavy...”
However, after he had picked up the metal armguard, his expression shifted. “Why is it so heavy? Is it made of gold?”
“That doesn’t concern you, Mr. Utoni.” The voice from the speaker spoke again, urging him, “Please put it on at once and follow my instructions. This is your only chance.”
“Put, put it on?” Utoni repeated himself. “But, there’s this sticky substance all over it.”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and sniffed. “It smells like asphalt... Ahh!!!”
Before Utoni could continue his waffling, he suddenly felt numb all over as if needles were swarming all over his body. The intense pain and itching made him convulse violently!
It was only after ten seconds that the death-like numbness gradually subsided.
Utoni slowly got up and backed away in shock and bewilderment. “What happened just now? What happened to me?”
“Mr. Utoni, my patience is limited,” the voice reminded. “You have thirty seconds to wear the armguard or you’ll suffer the same sensation once again.”
“Argh, d*mn you!” Utoni subconsciously touched the back of his neck, then yelled furiously, “What the hell did you do to me! You can’t do this!”
“You have twenty seconds.”
“Why can’t you let me go? Can I give up the money?” Utoni then started to plead.
“Ten seconds left.”
“No, I’ll wear it, I’ll wear it now!” Seeing that they did not budge, Utoni finally caved in. Still weeping, he picked up the armguard and put it on with trembling movements.
“Click!”
There was a sharp, mechanical locking sound. The dark, heavy armguard swiftly contracted around Utoni’s arm. Simultaneously, there was a low buzzing noise and a blue electric light started to extend over his arm!
“Argh, d*mn it! D*mn it! It burns! It burns!”
Instantly, Utoni unleashed a series of screeches like a butchered pig as if he was experiencing terrible anguish.
He got up mindlessly and shook the armor which kept on growing as if he was trying to fling off a soldering iron that was stuck to his body!
“Help me, help me get it off!”
Utoni kept howling miserably as the blue electric light quickly spread over his body. Each area that was passed over became covered in a fitting layer of armor, like magic!
Still, this process took only nine seconds. At the tenth second, the blue light had spread to Utoni’s head. At once, a crab-shaped helmet appeared out of thin air, encasing Utoni’s panicking face.
His pitiful cries were buried in the armor...
By now, Utoni, who was originally less than 1.7 meters tall and weighed only forty kilograms, had completely turned into a strapping, 1.9-meter-tall, steel warrior!
Just like in the movie, after the Predator Killer Armor covered his entire body, Utoni’s struggles ceased as well. He just stood there silently.
“Schwing!”
There was the crisp sound of an unsheathing blade. A half-meter-long blade claw popped out of the armor’s right hand.
At the same time, two square shoulder cannons swiftly rose behind the armor. Six laser pointers were aimed from both sides of his shoulders, scanning in all directions.
“Did it work?”
At this moment, in another room, Chen Chen could not help squinting.
As he watched the cold, black Predator Killer Armor on the screen, Chen Chen spoke into the phone again, “Utoni, are you still there?”
On the screen, Utoni, who wore the PK Armor, stood there wordlessly without any response.
After some thought, Chen Chen asked again, “Utoni, nod if you can hear me.”
This time, Utoni, who wore the PK Armor, finally nodded.
“Very good. Move your hand. Let me see if you can control it.”
After that, Chen Chen saw the armor on the screen raising both hands a little unfamiliarly and looking carefully at them.
“Very good. Now, try taking a few steps.” Chen Chen gave the next command.
Utoni lowered his hands and tried to take a step forward with his right foot, but he toppled over because he was still not used to it.
However, just as he was about to fall, the PK Armor readjusted its center of gravity, compelling Utoni to regain his footing.
Following that, Utoni tried to take a few more steps. This time, it went much smoother.
Having seen this, Chen Chen could determine that there was no problem with the PK Armor. Finally, he asked, “Does it still burn?”
Utoni shook his head.
“In that case, is there any discomfort?”
Utoni shook his head again.
“Very well. Now, imagine yourself getting out of the suit.” Chen Chen issued a final order.
He gave this instruction because he remembered that, when the PK Armor encased the researcher in the movie, the researcher appeared to be terrified. This terror caused the PK Armor to automatically retract after ten seconds.
In other words, there was a sixty percent chance that this armor was controlled by thought.
However, among the audiences who had watched the movie, some thought the armor retracted after being activated for only ten seconds because the user was not a Predator. This was too far-fetched.
If the PK Armor could only be controlled by Predators, it would not be activated, equipped, then retracted. Instead, it would be impossible to activate the armguard in the first place.
Therefore, the argument that humans could not be equipped with the PK Armor did not make sense.
Furthermore, in the ending, the last line of the lead was: “That’s my new suit.”
Since he had said that, the director was telling the audience through that character: “Want to see humans wearing this suit and slaughtering Predators? If so, support me in making the sequel!”
Although this movie received harsh criticism because it subverted the image of the Predators, it was canon, after all. Unless there was a reboot, there was no doubt that humans could be equipped with this PK Armor. The only question was whether there would be unforeseen dangers after one wore it.
However, after this experiment, Chen Chen felt assured.
Nevertheless, at this point, Utoni still did not take off the armor.
“Utoni, can you hear me?” Chen Chen stopped his musings and said again, “I order you to exit the armor.”
Even so, Utoni did not follow suit. Not only that, the two square shoulder cannons on his back started to aim at the ceiling.
Chen Chen frowned. Logically, if Utoni did not obey Chen Chen’s command now, Little X would immediately punish Utoni. However, the God chip made no moves at all.
In other words, the PK Armor had the ability to block electromagnetic signals and even resist electromagnetic bombs.
Even so, this would not be enough by far...
Chen Chen’s lips stretched into a cold sneer.
“Boom!”
Just then, the PK Armor on the screen suddenly exploded in a burst of blue light. After that, the screen displayed nothing but static.
At the same time, there was a deafening explosion from the back door of the clinic. Chen Chen could feel the intense quaking even in this room.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Cheng Cao’s voice spoke from the other side of the door. “Boss, he’s broken out of his cell!”
“It’s fine. He’s already dead.”
Chen Chen opened the door and directly walked to the back of the clinic. As expected, a large hole with a diameter of two meters had appeared on the ground near the back door, revealing a dark, hollow cellar below.
The cellar was filled with smoke and dust, and they could vaguely make out a figure, standing there in silence.
It was as still as a stone...
