Mercer didn't hesitate, struggling to stand up, while outside the car, Rebecca actually became the first to recover her movement.
The heavy armor is not just for show; when Mercer designed the mech, he definitely considered the defense against electromagnetic weapons and EMP weapons. After a brief short circuit, the internal components of the mech quickly regained functionality under the shielding layer inside the armor.
Although the system had begun to report errors, it still ensured that most functions were operational.
However, Arasaka's real killer move came soon after.
In the sky, a shadow appeared.
Rebecca looked up, and what she saw was a huge armored brute. Her pupils slightly contracted, and then she shouted a fearless curse: "Adam's Hammer! You stupid bastard!"
This curse immediately confirmed Adam's Hammer's target—he said nothing and simply plummeted from the sky, crashing towards the ground.
Rebecca didn't dodge or evade, raising both hands, with the machine gun on her right arm spitting sparks, while raising her left arm to use the small shield on it to absorb the impact.
"Get out of the way!" Mercer instinctively shouted.
For a moment, images of scenes he'd seen in an anime before crossing over flashed in his mind.
In the scenes, Rebecca shot towards the sky, only to be crushed into a pulp by the descending Hammer.
His heart nearly stopped for a moment—but as Adam's Hammer thunderously hit the ground, Rebecca was only forced to kneel on one knee, then shouted and punched Adam's Hammer, which somewhat eased Mercer's worry.
"Don't you dare touch me!" Rebecca roared, while the engines on her back roared, charging at Adam's Hammer at full speed.
The punched Adam's Hammer merely showed an interested expression: "Seems you've made some interesting stuff... but do you think such a thing can go head-to-head with me?"
Adam's Hammer eyed Rebecca charging forward with disdain, appreciating her straight-line speed but unaffected by such a rhino-type opponent, equipped with Sianwistan.
What Adam's Hammer did was simply create a blur in the air before coldly raising his left hand, aiming at Rebecca's head—his left-hand weapon was a modified super shotgun based on Arasaka's template for Kangtao's Zhuo-style shotgun.
The weapon loaded with weighty mini intelligent missiles; such a close-range explosion to the head couldn't be withstood even by himself, let alone Rebecca, a flesh-and-blood person only protected by a helmet.
Even if one blast doesn't kill her, it will absolutely leave her dizzy and unable to resist.
Seeing Rebecca maintaining her forward posture while he had already appeared by her side, calmly lifting the shotgun, just waiting for the intersecting moment to pull the trigger, a hint of dullness flashed in Adam's Hammer's eyes.
Looks like he picked the wrong opponent.
But then Rebecca suddenly extended her left arm, like an iron rod swiftly striking, hitting Adam's Hammer's knee in the intersecting moment—Rebecca wasn't tall enough to reach his head, so she simply leaned forward and attacked his knee.
Adam's Hammer was nearly unreactive, his whole body spinning 180 degrees in the air, Rebecca's left arm shield was somewhat dented from the recent impact, but its edge remained exceptionally sharp.
This chop almost severed half of his knee; if Adam hadn't reacted quickly and used the momentum to let her spin him around to dissipate the impact, this chop might have directly taken his leg!
Adam's Hammer's prosthetic eye flickered with a bloodthirsty light, becoming more excited rather than angry or serious: "Interesting."
"V is way faster than you! Big idiot!" Rebecca laughed wildly, suddenly ascending to deliver an aerial spin attack on the immobilized Adam's Hammer.
But Adam's Hammer effortlessly pushed off the ground with one hand, then gracefully executed a cartwheel, kneeling on one knee. With no need for aiming, he fired a shot.
His left arm's 'Eight-Star Gun' shotgun unleashed a shot that Rebecca couldn't avoid; although she timely raised her left arm to protect her head, using her right arm's machine gun for counterattack.
Adam's Hammer merely shielded his face with one hand, unfazed by the clattering sounds and chose not to pursue, instead heading towards the armored vehicle in the center.
He knew precisely his target; capture the person first, then enjoy a thrilling fight with them—even though those above requested leaving a few alive, he couldn't care less.
The thrill of battle was the sole meaning of his life.
Inside the car, Mercer barely saw Adam's Hammer's speed; he was trying hard to fit the usable Octopus Arm stored in the box onto his shoulder.
Just when he couldn't fit it despite his effort, a fair hand pressed on his back, helping him firmly insert the Octopus Arm into the socket, successfully connecting it.
Lucy forced a smile at him: "See what happens when you're too lazy; in a crucial moment, you can't even find the socket?"
"Can't you see the smoke rising from my back? I can't even feel my hands right now." Mercer replied with a smile, and with just a brief exchange, the car door was forcibly ripped open by a large hand.
