RNP Chapter 32 was comparable to Attack on Titan, and then, it really was just like Attack on Titan.
Chapter 32 was comparable to Attack on Titan, and then, it really was just like Attack on Titan.
The next day, in the early morning mist, two dark gray figures swept across the ruins.
The pale red exhaust from the propellers drew two intersecting trails across the hazy sky.
Upon landing, Shen Yi's arm blade instantly sliced open the heart of a Kabane, followed by a kick that shattered the chest cavity of another Kabane beside him: "See? You only need to attack the middle left of the chest cavity, roughly covering the second to sixth ribs on the left, to kill a Kabane instantly, without having to cut open the entire body."
"sharp!"
Although Changpu knew that Shen Yi was very strong in combat and had easily defeated Jiu Zhilai before, even after Jiu Zhilai received the T-virus enhancement vaccine, he was still no match for him. However, she did not expect that Shen Yi would kill the Kabane so easily in actual combat.
She was even a little embarrassed. If she hadn't shown off yesterday and had let Shen Yi do it himself, they probably would have been able to forge several sets of blood energy armor.
"After a while, I will teach you the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and then you will be as powerful as me."
The two chatted as they cleared out the Kabane horde, as if they were in an empty field. They quickly cleared out a large number of Kabane, then took out a bag and began to extract the hearts of the Kabane.
On the distant city wall, the guards on duty marveled at the sight.
Even though they had witnessed this scene yesterday, they still felt as if it were a different world. When did humans start hunting Kabane?
However, after a few days, they finally stopped finding it strange.
As more and more Kabane were hunted, the stockpiled metal membranes grew thicker and thicker, and the second, third, fourth... Blood Energy Armor Squad gradually took shape.
This team was naturally led by Kujirasu, who should have been the first to possess the Blood Energy Armor, while Ayame stepped back into the background. Leaders can lead the charge, but if they lead the charge every day, their subordinates will not do it, as it would only make them appear incompetent.
However, when the twentieth set of armor was completed, a new problem arose.
Xianjin Station is experiencing blood shortage!
The Blood Armor's energy core requires blood as a medium to drive the metal membrane to release heat energy. Although the consumption is not large, just like the Kabane's heart, although it is full of viral blood, it will not convert all the blood into energy and exhaust itself at once, otherwise it would have spontaneously combusted long ago.
However, since the Blood Energy Armor is not human, it cannot keep the blood fresh indefinitely. If the blood is not fresh, the energy output of the metal membrane will be greatly reduced, and the performance of the armor will be greatly diminished.
But how many people are there in the entire Quanxian Jinyi?
The permanent population is less than 20,000, and the number of healthy adults who can have their blood drawn is even more limited.
A set of Blood Energy Armor requires regular replacement of its internal blood circulation. Even if twenty sets of armor are operating simultaneously, and it's impossible to use them all up every day, using up the blood of one person a day would still be a huge number.
Although the Blood Armor's achievements greatly inspired the city's residents, who were eager to donate blood every day, neither from his own conscience nor from the perspective of a competent leader, Yomokawa Ken could choose to frantically extract the residents' blood to continue expanding the Blood Armor squad.
So Shen Yi thought about it and changed the internal energy transmission system that simulated the eight extraordinary meridians of the human body to a derivative coating extracted from the forging of metal film alloy.
This coating has excellent blood preservation capabilities, which can significantly delay the coagulation and deterioration of blood in the circuit, allowing the blood circulating in it to be used for a longer period of time.
Thus, Blood Armor 2.0 was born!
Although this armor did not enhance combat power in the slightest, it significantly reduced blood consumption. Shen Yi estimated that, given the current blood supply at Xianjin Post Station, it should be able to meet the needs of one hundred people.
A hundred sets may not seem like much, but they represent an extremely terrifying force. Keep in mind that this world is the 19th century, and a group of powerful individuals wearing exoskeletons are practically invincible.
Perhaps because the strength of Xianjin Station gradually increased, people saw hope for the revival of mankind, and Shifangchuan began to recruit soldiers and horses through Juncheng in exchange for more labor and healthy young men.
Shen Yi did not object to this; in fact, he agreed with it.
Without sufficient resources, his laboratory requires a large amount of energy, and blood energy is undoubtedly a cheap and readily available energy source.
Trading people for weapons may sound cold-blooded, but for the civilians being exchanged, Kenkin Station at least provided them with a full meal and a place to stay. In this Japan being devoured by the Kabane, it was already paradise.
For Xianjinyi, the injection of fresh blood is not only the energy source for the Blood Energy Armor, but also the foundation for revitalizing the city. With more labor, defense forces, and technical support, the chances of Xianjinyi's survival increase.
Fortunately, Kenjin Station was a center for the production and transportation of goods, making it very convenient to travel to other stations. This is why Amatori Mima chose Kenjin Station in the original story.
Thus, under the management of Shifangchuanjian, the development of Xianjin Station snowballed, growing bigger and bigger.
Meanwhile, Shen Yi is also working on the Blood Energy Armor 3.0. He plans to replace the blood in the Blood Energy Armor with Kabane blood, because the blood in the Kabane has already been modified by the virus, exhibiting a dark red fluorescent quality and an energy density far higher than that of human blood.
If the blood of the Kabane could be used directly as a power source, the energy problem of the Blood Armor would be solved. The reason we didn't do it before was because it was too troublesome. The blood of the Kabane would coagulate quickly after leaving the heart, and the difficulty and danger of drawing blood were extremely high.
But now that we have a stable hunting team and a well-equipped laboratory, we are fully capable of trying it.
However, just as Shen Yi was preparing to organize an operation specifically to capture live Kabane, a special guest arrived outside Xianjin Post Station.
She was a girl who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a short red kimono embroidered with cherry blossom patterns, with two small ponytails, and looked like a young and lovely noble lady.
In the original story, it was because of her attire, her coming down from a carriage reserved for nobles, and her status as a member of the "Hunter's Clan" that Yomokawa Ken was exempted from the inspection. However, this kindness was taken as a weakness by the other party—after all, no one would expect these people to be so foolish.
The so-called "Hunter's Clan" are heroes and liberators in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the authorities, they are a group of exiles and redeemers. Their leader is none other than Tennori Mima, whom Shen Yi and his friends in the chat group have been longing to kill.
I want to kill him, not because I'm jealous of his good looks (not to mention he's not as handsome as me), but because he's a lunatic.
Before the appearance of Amatori Mima, oh no, I mean Amatori Mima, the anime "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" had a pretty high rating. I felt that whether it was a masterpiece or a story, it was still a good work. Back then, some people even said that it could rival "Attack on Titan". And then, it really did become just like "Attack on Titan".
Because when Mima Tori appeared that day and performed that amazing feat, everyone cursed: What is this crap?
