Chapter 102: 102. "Battle Armor" design completed
At that moment, Lu Yao was trying to right a flipped truck to carry away the items he wanted.
After these people arrived, they just started shooting without a word. Lu Yao was both shocked and furious, fearing they would damage his belongings.
He grabbed an AA-12, crouched down, and used the "Eave Dragon Stake" technique to dash into the bushes.
The enemy lost their target and began searching while cursing in Hongsha language, randomly firing into the vegetation.
Meanwhile, Lu Yao, like a gecko, had already snuck up on them through the underbrush and suddenly opened fire! Enjoy more content from freewebnovel
The AA-12 used No. 12 buckshot, blasting out 9 steel pellets. A flesh and blood body hit by a shot would immediately have a hole the size of a teacup and be flung away from the ground.
And the most excessive thing was, this gun was fully automatic! It could fire 5 rounds a second.
After emptying a magazine of 12 rounds, 12 unfortunate souls flew out covered in blood, the surrounding vegetation turned sanguine, and the field was filled with wails.
These men were just militia-quality, not even finding where the enemy was as their comrades continuously exploded with large holes and fell dead. Before Lu Yao could even reload, they panicked and began to flee, screaming in terror.
"Close-range power is not bad, more flexible than a machine gun."
Lu Yao appraised the weapon in his hand and did not bother with the fleeing enemies, hurriedly searching for .50 caliber ammunition.
The Star Alliance Country waged wars everywhere and would sell off their equipment on-site after battles to facilitate budget approvals from their congress.
Thus, the Southern Border Countries had a lot of Star Alliance equipment, and the Browning machine gun was one such item, making .50 caliber ammunition not hard to find.
After a thorough search, he found a total of ten boxes, enough to last for a while.

Lu Yao lifted 300 kilograms of materials onto a Wuling Hongguang van and drove towards the border.
He also took out his mobile phone to inquire about two other matters.
First, he called Li Lei, and the girl picked up instantly: "Lu Yao, I was just about to look for you, the laboratory has started up~"
"That was quick! You all have worked hard."
"Yes, my old man is really dedicated... Have you gone abroad?"
"I’m busy in Hongsha Country. Please keep a close eye on the lab for me, and make sure the products come out soon."
"Ok, don’t worry, the balance and harmony of the formula you provided is normal, and extraction isn’t difficult. When will you come back?"
"A month or so, I’m not sure exactly."
"Ok, I’ll pick you up at the airport when the time comes."
The two chatted for a few more moments and then hung up the phone. Even without seeing her, Lu Yao could feel the girl’s enthusiasm.
~~~~~~~~
Next, Lu Yao called Zhao Ya to ask about the progress of his "Battle Armor" design.
Zhao Ya answered the call and immediately reported the progress to her client "father": "Lu Yao, the design for your Battle Armor is ready. I’ll send the data to you..."
"The exterior is Composite Armor—the outermost layer is boron carbide ceramic, the second layer is MIL46100 armor steel. Both of these materials are used for main battle tank armors; the third layer is Kevlar Bulletproof Fiber. The average armor thickness is 3 centimeters."
"The design is fully enclosed, with some arm blades, fist spikes, and other game-like designs. The total weight is 220 kilograms..."
Lu Yao stopped the car, carefully reviewing the data sent to him.
The design was good, combining elements from Fallout and the Warhammer series, controlled and dominating at first glance, it seemed like a killing machine.
Lu Yao expressed his satisfaction, "Zhao sister, I’m very pleased. Just one small request—plate the arm blades and fist spikes with silver."
"That’s easy. I calculated the cost; it would be 200,000 per set, can you accept that?"
"It’s acceptable, it’s just for fun. Could you arrange for the factory under your department to directly manufacture three of them?"
Lu Yao finished speaking and immediately transferred 900,000 to Zhao Ya, the extra amount being for the design fee.
Since both sides were familiar with each other, Zhao Ya did not stand on ceremony, "You really are a generous client, unlike most who need to revise things ten or eight times."
"Ha~ This is just a prototype; we’ll have to make more in the future. Sister Zhao~, please also help me keep an eye on the follow-up matters."
"Don’t worry~ I’ll make sure the factory gives you the best quality,"
"Pleasure doing business, and say hi to Brother Li and Yi Nuo for me."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yao found a secluded forest and returned to the Otherworld.
By now, he had become very skilled at opening the Dimensional Door, able to summon a green, swirling portal with a simple gesture of his hand.

In the boxing gym, Lu Yao placed the items in the storeroom and let out a long sigh of relief.
The other items didn’t matter much; they were just toys. The .50 caliber bullets were the most critical, with them there was nothing to fear.
In the Otherworld, not having enough ammunition meant you couldn’t even sleep peacefully.
At present, it was afternoon in the Otherworld.
Lu Yao, who hadn’t slept all night, didn’t feel a thing. After undergoing Organ Refining, his physical condition had dramatically improved, allowing him to stay awake for three days and nights. This was just one of the myriad little perks that came with reaching the Jin Realm.
Liao Qe, wearing an apron, was cooking. When she saw her dear one return, she immediately threw herself into his arms, joyfully saying, "You came back so fast this time, only one day."
"I just went to get some ammo, so it was quick."
"The massage you gave me yesterday was so comfortable, way better than my sister’s technique."
"I’m more practiced, so my strength and control of Inner Breath are better. If you like it, I can massage you every day~"
"Mm~" Liao Qe happily agreed, loving the warm feeling throughout her body whenever her beloved’s fingers brushed over the key points along her spine.
While holding the girl and chatting for a while, Liao Ya also heard noises and came over, curiously fiddling with the AA-12 she picked up from the ground.
Lu Yao took the two girls to the courtyard for a test fire, and amid the roaring sounds, wood chips flew as the wooden stake was filled with a dense array of small steel balls.
After firing, Liao Ya gave her opinion, "The power is mediocre. It’s very lethal against ordinary people, but if it’s against Martial Artists... the penetration of the steel balls is too low. Anyone in the Marrow-Cleansing Realm would be able to resist it."
She was right; Martial Artists feared large caliber, high-powered ammunition. As Shotguns lack rifling, their penetration is generally weak, making it difficult to inflict serious damage on armored targets.
However, Lu Yao had a special use for it. He took a "12-gauge shotgun shell," tore off the top, and poured out the steel balls inside.
"What do you say to replacing the steel balls with Silver Beads to kill Vampires? The two Vampires we’ve killed before had unpredictable movements, making close combat quite tough, but with this, we wouldn’t be afraid anymore."
The Shotgun is an efficient close-range weapon, which is what it was designed for.
The sisters were stunned upon hearing this, with Liao Qe hesitantly saying, "Isn’t that just like the ’homemade bombs’ you made before? They work well, but they cost too much Silver."
Liao Ya also said, "You made three before, and there are still two left."
Lu Yao waved his hand dismissively, "As long as it works. We will definitely encounter Western Demon Beasts in the future. I need to go home and get some Silver Beads to load into these shells..."
Unable to persuade him, the two sisters didn’t press the issue any further.
Suddenly, Liao Ya asked, "Right. At the Princess Manor, you said there was something important to tell me?"
Lu Yao looked at Liao Qe with a smile, "Haven’t you told your senior sister yet?"
Liao Qe giggled, "No, I was afraid it would scare her~ I was waiting for you to come back so we could tell her together."
Liao Ya grew even more curious, her eyebrows furrowing, "What’s going on, exactly?"
Liao Qe took a deep breath, reached into her neckline, and pulled out the Golden Piglet Pendant.
