"Boss, what should we do? Should we wait for it to end or go around it? "Luo Lang watched what was happening in front of him from afar, at the same time hanging up on the team's comms channel.
Ling Lan did not make a decision immediately. Instead, she asked Zilong, "What do you think of fighting?"
The fighting maniac Zilong had long been bored out of his mind by the dull days. When he heard his boss's question, he hurriedly replied, "We'll pass through directly. If anyone dares to rob us, we'll destroy them." These words sounded like a bandit, but they were also Zilong's true thoughts.
"I think it's necessary to sharpen our swords first." As his best friend, Han Jijun naturally had to fully support Zilong's idea. In addition, he also believed that going through a battle would allow their team to familiarize themselves with each other. After all, there were three more people, and the other party's strength had increased, so they would need some time to adapt to each other's coordination. Han Jijun liked to have everything in his hands.
[No Mecha Unrepaired] had no objections to this. Li Lanfeng's thoughts coincided with Han Jijun's, so he said in support, "Abacus is right. After all, this is the first time we're working together as a team. We do need a chance for actual combat. If there are any problems, we can still make proper adjustments before we delve deeper into the mission. This will also be extremely beneficial to the future of our team."
Lin Zhong-qing didn't say whether he agreed or not. He only told his boss that the energy crystals he had stored up were enough to support this battle. He was indirectly saying that he was also in favor of fighting.
Since everyone had the desire to fight, Ling Lan naturally would not refuse. Thus, she instructed Luo Lang and the other two who were watching from afar, "Sharp Blade, when we arrive, let's move out together."
Ling Lan was afraid that Luo Lang would act rashly. Even if the other party was a civilian adventurer team with average combat power, they had quite a number of people. Luo Lang's team of only three would still be in danger if they went up against them.
"Understood, Boss." Luo Lang replied decisively. He placed more importance on Ling Lan's orders than Zilong did. Zilong might still feign compliance, but Luo Lang would never go back on his word.
Very soon, Ling Lan led her team members to Luo Lang's side, and then indicated for everyone to continue moving in their original formation, pretending that they didn't know anything as they drew closer to the centre of the battle. However, in secret, they were all prepared for battle. The moment they noticed that the enemy's arrow, they would destroy the other with lightning speed.
"Leader, a mecha team. a mecha team.." The member in charge of security immediately discovered Luo Lang's three-man formation and quickly reported to the leader of the combat centre.
"How many people?" The captain, who was suppressing the opponent with firepower, couldn't help but frown and ask.
The team of five who had been beaten to a pulp by them and could only helplessly defend themselves had actually been targeted by them for a long time. This was because when the other party had been collecting a rare and precious energy source, they had been discovered by their team. The team leader knew very well what an energy source represented. As long as they had this energy source, once they handed it over to the military, they would become rich overnight. Thus, they had set up an ambush here long ago, prepared to kill the other party and steal this rare and precious energy source.
Originally, he thought that with the fifteen of them surrounding them, the five of them would obediently hand over the weapons. Unexpectedly, the five of them were a group of tough bones who refused to admit defeat. They actually chose to perish together and took the initiative to use firearms. If they had not been so unlucky as to not have detonated the hydrogen and chlorine in the air, they might have been completely wiped out.
And now, other than the first person who had been heavily injured and had to retreat from the battle line, the other team members had reacted quickly. Under their frenzied attacks, they had quickly killed off three people. The remaining two would probably only need another two or three minutes to finish them off...
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to achieve victory, unexpected guests had come. This put the team leader in an extremely bad mood, even feeling a surge of anger. He wanted to directly destroy this troublesome mecha team.
"It's a three-man formation." The team member on guard did not know why, but he actually did not notice the other six mecha behind Luo Lang, so he only reported to Luo Lang and the other two.
"Hmph, three people? They're really looking for death! How much longer until they meet us? " The team leader huffed coldly. In his heart, he had already decided to leave these three ignorant mecha behind. Perhaps he might even be able to get some resources.
"About a minute or so." The team member on guard estimated based on Luo Lang's speed.
"Alright, don't stop them. Just let them in..." ordered the team leader through gritted teeth. Then, he turned to the attacking team members and said, "Everyone, attack as hard as you can. Try to finish them off within a minute. Our new prey has arrived."
"Oh!" "Understood!" "Alright!" "Watch me..." Random and chaotic shouts rang out in the team's comms channel. It was clear that this group of people were not very disciplined.
Thus, they no longer worried about the issue of energy. The cold beam guns in their hands fired furiously, and cold beams shot out in a torrent towards the remaining two opponents. Out of fear that the heat cannons would cause the elemental energy in the air to explode, all of them had chosen to use cold beam guns. This crazy barrage of attacks also left the remaining two mecha with no chance to retaliate. They could only use their beam shields at full power to block these attacks.
Both of them knew what the final outcome was for them. As long as their mecha ran out of energy, their beam shields would not be able to be used. They would definitely be blasted to pieces by these cold beams and die here. The punishment for death in Mecha World was extremely cruel. If you had to do it again, not only would your mecha be completely destroyed, your points would also be deducted by an astronomical figure. Many mecha operators who did not have enough points would even be demoted from an advanced mecha to a lower mecha operator...
"Big Brother, I'll hold them off. Hurry and go find those people for help." The two of them were alerted by their mecha that there was a mecha team that had unexpectedly approached. One of the mecha immediately shouted to the other.
"They've surrounded us from all sides. They have no intention of letting us escape at all. Second Brother, even if we die, we'll die together with the other brothers." Big Brother laughed bitterly, and then his entire face twisted as he said, "However, I won't let them succeed." He touched the rare energy source they had found in his mecha's bag, and a crazy thought rose in his mind.
Big Brother spat out a mouthful of spit and said viciously, "Second Brother, fight with me. We must hold on until those people get here..." Big Brother's eyes were dark, filled with a kind of madness.
Right then, the silhouettes of Luo Lang's team could already be seen clearly. By the time they could see each other, the remaining two people in the encirclement were also on the verge of running out of energy.
"Just a little more. Just a little more than 10 seconds, and we'll be done," shouted Big Brother pitifully. He was unwilling to die here just like that.
Right then, Second Brother, who had been defending against the cold beams together, suddenly spread open his mecha's body and hugged Big Brother beside him, pressing the other's mecha under his own. Right then, all of the cold beams were focused on Second Brother's mecha. Very quickly, the faintly discernible beam shield shattered two seconds later, and all of the cold beams hit Second Brother's mecha.
"Big Brother, you must take revenge for us!" Amidst Second Brother's pitiful cries, he relied on the resistance of his mecha to hold on for about 10 seconds. Finally, his mecha was reduced to countless pieces under the torrent of cold beams.
Big Brother's mecha was finally exposed. At the same time, the originally extinguished beam shield reappeared, and he was prepared for the final fight.
"Godd * mmit, he actually managed to delay us for 11 seconds." The team leader could not help but curse. Right then, the three mecha in Luo Lang's team were about to enter each other's shooting range in the next second.
"Old Lu, take two teams to deal with those three mecha. Just leave four mecha for me." The team leader knew that he could not hesitate any longer. If they were attacked by the opponent, even if they managed to take down three of the opponent's mecha, they would still suffer losses. Moreover, he did not want to just kidnap these two teams of mecha — he wanted to gain more.
Just as Old Lu was transferring two teams of mecha, Big Brother, who had been bitterly holding on, suddenly turned on his engine. The roar of the engine caused everyone's expression to change. Right then, Big Brother operated his mecha to leap out, pushing his speed to the maximum to meet Luo Lang's team head-on.
This unexpected turn of events stunned the team robbing them. By the time they reacted, the opponent had actually broken out of their encirclement.
"Godd * mmit, shoot him down!" The team leader shouted viciously. The opponent's actions had undoubtedly enraged him — right now, he only wanted to finish off this detestable mecha before him.
The mecha running for his life did not activate his beam shield to waste the last bit of resources. He only pushed his mecha's main and auxiliary engines to the maximum to run forward as fast as he could. This action was undoubtedly a form of suicide, because the heat from the engines could very well ignite the energy in the air. The final result would be the entire mecha self-destructing, dying on the spot. However, in Big Brother's mind, dying like this was still much better than dying at the hands of the opponent.
Perhaps the heavens pitied him — his engines actually did not explode as he ran. Only the cold beam guns behind him managed to hit his mecha. His mecha was blasted into smithereens from the shoulder to the right hand. Luckily, these attacks did not hit the cockpit, otherwise he would have died on the spot.
Even so, Big Brother's mecha still managed to get close to Luo Lang's team.
"Catch! This is the precious power source we found. Please avenge us." Big Brother shouted shrilly through his mecha's public comms. Using his mecha's only left hand, he pulled out something from his mecha's bag and threw it at Luo Lang with all his might.
The item flew towards Luo Lang like a cannonball. Luo Lang reflexively caught it, but before he could inspect it, another cold beam shot towards Big Brother's mecha. This time, Big Brother did not manage to escape — his cockpit was hit directly.
The entire mecha exploded with a bang, becoming a pile of rubble that fell in front of Luo Lang. Luo Lang frowned.
