Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr In another secret room, D2, who was directing the hackers to carry out Plan T with all his might, could not help but exclaim, "He's not some advanced mecha warrior, he must be an ace operator..."
Sitting beside D2, who was also D3, cold sweat beaded on his forehead as he urged anxiously, "Quick, quick, inform D1 to send our ace operator over immediately. Otherwise, the mecha warriors here alone won't be able to stop him."
D2 was jolted awake by D3's reminder. Plan T was just a little bit away from success — if the opponent managed to break through here, all their previous efforts would be for naught. Thus, he quickly contacted D1, but the news he received was that the battle over at the trap had reached a stalemate. An ace operator infinitely close to imperial level had also appeared over there, and their ace operator had already clashed with them.
"We need to buy time." Seeing Ling Lan's team finish off another four or five mecha, D2 knew that he could not hesitate any longer. He decisively sent the remaining two teams of mecha over.
"How much time do we have left before we succeed?" D2 ordered the mecha team protecting this secret room to rush to the front of the battlefield, and then turned to ask one of his subordinate hackers who was carefully inputting hacker abilities into a black box in the secret room.
"They've already entered the breeding stage. At this speed, they'll need at least one more hour before they truly take form," replied the subordinate hacker softly as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Can't we speed it up?" D2 frowned when he heard that there was still one more hour.
"We can't. Any faster and it'll be dangerous. They'll devour our energy, all of it..." The subordinate hacker's expression changed when he heard that they had to speed up. He had once experienced the research process of the T-virus in the country. There had once been someone who had wanted to speed up the breeding process and had poured in a large amount of hacker abilities, but they had been devoured mercilessly by the T-virus. That person's outcome had been death.
His subordinate's reminder calmed D2 down. He knew very well what had happened back then, and also knew that the breeding of the T-virus could not be rushed. He could only hope that everything would go smoothly. As long as the breeding was successful, they would be able to leave the virtual world and quietly wait for the victory brought by the T-virus. The Huaxia Federation would be their spoils of war.
"Boss, they sent another two teams of mechas over." The movements of the mecha battle team naturally could not be hidden from Little Four, who was currently exploring the secret base. This time, Little Four had learned his lesson from before and immediately reported it to his boss so that his boss would not flick his head and abuse him again.
"Damn it, you're forcing me to go all out." Ling Lan placed all the energy blocks in her bag into the advanced standard Federation mech she was currently operating. If it were not for the fact that operating a mecha above one's level would cause an enormous burden and backlash on the body, Ling Lan would have preferred to use an imperial mecha. Its standard six-barreled maglev cannon would only need three or four shots to finish off all these mecha operators.
Ling Lan sighed inwardly. The imperial mecha could only be used as a trump card — it should only be used as a last resort. She knew very well that with her current abilities, she could only control the imperial mecha for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, her body would not be able to withstand the massive backlash from controlling an imperial mecha above her level, and she would completely collapse.
In the enemy's main camp, doing this sort of idiotic thing was completely suicidal. Ling Lan would definitely not let herself fall into such a desperate situation just to show off a moment's worth of might.
Ling Lan had just filled up the energy blocks when she felt another slight tremor from the ground. It went without saying that the last two mecha battle teams from the secret base were rushing over. They needed to finish off these enemy mecha before those mecha arrived. Otherwise, if another 20 or so mecha appeared, they would not be able to hold on no matter how strong their mecha control skills were.
"The enemy is sending reinforcements over. Hurry up and finish off these mecha." Ling Lan connected to the team's dedicated comms channel and decisively gave this order. (Little Four had opened up the nine mecha's dedicated team comms channel at the same time they had logged into their mecha.)
Everyone knew that the situation was critical and that they needed to go all out. Like Ling Lan, they plugged the spare energy blocks in their bags into their mecha to ensure that their mecha had enough energy. This was because in the upcoming battle, they would no longer need to seal up some of their energy-consuming advanced techniques in order to conserve energy.
Zilong's group of five, along with Li Shiyu, each operated their own mecha and began to run quickly, sometimes left, sometimes right. This made it impossible for the enemy to predict their path, so they would not be able to hit them with beam guns. Furthermore, this sort of floating movement made it impossible for the enemy to determine who their target was …
All of the enemy mecha grew nervous, because the remaining 18 mecha could become the target of the six people's attack. Suddenly, the silhouettes of the six gliding mecha disappeared... oh, no, they didn't disappear. Instead, they drew out six flickering shadows. This was precisely the advanced technique that only advanced mecha warriors could master — Light and Shadow Gliding Steps.
There were two types of footwork for advanced mecha warriors. One was the Z-shaped Flash, which Zilong's group of six had actually used from the start. The other was the Light and Shadow Glide Steps that they were using now. The reason why the six of them had all chosen the Light and Shadow Glide Steps for their final attack was because the Light and Shadow Glide Steps not only had the ability to increase speed, but also had the effect of confusing the enemy. It would cause the enemy mecha's external camera to lag, making it very difficult to determine their true position and attack time.
Of course, experienced advanced mecha warriors would be able to judge based on their experience, so the Light and Shadow Glide Steps would not be able to confuse them … However, these mecha warriors before them were not played by real people, but real NPCs. As soon as they had clashed, Zilong's group had realized this.
In the settings of the mainframe, these NPCs only had a 20% chance of not being confused. In other words, the chances of them being confused were rather high. Meanwhile, Zilong's group ignored the wild beam attacks of these NPC mecha. In the next second, they had arrived before the target mecha, raised their cold weapons coldly, and slashed viciously at the other.
The beam shields of mecha could be said to be specially created to deal with all sorts of energy weapons such as beam guns. Against cold weapons that relied purely on brute force to destroy, the shield's defence was rather weak.
Five mecha were struck viciously by Zilong's group, and the energy in their beam shields was directly drained. The powerful force directly dealt a heavy blow to the mecha. The two weapons collided fiercely, and a string of sparks instantly flew.
Zilong's group was not purely attacking recklessly. The areas they had chosen to attack were the connecting points of the mecha's various regions. In order to maintain the flexibility of the mecha, when the mecha was being manufactured, the defensive strength of these areas could only be sacrificed. For example, the shoulder blades, the neck, the waist, the hip, the arms, the ankles, the knees, and so on. Their choice allowed them to destroy a portion of the mecha in one move.
Only one mecha managed to avoid this crisis, entering the 20% chance of not being confused. It could be said to be extremely lucky. This made Luo Lang feel rather uncomfortable. He could not understand why he was the only one with such bad luck.
Luo Lang gritted his teeth and attacked once more. Since he had failed, he would make up for it. He did not believe that the opponent would still have this 20% chance with his next attack.
Luo Lang was 100% confident in his attack this time, but when he found that he had missed once more, his entire face turned red with anger. Hells, even if he looked a little feminine, he could not be discriminated against like he was a girl, right?
Unable to contain his anger, Luo Lang followed up with another Light-shadow Glide Steps. Luo Lang was going against the mainframe now. He did not believe that this NPC mecha warrior would really be so lucky to not be confused time and time again …
Ideals were beautiful, but reality was cruel. Luo Lang's confident third attack was once again dodged by the NPC. At this time, Luo Lang could not hold it in any longer. He cursed, "Bastard …"
At this time, Ling Lan, who was attacking with both hands, had also chosen Light-shadow Glide Steps. Against real people, this technique was more or less flawed, but against NPCs, it was extremely effective. It was one of the preferred techniques of all players. The cold weapon she was currently using was the amazing weapon Regretless forged by Chang Xinyuan. The unique sharpness of Regretless was being displayed to its fullest by Ling Lan at this time.
Ling Lan slashed left and right, splitting the outer shells of the two mecha in front of her apart. She felt that the tough outer shells of the mecha were not as tough as she had imagined. She felt that her slashes had cut through easily, all the way until she hit the cockpit of the mecha.
The cockpit of a mecha was the most fatal weakness of the mecha, because the operator was inside it. Whether it was an NPC or a real person mecha, once the cockpit was hit, the mainframe would judge it as a destructive blow. Sure enough, the mecha exploded instantly. Ling Lan's video feed indicated that the enemy mecha had been completely destroyed.
Seeing this, Ling Lan could not help but be taken aback. She glanced at Regretless in her hands in disbelief. She had always known that Regretless was very sharp, but she had never expected it to be this sharp. The advanced standard mecha in Mecha World were actually unable to withstand a single attack from Regretless.
Right then, one of the enemy mecha behind Ling Lan saw that Ling Lan had stopped moving after destroying two of their friendly mecha. Thinking that there was a chance for revenge, he quickly raised the cold weapon in his hands and swung it viciously at the back of Ling Lan's head.
Ling Lan, who had the entire situation under her control, did not move at all. Regretless in her hands swung backwards and stabbed fiercely. This movement was stealthy and sudden. That mecha had no time to react at all, and Regretless stabbed into its cockpit.
The enemy mecha raised the cold weapon in its hands high, but it could no longer swing it down. Ling Lan operated her mecha and with a powerful scorpion tail swing, she sent that mecha flying with a powerful kick. The mecha crashed into the back of another mecha that was desperately attacking Chang Xinyuan's pot lid with its cold weapon. The sudden attack did not allow that mecha to react in time. It fell forward uncontrollably, falling onto Chang Xinyuan's pot lid mecha, its attack abruptly halted.
He was just about to struggle and climb up from Chang Xinyuan's pot lid mecha when two large teeth suddenly appeared on both sides of the pot lid, biting down viciously on that mecha. As the pot lid was completely covered by the enemy mecha, no one saw that the centre of the pot lid suddenly split open to form a round hole. Then, a beam of purple light struck the mecha's body, blasting a round hole 50 centimetres in diameter out of the mecha. That hole was the mecha's cockpit. Just like that, the enemy mecha fell onto Chang Xinyuan's pot lid mecha …
