However, he no longer had the chance to consider if this was a trap. Suddenly, the world spun around him. He felt dizzy, and lost control of his mech for a moment!
This was Han Jia taking advantage of the situation to launch a knee strike! It was a heavy blow. Ye Chong regretted that he did not install a barb on this part of the mech, or the blow alone would have rendered the mech powerless.
The Black Cove mech pilot was experienced. He knew that this was a normal reaction when a mech was heavily hit. When a mech was heavily hit, it would lose control for a short period of time. During this time, the mech pilot needed to remain calm, because the enemy would surely kill him. The sooner he could regain control of his mech, the higher his chances of survival.
The thought was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. Under Mu and Shang's training, Ye Chong's chances of making a mistake had been reduced to a minimum. Ye Chong would not let go of such an opportunity.
The moment he hit his opponent, Han Jia's engines were already at full throttle. Han Jia accelerated to its maximum speed. At such a short distance, Mach 9 was a terrifying speed.
The Black Cove mech pilot's horrified eyes only saw an afterimage flash by, and his initially calm gaze could no longer be maintained. In the face of death, even the most level-headed person would not remain unmoved.
Clang! The sharp edge of Han Jia's shield sliced through the Cosmic Flare's throat like a dagger. The iron lizard's scales were made of a sturdy shield, and Ye Chong had sharpened its edges.
Han Jia was like an assassin right now.
Just as the mech pilot in the cockpit was rejoicing at the fact that he was still alive, he suddenly heard a shrill whistling sound. Even under such circumstances, he still found it strange. Weren't those the two unidentified flying objects that he had sent flying?
Two self-lock-on spinning darts flew towards the Cosmic Flare, one in front and one behind! The throat was an important part of a humanoid mech. It was the hub of the mech's internal photon circuits. Once hit, the mech would be destroyed. Any mech pilot with a little common sense would not leave such a vulnerable and important part exposed to the enemy.
But now, the mech pilot could only watch as the two dart-like objects grew larger and larger in his eyes!
As the name suggested, the Self-Locking Spinning Dart had an automatic locking function.
Peng, the first dart accurately struck the Cosmic Flare's throat where Han Jia's shield had just sliced open! The astonishing power brought about by the Mach 10 speed was on full display at this moment. He was as fast as a meteor. With a loud bang, the Cosmic Flare's entire head was sent flying. Under the destruction of the high-frequency vibrating dart, the exposed neck of the Cosmic Flare showed an irregular jagged section. At the same time, countless fragments flew in all directions.
The terrifying momentum caused people to feel a chill down their necks.
The second dart was like a sentient bee. It made a slight adjustment in the air and flew toward the Cosmic Flare, which had already lost control.
The mech pilot in the Cosmic Flare was now completely pale. In his already unfocused eyes, the dart accurately flew into the Cosmic Flare's neck! The sound of metal colliding rang out from within the Cosmic Flare. At the same time, it was accompanied by a shrill scream. Then, there was silence. A few seconds later, something flew out from the incision on the Cosmic Flare's neck. It was the self-locking spinning dart that had flown in earlier.
Like two birds returning to their nest, the two spinning darts obediently returned to Han Jia's body. Following that, there was a loud bang, and the Cosmic Flare exploded right before Ye Chong's eyes! It seemed that the second spinning dart had destroyed the mech's energy system.
An hour was not a long time. However, Ye Chong was extraordinarily lucky. He did not miss a single mech from the Three Forces. From this, it was obvious that the Three Forces had amassed a large number of forces on Windstar, and valued Ye Chong greatly.
Ambushing in the dark required the element of surprise. If not for the fact that communication was completely cut off, Ye Chong would not have dared to take care of these scattered mechs. Han Jia and Guardian were used by Ye Chong in turns, and the results were satisfactory. At least, he had not lost a single target.
Of the Three Forces' mechs, the Sanctuary's mechs were the most difficult to deal with, followed by Black Cove's, and the MPA's.
This was undoubtedly a night of slaughter. Ye Chong had already killed 13 mechs, of which 3 were Dawns from the Sanctuary, 4 were Cosmic Flare from Black Cove, and 6 were Messengers from the MPA. It was a fruitful battle.
An hour was almost up, and Ye Chong had returned to the hospital building. Here, Mu would be fighting against the top Mavericks on the other side of the battlefield. Ye Chong wanted to be a spectator at first. It would be a pity if he could not witness such a rare virtual battle with his own eyes. However, Ye Chong's request was rejected by Mu, as he could not guarantee Ye Chong's safety.
This showed how much Mu valued these Mavericks. There were many spare energy cells beside Mu.
Ye Chong could only wait for Mu's good news. Waiting was undoubtedly the most painful thing, but fortunately, Ye Chong's life on Trash Planet-12 had made him more patient than his peers in this aspect.
Ye Chong worked hard to recover his stamina. The one hour battle just now, even though it was a sneak attack, had exhausted him greatly. However, he dared not try to recover his stamina by sleeping, as he still had things to do.
Mu's calculations required a large amount of energy, so Ye Chong replaced the energy cells for Mu. Within an hour, Ye Chong had replaced 16 energy cells for Mu. That was how intense the battle was!
"It's done!" Mu let out a long sigh, announcing the end of the battle. Ye Chong could finally relax.
"How was it?" asked Ye Chong.
Mu replied calmly, "The situation has stabilized until 8 am tomorrow. Unless someone stronger comes, those people I met just now would not be able to break through."
Ye Chong was no doubt an idiot when it came to photon processors, but that did not stop him from understanding Mu's words.
Of course, Ye Chong did not know that the battle between Mu and the Mavericks was far more intense than Ye Chong had imagined. Mu's opponents were 9 top-notch Mavericks. These Mavericks were legendary existences in the Inner Realm. Faced with such a disaster, these Mavericks chose to fight without hesitation. The only fortunate thing was that these 9 Mavericks did not work together. Some of them did not even know that they had comrades in arms. Besides, the solitary nature of being a Maverick was deeply ingrained in their bones. Being a Maverick was synonymous with loneliness.
The battle was unforgettable for all the experts who participated in it. Of the 9 experts, one died on the spot, while the other two became vegetative. Killing via the virtual world, which only existed in the legends of the Mavericks, had happened more than once here.
Ye Chong could not care less about what happened in the virtual world. As long as Mu was fine, he was relieved. Mu and Shang were irreplaceable in his heart.
Twenty-three planets had completely lost contact with the outside world, and everyone's eyes were focused on this area in horror. It was now the 4th hour since the virtual world was down. As long as one was not an idiot, there would be no one who did not know what had happened.
For a moment, everyone on Windstar was in a state of panic. People suddenly realized that the world was in a mess. The public security was declining rapidly. The sky was filled with panicked people in mechs. Fights were everywhere.
The place had become hell!
The veins on Hak's forehead were throbbing. He did not expect this to happen to him. They had completely lost contact with Black Cove. His subordinates had just reported that four Cosmic Flares had not returned. This made him feel even more ominous.
Right now, the entire Windstar was in a state of chaos. Forget about looking for people, even returning to Black Cove without a hitch was not an easy task. Who knew when the virtual world would be repaired?
However, the fact that the 4 Cosmic Flares had not returned made him uneasy. The Cosmic Flares were strong. Other than the Sanctuary and the MPA, he could not think of any other opponents. Hmm, maybe that F-58 could do it too. However, these were 4 Cosmic Flares. Could he destroy all 4 of them alone? He would not believe it. Even if he had a full-skeleton mech, it was impossible.
On Windstar, the only one who could destroy 4 Cosmic Flares, other than the Sanctuary, was the MPA.
Could this be a premeditated plan? Hak's heart skipped a beat. Hmm, how could it be so coincidental that 4 Cosmic Flares disappeared right after the virtual world was down? No matter how he thought about it, Hak could not help but feel that this was a conspiracy.
Could this really be a trap? Hak's expression changed drastically.
Other than the Three Forces, Hak could not believe that an organization other than the Three Forces could do such a thing. Hmm, of course there was no problem with his side. But was it the Sanctuary or the MPA? What was their goal?
The more he thought about it, the more Hak's head hurt. While he was an instructor, strategy was not his area of expertise. He felt that he had improved by coming to this conclusion.
No matter what, he had to find the 4 Cosmic Flares first. He wanted to see them, dead or alive. Hmph, even if it was the Sanctuary or the MPA, he would not be afraid. What worried him the most was that F-58. There was no sign of it. That was a strict order from above. Hak could not help but shudder at the thought of the punishment he would have to face if he did not complete the mission.
He decided to personally lead a team to investigate the situation.
