Ye Chong was already flying back. Shang's three shots were swift and decisive, not giving him a chance to escape. Just then, Ye Chong heard Shang's voice in the comms channel, "Ye, they've sent a distress signal, what do we do?" Shang's voice sounded eager, obviously excited by the few shots he had just fired.
Ye Chong replied indifferently, "Ignore them, we still have things to do."
"Oh." Shang sounded like a child who was given a fun toy, only to be told not to play with it. "Ah!" Shang suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong? Shang. "Ye Chong was surprised.
Shang quickly said, "Ye, look at this."
A holographic image popped up on Puppet's photon processor. It was the side view of a starship, and through the window, he could clearly see the terrified expressions of the people inside. Ye Chong's eyes narrowed!
His eyes seemed to be fixed there for a full three seconds. While the image only showed the side view of the person, Ye Chong was sure that he could not be wrong.
Grandpa Qian! The image showed an old man with a side view of his face leaning against the window. Ye Chong was very familiar with that face. Ye Chong had lived with Grandpa Qian for a long time, and he was sure that he could not be wrong.
Ye Chong quickly reacted, and asked urgently, "Shang, which starship is this?" Without further hesitation, he waved his hand, and Puppet made a perfect turn, flying towards the chaotic battlefield. No matter what, since he had met Grandpa Qian, he would not just stand by and watch. His time on Blue Ocean with Grandpa Qian was the happiest since he left the trash planet. And Grandpa Qian was an old man that Ye Chong loved. Ye Chong could not bear to see Grandpa Qian die in this war.
Puppet's speed was pushed to the maximum, and Ye Chong almost regretted not piloting Han Jia. In the dark void, the puppet was like a king flying in the darkness.
Another thin but straight blue beam came from behind Ye Chong, flashing before his eyes. Ye Chong's sharp eyes were able to pinpoint the source of the light. A starship's cabin door was surrounded by a few mechs, and the beam of blue light had hit the nearest pirate mech. Upon closer inspection, there was a finger-sized hole in the smooth armor of the pilot cabin. Without a sound, the mech suddenly went out of control.
Ye Chong understood that Shang was pointing him in the right direction. He quickly adjusted his direction and headed towards the starship.
At the same time, a few more rays of blue light brushed past the puppet dangerously. The remaining mechs also went out of control. Ye Chong understood that Shang must have killed the mech pilot in the opponent's mech. He could no longer be bothered with the powerful penetrative power of the recursion ray. Right now, he only hated the fact that the puppet was so slow.
A few more beams of blue light shot out, and the pirate mechs around the starship became Shang's targets. Everyone was hit in the exact same spot. Every mech suddenly lost control, but none of them exploded. To avoid an explosion, Shang chose the cockpit of the pirate mech. In fact, the blue beam as thick as a finger was too thin for a mech that was 10 meters tall, and it was almost undetectable in space. Many mech pilots who were in a stalemate with the pirate mechs were shocked to find their enemies suddenly losing control.
However, the pirate leader, who had been watching the mysterious sniper mech pilot all this while, felt a chill run down his spine! Heavens, since when did such a crazy sniper mech pilot appear? How the f * ck did he not give the others a chance to live?
Ye Chong successfully approached the starship. All the enemies around him had already been killed by Shang. Ye Chong, worried about Grandpa Qian, flew towards the cabin door. Even in such a situation, he could still maintain his calm.
Puppet's petite body was more advantageous in this terrain. Puppet did not make a sound as it stepped onto the starship, agile like a cat. Ye Chong flew silently to the fork in the tunnel, and finally understood what was going on. At the end of the tunnel, there was a mech fighting with all its might. This mech was a typical combat mech, but Ye Chong found it to be very weak. However, in such an environment, he was able to unleash his full potential. The pirates' mechs, on the other hand, were restricted and clumsy. They did not dare to fire their laser beams in such an environment. If the starship were to explode, everyone on board would die, including themselves.
The narrow tunnel could only accommodate one mech at a time, so all three mechs were stuck here, unable to move forward. The only mech that could fight against the combat mech was the one at the front. These mechs all had their backs to Ye Chong. They probably did not expect everyone on the outside to be killed.
Puppet's movements were as silent as ever. Even in such a narrow space, Puppet's movements were still smooth.
Ye Chong was as calm as an iron lizard before its prey.
With a sliding step, Puppet quickly stuck to the back of the mech furthest away. The mech seemed to have sensed something, and was about to investigate, when Puppet suddenly moved!
Puppet's left hand quietly grabbed the mech's neck, and in that instant, the parrying spear in its right arm shot out like a venomous snake, sinking into the mech's body. Ye Chong had chosen the same position in the cockpit. The Parrying Spear, which had been infused with black gold, performed exceptionally well, piercing right through the mech. Ye Chong could even hear the sound of bones breaking as the parrying spear pierced through the mech, and the poor mech pilot's screams of pain.
At the same time, Puppet's right leg kicked the mech's leg joint, and the mech immediately bent down. Puppet's left hand exerted force, and the mech that was already pierced through became even shorter.
The commotion had alerted the two mechs at the front, and the mech that was fighting with the combat mech panicked. The combat mech, on the other hand, knew that reinforcements had arrived, and its morale was boosted.
The second mech quickly tried to turn around, trying to block the ambusher from behind.
Ye Chong did not give his opponent any chance. This place was heaven for combat mechs like Ye Chong. Puppet pushed off with its left hand, and pulled out the parrying spear from the mech below it. With a leap, it leaped over the mech below it like a fish. After leaping over the first mech, it was now about 20 meters away from the second mech.
Puppet's agile reaction made the mech that was turning around even more panicked.
Puppet leaped over the mech below it, and before it landed, it extended its body, using its legs on the wall of the passageway, and shot towards its opponent like a cannonball.
Puppet's movement was extremely fast. In such a narrow space, the impact of such a high speed was unimaginable. As they crossed each other, the parrying spear in Puppet's right hand accurately pierced through the mech's throat. However, this move also caused Puppet's body to tilt slightly to the side, and just as it was about to crash into the wall of the passageway, Puppet used the wall as a support, and did not even look at the mech that had lost control behind it.
At that moment, the first mech that was killed by Puppet finally fell to the ground with a loud thud.
The throat was also an extremely vulnerable part of a mech, as it was where the photon circuits converged. Once the throat was destroyed, the mech would be completely destroyed.
The last mech realized that it was being attacked from the front and the back, and panicked even more. Ye Chong did not show any mercy, and plunged his parrying spear into the mech's body. However, Ye Chong did not go too far, as he did not want to cause a huge explosion here.
Throughout the entire process, the puppet's movements were swift and powerful, and it was done smoothly and smoothly. In addition, its movements were extremely erratic, making it difficult to predict. Moreover, in such a narrow environment, it would often use some extremely strange movements. These unconventional maneuvers required a strong mech piloting skill for a mech pilot.
The combat mech before Ye Chong was not very skilled in combat, but Ye Chong could see that the mech's dodging skills were solid. It was because of this that the mech was able to stall the pirate mech for so long, trapping the enemy here.
Chapter 9: The King of Close Range Combat
Swoosh! The alloy door behind the combat mech opened, and the mech gestured to Ye Chong to enter with him. Ye Chong wanted to enter anyway, so he did not decline, and followed the mech. As soon as they entered, the alloy door closed behind them, and the air valve opened, and air was quickly pumped into the room. After the air pressure stabilized, another alloy door opened, and a large group of people rushed out, cheering happily around the combat mech.
Ye Chong quickly found Grandpa Qian in the crowd. Grandpa Qian looked the same as before, but he looked older, and his face looked more tired. The two people beside him, however, surprised Ye Chong. The one supporting Grandpa Qian was Rui Su, while Rui Bing stood on the other side of Grandpa Qian in her white training garb. Beside Rui Bing was a beautiful middle-aged woman, who looked similar to Rui Bing and Rui Su. Ye Chong guessed that she must be their mother.
How did they end up with Grandpa Qian? That was the biggest question in Ye Chong's mind.
Just then, the pilot cabin of the combat mech opened, and a young man came out. The cheers grew louder. It was this young man's outstanding performance that lasted until the reinforcements arrived, or else everyone here would have been captured by the pirates.
This young man was none other than Wei Yuan, whom Ye Chong knew. Wei Yuan's face was full of excitement after his success, as he ran to Rui Bing, "Sister Bing, Sister Bing, haha, I did it!" Rui Bing's icy face also bloomed with joy.
Rui Su chimed in, "Little Yuan, you have no idea how pathetic you were just now, tsk tsk, jumping up and down, it was really ugly." Wei Yuan's face turned bitter, "Sister Su, you don't have to be so harsh on me." His expression made everyone laugh. Grandpa Qian laughed heartily, and even Rui Bing could not help but smile.
Ye Chong did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why were they all people he knew?
Rui Bing shifted her gaze to the mech that looked like a clown. Everyone here had clearly seen its series of actions through the holographic cameras installed in the passageway. Of all the people here, only Wei Yuan and Ye Chong knew the worth of the clown mech's three swift attacks.
Rui Bing was sure that the mech pilot in the clown mech must be an expert in combat, and had excellent mech piloting skills. This kind of mech piloting skills was definitely not as good as Wei Yuan's bragging skills.
Ye Chong looked at Grandpa Qian's smile, and the memories of his life with Grandpa Qian flashed across his mind. Ye Chong was lost in thought.
"Hey, expert, please come out for a moment!" Wei Yuan shouted, his hands forming a trumpet shape. Wei Yuan was full of admiration for this expert, he was definitely an expert in mech combat. Wei Yuan believed that among the close combat experts, other than his idol and future brother-in-law YC, there weren't many who could match up to the expert in front of him. In his mind, Ye Chong was already his brother-in-law.
Everyone looked expectantly at the clown mech's pilot cabin. They wanted to see how the hero who saved them looked like.
Wei Yuan's voice woke Ye Chong up. He looked at Grandpa Qian and Rui Bing below, and for some reason, he gave up on the idea of going down.
"Shang, can you find out the fleet's destination?" Ye Chong quickly contacted Shang.
"Oh, okay!" Shang did not stop his hands as he replied.
Fid was now staring at the huge starship, and the opened cabin door of the starship, revealing only half of the mech. His brain felt like it had short-circuited, and he was too shocked to speak. In fact, it was not just him. In fact, everyone in the captain's cabin was staring at the half-covered mech on the holographic screen with their mouths wide open.
Was this really a level a human could achieve?
That was probably the question in everyone's mind.
From the very beginning, this ridiculously powerful sniper mech pilot had not stopped at all. He was like a tireless war machine. Although the fatal blue light was still faint and undetectable, it was a death ray in the hearts of everyone in the captain's room. Each flash of blue light signified the death of a mech, and every mech died in the same way, turning into a fireball.
This fearsome accuracy did not show any signs of slowing down. From the start till now, this mech pilot had maintained a 100% accuracy rate.
A clear electronic sound woke everyone up, and they finally came back to their senses. Fid's assistant quickly ran to the control panel, and suddenly shouted, "Captain, look! They're asking for our destination, and the nature of the fleet."
Without thinking, Fid waved his hand and said, "Quick, tell them! We only have hope if they help us! "Fid could only place his hopes on this starship.
"Ye, they're a migrating fleet heading towards Csebesini Galaxy. All the crew members are civilians." Shang quickly informed Ye Chong of the information they received.
"Csebesini Galaxy …" Ye Chong understood immediately. They were fleeing from the war. The only thing Ye Chong did not understand was why Grandpa Qian was with Rui Bing and the rest.
The Rui family and Grandpa Qian's relationship began not long after Ye Chong left Blue Ocean. Rui Bing had been trying to find out everything about Ye Chong, and Rui Su regretted everything she did, so she tried her best to find out for her sister. Ye Chong had been staying at Grandpa Qian's house before he entered Blue Ocean Academy. This was common knowledge, and everyone knew that Ye Chong and Grandpa Qian were very close.
Perhaps it was because she loved Grandpa Qian, or some other reason, that Rui Bing often went to Grandpa Qian's shop. Grandpa Qian was also very fond of this cold hearted girl. Rui Bing would sometimes help Grandpa Qian make noodles, and occasionally ask Grandpa Qian about Ye Chong. Grandpa Qian understood the little girl's thoughts, and answered all her questions with a smile. Rui Su would often accompany her sister here. Unexpectedly, Rui Su, this eccentric fellow, was especially liked by Grandpa Qian. Rui Su was also an obedient girl in front of Grandpa Qian, which made Rui Bing feel strange for a long time. As time went by, Grandpa Qian was like a real grandfather to the two of them.
Grandpa Qian did not want to migrate to Csebesini Galaxy at first. To him, he was already so old, it was not a big deal to die here, not to mention the long journey, and he heard that it was not a safe journey. However, he could not resist Rui Bing and Madam Rui's persuasion, and Rui Su and Wei Yuan's persistent pestering, and he finally agreed.
Ye Chong naturally did not know the reason behind it, but he did not want to find out. To him, as long as Grandpa Qian was living well, it was fine.
Ye Chong could not help but look at the girl beside Grandpa Qian, who was still in her white training garb. Her inviolable aura stood out from the rest.
"Ah! Isn't that our Bing Bing? Heavens! Ye, you're lucky with the ladies! How could you meet our Bing Bing here? What … Ladies? You don't even know about ladies? That must be the chip Lunatic Guan gave you, don't you have a look? Isn't there an illustrated handbook of plants on it … "Shang kept shooting as he observed Ye Chong's situation.
"Master, come out and meet me! We're all waiting for you! " Wei Yuan was still shouting from below. Everyone was curious, why was the hero not coming out yet?
While everyone was still in a state of confusion, the clown-like mech pointed outside with its finger. Everyone came to a sudden realization. Yes, the battle outside had not ended yet, but they were celebrating here. The excitement of surviving a disaster was gone. If they lost the battle outside, the fate that awaited them would be the same.
The smile on Wei Yuan's face was gone, replaced by a somber expression. He immediately ran towards his mech. In fact, Ye Chong did not think that Wei Yuan's actions would help the battle at all. However, if the guy died, Grandpa Qian and the girl in the white training garb would probably be sad.
With that thought, Ye Chong rummaged around in his bag for a while, and found a dimension keystone. He opened the cabin a little and threw it towards Wei Yuan.
Rui Bing, who had been paying attention to what was happening, took a step forward and actually crossed the three meters distance. She flashed to Wei Yuan's side and stretched out her hand. Using only two fingers, she caught the little thing that was flying towards Wei Yuan. It was a dimension keystone in the shape of a ring. Wei Yuan finally realized what was going on. He took the keystone from Rui Bing's hand and shouted to the clown mech, "Master, is this for me?"
The clown mech nodded and flew away.
"Shang, we might have to fight soon." Ye Chong said plainly. Puppet had not left the starship yet.
"Wahaha, Ye, I knew it. Hehe, you must have seen our Bing Bing 'er. Tsk tsk, as expected of the hero who fell for the beauty. Even a beast like you, Ye, could not avoid such a fate … "Shang chattered on.
Ye Chong was speechless. He could always remain calm in battle, but he could not resist Shang's verbal bombardment.
When Ye Chong flew out of the starship, he saw the huge words "Coxcomb" right in front of the Coxcomb. Ye Chong almost lost control of the puppet. Shang had even printed out the ship's serial number.
Both the pirate leader and Commander Fid were petrified. Coxcomb, such a huge starship with such a vulgar name. Everyone felt sorry for the Zika starship.
Up till now, Shang had destroyed dozens of mechs. Since the blue beam from Recursion was too thin, it could not be seen in space, and was easily ignored. Many of the pirate mechs saw their companions turning into fireballs for no reason.
The dark void was lit up like a banquet.
The pressure on Commander Fid's side was greatly reduced. The surviving mech pilots were now able to fend off the pirates.
The pirate leader was furious. They were so close to victory, but a powerful sniper mech pilot came out to mess things up. He understood that if he did not take some measures, the situation would be disadvantageous to him. This sniper mech pilot was too terrifying. There was almost no pause in his shooting, and he did not even need time to aim. In just a short time, he had lost dozens of mechs. At this rate, he would not be able to fill the hole no matter how many people he had.
"Knife, bring Black Tribe and get rid of that guy." The pirate leader could not hold it in anymore.
