Looking at the red-tailed beasts chasing after his two remaining companions, the tough man felt a surge of sorrow welling up within him! For this battle, every one of them had given it their all! They had even sacrificed their lives for this battle!
But they were so close! Looking around the battlefield, he saw mech parts floating everywhere. It was a scene of devastation. Here, his comrades would rest in peace! Here, he would rest in peace as well!
At that moment, no one noticed a mech sneaking up behind Scholes' mech. Scholes did not notice it, and neither did the red-tailed beast chasing after the two mechs.
Scholes was enraged when he saw the ugly creature chasing after his comrades. Without hesitation, he raised his energy gun and fired at the red-tailed beast!
The energy beam hit the red-tailed beast's shiny black carapace. Sparks of light scattered and disappeared into space. On the other hand, the red-tailed beast's back was as good as new, without a single scratch.
The attack did not cause any damage to the red-tailed beast, but it had attracted its attention.
The red-tailed beast turned around and glared fiercely at the mech behind it with its bloodshot eyes.
Scholes fearlessly watched the ugly monster rush towards him, but he did not have the slightest intention of dodging.
The bright red tail of the arrowhead glowed brightly in the dark of space. Its invincibility had long been imprinted in everyone's hearts.
As the two of them got closer, the red-tailed beast grew larger in Scholes' eyes. Surprisingly, Scholes didn't panic at all. He was unprecedentedly calm.
Perhaps, this was the place where he would rest in peace.
A faint smile quietly blossomed on his lips. However, he did not plan to give up on this opportunity to attack. He knew that he alone could not do any damage to the powerful red-tailed beast. However, as a mech pilot, dying in battle was far more meaningful than waiting to be slaughtered.
He had sent the report of their encounter with the red-tailed beast back to the headquarters. General Alva should have received it by now. This was a relief to him.
He had done what he had to do. Now, it was time to fight to the death! Scholes' eyes glowed brightly!
Scholes did not do anything as the red-tailed beasts grew in number. He stared at the holographic screen. He was waiting, waiting for the moment when the red-tailed beast would make contact with him. Against the speed of the red-tailed beast, any mechs would be futile.
Scholes did not know that behind his mech, there was a mech sticking closely to his mech, even maintaining the exact same posture.
Ye Chong stared calmly at the red-tailed beast on the holographic screen. His original plan was to hide behind the mech and wait for the red-tailed beasts to attack. He did not expect the mech to be so cooperative, firing an energy gun at the red-tailed beast to lure it over.
Did he discover me?
The thought flashed through Ye Chong's mind. He did not have time to think about this unimportant issue.
All his brainpower was focused on the approaching red-tailed beasts.
His speed had dropped drastically, and the luster on his body was rapidly dimming. His swollen muscles were showing obvious signs of withering, and his mental state was clearly not as good as before.
"This should be the aftereffects." Mu's conclusion was in line with Ye Chong's speculation. "Under the physiological mechanism of temporary forced stimulation, the aftereffects are usually more severe."
"Yes, its stats are dropping," Ye Chong agreed with Mu. Ye Chong agreed with Mu. "What a pity. If it had attacked those two mechs first, we would have a better chance."
"You are too greedy," Mu said disapprovingly.
Of course, Ye Chong was just saying. The situation on the battlefield was ever changing, he did not have the time to choose. Moreover, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
Ye Chong's pupils shrunk as the red-tailed beast approached. He was ready for an ambush!
Scholes's eyes were focused, his mind was calm. He was now in a standard combat stance. His left arm was shielded in front of him, his right hand was holding the sword, and his mech body was slightly arched.
The red-tailed beast was too fast! It was much faster than his mech. Even though Scholes was prepared, the speed of the red-tailed beast was too much for him to handle.
The outline of the red-tailed beast's body was blurred due to the speed, which made it look like an illusion.
"Now!" Scholes shouted, his eyes wide open in anger. He performed the moves that he had trained so many times in the past, without any hindrance this time.
Inside the cockpit, the alarm went off. The flashing red light made the cockpit look dangerous.
His mech was penetrated! The arrowhead was indeed powerful. However, Scholes, who had already given up on life and death, did not care about it at all. He performed a series of maneuvers without any hesitation.
His left arm retracted slightly, and the shield sprang up like a compressed spring, slapping towards the red-tailed beast's face. Below the shield was the silent tip of the alloy sword.
Thump!
The shield landed heavily on the red-tailed beast. Scholes was overjoyed. He had racked his brain to come up with this plan. However, the shield could not deal a fatal blow to the red-tailed beast. The real killer was the alloy sword under the shield's protection!
He was still in ecstasy, but the alloy sword did not feel any force. It was as if he had fallen from the top of a mountain to the bottom of a valley. His heart sank, and his mind went blank. He missed!
This was his only chance, and he failed! Scholes's face was ashen. He felt an indescribable sense of loss. He did not care about his own death, but he wanted to use his life to create a chance for his other two comrades to escape.
But he failed!
He stared at the holographic screen blankly. He wanted to do something else, but his rationality told him that it was all in vain. The red-tailed beast's reaction was too fast. His alloy sword had missed because it had grazed the beast's waist. After suffering such a heavy blow, the red-tailed beast was still able to dodge such a subtle attack. Scholes was speechless.
Scholes, who was glancing at the holographic screen, suddenly widened his eyes. He suddenly straightened his body and stared at the holographic screen, his face full of disbelief.
His mind went blank. He did not know that his hands were gripping the edge of the control panel so hard that they turned white.
"How is this possible..." Scholes muttered to himself. His brain had short-circuited. He could not understand what had happened.
Not far away from him, the powerful red-tailed beast had become several pieces of broken body parts floating in space. Its head was facing Scholes. It did not even have time to close its eyes. Its red eyes gradually dimmed and lost their light. The cuts on each body part were smooth. It was obvious that they were cut by a sharp object.
What was going on? What had happened to this world? Scholes looked around blankly. He could see nothing alive around him.
"Head... Head! Look, radius vector of 44 degrees, we need to use optical mode! " The voice of one of his surviving companions came through the comms channel. His voice was filled with excitement.
Radius vector: 44 degrees. Observation mode: optical mode. Scholes operated the main control panel in a daze, completely ignoring the crazy alarms.
On the holographic screen, a strange mech was flying away at an incredible speed. The poor visual range of optical mode did not allow him to see the mech clearly. He could only see a small and colorful silhouette.
"Mu, we finally have food." After so many days of flight, Han Jia's food reserves were almost depleted even though it was abundant. If they could not replenish it soon, they would probably starve to death in space. So before they left the battlefield, Ye Chong found the nutrient supply container among the floating debris. This made him heave a sigh of relief, and he was in a good mood because he had just solved the problem in his heart.
"Yes, but Ye, we need to find a place with supplies as soon as possible. Also, we need to find our current location as soon as possible. "Mu said methodically.
"So you need this?" Ye Chong pointed to a few pieces of mech parts wrapped around the soft thorns. These parts were no different from scrap metal now, but they contained the information that Ye Chong and Mu needed. They were once the photon processor of the mech.
"Yes, Ye, but first we need you to separate the chip from it."
"Separate?" He took a look at the large piece and confirmed with Mu again, "Mu, you mean I need to separate the chip from here?" The photon processor was one of the most complicated parts of the mech. Dismantling it required great skill.
"Correct."
"Without any equipment, without any tools, we can only rely on the mech's thick mechanical arm to do this delicate job?"
"It is difficult, but Ye, we have no other choice." Mu calmly pointed out that Ye Chong's complaint was worthless, and added, "To increase the success rate, I suggested you to collect a few more pieces for practice. To your credit, you took my advice. "
Ye Chong looked at the complicated parts outside, and looked at Han Jia's thick and clumsy mechanical arm, and could not help but feel speechless.
"Oh, by the way, Ye, I have good news to tell you."
"What good news?" Ye Chong was thinking about how to use Han Jia's thick and clumsy mechanical arm to separate the fragile chip from the parts. His reply was a little absent-minded.
"Shang's reorganization will be completed soon. We have come to an agreement on the change of shifts. He will be online for the next 153 days after his awakening. I hope you will have a good time. "
"Mu, this is bad news!" Ye Chong moaned weakly. The thought of Shang only made his headache worse. (To be continued. If you want to know what happened next, please go to WWW. CMFU. com. More chapters. Support the author. Support legal reading!)
