He was an orphan who lost both his parents and his younger sister. He was a sincere and kind young man who liked to help his neighbors and help old ladies cross the road. He was a genius in mechanical engineering. He was an auditing student who had set many records in Ewha University. He was a small character who was sincere to others and honest to himself. He was … a capable, virtuous, and responsible youth.
However, he was also a youth who grew up in the darkness of the mines and underground tunnels. He was a fugitive from the Federation who possessed a mysterious power within his body. Sometimes, even he himself forgot that many years ago, he was already a silent youth who dared to kill.
On that deep and weeping night, the ten-year-old Xu Le used the tip of an abandoned mechanical suit's elbow hydraulic pipe he found in the junkyard to kill a Hexi Prefecture mafia boss.
In the underground parking lot filled with the stench of blood and an oppressive atmosphere, the not yet 20 year old Xu Le leapt up from the ground like a leopard. Like a streak of black smoke, he rushed to the bottom of the military mecha. Without thinking, his entire body trembled as he viciously kicked that conspicuous hydraulic pipe that deserved to be kicked.
In his life, perhaps he really did have a lot of affinity with this type of hydraulic pipe. Every time, he would be able to witness his most fearful, most ruthless, and most ruthless moments.
…
…
No matter how the Federation's scientists used their imaginations, for such a large mechanical body like a mecha, the most critical linkage of the control system and structural system was still the same as it had been countless years ago, all of them the most primitive type of hydraulic system. There had been scientists who had proposed other designs before, but the cold and merciless battlefield experience had long since proven that only the most primitive type was the most reliable and sturdy.
The mechanical legs of the M52 mecha had at least seven hydraulic pipes of different thicknesses and different uses. Most of them were hidden under the armor, some deep within the alloy structure, while the exposed hydraulic pipe was all formed from alloy in one go. It was thicker than a human's thigh, strong enough to withstand concentrated fire, so the designers had never thought of installing any anti-strike device on this hydraulic pipe.
This was because a monster like the Mechanic Feng Yu should not exist in this world.
Xu Le's body trembled violently. The enormous power in his body instantly passed through the countless pathways in his body and all of it was delivered to his thighs, his joints, and his feet … The foot that carried with it a fierce whistling sound ruthlessly kicked the cold and sturdy alloy hydraulic pipe, making a loud muffled sound!
…
…
The moment the pair of leather boots came into contact with the hydraulic pipe, they began to deform and tear apart. In a very short period of time, they bloomed into countless pieces, fluttering and struggling around Xu Le's feet like butterflies, but they did not have time to fly away.
The power that came from behind his waist passed from the soles of his feet to the hydraulic pipe. The metallic luster of the hydraulic pipe dimmed a little, and then it trembled slightly … and then it returned to normal. The cold metal didn't have the slightest ripple.
The hydraulic pipe did not break, and it did not collapse like the mecha that had been hit by Feng Yu in the outskirts of Hexi province a year ago, bathed in oil like a waterfall and collapsed. That black mecha did not move at all. It coldly aimed at the black car that was about to escape from the underground parking lot and fired its main cannon!
In that instant, Xu Le felt as if his foot had kicked a metal plate — no, he had kicked an iron pillar that had taken root in the ground. A wave of pain that was enough to make a person faint traveled from the soles of his feet to his ankles, then to his knees, and finally to the base of his thighs!
He could even feel countless cracks beginning to extend from his toes. Countless muscle fibers began to tear, and even his leg bones began to crack!
An unarmed and defenseless human using his own flesh and blood to launch an attack against a massive metal mecha — this was a crazy move. Furthermore, the incomparably large recoil from that mecha's metal body further proved that this kind of challenge was too tragic to be effective.
Xu Le was sent flying by the recoil. The power he had been using to control his body had long been reduced to nothingness by the mecha's recoil. His body flew through the air like a kite with a broken string.
Before the immense pain could fully occupy his mind, his leg bones were already completely shattered, hanging limply in the air. He felt as if all his bones had been shattered, and a sweet feeling began to accumulate in his chest and abdomen …
Xu Le, who had been sent flying, danced in the air, his eyes watching the black mecha in front of him from the corner of his eye. He knew that he was not Uncle Feng Yu, and did not have the ability to subdue a mecha single-handedly. He himself also did not have such extravagant hopes, so he was not disappointed, much less despairing. Instead, an incomparable flame of elation burned in his eyes, because he knew … this kick had definitely been effective. It was just that where the effect was, no one knew!
The hydraulic tube by the black mecha's mechanical leg only trembled slightly under his foot, then returned to normal. However, in a place that neither the naked eye nor the mecha's monitoring system could detect, within the absolutely sealed fluid flowing within the tube, between the inductive component circuits that the mecha's control system relied on, a tremor began to spread!
It was just like the pain and bone fractures that were spreading through Xu Le's body at this moment.
That tremor was very similar to Xu Le's earlier tremors.
…
…
Xu Le ended his journey of being sent flying. His head tilted back, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood as he landed heavily on the ground.
At the same time he landed, the black mecha had also finished firing its main cannon.
There was a saying in the Federation — if you deviated one centimetre from the correct direction at the beginning of your journey, by the time you finished your journey, you would find yourself one thousand kilometres away from your destination.
Xu Le's foot kicked the hydraulic tube, transmitting all the tremors in his body to it, causing the sealed fluid within the hydraulic tube to distort slightly. This was an error that the mecha's program would never allow, but this error happened in that instant. A vibration of about 0.01 millimetres was transmitted into the body of the massive mecha along with the ripples of the fluid. It gradually spread, passing through those electrical components and circuits, passing through those electrical and data channels, spreading … and was gradually magnified.
In that instant, the right half of the black M52 mecha's body began to tremble slightly to an extent that was not visible to the naked eye.
By the time the vibration of 0.01 millimetres reached the right mechanical arm of the black mecha, it had already become an error of one millimetre.
…
…
A loud boom rang out. The main cannon of the military mecha had already exceeded the concept of normal speed. A vortex suddenly appeared in the air within the underground car park, and right in the middle of the vortex was an incomparably empty space … an empty space!
Right in the path of the main cannon's aim, three holes the size of basketballs appeared almost simultaneously on the three thick concrete walls of the underground car park. The three holes were cut neatly in a straight line, and on the other side of the holes was the black car that was currently speeding away!
However, due to the error of less than a millimetre, this terrifying blast brushed past the roof of the black car and directly pierced through two more concrete walls, landing somewhere unknown — an instant later, a terrifying explosion rang out from a room in the gymnasium's basement, and the entire ground began to shake!
Directly piercing through five concrete walls and finally triggering such a violent explosion — the power of the military M52 mecha's main cannon was truly too shocking. It was hard to imagine — if this blast had landed directly on the black car, Tai Zhiyuan and Butler Jin in the car would have died a horrible death.
…
…
Xu Le, who had landed in a pool of blood on the concrete floor, was once again bounced up from the ground by this blast. There was not a single part of his body that did not ache. However, his eyes, reddened by the blood, watched as the black car in the distance finally left the underground car park. He could not help but break into a grin, revealing his white teeth amidst the smoke as he laughed out loud. At the same time, his right hand found a cold gun by the side of the half-broken corpse beside him.
That huge black mecha clearly did not expect its main cannon attack to actually miss its target. Although the pilot in the mecha's cockpit had felt a trace of surprise when that human had kicked the mecha in a frenzy earlier, his strong nerve control, logical judgment, and the instinct of a soldier to obey orders allowed him to completely ignore the kick that the lunatic had launched with his frail body. He simply aimed at the car and fired the main cannon.
At this time, the pilot in the M52 mecha finally noticed that the fellow in the green military trench coat lying under the mecha's feet seemed to be a little unusual. However, he did not have the time to find out what was so unusual about this fellow's body. Just as the black car disappeared from the underground car park, this mecha warrior used his communicator to issue orders to the soldiers accompanying him. At the same time, his hands moved like the wind as he entered 17 data commands on the touch-sensitive holographic screen.
Amidst the loud roar of the motor, this huge mecha began to move abruptly. Like an ice skater relying on the caterpillar equipment on its alloy legs, it started to move rapidly in the cramped underground car park. In an instant, it increased its speed. The black metal mecha glided beautifully forward as it chased after the human towards the exit of the underground car park, leaving behind only the piercing sound of air vibrations …
The black M52 mecha chased after the human so resolutely, so decisively, so coldly. It did not even spare a glance at Xu Le, who had piqued its interest immensely. Xu Le, who had used a human's body to successfully cause his main cannon to miss.
Other than the special-class ace pilots of the Federal military, who else could make such swift reactions and control so beautifully?
…
…
The huge and terrifying black mecha chased after the car Tai Zhiyuan was in. Accompanied by the sound of dust and air vibrations, it disappeared from the exit. At this moment, Xu Le was in a state of shock, but he could not worry about Tai Zhiyuan's survival at all. This was because right now, he could only worry about his own survival.
In the quiet underground parking lot, the smell of burnt flesh and blood filled the air. The surrounding concrete walls that had been flattened by the mecha's firepower still continued to fall with pieces of concrete and steel. There were five shocking round bullet holes in the concrete wall that separated the parking lot. Smoke was rising from them.
The lights in the car park had all been extinguished long ago. This was because the automatic fire extinguishing system in response to explosions and high temperatures kept spraying water as if it was raining. This scene was extremely similar to that rainy night, that rainy night when Xu Le had killed for the first time.
