The siege in the valley had begun. Boss Feng Yu, smoking a cigarette in his mouth, had shuddered and transformed into a prehistoric monster to throw rocks and attack. Then, he had transformed into a charming mechanic to get close to the mecha and successfully neutralize the defensive capabilities of an M52. Then, he had seized control of the mecha and violently shaken the ace mecha of the Federation's special forces team into a flustered firebird with a fiery tail in the air. Finally, he had transformed into a demonic black shadow amidst the shrapnel that filled the sky … one scene after another fell into the eyes of Xu Le.
He had been standing at the top of a large tree on that hill in the distance, his hands tightly gripping the branches beside him to maintain his balance. He watched everything unfold in the distance with incomparable emotion. Although he was far away, he still felt shaken to his core. His body had been trembling nonstop, causing the birds on the tree to fly away one after another into the twilight.
Of course, this was not a strange ability he had learned to call himself Uncle — it was an instinctive fear and agitation. He had thought that Uncle Boss would be killed by the military in an instant. He had even thought that Uncle Boss had grown tired of his life as a fugitive and had chosen a quick method to end his own life. However, he had not expected that the following development of the plot would be so sudden and unexpected. Apart from making him sweat profusely, he was so nervous that he wanted to vomit.
In particular, the powerful strength that had erupted from the boss's trembling legs and trembling body, as well as his valiant performance after he had burrowed into the mecha at the end — it was as if he had given Xu Le, who had been watching the battle from afar, an opportunity to learn, opening a completely different window.
In this world, probably only Xu Le knew what those tremors were about. The youth stared in shock at the valley, thinking to himself that the boss had not practiced or performed in these four years. He was probably too lazy to practice, but even so, he was still strong enough to fight head-on with the mecha … what kind of absurd life and person was this?!
Whether it was in novels or movies, Xu Le had never seen such a powerful figure. When he thought of how this figure had been by his side for four years, he suddenly felt at a loss. He vaguely felt that the things his boss had taught him might lead him to a completely different path in life.
However, Xu Le still couldn't imagine himself becoming an inhuman like the boss in the future. That was too inconceivable. The window was open, but the grassland outside was still vast and boundless. The road was in front of him, but he didn't know where it ended. The youth just stared blankly at the movement and silence. He didn't have any ambition, and he didn't even have the extravagant hope of becoming such a strong person. This was because he knew that his current ability was at least a few dozen light years away from the realm displayed by the boss in the valley.
But no matter what, Xu Le watched as the black mecha the boss was in was about to break out of the encirclement and escape the encirclement of the Federal military. His mood was incredibly relaxed and happy. The base of his thigh no longer twitched. He prepared to sneak down the tree and find a quiet place to carry out the mission his boss had given him. He would hide under the watchful eyes of the Federation and never come out again.
Just as everything was developing in a good direction, he reflexively turned his head and saw that beam of light. That beam of light that had shot straight down from the greyish-red sky, smashing viciously into the valley.
At this time, it was already late in the evening. Half of the night sky was already black and grey. Occasionally, a few small stars would flash with a hazy light. However, in the night sky above the valley, there was not a single trace of a star. It was only a stretch of emptiness. And in this emptiness, suddenly and silently, without warning, a beam of light descended!
Xu Le watched this scene with wide eyes and slack jaws. His feet slipped and he almost fell off the tree. He could only hold on to the tree branch with all his might. However, the loud noise and explosion that followed shook the entire Hexi Region's verdant mountains and fields. Naturally, he was shaken down from the tree as well.
…
…
The beam of light that was about one meter in diameter was extremely pure white. However, it did not have the holy aura described in religious books. Instead, it was full of a destructive and powerful aura. Just like that, in a situation where no one in the valley had expected it, it directly struck the black M52 mecha that was fleeing halfway up the mountain.
That black mecha, which had appeared to be at ease despite being besieged, was like a pitiful and lowly insect under this beam of light. It couldn't make any evasive movements at all and faced it head-on. The super alloy armor was instantly torn apart under the white beam of light. Countless circuit chip components were destroyed by the tremendous energy like fish scales and shot in all directions!
…
…
No one could survive this kind of attack that came from outer space. However, the power of the beam of light still did not end there. When it entered the earth's crust, it triggered a violent explosion. Within a 500 meter radius of the black mecha, the entire ground was as fragile as the surface of a baked biscuit. It cracked open, trembled, twisted, and rippled in all directions!
After a loud boom, the Donglin garrison special forces in the bushes near the mountainside were shaken high into the air. Most of them were shaken to death. Meanwhile, the 4th Military Region's special mecha team that was slightly further away also could not withstand such a powerful force. They all fell to the ground one after another. Amidst the powerful turbulence of the electromagnetic waves, they were momentarily unable to move.
The birds and beasts that roamed freely in the valley cried out in agony. Who knew how many trees collapsed. Further away on the hill, the branch in Xu Le's hand was also snapped in half. His body was like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily into the ground. It took him a long, long time before he managed to get up.
He stared dumbfoundedly at the valley. Although he could not see anything else, he seemed to have seen his boss's tragic death. He no longer had any hope of surviving, because under the attack of the most advanced weapons of the Federation civilization, who could still survive? At this moment, Xu Le understood some things. At least, he understood what his boss had said earlier in the mine. "You want to know what the explosion was all about? Perhaps you'll be able to see it in a moment. "
Yes, Xu Le had seen the beam of light, had seen the explosion. That was why he understood. The explosion in the armory more than ten years ago was most likely a similar scene. However, the armory back then was full of ammunition, which was why the scale of the explosion was so much larger.
As expected, his boss had been wronged. This knowledge might have made Xu Le's pitiful sense of justice feel a little better, but it could not erase the incomparably heavy expression of pain on his face. He rubbed his eyes. Taking advantage of the fact that the army in the valley was also in a state of panic, he forced his tired body to run down the hill into the darkness.
The energy of the device had been charged again. The youth pressed the button, letting the faint blue light envelop him. Then, he began to flee. He told himself that he had to live. He had to live well. He had to live for his boss and his own share.
…
…
When the youth Xu Le embarked on his journey of escape, in space 600 kilometers away from the surface of the Donglin Region, the very beautiful West Woods commercial spaceship that glowed with a silver light all over began to adjust its posture again.
"Attack complete." The captain of the spaceship looked at the small black dot after the explosion on the screen. After a moment of silence, he said, "Return to 1200 kilometers orbit."
