The air supremacy near Ze Qiu spaceport was still being contested, but when he received the signal from the Maple Forest Alliance base in the northern hemisphere, the blonde Night Wolf fleet commander Fu Ding did not hesitate to order ten high-speed omni-domain cruising fighter jets to speed towards the northeast. He did not care about the loss of ground attack power at all.
The target of the fighter jets was a black mecha racing through the wilderness. This mecha was the source of the Empire military's operation this time.
In the dimly lit cockpit, the smell of heavy oxygen released by the life support system was very clear. Xu Le's left hand gripped the control stick tightly while the fingers of his right hand quickly swept across the touch screen. In an instant, he entered 14 commands to control the black MX to perform one dangerous yet beautiful standard evasive maneuver after another amidst the smoke and rain of bullets.
The Empire's fighter jets in the night sky above his head were reflected in his eyes through the mecha's SCC system and large radius high-sensitivity radar in the helmet. When they had brushed past the northern area of Ze Qiu spaceport earlier, these Empire's fighter jets had followed them and had been unable to shake them off. This fact made him very clear that the Empire's orbit changing satellites were still watching him from outer space.
The black box was fixed to the back of the cockpit, while Jian Shui'er sat quietly beside him. It was not designed to be a two-person mecha, so the cockpit was slightly cramped. However, being chased by the Empire's fighter jets the entire way, the two of them were not in the mood to experience the stuffiness and cramping of the cockpit.
Xu Le was not nervous at all. He only felt that it was a little troublesome. The fighter jets in the sky did not carry electromagnetic beam bombs, so it was basically impossible for them to hurt the extremely mobile MX. However, being chased like this by the enemy made him feel as if someone was holding a gleaming dagger behind him, ready to stab him at any moment. It made him feel unusually anxious.
A sharp alarm came from the radar. Xu Le's fingers entered commands as fast as lightning. With a push of the control stick with his left hand, the heavy black mecha was like an extremely nimble toy under his control. On the simple dirt path that was approaching the mountain, the mecha's thick mechanical legs suddenly sprang up and swept diagonally to the right, breaking a thin tree in half.
With a whoosh, a heat sensor rocket fell from the sky. Just as the black MX mecha dove into the forest, it struck the already broken thin tree. Amidst the explosion, the mountain rocks cracked, and soil poured down in torrents.
"Very troublesome." Xu Le thought silently in his heart. However, he still didn't want to use the simulation system. It wasn't because Jian Shui'er was sitting right beside him. It was because the military needed his mecha to be the bait. Then, in this escape plan, they couldn't just aim to escape to Luoqiu Airport. The real danger was hidden in the simulation of this battle.
Right at this moment, a sharp whistle rang out in the skies. A silver-white shadow rushed out from the faint clouds in the skies to the west, flying past the black mecha's head and towards the rear at high speed. The mecha's friend or foe identification system instantly determined that this was a fighter from the Federation.
The black MX mech advanced at high speed without turning back. The radar transmitted the scene behind it to the holographic screen of the cockpit.
Several blinding lights flashed across the night sky. It should be the large-caliber cannons firing. The Federation's fighter jet that came to support deftly lifted its angle in the air and instantly shot down the Empire's fighter jet that had been following behind Xu Le the whole time.
On the holographic screen, the Empire fighter fell to the ground with green smoke billowing out of it. The Federation fighter flapped its wings slightly in greeting to the mecha on the ground.
A grateful smile appeared on Xu Le's face. His finger tapped the touch screen.
The black mecha that was running at high speed gave a thumbs-up to the night sky where the aerial battle had just occurred.
However, the next moment, in the night sky behind the mecha, a few more Empire mecha joined the fray. Although the Federation mecha that had come to provide support valiantly destroyed one of the Empire mecha, it was ultimately outnumbered and turned into a firework in the night sky.
The smile on Xu Le's face instantly disappeared. He narrowed his eyes and continued to operate in silence.
…
…
Like the Empire fleet commander, the air combat forces of the Federation Zeqiu spaceport, although they were also in the midst of a dangerous offensive and defensive battle, still sent out more than ten fighters to cover the black mecha's escape. Both sides knew very well who was inside this black mecha and what its significance was.
With the valiant cover of the Federation fighters, the black MX mech finally shook off the pursuit and harassment of the Empire from the air. It turned into a black stream of fire, passing through the primeval forest and stepping over the black plains, heading towards the spaceport in the distance at high speed.
There was a simple military road in the middle of the plains. The black mecha broke out of the forest and sprinted across the grass. The moment its heavy body landed on the surface of the road, it began to change its state. The thick alloy mechanical legs flipped over and closed together with the sound of hydraulic compression and motors. The side armor automatically pushed out a caterpillar mechanism, and the spherical joints turned into power linkage equipment …
A loud grinding sound rang out on the road. The black mecha instantly entered full speed movement mode. The caterpillar tracks rotated at high speed under the power of the powerful engine, tearing apart the shallow layer of hard concrete on the surface of the road. It carried with it a cloud of dust as it moved forward into the night.
The black mecha's mode changes were all completed at high speed, without the slightest hint of deceleration. There was a palpitating sense of simplicity and beauty in its movements.
The lighting in the cockpit was dim. Xu Le operated in silence, his fingers continuously entering commands and activating buttons. Although each of his actions did not appear to be fast, when put together, there was a fairly clear sense of rhythm. No matter how difficult the operation was, he showed no signs of panic.
Jian Shui'er checked the high-strength laces on her body, using a smile to hide the nervousness in her heart. She reflexively turned to look at him. The two of them were sitting very close to each other. Although the lighting in the cockpit was dim, she could clearly see this man's thick, knife-like eyebrows and that pair of permanently narrowed eyes when she turned her head.
"The Empire's offensive is fierce. The third line of defense is having a hard time holding on. But you don't have to worry. As long as the fighters behind us can't catch up, at least on this road to Luo Qiu, our mecha will be safe. "
Xu Le took off his helmet and calmed the slight feeling in his heart. He said in a low voice, "Both the Empire and the Federation have made the wrong judgment. If we go full speed ahead, I can guarantee that before the Empire breaks into this area, we will be able to send you to Luo Qiu Spaceport."
He was the designer of the MX. He knew the functions of this black mecha better than the staff officers of the Federation's Department of Defense. Especially after discovering the small note under the right touch screen, he had infinite confidence in this black MX.
"But you and I both know that our mecha is bait. So, I'm sorry. I can't go full speed ahead. You will have to continue taking risks with me."
The Federal Central Computer, which was that old thing, was connected directly to Xu Le's brain. He could even know everything that was happening on this planet faster than the Federation's frontline command. Although he couldn't completely understand the entire battle situation on this planet, he could at least calculate some of the problems.
"At least we don't have to worry about anything now." He pointed at the map on the screen and explained to Jian Shui'er, "We will arrive at the front line of Huangshanling Lonely Ridge in about four hours. In these four hours, we will be safe."
"Okay."
Jian Shui'er nodded. She was very obedient and didn't say anything. She didn't want to disturb his operation.
Ever since she had received the military's request, this national girl knew that her frontline concert tour would definitely be a journey filled with unknown dangers. Right now, she was running with Xu Le alone on the road of escape. Naturally, she was nervous. But for some reason, seeing Xu Le's silent and precise operation, her hard-to-suppress nervousness gradually calmed down.
In order to conserve energy, after entering full speed mode, Xu Le had shut down some unnecessary functions of the mecha's life support system. The temperature in the cockpit was gradually rising, and the dim lighting seemed to contain an endless sense of dryness.
"The straps can be undone. We will be safe for more than three hours. You can trust in my judgment." The sweat on his body had soaked his clothes. Xu Le felt a little uncomfortable, especially with the girl's body pressed tightly against him. The feeling was slightly awkward.
Jian Shui'er grunted and obediently undid the straps. She didn't ask where his confidence in her safety came from. She took off the black summer jacket that Xu Le had draped over her. Raising her arm, she wiped the sweat off her face. Because of the heat, her cheeks were flushed red.
The cockpit fell silent once more. Only the low rumble of the mecha's twin engines and the occasional rise and fall of the tracks against the ground could be heard.
"Say something." Xu Le cautiously observed the darkness around them through the automatic monitoring system. "The road is still long."
Jian Shui'er smiled somewhat helplessly. She cupped her burning face with both hands and gently pulled back her legs. That military uniform skirt of hers was pushed up by this movement, revealing the girl's tight, smooth thighs.
"I'm a little nervous." The girl lowered her head and said, "I don't know what to say. This is the first time I've seen a real battlefield, and seen dead people. "
"I'm very nervous too." Xu Le pressed a button, allowing the MX mecha to enter a semi-automatic state. With some difficulty, he turned around and took out that black box. Lowering his head, he opened it and said, "Although I've seen many dead people before, this is also my first time on a battlefield."
In the process of taking out the box, his body inevitably rubbed against Jian Shui'er's body. That clear sliver of softness made him feel slightly flustered. If it had been a normal member of the opposite sex, perhaps he would have been able to keep his mind clear, but this was Jian Shui'er. She had been his dream lover since he was young. Moreover, at the concert earlier, he had even seen such a playful and sexy side of her.
Jian Shui'er didn't seem to notice these problems. Fanning herself lightly with her small hands, she said in reminiscence, "I've sat in a mecha before. That was a few years ago. When Li Feng was first allowed to operate a mecha, he took me in it once."
She glanced at Xu Le's well-defined profile, and a trace of a warm smile flashed through her bright, limpid eyes. "But his piloting was very shaky. It wasn't as comfortable as yours."
"MX's performance is much better." Xu Le was silent for a moment before saying, "And this isn't a river of cars."
