Xu Le was dead. The high and mighty families in the Federation, as well as the politicians who had dirty water flowing between their fingers, had had an easy year. Although the young Federation officer did not seem to be eye-catching, and he did not seem to have any power that could shake the world, the saber light on the Tiger Mountain Road, the axe marks in the research institute, the gunshots in the foundation building, and the strong straight footprints and bullet holes on the beach of other manors made the big shots, who were used to setting the rules of the world with wine parties, lunches, and insider trading, discover in a cold voice that —
Xu Le was a person who did not walk the normal path and had the strength to step on the path set by the world into chaos. He had an extreme view of good and evil that did not conform to the temperament of the people of this universe. He was a horrible and abominable person who should have died a long time ago but had not died.
Fortunately, Xu Le, who should have died a long time ago, finally died in the hands of the people of the Empire because of his revenge. The big shots of the Federation lamented in front of others, as sad as the death of their black-haired nephew, but when they were silent, they could not help but smile with fragrant tea in their hands, rejoicing that the stone that had been hanging above their heads all the time, waiting for them to make the slightest move, had finally disappeared.
Similarly, many people missed the time when Xu Le existed and regretted his passing, such as the Federation soldiers who fought bloody battles on the frontlines, the ordinary people whose relatives and friends were innocently killed by conspiracies, the revolutionary young women in the parliament mountain, the unmarried mothers in the courtyard of the west mountain, the rogue princes who quietly scattered blue light in their pockets, the officials and reporters who still had some light in their hearts, and many, many, many more.
"You can miss him, you can miss him, but this kind of miss and miss cannot become a heavy burden that makes life heavy."
The Nan Xiang family, the most low-key of the seven families, had an equally low-key and quiet manor in the middle of a blue lake deep in the mountains. This low-key was because no one knew about it deep in the mountains, but not because of the luxurious furnishings of the manor itself. Just like the madam who stood quietly by the window of the bedroom on the second floor, wearing expensive clothes, but indifferently stood in front of the window and watched the smoke-like light rain in the manor. A few decades ago, Cao Jiaren, the outstanding female student from the First Military Academy's Command Department, had been the Southern Prime Minister's wife for many years, but she was still as indifferent as ever.
She turned back to look at her tired daughter and said softly, "It's rare for you to come back from S2 for a break. You should have a good rest, but I feel that there's something I have to tell you because it's related to happiness, true happiness."
The tedious work of the Four Prefectures Reconstruction Foundation caused Nan Xiangmei's beautiful face to have a trace of inexplicable melancholy. Listening to her mother's serious words, she gently pursed her lips and slightly lowered her head to remain silent.
"No matter how big the conflict between you and your family is, your mother will always stand by your side, right?" Mrs. Nan said with a smile, "I have never objected to your relationship with Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le. I even secretly encouraged you to show more courage."
"He was already a colonel in the end." Nan Xiangmei raised her head and looked at her mother with a pout. It was rare for her to show a trace of naivety this year.
"Well, it's Colonel Xu Le." Mrs. Nan Xiangmei walked over and gently stroked her daughter's hair. Her smile gradually faded and she said seriously, "But now he's dead. I don't want you to be depressed for the rest of your life because of this matter."
"I'm not, mother." Nan Xiangmei seriously retorted.
"No, listen to me. In a woman's life, the most important thing is peace." Mrs. Nan Xiangmei said with love and pity, "I'm not asking you to find a new love, I just want you to cheer up … Remember, really cheer up. Not like you have been doing this year, numbing yourself with overloaded work to force yourself not to think about him, but to truly have a happy and regretless life. "
Nan Xiangmei's long eyelashes fluttered slightly and she said softly, "Mother, what is true happiness? Grandfather let you marry father, are you really happy these years? Uncle Tian has never married in his life, have you ever regretted it? "
Mrs. Nan Xiangmei quietly thought for a long time and said with a smile, "Thinking about it carefully, there's nothing to regret. Your Uncle Tian is a very good man, but he won't necessarily be a good husband or a good father."
…
…
Sunset State Latitude Seventeenth Road, Xilin, on a black street surrounded by green trees, a fleet of cars was roaring along. Occasionally, the high-speed wheels would pick up a piece of broken leaf and toss it high into the air. Then, it would be hit by the following cars and roll over again.
The motorcade of four expensive black cars and sixteen dark green bulletproof military vehicles was amazing and very rare. However, the residents of the West Woods who stood on both sides of the street didn't have the slightest shock on their faces, because … they saw this scene every day and knew that the little princess of the West Woods was going to school again.
With curiosity and desire to spy, the residents craned their necks to look at the center of the street, trying to see which car the little princess was in through the film glass, but it was in vain. Suddenly, someone heard an impressive angry voice of a man coming from one of the expensive black cars.
"Who the hell said I can't be a good father? Give me the exercise book, I want to take a look again! "
Mr. Tian had become fatter than before. His angry or embarrassed eyes had become two slits on his chubby face. He took the electronic exercise book from the little hands and looked at it for a long time with a frown. In the end, it turned into a sigh. "This … When I was in the First Academy, I was specially allowed to not study advanced mathematics … Yanhua, don't laugh, this is a privilege that only the genius of mecha warfare can enjoy!"
Zhong Yanhua didn't laugh, her clear eyes didn't curve into a cute pair of eyes. Her neatly cut short black hair swayed slightly with the movement of the car, like two pieces of watermelon skin.
The little girl silently looked at the opposite side, silently took back the electronic exercise book, and silently turned her head to look at the scenery of the West Woods outside the window. She didn't say a word.
The Ancient Bell was attacked, and her parents were buried in that sad and beautiful cosmic fireworks. Then, Xu Le took revenge on a single ship and disappeared at the other end of the universe. On the day she found out about this bad news, the little girl told Mr. Tian that from now on, she had to study hard and learn how to take care of herself …
From the moment she said this, Zhong Yanhua started to live like this. She woke up on time, ate her meals, washed up, and trained according to the daily schedule recommended by life experts. She started to practice her survival skills according to the Federal military's Special Warfare Survival Manual. She started to pick up the special knife of the West Woods Special Warfare Brigade to learn … But until now, only two cockroaches had died under the little girl's knife.
The little girl's temperament became a little irritable, and her neat watermelon skin like hair was often twisted into an ugly mess by her small scissors. Besides that, she became a little quiet that didn't match her age. Like now, she often looked at the outside environment silently and didn't say a word.
Fatty Tian looked at the side of the little girl's face by the window. Although he was used to her silence, he couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.
The imposing motorcade stopped at the entrance of the school. The swift and fierce Xilin soldiers had long since taken control of all positions. Little friend Zhong Huoyan pushed open the car door and walked down, politely bowing slightly to Fatty Tian who was in the car.
Fatty Tian waved his hand and said as gently as possible, "Go, study hard."
He thought that as usual, he wouldn't get an answer from Zhong Yanhua, but he didn't expect that the situation was a little different today. The little girl stood by the car and was silent for a moment. The cool morning breeze blew the hair on her cheeks to below her earlobes. Then, she turned around and looked into the car and said very seriously,
"Uncle Tian, being a genius doesn't mean that you don't know advanced mathematics. I think Brother Xu Le must be very good at mathematics."
…
…
After hearing this, Mr. Tian was stunned for a long time and muttered a few words in a low voice. Then, he noticed a familiar black car parked on the street opposite the school gate. The black car didn't have any logo, but that was the most obvious sign.
"I have to admit that taking care of a child is much more difficult than fighting a war." Big Stick Tian walked to the side of the black car and looked at the thin young man behind the slowly lowered window. He shrugged and said, "Xu Le is the almighty one."
"Yes, he also knows where the best porridge and scallion pancakes are." Hearing the name of his old friend, Tai Zhiyuan, who was in the car, smiled and said with a trace of longing, "I found a porridge shop a few days ago. The taste is not bad, so I'll treat you to breakfast today."
The young master of the Tai family and Mr. Tian, the representative of the old house on Weier Road, had breakfast together. Of course, it wasn't as simple as reminiscing about the past in the library.
For some reason that even he couldn't understand, after the explosion of the Ancient Bell, Tai Zhiyuan adjusted his life plan and came to the West Woods to open a law firm called Xizhou Law Firm. Xizhou Law Firm now hired the son of the Chief Justice of the Federation, He Ying, as its chief legal counsel. They were fighting a family property lawsuit that made the whole Federation suffer.
The current situation in the West Woods was a bit tense. Under the strong suppression of Mr. Tian and Li Feng, the despicable relatives of the Zhong family didn't dare to do anything too outrageous. Zhong Ziqi, who was elected as the heir of the family, needed the support of the Federation government and the other families more than ever. It was also because of this rare opportunity that the big shots of the capital ring finally reached into the West Woods …
Other than the three mechanics around the capital of the Sunset State, the Federation government and the Department of Defense were gradually taking control of the entire West Woods military region. This situation seemed to be unstoppable. Zhong Ziqi and the greedy elders in the family naturally couldn't see the hidden danger behind this trend. However, they were already riding on the dead Mad Tiger, so how could they stop?
"The circuit courts have been all over. Unless we go to the Supreme Court, no one dares to make a decision on this case." Tai Zhiyuan gently stirred the vegetable porridge in his bowl and said with a smile, "Of course, even if these courts dare to make a decision, neither side will admit it. In the end, we will still have to go to the Supreme Court."
An image of an old man with a face full of wrinkles appeared in Mr. Tian's mind. He thought that only the Chief Justice, who even the God of War couldn't do anything about, had the courage to end the chaos in the West Woods. He frowned and said, "The problem is that the lawyers over there … and the despicable Ministry of Justice have been using those legal means to prevent this case from going to the Supreme Court. The most disgusting thing is that bunch of bastards in the Management Committee. They actually pushed for an amendment on Parliament Hill, saying that in order to save the Federation's legal costs, secondary civil cases like inheritance rights can't go to the Supreme Court. "
"F * ck! When the Federation TV station and the Children's Rights Fund fought that Jian Shui'er case in the Supreme Court, those damn senators just watched the show and didn't say anything! "
Tai Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at the angry Fatty Tian. He sighed and said, "There's good news. Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled that this amendment is unconstitutional. According to the procedure, my law firm will be able to send this case to Justice He Ying in 20 days at most."
Mr. Tian laughed, then immediately froze and asked, "Don't tell me it's bad news?"
"Yes." Tai Zhiyuan's expression was a little strange, but it wasn't heavy. Instead, it had a slight trace of mockery. "I have a falling out with my family."
Stick Tian's expression suddenly became serious. He knew that this bad news was definitely not a simple story of a young master falling out with his family. It represented that after a year of silence, the madam of Mochou's Back Mountain finally decided to show her true attitude.
"The commander is dead. Everyone wants to take a bite out of the West Woods. Now it seems that the lady has been silent for a year because of you, but she won't be silent forever." Mr. Tian's smile was a little bleak. He whispered, "What a magnificent and grand robbery."
…
…
In the asteroid belt behind the gravitational field of the L9 galaxy of the Imperium in the Left Sky Space Zone, there was a sailing route that had never appeared on the official star map of the Imperium. Countless audacious smugglers, countless local nobles and officers who stole the wealth of the Imperium to enrich their personal pockets, and countless ruthless and unpredictable pirates were driving their own spaceships in the secret sailing route, playing the dangerous but highly exciting bloody money games.
For the Red Beard Pirates, they had always held the initiative in this game for more than a decade. More than a dozen high-speed pirate ships with stacked engines were like more than a dozen cruel and hungry sharks, swimming in the shadows of the channel. When they encountered delicious and weak targets, they would reveal their mouths full of sharp white teeth and rush out to rob everything they could.
However, today, their pirate ships with powerful engines and amazing speed were the targets of robbery.
"Why! Why! Why! Why haven't we gotten rid of it yet! "
A pirate with a red beard looked at the spaceship on the screen that seemed to be made of broken metal. He held his head with both hands and let out a shrill and desperate cry.
At this moment, he, who was famous for his cold-blooded and cruel smuggling channel, looked more like a crazy and neurotic philosopher. After searching for the meaning of life without any results, he let out a cry of despair to the sky. The next moment, he would cut off his own ears.
Because of the war between the Federation and the Empire, the resources of the L9 star system suddenly became scarce, and the price of all kinds of black market goods soared. Because they could not resist this charming temptation, the Red Beard Pirates knew that the Empire's fleet had now tightly sealed the exits of the smuggling channel, but they still quietly entered this channel, preparing to secretly eat up those bold smuggling fleets.
Unexpectedly, their pirate ships were not blown to pieces by the Empire's official fleet, but they were targeted by a spaceship full of broken metal components that came out of nowhere. Moreover, it was targeted for half a month. The pirate fleet that rampaged the smuggling channel at high speed was completely unable to get rid of this broken spaceship. As for the air battle … His Majesty the Emperor, in the first three minutes, two-thirds of the entire Red Beard Pirates' spaceships were smashed into scrap metal floating in space by that broken spaceship!
Red Beard had never seen such a fast spaceship in his life. He had never seen such a sturdy spaceship, and he had never seen such a fearless captain. A large hole had clearly appeared in the abdomen of that broken spaceship, revealing the cabin equipment inside. How could the people inside still be alive and dare to ram into his ship without regard for their own lives?!
Looking at the screen getting closer and clearer, the bow of the spaceship full of broken metal components was like a deformed metal monster. Red Beard's pupils shrank smaller and smaller. Suddenly, his face turned red and he roared, "Full engine forward! Since we can't escape, we'll ram into it! I don't believe that the people in that spaceship are really not afraid of death! "
At this moment, the pirate leader responsible for technical monitoring beside him said in a trembling voice, "Boss, please don't. I always feel that … this ship is a little strange. Do you remember the ship mentioned after the Namutso Pirates were annihilated last time?"
When Red Beard heard this, he could not help but think of the rumor. The Namutso Pirates, whose strength was definitely not below Red Beard's, suddenly disappeared three months ago. Later, a pirate who luckily survived in an escape capsule trembled all over and told what had happened to them, but no pirate group believed him. They all felt that the pirate must have been scared out of his wits.
"Ghost ship?"
Red Beard stared at the broken metal spaceship that was still suspended tens of thousands of kilometers away on the screen. It was motionless as if there was no life in it. Red Beard's flushed face suddenly turned extremely pale, and he said three words in a trembling voice.
At this moment, the remote communication system on the pirate ship turned on without anyone touching it. A cold mechanical voice that seemed to have no rhythm and emotional fluctuations suddenly sounded in the hall. The frightened pirates were so frightened by this voice that their legs went soft and they fell to the ground.
"Good morning everyone. Hello everyone. This is the Old Butler spaceship. Thank you very much for stopping by. "The cold mechanical voice resounded throughout the hall." Please pay attention. The robbery will begin now. "
"I don't want women, nor do I want men, nor do I want underwear." The mechanical voice continued without any emotional fluctuations. "This is a joke. In order to prevent you from doing strange things that are beyond my logical judgment because of being too nervous, I hope you can relax a little."
"The following is the list of robberies."
"One turbulent nozzle cleaning valve for your ship's engine."
"One X-shaped support steel beam, the strength requirement is level three."
"Two timer calibrators."
The broken metal spaceship that the pirates called the ghost ship slowly listed its robbery list through the remote communication system. As many as dozens of spaceship components or parts of unknown purposes appeared on the list. At the end, the voice said, "… and all of your crystal ores.
"… and all the crystal ores on your ship. Here's a friendly reminder: the way your ship is using the engine is an incomprehensible waste of crystal ores. If necessary, you can head to the X3 galaxy and contact the federal troops to upgrade and modify the engine power system."
…
…
Xu Le didn't know how many people in the Federation missed him, but he believed that there were definitely people who missed him. He was curious about the names of those people and was very satisfied. For those people, he asked the Empire's underground resistance organization to send back the news that he was still alive as soon as possible. However, the Left Sky Star Region was full of flames of war, and communication was extremely difficult. If he was really lucky enough to return to the Federation, the news might not have reached him yet.
At this time, he didn't know that some of those who missed him and were missed by him were facing execution. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to wait for even ten minutes on this planet controlled by smugglers and vacationing pirates.
After leaving Tianjing on the Empire's military transport ship, the first ten days of space travel were very safe. There were no problems with the identity forged by the resistance organization. However, when they quietly left the Empire's warship and boarded the smuggling spaceship to continue their escape, the situation suddenly became tense.
Because of the war, the Empire's fleet increased the frequency of cruising in the star regions within their borders. Even the secret smuggling routes that were usually considered to be outside of the Empire's jurisdiction actually appeared. The closer they were to the front lines of the battlefield, the stricter the Empire's official inspection. The tactic of using money to clear the way in the past was now completely useless.
In just four days, Xu Le and the others encountered several fatal crises. The resistance organization's soldiers kept dying to protect them as they moved forward with difficulty, all the way until they landed on the most remote planet in the L9 galaxy.
During this escape journey, Xu Le's view of the underground resistance organization changed greatly. This was especially so when he looked at Mr. Mu En, who still wore an expensive leather robe and had a bleak expression on his face. In his heart, Mr. Mu En kept leveling up. The leveling up here wasn't referring to this person's powerful methods, but to other aspects.
When he first saw Mu En, Xu Le thought that he was just a gangster boss who occupied the slums of the capital city. He only had a few casinos, repair shops, and over a hundred lousy guns. However, when he left the capital city and began to flee for his life on Tianjing Planet, he discovered that Mu En was one of the few underworld leaders on Tianjing Planet. No matter which province or county he was in, his underworld gang could display its powerful abilities.
After leaving Tianjing Planet and coming to the vast universe, Xu Le finally understood that this seemingly boorish and unsophisticated fellow actually had influence over the entire Left Sky Star Field. Countless smugglers and pirate leaders had to treat him with respect when they saw him …
Xu Le licked his dry lips and looked at the heavily polluted air above this adventurer's paradise planet. He couldn't help but frown as he thought of the Donglin Region.
With Mr. Mu En's help, perhaps he could really pass through the layers of blockades of the Imperial armies and complete the impossible return this time. Thinking of this, a smile and homesickness surfaced on his face. Shortly after, he thought of another matter. The old man had once asked him to go to the Great Master Fan Manor to investigate the clues left behind by the A.I. Chip. However, he had been struggling between life and death during those days and had completely forgotten about this matter. Now that he was about to return, there probably wouldn't be a chance to investigate it. Perhaps he would wait until the Federal forces attacked Tianjing before he went to that small white courtyard to take a look? Right, there was also Aunt Susan. When the time came, he would also have to go and take a look. Paul … wouldn't really be going to the battlefield, right?
He was still in a dangerous place within the Empire, but he began to imagine the beautiful scene when he returned in the future. It had to be said that the cheerful and optimistic fighting spirit had long been deeply rooted in Xu Le's bones. However, the worried and heavy voice of Mr. Mu En next to him instantly destroyed these optimistic imaginations.
"There's a big problem." Mr. Mu En's palm stroked the rough skin under his smooth leather jacket as he looked at the spaceport more than ten kilometers in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling glass window. With a serious expression, he said, "The latest news is that the military has taken control of the spaceport and allowed spaceships to land, but banned all aircraft from taking off … I don't know if this is wartime control or if the military has detected something and is taking measures specifically to target you."
Xu Le suddenly turned around and looked into Mr. Mu En's eyes.
Mr. Mu En lit the thick tobacco in his hand and said with a frown, "Because of you, the Empire has blocked the smuggling route for a long time. The resistance of the nobles and merchants was too strong, so it gradually loosened later. We have always taken the path of the military. As long as we have enough money, we can get through. But this time, it really won't work. Now, none of the officers dare to accept money."
Mu En walked back to the room and took out the workbench. He opened a three-dimensional star map and slid a thin line on the corner of the star map that was magnified four hundred times. He whispered, "The most important thing now is this line. Of all the smuggling routes, this is the most secretive one, and the military should not have grasped it. The problem is that the military has directly taken control of the spaceport. The most terrifying thing is that an Empire light fleet came out of nowhere and blocked all the entrances of this smuggling route. It seems that even if the military does not have the specific data of the route, they have a general understanding of the situation. "
"If our ship can enter this route, then turn right in the direction of 23.33.17 from the exit and pass through these three spatial gates, we will be able to reach the periphery of the X3 system." Mr. Mu En pointed at the dots of light on the star map with the thick tobacco in his hand and said slowly, "According to the information we received, your army is now preparing to attack X3."
"The problem is that in this half a month, no other spaceship has the opportunity to sneak in except for the Red Beard Pirates."
"What is your suggestion?" Xu Le asked.
"I can't give any suggestions now. We can only wait," Mr. Mu En answered directly.
Xu Le sighed softly and turned to look at the spaceport outside the window. He felt that the road home was so close to him, but why was it so far away?
At this moment, his sharp eyes caught sight of a few small black dots at the spaceport. The ships were slowly taking off. The flames from the bottom of the ships distorted the light in the air, flattening the small sun on the horizon.
"Didn't we say that no spaceships are allowed to take off?" Xu Le asked with narrowed eyes.
Mu En was also extremely puzzled. His brows were tightly knitted together, and after looking for a moment, his pupils suddenly shrank as he said, "Colonel Xu Le, it looks like I can only send you off here."
Xu Le's pupils also shrank nervously at this moment. The two of them noticed at almost the same time that after those few spaceships took off from the spaceport, they didn't fly out of the atmosphere. Instead, they flew straight for the hotel they were in at a terrifying speed!
The temporarily set up alarm sounded sharply. Mu En dragged out a heavy firearm from under the bed and threw it to Xu Le. He ran out of the room and shouted, "We're definitely being watched. Run by yourself!"
Xu Le caught the firearm with a flip of his wrist and slung it over his shoulder. He rushed out of the room and ran along the corridor full of glass windows in a different direction. He shouted, "Who are they?"
Throughout the entire process of escaping, Mr. Mu En was able to remain calm no matter what kind of danger he encountered. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the few Imperial military spaceships approaching at high speed. He looked at the golden hibiscus insignia on the spaceships and said in a trembling voice, "The Royal Special Mecha Battalion!"
Xu Le, who was running at high speed, paused slightly. He looked out the window at the spaceships that had already flown to the hotel. He looked at the bottom of the spaceships that were slowly cracking open, and at the dozen or so cold steel mechas that sent chills down his spine. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the firearm on his shoulder. He thought with a trace of coldness in his heart, "What can this gun do?"
…
…
"Your Highness, we just received news that the Royal Special Mecha Battalion team hiding on the L9 transit planet has successfully found the remnants of the resistance organization. They also found the location of that fugitive from the Federation. According to your instructions, the Royal Special Mecha Battalion has already started the killing operation. If there are no accidents, we should have the latest news in about three minutes. "
Huai Caoshi, who was standing by the window, calmly looked at the fleets that were retreating into the heart of the Empire in the dark universe. She thought about the killing operation on the L9 system behind her. She didn't know why, but she slightly furrowed her brows. In the beginning, she didn't think much of that guy. She just didn't expect that guy to be like a cockroach that couldn't be killed no matter what. He gradually became a thorn in her heart. Now that this thorn was about to be removed, why didn't she feel the satisfaction of success?
Huai Caoshi wasn't disappointed that the clean-up operation against the underground resistance organization in the slums didn't manage to kill Xu Le. On the contrary, it made her more confident that she could kill Xu Le. That enemy who didn't play by the rules in the past was now mixed in with the remnants of the resistance organization. It seemed like he had many helpers, but in reality, he also revealed many tails formed by shadows. As long as they followed the trail of the resistance organization, they would be able to find out where he was.
During the space journey leading the second batch of wolf fang mecha squadrons to the frontlines, Huai Caoshi continuously sent instructions to the Royal Intelligence Agency and the relevant military departments. The Royal Intelligence Agency was very clear on the style of the resistance organization. After combining all the information, the Empire set their sights on the L9 system.
Huai Caoshi agreed with this judgment. From planet Tianjing to the edge of the Left Sky galaxy, there were many paths. However, now that the flames of war were blazing, if they wanted to leave the Empire, there was only one path left.
Although they couldn't see each other and were separated by stars, she definitely had to kill Xu Le within the Empire's borders. She definitely wouldn't allow him to return to the Federation alive. Thus, she had long made preparations to block this only path of survival into a dead end.
"Pass down my orders. Transfer the 14 Night Wolf battleships of the Heaven's Eye formation to the designated area and block the exit of that secret space route." Because of some kind of warning, Huai Caoshi added an order without any warning.
"Your Highness, because they were used to seal off the space route, too many battleships have already been transferred. The space defense of the X3 system is already very weak. Now, you still want to transfer more battleships over …" The officer looked at Her Highness in shock. He didn't understand why Her Highness would make such an unnecessary move when that Federation fugitive was clearly going to die.
"We were going to give up on the X3 system anyway." Huai Caoshi looked at the grand and majestic cosmic retreat in front of the battleships that carried a trace of sorrow and magnificence. She took a deep breath, narrowed her eyes, and said, "Even if that guy can fight for a sliver of a chance of survival in the impossible, I will still destroy him."
…
…
The hotel's large and luxurious glass wall was instantly reduced to a pile of wreckage by the terrifying gunfire of the dozen or so cold mecha that were about six metres tall. Countless cries of pain and sporadic gunshots rang out in the corridor.
Immediately after that, the dozen or so wolf fang mecha rushed out at high speed, chasing after that figure in the morning light. The leaves on the street fell from the mecha's high-speed advance. Who knew how many houses were reduced to ruins under the heavy mechanical feet of countless people, and who knew how many people died because of this.
The fleeing figure seemed so lonely, yet so resolute and ruthless. It was as if there was an engine installed on his legs. With a speed that was beyond human imagination, he climbed over the wall in front of him, stepped over the ancient trees in front of him, and turned into a shining shadow under the morning light, all the way forward.
However, the speed of a human was ultimately no match for the speed and agility of the wolf fang mecha. It didn't take long before the dozen or so mecha from the Empire's Royal Special Mecha Battalion coldly caught up to him and forced him into a park hidden in a dense forest by the side of the road.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Fallen leaves danced in the air as grey shadows flashed past. A series of powerful mecha-specific shrapnel shrapnel swept the thick ancient trees in the park in half.
Xu Le was extremely lucky to have avoided the death reaping of these terrifying shrapnel. Using his fastest speed, he rushed to the top of the mountain and then stopped.
Running for his life was not scary. He seemed to have spent his entire life on the run. What was scary was that right now, he had no idea where to run to.
Death was also not scary. Early on, after his family had died in the mining accident, he had spent a long time planting that seed of fearlessness in his heart. What was scary was that he might die in a foreign country and no one would know.
Using his own two legs to compete in speed with the Empire's mecha, rushing through the streets, ancient trees, and swamps to reach the top of the small mountain … it was truly inconceivable. However, the seemingly endless strength in his body had also been depleted by this terrifying sprint.
Looking at the falling trees all around him and the metal reflections of the mecha that lit up from time to time between the trees, Xu Le gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air to relieve the dizziness caused by the lack of oxygen. Then, he narrowed his eyes.
While running at high speed, he had already thrown away the gun on his shoulder. The powerful anti-material gun was not very useful against these latest Wolf Fang mecha models.
The faint sound of wind and thunder came from the horizon. Several Empire's close-range fighter jets drew terrifying airflow lines as they rushed in this direction.
Was this the final battle of his life? Narrowing his eyes, Xu Le's heart was strangely calm as he watched the fighter jets in the sky and the Empire's special mecha coming from all directions. Other than the faint pride born from such a grand occasion, there was not even the slightest bit of fighting spirit in him.
He took a deep breath and transferred the burning energy from his waist to his fingertips. He closed his eyes and recalled the crazy battle techniques his uncle had used in the Green Hills of Hexi Province. Those finger movements that could make the heavy mecha dance with the movement of his fingers despite being separated by thick armor.
An instant later, he opened his eyes, a trace of a bitter smile on his face. Facing more than a dozen mecha and the fighter jets in the sky with his bare hands, as well as the densely packed Empire's troops further away, who could escape?
After all, humans were not first-order machines. After all, he was not Uncle Feng Yu. In this most dangerous moment, he also did not see Uncle Feng Yu.
The Wolf Fang Mechs all around stopped their heavy footsteps, the cold gun barrels on their mechanical arms aimed at the small hill. The missiles under the wings of the Empire's fighter jets that were closing in at high speed in the sky left their jets and flew freely with the aura of death.
At this moment, Xu Le's eyes fell on the dusky sky above his head that was very similar to Donglin Hometown. Across this sky, not far away was the Federation's troops. Unfortunately, he could no longer go back.
At this moment, the extraordinarily strange and colorful dust clouds due to pollution suddenly tumbled. A hole formed by high-speed air turbulence quickly formed. The dim light of the distant star became countless times brighter, shrouding the entire area around the mountain in gold.
A strange dark colored spaceship covered in tattered metal parts rushed out of the hole at a shocking speed like a metal monster from another time and space in this golden color. It slammed into the Empire's fighter jet that was firing missiles high up in the sky.
The missiles first landed on the strange spaceship's body, bursting into a large ball of beautiful flames. Then, this seemingly burning spaceship smashed the Empire's fighter jet into pieces like rain in the sky.
None of the Empire's soldiers who carried out this mission could describe the scene after the incident. No one could describe the flight path of that spaceship because according to the strict laws of physics, no one in this universe could withstand the high-speed turns of that strange spaceship. It was like a ghost turning at high speed.
A gust of wind blew, the leaves swayed, and the mountain shook. More than ten Empire's Wolf Fang mecha fell to the ground miserably. That strange, tattered spaceship roared and soared into the sky again, drawing a strange arc in the sky, avoiding the surface-to-air missiles of the Empire's ground base. It elegantly and arrogantly flew across the entire city. Then, the bow of the spaceship suddenly tilted, raised its head, and pierced through the clouds, flying towards that streak of golden light and disappeared in an instant.
Xu Le, who was on the hill, had also disappeared.
