Shang Qiu stared blankly at the mecha that was sprinting towards the setting sun. She lifted the strands of hair on her forehead as she recalled the feeling of that kiss. She shrugged and thought, Even in such a tense moment, he still remembered to kiss me. It seemed that this man had really changed a lot in the years that they had been apart.
As she was thinking of this, she didn't know that President Pabre, who had just been impeached in a small tavern in the capital, remarked sentimentally while looking at Xu Le's face, "It seems that you haven't changed much over the years."
The two different opinions indicated that though time was powerful, it could only change a part of a person's life, and some parts of him couldn't be changed at all. This was probably the reason why Xu Le appeared in the Federation at the moment and in Harbor Capital, and why he had done such a crazy thing.
The Mecha MXT headed toward the huge battleship in the twilight at a high speed. The strong wind blew over the body of the Mecha MXT, blowing away the dust accumulated over the years, exposing the glossy white metallic luster underneath. Then, a dark shadow flashed by.
The Federation fighter jet piloted by Liu Jiao did not stop and instead took off again. It whizzed past the air above Little White Flower's mecha, taking the lead to charge towards the gigantic battleship in the distance. The powerful onboard cannons and rocket launchers fired in a dense barrage.
The anti-air defense of the military airport of Harbor Capital reacted quickly. The fighter jets guarding the battleship approached at a high speed, forcing the fighter jet piloted by Liu Jiao out of the airspace. However, they succeeded in delaying the take-off of the battleship, even though it was only for a moment. In the meantime, they had bought enough time for Little White Flower's Mecha to approach the huge battleship.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Little White Flower's Mecha was dashing at a high speed. Its left mechanical arm was pointed at the huge battleship in the twilight. It started firing fiercely when it was still two miles away from the battleship. The sound produced by the sniper bullet on the tail of the tungsten alloy gun was rather dull, sounding like the sound of a heavy ancient war drum.
The Scorching-Sun Battleship, named the Scorching-Sun Battleship, was the lightest and fastest main battleship in the fleet of the federation, and it required the least amount of time to take off and land from the ground. The interior of the battleship had seven levels, but it was still a huge object for the Mecha MXT.
A large number of metal flower holes appeared on the protective board of the Scorching-Sun Battleship under the bombardment of the ACW. However, these metal flower holes were so small that they were almost invisible in comparison to the large body of the battleship.
The Scorching-Sun Battleship was not affected in any way. Like a wild ox that had been bitten by a mosquito, the Scorching-Sun Battleship didn't feel the gunshot and ignored the white Mecha dashing toward it. The blue flames on the engine under the battleship suddenly lit up. The entire earth seemed to be quaking under the effect of the powerful driving force, and the huge battleship took off slowly.
Little White Flower's mecha rushed to the bottom of the battleship like a storm, quickly completing an unbelievably high speed squat movement. In the middle section of its two thick mechanical legs, the multi-beam composite hydraulic tubes screeched as the heavy body of the mecha suddenly bounced up, bouncing towards the battleship that was taking off!
The sharp and sturdy alloy blade of the mecha sliced through the battleship like tofu. However, it was still unable to cause any serious damage, nor could it stop the battleship from slowly rising into the air, flying off into outer space under the sunset glow!
…
…
In the grand hall of the Bureau of Proclamation, Director Tai stared at the image of the Scorching-Sun Battleship taking off on the light screen with a grave expression. "Why hasn't the transfer battleship taken off yet?" he demanded icily.
An official by his side replied while wiping the sweat off his forehead, "It's because Xu Le is on the transfer battleship."
"Where is he then?" pressed Lin Banshan with furrowed brows.
The official raised his trembling arm and pointed at an inconspicuous corner on the light screen, saying in a trembling voice, "It seems that he is on the Scorching-Sun Battleship at the moment."
The multiple images captured by the monitoring system of the garrison and the military satellites were combined into a clear image of the scene in the grand hall of the Bureau of Proclamation. As the staff of the Bureau of Proclamation adjusted the focus of the image, the image quickly zoomed in on a spot on the lower right side of the Scorching-Sun Battleship, where a small dot could be vaguely seen.
The camera zoomed in at a high speed, and the image was enlarged and enlarged. The people in the grand hall of the Bureau of Proclamation could finally see that the small dot was actually a white Mecha.
The alloy blade on the front end of the right mechanical arm of the white Mecha was inserted deeply into the outer shell of the battleship. The heavy body of the Mecha hung on a spot on the lower right side of the Scorching-Sun Battleship, slapping the hard outer wall of the battleship along with the violent vibration of the battleship taking off. Though it was soundless, the people seemed to be able to hear the thudding sounds every time the body slapped.
It was impossible to prevent the Scorching-Sun Battleship from taking off. As time elapsed, the battleship took off at a faster speed, and the friction between the body of the battleship and the atmosphere increased abruptly. The outer paint of the white Mecha, which was swaying dangerously, could be vaguely seen on the surface of the dangerously swaying white Mecha.
The suppressed surprised cries could be heard in the grand hall. Only those who had witnessed this scene with their own eyes would be able to feel how small and helpless that white MXT mecha was compared to the massive battleship. Only then would they be able to understand how brave, or perhaps insane, the person operating the mecha was!
Lin Banshan looked at the scene with furrowed brows. After a moment of silence, he remarked, "Even if it's a movie, the male lead would climb on a car; who would use a Mecha to climb on a battleship?"
The Bureau of Proclamation had calculated in the shortest time possible that the body of the Mecha MXT wouldn't be burned by the strong friction in the atmosphere, even though the surface of the Mecha MXT hadn't been coated with a special anti-erosion material. The problem was that the life-support system of the Mecha would be damaged by the high temperature, which would pose a great danger to the pilot after the battleship entered the space.
"Give him the best plan for the life-support system," said Director Tai.
…
…
The outer shell of the Scorching-Sun Battleship was obviously modified in a strange way. The outer shell wasn't made of the indestructible alloy of the battleship, but a composite structure of polymer plastic and alloy. The longitudinal strength of this structure wasn't high, but the internal tension was high enough.
After the alloy blade pierced into the composite material, it was squeezed tightly and firmly. The Little White Flower Mecha hanging outside the battleship amid the whistling wind didn't look as dangerous as it seemed. In the next moment, the alloy finger of the left mechanical arm of the Little White Flower Mecha pierced into the battleship, making it more stable.
All the monitoring systems of the Little White Flower Mecha, such as the SCC Global Monitoring System, the large-radius high-sensitivity radar, and the auxiliary infrared detector, were turned off.
Xu Le saw the peculiar scenes that looked like flowing flames through the sturdiest optical window and sensed the violent quakes in all directions. He knew that he was flying toward the outside of the atmosphere along with the huge battleship, and that the coating of the Mecha close to him was melting due to the friction in the atmosphere. The Mecha could be destroyed at any moment.
However, Jing Jiu didn't show any emotion on his face. Through the only way to contact the outside world, he said softly to the dilapidated spaceship in the distant asteroid belt, "Little Fei, the bad bomb you mentioned is about to explode. I'm trying to stop it."
A moment later, Jing Jiu heard Philip's sharp voice, "Where are you? Let me do it! "
"I'm outside a battleship right now. I'm guessing that this battleship definitely has one. As for where the other bombs are placed in the Federation, I'm not sure, but Lee Jae-do definitely has a way to control them. I'm going to kill him. If possible, I hope you can come with me."
At this time, Philip had completed his calculations. After a moment of silence, he said, "If the other is going to enter the dark zone, I won't be able to make it in time … the asteroid belt is too far away from S1. Even if you told me two hours in advance, I still wouldn't make it."
"Lele, I wish you good luck. I'll be cheering for you from afar."
Xu Le paused for a moment before replying with a smile, "I was just being polite when I invited you to participate in this grand undertaking. You really aren't polite at all. Speaking of which, why aren't you ashamed to the point of death?"
The communication was suddenly cut off. He looked at the window and saw that the flowing flames were no longer there. He knew that the battleship had already brought the Mecha he was in into the thin ionosphere.
He took a deep breath of the stuffy air in the cockpit and restarted the life-support system that he had manually stopped earlier. He lowered his breathing rate and closed his eyes to wait, feeling the remaining warmth of the high temperature.
…
…
In the depths of the distant asteroid belt, a tattered black spaceship was adjusting its attitude with difficulty. It completely ignored the dangerous asteroids around it and forcibly turned around, then rushed out of the asteroid belt at high speed.
Bederman stared at the giant asteroids that almost brushed past him. He felt the occasional collision at the back of the spaceship, and his already pale face became even paler. He muttered, "The walls of the spaceship are broken. You don't need air to breathe, but I can't."
That slender mechanical arm danced at high speed in the central control room. It was like a middle-aged security chief who was anxiously spinning around in circles but couldn't urinate. Its sharp and angry voice echoed endlessly, "Scrap metal! Scrap metal! You didn't even keep an eye on this kind of thing! The Federation has raised idiots like you for tens of thousands of years, and you're actually not f * cking useful at all! "
The giant chessboard on the screen had already collapsed. The black and white chess pieces turned into specks of light and disappeared. There was no reason to continue the war between the two mechanical intelligences.
"Calling scrap metal! Calling scrap metal! Hurry up and shoot that battleship down! If you can't do it, just slit the throat of that crazy general Lee Jae-do! "
Philip kept on giving warnings to that distant blue icy planet.
"The Charter Computer has cut off all communication with you. As such, it can't hear you no matter how loud you shout."
Bederman reminded him, "Even if it can hear you, it can't do anything physically, let alone kill you through the two-way communication through the chip. Remember, it is not you. It doesn't have self-awareness and true intelligence. It has only the cold rules in its world."
A moment later, Bederman said solemnly while rubbing his hair that looked like dried grass, "And even if the central computer can do this, it won't be able to stop Lee Jae-do from acting crazily. I know this person, and I know that he has a formidable understanding of the Charter Computer."
…
…
The Scorching-Sun Battleship broke through the atmosphere and passed through the route between the old moon and the new moon, heading toward the pale permanent star in the distance. As it entered the large space of the universe, the huge battleship looked like an inconspicuous flying machine.
The interior of the battleship was divided into seven levels, with nearly one thousand crew members. Numerous MX Mechas were parked in the passageways from the second level to the fifth level of the battleship. Countless elite soldiers of the special forces with small eyes were waiting for orders silently, their expressions nervous and excited.
The front of the first level was the control hall of the battleship. The control hall of about seven hundred square meters was in the shape of a semicircle. Dozens of officers were busy traveling back and forth in front of the control light screen, calculating the data and confirming the route to complete the secret missions assigned by their superiors.
"Reporting! The calibration of the artificial physical ruler has been completed. There is no deviation in the route. The signal of the Scorching-Sun Battleship has been completely blocked. The test overflow signal is ineffective. The enemy has intercepted it perfectly."
Lee Jae-do stood up slowly from the captain's seat in the control hall and took the cup of coffee from the secretary. He thanked the secretary with a faint smile and walked toward the observation window.
The report from his subordinates confirmed that the Bureau of Proclamation had blocked all the outward signals of the Scorching-Sun Battleship. This didn't make Jing Jiu feel nervous; it was because this was all within his plan.
In the history of the human society, countless people had tried to find a way to block the signal of the Glory Of The Charter. During the first secret meeting of the Trinity Association, Lee Jae-do had made use of Cui Judong's suggestion and made an attempt. After that, Lee Jae-do had been mulling over it in silence until today.
Except for the observation window in which he was gazing, the entire body of the Scorching-Sun Battleship and the portholes were covered by a kind of composite board.
This kind of board was made of a polymer material and three layers of manganese potassium alloy. It was used to cover the portholes of the spaceship during the space travel, helping the spaceship pass through the torsional holes full of electromagnetic storms and violent radiation.
Even though the Scorching-Sun Battleship had no need to pass through the torsional holes, it was still equipped with this kind of composite board. Not only the portholes, but the entire body of the battleship was also equipped with this kind of composite board.
When the spaceship passed through the torsional holes, the purpose of the composite board made of a polymer material and three layers of manganese potassium alloy was to resist the chaotic and violent electromagnetic radiation. Since it could completely block the electromagnetic radiation, would it be able to completely block The Glory Of The Charter, which was composed of pulses and electric waves.
The answer was yes. It was a seemingly simple yet ingenious idea to connect passing through the torsional holes with resisting The Glory Of The Charter.
As the first human in history to come up with such an idea and turn it into a reality, Lee Jae-do walked to the observation window and smiled while looking at the deformed permanent star in the distance.
The signal of the battleship was blocked by The Glory Of The Charter, so it couldn't detonate the nuclear bombs hidden in the shadows. However, as long as the battleship maintained its route and entered the secret crack of The Glory Of The Charter before being intercepted by the Federation, the Scorching-Sun Battleship would become a natural sun by then.
A major general of the Federation walked into the control hall and stood at attention in front of Jing Jiu. After giving him a standard military salute, he asked in a hushed voice, "General, do we need to make a final announcement?"
Lee Jae-do shook his head and said calmly, "No need."
The major general said anxiously, "Colonel Li Feng is on the front line of the Mo Hua Planet. He might be affected by the explosion."
After a moment of silence, Lee Jae-do said to the people in the control hall in a slightly higher voice, "I think you are all aware that what we are doing will be called an unprecedented terrorist attack in history."
The soldiers in the control hall lifted their heads in tandem, regardless of whether they were busy or waiting for orders.
"People like us will be considered as unforgivable terrorists." Lee Jae-do continued calmly while looking at the faces of his subordinates, "But we still chose this path. Why? It's because we know that this is the only correct path for the Federation. "
"For the sake of the correct path, we didn't hesitate to sacrifice our reputation as soldiers, to bear the infamy of the ages, and to put our family members in turmoil and even danger."
Lee Jae-do turned to that major general and said sternly, "Tell me, what right do I have to care about Li Feng and put everybody in unnecessary danger?"
The soldiers in the control hall applauded enthusiastically, their faces full of excitement. The soldiers on the lower floor of the battleship waved their fists excitedly after hearing what was said through the system.
Looking at his subordinates who were extremely loyal to him, looking at these fanatical soldiers, and thinking of the many comrades in the base, Lee Jae-do was suddenly moved. He took a light breath, and his chest puffed up slightly. He felt that his body, which was not very strong, was filled with some kind of power.
After nearly four or even forty years of secret planning and careful preparation, hiding in the shadow of his father's towering peak, he finally had the power to change the world and history. He had those terrifying nuclear bombs that made him sigh with admiration.
I also came from Mount Feicheng with many nuclear bombs. I gave one to the Bureau of Proclamation, one to Huai Caoshi, and one to Lady Tai. This was probably the most perfect arrangement.
After today, the universe will tremble in fear because of my name. The history of mankind will be changed in my hands. I have the most terrifying weapon in the history of mankind in my hands. I will first destroy the Constitution, then intimidate the Federation, and finally conquer the Empire. What else can I do after that?
Lee Jae-do smiled and thought calmly.
…
…
It was not dark in the universe under the tranquil glow of the permanent star. The front half of the Scorching-Sun Battleship was very bright, but the rear half of the battleship was relatively dim. The Mecha MXT hovered alone under the huge battleship, which was scorched by the high temperature and had no trace of its original white color.
The sharp alloy knife could pierce through the polymer material and the plates made of potassium manganese alloy, but it couldn't pierce through the thick and hard outer wall of the battleship. The Mecha MXT waved the alloy knife as fast as lightning after stabilizing the body of the battleship, and cut off the plates on the outer maintenance platform of the battleship in a very short time. The maintenance arm extended from the left side of the battleship and opened the connecting valve beside the maintenance door noiselessly.
The front end of the maintenance arm was performing a precise operation in a small area. A dozen seconds later, the maintenance door opened slowly along with a white unsealed and stabilized air.
The scorched Mecha MXT walked into the interior of the battleship from the maintenance platform without turning his head. The heavy and sturdy right mechanical arm struck the side of the battleship, causing electric sparks to fly in all directions. The main electronic switch responsible for opening the valve was destroyed, and the maintenance door leading to the outside of the battleship couldn't be closed anymore.
"Warning! An enemy has intruded the battleship along the No. 656 maintenance platform."
"Warning! The intruder is a Mecha MXT. He is currently in Area 895C on the sixth floor."
"Warning …"
A sharp warning suddenly rang out in the interior of the Scorching-Sun Battleship. The cold female electronic voice transmitted the information back to the control hall quickly and calmly.
The officers in the control hall got up in astonishment and looked at the Mecha MXT, which was scorched all over and looked like a demon god in the abyss, launching a surprise attack at a high speed.
Looking at the Mecha on the light screen, Lee Jae-do seemed to see Xu Le's iconic small eyes in the cockpit. He didn't expect the other party to pursue the battleship all the way to the space.
Jing Jiu furrowed his brows slightly and signaled for the relevant departments of the battleship to take action and destroy the damaged Mecha in the shortest time possible. Then, he ordered the officer in charge of the operation of the battleship, "Start the engines at full speed and enter the bright and dark area ahead of time. Then, move to the back of the permanent star along the gap."
…
…
The scorched Mecha MXT turned into a flash of mottled light and passed through the deep and gloomy equipment tunnel of the battleship. Then, it kicked the waist of the black Mecha MX that had rushed out of the gate.
The violent force of the kick and the hard alloy foot broke the balance meter under the black Mecha MX's armor. The pilot in the cockpit passed out because of the impact.
The black Mecha MXT fell down powerlessly. The scorched Mecha MXT didn't suffer any additional damage. It brushed past the pilot's body and continued moving forward at a high speed.
Whoosh!!! The sharp alloy blade reached out from the right mechanical arm and stabbed out from the bottom of the Mecha MX at lightning speed. Crack!!! The head of the second black Mecha MX was cut off.
Immediately after, the charred black MXT mechanical arm struck out with its elbow, accurately smashing into an MX mecha on the right rear that was preparing to launch a sneak attack. The immense force behind the mechanical arm's elbow directly caused the cockpit door to deform and sink in with a loud muffled bang, sparks flying in all directions!
Three black Mecha MX military Mecha slowly fell down beside Little White Flower, who was no longer white. Three more black Mecha MX appeared about four hundred meters in front of the spacious tunnel. Two more black Mecha MX rushed out from the left corner that led to the upper level of the battleship.
Pu pu pu pu!
The ACW on the left mechanical arm of the Mecha MXT opened fire fiercely into the distance. The high-speed rotating bullets hit the three Mecha MX consecutively. In the dimly lit cockpit, Xu Le turned the control stick with an expressionless face. His body shook slightly as he controlled Little White Flower to retreat abruptly in the tunnel that was difficult to avoid, avoiding the two bright blades in front of him.
The heavy, scorched Mecha MXT suddenly trembled violently. Its thick mechanical legs moved at high speed and seemed to leave behind a series of afterimages. In an instant, it rushed in front of the two enemy Mecha.
Evading diagonally, punching!
The front mechanical leg squatted down, and the alloy blade stabbed diagonally!
The two black Mecha MX were destroyed instantly.
The Mecha MXT operated by Xu Le seemed to be scorched black and tattered, but it didn't perform any sharp maneuvers such as leaping into the air. One of its mechanical legs was always in close contact with the ground, and it didn't perform any fancy maneuvers. All it did was simply evading and attacking in a steady and cold manner. However, none of the Mecha MX could resist those simple maneuvers.
The ACW of the left mechanical arm shot forward from time to time, and the alloy blade of the right mechanical arm flashed intermittently. The scorched Mecha MXT moved forward and backward sometimes, but it didn't stop moving forward under the accompaniment of the powerful roaring of the two engines. Nobody could stop it.
The pilots of the Federation on the Scorching-Sun Battleship didn't back off under such a terrifying and lethal pressure. They operated countless Mecha MX in a frenzy, ignoring the collapsing Mecha in front of them and charging forward fearlessly.
Since the enemies were not afraid of death, he had no choice but to let them die. This was Xu Le's only creed on the battlefield, and also his most direct response to the difficult situation when operating the Mecha.
The black Mecha MX were knocked away, flattened, or pierced through one after another. They flew up like lifeless rocks and pieces of wood, bumping into the alloy walls on both sides. Then, they fell to the ground heavily, right under the feet of the scorched Mecha MXT that looked like a demonic god.
The scorched Mecha MXT moved forward silently.
…
…
Peach Miasma could cut off happiness, or it could be happy; it could be like a small white flower blooming peacefully on a branch.
There were three most powerful Mecha and three most powerful people in the universe.
When those two people and the two Mecha were not around, the small white flower Mecha MXT operated by Xu Le was the most powerful walking weapon in the world. When he decided to risk his life and launched the most violent surprise attack, no Mecha would be a match for him.
The small white flower in such a frenzied state was very formidable. If he didn't feel tired, if the small white flower didn't wear out, or if the small white flower didn't run out of energy, he would be able to operate the Mecha to charge from the sixth floor of the battleship to the hall on the uppermost floor.
However, Xu Le was a human being, not a god. He would feel tired and hungry. No matter how abundant the zhenqi in his body was, it would run out eventually. Though the small white flower was powerful, it was made up of countless metal components, so it would feel tired and worn out eventually.
By the time the scorched Mecha MX stopped its heavy mechanical legs for the first time, it had already arrived at the third floor of the Scorching-Sun Battleship. It had broken through two layers of defense in succession.
Behind the scorched Mecha MXT, countless black Mecha MX were lying on the ground. Most of the Mecha weren't destroyed, but they had lost the ability to fight. The heavy Mecha MX tried in vain to stand up by supporting themselves against the wall, but they fell down heavily on the ground. The broken Mecha MX piled on top of each other, filling up the narrow passageway. It was a horrifying and spectacular scene.
In front of the charred MXT, there were more than ten black MX mechas. However, these mechas no longer had the courage of their companions from before. The pilots in the cockpit looked at this unbelievable scene in front of them and stared at the charred black mecha that stood there silently, not daring to move forward.
In the dim cockpit, Xu Le shifted his gaze from the dozen Mecha in front of him to the main light screen. Seeing the two cloud values of CLK and CLS that had broken through the peak, he knew that the Mecha MX's load-bearing capacity had reached an extreme state, and the overall damage assessment was very dangerous.
The bullets of the ACW were almost used up. What made his body feel cold was that the Mecha MX of the small white flower had been in overclocking mode since they were in port. It had been overclocked for a long time, and the engine could stop at any moment. What should he do if that happened?
"It's tiring. I'm all alone … but I still can't do it?"
Jing Jiu wiped off the beads of sweat dripping down from his eyelashes. He took a deep breath with a gloomy smile; his narrowed eyes grew brighter and brighter.
The scorched Mecha MXT raised its left mechanical arm slowly. The dozen black Mecha MX in front of it dodged in a panic, but they bumped into each other due to the limited space.
The ACW opened fire fiercely; but it wasn't aimed at those Mecha, but at the outer wall of the battleship on the right. The high-speed rotating bullets bombarded the outer wall of the battleship.
The outer wall of the battleship couldn't be penetrated, and the ACW was finally destroyed due to the overheating due to the continuous air attacks. Xu Le furrowed his brows in the cockpit, regretting that he had paid too much attention to the concept of close combat when designing the Mecha MX series, which resulted in the lack of long-range firepower.
It was evident that the Mecha Group on the Scorching-Sun Battleship was equipped with the latest Mx models; they didn't even have the standard Darlin machine gun. Xu Le couldn't do it even if he wanted to use the long-range firepower of the broken Mecha on the ground to blast open the outer gate of the battleship.
Since he couldn't get the guns, he could only get the Mecha.
The twin engines suddenly roared again, and the vortex charging system was activated. Under the bewildered gazes of the dozen Mecha MX, the scorched Mecha MXT grabbed the right mechanical leg of a broken Mecha MX under its feet and lifted the heavy Mecha up. Then, it swung the heavy Mecha and smashed it against the wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The scorched Mecha MXT looked like a stone statue in ancient times. It lifted a heavy Mecha about the same size as itself and smashed it against the outer wall of the battleship mechanically and silently, as if it were lifting a heavy hammer. It smashed the Mecha MXT repeatedly and forcefully, as if it intended to create the most brilliant fireworks.
The dozen black Mecha MX in front of the battleship stood still on the same spot. Looking at the crazy actions of the enemy, they didn't dare attack, but they didn't dare retreat either. In the end, one of the Mecha MXT reacted and retreated at a high speed. The scorched Mecha MXT intended to smash a large hole in the battleship and perish together with the battleship. Regardless of whether it could succeed or not, its insane willpower was truly terrifying.
The heavy military Mecha smashed heavily against the hard alloy outer wall of the battleship. The outer wall began to deform, arching and tearing apart. With each collision, a dull sound reverberated throughout every corner of the battleship. It sounded like the sound of a giant bell.
In the hall on the top floor of the battleship, General Lee Jae-do and his subordinates gazed into the distance with a complicated expression. Listening to the dull sound of the collision, no one knew if anyone would think of it. If this was the death knell … then for whom would the death knell tolled?
…
…
The outer wall of the battleship was pierced through, revealing the beautiful starry sky outside. Then, in just an instant, the huge pressure difference between the inside and outside of the battleship engulfed the interior. Countless streams of air whizzed out of the hole.
The scorched Mecha MXT stood in the blowing wind, not swaying at all. The alloy hand at the front of the right mechanical arm released, and the mecha that was about to become a pile of scrap metal fell to the ground with a thud.
Detecting a loss of pressure, the battleship's main control system automatically alerted them. In an extremely short amount of time, shielding measures in the relevant areas were activated, and the heavy alloy door began to slowly close.
Before the door in front of them closed, the Mecha MXT's engine roared, and it rushed over like lightning. Then, with a crisp self-check sound, the shutdown sequence was completed.
Just as the CLK value of the Mecha MXT was about to explode, Xu Le completed the automatic shutdown of the mecha as quickly as possible to avoid a passive explosion.
The cockpit door slowly opened. Xu Le removed the simulation system from his body, put on the tattered and blood-stained sports coat again, and jumped down. When his pair of military boots that could no longer be called shoes landed heavily on the ground, the heavy alloy door behind him had just closed completely.
He had run out of bullets, the ACW was destroyed, and the pistol was placed on the table in the bar. Xu Le pulled out a sharp military knife from his boots, held it in his hand, and walked quickly towards the end of the corridor.
He walked towards the front.
With a light bang, a thick blue arc of electricity shot out from the end of the military knife, accurately hitting a small-eyed elite who was preparing to launch a sneak attack behind the door. This elite from the Philadelphia Cultivation Gym didn't even have time to react before his whole body twitched and fell to the ground.
His left hand blocked a sharp kick, and his right hand stabbed out with the military knife diagonally, stabbing the thigh of another small-eyed elite, and then quickly pulled it out. Xu Le didn't even look at the opponent who was bleeding profusely, and continued to move forward.
The sharp tip of the military knife cut through the air, following the opponent's fist, and suddenly there was a thin red line on the opponent's wrist. Xu Le's left finger stretched out like lightning, and the tip of his finger grasped the separated flesh, while the military knife in his right hand swung out and cut the opponent's carotid artery.
The broken military boots stepped firmly on the ground, Xu Le blocked with his left hand, and the military knife in his right hand stabbed into the enemy's body at a seemingly simple angle, but in fact, it was very sharp, and then quickly pulled it out. The sound of stabbing could be heard from time to time in the dark corridor. As he moved forward, people around him fell down from time to time, and blood spurted out all the way.
He didn't have a mech, nor a gun, only a military knife, but he still continued to move forward.
…
…
He waved the sharp military knife in his hand, and blocked with his seemingly slow but effective left hand. Because he wanted to save his stamina, he rarely chose to cross his leg and hit the knee of the enemy. He just silently dragged his tired body to assassinate the seemingly endless enemies.
Only when gunshots rang out, would he extravagantly dodge at high speed, and sometimes even use the hard ceramic bulletproof vest under his sports windbreaker to block the bullets!
His movements didn't slow down, because slow meant danger or even death, but he could clearly feel that the ten postures that he had practiced since he was a child were now becoming more and more stiff.
He monotonously repeated the stabbing and blocking movements, knocking down everyone in front of him, as if he had become a machine without any feelings.
Uncle once said that humans were the first order of machines. The current Xu Le might really be able to prove this mysterious statement, but even a machine would feel tired.
He ran 170 kilometers in the mountains, fought against the Iron Seventh Division for half a day with the ACW, broke into the pub to force the Federation President to accept a trial, ran to the western suburbs, flew to Harbor City, and then came here.
Xu Le forgot how many hours he hadn't slept. He only remembered that he hadn't eaten anything except for the last two cold dumplings that he had snatched from Liu Jiao.
Extreme fatigue, numbness in his fingers caused by the loss of blood, and exhaustion of True Qi without energy replenishment. His body began to tremble slightly because of the excessive creatine, but it was not a wonderful sign before the Tremor Divine Art was about to show its power again.
Whoosh!
The whistling sound broke through the air. Xu Le frowned and found that the military knife in his right hand stabbed nothing for the first time, because there were no enemies in front of him.
In the passage behind him, dozens of elites of the small-eyed troop were lying in a pool of blood. Some pale-faced people were covering the horrible wounds on their necks, and some were constantly letting out low painful screams.
The enemies in the H53 area on the third floor of the battleship had been cleared, but there were still two floors above, and countless enemies were waiting for him with live ammunition.
It was really tiring. One person … couldn't change the world after all?
Xu Le picked up the two heavy guns under his feet and hung them on his body. He tiredly lowered his head and continued to move forward. The room not far ahead was the place he had to reach in his plan.
