Chapter 68 - Quickly Familiarize

The other team members were also both shocked and enraged as they just had considered ganging up on the Elite Level Bai Ze.

Meanwhile, two general-species Bai Ze charged toward two other Mechas.

They were all too busy looking after their own safety to even think about aiding Li Han.

After the ambush was successful, the Elite Bai Ze immediately pounced toward Li Han.

However, as the captain of the Mecha team, Li Han had some tricks up his sleeve.

He controlled his Mecha to lift its leg and kicked fiercely, sending the attacking Bai Ze flying.

Lin Zinuo’s heart sank; she clearly saw that her side was at a disadvantage.

Without any hesitation, she shouted, “All combatants, follow me!

Provide fire support!”

The people present charged without any fear.

However, this did not include Su Mo, who instead of rushing to help immediately, turned and ran in the opposite direction.

To be precise, he ran toward the direction from which Li Han’s Mecha had come.

He remembered clearly Lin Zinuo had mentioned that she was here to take over five Mechas.

Since only three Mechas had been deployed, that meant two were still unaccounted for.

Su Mo was not sure if he could operate a Mecha, but he was certain of one thing: just Li Han and a few others would definitely not be enough to defeat those Bai Ze, and total annihilation was only a matter of time.

Soon, Su Mo reached the end of the pathway, facing a spacious warehouse directly in front of him.

He did not hesitate for a moment and rushed in.

Inside the warehouse, two thick and sturdy green Mechas were standing there, humanoid in shape, with a round head display in a cross pattern featuring a large red dot in the center.

Standing about eight meters tall, each Mecha had a heavy-duty gun in its left hand, its caliber nearly that of a tank.

Next to each Mecha lay a special mechanical key, along with an operating manual.

This was the first time Su Mo had seen Mechas from such a close distance; everything seemed so real.

He walked over, picked up a mechanical key, and an instruction manual.

The front of the manual boldly stated.

JK-03 Model City Guardian Mecha Operating Manual.

He quickly flipped through the manual, getting a rough look.

Then, Su Mo pulled a simple iron ladder over from the side, climbed up to the chest of one Mecha, inserted the mechanical key into a small hole on the side of the Mecha’s chest, and gave it a turn!

Click!

The cockpit in its chest slowly opened, revealing a spacious seat.

Su Mo jumped right in.

Looking at the all-metal control panel, his blood began to stir.

It was his first time operating such a real Mecha; previously, he could only play on simulators.

To say he wasn’t excited would be a lie.

As the saying goes, Mechas are the romantic dream many men yearn for.

However, the gunfire outside quickly sobered Su Mo up as he began to face the reality of the situation.

These were stock Mechas, so there was no lock or password required; simply inserting the mechanical key into the corresponding slot would start it.

Starting it was not the problem; the key was how to control it.

Fortunately, the characters used on these Mechas were all common languages in the Dragon Country, not unfamiliar symbols, making them easily recognizable.

This provided Su Mo with considerable convenience.

He inserted the key into the designated keyhole and pressed the start button.

Instantly, the entire control room lit up, and the cockpit began to slowly close.

Following the instructions on the console, Su Mo pulled the control stick.

It felt so heavy!

Su Mo didn’t know about other aspects, but just pulling the control stick required a lot of strength, and not many people could handle it.

You know, it’s not just one or two pulls; this needs to be done continuously during battle.

In the warehouse, the illuminated Mecha moved like a clownish baby, swaying and dancing erratically.

Meanwhile, at the base entrance, the situation grew worse.

Li Han was desperately struggling.

The elite Type I Bai Ze he faced was incredibly powerful.

It could not only directly confront a Mecha with its flesh and blood but was even stronger, not to mention that the Bai Ze’s speed and reaction were exceptionally fast.

The armor on the Mecha Li Han was piloting had deformed beyond recognition, and its movements were increasingly sluggish.

The elite Type I Bai Ze, keenly aware of its prey’s weakness, decisively launched a lethal attack.

It continuously attacked various parts of the Mecha.

Li Han gritted his teeth, retreating sharply to create distance and pressed the final trump card button.

Whoosh!

The abdomen of the Green Shield Mecha opened, and two small-range missiles were launched.

However, the charging Bai Ze abruptly leaped up, instantly evading the incoming short-range missiles.

It then directly pounced on Li Han’s Mecha, pinning the entire Mecha down.

The next second, its sharp tail pierced through.

Crack!

The already indented armor couldn’t hold, and was instantly penetrated.

Inside the cockpit, Li Han was impaled and let blood trickle from the corners of his mouth, his head drooping in unwillingness.

The other two Mechas weren’t faring any better, being defeated one by one under the onslaught of the general species Bai Ze and its underlings.

The performance of the Mechas wasn’t the issue; it was mainly the abysmal operating skill.

“Sister Zinuo can’t hold on much longer, what should we do?”

As the situation worsened, Zhou Qian shouted at Lin Zinuo.

Lin Zinuo bit her lip; she had no other options.

Now they could only resist forcibly.

To put it bluntly, flee?

Where could they flee to?

Let’s not even discuss if there was a way to escape, whether they could outrun them was another question.

As for hiding?

That was even less feasible.

With the Bai Ze’s strong sense of smell, essentially no one could hide.

Now, they could only fight to the death.

All she could do was clench her teeth and shout.

“Brothers and sisters, let’s fight them!”

“Let’s fight them!”

Everyone present was extremely frustrated.

Since there was no choice, they might as well give it their all; if they could take a few down with them, so be it.

At that moment, the elite Type I Bai Ze and its companions surrounded them, grinning viciously.

Lin Zinuo and the others instinctively stepped back, but unfortunately, there was no room left to retreat.

The civilian gamers behind them shuddered in fear, their faces filled with terror.

Roar~

The elite Type I Bai Ze let out a fierce roar and charged forward.

Lin Zinuo pulled the trigger of her rifle, bullets pouring out.

Unfortunately, they were completely ineffective; the dense bullets couldn’t even penetrate the Bain Ze’s pale gray skin.

As the huge, gaping mouth came biting towards her, Lin Zinuo’s heart chilled completely.

Just at that moment, a sudden roaring sound approached, and a Mecha charged at high speed.

It brutally collided with the elite Bai Ze, sending it flying.
