65: Chapter 65 Defeat
65 -65 Defeat
At that moment, Li Fubai was also operating Iron Head, picking up the HD-01 type rocket launcher and shooting at Gun Knight.
Gun Knight drew out the red Metal Long Spear and turned around, spearing through the incoming rocket.
Boom~
Accompanied by a massive explosion.
Gun Knight was immediately engulfed in the blast flames.
“Awesome, Brother Li!”
Wu Bo and the others shouted excitedly upon seeing this scene.
However, as the flames from the explosion dissipated, everyone saw Gun Knight standing unscathed, the armor slightly charred but largely undamaged.
Their previously joyous mood instantly plummeted.
“We, we can’t beat this at all!
I don’t want to die here.”
At this time, a student operating Iron Head had a mental breakdown, turning the Mecha around and fleeing.
As a result, Gun Knight immediately turned his head to look at the fleeing Iron Head, raising his left hand toward him as the concealed Beam Cannon emerged.
Zzz~
A red beam instantly blasted the fleeing Iron Head apart.
Seeing this, Su Ming and the others felt even more disheartened, thoroughly unable to fight or flee.
“What an idiot, Chuyu, Sun Yue, follow me!”
Li Fubai cursed irritably and then discarded the rocket launcher, switching to the Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade.
“Understood.”
Lin Chuyu replied calmly.
Following Li Fubai, Lin Chuyu, and Sun Yue, the three of them armed with Heavy Metal Mechanical Blades spread out, attacking Gun Knight from different directions.
Su Ming, without hesitation, switched to the red Alloy Blade and charged forward.
Facing the attack from four Iron Heads, Gun Knight showed not a hint of panic, merely lifting the spear slightly.
Lin Chuyu was the first to close in from the left, swinging the Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade at Gun Knight.
Gun Knight swept the long spear across.
Crack~
Accompanied by the clashing of the two weapons, Lin Chuyu was sent flying by the massive force, the entire mechanical arm twisted.
At that moment, Sun Yue attacked from the left-rear, leaping up close, the Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade thrusting toward the back of Gun Knight’s head.
Gun Knight tilted his head to the right, easily dodging Sun Yue’s attack, as the Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade nearly grazed past his head.
“How is that possible?”
Sun Yue’s eyes bulged in disbelief.
At this time, Gun Knight lifted his left hand to grab Sun Yue’s mech’s arm and fiercely swung it toward the approaching Li Fubai.
Li Fubai, startled, maneuvered Iron Head to dodge.
At that moment, Su Ming appeared on Gun Knight’s side, his red Alloy Blade fiercely slashing at Gun Knight.
But Gun Knight agilely dodged, the red Alloy Blade cutting through air.
At this moment, Gun Knight’s crimson electronic eyes also instantaneously locked onto Su Ming.
Su Ming’s heart shuddered fiercely, instinctively sensing extreme danger, as if a ferocious beast had fixed its gaze on him.
The next second, Gun Knight swung the red Metal Long Spear from below upward.
At the limit, he operated the auxiliary thrusters, forcefully pushing the Mecha to move sideways to dodge.
Crack!
Iron Head’s right arm was sliced off, sparks flying from the severed joint.
“Damn it!”
Chen Tong saw Su Ming was in danger, lifting the Grenade Gun and firing a shot at Gun Knight.
Gun Knight countered with a sweep of his spear, exploding the incoming grenade, then unabated, locked onto Su Ming, viewing him as the highest threat.
In response, Su Ming clenched his teeth, controlling the Mecha, rampantly rushing toward Li Fubai.
Gun Knight’s toes touched the ground as he charged towards Su Ming.
At this moment, Li Fubai saw Su Ming bringing Gun Knight towards him and roared in shock and anger.
“Don’t come over here!”
Unfortunately, Su Ming didn’t listen and instead, he maxed out his power.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ming had reached Li Fubai, and Gun Knight also appeared behind Su Ming, his fierce spear piercing through Su Ming’s back.
At this moment, Su Ming manipulated Iron Head to its limits, tilting it to one side.
Instantly, Li Fubai was exposed in front of Gun Knight, and as he saw the spear coming towards him, he raised his arms crosswise in a panic to block.
Crack!
The red Metal Long Spear directly pierced through the crossed mechanical arms, embedding itself into Li Fubai’s cockpit.
Due to the excessive movements, Iron Head, controlled by Su Ming, lost its balance and crashed heavily onto the ground.
Inside the cockpit, Su Ming was violently shaken, pain coursing through his organs.
He shook his head and looked up at the control screen.
“Warning: Right arm of the mecha damaged!”
“Warning: HD31 circuit damaged!”
“Warning: External armor damage reached 37%!”
…
Seeing the poor condition of the mecha, Su Ming quickly scanned his surroundings.
At this moment, he saw a sloping service tunnel entrance not far away.
Su Ming decisively unlocked the safety catch and pulled the emergency cockpit switch.
Hiss~
With the depressurization, the cockpit opened.
Su Ming jumped out of the cockpit and ran desperately towards the entrance of the service tunnel.
As he hadn’t gone far, he saw a marine corps student’s body and quickly bent down to pick up a rifle.
At this time, Gun Knight flung the Iron Head aside and, with its crimson electronic eyes locking onto Su Ming fleeing for his life, quickly raised its left arm, preparing to blast Su Ming with a shot.
Boom~
Suddenly, a grenade struck its back and exploded.
Gun Knight staggered, losing its target.
Its crimson electronic eyes flashed red as several mechanical spiders crawled out from the corners and chased after Su Ming.
Suddenly, Gun Knight turned to look at Chen Tong, who had attacked him.
“Fuck, come at me!”
Chen Tong fired another shot at Gun Knight, drawing its attention.
By then, Su Ming had rushed into the service tunnel, and as he sprinted downwards, he suddenly heard a rustling movement behind him.
Su Ming immediately felt uneasy, looked back, and instantly saw two mechanical spiders with glowing red eyes chasing after him.
Bang Bang!
Su Ming immediately turned and fired his rifle in a burst, blasting the two mechanical spiders.
But then, three more mechanical spiders appeared.
Su Ming, with a grim face, sprayed another hail of bullets, then without waiting to see the results, he turned and rushed into the tunnel, continuing his downward sprint.
Su Ming quickly reached the underground area of the interstellar airport.
The entire underground area’s walls were built of reinforced concrete, looking exceptionally thick and rough.
The dim emergency lights illuminated endless intertwined corridors extending to various areas with numerous closed rooms along the way.
Su Ming quickly scanned his surroundings and soon saw a half-open room on his right.
Without hesitating, he dashed into the room and then leaned against the wall behind the door.
Su Ming forcefully suppressed his heavy breathing.
For some reason, he felt extremely tired, as if all strength was drained from him.
Minutes later, as Su Ming’s heart calmed down, he briefly surveyed the room he was hiding in.
It was a storage room, cluttered with boxes everywhere and nothing out of the ordinary.
Suddenly, he heard a noise outside the room, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
Holding his breath, Su Ming gripped his rifle, the sounds drawing nearer.
