Chapter 52: Chaos

At this moment, Su Ming and the other two also shouted to the other logistics examinees.

“Classmate, please help load the ammunition.”

However, unfortunately, there were over a hundred mech examinees who had rushed in so far, but there were fewer than five logistics examinees. The others had no idea where they had wandered off to.

Just then, the entire spaceship vibrated violently again, and a mechanical synthesized alert sounded over the broadcast.

“Warning: L22 external armor zone under attack!”

Chen Tong couldn’t help but curse.

“Are those people from the Command Department eating sh*t? How did the ship get hit again?!”

“Maybe the enemy’s firepower is too strong.”

Su Ming tried his best to think positively.

At this moment, inside the ship’s operations room, over a hundred command department students swarmed in.

The entire operations room was very spacious, with control panels arranged in an N-shape. All the display screens were lit, but no one was operating them. In the middle of the N-shaped control panels was a command platform, with a main command chair on it.

The students who rushed in were first stunned to see the many control panels, and then all their gazes converged on the main command chair on the command platform.

They rushed over in unison, and some students even threw themselves onto the chair as they approached it.

“This is mine.”

“Mine!”

“Get lost, I’m in charge of the main command!”

“Why? Why don’t you go operate it?”

“Then why don’t you?”

“Damn it, those control panels are so complicated and tiring to operate. Commanding only requires moving your lips, and the score is high. Why not?”

“Screw you!”

Some short-tempered students directly threw punches.

The entire command room immediately descended into chaos, with everyone constantly fighting over command authority. On the virtual main screen, danger warnings kept popping up, but no one paid attention.

So, without any surprise, the entire spaceship took another direct hit from a missile, shaking violently.

Immediately, they were startled. Some students, feeling guilty, stopped fighting and said, somewhat fearfully,

“The spaceship is sinking! You guys fight for it, I’m going to operate. Anyway, I won’t listen to your commands.”

“Right, I’ll operate my own.”

Several students stopped their Scramble, walked to the control panels, and clumsily began to operate them.

—

Inside the hangar.

Logistics examinees sat at the machine operation panels for maintenance and resupply, clumsily transporting ammunition and equipping it onto the mechs.

One timid girl was currently equipping ammunition for Li Fubai.

Li Fubai looked at the 20MM armor-piercing rounds she brought over and couldn’t help but lose his temper.

“I need 25MM explosive rounds! 25MM, not 20MM!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

The girl’s eyes immediately reddened as she apologized.

“Hmph, if you’re so capable, load it yourself. Why make things difficult for a girl?”

Chen Tong said mockingly with cold words. Of course, he said this partly because he couldn’t stand Li Fubai’s attitude. The other reason was that no one was loading ammunition for him, and this guy was being picky.

“Chen Tong, shut your mouth.”

Li Fubai replied impolitely.

“It’s all my fault, Brother Fubai, please don’t be angry. I’ll change it for you right away.”

The girl quickly said.

Chen Tong was also speechless. Which of the other logistics personnel wasn’t acting arrogant right now? This girl was truly a sycophant, insisting on fawning over him and seeking abuse.

He really didn’t know what was so good about this pretty boy?

Just then, the broadcast sounded.

“Dear students, I am Captain Monsi. I will lead you to victory. You must listen to me—”

“Get lost! I’m the chief commander! Don’t listen to him blabbering. Listen to me, I’ll lead you to victory.”

“Move aside!”

“You move aside!”

For a moment, everyone in the hangar was speechless, secretly cursing.

“They’re really a bunch of idiots.”

Click!

Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out.

Su Ming controlled the ironhead mech to full power, struggling violently and forcibly detaching the restraints.

Rumble~

The damaged restraints heavily crashed onto the ground.

“Su Ming, what are you doing? Don’t mess around.”

Zhao Ran was startled by Su Ming’s actions.

“Resupply yourselves. Don’t count on them.”

Su Ming controlled the mech, rushing towards weapon rack #1 in the southeast corner at an extremely fast speed.

Zhao Ran looked at Su Ming’s fluid operation and immediately said in disbelief,

“Su Ming, how did your operation become so smooth?”

“I don’t know!”

Chen Tong steeled his heart and also imitated Su Ming, forcibly breaking free from the restraints, then wobbled towards the weapon rack.

“Wait for me.”

Seeing this, Zhao Ran could only steel herself and break free from the restraints.

Lin Chuyu, Li Fubai, and the others, seeing this, simply broke free from the restraints as well. Relying solely on the logistics students for resupply was truly too slow.

They couldn’t even operate the resupply machines properly, and communication was also very difficult.

At this time, Su Ming rushed to weapon rack #1. He quickly scanned it, and the rack was full of ordinary XS-01 heavy explosive machine guns. These were the unmodified versions; as long as the safety was disengaged, they could fire continuously.

Su Ming did not take these weapons. He keenly noticed a DS-01 electromagnetic mechanical gun at the very back of the weapon rack. It could fire high-power electromagnetic light bullets, causing mechanical targets to short-circuit and become paralyzed. Without a moment’s hesitation, he reached out and took it down, equipping it onto himself.

Immediately after, he took another XS-01 heavy explosive machine gun and hung it on his waist on the backup weapon module.

After doing all this, Su Ming rushed to the ammunition rack. He found that besides ammunition, the rack also held demolition charges and large smoke grenades.

Su Ming deftly picked up the demolition charges and smoke grenades, loaded them onto the mech, and finally filled up with ordinary ammunition.

Just as Su Ming was almost done loading, Chen Tong and Zhao Ran arrived belatedly. They looked at Su Ming, who had two weapons hanging on him, one of which was an electromagnetic mechanical gun, and couldn’t help but say,

“Su Ming, isn’t that a bit much? You’re armed to the teeth, even taking an electromagnetic mechanical gun.”

“It’s fine. You two hurry up and arm yourselves!”

After giving simple instructions to Chen Tong and the other, Su Ming immediately controlled the mech to turn and leave.

“Su Ming, where are you going?”

Zhao Ran looked at Su Ming in confusion.

“I’m going to do some preparations. You don’t need to worry. Just arm yourselves quickly and then come find me.”

Su Ming did not explain too much to Zhao Ran and the other.

He controlled the mech to run around the hangar, carefully observing the walls along the way.

Before long, Su Ming found the sealed exit in the hangar, and his gaze immediately fell on the control device to the right of the entrance.

He walked forward and carefully examined the control device.

At this moment, his display screen popped up an intelligent assist prompt.

“Exit control device is currently locked, requires manual unlocking by personnel in the command room.”

Su Ming glanced at it, then checked the surrounding metal walls.

Just then, Lin Chuyu’s mech walked beside Su Ming, asking with some confusion,

“Su Ming, what are you looking for?”
