Chapter 57 Invitation

Along the way, Chen Tong nervously looked around, and at the slightest movement, he would quickly open fire and sweep.

Su Ming immediately reminded Chen Tong.

“Don’t be so nervous that you see enemies everywhere; that makes it easier for problems to arise.”

“Understood.”

Chen Tong nervously gripped his weapon, constantly surveying his surroundings. Although he kept reminding himself that this was just a virtual exam,

the high degree of simulation and realistic tactile feedback made him subconsciously believe it was a real battlefield.

Su Ming and Chen Tong advanced cautiously. Just as they had walked a certain distance, a barrage of dense firepower shot out from buildings in all directions without warning.

Ding ding!

Bullets struck Iron Head, sending sparks flying.

“Enemy attack! Counterattack quickly, no, hide quickly, find nearby cover!”

Chen Yu and the others were instantly in a state of extreme panic, scrambling around to find cover.

“Ah!”

Accompanied by screams, several unlucky individuals were hit in vital areas and fell directly to the ground, their blood staining a large area of the land.

For a moment, the rest of the people became even more chaotic.

Su Ming’s eyes narrowed. He turned his head and scanned around, only to see various household robots, holding firearms, emerging from the surrounding broken steel buildings and blind spots, launching attacks against them.

He immediately turned his gun and swept fire at these household robots.

Bang bang!

One household robot after another, along with their cover, were explosively destroyed with overwhelming force.

“They’re asking for death!”

Chen Tong also followed suit, sweeping fire.

However, more and more household robots appeared from all directions, some of them holding rocket launchers and firing at them.

Chen Tong didn’t pay attention for a moment, and a rocket hit his shoulder, causing his entire mech to stumble sideways.

“Damn it!”

Chen Tong angrily turned and swept fire, instantly blowing up the household robot holding the rocket launcher.

But even so, the situation was becoming increasingly grim.

“So terrifying!”

“We’re dead this time.”

Chen Yu and the others hid under damaged vehicles on the street, their faces filled with terror.

Just then, a roar suddenly came from the sky, followed by ten Iron Heads descending like divine soldiers.

These descending Iron Heads unleashed a violent barrage of fire on the household robots.

Bang bang~

One household robot after another was blown up.

Su Ming was slightly surprised, not expecting these descending Iron Heads to come to their aid.

However, with their help, their firepower was directly overwhelming.

Not long after, the last household robot was brutally crushed by the leading ironhead mech’s foot.

“We’re saved!”

Chen Yu and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the leading ironhead mech, holding an MQ-01 grenade launcher, led nine ironhead mechs and walked very imposingly in front of Su Ming and Chen Tong.

Then a loud voice rang out.

“Brothers, are you alright?”

“We’re fine, thank you for your support.”

Su Ming thanked them very politely. Although he and Chen Tong could also deal with these household robots, it would definitely take some effort.

“No big deal! Let me introduce myself, I am Xiang Shu from Class 1 of Haiheng Academy’s Mech Department. How should I address you two?”

Xiang Shu asked cheerfully.

“My name is Su Ming, and next to me is my classmate Chen Tong. We are from Minte Academy.”

Su Ming introduced himself neither humbly nor arrogantly.

“So you’re from the Third Academy. Do you brothers have a team? Would you like to join us and fight together?”

Xiang Shu directly invited Su Ming and Chen Tong.

Chen Tong immediately looked at Su Ming, seeking his opinion.

Su Ming’s gaze swept over Xiang Shu and the others, he hesitated for a few seconds, then agreed.

“Okay!”

Although Su Ming preferred to fight alone, it was a pity that their main mission was to defend Manhawei Interstellar Military Airport. This mission looked very much like a team cooperation mission, and the more people there were, the higher the survival rate.

“Excellent! From now on, we are a team.”

Xiang Shu replied very happily.

“What about us, what about us?”

At this moment, Chen Yu and the others hurriedly popped out and shouted.

Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Yu and the others, directly ignoring them. In his eyes, these ground soldiers were trash.

“Hehe, you, you can go wherever you want.”

Standing to Xiang Shu’s left, an Iron Head carrying a slender sniper mechanical gun waved his hand dismissively, saying with utter disdain.

And the Iron Head on the right, holding a CI-01 assault mechanical gun, said contemptuously.

“Qi Duo, why are you wasting words with these burdens? Didn’t you see that Big Brother is ignoring them?”

“Got it, Shi Wu!”

Qi Duo replied casually.

Su Ming glanced at them. If he wasn’t mistaken, this Qi Duo and Shi Wu should be Xiang Shu’s subordinates. The others who didn’t speak were most likely people he had teamed up with later.

“Let’s not talk about that anymore. Time is short; let’s prepare to head towards the Interstellar Military Airport.”

Xiang Shu said straightforwardly to Su Ming and Chen Tong.

“Okay!”

Su Ming and Chen Tong agreed.

Xiang Shu immediately waved his hand, giving the command.

“Follow standard assault tactics, spread out in a triangle formation, and advance steadily! I’ll lead the way, Su Ming and Chen Tong, you two are responsible for the left flank.”

“Okay!”

Su Ming and Chen Tong immediately walked towards the left side.

Soon, they advanced in a triangular formation. As for Chen Yu and the others, although Xiang Shu didn’t want them to follow, they still shamelessly tagged along.

“This is Di Yan Star, the fallen Manhawei Base City. Various buildings stand tall, and the terrain is very complex. Be especially careful not to be ambushed.”

Xiang Shu constantly reminded everyone in the communication channel.

“Yes, Big Brother!”

Shi Wu and the others replied one after another.

Su Ming listened to Xiang Shu’s reminder and felt it was very good. This guy did have a certain level of military knowledge.

At this moment, Su Ming’s operation interface popped up a notification.

“Notification: You have joined the Hunter’s Fang Tactical Squad.”

“Notification: Hunter’s Fang Tactical Squad members are as follows: Captain: Xiang Shu, Vice-Captain: Qi Duo, Members: Zhou Li, Lu Ying.”

Su Ming glanced at the names of the team members, then refocused his attention on vigilance.

They walked forward all the way, and as far as their eyes could see, there were shattered buildings and roads, and they could even see shattered monorails lying on the ground.

Moreover, every now and then, they could see in the ruins one or two broken mechs, eight meters tall, with a symmetrical body covered in red metal armor, holding a thick mechanical blade in their hands.

“Big Brother Xiang Shu, what about these mechs?”

In the squad’s communication channel, a sweet voice rang out.

“Zhou Li, you don’t understand, do you? These damaged mechs are all first-generation mechs, Iron Steed, that guarded Di Yan Star. But looking at this situation, the battle here must have been really brutal.”

Xiang Shu said with great emotion.

“So everyone here is dead?”

Zhou Li immediately followed up with a question.

“No, if we follow history, the surviving civilians of Manhawei Base City should be hiding underground right now. But if we don’t retake Manhawei Interstellar Military Airport within the specified time, then they’re doomed.”

Su Ming said calmly in the communication channel.
