Chapter 60: Lingxi

What Xiang Shu said was actually not wrong. Although they had lost three Iron Heads, they still had nine intact Iron Heads, as well as some ground combat soldiers.

If they worked together to gang up on this guy, their chances of winning were still very high, especially since Xiang Shu and his group had decent combat power.

“Then what are we waiting for? Focus fire on it!”

Chen Tong was the first to raise his weapon and fiercely spray Flame Rider with bullets.

Flame Rider jumped away to dodge the spray, swiftly like a leopard, circling to attack Su Ming and the others.

“It actually wants to get close? It’s really asking for death. Send it on its way!”

Xiang Shu also raised his grenade launcher and fired a shot.

He didn’t believe that with so many people focusing fire, this guy could dodge all of it.

Flame Rider swung its red metal mechanical blade, cleaving an incoming grenade in mid-air, and passed through the explosion flames with an unparalleled aura.

However, even so, it was still hit by the bullet rain from the others, causing sparks to fly!

“It’s working! Come on, kill it!”

Qi Duo shouted excitedly.

At this moment, the spider-like machine on the shoulder of the full-metal mech, Flame Rider, had its spherical head light up red.

The Iron Heads controlled by Xiang Shu, Qi Duo, and Shi Wu had their eyes turn red, and their muzzles suddenly turned towards Lu Ying and the others who were firing, and they fiercely pulled the triggers!

Whoosh!

A grenade exploded at close range on the Iron Head driven by Lu Ying, and even Su Ming took a burst of bullets.

“Ah, why are you shooting me?”

Lu Ying shouted in confusion.

“I don’t know! It’s out of control! Stop it!”

Xiang Shu looked at the red-screened control interface and replied in a panic.

Unfortunately, his Iron Head showed no signs of stopping, and another shot blasted Lu Ying’s chest.

Boom~

Lu Ying’s cockpit was instantly blown apart, and she was eliminated on the spot.

At the same time, an Iron Head next to Lu Ying also suffered, being swept by dense bullet rain and falling unwillingly.

“What the hell are you guys doing?!”

Chen Tong cursed loudly when he saw this scene.

At this moment, Shi Wu raised his muzzle towards Chen Tong and fired fiercely!

Chen Tong’s face turned green, and he controlled his mech to dodge, but even so, he couldn’t completely avoid it, taking several explosive rounds to his body.

The entire team was completely thrown into chaos.

Su Ming’s heart sank to the bottom. He quickly scanned the area and saw that not all mechs were out of control; only Xiang Shu and the two others were.

He immediately realized that these guys hadn’t turned off their intelligent auxiliary systems, no wonder they were all so impressive, even being able to lock onto and eliminate enemy snipers instantly.

In fact, the intelligent auxiliary system was a must-have for every mech a hundred years ago. It could not only real-time scan and monitor the surroundings for warnings but also perform combat corrections, significantly improving the combat level of operators.

But it was during this battle with the Mechanical Clan that the Old Federation encountered a new type of soldier from the Mechanical Clan: Lingxi.

The so-called Lingxi had no specific fixed form; it could be any mechanical weapon. The only difference was that they contained a special metal fire seed within them.

They could invade and control various intelligent mechanical weapons through both signal and physical means.

Su Ming immediately shouted to Xiang Shu and the two others.

“Quick, forcibly shut down the intelligent auxiliary system and switch to manual mode!”

Xiang Shu and the others quickly shut down the auxiliary system and switched to manual mode.

At this moment, Flame Rider had already rapidly attacked Xiang Shu and the others who were restarting. Su Ming, on the other hand, raised the electromagnetic gun in his hand, locking onto the spider-shaped Lingxi on Flame Rider’s shoulder.

As a result, that spider-shaped Lingxi discovered it was locked on, and immediately jumped down from Flame Rider’s shoulder.

Su Ming fiercely pulled the trigger, and an electromagnetic light bullet shot towards the spider-shaped Lingxi.

Unfortunately, Flame Rider decisively abandoned its advance to kill Xiang Shu and the others, swinging its red metal mechanical blade to cleave the electromagnetic light bullet.

Sizzle~

The scattering electronic light bullet covered Flame Rider. Its body swayed, somewhat affected, but it quickly returned to normal.

Before Su Ming could charge up and fire again, Flame Rider attacked at extreme speed.

“Damn it!”

Su Ming immediately switched to the explosive gun, retreating while firing at Flame Rider.

Flame Rider stomped the ground, and the entire mech leaped up, descending from high in the sky, irresistibly slashing at Su Ming.

Su Ming controlled his Iron Head to dive to the side, performing a clumsy roll, narrowly dodging the attack.

Chen Tong saw Su Ming in danger and immediately fired at Flame Rider.

Bang bang~

Flame Rider was hit a few times but immediately jumped away.

At this moment, Xiang Shu and the others successfully restarted their mechs, regained control, and quickly raised their weapons to fire fiercely at Flame Rider.

Unfortunately, without the help of the intelligent auxiliary system, their combat level instantly plummeted. They didn’t even know how to calculate recoil, and their muzzles were aimed who knows where.

The dense barrage of bullets swept past Flame Rider as if tracing its outline, not a single shot hitting.

In fact, it wasn’t that Xiang Shu and the others didn’t know they needed to turn off the intelligent auxiliary system, but rather that they were reluctant to, as turning it off would make them revert to their original state.

This Flame Rider turned its head to look at Xiang Shu and the two others, then rushed over at extreme speed.

“It’s coming for us.”

Qi Duo and Shi Wu retreated in panic.

Instead, Xiang Shu gritted his teeth, pulled out his red metal mechanical blade, and charged towards the attacking Flame Rider with full power.

The two mechs passed each other.

Crack!

Xiang Shu’s Iron Head was instantly decapitated, its round mechanical head flying off, and its massive mech body collapsed with a thud.

Flame Rider then immediately thrust its blade into the chest of Xiang Shu’s mech.

Crack~

Xiang Shu was directly eliminated.

“Oh my god! Run!”

Qi Duo, seeing Xiang Shu killed, was utterly terrified and turned to Shi Wu, shouting.

Shi Wu immediately ran away with Qi Duo.

The other two Iron Heads, seeing Shi Wu and the others run, also turned and fled without hesitation.

As for Chen Yu and the ground soldiers, they had long since disappeared.

Suddenly, only Su Ming and Chen Tong were left in the entire area.

“Damn it! These guys actually deserted!”

Chen Tong immediately cursed loudly.

“Don’t worry about them, Chen Tong, get out of the way, Flame Rider is coming for you.”

Su Ming rushed towards Chen Tong at extreme speed, simultaneously raising the electromagnetic mechanical gun in his hand and firing an electromagnetic light bullet at Flame Rider.

This Flame Rider seemed to have eyes in its back, swaying its body to dodge.

However, this bought Chen Tong time to react. He hastily retreated, raising his weapon and continuously firing.

Unfortunately, this still couldn’t stop Flame Rider. It rushed in front of Chen Tong with lightning speed, swinging its red metal mechanical blade, slashing at him diagonally.

Chen Tong’s left hand pulled out his red metal mechanical blade to block!

Clang!

Accompanied by sparks, the entire Iron Head mech kept retreating, and sparks flew from its arm joints.

Just as Chen Tong was about to give out, Su Ming attacked from the side, swinging his red metal mechanical blade at Flame Rider.

Flame Rider decisively abandoned its attack, taking a step back to create distance.

“What should we do? It’s just the two of us, and there’s no way to run.”

Chen Tong asked, breathing heavily.

Su Ming stared at Flame Rider and said gravely.

“What else can we do? Of course, we fight to the end. Chen Tong, don’t go head-to-head with it. Just provide long-range fire support for me.”
