Chapter 62: Quiet

Beyond that, no enemies were seen.

Su Ming then said to Chen Tong.

“Go!”

However, only static came through the communication channel.

Su Ming frowned and immediately opened the external speaker to ask Chen Tong.

“Chen Tong, can you hear me?”

“I can now. There seems to be interference here; wireless communication isn’t working.”

Chen Tong immediately opened his loudspeaker and responded.

“I understand. Let’s go!”

Su Ming controlled Iron Head, taking Chen Tong, and entered from Area B10, passing through the damaged barbed wire fence and walking into the smoke-filled Manhawei Interstellar Military Airport.

The once bustling airport had now become a tragic ruin. The ground, poured with special concrete, was pockmarked with craters and bloodstains.

Along the way, many damaged Iron Heads could be seen, as well as bodies blown to smithereens.

In the distance, even the wreckage of crashed ships burning with fierce flames could be seen.

At this moment, Su Ming stopped Iron Head, and Chen Tong, who was following behind, immediately tensed up and raised his firearm, asking.

“What’s wrong?”

“Look ahead!”

Su Ming reminded him in a low voice.

Chen Tong then looked out, only to see a steel watchtower toppled on the ground ahead, and around the watchtower, a large number of Iron Steeds and Iron Heads lay fallen.

“So many damaged Iron Steeds, could it be another ambush?”

Chen Tong felt a chill down his spine looking at so many fallen Iron Steeds; they had been ambushed by these guys in the city before.

“Go around!”

Su Ming was also unsure, so he decisively chose to take a detour.

“Mm, I also think taking a detour is safer.”

Chen Tong strongly agreed.

The two drove their Iron Heads, then bypassed this area, gradually moving deeper into the airport.

An hour later.

Su Ming and Chen Tong walked on the internal road of the airport. It was very quiet all around, with only an occasional explosion sound coming from afar.

And as they walked along the way, Su Ming and his companion didn’t see a single student, nor did they encounter any enemies.

Chen Tong asked Su Ming, somewhat puzzled.

“Su Ming, what’s going on with this airport? Why does it feel so eerie? Neither our side nor the enemy can be seen. Could it be that the students who landed perished with the enemies?”

“Do you think that’s possible?”

Su Ming didn’t believe such a good thing would happen; the probability was even lower than winning the lottery.

“If not, then aren’t we in trouble? We can’t possibly defend the military airport just the two of us, can we?”

Chen Tong asked, his scalp tingling.

“Be mentally prepared for that.”

Su Ming sighed and cautiously continued to explore deeper with Chen Tong. To be honest, he was also feeling eerie now; the situation here was completely different from what he had previously envisioned.

Just as Su Ming and Chen Tong were exploring forward, from under the body of a damaged Iron Head behind them, that spider-like Lingxi crawled out.

Its red electronic eyes looked in Su Ming’s direction.

The visual image in the electronic eye continuously expanded, and Su Ming and Chen Tong’s two Iron Heads were directly locked on.

“Target: Second Generation Mecha·Flame Rider killed. Danger level judged as high.”

“Erase!”

The visual image began to shrink, and the Interstellar Military Airport map appeared.

Zzz~

Within the Interstellar Military Airport map, red dots of various sizes lit up out of thin air, and Iron Steeds and mechanical spiders in a dormant state were awakened.

Then all the red dots drew a red line, locking onto Su Ming and Chen Tong.

At this moment, dense red dots on the map moved towards Su Ming and Chen Tong.

After the spider-like Lingxi finished all this, it turned and crawled away.

Manhawei Interstellar Military Airport·Area B5.

A lighthouse-like command tower stood prominently, and to the right of the lighthouse was a giant square steel platform.

Twenty Iron Heads, and more than twenty ground combat students stood on top of the building.

Creak~

Accompanied by a deflating sound, the cockpits of three crouching Iron Heads opened.

Li Fubai, Lin Chuyu, and Sun Yue nimbly climbed down.

“Wu Bo, you guys watch here, notify us immediately if anything happens.”

Li Fubai said to an Iron Head beside him.

“No problem, Brother Li!”

Wu Bo replied fawningly.

Li Fubai and the two others held their rifles and walked towards the command tower. This building was close to the command tower, with a door that led directly inside the command tower.

The three passed through the door, found the emergency staircase, and carefully climbed up.

Their luck was very good; they didn’t encounter any enemies along the way and successfully reached the command room.

The vast command room was a mess, chairs were toppled everywhere, and bodies in work uniforms lay on the ground, blood staining nearly half of the command room floor.

However, fortunately, the control panel was intact, and the screen was still lit.

Li Fubai handed his gun to Sun Yue.

“Hold this for me.”

“Okay!”

Sun Yue immediately took it.

Li Fubai walked to the control panel and tried to open the information retrieval box.

As a result, a key verification prompt box popped up, requiring identity verification due to prolonged disuse.

“A key is needed.”

Lin Chuyu said, frowning as she looked at the screen.

“It’s fine, this system is a hundred years old. Although it’s troublesome to crack, it’s not a problem.”

Li Fubai skillfully brought up the emergency command box and entered a string of codes.

“So amazing, but why are we cracking this? What’s the use for us in defending the airport?”

Sun Yue asked Li Fubai, somewhat confused.

“The enemies in the airport are stronger than we imagined, and there are many of them. The students who landed in the airport are basically all dead. If we want to clear the main mission and get a high score, our current weapons won’t be able to do it. We need top-tier weapons. And in this military airport, there must be advanced weapons. As long as I crack the system and find the relevant information, we will have hope to break the situation.”

Li Fubai logically analyzed it for Lin Chuyu and Sun Yue.

“Amazing, as expected of you! You found the key to breaking the situation so quickly.”

Sun Yue was very excited; she finally saw hope.

“Actually, it’s nothing. We are taking the City Exam, not actual combat. The higher-ups won’t give us a situation where we’re bound to die; they will definitely provide a corresponding way out.”

Li Fubai added confidently.

“Mm.”

Lin Chuyu nodded indifferently.

At this moment, Li Fubai successfully cracked it, and an information retrieval box popped up.

He quickly entered the command, and a series of search results rapidly appeared.

Li Fubai looked at the information, a look of wild joy on his face.

“Found it! As I expected, this Interstellar Military Airport still stores unactivated advanced weapons.”

“What kind of weapon?”

Lin Chuyu and Sun Yue simultaneously looked at Li Fubai.

“The Interstellar Airport Guard Captain’s Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight! The location is in the hangar in central Area B2. Let’s go!”

Li Fubai excitedly stretched out his hand, pointing to the Interstellar Airport map that appeared on the screen.

“Okay!”

Lin Chuyu and the other had no hesitation in responding.
