Chapter 67: Conflict

“Alright, let’s get the mechas first. They’re in the warehouse up ahead!”

Chen Tong wasn’t overly rigid.

Su Ming and Chen Tong immediately sped up and ran over.

Not long after, Su Ming and Chen Tong rushed into the warehouse, where ten neatly arranged Flame Riders came into view.

“These are the ten! Aren’t they cool!”

Chen Tong said excitedly.

“Quick, pick any two.”

Su Ming said in an excellent mood.

Just as they randomly picked two mechas and were about to get in, a warning voice suddenly came from behind them.

“Stop!”

Immediately after, a group of people rushed in.

Su Ming and Chen Tong were startled and instinctively turned around, raising their rifles to aim at the people behind them. They then realized that these uninvited guests were Wu Bo and his group, along with a team of people they didn’t recognize.

“Brother Li! It’s those two guys.”

Wu Bo shouted excitedly.

At this moment, Li Fubai walked out from the crowd, his face grim as he looked at Su Ming.

Chen Tong was also startled and said to Su Ming with a hint of disbelief.

“Damn, wasn’t that guy’s mecha pierced through? He’s not dead?”

“You ask me, who should I ask?”

Su Ming was also very helpless.

In fact, Li Fubai’s mecha had indeed been pierced by the Gun Knight, but because he crossed his arms to block at the critical moment, although the Gun Knight’s long spear penetrated the cockpit, it stopped three inches in front of him.

As a result, Li Fubai was incredibly lucky to have survived. He then found an opportunity to abandon his mecha and escape through the artificial passage.

As for the others, seeing Li Fubai escape, they also voluntarily abandoned their mechas and fled.

“Hmph, it’s not that easy to kill me. Now it’s your turn to die.”

Li Fubai stared at Su Ming with a sinister gaze. He had almost been eliminated by the Gun Knight. Now that they were in his hands, there was no way he would let them go.

Chen Tong’s heart sank to the bottom when he heard Li Fubai’s words. He glanced at Su Ming, communicating with him through his eyes.

“No bullets in the gun! What do we do?”

Su Ming saw Chen Tong’s gaze and, of course, knew there were no bullets in the gun. But what could they do now? Even without bullets, they had to hold up the gun.

They only had two guns, and they couldn’t possibly contend with so many guns pointing at them.

However, Su Ming still bluffed.

“Chen Tong, you should know who to shoot later, right? We can’t beat them with so many guns, but taking one down with us shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“Understood, let’s get him!”

Chen Tong immediately understood and glared fiercely at Li Fubai.

Li Fubai’s expression changed slightly. He wasn’t wearing an exoskeleton armor. If these two guys really opened fire on him, he’d be done for.

Thinking of this, Li Fubai wanted to retreat.

But Su Ming warned him coldly.

“You’d best not move. If you move, we’ll open fire too!”

At these words, Li Fubai immediately stopped, looking at Su Ming with extreme anger.

“Su Ming!”

Wu Bo and the others were also in a difficult position for a moment. This was trouble. What was supposed to be an easy situation to control had now turned into Li Fubai being held hostage.

Just as both sides were at their most tense, ready to clash at any moment, Lin Chuyu walked over and shouted coldly.

“What are you doing?”

“Chu Yu, this has nothing to do with you.”

Li Fubai replied angrily.

“It truly has nothing to do with me, but you need to understand one thing. What is the crime of shooting your own comrades on the battlefield? Even if it allows you to reach the score line, Royal Court Academy will not admit you. Are you sure you want to do this?”

Lin Chuyu directly warned both parties.

Li Fubai’s expression kept changing as he listened to Lin Chuyu’s words.

“Brother Li? What do we do now? We can’t really kill them, can we? No school would admit us then.”

Wu Bo and the others all looked at Li Fubai, saying with great difficulty.

Li Fubai took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then spoke to Lin Chuyu.

“I didn’t intend to kill them, but there are only ten Flame Rider mechas here, and we still have twelve mecha pilots. We don’t even have enough for ourselves, so I won’t share them with them.”

“Damn it! Why not?! I found these first!”

Chen Tong’s lungs were about to explode with anger when he heard Li Fubai’s words, and he immediately wanted to rush forward and fight them.

Su Ming saw that Chen Tong was enraged and reached out his left hand to pull Chen Tong back.

“Don’t move! If you dare to move, don’t blame us for being impolite and opening fire. Don’t blame us then!”

Wu Bo and the others warned Su Ming and his companion by shaking their guns at them.

Li Fubai sneered, then said to the few surviving ground combat students beside him.

“Keep an eye on them. If they’re not sensible and insist on snatching our mechas, then we can’t be blamed!”

“Understood, Brother Li!”

These ground combat soldiers quickly responded.

They were still counting on Li Fubai to help them achieve a high score.

Li Fubai then put away his gun and said to Lin Chuyu.

“Chu Yu, let’s go get the mechas and then go out and surround and kill that Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight. That Gun Knight is the most crucial point for whether we can get into Royal Court Academy this time. Only by killing it can we hope to get enough points!”

“I understand.”

Lin Chuyu glanced back at Su Ming and his companion, then turned and walked inside.

Although the Third Generation Gun Knight was very strong, ten Second Generation Flame Riders attacking it together also had a chance to take it down.

Not long after, heavy footsteps echoed as Li Fubai, Lin Chuyu, and the others, piloting their Second Generation Mecha·Flame Riders, walked out.

As they passed by Su Ming, Li Fubai sneered mockingly.

“Take your time looking for mechas here. Let’s go!”

“Damn!”

Chen Tong was so angry his lungs were about to burst. If Su Ming hadn’t kept holding him back, he would have already gone all out.

Su Ming, on the other hand, watched Li Fubai and the others leave with a cold expression.

After they had gone far, Chen Tong stomped his foot in anger, then asked Su Ming.

“Damn it, if you hadn’t stopped me, I would have definitely killed him!”

“Did you forget we don’t have bullets in our guns?”

Su Ming sighed and replied.

“Uh…”

Chen Tong was speechless for a moment; he had forgotten about that.

“So what do we do now? They’ve taken all the Second Generation Mechas.”

“It’s fine. This underground storage is so big; we can look for more. There’s no need to fight them to the death; getting zero points would be troublesome then.”

Su Ming analyzed calmly.

“The problem is, where do we look?”

Chen Tong was also a bit disheartened. Their stamina had dropped significantly. And the best Second Generation Mechas had been taken by them. Even if they could find a mecha, at best it would only be a First Generation Mecha.

Su Ming was also a bit troubled for a moment, but then he suddenly thought of something and immediately said to Chen Tong.

“Chen Tong, follow me!”

“Okay.”

Although Chen Tong didn’t know what Su Ming was going to do, he followed him immediately.

Not long after, Su Ming led Chen Tong back to that workroom.

“Su Ming, what are we doing here?”

“Looking for advanced mechas!”

Su Ming replied simply and clearly.

Chen Tong was also very surprised. This workroom wasn’t big. Could there be advanced mechas here?
