Chapter 69: Activation

At this moment, Gun Knight’s red electronic eyes suddenly lit up, and an energy barrier immediately activated.

Bang! Bang!

Dense bullet rain landed on the energy barrier, causing the entire barrier to instantly become precarious.

Just then, Li Fubai and the two others simultaneously attacked from both sides, their red alloy blades striking the energy barrier.

“Break for me!”

Li Fubai roared.

Crack!

The energy barrier instantly shattered, dissolving into specks of light.

Li Fubai saw the energy barrier shattered by them, and a look of wild joy appeared on his handsome face.

However, at this moment, Gun Knight’s head slightly lifted, its right foot stepped forward, and it swung its red metal spear in a 360-degree sweep!

“Careful!”

Lin Chuyu controlled her mecha to raise her red alloy blade to block, while also issuing a warning!

Clang!

Accompanied by a violent collision sound.

Li Fubai and the two others’ mechas retreated step by step, their hearts filled with shock, as they were forced back by just one attack.

However, they did not flinch. After all, they had the numerical advantage now, as long as they could hold Gun Knight in a frontal engagement.

Wu Bo and the others could slowly wear it down with continuous fire. Although the Third Generation Mecha’s armor was very sturdy, its strength was limited.

So Li Fubai shouted to Wu Bo and the others.

“Full power fire!”

“Alright!”

Wu Bo and the others were about to concentrate fire for another round.

However, a dense rain of bullets came from all directions, hitting them in the back, causing them to stagger forward.

They turned their heads back in horror, only to see swarms of mechanical spiders and Iron Steeds wielding burst machine guns appearing from all directions, surrounding them.

“Brother Li, we’ve been tricked, we’re surrounded.”

Wu Bo shouted in horror.

“Damn it.”

Li Fubai was both surprised and angry; he didn’t expect the opponent to be so cunning, using himself as bait.

Lin Chuyu calmly said, “Wu Bo, you take four Flame Riders and block the enemies surrounding us.”

“But we won’t be able to hold them off like this!”

Sun Yue had no confidence at all.

“We have no choice now, we can only fight with our backs to the wall!”

Lin Chuyu said fearlessly.

“Wu Bo, do as Chu Yu says!”

Li Fubai had no choice; they could only rely on themselves now.

“Okay, okay.”

Wu Bo and the others immediately turned around and fiercely fired at the surrounding Iron Steeds.

At this moment, Gun Knight elegantly raised the red long spear in its hand and pointed it at Li Fubai and the four others. Instantly, the pressure on the five surged, each facing a formidable enemy.

“Charge!”

Lin Chuyu’s eyes were firm as she controlled her mecha to charge forward.

Li Fubai, Sun Yue, and the others also went all out; they had no retreat.

On the other side, B3 Storage Area.

Su Ming and Chen Tong used a loader to open a huge metal sealed box painted with the Lomoske Interstellar Heavy Industry mark.

A brand new Gun Knight appeared before their eyes.

“Wow, it’s truly beautiful, but it’s just virtual data. If I could really own a Third Generation Mecha, I’d be rich!”

Chen Tong’s face was filled with an excited smile.

“Indeed, if only it were real. But even in the virtual world, it’s good to get a feel for it. Chen Tong, let me operate this mecha.”

Su Ming said with some excitement.

“No problem, but can you operate it? I heard Third Generation Mechas are very difficult to control.”

Chen Tong asked with some concern.

“Should be fine!”

Su Ming replied confidently.

“Alright then, I’ll send you up!”

Chen Tong then used the loader to send Su Ming to the mecha cockpit.

Su Ming reached out and found the hidden activation switch for the cockpit.

Click!

The cockpit opened immediately, and Su Ming agilely climbed inside.

He first looked at the seat, where he saw a tightly sealed metal box.

Su Ming opened the sealed box, and inside was a start-up key, along with a Gun Knight parameter and instruction manual.

He picked them up and quickly went through the specific parameters of the Gun Knight.

After a general understanding, Su Ming closed the cockpit and inserted the mechanical key into the keyhole on the control panel.

Buzz!

As Su Ming started it, the power output device began to work.

Compared to Iron Head’s huge noise when starting, this Gun Knight was very quiet; the crystal energy power unit’s output was very stable and silent.

Don’t let it fool you, even though this mecha product is a hundred years old, it would still be a treasure even in the current Old Federation.

At this moment, inside the cockpit, blue light strips on the walls lit up, and prompts popped up on the control screen.

“System Initializing!”

“Initialization Successful.”

“Self-checking.”

Immediately after, Gun Knight’s electronic eyes lit up.

Su Ming carefully examined the mecha’s operating system and then breathed a sigh of relief. Although this Superstar operating system had slight differences from what they had learned, the core was the same.

He then gently pulled the control stick, and the entire Gun Knight moved slightly.

Su Ming then gradually increased the power, quickly adapting to the new mecha.

“How is it?”

Chen Tong saw Su Ming successfully start the mecha and immediately shouted.

“No problem, I’ll help you dismantle a mecha!”

Su Ming controlled Gun Knight, holding the red metal spear, and walked out of the metal sealed box somewhat uncoordinatedly.

Chen Tong saw Su Ming controlling the mecha walking a bit crookedly, and he asked with some worry.

“Su Ming, are you sure it’s okay?”

“No problem, a new mecha definitely needs some getting used to. Just give me some time.”

After Su Ming finished speaking, he controlled Gun Knight and walked step by step towards the nearest metal sealed box.

At this moment, if one observed carefully, it could be seen that the mecha Su Ming was operating, which was initially crooked, was now walking normally.

Soon, Su Ming controlled the mecha to come before the metal sealed box. He controlled the mecha to reach out and forcefully pry open the cover, and soon a brand new Flame Rider was revealed.

“Come up!”

Su Ming controlled the mecha to squat down and extended its hand towards Chen Tong.

Chen Tong climbed onto the palm, and Su Ming sent him to the Flame Rider’s chest. He nimbly opened the cockpit and entered.
