. Chapter 162 The Final Moment (Part 2)

“You’re welcome, don’t get distracted!”

Su Ming was slightly startled when he heard the voice. Wasn’t that the senior Krestro? He immediately instructed Krestro and then charged towards the other Kirami.

It was a pity there were too many Kirami; no matter how many he killed, they kept coming, and their numbers were still increasing.

Su Ming’s team was about to be overwhelmed. At this rate, their annihilation was only a matter of time.

Of course, it wasn’t just Su Ming’s team facing this problem; almost all teams were on the verge of being overrun.

“Squad Leader, what should we do? It hasn’t been long, and we can’t hold on!”

Rhine and the others said anxiously. They weren’t afraid of death, but they couldn’t just die so easily. They had to at least prove their worth, or at least buy a little more time.

Hearing this, Su Ming decisively spoke in the communication channel.

“Everyone, don’t fight the Kirami head-on. The enemy’s numbers are too vast, and we are severely understaffed. Everyone listen to my command now: fight while moving in the opposite direction of the main force’s retreat. This way, we can create more space to survive and buy more time!”

“That’s a good idea, let’s do it!”

“Exactly, great idea!”

For a moment, all the students responded in agreement.

Su Ming then spoke to the members of his team.

“Form groups of five nearby and support each other! Fight while moving towards the right flank, and don’t engage the Kirami forces head-on.”

“Understood!”

Everyone immediately responded.

After Su Ming gave the order, he immediately called out names.

“Rhine, Anqi, Zhang Yi, Elu, you four will take the front with me to reduce the pressure on the others.”

“No problem!”

Rhine and the other three directly piloted their mechas and flew to Su Ming’s side.

The five of them held the very rear of the retreating right flank, taking on a relatively larger number of Kirami.

It must be said that the suggestion Su Ming put forward played a very good role, both drawing the Kirami in the opposite direction and gaining space for dodging and entanglement.

Although it was still a one-sided battle, the rate of casualties significantly decreased.

However, this was ultimately a temporary solution, as a large number of Kirami continued to surge in.

All the first-year students and the mothership responsible for interception were completely surrounded by the Kirami forces. Looking around the entire starry sky, as far as the eye could see, there were Kirami flying past at high speed everywhere.

And the Kirami surrounding them began to frantically attack everyone and the mothership, with countless beams of light shooting from all angles.

“Ah~”

Screams echoed in the communication channel, and mechas and fighters exploded one after another.

Although it was a simulated competition, the pain was one hundred percent real.

Listening to the constant screams in the communication channel, Su Ming forcefully thrust his gun into the body of an II Type Elite Class · Quilami, then flung it away.

He panted as he looked around, only to see explosions everywhere. Of the students responsible for interception, fewer than five hundred remained alive; it could be said that less than one in ten survived.

Su Ming’s team now had only twenty-four members left alive, and the Kirami surrounding them were continuously tightening their encirclement.

For a moment, Su Ming’s mind was somewhat dazed, feeling a sense of a hero at the end of his rope.

At this moment, a dead II Type Chirami suddenly came back to life, lunging at Su Ming’s back.

“Watch out!”

Rhine and the others warned Su Ming.

Su Ming was also startled, abruptly reacting. Just as he was about to pilot his mecha to dodge—

Swoosh!

A beam of light struck, hitting that Kirami and destroying it!

Su Ming was slightly stunned and looked over, only to see a Second Generation Mecha · Raider flying over, followed by nine mechas of the same model.

At this moment, Lin Chuyu’s voice sounded in the communication channel.

“Su Ming, are you alright!”

“I’m fine, Chu Yu.”

Su Ming replied calmly.

“Oh, it’s student Su Ming, we meet again. You’re a bit careless, getting distracted on the battlefield is a big taboo, you know.”

Bekahn said with a smile.

“My mistake, sorry.”

Su Ming replied calmly.

“I just don’t understand, why are we running over to rendezvous with them? Shouldn’t we be looking for an opportunity to break through first?”

At this moment, an arrogant voice sounded in the communication channel.

Before Lin Chuyu could speak, Bekahn said humorously,

“A Jica, we can’t run anyway, so why not come over and chat.”

“You, hmph!”

A Jica was speechless for a moment.

At this time, Rhine and the others, panting, piloted their mechas back to Su Ming’s side and said,

“Squad Leader, what do we do now? We really can’t hold on any longer.”

“That’s right, everyone’s almost dead.”

Qin Feng also piloted his mecha closer.

After hearing their words, Su Ming lowered his head and glanced at the timer on the operation screen. They had already held off the enemy for over twenty minutes. Calculating the time, it should be about right; the main force should have successfully broken through and escaped.

There was no point in them continuing to hold on. So, Su Ming spoke out in the communication channel.

“Everyone, we have held on for 21 minutes and 34 seconds. Calculating the time, the main force should have already broken through. There’s no need for us to keep fighting to the death. Now we can force a breakthrough.”

“How do we break through? We’re completely surrounded.”

“There are Kirami everywhere.”

In the communication channel, the unwilling voices of Puli and others echoed.

“Charge! There’s still a glimmer of hope. If we don’t charge, we’ll definitely die. We might as well take a gamble.”

Su Ming said with great determination.

“Student Su Ming is right. Even if we die, we shouldn’t die in a cowardly way. If we’re going to die, let it be on the path of a charge!”

Lin Chuyu also spoke up in the communication channel.

“I like this suggestion!”

Bekahn echoed with a smile.

“Damn it, let’s fight them! Everyone gather and make a stand!”

Puli and the others also went all out. Anyway, they had already completed their interception mission, so dying was fine!

“Alright!”

Everyone responded one after another.

So, the remaining mechas gathered and launched a charge towards the relatively weaker direction straight ahead.

They continuously fired at the Kirami, and one Kirami after another fell.

However, in the next second, overwhelming numbers of Kirami swept in, launching an attack on Su Ming and the others.

Dense beams of light rained down like a storm.

Boom! Boom! Boom!~

After one wave, more than thirty mechas were directly blown up, and the charge was immediately halted.

“It’s over!”

Seeing this scene, everyone’s hearts instantly turned cold. The disparity between the enemy and them was simply too great.

In the Du Mu’s command room, Chen Qian sighed deeply as he looked at the scene before him, then said with firm eyes,

“Everyone, it’s the final moment.”

The remaining students looked at Chen Qian in confusion.

“Pass on my order: unleash all remaining missiles and destroy all Kirami in front of our ship!”

“Yes!”

Although everyone was very puzzled, they still complied.

At this moment, the Du Mu, which was being besieged, had its launch ports on the hull open in clusters, and short-range missiles poured out one after another.
