Chapter 168: Planning (Extra Chapter for Alliance Master Flowing Fire in a Dream) (Third Update)

“There are Kirami everywhere outside, and we only have this many people left. If we run into groups of Kirami again, we don’t know if we can break through, let alone find the main force.”

Qin Feng said with some concern.

“We can’t keep hiding here either. Let’s go out and try our luck. If it doesn’t work out and we encounter monsters, we’ll kill as many as we can. It’ll be like grinding points! It’s just a bit of a shame, since we worked so hard to break in.”

Bekahn replied regretfully.

At this moment, Su Ming, who had been silent, spoke calmly.

“You should first check the status of your mechs. See how much ammunition you have left and how many fuel rods are remaining.”

Bekahn and the others were also startled and quickly checked the status of their mechs.

“No way, my ammunition clip is only one-tenth full, and that’s not even counting the fuel, which is also almost gone.”

Qin Feng’s classmate, Bati, exclaimed in surprise.

An Ruoxue and the others fell silent. Their situation was similar to Bati’s: ammunition was almost depleted, and fuel had reached the warning line.

Su Ming sighed inwardly. It was normal for ammunition to be exhausted. However, the fuel running low was related to a design flaw in the Infiltrator mech.

The concealed miniature beam cannon on the Infiltrator mech’s left arm did not use an independent energy clip but was directly powered by the mech’s body.

The advantages of such a design were self-evident, but the disadvantage was that the mech’s fuel consumption rate was much higher than that of similar mechs.

“Alas, our mechs feel like they’re about to be scrapped in this state.”

Yu Wei said with a sigh.

Rhine and the others also fell silent. The current situation was truly terrible.

At this moment, Lin Chuyu looked at Su Ming and asked,

“Su Ming, what should we do next?”

Su Ming thought for a moment and said to everyone in a deep voice,

“Our situation is very bad, but it’s not a dead end. If you still want to fight in this competition, then we need to carefully plan our next step and maximize the use of our remaining resources.”

“Of course we want to! Since we’re participating in this competition, we must fight until the last moment. Even if we die on the way, it will be glorious!”

Lin Chuyu said without any hesitation.

“Exactly, so just put forward whatever plan you have.”

Bekahn echoed with a smile.

“I agree. We worked so hard to get in here; if we don’t do something, it would be a huge loss.”

Rhine and the others also expressed their agreement.

“Very good. Let’s first look at the map. These mechs have pre-installed maps of Taiboken Planet. Let’s first confirm our current location.”

Su Ming didn’t waste any words and spoke to everyone simply and clearly.

Lin Chuyu and the others opened their built-in maps to find their current location.

Within a few minutes, they all found their precise location. It had to be said that Su Ming and his team were quite lucky. Although they had landed on the planet in a rush, their landing position had a significant deviation. However, the distance to Taiboken Base City was not very far, only a little over three hundred kilometers.

“Haha, there really is a way out of every predicament. We’re not far from the Base City. Should we just go there directly?”

Zhang Yi suggested, overjoyed.

“No, our current state is too poor. And Taiboken Base City has most likely fallen, with a massive number of Kirami entrenched there. Although we’re not afraid of death, we can’t just throw our lives away.”

Su Ming directly rejected Zhang Yi’s suggestion.

“Then what good ideas do you have?”

Qin Feng and the others asked rationally.

“I think we can consider Mox City, which is close to Taiboken Base City. Although this city is a bit small, it’s the closest to us. We can go in there and look for supplies!”

Su Ming looked at the map and gave his opinion.

“Feasible. Should we depart now and fly straight out?”

Qin Feng asked in agreement.

“No, there are most likely Kirami entrenched above us. We’ll follow the canyon back, pass through where we came down, and try to get as close as possible to Mox City before we go up.”

Su Ming gave the optimal solution.

“Alright!”

Bekahn and the others all agreed.

“Then let’s go.”

Su Ming then controlled his mech and led them back.

Soon after, one Raider mech after another flew out from the other side of the Great Rift Valley and landed steadily on the ground.

Su Ming and the others vigilantly scanned their surroundings and the sky.

There was no sign of a living person on the barren gray ground, and the sky was empty, with no sign of any Kirami.

“Safe!”

Rhine reported to Su Ming.

“We’ll fly low to the ground. Don’t fly too high; a large target will be discovered.”

Su Ming said to everyone in a deep voice.

Although this would make them slower, it would at least be safer. Their main priority now was stability.

After all, their mechs were in terrible condition and couldn’t withstand another fight.

“No problem!”

Lin Chuyu and the others nodded in response.

Su Ming then led the group, flying low towards Mox City.

A long time later, Su Ming and the others, controlling their mechs, arrived outside Mox City.

This was a city with a circular layout, and the entire city was severely damaged. Looking from afar, one could see buildings collapsed, piled on top of each other, with thick black smoke rising.

Rhine and the others looked at the ruined city before them, their nerves stretched to the limit. No one knew how many monsters and enemies were hidden within the city.

Su Ming took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said,

“Spread out a bit as you enter the city. Everyone be careful. Once you detect an anomaly, immediately notify on the communication channel and support each other nearby.”

“Alright!”

Lin Chuyu and the others responded in a deep voice, slightly widening their distance as they walked in.

Soon, they entered the city. The wide streets were filled with pits of varying sizes. From time to time, they could see many burnt-out hovercars, with only their metal frames remaining. Besides that, the ground was covered in scorched bloodstains.

Many of the surrounding buildings had collapsed, and there were ruins everywhere, with broken mechanical weapons lying on many of them.

However, the most bizarre thing was that Su Ming and the others walked for a long time without seeing a single Kirami parasite.

“Something’s not right. A city overrun by Kirami should be full of parasites everywhere. Why is it so quiet here?”

An Ruoxue said on the communication channel, puzzled.

“Could they be hiding?”

Qin Feng guessed uneasily.

“The situation is a bit abnormal. Everyone stay alert and be careful. Let’s explore further inside.”

Su Ming also felt it was strange. Not a single monster was present, which was very unusual, but now they could only grit their teeth and explore further.

“Alright!”

Bekahn and the others all responded.
