Chapter 135: Something’s Amiss (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader ‘Open the Door and Deliver Express’) (Fifth Chapter)

Outside the Black Rock Storage Base.

Ryne and the others anxiously stood on their tiptoes, constantly peering towards the main gate to see if Teacher Mia had come out yet.

“Why hasn’t she come out yet?”

“Yeah.”

Su Ming waited patiently. Although Teacher Mia’s actions were very unconventional, she was generally quite reliable.

Therefore, he felt that Teacher Mia probably had some confidence, but whether there were other pitfalls was hard to say.

Just then, Mia and Aksu walked out of the storage base.

“Look, Teacher is out!”

An Qi and the others shouted happily.

“There’s also an officer with Teacher! This looks promising!”

Ryne and the others were more excited than the last.

Mia then waved at Su Ming and the others, signaling them to come over.

Su Ming immediately led Ryne and the others over.

Soon, they gathered at the main gate, and Mia directly spoke to Su Ming and the others.

“Follow me. Oh, Aksu, hurry up and bring the Mecha over.”

“Okay, okay, right away.”

Aksu’s smile was uglier than a cry.

So, Mia led Su Ming and the others, swaggering into the Black Rock Storage Base.

“Wow, it’s so big and spacious inside!”

Elu and the others exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course. This place is for storage, so the space must be wide enough.”

Mia explained simply.

At this moment, Su Ming and the others saw Second Generation Mecha Iron Guards standing guard, walking past them, all gathering towards an open area ahead.

“Teacher, why are so many Mecha gathering in the open space ahead? What are they doing?”

Zhang Yi asked curiously.

Mia yawned and said,

“What else could they be doing? Of course, they’re delivering Mecha to you.”

Upon hearing this, Su Ming and the others’ expressions were incredibly vivid, their eyes wide as they looked at Mia.

“Tea-Teacher, we’re using the soldiers’ Mecha?”

“To be precise, they are the sergeants’ Mecha. They aren’t soldiers, you know. How could a soldier pilot a Second Generation Mecha?”

Mia corrected them very thoughtfully.

“Is this okay? What if we accidentally break them?”

Su Ming and the others looked at Mia, exchanging glances.

“What are you afraid of? Just practice first!”

Mia said indifferently.

Although Ryne and the others were extremely flustered, they had gotten used to it, so no one else spoke up.

Soon, they arrived at the open space ahead. At this moment, the sergeants, controlling their Mecha, neatly lined up, then had their Mecha squat down, opened the cockpits, and climbed out.

“One per person. Train according to the methods I taught you earlier.”

Upon hearing Mia’s words, Ryne and the others excitedly rushed forward.

The sergeants who had dismounted watched these students rush towards their Mecha with complex expressions.

They wanted to remind these students to take care of their Mecha, but they remembered their officer’s instructions and could only leave silently.

At this moment, Su Ming also walked towards a Second Generation Mecha, but before he could take a few steps forward,

Mia called out to Su Ming.

“Su Ming, what are you doing?”

“Getting into the Mecha to train?”

Su Ming stopped, turned his head, and replied in confusion.

“What’s there to train with a Second Generation Mecha? Follow me!”

Mia waved her hand casually.

“Okay!”

Upon hearing this, Su Ming’s eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately followed Mia.

Mia then led Su Ming away. Not long after, they arrived at an independent hangar.

There were even dedicated soldiers guarding it, but they unconsciously ignored Mia and Su Ming, allowing the two to enter unimpeded.

After Su Ming and Mia entered the hangar, they immediately saw a very striking Mecha facing them.

This Mecha was enormous, standing eighteen meters tall, covered entirely in thick, heavy grey metal armor. A large-caliber cannon barrel was embedded in its left shoulder, two large-caliber thruster nozzles protruded from its back, and it held a fifteen-meter-long heavy alloy greatblade in its hand.

In addition, its chest was painted with two black stars and one red star emblem.

“This Mecha? Can it really be piloted?”

Su Ming asked in surprise. One should know that Zhou Hao, who piloted the Azure Wing Mecha in the Thirteenth District, only had one star painted on his.

From this, it could be seen that the owner of this Mecha was certainly not simple.

“Nonsense! When did you become so indecisive? Get in and pilot it!”

Mia took out a key and threw it to Su Ming, saying impatiently.

Su Ming took a deep breath, steeled himself, and walked in front of the Mecha.

The suspension device was immediately activated, and he floated in front of the Mecha. He reached out, opened the cockpit, and climbed inside.

At this moment, Mia reminded Su Ming.

“This Third Generation Mecha is called the Tyrant Tiger. It’s the complete opposite of the Azure Wing Mecha you piloted before. This is a heavy Mecha, very suitable for close-quarters combat, but its drawbacks are also obvious: it lacks agility. However, its explosive power is immense, and to compensate for its mobility shortcomings, this Mecha is also equipped with heavy long-range firepower!”

“Okay.”

Su Ming did not close the cockpit. Instead, he listened to Mia’s introduction while familiarizing himself with the internal control panel and auxiliary switches.

“Oh, I forgot to remind you of one more thing: this Mecha is fully loaded with live ammunition. You absolutely must not press that.”

Mia suddenly remembered and said.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming froze for a moment, then shouted at Mia.

“Teacher, hurry up and tell Ryne and the others! They don’t know the Mecha are loaded with live ammunition!”

“Uh, bad news!”

Mia froze for a moment, then immediately ran out.

—

Ten days later.

Black Rock Storage Base main gate.

Ten Iron Guard Mecha, holding burst rifles, stood tall and guarded the entrance.

At this moment, armored vehicles drove over. The Iron Guard Mecha responsible for guarding quickly opened the gate and saluted the armored vehicles.

These armored vehicles drove into the Black Rock Storage Base but did not head towards the main building. Instead, they drove directly to a giant storage facility nearby.

Soon, these armored vehicles parked at the entrance of the storage facility.

A middle-aged man wearing a colonel’s uniform with a centipede-like scar on his left cheek stepped out of the leading armored vehicle.

Immediately after, officers stepped out of the other armored vehicles.

“Colonel Suo Wei, aren’t we going directly to the main building, to the command room, to sit for a bit?”

At this moment, a man in a lieutenant colonel’s uniform, slightly overweight with pea-sized eyes, asked with a chuckle.

“No need. Since it’s an inspection, we must check from the bottom up. No detail can be missed. What? Wu Feng, do you lack confidence in your subordinates?”

“How could that be? The Black Rock Storage Base’s garrison commander is Morgans. He’s an elite among the Federation’s elites, who has achieved illustrious military exploits on the battlefield.”

Wu Feng lavished praise on Morgans.

“Hmm, let’s go!”

Colonel Suo Wei walked directly towards the entrance of the storage facility in front of him.

When they reached the entrance, the soldiers on guard all looked solemn, saluted Colonel Suo Wei and the others, and shouted in unison,

“Greetings, officers!”

“Hmm.”

Colonel Suo Wei nodded slightly and led his subordinates inside with an expressionless face.

However, he had only walked a few steps inside when he suddenly stopped.

Colonel Suo Wei felt like something was amiss. He subconsciously stepped back.

Wu Feng and the others were also confused and followed him back.

Colonel Suo Wei retreated to the main entrance. He looked at the guarding soldiers, then asked in bewilderment,

“You’re just guarding like this?”

“Yes, sir!”

The guarding soldiers replied nervously.

“Is there a problem? Isn’t this guarding quite well?”

Wu Feng asked in confusion.

“Mecha! Shouldn’t Mecha be guarding this place? Why are humans guarding it?”

Colonel Suo Wei asked in bewilderment.

“Oh, right! Where are your Mecha?”

Wu Feng suddenly realized, his face darkening as he asked.
