Chapter 186: Map (First Update)

“Hm? What’s wrong?”

Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue both noticed the change in Su Ming’s expression and walked over, curiously looking at the paper Su Ming had unfolded.

When they saw the hand-drawn map on the paper, they also exclaimed in surprise.

“A map!”

“That’s right, this is a hand-drawn map of the Terra Royal Base, and our current location should be here.”

Su Ming looked at the map in high spirits, having found their current location.

“Hm, from this hand-drawn map, it seems this Terra Royal Base actually has two levels, and we are currently still on the first level.”

Lin Chuyu said with surprise; this base was larger and more complex than they had imagined.

“That’s right, let’s take a good look at the structure of this base. This is the armory, the material storage, the living quarters…”

Su Ming carefully studied the map.

Although his current situation was very bad, if he could make good use of this map, he might be able to turn the tide.

Soon, the three of them finished looking at the entire map, and Lin Chuyu asked somewhat bewilderedly.

“Su Ming, what should we do next? Although we’ve figured out the base’s various structures, we have no target at all; we don’t know where to explore?”

“And given our current situation, it seems we can’t go anywhere, can we?”

An Ruoxue was also utterly helpless.

“It’s not entirely without a target. Look closely at this map. The first level is drawn very detailed, with basically all places marked. However, within the second-level map, there are two blank spots. Why would they be blank? There’s only one possibility: these two blank areas are confidential places, and the person who drew the map couldn’t get close to them at all.”

Su Ming analyzed calmly.

“That makes sense. Two choices, which one do we explore?”

An Ruoxue immediately became interested.

“This blank spot is located in the central area of the second level and covers a particularly large area. If there’s no surprise, this area should be the base’s secret laboratory, and the people from Amunx Academy and the monsters are targeting it. If we go there to join the fun, we’ll most likely become cannon fodder, so we’ll choose to explore the blank area on the side.”

Su Ming pointed directly to the blank area deep in the second level and said.

“Excellent analysis. So, how do we get down to the second level? Our bodies aren’t enough to be killed by monsters.”

An Ruoxue looked at Su Ming with a smile.

“It’s very simple. The path to the second level, besides the mecha-specific lift platforms, also has elevators for personnel. We can just take this elevator down.”

Su Ming pointed to the complex map.

An Ruoxue looked at Su Ming with a slight surprise. The map was densely packed with lines and simplified markings.

Even professional command students would find it extremely headache-inducing.

Su Ming was actually able to find the best route in such a short time. His memory and analytical skills, not going into the command department to become a commander, were truly a pity.

“Okay, then without further ado, let’s set off quickly.”

Lin Chuyu agreed.

“Hm, let’s go!”

Su Ming didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately led Lin Chuyu and the others away.

On the other side, Timmy led everyone desperately running forward. At this moment, the IV Type Lord Class · Kirami and the Fourth Generation Biological Mech – Sin Salamander were frantically chasing them, constantly launching attacks!

Beams of Kais Beam blasted the fleeing groups of mechas.

“Timmy, look ahead!”

Colonel Dilken shouted in a deep voice.

Timmy looked up and saw a very spacious area ahead. This area was home to huge square mechanical lift platforms, which seemed to lead to the second underground level.

Her expression changed, and then she gritted her teeth and gave the order.

“Everyone onto the mechanical lift platforms! Jane Lan, you take some people to intercept the pursuing monsters!”

In fact, Timmy didn’t want to give this order, but if she didn’t, everyone would die there.

“Yes!”

Jane Lan didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately led her personnel to stop, rushing back towards the pursuing monsters.

“Quick, onto the mechanical lift platforms.”

Timmy shouted to the crowd.

Eyin and the others all controlled their mechas and rushed towards the mechanical lift platforms.

Taiboken Base City Central Area.

Colonel Aslofa, piloting the IV Generation Mecha · Shadow Slayer, like a tireless beast, frantically swung his particle lightsaber, continuously striking at Begfins.

Begfins, controlling his mecha, continuously blocked and retreated, appearing to be completely suppressed.

In a flash, he was forced against a ruined building, with nowhere left to retreat!

“Die!”

Aslofa then over-frequency activated his particle lightsabers. The two particle lightsabers instantly turned red and elongated, followed by a violent sword strike towards Begfins.

Begfins held his breath, his expression tensed to the extreme, his eyes fixed on the incoming particle lightsaber.

He did not block Aslofa’s attack, and just as the particle lightsaber touched his mecha.

“Light Speed Flash!”

Begfins softly uttered four words.

Crack!

The red particle lightsaber instantly cut through the building in front of him, and the entire building tilted and collapsed.

“Not good!”

Aslofa’s heart trembled violently, instinctively feeling extreme danger.

At this moment, Begfins appeared out of thin air behind Aslofa, activating the over-frequency of the particle lightsaber in his hand, and softly said.

“Swift Wind Strike!”

Crack!

The entire particle lightsaber pierced into the Shadow Killer’s cockpit from the back, passing through Aslofa’s body.

Aslofa’s fanatical expression froze at this moment, replaced by calmness. He was genuinely defeated.

At this moment, the entire Tier 4 Mecha · Shadow Slayer completely lost power, and its electronic eyes dimmed.

Hiss~

Begfins pulled out the particle lightsaber from his hand, turned his head, and surveyed the entire battlefield area.

He saw mecha wreckage everywhere. Students from Royal Court Academy were clearing the battlefield, and if they encountered any Azure Sky Academy students who weren’t completely dead, they would decisively finish them off with another strike.

Begfins let out a long breath, controlled his mecha to walk beside Irelia, and calmly reported.

“Aslofa has been slain.”

“Very good. The other battles are almost over as well.”

“How many people do we have left?”

“We’ve suffered quite a few losses, but we still have over eight hundred mechas left. However, the remaining mechas are more than enough to stop the students from Amunx Academy, after all, most of these eight hundred surviving mechas are third-year students, our strongest core combat force.”

Irelia said to Begfins with great confidence.

“Alright.”

Begfins replied with a wry smile, not expecting to win in such a way in the end.

However, just then, a reconnaissance mecha flew over and landed in front of Irelia and Begfins, respectfully reporting.

“Sir, the students from Amunx Academy have already entered the Terra Royal Base through the main south gate.”
