Chapter 22 Actual Combat

Su Ming ran towards training mech No. 3, while Mink and Chen Tong rushed towards the remaining training mechs No. 4 and No. 5.

The four of them swiftly stepped onto the mechanical bricks and entered the training mech’s cockpit.

Just as Su Ming adjusted his seat and activated the safety buckle device, preparing to start the mech, he suddenly felt his phone vibrating continuously in his pocket.

Su Ming took out his phone from his pocket and found that it was his mother calling. She had called many times, so he answered immediately.

“Hello?”

“Oh, my son, you finally answered! Are you alright? Your father and I were so worried.”

Zhao Ning’s voice was tinged with a hint of a sob.

“I’m fine, I’m very safe inside the Iron Head.”

“Iron Head?”

“It’s the training mech!”

Su Ming briefly explained.

“As expected of my son, so smart!”

Su Yuan quickly leaned over to the phone, speaking with immense joy.

“Father, Mother, I can’t talk to you anymore, I’m going to fight and save people.”

“Ah? Don’t go, it’s dangerous!”

“Gotta go.”

Su Ming directly hung up the call.

At this moment, Tang Yan was the first to start his mech and asked, “Are you all ready?”

Mink and Chen Tong successively started their mechs and responded, “Ready!”

However, Su Ming’s mech had not yet started, and Tang Yan and the other two looked at Su Ming in confusion, asking, “Su Ming, why haven’t you started yet?”

“Sorry, I was delayed for a moment, I’m ready now!” Su Ming quickly started his mech and replied.

Tang Yan let out a slight breath and said with a serious expression, “Remember what I told you, no one is allowed to open the cockpit before the battle ends. As mech pilots, the mech is your most important body!”

“Understood!” Su Ming and the others nodded in response.

“Let’s go!”

After Tang Yan finished his instructions, he controlled his mech to stride out.

Su Ming and the other two also set off.

Clang, clang, clang~

Tang Yan controlled his mech, quickly rushing out of the gate. After walking a distance, he suddenly felt something was off.

He turned his head left and right, but didn’t see Su Ming and the other two.

So Tang Yan turned back and looked, only to see Su Ming and the other two walking slowly behind him.

“Sigh, you guys walk slowly, time is tight, I’m going ahead!”

Tang Yan really had no time to wait for Su Ming and the other two; things were already urgent on the other side.

“Okay.” Su Ming and the other two replied simultaneously.

Tang Yan’s eyes sharpened, his whole aura changed, revealing an iron-blooded, murderous aura. Immediately after, he pushed the power control lever.

Bang~

The Iron Head Mech’s twin thrusters at its back spewed out scorching flames.

The entire Iron Head Mech directly flew away at ultra-low altitude, its movements incredibly skilled and cool.

“Wow, Teacher is too amazing!” Mink was stunned.

“Tch, what’s so strange about that? Teacher Tang Yan served in the frontline mech regular army for over ten years; he’s a veteran who retired from the front lines. Not just anyone can teach the mech class.”

Chen Tong snorted.

“Stop talking about that, let’s hurry up and go. It would be really funny if the battle was over before we even arrived.”

Su Ming controlled his training mech to accelerate little by little, while Mink and Chen Tong awkwardly controlled their mechs to keep up.

Just then, the artificial sun, which had dimmed, suddenly brightened again. Night instantly turned into day, as the Thirteenth District performed artificial intervention operations for day and night.

Su Ming watched this scene, feeling a bit shocked. This artificial sun was indeed very useful, instantly making his vision much clearer.

However, the only downside was that it couldn’t switch intelligently; it could only be manually switched by personnel.

Compared to intelligent switching, manual switching by personnel was quite a bit slower, causing a slight delay.

Although it was only a little bit of time, sometimes it could be fatal.

If the switch could happen immediately when an alarm sounded, many fewer people would probably die, but there was nothing that could be done.

Su Ming took a slight breath, pulled his thoughts back, and concentrated on controlling the mech forward.

A few minutes later, Su Ming and the other two arrived at the outer area of the dormitory building. They saw that it had become even more chaotic, with deformed rats and parasites everywhere.

Screams of fear and wails rose and fell.

Although Teacher Tang Yan’s mech and some subsequent reinforcement soldiers had arrived, the situation was still very grim.

“Let’s go!” Su Ming controlled his mech and said to Mink.

“Okay!” Mink and Chen Tong responded simultaneously.

The three of them immediately controlled their mechs to scatter.

At this moment, not far away, five female students were cornered against the wall of the dormitory building by seven parasites. These parasites opened their mouths at them, and drops of black blood flowed down.

“No, don’t come over!” a girl with short blue hair, a delicate appearance, and wearing strawberry bear pajamas screamed in extreme terror.

Unfortunately, these parasites didn’t care; instead, they became even more frenzied. However, just as they were about to charge, a dark shadow enveloped them, and the parasites instinctively looked up.

Bang!

Su Ming controlled his mech to descend from the sky and smash down.

For a moment, blood and flesh splattered!

Four parasites were directly flattened, and the other three were sent flying.

Because Su Ming was eager to save people, and it was his first time using the thruster device, he didn’t control the force well, leading to an operational error. The entire mech tilted significantly and didn’t land on its feet, but instead crashed down on its stomach.

After the training mech crushed the parasites, the immense inertia forced the mech to slide across the ground towards the female students, sparks flying.

“Ah~”

The five female students in front hadn’t even had time to celebrate being saved when they saw the massive training mech sliding towards them with sparks and flashes, each of them scared out of their wits.

Inside the cockpit, Su Ming looked at the approaching junior students, desperately pulling the control levers and making the mech press its hands hard on the ground.

Screech~

The five girls also closed their eyes in extreme terror, bracing for the impending death.

However, after a few seconds, they didn’t feel any pain. So, they fearfully opened their eyes and saw the massive training mech stop precariously in front of them, with only thirty centimeters of distance remaining.

“Wuwu, we’re saved.” The short-haired, delicate girl could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down.

At this moment, inside the cockpit, Su Ming had a helpless expression. The real mech was indeed difficult to operate. Especially since he found that this training mech was particularly inflexible due to its age.

He had originally intended to stomp down, but it ended up like a dog eating shit, almost taking out his classmates along with the parasites. But fortunately, it stopped safely, so it wasn’t a big problem.

“Ah!” At this moment, the three parasites that had been sent flying angrily crawled up and charged at Su Ming.

Su Ming controlled his mech to sway and stand up, then raised his hand and slapped down directly!

Slap~

The three parasites were directly flattened.
