Chapter 23 Escort

In fact, to deal with these juveniles, Su Ming didn’t even need to control his mech to launch complex attacks; he just needed to lift his foot or use his hand.

“Are you all alright?”

Su Ming awkwardly asked the frightened schoolgirls in front of him.

“We’re fine. Are you a senior?”

The short-haired schoolgirl was also stunned when she heard Su Ming’s voice and asked, somewhat disbelievingly.

“Yeah, you guys should run quickly.”

Su Ming instructed them.

“But, but where do we run? Kirami parasites are everywhere.”

The short-haired schoolgirl asked in panic.

Su Ming also found it difficult upon hearing this, and then asked,

“How many people are still here?”

“A lot. The teachers and security guards who came to evacuate us were bitten to death. Now there’s nowhere to hide, and we don’t know where to go.”

The short-haired schoolgirl immediately replied.

“How about this, you gather everyone, and I’ll find a way to escort you to a safe place.”

Su Ming told them.

“Okay, we’ll go call everyone over right now.”

The five of them then dispersed to call people.

Su Ming, on the other hand, activated his wireless communication to call Mink and Chen Tong.

“Mink, Chen Tong, immediately control your mechs and come to the front of Girls’ Dormitory Building 17 to help. A lot of people here haven’t been evacuated.”

“We also have a lot of people who haven’t been evacuated here. Wait a moment; we’ll bring them over together.”

Mink and Chen Tong immediately responded.

“Alright!”

Su Ming replied simply and then closed the communication.

Not long after, Mink and Chen Tong drove their mechs, bringing more than a dozen students, and walked over.

“Su Ming, we’re here. You’ve gathered so many people?”

Mink spoke halfway, seeing over a hundred surviving students gathered beside Su Ming, and he couldn’t remain calm.

Su Ming looked at so many people, his head also hurt, and he said to Mink and Chen Tong helplessly,

“No choice. Let’s talk about business first. It’s not safe here; we have to escort them to a safe place. Where do you think is a good place to escort them?”

“With so many people, I feel like we can only send them to the School field, after all, everyone is there.”

Mink hesitated for a moment and said, although Su Ming had said before that the School field might not be very safe, the problem was that with so many people, they had no safe place to accommodate them.

“Alright then!”

Su Ming also had no other choice.

So the three of them shouted to the gathered students,

“We will escort you to the School field. Everyone follow behind; don’t fall behind!”

“Okay.”

Everyone replied with great joy. With training mechs escorting them, even if they encountered parasites, they should be fine.

After Su Ming and the other two finished their instructions, Chen Tong and Mink controlled their mechs to move to both sides of the crowd. They formed a triangular formation, escorting the students towards the School field.

Along the way, one or two parasites wearing school uniforms would occasionally rush up.

Su Ming controlled the training mech and directly took them out with a slap, which was very easy.

However, the students following behind the training mechs looked at the destroyed parasites with very complex expressions. They knew that these parasites were their classmates not long ago, and some were even good friends. For a moment, the entire team became very silent and quiet.

Time passed bit by bit as they passed through the atrium and advanced towards the School field.

As the School field got closer and closer, suddenly, some parasitic rats scurried out from the surrounding buildings and attacked the crowd!

“Damn it, it’s a rat swarm!”

Chen Tong shouted in shock and anger.

“Step on them, don’t let the rats get through!”

Su Ming’s nerves instantly tensed up. He controlled the mech to meet them, lifted his foot, and stomped down, immediately crushing two rats.

Immediately after, Su Ming controlled the mech to bend down and slap the rats on the ground with his hand, just like playing whack-a-mole.

“Understood!”

Chen Tong and Mink, facing a formidable enemy, began catching rats.

Don’t underestimate these parasitic rats; their combat power is not as strong as humanoid parasites. However, they are the most troublesome because they are too small and agile, making them a very big challenge for the three of them.

Su Ming held his breath, his mind highly concentrated, constantly reaching out to swat dead the attacking rats.

Although Su Ming’s movements seemed comical, he could clearly feel himself improving rapidly. Indeed, actual combat was the fastest way to grow.

Not long after, most of the rats were swatted dead. Su Ming controlled the mech, lifted his foot, and crushed the last escaping rat.

However, just then, the short-haired schoolgirl and others suddenly shouted to Su Ming in horror,

“Be careful, Senior!”

Before Su Ming could react, the mech suddenly shook violently, and its body staggered forward a step.

Su Ming was also startled and turned his head to look.

He saw a Kirami parasite, formed by the fusion of five broken humanoid bodies, with its body raised to four meters, veins bulging all over its body, highly hardened skin, and two heads, had ambushed him.

The thick armor on the back of the entire mech had some dents.

Su Ming frowned slightly and controlled the mech to punch it.

The parasite was directly sent flying, bounced off the ground, and then crashed onto the ground again, its entire body deformed.

But even so, it still wobbled and got up.

Su Ming controlled the mech to walk over and punched it down again, then immediately lifted his foot and stomped down directly.

Bang!

The parasite was directly stomped onto the ground by the mech’s foot, its chest and abdomen crushed. However, its limbs were still struggling; its vitality was unusually tenacious.

Su Ming again controlled the mech to lift its foot and stomp down on its two heads. With black brain-like matter splattering, it finally stopped moving completely.

“Are you alright!”

Mink asked Su Ming with concern.

“I’m fine. Let’s quickly escort them to the School field.”

Su Ming looked at the dead parasite and felt even more uneasy. He then turned his head and looked around, only to find that the number of Kirami pouring in through the main gate was increasing, to an abnormal extent.

This indicated that the situation outside the school was also very bad, meaning they were likely in a severely affected area.

Of course, Su Ming didn’t know that the Lower City District below their school was even more serious. At least they were located in the Upper City, which was a key protected area.

“Okay!”

Mink and Chen Tong replied in a deep voice.

At this moment, the vast School field was filled with a dense crowd of students, all still shaken, many with tear stains on their faces.

Teachers, security guards, guards, and more than a dozen training mechs surrounded the students, forming a defensive barrier with their bodies.

Whenever a parasite approached, they would immediately use flamethrowers and firearms to attack and eliminate them.

However, just then, parasitic rats appeared from all directions. Their dark red eyes stared at the dense crowd on the School field, and they bared their teeth, extremely agitated.

Immediately after, these rat swarms frantically rushed towards the School field.

“Oh no, a rat swarm!”

Teacher Chen Yi, who was driving a training mech, discovered the rat swarm immediately and roared in shock and anger.
