Chapter 296: Exchange (First Update)

At this moment, Rhine and the others had also dealt with their respective opponents, controlling their mechas to fly over and land beside Su Ming.

Seeing this, the four Iron Guards cautiously shouted at Su Ming.

“Put down your weapons quickly, or don’t blame us for being impolite.”

Beink struggled to stand up while controlling his mecha, then burst out laughing.

“Haha, no matter how strong you are, what can you do to me?”

Su Ming completely ignored Beink’s taunt, merely raising his foot to stomp heavily on Black Rock, while simultaneously increasing the force in the red spear in his hand, almost piercing the cockpit.

Beink was instantly speechless, his face dark as he said, “You dare?”

“What do you think? You’re not naive enough to think you can threaten me with hostages, are you?”

Su Ming looked at Beink and said nonchalantly.

Listening to Su Ming’s words, Beink’s expression grew even more unsightly. It was clear this guy was no rookie, so he spoke in a deep voice.

“How about we make a deal?”

“Speak!”

Su Ming replied expressionlessly.

“Exchanging me for these hostages isn’t too much, right?”

Beink stared intently at Su Ming, his nerves taut as he proposed.

“Su Ming, no, you can’t let this guy go!”

Rhine said, very unwillingly.

Su Ming controlled Gun Knight to raise its left hand, interrupting Rhine.

“Exchanging his life for the lives of dozens of our own people, this deal is worth it.”

Although Rhine and the others were furious upon hearing Su Ming’s words, they said nothing more.

After all, he was right; these dozens of people were their own, and they couldn’t just abandon them.

At this moment, Su Ming coldly said to Beink, “I agree to your deal, but you’d better not play any tricks.”

“My life is in your hands, how would I dare? However, during the exchange, only you are allowed to step forward.”

Beink cautiously said to Su Ming.

“Good!”

Su Ming agreed readily.

So, Su Ming used the red spear to push Third Generation Mecha · Black Rock forward, back first.

The four Iron Guard Mechs also carried the iron cages containing the hostages, walking over step by step.

The distance between the two sides grew shorter and shorter.

Just then, Beink controlled his mecha to give a signal to his subordinates.

Immediately, the Iron Guard holding the iron cage suddenly threw the cage containing the hostages to the right.

“Ah~”

The hostages inside the iron cage immediately let out frightened screams.

Su Ming reacted incredibly fast, instantly pushing the control stick. Gun Knight rushed over like a gust of wind, precisely catching the iron cage containing the hostages.

At this moment, Beink and the others immediately turned and flew away.

Seeing this, Rhine and the others immediately rushed over.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, you take care of them.”

Su Ming directly handed the iron cage to Rhine and his group.

“Su Ming, what are you going to do?”

Rhine took the iron cage, slightly stunned, and asked.

“Hmph, what do you think!”

Su Ming quickly entered a series of codes, and immediately, the entire operating interface popped up with red warning boxes.

“Warning: Entering Developer Mode!”

“Warning: Power protection limit released!”

Gun Knight’s electronic eyes instantly turned red, and the massive mecha began to vibrate, emitting a piercing roar, even its jet exhaust turning into blue flames.

In an instant, Su Ming controlled Gun Knight to transform into a red light, chasing after Beink and the others.

Beink’s mecha was a heavy-duty Third Generation Mecha, inherently slower in flight than Gun Knight, let alone Gun Knight in overclocked mode.

Before they could escape far, Su Ming controlled Gun Knight to fly in front of Beink and his group, descending like a god of death, blocking their path.

“You! What do you want to do? We agreed to exchange hostages, are you going back on your word?”

“That’s right, we agreed to exchange hostages. But I never said I’d let you go, did I? Now that the exchange is complete, it’s my turn to deal with you.”

Su Ming raised the red spear in his hand and pointed it at Beink.

“Bastard! Let’s fight him.”

Beink roared in fury, then charged towards Gun Knight.

On the other side, Major Gene, leading several teachers, flew at full speed towards the coordinates, continuously shouting in the communication channel.

“Faster! If we’re late, Su Ming and the others will be finished.”

“Damn it, why is it so far!”

Teacher Tang Xuan and the others were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

“Calm down, we’ll be there soon. What I’m worried about now isn’t Su Ming; his mecha is at least a Third Generation Mecha, he should be able to escape if he can’t win, but the others are in danger.”

Teacher Ofam replied, his head aching.

“Do you think Su Ming would escape alone? Did you ever see him retreat when he was in the Zerg Hive and on the nautilus?”

Tang Xuan retorted directly.

Teacher Ofam fell silent upon hearing Teacher Tang Xuan’s words.

“There’s no other way now, hurry up and get there.”

Major Gene grew even more anxious listening to their conversation.

“Overclock and charge through!”

Tang Xuan looked at the remaining distance and said without hesitation.

“Good!”

Major Gene and the others agreed, saying that although doing so would damage the mechas, they couldn’t afford to worry about that much.

Whoosh~

One Azure Wing Mecha after another activated overclocking, rushing towards the coordinates at extreme speed.

Not long after, Major Gene and the others flew to the designated coordinate area and descended from the sky, but the scene before them left them all stunned.

They saw damaged mechas piled together, and dozens of rescued hostages huddled on the ground.

Su Ming and the five of them, including Rhine, stood guarding the hostages, completely unharmed.

“Su Ming, reinforcements are finally here!”

Rhine shouted excitedly.

“Mm.”

Su Ming nodded slightly.

At this moment, Major Gene and the others walked over and asked in disbelief.

“You’re alright? Where are Beink and his gang?”

“We’re fine. Beink and his group stubbornly resisted, so they were all killed. That pile is them.”

Su Ming pointed to the pile of damaged mecha wreckage and said.

Major Gene and the others were extremely shocked after hearing Su Ming’s words, and asked, somewhat dazed, “You wiped out the entire opposing force?”

“Is there a problem? Don’t tell me you wanted them alive? You didn’t say anything about that?”

Su Ming asked, puzzled.

Major Gene and the others’ expressions became even more spectacular upon hearing Su Ming’s words. It took a long time for them to recover and say, “No, it’s good that everyone is fine. Other personnel will be arriving soon.”

“Good!”

Su Ming nodded.

Several hours later, this farce finally came to an end, and all captured personnel were rescued.

Red Fang hovered above Red Valley Mining Base.

One mecha after another began transporting boxes of refined materials from within the Red Valley Mining Base, flying up towards Red Fang.

Inside the base, Vice Principal Fuleike walked in with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, he saw Su Ming not far away, reporting the previous battle situation to Mia.

Vice Principal Fuleike then walked over with a smile and called out to Su Ming.

“Su Ming!”

Su Ming heard the shout, turned his head, and seeing it was Vice Principal Fuleike, quickly greeted him, “Hello, Principal!”
