Chapter 373: Undercurrents (5-in-1)
by SunflowerAt this moment, a series of heavy footsteps sounded.
“Salute!”
General Titanter shouted loudly.
Su Ming and the others’ expressions turned serious, and they all raised their hands in salute, glancing sideways.
Commander Alec De walked over, followed by two generals exuding terrifying aura. One of them was General Gabres, and the other was General Sigrid, known as a frequent visitor to hell. He stood tall, his red hair like burning flames, his face sharply contoured, and his deep blue eyes, like a galaxy of stars, shimmered with untamed light.
Su Ming was also surprised to see the three of them, and a ripple stirred in his heart.
The Commander of the Federal Cosmic Army Headquarters and two generals, accompanied by so many generals and high-ranking officers, came to greet someone. Who could be such a distinguished visitor?
At this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the sky.
Su Ming and the others all looked up at the sky.
They saw the Star Destroyer Lei Ji, 270 kilometers long, completely covered in blue armor with intricate lightning patterns, a dark blue meteor cannon extending from the center of its bow, and countless launch ports, slowly descending.
“Star Destroyer!”
Su Yuan and the others took a deep breath.
Su Ming became increasingly curious about the arriving guests.
Soon after, the Star Destroyer Lei Ji landed steadily in its berth.
Click!
The No. 1 embarkation exit opened.
Su Ming and the others’ gazes were all focused on the embarkation exit.
At this moment, Vice City Lord Okens was the first to walk out of the embarkation exit, followed closely by Dr. Blacks.
“It’s actually Vice City Lord Okens of Starlight City and Dr. Blacks of Xiguang Laboratory who are visiting.”
Su Yuan and the others whispered in surprise.
Su Ming was also slightly surprised, not expecting them to be the ones arriving.
At this moment, Vice City Lord Okens and Dr. Blacks walked directly towards Commander Alec De.
“Vice City Lord Okens, you’ve worked hard.”
Commander Alec De smiled and extended his hand.
“It’s no hardship, just my duty.”
Vice City Lord Okens warmly shook Commander Alec De’s hand.
After shaking hands with Okins, Commander Alec De then tilted his head to the side, constantly looking behind Okins, and asked with some hesitation.
“Okins, are you the only ones who came?”
Vice City Lord Okens paused slightly, then replied with a smile.
“Yes!”
“Uh, did that person not come?”
Commander Alec De asked in surprise.
“No, no.”
Vice City Lord Okens replied with a full smile.
“Oh.”
Commander Alec De’s facial muscles twitched slightly upon hearing Okins’ words, and he forced a smile in response.
Okins didn’t mind Commander Alec De’s awkwardness. He smiled and extended his hand to General Sigrid and General Gabres, shaking hands with both of them one by one and greeting them warmly.
“Long time no see.”
“Indeed, long time no see.”
Gabres and the other also replied with somewhat stiff expressions.
If they had known it was this guy coming, they wouldn’t have bothered to come.
But they still had to maintain appearances.
After Okins shook hands with the two generals, he walked to General Sanida and extended his hand, saying.
“You’ve worked hard.”
“Thank you for your concern, Lord Okins.”
Sanida replied politely.
Vice City Lord Okens nodded slightly and walked towards the other general-level personnel in the special combat department, greeting each one briefly.
Not long after, Vice City Lord Okens finished exchanging pleasantries with all the generals here.
He then walked to General Titanter and greeted him warmly.
“Long time no see, Titanter.”
“Long time no see, Lord Okins.”
“When you’re on vacation, come visit Starlight City.”
“Alright!”
Titanter nodded slightly in response.
After Okins finished his pleasantries with Titanter, he walked over to Zhou Mu and the others, shaking hands with each of them.
Soon, Okins walked up to Su Ming. He was about to shake hands and exchange routine pleasantries, but when he saw it was Su Ming, he was stunned.
He hadn’t expected Su Ming to be here, and even wearing a major general’s uniform. This kid’s promotion speed was like a rocket!
However, Okins had, after all, seen all kinds of major events. He instantly adjusted his mindset and said with a chuckle.
“Su Ming, I didn’t expect you to be here too. You truly are a promising young man!”
“Thank you, Vice City Lord Okens.”
Su Ming replied politely.
At this moment, Dr. Blacks, who was standing coldly not far away, also noticed Su Ming, and a subtle ripple appeared in his indifferent expression.
After Okins finished greeting Su Ming and the others, he turned and walked to Commander Alec De, saying with a smile.
“Commander Alec De, shall we go?”
“Alright!”
Commander Alec De nodded slightly, then led Okins and the others away.
Su Ming and the others followed in an orderly fashion.
Soon after, they returned to the Federal Cosmic Army Headquarters.
Okins smiled and said to Commander Alec De.
“Commander Alec De, I’d like to speak with you privately. Is that convenient?”
Upon hearing this, Commander Alec De raised his hand and waved it, saying to the people behind him.
“Everyone, you’ve worked hard today. You may all disperse.”
“Yes!”
General Titanter and the others responded loudly, then each led their people away.
“This way, please!”
Commander Alec De then led Okins towards the office.
A moment later, Commander Alec De and Okins arrived alone in the office.
Alec De poured Okins a cup of tea and asked with some curiosity.
“Vice City Lord Okens, besides escorting the weapons, do you have something else going on this time?”
“My main purpose for coming this time is for Shatak. The Council heard that Shatak’s health is getting worse and worse.”
Okins took a sip of tea and said calmly.
“That’s right, this news is true. Shatak’s health is deteriorating day by day.”
Alec De replied in a deep voice.
“The reason Dr. Blacks is accompanying me this time is to visit Shatak with me, to see if he can be cured.”
“I’m afraid it’s difficult. I heard he has a genetic mutation, which is incurable.”
“If it can’t be cured, then the trouble will be great. I don’t need to say how important the Shabask Kingdom is to us, do I?”
“I’m very clear about that. This is our largest transit point to the Three Great Forbidden Zones.”
“Exactly, the Shabask Kingdom must stand with us, there’s no doubt about that.”
“What does the Council mean?”
“The Council’s meaning is simple: if Shatak truly can’t make it, we will support a prince to ascend the throne.”
“That might not be so easy. Only three princes of the Shabask Kingdom are left alive. Among them, First Prince Solleca is supported by the Dark Star Empire, and Third Prince Merritt is supported by the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom.”
“Isn’t there also Seventh Prince Omid?”
“Prince Ohmid is notoriously useless. What if he can’t be supported?”
Commander Alec De said with some difficulty.
“If it truly reaches that point, the Council President has also given instructions.”
Vice City Lord Okens replied with a smile.
Commander Alec De, upon hearing Okins’ words, immediately asked excitedly.
“The Council President has come out? Has he also come here?”
“No, the Council President’s health has not yet recovered. However, regarding the matter of the Shabask Kingdom, he personally issued an instruction. This is the Council President’s handwritten letter.”
Vice City Lord Okens took out a kraft paper letter.
Commander Alec De quickly took it, then tore open the letter and took out the letter paper inside, unfolding it.
On the large letter paper, only one character was written.
“Destroy!”
Commander Alec De looked at the character, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice to Vice City Lord Okens.
“I know what to do, but…”
“I know what you want to say, but you don’t have to worry. I didn’t just bring that batch of biological mecha weapons this time.”
Vice City Lord Okens interrupted Commander Alec De, revealing a brilliant smile as he spoke.
“What other weapons did you bring?”
Alec De’s eyelids twitched as he asked.
“I also brought Ilyinas.”
Vice City Lord Okens replied with a beaming smile.
“You actually brought it too?”
Commander Alec De was completely stunned to hear Okins’ words.
“That’s right, no one can stop the will of the Federation.”
Vice City Lord Okens said domineeringly.
In the evening.
Inside the Cosmic Military Headquarters’ Special Operations Department training hangar.
Type IV biological mechas were being moved to the fixed berths on the left side, while all fixed berths on the right side of the entire training hangar were being cleared one by one.
Numerous personnel in white research suits continuously reminded the working staff.
“Be careful when moving!”
“Don’t make too large movements, and absolutely do not collide.”
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue stood in the observation area at the bottom, watching their biological mechas being moved to the left.
“How many biological mechas are being transported this time? Why are they clearing so many spots?”
An Ruoxue said with some surprise.
“I’m not sure either, but judging by this setup, the number must be quite large.”
Lin Chuyu thought for a moment and replied.
At this moment, Su Ming walked over from a distance. He looked at the bustling hangar, also a bit surprised.
However, he didn’t pay it much mind and walked towards Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue.
Although last night’s anti-pollution training wasn’t ideal, Su Ming had no intention of giving up.
“Chu Yu, Ruoxue.”
Su Ming called out as he approached.
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue turned their heads simultaneously upon hearing Su Ming’s call.
“Oh, isn’t this the esteemed Major General? What brings you here?”
An Ruoxue said playfully.
“Ahem, Ruoxue, can you speak properly?”
Su Ming replied helplessly.
“How dare I not speak properly? Someone is a major general! And he didn’t even tell us. Is he that afraid of us knowing?”
“How could that be? I just thought there wasn’t much difference between a major general and a major. They’re both ‘major’ after all.”
“What do you mean, no difference? There’s a huge difference! In short, you did it on purpose, making us run around in circles. I feel like Chu Yu and I were clowns, talking big in front of you. You must have been laughing your head off back then.”
An Ruoxue said mockingly.
“No, absolutely not.”
Su Ming replied awkwardly.
“I don’t believe it, absolutely yes!”
An Ruoxue looked at Su Ming with a smile.
Lin Chuyu, seeing Su Ming so awkward, also covered her mouth and chuckled.
“Sigh, alright, it’s my fault, okay?”
Su Ming replied with a wry smile.
“No, you can’t get off that easily. You have to bleed a little.”
“How do I bleed?”
“How about this: in a few days, the Shabask Kingdom will have its centennial grand ceremony. You accompany Chu Yu and me to visit, and we’ll forgive you.”
An Ruoxue said playfully.
“Alright.”
Su Ming reluctantly agreed.
“That’s more like it. But I’m really puzzled, we haven’t seen each other for only half a year, how did you get promoted to Major General? Is Gakels, the City Lord of Starlight City, your father? Even if he were your father, this speed is a bit excessive, isn’t it?”
An Ruoxue was also very depressed.
“Don’t talk nonsense, we don’t even have the same last name. By the way, why is your department so lively today?”
Su Ming asked curiously.
“How could it not be lively? Dr. Blackes from Xiguang Laboratory has moved in here with a combat team. I’ll tell you a secret, this Dr. Blackes is a mortal enemy of Dr. Tavido Ni from our department, so we don’t get along well with these people.”
An Ruoxue whispered to Su Ming.
“So that’s how it is.”
Su Ming was also very surprised.
At this moment, above the training hangar, on the central observation deck.
An old man, dressed in a white research coat, bald, with loose skin, a face full of wrinkles, a high nose, and a lively spirit, pointed to the rows of mechas on the left side of the hangar and said proudly.
“Blackes, do you see those biological mechas? They are all my masterpieces. These biological mechas are all made by me using different alien races. Not only is their performance excellent, but their pollution is relatively low.”
Blackes coldly glanced at the red scale, Blue Yama and other biological mechas, and said expressionlessly.
“The most important thing for biological mechas is to retain their biological characteristics and wildness. Your biological mechas have two safety locks, and their power is suppressed too much! And the most important point is that the strength of a biological mecha depends on the original body used. The biological bodies you chose are not very good themselves, so the mechas produced are nothing to look at.”
At this time, Aris and others standing behind Blackes also showed expressions of disdain.
Dr. Tavido Ni spoke unhappily, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
“Hmph, then I’d like to see how good your biological mecha is.”
“Feel free to look.”
Blackes replied coldly.
At this moment, a giant gap opened in the metal wall of the training hangar, and one ferocious biological mecha after another was transported in, buckling into the berths on the right side.
Everyone in the hangar turned their heads to look at the biological mechas being transported in.
Su Ming’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise as he looked over.
Among this batch of transported biological mechas, he saw the Fourth Generation Mecha Red Oni, Tyrant Apostle, Edge Runner, and even the villain.
Soon, the berths on the right side were filled with biological mechas.
Looking across the entire training hangar, two rows of biological mechas stood facing each other, which was very shocking!
But if you observe carefully, you can find that the styles of the biological mechas in the left and right rows are completely different.
The biological mechas in the left row all looked very magnificent and had a very cool appearance. While the biological mechas in the right row all looked ferocious and exuded an extremely dangerous aura, as if they were alive.
Of course, the biggest difference is that the biological mechas in the right row are all made using Kirami.
“These biological mechas look so evil!”
“Yeah, don’t you feel creepy? I always feel like these guys are alive.”
“I feel the same way.”
Falu Te and others whispered.
“Chu Yu, what do you think of this batch of biological mechas?”
Su Ming asked with great interest.
“Very strong, it gives me a feeling of being very dangerous and difficult to control.”
Lin Chuyu replied very cautiously.
“I think so too.”
An Ruoxue agreed.
Just as Su Ming and the two were talking, Tigerdo, with Wu Li and Wake, walked aggressively in front of Su Ming.
Lin Chuyu was slightly stunned, then asked with a cold expression.
“Tigerdo, what are you going to do again?”
“Chu Yu, I’m not here for you, I’m here for Su Ming. This has nothing to do with you.”
Tigerdo pointed at Su Ming domineeringly.
Su Ming looked at Tigerdo with some confusion.
“What do you want from me?”
“Su Ming, I used to think you were a small officer and didn’t want to bully the weak. But now you are a Major General, and I am also a Major General, we are at the same rank!”
“And then?”
“I want to challenge you. This challenge is a matter between us men and has nothing to do with Chu Yu.”
Tigerdo directly challenged Su Ming.
Su Ming almost laughed when he heard Tigerdo’s words. This guy was quite interesting.
To avoid displeasing Chu Yu, he even found such a lame excuse.
At this moment, An Ruoxue spoke teasingly.
“Tigerdo, I don’t quite understand. When Su Ming wasn’t a Major General, you had no hope. Now that he’s a Major General and even more handsome than you, are you sure you have hope?”
Tigerdo felt like he had taken ten thousand points of damage when he heard An Ruoxue’s words, and his face flushed red.
But he still gritted his teeth and said to Su Ming.
“Su Ming, are you a man? If you are, accept a man’s challenge.”
Su Ming looked at Tigerdo with interest. To be honest, he didn’t mind sparring with Tigerdo. After all, this guy’s strength should be good, and sparring should improve his combat experience quite a bit.
But there’s a big drawback to private sparring.
Once the mecha is damaged during sparring, he would have to pay for the repairs himself, which is not a small sum.
Therefore, it would be a loss no matter how you look at it, so Su Ming was too lazy to fight him.
“Why aren’t you speaking? Are you chicken?”
Tigerdo saw that Su Ming hadn’t said anything for a long time and kept questioning him.
At this time, the surrounding personnel gathered around, looking at Tigerdo and Su Ming and discussing.
“What happened? Why is Tigerdo going to duel with someone?”
“What else could it be? Of course, it’s for Lin Chuyu.”
At this moment, Su Ming smiled and said to Tigerdo.
“It’s not impossible to duel with you, but do you have a mecha to fight me with? I remember your mecha is a biological mecha and doesn’t belong to you personally. While my mecha is purely mechanical, but it is privately owned.”
Tigerdo was also stunned when he heard Su Ming’s words.
At this time, Wu Li also understood the meaning of the words and said to Tigerdo.
“Boss, he’s looking down on you, saying you’re poor!”
Tigerdo’s heart felt like it had been stabbed when he heard Wu Li’s words, and it instantly went cold by half.
He immediately realized that this guy owned his own advanced mecha. Could it be that he came from a powerful family? If so, wouldn’t this guy be a typical rich, handsome, and powerful man?
Then wouldn’t he have even less hope?
Thinking of this, Tigerdo immediately got angry and said furiously.
“Damn it, I can’t use a biological mecha to fight you, but I can borrow one!”
“Are you sure you want to borrow? If it gets damaged, it will cost a lot of money.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
For a moment, Tigerdo was in a dilemma, this was no joke.
At this time, on the observation deck, Dr. Tavido Ni looked at the villain and other biological mechas, and said with a dark face.
“I found that after so many years, you are still stubbornly using Kirami, which has extremely high pollution, as a carrier.”
“I can accept that the biological mecha made is a failure, but I will never accept that the mecha made is mediocre.”
Blackes replied coldly.
“You mean my biological mechas are trash? I think your biological mechas are nothing special, maybe even worse than mine!”
Dr. Tavido Ni was so angry that his hands were trembling.
Blackes did not reply to Dr. Tavido Ni, but looked at the crowd gathered in the training hangar.
He immediately saw Su Ming confronting Tigerdo.
At this moment, a shout also rang out in the hangar.
“Tigerdo, don’t be afraid of him, beat him up!”
“We support you!”
“Right! At worst, everyone will raise money for you, you absolutely can’t chicken out.”
Blackes’s cold eyes moved slightly, and he said coldly to Dr. Tavido Ni.
“Tavido Ni, I’m tired of arguing with you. If you’re not convinced, we can have a competition.”
“Alright, I was just thinking of having a match with you, send anyone you want.”
Dr. Tavido Ni said impolitely.
At this moment, Aris voluntarily stepped forward and said to Blackes with great conceit.
“Sir, please let me fight.”
“Step back.”
Blackes stared at Su Ming below and replied coldly.
Aris was also stunned, a very unwilling expression appearing on his face, but he still suppressed his emotions and replied.
“Yes.”
Dr. Tavido Ni looked at Blackes in confusion.
“What? No confidence in your subordinates? Do you want me to lend you someone?”
“No need for such trouble, come with me.”
Blackes turned and left directly.
Dr. Tavido Ni and others followed in confusion.
At this time, in the training hangar, Tigerdo listened to the shouts of the crowd and gritted his teeth, saying to Su Ming.
“You don’t need to worry, if the mecha I borrow is damaged, I will naturally compensate!”
Su Ming was also a little surprised when he heard Tigerdo’s words. He didn’t expect this guy to actually go all out, but he didn’t plan to damage the mecha, so he replied with a smile.
“Then I won’t fight you. You don’t care about money, but I do. And there’s no benefit for me to fight you, and I’ll have to pay for repairs myself afterward.”
“You!”
Tigerdo was almost fuming when he heard Su Ming’s words.
Just then, a sound of footsteps came, and Dr. Blackes and Dr. Tavido Ni walked over with their people.
The onlookers quickly made way.
At this moment, Dr. Blackes and Dr. Tavido Ni walked in front of Su Ming and the others.
Tigerdo and the others were also surprised and quickly greeted them.
“Lord Tavido Ni!”
“Lord Blackes!”
At this moment, Dr. Blackes said to Su Ming and Tigerdo.
“Aren’t you two going to duel? It just so happens that Dr. Tavido Ni and I are going to have a biological mecha confrontation, and we will provide you with a 4th Generation Biological Mecha for free!”
Everyone present was stunned by these words.
Su Ming was also startled when he heard it.
“No problem!”
Tigerdo was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.
Dr. Blackes then looked at Su Ming and asked.
“Su Ming, what about you?”
Su Ming’s expression kept changing as he listened to Blackes’s words.
At this moment, Lin Chuyu, who was beside him, quickly stepped forward and said to Dr. Blackes.
“Lord Blackes, although Su Ming is a Major General, he is not from the Special Operations Department and has never truly piloted a biological mecha. Moreover, he has only been injected with Type II genetic agents, and his biological mecha test data is very unsatisfactory, so he cannot pilot a biological mecha. On the other hand, General Tigerdo is a seasoned biological mecha pilot, and his genetic agents have even reached Type III. This battle is simply unfair.”
“Simple, isn’t it just Type III genetic agents? I’ll give him one.”
Blackes said coldly.
“That’s not it…”
Lin Chuyu was about to speak.
Blackes gave Lin Chuyu a cold glance.
Lin Chuyu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and the words on her lips immediately stopped.
At this moment, Dr. Tavido Ni turned his head to Blackes and said.
“Blackes, why don’t you change to someone else? So I don’t win unfairly.”
“No need, Su Ming, if you are willing to accept this duel, I can arrange for you to receive the Type III genetic agent now.”
Blackes’s cold eyes stared at Su Ming, a hint of undetectable fanaticism revealing itself in his gaze.
You know, the previous test was like a thorn, constantly stuck in his heart.
Now that a rare opportunity has come, no one can stop him.
Su Ming looked at Blackes, who was staring at him, and immediately reacted. Although this was the first time he had met Dr. Blackes in person today, from the other party’s insistence on making him pilot a biological mecha, Su Ming could be sure of one thing: this guy was definitely the one who kept giving him opportunities and access cards during the previous test.
At this moment, regarding Blackes’s crazy proposal, rationality told Su Ming to refuse. But his heart inexplicably throbbed, an indescribable impulse constantly surged up.
Finally, Su Ming slowly spoke.
“I am willing!”
“Alright then, it’s settled. The duel will be tomorrow morning at the Blacklight Arena.”
Blacks immediately finalized the matter.
He was right about this young man; he wasn’t someone who would back down.
“Okay.”
Su Ming nodded in agreement.
Blacks then said to Su Ming,
“You can pick any mecha you want from this row!”
After hearing what Blacks said, Su Ming turned his head to look at the row of ferocious biological mecha on his right.
Everyone looked at Su Ming, curious about which mecha he would choose.
At this moment, An Ruoxue spoke up, suggesting to Su Ming,
“Su Ming, since this is your first time piloting a biological mecha, it’s safer to choose a relatively gentler one.”
Su Ming shook his head, then said to Blacks,
“I choose the Tyrant Apostle.”
When Aris and the others heard Su Ming’s words, their expressions turned very ugly.
The Tyrant Apostle was among the strongest of all Fourth Generation Mecha, and it was extremely difficult to control.
Even they struggled to operate it, yet this guy was so overconfident.
“No problem. Prepare well. As for the gene agent, someone will deliver it to you shortly.”
Blacks agreed to Su Ming without hesitation.
“Yes.”
Su Ming replied respectfully.
“Let’s go!”
Blacks turned and left directly with Aris and the others.
After Blacks and the others left the training hangar,
Aris could no longer hold back and questioned Blacks,
“General Blacks, I don’t understand! This duel concerns the reputation of all of us, why didn’t you give it to me? Instead, you gave it to an outsider who has never piloted a biological mecha.”
Martha and the others also looked at Dr. Blacks with great confusion.
“Do my decisions require your approval?”
Blacks looked at Aris and the others with extremely cold eyes.
When Aris heard Blacks’ words, he clenched his left hand into a fist, his fingernails digging into his flesh, causing blood to seep out and drip onto the ground.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth and replied,
“Yes.”
Blacks gave Aris a cold glance and walked straight ahead.
Inside the training hangar.
Dr. Tawidoni patted Tigerdo’s shoulder and said,
“Fight well, don’t disappoint me.”
“Don’t worry, sir, I will absolutely not let you down.”
Tigerdo said with full confidence.
After hearing this, Dr. Tawidoni left with his hands behind his back, satisfied.
The thought of being able to thoroughly humiliate Blacks tomorrow put him in a very good mood.
At this moment, the personnel of the surrounding Special Combat Department, seeing that Dr. Tawidoni had left, began to whisper among themselves.
“This Su Ming is truly too arrogant.”
“He, an Old Human, actually dares to try and pilot a biological mecha, and even wants to defeat General Tigerdo. He’s truly overestimating himself, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!”
“If he’s not beaten black and blue tomorrow, I’ll write my name backward.”
However, facing everyone’s pointing and whispering, Su Ming remained completely oblivious.
At this moment, Lin Chuyu also apologized to Su Ming with great self-reproach.
“I’m sorry, Su Ming, it’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have to duel with Tigerdo.”
“Oh, this has nothing to do with you. The reason I agreed to the duel was purely because I wanted to spar with him and try out a biological mecha, that’s all!”
Su Ming comforted Lin Chuyu.
“Do you have confidence?”
An Ruoxue asked curiously.
“Sorry, no confidence at all.”
“It’s over, there’s no hope.”
When An Ruoxue heard Su Ming’s answer, she felt completely numb.
Just then, Tigerdo walked over with two subordinates, and in a very good mood, he said to Su Ming,
“Su Ming, I won’t bully you. If you feel the time is too tight, I can help you talk to Dr. Tawidoni and push back the duel time a bit, so you can practice more.”
“Haha, you’re surprisingly kind, but I don’t need it. You should worry more about yourself.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“You! Never mind, why should I bother arguing with you? We’ll see the outcome in the arena tomorrow.”
Tigerdo left directly with his subordinates.
Su Ming didn’t pay attention to Tigerdo, but instead said to Lin Chuyu and the other person,
“Alright, I need your help now.”
“What kind of help?”
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue looked at Su Ming.
“Can you quickly teach me how to pilot a biological mecha?”
Su Ming said with a smile.
“That’s not a problem, but will there be enough time?”
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue replied in surprise.
“How will we know if we don’t try?”
Su Ming said with a smile.
“Alright, follow us!”
Lin Chuyu and the other then led Su Ming towards the training room.
Soon after, they arrived in the empty training room.
Su Ming looked at Lin Chuyu and the other person and said,
“Let’s begin.”
When An Ruoxue heard Su Ming’s words, she was about to start teaching him. But she suddenly became speechless, pacing anxiously and saying,
“It’s over, it’s over, how do I teach so much knowledge, where do I even start?”
“Oh, why are you so anxious? I’m not even anxious.”
Su Ming said very calmly.
“Su Ming, that Tigerdo is a Major General! His strength is extremely formidable; he’s among the top experts in our Special Combat Department. He has one Red Moon and one Black Moon.”
An Ruoxue said, somewhat frantically.
“I know, and then what?”
“What do you mean ‘and then what’? Two moons! What kind of concept is that?!”
“It’s alright.”
“What do you mean ‘it’s alright’? Big brother, you’re not using a pure mechanical mecha now, you’re using a biological mecha! In this regard, you’re a complete novice! You might not even be able to start the biological mecha, how are you going to fight him?! Wait, you wouldn’t have deliberately agreed to the duel for the Type III gene injection, would you? If that’s the case, it doesn’t seem like a loss. You can just forfeit then.”
An Ruoxue’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Can you have a little faith in me? Am I that kind of unprincipled person?”
Su Ming said helplessly.
“Then there’s no hope.”
An Ruoxue sighed deeply.
“Alright, let’s not talk about that. Time is pressing! Just teach me some important precautions for biological mecha, and how to release beams and deploy an AT Field, that’s all.”
Su Ming said very rationally.
“Big brother, you only have one night. Are you sure you can learn it? Back then, we studied for several months.”
An Ruoxue said helplessly.
“Desperate times call for desperate measures. What if I’m exceptionally gifted and learn it in one night?”
Su Ming replied, feigning nonchalance.
“Alright, there’s no other way now.”
An Ruoxue directly compromised.
At this moment, Lin Chuyu also began to explain to Su Ming.
“First, let me tell you some precautions for getting into a real mecha. Firstly, there’s a big difference between a real biological mecha and a biological test pod. The test pod’s contamination level can be adjusted, and it will stop when you can’t handle it! But a biological mecha isn’t like that. The contamination level of each biological mecha is different. The Tyrant Apostle you chose is made from a Kirami gene fission body, and its contamination level is very high. You will definitely feel very uncomfortable when you get in, so you must endure it.”
“Su Ming, you also need to pay attention to one thing: biological mecha can cause mental contamination. You must control it. If you can’t hold on, it’s over. You’ll go crazy, your body will deform, and even the mecha might go berserk.”
An Ruoxue added.
“I understand.”
Su Ming replied solemnly.
“Of course, you don’t have to worry too much. Now, biological mecha have very comprehensive safety measures. Once things become uncontrollable, they will be forcibly terminated.”
Lin Chuyu comforted Su Ming.
“Okay.”
Su Ming nodded slightly in response.
“Now, let’s talk about beam release. The beams of biological mecha are different from those of pure mechanical mecha. Their beams are generated by the mecha itself; it’s not like a pure mechanical mecha where you just give a command and it shoots. It requires you to guide it with your mind, gathering the energy on your body to a single point…”
Lin Chuyu then continued to explain to Su Ming.
In a blink of an eye, several hours passed, and just as Su Ming was listening intently,
A staff member in a white research coat walked over, carrying a freezer box.
“General Su Ming, this is your gene agent.”
“Thank you.”
Su Ming reached out and took it.
“Open it quickly, I want to see what model it is.”
An Ruoxue said with great curiosity.
“Mm!”
Su Ming immediately opened the freezer box, and a blast of cold air emerged.
Inside the freezer box lay a very beautiful blue injection, with a conspicuous label attached to it.
Type III · SRD Gene Agent!
“Not bad, it’s the best Type III gene agent. This kind of agent is usually only available to those who have signed a death contract with the Light of Hope Laboratory or the Special Combat Department! Just for this injection alone, even if you act like a clown in the arena tomorrow, it won’t be a loss.”
An Ruoxue said with great emotion after seeing the model.
“I know. I’ll inject the Type III gene agent first. Please help me keep an eye on things.”
Su Ming said to Lin Chuyu and the other person.
“Okay, it will be very painful during the injection, but it will be fine as long as you endure it.”
Lin Chuyu gently instructed.
“I understand!”
Su Ming did not hesitate at all. He removed the needle cap, directly pricked his arm, and injected the gene agent into his body.
The moment the medicine entered his body, Su Ming felt as if his entire body was on fire.
This time, the pain was even more intense than the previous two times.
The intense pain immediately caused a look of great agony to appear on Su Ming’s face. He gritted his teeth and endured it.
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue watched Su Ming nervously, not daring to touch him at all.
Time passed bit by bit.
About half an hour later, the pain gradually receded.
Su Ming let out a long breath, his clothes completely drenched.
“Su Ming, are you alright?”
Lin Chuyu asked with concern.
“I’m fine, I got through it.”
Su Ming forced a tired smile.
“Amazing! When I injected the Type III gene agent, I screamed in pain, but you didn’t even make a sound the whole time.”
An Ruoxue praised him sincerely.
“It’s alright.”
Su Ming replied with a wry smile.
In fact, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to cry out, but he didn’t want to lose face in front of them, so he could only tough it out.
At this moment, Lin Chuyu checked the time on her wristband. It was already midnight, so she said to Su Ming,
“We’ve pretty much told you all the theoretical knowledge. It’s getting late now, do you want to go back and get a good night’s sleep to be well-rested for tomorrow’s duel?”
“Chu Yu is right. Biological mecha are different from pure mechanical mecha; they have very strict demands on the pilot’s condition. If you’re mentally fatigued, it will be even more troublesome.”
An Ruoxue agreed.
“Alright, then I’ll go back to rest now. You two should also go back and rest early.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“Mm.”
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue nodded in response.
