Chapter 65: Defeat
by SunflowerAt this moment, Li Fubai also controlled Iron Head, picked up the HD-01 rocket launcher he was carrying, and fired it at the Gun Knight.
The Gun Knight drew his red metal long spear, turned around, and pierced through the incoming rocket with a single thrust.
Boom!
Accompanied by a huge explosion.
The Gun Knight was immediately engulfed by the explosion’s flames.
“That’s great, Brother Li!”
Wu Bo and the others shouted excitedly when they saw this scene.
However, when the explosion’s flames dissipated, everyone saw the Gun Knight standing still, his armor showing no significant damage other than some scorch marks.
Their initial joy instantly plummeted to rock bottom.
“This, this is impossible to beat! I don’t want to die here.”
At this time, a student controlling Iron Head had a mental breakdown and controlled his mech to turn and run.
As a result, the Gun Knight directly turned his head to look at the fleeing Iron Head, raised his left hand towards him, and revealed a concealed beam cannon muzzle.
Zzzzz~
A red beam instantly blew up the fleeing Iron Head.
Su Ming and the others felt their hearts grow heavier as they watched this scene; they couldn’t win, and they couldn’t escape.
“What an idiot, Chu Yu, Sun Yue, you two come with me!”
Li Fubai cursed angrily, then threw away the rocket launcher and switched to a red metal mechanical blade.
“Understood.”
Lin Chuyu calmly replied.
Immediately after, Li Fubai, Lin Chuyu, and Sun Yue, all holding red metal mechanical blades, spread out and simultaneously attacked the Gun Knight from different directions.
Seeing this, Su Ming also switched to his red alloy blade without hesitation and charged forward.
Facing the encirclement of four Iron Heads, the Gun Knight showed no panic, merely raising the tip of his spear slightly.
Lin Chuyu was the first to close in from the left, swinging the red metal mechanical blade in her hand towards the Gun Knight.
The Gun Knight swung his long spear to sweep her away.
Crack~
With the collision of the two weapons, Lin Chuyu was swept away by the immense force, her entire mechanical arm twisted.
At this moment, Sun Yue attacked from the back-left, jumping up as she closed in, and thrusting the red metal dagger in her hand towards the back of the Gun Knight’s head.
The Gun Knight tilted his head to the right, directly dodging Sun Yue’s attack, the red metal mechanical blade almost grazing his head.
“How is that possible?”
Sun Yue’s eyes widened.
Just then, the Gun Knight raised his left hand, grabbed Sun Yue’s mech arm, and fiercely swung her towards the attacking Li Fubai.
Li Fubai was startled and controlled Iron Head to dodge.
At this moment, Su Ming appeared on the Gun Knight’s side, and the red alloy blade in his hand sharply slashed towards the Gun Knight.
However, the Gun Knight swiftly dodged, and the red alloy blade cut through empty air.
At this moment, the Gun Knight’s crimson electronic eyes instantly locked onto Su Ming.
Su Ming’s heart trembled violently, instinctively feeling extreme danger, a sensation like being targeted by a ferocious beast.
The next second, the Gun Knight swung the red metal long spear in his hand, sweeping it upwards from below.
He performed an extreme maneuver, activating his auxiliary thrusters, forcefully pushing his mech to move horizontally and dodge.
Crack!
Iron Head’s right arm was sliced off, sparks flying from the severed joint.
“Bastard!”
Chen Tong saw Su Ming was in danger, raised his grenade launcher, and fired a shot at the Gun Knight.
The Gun Knight backhanded his spear to explode the incoming grenade, then, undisturbed, locked onto Su Ming; in his eyes, Su Ming was the highest threat.
Su Ming then gritted his teeth, controlling his mech, and charged towards Li Fubai in a desperate state.
The Gun Knight pushed off the ground with his toes and rushed towards Su Ming.
At this moment, Li Fubai saw Su Ming bringing the Gun Knight charging towards him and roared in shock and anger.
“Don’t come over!”
But Su Ming didn’t listen at all; instead, he pushed his power to the maximum.
In a flash, Su Ming rushed in front of Li Fubai, and at this moment, the Gun Knight also appeared behind Su Ming, fiercely thrusting his spear towards Su Ming’s back.
At this moment, Su Ming performed an extreme maneuver, tilting the entire Iron Head mech to the side.
Immediately, Li Fubai was exposed in front of the Gun Knight; he looked at the Gun Knight’s thrusting long spear, terrified, and raised his hands to cross-block.
Crack!
The red metal long spear directly pierced through the crossed mechanical arms and plunged straight into Li Fubai’s cockpit.
The Iron Head controlled by Su Ming, due to the excessive range of motion, lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground.
Inside the cockpit, Su Ming was violently jolted, and his internal organs ached faintly.
He shook his head and looked up at the operating screen.
“Warning: Mech right arm damaged!”
“Warning: HD31 circuit damaged!”
“Warning: External armor damage reaches 37%!”
Seeing the mech’s poor condition, Su Ming quickly scanned his surroundings.
At this moment, he saw a partially open ground crew access tunnel entrance not far away, sloping downwards.
Su Ming decisively released his safety buckle and pulled down the emergency cockpit switch.
Hiss~
With the pressure release, the cockpit opened.
Su Ming jumped out of the cockpit and ran desperately towards the access tunnel entrance.
Not long after he started running, he saw the body of a ground combat student and immediately bent down to pick up a rifle.
At this moment, the Gun Knight flung the pierced Iron Head away, then his crimson electronic eyes locked onto the fleeing Su Ming, and he quickly raised his left arm, preparing to blast Su Ming with a single shot.
Boom~
A grenade suddenly hit his back and exploded.
The Gun Knight stumbled, losing his target. Then his crimson electronic eyes glowed red, and several mechanical spiders crawled out from the corner, chasing after Su Ming.
Immediately after, the Gun Knight turned to look at Chen Tong, who had attacked him.
“Damn it, come and hit me!”
Chen Tong fired another shot at the Gun Knight, attracting his attention.
At this time, Su Ming struggled to rush into the access tunnel; as he dashed downwards, he suddenly heard a rustling movement behind him.
Su Ming immediately felt a bad premonition, turned his head to look back, and instantly saw two mechanical spiders with red eyes chasing after him.
Bang bang!
Su Ming immediately turned and sprayed them with his rifle, and the two mechanical spiders were immediately blown up by him.
However, three more mechanical spiders then emerged.
Su Ming’s face darkened, and he fired another burst of bullets; he didn’t care if he had killed them or not, turned, entered the tunnel, and dashed downwards.
Soon, Su Ming rushed into the Interstellar Airport’s underground area.
The entire underground area’s walls and structures were constructed entirely of thickened reinforced concrete, appearing very thick and rough; under the dim emergency lights, endless crisscrossing passages extended to various areas, with numerous sealed rooms along the way.
Su Ming quickly scanned his surroundings and then saw a half-open room on his right-hand side.
He rushed into that room without any hesitation, then hid against the wall behind the door.
Su Ming forcibly suppressed his heavy breathing; he didn’t know why, but he felt extremely tired, as if his strength had been drained.
A few minutes later, Su Ming felt his heart calm down, and he roughly scanned the room he was hiding in.
This was a utility room, filled with overturned storage boxes; besides that, there was nothing special.
Suddenly, there was movement outside the room, and the sound kept getting closer to him.
Su Ming held his breath, gripping his rifle with both hands, the sound growing closer and closer.
