Chapter 68: Deduction

Su Ming walked to the center, squatted down, picked up a document from the ground, and quickly browsed through it.

“You’re flipping so fast, can you even see the content?” Chen Tong asked, extremely surprised.

Su Ming didn’t answer Chen Tong’s question. Instead, he became more and more excited as he flipped through the pages. When he reached the last page, which listed the declared goods, he happily exclaimed, “Excellent! Just as I suspected, there’s a high-level Mecha here, and it’s a Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight!”

“Really?” Chen Tong asked, incredulously.

“Follow me. That Gun Knight is in the B3 Storage Area.” Su Ming immediately led Chen Tong away.

On the way, Chen Tong asked, very puzzled, “Su Ming, how did you know there was a high-level Mecha here?”

“By deduction!”

“Huh? What deduction?”

“When I was searching in that workroom earlier, I inadvertently saw the header of a scattered declaration document on the ground. It said Lomoske Interstellar Heavy Industry. Lomoske Interstellar Heavy Industry is an old-brand weapon manufacturer on our Old Federation·Di Yan Star. They mainly produce warships and Mechas, so their shipments are basically never too bad.”

“So I hurried over to take a look, and it turns out I was right. Sure enough, among this batch of goods in the B3 Storage Area, there are not only five Second Generation Mecha·Flame Riders, but also a Third Generation Mecha! And coincidentally, this batch of goods was ordered by the Third Planet·Thirteenth District. Because they received the goods not long ago, they didn’t have time to transfer them before they were destroyed. This incident is very famous in the Thirteenth District and is still a point of contention even now.”

Su Ming simply explained to Chen Tong.

“Amazing! You can even notice such details. If it were me, I probably wouldn’t even bother looking at the scattered documents on the ground.” Chen Tong said admiringly.

“It’s alright, let’s hurry over.” Su Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly.

“No problem. Once we get the Mecha, we must teach Li Fubai and his gang a lesson!” Chen Tong’s expression was very agitated; he could finally vent his anger.

Third Planet·Thirteenth District Interstellar Military Airport.

Inside the Fish Dolphin’s command room.

General Ames sat in the command chair, looking at the grid images on the screen, a hint of anger on his face.

Xia An sighed slightly and softly said to Ames, “General, isn’t the difficulty of this exam too high? All the candidates have basically died, with only a small portion escaping into the airport’s underground area and some scattered throughout Manhawei City. It’s impossible for them to turn the tide and successfully defend the airport with just them. We can basically declare the clearance a failure.”

“Is the failure their problem, or the exam’s problem? So many people, so many weapons, if only they had been a little more united, a little more skilled, how could they not break through the Manhawei Interstellar Military Airport?” General Ames slammed the armrest, replying in a furious tone.

The personnel present, seeing Ames’s anger, were all silent, no one daring to speak up and provoke him at that moment.

However, to be fair, the battle was indeed a miserable sight.

First and foremost, the students from the command department were almost blindly commanding. Not a single warship was able to break through the firepower net to conduct close-range strikes on the Interstellar Airport and provide fire support.

As for the combat personnel, there’s no need to mention them; they were basically a disorganized mess, each fighting their own battle.

Especially those stubborn fellows who, without fire support, dropped straight into the Interstellar Military Airport like dumplings. It’s hard to tell whether to praise their bravery or their lack of common sense.

Xia An sighed to herself. Seeing General Ames so furious, she did not continue to persuade him.

On the other side, at the Manhawei Interstellar Military Airport·Large Underground Exit.

Li Fubai, controlling the Flame Rider, coldly said to the remaining few ground combat students, “Go out and scout the situation outside!”

“Brother Li, us going out alone? Won’t it be too dangerous?” The students all looked troubled. Sending them to scout, wasn’t that using them as cannon fodder?

“Go!” Li Fubai gave them no choice.

“If Brother Li tells you to go, then go. What’s with all the nonsense? If you keep dragging your feet, we’ll kick you out of the team, and then you won’t get the collaborative combat points.” Wu Bo threatened fiercely.

These students had no choice but to cautiously sneak out, trembling.

They carefully crept to the edge of the outer exit, poking half their heads out to glance outside.

At this moment, the outer surface was empty, with no enemy figures in sight.

These ground combat students gathered their courage and walked out.

They cautiously searched forward. Just as they passed a surface warehouse nearby, they immediately saw the Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight standing alone in an open space in the distance.

“Get down!” These ground combat students quickly dropped to the ground, afraid of being discovered.

They composed themselves and looked around. They found that the area around the Gun Knight was empty, with no enemy figures in sight.

So they ran back with great joy, quickly reaching Li Fubai and the others.

“Brother Li, we’ve finished scouting.”

“That fast? You didn’t properly scout, did you?” Li Fubai frowned slightly, looking at these ground combat students.

“Don’t worry, Brother Li, we’ve scouted everything clearly. That Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight is at the 3 o’clock direction from the exit, and we didn’t see any enemy figures around it.”

“That’s right, we’ve scouted all around.” These students reported eagerly.

Upon hearing this, Li Fubai’s last trace of concern was immediately dispelled. He turned to everyone and said, “Chu Yu, Sun Yue, you two will flank it with me from the front. The rest of you are responsible for assisting!”

“No problem.” Lin Chuyu and the others responded seriously.

“Success or failure rests on this one move. Let’s go!” Li Fubai, controlling the Second Generation Mecha·Flame Rider, took the lead and charged out.

Lin Chuyu and the others piloted their Mechas, following closely behind.

On the surface of the Interstellar Military Airport, the Gun Knight stood quietly in the open space.

Suddenly, its eyes lit up, instantly detecting movement from behind, and it turned around.

At this moment, Li Fubai and the others, controlling their Flame Riders, charged over. They moved at high speed, spreading out to completely encircle the Gun Knight.

Facing Li Fubai and the others’ encirclement, the Gun Knight did not flee but stood still.

Lin Chuyu felt something was off when she saw this scene. But the arrow was already on the string, and it had to be fired.

Any hesitation now would mean dooming their other teammates.

Soon, Li Fubai and the others completed their encirclement and shouted excitedly, “Wu Bo, you guys attack!”

“Alright!” Wu Bo and the others immediately opened the hidden artillery device equipped on the Flame Rider’s left arm and fired comprehensively at the Gun Knight!

Meanwhile, Li Fubai went full power, swift as a leopard, and charged the Gun Knight head-on.

Lin Chuyu and Sun Yue flanked it from both sides.
