Chapter 289: Interception
Boom!
A loud noise echoed in the base, people on the ground ran in a panic as a strong gust of wind swept them up from behind, followed by a roaring smoke engulfing them.
When they landed on the ground, they saw debris of buildings, vehicles, and other items falling like a rainstorm from above.
People’s faces turned pale as they scrambled to escape.
A soldier was running with a gun and accidentally smashed a car in front, killing several people. He wished he had two more legs like a normal person.
He got so scared that he sat down on the ground. People were passing by him, but no one stopped to help. The soldier reached out his hand, calling for help, but no one paid attention.
Suddenly, he saw a huge iron foot passing over his head.
He could see the complicated metal structure under that giant foot, with hot pipes and bolts the size of wheels.
The foot landed heavily in front of him, crushing the car that fell from the sky earlier and the people trying to escape.
A terrifying gust of wind hit him in the face. The soldier was too scared to look, so he lay on the ground, hands covering his head, praying to all the gods and Buddhas.
With his eyes closed, he heard people screaming, a giant beast roaring, and explosions.
Different kinds of sounds made him feel like he was in hell.
Suddenly, a powerful shockwave threw the soldier into the air. After a moment of flying through the clouds, he landed in a soft green area.
He bravely opened his eyes and saw a dark shadow falling in front of him, which turned out to be the head of a giant beast.
The gorilla-like giant beast with golden eyes looked at the soldier, then suddenly a lightning-fast battle axe came down, splitting the giant beast’s head in half.
The soldier looked up and saw a rugged and heavy mecha standing behind him. The mecha raised its battle axe, causing blood to spurt from the giant beast’s head, creating a fountain of blood that quickly spread on the ground next to the greenery.
The soldier quickly got up, and suddenly heard a clear chirp. Then he saw a giant bird descending from the sky, with a horn on its head.
The horn on the bird suddenly emitted a red light, followed by a conical beam of light that struck the mecha in the chest.
The mecha’s shoulders immediately lifted, and the next second, small missiles were launched one after another, hitting the large eagle in the sky. The erupting fireballs engulfed the silhouette of the giant bird.
The soldier hugged his helmet and ran towards the back of the mecha. After running a few steps, he heard a roar above his head.
He didn’t dare to look up, suddenly felt a dark shadow above, then a hot blast of air blew in, lifting him off the ground.
The soldier tumbled in the airstream, and when he landed on the ground, he saw a monstrous bird with two heads and four legs engulfed in flames, crashing into the mecha and causing a fiery explosion.
The soldier couldn’t move anymore, he was shaking all over, and his pants gradually got wet.
In the driver’s cabin of the mecha called ‘Butcher’, a man named Liu Xiao, wearing golden-rimmed glasses, now looked full of resentment.
“The giant beast of higher intelligence is not running away but chasing me to fight. Does it think I am easy to deal with?”
With a grim expression, Liu Xiao controlled the mecha to run and counterattack, suddenly hearing a loud roar from the sky.
He looked up at the sky and saw a mecha with blue flames jetting out behind it, forming a strong thrust, soaring past the base.
Liu Xiao’s pupils slightly dilated as he instantly understood that the mecha was heading to intercept the base convoy.
Cannot let it pass!
Liu Xiao acted decisively, targeting the mecha in mid-air, and fiercely threw the battle axe named ‘Slaughter’.
In the cockpit of the ‘White Dragon’, Luo Yan looked through the panoramic window and suddenly saw a rugged-looking mecha on the ground hurling a battle axe towards him.
He quickly made ‘White Dragon’ suddenly turn his body, but still got hit by the opponent’s battle axe. Luckily, it wasn’t the mecha itself that got hit, but the mortar.
The barrel of ‘Hailong’ mortar was immediately split into two pieces, one piece still hanging on the mecha, while the other piece fell down and smashed into the base.
Luo Yan didn’t stop for the mecha on the ground, ‘White Dragon’ flew past the base from above.
In the blink of an eye, the convoy fleeing from the base could already be seen in the panoramic window.
‘White Dragon’ sped away, and the convoy also spotted him as a pursuer. Two ‘Ghosts’ half-mechas continued forward, while the upper body of the mecha turned to the back, setting up anti-aircraft guns and firing continuously.
Luo Yan raised the heavy shield of the mecha to protect the body and dove down.
When approaching the ground, he turned off the jetpack, and ‘White Dragon’ landed on the ground, sliding forward in a crouched position, digging up rocks and mud, tearing a trench in the earth.
Sliding towards the convoy, the long sword ‘Flying Cloud’ swept out, shattering one ‘Ghost’ into broken pieces.
Coming to a stop, he threw the long sword, smashing the other ‘Ghost’.
Following behind the ‘White Dragon’, pulling out the long sword stuck in the ground, it arrived in front of the convoy and stabbed straight into the ground.
The driver in the front supply truck saw the mecha’s sword falling like a mountain ahead, got scared and quickly hit the brakes. He then opened the door and jumped out to escape.
The situation of the other vehicles was similar, even the base soldiers in the convoy did not have the courage to fight the mecha.
In the blink of an eye, the people in the convoy ran away clean.
Luo Yan took off his helmet, disconnected the neural link, but still maintained a connection with the mecha.
He picked up the ‘Crack Star’ and walked to the front of the supply truck.
While walking, Luo Yan remembered to scan with the ‘Eye of Reality’ and discovered a humanoid gray light in the truck compartment.
The gray light had a colorful information line on it.
Interpretation.
‘Lian Wushan, 42 years old, bodyguard.’
‘Divine Hidden Art: South Li Fire (natural)’
‘Technique: Heaven’s Path Technique.’
‘Level: Intermediate Grand Completion.’
‘Battle Techniques: 1. Poke staff; 2. Split staff; 3. Stand-and-spin flower.’
…….
After reading this information, Luo Yan squinted slightly.
“Lian Wushan is Huang Yuanhang’s bodyguard…”
With quick steps, Luo Yan reached the carriage door, drew ‘Crack Star’ and slashed it open.
As soon as they opened the door, gunshots rang out in the compartment, and bullets stopped right in front of Luo Yan.
When he opened the door, he had already activated his protective spell ‘Empty Wall’ to defend against this move.
Looking around calmly, the compartment was filled with many shelves, holding boxes of various sizes.
In the middle aisle, Lian Wushan dropped his empty gun magazine, holding a platinum staff.
One man stands guard.
Luo Yan glanced at him casually, “Drop your weapon and surrender.”
“Nonsense!”
Lian Wushan grinned maliciously, “When I was twenty, I stabbed a village bully, got ten years, and no one wanted to hire me after I got out.”
“I’m so poor that I can barely make ends meet. I don’t even have money to take care of my sick mother.”
“In the end, Mr. Huang gave me some food to eat. Since that day, I have decided that anyone who messes with Mr. Huang, I will punish them!”
“Oh.” Luo Yan got on the car, closed the door, and proceeded with his sword.
