Chapter 359: Using a Cannon to Kill a Mosquito
If Luo Yan wasn’t worried about damaging the “Butcher” and being unable to retrieve the mecha, he would have used his secret techniques and skills in the morning.
Also, the attack would have targeted the engine instead of the energy furnace, simply because the furnace is more expensive compared to the engine in the same category.
At this moment, Liu Xiao turned into a fireball and fell towards the forest.
Suddenly, the fireball exploded into countless flames, while another figure swiftly descended towards the forest.
Luo Yan exclaimed in surprise, as in his “Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes,” Liu Xiao’s blood value did not drop to zero.
That man is still alive!
Indeed, Liu Xiao was still alive. He unleashed his Elemental Power, causing his clothes and flames to burst open.
He barely managed to save his life.
However, he suffered severe burns all over his body. Even if he were to recover now, he would end up looking like a monster.
But now, Liu Xiao had no time to worry about all that, he didn’t even have the energy to think about why Liu Jun would betray him.
He landed on the forest floor, ignoring the fact that his body was sticking together from severe burns, gritting his teeth and running.
These actions tore his flesh, causing specks of black blood and burnt skin to splatter on the ground.
God knows what kind of pain Liu Xiao is enduring right now, but his willpower is astonishing. The desire to survive overcame the pain, and he ran through the forest like a wild man.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from behind. Liu Xiao looked up, using his one remaining eye.
He saw a large black shadow plummeting from the sky.
Liu Xiao wanted to scream.
However, due to his severe burns, he couldn’t utter a single word.
Only two words kept swirling in his mind: It’s over!
It was a missile.
And it was a missile targeting the giant beast!
Don’t talk about missiles, even a regular mecha rifle bullet.
Without defense or dodging, even a high-level being would be smashed into a pulp.
Not to mention missiles.
In the face of such weapons, even high-level beings would be powerless.
Unless using some special Divine Hidden Art, there is a chance to escape from such deadly weapons.
Unfortunately, Liu Xiao’s Divine Hidden Art only focuses on increasing combat power without any special or mysterious abilities.
The missile falls down.
Boom!
The entire forest shook violently, a huge fireball rose up into the sky, countless trees were thrown into the air, smashed to pieces, and finally caught fire and burned, scattered like raindrops.
The explosion created a strong wind that passed by each mecha.
After the shockwave settled, Luo Yan looked through ‘Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes’ again, but Liu Xiao’s biological glow was no longer visible.
Bombing Liu Xiao with mecha missiles felt like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, and it was also expensive.
However, considering the opponent’s high level, it was not a waste to spend money.
Liu Xiao’s defeat this time had two reasons.
Firstly, he underestimated Team 7, did not expect Red Ghost to acquire mecha, and misjudged Yu Qiushui’s investment in Team 7.
Secondly, Guan Peng never thought there was another Mecha Master in Team 7, and did not expect Guan Peng to steal and use Liu Jun’s mecha to confront him.
One wrong step leads to another.
Liu Xiao made two wrong steps!
Luo Yan controlled the mecha and ran towards the remaining ‘Green Snake’ from Team 3, without paying attention to Liu Xiao.
The bald Yu Bai inside ‘Green Snake’ watched his captain disappear in the flames of the missile explosion, feeling disheartened.
He sighed and opened the mecha’s external speaker, speaking up.
“I surrender.”
“You can have this mecha too.”
“I have one request.”
“You can’t kill me.”
Although he was Liu Xiao’s loyal follower, he now had to think about his own life since Liu Xiao was dead.
He had always been faithful to Liu Xiao, but now his own survival was his top priority.
He didn’t have the hobby of sacrificing himself for others, so he surrendered willingly.
“I have the power of a junior master, and I am familiar with Team 3’s industry and personnel.”
“If Captain Red Ghost wants to smoothly take over Team 3, I can help, even be the bad guy if needed.”
“So you see, I still have a little bit of usefulness.”
Luo Yan naturally didn’t like people like Yu Bai, he preferred someone like Wei Junyi.
But the bald man was telling the truth; with Yu Bai’s help, taking over and using Team 3’s assets would be quicker.
Also, Yu Bai himself said he wasn’t afraid to be the bad guy. This way, besides being loyal to Luo Yan, he didn’t have a better choice.
Then Luo Yan said, “Okay.”
“Let’s go with this plan.”
He agreed right away, but in his mind, several things crossed his thoughts.
Items in the Heiwu shop used to control subordinates.

Silver Bay Base.
Inside the Black Scorpion Bar, a man was lying on the bar counter, reeking of alcohol, babbling nonsense.
Just then, the bar was pushed open, and a man in his mid-twenties hurriedly walked over, patting the shoulder of the man on the bar counter.
“Old Xing, Old Xing, wake up quickly.”
The man known as ‘Old Xing’ swayed, lifted his head, and barely opened his eyes a crack.
“Liu Jun…”
“Get lost!”
“I’m off work!”
“I’ve said it before, no overtime!”
“Even if Liu Xiao looks for me, he can come back tomorrow.”
“Anyway, I’ve got nothing to lose, he can kill me if he wants.”
“But asking me to work overtime, no way!”
His loud voice drowned out the other sounds in the bar, making Liu Jun feel embarrassed.
Liu Jun could only whisper in his ear, “Captain Liu… has passed away.”
The man was surprised, suddenly wide awake, jumped up and grabbed Liu Jun by the collar, “Is it true?”
Liu Jun forced a smile, “There’s no benefit in lying to me.”
“Anyway, our Team 3 has changed.”
“Captain Liu died in battle, Yu Bai betrayed us, and now Team 3 has been taken over by Team 7. Red Ghost is now our leader. Oh.”
But Old Xing just laughed heartily.
“Alright, he died well!”
“I, Xing Chengang, finally waited for this day.”
“Let’s go, take me to meet the one who killed Liu Xiao, I need to thank him properly!”
Liu Jun frowned sadly. The middle-aged man had a deep grudge against Liu Xiao, but for some reason, he had to work for Liu Xiao.
He could understand Old Xing’s feelings, but when he heard the middle-aged man’s words, Liu Jun, who hadn’t adjusted his mood yet, felt quite uncomfortable.
“Follow me.”
He took Old Xing away. After the two left, the people in the Black Scorpion Bar hurriedly ran out.
It wasn’t long before the entire base knew that Liu Xiao had died.
Base, a place where mechas are parked.
Luo Yan was maintaining the long sword ‘Ring Dragon’ when Yu Bai beside him said, “Captain Red Ghost, the person I told you about has arrived.”
Luo Yan then looked up and saw Mecha Master Liu Jun leading a middle-aged man over.
The man had a scruffy beard, a cigarette in his mouth, a bottle of white wine in his hand, wore a oil-stained work suit, slippers on his feet, revealing dark toes.
Luo Yan saw the impressive appearance and said with disbelief, “Is this your Team 3’s mecha engineer?”
Yu Bai nodded, “Xing Chengang, among all the bases in the northern region, there is no engineer better than him!”
