Chapter 389: If One Goes and Doesn’t Return, Then One Goes and Doesn’t Return
In the driver’s seat, on the command console, Jiang Wuyang’s voice rang out over the public network.
Luo Yan held his breath, afraid of missing important information.
“100 kilometers away from the target location.”
“We will soon face the first attack.”
“Units 1 to 3, Number Zero, get ready, raise shields, defend!”
There was a pause in the communication channel, and Jiang Wuyang said solemnly, “Pilot of Units 1 to 3, Number Zero, on behalf of all the residents of Changping City, allow me to express our highest respect to you!”
“Changping City will never forget your efforts and contributions!”
Luo Yan felt a heavy heart.
In the first stage of the battle, most mechas did not have the ability to fight in high altitude.
So, we need to use the ‘Empty Wing Type 3′ aircraft for high-altitude drops.
During this process, the group of mechas projected into the forbidden airspace will definitely come under attack.
Since they can’t maneuver as flexibly in the air as they can on the ground, they have to advance facing the giant beast’s firepower during this drop.
According to Changping City’s arrangements.
The entire assault team is led by mechas from the city of Changping.
Mechas from Pingyao and Yanshi cities are at the very end.
Even though it’s still very dangerous after landing in the forbidden area, at least the mechas from these two cities can be considered the safest in the landing battle.
The most dangerous position in the entire landing battle is undoubtedly the vanguard.
For the vanguard, this is almost a fight to the death.
They needed to defend with all their might, intercept the firepower of the giant beast, and open up a relatively safe landing path for their friendly aircraft behind them.
This impossible task fell onto the shoulders of Mecha Zero 1 to 3.
The pilots of these thirty aircraft were not active Mecha Masters from Changping City.
After devising a battle plan, the Changping Army Group recalled all retired pilots and recruited 30 volunteers in a voluntary manner.
The average age of these 30 volunteers was around 40 years old, and they were unable to continue in service for various reasons, finding it difficult to control mechas for regular combat.
However, they could still manage to pilot the mechas for shield assaults.
This was a battle that was destined to be a one-way journey. When recalling the retired pilots, Jiang Wuyang was already prepared for a no-return scenario.
Surprisingly, there were still many people willing to join the battle. In the end, Jiang Wuyang had to exclude those with families from the selection process, and finally identified the thirty Mecha Masters.
Now, they listened to Jiang Wuyang’s words.
In the communication channel, there were cheerful voices, though not young anymore.
“Jiang, you’re too serious. The army still remembers me, Lao Chen. Let me fight for the survival of the underground city with my life. It’s worth it even if I die!”
“My wife and children were eaten by a giant beast, even my legs were fed to the giant beast. I’m not afraid of death, I just want to kill all those beasts!”
“I don’t have much time left anyway, the doctor said I only have a year and a half at most. Let me make the most of it now, let me die heroically on the battlefield, not in a smelly sickbed. I couldn’t be happier!”
“Yes, yes, guys, how did that song go? Oh, I remember now.”
Then a playful tune played.
“Great Sage, where are you going?”
“I’m off to the Southern Heaven, breaking through the firmament.”
“And if you don’t return?”
“Then, they went away and never came back!”
Headquarters of Changping Army.
On the bridge of the ship, listening to the playful chatter on the communication channel, Jiang Wuyang’s eyes were red with anger, his hands gripping the railing so tightly that his pale knuckles were visible.
Inside the command center, everyone stopped their work, stood up silently, and saluted solemnly.
These words echoed in every shelter throughout the city.
The 560,000 residents of Changping City, men, women, and children, all bowed in respect!
Up in the sky.
Numbers 1 to 3 of Zero Mecha raised their shields and set up rifle cannons.
Following them, the Mecha Master skilled in mystical arts from the rear cast defensive mystical arts to protect these mechas.
After preparing this, the forward mecha group crashed into the Kun Fish’s super anti-membrane and plunged into the thick clouds crackling with electricity and thunder.
Upon entering the Anti-Membrane and clouds, in the front-most mecha, inside the cockpit, a middle-aged pilot with salt-and-pepper beard looked out from the panoramic window and saw millions of lights shining in the distance.
The countless lights were like reflected stars.
In the next moment, an equal number of biological energy beams rushed towards them; it turned out that those lights were high-energy rays emitted by female giant fleas from their back horns!
“Wow, that’s quite a spectacle!”
“Worth it!”
The middle-aged pilot shouted and activated a technique, unleashing a small amount of Elemental Power to add an extra layer of defense to the mecha.
In the blink of an eye.
The forward mecha group encountered intense firepower attacks. The Mecha Masters didn’t even need to aim, they just unleashed their weapons’ ammunition to the fullest.
From every rifle, cannon, and missile launcher, every bullet, shell, and missile fired is the roar of human counterattack!
Two kilometers high in the dense clouds, rays and bullets crisscross.
The clash of beams and metal, the confrontation between humans and giant beasts, unfolds at this moment!
Even inside the cockpit, even when the mecha is surrounded by howling winds.
Meng Fanxi can also hear various rumblings ahead.
At this moment, his whole body trembled, shaking so much that his vision became blurry.
But he clenched his teeth tightly and kept staring ahead.
When his mecha also plunged into the thick clouds, Meng Fanxi’s pupils suddenly dilated.
Outside the panoramic viewport, within the entire field of view, the vanguard mecha group serving as the first line of defense, with some mecha either having their shields shattered or using their bodies to shield their friendly mecha behind them from enemy fire.
Either out of ammunition, lost the shield, with no protection at all. Simply rush forward at full speed, block enemy attacks, turn yourself into a bomb, crash into the swarm, detonate the energy furnace, turn into a dazzling fireball, and end your journey in the most splendid way!
“Damn…”
“You bastards!”
Meng Fanxi roared, eyes red, raised his sniper rifle, aimed at a giant flea a kilometer away, and shot it in the head!
On the communication channel, Captain Ma Shuo’s voice came through.
“Stay calm!”
“Our target is not these insects!”
“Don’t waste the path our predecessors opened for us!”
Ma Shuo’s voice trembled, evidently trying hard to control himself.
Meng Fanxi’s chest rose and fell, but he nodded and held back his anger.
Right behind the captain, among the flickering light, they raced towards the distant giant fish.
In the ‘Bian’ cockpit, at this moment, Luo Yan could no longer see the live feed on the holographic window.
The group of drones following closely was destroyed by various energy impacts as they entered the thick clouds.
Luo Yan could only look out of the panoramic window at the distant war clouds flickering with fire.
Gripping the floating point controller tightly, he whispered in his heart.
“Charge ahead.”
“We must, charge ahead!”
