Chapter 799: Chapter 572: Living and Dying With No Regrets
Mu Fan coldly watched the Gun Knight that had just charged out in front of him, seemingly aiming to launch a flanking ambush.
He had no idea who was piloting the mecha.
Meanwhile, Jerome inside the mecha was completely unaware that below him, the very Mu Fan he was targeting was waiting for him to walk past.
However, as soon as he spoke, Black, who intercepted the signal next to him, instantly identified the owner of this mecha!
“Teresa, Fire Hills area, it’s advantageous terrain, that’s our only edge. Coming out here, do you regret it?” Jerome’s voice crackled over the radio waves.
“Major, what’s there to regret? If I was afraid of dying, would I have come here?”
“Good, cover me in a while.”
The thunderous footsteps passed by, and Mu Fan glanced at the backs of these two mechas, then chose to move in a direction forming a ninety-degree angle to them.
That direction was where the Empire’s main offensive was coming from.
The reason to go there was that Mu Fan needed to acquire a high-ranking officer’s communicator from the other side.
Infiltrate the enemy’s radio network…
Having an overview of the battlefield would give Mu Fan a better chance of surviving.
Reaching a highly concealed high rock layer, Mu Fan rolled and hid inside, holding his breath as his presence instantly faded.
If one did not specifically look towards this rock layer, it would be impossible to discover someone was hiding there.
The first few scattered soldiers passed by, Mu Fan did not move; these were the most ordinary privates.
The number of soldiers in the second batch increased, and the ranks began to change, with junior sergeants and sergeants starting to appear, but Mu Fan remained still.
Because he was waiting for Black’s signal.
The third batch arrived, and Mu Fan roughly counted over fifty Imperial soldiers passing by.
“These people won’t do; their radio signal frequencies are on the same level as the ones before.”
Black couldn’t see these living people but could catch the signal fluctuations from the communicators as they passed by; its vision was completely different from humans.
The fourth batch, the fifth batch…
When Mu Fan silently counted the passing number exceeding 150 people, Black suddenly spoke: “Target found!”
Mu Fan’s eyes lit up like a falcon’s, scanning quickly; without Black’s reminder, he had already locked onto an Imperial army major protected by four Exoskeleton Armors!
Because that person’s dark cyan uniform was too conspicuous compared to the surroundings.
However, what made Mu Fan feel troubled was that this major was also wearing a set of Exoskeleton Armor.
Five sets of armor protection, he needed to plan carefully…
“Mu Fan, this must be a high-ranking officer, find him and then eliminate him!” Black said excitedly.
The word “plan” that Mu Fan was about to say was finally swallowed down, and he forcibly suppressed his impulse to argue with Black.
Indeed, he did find him, but just rush out and eliminate him?
At the very back of the group, sixteen riflemen spread out their formation, with four Exoskeleton Armors forming a protective formation. Now, Black was directly asking him to charge through, this was really…
Mu Fan clenched his fist tightly, sorted out his words, and decided to explain the situation to this Intelligent Lifeform in a low voice: “The enemy numbers are many.”
“Oh, are there mechas?”
“No.”
“Then are you confident in not dying if you charge up?”
“Perhaps,” Mu Fan said, then thought again and repeated, but this time with only one word, “Yes.”
“In the case of not dying, do you have the confidence to eliminate that officer and get the communicator?”
“Yes…” Mu Fan still replied with one word.
“That’s unprecedented, activate your visor scan.”
Hearing this, Mu Fan activated the switch on his tactical helmet, and his vision was instantly shared with Black.
“There’s a terraced area 15.6 meters east of the target, an underground passage exists 21 meters northwest… There are 8 escape routes, 3 optimal ones; choose one.”
“15.6 meters east.” Mu Fan’s eyes glanced in that direction.
“Mu Fan, there’s a wise saying that feels apt to summarize the life of that old man Mohandas; it’s now for you.”
“What saying?”
Mu Fan supported the visor with one hand, his vision tailing the major’s figure.
“Face death indifferently, fight if you refuse to submit.” Black said with full spirit.
Sigh…
Under the monitoring of his liquid metal wristwatch, Black noticed Mu Fan’s heartbeat instantly slow by a quarter.
“What’s wrong? Give some reaction, will you?”
Mu Fan expressionlessly turned off the visor, took out the icy white mask from his pocket, and covered his face with it.
“That’s a good saying.”
“And very exhilarating.”
The aura of Ghost Energy enveloped his whole body, and Mu Fan, hiding on the shadowed side of the high rock layer, quickly entered a state of Absolute Calm.
The five Exoskeleton Armors posing the greatest threat below him were all reflected in his eyes, deep and blood-red.
His ten fingers pierced deeply into the rock layer, and Mu Fan, in a bizarre crouching posture, pressed closely to the rock layer, began to crawl out backwards.
No one knew that right above the winding mountain road they passed by, a Federation private was clinging upside down, overlooking them.
The opposing major was precisely 4 meters, 3 meters, 2 meters directly below him…
As the major was about to step into that vertical point…
Mu Fan’s countdown had already ended.
It was now!
Mu Fan lightly let go of the rock he was holding onto, and his whole body fell in free fall again.
This time, as Mu Fan fell, there seemed to be not a hint of wind sound, his muscles began to show abnormal fluctuations, and his body started to slowly stretch.
Six Forms·Soft Body!
His entire body fell gently like a feather, his body naturally rotating due to inertia, head downward.
His right hand drew a military knife from the side of his leg, the hand raised high, and after a spin, the dull blade tip was already pointed at the target below.
Hmm, a shadow?
The major, having just stepped forward, felt his vision darken slightly, causing him to suspectingly look up at the sky.
What he saw was that eerie face chilling white mask, those indifferent eyes…
And the right hand descending from the sky…
Thud!
A faint sound of a blade entering a body was heard.
With just that moment of looking up, Mu Fan’s right hand holding the knife had precisely entered the major’s forehead.
Letting go, his left hand grabbed the tactical helmet’s lower-left corner on the opponent’s head and pulled hard.
The communicator was precisely pulled out by Mu Fan.
“Thud.”
Mu Fan’s feet landed on the ground simultaneously with the major’s body.
All eyes on both sides turned towards him, and then immediately turned red with rage!
A captain in Exoskeleton Armor raised the muzzle of his gun and was about to fire madly at Mu Fan.
However, at the moment his movement started, Mu Fan had already completed the transition from extreme movement to extreme stillness, compressing potential energy into kinetic energy.
Knee bending, buffering, ejecting!
Six Forms·Charging Step!
Six Forms·Steel!
His whole body instantly closed in on the nearest Exoskeleton Armored Soldier, and in a flash, his right arm, iron-hard, struck out beyond the opponent’s view.
Boom, with the jaw-gritting sound of metal twisting, the deformed Exoskeleton Armor was heavily smashed into another, then toppled to the ground without any buffer.
A strong air current whistled past from behind, a shadow flickered across the corner of Mu Fan’s eye.
Yet his expression remained entirely unchanged.
Six Forms·Cutting!
Derivative Skill—Single Cycle Chaos!
His left arm, as if foreseeing, performed a backward elbow strike upwards.
With a loud clang, the soldier swinging a saber’s left elbow joint immediately protruded unnaturally, and the entire mechanical arm bent upward against convention.
This was a sign of steel, bones included, being directly struck and bent.
Mu Fan executed a flawless aerial backflip, while his left hand hooked onto the soldier’s bent arm.
Reverse Body·Big Tablet Fall.
Boom!
This soldier was turned into a weapon in Mu Fan’s hand and smashed the last Exoskeleton Armored Soldier to pieces.
Side-stepping, his single hand touched the ground.
Five men simultaneously met their doom!
This all happened within three seconds; it was only after hearing the unusual commotion from behind that the soldiers in front turned their heads.
An icy, white jade-like mask…
A field full of mechanical parts, corpses…
Then, a piercing wail instantly echoed through the entire squad.
The muzzles swiftly turned to aim at Mu Fan.
Fire!
