Chapter 944: Chapter 717: Finding You a Scenic Grave
(Covering the face, sorry everyone, fell asleep after writing the first chapter yesterday, this is the second update.)
The sudden appearance of the [Destiny Weapon] in the sky above Zhongjing City was akin to a majestic deity. At the moment it took action, the nearby surveillance systems of both large and small forces finally issued a piercing alarm.
[Warning, abnormal energy wave detected over Area F of Zhongjing City.]
The urgent reminders kept echoing, as it was still daytime, the people on the streets all stared blankly up at this mecha.
Then the shock and awe surged from the depths of their hearts simultaneously, because the appearance of this mecha was simply too magnificent.
The pure white symbolizing purity and the gold symbolizing imperial power melded flawlessly together, giving it a sheen like a layer of glow under the sunlight.
The giant wheel formed by the light spears at its back carried an unimaginable visual impact.
[The opposing mecha’s communication is silent, unable to establish any contact.]
“What about the military?”
“The Military Department’s response is they temporarily don’t have the power to contain this mecha with an energy reaction already reaching S-level.”
“These damned soldiers!” a politician said venomously, but helplessly.
In the Galaxy Federation, military authority belongs to a different vertical system, completely unrestrained by political power.
So if a riot were to break out, these pure politicians would have very little say.
This scene was naturally also seen by Tang Zhi, who was hidden behind the scenes. The old man, who had maintained a blank expression from start to finish, slowly turned his head, his murky yet frightening eyes looking at the butler beside him.
“Tang Ze, where does it come from?”
The middle-aged man standing like an old pine lowered his head and replied respectfully, “Reporting to the Family Head, I… don’t know.”
“Don’t know, haha, what a good ‘don’t know’! My plans, Tang Zhi’s plans, were actually disrupted by such an inexplicable enemy, how ironic.”
Tang Zhi laughed while clutching his chest.
At this moment, his heart felt more painful than a thousand arrows piercing through.
The Capture Grass suffered a devastating blow instantly, decades of the Tang family’s efforts were lost, and the most dreadful thing was that he still didn’t know who was secretly dealing with him.
“Reporting to the Family Head, I have a guess, could it be that we’ve conflicted with another power that wants to attack the target?”
Tang Zhi closed his eyes, waved his hand.
“Tang Ze, issue a death order to Capture Grass, erase all traces, make everyone think they are the Federation army.”
The old man leaned on a cane, shakily stood up, turned his back, “No matter the outcome, for our Tang family, this unit never existed.”
Tang Ze was struck like by a bolt of lightning, his whole body chilled.
The Family Head’s meaning was already very clear, these people, this secret unit named Capture Grass, the Tang family’s years of effort, would now all be abandoned.
This old man who had controlled the Tang family for over forty years displayed decisive power and ruthlessness beyond his imagination at a critical moment.
“…Yes.”
Tang Ze took out a silver whistle, put it to his mouth, and a vaguely strange bird call sounded, drifting off into the distance.
…
“What should come will come, what should disperse will disperse, tsk tsk, suddenly realized there’s no restraining power left, really thought the actions of the Three Great Families could stay unnoticed.”
The casual voice echoed from within the [Destiny Weapon]’s cockpit, where the opulently floating mecha extended its left hand flat to its side.
From the rotating light wheel at its back, another light spear gently fell into its left palm.
Now, the Destiny Weapon held a light spear in each hand, fingers crossing, instantly transforming the two beams into two light wheels, directly projecting them forward with a slight arm tremor.
Silently, two golden lightnings instantly pierced through the sky.
At this moment, Mu Fan happened to crash through a glass curtain wall, emerging from a convenience store, hands shielding his head, floating in the air in a backstroke posture.
The gap overhead just allowed him to see the next scene clearly.
The two Tree Seagull mechas, which were firing, seemed to have noticed Mu Fan, who just revealed himself, and attempted to turn and shoot at him.
At that moment, dazzling golden rivers traversed the sky!
The just-arrived light spears intersected through the two mechas, then reversed their direction, piercing back.
They came swiftly and went just as quickly. If not for the residual golden tracks left on retinas, no one would have known there were two light spears that came and went in an instant.
A second after the light spears pierced through…
Boom!
A violent explosion resounded in the sky as Mu Fan crashed through a showcase, concealing himself once more within the building.
Who was this force this time?
While running, the thought of the Mountain Mist Association, which had previously attempted to recruit him, crossed Mu Fan’s mind.
Could this also be the work of the Mountain Mist Association?
The situation, arranged to seal his fate, was broken by outsiders consecutively. Observing the tracks of the two light spears, it was clear they weren’t coming from the direction of Dingchuan Academy, and the target wasn’t him. Hence, the force making a move was highly likely the Mountain Mist Association.
If that’s true, then from leaking the information to clearing the attacking mechas… Mu Fan would owe a great debt to them, one way or another.
“Black, how far to the destination?”
“There’s still 420 meters of obstacle course left, Mu Fan, you’re playing with fire.” Black’s voice carried concern but helplessness.
“Without this, how could we lure these pests out! Without this, how would Mountain Mist genuinely tell me where the people behind the scenes are!”
Mu Fan glanced sideways with the corner of his eye, seeing Quico leap out from the building cluster again, starting to charge towards him.
The golden light spear in the sky no longer appeared.
[They’re not making a move… is this to see the outcome between me and the Blood Teeth Team?]
The crisis felt in his heart disappeared, and Mu Fan suddenly broke through a wall, emerging, sneering at the massive Diamond man Quico across, “What, you were just saved?”
“You damn bastard, the one who was saved is you. Within ten seconds, I’ll turn you into a pool of meat paste!”
Quico roared, like a cyborg in rage mode, every step crumbling numerous stones from the ground.
At this instant, Quico’s speed almost doubled, his entire transparent diamond form tinged with a blood hue.
Mu Fan’s eyes sharp, the distance between them shortening!
However, just less than a hundred meters ahead, he finally saw the destination.
On the side of the road rose a tall barbed wire fence, and beyond the fence lay a cliff filled with rocks!
Mu Fan exerted force underfoot, charging towards the cliff.
Inside the Destiny Weapon, the Mountain Master, face indistinct, looked casually at the chase on the street, a smile playing on his lips: “Smart one.”
His eyes inadvertently glanced at a side screen, then chuckled: “Those trembling Federation forces are really pathetically weak. Hmm… it seems more interesting now.”
The Mountain Master’s gaze suddenly flashed with an odd gleam, his view shifting towards a side entrance of Dingchuan Academy.
…
With a bounding leap, Mu Fan powered his right leg to step heavily, directly breaking through the barbed wire.
His whole body traced a perfect parabola onto the cliff, a thick circle of dust bursting from underfoot, and Mu Fan finally stopped running.
Thud, thud, thud, the heavy pounding echoed, the massive Quico did not cross the barbed wire, but halted directly upon landing.
The diamond-encrusted eyes looked at Mu Fan, grinning, “Little bug, are you going to jump off? Hahaha~”
Mu Fan twisted his wrists, a slight tremor in his arms, and silver-white mechanical armor began stretching from his arms to wrists.
“No, I’m picking a scenic spot for your grave.”
Chill and humor coexisted in Mu Fan’s eyes, but suddenly his ears picked up a new sound.
Not far away, a deep, powerful sound of airwaves suddenly burst forth!
Buzz~
That sound started far and came close, accompanied by…
A faint howling sound?
