Chapter 120: Getting Involved (2/2)

The guarding bird-mech in misconduct realized the fact that he was put under such an embarrassment because of this novice. ”How would the group see me if I let a Greenbird nearly escape?” Shamefully he was angered as he actually made such a silly mistake. He activated all the cartridge in his mech and locked on the damned Greenbird. The pilot needed to be taught a lesson of life that mockery could cost! All it took would be a tap on the button, then that pilot would be in ashes!

”Hold your fire! Wait for the boss, he wants the pilot. Don’t kill the person just yet,” the pilot in the wolf-mech calmly spoke.

It looked like the pilot of the wolf-mech was the leader of all 5 mechs. The pilot on the bird-mech was biting his teeth and grudgingly lifted his hands away from the control panel, obeying the order in rationality.

”Wait, if this guy is out and the boss is still in, does that mean something has happened to our boss?” the pilot in the wolf-mech was horrified.

The others seemed shocked upon hearing the inference too.

Boom! Abruptly, the sound of explosion roared in the midst of disbelief, as the 4 men witnessed their leader being transformed into countless specks. To their horror, there was no explosion actually! It sounded like an explosion but visually they just saw their leader ”fragmenting”. It was an unforgettable scene that would scar them for life. Within the flying specks of the mech, a mech with 4 arms and 2 faces drew near the remaining mates.

”Leader!” The 4 men were agonized. They could never believe the fact that their charismatic leader who cracked jokes with them before would be assassinated in split seconds right in front of them!

Who exactly was this strange mech?

The mystery only flashed in their mind once. That was no longer the matter! The remaining thoughts in their heads were about how they should slaughter and mince this merciless inhumanity into million pieces to avenge their brother! Their eyes were all in brute.

They went performing the inputs on the control panel, as they looked at their interfaces. To their terror, the screen displayed nothing! ”But he is there! He’s right there!” one man stuttered with his lips shaking.

Impossible! The 4 men could not believe their eyes.

”Get to manual!” The pilot of the bird-mech was unexpectedly aware of the situation as he screamed. He then shifted from automatic/partial-automatic lock-on shooting mode to manual mode. As reminded by him, the remaining men also switched to manual mode.

”Finally we get to manual mode.” The pilot in the bird-mech was relieved a little, believing that with his skill, he could finish the person for sure! The leader of their brotherhood had always complimented his shooting talents.

”I must avenge our brother!” Agony flooded his mind, his mental clarity had never felt so above-average before.

”It has to work!”

”Hahahahahahahahahaha! I’ll make sure you die in peace!” These were merely thoughts in his head. His hands trembled, holding the bullseye around; his eyes were glued on the screen, searching for that odd machine in desperation. ”Where?! Where is he!” The strange mech seemed to have disappeared, leaving that greenhorn Greenbird all horrified, quivering at the corner.

”Third-eldest br- look out!” ”Brother look out!” It happened so fast that the younger brother could not even address his elder brother in time.

The pilot in the bird-mech had his heart skipped a beat. ”Don-Don’t tell m-”

A severe pain shrouded his body. He passed out next. In blurry vision, he felt the world spinning like merry-go-round as he saw his life all over again. He saw the strange mech, the specks around him, the spinning mates… they were spinning too, they seemed terrified, then he saw the the leader. It was darkness after that. He knew nothing next.

Pieces of mechs rolled over Ye Chong’s mech. Wow the 5 mechs were utter noobs! But it was weird the fact that he was never detected throughout the battle. ”Don’t tell me… Yu Di has some sort of anti-detection mechanism too?”

The blood spilled on Yu Di a little.

To prevent from being noticed due to unnecessary dramatic explosion, Ye Chong picked his trusty steed, the magnetic blade to fight instead!

The remnants were all over the place, with the blood and some charred fleshes, it was a little frightening, Ye Chong had to admit.

The Greenbird seemed to be all jammed up by the rapid development of the story. Ye Chong frowned as he figured things out - that Greenbird ran from the inside, it had probably something to do with the Dr. Lu I had been looking for… He lifted the Greenbird with the arm of his mech. It did not flail, obediently it stayed still in his grip.

Well, I’ll hold it if you don’t mind.

The weaponry on the Greenbird seemed rather obsolete and could barely scratch Yu Di, which was why Ye Chong could daringly hold it in the arms.

Ye Chong piloted Yu Di back to Dr. Lu’s residence, with Greenbird in the grip.

At one corner nearby, a very average-looking man witnessed everything with his own eyes. In excitement… or rather fear he switched on the communicator with his quivering fingers, ”Greetings…” In courtesy he spoke, ”…Mhm… Yes I saw it with my own eyes. I swear. Yes, it’s the mech, yes, 2 faces and 4 arms. I saw it very clearly, it has to be it! Yes, exactly the same as the hologram visual we had gotten. Mhm, right, he is currently at Ancient Rock Street-753. Okay, he had just entered the building… I wonder what in the Haleyson he’s doing…” The man stayed quiet for a moment, listening to the question before he carried on speaking, ”I did not see his face. Sorry. I am very sorry. Yes he was in a mech, that was why I can’t see his face… Mhm… he also killed the 5 mechs. It was horrible! I must tell you! It’s totally sinister! …Mhm, mhm, alright, thank you very much! Thank you sir! Thank you so much! I am always loyal to the organization, striving to contribute to the organization with better forces! Thank you for considering a recommendation to the leader! Thank you! Mhm, uh huh… yes! I will stay guard! I will guard this place with my life! No, no, it is what I should do always to serve you sir! Yes… truthfully yes! Good bye!”

He hung up. His eyes were fixed on the entrance of the building!
