The waterlogged ground rippled with vibrations, creating concentric circles of movement beyond the splashes from the heavy rain. Even an ordinary person standing on the surface could feel the approaching tremors.
"Wrong footsteps! It's not a Tyrant! Seriously, it's just an experimental model, and we couldn't stop it?! Collaborating with you is pointless!" Yang Xiaoyou's eyes narrowed slightly. Despite having recently acquired important items, his mood darkened instantly.
During this operation, Hive Security Company and the representatives of the Chinese Empire were completely tied together. Based on the personnel distribution from both sides and their advantages, they had confirmed their respective directions. Hive Security Company utilized its elite infiltration capabilities to raid the base and gather intelligence.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Empire relied on heavy weaponry advantages and collaborated with local forces to capture the Experimental Unit.
Analyzing the movements of the enemy, Yang Xiaoyou was nearly certain about their target location. He had already instructed their 'allies' to set various traps in advance, all specifically designed for mechs.
However, he never expected that despite all this preparation, the enemy would still manage to break through! Was this really just an experimental machine? It was performing like a freak!
At that moment, Yang Xiaoyou had no time to lament about how this advanced weapon could change the battlefield of the future; he needed a way to deal with it.
Otherwise, this mech they had worked so hard to capture would likely be lost.
If a Tyrant had come instead, or even an Incomplete Form Tyrant, it could have successfully transferred items. After all, for a Tyrant, even an Incomplete Form Tyrant might be difficult to kill outright now, but diverting its attention for self-preservation was entirely feasible!
The Tyrant was indeed said to be capable of facing mechs head-on, but that was under the condition of direct melee combat! However, mechs also came equipped with ranged weapons, which posed a significant threat to the members of Hive Security Company gathered here!
Moreover, since mechs were operated by humans, he knew that their main objective was to seize the experimental machine; diverting attention was not an option.
Weighing the pros and cons in an instant, Yang Xiaoyou decisively issued a retreat order to others.
"Retreat along Route Three. Change to Route One if necessary. You take this; I'll stay behind and think of a solution."
After tossing a disk to Silence, Yang Xiaoyou rushed to the Control Panel of the Cargo Hold and began tapping furiously while his eyes flashed with a series of digital symbols.
Although it was unclear why Yang Xiaoyou chose to stay behind, in such a critical moment, Silence understood that there was no time to waste. After receiving the disk, he nodded solemnly and was the first to dive into the forest beside them.
In an instant, all the members of Hive Security Company surrounding the Cargo Hold leaped into the woods one after another.
Once the last person had slipped into the forest, Yang Xiaoyou pressed the activation button. A mechanical sound echoed as the mech covered by a Green Canvas slowly emerged from its cockpit, lifting the canvas to reveal a sleek, metallic Black Mech beneath.
“Big brother, you have to give me some face. Don’t refuse me,” Yang Xiaoyou murmured with a wry smile while touching the black Mech. It felt like he was being forced into a situation he wasn’t ready for.
With a thunderous roar that could not be drowned out even by the pouring rain, a massive silver figure suddenly leaped out from the forest beside them, landing gracefully in front of the Cargo Hold.
The agile movements of this Silver Mech made it seem almost alive, displaying an impressive dexterity that belied its mechanical nature.
Once it stabilized, the Silver Mech raised its hand and grabbed a Licker that was still clinging to its back, effortlessly pulling it off and crushing it into a twisted shape with a single squeeze before tossing it aside.
It appeared that after breaking through the traps set by the Chinese Empire, it had arrived at the base first before pursuing them!
The terror of this machine was evident.
Suddenly, the head of the Silver Mech transformed as ripples shot out from its eye sockets. It began to approach the Cargo Hold, each mechanical step sending vibrations through the ground.
However, when it was less than ten meters away from the Cargo Hold, it abruptly halted. With a powerful leap backward, it simultaneously lowered its shoulder-mounted Electromagnetic Cannon and fired several azure energy projectiles that sliced through the rain and shot forward.
The air shimmered with distorted waves as the projectiles vaporized the rain around them.
At that moment, what had seemed like an ordinary Cargo Hold erupted violently. A black machine burst forth in a frenzy, evading multiple attacks with astonishing agility. Finally, it raised its hand and used a high-frequency cutting dagger to deflect the last projectile, slicing it in half as it flew off in opposite directions!
The seemingly massive and clumsy Mech executed such agile movements, creating a striking visual contrast. The missed shots struck the ground, causing tremendous vibrations and destruction! Even armored units couldn't withstand such attacks.
A swift aerial flip brought the Mech to a steady halt in front of the Silver Mech, with a dagger held horizontally across its chest, poised to unleash an attack or defend at any moment.
The sound of mechanical friction accompanied its movements, embodying a passionate aesthetic reminiscent of Heavy Metal Music.
The black and silver Mechs faced off from a distance, creating an overwhelming sense of tension.
"What kind of fellow is this? Is there a pilot like this in America or Britain? How long has it been since they emerged?"
Digital symbols flickered in his vision as Yang Xiaoyou gazed at the silver Mech, his heart pounding with shock.
He understood that the Mechs had appeared much earlier than he remembered, and with the changes in the timeline, many issues could no longer be resolved as they had in his memories.
This sudden emergence of a mysterious fellow was enough to highlight the problem.
He had initially planned to launch a quick surprise attack when the opponent got closer, aiming to injure their legs and make an escape. However, he never expected to be discovered ahead of time!
His ability to master Mech control so swiftly was largely due to his mental connection with the system, allowing the entire Mech to become an extension of himself, merging into one entity.
But the opponent possessed true operational skills and formidable physical prowess!
That combat awareness and sharp intuition were impressively intimidating!
If this was indeed the caliber of his opponent, things would become quite difficult. The reason he had entered the Mech instead of fleeing was that upon connecting with the Mech's system, he discovered that this particular machine was under restrictions!
Not only was there no long-range attack device, but there was also a maximum load limit that could not exceed a set threshold.
It was likely a protective measure of the Experimental Unit, directly integrated into the core system, making it impossible to change directly.
Choosing to flee at this moment would only result in being chased and attacked from behind, which would be tragic.
If Yang Xiaoyou was surprised, then Luo Guohui on the opposite side was completely shocked!
He understood the situation with Unit Four very well, but he had just been perfectly outmaneuvered by the opponent! Especially that last incredible block, it almost made him want to turn and run.
Although it was an Aerial Electromagnetic Cannon, which couldn't compare to Shipborne systems, its muzzle velocity was still several times the speed of sound. After firing, evading or blocking was absolutely impossible. The opponent had perfectly predicted his shooting trajectory and made the best choice in an instant; this level of control over power could only be described as divine skill!
What was even more alarming was that the mecha belonged to his own country. Why could that fellow unleash such terrifying power right after getting a feel for it? Even the previous Unit Four pilots had never reached this level.
If the opponent had been practicing with a counterfeit experimental machine that didn't have an Anti-Lock System installed, the differences in components would require considerable time to get accustomed to.
It was like how an ace pilot of an F-16 would need time to adapt when flying an F-35.
Yet here was someone who picked it up and performed like this right away.
Well, if it weren't for the overwhelming strength displayed, Luo Guohui might have thought there was a traitor among his country's pilots. However, clearly, none of the pilots he knew possessed such abilities; it was genuine talent!
A talent that was terrifying! Even despairing!
In an instant, both sides found themselves in a stalemate.
Yang Xiaoyou dared not move, for the opponent possessed a sharp long-range attack. He was still a novice, and the limitations of his mech left him at a disadvantage.
Luo Guohui remained still due to the early device testing. He had discovered that the shoulder-mounted Electromagnetic Cannon had significant side effects. Even with the Deactivator, each shot affected his balance, and missing would cost him the initiative.
Moreover, he had just broken through a trap specifically designed for him, and the rescue mission to the base had not only exhausted him but also pushed his mech's load beyond its limits.
Failing to impose extreme restrictions meant that the mech's wear and tear rate would be quite fast! The stored energy was already running low.
At the same time, both sides were equally reluctant to delay. Luo Guohui was worried about the group setting traps for him, while Yang Xiaoyou was concerned about the support troops from the Anglo-American Side.
Just as both sides found themselves in a predicament, suddenly, a massive tremor shook the ground.
It was far more intense than the vibrations caused by the mech's initial jumps. A rumbling sound began to echo through the mountains.
A torrent of yellow-brown mud mixed with rolling stones cascaded down the mountainside. Under the relentless rain and the tremendous vibrations caused by the mech, along with the bombardment of the Electromagnetic Cannon, the mountain could no longer bear its burden and unleashed a mudslide!
In an instant, both sides seized the opportunity and charged forward, colliding with each other in an explosive clash.
