Inside the five-story building of the wastewater treatment area.
Wang Panpan was holding an ice pack to his head, troubled. He had been knocked unconscious by a group of unidentified gunmen the night before, and when he woke up, Youyou was gone.
This was not good. If Gu Ya found out his sister was missing, he would definitely not let Wang Panpan off the hook!
He was absolutely capable of beating Wang Panpan to death!
An untimely member walked over, and Wang Panpan angrily threw the ice pack at him, shouting, "Get out!"
The member dodged and said shakily, "Boss, don't worry. I was hiding in the shadows last night and saw that the mechs were marked with the 'Her City Society' logo!"
"Her City Society?" Wang Panpan frowned and, after a few seconds of thought, suddenly remembered something.
His expression darkened. He stood up, walked over to the member, and looked down at him, saying, "I got beaten up last night, and you were hiding?"
Upon hearing this, the member's legs trembled with fear.
Suddenly, he patted the member's shoulder and said, "Come with me!"
"Where are we going, Boss?"
"To get a mech for Gu Ya!"
...
"Now!" Gu Ya shouted, standing up at the same time and opening a narrow emergency hatch on the cockpit.
"Charge up and grab it!" Gu Ya shouted again, then climbed into the emergency hatch.
Wu Xuan's eyes were firm and sharp. He controlled his mech to suddenly crouch, evade Zhao Zhan's beam sword, and then pounced onto his opponent.
Maximum output!
Wu Xuan gritted his teeth and held the throttle rod tightly with both hands. The "Unyielding Resister's" rear propulsion was increased to an unprecedented intensity.
A violent tremor ran through it, making Gu Ya, who was inside the emergency hatch, feel numb all over.
This was the cockpit of a dual-pilot heavy transport mech. To ensure the safety of the mech pilot, there was always an emergency escape hatch.
At first, Gu Ya hadn't considered its use until he discovered that this passage connected to a small escape hatch on the shoulder armor. Suddenly, he thought of a plan.
The plan was still to use [Code Tampering] to paralyze the opponent.
Gu Ya didn't want to use the same method three times in a row, but in the current situation, this was his secret weapon.
Unlike fighting Axis Tiger, Gu Ya had to be faster and more accurate this time.
Removing the armor was to reduce the load, increase the airtime, and give the mech more time to stall the opponent.
But the cost was also greater.
The Unyielding Resister, carrying the Thorn Exterminator, flew into the air.
Zhao Zhan sneered, aimed his beam swords at the waist of the Unyielding Resister, and sliced with force.
The lower body of the Unyielding Resister was completely severed and fell into the "ocean."
With its lower limbs gone, the Unyielding Resister's load was further reduced, and it erupted with greater propulsion.
"Still not giving up!" Zhao Zhan was amused by his opponent's ignorance. He raised his hand, preparing to destroy the rear thruster.
Just then, Gu Ya finally emerged from the escape hatch.
He looked up. Both sides were flying tens of meters in the air.
The strong wind forced him to squint.
Suddenly, he saw the Thorn Exterminator's beam sword thrusting towards him. Gu Ya flinched and dodged. The beam sword grazed his head and plunged directly into the rear thruster.
An even more violent tremor! Gu Ya was almost thrown out of the mech.
Gu Ya tightly gripped the armor, forcefully drilled out of the hatch, leaped forward, and pounced onto the Thorn Exterminator!
Success!
Gu Ya rejoiced inwardly and, at the same time, activated his skills.
The simultaneous use of five skills!
[Mind Acceleration] could speed up brain activity sixfold.
[Adrenaline Rush] could increase limb and thought speed to three times the normal rate.
[Pain Immunity] could block interference from the tremors.
And [Weakness Scan] could quickly find vulnerabilities in the opponent's mech code.
Finally, he used [Code Tampering]!
The world suddenly fell silent. In this instant, everything seemed to freeze like a wax figure.
Countless dark green codes scrolled rapidly before his eyes, flipping up page by page at an extremely fast speed, even creating afterimages.
One second!
Gu Ya only had one second!
Faster, even faster!
Write faulty code: targeting the dark blue as the most important enemy.
Lock the code, add a key, only Gu Ya can unlock it!
A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant's nest.
The vast blue "ocean" on the battlefield was like countless ants.
One second might be very short, but for Gu Ya, it was enough.
In one second, he could win against his opponent!
The Thorn Exterminator thrust its beam sword into the opponent's rear thruster. Before it could retract, its body suddenly trembled violently.
Zhao Zhan warily looked at the various data displays of the mech. Everything was normal. So where was this strong tremor coming from?
Could it be the opponent? Had it activated its self-destruct program?
"Not good!" Zhao Zhan forcefully pushed the Unyielding Resister away and shouted, "Mutual destruction? Don't even think about it!"
Then he kicked the opponent away.
Watching the Unyielding Resister fall in a parabolic trajectory, Zhao Zhan let out a long sigh and said, "It's over. Goodbye, ridiculous and ignorant Jude!"
Zhao Zhan gripped the joystick again, preparing to land, but a strange thing happened.
No matter how he operated, he couldn't control the mech.
Suddenly, the Thorn Exterminator's system prompt came through: "Detected first strike target enemy machines in the vicinity, quantity: infinite!"
Zhao Zhan's eyes widened. Looking at the "∞" symbol on the display screen, his mind went blank.
Before Zhao Zhan could react, the Thorn Exterminator shot directly into the blue "ocean" at explosive speed.
"What's going on! I'm not operating it! What's going on!" Zhao Zhan shouted, quickly checking the mech.
Everything was normal! No malfunctions!
In Zhao Zhan's astonishment, the Thorn Exterminator plunged into the "ocean."
Afterward, a strong plume of smoke and dust rose on the battlefield.
As the dust dissipated, the "ocean" and "islands" vanished.
Only the wreckage of two mechs remained.
"What happened!!!" the announcer shouted with all his might.
"Fellow viewers! Rub your eyes and see! In less than half a minute, both sides have fallen almost simultaneously!"
"Who is the final victor!!!"
Just then, Gu Ya stood up from the wreckage of the Thorn Exterminator, his jacket wrapped around his head.
The announcer looked closely: "It's the unarmored Jude!!!"
"Wait! Zhao Zhan! Zhao Zhan has come out of the cockpit!"
Gu Ya looked down. Zhao Zhan pushed away the mech wreckage and crawled out weakly.
When Zhao Zhan saw Gu Ya, his face flushed with anger. He rushed towards Gu Ya, shouting, "Kid! What did you do!"
Gu Ya calmly took out a Cobra automatic pistol from his waist and aimed it at Zhao Zhan.
Zhao Zhan was startled, his expression furious, his eyes full of defiance.
But his body was honest.
He raised his hands in surrender.
"My god, my god! The unarmored Jude! With the most despicable yet correct methods, he has once again achieved victory!!!"
"Fellow viewers, this is Jude's fourth time dominating the arena!"
Gu Ya took a deep breath. He didn't feel much joy; instead, he was more worried.
In the distance, the Unyielding Resister had already fallen into a pile of scrap metal.
He no longer had a mech to use!
He would enter the finals on foot,
facing the strongest steel mech directly.
...
In the audience seats, in a far-off area.
Gu Youyou looked at her brother on the field, tears filling her eyes.
The woman beside her remained silent.
At this moment, a man in a suit walked up from behind and leaned in to whisper, "Madam, the third detection results are out, still 99.99%."
A trace of a smile finally appeared on Ling Ling's icy face.
She turned to Gu Youyou and asked, "Little one, do you want your brother to come back safely?"
Gu Youyou turned to look at Ling Ling and nodded quickly.
Ling Ling gave Gu Youyou a kind and benevolent smile.
