A mecha descended from the sky, its body blocking the micro-missiles.
The missiles gouged a shallow pit in the mecha's body, emitting a thin stream of smoke.
"Who?" Gu Ya shouted in surprise, looking at the mecha that had just saved him.
"It's me!"
A resolute male voice came from the mecha's loudspeaker.
"Liu Feng!" Gu Ya exclaimed in surprise.
"I heard on the news that enemy forces had arrived at the air-raid shelter in Wastewater Treatment Area 12. I was worried about you and Youyou, so I piloted the academy mecha over," Liu Feng said.
Gu Ya's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
But the enemy consisted of three fully armed mechs, while Liu Feng was only piloting an academy mecha, unarmed.
Gu Ya used his exoskeleton armor's propulsion to slowly land on Liu Feng's mecha's shoulder.
Through the telephoto lens within his exoskeleton armor, Gu Ya saw Youyou struggling to get up, glancing at Gu Ya, furiously wiping away her tears, and turning to flee in haste.
The three enemies had given up on Youyou, and she should be safe now.
Next, it was time to consider how to take down Xu Jie!
...
On Ye Ying's battlefield, as more friendly reinforcements arrived, the enemy gradually lost their ability to resist and fled towards Hong Lian Zhi Wu's battlefield.
The hundred-plus mechs of the guard team pursued the victory, continuously shooting down the routed enemy forces.
Inside the cockpit of the "Enemy Slayer," bright red lights illuminated the pilot's face.
It was an extremely beautiful face, with short red hair exuding sharp combat intent.
Hong Lian Zhi Wu sat upright in the pilot's seat. Seeing more and more of her subordinates fleeing back, she felt a sudden displeasure.
She took out her communicator and said, "Little boy, have you found Gu Ya?"
After a long pause, Xu Jie replied, "Found him, bringing him back immediately."
"You'd better hurry. Our mission is only to bring back Gu Ya; we cannot engage in prolonged combat," Hong Lian Zhi Wu said coldly.
Xu Jie did not respond further.
On Xu Jie's side, facing the unarmed Gu Ya and Liu Feng, he sneered, "I never expected we'd meet again in this way after half a month! Have you passed the mecha pilot assessment?"
Gu Ya mocked loudly, "Even Hei Ye passed the assessment, Xu Jie. You're as weak as a rat."
Xu Jie snorted and said, "You're still defiant on the brink of death."
Gu Ya continued, "Xu Jie, you've betrayed the Black Star Wanderers and committed treason! Most importantly, you actually hurt my sister. No matter who pleads for you, I will not spare you."
Xu Jie let out two "haha" laughs and said, "Gu Ya! Are you stalling for time, waiting for rescue? Too naive!"
After speaking, Xu Jie unleashed full power and charged forward, followed by the two enemy mechs behind him!
Facing three fully armed mechas, Liu Feng showed no signs of retreat. He piloted his mecha upwards into the sky and simultaneously opened the cockpit to allow Gu Ya to enter.
Liu Feng quickly moved from the pilot's seat and stood in the cramped space behind it.
Gu Ya rapidly entered the operating state, his fingers flying across the control panel buttons, bringing up one action program after another.
This mecha was only for teaching, and the action programs were too few to be sufficient for combat.
At this moment, Xu Jie had already led the enemy mechs to attack.
Gu Ya activated three mecha pilot skills simultaneously, his hand movements becoming even more rapid.
Even Liu Feng was stunned.
Gu Ya could complete a series of operations such as writing action programs, debugging, checking, and confirming within one second, which he found incredible.
This is the gap! Liu Feng thought blankly.
Just as Xu Jie thought he could destroy Gu Ya, Gu Ya's mecha inexplicably shut down all its engines and instantly vanished into the vast night.
When Xu Jie spotted Gu Ya again, he was actually behind him!
Gu Ya burst forward, grabbed an enemy mecha, seized its light rifle, and unleashed a burst of bullets into the enemy mecha's back.
One enemy mecha exploded and crashed in Gu Ya's surprise attack.
As Xu Jie turned his mecha around to meet Gu Ya's attack.
Gu Ya repeated his tactic, disappearing into the night once more.
Xu Jie could no longer tolerate it and roared, "Gu Ya! You cockroach! I will crush you!"
Suddenly, Gu Ya's mecha reignited its engines, charging straight towards another enemy mecha and aiming another burst of bullets at its head.
In a mere few seconds, two fully armed mechas were destroyed by the unarmed Gu Ya.
At this moment, two other mechas flew in from the sky.
"More reinforcements!" Liu Feng exclaimed in panic.
Gu Ya smiled slightly and said, "No matter how many come, I'll kill them all!"
With that, Gu Ya accelerated his mecha and charged towards the enemy mechs, suddenly shutting off his engines mid-flight, and blending into the night.
Using inertia, Gu Ya rushed below the enemy mechs, suddenly activated his engines, and shot straight up towards them.
Xu Jie, now familiar with Gu Ya's tactics, accelerated and charged up.
Gu Ya was unhurried, directly pouncing behind an enemy mecha, pulling out its light rifle from its waist, and unleashing a barrage of bullets at another enemy mecha.
The two newly arrived enemy mechas were clearly unaware of Gu Ya's tactics and were unable to dodge at all for a moment.
In one burst of fire, the third enemy mecha was shot down by Gu Ya.
Liu Feng slammed his fist onto the cockpit, exclaiming with joy, "Gu Ya, you're amazing!"
The enemy mecha held by Gu Ya suddenly shuddered and, with all its might, broke free from Gu Ya's grip and flew towards the sky.
Xu Jie had arrived and plunged his blade directly towards Gu Ya's mecha.
At the critical moment, Gu Ya blocked with both arms, but Xu Jie's strength was immense, piercing through both of Gu Ya's mecha's arms.
Simultaneously, Xu Jie sharply rotated his blade, and Gu Ya's arms, like withered bamboo poles, were split apart.
"Game over, Gu Ya!" Xu Jie laughed sinisterly.
...
Youyou had not fled far; she had already notified Wang Panpan.
Wang Panpan, piloting the Alligator mecha, flew over at high speed.
As he approached, he saw two enemy mechs stepping on an academy mecha.
The one being stepped on was Gu Ya. With both arms missing, Gu Ya was unable to perform any attacks.
Xu Jie dragged him back to the ground, stepped on him, and pointed his gun at the cockpit armor.
Wang Panpan let out a loud roar, pulled out his shotgun, and unleashed a barrage of shots at Xu Jie. Xu Jie's teammate lunged sideways to block the spray of bullets and immediately flew forward.
Facing enemy mechs stronger than himself, Wang Panpan panicked and prepared to fire another shot, but the opponent rushed forward recklessly, directly snatching Wang Panpan's shotgun.
Xu Jie laughed triumphantly, saying, "Gu Ya, you even drag your friends to their deaths. You are truly loyal and righteous!"
Gu Ya let out a light scoff and said, "Xu Jie, you're celebrating too early."
With that, Gu Ya controlled his mecha and rammed forward with its head, causing Xu Jie's mecha to lose balance and tilt backward.
Simultaneously, Gu Ya piloted his mecha to fly low to the ground, heading towards another enemy mecha, its head colliding heavily with the enemy mecha.
At this moment, Gu Ya did something that greatly shocked Liu Feng.
He actually opened the cockpit!
With the aid of his exoskeleton armor, Gu Ya flew out of the cockpit and directly pounced onto the Alligator.
Wang Panpan immediately understood and opened the cockpit for Gu Ya to enter.
A few seconds later, Gu Ya stood up, piloting the Alligator.
Concurrently, several streaks of blue flame appeared in the sky.
It was reinforcements from the Wuxi City Mecha Guard!
The five reinforcements swiftly dove towards Xu Jie and the other enemy mecha.
Their movements were clean and efficient, eliminating that enemy mecha in just a few seconds.
Xu Jie, seeing the unfavorable situation, accelerated his power and flew towards the sky.
Gu Ya, filled with rage, shouted, "Where do you think you're going!"
Following that, he unleashed his engines and pursued along with the Wuxi City Guard mechs.
