Chapter 20

  The end of the mecha

  That black mecha drove away in the high-speed from the underground parking lot of the gymnasium, all the way chased after that black car, got on the icy highway. The controlling this mecha that pilot, always kept the absolute calm and the strong determination to finish the task, but his mentality had already had some subtle changes.

  The pilot in the mecha named Randy, he’s the model of the federal military, the most excellent elite, and the winner of the four pieces of Purple Star Medal.

  The under his control mecha didn’t have any additional action, every move is so clear and explicit but the lethality is dye-in-the-wood. Ten years ago, he had controlled the mecha personally, in the federal troops great counterattack of the space jump, on that controlled by the Empire planet, he entered the grassland and smashed fourteen Empire mechas.

  The first appearance of the black mecha controlled by him, just like a demon broke open that heavy cement wall, abruptly appeared in the concrete fragments and the dust, just in one second time, he cleared away all the Tai family security personnel besides the black car area!

  This black mecha perfectly controlled its sector shooting angle, as far as possible, let every point of impact had the maximum damage. With his ability, hid behind the cement wall, attacked a federal citizen with a mecha, this shouldn’t give any chance to the other party to escape.

  But there were two accidents in the process of the assassination, these two accidents all couldn’t be controlled by him, they were not even his responsibilities.

  The first accident was that black car.

  In the black mecha federal major Randy, never imagined that there would be such a strong car in the Federation. Although he knew it clearly who the target he was attacking was, what kind of strength the family behind that young man was, but… after all, that’s a black car, not a mecha!

  How could it possible after he shot a full chained magazine, that kind of horrible fire, unexpectedly also just left those ugly metal deep holes on this car body, but not hit through it!

  Just because of the extremely horrible defense ability of this black car, let in the car steward Ken could survive, and even gave the quick reaction Sheilor and Charlie Tai two people the chance to survival.

  For Randy, the second accident he executed the task today was that wearing the West Forest military uniform young man.

  This first-class pilot, didn’t know since when, there was a West Forest suddenly soldier by the side of the target. But he didn’t care about that non-target at first… until the other party treaded his that foot on the mechanical leg of his mecha bravely but crazily.

  The situation at that time was very much like what a proverb in the Federation: on the highway, a poor insect is raising up its arms, mounting the high horse, and trying to stop a in the high-speed vehicle.

  But this seemingly crazy and stupid action, interfered the launch of the black mecha main gun successfully!

  Randy didn’t understand the always been very steady under his control mecha, why it would have the slight shiver at that moment. Not matter the automatic balancing apparatus, or his manual operation, all couldn’t have the final calibration, thus let the first shot of the main gun incredibly deviated from the target.

  This is in his twenty years of military career, the strange thing he never experienced. The foot of that young West Forest soldier, that needs how powerful strength, then it could shake up the several tons heavy mecha body? And how could the power of that foot interfere the mecha internal control system?

  Even he was driving with high-speed on the snow and ice highway at this time, Randy still felt that inside of the always like his body mecha, seemed to still had an indistinct band interference existed, that let his manipulation had been not very smooth. Thus he followed behind that black car all the way, but couldn’t get closer quickly.

  Most of the Federal citizens are the materialists, especially the people living on these three administrative planets of the Capital Planet Circle. Soldier Randy felt that his mecha had some small problems, but how could he think of, it’s earlier means of that young West Forest soldier still in effect. He just judged subconsciously, that Tai family black car was using some kind of interference equipment in front.

  The pursuit started from the underground parking lot, it had already passed a long time. But the black mecha that seemingly swift and fierce pursuit, always couldn’t reach the effective attack range. The power of the mecha was still very full, but the ammunition it carried was not that much, Randy had to cherish every launch and didn’t want to waste it. Although his that showed outside of the black helmet face still was cold, but the very bad inference had already risen up in his mind.

  The confidence of this federal elite soldier had already faded gradually, he had a bit of dismay and a bit of light despair. Although this pursuit happened on the few people tread highway, but after all it was still in the most core area of the Federation. The reaction of the government power department would arrive soon, it looked like that his task would only ended in failure today.

  Just right at this time, there was thunder sounded in the distant horizon.

  Randy stared at those seven light spots appeared on the light screen in front of him, confirmed that those were the federal jet fighter, and confirmed that these seven advanced jet fighters, with the low altitude through way, escaped the mecha that cover twenty miles circumference monitoring radar equipment… the warning sounded up in the mecha, reminded him that the fighters had already locked his mecha, and could attack at any time.

  It’s the most equipped F-type jet fighter of the Federation, it could hang nine air-to-ground missiles at most. Seven jet fighters, that means sixty-three missiles. Just in a moment, this data emerged in Randy’s mind. However, he calmed down at this time instead. Even he failed today, it’s also not the responsibility of his fighting ability, but those weird accidents and destiny disturbed his work.

  Soldier Randy that firm and persistent facial lines became stern like a knife at this moment, countless action instructions were input on the touch screen, and the always kept march forward mode mecha, also began to change the mode in the great current noise, the caterpillar bands under it broke away, the mechanical legs stretched out once again, it scratched deep wounds on the concrete surface…

  In the whoosh sounds, more than ten gray lines shot in high-speed from the horizon, it’s the federal jet fighter standard equipped “Oxtail” air-to-ground missile. These missiles scratched the side of front that black car, and shot at the back that matching forward with a strange posture black mecha.

  Right at the same time, the mechanical legs of the black mecha pedaled on the ground abruptly, the whole mecha suddenly bended forward in the high-speed state, it seemed like that it’s going to throw itself to the ground. However, the mecha body relied on the inertia, turned and maneuvered in the air, made a wonderful action similar to the fighter leaning wings, in the dense guided missile group shooting, found that only passage, glided forward, and escaped all the missiles incredibly!

  Those horrific missiles, scratched over the black mecha that huge body, hit the pavement of the highway and exploded, didn’t know how much snow and ice and cement road surface were lifted up, the smoke was blowing suddenly.

  However, a missile was shot between the black car and the mecha, although the mecha saved its life successfully in the extremely dangerous moment, but it still couldn’t avoid that missile exploded on the concrete road surface in front of it…

  That missile exploded twenty meters in front of the mecha directly.

  The black mecha in this last moment, still demonstrated its formidably fighting capacity, the output power surpassed the peak number momentarily, took the mecha out of control risk, Randy controlled the mecha to make a stunning jump action on the ground, avoided the shock wave caused by the missile, and flight to the air directly.

  But the terrifying thing was, after that missile exploded, the rose faster th
an the dust, in a series of strange sharp whistles, countless reflecting the snow light linear materials suddenly shot out by the guided missile body!

  The black mecha avoided the frontal shock wave and shrapnel, but in the air, it couldn’t have any way to avoid those in fine threads and like catkins flying everywhere reflecting the light linear materials.

  Zee Zee Zee Zee, those fine threads like having the magnetic force, stuck on the black mecha that smooth and fastening surface quickly, that’s a kind of dark color and similar to the graphite beam things.

  “Electromagnetic bomb…” in the mecha Randy had a chill in his heart, then he gave up all the hopes. The federal rescue department, incredibly in such a short time, let the jet fighter hang the special to be used against the mecha electromagnetic bomb, he couldn’t have any hope to escape.

  In the Zee Zee current sound, those sticking on the black mecha surface dark metal threads, began to shine out the blue arc light violently. At this time, the mecha still was gliding in the air intrepidly in the effect of the inertia. It suddenly was covered by the blue electric arc light, that seemed incomparably strange.

  The blue electric arc light disappeared momentarily, but the mecha seemed to have already lost all its power, the movement suddenly had a stiff in the air, just like a broken line puppet, fell down onto the ground heavily, and then rolled forward stiffly, on the concrete road surface, struck out a big hole, and grinded out a straight trail. After launched the missiles, the jet fighters finally flied come over, several stuffy sounds went off almost at the same time, the bullets shot from the air-to-ground gun, ploughed several deep grooves on the ground surface, the cement fragments splashed everywhere, the smoke and dust all the way pointed at that had already lost control ability mecha directly.

  Countless stuffy sounds went off on the surface of the black mecha at the same time, the strong mecha alloy armor, in the powerful shooting of the air-to-ground gun, began to deform, began to be cut through, began to be damaged, and began to become the existence like the garbage…

  No siren sounded, the special squad of the federal First Military Region, silently and vigilantly came close to that on the middle of the highway black mecha, behind them, the fire reserve had fully opened armored vehicles had already been ready.

  The control system of this black mecha was destroyed by the electromagnetic bomb of the jet fighter, and was shot intensively one round by the air-to-ground gun brutally, the whole mecha body had already became very poor, warped on the pavement very mournfully, and seemed that it’s impossible to have the fighting ability any more. But in the eyes of the federal soldiers, the mecha is the most powerful, but also is the most unpredictable combat machine, they didn’t know whether would have the accident or not.

  The cabin door of the black mecha opened slowly, on the road surface below the mecha, those soldiers raised the guns in their hands, the metal clash sound of the on the back fire components went off in succession.

  Took off the helmet, Randy wiped off the shocked out blood from the corners of his mouth, he took a look at those approached close to mecha soldiers chillily, heard those somewhat fuzzy commanding him to abandon the mecha and surrender voices, and he shook his head slowly.

  At that earlier moment when he faced those seven jet fighter, actually he had the confidence that he could at least shoot down one took the risk flying in low altitude jet fighter. Even if at this time the automatic control system of the mecha had already been destroyed, he still believed that he could control the mecha, let those soldiers below pay a steep price.

  But since the task had failed, he was unwilling to lay a hand on those soldiers. As the comrade-in-arms, they should fight together on the battlefield, they shouldn’t be the both sides of the hostile.

  Soldier Randy took a look at that turning in distance black car, narrowed his eyes slightly, patted gently on the slightly hot metal mecha body under his body, took out his pistol, aimed at his own temple, and pulled the trigger silently.
