52: Chapter 52 Messing Around

52 -52 Messing Around

At that moment, Su Ming and two others were also shouting at other logistics students.

“Classmate, help load the bullets.”

Unfortunately, by this point, more than a hundred Mecha students had rushed in.

But there were fewer than five logistics students present; the rest were nowhere to be seen, perhaps daydreaming somewhere else.

At that moment, the spaceship shook violently again, and a synthetic mechanical voice sounded from the broadcast.

“Warning: The external armor of Zone L22 is under attack!”

…

Chen Tong couldn’t help but curse.

“Are those commander guys eating shit?

How did the ship get hit again?”

“Maybe the enemy’s firepower is too fierce.”

Su Ming tried to think positively.

…

At this time, in the ship’s control room, more than a hundred students from the commander class swarmed in.

The control room was spacious, with n-shaped consoles setup, all screens lit up, yet none operated.

In the middle of the n-shaped consoles was a commander’s station, topped with a commander’s chair.

The students who rushed in were briefly stunned by the numerous consoles and then all their gazes converged on the commander’s chair at the commander’s station.

Without prearrangement, they rushed over, with some students even throwing themselves onto the chair upon nearing it.

“This is mine.”

“Mine!”

“Get lost, I’ll be the chief commander!”

“Why should it be you?

Why don’t you handle the operations?”

“Why don’t you do it then?”

“TMD, those consoles are so complicated and tiring to operate; command is just about moving your lips and it scores higher, why the hell?”

…

“Go to hell!”

Some of the more hot-tempered students started throwing punches.

The entire command room quickly turned into a chaotic mess, with everyone frantically fighting for command.

Meanwhile, the virtual main screen kept flashing emergency warnings, sadly ignored by all.

Hence unsurprisingly, the whole spaceship took a harsh hit from a missile, violently shaking.

They were startled, and some guilty-feeling students, somewhat frightened, stopped trying to seize control.

“The ship is sinking fast, you guys keep fighting, I’m going to operate, anyway I won’t be taking orders from you.”

“Right, I’ll operate mine.”

…

Some students ceased their struggle and went to the consoles, awkwardly beginning to operate.

…

Inside the hangar.

One by one, the logistics students, sitting at the maintenance supply consoles, awkwardly loaded ammunition for the Mechas.

Among them, a timid girl was loading ammunition for Li Fubai.

Seeing her bring over 20MM caliber Armor-piercing bullets, Li Fubai couldn’t hold back his anger.

“I asked for 25MM Blast Bombs!

25MM, not 20MM!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry….”

The girl immediately apologized, tears welling in her eyes.

“Cut it out, if you’re so capable, why not do it yourself?

Why give the girl a hard time?”

Chen Tong coldly mocked, partly because he disliked Li Fubai’s attitude and partly because no one was loading his ammunition and yet this guy was being picky.

“Chen Tong, shut your mouth.”

Li Fubai responded unapologetically.

“It’s all my fault, Brother Fubai, don’t be mad, I’ll change it right away.”

The girl quickly replied.

Chen Tong was speechless; other logistics personnel were acting arrogantly while this girl was being a lickspittle, she just had to go and brownnose him.

What’s so good about this pretty boy anyway?

The broadcast suddenly sounded.

“Dear students, I am Captain Monxi, and I will lead you all to victory, so listen to me…”

“Get lost, I’m the main commander, don’t listen to his nonsense, listen to me, I’ll lead you to victory.”

“Out of the way!”

“You out of the way!”

…

At that moment, everyone in the hangar was speechless, muttering under their breath.

“What a bunch of idiots.”

…

Click!

Suddenly, a piercing sound resonated.

Su Ming, controlling the Iron Head Mecha with full power, struggled fiercely and forcibly removed the fixture.

Boom~

The broken fixture heavily crashed to the ground.

“Su Ming, what are you doing?

Don’t mess around.”

Zhao Ran was startled by Su Ming’s actions.

“Handle it ourselves, don’t expect anything from them.”

Su Ming controlled the mecha, dashing towards the southeast corner to Weapon Rack 1 at high speed.

Witnessing Su Ming’s fluid maneuvers, Zhao Ran exclaimed in disbelief.

“Su Ming, how come your operation is so smooth?”

“I don’t know!”

Chen Tong, emboldened, also forcefully broke free from the fixture and then staggeringly walked towards the weapon rack.

“Wait for me.”

Zhao Ran, upon seeing this, also had no choice but to forcefully break free from his fixture.

Lin Chuxue, Li Fubai, and others seeing this, simply forced their way out of their fixtures too, relying on the logistics students for resupply was just too slow.

They couldn’t even operate the supply machines properly, and communication was also very laborious.

By the time Su Ming reached Weapon Rack 1, he quickly scanned the weapons; they were all standard XS-01 type heavy Blast Machine Guns.

These were unmodified models, capable of continuous shooting once the safety was deactivated.

Su Ming didn’t take these weapons; he keenly spotted a DS-01 type electromagnetic mechanical gun at the back of the rack.

It could fire high-powered Electromagnetic Light Bullets, causing mechanical targets to short-circuit and paralyze.

Without hesitation, he picked it up and equipped it.

Then he took an XS-01 type heavy Blast Machine Gun and hung it on the spare weapon module at his waist.

After doing all this, Su Ming rushed to the ammunition rack.

Besides ammunition, he discovered blast bombs and large smoke grenades on the rack.

Su Ming quickly picked up the blast bombs and smoke grenades, equipping them on the mecha, and then filled up with regular ammunition.

Just as Su Ming was about finished, Chen Tong and Zhao Ran leisurely walked over.

Seeing Su Ming armed with two guns, one of which was an electromagnetic mechanical gun, they couldn’t help but remark.

“Su Ming, isn’t this a bit too much?

You’re armed to the teeth, even taking the electromagnetic mechanical gun.”

“It’s fine, hurry up and arm yourselves!”

After briefly instructing Chen Tong and the others, Su Ming immediately controlled the mecha to turn around and leave.

“Su Ming, where are you going?”

Zhao Ran looked puzzledly at Su Ming.

“I’m going to prepare something, don’t worry about it, hurry up and arm yourselves and then come find me.”

Su Ming didn’t explain much to Zhao Ran and the others.

He controlled the mecha to run around the hangar, carefully observing the walls along the way.

Before long, Su Ming found the enclosed exit of the hangar, his gaze immediately fell on the control device to the right side of the entry point.

He walked up, carefully examining the control device.

At this moment, a notification popped up on his screen.

“The exit control device is currently locked; it needs to be manually unlocked by personnel in the command room.”

Su Ming glanced at it, then started inspecting the surrounding metal walls.

At this time, Lin Chuyu’s mecha approached Su Ming, and she asked with some confusion.

“Su Ming, what are you looking for?”
