Su Ming walked to the center and crouched down, picking up a document from the ground and quickly flipping through it.

“Can you really make out the content when you skim through it so fast?”

Chen Tong asked in surprise.

Without answering Chen Tong’s question, Su Ming grew more excited as he flipped through the pages, and when he reached the last one listing the cargo, he joyfully exclaimed,

“Beautiful, just as I suspected, there’s an Advanced Mecha here—and it’s a Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight!”

“Really?”

Chen Tong asked in disbelief.

“Follow me, that Gun Knight is in the B3 storage area.”

Su Ming immediately led Chen Tong away.

On the way, Chen Tong was extremely puzzled and asked,

“Su Ming, how did you know there was Advanced Mecha here?”

“It was a deduction!” freēwēbηovel.c૦m

“A deduction?

What kind of deduction?”

“When I was searching in that work cabin earlier, I inadvertently saw some scattered declaration documents on the ground with the header ‘Lovosk Interstellar Heavy Industry.’ Lovosk Interstellar Heavy Industry is an old weapon manufacturer on Earth Flame Star, part of the old Federation.

They mainly produce ships and mechas, so the goods they ship are generally of high quality.”

“So I hurried over here to check, and as it turns out, my guess was right.

Not only are there five Second Generation Mechas·Flame Riders in the B3 storage area, there’s also a Third Generation Mecha!

And coincidentally, this shipment was ordered by the Third Planet·Thirteenth District.

Since they received the goods not long ago, they didn’t have time to transit before everything was destroyed.

This is a well-known incident in the Thirteenth District; they are still squabbling over it to this day.”

Su Ming simply explained to Chen Tong.

“Incredible, you notice such details.

If it were me, I’d probably be too lazy to even look at the documents scattered on the ground.”

Chen Tong said admiringly.

“Not bad, let’s hurry over.”

Su Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly.

“No problem, once we get our hands on the mecha, we’ll definitely teach Li Fubai and his gang a lesson!”

Chen Tong said with great excitement, finally seeing a chance to vent his anger.

…

Third Planet·Thirteenth District Interstellar Military Airport.

Inside the command center of the Fish Pig.

General Ames sat in the command chair, looking at the screen filled with block images, a hint of indignation showing on his face.

At that moment, Xia An let out a light sigh and softly said to Ames,

“General, isn’t the difficulty of this examination too high?

Almost all the candidates have perished, with only a few having escaped into the underground area of the airport and some scattered around the city of Manhavi.

Relying on them alone, it’s impossible to turn the situation around and successfully defend the airport.

We might as well declare the exercise a failure.”

“Is the failure due to their incompetence or the problem with the exam itself?

So many people, so many weapons—if they had united even a little, or their skills were a bit higher, how could they possibly fail to penetrate the missile net at Manhavi Interstellar Airport?”

General Ames slammed the armrest and replied angrily.

The personnel around him, seeing General Ames’s fury, all became as silent as cicadas in winter, none daring to open their mouths and touch on his sore spot.

However, that said, the battle indeed was a terrible sight to behold.

First and foremost, the students from the command stream were practically blind in their commands; not a single ship managed to break through the fire net to get close to the interstellar airport to provide fire cover.

As for the combatants, there was no need to mention them; they were each fighting their own battles like loose sand.

Especially those stubborn fools, who like dumplings, dropped straight into the interstellar military airport without any fire coverage.

It was hard to decide whether to praise them for their bravery or shake your head at their foolhardiness.

Xia An silently sighed to herself; seeing General Ames so furious, she did not continue to try to reason with him.

…

Meanwhile, at another location, Manhavi Interstellar Military Airport·Large Underground Exit.

Li Fubai, operating the Flame Rider, coldly said to the few remaining marine students,

“Go out, scout the situation outside!”

“Li bro, we’re going out ourselves?

Isn’t that too dangerous?”

The students all wore expressions of difficulty, as if asking them to scout was sending them to their deaths as cannon fodder.

“Go!”

Li Fubai didn’t give them a choice.

“If Li Fubai tells you to go, just go.

What’s with all the nonsense?

If you keep dawdling like this, we’ll kick you out of the team.

Then you won’t get any scores for cooperative combat.”

Wu Bo threatened them fiercely.

These students had no choice but to carefully make their way out, trembling with fear.

They crept carefully to the edge of the exterior exit and peaked out, exposing half their heads to the outside.

At that moment, the outside ground was empty, with no enemy in sight.

The marine students mustered their courage and ventured out.

They searched cautiously, and as they passed by a surface warehouse, they immediately spotted the Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight standing alone in the distant open space.

“Get down!”

The marine students hurriedly lay down, fearing discovery.

They steadied themselves and looked around.

They saw that around the Gun Knight it was completely empty, with no enemies visible.

So they ran back joyfully, quickly reaching Li Fubai and the others.

“Li Fubai, we’ve completed the scouting.”

“That was fast.

You didn’t skip the scouting, did you?”

Li Fubai frowned slightly as he looked at the marine students.

“Rest assured, Li Fubai, we’ve checked everything.

The Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight is at the 3 o’clock direction from the exit, and there are no enemies around.”

“That’s right, we’ve checked all around.”

…

The students reported back, competing to be the first.

Hearing this, Li Fubai felt his last bit of concern dissipate and he turned to everyone, saying,

“Chuyu, Sun Yue, the two of you come with me for a frontal assault, everyone else provides support!”

“No problem.”

Lin Chuyu and others responded seriously.

“The success or failure depends on this.

Let’s go!”

Li Fubai, controlling the Second Generation Mecha·Flame Rider, led the charge outside.

Lin Chuyu and others piloted their mechas and followed closely behind.

…

At the interstellar military airport surface, the Gun Knight stood quietly on the open ground.

Then suddenly, its eyes lit up, instantly detecting the movement coming from behind, and it turned around.

At that moment, Li Fubai and his team, controlling the Flame Rider, charged over.

They moved swiftly, spreading out to encircle the Gun Knight fully.

The Gun Knight, facing the encirclement by Li Fubai and his team, did not run but stood motionless.

Lin Chuyu saw this and felt something was amiss.

But, with no choice but to go forward, any hesitation would be betraying his teammates.

Soon, Li Fubai and his team completed the encirclement, and shouted excitedly,

“Wu Bo, attack!”

“Alright!”

Wu Bo and the others immediately opened the concealed cannon on the Flame Rider’s left arm and fired at the Gun Knight!

Li Fubai went at full throttle, swiftly attacking the Gun Knight head on.

Lin Chuyu and Sun Yue attacked from both sides.
