Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 776 First Confrontation

Chapter 776 First Confrontation
"Lidrad!!"

Shura stared at the blood splattering out of the cockpit with his eyes wide open and let out a shrill roar.

"monster!!!"

Roaring, he pointed the gun at Salamantini without hesitation.

However, the whistling sound of bullets tearing through the air forced him to lower his head and avoid the sudden shooting.

It was He Ming who stopped him from attacking Salamantini.

When He Ming saw Shura hiding in the bunker, he immediately turned his gun and aimed it at the enemies in other directions, continuously firing three shots in a row to provide cover for Salamantini. At the same time, he also provided cover for Chen Jinren, Nicole, Lacus Klein and others behind him to break through the defense line.

Under the cover of He Ming and several members of the Dark Arrow team, they quickly reached the last line of defense where Shura was.

"Captain Shura! The defense line is about to be lost!"

Shura's men shouted sharply.

Shura naturally knew this.

It was something Shura had never expected that the person he had high hopes for, Lidrade, would be dealt with by Salamantini in such a ridiculous way.

I thought I could stop the enemy with the heavy firepower equipped by Ragna-mail, but I didn't expect that the enemy would paralyze Ragna-mail and take away Lidrad's life with just one man and one sword.

"Retreat!! Cover each other, retreat!"

Shura was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

On one hand, there is the unknown and extremely powerful Salamantini, and on the other hand, the dark arrow troops led by He Ming and Chen Jinren are obviously well-trained special forces.

With the cooperation of two, it is impossible to compete with the current forces of Shura alone.

"Oh!"

The moment several smoke bombs fell one after another, the figures of Shura and others quickly disappeared in the smoke, leaving behind the aisle filled with thick smoke.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jinren immediately raised his right fist to signal caution.

"Colonel. Continue the pursuit?"

"Wait a mininute."

He Ming shook his head slightly and looked at the intelligent AI cube on his shoulder.

Although the corridor is flooded with smoke, the cameras inside are still under the control of the smart AI cube Arduino.

The projection screen kept switching, and finally stopped at the scene where Shura and his men were reporting to Aoife and others with serious expressions, with fear on their faces.

Suddenly, Aofei, who was listening to Shura's report, raised his head and looked at the surveillance camera on the wall.

"Lord Aoife?"

Shura was startled and reacted immediately.

"Quick! Take down the surveillance camera!"

"No, no need!"

Aoife raised his hand to stop Shura.

"Yes, but..."

Shura didn't quite understand what Aoi was thinking.

"Can you hear me? Guests who have come here."

Aoife flipped his right hand and displayed the explosive device in his palm to the camera.

“While this is not what I want, I hope we don’t have to get to this point.”

Behind the projection screen, everyone looked at each other and finally set their sights on He Ming.

He Ming pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Let's go! Let's go meet each other!"

On the other side, Salamantini called two members of the Dark Arrow team, instructed them to blow up the Ragna-mail, and then returned to the team with them.

Afterwards, as the loud explosion of Ragna-mail being completely destroyed by the time bomb echoed in the aisle, He Ming and others had already crossed the aisle and came in front of Ao Fei and others, confronting them.

"Nice to meet you! A guest who has come from afar. I am the person in charge here, Aofei Ram Tao."

Aoife's eyes swept across everyone, finally stopping on Lacus Klein for a few seconds before moving away again.

Although they met, He Ming and others still put on their masks to cover their faces before that.

But even so, He Ming could still feel Aoi's gaze lingering on Lacus Klein.

"We are here for the congressmen. I hope you will stop resisting in vain, which will prevent more casualties." "Who are you?!"

Ingrid, who was standing behind Aoife, couldn't help but scold.

The sad news of her sister Lidrad's murder made Ingrid lose her usual calmness.

"Ingrid, calm down!"

Aoife raised his hand and stood in front of Ingrid.

He knew that if he angered these people again, it would probably be their death.

"We are only here to rescue the councillors. Once again, please do not resist too much or in vain."

He Ming reiterated it once again, and everyone also saw that behind Ao Fei and others - the congressmen imprisoned in that room seemed to have noticed the movement here and looked over here cautiously.

Among them was Nicol's father, Yuri Amalfi.

In the crowd, Nicol recognized his father at a glance and his eyes lit up, but the next second he suppressed the urge to recognize his father.

He knew that leaving the negotiations to He Ming was the best option at the moment.

"Members of the Parliament, we can give it back to you. In return, you must let us leave here!"

Aoife clenched the detonator in his hand.

"This is a destructive device buried underground in the institute. It can completely destroy the institute in an instant. Of course, this destructive device is independent of the institute's network and cannot be destroyed by network intervention."

Aoife paused and continued.

"I think the hacker standing behind you should understand this."

"Master. The situation has been confirmed. Intrusion control cannot be performed through the network."

Arduino also confirmed this.

He Ming nodded.

"Let us take the councillors away, and you can live."

"How can I trust you!"

Aoife asked back calmly.

"I can't guarantee it! You can only trust me."

As soon as He Ming finished speaking, Salamantini took a step forward. The moment the sword in her hand trembled in space, Shura's face suddenly turned pale.

He had just seen clearly that even Ragna-mail's armor could be easily penetrated by the sword in Salamantini's hand.

Of course, Aofei noticed Shura's abnormality.

He was silent for a moment, then finally asked.

"I have one more question."

"explain."

Aoife set his sights on Lacus Klein.

"You are Lacus Clyne."

Not a question, but an affirmative.

Lacus Klein looked at He Ming, and He Ming responded.

"That's not a problem. Lux Clay isn't here at the moment."

"No. That's not the real Lacus Clyne. I can feel it!"

Surprisingly, Ao Fei's words were so decisive that He Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.
