Chapter 316 Tom, you're back? (Long chapter, please add to your favorites and subscribe)

The beam of light from the motorcycle traced a rainbow's path along the curved ridge of the building.

A fierce gust of cold wind swept across the cheeks of Heo's helmet, and a series of bright red pop-up windows almost filled the screen in his field of vision.

That's a warning sign that the motorcycle wheels are slipping.

Rainy weather, a steel frame, and a smooth paint job often cause Wolf motorcycle tires, even with grip-enhanced grip, to slip.

Soon, He Ao will be able to reach the very top of this spine.

At that moment, his wheels slipped slightly, and the entire car veered to the left.

At that critical moment, he put his left foot on the ground and forcefully pushed the motorcycle upright.

A sharp pain shot through his feet; even a C-grade body couldn't completely withstand such a powerful impact.

At that very moment, the motorcycle swept past the very top of the sail-shaped building and plunged diagonally upwards into the 137-meter-high rain curtain.

Switch to performance mode

He Ao retracted his left foot.

"Performance mode activated."

Accompanied by a mechanical female voice, a surge of flames suddenly erupted from the rear of the motorcycle.

Two powerful miniature jet engines propelled Heo directly into the dark sky.

He Ao piloted the flying ground motorcycle, perfectly weaving between high-rise buildings, brushing past beautiful glass windows, and heading straight towards the five Seraphim-type mechs in the sky.

At the same time, the five mechs in the sky also spotted him.

He Ao smiled, opened the iron box hanging on the motorcycle, and took out a miniature laser cannon.

At such high speeds, aiming is a very difficult task.

He activated his super memory, and all the trajectories formed in his mind in an instant.

He pulled the trigger.

A flash of laser light ripped through the dark sky in an instant, striking the mech at the very front.

One of the mech's jet engines was destroyed, and after spitting out a few flames, it went out completely.

After a brief silence, the last of the five mechs broke away from the group, accelerated at full speed, and charged towards He Ao.

He Ao deactivated his super memory and adjusted the output frequency of the two jet engines to change direction, turning around and flying towards another floor.

The mech that broke away from the group charged forward suddenly, but almost crashed into the tall building in front of it.

The pilot of the Federation’s most advanced mech was being mocked by a motorcycle in the sky, and he seemed to feel insulted.

He angrily bypassed the building in front of him and chased after He Ao at full speed.

At that moment, a low energy warning popped up in He Ao's field of vision.

He shut down both jet engines, leaving a trail in the sky with powerful inertia, landing on the top of a nearby high-rise building, and then plunging straight out into the dark rain.

The Seraph mech followed closely behind.

Countless laser beams streaked across the sky, but He Ao dodged them all by intermittently activating performance mode.

Finally, a laser beam grazed past He Ao as it landed on the top of a slightly shorter building. He Ao swerved to avoid it, but this caused him to lose control of the motorcycle, and it veered off course.

One moment of loss of control, and I fell into the rain.

The Seraphic mech hovered above the building, glanced around, and flew in the direction He Ao had fallen.

He followed the trail to a dark alleyway.

At the alley entrance, a black, wrecked motorcycle lay on the ground, its wheels still spinning rapidly.

This alley was far too narrow for the enormous Seraph-type mech to squeeze through.

However, the alley was not deep enough to be covered by weapons.

Just as the mech pilot was about to use the laser cannon to plow through the entire alley, a deadly temptation suddenly came from inside the alley.

The mecha paused for a moment, then crouched down facing the alley. The cockpit canopy opened, and a man wearing a standard exoskeleton slowly stepped out of the cockpit.

Although this exoskeleton armor is not very powerful in combat, it is extremely fast. In a crisis, it can quickly send the pilot back to the mech. Correspondingly, in order to facilitate a quick return, the cockpit door of the mech will not be closed.

Normally, mech pilots are not allowed to leave their mechs, but the powerful allure draws them in, compelling them to venture into the alleyway to take a look.

The alley is lined with tall buildings on both sides. If he were to forcibly demolish it, he would bury the alley, so I could only come down to take a look.

Anyway, how powerful can someone who rides a motorcycle and relies on firearms to attack be?

Falling from such a height, one might have already died.

The driver activated the infrared detector and walked step by step into the depths of the alley.

Finally, he reached the very end of the alley and saw the thing that had attracted him.

A hundred-Federal dollar banknote lay on the ground, soaked with rainwater. He looked up and saw a figure with torn clothes and covered in blood. He immediately grabbed the money in one hand, raised his gun in the other, put his index finger on the trigger, and aimed at the figure.

But before he could finish his movement, a flash of silver light pierced his neck.

Bright red blood gushed out, staining the hundred-yuan bill on the ground.

He Ao supported the body with one hand, picked up the hundred-yuan bill with the other, shook it, and then put it in his pocket.

He had a few scratches on his body from moving too fast, but he was not seriously injured.

The motorcycle naturally fell directly from the high-rise building, but he used his short sword to pierce the wall, barely slowing down, and then jumped down in sections.

However, after jumping down, he didn't run away, but instead set a trap near the motorcycle.

He Ao, supporting the body of the mecha pilot, climbed into the cockpit of the Seraph-type mecha.

The lights inside the mech were still on, but access was locked.

Federation standard mechs typically lock access to their energy sources. Once the energy source is unavailable, the mech is essentially rendered useless. However, if the energy restriction can be bypassed, then the access lock becomes completely unusable.

So when He Ao was in the Kaya City instance, he entered the Hell Apostle, went directly into the energy cabin, removed the underlying control circuitry, installed it on the Adam 2, and replaced the energy core with the Adam 2's miniature fusion reactor, replacing the mech's original operating system with Eve.

It's like the computer was unusable, so I had to reinstall the entire operating system.

I replaced the battery with a new one.

However, He'ao currently lacks a miniature fusion reactor. Although he has Eve, the bracelet's computing core cannot support the mecha's combat calculations.

If we rely on remote network computing, such a large amount of data would have too great an impact on the battle if there were any delays, so Eve is essentially unusable.

Therefore, he now has no choice but to use another method.

Based on Wei An's experience, theoretically, mechs like the Seraph are connected to the federal intranet in cities, making them extremely difficult to breach firewalls. This is the advantage of being connected.

However, there are also downsides to being connected to the network, namely that those with higher authority can lock down the mechs at any time.

What Ainuan is doing now is definitely something he wouldn't dare to do online, since the Chief of Staff actually has the authority to temporarily lock down mechs. If a mech is suddenly locked down during a battle, then there's no going back.

However, the firewall is not as effective for mechs when they are offline.

It can be cracked using other methods.

He Ao walked up to the main unit of the mecha and pierced the alloy plate of the chassis under the main unit with his short sword.

A bright red alarm popped up instantly.

He ignored the alarm, cut a slit in the alloy plate with his short sword, searched through the dense network of connecting wires underneath, pulled out three from the innermost part, and snapped them off, exposing the metal inner wires.

"Warning! Warning! The main data input line has been compromised, the power supply is locked, and the self-destruct sequence has been initiated. The main power supply will detonate in 30 seconds."

A loud mechanical alarm blared throughout the cockpit.

The self-destruct program's trigger conditions can be set by the user. Obviously, Ainoan has set these trigger conditions to be quite broad in order to prevent the mech from being taken away.

He ignored the alarm and connected the three wires he had pulled out to the magnetic point on the bracelet. "Eve, help me take my place."

"Received. Firewall version is being checked. It will take about 25 seconds. Please enter the original driver's biometric information as instructed."

It's unrealistic to directly breach the firewall within thirty seconds, but He Ao now has the corpse of the real pilot of the mech, which can deceive the detection system and impersonate the pilot.

Next, following Eve's instructions, He Ao entered the original pilot's palm print and other biometric information, thus passing the mecha's identity verification.

The countdown flashing on the main control screen stopped at the last three seconds, leaving two extra seconds for Eve's test.

"Welcome, Major Tom."

As the system announced, the cockpit door slowly closed. He Ao tossed aside the pilot named Tom and gripped the mech's control stick.

The mech, which had been crouching on the ground, slowly stood up, its six jet engines emitting brilliant flames, like a seraph with six wings spread.

Ronald cannot pilot a mecha.

In fact, apart from some professional soldiers and some wealthy people who like mechs, very few people can operate mechs. Just learning to use these complicated buttons and joysticks takes a lot of effort, let alone being able to operate them skillfully.

However, just because Ronaldo won't, doesn't mean that the roles Heo has played before won't.

Vian has systematically studied mecha piloting and is very talented at it.

And these experiences and memories are now being applied to He Ao as well.

He Ao piloted the Seraph towards the sky. At first, he was a little unaccustomed to it, but as he continued to pilot it, with the added advantage of his C-level physical abilities and Eve's remote assistance, he quickly mastered the mecha piloting skills.

A bright flame streaked across the sky as Heo quickly caught up with the other four mechs in the air.

Because the lead mech's main engine was destroyed by Heo's laser cannon, the entire squad's flight speed decreased.

But at this moment, they were extremely close to the Palace of Radiance.

Tom, you're back?

Just then, a local area network voice communication was connected to the communication system of the mech piloted by He Ao.

He's mech slowly approached the other mechs in the sky. At the same time, he opened the main control panel and saw the movement paths of the other Ainoan units on the local area network.
