Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Something is Off (Additional update for Alliance Leader ’Open the Door to Receive the Delivery’) (5th update)
Outside Black Rock Storage Base.
Rhein and others were anxiously on their tiptoes, constantly looking towards the gate to see if Teacher Mia had come out yet.
"Why hasn’t she come out yet?"
"Right."
...
Su Ming patiently waited, acknowledging that although Teacher Mia often acted in unconventional ways, overall she was still quite reliable.
Thus, he felt that Teacher Mia probably had some assurance, but as to whether there were other traps was hard to say.
At this moment, Mia and Akusu walked out of the storage base.
"Look, the teacher is out!"
Angel and others joyfully shouted.
"There’s an officer with the teacher, there’s hope now!"
...
Rhein and the others were more excited than the next.
At this time, Mia gestured towards Su Ming and others, signaling them to come over.
Su Ming immediately led Rhein and the others and ran over.
Soon they all gathered at the gate, and Mia directly spoke to Su Ming and the others.
"Follow me, and yes, Akusu, hurry and bring the Mecha over."
"Okay, okay, right away."
Akusu’s smile was uglier than crying.
So Mia, leading Su Ming and the others, swaggered into Black Rock Storage Base.
"Wow, it’s so big and spacious inside!"
Allu and others exclaimed.
"That’s for sure, this place is used for storage, so the space definitely needs to be spacious."
Mia briefly explained.
At this time, Su Ming and others saw rows of Second Generation Mecha·Iron Guard passing by them, all moving towards a wide-open area.
"Teacher, why are so many Mechas gathering in the open space ahead? What’s happening?"
Zhang Yi asked curiously.
Mia yawned and said.
"What else could be happening? Of course, it’s to provide you guys with Mechas."
The expressions on Su Ming and others turned spectacular, their eyes widened as they looked at Mia.
"Teacher, are we using soldier’s Mechas?"
"More accurately, they’re sergeant’s Mechas, not soldiers. Which soldier could handle Second Generation Mechas?"
Mia lovingly corrected.
"Is this really okay? What if we accidentally damage them?"
Su Ming and others glanced at each other looking towards Mia.
"Why worry, just train first!"
Mia said nonchalantly.
Although Rhein and others were quite frantic, they were already accustomed to it, so no one made a peep.
They soon reached the open area up front, where sergeants, controlling their Mechas, neatly lined up and then climbed down from the cockpit after kneeling the Mechas.
"One for each person, train as I’ve taught you before."
Rhein and the others, hearing Mia’s command, rushed excitedly towards the Mechas.
The sergeants, watching these students dash towards their Mechas, had complex expressions. They wanted to remind the students to take care of their Mechas, but remembering the orders from their superiors, they could only silently move away.
At this time, Su Ming also moved towards a Second Generation Mecha, but before taking more than a few steps,
Mia called out to Su Ming.
"Su Ming, what are you doing?"
"Training on the Mecha?"
Su Ming stopped and turned back, puzzled in his reply.
"What’s there to train on a Second Generation Mech? Follow me!"
Mia waved her hand carefreely.
"Okay!"
Su Ming’s eyes immediately brightened upon hearing this, and he quickly followed Mia.
Mia then led Su Ming away, and before long, they arrived at a separate hangar.
There were dedicated soldiers guarding this place, but they all subconsciously ignored Mia and Su Ming, allowing the two to pass through unimpeded.
Su Ming and Mia entered the hangar and immediately saw a very prominent Mecha.
This Mecha was enormous, standing at eighteen meters tall, covered in thick gray heavy metal armor. A large caliber cannon was embedded in its left shoulder, two large caliber jets protruded from its back, and it held a fifteen-meter-long heavy alloy giant blade in its hand.
Besides that, two black stars and one red star were painted on its chest.
"Can this Mecha really be operated?"
Su Ming asked in astonishment, knowing that Zhou Hao from the Thirteenth District, who drove Green Wing Mecha, only had one star painted.
From this, it was clear that the owner of this Mecha was no ordinary person.
"Nonsense, when did you become so fussy? Just go and operate it!"
Mia, slightly annoyed, threw a key to Su Ming.
Su Ming took a deep breath, steeled his heart, and walked up to the Mecha.
The hover mechanism was triggered immediately, floating up in front of the Mecha as he reached out, opened the cockpit, and climbed in.
At that moment, Mia reminded Su Ming.
"This Third Generation Mecha is called ’Tiger,’ and it’s the complete opposite of the Green Wing Mecha you operated before. This is a heavy Mecha, very suitable for close combat; however, its drawback is obvious, lacking agility but full of explosive power. Moreover, to compensate for the mobility disadvantage, it’s also equipped with heavy long-range firepower!"
"Okay."
Su Ming didn’t close the cockpit, instead, he listened to Mia’s introduction while familiarizing himself with the control panel and auxiliary switches.
"There’s one more thing I forgot to remind you—the Mecha is fully loaded with live ammunition, don’t just press anything."
Mia suddenly remembered and mentioned it.
At this, Su Ming froze for a moment, then shouted to Mia.
"Teacher, go inform Rhein and the others, they don’t know the Mecha is loaded with live ammo."
"Uh oh!"
Mia was a bit stunned and immediately ran outside.
...
------------------
Ten days later.
At the entrance of Black Rock Storage Base.
Ten Iron Guard Mechas, holding Blast Guns, stood guard imposingly.
As several armored vehicles approached, the Iron Guard Mechas quickly opened the gate and saluted the armored vehicles.
Instead of driving towards the main building, these armored vehicles drove towards a giant storage warehouse nearby.
Soon, the armored vehicles parked at the entrance of the storage warehouse.
A middle-aged man with a centipede-like scar on his left cheek, dressed in a Colonel’s military uniform, stepped down from the lead armored vehicle. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Following him, numerous officers alighted from the other armored vehicles.
"Lord Sovi, aren’t we going straight to the main building to sit in the command room?"
A slightly plump Lieutenant Colonel with small, pea-sized eyes asked cheerily.
"No need. Since we are here for inspection, we should start from the ground up and not miss any details. Why? Wu Feng, are you lacking confidence in your subordinates?"
"How could that be, sir? The garrison commander of the Black Rock Storage Base is Morgan, the cream of the Federation’s crop, who has distinguished himself on the battlefield."
Wu Feng boasted about Morgan.
"Good, let’s proceed then!"
Sovi walked directly towards the entrance of the storage warehouse.
As they approached the entrance, the soldiers guarding it stiffened up, saluted Sovi and others, and shouted in unison.
"Good day, officers!"
"Mhm."
Sovi nodded slightly, his expression unfazed as he led his subordinates inside.
But he had only taken a few steps inside when he suddenly stopped.
Something felt off to Sovi; he instinctively stepped back.
Wu Feng and the others, puzzled, also stepped back.
Sovi stepped back to the entrance, looked at the guarding soldiers, and then asked in a baffled manner.
"Is this how you guard?"
"Yes, sir!"
The guarding soldiers responded nervously.
"Is there a problem? Isn’t this a good guard?"
Wu Feng asked, confused.
"Mecha! Aren’t Mechas supposed to guard here? Why use humans?"
Sovi asked, bewildered.
"Right, where are your Mechas?"
Realizing suddenly, Wu Feng asked with a stern face.
