Watching themselves break through the blockade, everyone’s face lit up with wild joy.
However, they soon discovered they had celebrated too early. Breaking through the blockade didn’t an they had successfully escaped.
The Morgan Conglorate might not have been able to stop them, but they could tail the group, constantly attacking and harassing them from behind.
Under these conditions, they couldn’t pick up any speed at all. If they continued to be slowed down by this pursuit, the enemy’s original encirclent force would soon catch up.
At that point, the attacks they would face would certainly be even fiercer. Whether they could escape successfully would be anyone’s guess.
"What should we do? Does anyone have any good ideas?" Song Yao asked anxiously over the comms channel.
"Neither our chas nor our Armored Vehicles have any advantage in Speed. Shaking them off is practically impossible," Qin Wenbo said, gritting his teeth. "If we want to retreat safely under these circumstances, our only option is probably to form an interception team."
"Brother Lin, what about you? Any suggestions?" After a brief silence, Song Yao asked, clinging to his last hope.
"As things stand, our only choice is to send a team to intercept them," Lin Xinghai replied after so thought, giving the sa answer.
Escaping easily under these circumstances was next to impossible.
Hearing Lin Xinghai say the sa, the last shred of hope in Song Yao’s heart vanished.
But he was a pragmatic man. He stated bluntly, "Brothers, who dares to join in intercepting the Morgan Conglorate’s forces?"
"Commander, I’ll go with you."
"Commander, count in."
"I’ll be a hero again in my next life! I’m in!"
mbers of the Three Major rcenary Corps all volunteered over the comms channel. Fang Tianhe and the others also prepared to join the interception team.
Everyone knew this interception mission was almost certain death. Lin Xinghai was genuinely surprised that, despite knowing the risks, so many were willing to step forward.
Just as everyone was steeling themselves for a heroic sacrifice, Lin Xinghai cut in at a rather awkward mont. "Ahem! Actually, there’s no need for all this talk of heroic last stands. I just need a few Speed-type Superpower Users to help with the interception."
For a mont, it was as if the comms channel had been muted. There was complete silence.
"I can use my Wind Superpower for a speed boost."
"My Basic Superpower can also increase my speed."
After a mont of silence on the comms channel, two people spoke up.
"And once we complete the mission, are you confident you can get away?" Lin Xinghai asked.
"I think so," one of them said.
"An eighty percent chance. But if they have Speed-type Superpower Users chasing us, then all bets are off," the other person replied, giving a more precise answer.
"Alright! Then you’re with ! And don’t worry. When we retreat, their Speed-type Superpower Users won’t dare to pursue us alone. Your safety is guaranteed," Lin Xinghai said with confidence.
"Brother Lin, what’s your plan?" Song Yao imdiately asked.
"Here’s my plan..."
Lin Xinghai imdiately laid out his plan. All the cha Pilots who heard it were both baffled and confused.
After listening to Lin Xinghai’s explanation, they all had the sa thought: ’Is it really that simple?’
Of course, regardless of their private thoughts, there was only one thing to do now: follow Lin Xinghai’s plan.
The pursuing forces from the Morgan Conglorate then saw the Three Major rcenary Corps suddenly unleash a storm of firepower.
The Three Major rcenary Corps unleashed every heavy weapon that could pose a threat to their pursuers. Hand Cannon Bullets were just the start; they threw everything they had left, including Bee Bombs and Plasma Grenades.
The chas did the sa, launching all the Micro Missiles loaded in their leg compartnts.
The Morgan Conglorate was almost stunned by the attack. The sudden barrage was so fierce that they couldn’t withstand it and were forced to scatter in a panic.
After the fierce assault ended, they realized that in just a few short monts, the gap between them and the Three Major rcenary Corps had widened to over 100 ters.
If that were all, they could have easily closed the distance. However, as the smoke from the explosions cleared, they suddenly saw three chas blocking their path.
The idea of just three chas trying to block the Morgan Conglorate’s main force was almost laughable. But when the n from the Conglorate saw Lin Xinghai’s Speed cha among the three, they still reacted as if facing a formidable enemy.
During the breakout, Lin Xinghai had already destroyed five of their chas. It was no exaggeration to say he had struck fear into their hearts.
So it wasn’t just three chas in front of them; even if it had only been Lin Xinghai’s cha alone, they would have proceeded with caution.
Of course, after a mont’s hesitation, the Morgan Conglorate forces quickly regained their composure and charged toward Lin Xinghai.
They held an overwhelming nurical advantage. As long as Lin Xinghai wasn’t a god, there was no way he could stop them.
And reality proved this to be true. Facing the charging chas, Lin Xinghai didn’t dare to engage them head-on. He brought out his Electromagnetic Railgun again, firing as he retreated.
However, this ti Lin Xinghai’s targets weren’t the chas, but the Armored Vehicles.
WHOOSH!
A fist-sized projectile flew out, and the front wheel bearing of the lead Armored Vehicle shattered, sending the tire flying.
Driven by its imnse inertia, the Armored Vehicle lost its front wheel and imdiately flipped onto its side.
The occupants were all the Optimized, however, and the Armored Vehicle was sturdy enough that no one was seriously injured.
But by the ti the Armored Vehicle was repaired and ready to resu the pursuit, at least five minutes would have passed. It was, for all intents and purposes, no longer a threat.
This move confused the Morgan Conglorate forces for a mont, but Cobra was the first to react. He shouted over the comms channel, "Stop them! If all our Armored Vehicles are disabled, we’ll lose our fire support. Trying to chase them down to delay them will be too dangerous!"
The others quickly realized he was right. Although the chas were the main force in this battle, the role of the Armored Vehicles couldn’t be ignored. They provided a steady stream of suppressive fire.
While weapons like Tearing Rifles couldn’t pose a threat to the chas, Hand Cannons certainly could.
When both sides were exchanging fire earlier, their chas hadn’t felt the full threat of the Hand Cannons.
But if their own convoy was disabled, once they caught up, they would surely face concentrated fire from the enemy’s Hand Cannons.
Getting hit by a few Hand Cannon rounds was one thing, but if they were hit by a dozen, or even dozens, of them, not even a cha could withstand that kind of punishnt.
