62: Chapter 62: Silence 62: Chapter 62: Silence Besides that, no other enemies were visible.
Su Ming then spoke to Chen Tong.
“Let’s go!”
However, all that ca from the communication channel was a crackling response.
Su Ming frowned and imdiately turned on the external loudspeaker to ask Chen Tong.
“Chen Tong, can you hear speaking?”
“Now I can, there seems to be interference here, the wireless communications aren’t working.”
Chen Tong imdiately turned on his loudspeaker to respond.
“I got it, let’s go!”
Su Ming, controlling Iron Head with Chen Tong, entered from area B10, crossed the damaged wire fence, and walked into the smoke-filled Manhavi Interstellar Airport.
The airport, once bustling, had now beco a miserable wreck.
The specially poured concrete surface was pockmarked and covered with craters and bloodstains.
Along the way, nurous damaged Iron Heads and bodies torn apart by explosions could be seen.
In the distance, one could even spot the wreckage of ships crashing and burning fiercely.
At that mont, Su Ming, controlling Iron Head, stopped, and Chen Tong, following behind, imdiately raised his gun apprehensively and asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“Look ahead!”
Su Ming whispered in a low voice.
Chen Tong gazed ahead and saw a steel lookout tower toppled on the ground, surrounded by nurous fallen Iron Knights and Iron Heads.
“All these damaged Iron Knights, could it be another ambush?”
Seeing so many downed Iron Knights, Chen Tong felt uneasy.
They had been tricked by these fellows in the city before.
“Let’s go around!”
Uncertain, Su Ming decisively chose to take a detour.
“Yeah, I also think it’s safer to take a detour.”
Chen Tong agreed completely.
The two, driving Iron Heads, then bypassed the area, gradually making their way deeper into the airport.
An hour later.
Su Ming and Chen Tong were walking on the inner road of the airport, with utter silence all around, only occasionally interrupted by the sounds of explosions in the distance.
Moreover, along the way, Su Ming and Chen Tong had not seen a single student, nor had they encountered any enemies.
Chen Tong asked Su Ming, puzzled.
“Su Ming, what’s going on with the airport?
It feels eerily quiet, we can’t see anyone from our side or the enemy’s side.
Could it be that the students who landed fought the enemy to the death?”
“Do you think that’s possible?”
Su Ming didn’t believe in such luck, which he thought was even less likely than winning a big lottery.
“If that’s not the case, then aren’t we in a dire situation?
Surely the two of us can’t defend the military airport by ourselves?”
Chen Tong asked, his scalp tingling.
“Prepare yourself for that possibility.”
Su Ming sighed and continued to explore cautiously with Chen Tong.
Honestly, he too felt uneasy; the situation here was completely different from what he had anticipated.
As Su Ming and Chen Tong advanced, from beneath a damaged Iron Head behind them, a Spider Body Spiritual chanism crawled out.
Its red electronic eyes focused in the direction where Su Ming was.
In the electronic eyes’ visual, the image zood in, locking directly onto the two Iron Heads of Su Ming and Chen Tong.
“Target to kill Second Generation cha·Fla Rider, danger level assessed as high.”
“Erase!”
The visual scene began to shrink, and a map of the interstellar military airport erged.
Sizzle~
Within the map of the interstellar military airport, myriad red dots of various sizes spontaneously lit up, various dormant Iron Knights and chanized spiders awakened.
Then all the red dots drew a single red line, locking onto Su Ming and Chen Tong.
At this mont, the map was filled with nurous red dots moving toward Su Ming and Chen Tong.
After doing so, the Spider Body Spiritual chanism turned around and crawled away.
…
Manhavi Interstellar Military Airport·B5 Zone.
A command tower in the state of a lighthouse stood conspicuously, next to which lay a giant square steel platform on the right side of the lighthouse.
Twenty Iron Heads, along with more than twenty marine students, stood atop the building.
Creak~
Accompanied by the hissing sounds, the cockpits of three crouching Iron Heads opened.
Li Fubai, Lin Chuyu, and Sun Yue quickly climbed down.
“Wu Bo, keep watch here and notify us imdiately if anything happens.”
Li Fubai spoke to an Iron Head beside him.
“No problem, Brother Li!”
Wu Bo replied ingratiatingly.
The three, ard with rifles, walked toward the command tower.
This building was attached to the command tower, with a door that led directly inside.
They passed through the doorway, found the safety staircase, and carefully climbed upward.
They were extrely lucky not to encounter any enemies along the way and made it safely to the command center.
The spacious command center was a ss, chairs strewn askew, and the floor half-covered in blood from bodies clad in work uniforms.
Fortunately, the console was intact, and the screens were still lit.
Li Fubai handed his gun to Sun Yue.
“Hold this for .”
“Okay!”
Sun Yue imdiately took it.
Li Fubai walked up to the console and tried to open the information retrieval box.
A key verification prompt popped up due to prolonged disuse, requiring identity verification.
“We need a key.”
Lin Chuyu said, her brow furrowed as she looked at the screen.
“No worries, this system is a century old.
Although it’s troubleso to hack, it’s not a problem.”
Li Fubai expertly brought up the ergency command box and entered a series of codes.
“Amazing, but why are we hacking this?
How does this help us defend the airport?”
Sun Yue asked, sowhat puzzled.
“The enemy force within the airport is stronger and more nurous than we anticipated, and the students who landed have almost all perished.
If we want to achieve a high score on the main mission, our current weapons won’t cut it; we need top-tier weapons.
As long as I hack the system and find the relevant information, we’ll have a chance to turn the tables.”
Li Fubai explained his logic clearly to Lin Chuyu and Sun Yue.
“Impressive, leave it to you to find the key to breaking through so quickly.”
Sun Yue was especially excited, finally seeing a sliver of hope.
“Actually, it’s nothing.
We’re taking the city exams, not actual combat; they won’t pose us with an unsolvable situation; there must be a way out.”
Li Fubai added confidently.
“Mm.”
Lin Chuyu nodded indifferently.
At that mont, Li Fubai successfully breached the system, and an information retrieval box popped up.
He swiftly input commands, and a series of search information flooded the display.
Li Fubai, looking at the information, revealed an ecstatic expression on his face.
“I found it, just as I thought.
This military airport still houses unactivated advanced weapons.”
“What weapons?”
Both Lin Chuyu and Sun Yue looked towards Li Fubai.
“Third Generation cha·Gun Knight of the interstellar airport guard captain!
It’s located in the hangar in the central B2 area; let’s go!”
Li Fubai, overflowing with excitent, stretched out his hand, pointing to the interstellar airport map brought up on the screen.
“Okay!”
Lin Chuyu and the other did not hesitate in their response.
