Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 56 Speechless
After hearing this, Zhao Ran quickly used intelligent assistance, and soon the crooked mecha straightened out. She breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Finally saved."

"Don't be too happy too soon, the real trouble has just begun."

Su Ming reminded calmly.

"This is really a weird thing. The ship finally broke through, but it was blown up. What should we do now? Use the auxiliary jet device to directly attack the Manhawi interstellar airport?"

Chen Tong asked Su Ming with some annoyance.

When Su Ming was about to answer Chen Tong's words, he suddenly saw three missiles coming towards them. He immediately raised the gun in his hand and fired.

"careful!"

Rumble~
The two missiles were blown up instantly.

But the next second, Zhao Ran's terrified cry came from Su Ming's communication device.

"what!"

Su Ming was startled and turned to look over.

Boom~
Zhao Ran's mecha was hit by the missile and exploded.

"Damn it."

Chen Tong said in shock and anger.

Su Ming's face was also a little solemn. This exam was even more cruel than he had imagined, so he spoke decisively to Chen Tong.

"Chen Tong, come with me. We will not land directly at the Manhawi Interstellar Military Airport. We will land at the edge of the nearby Manhawi Base City."

"Is this okay? Will it deviate from the mission?"

"It doesn't matter. We will attack the Manhawi Interstellar Military Airport from the outside to avoid death as soon as we land. That place may have already fallen. Once we enter, it will be a meat grinder battlefield."

"it is good!"

Chen Tong stopped hesitating and agreed immediately.

Su Ming then adjusted the jet device and landed towards the base city next to the Manhawi interstellar military airport.

Looking down from the sky, one could see the sky filled with mechas that had made forced landings. Some of these mechas, like Su Ming, fell toward the periphery of the airport, while many of them were stubborn enough to fall directly toward the Manhawi Interstellar Military Airport.

Time passes by second by second.

Su Ming looked at the ground which was getting closer and closer, and then shouted to Chen Tong.

"Auxiliary jet device, maximum power deceleration!"

"it is good!"

Chen Tong immediately followed Su Ming's instructions.

呲味~
Along with the spurting of hot flames, the falling speed of the two iron heads suddenly slowed down, and then they heavily crashed into the city where flames were rising to the sky.

Boom!

As a spherical house was smashed to pieces, Su Ming made a successful emergency landing.

He controlled the mecha to force open the wreckage of the house and walked out.

On the street not far away, Chen Tong was lying on his butt, still not recovering.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

Su Ming walked over, stretched out his hand to Chen Tong and asked.

Inside the cockpit of the Iron Head Mecha, Chen Tong shook his head, reached out and held Su Ming's hand, and controlled the mecha to stand up.

"Fortunately!"

At this time, Su Ming entered the command, turned off the intelligent assistance system of the Iron Head Mecha, and then said to Chen Tong.

"Turn off the intelligent assistance system and switch everything to manual priority."

"it is good."

Chen Tong was stunned for a moment, then responded.

At this moment, there was a whoosh and a rumbling sound.

Su Ming and Chen Tong immediately looked over nervously.

All they saw were black diamond-shaped metal cabins raining down on the street next to Su Ming and his group.

Click!

Then an exit opened in the diamond-shaped metal cabin.

I saw students wearing first-generation exoskeleton armor and iron shells and holding rifles walking out.

One of the tall boys, holding a gun, looked around and said.

"Safe, no enemies."

"Of course it's safe. Don't you see there are two iron-headed mechas next to it?"

A boy named Zhang Lie said with envy. At this time, the tall boy Chen Yu turned his head to look at Su Ming and the others, and said with a very interesting expression.

"Fuck, this is too much! Isn't this too much of a bully? I should have known not to apply for land warfare. I'll be cannon fodder. It's so cool to drive a mecha!"

"What's the point of saying this now? It's too late."

Zhang Lie said with great envy.

"Forget it, there is nothing we can do now. Let's go and curry favor with the two big brothers and ask them to lead us to the interstellar military airport."

Chen Yu said helplessly to the student next to him.

"Uh-huh."

Everyone present agreed.

At this time, Zhang Lie asked, not quite understanding.

"Why do we have to seize the interstellar military airport? What's so good about a broken airport?"

"Are you an idiot? If we don't seize the interstellar military airport, how can we force the ships to land and evacuate the residents of the nearby Earth Flame Star? Brother, how did you learn history?"

Chen Yu looked at Zhang Lie in confusion. If he had paid attention in class, he would not have asked such a question.

"I'm a mechanical maintenance major, why should I study history?"

Zhang Lie replied nonchalantly.

"Fuck, you're a maintenance worker?"

Chen Yu and others asked with their eyes wide open.

"Yeah? What's the problem?"

Zhang Lie’s puzzled questions and answers.

"As a maintenance worker, why didn't you die on the ship and take the landing capsule? Isn't this squeezing out the combat personnel? Get out of here!"

Chen Yu raised his gun angrily and pointed it at Zhang Lie.

"Bah, why should I die on the boat? I can fight just as well with a gun, what's the difference?"

Zhang Lie said unconvinced.

"Ok."

Chen Yu was also stunned. It seemed that this was the truth. Students from the Marine Corps Department were not necessarily much better than him.

Su Ming looked at this bunch of funny guys and sighed. He said to Chen Tong.

"let's go!"

"it is good!"

Chen Tong was also helpless. He thought they looked quite competent when they first came out, but he almost got into a quarrel with them.

Just as Su Ming and the other man were controlling the mecha forward, Chen Yu and the others reacted immediately and hurriedly chased after Su Ming and the others.

"Brother, wait for us."

Su Ming ignored them and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

There was destruction everywhere, with collapsed buildings, piles of bricks and rubble, and twisted and deformed vehicle wreckage scattered all over the place, blocking the roads.

The air was filled with gunpowder smoke that lingered for a long time, as if covering the entire city with a layer of haze.

If you look closely, you can see bloody and shocking corpses under the rubble.

The whole city was shrouded in the shadow of death.

"Brother, let us fight alongside you. We can work together as humans and machines."

At this time, Chen Yu rushed to Su Ming and asked earnestly.

Su Ming glanced at Chen Yu and said.

"You mean the coordination of walking and machine?"

"Yes, we will clear the way for you and keep watch?"

Chen Yu said excitedly.

"Are you sure you can clear the way for us? Can all your men stay behind us?"

Su Ming turned his head and looked, then said helplessly.

Chen Yu was also slightly startled. He turned his head and looked back. His expression was a little bit unbearable. He could only smile awkwardly and said.

"Brother, this is an exam, not a real battlefield. Please be considerate of us. You have this big guy to protect you, but we are very fragile and will be destroyed at the first touch! Just let us follow you to gain some points, and there is strength in numbers!"

"As you wish."

Su Ming did not explicitly refuse. After all, there is a saying that this guy is right: there is strength in numbers.

So Su Ming and Chen Tong headed towards the airport.
