Chapter 1418 - Curious!

1418 Curious!

“It seems we found something by sheer luck that others would search far and wide for.” Ling Lan’s gaze fell upon the bushes and forest beside her.

The leader of those hidden saw that one of the three mechas looked towards their direction and his heart skipped a beat.

Were they discovered?

Before he could determine that fact, he heard that mecha that was looking in their direction shouted, “Come out.”

Was it a ruse? Or were they actually discovered?

The leader was hesitant. He didn’t know whether to go out to fight or continue to hide.

Everyone else was waiting for their leader’s orders. Their hands were already on the control stick waiting for their leader to give the order to attack. Once their leader ordered an attack, they would rush towards the three mechas and surround them.

The reason mecha scavengers could survive so long in the Kamoda district was because no one could hold anything over them. The job of a mecha scavenger was a brutal one. They would either take out those who discovered them or escape with their tails between their legs. If they couldn’t escape, they would immediately self-destruct to not allow any information of scavenger organization to be leaked out.

Not knowing why, the leader of that group kept feeling that the three mechas standing before them were dangerous. He thought for a moment before deciding to bet on the fact that it was just a ruse.

Ling Lan saw no activity in the forest and looked towards Li Lanfeng.

Without being given any orders, Li Lanfeng knew what Ling Lan meant. He took out the beam gun from his back and instantly pointed it towards the forest.

It wasn’t a ruse! They were actually going to attack.

The leader of the scavengers immediately ordered, “Attack.”

If they hid anymore, they would be idiots. The opposition was clearly going to attack the place they were hiding at to get them out of that position by force.

After that order was given, six mechas jumped out of the forest from different positions. They were very well coordinated with each other. They split into two groups of three and attacked Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng, who were closest to their position.

Seeing this, Li Lanfeng walked in a ‘Z’ shape and dodged the attack of the first mecha. At the same time, the beam gun had already become a large sword.

Bang! The large sword instantly blocked the attacks from the other two mechas.

The attack was the accumulation of force of two mechas, but Li Lanfeng blocked it with ease. Not only did he not budge from it, he also used the force of the block to send the two mechas attacking him to fly backwards.

On the other side, Ling Lan saw three people come towards her. She didn’t pull out her sword but instead, backed up quickly, instantly dodging the attacks.

How could those three people be willing to give up on their pursuit? After seeing Ling Lan dodge backwards, they piloted their mechas and instantly followed up to attack.

Bang! Their attacks were finally blocked by a large sword.

‘Did that person finally make a move?’

The three of them looked past their weapons. The mecha they were originally attacking was already 20 to 30 meters away from them. The one that blocked them was actually the third mecha on the other side of the battlefield. When did he arrive?

They originally wanted to use their position to their advantage to quickly take out the two closer mechas. After taking the two of them out, they would then go all out on the mechas furthest away from them. That was why when the third mecha appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye, these three scavengers couldn’t believe their eyes.

“Your opponent is me.” They heard a voice coming from that mecha. That person spoke with a nonchalant tone, as if he didn’t see them as a threat.

Despite the mechas of the scavengers looking so so and even somewhat dilapidated, they were definitely still not any weaker than standard mechas after being modified by the top-class engineers of the scavenger organization. These people piloting these mecha were also experienced ace mecha operators. Despite not being comparable to the elite ace operator armies under the 13 Lords, they were still not any weaker when compared to operators from standard armies. In fact, they were even a bit stronger than the standard ones.

In order to survive, these scavengers were much more shameless than mecha operators. Thus, their fighting style was more towards the despicable and dirty side.

Thus, if their opponent looked down on them, they wouldn’t become angry. Instead, they would be happy. They were used to grasping any advantage they could get, and one of those advantages was when their opponent would look down on them, they would surprise them with unexpected strength.

Perhaps, the reason the scavenger organization made the outer appearance of the mechas so dilapidated was with this reason in mind. It was perhaps that they wanted their opponents to think of them as weak.

The three of them quickly backed up slowly. They didn’t try to split up to go after Ling Lan. Instead, they surrounded this new mecha while trying to find a chance to destroy it.

Although they didn’t know why the other mecha didn’t want to join the fight, they still wouldn’t refuse such an advantage for them, right? Were they going to be stupid and split one person to attack that one person? No!

Interesting!

Luo Lang excitedly licked his lips. The display on his mecha’s display was showing the area around him in a full 360 degrees, allowing Luo Lang to have complete vision of his opponents’ movement.

They suddenly pounce towards him with unexpected strength!

Luo Lang shifted sideways and dodged the extremely well hidden knife from the first mecha. At the same time, the large sword in his hands swung backwards to slash at the mecha attacking him from above.

Luo Lang’s heavy slash came too suddenly, but the mecha operator attacking from above was a still veteran after all. After seeing the sword slash coming right at him, his engine throttled to instantly stop him from dropping any further downwards. He forcefully stopped his mecha in mid-air as he prepared to dodge the sword slash.

“Nice try,” Luo Lang laughed softly. The large sword he originally swung backwards, suddenly flew out of his hands to fly towards the dodging mecha.

“Look out.” The third mecha was originally going to attack Luo Lang from the ground. After seeing the sword in the air, he could only give up on his original plan. He temporarily switched the focus from Luo Lang to the flying sword. He was attempting to bring down the sword.

Bang! His large sword struck down Luo Lang’s sword.

At that moment, Luo Lang took one step and arrived next to the location where his sword was struck down. He quickly picked it up and swung it towards one direction.

This time, he was attacking the mecha that he evaded in the beginning.

This was unexpected as Luo Lang recovered pretty quickly. It could be said that when Luo Lang tossed out his large sword, everyone believed he had lost his chance to beat them. How could they have known Luo Lang did all that to attack that one mecha?

The large sword forcibly swept that mecha. The immense force instantly sent that mecha flying. It smashed into the ground and skidded on the ground for more than 10 meters before stopping.

After seeing their comrade being struck down, the other two mechas actually didn’t panic. They didn’t choose to go save their comrade, but rather continued attacking from two blind spots, one from above and one from below, before Luo Lang could recover from his previous attack.

It could be said that when their comrade had taken a hit, these two were still able to calmly choose the best position of attack. This type of mentality proved these mecha operators weren’t ordinary people.

After watching to this point, Ling Lan couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. She was now somewhat curious about this group of mecha operators.
