In the great canyon with an average depth of 3,500 meters, Blind Man was desperately running for his life without looking back. Despite this, he could clearly see the three Imperial mechs pursuing him from behind because he was no longer blind, and his mech had a rear camera.

The vision from his mechanical eyes was still somewhat uncomfortable, like looking at someone through an old mobile phone screen during a video call. Nevertheless, he could not possibly mistake those three mechs for anything other than Imperial mechs.

The Imperial mechs originated from the Federation's mechs. Because the Imperial gorillas didn’t initially need to wear bulky spacesuits on the alien planet, their relatively lightweight spacesuits made the already formidable warriors even more powerful in the low-gravity environment. When they ran, the bullets from heavy machine guns couldn’t catch up to them.

It wasn’t that they ran faster than bullets but rather that they moved faster than the Federation soldiers

    "Old Ji, we’ve lost contact with the base too. But don’t worry, it’s a normal occurrence. We’ll regain communication once we pass through this area."The voice of Lame Man was light and unconcerned, showing no sign of tension. After all, he was a Federation First-Class Mech Warrior with twelve gold stars on his mech. He had to act calm and collected, especially because he was with the Federation’s oldest new recruit.The words "oldest" and "new recruit" seemed unrelated, almost contradictory. But when it came to Ji Xinghe, the title of the oldest new recruit was justifiable.Ji Xinghe wasn’t nervous at all. On the contrary, he was filled with unprecedented excitement. This excitement was not about piloting a mech for the first time on an alien planet. It was the fact that, after long periods of controlling the mech, he felt no fatigue; instead, he experienced a long-lost vitality.It wasn’t physical vitality—his physical condition had always been good, barring a certain period. It was

    Except for Ke Xinghe, no one knew what happened in the moment of the collision. Even the Imperial gorilla mech that collided with him had no idea. Blind and Cripple should have been very curious, but they had no time to ask at this critical juncture."Old Ke, retreat.""Retreat now."Five seconds is a very short time. Ke Xinghe, who had just turned around, was already very close to the second Imperial mech. It was like an ancient cavalry charge; when a cavalryman reached peak speed, their lance became an unparalleled penetrating force. Compared to the best horses in the world, the power and explosiveness provided by mechs far surpassed them.One of the standard weapons of the Imperial mechs was the lance, averaging 6.5 meters in length. Combined with their speed and strength, these lances often pierced the critical spots of Federation mechs before the first collision occurred. Not the heart or kidneys, as mechs had neither, and their frontal armor could withstand shell impacts unscath

  • MECH WARRIO   Chapter 061: Leave It to Me

    From being hunted by three Imperial mechas alone to now turning the tables and chasing down an Imperial mecha with his comrades, Blind Man felt unprecedented exhilaration. It was even more exhilarating than when he first installed his mechanical eye and saw the world anew.“Where the hell do you think you're running, you piece of crap?”This kind of profanity didn't suit Federation First-Class Mecha Warrior Lieutenant Li Lin's status, but it was the most genuine expression of Blind Man's feelings at that moment. There was something he had wanted to say in his pre-recorded final message: Dad, I don't want to die. Mom, I'm so scared.The three mechas raced through the canyon, skillfully avoiding areas that could trap them, but still unable to escape their fate. Amidst the pounding sounds, Cripple was the first to catch up with the last Imperial mecha, as he hadn’t reduced his speed since activating full-power mode. This Imperial mecha, like Blind Man's, had braked suddenly upon realizin

    "Zhaizi, what are you daydreaming about? I know Old Ji's moves were slick, clean, and crisp, but now's not the time to be in awe," reminded Cripple.Blind Man, who was deleting his final words, hastened his pace. He was somewhat relieved there was no satellite communication signal here. If his final words had already been transmitted and he hadn't died... it wouldn’t be shameful, just awkward."Weren't you just dazed too? Scared stiff by Old Ji, right? A solo duel, a near-instant kill, did you see that? Only a special-grade mecha warrior can achieve that near-instant kill," Blind Man, a first-grade mecha warrior, continued to marvel at the recent battle. After Ji Xinghe caught up, he and Cripple intended to help, but Ji Xinghe gave them no chance, quickly gaining absolute dominance and completing another near-instant kill while they watched in astonishment.This was the third time. The first undisputed instant kill was seen clearly by both Cripple and Blind Man. The second battle, tho

    With a cracking sound, the hatch of Ji Xinghe's mech opened. Because the air inside the cockpit had already been evacuated, there was no airflow disturbance. Wearing his protective helmet, he had about an hour of activity time.Oxygen supply was one aspect; the other was that the thin protective suits specifically for mech warriors provided relatively weak protection.The protective suit, weighing more than ten kilograms, felt light on Ji Xinghe. He jumped out of the cockpit without leaving any noticeable footprints. The green indicator light on his suit represented his current good condition. If the light turned red, it would indicate that his physical condition was problematic or that his activity time was running out.The Limping Man piloted his mech nearby, helping by turning on the mech’s lights, allowing Ji Xinghe to work at the bottom of the dim canyon."Old Ji, should I drag that other Imperial mech over here? It would save you from having to cross over and disassemble it late

    The dismantling work proceeded smoothly. After returning to his mech, Ji Xinghe marked the map and left with the parts he had removed. If he got the chance, he would return to retrieve the three Imperial mechs. The base, upon receiving the news, could also send a team to pick up the mechs during a lull in the fighting.After crossing the five-kilometer stretch, communication was fully restored. Both Lame and Ji Xinghe established contact with the base. Blind had already explained the situation, so they didn't need to say much—just supplement and transmit the mech's records."Sergeant Ji Xinghe, please confirm your physical condition, as well as your mech's mobility and combat capability."The voice over the communicator made Ji Xinghe pause. Sergeant already? Indeed, the speed of promotions during wartime could only get faster, not slower, depending solely on the intensity of the battle and one's ability. After Blind completed his report and transmitted his mech's recorder data, Base

    Base Three is located within a mountain, with entrances for spaceships and other vehicles hidden from sight. The combination of optical camouflage technology and holographic projection technology allows the Federation's bases on the alien planet to remain hidden from the Empire's regular detection.From a distance, it looked as if the three mechas were about to crash into the mountain wall, but in the next moment, they all disappeared without a trace. The ground beneath them turned into a metal surface resembling an aircraft carrier deck. This large area, similar to a landing pad, was almost identical in structure to Base Six.After passing through several metal gates and undergoing routine procedures such as disarming, cleaning, disinfection, and medical examinations, Ji Xinghe and his two companions finally entered Base Three. Although there are no native organisms on the alien planet theoretically posing no risk of infectious diseases, the bodies of the Imperial apes might carry un

    "I'm sorry, I don't have time," Ji Xinghe said honestly. He truly didn't have much time as he planned to leave Base 3 as soon as his mech was repaired.The Level 1 mech warrior who had spoken earlier was taken aback, then looked at the Special Level mech warrior beside him."Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to provoke you. I just heard that you defeated Han Li and watched the video of your mech fighting three opponents in the canyon. I really want to give it a try."Jackson, standing over two meters tall, looked more like a bodybuilder than a mech warrior. However, the badge on his chest indicated that he was a Special Level mech warrior, a testament to his undeniable strength. As he spoke, he took two steps forward, standing in front of Ji Xinghe, his presence imposing, contradicting his claim of non-provocation.Blind and Lame frowned and stepped forward, standing half a step behind Ji Xinghe.Ji Xinghe frowned. "I haven't fought three opponents at once, and I really don't have t

    Having decided to participate in the orbital drop mech warrior test, Ji Xinghe did not leave Base Five immediately. It wasn’t that he had hesitated again; the “education” from Ji Rongxinyue had been very effective. The delay was simply because the necessary equipment required time to manufacture.“Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, we have reviewed your relevant physical data and estimate that it will take ten days to customize your orbital drop mech suite. Please confirm once again if you want to continue using the Federal standard 16th generation mech?”“Yes, I want to use the Federal standard 16th generation mech.”Ji Xinghe confirmed his choice. If possible, he would have preferred to pilot the Federal 1st generation standard mech, the one he first encountered and used the most. However, the initial models, still usable in the game Starry Glory, had long been phased out on alien battlefields. Therefore, he chose the 16th generation standard mech, which he was second most familiar with.In term

    Ji Xinghe and his Xinghe Squad finally returned to Base No. 6, but they didn’t have much time to reunite with Master Liu and the others. As soon as they arrived, the transfer convoy between Base No. 3 and Base No. 6 was already prepared, and they received orders to depart immediately.“Thank you, and take care.”Ji Xinghe accepted the gift they had prepared for Ji Rong Xinyue, waving goodbye without saying "see you again," because he knew that "goodbye" might mean "forever."The journey was uneventful, and the transfer convoy took three days to finally reach the relatively safe Base No. 5. Despite the sudden influx of people, Base No. 5 did not face any resource shortages as the Federation had already made preparations.Ji Rong Xinyue was very happy to receive the gift, but even happier to see that Ji Xinghe had returned unharmed.“Grandpa, what does orbital drop mean?”For many, this information was still classified, but Ji Xinghe revealed it to Ji Rong Xinyue without reservation, ev

    Chapter 138: The Ace Mecha Warrior’s Interrogation

    At the start of a video conference, all the elite mecha warriors participating watched footage from a battle recorder. The footage showed Ji Xinghe’s fight in the canyon.In this battle, he single-handedly destroyed fourteen Empire mechas, bringing his total number of gold stars to thirty-six, placing him at the middle rank among the Federation’s three hundred and twenty-seven active elite mecha warriors.The first scene depicted a pale blue energy shockwave bursting from a diamond-shaped metal object, sending Federation Level Two mecha warrior Zuo Qiyu flying. He then got up and chose to charge forward.The combat recorder’s audio had not been removed, so all 116 elite mecha warriors participating in the video conference could hear Left Hand’s voice: “Go, Old Ji, don’t look back, run, run fast, I can hold them off.”Through Ji Xinghe’s mecha’s perspective, the elite mecha warriors watched the Federation mecha charging at the Empire mechas and heard the pilot’s shout. Even though all

    Inside Base Six, many people were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the convoy from Base Three, hoping to reunite with familiar faces.The surface area of this alien planet couldn't compare to the Blue Planet, and the Federation's controlled area wasn't vast. But the extreme difficulty of transportation and the scarcity of resources meant that many people who met and became familiar on this alien planet might never see each other again after parting.They had promised to reunite on the Blue Planet after winning the war, but some would never return. Even their ashes could only remain on this alien planet, buried deeper and deeper under the orange-red dust, until no one would remember where they were buried.Perhaps one day, when humanity fully occupies this planet, technology will advance enough to change the planet's environment, creating a real atmosphere. Seeds will be scattered across the alien land, taking root and sprouting, carried by the wind to spread new life.When countless se

    A squad of nine mechas was moving swiftly through the canyon. They were a support unit, initially tasked with escorting a convoy to a designated area before returning. However, unexpected developments forced them to turn back.“Have we established contact yet?”“No, the Xinghe Squad is still out of contact.”“Damn it, what the hell are they doing? I could understand if Ji Xinghe and Left Hand went silent, but why did the support team, Blind Man’s group, also go dark? Couldn't they have left someone outside the blackout zone to maintain communication?”When the Xinyue Fox battleship bombarded the area from space, this mecha squad did not advance at full speed. But when a flare illuminated the alien night sky, they accelerated to maximum speed. The flare, following the bombardment, indicated ongoing enemy presence, necessitating immediate support.But they had no intel.“It's a new team after all, lack of experience is understandable. I heard that Blind Man and his group came from the R

    One, two, three.Faced with encirclement by eight Imperial mechas, Ji Xinghe seized every opportunity he could. After single-handedly taking down three Imperial mechas, he finally ran out of chances. There were still five mechas left in pursuit, with enough distance between them for him to take them out one by one, but the canyon held more dangers than just those five. While Ji Xinghe wasn’t sure how long it would take to completely destroy the rhomboid metal construct, the Imperial mechas’ previous caution suggested it wasn't invulnerable to mecha attacks.The six Imperial mechas assigned to destroy the construct could join the pursuit at any moment. If Ji Xinghe waited until they appeared, he would lose his chance to escape.He didn’t want to die, so he chose to run before the opportunity vanished completely.At full speed, the sixteenth-generation Federation standard mecha dashed through the dark canyon, kicking up a trail of dust. Behind him were eleven Imperial mechas that had al

    Six Federation mechas gathered together, now in full power mode, advancing quickly in an assault formation toward the depths of the canyon. The previously lively communication channel had fallen silent, with only the faint sound of each other’s breathing audible.They had already increased their speed once when they entered the canyon, shifting from reconnaissance mode to fast-advance mode. But when the signal flare's light pierced through the dark canyon and exploded in the night sky, their speed reached its peak.If they wanted to go faster, they would have to charge, but now was clearly not the time for that."We are about to enter the communication blackout zone. All units, take note: if the enemy's numbers are overwhelming, Niuma, Heavy Cannon, immediately retreat to maintain communication. If necessary, withdraw at full speed."Blind Man’s command was met with no objections, not even from Su Chuanyun, who had just become Niuma. Despite his personality, he didn’t argue. He knew v

    Chapter 133: I Can Still Kill

    As Ji Xinghe once again destroyed three Imperial mechas, the total number of Imperial mechas in the canyon didn't decrease; instead, it increased.Twenty-two, exactly matching the number of golden stars on Ji Xinghe's mecha."The warp gate has disappeared. They're gone. They've stopped."Left Hand exclaimed in surprise. In his sight, the diamond-shaped metal warp gate vanished suddenly, as if it had run out of energy, just as the thirtieth Imperial mecha descended from it. The diamond-shaped metal reverted to being an inert metal ingot.Their reinforcements were gone, and they had stopped moving.After breaking eight Imperial mechas in total, the third batch of four Imperial mechas chasing Ji Xinghe and Left Hand finally halted. They chose not to continue their charge, maintaining a safe pursuit distance from Ji Xinghe and Left Hand's mechas.The eighteen Imperial mechas guarding the diamond-shaped metal also remained motionless, as if their systems had shut down.But Ji Xinghe showed

    “Old Ji, you should have run, really.”Left Hand stared at the three Imperial mechas two hundred meters away, which had stopped their charge, and the ten more mechas near the rhombus-shaped metallic structure further back. He still believed Ji Xinghe should have run.The two Imperial mechas he was holding off had been destroyed the moment Ji Xinghe joined the battle. Up to this point, the two of them had already taken down five Imperial mechas, and neither of their mechas had suffered any substantial damage. It was a rare and complete victory, but the number of Imperial mechas remained overwhelming, and they kept increasing.“We still have time to run,” Left Hand continued to persuade. “We’re right near Base No. 3. They’ve got heavy defenses there, and Blind and the others are ready to back us up. If we run together, we might be able to link up with them. By then, with eight mechas fighting together, they might just give up chasing us. Plus, once we get to a zone where communications
