Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Unexpected Surprise (Extra for Alliance Leader Hua Yue Ye) (Fifth Update)

The Iron Guard Mecha’s Jet Wings suddenly blasted hot flames, quickly overtaking the Flame Knights ahead and charging toward the exit of the tunnel.

However, those overtaken Flame Knights were left dumbfounded as they turned their heads to look.

They saw that an IV-type Chilami genetic mutant, the Bone Corpse Beast, had caught up and was ripping apart a Flame Knight with its gaping maw, incredibly vicious.

"Ah~"

Screams of agony resounded one after another.

Su Ming glanced back, then immediately accelerated into a dive, continuing to overtake the mechas ahead of him.

The mechas he passed all felt like cursing.

There’s a saying that fits the situation well, "It doesn’t matter how fast you run as long as you run faster than the others."

This saying was perfectly demonstrated at that moment as the Bone Corpse Beast, like a mad dog, relentlessly pursued them, brutally taking down each Flame Knight one by one.

In the blink of an eye, all the mechas behind Su Ming had perished without exception, and then the Bone Corpse Beast locked its sights on Su Ming.

"It’s coming for us!"

Lin Chuyu held her breath, her heart leaping to her throat.

They watched as the Bone Corpse Beast closed in on Su Ming rapidly.

"I know!"

Su Ming suddenly pushed the power control lever to its limit, and the whole mecha accelerated fiercely into the narrow passage.

The Bone Corpse Beast didn’t hesitate to follow suit, its gaping maw snapping viciously at Su Ming!

"Be careful, there’s a T-junction ahead, and no way out!"

Lin Chuyu’s heart, lodged in her throat, screamed out.

Su Ming made a split-second decision, harshly maneuvering the mecha to shut off the Jet Wings, and with the whole mecha gripping the ground, it friction-drifted into the passage to the right.

Zzhh~

The entire mecha, with sparks flying, skidded past the corner wall.

As for the Bone Corpse Beast, it couldn’t stop in time and crashed heavily into the wall of the turning passage.

There was a thunderous boom.

The entire thick metal wall bent.

Without a moment of hesitation, Su Ming pulled at the control lever, struggling to get the mecha upright, and instantly reactivated the Jet Wings to flee.

But the Jet Wings spat out a warning—damage from the overload—so he controlled the mecha to leg it.

"Roar!"

The IV-type Chilami genetically altered, Bone Corpse Beast, shook its head and quickly recovered, furiously chasing after the fleeing Su Ming.

At that moment, Su Ming saw a crossroads ahead in the passage and randomly chose the left tunnel to turn into.

...

Federation Government Administrative Building·Dawn Hall 2.

Watching Timi and the others arriving at the Number One Experimental Mecha Repository, Gakels’s aged face sunk like water.

Xiao Lie and others were shocked as they observed the Biological Mechas and test subjects.

"This?"

"Haha, who would have thought, truly, who would have thought! The Federation Government’s Biological Mecha research base is not within their territory, but instead, in the transit country of Tabbouken—what a brilliant deception. No wonder the Federation Government went to such lengths to rescue when trouble arose in Tabbouken. Gakels, let me ask you, does the destruction of the Tabbouken transit country count as a calamity caused by the Federation?"

Farren asked with a beaming smile.

"Farren, watch your language. The destruction of the Tabbouken transit country was caused by Chilami; the Federation Government did its utmost to rescue," Gakels retorted with a dark face.

"Fine, but you should be grateful the power was cut, otherwise you can slowly explain to those below."

Farren said with a sneer.

"Hmph!"

Gakels snorted coldly, not saying much more, his eyes glued to the live footage.

In reality, what Farren spoke of was just the secret that was openly concealed—if it got out, there would be some trouble, but that wasn’t anything major.

The truly buried secret is so profound that nobody can reveal it—whomever touches it would die!

A trace of murderous intent flickered in Gakels’s eyes.

At that moment, the live footage showed the IV type Lord-level·Chilami reviving.

Alicia’s smile became stiff, especially when she saw them destroying Chilami’s restraint device with concentrated fire, and the few students who snuck aboard the Biological Machines. Her heart sank to the depths.

Gakels’ mood had greatly improved; with so many high-level monsters stirred up, the people inside the base were unlikely to survive. Wiping them out was just a matter of time. He hadn’t expected this pleasant surprise.

Farren had been closely watching Gakels’ expressions. He keenly noticed a slight relaxation in Gakels’ demeanor, which seemed insignificant.

But with Farren’s understanding of Gakels, he felt something was amiss. The secrets hidden in this base were probably not so simple.

So he turned his attention back to the live video feed, closely watching those who were escaping, to see if they could find any valuable information.

Inside the Terra Royal Base·Underground Tunnel.

Su Ming was controlling the mecha, constantly running and turning along the tunnel. However, as he delved deeper, his expression grew extremely serious.

The base was much larger than he had imagined, like a labyrinth on the inside.

It was only thanks to such a layout that he was able to shake off the pursuing monster without danger.

Just then, a loud explosion echoed from not far ahead.

Su Ming immediately stopped the mecha, turned it around, and whispered.

"These bases are really cursed, there’s something in the front as well."

"The inner walls of the base have strong insulating properties; scanning devices don’t work well. Seems like we can only rely on sound warnings to evade in advance. If we’re really unlucky and run straight into trouble, there’s nothing we can do," An Ruoxue said with a smile.

"Do our best and leave the rest to fate!" Su Ming replied. Then he discarded all other thoughts and focused on controlling the mecha to escape.

However, as Su Ming kept dodging, the situation did not improve but became even worse.

The sounds of battle, explosions, and the monsters’ roars were getting closer.

Su Ming could only keep changing direction, but he was like a frightened lamb, relentlessly chased by a hunter, on the brink of doom.

Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue also realized the situation was getting worse. They watched Su Ming in silence, trying their best not to disturb him.

Just as Su Ming seemed trapped with no escape, as he passed a crossroad, he noticed a low door at the end of the left side.

He immediately stopped the mecha and then opened the cockpit and said to Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue.

"Get out of the mecha, we’re taking the manual passage area!"

"Okay!"

Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue jumped out of the mecha cockpit without any hesitation.

"Let’s go!"

Su Ming then jumped down, leading the two towards the small door on foot.

They quickly passed the low door at the front, suddenly arriving at the dormitory area. Looking down the corridor, both sides were lined with rooms of identical layouts.

"We’ll randomly pick a room to hide in; our chances of survival will be higher this way!"

Su Ming led the two along the corridor and inside.

Five minutes later, as Su Ming passed an open room doorway, he stopped and said to Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue.

"Let’s hide in here for a bit."

"Okay!"

Both agreed immediately and followed Su Ming into the room.

Su Ming then closed the door, and the three began to survey the room, only to discover it was a single, and on the table, various books were displayed.

It seemed that the original owner of this room must have had a decent status.

"It’s also pretty strange when you think about it."

Su Ming observed the room’s various displays as he chatted with the two.

"What’s strange?" Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue asked curiously.

"We’ve been in this base for so long now, and we haven’t seen a single living person. Who are we even supposed to save?" Su Ming walked over to the desk and naturally pulled out a book to flip through it, finding it was full of dense text.

"I’m not sure about that, but for some reason, this time the League’s mission feels odd."

Lin Chuyu shook her head; she was also clueless and without leads.

Su Ming didn’t say much else but prepared to stuff the book back into its place.

At that moment, he unexpectedly noticed a folded piece of paper stuffed in the crevice between the books and pulled it out.

Su Ming unfolded the paper, and as he saw the pattern on it, a look of surprise crossed his face.
