"This is..." The mecha instinctively felt something was amiss, "Did it step into a pit?" The next moment, he felt his body violently shake, as if the mecha crashed head-on into a gigantic iron block. Then, he felt his entire body lift off the ground, "Is this... a fire blast bomb?" This time, the fire blast bomb was incredibly loud. Even the convoy ten kilometers away felt the intense vibrations, and people on the vehicles couldn’t stand steady. "Whoa," everyone was truly shocked by the scene, "An ambush... How many blast charges were used for this?" Looking at the flames in the distance, someone noticed the details, "Energy Block blast charges... No, there are Energy Blocks in the blast charges!" Energy Blocks are relatively stable and not easy to ignite, but once ignited, their power is far greater than blast charges. "Such ruthless intentions, such grand measures," a voice gritted out from the radio, "Rush reinforcements!" "Reinforcements..." someone openly questioned over the radio, "What if the opponent has companions or an ambush?" "Are you going to let them steal the mecha?" the gritted voice continued, "I said pursue, disobedience means death!" The engines of several vehicles began to roar, gradually picking up speed. Qu Jianlei was only over seven hundred meters away from the blast point, and even though he took cover in time, he was still dazed by the shock. His physical fitness had greatly improved, otherwise, a year ago he might have been knocked unconscious by the blast. Even so, he recovered after half a minute, shook his head, and turned to sprint towards the mecha. His intention was correct; he took the risk to attack, aiming to completely destroy the mecha. Otherwise, as long as there is this mecha, it would be hard for him and Flower Scorpion to escape. Based on calculations, besides using a large amount of blast charges, he used a total of four Energy Blocks this time. But he couldn’t be certain of the extent of damage inflicted on the mecha. Upon running over to check, as expected, judging solely from the appearance, there was almost no obvious damage. The mecha was currently unresponsive, likely just the combatant had been knocked unconscious. Probably due to information blockage, there wasn’t much about mechas in mechanical books, but Qu Jianlei had piloted mechas before. Through fragmented introductions, he could envision that the Impact Type Mecha was heavy and highly defensive but the pilot experience wouldn’t be great. Therefore, the opponent being knocked unconscious was a high probability event, just as Qu Jianlei planned. After running over, he wasted no time, pulled out a tube of ointment, and first applied it at the machine cannon’s mount before lighting it. This is an industrial ointment used for repairs, generating four thousand degrees of heat when burned, for emergency cutting in the field. This ointment is difficult to destroy the mecha, requiring more time. But to cut the mounts of the weapons, it was quite easy. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fıre·net Then he applied and ignited ointment on the mounts of the machine gun, sniper rifle, long blade, and heavy axe alike. Finally, he squeezed all the remaining ointment onto the emergency exit hatch of the cockpit and ignited it again. The emergency exit hatch wasn’t large, with a diameter of less than half a meter, serving as the combatant’s temporary escape route when the mecha encounters unexpected events. This hatch was very thick, but since there was an opening requirement, there were sealing strips between each component. The ointment didn’t burn through the hatch immediately but burned through the sealing strips, and within a few seconds, the flames penetrated into the cockpit. Vaguely, Qu Jianlei seemed to hear the wailing of despair. But he didn’t bother to pay attention, directly removing the other five weapons. According to his plan, if the ointment didn’t work, he planned to use the removed machine cannon to fiercely attack the mecha’s weak points. But since the ointment had already burned into the cockpit, he wasn’t going to make extra efforts. Looking at the main cannon and spiral drill that hadn’t been dismantled yet, he sighed in frustration—there wasn’t enough time. The Impact Type Mecha itself was a comprehensive firepower platform, but alas, the time available was too little. However, at that moment, headlights lit up behind him, sending signals through light variations—"I’m here"! Qu Jianlei shook his head in a mix of amusement and helplessness, "This guy... really isn’t afraid of death, but it’s quite timely." He initially instructed Flower Scorpion to wait for him five kilometers away. If he could incapacitate the mecha, his running speed far outpaced off-road vehicles, allowing him to stealthily slip away. However, the place where Flower Scorpion flashed the lights was less than three kilometers from him. She must have quietly moved the vehicles two kilometers closer while he was in combat, for easier cooperation. He pulled out the radio to call, "Drive over quickly, there’s a gain!" Chapter 102: Counterattack (Second update for Silver Brother Black Heaven 2/5) To be honest, in Qu Jianlei’s combat plan, taking away the machine cannon wasn’t considered. As long as the mecha could be destroyed and the combatant killed, the combat goal would be achieved. The mecha appeared to be damaged, not showing any significant external damage, but already unsuitable for long pursuit. Both combat objectives were reached, yet dismantling so many heavy weapons made it hard to leave them behind. Since Flower Scorpion was coming to support, it made sense to adjust the combat plan. Hearing this, Flower Scorpion sped all the way to him without hesitation. And Qu Jianlei took out another tube of industrial ointment, continuing to squeeze it into the cockpit hatch’s seams, then ignited it. He wasn’t worried that the combatant had survived, nor did he intend to destroy the corpse; he aimed to thoroughly cripple the mecha.
