The difficulty of destroying it from the outside is too high, but destroying the control core of the cockpit is relatively easier. Time is pressing, so let’s save time wherever we can. Check latest chapters at N0velFire.ɴet As for taking this mecha away? Sorry, he’s not crazy. This thing consumes energy blocks like mad! Moreover, the mecha must have some hidden issues and needs a thorough overhaul to be used normally. You can’t just put it on a truck to take it away; it simply won’t fit. You’d need a heavy-duty truck. Just as Flower Scorpion arrived, headlights became faintly visible ahead—it was evident the convoy had come in pursuit. Qu Jianlei swiftly mounted the machine cannon onto the truck; all the mountings had ready interfaces. Flower Scorpion, with sharp eyes, seeing him mount the machine cannon, promptly went to fetch the ammunition. The cannon shells were very heavy, and each time she could only carry one magazine, which was seven rounds. She had only fetched three magazines, and the headlights were already quite bright, their location clearly discernable. At this point, Qu Jianlei had finished mounting the cannon, and raised his hand for a test shot. Sure enough, there was a bit of deviation. The vehicle on the opposite side immediately felt it, braking sharply, "Damn... there’s a cannon?" An experienced hand already recognized it, "Oh no, that’s the mecha’s machine cannon!" They knew the mecha had been ambushed, but weren’t clear about the condition of its combatants. The one who fell unconscious during the fire had been completely burned through, without even a chance to issue a warning. Suddenly realizing the opponent had mastered the machine cannon, everyone instantly thought of the next question: How was the machine cannon fired? Holding it in hand is impossible, and placing it on the ground too, it must be fixed on a launch platform. The opponent might have mounted the machine cannon on the truck, but could they have accomplished this in such a short time? Not everyone can immediately think of industrial burning cutting plaster, unless they’re a mechanic traveling with the convoy. Almost instantly, someone thought of another issue, "This guy controlled the mecha?" That possibility threw everyone into a panic. Everyone in this pursuit team knew, Sha Qu had previously piloted a mecha, and did so quite skillfully. "Turn off the lights!" someone shouted into the handset. But it was too late, as the machine cannon on the opposite side fired three consecutive shots, directly blasting the first vehicle into a fiery inferno. The voice that had wanted to reprimand was silenced. The second vehicle did manage to switch off the lights, but Qu Jianlei had already calculated the lead, firing another three shots. Another vehicle burst into flames, while the others turned off their lights and fled, no one mentioning pursuit anymore. Someone did shout into the handset, "Armored vehicle?" An armored vehicle can’t withstand a machine cannon, but as long as it’s not hit critically, it can still hold out for a while. "The armored vehicle is leaking oil!" someone loudly replied, "Damn it, who said the modified tank could hold up?" "But at least we can return to camp for defense!" another shouted, "Running now is the real deal." From here to camp, it was only about four or five kilometers; if they ran fast, they still had a chance—even without headlights. At this point, no one mentioned any pursuit topic anymore. "They ran?" Flower Scorpion, gasping, fetched another magazine, hearing the engine sounds fading away. "You’re really in poor shape physically," Qu Jianlei jumped off the truck bed, "You stand watch, I’ll carry things." He not only carried back shells but also machine guns, sniper rifles, a long blade, and heavy axes. And this machine gun wasn’t ordinary; it was a nine-barrel rotary machine gun, twice the caliber of a vehicle-mounted one, with an astonishing firing rate... Of course, it’s also a big consumer of ammunition, needless to say. Carring back whatever he could, Qu Jianlei then went to dismantle the main cannon—not mounted but riveted. Dismantling this took effort, but he believed it necessary; he never had such heavy firepower before. When Qu Jianlei came out of the Endless Mountain Range, he hid the electromagnetic cannon and transport mecha in the same cave. No choice, that thing was just too heavy, and he and Flower Scorpion had too much to carry—really couldn’t manage it. Since then, he had no strong firepower on hand, the strongest being the stolen laser sniper rifle. This time he captured a machine cannon, but in fact, the machine cannon’s power was slightly less than his electromagnetic cannon. Only the machine cannon could fire continuously, something the electromagnetic cannon couldn’t match. The main cannon embedded in the mecha had considerably more power than the electromagnetic cannon. His light truck couldn’t possibly be its platform, unless... modified. Anyway, since there’s time, he had to dismantle this main cannon—those insecure need artillery for comfort. Dismantling this main cannon took him twenty minutes, with a very rough method; otherwise, it’d have been more than two hours. While dismantling, Flower Scorpion also took down the spiral drill bit, and loaded it onto the truck. She didn’t forget to joyfully comment, "This is real mecha, just look at how many weapons and tools are mounted..." "Our transport mecha pales in comparison to this." "Back then, even having a mecha was good enough," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "I bought the electromagnetic cannon separately." "Unfortunately, there’s still too little ammunition," Flower Scorpion expressed regretfully, "Only eight rounds of main cannon shells, not even a basic load."
