Chapter 139 Silkworm
‘”Thank you” Tie Zha was silent for a moment before saying.

‘”What are you thanking me for? It’s not like I’m talking about you.” Qin Xin said unhappily, her lazy voice carrying a trace of a delicate and unrestrained beauty.

“Yes.” “Don’t tell anyone.” “Yes.”

At this moment, Sergeant Fukuda’s voice came from the communicator, “Assistant Qin, I’m coming up.”

“Yes.” Jian Dan Qin Xin answered casually. Iron slag immediately rolled her eyes.

“Assistant Qin, please take care of me in the future.” Sergeant Fukuda said respectfully and seriously. However, what awaited him was still the faint reply, “Yes.”

Not long after, the notification sounded again, [The swarm will arrive in three minutes, please be prepared for defense]

The iron slag in the simulation cabin twisted its neck and stretched its fingers. Then, it held the rocker with both hands and concentrated on the main screen.

About ten seconds later, the red dust on the distant horizon came to a halt, and sharp cries of insects came from far to near. Soon after, flocks of singing flies appeared on the horizon. They were crowded together like a flood.

“Prepare to shoot.” As Jian Dan Qin Xin gave the order, the mecha faced the swarm of insects and waited in formation. One Fire God Cannon slowly rotated.

The swarm of weeping flies in front of them was like a giant python, winding through the scarlet hard ground. Behind the swarm of weeping flies were rows of slowly advancing thorns. On the farthest horizon, a giant silkworm appeared. The silkworm was at least ten meters tall, and its body was extremely large. The carapace on the insect’s body was black and shiny with oil. As it moved, the carapace shrank back and forth, slowly advancing forward.

In the blink of an eye, the swarm of weeping flies rushed fifty meters away from the stronghold. Jiandan Qinxin shouted, “Kill!” Suddenly, he pulled the rocker and pressed down to shoot Qianqian!

‘”Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da …”

In an instant, gunshots rang out one after another. Multiple divine fire cannons fiercely spat out tongues of flames, and dense bullets poured out, shooting into the group of weeping flies like raindrops. The weeping flies in the front row were beaten into pieces and cracked apart, screaming endlessly.

Suddenly, a sharp howl sounded from behind him. Looking sideways, a streak of white smoke streaked towards the swarm of insects from behind him.

“Boom!” An explosive rocket exploded between the dense weeping flies. Instantly, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and countless limbs were blasted into the air.

“Don’t waste the rockets. Leave them all to deal with the thorns.” Jian Dan Qin Xin ordered loudly.

“Assistant Qin, I…” “Don’t explain. Focus on the battle.” “Yes, sir.”

In less than 30 seconds, the swarm of weeping flies rushed to the bottom of the stronghold under the dense firepower and desperately smashed into it, biting down on the stronghold’s entrance. Tie Zha adjusted the muzzle of his gun and shot fiercely at the weeping flies that were charging at the gate. However, there were simply too many of them. After killing one, they added another. Although the steel gate of the stronghold was very strong, it could not withstand the endless collision.

In the dark, Tie Zha felt that if this continued, he would definitely lose. The ammunition from the nine mecha didn’t just kill these weeping flies, let alone rows of sting insects. In his thoughts, Iron Slag’s gaze landed on the distant black silkworm.

In the midst of the battle, the swarm of weeping flies suddenly retreated and began to dig on the ground. In an instant, the dry scarlet ground was dusted into dust, unable to see clearly in front of them.

“Thorn worms are approaching. Prepare for rockets.” Jiandan Qinxin gave the order.

In his blurry vision, rows of sting insects stopped advancing and stood up on their own. Under the direct sunlight, the stinger’s head reflected a dazzling halo.

“Let go!” Along with his crisp voice, white smoke flew from all directions towards the thorn insects array.

At the same time, the big silkworm in the distance let out a deep and far-reaching cry. Immediately after, a sharp sound of air currents rang out from the stinger array. It was the sound of thorns absorbing the air. In less than a second, their abdomens began to bulge.

At this moment, dozens of rockets flew over, dragging billowing white smoke and an array of thorns.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

The continuous explosions caused the thorns to stagger. Light green mucus splashed everywhere, landing on the ground with a sizzling sound. At the same time, thick white smoke emitted.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tie Zha frowned even more tightly. The Thorn Bugs were scattered, and a single rocket could only kill a limited number of targets. However, there was nothing that could be done. The Thorn Bug stood 500 meters away, and the Fiery God Cannon did not have such a long range.

After the explosion, the thorn insect once again stood on its own and frantically absorbed the air. When the abdomen was filled with high-pressure gas, a long bone spike extended from the mouth. With a burst of eruption, bone spikes shot into the sky.

“Whoosh …” “Whoosh …” “Whoosh …” “Whoosh …” “Whoosh …” Thousands of long bone spikes pierced through the air, carrying the power of wind and lightning as they flew towards the stronghold.

Suddenly, the sky darkened. The iron slag keenly sensed the change and shouted, “Hurry up and dodge!” Then, he swung the pole and jumped off the wall.

“I’ve been shot. Request backup.” “The ammunition compartment is seriously damaged.” “What is it? It can corrode steel.” “My fuel tank has been pierced!” “Quiet, all of you!”

“Boom!” The loudspeakers were filled with noise. Along with the sound of explosions, one of the eight teammates in the upper right corner disappeared. If this continued, it definitely wouldn’t work. This Sword Gallbladder Zither Heart’s command ability was limited, so he hadn’t completed the mission twice. In his thoughts, Tie Zha manipulated the mecha to jump onto the city wall and look at the big silkworm in the distance again.

“Capture the thief and capture the king first.” Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and shouted at the microphone, “Cover me.” With that, he shook his pole and jumped down from the city wall.

“What is he doing?” “He jumped down!” A teammate’s voice came from the speaker.

“Quickly come back!” Jian Dan Qin Xin ordered loudly.

“I said, cover me!” Tie Zha roared back, shooting as he rushed towards the swarm of weeping flies in front of the stronghold. The weeping flies let out neat screams and rushed towards the Wolf-type mecha. In the blink of an eye, the iron slag crashed into the swarm of weeping flies. The two divine cannons fired at close range, turning the nearby weeping flies into meat sauce.

“Gather around and cover him! Hurry!” Jian Dan Qin Xin came back to her senses and ordered loudly.

Tie Zha pushed the rocker forward and quickly broke through the swarm of weeping flies and ran towards the big silkworm in the distance. At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and countless sharp thorns fell like raindrops. The iron slag pushed the rocker hard and rushed forward desperately.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh

“Blood Wolf, come on, we’re behind you.” A clear voice came from the loudspeaker, and Tie Zha rushed straight at him sullenly. In the corner of his eyes, the fuel gauge was rapidly dropping, and the thermometer in the water tank was also rapidly rising.

[Warning, engine cooling system overheating]

[Warning, the barrel of the Vulcan is overheated and may cause ammunition to explode]

Tie Zha raised his left hand and pulled on the pull tab. There was a “chi” sound from outside. The two divine fire cannons separated their bodies, and the ammunition compartment at their waist fell to the ground. The mech’s body lightened and its speed increased.

[Warning, engine cooling system overheating, temperature 213 ° C … 215 ° C … condensate pressure too high, warning, condensate pressure too high …]

Amidst the hurried alarm, Tie Zha rushed within 800 meters of the big silkworm. He knocked open the lid on the rocker, revealing the red button inside.

[Armoured depleted uranium missile ready to launch missile targeting mode]

As soon as he finished speaking, a basket of red halos appeared on the main screen. Blue represented the scanning light of the sensor, and red represented the flight direction of the missile.

As Tie Zha sprinted, he slowly aimed at the rocker. However, he shook it several times in a row and failed to lock onto the big silkworm. The terrain here was too low, and he was running so fast that the sensors could not lock onto the target.

Thinking of this, Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and suddenly slapped the emergency button on the armrest. As they sprinted, the Wolf-type mecha sank down, and light blue flames sprayed out from behind. As soon as the iron slag lifted the rocker, the mecha soared into the sky and flew tens of meters into the air.

The blue halo finally locked onto the target, and the red halo slowly translated. At the instant the two halos merged, Tie Zha forcefully pressed the Launch button!

Amidst the long eruption, the depleted uranium armor piercing missile on the shoulder of the Wild Wolf mecha responded and flew towards the big silkworm. At the same time, the sky suddenly darkened and countless spikes flew over.

The iron slag in mid-air was unable to dodge and swung the rod forcefully, wanting to use the back of the mecha to block the attack. Right at this moment, there was a crisp cracking sound. He exerted too much strength for a moment and actually broke the rocker!

[Beep … equipment damaged, please go offline immediately … beep … equipment damaged, please go offline immediately … beep …]

When the alarm sounded, the entire cockpit dimmed down. All the lights went out at the same time, and the cabin door slowly opened.

The staff ran over and Tie Zha grinned embarrassedly, saying that he was too excited just now. The staff checked the damage and said that the slag had to pay three gold coins for repairs. Iron slag scratched his hair, took out a magnetic card and swiped it on the staff member’s card reader, paying a fine.

By the time Tie Zha entered another simulation module and logged in again, the mission had been completed.

[Driver, you have completed the guild mission [Swarm Attack]. You have received 100,000 tunas of mission reward and 3,000 exp of mission experience.]

[Battle Experience Statistics: Destroy the mission’s core target ‘Hegemon of the Abyss’, Increases experience by 20,000]

[Experience Statistics: Battle 20000exp, Mission 3000exp, Remaining Experience 3500exp, Total 26500exp]

[Auto Deduct 12000 exp, your rank has been upgraded to Lieutenant] [Remaining Experience Points 14500 exp]

[You still need 500 exp to get to the next level] [You already have permission to apply for the Mech (Intermediate) exam]

[Mission rewards posted, current account balance is T102550]

After looking at the reward, Tie Zha looked at the time. It was already past six in the morning, and it was time to go back to the dormitory to rest. However, just as he was about to go offline, a notification sounded in his ear.

[Driver, Heart of Sword Gallbladder requests a call connection. Do you accept? ]
