Chapter 153 Loyalty
“Stop talking. Everyone, attack!” Mu Yuqinxin’s orders came from the speaker.
At the same time, Tie Zha rushed within 200 meters of the red cursor. Red dust billowed in front of him. A “escort” mecha was covered in white smoke as it tried its best to run forward. The Thunderous Beast behind it chased after it reluctantly as it let out a muffled thunderous roar while shaking its huge twin sickles.
Seeing that the Thunderous Beast was about to catch up to its target, Tie Zha immediately bounced off the lid on the remote control lever.
[Armoured depleted uranium missile ready to launch missile targeting mode]
With the sound of the prompt, two halos appeared on the main screen, one basket and one red halo. The iron slag pulled the back rocker, slowing down the speed of the mecha’s advance. When the two laps merged into one, they firmly locked onto the thunderous beast that was running. Iron Slag’s gaze condensed as he forcefully pressed down the firing button!
The missile on the Wild Wolf’s shoulder responded with a hint of orange light, dragging a long cloud of white smoke as it smashed into the Thunderous Beast’s side like a meteor.
“Boom!” With a muffled sound, the missile hit its target, causing its huge body to tilt sideways. However, in less than a second, the Thunderous Beast recovered. Apart from the pitch-black side and a little green slurry sprayed out, it did not seem to have suffered any serious injuries.
“Blood Wolf, thank you.” The mecha pilot hurriedly thanked him. Just now, his entire body had turned red, and his engine was about to explode.
Before he could finish speaking, the Thunderous Beast changed directions and rushed towards Tie Zha. The latter holds the gun firing key tightly while pulling the rocker. The Wild Wolf mecha retreated as it opened fire on the Thunderous Beast.
“Da da da da da da da da da …” Dense bullets poured out, sparks splashing everywhere on the Thunderous Beast’s body, as if it could not even slow down its movement. Seeing the Thunderous Beast charge fifty meters away, Tie Zha pulled the rocker and spun around. The Wild Wolf mecha stopped firing and turned the fuselage, running towards the assembly point at full speed.
“Blood Wolf, what are you doing? Don’t bring it over!” The CSUM beast shouted as it watched the Wild Wolf mecha run back with billowing smoke and dust. He shouted as he ran sideways.
Seeing this, Tie Zha revealed a smile. He gave up the gathering point and rushed towards the CSUM Beast’s Tiger-type mecha.
“Don’t come over!” The CSUM beast roared as it retreated, but Tie Zha still brought the Thunderous Beast towards him. A ferocious look flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly opened the lid on the rocker, revealing the dark red rocket launching button. When the red and blue circles merged into one, he gritted his teeth and roared in a voice that he could only hear, “Die!”
Right at this moment, Tie Zha noticed a flash of red light in front of him and immediately pulled on the rocker to slap the emergency button. The Wild Wolf mecha suddenly sank, and orange-red flames shot out. In an instant, the mecha soared into the sky. Immediately after, an explosive rocket brushed past from below and rushed straight towards the Thunderous Beast’s face.
“Boom!” With a loud explosion, the Wolf-type mecha was thrown into the air, while the Thunderous Beast on the ground was blown back a few steps.
“Battle Beast!” “What’s going on?” “He opened fire on his teammates.” “No way, it looks like it’s a Thunderous Beast” A chaotic discussion sounded from the speaker.
At this moment, the screen was shaking and the mecha was out of control. Tie Zha slowly pulled on the rocker and slowly regained the balance of the mech. This CSUM beast deliberately opened fire on him. Even in the simulated world, he couldn’t let him go.
Seeing that the heavy mecha was about to crash into the ground, Tie Zha suddenly pulled the rocker and slapped the emergency button. The wolf-like upper body turned, its back facing the ground, and then it spat out high-pressure gas, forming a buffer.
“Clang!” With a loud sound, the Wild Wolf mecha landed heavily on the semi-desertified ground. Tie Zha quickly pulled on the rocker and manipulated the mecha to get up. Looking sideways, the damage to the mecha reached 21%, and the left arm had failed.
“Support, request backup.” As soon as he regained his senses, the cries of the CSUM beast came from the communicator. In the blink of an eye, the Thunderous Beast chased after the Tiger Mech. At this time, everyone tacitly chose to assemble.
CSUM Beast: “F*ck, he’s going to catch up. Hurry up and help!”
“Stall him first.” “Big brother, it’s up to you.” “Come on.” “Battle beasts, come on.”
A moment later, with the howl of the CSUM beast, a blue cursor on the radar disappeared. At this moment, everyone had gathered together, forming a fan-shaped formation in the direction of the Thunderous Beast.
Not long after, the Thunderous Beast appeared five hundred meters away, bringing with it the surging mortal world.
“Lock on to the target.” Mu Yuqin shouted in a deep voice.
“Captain Brooke, depleted uranium armor piercing missiles are ready.” “Yin Wen, the Burning Missile is ready.” “Snowmelt, depleted uranium armor piercing missiles are ready.” “Bai Xiaoyun, the Vulcan Cannon is ready.” Teammates echoed through the loudspeaker one after another.
Mu Yuqinxin commanded, “The first round of simultaneous firing …” “Let go!”
In an instant, seventeen missiles were fired simultaneously, dragging long tail flames towards the Thunderous Beast. “Ah …” “Ah …” “Ah …” “Ah …” “Ah …” “Ah …” “Ah …” “Ah …”
A white light flashed in the distance, and a deafening explosion and the roar of the Thunderous Beast could be heard. A few seconds later, the black-robed Thunderous Beast shook its head and continued charging towards the mecha position.
After the Thunderous Beast rushed three hundred meters away, Mu Yuqinxin gave another order, “Prepare the explosive rocket … the second round of combined firing … release!”
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” Along with the continuous explosions, the Thunderous Beast rushed a hundred meters away and finally collapsed, splashing miserably green slurry all over the ground.

After reading the mission reward, Mu Yuqin connected to her voice and said with a smile, “How bad, how sinister.”
Tie Zha grinned and said that the other party was courting death, so he couldn’t be blamed. After that, the two of them chatted a few more times. Mu Yuqin said that she was going to sleep, so she told Tie Zha to rest early. After that, she went offline. Tie Zha said to Bai Xiaoyun and then went offline.
After getting out of the simulation cabin, Tie Zha twisted his neck and waited for Bai Xiaoyun to drill out before returning to the lounge to discuss the formation of a team.
It was already twelve o’clock in the evening, and there were very few people in the lounge. Tie Zha ordered a pot of black tea, a cup of mousse milk tea and a large chunk of charred beef, and discussed the details while eating.
The first was the goal of the guild. When they were discussing, Mu Yuqinxin suggested that Tie Zha set up a guild and head directly to the central continent to do “scouting and cleaning missions” at the academy alliance stronghold on the edge of the dark jungle. Among them, “scouting missions” and academies are networked, while “cleaning missions” can only be obtained locally, because such missions are generally handled immediately and cannot be delayed, so the return on credits is relatively high.
The Dark Jungle was located in the south of the central continent. It had been occupied by “bee insects” for a long time. Only when the Temple dispatched the “Dawn Expeditionary Force” and the forces of the central continent to form an alliance did they sweep through the Dark Jungle and clear most of the “bee nest”. But swarms of bee ants are so viable that they bury their eggs deep in the soil of the jungle that the coalition cannot completely remove them. For the sake of the ecological environment, the central continent could not burn down the entire dark jungle. As a result, the central continent formed a “Dark Jungle Joint Guard.” They set up strongholds around the Dark Jungle and went in every once in a while to scout. When they discovered a mature “bee ant nest,” they would immediately destroy it.
Afterwards, the Academy Alliance reached an agreement with the Dark Jungle Joint Guard to provide training opportunities for the students. They were responsible for defending and scouting one of the strongholds. The garrison also allocated part of its budget and military supplies to the Academy Alliance to maintain the operation of the base.
Tie Zha felt that Muyu Qinxin’s suggestion was not bad. This way, she could avoid the sight of most people and concentrate on hiding in the strongholds of the central continent. Currently, the three giants of the Student Union were the ones he wanted to avoid, so this was the best outcome. So as not to be frightened all day long and live a truly aggrieved life.
Bai Xiaoyun agreed with Iron Slag’s suggestion. He said that this kind of development route was the best. There was no need to fly around and just squat in one place.
As for the personnel, Tie Zha basically didn’t know anyone here, so he asked Bai Xiaoyun what ideas he had. Bai Xiaoyun said that tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, he would first come to the Mission Hall to announce the recruitment information, and then rent a recruitment table in the lounge, so that he could wait for someone to come to his door.
Tie Zha frowned and said that this was not good. People recruited in this way did not know their character or character. Once they encountered danger, they would reveal their true nature and would be completely unreliable.
Bai Xiaoyun said he had considered the issue, but it was impossible for everyone in a team to be as loyal as him (Tie Zha expressed doubt). With the current conditions, it would be good for the new team to find a few reliable people. He analyzed that when recruiting, he carefully observed everything from temperament to appearance, from education to everywhere, many details could reflect a person’s deep-seated qualities. They would arrive at the stronghold of the Academy Alliance. After a few missions, they would be able to understand their deep-seated qualities. At that time, they would be screened.
In addition, he suggested that Tie Zha ask Elder Ebony for a few people, preferably from the War Bear Temple, because the selection of students there was very strict and generally reliable.
“Yes.” Tie Zha pretended to nod his head and said, “We, Zhan Xiong, are really good people.”
“You’re brilliant” Bai Xiaoyun approached him and said in a low voice. Tie Zha narrowed his eyes, and a cold killing intent immediately spread out.
“Brother Tie, relax. Elder Ebony sent me here to follow you for the rest of your life. Do you understand?” Bai Xiaoyun whispered.
“Tell me.” Iron Slag said in a deep voice.
“When Elder Ebony sent me here, he told me who you are. He asked me to follow you and join the Glorious Bloodline in this lifetime. My parents and brothers will be taken care of by the Ancient Bloodline until the end of their lives.”
“So, please don’t worry about my loyalty. I will use my life to exchange for their happiness.”
“At the same time, please remember that my faith is a temple, whether it is ancient or glorious.”
