Qu Jianlei tried to get as close as possible to the convoy until the warning came, aiming for precision shooting.
During the previous night raid, he didn't have the ability to precisely kill enemy personnel, but this time he did.
Of course, this was because he obtained a Laser Sniper Rifle, as regular rifles often couldn't penetrate defenses.
With his well-prepared setup, he managed to suppress all enemy personnel with this one rifle.
"Illumination flares, launch the illumination flares," someone shouted wildly—so what if you can destroy the searchlight? We have illumination flares!
In the next moment, a dozen illumination flares lifted into the sky, making Qu Jianlei slightly overwhelmed.
But he didn't mind, throwing another incendiary bullet, making it two, which expanded the interference range for night vision devices.
If someone could shoot him with the naked eye or a gunsight, he would accept it; otherwise, the illumination flares wouldn't mean much.
In a swift lateral movement, he raised his hand, aiming to blow up another car's gas tank, but unfortunately failed.
Under the light of the illumination flares, his figure was spotted, and two more machine guns thundered to life.
This time the shooting accuracy improved, but the goal remained suppressive fire.
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but be amazed at how fearless the Wasteland survivors were!
He quickly fired two shots, taking down two more machine gun shooters, forcing the others into hiding again.
"That idiot's marksmanship has improved!" someone cursed loudly, "or the analysis was wrong!"
"Where's the Mecha... What about the Mecha? Hurry and charge, the other side is too arrogant!"
Qu Jianlei guessed correctly; this pursuit team indeed brought a Mecha, and Zone Zhou Character wasn't strict with Mecha control.
Although the convoy only brought one, it was an Impact Type combat Mecha, not only fierce in firepower but also heavily armored and fast.
In combat, it could easily overpower Qu Jianlei's transport Mecha, handling three at once with ease.
If Qu Jianlei were to hide in some fort, this guy could charge straight in, not fearing even an Electromagnetic Cannon, charging with all its might.
Such a high-performance Mecha was enough even if there was only one.
With advantages come disadvantages; the Mecha's speed, defense, and output were all decent, but it consumed way too many Energy Blocks.
However, despite poor endurance, it could assure a two to three hundred-kilometer range.
Yet, because of this, the Mecha wouldn't move with the convoy, instead placed on the freight truck.
In fact, even with lenient control in Zone Zhou Character, generally, no one would flaunt a Mecha for travel.
Now the problem was the freight truck caught fire; though the fire wasn't substantial, getting to the driver's seat was challenging.
However, the armored vehicle still started, rotating its cannon to target Qu Jianlei, "Should we fire?"
"Fire!" a furious voice came from the hand-held radio, "If he wants to die, let him have it!"
Originally, the plan was to capture Qu Jianlei alive, but the situation escalated, and everyone's Fire Qi couldn't be contained.
However, before the cannon could align, a flash of light appeared, and a third incendiary bullet was thrown out.
This affected the gunner's aim once more, "High-Explosive Bomb, switch to High-Explosive Bomb!"
The High-Explosive Bomb was finally launched, covering a sizable area.
Fortunately, it wasn't particularly accurate, and Qu Jianlei ducked just in time, ending up slightly ashen-faced.
After one shot, the fire on the freight truck was almost out when a Mecha stood up from it.
The heavy Mecha jumped lightly to the ground, causing a slight tremor, "Here I am, dead or alive?"
"Try to capture him alive," the voice from the radio softened a bit, "but if it's not possible, dead works too, just don't let him escape!"
The Mecha began striding towards Qu Jianlei.
Without a word, Qu Jianlei turned and ran, internally grumbling about the Mecha's astonishing speed.
He had recently read many books on machinery, recognizing this as an Impact Type Mecha, capable of reaching a speed of 120 kilometers per hour in the short term.
However, in the wild wasteland at night, reaching 80 kilometers per hour would be remarkable.
If he was operating that transport Mecha now, he'd be caught within minutes.
With increased physical fitness, Qu Jianlei's running speed could now reach 80 kilometers per hour.
But he could only maintain it for at most half an hour.
Still, by pushing himself to sprint short-term, he could almost reach 100 kilometers per hour.
With the Mecha chasing him, he couldn't run too fast; otherwise, they might start shooting and bombing.
He also had to run in a zigzag pattern to avoid possible gunfire, gradually allowing the Mecha to close the distance.
In the blink of an eye, the Mecha and Qu Jianlei ran out of the convoy's sight, and the convoy knew they couldn't catch up.
So, another voice came through the radio, "How's it going, can you catch him?"
"No problem," the Mecha responded confidently, "within reach... but this guy sure runs fast."
A light snort came from the radio, "Heh, how long can he keep it up?"
After seven or eight minutes, Qu Jianlei's speed noticeably slowed down, and he occasionally glanced back.
The Mecha was less than 800 meters away, a voice came through the loudspeaker, "Kid, stop and surrender, and I'll spare your life."
"Heh," Qu Jianlei scoffed, pressing a button on a small box in his hand and thrusting himself forward suddenly.
