Chapter 788: Diving Deep Alone

Translator: Abyssruler  Editor: Lucas

Rio was dumbfounded. He had seen it with his own eyes that the 20-year-old or so young man had pried open the operating cabin by force. The next instant, a hand extended over.

Instinctively, Rio grabbed the dagger from his boots had lunged ahead. This was entirely the instinctive reaction of a scout.

However, the dagger was grabbed. The next moment, Rio could only feel something cold on his face as his mouth was stuffed with something.

It was his ears…

Just when he wanted to scream, Wang Zheng’s punch had lunged towards him.

They were pirates!

Wang Zheng could already feel the danger. “Now I will ask you one thing and you will answer me with a sentence. If you are say the wrong thing, I will cut off a body part!”

Rio couldn’t talk from the pain and could only nod his head subconsciously. What kind of d*mned monster he was. He was even more ruthless than the pirates.

What’s your name?”

“Rio, DK Pirate Crew, Blood Thirst Column, eighth section, scout.”

Without Wang Zheng asking, Rio had already said a throng of things. The rule of the pirates was strict but one couldn’t count on a pirate to be loyal. They were originally living on the edge of the knife and were doing so just to survive.

Wang Zheng nodded. The dagger was swinging dazzling in his hands and would graze the face of Rio from time to time.

After approximately 10 minutes, Wang Zheng had understood the situation. The Tank City had been destroyed and in flames and their current target was the Ice Spear City. Wang Zheng was also able to heave a sigh of relief when he knew that Snow Li and the rest were fine.

This Rio could definitely not be spared. Wang Zheng operated the MK III. The door to the operating cabin was already destroyed. However, it was still better than running on bare feet.

“Rio, you damned brat, it’s about time for us to go back.”

“Aiya, I was peeing and almost had my bird frozen. I will be right back.” said Wang Zheng as he lowered his voice.

“Only you would do this. Alright, the team has advanced and they are pushing ahead according to plan!

Ice Spear City…

Within the Blood Thirst Column, other than an Earth Grade captain, there were several Xuan Grade individuals as well. This was also why they could run amok. This team was strong. If Snow Li and the rest wanted to depend on their abilities in a head on fight, they would likely be at a disadvantage.

As he operated the MK III, Wang Zheng was also thinking of solution. If he had a runic mech with him, he could still make use of the ice field to start guerrilla warfare. However with just this damaged MK, he would die even if he tried.

Wang Zheng was truly having a headache. He couldn’t fight nor leave. No matter if Snow Li and the rest chose to defend tenaciously or attempted to attack, the results wouldn’t be great. The key was although that pirate mentioned about it vaguely, it seemed that there were someone from the Hail Cloud Alliance who provided them with the means to do so. Otherwise, how could such a large pirate crew infiltrate and remained hidden for such a long time?

Wang Zheng couldn’t care about these. He was thinking about how to deal with the pirates and control them.

Ma Xiao was the official section leader of the eighth section. He suddenly realised that the scout from his section did not advance according to the predetermined route. Which d*mned kid dared to be skiving off at this moment?

… Rio? Ma Xiao’s faced had changed. When the other party spoke just now, he wasn’t paying much attention. Recalling about it now, the voice wasn’t right!

“Rio, where the hell are you heading to. Quickly come back!” roared Ma Xiao angrily.

Wang Zheng turned the channel to silent. If was pointless to say more. He only hoped that he could attract the attention of some pirates.

Ma Xiao’s face had turned black. There were many rules in the Blood Thirst Column. No matter where the fault occurred, the section leader would be responsible. Light punishment might be caning while heavy punishment might mean death for him. He didn’t dare to hide the truth and not report it.

He soon received an order. The eighth section would be moving off.

Ma Xiao growled loudly as a small section headed towards MK III in pursue. The orders were simple. Eliminate the target or he would be dead.

Blood Thirst Column continued their advance to the Ice Spear City. Ma Xiao’s section immediately moved ahead with full speed. Every member of the pirate crew knew that if they couldn’t capture this target, no one would have a good outcome. If they had returned with nothing, their girls might become others’ girls and their treasures might become others. This would be even worse than killing them. These pirates hated their target to the core. All the mech warriors were pursuing with their might. It was great that that brat wasn’t running fast.

In just a short while, the MK III appeared in their vision. From just one look, they could tell that the mech had suffered heavy damage. The door to the operating cabin even looked like it might drop off anytime. With such a damaged mech, where could he run to?

“Capture that guy for me. He might be someone from the Elite Academy X and would be worth a lot!”

If it was a complete mech, Ma Xiao wouldn’t dare to be careless. However, if it was a damaged mech, this was just like giving him money. The superiors had said that these kids were worth a lot of money and as much as possible, capture them alive. It might be difficult if it was a one-on-one but if they attacked together like a pack of wolves, it would still be easy. They had not expected to be the first to benefit from it.

When the other pirates heard about it, they were also exhilarated. If there were a lot of people, the rewards would be miniscule. They had not expected to have such a great opportunity. If the person was a beautiful babe, they would be rich. If the column captain was happy, he might even reward them.

Wang Zheng had not used this model of MK previously. However looking at the pirates surrounding him, Wang Zheng could feel that his entire body was burning.

He turned around quietly. The surrounding pirates were stunned. Had this kid gone crazy? Initially, they were still afraid that he would run. They had not expected him to have gone crazy.

The pirates unsheathed their titanium and beam sabers after another. Wang Zheng’s MK also took out his beam saber. Looking at this group of pirates, a smile gradually formed on the edge of his smile.

Kill!

The pirate at the forefront of the crowd revealed large golden teeth. Punishment and rewards were clear in the Blood Thirst Column. Pirates laid out their lives just for the money. Therefore whoever contributed more would receive rewards and advance quicker. The first shot was for him to fire!

Foosh…

MK slide past just like the wind. Similar to the thousands years cold wind in Aisbotan, the teeth of the pirate were frozen. The mech staggered and stopped moving and the pirate inside had been frozen to death directly.

Wang Zheng’s strike was quick, accurate and ruthless. A section of pirates were settled by Wang Zheng in less than 10 minutes. Among them, 2 had even tried to escape and caused Wang Zheng to waste some time.

The battlefield wasn’t a place to act cool. Wang Zheng wasn’t the least bit wasteful and ended the match in the fastest way. Pirates of these standards could not stop his current level of ability. Wang Zheng didn’t give them the chance to even fight for their lives. He didn’t turn on his energy shield and his Ability X followed the slash of the beam saber and penetrated the mech directly to freeze the pirates to death. In Aisbotan, what could be more useful and in abundance in the environment than the Ice Ability X?

The chilling beam saber retracted to its original condition from over 5 metres long. Wang Zheng changed into a better mech that seemed to belong to some leader. This was a mech that was part of the Arbiter’s Conqueror series, Conqueror α. Its performance was clearly better than his MK III. The distribution of mecha among the pirates was also in such a way that those at a higher position would get a better mech. Among which, mecha from Arbiter and Aslan were the most popular. Even the pirates cared about appearance and status.

These pirates were too careless and didn’t knew about the killing star they were facing.

If it was a typical student from Elite Academy, he might have wanted to demonstrate some skills or even acted cool so as to allow the pirates to witness what was top notch. However for Wang Zheng, whenever he was in such a battle, he would transform into a real warrior.

He would not have any excess movements or thoughts. As this battle ended, Wang Zheng operated the Conqueror α and left the battlefield immediately. If a lion wanted to face a group of bulls, a head-on clash would also meant death. However the lion could attack and destroy one point at a time. This was because the group of cows were still just a group of cows.

Wang Zheng’s first choice now was to drag things out and buy some time for the Ice Spear City. At the same time, he was buying some time for the Hail Cloud Alliance. If the Hail Cloud Alliance’s response time was so slow that they were destroyed before it, they would really be beyond redemption.

The Conqueror α didn’t detached himself too far from the main army and maintained a certain distance. He didn’t believe that the head of the pirates would order the entire army to chase after him. Truthfully speaking, he wasn’t afraid at all. He had absolute confidence in his running and endurance.

If he could attract some masters, he would also be able to relieve some pressure on Snow Li and Ai Xiaolu.

Wang Zheng during war time was just like a lurking hidden poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity.

Bartley’s face turned black when he received the news. “What did you say? The eighth section was wiped out?”

To finish them in just a few minutes, how could he achieved it without at least be at the Earth Grade?

Aisbotan still had such a skilled master?

Bartley’s face revealed a ruthless smile. It was beyond his expectation that he would have such an encounter in this run down place. He had originally thought that there was no meaning in this battle and didn’t expect to have someone with good caliber here.

“Karen, you will take over the command of the army and proceed ahead according to plan.”

“Column captain, please think thrice. The opponent is only one person. Facing our army, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to a mantis trying to stop a chariot. He is only trying to buy some time. We have no need to care about him.” Karen immediately tried to stop Bartley.

“I just want to fall into his trap. Stop your nagging. Guards, follow me!”

As the column commander, Bartley led the guards and detached themselves from the main army. He had chosen to become a pirate because there were only two things he liked in his life and that was to kill and women. The only job that could satisfy him was being a pirate. Unfortunately, he was an Ability X user and he wasn’t weak at all. In the past, he had been roaming around alone. After being wanted by the Milky Way Alliance, life wasn’t great for him at all. After entering the DK Pirate Crew and he was placed in an important position, he finally found the occupation that suited him best.

Aslan’s Wargod mech was very comfortable. The extreme sadness of that little girl shown just before she died was still fresh in his mind and now that there was someone of approximately Earth Grade waiting for him. What could be better than this?

Killing those weak and helpless citizens was similar to cutting grass and couldn’t bring him any excitement. There must be some resistance so it would be more interesting. After being a pirate for so long, Bartley liked to bully the weak. His guards were all specially trained masters in team battles.

As for Ice Spear City, its battle strength was similar to Tank City. Although Karen was a little timid, it was enough to deal with a little lamb.

Looking at the red dot on the surveillance device, the movement of the opponent wasn’t fast. This kid really dared to wait for him! Bartley really wanted to rip open the chest of the other party and measure how heavy was his guts!

The hunt had begun.

Ice Spear City was dead quiet. All the households had shut their doors. They didn’t know how tragic the situation was at Tank City. However the more they didn’t know, the greater the fear they felt. What were pirates? They were definitely more terrifying than the ethnic races of this generation and more brutal than the Zerg.

Ice Spear City had already become a desolated city. Outside the city, it was boundless without anything. If anyone went out now, it would mean death. The innate ability to survive had once again kept a glimmer of hope within everyone. Some even wanted to contact the external world but realised that their connection were severed.

The soldiers defending the Ice Spear City were also not as resolute as imagined. Frankly speaking, the soldiers stationed in Aisbotan weren’t very strong and hadn’t experienced much warfare. Serving as a soldier in this cold and desolate place was actually a form of glory. There weren’t even many people in such a desolate place and yet who would have expected to encounter such a situation.
