Chapter 360 - 178: Cat Chasing Mouse (Part 2)
Exchanging for a sniper rifle, the advantages of this gun are obvious—energy bullets recharge with exceptional speed, capable of buffering seventy to eighty times in a minute. Currently, Su Jiameng’s shooting limit is sixty times, so this gun is quite handy.
"Now, let me see where your endurance limit lies!" Su Jiameng slightly glanced at the ground situation, roughly locking onto her target. Her lips curved into a smug smile as she slowly raised the gun.
On the ground, Cui Hu panted heavily, his eyes slightly red as he asked Gu Ningyi in a hoarse voice, "Is the timing not right yet?"
Gazing at the azure sky, his face hidden beneath a weird mask revealed a sliver of coldness, Gu Ningyi slowly said, "Almost!"
Cui Hu took a deep breath and said, "Alright, one more time! Were it not for the opponent’s strong invisibility technology, using mecha to ascend impulsively would let her escape... avoiding unnecessary sacrifices of our team members!"
"No! Sacrifices are necessary..." Gu Ningyi corrected him, "I’m certain the opponent is also testing our endurance limit, seeing how long this game of cat and mouse will last... but it’s coming to an end!"
Cui Hu twitched his mouth unhappily at the metaphor, "It’s said that cats in the Earth Era would catch mice and play them to death before eating them. Comparing us to those mice... is rather disheartening..."
Gu Ningyi glanced at him, calmly stating, "We’re the cats, not the mice... You’ve misunderstood the positions of both sides."
Cui Hu secretly rubbed his forehead, seeing this situation, any astute observer would believe that they’re the ones being toyed with by the mouse, right? However... thinking of their own trump card, he silently felt that being a cat was actually a great feeling.
Shortly after their conversation ended, Su Jiameng displayed her excellent hand speed and abnormal reaction ability, almost connecting into a bizarre straight line of azure flames resembling a dense meteor shower descending with a deathly aura.
At that moment, Gu Ningyi’s pupils contracted, the corners of his mouth beneath the mask slightly lifting, and he said, "Caught you!"
Then, the audience watching the live broadcast outside exclaimed in surprise! Because just as Su Jiameng claimed forty-five lives, a string of glaring red IDs popped out from the Death List simultaneously with the cloaked Ghost Shadow being exposed by a wave, along with the appearance of nearly a hundred diverse mechas, heavily surrounding her... The situation instantly reversed!
"Their invisibility technology is indeed strong, but not without flaws. Though the opponent tried various guns and routes to conceal this shortcoming... ultimately, it couldn’t escape the eyes of others, right?"
Gu Ningyi struck a masterly pose with his hands behind his back, looking up calmly at the slightly embarrassed Su Jiameng. Even though they were both masked, their gazes seemed to pierce through the distance and the mecha’s obstructions, clashing fiercely!
Su Jiameng twitched her lips, then boldly raised a middle finger. At this moment, the mischievous camera director gave her hand a grand close-up, amplifying her voice several times so that the audience could all hear what she said.
When her soft childlike voice spread across the stands, everyone felt an overwhelming sensation of shock... because she said...
"*F*ck your arrogance, acting superior brings disaster, playing cute is foul!" she then summarized, "*I’ll p*wn your *ss*..."
The audience could barely imagine what expression the cool masked master would have upon hearing this, but the battle was bound to escalate. Holding the mentality of "Oh sh*t, she said she’d tear your *ss*, hurry up guys," the audience eagerly watched for action.
"You’ve truly mastered the art of infuriation..." although he didn’t hear the sound, Gu Ningyi saw the raised finger, resignedly placing a hand near his forehead, then made a fist gesture towards the sky, extending three fingers.
The mechas encircling Su Jiameng seemed to receive a unified command, collectively revving up and charging at the opponent.
Of course, this attack was not without strategy. Su Jiameng returned to the Ghost Shadow cockpit and glumly realized that apart from not having a healer, the attacking team had a complete set of classes for a boss fight, didn’t they?!
The MT drew aggro, melee and ranged DPS were ready, healers remembered to heal... Wait, the team didn’t have any healers! Wrong, this is a competition, not a boss fight! Su Jiameng’s inner comments were overflowing.
With a wooden expression, she fended off one by one the troublesome but well-coordinated mecha attacks, having long deduced who these mecha controllers were. Those guys below hadn’t used mechas to ascend and fight her just to avoid alarming the opponent, while giving Theo Mossley, from the Jialanluo clan capable of controlling unmanned mechas, time to prepare and locate her position!
But... such a degree of control could hardly harm her. After all, at Su Jiameng’s peak, she could tie with the top experts of the Jialanluo clan, while the opponent could instantaneously control over ten thousand mechas, a freakishly skilled individual!
Ah... reminiscing about the past always sends chills down the spine...
As Su Jiameng geared up to respond, she simultaneously searched for gaps. Since there were nearly one hundred mechas, equating to twenty teams simultaneously facing a boss... oops, fighting her, if they focused solely on one area, they’d easily expose a flaw, leading to complete annihilation.
If she made a mistake, while it wouldn’t be a total defeat, there would surely be disgrace.
Thinking of this, she momentarily paused in controlling the mecha, then suddenly accelerated her hand speed. As one of the top-tier mechas, although Ghost Shadow was high-agility and low-defense, its fragility depended on what mecha it was compared to. At least against these, it could still handle them skillfully...(to be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian.com.
