After seeing Lieutenant Walker's corpse floating in the void, Su Ming's heart sank.

Lieutenant Walker had been killed!

And the killer was clearly the so-called "rescue team"!

Just as Su Ming had expected, these ten mecha warriors had not come to rescue them at all. They had come to... silence them!

Su Ming realized almost instantly that the Empire was still after Super Gene Technology. Under the pressure of public opinion from the citizens of the universe, the Empire had no choice but to kill some of those in the know and ensure that the news did not leak.

To a massive empire, an advanced technology was certainly worth far more than the lives of its citizens.

Before Su Ming could react, he sensed several powerful energy levels locking onto the spaceship.

"Damn it!"

Su Ming's heart jolted. Without time to think, he grabbed Warren beside him. His mecha instantly covered his body, and with a single movement, he smashed through the spaceship's window and leaped outside.

The moment Su Ming jumped through the spaceship window, several terrifying energy levels erupted.

One fierce attack after another engulfed the spaceship.

The spaceship's shield only managed to resist for an instant before it was shattered by the terrifying force.

After smashing through the shield, the force did not stop. It tore the entire spaceship apart.

Blinding flames erupted from the spaceship, and it instantly broke apart and exploded in space.

The soldiers aboard the spaceship had not even had time to react before they were buried in the terrifying attacks.

It was estimated that fewer than twenty people had survived!

Each of the ten mecha warriors opposite them was no weaker than Steel Lizard.

With such a terrifying lineup, they had almost instantly destroyed the spaceship, whose defensive power was astonishing!

Seeing that several people had still survived, the mecha warriors exchanged a command. They then locked onto the survivors one after another, preparing to unleash a second attack and kill them all.

But at that moment, the pilot of one of the mechas suddenly felt an extraordinarily terrifying sense of danger lock onto him.

The pilot was startled and instantly prepared to pilot his mecha in a short-range displacement.

But just then, a terrifying attack descended silently upon the mecha.

"Boom!"

The pilot felt a terrifying attack blast his mecha away.

Almost instantly, the mecha's energy shield lost 40 percent of its energy.

The Imperial mecha warrior was shocked. He turned toward the source of the attack and saw a silver-white mecha floating silently in the void, holding a long-barreled Sniper Rifle aimed at him.

Before the mecha warrior could warn his comrades, he suddenly saw the Sniper Rifle flare with crimson light again.

"Boom!"

Another shot locked firmly onto the mecha warrior.

The shot completely shattered the mecha warrior's shield, and its remaining power twisted the mecha out of shape.

The mecha warrior's heart leaped into his throat.

Fortunately, the attack had only twisted the mecha out of shape, even though its Energy Shield had been shattered.

The mecha's own material hardness still stopped the attack outside its body.

It had not killed him in a single shot.

From this, the mecha warrior could also determine that the silver mecha's pilot was probably not that powerful in terms of energy level. Otherwise, with two shots striking his mecha head-on, a mecha with a powerful energy level would have killed him outright.

Even so, the silver mecha's next attack would be enough to take his life!

"Attention! The enemy has a mecha warrior!"

He only had time to shout those words hurriedly.

In the next moment, he once again felt the enemy mecha warrior lock onto him.

An intense desire to survive erupted within him. The Imperial mecha warrior instantly piloted his mecha in continuous displacements, using evasive maneuvers to shake off the enemy mecha's lock.

But what drove him to despair was that no matter how he maneuvered, the enemy mecha always kept his presence firmly locked onto him.

It was as if, no matter how he moved, he was always stepping into the other party's predicted positions.

At that moment, the mecha warrior broke out in a cold sweat!

Too terrifying! Too terrifying!

The enemy mecha warrior's shooting skill was far too powerful. Even the comrade famous throughout the army for his sniping was probably inferior to this mecha warrior.

He could not just sit there and wait for death!

The mecha warrior gritted his teeth. Terrifying energy levels erupted from his body.

In an instant, his mecha raised an Electromagnetic Pulse Gun. He wanted to use an attack to force his opponent to maneuver. That way, the lock on his presence would certainly reveal a flaw, allowing him to follow that opening and escape the mecha warrior's lock.

To his delight...

The silver-white mecha opposite him seemed to be aiming and did not move at all. It simply floated in place, preparing to unleash an attack.

This allowed the Imperial mecha warrior to quickly lock onto the silver mecha's position.

"Boom!"

A terrifying attack was instantly released from the Electromagnetic Pulse Gun.

But at that moment, the Imperial mecha warrior's expression suddenly changed.

Because the instant he released his attack, he felt the silver mecha break free from his lock in an instant!

How was that possible?

The Imperial mecha warrior's pupils abruptly contracted.

At that moment, he suddenly recalled that someone in the circle of top-tier mecha warriors had once mentioned a special maneuver.

Just before the enemy locked onto you and launched an attack, you could use a small movement to escape the locked state.

Normally, once this technique was mastered, it was almost certain that your opponent's attack would miss completely.

Because when the locked target broke free one second before the attack was released, the attacker had already built up and unleashed the attack. There was no way to retract it.

Even if they regretted it and tried to stop, they could not take it back!

Furthermore, as the attacker released the attack, a massive opening would inevitably appear. Once the locked target escaped, they could switch from defense to offense and easily kill the attacker.

However, this technique was extremely difficult to master. The operator of the locked mecha needed powerful control over timing and exceptional maneuvering ability.

They also needed a certain ability to judge attacks.

Only when all these factors came together could someone perform such a maneuver.

Even top-tier mecha warriors would not consider using this move unless they were in a critical situation.

After all... it was far too risky!

If they failed to break free from the lock at that moment, they would definitely take the attack head-on.

Those who could use this technique at will were all people with absolute confidence in themselves!
