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

Walker had been murdered!

And the killer was, obviously, the so-called "rescue team"!

These ten mecha warriors, just as Su Ming had predicted, were not here to rescue at all, but to... silence them!

Almost instantly, Su Ming realized that the Empire was likely still after the Super Gene Technology. Under the pressure of public opinion among its citizens, the Empire had no choice but to eliminate some witnesses to prevent the news from leaking.

To a vast 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 signatures directly locking onto the spaceship.

"This is bad!"

Su Ming's heart leaped. He didn't have time for further thought. He grabbed Warren beside him, his mecha instantly covering his body. With a movement, he broke through the spaceship's window and leaped out.

The moment Su Ming burst through the spaceship window, several terrifying energy signatures erupted.

Sharp attacks directly engulfed the spaceship.

The spaceship's shield barely lasted a moment before being shattered by the terrifying power.

The force didn't stop after breaking the shield; it completely tore the entire spaceship apart.

A blinding flash of fire erupted from the spaceship, and it instantly disintegrated and exploded in the void.

The soldiers inside the spaceship were annihilated by the terrifying attack before they could even react.

It was estimated that fewer than twenty survived!

The ten mecha warriors on the opposing side were each no weaker than a Steel Lizard.

Such a terrifying lineup had almost instantly destroyed the remarkably durable spaceship!

Seeing that several people had survived, the mecha warriors exchanged signals and then locked onto the survivors, preparing to unleash a second wave of attacks to eliminate them.

But at that moment, the pilot of one of the mechas felt a terrifying sense of crisis lock onto him.

The pilot was greatly alarmed and immediately prepared to use his mecha for a short-range shift.

But just then, a terrifying attack descended upon the mecha without a sound.

"Boom!"

The pilot felt a terrifying attack send his mecha flying.

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

The Imperial mecha warrior was greatly alarmed. He looked towards the source of the attack and saw a silver-white mecha floating silently in the void, holding a long-barreled sniper rifle and aiming at him.

Before the mecha warrior could warn his comrades, he saw the sniper rifle glow crimson again.

"Boom!"

Another shot, steadily locking onto the mecha warrior.

This shot completely shattered the mecha warrior's shield, and the remaining power twisted the mecha.

The mecha warrior's heart was in his throat.

Fortunately, this strike only twisted the mecha, even though its energy shield was shattered.

The inherent hardness of the mecha's material still kept the blow from penetrating.

It hadn't been destroyed in a single hit.

From this, the mecha warrior could deduce that the pilot of the silver mecha's personal energy level was not very high. Otherwise, two direct hits on his mecha would have easily destroyed him if the attacker had been a mecha with a higher energy level.

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

"Warning, enemy mecha warrior detected!"

He barely managed to say it in a hurry.

The next moment, he felt the opposing mecha warrior lock onto him again.

A strong will to survive erupted. The Imperial mecha warrior instantly piloted his mecha, constantly shifting position, using his movement to shake off the enemy mecha's lock.

But to his despair, no matter how he moved, the opposing mecha's lock remained firmly on him.

It was as if no matter how he moved, he fell within the opponent's predicted trajectory.

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

Too terrifying! Too terrifying!

The shooting skill of the opposing mecha warrior was too high. Even his comrades renowned for their sniping skills in the army couldn't match this mecha warrior's level.

He couldn't just sit and wait for death!

The mecha warrior gritted his teeth, and a terrifying energy level erupted from within him.

Instantly, his mecha raised an Electromagnetic Pulse Gun. He intended to use his attack to force the opponent to reposition, which would surely create a weakness in their lock. Then, he could use that opening to break free from the mecha warrior's lock.

To his surprise...

The silver-white Mecha opposite them seemed to be aiming, its body stationary as it 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 unleashed from the Electromagnetic Pulse Gun.

But just then, the Imperial Mecha warrior's expression suddenly changed.

Because the moment he unleashed his attack, he felt the silver Mecha actually break free from his lock-on!

How could this be?

The Imperial Mecha warrior's pupils contracted sharply.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered that among the circle of top Mecha warriors, someone had once mentioned a special movement technique.

It was the ability to break free from a lock-on state just before the enemy's attack was unleashed, by making a slight positional adjustment.

Normally, mastering this technique almost guaranteed that one's own attack would miss 100%.

This was because the locked-on target would break free a second before the attack was released. By then, the attacker would have already prepared and unleashed their attack, and it could not be recalled.

Even if they wanted to stop it, they couldn't!

Moreover, as the attacker's attack was released, a huge opening would inevitably be created. Once the locked-on target escaped, they could turn defense into offense and easily kill the attacker.

However, this technique was extremely difficult to master, requiring the pilot of the locked-on Mecha to possess strong timing and movement control abilities.

They also needed a certain level of attack judgment.

All these factors combined were necessary to perform such an operation.

Even top Mecha warriors wouldn't resort to this move unless it was a critical moment.

After all... it was too risky!

If they failed to break the lock-on at that moment, they would undoubtedly take the full force of the attack head-on.

Those who could freely use this technique were all individuals with extreme confidence in themselves!
