The Beginning of Mountain Collapse

As Wang Ji slid into the Biological Repair Pod, a series of silent commands were transmitted upwards through extremely concealed passages at the bottom of the ship. Some of these commands even appeared within the solid steel walls that had already been cast and forged.

The pilots, who were panicking and trying to take off, suddenly saw a series of commands appear on the dozens of light screens in front of them. "The highest authority has initiated the data destruction procedure. This ship is facing an unknown danger. This procedure is irreversible and cannot be stopped."

"Star map data erasure..."

"Black box data erasure..."

"Ship distribution data erased..."

"Ship enters self-destruct countdown, 300 seconds, 299 seconds..."

"Escape Pod enter Ghost Dance Return Mode, 42 Escape Pod launch simultaneously, accuracy set at 2.38%."

Then the light screen in the driver's cab simultaneously went out.

In the silent universe, countless flames suddenly erupted from beneath the main ship of the Meteorite Base, and then the thick bottom armor opened.

After streaks of light appeared, Escape Pod shaped like barracudas plunged into the vast universe.

Then suddenly they scattered and exploded, their trajectories impossible to trace.

The three drivers exchanged glances. There was only one explanation: the Mr. Wang Ji, the highest commander of their transport ship, was in danger!

"The time has come to serve the family."

The three exchanged a glance, and a sense of death simultaneously surfaced in their eyes.

Born and raised here, their families and roots are in the Wang family. If they betray the interests of their family, then their own relatives will ultimately suffer!

No matter who the enemy is, we cannot allow them to find Mr. Wang Ji's whereabouts!

"Boom!"

A huge explosion came from the entrance to the cockpit, and the heavy metal door was blown open amidst the flames.

Then, before the smoke and dust had even cleared, several figures walked in.

Bang bang bang!

The drivers fired their guns simultaneously, and the first one fell to the ground instantly, his body erupting in several sprays of blood.

"Are all the people on this ship crazy? Aren't they afraid of dying?! Damn it, not a single one of them has cooperated with us!"

Three crisp gunshots rang out, and instantly, a bloody hole appeared in the foreheads of the three drivers.

A grumbling, Luo Saihu emerged from the dust and mist.

Roderick, who remained silent, stood beside him.

"You're a veteran of Luoqi Heavy Industries, can you tell me what's going on? The electromagnetic shielding was still on, so how did this ship eject so many Escape Pod! And they're heading in 42 different directions! That old fox!! Damn it!"

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows." Roderick finally uttered those four words.

"However, I must have hit a vein in that old man. He couldn't possibly have had proper surgical conditions while fleeing in such a hurry. With such a long flight distance, it's uncertain whether he can survive."

"But while you ran away, your spaceship didn't, hehe."

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the Luo Saihu's face. This was truly a reassuring thing.

"What's next? We've already got the Extreme Soldier." Roderick didn't respond to his question, but instead asked what he, as a pilot, should ask.

"First, familiarize yourself with the Extreme Soldier, and proceed as planned. We will monitor the actions of all Luoqi Heavy Industries branches at all times. As long as there are no unusual movements, it means that old geezer Wang Ji is dead. Even if there are, don't worry, we will make internal arrangements for you regarding the Mecha Martial Arts Competition."

Any word the Luo Saihu uttered casually was enough to send chills down one's spine.

Roderick remained silent, neither opposing nor agreeing.

Seeing the Chief Mecha Pilot's indifferent expression, the Luo Saihu snorted coldly and gave an order to the person next to him:

"These useless pilots are all dead. Find someone to crack the ship's map. I want to see where Luoqi Heavy Industries' real hidden base is."

They searched for so much because of the Extreme Soldier machine that Luoqi Heavy Industries suddenly produced.

It's highly likely that this involves the application of Gravity Engine. If there isn't some huge secret behind it, even they probably wouldn't believe it.

The purpose of this Planetfall Operation was to seize Luoqi Heavy Industries, for which the master had already expended countless amounts of financial and human resources.

As for how many forces are involved behind this matter, it's something that an ordinary executor like him could never know.

All he knew was that under the crushing force of such immense power, no Li Du could resist it.

These self-proclaimed nobles, who considered themselves at the pinnacle of civilization, never hesitated to devour people without spitting out the bones.

Half a minute later, a person who looked like a programmer came over. After he plugged his Optical Brain connector into the main console, a bright red countdown text appeared on the Optical Brain screen.

Then he was so frightened that he jumped up.

"Run! This warship is about to self-destruct!"

Luo Saihu and Roderick looked up and saw the bright red countdown display. "Ship enters self-destruct countdown, 210 seconds, 209 seconds..."

"Damn it! Run!" the Luo Saihu shouted in alarm, and took off running. He should reach the docking module in less than a minute if he ran at full speed.

Roderick then shouted to the person next to him, "Is that mech installed yet?"

"It's being installed."

Another person dressed as a maintenance engineer quickly replied that he had communication devices on him.

"Tell them that if they can't be pulled over in one minute, they'll all die here! That old madman Wang Ji."

The group ran back at ten times the speed they had come from, without needing anyone to urge them on. If they were slow, they would simply have to stay on the transport ship and wait to die.

"150 seconds, 149 seconds..."

The Luo Saihu and his companions appeared in the lower docking bay, where the mech was being loaded into the belly compartment.

"110 seconds..."

Luo Saihu and Roderick stood in the cockpit of the small transport plane.

"Hurry, start it up!"

"The engine needs to be warmed up, otherwise there is a risk of damage."

"What the hell are you talking about? Just force it to start."

Without saying a word, the Luo Saihu pulled the lever all the way down.

A powerful jet of air shot out, and the intense heat instantly turned the entire docking bay red before transforming into a streak of light and bursting out of the main ship from the Meteorite Base.

One minute later, a burst of fire exploded in space.

Seeing the silent yet beautiful and dazzling fireworks in space, the Luo Saihu, still shaken, collapsed to the ground, then forced himself to crawl into the captain's cabin.

After the isolation door closed, the Luo Saihu took a deep breath.

This is so exciting! What seemed like a sure thing was first ruined by a half-dead old man who escaped, and then somehow managed to detonate the transport ship without anyone noticing.

Feeling the cold metal wall behind his head, the Luo Saihu twitched his lips, took out a Sky Communicator, and pressed it down.

Beep... beep...

"Speak."

Only one word was sent from the Sky Communicator, but after it was spoken, the incredibly arrogant Luo Saihu gave a smirk.

"Master, the matter has been completed, but Wang Ji's fate is currently unknown. The Extreme Soldier Second Prototype has been acquired. Please instruct us on the next steps."

The Luo Saihu then reported the events that had just occurred in detail.

After a silence of more than a minute, a voice finally came from the other end of the Sky Communicator: "Whether it's good fortune or bad luck, you don't need to worry about that. Get to Landu Star within three days before the Mecha Martial Arts Competition, and I'll take care of the rest."

The voice on the other end of the Sky Communicator was as sinister as a venomous snake.
