Chapter 252: Counterstrike I
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Chong deployed Guardian. Before he ca to this wall, the territory was difficult for Guardian to move about. The black-and-white vision would make it hard for Ye Chong to study his surroundings, hence he had chosen to withdraw Guardian. However, with this wall in front of him, Guardian would be more suitable to break through. Besides, Ye Chong did not want to be defenseless without Guardian when he reached the other side. Who knew what was behind this wall?
As long as he was piloting Guardian, he would at least not be completely helpless.
Guardian shone with a dazzling gold, its black-white eyes looked like they could see through a person’s soul. Ye Chong was wearing a tight fitting spacesuit, his balanced and slender figure apparent from the outside. The soft tallic mask fitted perfectly on Ye Chong’s face, showing his facial expression clearly. The golden mask and black-white eyes had steely angles, giving Ye Chong a cold and eerie look.
Ye Chong moved without hesitation, withdrawing his two daggers. Every second was precious to him, a matter of life and death.
Swish swish! Ye Chong’s hands were so fast it was hard to follow with one’s eyes. Silently, a square hole was carved out of the alloy door.
Ye Chong looked at the hole in the alloy wall, impressed. The daggers did not disappoint him, with such astonishing sharpness!
Du Yun leaned against the door, yawning lazily as he looked at the Aren chs outside on full alert.
"Tsk tsk, these days, you can see all sorts of people out there," Du Yun sighed to himself. Today, he heard that a man had broken Lady Qiu Man’s hand. In fact, he did not quite believe the news at first. Lady Qiu Man had a fragile body, it was not impossible that she hurt her hand. However, if the news said that it was caused by a man, then it was only natural for him to feel suspicious.
What an extraordinary beauty! Her flawless features and lively eyes were so enchanting, no man would dare to hurt her. Du Yun’s heart raced. A woman like this was every man’s dream lover, and Du Yun was no exception. However, he knew that it was impossible for him to win her over. Besides, backing her was the old man Qiu. The old fellow’s terrible temper was enough to dampen Du Yun’s fantasy of that beautiful woman.
Best if he kept to his own business. However, it seed that Lady Qiu Man was really injured … He turned back to look into the house. The woman was as obstinate as her grandfather, choosing to stay at this kind of place. While security asures were taken, this place would not guarantee her safety. However, looking at the swarm of chs outside, he realized that there were chs patrolling everywhere outside the house. There was also him guarding the house. There should be no problems.
He had just received orders earlier to be here and protect Lady Qiu Man.
To him, it was definitely a golden opportunity. Du Yun imagined that should sothing happened, he would be able to prove himself. If he could win Lady Qiu Man’s approval, that would be most wonderful. However, looking at the tight security outside, Du Yun did not think anyone would be foolish enough to make trouble here.
"Perhaps, today’s only going to be routine work," Du Yun mocked himself inside.
Suddenly, Du Yun froze. His cynical attitude earlier was all gone, his expression turned serious as he tilted his head like he was listening for sothing. As the Freedom Alliance’s advanced ch pilot, he was much stronger than the average ch pilot. This was the reason he was assigned to be here.
He heard a faint but dull sound. If it was so other normal person, they would have thought they heard wrong. However, Du Yun knew better. True experts were confident of their own abilities.
What followed was utter silence.
Du Yun’s expression turned grimr still. He quickly deployed his ch.
Du Yun’s ch was silver with a dull, matte surface, giving off a rustic and steady feel. Compared to Aren’s 15-ter high build, this ch looked more compact. From the exterior, it looked like a close range ch, complete with a shield and laser sword. The only eye-catching feature was a blood red chain wrapping its upper half body. It looked like red chainmail on the ch. At the ends of the chain were two tal spheres covered with barbs. On the bulging parts of its shoulders were two concealed shooting chambers, storing powerful energy weapons. This allowed the ch to be capable of close and long range combat.
Du Yun’s ch was quite famous in the Freedom Alliance, with the pleasant na Windchi. The ch pilots around Du Yun saw him deploying his ch, and were all curious. They did not notice anything amiss. However, with Du Yun’s reputation, no one doubted him. Since Du Yun made his move, everyone instantly felt a sense of foreboding.
However, the absence of a target made them all nervous and confused.
Du Yun had no ti to waste on explaining. He quickly climbed up into Windchi’s pilot cabin. From the ch’s weapons, it was clear that the Freedom Alliance’s ch pilots were all trained in close and long range combat. Close range combat was compulsory for all their ch pilots. As an elite mber, Du Yun’s strength in this field was apparent. Climbing into his ch’s pilot cabin was the quickest way to get there.
Once he was inside, Du Yun hesitated no further and rushed inside the house.
Windchi may be a lot smaller than Aren, but it was still over 10 ters tall. The room’s door would not fit the ch. However, Du Yun had no ti for such trivialities. That faint sound he heard did not bode well. Suddenly, he realized where the enemy might be escaping to.
D*mn it!
Even the reinforced walls could not stand against Windchi’s impact. Bang! The wall crumbled into pieces, and Windchi swiftly made its way into the room. All the ch pilots standing outside stared at Du Yun’s baffling and crazy reaction, unable to grasp the situation.
The people inside the room were also alard by his actions.
Standing behind Qiu Man, Guang’s hollow eyes now shone brightly. He quickly stepped before Qiu Man, moving too fast for the human eye to follow. Qiu Man only heard a thunderous crash and almost imdiately, Guang was already in front of her.
Windchi’s impact had caused the many composite and alloy pieces to fly towards Qiu Man.
Du Yun groaned. He was too focused on the enemy that he had forgotten Lady Qiu Man was defenseless. Before he could react any further, Guang was already standing before Qiu Man, reaching outwards with his hands, easily deflecting all the wall fragnts flying towards him away to the other corners of the room. None of the fragnts hit Guang, and Qiu Man, standing behind him, was unhard.
Du Yun heaved a sigh of relief. He now knew that the man with hollow eyes, following Lady Qiu Man around like a puppet was actually an expert. Even he was impressed by the middle-aged man’s moves. While he could have deflected the fragnts as well, he would not be able to do it so easily.
Just then, the situation turned for the worse!
Wham! It was another loud crash. The wall to the right of Du Yun crumbled into dust, as the fragnts flew towards him.
Du Yun was at least a veteran, and did not panic despite the surprise. With the middle-aged man here, these fragnts would not harm Lady Qiu Man.
Du Yun’s did not leave the controls. In fact, when he first stepped into the room, he was already in a high state of alertness.
Suddenly, Du Yun’s eyes widened. A two-ter square of tal plate was mixed amongst the fragnts, and was flying straight towards Lady Qiu Man. This was a huge tal plate, moving at high speed. If anyone was hit by it, the victim would definitely be reduced to broken flesh and bones. Even if he was confident of the middle-aged man’s abilities, Du Yun dared not take the risk.
His hands danced across the controls.
The blood red chain that wrapped around Windchi’s body like a poisonous serpent suddenly raised its head and struck out! It moved swiftly, overtaking the tal plate. The barbs on the tal sphere’s barbs shone like a snake’s poisonous fangs.
Ding!
The sharp clang of tal against tal was painful to the ear. The tal plate was hit, and diverged from its course, flying off to the side. However, with her ears unprotected, Qiu Man’s face writhed in pain.
Du Yun was intensely alert. Up until now, the enemy had not showed himself. However, when he saw his tal sphere hit the tal plate, he felt a little relieved.
However, just 0.1 seconds after his barbed tal sphere hit the tal plate, Du Yun saw a shadow move past him. A golden figure suddenly appeared behind the two-ter square tal plate, moving so quickly that Du Yun only caught a blur of a shadow.
Du Yun was shocked! That was fast!
The golden figure suddenly pressed against the wall. At that mont, a minute pause in its movents allowed Du Yun to finally make out the golden figure clearly.
This person was wearing a weird gold-coloured tight suit, that covered even his face. The odd tallic gold luster seed like soft-textured material, showing the wearer’s facial expressions clearly. The black-white eyes on the gold mask were a striking visual contrast.
Du Yun felt a sudden chill in him for no apparent reason! He did not know that those black-white eyes would carve themselves deep into his mories!
The gold figure suddenly stopped moving, and adopted a strange posture. It bent its legs and pushed one hand against the wall, looking like a tightly drawn bow.
Not good! Du Yun imdiately gauged the enemy’s intention. His expression twisted as he moved quick as lightning to prepare himself!
