Chapter 427
/*unedited*/
The lush trees covered the whole ground making visibility in the area hard and limited. But the shaking of the ground is foretelling that there are heavy objects moving within the vicinity. The tense feeling in the surroundings is making each and every person inside the area jittery and at the edge.
The arena was silent as the audience watches with bathed breath while two groups of tallic humanoid figures carefully hunted each other on the battlefield.
This is not a ga or an exercise but a real-live battle using live ammunition. One mistake and it can cost the pilots of each humanoid ch injuries. Although it would not cost them their lives the pain they would experience is real and would be agonizing.
"Sector 1 is clear. No enemy here." A pilot said as he checks around the area.
Since the coast is clear, the pilot cald down his tensed body. He is currently inside a 2-ter-tall ch, although the ch is a bit faster than the larger ones, their armor is a bit flimsy and weak. So he is not that confident of the ch's capacity to withstand bullets.
Bang!
A loud sound woke the pilot up from his stupor and suddenly found himself appearing in the pilot waiting stand in the outer part of the arena where other mbers of their crew are watching and waiting.
He was still disoriented at what happened. But then he discovered that his hands are actually burned.
Arrgghh!!!
"dic! Co here!" one of the personnel imdiately called.
Although the man is okay and was not hurt, since he is wearing a normal jumpsuit it was not enough to protect himself from burns caused by the large caliber bullets and the eruption of the chanical parts of the ch.
"What happened?"
"How did that ch gets destroyed?"
"I saw it! There! One of the small silver chs is a sniper."
The audience began to clamor at the situation. When they saw a ch being destroyed everyone imdiately beca worried about the pilot inside. But when they saw the screen showing the condition of the pilot who just had minor burns, everyone was astounded.
Now they realized that this is one of the safety features of the battlefield. It would not cause a pilot's life but of course, minor injuries are still possible.
Suddenly a loud cheer erupted within the crowd.
'Damn it! One of us was taken out! Be careful there is a sniper.'
'How can they do that? This whole place has zero visibility?'
'Stupid… our chs are heavier than theirs of course they can detect the sound.'
The clamoring of the pilots on the radio began to echo. Even the audience stops their cheering upon hearing this as silence envelops the area once again.
"Nice one brother Shin." Park Jiyong said as he saw one of their enemies disappearing from the roster in his display HUD.
Since radar doesn't work in the arena they cannot detect their enemies, so every pilot would have to rely on their instinct and fast reaction.
'Jiyong, I will change my position. I can see two chs walking towards you. Keep low… I'm coming to assist.'
"Yes, brother Shin… Can I… Can I try to take them on in close combat?"
'Are you sure? If you are confident, then go. I will try to assist you.'
"Roger that! Hehe…" Park Jiyong excitedly sneaks as he let his ch crawl on all fours.
Suddenly his ch changed its tallic shine and turned brown as if it beca like a stone.
"Damn! That was cool…"
"Look at that, although I can still see that it is a ch, I think the other pilots would have a hard ti seeing that."
"Wait look at the movent of the other small ch… isn't that really fast… I an it's doesn't move like a ch but a human."
Those who are watching are now dumbfounded at seeing the situation in the battlefield arena, especially when Shin Jiao and Park Jiyong began to encircle their clueless opponent.
"Damn, this is cheating!" shouted Lin Qintang in the VIP viewing lounge.
"Haha… Mr. Qintang, you can't say that… in the first place, they are using guerrilla tactics against your more powerful and heavily ard chs." A man on the side said.
The man is actually a military officer so Lin Qintang kept his mouth shut. Although he is stronger than most people in the room, he felt sothing odd upon entering the stadium. This is because he could not exert any of his Qi inside it. It's like he is being suppressed while staying in the area.
Inside the arena, Park Jiyong can now see the two chs closing in on his location.
When they were at close range, his ch suddenly sprang up from the ground.
"Ambush! Fire at will!" cried the pilot inside the bigger ch.
Bratatat! Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The loud sound of heavy weapons being fired echoed through the arena. It imdiately toppled many of the trees and rocks in the surroundings, turning them into debris.
Smoke began to rise up to the air as two chs threw everything they got at the location where Park Jiyong's ch appeared.
The smoke covered the area and visibility is almost zero. But the ch has their own special vision as they stop firing and began scanning their surroundings which is now full of debris.
'Did we destroy it?'
'Haha… I think we obliterated that guy. Not even the pilot can escape that.'
'Are you stupid? Don't let your guard…'
The two began to talk on their radio, but all of a sudden, the pilot of the bigger ch stopped speaking.
'Hey! Are you there? Hey!' the pilot of the smaller ch shouted on the radio.
The dust and black smoke are still thick and the visibility is limited, so the pilot in the smaller ch began to panic. But as a soldier and a pilot, he followed his instinct and began to move to make his way to the outer part of the area where it is clear.
"Co out!" he suddenly shouted as he once again scanned the surroundings.
He had a hunch that his companion is already out.
Suddenly, he saw a silver figure rushing out of the dust cloud with a blade in hand.
"Damn you! Die!" shouted the pilot as he pointed his large rifle on the rushing ch.
Bratatat! Bratatat!
He squeezed multiple shots towards the ch, but because of the speed, he is unable to keep the large moving figure on his sight.
Although there are bullets that would luckily scrape through the armor of the ch, it was not enough to cause it damage.
Then the ch piloted by Park Jiyong suddenly twisted its torso and suddenly sliced the ch in half by its waist.
Boom!
The ch erupted after being cut in half.
"Damn that was cool!"
"It's like watching a great swordsman in the battlefield fighting against giants."
"I love you! Park Jiyong!"
"Park Jiyong! Park Jiyong!"
The crowd cried in excitent as they witnessed how Park Jiyong ended the two chs in a cool way. The execution of the movents and the way he sheaths the sharp sword back to its hilt made everyone look in awe of the ch which can move like a normal human being.
anwhile, from the shadows, the last remaining ch already had Park Jiyong on his sight.
'Hehe… Do you think you've already won? Die you stupid b*stard!' the pilot shouted inside the cockpit while grinning upon having the ch of Park Jiyong on his sight.
He has been watching the fight a while ago and was actually stunned at the nimbleness of the ch. Although the chs they are piloting is able to walk and do many humanoid movents, but they are sluggish and slow. Hence they have to adapt to its speed in their practice for the whole week.
However, the ch they are facing is on another level. Hence he knew that the only way to win is to do an ambush.
All of his weapons are hot and his sight is already locked onto the ch of Park Jiyong.
"No! Get out of there!"
"Don't just stand there! Run Park Jiyong!"
"Why is he just standing there?"
The audience wanted to tell Park Jiyong to escape but of course, they couldn't as communication from the outside is unable to interfere with the barrier.
The pilot squeezes the trigger in anticipation as he savors the taste of his first victory against his opponent. But suddenly, he found himself having his vision blurred and when his sight ca to, he is now in front of the crew mbers of his team who had a dejected look on their faces.
When he turns his gaze he can see his teammates on the bed with burns and injuries on their bodies. Then he was woken up by a tinge of pain on the side of his face where blood slowly trickled down as there was a small cut on his head.
"dic! dic!"
The crowd on the stage erupted in glee as they saw what happened.
"They won! That was cool! That was really aweso!"
"I love you! Oppa!"
"I love you Park Jiyong, oppa!"
Cried all the audiences as they cheered at the two remaining chs on the battlefield. The fight was not that long but it gave everyone a satisfying experience.
Suddenly, Central's voice echoed through the stadium and declared the winner of the first stage.
Then the chs of Shin Jiao and Park Jiyong exited the battlefield.
"You did well on your swordsmanship out there… Congratulations…" Shin Jiao said while patting Park Jiyong's shoulder after the two alighted their chs.
"Haha… I have a good teacher."
As the two went out of the garage, Park Jiyong saw a beautiful woman running towards him. He was a bit taken aback and when she flung herself to his arms his heart almost jumps with joy.
"You were aweso!" Marie cried as she hugs Park Jiyong excitedly.
