Chapter 33

"…It’s over, I’m really going to die here today!"

Surrounded by numerous bodyguards and half-lying on the ground, Councilor Cheng Tiande looked at the hellish scene around him, his lips tightly pressed together, his face ashen, and his heart sinking bit by bit.

Today, he had come out hunting with his entourage out of interest, and it had been quite fruitful. However, his luck was really bad, and he had stumbled upon a large group of Blood Mane Striped Lions that were migrating.

At the time of the incident, he and his entourage were setting up camp at the edge of a hill and having a barbecue. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late!

The Blood Mane Striped Lions, these native fierce beasts, had two major troublesome traits: one was their terrifying numbers, and the other was their innate electromagnetic interference ability.

Although it was just the most basic electromagnetic interference control ability with a very limited range, when hundreds of lions released this ability together, the consequences were no less than a terrifying full-spectrum jamming!

The optical brain control systems of several hover cars were immediately rendered useless, unable to take off to escape, and even unable to send out distress signals! It was only by chance that a high-altitude intelligent patrol drone passing by noticed something amiss and reported the situation to the police department, which then forwarded it to the military as they were unable to handle it.

Of course, Councilor Cheng Tiande did not know that efforts were being made outside to rescue them, and he thought he had no hope of surviving this place.

As the ferocious lion pack approached step by step, a bodyguard who was slightly slower was dragged out of the defensive circle by an enraged lion. The pack swarmed over, and the unfortunate bodyguard disappeared in a few breaths, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground!

Cheng Tiande sighed bitterly, raised the miniature ion gun in his hand, and decided to end his own life. He could not bear to watch his body be torn apart and devoured by the terrifying lion pack in the same way!

A slender, dark blue beam of light silently fell from the sky, hitting a lion's forehead. The creature took a few more steps and then fell to the ground!

Then several more beams of light shot down in succession, taking down the most aggressive lions one by one! The ferocious attack of the lion pack was immediately slowed.

"Sir, a mecha has come to save us!" a bloodied bodyguard shouted in surprise.

Cheng Tiande's expression brightened, and he put down the gun to look up at the sky. When he saw only one mecha in the sky, his face darkened again!

"If it were Ah Han driving her 'Shadow,' there might be some hope! But this mecha looks like a poor model. It’s doubtful it can turn the tide…" he sighed.

At this moment, the lion pack finally discovered the unwelcome visitor in the sky who had killed several of their companions. They roared fiercely, and invisible electromagnetic interference waves surged toward the sky!

Qin Huang was in a difficult position with his teaching mecha, as electromagnetic interference was unavoidable! Not only did the detection and communication modules fail, but even the mecha itself was at risk of losing control if it got too close.

However, the firing speed of the laser gun was not unlimited. One gun against hundreds of lions was like a drop in the ocean! If they ignored the attacks on him and focused on the people on the ground, he would not have time to help, let alone gather their remains!

The only feasible way to hold off these intelligent native fierce beasts was to descend to the ground and use the particle oscillation blade to sweep through them, killing them one by one!

The risk of doing so was obvious. A slight mistake could result in this defenseless teaching mecha being torn to pieces!

"I can only take a gamble! I hope the military can act faster!"

Qin Huang's eyes flashed with determination. He activated the particle oscillation blade, reduced the output of the anti-gravity engine, and the silver mecha fell vertically from the sky, smashing into the head of an especially strong lion, crushing it into a pulp!

The bright energy blade flickered, creating a series of blade shadows as it launched a fierce attack on the surrounding lion pack. In an instant, seven or eight Blood Mane Striped Lions had their heads cut off, and their headless bodies lay on the ground, still twitching!

However, the enraged lion pack quickly reacted, viciously surrounding and attacking, determined to kill this new enemy!

The mecha's detection and fire control attack modules had failed, and only the source energy induction control system and the particle oscillation blade were still functioning. Therefore, Qin Huang had no choice but to fight to the death, carving out a bloody path!

Fortunately, with the help of the Alaya-vijnana mind technique, his perception of the environment remained unaffected, and his attack speed and response ability far exceeded that of the fierce beasts, allowing him to maintain the upper hand for the time being.

Unfortunately, it was just a teaching mecha. If he were driving a military mecha, even a basic mass-produced model, the weapon configuration would be much more complete! A few powerful missiles would make it much easier to deal with these lions!

"…This person actually dared to come down?!" Cheng Tiande looked at the silver mecha moving rapidly in and out of the lion pack, unsure of what to think.

To dare to fight a dense pack of fierce beasts with just a poor mecha was not something everyone could do.

"Sir, this person… should have at least the strength of a third-class mobile warrior!" a bodyguard beside him whispered. "I wonder why he doesn’t have a better mecha! Otherwise, the situation would be much better!"

Cheng Tiande shook his head. "No, I think his real combat strength is not much worse than Ah Han’s! Even if she were here, she might not do better!"

"Will he make it?" another bodyguard asked in a low voice.

The hover cars could not be fixed in a short time, and if this mecha could not turn the tide and drive away the lion pack, their fate would not change, only the timing of their death.

Cheng Tiande just smiled bitterly. "If he had a mecha that matched his strength, dealing with these lions would not be a problem. Unfortunately…"

By now, he had figured out that this mobile warrior was likely nearby and had been urgently called in by the military, who were short of personnel. The real reinforcements were still on the way, and who knew when they would arrive.

He hoped the warrior could hold on longer and wait for the military to arrive! The councilor prayed in his heart.

On the other side, Qin Huang swung the particle oscillation blade, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks. The bright blade flashed like lightning, weaving through the lion pack, and with each flash, one or two Blood Mane Striped Lions would howl and fly backward, rolling and struggling on the ground before falling silent!

In a short time, a dense circle of Blood Mane Striped Lion corpses lay around the silver mecha, numbering over a hundred. The spilled internal organs mixed with blood had even formed several pools of blood in the low-lying areas.

This high-intensity attack frequency consumed a huge amount of source energy. Qin Huang, who was still some distance from becoming a second-class mobile warrior, soon felt the signs of exhaustion.

"Only ninety seconds at most…" he immediately assessed the maximum time he could hold out. After that, without effective replenishment, he would enter a weakened state due to source energy depletion, losing all combat ability.

But this amount of time was only enough to kill another hundred Blood Mane Striped Lions, which, combined with the previous kills, was only about half of the total number of lions! If the reinforcements did not arrive by then, his fate would be clear!

Despite knowing the outcome, he did not show any fear or hesitation, continuing to swing the blade and kill the lions one by one. Relying on others was not an option; the only way now was to fight for survival!

The ninety seconds passed in a flash, and the attack speed of the silver mecha clearly slowed down. The outer lion pack saw their chance and immediately roared excitedly, rushing forward in a frenzy.

Qin Huang struggled to swing the blade, cutting a lion in half, but felt a wave of dizziness and weakness wash over him.

Two Blood Mane Striped Lions pounced, tearing at the mecha’s energy shield. He managed to cut down one with a desperate swing, but the other was beyond his strength!

At this point, the mecha’s remaining reserve energy was almost depleted, and it could not even take off again.

A few seconds later, under the combined attacks of the lions, the energy shield finally collapsed, dissipating into streams of light. The sharp teeth and claws of the fierce beasts made contact with the mecha’s body for the first time.

The high-strength alloy body might resist for a moment, but it could not solve the problem. At this point, Qin Huang in the cockpit could no longer hold on, his body slumping in the seat, falling into a deep sleep.

No matter what, he had done his best!

Just as his consciousness was about to fade into chaos, a sharp pain from his hand transmitted to his brain. The mysterious Qiro Jianmu leaf in his body glowed with a soft golden light, and a cool sensation quickly spread through his entire body, revitalizing his depleted source energy at an incredible speed. It was like a dried-up pond suddenly receiving a new stream of water, quickly becoming full again.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the lion pack still attacking fiercely. The mecha, which had stopped moving, swayed precariously, about to be knocked over, with bite marks all over its body, indicating that he had been unconscious for a short time.

"Die, all of you!" The particle oscillation blade moved rapidly, creating arcs of blade light that cut down the dozen or so lions that were tearing at it!

The revitalized mecha began a ruthless slaughter, and soon another hundred Blood Mane Striped Lions lay in the blood. The remaining lions finally began to feel fear, roaring in frustration and retreating like a tide.

At this moment, a rumbling sound could be heard from the distant sky, and more than a dozen light points were flying toward them at high speed.
