Silicon Invasion

The anticipated explosion didn't occur.

Ro Rui mustered all his strength to slam the ammunition box against the opponent's mech's chest, but at the critical moment, the opponent discarded the grenade launcher and defended with both hands, successfully blocking the impact.

However, the most important thing was that the quality of military-grade products was once again proven; the entire ammunition box had many impact-resistant structures added, and even in such a violent collision, it didn't explode.

“Whew~”

Teacher Li exhaled a breath of stale air, realizing that unconventional methods couldn't be judged by common sense; who in their right mind would use rocket projectiles as melee weapons in a fight?

That last attack was indeed a bit dangerous; if it had exploded, even if the cockpit hadn't been breached, the impact would have been enough to give him a hard time.

Despite the failed attack, Ro Rui wasn't discouraged. Although the last hit didn't explode, the ammunition box fell apart due to the impact.

A large pile of rockets tumbled out, clattering through the intertwined arms and crashing onto the mech's chest's super-plastic armor.

Ro Rui manipulated the mech's right hand to grab one, while his left hand pushed forcefully, and at the same time, the front thrusters activated. As he stood up, he hurled the rocket in his hand.

Teacher Li was shocked but didn't have a good solution. All defensive weapons were based on trajectory calculations according to the opponent's cannon muzzle direction, but this type of hand-thrown projectile couldn't be calculated by the auxiliary AI.

Besides, the distance was too short, leaving no time to react or operate. Teacher Li only controlled the mech to activate the front right thruster, slightly turning his body, and the rocket had already impacted.

With a loud “BOOM!”, a burst of flames erupted. This time, without any impact-resistant devices to hinder it, the rocket successfully detonated upon impact.

Teacher Li's decision not to continue holding up his arms but instead to turn sideways was a wise move. During the explosion, the rockets that had rolled onto his chest were also knocked to the ground due to the sideways movement, and the body blocked most of the explosion's power, so Ro Rui's throw only resulted in a single explosion.

If Teacher Li had made the wrong choice, he probably would have had to deal with a series of explosions.

However, even though there was only one explosion, it still caused some damage to the mech. A piece of the super-plastic armor on the lower side of the chest was blown off. Fortunately, the overall mechanical structure was not affected, and the cockpit only suffered a slight impact, which Teacher Li could withstand with a little rest.

However, Ro Rui wouldn't just watch his opponent recover. The front thrusters were turned off, and the rear shoulder thrusters were activated. The mech that had just risen was pressed down again, and at a fast speed.

The metal foot was like a heavy hammer, slamming hard into the opponent's upper abdomen. The thin super-plastic armor couldn't withstand this kind of force, and pieces flew everywhere.

The waist and abdomen sacrificed a lot of defense for flexibility, and after this blow, although it hadn't completely broken, some bone armor structures had already deformed.

“Ugh!”

More serious than the damage to the mech was the pilot himself. The violent shaking finally caused the unknown liquid that Teacher Li had been holding back in his throat to gush out, and the smell of semi-digested food mixed with stomach acid spread in the nearly sealed helmet.

Although the inside of the helmet was thoughtfully equipped with a cleaning device, which automatically activated to clean the unknown substances blocking the field of vision and data panel, the in-game equipment couldn't interfere with reality.

So even though everything was clean in front of him, Teacher Li still felt a faint, sour smell.

But even in this situation, Teacher Li still wasn't too flustered and operated steadily, trying to salvage the situation.

He controlled the mech to grab the metal foot stepping on his abdomen, and the thrusters on his back suddenly exerted force. The Bluebird couldn't do a split, so Ro Rui was simply flipped out, while Teacher Li took the opportunity to stand up.

The offense and defense instantly switched positions. Taking advantage of Ro Rui's loss of balance, Teacher Li quickly took a few steps, wanting to get close to Ro Rui again, but the damage to his waist and abdomen caused a slight flaw in the mech's rapid sprint, resulting in a step too slow.

In a battle between experts, a slight difference can lead to a huge mistake! The flipped-out Ro Rui immediately used the back thrust to stop and re-balance the mech, extending his arms forward in a wild charge, with full power.

Teacher Li wanted to get close to Ro Rui, but Ro Rui didn't want to widen the distance either. His recoilless rifle was still lying on the side, the grenade launcher was already scrapped, and the rocket launcher could still work normally, but the ammunition box had been thrown out by him as a brick.

Now, the only long-range means he had left was the machine gun. Widening the distance would be tantamount to courting death.

It wasn't that Teacher Li couldn't see this, but he still wanted to close the distance. His grenade launcher had just been discarded, and the two shoulder-mounted weapons were still barely usable.

But with Ro Rui's skills, even with the three long-range weapons in hand just now, he hadn't hurt him at all. Now, even if he widened the distance, wanting to snipe Ro Rui with two long-range weapons would undoubtedly be a pipe dream.

When the weapons and ammunition were exhausted, he would still have to close in for a final battle. Everyone was a decent person, and time was precious, so it was better to fight in a decent manner.

Teacher Li's mech had injuries to its waist, and choosing a head-on collision would probably worsen the injury. If it caused the waist and abdomen functions to fail, then he would undoubtedly lose.

Fighting to this extent with a student was, frankly, embarrassing enough. Even if the opponent was a genius, it would take time to grow. Teacher Li decided to exert his full strength and leave a deep impression on this genius.

Ro Rui didn't know what his opponent was thinking, otherwise, he would definitely complain bitterly. Whether it was Teacher Li or Cui Qiang, they were all men, so why did they all want to leave a deep impression on him?

Facing the charging Ro Rui, Teacher Li didn't choose to resist head-on but chose the simplest method: point-blank range, one shot!

After the fight just now, the ammunition for his recoilless rifle had been secretly reloaded, and now it was just right to give Ro Rui a surprise.

The surprise couldn't really be considered a surprise. Ro Rui wasn't blind; he could see such a large cannon barrel turning around. Although a point-blank shot was almost instantaneous because of the short distance, aiming was really too difficult when the opponent was prepared.

So this point-blank shot unexpectedly missed. Fortunately, Ro Rui changed direction to avoid being locked by the cannon barrel, which slowed down his forward momentum.

“Whoosh, whoosh!”

The reloading of the rocket launcher was also successfully completed. A double surprise was offered, completely interrupting Ro Rui's wild charge. Teacher Li took the opportunity to step forward, successfully getting close to Ro Rui.

If a mech knows martial arts, no one can stop it.

Although with mankind's current technological level, mechs are far from being able to do martial arts to that extent, the corresponding mech combat skills, which Teacher Li, who came from a professional background, was much better at than Ro Rui, who was self-taught.
